Chapter 1 Eighty: The Battle of Tianwang Mountain
"Welcome everyone to come to the San Paolo Stadium with me. You are now watching Sina Sports' live broadcast of Serie A No. 20 round seven this season, Naples vs. Juventus at home. This game will be explained by Zhan Jun. "Uncle Zhan Jun said with a smile on camera.

Although he has stayed up for several nights to do live broadcast recently, his spirit is not haggard at all, but the deep dark circles left evidence of staying up late.

"This game was placed at the beginning of this round. The Italian Football Association should also want to use such a game where sparks hit the earth to kick off this round of Serie A. It is the night of March [-]st local time in Italy. Nine o'clock, of course, is more happy for our domestic fans, because tomorrow is Saturday, so even though it is already three o'clock in the morning, there are still many fans waiting in front of the screen waiting for the game."

"This game can be said to be the battle of Tianwangshan. Juventus, with 63 wins, three losses and three draws, is temporarily ranked first in the standings with 57 points; Naples has [-] wins, six draws and three losses with [-] points. Ranked second."

"Currently, Juventus leads Naples by six points. If they win this game away, they will see the difference to nine points. Although March has just begun, the gap of nine points is already very large. Unless Juventus in the later stage If you lose the chain yourself, otherwise Naples will be really rare to overtake the opponent."

"Of course, if the home team Naples wins, then they will directly reduce the point difference to three points. With eleven rounds to go in the league, the three-point gap is obviously not a problem, not to mention that Juventus still has the Champions League knockout round They must fight. Fighting on two fronts will definitely create some 'opportunities' for Naples who are chasing after them."

"Behind the standings are the Rossoneri AC Milan, which ranks third with 53 points, and Viola Fiorentina with [-] points, followed by the Roman duo of Lazio and Roma, and Wuji Baihomaru Udinese with the old captain Di Natale continues to play well and currently occupies the seventh position, but they are only two points away from the Roma duo in front of them. Then there is Catania and Inter Milan, which continues to be in a sluggish state. Inter Milan's performance this season is still Unsatisfactory, now there is news in Italy that Moratti intends to sell Inter Milan."

"At the other end of the standings, the white dolphins Pescara, Siena and Palermo are in deep relegation. But the Griffins Genoa and Juventus' city rivals Torino are not doing well either. Easy, they are only two points clear of the relegation zone."

"Okay, we now have the starting lineups for both sides. Naples at home: the goalkeeper is No. [-] goalkeeper De Sanctis, the defenders are Britos, Rolando, Campagnaro and Grava In the midfield, Macho, Donadell, the young teenager Insine, and Hamsik appeared in the front midfielder; the hot Uruguayan striker Cavani continued to start, and his partner was Pandev. "

"Juventus used a full substitute lineup in the last round of the league, so in this game they all played the main force. It seems that Conte valued this game when looking for it. The goalkeeper is the Italian national goalkeeper Buffon, and the defender is Buffon. Barzagli, Bonucci, and Uruguayan central defender Cáceres continue to replace Chiellini who was injured and did not play. Ghanaian Asamoah and Swiss Lisch Steiner serve as two offensive full-backs. It is a generation of master Pirlo, the intellectual core of the midfielder Vidal partnered with the Italian midfielder Marchisio. The starting lineup is the Montenegro center Vucinic and the Chinese teenager Li Zihan."

"Cavani's recent form is very hot. He has played 25 games in the league and now has scored 21 goals. He is currently ranked first in the scorer list. This is not his first season so hot. Now many European giants have taken a fancy to this Uruguayan striker. It is said that Real Madrid, Chelsea, and Arsenal are very close to him, but they don’t know if Arsenal can pay a lot of transfer fees and wages. Of course, Cavani of Liverpool team is also special. Favored, they hope to take Cavani and Suarez to form the Uruguayan national team striker partner of the Red Army."

"Speaking of strikers, our young player Li Zihan is currently a hot figure in Europe. The Premier League giants used to drool over this young teenager, but they don't know if Li Zihan's body can handle the high intensity now. of the Premier League."

The game started with Uncle Zhan Jun's chat, and Naples, who played at home, gave full play to their home court advantage from the very beginning.

Amidst the tsunami of cheers from the fans, Naples decisively launched an attack.

Donadyer gave the ball to the young Insine in the middle, and Insine was quite active.With a feint, he swayed away Li Zihan, who came up to press him. Although Li Zihan's progress can be described as rapid progress, his growth is still limited for his pitiful stealing talent.

