Chapter 224: Finding That Way (First Update, Asking for a Monthly Pass!) )

It's easy to shout slogans, but it's even harder to put them into action.

After all, this is an away game.

Old Trafford's name "Theatre of Dreams" is for Manchester United players, and it's not a good place for visitors.

The noise from the stands from 60,000 United fans is enough to make any visiting team feel a lot of pressure here.

It's just that the people who came here today are different from other teams.

Napoli have the reasons and belief that they have to win.

If Real Madrid had won the game yesterday and qualified for the final, then perhaps Napoli would not have been so strong.

It is precisely because Barcelona entered the final that the fire of hatred of the whole Napoli team burned, and ten fire brigades could not be extinguished.

The enemy is in front, waiting at Wembley Stadium, how can they lose before the final finish line?

Not to mention that it is Manchester United that stands in front of them, even if it is the whole world that stands in their way, they have to break through!

The world can't stop the Neapolitan revenge!

Eliminated us by that means, do you think this is the end of the matter?

This shame has not been forgotten every minute and every second!

※※※

Manchester United are indeed intent on smashing at their own home stadium and Napoli's defensive counter-attack is also in Ferguson's plans.

So when Napoli held on, Ferguson wasn't surprised. Now that the opponent has made up his mind to defend and counterattack...... Then Ferguson is not in a hurry.

Manchester United only need one goal anyway to knock out Napoli by away goals. He wanted to see who could be more patient than whom.

Manchester United are not in a hurry and are slowly maneuvering with Napoli at home.

And Napoli is not in a hurry in the face of Manchester United, and it is also very calm, as if it is not in a hurry than Manchester United.

In fact, this is exactly what Mazzari is hoping to achieve.

Use Napoli to make this gesture to slow down the pace of the attack. This will make the pressure on the team's defense a little less.

Maybe you can concede the ball as late as possible.

He analysed it carefully and the first half 0-0 Manchester United should have been acceptable. And 0:0 in the first half was also a good thing for Napoli.

So the entire first half was played 0:0 under this "tacit understanding" between the two sides.

"Maybe it's the game that is more important, it's a matter of life and death between the two teams, so whether it's the home team Manchester United or the away team Napoli, both sides play very conservatively. As a result, the first half of this game was not very exciting, and it could even be said to be a bit boring...... This is understandable, after all, it is an important competition such as the Champions League semi-finals, and it is directly related to who will reach the final in the end...... But! He Ping changed his words. For us Chinese fans who stayed up late, or got up in the middle of the night to watch the game, this dull first half was too disappointing, the pace of the game was slow, there were no exciting scenes, everyone must have watched it drowsy......"

"I think I suddenly understood Mazzari's ......arrangement," the commentator said in Italy, seeing a close-up of Mazzari on television. In the TV screen, Mazzari had a smile on his face, and it was clear that he was happy with this first half. "For Napoli, even if the game is 0:0, they will qualify (). So he had absolutely no reason to be in a hurry. But Manchester United is different...... They need a goal. I don't know what Ferguson thinks, but the first half was such a waste of time and attacking chances, and it really shouldn't be ......."

※※※

In fact, Ferguson was already aware of the problem. He discovers Mazari's tricks and inadvertently falls into Mazari's elaborate trap!

This made him very angry.

He has been in European football for more than 20 years, but he was tricked by a young student.

In the second half, you can't grind like this with Napoli, you have to attack! Attack vigorously!

Mazzarri had this in mind, so at half-time he reminded everyone to pay special attention to United's attacking efforts in the second half.

'Forty-five minutes on the clock, lads, I want to congratulate you on a great first half, not allowing United to score, so that the initiative is still in our hands. But in the second half, it won't be as easy as the first. You have to be ready, especially at the back. In the second half we were under pressure several times as much as in the first half! ”

Mazzal's face was serious, and everyone realized the seriousness of the matter.

"It's a battle of wills, lads. Our strength is not inferior to theirs. But this is their home turf and they could pull off miracles at any time...... So no matter what happens, you must not waver, hold your ground! At the same time, we need to be sharper in our counterattack. ”

Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Chen Yingying.

As the endpoint and bridgehead of the team's attack, Chen Yingying's task is also quite heavy. In the first half, because both sides were mainly playing in the midfield, there was nothing wrong with Chen Yingying.

But the second half was different. Whether it is for the purpose of scoring goals or to reduce the pressure on the defense, Napoli's attack must improve, and in this case, Chen Yingying's task is naturally heavy ().

When Chen Yingying saw the head coach looking at him, he stood up and waved his fist downward: "Don't worry, sir." Manchester United must die! ”

There was a burst of laughter in the locker room.

Mazari couldn't help but laugh either.

This Chen Yingying is really a living treasure.

※※※

When the second half of the game started and the two sides were back on the pitch. Even those who don't know the ball can see that Manchester United have stepped up their attack.

The happiest people are, of course, the Manchester United fans.

Amid the wild shouts of the home fans, Manchester United launched wave after wave of attacks into the Napoli penalty area, like a raging wave.

