Lord of Greenery

Chapter 211
In the 25th round of the league, Naples played at home against Genoa, which has performed well this season.

Genoa's current number one star is Milito. The Argentine striker has now scored 15 goals, ranking third in the scorer list.

Di Vaio, who ranked second, scored 24 goals in 16 league games.

For comparison, Li Ze, who scored 24 goals in 24 games, is half as many goals as the second top scorer!
There is no doubt that Li Ze's scoring efficiency is higher than that of Diwayo, and the scoring efficiency of the two is not even at the same level.

In fact, Milito's scoring efficiency is also better than that of Di Vayo.

Although his number of goals was one less, he only played 1 times. Compared with Diwayo who played 20 times and maintained full attendance, Milito's efficiency is still higher.

Of course, no matter how tall he is, he cannot surpass Li Ze.

Now, facing this opponent worthy of challenge, Li Ze is also fully prepared.

In the 9th minute of the start, Gargano took a free kick and Li Ze scored with a header.

After the goal was scored, Li Ze himself couldn't believe it.

He just scored the first header in his career a few days ago, and now he scored the second?
Li Ze knew that his header ability was only 14/15, so he naturally didn't expect that he could score another header so quickly, and he was a little surprised and inexplicable.

For Li Ze, the good luck in this match came to an end.

In the 15th minute, Li Ze was brought down to the ground by Criscito and suffered a slight injury.

Because the problem was not too serious, Li Ze did not choose to end directly.

The first half was not over yet, and when he was off the field, the team had to use up a substitution.

It will have a great impact on the morale of the team and the layout of the head coach.

Li Ze decided to persevere for a while with minor injuries.

Of course, he will not continue to break through with the ball in the next time.

The injury is indeed not serious now, but the injury is at the ankle, and if one is not careful, it may become a serious injury.

If this place is seriously injured, it will be a huge blow to the player's career.

Fortunately for the Champions League final, it is impossible for Li Ze to gamble his career for such an ordinary league.

No matter how bad it is, if there is a possibility of competing for the league championship, Li Ze doesn't mind fighting for it.

But according to the current situation, Naples has great hopes of competing for the top four in the league, but there is basically no possibility of competing for the championship.

Desperately working hard, just for a second?What is the difference between this ranking and the fourth?

Li Ze couldn't do such a stupid thing.

Although the breakthrough has been greatly reduced, as long as Li Ze stands on the field, or even takes root in the opponent's penalty area and does not run, the Genoa players dare not relax their vigilance against him.

After persisting for the first half, Li Ze took the initiative to find Rhea and asked for a rest.

"I feel a little uncomfortable." Li Ze said.

"Could it be a psychological effect?" Rhea didn't want Li Ze to end.

Li Ze just shook his head.

Maybe it's really a psychological effect, he can't say well.

But he's not going to gamble with his career.

The example of Durant in the future is there, and Li Ze will not repeat the same mistakes.

As a last resort, Rhea could only choose to replace Li Ze.

There is still one third of the league. If Li Ze is injured at this time, it will be a huge blow to Naples' pursuit of the Champions League.

Moreover, Naples has always had the advantage in the first half, and as long as they hold in the second half, they can curl up and get three points.

Naples, which has an Italian defender as its team, has a limit no matter how poor its defensive ability is.

In the case of full defense, the Genoa players were really difficult to attack for a while.

But their efforts were not in vain. After Li Ze left the field, the Genoa players let go and completely suppressed Naples.

Of course, there are reasons for Naples to voluntarily give up possession of the ball, but more of it is that their strength does not allow them to continue to possess the ball.

After 20 minutes passed, the score between the two sides was still 1:0, but the fans still panicked.

Under Genoa's attack, Naples' defense looked shaky and seemed to be broken at any moment.

The premonition of the fans was not wrong. In the 69th minute, Motta cut off Gargano's pass in the middle and found Jankovic in the frontcourt with a through ball. Evened the score.

1: 1!

At the moment when the score was equalized, some fans closed their eyes as if they couldn't bear to look directly, and some fans subconsciously looked for Li Ze's figure.

After seeing Li Ze sitting on the bench, these fans were desperate.

Li Ze is not on the court, who else can they count on to turn the tide?
At this moment, even Li Ze, who is wise and safe, feels quite uncomfortable.

Although he is off the field, he still believes that his team can beat the opponent.

Although Genoa has Milito, their performance this season is quite good.

But in Li Ze's memory, he has no impression of the Genoa team at all.

In other words, this team did not have the famous deeds in Europe at all.

Without him, Naples can't even take care of such a small team. What are they talking about competing for the league championship?

Not only Li Ze thought so, but also other Naples players on the field.

Li Ze's performance this season is so good that the outside world ignores the contributions of other players in Naples.

Now there are 25 rounds in the league, Li Ze scored 25 goals, and the Naples team only scored 55 goals. Li Ze's goals accounted for nearly half of the team's goals!
Judging from this data, it is not unreasonable for the outside world to ignore other Napoli players.

This team, which ranks in the top four in Serie A, obviously suffers from "Li Ze's dependence"!
This is a fact, but the other players in Naples do not want to admit this fact.

They also want to prove, to prove their role to the team, to prove that they are not dispensable.

Now, Li Ze's absence is undoubtedly the best opportunity.

However, until now, it has been too late to break through Genoa's defense, and even scored a goal by the opponent's counterattack.

Geniuses such as Hamsik and Lavitch are caught in deep self-doubt at the moment.

Could it be that they really can't do without Li Ze?
In the confusion and hesitation of Naples, time passed bit by bit. When the final whistle sounded, Li Ze, who was sitting on the bench, looked back at the scoreboard.

1: 1!

In the end, Naples still failed to win Genoa at home.

Li Ze, who took the initiative to choose to rest, felt a little uncomfortable.

In the same round, the top three in the north all won.

Inter Milan widened the point difference of Naples, Juventus caught up, with 50 points with Naples, ranked 3rd with a goal difference disadvantage, AC Milan also caught up, and now ranks 4th in the league.

After this round, Naples still managed to maintain the second position, but it already looked shaky.

To make matters worse, in the next round of the league, Naples will play away against Juventus!
