Chapter 412 End of the first half

Napoli is determined to score first at home, and this has been agreed upon since before the game.

So whether it is pre-match publicity or game performance, Naples is very aggressive.

In their minds, I'm afraid they never thought that they would concede the goal first at home...

So when the ball was lost, the hellish Sao Paulo Stadium suddenly became much quieter. Everyone stared at the football in their goal in a daze, and didn't bother to make any sound.

Although this embarrassing silence lasted only for a second, it was actually very short, but in the hearts of many Naples fans, it seemed as long as a century had passed.

Some people with poor psychological endurance seem to see the end of the world.

A second later, the fans of Naples realized that the person who scored the goal was Gao Zheng! He asked him to score the goal at our home court, what if that's wrong? Brothers, shit him! Shake him to death!

So a deafening boo sounded at the St. Paul Stadium.

Amid this storm-like booing, the St. Paul Stadium feels a bit "hell".

It’s just that Gao Zheng doesn’t care about these unthreatening sound attacks.

After celebrating the goal with his teammates, he still waved to the Sampdoria fans who followed the team to cheer for the team away. They were only a few hundred people in the corner of the stands, but they were still making their voices surrounded by tens of thousands of Naples fans.

But after all, they were too few people, and all the sounds they made were drowned. But despite this, they were still making their voices unremittingly.

Gao Zheng couldn't hear their shouts, but Gao Zheng could see their neatly waving their arms, which was exactly the same as their actions at home. So just by seeing this set of movements, you would know what they were shouting and singing.

For Gao Zheng, although he couldn't hear the sound, he could just take a look and the singing and cheers of Sampdoria fans in his ears.

He waved to the fans who insisted on coming with the team and thanked them for their support.

Judging from the actions of the fans, they also responded to Gao Zheng excitedly. However, amid the huge boo, Gao Zheng could not hear what they said.

But that doesn't matter.

After celebrating the goal, Gao Zheng turned around and walked slowly back to the half with his teammates. Yes, they used to walk, and they didn't walk fast, just like taking a walk after dinner.

"Sampdoria is leading Napoli with a total score of 4:2, and the situation becomes unfavorable to Napoli..." Caresa said. "No one expected such a situation before the game. Everyone thinks that with Napoli's strength and doing his best to play at home, it would be no problem to lead Sampdoria... Now, this idea itself is a sign of pride and underestimating the enemy?"

"Naples is indeed underestimating the enemy..." Bergomi nodded in agreement with Carresa's view and made severe criticism of Napoli. "This is a bit like Sampdoria's performance after the first half in the last round. However, Sampdoria was still leading two goals at the time. What capital does Napoli have to underestimate the enemy?"

※※※

After conceding the ball, Naples played badly, made frequent proactive mistakes, and was very embarrassed to face Sampdoria's attack.

The fans of Naples watched this period were frightened.

Fortunately, this chaos did not last long.

After six minutes, Naples gradually stabilized and they did not give Sampdoria too many opportunities.

Sampdoria's adjustment was also very fast. Seeing that Naples began to slow down, they stopped attacking and attacking hard, but reclaimed and launched a defensive counterattack again.

Anyway, the total score is now leading by two goals, so there is no need to worry Sampdoria.

The game returned to the previous situation of Napoli offense and Sampdoria's defense.

But there is still a little bit of a slight difference from before. When Napoli attacks, they no longer press the entire line, but always maintain a complete defense line behind them, in order to avoid the situation just now happening again. However, doing so will make their offensive strength insufficient, especially the lack of assists from two full-backs, making Napoli's offense lacking levels.

Logically speaking, Gao Zheng is a center forward, and only two central defenders are needed to be arranged behind.

But repeatedly studying Gao Zheng's goal video will reveal that he will not stay in the middle area honestly. He will constantly change positions, sometimes in the middle, sometimes in the wing, and has extremely strong personal abilities, so if only two central defenders are allowed to defend Gao Zheng, it is not enough.

In addition, Berardi and Zaza are in a fast and resolute way forward, leaving only two central defenders to face the embarrassing situation of playing with less and more.

However, Benitez did not intend to keep his team playing like this. This was just a temporary measure. After all, the team had just lost the ball and had to stabilize the situation first. If he lost another goal in a short period of time, it would completely collapse.

In Benitez's vision, as long as Naples can stabilize as soon as possible, he can push the two full-backs up again.

So how do you judge that Napoli has stabilized? Of course, the harassment received by the goal has decreased, and Sampdoria's threat to counterattack has decreased.

※※※

Gao Zheng stood in front of the team with his hands on his hips, looking at the four Naples players in front of him.

He knew that these four people were all for him.

He could also guess Benitez's plan.

If only he could keep all four of them here and not let them attack them, that would be great.

But unfortunately, this situation cannot continue.

After all, Napoli is two goals behind, so it is impossible for them to not strengthen their attacks.

All he could do was to try to make such a crazy counterattack from Naples come later.

※※※

"Gao! He completed a very threatening long shot! Forced Reina to make a wonderful save, and Sampdoria won a corner kick! This is the first corner kick Sampdoria won in this game..."

"Gao is really amazing. Although there are two Naples defensive players following him in an endless step, he still asked him to bring the football out! Listen to the booing at the Sao Paulo Stadium, all of which are given to him! But being able to get such booing means that he is the player in Sampdoria who can pose the greatest threat to Naples..."

"Gao is in very good shape today. He is very active in the frontcourt. As long as he gets the ball, it will be difficult for Napoli players to snatch the football from his feet..."

"Albiol fouled against Gao, and the referee awarded a free kick in the frontcourt! The booed at Sao Paulo Stadium a lot louder. It seems that everyone knows that Gao has the ability to score a free kick..."

The game made Naples fans very upset. They were originally two goals behind, but they hoped that the team could get back as soon as possible. As a result, the team was unable to devote all their efforts to the offense because of Gao Zheng, and could not raise the threat of offense. At the same time, their defense line must be on guard against Gao Zheng.

Every time they see Gao Zheng pick up the ball, they are frightened.

Because Gao Zheng is not the kind of center forward who has the farther the goal, the smaller the threat. He is a forward who has the ability to threaten the goal no matter where he is.

And even if he stays away from the goal and cannot score directly, he will fall down as soon as he touches it!

The referee also ordered Napoli to foul and gave Sampdoria a free kick. The fool knew that Gao Zheng had the ability to score a free kick...

Such a person, I would like to ask you if Naples is afraid?

So Napoli could not devote all his strength to the offense until the end of the first half.

The scores were naturally not changed.

When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, the score was still 1:0, and Sampdoria, who played away, led the way.

"There are only 45 minutes left, and Napoli will have to chase two goals in a row. It is not uncommon to score two goals in the half game, but after watching the first half, I believe many people will be worried about whether Napoli can score two goals in the second half..." Carresa said.
Chapter completed!
