There was cheers and applause from the fans to the players’ bench in Naples. Appreciate this perfect save by Biagio. However, Biagio didn’t pause to accept the applause and cheers given to him. He immediately got up from the ground and threw the ball with a powerful overhead hand.
Lazio fans looked along the arc of football falling, and they were horrified to find. Domenica’s figure appeared after the ball landed, and the ball was still in the air. Domenica unloaded the ball lightly with a pleasing unloading action that even they couldn’t admire, and then it was natural for Naples fans to start cheering. Because Dominica fought back with the ball! ! ! ! !
And when Qinan quickly launched a counterattack with the ball. There are at least six Lazio players behind him who didn’t return to their own positions because of the attack just now, and only Zalayeta and Zinan themselves have put Naples into attack. As a lone striker, Zalayeta did not return to his own restricted area to defend the set-piece.
Facing the Uruguayan striker who is not very fast and tall and strong like a hippo, Lazio’s defence naturally thought of the method of offside. The three Lazio players who stayed behind tacitly put forward the position at the same time, trying to throw Zalayeta, who was running in the direction of Lazio’s restricted area, behind them before Domenica passed the ball.
However, they once again underestimated Qinan’s ability to grasp the timing of passing the ball. At the moment when Zalayeta and Silvestre passed by, Qinan passed the ball! ! ! ! !
At the moment when Zinan passed the ball, Tito was just half a position ahead of Zalayeta in the final Silvestre and didn’t go offside. Zalayeta single knife
Although Zalayeta is not fast. But it won’t slow down there. So when Silvestre indicated to the linesman that offside was unsuccessful and wanted to catch up, the distance between Zalayeta and him had been pulled to more than ten meters. That gesture to the linesman wasted him a few seconds.
Seeing Zalayeta pants with the ball like a stout rhinoceros, the Lazio fans gave a deafening boo. Trying to interfere with Uruguayans. However, such boos have no effect on Zalayeta, an old man with more than ten years’ competition experience. Zalayeta calmly pulled the ball past the attacking goalkeeper and scored an empty goal.
The moment I saw the ball enter the net. Lazio coach Delio Rossi slumped behind him like a deflated ball, 4-2! ! ! Naples leads 4-2 in total score. This means that Lazio will have to score more than two goals in less than half an hour before they can advance. And Napoli can’t score again. If they score two goals, they will be eliminated because of the away goal.
Three goals? Is it possible? Facing the Napoli team with Dominica and full recovery. Rosie herself thinks this is an unrealistic idea.
However, the Lazio players on the field obviously didn’t give up, and they persisted in attacking with a cross-fire attitude. In the last ten minutes of the game, the Lazio people have completely given up the short pass.
They play high and high in English style, and after getting the ball, they are all direct long pass forwards. However, this style of play is obviously not their style. When they throw away the most handy weapon-short pass infiltration, but try to compete physically with Naples, tragedy appears-the scene is like a Cheng Yaojin who is used to chopping an axe but learns from Dong Fangbubai to fight with an embroidery needle. Anxious mentality has greatly reduced their skills, and Napoli’s defense line is of course more capable of dealing with a group of such Lazio players. The lead of two goals made the Naples players more relaxed, and they turned their feet like walking in the back garden. Lazio players are getting angry when they can’t get the ball, and Napoli seems to be playing with them. Gradually, Lazio players began to grab the ball.
In the eightieth minute, Domic broke Rocchi’s breakthrough in the front of the restricted area. He was about to pass the ball to Domonica not far in front of him, but he didn’t guard against Rocchi’s hook from behind. Rocchi missed the ball. He grabbed the ball and his right foot hit Domic’s support leg. Domic fell to the ground with a cry of pain.
The referee motioned for the stretcher to come in after coming to check Domic’s injury. Judging from Domic’s expression, he couldn’t hold on to the rest of the game. Sharp-eyed Qina saw that Domic’s left ankle was swollen like a radish in a short time.
Leia anxiously walked over to Domic, who was carried out of the stadium, and then asked the team doctor about his injury. Domic’s eyes filled with tears. It seems that it is badly hurt. The intense pain made this man of iron laugh out loud. After a general inspection, the team doctor also indicated that Rhea would be replaced, and Domic certainly couldn’t persist in playing the rest of the game.
Rhea had to. Had to replace Domic with Hamsik. Cannavaro Jr. returned to his central defence position. Hamsik came up and formed a pair of waists with Dommonica.
Tommaso Rocchi’s referee for a tackle behind his back only gave him a yellow card warning. This makes Lazio even more unscrupulous in grabbing the ball.
