Naples reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, creating a new history in team history.
De Laurentiis made a bold statement after the game: Naples now represents the whole of Italy!
The Italian media cannot refute this point either.
All other teams were eliminated.
Although Inter Milan once achieved a triple crown two years ago.
But it is undeniable that the presence of Serie A teams in the Champions League has been getting smaller and smaller in the past few years.
Ten years ago, there was the glory of the Derby della Italy in the Champions League final.
Among the top four, the top three Italian teams from the north occupy three seats, standing out from the crowd!
But today, ten years later, the top three in the north have collapsed, and Napoli is the only Italian team to break into the semi-finals of the Champions League.
After entering the semi-finals, Naples is also considered the team with the lowest probability of winning the championship.
When the lottery ceremony was held on Thursday night, Hao Qiang was a guest at Liuduo Golden Flower's home.
The delicious food, good drinks, and attentive service made him feel less like a guest and more like an uncle.
After dinner, we sat on the sofa and watched the UEFA draw ceremony.
Some people poured water and made tea, some brought fruit plates, and some chatted with Hao Qiang.
Hao Qiang was in a state of confusion.
He just wanted to watch the lottery ceremony quietly, but the scene around him made him distracted.
When the lottery results came out, Hao Qiang seemed to hear a burst of cheers erupting in the city!
One after another!
Chelsea vs Barcelona.
Napoli vs Real Madrid!
Countless fans in the city were also paying attention to the draw, and when the results came out, the fans cheered!
It's not because Real Madrid is weak.
But because Real Madrid is strong!
In addition to playing the top three in the north in the local league, Naples certainly hopes to compete with the strong players in the Champions League.
Nine-time champion Real Madrid is of course the opponent they most hope to encounter!
"Hao Qiang, have you been to Madrid?"
Cao Qingqing's words caused her to be ridiculed by other women.
"Oh, I thought you knew Hao Qiang well enough to ask such a question."
"Even Hao Qiang's fans know whether he has been to Madrid."
"Real Madrid is his first stop in Europe."
Cao Qingqing wants to cry but has no tears.
I had nothing to say and wanted to simply chat with Hao Qiang, but ended up asking a stupid question without thinking.
"I missed a few words. I wanted to ask him if he had been to Madrid recently?"
The other girls stared at her with half-smiling faces, making her even more embarrassed.
The more you draw, the darker it gets.
Hao Qiang stood up and said goodbye.
On the way back to the hotel, he recalled every detail of his time at the Real Madrid youth training camp.
There is nothing exciting to remember, but it is an unforgettable journey in his life.
He never regretted going to Real Madrid, nor did he regret being kicked out.
He was very serious about every step he took.
And he also firmly believes that every step counts!
Real Madrid.
Mourinho, Ronaldo, Kaka, Alonso...
The real test has arrived!
The result of the draw sent Spanish media into an immediate climax.
"This season's Champions League final will be staged in El Clasico!"
"The real battle of the century is coming!"
Barcelona and Real Madrid are the favorites to advance to the final.
Whether it is Chelsea, who changed coaches midway, or Naples, who are playing a dark horse role, they seem to have no chance of winning against the real giants.
There was no discussion within the Naples team about the draw results, and everyone acted relatively calmly.
Fans hope to see their outstanding performance and a feast with the giants.
Players will naturally feel pressure.
Everyone is consciously more serious and focused.
The 31st round of the weekend league arrives.
Naples went to Rome as a guest to challenge the Blue Eagle Lazio.
Lazio showed good competitive form at home.
Naples fights on multiple fronts, no matter how serious they are and pay attention to the balance between work and rest.
But it is undeniable that as long as it is a strong team, it will definitely be in better physical condition than them after the Champions League game.
Lazio is ranked 4th in the league, just one place away from advancing to the Champions League.
Naturally, they played very proactively at home, with the goal of grabbing 3 points from the leader.
In the 12th minute of the game, Lazio, who continued to break fast at home, scored Naples' goal through Candreva.
Naples did not immediately catch up, but continued to stabilize its defense.
When Lazio's pace slowed down, Naples began to slowly follow suit.
In the 35th minute of the game, Hao Qiang was organizing an offensive in front of the penalty area and sent a wonderful pass to Hamsik who was advancing forward. When the shooting route was blocked, the latter decisively passed the ball to find Cavani who was running away.
Cavani took a quick shot in front of the small penalty area and sent the ball into the lower right corner of the goal.
Napoli 1:1 Lazio.
Lazio fans are a little depressed.
"Is Naples really that strong?"
