Chapter 257 Naples' Ruthlessness
There is a beautiful legend in Serie A: Juventus is invincible!
And Juventus, the protagonist of the legend, is invincible as shown.

Juventus beat Benevento 1-18 at the Ciro Vigorito Stadium on January 5;

On January 1 at the Arena Sardinia, Juventus beat Cagliari 22-4.

Immediately afterwards, on January 1, the quarter-final opponent of the Coppa Italia - Naples.

Naples and Juventus are sworn enemies or rivals in the league.With a 3:1 victory over their opponents in the last league game, Juventus at least has a psychological advantage.

However, although Juventus is a strong family in Serie A, Naples is also a strong opponent after all. Wu Haowen dare not make too much of it. After all, football is round, and it is very likely that the gutter will capsize.

However, this season's Serie A has become weird because of Wu Haowen's intervention.The top teams in previous years all performed poorly this season.Needless to say, Inter Milan is currently 11th in the league, and Naples is currently 9th in the league, and there is still a gap between the qualifying circle for European competitions.

Therefore, Naples has adjusted its season goals and made it a top priority to win the Coppa Italia.

At the beginning of the game, Naples also showed a very strong desire to win.

The game had just started, and Pereira passed the ball to the frontcourt through the right wing, trying to pass to the running Christian Capone.He made a precise pass and sent the ball into the open space. Capone shook off the defender, got the ball quickly and continued to move forward.

Goalkeeper Szczesny took the initiative to attack. Capone didn't know whether he was nervous or not ready, so he chose to shoot hastily.The ball flew to the right side of the net, but due to the bad angle, it hit the post and bounced out.

The fans of the away team at the Juventus Stadium did not hesitate to applaud and give them encouragement. The most important thing in an away game is the call and support of the fans of the away team.

All the Juventus people on the field were in a good mood because they already thought they were invincible.Facing Naples today is just a formality, after all, my team has not lost a game so far.

In the 15th minute, Juventus kicked in the left front field.Sandro passed the ball to Gomez, who, against the Napoli defenders, passed back to Pjanic.

Pjanic saw that Sandro, who had returned to the field at this time, was unmarked, and immediately gave him the ball.Sandro made a mid-range pass and kicked the ball into the penalty area on the right.

The ball happened to be in the vicinity of Mayoral, and Mayoral immediately seized the opportunity.Immediately stepped forward quickly, stretched out his right foot to make a volley shot, the ball increased its strength and changed its angle.

Naples goalkeeper Alex Meret flew to catch the ball, but unfortunately he was still a step too late.

With a bang, it entered the net crisply!

Juventus 1:0 Naples.

Juventus suddenly burst into cheers, which is the rhythm of victory.All the Juventus fans are very excited, they are completely surprised by the team's performance this season.

A series of consecutive victories made the fans swell up, dissing fans of other teams one after another, especially the fans of Inter Milan were trampled underfoot by Juventus fans, and they were embarrassed to refute.After all, Inter Milan this season is really bad.

But Naples will certainly not be caught early, they are also fighting back tenaciously.

In the 41st minute, Naples goal kick.Goalkeeper Meret kicked the ball with a big kick and flew to the frontcourt.

Juventus' Pasalic headed the ball back ahead of Grenzo Innesi, and Napoli's Peter Zelinski quickly dropped back to take possession of the ball and control the ball again at his own feet.

Then he passed back to his teammate Lopete behind him. As the Juventus players followed up to grab the ball, Lopete passed it back to the goalkeeper Meret out of caution.So, the ball passed around and returned to Meret's feet.

This time, Meret did not choose to pass the ball with a big foot, but chose a mid-range pass to the right wing and handed it to teammate Pereira.Before Keane, Pereira gave the ball to Zelinski in the left center.

Zelinski chose to take the ball forward and observe his teammates' movements from time to time.After running for a certain distance, he chose to pass the through ball to his teammate Capone in front.

After Capone touched the ball, he was marked by Juventus players and could not break through. He could only choose to take the ball and look for opportunities from the right.After seeing that his teammates had entered the penalty area on the right, he chose to cross from the right.

The Juventus defensive player Palmieri in the penalty area on the left pushed the ball before the opponent's offensive player, but unfortunately he was not strong enough to push the ball out of the penalty area.At this time, when Pamir Yeri wanted to make another kick, he found it was too late.

The Naples player Zelinski in front of the goal quickly ran to the position where the ball landed, and kicked directly to hit the goal, leaving no respite for the Juventus players.

At the same time, Acuña of Naples also quickly ran to the left post, attracting the attention of Juventus players, making them think it was a tactical ball, but it was actually a direct attack by Zelinski.

The ball rubbed against the crossbar above and entered the net.Although the goalkeeper Szczesny made a catch, but because the ball was kicked relatively high, there was really nothing he could do.

Naples tenaciously pulled back a goal, which also gave Naples fans hope.

After all, if this season leaves the Coppa Italia, Naples will gain nothing again.Needless to say about the league, although there is still the UEFA Champions League to play, but Naples fans know what their team looks like, and the Champions League championship is just something they think about, and it is elusive.

The overall feeling of Naples tonight is that they are more hardworking and tenacious.Even if the opponent is Juventus.But compared with the previous league game, this game can show their ruthlessness even more.

The goal before the end of the first half showed the problem.They are also very much looking forward to the performance of the second half.

Due to the poor record, Naples coach Jardim has been fired, and the acting coach Roberto Baronio is leading the team at this time.

In the locker room of the visiting team, Baronio looked around the crowd and only said a few words.

"Boys, we are not favored this season. But we still have the support of our fans! In order to be worthy of the family and fans who support us, what encouragement can we not discard? Show your courage and fight on. If you fail, maybe this season will be another fruitless season. Therefore, we want to win!"

Baronio's words deeply hurt everyone's hearts.

At the beginning of the second half, Naples expected changes.

But what they don't know is that Wu Haowen is the key figure in controlling the game, and he knows whether he can win every game, so in other words, Naples is doing useless work.

In the 67th minute of the second half, Sandro made a cross near the bottom line of the penalty area on the left, preparing to pass it to Mayoral in the penalty area on the right.Headed out of the penalty area by Lopete of Naples.

Pamirieri retreated to grab the ball, raised his left foot high, stepped down the ball, and firmly controlled the ball under his feet.Then the ball is passed to Sandro on the left again.

Sandro crossed again and was headed out of the box by Martin Quarta from inside the box.Sandro runs back to get the ball and pass it to Pjanic in the middle.

Pjanic stopped the ball firmly under his feet, then picked it up with his right foot, and passed the ball to Sandro who ran to the left wing at this time, Sandro touched the ball again and passed it from the left.At this time, Higuain on the left side in front of the goal faced the direction of the ball, quickly stretched out his left foot and pushed the ball into the right goal.

Juventus finally scored in the second half.This ball is so difficult.

Napoli used their tenacious defiance to make Juventus' goal difficult.The Naples fans still gave them applause and encouragement, although there were tears in their eyes.

Juventus defeated Naples 2:1 at home and advanced to the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia, where they will face Roma.The Naples fans put away their mood and continued to support their beloved team!