Insine did not pass the ball out immediately after passing Li Zihan, but suddenly dribbled the ball to the side and actively avoided Vidal, who was fiercely defending in the middle.

Asamoah wanted to come up to press, but when he was about to reach the opponent, Insine suddenly passed the ball out.

The half-high ball came to the middle, and Hamsik stood on tiptoe and stopped the ball.Then he stepped on two bicycles to shake Marchisio away, but Marchisio was not fooled.

Seeing his good friend Cavani who retreated from the front, Hamsik directly gave the ball to the opponent, and then changed his direction to bypass Marchisio.

Cavani, with his back to the attacking direction, didn't turn around, in fact he couldn't turn around either.Bonucci stuck firmly to his back, he knew that if he turned around, the ball would probably be stabbed by the opponent.

So he immediately pushed the ball away with the instep of his left foot, and Hamsik who inserted it received the ball with a tacit understanding and did not stop or adjust it, but took it away smoothly.

"Hamsik and Cavani made a beautiful wall kick, look at this Naples attack."

After Hamsik dribbled the ball, he sent out a look of abruptly attacking the opponent's defense.Caceres didn't dare to be careless, and hurried forward to block the opponent.

At this moment, Hamsik passed the ball, and the ground ball directly bypassed Caceres' route and went behind him and Barzagli.

Barzagli's reaction was the quickest, he turned around and chased after the ball without thinking when he saw the ball rolling.However, someone was faster than him, and a blue voice suddenly ran from him to catch the ball in front of him.

Then he saw the opponent rushing towards the penalty area with the ball, the number nineteen was written on the back of the blue figure, and he also saw his teammate Buffon who decisively chose to abandon the goal and attack because there was no help from the defender.

Barzali was startled subconsciously, and thought to himself: Why is this old thing so fast?
"Naples NO.19!! Pandev!! Hamsik's ingenious through ball, Pandev puts in behind and is onside. Barzagli's turn is too slow!!"

However, the tragic Barzagli didn't notice that Bonucci behind him was shouting his name just as he sighed.Before he recovered, he felt a gust of wind blowing again, just like when Pandev passed him quickly.

It's just that this cool wind comes from the opposite left hand side, and this wind blows more rapidly.

Immediately afterwards, he saw a blue figure coming in front of him again, surpassing him.Barzagli subconsciously reached out to pull the opponent's jersey, but got nothing.

"Cavani!!! Barzagli made a mistake again. This is not like the usual him. Could it be that Barzagli did exercise on the bed before this game, so his feet are soft?"

"Look at how the ball was played. Naples played two against one in the penalty area. Pandev took the ball. Buffon hesitated and did not retreat, but continued to go straight to Pandev. Of course, even if he retreated to the goal, it was too late!"

"Cavani's side is open, good opportunity, Buffon completely ignored Cavani. Pandev passed. Huh? Shot!!! Pandev!!! Hey, the ball hit the post and rolled out of the baseline."

"Pandev also made a mistake. The ball should have been knocked to Cavani earlier, and then Cavani could shoot directly at the empty goal. Buffon had no time to save Cavani's shot, but the impatient Pandev didn't Choose to pass to your teammates, but shoot hard yourself."

"The nearly 5-year-old Macedonian striker does look a bit old. There is no need to think about the ball at all. It should be passed directly. Pandev wasted a chance in only 30 minutes of the opening. It is reasonable to say that he is not in a hurry at the age of [-]. How come you can't stand still just in front of the door, alas."

Pandev obviously knew that he had made a mistake, so he made an apologetic gesture.Hamsik shrugged helplessly, what could he say?Such a good through ball is not something that can be accomplished by the way. You must know that they are facing Juventus, the team that won the championship unbeaten last season and the team that has conceded the fewest goals this season! !
Conte loosened his clenched fist-like hands, and rubbed his palms on the suit pants to wipe off the sweat.In fact, he had a bad premonition from the moment Hamsik broke into his camp's defense, so he couldn't help but clenched his hands nervously.

Fortunately, Pandev was a bit greedy and didn't pass the ball. Otherwise, with Cavani's shooting skills, he would not be able to score unless aliens came to earth.

The reason why Conte is so nervous also reflects his importance to this game. He attaches great importance to this "Battle of Tianwang Mountain".If he can directly beat Naples, one of the championship contenders, in the away game, then his schedule lineup will be much easier to arrange.
