"Is this the away game?"
Zinan is now standing on the San Elia Stadium in Cagliari. The surrounding stands are no longer the familiar sky blue. But a dazzling white snow. That’s the color of Cagliari’s home jersey. Here it is. Qina could no longer hear cheers and exclamations. Only endless boos. Every time he gets the ball. The harsh boos will ring. Playing football in the boos of 40 thousand people. This is an experience that Qinan has never had before.
Cagliari, founded in 1920, is the only first-class team in Sardinia, Italy. After decades of campaign, Cagliari team gained a foothold in Serie A from the 64-65 season; The 69-70 season was the first time in history to win the league championship. But this is the only championship they have won. Cagliari’s performance in the European War is also not ideal. The best result is to reach the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup. After that year, because the team’s financial resources could not compete with the teams in northern Italy, its record declined all the way. In the 1996-97 season, it finally won the third place from the bottom with 34 games, 9 wins, 10 draws and 15 losses, and was relegated with teams such as Perugia, Verona and Reggina. Since then, the team has been sinking into the second division. In the 2003-04 season, under the leadership of veteran Zola, Cagliari returned to Serie A after seven years. After returning to Serie A, Cagliari still has to fight for relegation every season. Last season, he successfully relegated under the leadership of young Italian coach Zhan Paolo. But this season, last season’s relegation hero Zhan Paul went out to Siena. The team invited the little-known Allegot. The team also didn’t bring in any big-name players. The strength may be lower than last season. The first round of the season. They lost 4-0 to Juventus.
Napoli just won Sampdoria 4-1 in the last round. This comparison. All the media and experts believe that Naples will win easily away from home. Most of the bets made by major gambling companies are optimistic about Naples’ away win.
But after 90 minutes, the result of the game surprised people who paid attention to the game. The underdog Cagliari actually beat Naples at home. The final score was one to zero.
The course of the game made Napoli coach Rhea almost laugh and cry. Allegot used the 5-3-2 iron barrel array that Rhea used to be good at, which just made Neapolitans helpless. Then in the 80 th minute, I used a mistake from Naples to counterattack the sneak attack.
Do the same to him. If Rhea knew the Murong family of Gusu in Jin Yong’s martial arts. I’m sure I’ll think that Allegot participated in the training class opened by Murong Family. Looking at other people’s children, they vaguely have their own appearance. Rhea doesn’t know whether to be happy or sad.
However, Napoli’s problem is not just Cagliari’s defense. Their own attack has also caused great problems. Just like constipation, you can’t just blame the gravity of the earth for not being strong enough. The ultimate reason must be something wrong with your own digestive system.
The ball control rate of Naples reached 69% in the whole game. The number of shots is twelve to five. The number of straight shots is four to two. Naples is much better than Cagliari in terms of scene. But the power is not divided. It can be seen from the number of correct shots. How bad the Neapolitan’s aim is. Twelve shots only hit four times. The reason for this is that Napoli’s shots are mostly long-range shots. Many of them were done in a hurry.
A large part of the reason why Napoli’s attack is so chaotic is the loss of Qinan in this game. Cagliari’s iron bucket array left Qinan with no room for breakthrough. Moreover, Allegot sent Parola and Kong Di, the old Serie A players with excellent defensive ability in the team, to form a pair of backyards to keep an eye on him. Another reason that makes Qinan uncomfortable is the atmosphere of the away game. Although Qinan’s Qi-nourishing kung fu is good enough. But facing such a situation for the first time, there is still no way to put all my heart into the game. In the second half, Qinan gradually adapted to the atmosphere of the game, but time was running out. Without the thread of Qinan, Lavezzi and Dennis are like two 70-year-old people. Even if there is a needle eye as big as a goal, they can’t put the needle called "football" in.
The defeat of Naples made the media who hated them finally find a reason to criticize them aboveboard. All kinds of ugly voices are pouring in.
Gazzetta dello Sport: Naples was beaten back to prototype. The main contents are summarized as follows: The great victory in the first round of the league made Naples people think that they are already giants like Inter Milan and AC Milan. But Cagliari told them. You are far from qualified to be a strong team. Now Naples is at best a second-rate team in Italy.
Italy’s largest sports newspaper, Sports Daily, is more aimed at Zinan. Santo Tomnica did not come to Cagliari. Qinan, who was in a low state, was criticized by them. The article said that compared with the radiant Domenica at home, the performance of Domenica away from home can be described as disappearing. After leaving Sao Paulo Stadium, Dominica became no different from ordinary players. Just like the "patron saint" who left the "temple", he lost his powerful magic. Maybe he is really only fit to be the patron saint of Naples. Instead of leading the Neapolitans to open up their borders. "Sports Daily" even suggested that Dommonica should just play at home in the future.
