Chapter 146: A four-goal victory
Although Insigne failed to score this goal, it also provided confidence for Napoli players. As long as they continue to attack like this, they will be able to score sooner or later. Just one away goal is needed to break the current balance.
Naples continues to push forward the attack, so that they will still have room for them.
In response to such a situation, Dortmund certainly would not give up their counterattack.
In the 74th minute, Dortmund cleared the ball with his big foot in the backcourt, and the football was raised near the center line. Mark, who was heading in front, pulled back and used his chest to remove the football, and then passed it back to Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi did not stop the ball, but swung his feet towards the football and made a long pass!
The football passed through the turf and went straight behind their defense!
Aubameyang moved to the right this time. He rushed forward at high speed, caught up with Zhou Yi's straight pass, and then drove the ball all the way to the penalty area of Naples!
Facing Aubameyang's amazing speed, Napoli's central defender Albial was powerless. Although he had been chasing behind, he was thrown farther and farther away. When Aubameyang broke into the penalty area, he was completely powerless to stop the opponent.
Only one can be watched Aubameyang and Reina who attacked!
"Zhou Yi passed it directly behind him! Beautiful! Aubameyang-" Amid the roar, Aubameyang raised his foot and shot!
Reiner, who attacked, fell to the ground and rushed to the side, rubbing his foot slightly, which was the key to rub!
The football therefore rubbed the periphery of the goal post and stumbled out of the bottom line!
"Oh!! Aubameyang! He missed the opportunity to rewrite the score! He wasted the great opportunity created by Zhou Yi for him!"
Aubameyang, who had no goal, held his head in his hands and couldn't believe that he didn't score.
Reiner, who completed the key save, jumped up from the ground and waved his fists and screamed.
The striker strives to score a away goal in the front, and his goalkeeper's task is naturally to no longer let Dortmund score.
※※※
Napoli then continued to substitution and replaced Pandev with forward young player Zapata, hoping to maintain the pressure on the offensive.
But in this way, the gap behind them will continue to exist.
It depends on who has a stronger ability to seize opportunities...
Just four minutes after Aubameyang missed a great counterattack opportunity, in the 78th minute, Dortmund launched another attack. After Mark got the ball in the frontcourt, he tried to dribble the ball in vain. Then he passed the football to Zhou Yi who was inserted from behind.
Zhou Yi rushed forward while receiving the ball, then dribbled the ball into the penalty area of Naples.
For a moment, the Naples defenders blocked his side and formed a barrier.
However, in this way, they do not have enough protection for ribs and sidewalks.
Reus happened to appear in that place.
Napoli players also noticed Reus' position, so they kept it tightly on the line and pressed forward, hoping to put Reus in the offside trap.
In addition, they can also squeeze Zhou Yi's space to get the ball. If Zhou Yi wants to pass the ball, Reus will most likely be offside.
They pressed forward and came up towards Zhou Yi. If Zhou Yi did not pass the ball, he might be cut off, but if he passed the ball, he might be offside. This is a decision that must be made in a flash.
Before the opponent's foot touched the football, Zhou Yi used his right foot to push the football out and passed it to the front of Reus, while Reus rushed forward and caught up with the football!
Other Napoli players immediately raised their arms and signaled that Reus was offside!
But neither the lineman nor the referee were close to each other, he did not express anything about Reus's goal!
After Zhou Yi passed the ball, he was knocked to the ground by the opponent. He could not see the subsequent development after passing the ball, but he believed that his kick would definitely not be offside.
When the Naples back line was pressing, Reus also deliberately slowed down and almost stopped. Considering that Reus was going to start on the spot, Zhou Yi's pass was not very big, allowing Reus to receive the ball without much effort...
※※※
"Royce - not offside! Good goal!"
Amid the commentator's roar, Reus caught up with the football and took a little step forward. Facing Reina who was attacking and blocking the angle, he chose to shoot!
