Lord of Greenery

Chapter 218
"Here is the second round of the Europa League knockout round, Naples' away game against Manchester City."

"Manchester City used to be Sun Jihai's home team. If he hadn't left, we would have seen the Huaguo Derby in the Europa League." He Wei didn't elaborate on this topic either.

"Manchester City have set up a 541 formation. The goalkeeper is Shay Given. Joe Hart, who has high hopes, did not start. The defense line is Wayne Bridge, Richard Dunn, Neda Tom Onuoha, Mika Richard and Pablo Zabaleta, the midfield three are Elano Brummer, Stephen Ireland, Felipe Caicedo and Wright Phillips Robinho as lone striker."

"It looks like a defensive formation. In fact, two full-backs are pressing forward. Phillips and Robinho are on the wing. If Caicedo mentioned a single forward, this is a 343 formation." Zhang Lu analyzed.

"If 541 is the ultimate defense, then 343 is the ultimate offense."

On the field, Li Ze swept them around while shaking hands, feeling that there was no suspense in this match.

If Zabaleta is more mature, if Wright Phillips is mature, this formation is indeed a bit messed up.

But in this period of time, only Robinho is outstanding in Manchester City's wing attack, and the only one who can help him is Bridget, the victim of the friend's wife.

If Naples only sent half of the main force, the result would be hard to say.

But this time, Naples played with all the main players!
"Napoli's formation is still the familiar 352, the goalkeeper is Navarro, the three defenders are Santa Croce, Cannavaro and Contini, and the five midfielders are Maggio, Brasi, Gargano, Hamsik and Vitale, the two strikers are Lavitch and Li Ze."

He Wei was amazed at the end of the reading.

"Napoli dispatched the main lineup. I remember that they didn't play the Europa League seriously before."

"Naples leads the fifth place in the league by 5 points, and now they are focusing on the Europa League, which is very greedy." Zhang Lu laughed.

When seeing Naples dispatch the main force, the two commentators were very confident.

Such a lineup allowed Naples to double kill Juventus in Serie A!
It can be said that the old lady lost to Naples in two rounds, which is the main reason why they could not win the league championship.

It can also be seen from this that the upper limit of Naples' main force is very high, which is at the same level as the giants.

For the game, both Li Ze and the two Huaguo commentators are full of confidence.

However, it was Manchester City who advanced by one goal.

In the 8th minute, Wright Phillips broke through Vitale and made a pass from the bottom. Cannavaro Jr. predicted that he would be stuck. As a result, his mind was inexplicably hot, and he jumped high but missed the ball.

He's over the top!

Caicedo, who was behind him, received the ball in an unguarded state and easily broke through the goal guarded by Navarro.

1: 0!

Manchester City lead at home!

"Little Cannavaro, like his brother, likes to take the lead." Zhang Lu shook her head on the spot. "The goalkeeper can't be blamed for this goal. That position allows the opponent's striker to get the ball, which is unstoppable."

"As the core of the team's defense, Cannavaro Jr. is a little edgy. There is no need to lose this ball." He Wei shook his head again and again at Cannavaro Jr.'s mistake.

They were also able to keep their composure because they believed Napoli could fight back.

After the game restarted, Li Ze gave the ball to Ravitch and quickly moved forward.

Lavezzi passed the ball back to Gargano. Gargano, who had just returned from injury, glanced left and right. Instead of rushing to pass the ball, he began to sort out the team's offensive and defensive rhythm.

The strength of Naples is above Manchester City, including the midfielder.

In this season, it is really rare for the Naples midfielder to have the upper hand.

The game slowly fell into the rhythm of Naples, and Manchester City was very uncomfortable.

Brummer and Ireland pressed hard but struggled to steal the ball from the Napoli players.

Even if they have outstanding physical fitness, it is difficult to withstand such consumption for a long time.

"After more than half of the season, the overall cooperation of Naples has improved significantly." He Wei praised.

"They are playing offensive football as a whole and are pleasing to the eye. The audience are blessed." Zhang Lu laughed.

In the 19th minute, Li Ze received a long pass from Hamsik and passed the ball through Brummer's crotch. Brigitte saw that the situation was not good and quickly came to defend.

At this time, there is no time for the friendship wife affair, or the media has not made it public.

Although Brigi left from Chelsea, he is also a top full-back in the Premier League.

As a substitute for Ashley Cole in the national team, Brigi, who can also play as a full-back, is actually quite good.

Li Ze used two fake moves in a row, but still failed to shake off the England full-back.

Seeing that he didn't want to eat, Li Ze didn't come to those nonsense anymore, he kicked the ball to the left, and he quickly passed Bridget along the right.

Brigi turned around quickly, but was still passed by Li Zecheng.

After Li Ze missed two people in a row, Manchester City's defense suddenly seemed extremely empty.

Dun En arrived in time to stop Li Ze. Li Ze took a look at his outstretched feet and his own position, and resolutely slammed into his legs.

Dun En didn't have time to stop, and was bumped into a stagger by Li Ze.

Li Ze took advantage of the situation and fell to the ground, reaching out his hand towards the referee Alain Hamel.

Dunn hurried up to intercede, but he obviously didn't have that much face, Hamel gave him a yellow card.

Under the desperate gaze of the Manchester City fans, Hamel pointed to the twelve yards of the Manchester City penalty area——

penalty!

Li Ze's breakthrough won a penalty for Naples.

"This ball is suspected of looking for a penalty kick." Zhang Lu chuckled, "But it's mainly Dun En's fault, he shouldn't have stretched his foot."

"This kind of thing can only be blamed on yourself if you are touched." He Wei also shook his head with a smile.

Amidst the boos of the Manchester City fans, Li Ze stood at the penalty spot.

Glancing sideways at Ji Wen, who was pretending to be calm, Li Ze didn't make any fancy fake moves, but directly volleyed vigorously, and the ball bounced off the crossbar.

Manchester City fans were silent.

This is Naples' away goal, so critical that Manchester City fans can't breathe!

He Wei praised loudly: "This is a strong penalty kick like a textbook."

"Li Ze doesn't look particularly strong, but his physical fitness and long-range shooting are actually quite good. Some people say that Chinese people's physical fitness is not suitable for playing football. They should look at Li Ze." Zhang Lu is also full of praise.

"Not to mention the penalty kick, Li Ze's breakthrough was also very exciting."

"Recently he has reduced his breakthroughs in Serie A, but if he really wants to come, his breakthroughs are still at a high level, the first-tier European level."

After scoring the goal, Li Ze smiled slightly and did not celebrate wantonly.

The current Manchester City is not the future Manchester City, and the level of strength can only be said to be average.

Victory over them is nothing to be proud of either.
