Chapter 413 Naples' counterattack
During the halftime break, Napoli fans were also discussing this issue, but more Napoli fans were relatively optimistic, believing that as long as Napoli can score a goal, the situation will completely turn to Napoli.
"The key is to score a goal!"
"Yes, yes, yes, you need to score a goal!"
"As long as we can continue to put pressure on them, we can definitely score a goal!"
"I think the five minutes of the game are the key. The opponent is not ready during this period. If we can make good use of it, there is a high chance of scoring goals!"
"Everyone is bragging about that Chinese, but in my opinion, Higuain is not worse than him at all!"
"Yes, Pipita just needs a chance..."
Naples fans were happily chatting with beer, and they were still optimistic about the second half.
Moretti and his companions came out of the toilet and heard the voices of Naples fans from afar.
He sneered in his heart: Are you still daydreaming?
However, he did not take the initiative to provoke Naples fans. In this city where gangsters are rampant, ordinary people should be honest and not cause unnecessary trouble.
He lowered his head, shrank his neck and quickly returned to his stands with his companions, and then took off his coat, revealing the white Sampdoria jersey inside.
"Naples fans are still looking forward to defeating us in the second half..." His companions obviously heard the words of Naples fans and said to the Sampdoria fans who stayed in the stands, with a tone of ridicule and disdain.
Everyone laughed: "Let them dream!"
It looks very relaxed.
But in fact, Sampdoria fans have not always been so relaxed.
Before this game, they were also worried.
Sampdoria, who was worried about only one goal ahead and allowed the opponent to score two away goals, would capsize when she came to the Sao Paulo Stadium.
Worrying that the fanatical home atmosphere at St. Paul's Stadium will cause trouble for your team.
However, after watching the first half, such worries had disappeared.
The team is very tenacious when defending, not at all like the first leg.
In addition, Gao Zheng is very active and active, and he can see that he is in good condition.
These two positive factors have led to everyone's mood now.
In their opinion, Naples fans pretend to smile and say some self-deception to comfort themselves.
But they are different, they are really relieved.
Forty-five minutes have passed, and as long as Sampdoria doesn't suddenly get disconnected in collective condition again, there will be no problem.
The mistake of being proud of the enemy has been made once in the first round, and we should not make it again no matter what. After all, there are home factors to make mistakes in the first round, and this time it is a away game. What's the point of underestimating the enemy?
In fact, in Sampdoria's locker room, what coach Di Francesco said most was to constantly remind the players not to relax in the second half.
"Although we are leading two goals, in fact, from leading two goals to not leading in a short time... Everyone should know about the first round game, so I don't need to say more. I don't want us to make the first round mistake again, so we will all be called idiot by the media and fans. Does anyone want to be called idiot?"
Everyone shook their heads and joked that no one liked being called that.
"So, I gritted my teeth in the second half, don't relax! When the game starts, the pressure we are under will definitely be very high, and we have to withstand this period. Except for high, we can be ahead, everyone must return to their own position to defend. The ball must be handled cleanly and decisively, and don't think about counterattacking at this time, just kick the football out quickly... And as time goes by, if we don't lose the ball, Naples will definitely become more and more impatient, and then it will be our chance to counterattack..."
Di Francisco said in detail, telling everyone when they should defend and when they should fight back.
It’s not that he is very advanced, but mainly because the situation is better than others.
The current situation is that Sampdoria has the lead with two goals. After surviving the first half, it will only be forty-five minutes for Napoli.
The one who is anxious is definitely not Sampdoria, so they just need to do their current affairs well and don’t need to consider any adjustments.
Napoli is not able to do it. Benitez filled the tactical blackboard during the halftime break and told his players how to move the wing, how to play in the middle, how to combine the wing and the middle, how to intersperse the running position in the front line, how to cut off the connection between Gao Zheng and other Sampdoria players in the middle and backcourt...
The fifteen-minute break is almost not enough.
Benitez is worthy of being a master of tactics. He talks very well and talks endlessly.
When he was about to go out, he said to his players with a serious expression: "Putting aside all the messy thoughts and remember that we need at least two goals, and the time is only forty-five minutes. So we don't have time to think about it and try our best to score goals. Only in this way can we go further, otherwise we will be eliminated at home!"
"I don't like it, I believe you guys are, so, so in the last forty-five minutes, come and play in the finals!"
Before the second half of the game started, the TV broadcast gave the head coach of Naples a close-up shot. Benitez in the camera stood on the sidelines with his arms and chests, with a very serious expression.
Seeing this, Caresa said: "There is only 45 minutes left for Naples. Not only do they have to chase two goals in a row, but they also have to hope that Sampdoria will not continue to score. Benitez's task is very heavy... I don't know what adjustments he made during the break..."
After the second half, as everyone could imagine, Naples launched a fierce attack on Sampdoria's goal.
Benitez's adjustment during the halftime break was still effective. Sampdoria was indeed a little uncomfortable when defending Napoli's offense. She performed very embarrassedly.
The Naples fans in the stands were also shouting and singing loudly, cheering for their teams, and creating huge psychological pressure on Sampdoria's players.
"Higuain! Wonderful shot! Unfortunately, it's a little bit off!"
"Calehon broke through the side and cut inside...Sampdoria could only take a foul! Obviously they felt a huge pressure..."
"Hamsik tried a long shot! Beautiful!!! Oh! Romero made a wonderful save!"
"Sampdoria was a little embarrassed during this period. Benitez's tactical adjustment was very successful... It seems that Sampdoria is in danger. If she continues to play like this, she might have to lose the ball..."
Di Francesco on the sidelines seemed very anxious and couldn't sit still on the coach's seat.
Benitez next to him didn't sit in the coaching seat, his expression was also a little anxious, but the difference in their mentality could be seen at a glance.
Di Francesco was afraid of losing the ball, and judging from his expression, he was unsure of whether his team could defend themselves.
Although Benitez was anxious, he was still very confident. He believed that as long as the team continued to play like this, he would definitely score a goal.
As long as you can score a goal, the situation will completely reverse.
The second half has just begun, and two goals were scored in 45 minutes. Judging from Naples' performance over the past period, it seems not so incredible...
So even the commentator Carresa changed his caliber, feeling that his judgment in the first half was wrong, and Benitez's adjustment in the second half was very effective.
Moretti snorted as he listened to the songs of Naples fans.
Naples fans must have seen hope of scoring, so they are so excited.
Sampdoria was indeed very passive during this period, but Moretti was not worried that he was not trying to calm down, but that he really didn't think it was a big deal.
Sampdoria is two goals ahead of Naples, and even if one is lost, it is still two.
At that time, Naples will further attack, and there will definitely be a lot of space behind them.
Moretti doesn't believe that Gao Zheng will turn a blind eye to this.
If you want to talk about why he is so confident, his confidence comes from his understanding of Gao Zheng.
So he turned his attention to the tall and thin figure who was at the front of the team.
That's hope.
At this moment, Naples's shot on the court was held in his arms by Romero.
Argentine goalkeeper who got up from the ground was very unhappy with the team being suppressed and played. He did not want to be the busiest person in the game at all. Although that would often make him appear in close-ups and slow-motion replays on TV, it also means that the team is always in danger.
He would rather do nothing in the whole game and the team won easily.
You can no longer let football stay in your half.
So this time he kicked the football high towards the frontcourt with his big feet and kicked the opponent's goal.
Chapter completed!
