Chapter 41: The First Half (First Update)
Believe it ()! Unbelievable! ”
"Oh God! What did I watch?! ”
“goooooooooooooooooool——()!!”
"It's incredible! Napoli took the lead away from home – but it's not that, it's the ...... It was Chen Yingying who scored the goal, and the way he scored the goal was...... A direct free kick more than 30 meters from the goal! ”
"What? Chen Yingying scored a direct free kick? And more than 30 meters from the goal!? You must have been surprised when you heard this, right? Yes, I am as surprised as you are! ”
……
When Chen Yingying scored, the commentators went crazy. They couldn't believe what they were seeing.
Because this matter is indeed a bit beyond their understanding - Chen Yingying is not good at shooting free kicks, this is a well-known thing, and he has never been seen to shoot a free kick before.
So when Chen Yingying stood in front of the football and was about to take a free kick, everyone was surprised. Inter fans were even more relieved.
Who would have thought that football would be bombarded by Chen Yingying!
After the goal, Chen Yingying looked very excited!
In fact, whether this goal can be scored or not, he didn't have any score before, he just suddenly became interested and wanted to try it. After all, the free kick was so far away, and the opponent didn't take it seriously, so he felt that it was no different from the long-range shooting practice in training......
So he kicked according to what he did, but he didn't expect to really get in!
Chen Yingying no longer needs to run to Mourinho and lift his jersey to remind the other party of who he is.
He ran to the sideline with open arms, and then came a swooping landing in celebration.
He was then crushed by his teammates who were also swooping down.
The Meazza Stadium resounded with the cheers of the Napoli fans ().
Of course, the larger Inter Milan fans immediately booed, drowning out the Napoli fans......

"Oooo Nice direct free kick! Nice powerful direct free kick! Chen Yingxing!! Liu Jianhong was very excited. Every time Chen Yingying scores, he will be very excited - in China, his evaluation as a commentator is not high, and his commentary on other games is also lifeless, and some people have even summarized the sentence he said the most when commenting on the Chinese team's game: "There is not much time left for the Chinese team!" ”
But commenting on Chen Yingying's game, he swept away the hypnotic style that could never wake up, and he didn't know why. It is said that it is because Chen Yingying is a Chinese player, and his compatriot makes him feel patriotic...... But the Chinese national team is playing eleven of his compatriots, and I haven't seen him anything.
But whatever the reason, it's always a good thing to explain it yourself - what he didn't know was that in St. Petersburg, Russia, there was also a commentator who changed his style because of Chen Yingying.
At this moment, Hilgeevsky was yelling into the microphone: "Ying-Xiong-hero!" Heroes Heroes Heroes Heroes Heroes !! His powerful long-range free-kick flew straight into the back of the net! It's beautiful! ”
The Italian Football League is also broadcast in Russia, so fans in St. Petersburg can watch Serie A matches every weekend. However, after all, they are still not comparable to the Chinese fans, because not every weekend TV broadcasts the Napoli game, and more often when they broadcast the top three in the north......
In today's game, it was precisely because Napoli's opponent was Inter Milan that they were able to see Chen Yingying again.
※※※
The Napoli players were celebrating, and the Inter Milan players were generally not looking good.
They didn't expect to concede the ball in such a way ().
Cesar knelt on the ground, turned his head to look at the ball in the net, and opened his arms, very helpless.
But these players combined, I am afraid that none of them have a bad face of Mourinho alone.
His bad face is not entirely because Chen Yingying scored the goal, but more because the team is behind and there is one less man......
This is the root cause of his bad face.
The first half of the game was not over yet, and he was missing a central defender and was still behind in the score. This up and down game...... It's hard to fight!
As early as when Lucio was sent off, he had already asked Zivo to warm up.
Who are you going to replace?
Defensively, you can't move, you can only sacrifice the offense......
※※※
While Mourinho was struggling to see who to change and who not to replace, Mazzari next door was celebrating with his colleagues.
"I think I'm going to train the heroes from a free kick from today!" Assistant coach Viviani chanted excitedly.
It's not really that Chen Yingying wants to practice free kicks, it's just a way to express his excitement......
But Mazari thought it might be a good idea......
Chen Yingying's shooting power is so great, he has seen it in training. The goalkeeper tried to hug him directly, but he was knocked out of his hand, and it was not a matter of one or two times. However, in the actual game, there is rarely a time when he can use his shooting power without interference.
Maybe you can really try it?
