Lord of Greenery

Chapter 204
Facing a strong Serie A team like Naples, it is too fatal to be behind by one player and one goal at the start.

Fiorentina must be attacking, and losing a three-pointer is gone.

But one person is missing, and what is missing is an important defender.

The opponent has Li Zai from Huaguo, and there is one less person in his own family. If he insists on attacking, it is destined to be a tragic result.

Do you want to fight for the odds of that smile, or just admit defeat and try to keep the morale of the players?

Even for a famous coach like Prandelli, it is difficult to make a decision for a while.

Soon something happened that made Prandelli even more entangled.

Today's Naples adopt a very different style of play. The whole team is actively fighting for the ball, and even the forwards start to fight for the ball in the frontcourt.

Just when Prandelli wondered whether this style of play would consume too much energy, he found that his players made frequent mistakes due to the opponent's pressing.

Especially in the midfield, half of the possession of the ball was lost at the feet, which was a disaster.

If it was normal morale, Fiorentina might not lose their sense of proportion like this, but first, they experienced a three-game losing streak before the game, which is the time when they are most eager to win.

At the beginning, Naples was given a package of one goal and one player, which was a big blow to the players' confidence.

So Prandelli saw that his players were completely suppressed.

In the 13th minute, Brasi intercepted Melo in the midfield and passed the ball to the left. Li Ze took the ball and approached the bottom line while slowing down.

Gamberini thought he was going to cross and went up to defend and didn't want to give him enough space.

But Li Ze kicked the ball towards his feet and rushed towards him at the same time.

The Viola defender was taken aback, thinking that the opponent was deliberately hitting him and flopping in exchange for a penalty.

Gamberini quickly restrained his movements, and then saw Li Ze rubbing his outer instep, and the ball pierced Gamberini's crotch.

Li Ze took advantage of the momentum and made a sharp turn to bypass Gamberini, and successfully cut into the penalty area!

The goalkeeper, Storari, was no longer in the mood to curse. Seeing Li Ze approaching step by step, he even felt chills in his hands and feet.

Li Ze is as confident as he is unconfident.

Seeing Storari rushing forward in a panic, Li Ze dunked the ball to avoid Storari's save, and then kicked the ball lightly to the far corner.

"gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!"

"The ball is scored! The ball is scored again!"

"It's back, the strongest Naples team is back!"

"Facing them, even the top three in the north will tremble!"

In the stands, the Fiorentina fans couldn't believe what they saw.

In the end what happened?
Less than 15 minutes later, they fell behind by two goals and another player was sent off.

Even after the winter break, the three-game losing streak did not deal such a big blow to the Viola fans.

After all, it is not unacceptable to the fans to hit the Serie A giants twice in the three games and only lose one goal.

But now?

Naples is indeed in good shape this season, but that is the first half of the season.

After the winter break, their state is no better than Fiorentina, and they can even concede 7 goals in two games!

This is how Naples can beat them so badly?
Why?
At this moment, Violet's fans fell into deep doubt and decadence, and even the boos seemed weak.

On the other side, the Naples fans cheered loudly.

They sang the team song, they shouted Li Ze's name.

They were watching the football game, so they knew that Li Ze was the one who contributed the most to Naples' current advantage!
Rather, before the game, everyone knew that Li Ze was the scariest player in the Naples team.

But everyone knows that Florence is still destroyed in this way.

Prandelli knew he had to do something.

According to the current rhythm of kicking, Florence may be kicked out of a tragedy.

Taking a deep look at Li Ze, Prandelli remembered the figure of this Chinese man in his heart, and then made a decision.

Forward Santana went off and full-back Zauri came on.

In less than 15 minutes, Prandelli had to use up his first substitution!
You know, even the madman Mourinho rarely used up the substitutions in the first half.

Not even being able to hold on to halftime means that there has been a huge flaw in the head coach's tactical arrangement.

The substitution means that the head coach has realized his mistake and admitted his mistake.

This sounds nothing, but in fact, such an approach is a manifestation of the head coach's lack of confidence in his ability and layout.

When other people see it, they will also doubt the head coach's ability.

But this one is quite an exception. Such a bad thing happened at the beginning, which is a crime other than war.

Moreover, replacing Zauri at this time is also very necessary in Prandelli's view.

As early as 2001, Zauri was selected for the national team.

In Italy, where there are so many strong defenders, none of the defenders who can be selected for the national team is simple.

Zauri is naturally experienced and powerful. He was once the captain of Lazio and was only loaned to Fiorentina this season.

Prandelli sent him up, hoping that he could use his rich experience to restrain Li Ze.

If you continue to let this Chinese man act recklessly, Florence will really be over.

At the same time, his substitution is also telling his players——

Do your best to defend!
Although very unwilling, Prandelli knew that it would be difficult to win this game.

What needs to be avoided now is to harvest a tragedy in Frankie!
When the tragedy and the four-game losing streak come together, even if Prandelli is the most famous young marshal in Italy, he will not be able to withstand the attack of public opinion.

In order to avoid taking the blame and resigning, Prandelli could only give up part of his offensive ability and keep the current score.

Waiting for the second half, considering the possibility of a comeback.

However, Li Ze didn't give him a chance.

In the 23rd minute, Li Ze received a pass from Hamsik outside the penalty area.

Before scoring the goal, Li Ze saw the cautious Zauri, Gamberini who was helping to defend, and also took a look at the position of the goalkeeper Storari.

The next moment, instead of using his chest to stop the ball, he volleyed half sideways and shot!
Storari didn't expect him to shoot at all, and stood there without moving.

The ball hit the dead corner above the far corner. Storari heard the sound of the ball entering the net and looked over subconsciously.

In the eyes of the fans, he was just watching the ball into the net, matching his eyes, it was like worshiping.

Seeing Li Ze running wildly on the green field, some fans really couldn't accept it. The score of 0:3 was too dazzling.

Some fans chose to leave the field, while others wept on the spot.

The situation has progressed to this point, and it is no longer within Prandelli's control.

He could only dumbly direct the players to continue to retreat and stick to the current score.

0:3…

Although a bit ugly, but still barely acceptable.
