Time quickly came to the ten minutes before the game.

Players from both sides entered the field, the head coaches of both sides exchanged greetings on the sidelines, and then the referee presided over the activities such as choosing sides.

After all these processes were completed, the referee blew the whistle to start the game.

After the game started, Mateo, who had returned from injury, was very active.

In particular, he was not afraid of competing for headers, which made De Zerbi feel relieved.

You know, injuries not only affect the players' bodies, but also their psychology.

Mateo, who had just experienced a concussion, is likely to be afraid of competing, which is also human nature.

But he found that Mateo was not affected at all, which made him look at Mateo more highly.

And Ancelotti naturally focused on Mateo's defense. He told Koulibaly to lock his opponent in this game.

Koulibaly is also a very good central defender. Now he is at the peak of his career. Naples chairman De Laurentiis even revealed that he had rejected the 100 million euro offer from the Premier League last summer.

Although De Laurentiis may be a boaster, he is undoubtedly a top defender in Serie A.

He also knows Matteo's weaknesses, so he will use his body to constantly create confrontations for Matteo, making it impossible for him to receive the ball comfortably.

When Matteo actively wants the ball, he will occasionally give him a hidden force, which makes Matteo's passes deviate a certain amount.

In the 17th minute, when Matteo received the backcourt pass, he was hit by Koulibaly from behind, which made him stagger and failed to stop the ball, so Albiol took the opportunity to intercept the ball.

This made Ancelotti on the sidelines very satisfied.

However, Matteo's adjustment ability also exceeded his expectations. After suffering several losses, he immediately adjusted his strategy and stopped being a traditional pillar center, but instead made more interspersed runs and cooperated with his teammates on the ground.

Koulibaly had no choice but to keep running with him.

You have to know that the defense is always passive compared to the offense, so this will eventually expose Koulibaly's flaws.

In the 31st minute, Parma intercepted the ball in the midfield.

After McAllister got the ball, he dribbled the ball, shook off Zielinski's pressing, and then rushed forward with the ball!

At this time, Mateo, who had been running horizontally at a constant speed, suddenly accelerated and turned around to cut into the penalty area!

McAllister did not hesitate to see this, and directly sent a straight pass to the direction of his running.

Koulibaly was a step slower, but he still blocked the inside line and prevented Mateo from going to the middle of the penalty area.

According to his plan, even if Mateo received the ball, he could only be forced to the bottom line by him, and this attack would not pose any major threat.

But Mateo's next move made him feel like he was falling into an ice cave!

After receiving the ball, Mateo did not choose to carry it to the bottom line, but suddenly stepped on the ball backwards!

Gervinho, who cut in from the left side, just received the football!

He led the ball horizontally and left Haisay behind him!

Albiol also found this gap at this time, and he hurried forward to fill the position.

But before he filled the position, Gervinho had already chosen to shoot!

He knew that he had only such a moment of shooting opportunity, and he did not hesitate!

Although his shooting level has always been not very reassuring, this time the shot was completed very well!

The football stuck to the grass and went straight to the lower right corner of the goal!

Ospina hurriedly went to the ground to save, but it was a little short after all!

The football hit the goal heavily!

One to zero, Parma took the lead at home!

Although this ball was scored by Gervinho, the magic stroke of this attack was the heel pass given by Mateo!

He made the best choice to break the game in a flash!

After scoring, Gervinho immediately found Mateo and thanked him.

Mateo responded to his hug, but his eyes were cast towards Koulibaly, who looked incredulous.

To be fair, Mateo hated this Senegalese man.

Because this guy once made some inappropriate remarks against the Eastern power on social media, which made the Chinese people quite dissatisfied with him.

Of course, he has not made inappropriate remarks in this time and space, but Mateo knows what kind of person he is, so he feels uncomfortable when he sees him.

Part of his fighting spirit in this game also comes from competing with him.

And this time, he used his creativity to help the team score a goal, which naturally made him very happy.

Ancelotti on the sidelines couldn't help scratching his face with his little finger.One disobedient eyebrow was higher than the other, showing that he was a little depressed.

He didn't expect that Mateo could handle this ball like this. Although he was an opponent, he also felt that this ball was really exquisite.

Huang Jianxiang in the studio was also incredible: "Matteo Lucarelli shocked us again. His imagination of this ball was simply off the charts, and he immediately disintegrated Naples' defense!"

Susi also said: "Sometimes I really can't imagine that he is only seventeen years old. His handling of the ball is terrifyingly mature. Whether it is shooting or passing, it is top-notch. I don't know how much effort he has put in to practice this skill."

Huang Jianxiang said: "In fact, I asked my Italian friends about Mateo's growth trajectory two days ago. He started as a central defender..."

Susi was stunned and couldn't believe his ears.

At this time, the field had already started again. Naples naturally had to start strengthening its offense and wanted to equalize the score as soon as possible.

But Parma still took a very radical approach to confront them head-on, and the scene became very intense for a while.

Koulibaly directly stuck to Mateo. He felt that he had been defeated by Mateo for a while, so he vowed to completely lock him in the next game.

However, Mateo is definitely not so easy to be locked!

He kept choosing to retreat in the next game, just to pull out Koulibaly, the strongest point of the defense line, to create opportunities for other teammates to break through and advance.

In the 44th minute, Rossi intercepted the ball in the midfield.

He saw Mateo, who retreated to the midfield, asking for the ball, and he passed the ball to him without hesitation.

Mateo directly pushed the ball sideways after receiving the ball, and then half-turned and took the ball one step, and sent a straight pass before Koulibaly pressed up!

And Gervinho had used his speed to diagonally insert into the space behind Koulibaly!

Hysaj and Albiol went to cover the gap at the same time, but Gervinho took the opportunity to pass the ball to McAllister who was advancing.

McAllister had no defenders in front of him at this time. He dribbled the ball to the penalty area line, faced Ospina who was attacking, and gently pushed the ball into the goal of Naples!