On the sidelines, Rhea shouted to Neapolitan players not to stick the ball under their feet and try to get the ball out with one foot, which can greatly reduce the probability of Lazio players’ foul. Domic’s injury can make the coach worried to death, if anyone is injured again. Even if Naples wins the game, it will not be worth the loss.
But god is like this. What are you afraid of? It just brings you something. While Rhea was still worried about Domic’s injury, another Neapolitan player was injured. But also a player in the same position as Domic-maldonado.
At the last moment of the game, Megny started to look for Pandev in the penalty area at halftime. maldonado and Pandev jumped at the same time to fight for the header. Both of them fell to the ground at the same time when they lost their balance, but unfortunately, Pandev was really good at pressing on maldonado’s leg under him when he fell down. The Bala people rolled on the ground with their feet in their arms in pain, and the game was forced to be interrupted again.
Seeing maldonado’s painful expression, Rhea on the sidelines kept cursing angrily. Damn it, happiness can’t be double. It never rains but it pours.
The stretcher was carried into the field again, and maldonado’s injury seemed to be not optimistic. After the team doctor checked it, he motioned for Rhea to change again.
The coach ruthlessly gave two feet to the canopy behind him, and there was nothing he could do. There’s really nothing to vent around here, only this canopy is not soft or hard. Shit. Can’t I play eleven with ten? If I change into another one and get hurt again, who am I going to cry to?
Sure enough, in the last five minutes of the game, Naples still played with ten men, and Rhea really didn’t change people. In the last minute of stoppage time, Lazio finally scored a goal, and Rocchi took Pandev’s header and then pushed it to score. However, Rocchi’s goal has not helped. They are still three to four behind in the total score.
A minute later, the referee finally blew the whistle for the end of the game. Although we lost 3-1 away, Naples still made it to the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia. They beat "Biancocelesti" Lazio in the total score. Grab a valuable ticket for the quarter-finals of the Italian Cup.
But after the game, Rhea couldn’t see the slightest happy expression on her face. Don’t blame him, no matter which team’s head coach loses two generals in the defense line in World War I, he will not be happy. The injuries of Domic and maldonado will not be known until they go back for the most detailed examination. The team doctor’s preliminary examination thinks that their injuries are not optimistic.
What should I do? There are still three league games before the winter break, but the only four central defenders in the team have lost two at once. Recently, it’s really a bad year. Players are suspended and injuries come to you together. Originally, Rhea thought that his character finally broke out this season, and the team did not have an injury for the first time in the middle of the season. But I never imagined that there would be two wounded people in just one game.
Leia stood in the noisy Olympic stadium and began to worry about the next league! ! ! ! ! !
Volume III
Chapter one hundred and fifty-four-Amazing good news in marino
Two days after the match between Burroughs and Lazio, Domic and Muldor reported. Domic’s left ankle fracture is estimated to take two months to recover, while maldonado’s is even more serious. His crushed right leg and calf fracture. It is estimated that it will take two to two and a half months to resume training, and it is estimated that it will take longer to participate in the competition.
With these two reports, Rhea can only lament. In the afternoon, he took the two reports to see marino, general manager of Napoli Club. In marino’s office, Rhea asked marino that he hoped to introduce one or two good central defenders who could be used immediately during the winter break.
"Pier, I don’t care what method you use. In short, I hope I can see the central defender I need after the winter break. Look at these two reports. Maldonado and Domic will not play for at least two months. You can’t let me play all the games with two central defenders, can you? If another defender is injured, do you want me to replace him with Domonica? " Rhea’s face was anxious.
Marino bowed his head and looked at the two reports in his hand carefully. After half a ring, he replied: "Ai Du Yaduo, I will try my best to do it. Not only are you in a hurry, but I am also in a hurry. My boss has given me the goal of reaching the top four in the league this year. Now we are in a great situation, and I don’t want to bring trouble to the team because of injuries. I will go to the transfer market tomorrow to see what suitable defenders can be brought in during the winter break. Oh! ! ! No, I’m going to explore it today. " Marino’s repeated assurances reassured Rhea. The coach got up and left, and put his energy into the daily training of leading the team. He can’t help it. The transfer window of Serie A during the winter break has not yet opened, and even if there is a favorite candidate, he can only wait until after the winter break to introduce him.
When they train in the afternoon. When Rhea talked to the assistant coach about it, the assistant coach reminded him: "Boss, maybe we can find one or two available talents from the youth team? Anyway, it is a substitute, and it may not be used in case of emergency! ! ！”
Youth team? That’s a good idea. That’s all we can do now. Rhea thought. However, Rhea didn’t dare to expect anything. He knew the level of youth training in Naples, because the club didn’t pay attention to it. The level of youth training in Naples was far less than that of big-name teams such as Inter Milan and Juventus. Every year, the youth league is ranked at the bottom. You can’t expect to find anything like peerless genius from the youth team. At present, only Biagio in the first team is from the youth team. And Biagio is a goalkeeper.