The Italian commentator was worried about the current situation in Naples.

"Rooney's shot-" he exclaimed, and although it was De Sanctis who eventually took the ball off, he still said with trepidation: "Napoli can't always be beaten like this, for a long time...... I'm afraid I can't hold it. ”

※※※

Of course, Naples knows this.

They need timing, though.

Chen Yingying has withdrawn again and again, and this position has been withdrawn to the middle circle.

But he still kept running, looking for and waiting for an opportunity. He remembered what Raul had said to him in the last round. A good goalscorer can create chances to score even if he doesn't have a chance. Always counting on the support of teammates, that's what the incompetent think.

His thoughts and actions are also a microcosm of the whole of Naples.

It's really not good, it's a tough situation, Manchester United's attack is fierce. However, no one in the Napoli team gave up and wavered.

I have to say that the power of revenge is so strong that it supports them, even if they are constantly thrown up and down by the wind and waves, the small boat of Naples is still not completely sunk, and often after a wave has passed, they find that they break out from under the water again!

The words of manager Mazzari at half-time rang in everyone's hearts.

"Remember, boys. Manchester United only need one goal to put us in a desperate situation. But in the same way, we only need one goal to send Manchester United to hell! So we don't go for the number of goals, I only go for the quality! A ball! It only takes one ball to break them! Especially near the end of the game......"

Yes, with just one goal, Napoli will have a complete advantage.

The aggregate score will then be 3-1, with Napoli leading by two goals and cancelling out Manchester United's away goal. If Manchester United want to qualify, they must at least make it 2-1 and drag the game into extra time, otherwise...... It's no fun. And as long as Napoli score another goal, the difficulty of Manchester United is not as simple as scoring another goal at all, but multiplies.

※※※

Twenty minutes into the second half, the score was still 0:0. In these 20 minutes, Napoli experienced many, many dangerous scenes, and the whole Napoli team was defending with an eye-catching awareness, except for using their hands, they did not hesitate to use any part of their body to stop Manchester United's shot.

Even the England commentator had to admit: "This Napoli team is really tenacious......"

And as the 0-0 score continued for longer and longer, Manchester United's players became more and more irritable.

However, behind the gradual increase in the number of Napoli's counterattacks, the quality has also improved ().

There is already a faint threat to Manchester United's defence......

In the 67th minute, Mazzarri replaced Raul with Cassano, so that Napoli's attacking lineup was Chen Yingying in the middle, Arshavin on the right, Cassano on the left, Sanchez on the right midfield, Hamsik on the left wing, and then De Jong in the middle.

This line-up is clearly better suited to counter-attacking than Raul on the left.

Mazari is going to exert his strength.

※※※

After Cassano came on, Napoli counter-attacked more and naturally more threatening. Of course, Manchester United has also made targeted adjustments, they also pay attention to defense when attacking, and will not let Chen Yingying, Cassano and others easily get a chance to go alone.

If Napoli now has fewer attacking counterattacks, even if they are counterattacks, due to the increase in the number of people invested and the strengthening of Manchester United's defense, it looks more like a positional battle......

The game went on until the eightieth minute, the score was still 0-0, and Ferguson couldn't sit still, he got up from his seat and stood on the sidelines, frowning and chewing gum.

It only takes one goal...... A goal!

※※※

In the eighty-fourth minute, Napoli had a strange counter-attack like that.

By the time Napoli pushed the ball into the 30-metre zone, United had already had a number of players in defence in place, with a number of defenders in their positions, while Anderson and Gibson were also back in their positions.

On the other hand, on the Napoli side, there is Hamsik who is holding the ball, and Sanchez on the wing is running in the direction of the bottom line, and at the same time raising his hand to signal Hamsik to pass the ball to him.

In order to make room for him, Arshavin moved himself to the middle. Of course, did this soon occupy Chen Yingxing's space? So he's not really going to come to the middle, he's targeting the ribs.

Cassano, like Sanchez, is on the wing, but he is always ready to burst into the box in search of opportunities to meet his team-mates.

What about Manchester United? Evans and Vidic firmly entangled Chen Yingying, who was at the front.

Right-back Rafael. Da Silva was pulled very far by Cassano, just stuck in Cassano's route. If Cassano were to cut inside, he would be able to deal with it right away.

On the other side, Patrice Evra was in the middle of the line, and the pressure on his defence was a little bit higher as Arshavin and Alexis Sanchez were attacking at the same time.

He can't just look at Sanchez or just Arshavin, so he's in the middle of the flanks and the flanks so that both sides can get there in time.

Anderson was on top of Hamsik with the ball, while Gibson was ready to support him in the middle.

Now Hamsik is facing such a situation, this is definitely not a "counterattack", this has become a positional war.

He couldn't have let the ball stay under his feet for too long, and the rest of the United players weren't just wooden stakes standing in front of him.

They have to find a way out before they can go back to defence and find a way, a way to goals and wins, a way to Wembley Stadium.

So what should Hamsik do?
