Chapter 192: Leon who doesn't want to be a stepping stone (the second update is guaranteed, ask for a monthly pass!) )
In the away game with Lyon, Napoli still sent the whole main team, Mazzali did not dare to take it lightly, and Chen Yingying also needed more goals.
So in this game, Napoli insisted on attacking tactics even if it was away. Of course they knew that Lyon would attack as well – and there was no other way for Lyon to do so than to attack, if they still wanted to turn the tables around......
When the two sides attack, there will inevitably be many loopholes that can be exploited. Lyon can also score, Napoli can also score.
It depends on who scores the most goals.
However, Napoli still have a four-goal lead, so if everyone is attacking, Napoli are not afraid of Lyon - provided that there are no factors other than football.
At the same time, there are more gaps, and it will be easier to score goals. It's a good thing for Chen Yingying, who continues to score goals.
The media also paid special attention to this game, of course, not because there was still any suspense about the outcome of this game, and even the most optimistic Lyon fans thought they were lost, let alone the wall-lined media.
There is only one reason why the media is paying attention to this game - Chen Yingxing.
Everyone wants to see if Chen Yingying can continue to score.
Because just before this game, Messi, who didn't move in the first round, suddenly broke out. He scored twice in the second leg against Arsenal. One of those goals was a penalty. Messi is not the team's top penalty taker, and from this penalty kick, it is obvious that Barcelona wants to ensure Messi as the top scorer.
And in the Napoli team, the penalty is basically nothing to do......
A reporter asked Chen Yingying what he thought about Messi's two yuan.
As a result, Chen Yingying's answer made Barcelona and Messi fans crazy.
'He scored a penalty? That's good, it proves that they're scared of me, and they have to use penalties to make up the score. Please tell Messi and Barcelona that they will not take the penalty. ”
People who hate Chen Yingying call this attitude "arrogant and arrogant", and those who like Chen Yingying think that such Chen Yingying is "domineering and leaking".
As for the question of Van Persie's sending off that caused the game to take a fundamental turn, Chen Yingying shrugged: "I'm not surprised at all, there is always something controversial in the game against Barcelona. I don't comment on Robin van Persie's red card because I didn't watch the game. I'm just sorry for the Gunners, they're a good team. ”
On the second leg against Lyon, he said: "Of course we will give it our all and we will not give up just because we were four goals ahead in the first leg. As for the reasons why you won't give up the game, of course you know ......"
The reporters who interviewed him laughed.
That's true. Within the team, everyone has discussed that even if they lead by four goals, Napoli will have to go all out in this second leg, because they still have one goal - to help Chen Yingxing score more goals.
The 4-0 win in the first leg with Lyon now gives the team the peace of mind to concentrate on doing this, without having to think about the team's results first.

Pierre seems to know that his team has no hope of qualifying, but he still has one thing he can do...... Prevent Chen Yingying from using Leon as the target of the goal.
So this game was unexpected by everyone, Lyon did not raise the banner of attack at home and made a last effort to advance to the quarterfinals.
From the first minute of the game, they shrank into their own half and put on a bucket formation.
Many commentators and reporters were surprised.
Of course, it was Mazari who was most surprised.
He didn't expect Lyon to give up hope of advancing to the quarterfinals and go all out. What they are doing with all their might, Mazzari also knows very well, they just don't want Lyon to become a stepping stone for Chen Yingying's top scorer to defend his title......
Damn it...... He couldn't help but curse in his heart.
Originally, he thought that Lyon would definitely press out in this game, and there would be a lot of space in the backline. This is a rare game in which Chen Yingying can score goals. The further back you go, the more difficult the game becomes, and it's not easy to think about such crazy goals.
Using this game to brush up on the score, maybe Chen Yingying is only two or three goals away from the top, so it will not be so difficult to chase later.
Who would have thought that Leon would give up the hope of advancing and go all out to stop Chen Yingying......

