Chapter 208 There are some jokes, only once in ten years!
After advancing to the semi-finals of the Italian Cup, Naples came to challenge Palermo away from home.
Mazzarri continued to use the 343 formation.
Pandev, Hao Qiang and Cavani formed a trident to attack.
Palermo stubbornly attacked Napoli at home.
However, with the experience of the previous games, Hao Qiang directly retreated and lurked behind the two forwards to organize and coordinate the offense.
The Naples fans in the stands were filled with emotion as they watched the team's smooth offensive organization and constant threatening shots.
"Maybe we shouldn't compare Hao Qiang to Maradona. He is now taking the initiative to take on the work of offensive organization. Isn't he moving closer to Maradona?"
"Alas, Hamsik's state in January is simply unbearable! Otherwise, there would be no need for Hao Qiang to sacrifice like this."
"But I saw Hao Qiang taking on the responsibility of the team leader. Winning as a team is more important than anything else, isn't it right?"
In the 22nd minute of the game, Hao Qiang spiked the ball in front of the top of the penalty area to dodge the opponent's press and then sent a through ball. Pandev cut inside to the left side of the penalty spot and scored with a push shot.
After Pan Defu scored, he turned around and pointed at Hao Qiang, with a smile on his face that did not conceal his appreciation.
Before the end of the half, Hao Qiang crossed into the right side of the penalty area to receive a cross from Zuniga. He headed the ball to the center of the goal, and Cavani scored with a header!
When the Naples generals rushed to the sidelines to celebrate, Cavani knelt down on one knee and wiped Hao Qiang's shoes.
The generals in Palermo were extremely depressed.
They tried hard to block Hao Qiang's threat to the goal, but Hao Qiang assisted and scored twice.
I have no idea why Hao Qiang’s style switch happened.
Shortly after the start of the second half, Palermo was preparing for a counterattack, and Naples seized the opportunity to launch a fast break.
Pandev and Cavani rushed to the front line. After passing the ball together, Pandev passed the ball to Hao Qiang who came in behind.
Hao Qiang made a forward run and made several stops. He accelerated through Palermo's defense and went to the meeting alone. He calmly kicked the ball and the ball went through an inner arc and fell into the lower right corner of the goal.
Napoli sealed the victory 3:0 in the away game!
Mazari cheered.
Naples fans paid homage to Hao Qiang in the stands.
Naples made substitutions, slowed down, and controlled the rhythm.
Although Palermo recovered a goal before the end of the game, it failed to change the final outcome.
Naples got back on track and performed even stronger in the game.
With Naples' strong recovery.
Their opponents are also starting to take extreme measures to limit Napoli.
Entering February, Naples faced the challenge of relegation team Cesena at home.
Not only did the opponent set up a steel barrel formation, but they were also extremely defensively aggressive.
In the first half of the game, Hao Qiang's attempt to organize an offensive outside the penalty area was blocked by his opponent in every possible way.
The effect is not good.
In the second half, Hao Qiang made a sudden move and went directly into the penalty area to form a double-ghost attack with Cavani.
Because Naples' defense line was secure, it was able to suppress the situation with large numbers of troops.
Continuously carry out aerial bombardment from both wings!
The football kept flying in the sky and crashed into the area in front of Cesena's goal.
Hao Qiang and Cavani ran back and forth to get rid of the defense and look for opportunities to attack.
There was a trembling noise in front of the Cesena Gate. Although the scene was thrilling, the city gate was not lost.
It wasn't until the 82nd minute of the game that Naples launched a wave of offensives that resulted in continuous scoring opportunities.
Cavani's header hit the crossbar and popped out. Hamsik, who came in later, headed the ball towards the goal from the penalty area line.
The result was off the mark.
By some mistake, the football flew to the left side of the penalty area.
Hao Qiang seized the opportunity and took off, then shook his head and sent the ball into the upper left corner of the goal!
Cesena defended tightly and fell short!
When Hao Qiang rushed to the sidelines, Cesena fans and players stared at him with complicated eyes.
The Naples fans once again cheered for Hao Qiang!
The momentum is overwhelming!
"It's Hao Qiang again! It's always Hao Qiang!"
"Naples is making the impossible possible!"
"Who among the top three in the north can compete with Hao Qiang?!"
Mazar felt like water inside, so he immediately started to make substitutions.
I don’t hope there will be any more mishaps in the game.
Now some opponents treat them as a giant, and they don't show dignity at all.
The challenges facing Naples have undoubtedly increased a lot.
This situation not only tests the team, but also requires players to step forward.
As for Hao Qiang, Mazzarri is no longer surprised.
And I think this is what Hao Qiang needs to do of course.