The football flew over from Reina's left hand. Reina waved his hand like a conditioned reflex, but it slowed down. The football flew past him, flew straight to the back corner, and then plunged in!
"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!! Reus! Reus! Dortmund really did it! 4:0!!! Dortmund beat Napoli four goals in his home court!" Marcel Leif shouted excitedly.
"Reus... good ball! good ball! This ball scored beautifully! Zhou Yi once again gave a wonderful assist! Before the game, he said that he would win four goals at home. His "crazy words" at that time also attracted a lot of criticism, especially the Italian media criticized Zhou Yi. But now, he did what he said! One goal, two assists! Mark's second ball was also instigated by him. He fulfilled his promise before the game and allowed Dortmund to win four goals at home! If the score remains until the end of the game, then many Tymond will overwhelm Napoli with the advantage of the victory or defeat, and become the second in the group!" He Ping praised Zhou Yi's performance!
After this goal, China's Internet was also full of praise and flattery for Zhou Yi.
"...I just said that Napoli is not convinced? What are you not convinced? Don't think about what Zhou Yi's nickname is? Wizard! Is there anything he said that he has achieved? He said that he wants to score four goals, that is, he wants to score four goals!"
"Although Yan Min's performance is also excellent, your uncle is your uncle! Zhou Yi's performance is better! He is a well-deserved core!"
...
※※※
Seeing the football flew into the goal, many Naples players covered their faces in pain.
They know exactly what this ball means.
If they lose the game like this, their group qualifying situation suddenly becomes precarious...
Benitez also seemed very upset about the goal concealed, and he was stunned for a while on the sidelines.
In fact, according to his tactical adjustments at the last moment, conceding the ball is not an unimaginable thing, but when concealing the ball really happens, it is still difficult to accept it immediately.
Now the only thing left in Naples is Huashan Road - Attack.
It is meaningless to talk about shrinking defense and strive to not concede the ball.
Only attack. If Napoli can score an away goal, even if they lose the game, it will be better to lose 1:4 than to lose 0:4. The total score is 4:4, and there is another away goal. Napoli can take the initiative again in his own hands.
So Benitez cheered up and sent instructions to the court again - continue the attack!
In theory, it is right to continue attacking.
However, in actual competitions, it is often difficult to guide with theory.
Everyone knows that at this time, they should attack and try to get a goal back. But some people will also worry about what if they continue to attack like this and let Dortmund score another goal? This game was obviously Benitez's team planned to play a defensive counterattack, but now it seems that Dortmund is better at counterattacking than them. Four goals were basically scored.
Dortmund's excellent efficiency will inevitably make Napoli players be cautious when attacking and cannot perform their full strength.
Especially, people are uneven, some want to attack, but some want to defend... How can you play this game?
※※※
In the next ten minutes, Dortmund shrank his defense and put on a stance that he was obviously going to play a defensive counterattack. Mark Wagner was replaced by Piszczek to strengthen his defense. There seemed to be no center ahead, but Yan Min, Aubameyang and Reus all had extremely fast speed and excellent individual combat capabilities.
Faced with such a Dortmund, even if Napoli goes all out to attack, they may not be able to score goals, let alone that they are not unified within themselves. Some want to attack and some want to defend.
It was not until the last five minutes that Naples finally unified his mind and sieged Dortmund's goal crazily, hoping to create miracles.
But since Dortmund scored four goals in this game, how could he fail at the last moment and let the opponent score a goal?
Dortmund did their defense well and did not give Napoli a chance to score.
Until Spanish referee Carvalho blew the whistle at the end of the game, Napoli was unable to score even a away goal.
"The whole game ended! Dortmund defeated Napoli 4-0 at home! They completed their pre-match goals and they also retained their hope of qualifying! Now Dortmund squeezed out Napoli with the advantage of the victory or defeat relationship and became the second in the group! In the last game, as long as Dortmund won Galatasaray away, no matter what Napoli and Arsenal play like, they will get the right to qualify!"
Marcel Leif shouted excitedly.
Chapter completed!