"I'd say there's definitely something wrong with Rhaegar's tactics. Why don't you attack when you're ahead?"
"Yes, opponents like Naples must be defeated in one wave and they must not be given a chance to breathe!"
Rega, who is also a contender for the best coach this season, also felt quite regretful on the sidelines.
The Italian coach has similar shackles.
When the score is ahead, you want to control it.
Be impeccable and slowly deal with your opponents.
Very few coaches are able to pursue victory unswervingly.
Even famous coaches are no exception.
The more important the game, the more so.
It's no wonder that fans always criticize Italy's games for being ugly.
Slow tempo and focus on defense.
But now is not a good time for Lazio to change its stance.
Halftime is over.
Naples has gradually gotten better and passed the most difficult stage of the opening period.
After returning to the locker room, the two teams actively made adjustments.
After the start of the second half, Lazio once again launched an offensive frenzy.
In this context, Napoli took the initiative and launched a head-on attack on Lazio.
In the 55th minute of the game, there was a fierce confrontation in the midfield, and Naples won after a stalemate.
Launch a quick attack on the spot.
Hamsik separated, Hao Qiang and Cavani quickly ran forward. Cavani met Macho from close range, and then sent a through ball.
Hao Qiang moved forward and touched the ball in the right rib area of the penalty area before stopping suddenly. He pulled the ball and turned to dodge the press from defender Diakite.
Move the ball toward the center to expand the shooting line and complete the adjustment.
The left foot volleyed into the near corner of the goal and delivered a fatal blow!
The moment the football flew into Lazio's goal, the Naples fans in the away team's stands raised their arms and cheered!
"Reversed!"
"Hao Huang will never disappoint us!"
"We have Hao Huang, why are we afraid of Real Madrid!"
Just when Naples fans thought everything was going smoothly and back on track, Lazio picked up the pace at home and attacked without any retreat.
The more you fight, the braver you become!
After all, they are the fourth-ranked team in the league, and they still produced strong output despite their superior physical strength.
Naples' fast break was stifled by fouls by the opponent.
In the 71st minute of the game, Lazio's troops pressed forward. Although a wave of crosses was not completed, they quickly controlled the placement of the football in the frontcourt.
Quickly launch an attack without changing your posture.
Or a cross.
But this time Rossi's header from the back of the penalty area made it difficult for the Naples defense to defend Mauri who was responding immediately.
And Mauri made an amazing move.
Take off with your back to the goal and then hang the golden hook upside down!
The football flew directly to the upper left corner of the goal.
Lazio fans are going crazy!
"Oh my God! Barb breaks the goal!"
"Mauri is a god at this moment!"
"No matter how awesome Hao Qiang is, can he score a barb like Mao Li?"
Lazio 2:2 Napoli.
Coach Rega was also very excited.
This time he made no more mistakes.
Use hand signals to allow players to continue to maintain offensive intensity.
Naples is in a bit of trouble.
The overall rhythm was suppressed and it was not easy for them to reverse the situation.
Hao Qiang entered the system and opened the warehouse after a long absence.
He glanced back and forth between the nine gold cards.
German gun king, Gerd Muller!
use!
When consciousness returned to reality, Naples was still enduring the fierce offensive from Lazio.
In the 78th minute of the game, Rossi was tripped to the ground while spiking the ball in the penalty area to get rid of Campanaro.
When the defense faces high pressure, it is difficult for the back line not to make mistakes.
Mazari was stunned.
Lazio fans cheered and then held their breath.
I pray that Ledesma, who took the penalty kick, can kill it with one shot!
Ledesma pushed the shot smoothly into the lower left corner of the goal. De Sanctis's prediction was correct but he was unable to save it.
The Olympic Stadium echoed with the crazy cheers and cheers of Lazio fans!
"Hahaha, leading, being reversed, reversed!"
"Naples is too happy too soon!"
"Although it will be cheaper for Juventus, we must step on Naples' corpse to reach the top three!"
Naples fans looked confused.
Suddenly the situation took a turn for the worse, and they were struck like a bolt from the blue.
Hao Qiang stood in the middle circle and clapped his hands. He gestured to his teammates to make the game simpler.
Rhaegar trembled with excitement.
He asked Lazio to strengthen their defense.
At this point in time, it’s absolutely okay to be more conservative.
Mazzarri did not make any substitutions, and Naples' bench was not as thick as it should be.
Naples quickly launched an attack after the kick-off.
The situation reversed.
It was Napoli who launched a counterattack, and Lazio tried their best to stifle their offensive threat.
