Chapter 426
After scoring the goal, Jesus ran to the stands of Naples fans, stretched his right hand to his mouth and made a gesture of making a phone call.
This is his usual move to celebrate a goal.
The ball just now fully demonstrated Jesus' ability as a No. 9 player, and Bradaric's cross was also extremely accurate, sending the ball to the shooter's eyes just right.
The two aces of Naples scored a goal shortly after they came on the field, which made the coach Inle breathe a sigh of relief.
Conceding the ball before really underestimated Empoli, but once he used his full strength, the opponent was also vulnerable.
However, Inle still intends to score two more goals to overtake his opponent. He doesn't want to waste his strength for the dispensable Coppa Italia. Serie A is their highlight.
Some people are happy while others are sad. On Empoli's side, Ranocchia put his hand on his forehead and began to feel troubled.
He didn't know how to turn the situation around, so he had to let the players play more conservatively in the next game.
When the ball was kicked off again, Empoli's attack was still sent from Yue Feng's left.
At this moment, the morale of Naples, backed by Jesus and Bradaric, soared, and Yue Feng took a lot of effort to pass Ranon and Elmas who came to intercept them.
But in this way, the rhythm of the wing attack slowed down, and the ball passed by Yue Feng to Stefano was once again destroyed by the opponent's central defender Luperto.
This time Empoli failed to get a corner kick. The Naples goalkeeper got the ball first and passed it to the left winger Bradaric.
Facing Bradaric, Uchida Maren bit the bullet and rushed forward.
But the difference in strength between the two is indeed huge. To deal with this first-tier star, Uchida Maren is powerless.
But Empoli was also prepared. Beside the Uchida Centaur, the right midfielder Siredi and the right center back Simon also surrounded him instantly.
Bradaric glanced at Empoli's defensive arrangement, sneered secretly, then made a fake move to shake the Uchida Centaur, and then passed the ball to the goal at a 45-degree angle.
This time Bradaric didn't go to the bottom, and suddenly a long pass came over and caught Luka and the others by surprise.
The point-grabbing master Jesus quickly started, stretching his legs and stabbing his teammate's pass into Empoli's goal.
2-2!
It was these two Naples aces again, scoring another goal in almost the same way, abruptly reversing the situation of two goals behind.
This may be the strength of the ace player.
Yue Feng frowned tightly, the current situation was very unfavorable to his side.
The right side was beaten like a sieve, and the two forwards, Mateucci and Stefano, were also closely watched by the opponent's defenders, making it difficult to play an offensive role.
Empoli's offensive and defensive ends are restrained, and it will collapse sooner or later.
After finally reaching the end of the first half and barely defending the tie, Yue Feng and the others retreated to the locker room, waiting for the next tactical arrangement of head coach Ranocchia.
"We can't kick it, we can't kick it at all." The right midfielder Siredi was dejected and took the lead in complaining.
In his opinion, facing the powerful Naples, his side has no chance of winning.
"Don't say such frustrating words! There is no hurdle that cannot be avoided on the court. Do you want us to surrender without a fight?"
Captain Luca stood up and refuted his teammates' remarks, "He is nothing special about Naples. Let's compress the defense in the second half and we will definitely be able to defend them."
"Yes, what the captain said is right, let's not be afraid of them, and when I score another goal in the second half, it's not certain who will win!" Mateucci echoed.
"Yes, victory must belong to us!"
"Come on, Empoli!"
The other players also shouted loudly.
As a tough guy, Luka is still the spiritual pillar of the team at critical moments.
Even though he himself was abused by Jesus in the first half, he didn't fear the opponent at all.
Looking at the players full of fighting spirit, the head coach Ranocchia was very proud, but when he looked at the tactical board again, he felt a headache.
Not being afraid of your opponent doesn't mean you will be able to beat your opponent.
Empoli got off to a good start, but with the appearance of Naples' two aces, their powerful attack power immediately completely destroyed the advantages established by Yue Feng and others.
How to guard the right?How can Jesus defend?Ranocchia has nothing to do.
Watching the head coach standing in front of the tactical board and scratching his head, Yue Feng stood up from the chair, "Coach, I want to change positions with You Lei in the second half, and I will play the left center back."
"Oh?" Ranocchia, who was struggling with no thoughts, was refreshed when he heard Yue Feng speak.
He knew that this Huaguo player was very insightful in tactics, so he asked, "Yue, tell me what you think."
"According to the observation in the first half, the opponent's attack on our left is not threatening. Their wing back Ranon, central midfielder Elmas, Thomas and I can defend it alone."
"Now they are mainly attacking the right, we must also shift the focus of defense to the right."
"I will play the left center back, which can not only help the captain and them defend Jesus in the center, but also take care of the defense on the left."
After Yue Feng finished speaking, Ranocchia nodded.
Indeed, Yue Feng has one of the best defensive abilities in the team. It is definitely no problem for him to help defend Jesus.
But in this way, Yue Feng retracted from the position of the left wing back, and the left attack that Empoli relied on was gone.
After weighing the pros and cons, Ranocchia decided to do what Yue Feng said first.
After all, defense is the cornerstone of a team, what offense is there without defense?
"Okay, in the second half, you and You Lei switch positions. Everyone will do their best to defend first, and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack."
After all, Ranocchia faced all the players, gathered all the magnetic stickers on the tactical board into the penalty area, and arranged them like a bus.
The bus tactic is a method that a weak team has to use when facing a strong team.
At the beginning of the second half, Empoli shrank too much, and the penalty area was full.
Seeing this scene, Bradaric sneered at his opponent: "Do you think you can hold the bus? It's so naive."
Later, I saw Bradaric dribbling the ball and going down the right.
He did this in order to attract Empoli's defenders and tear their defense.
Secondly, he can also wait for the opportunity to make a cross, relying on Jesus' ability to grab points to disintegrate the opponent's bus.
However, when Bradaric went to the bottom, he found that Empoli's defense line had not loosened. Only Uchida Maren came out to intercept him, and the rest were still standing in the penalty area.
Bradaric was quite puzzled. He didn't know what the opponent thought. Did he plan to rely on this Japanese player to resist him?
But when he met Uchida Maren's eyes, he noticed that the opponent's firmness was completely different from that in the first half.
