Chapter 373: Think of Barry

Mazzari was right, in fact, after Candreva created a one-on-one goal, many Napoli players have broken down psychologically.

They thought about the results of their previous meetings with Lazio.

No matter how hard they tried, it was Lazio who won in the end. This time...... Isn't it an exception?

When Candreva sent the ball into the Napoli goal without any suspense, the Napoli players had only one thought in their hearts: "Oh my God! They're going to score again! What are we going to do?! ”

It's not easy to score one goal against Lazio, and now they have conceded a goal, so to take the lead means they have to score two goals.

It's even harder!

The bleak future has nothing to do with it, making the Napoli players seem to have little fighting spirit......

It's human nature, and no one likes to play a game that is doomed.

※※※

When Candreva scored, not only the Napoli players, but also the Napoli fans were shocked.

They watched the Lazio players as they raced to celebrate their goals and fell into a brief silence.

They were thinking to themselves – is this really a player who hasn't played a minute in a month?

So why are they in such good shape?

Look at the goal just conceded, Candreva's turn to break through, bold and careful! Can a stateless person do it?!

The commentators also have such doubts.

Everyone was amazed by Lazio's lead and at Candreva's goal.

"Unbelievable state! Candreva's turnaround breakthrough is beautiful! ”

"Lazio are ahead of Napoli in the game! But the goal doesn't tell the whole story, and what is more important is the control that Lazio showed in the game...... In fact, even before this goal, Lazio had already gained the upper hand in the game. It's just that this advantage doesn't translate into a winning ......"

"Some people say that this Lazio team is not in good form and I don't see any signs of that...... The form of these players is nothing short of hot! Look no further than Candreva! The breakthrough just now is cool! The perfect combination of imagination and skill! I would never believe that a player who is not in good form can make such a move! ”

※※※

While everyone around him jumped up and cheered for the team's lead, Chang Sheng just slapped his face and then sat back in the dugout.

He's sure the players understand their situation.

This is a game they are sure to win. Chang Sheng will not be half a point lax in his requirements for results because he has changed the lineup.

So this goal, he took it for granted, there was nothing to surprise and celebrate.

Of course. Candreva's goal will give Lazio a little easier to play in the upcoming games.

This is an objective fact.

After the restart, Lazio's morale was high, and they rushed forward in full swing, bombarding the Napoli half.

Napoli, on the other hand, looked a little absent-minded.

They don't know what to do anymore.

Are we attacking or defending?

The offense will concede more goals and the defense will lose......

It seems that something is wrong.

In addition, before the game, they thought that Lazio looked down on them and sent a group of players who were not in good shape, but in actual combat, they found that they were even more powerful than them!

This huge gap between expectations and reality has left the Napoli players feeling confused.

The confusion is manifested in the lack of offensive strength on the court, and there are holes everywhere when defending. Casually allowing Lazio to score into the 30-metre zone to form a dangerous shot.

Finally before the end of the first half. Lazio scored another goal. This time it was Hernanes' long-range shot.

2:0!

The first half was not over yet, and Lazio had already ended the suspense of the game.

※※※

Mazari stood on the sidelines, head bowed. With his hands in his pockets, he was helpless.

He suddenly remembered something. There was a game that was very similar to today's game.

Just last season, Lazio played in the group stage of the Champions League, but almost lost to a team that has been unknown on the road, and finally only won 4:3.

At that time, some media said that Lazio was going to encounter a crisis, even such a weak team won so hard, and some people wanted to fish in troubled waters and win Lazio when Lazio was not in good shape......

After the game, Chang Sheng was furious, and he wanted to punish these players.

So Lazio faced Barry in the next round of the league, and it was still this group of players who played, and their mental outlook was completely different from that of Pisa in the Champions League.

In the end, Lazio poured 13 goals into Bari's home stadium and beat Bari with a score of 13-0, which broke all Italian records.

How similar is this to this game?

Mazari couldn't help but shudder at the thought of Barry's fate.

In the second half, we must not continue to play like this!

Now is not the time to think about whether he can beat Lazio, he should seriously think about whether he can lose a few fewer goals in this game......

He didn't want Napoli to become a second Bari.

If that's the case, I'm afraid I'll have to take the blame and resign......

