Hero of the Penalty Area

Chapter 54 Face to face with the legends (first guarantee)

From the very beginning of this game, Naples showed amazing aura, and when I looked at it suddenly, I thought it was Naples who was eager for revenge...

Naples is on the offensive, and Chen Yingxiong will naturally get a lot of shot opportunities.

But he is not facing an ordinary central defender.

When Chen Yingxiong faced Maldini and tried to force the ball to break through, the ball at his feet was tackled by Maldini and he did not commit a foul!

At first, Chen Yingxiong wanted to bully Maldini when he was old, he turned slowly, and his movements were not flexible enough. I don't think that although they are old, they still have experience, the card position is extremely accurate, and the prediction is also extremely accurate. Chen Yingxiong poked his butt, knowing what he was going to do, got stuck on the road ahead of time, waiting for Chen Yingxiong to hit him head-on, and then used his superb tackle skills to destroy the football.

This foot shovel is clean and neat!

Chen Yingxiong staggered, and he rushed out due to inertia, but the ball stayed at the feet of Maldini.

Fortunately, he reacted fast enough to see that the ball was lost. The first reaction was not an annoying pose with his head in his hands, but instead turned around and threw himself out again.

Maldini had planned to get up to control the football and pass the ball again.

Unexpectedly, he suddenly had a dangerous instinct, so he decisively gave up his original plan, fell to the ground and stretched his legs to sweep the football to Karadze next to him.

Just after he had done this, a gust of wind blew past his ears, and the big man struck him with his legs.

so close!

Maldini screamed inwardly, but there was no sign on his face. The forty-year-old veteran has long learned to hide his inner activities.

What surprised Maldini was not that his ball was almost cut off, but that such a big man was so agile... He was a little over 1.9 meters tall, but he turned around and was able to return immediately after the ball was broken. Rob, such agile skill is amazing.

Just like robbing a circle to tease a monkey during training, Chen Yingxiong turned around to grab, but he was empty. He was also secretly amazed in his heart-forty-year-old old guy, so powerful, it really made him completely unexpected. Let's not talk about the tackle, just say that the sweeping pass that fell to the ground is enough to explain his experience and intuition...

In fact, Chen Yingxiong initially despised Maldini, because he was almost his father at Maldini's age. Is a forty-year-old man comparable to his twenty-year-old self? He has this mentality.

No matter how rich the experience is and how good the technique is, oneself will be enough to explode the opponent with his body alone.

He didn't think that when he was in the game, he realized that it was not the case at all.

As the former best defender in the world, Maldini is really difficult to deal with...

He can always get stuck in a position that makes him feel very uncomfortable, so that he does not need to fight for the top with Chen Yingxiong, nor does he need to compete with Chen Yingxiong for speed or body, he only needs to make a proper defense in this position The action comes, that's it.

But Chen Yingxiong is uncomfortable. If Chen Yingxiong is compared to a healthy and strong adult, then Maldini is a small but tough fishbone, which happens to be stuck in the throat of an adult, Chen Yingxiong. No longer, just stuck there, making him very uncomfortable. I can't cough and cough, I can't swallow.

After coming to Italy, Chen Yingxiong can also be considered a lot of first-class defenders, but Maldini is the top person he has encountered. This is his first collision with Maldini. When the two sides played against each other in the first half of the season, Maldini didn't even make the big list. This will also be the last time, because after the end of this season, Maldini retired. This is the last season of his career.

When Chen Yingxiong was stopped by Maldini one after another, he was not angry or furious. On the contrary, a smile appeared on his face.

For Maldini's last season, he caught up with him, so lucky! Being able to play against a legendary figure once in my career...It's not worth coming to Italy for me!

Chen Yingxiong thought so.

Before he was born, Maldini was already active in the Serie A arena, and when he started playing, he was already famous. So it's really not easy to run into such a living fossil when he started playing professional leagues.

Chen Yingxiong cherishes the opportunity to compete with a master, because he knows that it is an effective way to improve himself. Besides... he still wants to use this game to get a good taste of Maldini's strength, and then maybe it can be perfectly presented in the dungeon...

Since he discovered that the copy can perfectly simulate everything on the football field, he has this idea-will it be more helpful for him to grow his strength if he often trains with the masters?

※※※

"The hero jumped up! He fought for the top! It's a pity-under the interference of Maldini, he missed the top!"

After Chen Yingxiong landed, he waved his hand somewhat annoyed. This time I grabbed ahead of Maldini and got stuck in the position. I thought it would be a goal, but I didn't expect... Maldini was slanted by the interference behind him.

Maldini could feel that every time he played against Chen Yingxiong, the kid tried his best, and the feeling was as if he was about to knock himself out.

So don't look at it in the confrontation between two people, he has not let him score, it seems that he has the upper hand, but in fact he is also very hard.

Looking at the angular muscles under Chen Yingxiong's tight jersey, he couldn't help but sigh his old age. If I could be ten years younger, I wouldn’t be as hard as today...

