Chapter 129: Seven Inches
The game goes on, Edin? Cavani stood in the centre circle and looked at the guy who had just scored, the guy who had almost become his teammate before. Yes, you read that right, when He Xu had a falling out with Milan before. Napoli's scouts had a keen sense of smell to notice the young striker, and they made several contacts with Ho Xu, and it seemed to work well. But a few days later, He Xu held a press conference to announce that he had joined Inter Milan.
In the end, they regretted to pass by the striker who was very favored by the "football king" Maradona, if they really invited Lao Ma as a lobbyist, maybe He Xu is already a member of Napoli now......
The game continued, He Xu looked even more excited after scoring a goal, and threatened Napoli's defense with the ball several times, but the team's defense was not as weak as Bologna's, so several attacks were thunderous and rainy.
After He Xu received Sneijder's pass, a beautiful feint accelerated past Napoli's midfielder Maggio. Just as he was about to shoot hard, the second defender blocked it. At this time, He Xu showed his excellent reflexes and action rate, and quickly stretched out his right leg to push the ball to the side, dodging the second defender. He Xu had to rely on his strong body to withstand the opponent and then accelerate again, and the third defender caught up in time and cut off He Xu's slightly bigger ball.
This is the first time He Xu has really seen the chain defense that Italy is famous for. In fact, in the face of this kind of defense, the best solution is to pass, but He Xu didn't notice this.
Napoli quickly counter-attacked. A long pass, followed by a short pass. The ball was already at the feet of Cavani, who advanced quickly with the ball. After getting rid of Samuel, he directly got the chance to go alone!
Edinson Cavani himself was a little surprised that he didn't expect the backline that helped Inter Milan win the Champions League to become so fragile. This was something he hadn't noticed before, and he hadn't thought of it, and at this moment, just for a moment, Cavani felt a strong sense of confidence in his heart.
In fact, the problems of Inter's backline have long been discovered by many teams, and not every player is Zanetti. Lucio and Samuel, who have passed their peak age, are no longer the central defender combination that dominated Serie A back then, and problems such as slow movements and slow turns have inevitably arisen with the years. And McConn, who could still be called "the world's No. 1 right back", was completely blown out in the Champions League group stage by Bale the year after winning this title. Perhaps now in the back line of Inter Milan, only Yuto Nagatomo on the left side can barely meet the requirements.
The chasing McCone was completely unable to catch up with Cavani, who calmly opted to push into the bottom corner after winning a one-on-one shot.
Cesar made a pre-determined save before he could shoot. Although his age is not young. But as a diligent goalkeeper, his reaction was still fast enough, but unfortunately he was still a step slower, and the ball ended up grazing his fingertips. He also rolled out against the doorpost.
Benitez on the sidelines broke out in a cold sweat, he hurried to the sidelines, and shouted at the court: "Javier." You step back and wrap up that guy for me. Don't let Cavani get another chance! ”
Zanetti did so conscientiously back away and got involved with Cavani, who was a full thirteen years his junior.
At the end of the first half. Thanks to Cesar's magic and the help of the goalpost, the score remained 1-0. However, those who are interested can see that at the end of the break, many of Inter's defenders couldn't move their legs.
Cavani, who went on to become a world-class superstar striker, is now on his debut, and it seems that Zanetti looks embarrassed under his impact.
In the dressing room, Benitez was still praising the performance of his players, but he didn't know that the other side had made very targeted adjustments to their current situation.
What happens to a snake that bites its prey if it is caught by someone at seven inches?
If Inter Milan is like their symbol, a snake. So now, the snake's seven-inch, that is, the crappy defense, has been caught by Napoli.
He Xu sat next to Zanetti with a bottle of drink, looking at the captain who covered his face with a towel, he knew that the old captain must be tired, and after hesitating, He Xu still chose to be silent. Didn't speak.
Before the start of the second half, Benitez told He Xu to look for opportunities to pass the ball when facing the opponent's chain defense, and not to dribble all the time. He Xu nodded to indicate that he knew, but at the same time, he was also quite impulsive in his heart, I want to break through this so-called chain defense, I will definitely be able to do it.
Cavani tees the ball with Hamshik and after passing the ball to Hamshik, Cavani whistles softly and runs forward.