※※※

Mazzari adjusted his tactics at half-time.

He told the bewildered Napoli players that they would stick to it in the second half.

"Don't think about attacking, let's defend to the death!" That's what he said to the players.

There may be players who think that their manager will admit defeat so bluntly and surrender too much.

Mazari immediately mentioned a name, and they immediately stopped thinking so.

"Don't forget the tragedy of Bari, I don't think any of you scored thirteen goals in a game against Lazio, right?"

Sure enough, everyone's expressions were awe-inspiring.

The Barry tragedy is still recounted over and over again.

Tell everyone - don't get angry with the constant wins, don't look down on the Lazio squad that doesn't seem to be strong, they may be better than the strongest team!

Mazari moved Barry out. Everyone has no temper at all.

Honestly accepted the manager's arrangement.

At the start of the second half, the Napoli players realised just how far-sighted their manager was......

Because in the second half, Lazio's attack did not weaken in the slightest because they were already two goals ahead.

On the contrary, even crazier!

Look at their stance. It seems that Napoli will not stop without scoring ten goals.

If they continue to be in the same mess as they were in the first half, or if they are delusional about equalising, they will only concede more goals in the second half!

Once they were completely devastated, they were really scored thirteen goals. It's not impossible......

As soon as they thought of this, the Napoli players broke out in a cold sweat behind their backs.

So in the second half, when they defended, they worked harder.

In addition, they have a new understanding of Chang Sheng's ruthlessness, and many people have quite a lot of complaints and slander.

※※※

In fact, Napoli's players have won unjustly.

This is really not a winning arrangement.

Or at least Chang Sheng didn't directly tell his players that they were going to do it in the second half.

He commented on the first half at half-time, but he didn't say anything like "I'm happy" or "I'm satisfied".

Lazio's players saw the danger in his somewhat cold attitude – they didn't know if the boss was really happy with their performance.

Or does he think they could have behaved better?

But if the boss doesn't say it, they can only guess for themselves.

I guessed and guessed, and I couldn't guess it.

Case. Then the safest thing to do is to keep attacking. Keep scoring goals. When there are more goals, the boss should not find any reason to punish them, right?

They also thought of Barry.

So they used the Barry game as a reference and launched a fierce attack on the Napoli goal.

It's just that Napoli's strength is still much stronger than Bari's.

And at halftime. Mazzari was quick to make adjustments to make it clear to the Napoli players what to do.

There was also an important reason for that, Napoli conceded only two goals in the first half.

This has not completely broken the fighting spirit of the Napoli players.

Barry conceded five goals in the first half...... Completely stunned Barry.

Conceding just two goals is acceptable for Napoli. The mood of the players is also quite stable.

So in the second half, despite Lazio's desperate attack, they didn't really score a dozen goals against Napoli.

Of course, Lazio didn't get nothing.

They still scored a goal in the second half.

There were also two shots on goal that hit the woodwork.

Another time the door was slid out.

If they are lucky, Lazio can win this game by six goals.

Now, it's only 3:0......

Look, Lazio won by three goals, which can only be said to be "talented", as if it was not satisfactory.

But in reality, the result is already good for the vast majority of teams.

Even if it is a giant team such as Barcelona and Real Madrid, it is worth celebrating if they can win the opponent 3:0.

But look at the Lazio players, when the game is over, they look blank, dull, and a little depressed.

Many people who watched it were more depressed than them - Damn, you all won by three goals against your opponent, this is called a complete victory, and you are not satisfied? What else are you not satisfied with!

Not satisfied because I didn't score more goals.

They are afraid that their boss will not be satisfied.

Many people secretly glanced at the boss and saw that the boss was smiling at them.

What a boulder in my heart...... That's when it fell to the ground!

※※※

In his post-match press conference, Chang Sheng spoke about the team's performance: "Even though they haven't played a competitive game for a month, I'm glad their form hasn't suffered. ”

Mazzal's team became a foil for the players who had learned the lessons from the victory, but Mazzarri could not tell.

Who makes himself inferior to others?

Everyone is not the strongest lineup, and they lost a 0:3, what face do they have to say about the rest?

All he could say was: "Our luck is not good......

Yes, it was really bad luck to come across such a Lazio. It's like Barry.

But compared to Barry, their luck was good enough......
