Chapter 153: The Power of Running Without the Ball
Chapter 153 The power of running without the ball (second update, please give me a monthly ticket!)
"Twenty-ninth ball!"
When Chen Yingxiong used a long shot to hit the football into the goal, the commentator shouted.
"Now he has scored twenty-nine goals, and if he continues to develop according to the form, I have no doubt that he can score the 30th goal..."
Since Hansen, who played for Juventus, won the Serie A Golden Boot with 30 goals fifty-eight years ago, only one person has done it in the past fifty-eight years. In the 2005-06 season, Luca Toni, who played for Fiorentina, was elected as the Serie A Golden Boot with 31 goals, breaking the 54-year dusty history.
Since then, no one has been able to score more than 30 goals in a single season.
This shows how powerful the defensive strength of the Serie A is.
In La Liga and Premier League, scoring over 30 goals in a single season is not a big deal. Serie A is enough to make a sensation.
Now Chen Yingxiong has scored his 29th goal this season, which is just one goal difference from the 30th goal. Looking at Chen Yingxiong's condition today, one goal in this game may not satisfy him...
While celebrating the goal, Napoli’s teammates were shouting to Chen Yingxiong: “Thirty goals, hero! Another one!”

During the halftime break, Dinatale learned that Chen Yingxiong had scored the 29th goal, and he was still one goal behind Chen Yingxiong.
I am very tenacious, and my opponent is equally tenacious. Under such aggressive pressure, I have not lost my own stance, and I am really an admirable opponent.
"Don't be discouraged, Captain. We have forty-five minutes left!"
Teammates cheer him up.
Dinatale just smiled and thanked her for her teammates. But in fact, he didn't need their cheering, because he didn't feel frustrated or disappointed at all.
The competition for the top scorer this season is so fierce that he scored the most goals in a single season since his career.
He felt that he was in a good state, what was so disgusting?
Hero, let’s continue to fight in the second half!
※ ※ ※
The score in the first half was 1:0, the lead was the visiting team Naples, and the scorer was Chen Yingxiong.
During the halftime break, Chen Yingxiong saw assistant coach Viviani blinking at him: "You are still the first, hero!"
"Dinatale didn't score?" Chen Yingxiong asked.
"No, he scored a goal, which was better than you. But you scored this goal later, so the gap between the two sides was still the same goal." Viviani explained to Chen Yingxiong.
"It's so tenacious..." Chen Yingxiong didn't expect Dinatale to score the goal, and it was the last round of the league and he had not yet opened up the gap.
The opponent is indeed amazing.
"Okay, I'll get another one in the second half!" Chen Yingxiong punched in his palm.

There are many highlights in this last round of the league. The battle for the best scorer is just one of them, and there is also the competition for the league championship.
This season, in the domestic arena, it is basically a contest between Inter Milan and Rome.
In the Italian Cup final on May 5, Inter Milan led by Mourinho defeated Roma 1-0 and won the Italian Cup. If they can win the league championship, they will become the double champion. Since they also reached the Champions League final, they may become the triple champion.
This is the first triple crown of the Italian club!
So there were two games in this game that attracted much attention, one was Roma's away challenge to Chivo, and the other was Inter Milan's away challenge to Siena.
Before this game, the two teams were only two points apart. If Inter Milan loses and Roma wins, Roma can overtake Inter Milan and become the league champion.
The situation is somewhat similar to the competition for the top scorers in the league. Both the leaders are not easy, but they are under tremendous pressure. The laggards just chase after them and maybe they can chase a miracle.