※※※
Three minutes after the restart, Inter Milan finally made a substitution.
Jose Mourinho replaces Samuel Eto'o with Zivo.
Didn't change Diego. Milito, because Milito has been in good form lately, and Mourinho also wants to use his form to score a goal in front of him or something. As for Eto'o...... So far, he hasn't found his form, although the return defense is quite positive, but now the team needs not to return to defense, but to attack!
On his home turf, Mourinho is not conservative.
In fact, it is impossible for him to be conservative if he wants to be conservative - one goal behind, how can he be conservative? Do you have to accept the fact that you lost at home?
Never!
※※※
Many people always think that one more person than the other party seems to be a big advantage, but in fact? In a game, it is not always possible to feel the numerical advantage. Because the side with a small number of people will always choose to recycle the defense, first stabilize the defense, and then wait for the opportunity to counterattack.
This is the case with Jose Mourinho and Inter Milan today.
Although they fell behind in the score, they did not rush to counterattack, but replaced a defender, removed a striker, and strengthened the defense first. Stabilize the defence, which has one less centre-back.
Napoli had also intended to use their numerical advantage to step up their attack and try to extend the score before the end of the first half.
But Inter opted to shrink defensively.
Jose Mourinho's request to his players is that they can't concede any more goals until the end of the first half.
As for the equaliser, or even overtaking at home, leave it to the second half ().
Mourinho was very confident about his adjustment at half-time.
He always has a small notebook on him, and most of the time, in the first half of the game, TV viewers can always see what Mourinho is writing in the notebook.
That is to record the results he observed based on the first half of the game, and then at half-time, he will make targeted adjustments based on those results. For example, the opponent's wing attack is very sharp, so at halftime I asked the team to take advantage of the space behind them after the side pressed. In this way, the opposing full-backs should naturally not be pressed, so that their own wing defense crisis has also been solved.
Trailing by just one goal, it wasn't the end of the world for Jose Mourinho, and with his excellent adjustment at half-time, he was confident the second half would turn things around.
Inter Milan's contraction, Napoli's attack thundered and rained - it seems that they have formed a formation to besiege Inter Milan, and the momentum is huge, but in fact? There weren't many shots that were really threatening.
Chen Yingying was even more caught in the other party's crowd, and there was no decent shooting opportunity.
As a result, until the end of the first half, Napoli did not extend the score as expected.
The score was still 0:1, and Inter Milan at home was behind.
However, judging from the reactions of the players on both sides when they left the stadium and the cheers of the Inter Milan fans in the stands, it seems that it is Inter Milan who has the upper hand......
Mazzari's face also looked grim, and he certainly knew that Mourinho would use the break to make adjustments, so what would his team do in the second half?
Chen Yingying didn't think about it so much, and his face was full of light-hearted smiles when he left the game.
In the first half, he had a goal anyway, and it was a direct free-kick that he had never scored before. He has every reason to be happy and satisfied with his performance.
The manager's troubles are not his, they don't affect his emotions.
"The first half is over. It was a shame that Napoli were not able to extend their lead in the first half. However, for the Chinese fans, the hero scored a very beautiful direct free kick in the game, which was enough to make us feel satisfied...... In the second half, let's continue to look forward to his wonderful performance! ”
Liu Jianhong said before the end of the broadcast of the first half.
"Chen Yingying said last season that he was going to beat the defending champions twice, and in the first 45 minutes of this game, he gave himself a good start to that goal...... "The Italian commentator also believes that Napoli, Chen Yingxing's performance is excellent, no matter what trouble Napoli will have in the second half, Chen Yingying is the undisputed best player for Napoli.

Mourinho met a frustrated Lucio in the dressing room, and he knew very well that because of his momentary hot-headedness, his team fell into the dilemma of playing more with less early. What made him feel even more painful was that his team had also conceded the ball because of this foul - he definitely didn't expect Chen Yingying to be able to blast the football into it so far away, otherwise he would rather not foul it......
He had expected Mourinho to yell at him and scold him.
Not really.
Mourinho just patted him on the shoulder: "Don't take it personally, Lucimar (Lucimar's real name). It was just an accident. ”
Mourinho's actions immediately swept away the tension that had permeated the Inter dressing room.
After comforting Lucio, Mourinho slapped his face, then he raised his voice and said, "All right, gentlemen. I'm sorry we were one goal down in the first half and one man less. But don't forget that this is our home turf, so don't get down, let's try to beat them! ”