Even the media in Naples and China have to admit that the young Dominica (Zinan) is the same as the young Naples. There is still a long way to go before maturity. Naples football has a long way to go if it wants to stand in the forefront of Serie A again.
Head coach Rhea was annoyed at the team’s defeat. But he didn’t care too much. He even said that he was secretly pleased. This defeat can make all members of the team know clearly the correct positioning of their team. We are not a strong team yet. Just a growing team. After the first big victory, some players, especially some young players, unconsciously became arrogant. This game can also sober them up.
Amid criticism from the Italian media, Naples has embarked on the journey of away games. They will play two away games in a row. This time, the opponent will be Udinese, who is better than Cagliari by more than one grade. Because of the poor performance of the previous away game. This time, the media decided that Naples would definitely lose the game. Will the result of the game be as they imagined? Maybe only God knows.

Chapter 113-Dennis’s goal
Dines team was founded in 1896, which is the origin. It is the oldest club in Serie A at present, but it is a pity that the team has not won a championship trophy in major domestic events. Udinese Club is an expert in exploring and evaluating the value of young talented players in the transfer market. The club has always adhered to the principle of small-scale experience, buying low and selling high, and keeping the club healthy. In 2004/05, Udinese won the fourth place in the league and reached the European Champions Cup. Compared with four years ago, this season’s lineup is not inferior, but there are more fresh blood.
Head coach marino’s coaching style is mainly offensive football. This is rare in Serie A, which advocates defense. 3-4-3, his favorite formation. Under his command, Udinese’s game scene was full of passion. Therefore, it is also very popular with fans. Udinese’s staffing also provides him with a good space to display his talents.
Udinese has a luxurious front line. Dinatale, the main striker, was selected for the Italian national team. Played in the 2008 European Cup with the team. Quagliarella, the main striker of Italian national youth team. And the top scorer in the team. These two years have witnessed rapid growth. Frollo Flores. Floro Flores, trained in Naples, attracted much attention when he made his debut, and was regarded as a gifted teenager. However, he encountered some twists and turns on the road of growing up. It was not until these two years ago that he found the feeling of scoring goals in arezzo. Serie B scored 28 goals in two seasons, and Flores, 24, gradually matured. I came to Udinese last season and gradually became the main force. This striker is marino’s trump card. Last season, the Trident scored almost 70% of the team’s total goals.
Udinese’s crazy attack at home has made countless strong teams hate and return. Rhea had to change the array to deal with it. When the names of the starting players from both sides came out, to Udinese’s surprise, Naples put their Domenica in the position of the back. This happened in the Moreti Cup when Napoli played against Inter Milan. They don’t care too much.
However, in this game, Rhea didn’t let Cannavaro and Qinan partner in the double back, but Hamsik instead. Rhea once tried to form a double back with Hamsik and Qinan in training. The effect of unexpected discovery is surprisingly good. Hamsik has both offensive and defensive skills, but it is needless to say that Qina. The combination of two people’s back and waist should have a body and speed. When attacking, two people can be protected by one person. Advance can attack, retreat can defend. The cooperation is perfect. Therefore, Rhea boldly launched this combination in this game. In order to expect to receive unexpected results in the official competition.
With the whistle of the referee on duty, the game began with the shouts of 50 thousand Udinese fans at the scene. As expected. Marino really showed his best 3-4-3 model: Handanovic /21- Zapototzini, 6- Koda, 2- Zapata /20- mesto, 11- Pinnell, 5- Obodo /83- Fu. ~7- Quagliarella, 10-:
Naples is the new array of Rhea, 4-2-3-1- Lezzo /2- grava, 14- Rinaudo, 28- Cannavaro, 19- savigny /17- Hamsi-Lavezzi, gargano. 23- Marjorie /9- Dennis.
Qinan Station is in the position of the lower back, and the heart is calm. He has gradually got used to the atmosphere of the away game. This full-court booing can’t have much influence on him. There is no other player in this position, so he has enough time to organize the attack. His feelings are completely different from the last game against Cagliari. Although the atmosphere of the game is still tense enough, his mood has changed dramatically. He was a little anxious against Cagliari, but this game he was as calm as a piece of ice in the Antarctic (to quote a sentence that Rhea commented on Dommonica after the game).
After the opening, Udinese launched an attack without even making a test. marino’s team always treated their opponents equally, even if Inter Milan and Juventus came, so he treated them equally. Without saying anything. Come up with three axes first. Quite a Tang Dynasty Cheng Guogong Cheng Yaojin’s demeanor.
Udinese kicks off first. Quagliarella didn’t even pass the ball back to the backcourt. After receiving Dinatale’s cross ball, he took the ball to the hinterland where Naples was still full. Such contempt made the Neapolitan angry. Dennis, who had not run to his striker position recently, was a flying shovel and boasted.