When Dinatale walked out of the player's passage, she saw the banner "Come on, old gun!" again. He waved to the fans holding the banner, thanking them for their support.
On the other hand, Chen Yingxiong looked solemn when he walked out of the passage, he looked very certified, and even a little... too serious.
"The leader is under great pressure, which can be seen from the hero's expression. If he loses the league Golden Boot in the last round, it will definitely be a heavy blow for him!" The TV broadcast gave Chen Yingxiong a close-up, and the commentator said to Chen Yingxiong's face. "And he may become the laughing stock of everyone because of this... I think this is the reason why he is under great pressure, right?"
※ ※ ※
Chen Yingxiong is indeed afraid of losing the league's top scorer, but this does not mean that he will move out of shape and his mentality will be unbalanced under tremendous pressure.
He is different from other players. He has another very good way to vent his emotions and relieve stress. That is...shot!
"Hero - heavy gun shot!! Since scoring with a long shot in the first half, he has consciously increased his long shot... Unfortunately, the ball missed!"
"Hero is here again, he is here again! This time I am stronger in the penalty area...shot! Unfortunately, I was unable to poke the power, so the football was easily confiscated by the goalkeeper..."
"Naples midfielder is constantly feeding Chen Yingxiong...Arshavin! Beautiful get rid of...Straight pass! The hero inserts and successfully counter-offside. It's a wonderful pass and run cooperation! Shoot! The ball enters... Oh! It hits the side net! From my perspective, it looks like a football enters the goal..."
In the shooting after shot, the pressure thing had long been kicked out of the sky by Chen Yingxiong.
And with this shot after shot, the goal was getting closer and closer to him.
Chen Yingxiong believes in "quantitative change causes qualitative change". If you only shoot two goals in a game, how can you expect to complete a hat trick? Maybe you can't even score a goal. He is not a star of Ronaldo. At this stage, he can naturally only use quantity to make up for the gap in quality - he knows that his shooting skills are not superb, and he can't do every shot very tricky, and to a very reliable level, and even most shots are reliable, he can't do it now. So if he doesn't shoot a few more goals, he won't even think about scoring goals.
In the 67th minute, Naples launched another attack. This time, Sanchez was planning to pass the football over the top to Chen Yingxiong so that he could use his header advantage.
Unexpectedly, the football didn't get started, and it hit the full-back who came up to defend him, and a change of line occurred.
Flying backwards.
However, this goal did not force Chen Yingxiong, who was running, to make a quick stop and turn around, and then jumped into the air to get a difficult shot with an upside-down golden hook.
Although the goal scored was beautiful, the goal rate was too low. What Chen Yingxiong wanted now was to score goals, not beautiful goals, as long as he could score goals.
So Chen Yingxiong did not follow him to grab the spot at the beginning, because he found that Sampdoria had arranged heavy troops in front of the goal. If he rushed forward, he would have to fight against the opponent head-on. Of course, Chen Yingxiong was not afraid, but the chance of scoring in this way also dropped sharply.
Therefore, he didn't go there at the beginning, although Sanchez was passing there at the beginning - Chen Yingxiong didn't care how his teammates passed the ball, and he had no obligation to receive every pass from his teammate.
He just acted according to the results he had observed, and he thought it would not work. So he made a false move to rush forward, which led to Sampdoria's back line collectively retracting, and then he stopped suddenly and moved to the right.
This is the off-ball running that he has been practicing hard in the dungeon with Inzaghi in the dungeon. Now it is finally interesting. Although many of his goals still have a strong personal style, it doesn't matter. The off-ball running is slowly affecting him.
At this moment, the football that changed the line fell over.
It just flew to Chen Yingxiong's control range.
Chen Yingxiong had used this no-ball running to shake off the defense, and was currently in an unguarded situation at that time. He didn't exert much force, jumped up gently, and shook his head against the incoming ball!
The football sounded and the net was rolled up.
It's so simple, so simple, so football is in!
Chen Yingxiong was stunned for a moment after landing. He thought the opponent's goalkeeper was going to save the ball, but he didn't expect that the goalkeeper was like everyone else, but he didn't say anything. He just turned his head and watched the football enter the goal, with a little annoyed on his face.
Run without the ball!
Chen Yingxiong was a little excited at the time, but he did not express it.
Inzagi scored a lot of goals in his career, but you rarely see his name and goals on the ranking list like "Top Ten Wonderful Goals of the Week". Many of his goals are neither good-looking nor exciting, they are not easy to say, and they are even a little ugly.
But he can score goals!
In the game, is there anything more important than this? Everyone is competing for a while, isn’t it just about who scores more goals? Measure whether a striker is excellent or not, it is definitely not about whether his goal is a world wave, but about whether he scores a lot of goals. This is a very simple and rough standard, without any aesthetic sense, but very effective. Otherwise, so many strikers would care so much about a "best scorer"?
With excellent running ability without the ball, many goals that should have been very rare suddenly become so simple. The number of goals will naturally be increased. Because those difficult goals, you need not only skills, but also super luck. Otherwise, you can try Robert Carlos' free kick against France in the 1997 Four Nations Invitational Tournament? If you let him play a hundred times, he may not be able to perfectly reproduce you. This is luck.
But the luck factor in this ball just now was reduced to the lowest level. You only need to appear in the most correct position and then make regular moves.
Chen Yingxiong's header was as relaxed as he did in his usual training. This is the benefit of running without the ball.
Chen Yingxiong was secretly happy. After tasted the sweetness, his belief in practicing running without a ball became stronger.
Inzaji is indeed right. Running without a ball is a talent, but this talent is not something that cannot be obtained through acquired training!