Only when it becomes a habit to step forward at critical moments and save the team more times and more frequently.
Only then can he become a superstar!
Talent goes from top to unique.
This is his path, and no one can help him walk it.
Nor can we help relieve this responsibility and burden.
Cesena's counterattack was very weak.
He even almost got a surprise attack by Cavani.
The final whistle sounded.
Napoli defeated Cesena 1:0.
Teammates took the initiative to high-five and hug Hao Qiang.
The opponent is not strong, but winning the game is full of difficulties.
On the road to the championship, some teams fall behind because they end up losing points in games like this.
But Napoli's final victory filled everyone with confidence and hope.
The schedule is becoming increasingly intensive.
Hao Qiang feels that he has almost recovered after returning from injury.
There will be the Champions League in mid-to-late February, which will make him full of fighting spirit.
Under this background, only Six Golden Flowers asked him to occasionally go for a walk or have a meal to relax. On weekdays, he himself would not relax even for a moment.
Recover, train, read more information about the opponent, study the characteristics of the opponent's defense, etc.
Recharge yourself all the time.
Napoli heads to Milan over the weekend.
Challenge defending champion AC Milan.
Before the game, Allegri said that AC Milan's championship journey is not over yet.
A tribute to Naples.
However, they are not optimistic about Naples' multi-line combat capabilities after the Champions League knockout rounds begin.
"When Napoli wants to be distracted from the Champions League, their experience and personnel team may bring them huge troubles and burdens."
Mazzarri used his strengths and avoided weaknesses before the game.
He is really not qualified to talk about the Champions League.
After all, the lack of experience is well known.
"I'm not thinking about the Champions League at all now. I just want to beat AC Milan at San Siro tomorrow."
Mazzarri responded with a tough tone to Allegri. This is Napoli's attitude.
Don't talk nonsense.
Tomorrow night, I'll kill you!
AC Milan core Ibrahimovic also talked about Hao Qiang before the game.
"He scored a lot of goals in Serie A, but I have seen a lot of players like this in my career. Maybe I won't hear anything about him again soon."
The implication is that Hao Qiang will go downhill.
When Hao Qiang arrived at San Siro with the team and got off the bus, reporters on both sides asked him about Ibrahimovic's remarks against him.
Hao Qiang, who had his hands in his pockets, stopped and asked casually: "How many top league championships has Ibrahimovic won?"
A reporter immediately replied: "Only the five major leagues are counted, so far there are 6. The one in 2006 was cancelled, otherwise it would count as 7."
Hao Qiang asked again: "How many did I take?"
"If you include Ligue 1, there are currently two, plus the Europa League, there are four in total."
Hao Qiang asked again: "How many goals has Ibrahimovic scored in the league?"
"Only counting the five major leagues, there are approximately 130."
"What about me?"
"The French Ligue 1, Bundesliga, and Serie A add up to 90."
"How many goals has Ibrahimovic scored in the Champions League?"
"There are 28 goals in total, and you scored 8. In the Europa League, you scored about 40."
"Last question, how old is Ibrahimovic?"
The reporters hesitated for a moment and then said: "30 years old."
Hao Qiang smiled and passed by, stopped asking questions, and walked towards the inside of the stadium.
Hao Qiang will only turn 23 this summer!
The subtext couldn't be more obvious.
Although the data of 30-year-old Ibrahimovic is not as good as that of 23-year-old Hao Qiang.
But he still has 7 years to catch up.
According to his efficiency, it won't take long before Ibrahimovic may be nothing in front of him.
Hao Qiang can't stand Ibrahimovic's kind of madness.
With the giants winning the league title, I haven't seen any god-level performances in the Champions League.
Juventus, Inter Milan, Barcelona, these giants all have the ability to win the Champions League, but when he played for these teams, let alone the championship, he never even made it to the finals.
Hao Qiang really doesn't want to compare with him.
Doesn't make much sense.
To compete is to compete with the strongest.
What are you arguing with Ibrahimovic?
He is crazy about him, as long as his fans are happy.
It was as if he was living in his own dream.
If he was really that awesome, there would be no chance that before he left, Barcelona won the Champions League, after he left, Inter Milan won the Champions League, and then after he left Barcelona, Barcelona won the Champions League again.
I don’t know if he missed the mark a little bit, or if his fate is incompatible with the Champions League.
Ronaldo doesn't have the Champions League, but he has the World Cup, plus a super goal conversion rate and enjoyment.
If Ibrahimovic said that he wanted to stay in history by relying on a bunch of fairy balls and league championships in unimportant games.
I'm afraid it will lower the competitiveness of this era.
When preparations for the game were about to begin, the starting players of both teams were standing in the tunnel. Ibrahimovic must have been aware of Hao Qiang's conversation with reporters.
