When Naples challenged Lazio away from home, Chen Yingxiong undoubtedly appeared in Naples' starting lineup. As the starting center, he stood in the center circle with a football at his feet.
Napoli got the kick-off.
Not far across from him is his compatriot and national team teammate Ji Ming.
In fact, the private relationship between the two is quite good, because they are the two youngest people in the national team, and they live in the same dormitory in the national team, so their relationship is naturally better.
But at this time, there is not so much friendship left.
Chen Yingxiong wants to defeat Ji Ming and defeat Ji Ming's Lazio!
The referee blew the whistle, Chen Yingxiong knocked the football forward gently, and the game officially started!
※※※
After the game started, Chen Yingxiong seemed very active. As a tall and powerful center, he gave full play to his role.
In the offense, he does not necessarily have to score immediately. He can rely on his physical advantage to hold the football, and then wait for his teammates to come up to meet him and cooperate with them.
This is his task in midfield.
When he is at the edge of the penalty area, his strategy changes.
Not only can he hold the football and wait for his teammates to come up to respond, he can also directly post up on his own - as a powerful center, such an ability is still necessary.
Chen Yingxiong is indeed very strong. Otherwise, why would he be called the "Giant Bear of the North" by Zenit St. Petersburg fans?
This nickname fits Chen Yingxiong's characteristics very well.
He is like a giant bear on the court.
If you just look at his body shape, you will find that he is very different from most other players. The other players next to him are just like the difference between giants and ordinary people.
He is 1.91 meters tall and weighs 88 kilograms. Such body proportions make him very powerful.
When he picked up the ball with his back, even Jose Passarella couldn't do anything to him.
Of course, Jose Passarella was not a player known for his physical fitness to begin with, and as he got older, his physical fitness became even worse.
But Chang Sheng still asked him to deal with Chen Yingxiong.
Because compared to Campoli, he has more experience and has better defensive skills and awareness.
Use his experience and technology to fight against Chen Yingxiong's body.
In addition, Campoli was waiting for an opportunity on the side, and other Lazio players were ready to surround the giant bear at any time.
※※※
At the beginning, Jose Passarella had a very difficult time fighting against Chen Yingxiong. He had never fought against Chen Yingxiong before, and this was his first time. He lacked understanding of this man.
Twice, Chen Yingxiong pushed Jose Passarella away with a push of his butt, then turned around and ejaculated!
Fortunately, Ter Stegen was focused, reacted quickly, and fell down holding the football in his arms, otherwise it might have been a dangerous situation in front of the goal.
However, Jose Passarella also realized through these two failed defenses Chen Yingxiong's usual method of post-up singles.
Just stick your butt out!
This kid is still too young, so his post-up methods are relatively simple.
Just rely on his physical advantage to squeeze hard.
As long as you have skills and experience, it's not difficult to guard against him.
Soon Chen Yingxiong tried the power of Jose Passarella.
When he once again took the ball with his back and planned to hit Jose Passarella who looked very thin, he failed!
He thrust his butt back, but it was empty!
At the same time as he was in the headspace, he also lost control of the football. Because the center of gravity had changed, he could not change it immediately.
So when he saw a leg stretching out from behind, and then lightly knocking the ball away from his feet, he was stunned - how did the opponent do this?
Of course he didn't know. Jose Passarella had been observing him, observing what actions he would make before he was about to stick his butt out, and then giving an early warning based on this action.
As long as you see Chen Yingxiong showing this action, you will know that he is going to stick his butt out.
Then he quickly dodged to the side and let Chen Yingxiong pout the ball in the air. At the same time, he also lost control of the football. At this time, he went around to defend and poked the football away. For Jose Passarella
, very relaxed.
※※※
Seeing that Jose Passarella successfully defended Chen Yingxiong for the first time in this game, the commentator also shouted: "Beautiful! Jose Passarella's defense is very clean! With his flexible body
In front of him, Chen Yingxiong really looks like a stupid bear!"
Jose Passarella, who stole the ball, sent the ball away directly. Then he ran forward again, and Lazio's defense also moved forward as a whole.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Yingxiong was thrown behind them and was in an offside position.
Only then did Chen Yingxiong react. He ran back quickly, while keeping his eyes on Jose Passarella.
He still didn't understand how the opponent knocked his ball away.
※※※
Naples' offense encountered a little setback, but this did not affect Naples' determination to attack. Thanks to their Chen Yingxiong who can get the ball in the frontcourt, they started an offensive battle against the ever-winner Lazio in the away game!
This takes a lot of courage.
Before this, no team had ever dared to play against Lazio at Lazio's home ground, because in the end they would all die miserably, very miserably.