Lalian people put the ball on the ground together. In this way, the action that should have been eaten has just begun. Just let Dennis go. Quagliarella didn’t back down without Dennis’s shovel. After the re-kick-off, Udinese held high the banner of attack, and Quagliarella and Flores cooperated one by one, crossing the defense line of Napoli midfield. Like a sharp knife to the heart of Naples. But Qinan and Hamsik are like two "heart protectors" in Naples. Together, they stopped Udinese bayonets from entering. JiNa quickly come forward to stick to Quagliarella, theory of height strength, two people almost, but in terms of speed, JiNa has the upper hand. Quagliarella made a change of direction to prepare for a breakthrough. While others were separated from the ball for a short time, Jina instantly appeared between Quagliarella and the ball like a flash of lightning, and got stuck in his forward line with his body. Quagliarella tried to cross Qinan, but failed. Qinan stood in front of him like a wall, and Hamsik decisively broke the ball that was out of Quagliarella’s control.
Hamsik broke the ball and organized a counterattack on the spot. He sent the ball to Marjorie’s feet on the right with a mid-range pass. Marjorie used his skills to run more than 20 meters on the right, and then made a cross at the bottom. Dennis headed the ball to the top, but it was a pity that the ball was too straight and was confiscated by Udinese goalkeeper Handanovic.
Handanovic kicked the ball directly to the middle circle, and gargano was completely at a disadvantage in the top race with Zapata. Gargano’s height of 1.68 meters only made him look at the ball and sigh. The height disadvantage of the midfield makes Napoli’s midfield defense suffer, but Rhea didn’t focus on the midfield originally. The role of three small midfielders is more for quick counterattack.
Zapata scored the ball and immediately divided it. The teammate Flores was waiting there. The Italian who came out of the youth training camp in Naples was very active today. At that time, he left in anger because he couldn’t play in the first team in Naples. He has been concerned about Serie B for the last two seasons, and he has never had a chance to play against his old master. Today he finally met him. Of course he wants to prove himself in front of his old master.
In the face of defending Hamsik, he is actually very jealous. The Slovak is only 22 years old, but he is already the core of Napoli midfield. He was only nineteen when he joined the first team. When Flores was 19 years old, he was still looking forward to his career in the Naples youth team.
—
I’m not worse than Hamsik! ! ! Flores growled in his mind. He crossed steps and tried to lure Hamsik out of the foot, but Hamsik, who had always been calm, didn’t fall for it. When Flores saw that the plan didn’t work, he planned to use his body to make a strong breakthrough. He accelerated his breakthrough from the right side of Hamsik, and Hamsik started a little slower than him, so he could only be overtaken by Flores. However, he quickly chased back and entangled Flores. The two are entangled like a pair of "intimate" lovers. However, Qinan didn’t give them a chance to stage Brokeback Mountain. He suddenly appeared in front of Flores, who was one-on-one with Hamsik, and snatched the ball. Leaving Flores standing there and sighing: God, what a fast speed.
While Udinese’s defense was shaky, Zinan made a long pass directly to Argentine Dennis. In the absence of interference, the error of Qinan’s long pass will generally not exceed one meter. This time, the Udinese players who are closest to Qinan are still more than ten meters away, so football falls to Dennis accurately without any suspense. Nicknamed "Tank", Dennis gripped the turf under his feet with "crawler" and leaned against Udinese central defender Koda who defended him with his strong body. Kodak only felt a strong force coming from the front. The Argentine’s strong body made him a little overwhelmed.
Argentines are strong, but extremely flexible. He turned around when he received the ball and wiped it into the restricted area. Koda tried to hold Dennis’s clothes without holding them. Dennis shook off Koda’s hand holding his clothes with his hand, adjusted his pace, pulled away his thigh, and concentrated all his strength on the right leg of the shot. The football seemed to blast into the door guarded by Udinese goalkeeper Handanovic with a white light. It was too close for Handanovic to raise his hand, and the ball was already lying in the net behind him. This makes his actions look like surrendering to Dennis. This scene was just caught by a Naples reporter on the sidelines. He published this photo with his article in his newspaper. The title is "Udinese surrenders".
The audience was silent, and no one thought that Udine’s "three axes" had not been finished, so he was knocked down by the Neapolitan sword.
Volume III
Chapter 114-Rescue on the Goal Line
After the ball, Dennis put his finger to his mouth, indicating that the provocative actions of Udinese fans aroused even greater boos from Udinese fans. But Dennis didn’t care. That’s what he wanted.
Dennis’s goal reminded Rhea of the former Argentine "God of War" batistuta, who often sent the ball into the opponent’s goal again and again in this way.
Same figure, same Argentine, same long hair fluttering. "New Batty" is on the road that its predecessors have taken. Rhea sighed in his heart that Naples with Domenica and Dennis might really bring a new atmosphere to Serie A..