※※※

Here, the collision between Chen Yingxiong and Maldini attracted many people's attention. One is the hopeful star who has just landed in Serie A this year, and the other is a legendary veteran who is about to retire. It seems to mean the end of an old era and the advent of a new era.

This kind of symbolic duel is the most eye-catching and the most inspirational for literati.

But football matches are not one-on-one. In other battlefields, there are also wonderful performances.

When Chen Yingxiong competed with Maldini, the score on the field has changed.

Naples, who played at home, took the lead in the 21st minute. The person who scored the goal was not Chen Yingxiong, but Chen Yingxiong played a containment role for the goal. He alone controlled the two Milan central defenders, Maldini and Karadze, and allowed Hamsik to assist Arshavin. Successfully, the captain of the Russian national team, who shined in the European Cup, broke into the penalty area and calmed down the facility. The football rolled into the goal from Dida's finger.

The Sao Paulo Stadium was full of joy.

Many people chanted Arshavin's nickname: "Shava! Shava! Shava!" This voice even gave Arshavin the illusion of "This is St. Petersburg, this is Petrovsky Stadium."

Because the voice only sounded there.

"It seems that Arshavin will soon be welcomed by the fans here! The situation with his good friend is really different..." the commentator exclaimed.

※※※

The backward AC Milan launched a crazy counterattack. During this time, Naples' offensive was weak, and most of them retreated to participate in the defense.

The support Chen Yingxiong can get is much less, so the number of direct conversations between him and Maldini is not as frequent as before.

Napoli's defense was successful. Until the end of the first half, they did not allow the powerful AC Milan to equalize. In the end, the two sides entered the halftime with a score of 1:0.

With Arshavin's goal as the dividing line, Chen Yingxiong's performance is also divided into two different situations. Before Arshavin scored, the Naples offensive was in full swing, and Chen Yingxiong also got a lot of opportunities. He appeared frequently in TV broadcasts. And when Arshavin scored, AC Milan's offensive came up. Naples could only temporarily avoid the front and choose to reclaim the defense. As a center who relies heavily on midfield support, Chen Yingxiong had fewer chances and appeared in front of the TV audience. Naturally, there is less time.

Mazzari now faces a choice-to continue defending in the second half? Or continue to attack?

They are now leading by one ball, but the lead by one ball is simply insignificant. Napoli was originally playing a three-guard, with weak defensive strength. If they continue to press out to attack, it is inevitable that AC Mi will find a chance to equalize the score. You know that there are still three superstars sitting on the bench of AC Milan. Any one of them has the ability to change the result of the game alone.

But what about defense?

Is it too early to start defending from the second half?

Mazzari struggled for a while, and finally made a decision-defense!

So during the intermission, he conveyed such a message to his teammates.

When Chen Yingxiong heard the team's defense in the second half, he frowned. Of course he knew what this meant to him. It means that there are fewer opportunities for attacking, and there are fewer opportunities for him to score.

He felt that the coach was a little too cautious.

But the opponent is the head coach after all. It is impossible for him to stand up in the locker room and accuse the head coach of conservative tactics, right? Then don't want to get confused...Look at Ravitch, that's the end of the game against the coach.

Since the head coach does not intend to invest too much force in the offense, it also means that he has to rely on himself more often.

※※※

Mazzari believes that the team's shrinking defense should be able to withstand AC Milan's defense. After all, when it shrinks, Naples is equivalent to playing a 541 formation. Three central defenders, two full-backs, four midfielders, and one forward.

How can I think that after only five minutes into the second half, their goal was pierced by Inzaghi...

No one thought that Inzaghi would appear in that position, but he just appeared in that position, and he reached out and touched the football lightly, and the ball flew into the goal...

After the goal, Inzaghi was very excited. He opened his arms, waved, roared, and rushed to the sidelines.

After scoring a goal, Inzaghi, who was always handsome, was so excited that his face was distorted and deformed. Seeing his excitement, he was like a teenager who scored on his first appearance. This may be the reason why Inzaghi can continue to score goals at the age of thirty-five-for him, every game is like his debut in his career. He is against football, against the game, against Goal is full of constant desire and crazy passion. He will never stop chasing goals. Some people regard "forever youth" as a wish, but Inzaghi has practiced it for 18 seasons.

When Inzaghi ran on the court to celebrate, the Naples fans fell silent. They are frustrated that the team is equalized.

And what about Chen Yingxiong? His gaze has been following Inzaghi, who rushed to celebrate, and the famous striker who has been famous since he started playing is now in front of him. Chen Yingxiong felt that he was the right choice to come to Italy, because he always met those legendary figures who could only be watched on TV before, and played against them, becoming opponents they need to work hard to defeat.

"Can you imagine that he will be thirty-six in a few months?" Hamsik said suddenly, standing next to him.

Chen Yingxiong shook his head.

"He is a true immortal legend!" Even as an opponent, even if his team has just been equalized, Hamsik has made no secret of his respect and admiration for this big man.

Seeing Inzaghi's running back, Chen Yingxiong suddenly said: "I want to be a legend too!"

Hamsik was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Chen Yingxiong, no joking expressions could be seen on his face.

He patted Chen Yingxiong's back: "Come on!"
