Chapter 718 Only One Focus

When Chen Pengfei saw the dejected look on his face and walked off the stage, he couldn't help scratching his head, and complained in his heart: "This idiot...it's lively now."

After Paulo Cannavaro was sent off, Naples' established tactics were greatly affected. Benitez was forced to replace Albiol's vacancy in the central defender position, replacing Hamsy in midfield Ke, Naples has to maintain a balance of offense and defense for the time being. Even the two wingers, Chen Pengfei and Mertens, have temporarily retreated and are used as full-backs.

The commentator of Naples TV frowned: "Benitez chose a very bad tactic. He should know what kind of attack power Dortmund has... If he remembers his experience in Liverpool that season, he should know how to play in Dortmund. It would never be wise to stick around in front of Zhou. Although this is a troublesome opponent, there is no denying that he is very capable."

But Benitez is indeed a bit guilty. He was a stepping stone in Zhou Tiancheng's debut season in the Champions League. It doesn't matter what he says. Only he knows that he is psychological when facing Dortmund. what is the status.

A bit guilty, although I don't want to recall, but Liverpool, which once had two top midfielders Gerrard and Mascherano, is still dominated by terror, and Zhou Tiancheng is obviously stronger at this time.

And can the current Naples fight against Liverpool better than Liverpool back then?
Therefore, Benitez's idea is to stabilize first, and he believes that with Klopp's nature, he will not be satisfied with only scoring one point here when he is provoked like this.There is a kind of pride that is unique to the defending champions in their psychology.

He thought it was very suitable, but Chen Pengfei had been playing very aggrieved during this time. As a winger, if he couldn't get the ball close to the opponent's penalty area, his threat would be greatly reduced.Piszczek happened to not lose to him in terms of speed, so during this time, even when Naples had a chance to counterattack, he didn't have much sense of presence, because the ball hadn't reached the area where he could give full play to his advantages. It's out of his control.

CCTV commentators Duan Xuan and Xu Yang mentioned Zhou Tiancheng the most, that is to say, as Chinese commentators, they would mention Chen Pengfei every single sentence, otherwise no one would have thought that this was a Chinese derby.

Dortmund has far more opportunities on the scene than Naples.

"Another steal, Zhou Tiancheng did a great job, did you pass the ball? A direct shot! Oh!"

Zhou Tiancheng made a series of moves smoothly. After the steal, he adjusted a little bit, and before the opponent turned around, he volleyed vigorously towards the goal.

"Ah! Oops!"

The Naples TV commentator suddenly became nervous. Zhou Tiancheng's direct shot from the outside of the penalty area is extremely threatening. King's trick.

However, Naples' Spanish bald-headed goalkeeper Reina was still very focused, and a movement similar to a carp's upright, although not very elegant, still stopped the offensive.It can only be said that there was no danger.

However, Reina was quite dissatisfied. He got up and called Albiol over directly, and pointed out a few words to his compatriots, who were also young people.

"Concentrate!" Reina's attitude was not very good. After all, if he hadn't reacted in time for the ball just now, he would have to be responsible. This is the goalkeeper. The ball, the most direct picture that everyone sees must be that the goalkeeper is not strong.

Albiol nodded slightly. At this time, Chen Pengfei also came over and whispered to him: "Raul, we are teammates. I still have to tell the truth. I must be careful with Zhou Tiancheng. I treat him I still understand enough, I told Little Paul that just now, but he didn’t listen to me, hehe.”

Albiol nodded impatiently: "I see."

He felt that his teammates were talking too much nonsense. You must know that although he was a substitute this season, his number of appearances on behalf of Naples this season was not much lower than that of Paul Jr. He couldn't prevent him, so he must be useless?

Albiol's turning flexibility is indeed much more flexible than Paul Jr., at least when Zhou Tiancheng sends a direct pass behind him, he can turn around immediately, whether it is Aubameyang or Lewandows He has no problem coping with Ji's forward penetration.

After Paul Cannavaro was sent off, after a period of fear, Naples actually stabilized the situation in the first half hour. At this time, the fans at the scene began to get restless again, and a vigorous song "The Great Naples" sounded from the stands. ".

Naples does not have an official team song. This song is relatively widely sung among the extreme fan organizations in Naples.

"... Burn! Great Naples! When the opponent blocks our way, with our passion, destroy everything..."

The Stadio San Paolo appears to be back to its normal matchday heat.

The Naples TV commentator said in a relaxed tone: "It's not difficult. At least in the first half, Benitez's tactics were successful. With one less player on the field, he can withstand Dortmund's goal. Everything can happen in the second half." .”

Before he finished speaking, Dortmund launched a quick counterattack from the wing. Royce was very fast. In the process of rushing forward, every step was opening the distance with Mertens, waiting until he could vertically When breaking through the penalty area, Royce just took a step, which attracted part of Albiol's attention, and then passed back to the top of the penalty area in an inverted triangle.Jing Duoan quickly inserted it in place, and everyone's first reaction was that he was going to shoot, but he just built a bridge, deliberately missed it, and let it go to Zhou Tiancheng behind him.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Zhou Tiancheng shot again, this time even Reina couldn't react in time
"The goal is scored! The goal is scored! Good goal! Gundogan's intentional omission this time can be said to be the finishing touch. It is very imaginative. Let Zhou Tiancheng complete this kick to pursue the best result."

"Duan Xuan, some fans may not agree with what you said. The finishing touch must be Zhou Tiancheng's kick. No matter how good the imagination is, what's the use if it can't end with a goal? Obviously only Zhou Tiancheng can It was a matter of course to complete this most sure kick."

Duan Xuan smiled, changed the subject and said: "Now Dortmund is leading, I hope Chen Pengfei can give a response. What we hope to see is a Chinese derby that is on the verge of breaking out. This is the first time we have seen it in the Champions League for many years. , I think that many fans still have the same thoughts as mine, we don’t want today’s game to end like this—there is only one focus.”