When challenging Lazio in an away game, the best way is to shrink the defense and try not to concede a single goal. A 0:0 would be a great victory.
Naples head coach Cannavaro took a different approach and chose an unexpected tactic.
Of course, he did this because there was a center who could take the ball in the frontcourt, otherwise he would not have dared. At least in the previous seasons, his Naples had never dared to play against Lazio away from home.
Offensive.
Chen Yingxiong can get the ball in the frontcourt, and other Naples players can press forward boldly.
If it were another center forward, it is very likely that Lazio's defenders would cut him off and then quickly counterattack. Then his own players would just run up and the defense would be completely blank.
※※※
After Chen Yingxiong was intercepted by Jose Passarella, he did not learn his lesson. On the contrary, he continued to compete with Jose Passarella.
Taking the ball and hitting Jose Passarella in isolation time and time again.
Jose Passarella used his experience, skills, and awareness to defend Chen Yingxiong, and actually gained the upper hand!
At first, everyone was looking forward to Chen Yingxiong's battle with Lazio, but now they find that he is trapped to death by a thirty-nine-year-old veteran!
This is really shocking!
There is a full twenty years difference between the two of them!
In a foreign country where one can become a father at the age of eighteen or nineteen, it is not an exaggeration to say that Jose Passarella is old enough to be Chen Yingxiong’s father!
Chen Yingxiong had no intention of taking a detour, so he continued to challenge Jose Passarella. It seemed that he would not give up until Jose Passarella was completely defeated.
Cannavaro was very dissatisfied with Chen Yingxiong's behavior on the sidelines. He kept waving his arms and shouting loudly, reminding Chen Yingxiong not to do this.
However, Chen Yingxiong ignored him on the court and still went his own way.
Chang Sheng, who was on the sidelines, couldn't help laughing after seeing this scene.
Before the game, the media praised Chen Yingxiong very much, as if he could defeat Lazio's defense alone.
Chang Sheng admitted that Chen Yingxiong is a very capable player.
But Chen Yingxiong is still too young after all, and his lack of experience and impulsiveness are his biggest weaknesses.
His personality is too strong, and sometimes he tends to get into trouble.
Chang Sheng believed that as long as Jose Passarella could entangle Chen Yingxiong for a while, he could make Chen Yingxiong lose his cool. It would be much easier to make Chen Yingxiong lose his cool.
Facts have proved that it is indeed true.
Although he has never coached Chen Yingxiong or been in contact with Chen Yingxiong, Chang Sheng does not know Chen Yingxiong.
As a Chinese, he knows a lot about the Chinese players who have performed well on the European continent, and even more about the top performers.
In addition, he has Ji Ming by his side. Ji Ming and Chen Yingxiong are friends, so it is not too difficult to find Ji Ming to find out something about Chen Yingxiong.
So Chang Sheng decided on such a battle plan to freeze Chen Yingxiong.
Trying hard to stimulate Chen Yingxiong, making him lose his mind and fall into endless entanglement with Jose Passarella.
The only problem with this tactic is whether the thirty-nine-year-old Jose Passarella can withstand it.
After all, this is not something that happens once or twice. The head-to-head confrontation between him and Chen Yingxiong will definitely last a whole game.
So far, Jose Passarella's performance is quite good.
He did not compete physically with Chen Yingxiong, but used softness to overcome strength, preventing Chen Yingxiong from exerting his greatest advantage.
So Chang Sheng said before that with Jose Passarella's condition, he can still play at the top level for at least three seasons. It would be a pity if he retired now.
※※※
Cannavaro was so angry when he saw Chen Yingxiong challenging Jose Passarella in a one-on-one match on the court.
He really wanted to replace this wild bear, but he couldn't do it.
Because Chen Yingxiong is now the center in Naples who is in the best shape and can score the most goals. If it is other games, it is absolutely impossible for him to replace Chen Yingxiong in the game with Lazio. As long as Chen Yingxiong stays on the court, Naples will
There is a chance to beat Lazio away from home.
So Cannavaro had to endure Chen Yingxiong's bad habits.
Cannavaro knew this very well when he became his head coach.
The so-called geniuses all have some quirks, and Chen Yingxiong also has many problems. But think about his goals, Cannavaro has tolerated all these problems...
A good coach must learn to tolerate his players' shortcomings and fully explore their strengths.
Cannavaro hopes that Chen Yingxiong can prove that he is an excellent head coach.
He is also working hard in this direction. When Chen Yingxiong first arrived in Italy and was not in good condition and could not adapt, it was actually the two of them trying to compete with each other.
In the end, someone has to compromise.
So Cannavaro compromised. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