He turned back and stared at Hao Qiang with an unkind look, and Hao Qiang looked back at him politely.
"Boy, don't be too crazy. Retiring at the age of 23 would be bad."
Hao Qiang asked back: "You are so good, how could you be kicked out by Barcelona? Oh! You knelt down to lick the defending Champions League champion, but you didn't win the Champions League. As soon as you left, they won the Champions League again! This kind of
It’s a joke that we haven’t seen one in European football for ten years, you are amazing!”
All the Naples generals burst out laughing!
Ibrahimovic instantly became angry and walked towards Hao Qiang.
The referee stood in front of him and scolded: "You don't want to compete anymore, right? Yes, I'll satisfy you. I can let you rest for two months!"
Ibrahimovic's expression changed several times, and then he glared at Hao Qiang with cold eyes.
The starting players of both teams came on stage, and Hao Qiang didn't care about Ibrahimovic's threatening gaze.
The two of them were out of position on the court.
What are you afraid of?
Allegri stood on the sidelines with a sinking look.
In the first half of the league, AC Milan has already lost to Naples away from home.
Returning to the home court requires not only regaining face, but also winning this crucial battle in the standings.
AC Milan had a sluggish start to the season.
Only won one game in 5 league rounds.
But then they went on a strong 11-game unbeaten run, which was not ended until they lost to Inter Milan in a local derby in mid-January.
Now they are 4 points behind Naples, and the gap is not big.
If we can win the game at home today, the gap will be reduced to 1 point.
As the defending champion, AC Milan's current situation makes fans dissatisfied.
But it's not that bad.
Especially seeing that Inter Milan is still behind them, they can finally accept the current situation.
But today, facing the fierce Naples, the fans naturally hope to sink their opponents at home!
Revenge!
It also made Naples understand who is the king of Serie A football.
After the game started, the two teams quickly started an offensive and defensive duel.
AC Milan entered the game quickly at the start, with Robinho and Emmanuelson moving in and out quickly from both sides, trying to find Ibrahimovic with the ball.
Ibrahimovic played with a lot of anger and was a little impatient.
Two consecutive long-range shots blasted the ball directly into the stands.
Naples is getting better after resisting AC Milan's offensive.
The midfield is active.
When the 352 technical and tactical system is in good condition, it can continuously encircle and destroy the opponent's offensive organization, forming continuous fast break opportunities.
Hao Qiang and Cavani's headers in the frontcourt made Thiago Silva and Mexes' mentality explode.
The height advantage and confrontational ability of these two people are a dimensionality reduction blow for some short guards!
Very targeted.
AC Milan happens to be this type of defender.
Seedorf's old age makes AC Milan seem to have fewer players in the midfield when defending.
As a result, Naples can control the ball more and form more frequent attacks.
Abbiati performed well in high passes and defense.
The situation looks bad.
AC Milan's defense shrinks towards the goal.
Naples was destroyed and blocked by successive bombings.
Before the end of the first half, Cavani's shot was blocked by Van Bommel with his body.
Napoli corner kick attack.
Zuniga goes to take the corner kick.
During the attack and defense in the penalty area, as soon as Zuniga's corner kick was taken, Hao Qiang jumped up to fight for the header.
Unexpectedly, Ibrahimovic, who was guarding him, jumped up and hit him hard in the face with his elbow.
Hao Qiang heard the referee's whistle after falling to the ground.
He sat up and spit out blood.
Lost a tooth!
Ibrahimovic happened to be shown a red card by the referee.
Hao Qiang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled instead of getting angry.
"Is this what you are capable of? You are such a pure man! Amazing!"
Ibrahimovic scolded him with a look of disdain: "Your courage is much smaller than your size, coward."
Hao Qiang stood up and said with a smile: "Warrior, you can get out and see how I break AC Milan's goal. I will thank you. This is the opportunity you gave me!"
Ibrahimovic exits.
Hamsik stood in the penalty area and was about to take a penalty kick. Hao Qiang came over and Hamsik withdrew without saying a word.
After the referee blew the whistle, Hao Qiang took a run. At the moment he touched the ball, his seemingly powerful volley turned into a light lob.
The football flew up lightly and crossed a parabola before falling into the middle of the goal.
Abbiati pounced to the right.
I never expected that Hao Qiang, a tall and strong man, would actually kick an artistic spoon penalty!
After Hao Qiang scored the goal, he turned and looked towards the players' tunnel, where Ibrahimovic's back just disappeared.
Hao Qiang shouted loudly: "Thank you, Zlatan!"
The Naples generals ran over and shouted in unison: "Thank you, Zlatan!"
