Chapter 412 The end of the first half

Naples is focused on scoring first at home, and this has been the consensus of everyone since before the game.

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

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

So when the goal was conceded, the hellish Sao Paulo Stadium suddenly became much quieter. Everyone stared dumbfounded at the football in their goal, and didn't care to make any noise.

Although this embarrassing silence lasted only 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 mental capacity seem to see the end of the world.

A second later, the Naples fans realized that it was Gao Zheng who scored the goal! Let him score at our home court, is that okay? Brethren, boo him! Boo him!

Then there was deafening boos at the San Paolo Stadium.

In this storm-like booing, the St. Paul Stadium has a bit of a "hell" feeling.

It's just that Gao Zheng didn't care about these harmless sonic attacks at all.

After celebrating the goal with his teammates, he did not forget to wave to the Sampdoria fans who followed the team to cheer for the team away. People, but surrounded by tens of thousands of Naples fans, they still continue to make their own voices.

It's just that there were too few of them after all, and all their voices were drowned out. But even so, they are still relentlessly making their voices heard.

Gao Zheng couldn't hear their shouts, but Gao Zheng could see them waving their arms in unison, which was exactly the same as when they were at home. So you only need to see this set of movements to know what they are shouting and singing.

For Gao Zheng, although he couldn't hear the sound, he could hear the singing and cheers of the Sampdoria fans just by looking at it.

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

Judging from the actions of those fans, they also responded to Gao Zheng excitedly. It's just that amidst the loud boos, Gao Zheng couldn't hear what they said at all.

But that doesn't matter.

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

"Sampdoria leads Naples with a total score of 4:2, and the situation has become unfavorable for Naples..." Caresa said. "Before the game, no one really thought that there would be such a situation. Everyone thought that with the strength of Naples, if they went all out and played at home, it would not be a problem to lead Sampdoria... Now that I think about it, this kind of thinking itself is a kind of A show of pride and underestimation of the enemy?"

"Naples really underestimated the enemy..." Bergomi nodded in agreement with Caresa's opinion, and made a severe criticism of Naples. "This is a bit like the performance of Sampdoria after the first half of the last round. But Sampdoria was still leading by two goals at the time. What capital does Naples have to underestimate the enemy?"

※※※

After conceding the ball, Naples played very badly, made frequent active mistakes, and faced Sampdoria's offense very embarrassingly.

The Naples fans who watched it during this period were terrified.

Fortunately, this chaotic situation did not last long.

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

And Sampdoria's adjustments were also very fast. Seeing that Naples began to slow down, they stopped attacking fiercely, but recovered and started a defensive counterattack again.

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

The game returned to the previous situation where Naples attacked and Sampdoria defended.

But there is still a slight difference from before-Napoli no longer presses the whole line when attacking, but always maintains a complete line of defense behind, just to avoid the situation just now from happening again. But doing so will make their offensive strength insufficient, especially the lack of assists from the two full-backs, which makes Naples' offense lack layers.

It stands to reason that Gao Zheng is a center forward and only needs to arrange two central defenders behind him.

However, after repeated research on Gao Zheng's scoring videos, it will be found that he will not stay in the middle area obediently. Two central defenders are not enough to defend Gao Zheng.

Coupled with the fact that Berardi and Zaza are fast and determined to advance forward, only two central defenders may face the embarrassing situation of playing more with less.

However, Benitez did not intend to let his team continue to play like this. Crashed.

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 Naples is stable? Of course, the harassment of the goal has decreased, and Sampdoria's counterattack threat has decreased.

※※※

Gao Zheng stood at the 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 came for him.

He could also guess what Benitez was planning.

It would be great if I could hold all four of these people here by myself and prevent them from attacking.

Unfortunately, this situation cannot continue forever.

After all, Naples is two goals behind, and it is impossible not to strengthen their offense all the time.

And all he can do is try to delay Naples' crazy counterattack as much as possible.

※※※

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

"Gao is really good, let him bring the football out despite two Napoli defenders following him at every step! Listen to the boos at the San Paolo stadium, it's all for him! But to be able to get this The booing shows that he is the player in Sampdoria who can pose the biggest threat to Naples..."

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

"Albiol fouled Gao, and the referee awarded a free kick in the frontcourt! The booing at the San Paolo Stadium was much louder. It seems that everyone knows that Gao has the ability to score free kicks..."

The Naples fans were very upset watching the game. They were two goals behind and hoped that the team could get it back as soon as possible. As a result, because of Gao Zheng, the team was unable to fully devote themselves to the offense, and the offensive threat could not be raised. At the same time, their defense had to be wary of Gao Zheng.

Every time they saw Gao Zheng take the ball, they were terrified.

Because Gao Zheng is not the kind of center forward who is less threatening the farther the goal is, he is a striker who is capable of threatening the goal no matter where he is.

And even if he is far away from the goal and can't score directly, he will fall if he touches it!

The referee also fouled Naples and gave Sampdoria a free kick. All fools know that Gao Zheng has the ability to score from free kicks...

Such a person, just ask if you are afraid of Naples?

So Naples couldn't fully devote themselves to the offense until the end of the first half.

Naturally, the score has not been changed.

When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, the score was still 1:0, with Sampdoria leading away.

"There are only forty-five minutes left, and Naples is going to chase two goals in a row. It stands to reason that it is not very rare to score two goals in half a game, but after watching the first half, I believe many people will wonder whether Naples can win in the second half. Concerned about scoring two goals..." Caresa said.

"And it's not just whether Naples can score two goals, Naples can score, Sampdoria can also score..." Bergomi added. "Although it is really not beneficial to play first home and then away, but on the other hand, as long as Sampdoria score in this game, it is an away goal. They already have an away goal. If they score another goal, Naples' two The away-goals advantage suddenly disappeared..."