On the pitch, Hamsik tried to pass the ball through, but he couldn't kick the ball under his feet when he lifted his foot, because there were so many people in front of him that there was no gap that could be exploited.
Lyon retreated with all the players and completely gave up the attack, which is a look of "Lao Tzu has been eliminated from the game anyway, and you must not be allowed to continue to score goals with Lao Tzu".
Chen Yingying was in the forbidden area, surrounded by people, and he felt as if he was completely submerged in it......
If you insist on passing through, you will definitely be cut off by the opponent, and even if you barely receive the ball, you will not be able to shoot and score.
In desperation, Hamsik turned and passed the ball to the centre-back Ranocchia.
This return pass is a microcosm of Napoli, who are at a loss for what to do in the face of Lyon's shrinking defence.
Until the end of the first half, the score was 0:0.
Chen Yingying did not score.

"Look, I'll just say, it's impossible for him to maintain such a crazy state, a hat-trick in one game is already amazing, does he still want to score a hat-trick in every game?"
At halftime, various TV stations were doing first-half analysis, and Chen Yingying's performance was naturally the focus of discussion.
In the forty-five minutes of the first half, Chen Yingying did not score, and not only that, but there was not even a threatening shot on goal, which gave those pesky critics something to say.
"This first half is actually real and credible, and this Chen Yingying is normal."
"The hero's crazy performance in the first leg was largely due to Napoli's home game, plus his absence from the entire six group games. That hat-trick has unleashed all his passion and form......"
Of course, there are also people who ridicule Lyon: "If Messi is elected the top scorer in the end, he should thank the most people not his teammates, but Lyon's players and Lyon's coach Pierre." ”
Chinese television is also worried about Chen: "I think Napoli have to make adjustments in the second half, if they can't break down Lyon's dense defence, then Chen Yingying won't be able to score......"

Meanwhile, in the Napoli dressing room, complaints were being made difficult for Lyon to score.
That's when manager Mazzari walked in.
"Alright, guys. Stop complaining. We didn't expect Lyon to be so timid on their home turf! Mazzarri used the mockery of Lyon to boost the morale and confidence of the players, and when they encountered problems and difficulties away from home, the most feared thing was that the team would be discouraged. As long as this breath is not vented, it is easy to say anything.
Sure enough, the players laughed.
'Let's change the way we play in the second half. Is it hard to break down a dense defense? Maybe for other teams, but we have the ability! ”
This is not a "rhetoric" to boost morale.
Napoli do have the ability to break down dense defence because they have ...... A very, very powerful center, and such a center forward is the key to breaking down dense defenses.
The key to a dense defense is the word "dense", hoarding heavy troops near the penalty area to form a numerical advantage locally, while shrinking the space and not giving the opponent space to facilitate their passing and running.
So how do you break down a dense defense?
A strong center forward, he must first be physically strong, so that he can withstand the impact and interference from those strong central defenders in the crowded penalty area, and control the football in such a situation, as long as it can be controlled, the opponent's defense will become a mouse, so that it is possible to create a killing chance, and at the same time can disrupt the opponent's defense.
In addition to having a strong enough body, he also has to have a certain skill on his feet, otherwise it will be useless if he can't hold the ball.
He'd better also have a decent scoring ability – as a centre-forward, you can't always expect to get the attention of the opposition and pass the ball to your teammates to score goals, right? In addition to being able to withstand the pressure of defense and be able to control the ball, and then be able to shoot and score, what is the use of the opponent hoarding multiple soldiers in the penalty area?
In fact, wide crosses are one of the best ways to break down dense defenses, provided that you have a center forward in your team who is very good at heading, otherwise it is just a matter of letting the opposing centre-backs brush up the header data.
As it happens, Napoli has a center forward with the number one header in football today......

After the start of the second half, when the commentators and commentators were still debating whether Chen Yingxing's game was normal or out of shape, and whether he could make a difference in the 45 minutes of the second half, the game had changed somewhat.
'Napoli have stepped up their attack on the flanks......,' the Sky Sports commentator was the first to notice.
"They're going to ......" followed by ESPN's commentary.
"Hero - Header!!" In the roar of the Italian commentator, Chen Yingying jumped high and still grabbed the header with a person apart.
It's a pity that there is one person next to him, which affects the quality of the header, not to mention that there are people in the back who interfere with him.
The ball was eventually deflected off by Chen and did not threaten the goal guarded by Lloris.
However, after the Napoli players saw Chen Yingying's header, they had the bottom in their hearts - what the manager said at halftime was really right, just play like this, we will definitely be able to win!

ps, Leon doesn't want to be a stepping stone, and we don't want to be a stepping stone for too many people on the *** list, so I beg everyone to vote!