Hao Qiang and Cavani actively ran in the dangerous area in front of the goal.
Lazio's foul shooting was very effective.
Before the 85th minute, Napoli had not created a single shot.
Naples fans have begun to despair.
If they fail to win the away game today, it is very likely that Juventus will expand their lead!
Then their probability of winning will be greatly reduced.
In the 88th minute of the game, Cavani received Zuniga's cross in the penalty area and headed the ball towards the center of the penalty area.
Hao Qiang retreated and took the initiative to respond, fighting against the stuck position. While unloading the ball with his thigh, he moved forward to the left. When the football fell, Hao Qiang volleyed and shot from the spot!
The football passed through the two Lazio defenders and flew straight to the lower right corner of the goal.
Lazio fans are filled with tears of joy and hatred!
"This Hao Qiang! He is a serious problem!"
"This goal... is as exciting as Mauri's overhead kick!"
"He has already scored 32 goals, why don't he stop yet?"
“The success falls short!”
"I almost defeated Naples at home!"
After Hao Qiang scored, Cavani took the lead to rush into the goal and pick out the ball.
Hao Qiang touched Cavani's head, and then the two of them quickly retreated with the Naples generals.
Race against time.
Rhaegar's mind was confused.
3:2 became 3:3.
Should I give it a try at this time?
He doesn't need to decide.
The Lazio generals on the field were very unwilling!
So they actively launched a fast attack.
Naples did not shrink its defense and stubbornly faced off against its opponents.
The playing style of the two teams at this time does not look like the Italian team.
They are all driven by the desire to win!
In the second minute of stoppage time, Naples launched an attack with a long pass from the backcourt.
Hao Qiang was at the front, making a pass with his back and stopping the ball in his chest, while Diakite was behind him preparing to intercept.
Cavani actively moved to respond, and the Lazio defender immediately blocked it.
But what was unexpected was that Hao Qiang actually picked the ball behind him!
Diakite looked up subconsciously.
After being distracted for a moment, Hao Qiang turned around and rushed past!
A behind-the-back pass!
Hao Qiang broke through Diakite and dribbled forward. Another defender, Radu, rushed to block the line with a shovel.
Hao Qiang was the first to smash the ball and dodge, then changed the track and continued to dribble forward.
Go to the meeting alone!
Goalkeeper Marchetti looked ugly.
Bite the bullet and leave the house.
Hao Qiang swung his leg at the penalty area line to shoot.
Marchetti lowered his center of gravity and prepared to save.
After the football flew out, Marchetti chose one of two options to intercept, but his momentum suddenly plummeted.
He sat down on the ground and looked up at the football flying in the sky!
Lob shot!
Hao Qiang's lob caught everyone off guard!
He is a pure tough guy on the court, but he plays the game more carefully than anyone else!
It's as if four ounces are used to push a thousand catties, and softness is used to overcome hardness.
The entire audience was slightly absent-minded.
Watch the football draw a light and graceful parabola in the air before falling into Lazio's goal!
Lazio fans shook their heads and collapsed!
Gritting my teeth and getting angry!
"This bastard won't even give us a single point!"
"My horse is about to burst when I step on it. Five minutes ago we were in the lead!"
"The grandson shot us three times! Hat trick!"
"Isn't he a Warcraft? Is this a lob that a Warcraft can do?"
On the contrary, the Naples fans were so excited that they jumped up and down in the visiting team's stands.
“God has appeared!”
"Sure enough, sure enough, I have already said that God's name is Hao Qiang!"
"Your Majesty Hao Huang, please accept the knees of my family!"
Hao Qiang scored a wonderful lob and then turned and rushed directly towards Cavani. The two big men hugged each other while roaring at each other!
Other Naples players also rushed over one after another.
Mazzarri was a little nervous.
There have been 7 goals in this game.
He was afraid that something would happen again.
So substitutions were made immediately to strengthen the defense.
On the field, the Lazio generals had their hands on their hips and were filled with anger!
This is a score that they cannot accept no matter what.
Quickly launch a strong attack after the kick-off.
Naples took strict precautions and launched sniper interceptions.
The final whistle sounded, and Lazio was in disgrace at home!
Napoli won a crucial victory!
Hao Qiang took a deep breath.
He clenched his hands into fists and vibrated slightly, gritted his teeth and let out a low growl before completely relaxing.
Whether the audience cheered him or hated him, they couldn't take their eyes off him.
He was targeted with cameras by reporters on the sidelines.
Step by step towards the players tunnel.
The Italian media had only one sentence to comment on Hao Qiang after the game: A god walking in the Apennines!