In the stands of Inter Milan, in the VIP box, is sitting the visiting Milan vice president Galliani. And the one who accompanied him was Massimo? Moratti! The two old foxes got together, and Galliani said with some jokingness: "Old friend, give us back this guy from China!" The price is good to say. ”
Moratti shook his head nervously, "No, we are still preparing to build a new Inter Milan in the future." In addition, I can also raise the team's profile in China and expand Inter Milan's market in China. Such a good player, you still want to go back? Stop dreaming! ”
As soon as his words fell, he saw He Xu in the field stumble and fall to the ground, and the ball was naturally lost. He Xu, who fell to the ground, sat up and raised his arms high, shouting loudly, but the referee signaled for the game to continue.
Galliani smiled and reached out and knocked on the table where the coffee was placed, "Oh, such a good player, it seems that he can't adapt to the defensive intensity of Italy!" ”
Rao is a very deep Moratti, and he also felt that the smile on his face became a little stiff. This stinky boy is really angry. But it seems that He Xu is not the only one who is not angry.
After a mockery, Galliani continued to watch the game. Napoli counter-attacked with a long pass from Maggio and Hamsik's header was deflected to Cavani's feet.
Zanetti, who was entangled with Cavani, pressed against him tightly, and Moratti looked at this scene and muttered in a low voice, "I want to get rid of Javier so simply, don't dream, young man!" ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw Cavani top Zanetti, and then accelerated, obviously to eat, Zanetti's speed in all aspects was still very fast, but at the moment when he turned around, he actually fell to the ground with a soft foot! Cavani Breakout!
This time Galliani continued: "Oops! This dreaming young man is amazing! ”
Moratti shut his mouth in embarrassment this time, and then thought that he should talk to Benitez and the strength and conditioning coach, what happened to these players in this game?
After getting rid of Zanetti, Cavani once again faced Lucio and Samuel as the three players from South America but from each of the three countries faced each other in a triangle. Cavani had no intention of fighting, and after shaking his shoulder, he flicked the ball outward with the outside of his right foot and shot directly on the spot!
At the moment when he got up to shoot, Samuel was in a position that blocked Cesar's view, and the ball spun and arced towards the goal. By the time Cesar made the save, it was too late, and this time, God didn't favor him, and the ball hit the inside of the right-hand post and bounced into the goal.
There was silence, followed by a roar of cheers from the Napoli fans. The commentary on the scene didn't seem to be expected, but she still recited in a very professional voice: "In the fifty-fifth minute, Napoli scored. The scorer, Edin? Cavani. Score situation, 1-1 draw! ”
Massimo sitting in the box? Moratti's old face instantly turned the color of pig liver, a draw, even if it was a loss, it didn't matter. But how did the team drop the chain so much in front of Galliani?! It looks like the end-of-season bonuses of these bastards must be reduced!
From breaking the ball, to long passes, to headers, to the crumbling of Inter's backline. In just five seconds, Napoli used a classic tactic from Inter's glory days to simply and brutally smash the ball into the Nerazzurri's goal.
Annoyed by the unexpected goal-loss, Cesar shouted at the defenders, "Hey! Hey! Hey! Cheer up! The game is not over, there are still 35 minutes left! Are you asleep?! ”
At this time, Zanetti, who had just fallen, finally raised his hand and signaled that a doctor was needed. Inter's two team doctors rushed up and they carried Zanetti, who was cramping, down. After two minutes of processing, the fourth official held up the sign, and Zanetti went off the field and replaced him with Thiago? Motta.
Motta, who is also no longer young, is still more or less physically superior, and his defense looks good after coming on the field. It's a pity that Inter Milan's offense has not improved in He Xu's solo fight, and He Xu's fighting spirit is gradually being worn out, you never know how the next defender will appear after you pass a person, this feeling is a little too exciting......
After Zanetti went off, Cavani and Hamshik took turns to dribble the ball to the right side of the middle guarded by Lucio. Under this situation, Inter Milan, who had the advantage in the opening game, looked a little overwhelmed, and Benitez, who was thinking about how to win a few more goals at first, was so frightened by Napoli's counterattack that he couldn't breathe. Staring straight at the playing field, looking at the time from time to time.
When He Xu once again lost the ball under the sandwich of three people, the referee unceremoniously blew the whistle for the end of the game. Inter Milan drew 1-1 at home to Napoli......
However, what is even more terrifying than this is that their seven inches seem to be infinitely magnified in this game and exposed to the eyes of some people with a heart. (To be continued......)