But after thinking for a long time, Rhea decided to go and have a look. Think of a dead horse as a living horse doctor. Maybe you can really find someone available in the youth team.
The next morning, Rhea came to the youth team with an assistant coach to pick people. The training base of the Naples youth team is not in the city center like the adult team, but a little close to the suburbs. But fortunately, the traffic from downtown Naples to here is fairly developed. Rhea drove his Fiat and took the assistant coach to the youth team training base. They didn’t even notify Orrland, the coach of the youth team.
When they came to the youth training camp, it was just the time when the youth team started training, because they were located in the suburbs. Plus it’s a youth team, so it’s rare to see fans hanging around here. There are even few passers-by on the road outside the base.
This is really a good place for training. Rhea sighed as she parked her car in the parking lot outside the base. Compared with the training base of the adult team, it’s a bit bleak and quiet here. Yes, it is bleak! ! ! There are few pedestrians outside this base except occasional cars passing by, and the nearest residential areas are at least one or two kilometers away from here.
Parked the car and walked into the training base. At the door, Rhea heard shouts from the training ground. Only an old man in his fifties or sixties is watching TV in the guard room of the base. From the corner of the old man’s eye, he saw a stranger coming in, and quickly got up and was about to ask. I opened the door of the guard room and found that the bearer turned out to be the head coach of the club, Rhea.
The old man knows Rhea, and Rhea also knows the old man who is the doorman. His name is Robert. Sandra is a widowed old man who has no children and no wife. He is a die-hard Napoli fan, and has been supporting Naples since childhood, as long as there is a home game in Naples, it never stops. Almost rain or shine for more than fifty years. For this reason, Naples Club rated him as a meritorious fan. This title is similar to those of honorary professors and honorary chairmen, but it also has substantial benefits. That is, he doesn’t have to buy a ticket to watch the ball at Sao Paulo Stadium.
Old Sandra was deeply grateful for the club’s actions, and he volunteered to do something practical for the Napoli club. The club could not help his repeated requests, only to meet his wishes and let him go to the youth team training base to guard the gate and give full play to his residual heat.
"hey! ! Mr. Ai Du Yaduo, what brings you here today? I haven’t seen you in the training base of the youth team for a long time. "Sandra’s wrinkled old face is full of smiles, and his relationship with Rhea has always been good.
"Oh, it’s Robert. How are you recently?" Rhea was not in a hurry to go in and chatted with old acquaintances.
"Well, it’s you, your hair is getting white. We in Naples are really unlucky recently, but you don’t have to be too anxious. After all, we played well this year! ！” Sandra smiled and replied.
"That’s why I’m here today. You know, we lost two central defenders in the last game, so I’m here today to see what the youth team has available." For Sandra, Rhea doesn’t have to hide anything.
"Oh, so you came here today for this. No wonder. Then I won’t bother you. The club is important. I hope you can find the right person among these boys, not to mention that there are really some good prospects in this youth team. " Sandra waved to Rhea and turned back to her job.
Rhea and Sandra waved goodbye and walked slowly to the training ground. At this time, there is a nine-to-nine team training match on the field. Leia didn’t disturb the players on the field. He and assistant coach Nardo stood quietly behind the barbed wire and began to watch the game.
It’s only a training match within the team, but the game on the field is also fierce. The young man is not stingy with his physical strength. Sweating in the scorching sun. After watching it for two or three minutes, a face with the same skin color as Dommonica broke into Rhea’s eyes. It’s not because his skin color is too eye-catching in a group of people, but because his skills make Leia, who has watched countless people, shine at the moment.
I saw him wearing a blue training vest in the frontcourt, and no one could stop him. Look at his position as a striker. The dribbling technique is exquisite, and it has the style of Dominica. Although the figure is not high and the body is a little thin, the explosive speed is not weak. What is even more rare is that the shooting is accurate and the sense of smell in front of the door is extremely sensitive. Just now, he used the speed change to break through and shot hard. After being saved by the goalkeeper, he quickly grabbed the first landing shot. The guards of the first team wearing yellow vests can do nothing about him.
Hmm! ! The youth team has such a good prospect? Rhea secretly speculated while watching.
After watching it for a few more minutes, the boy performed well as usual. Compared with other players, his strength is obviously higher. It is no exaggeration to say that he is fully qualified to play in the senior team competition.
Seeing this, Rhea walked towards Orland, the coach of the youth team who was shouting on the sidelines. Until Rhea patted Orland on the shoulder. The head coach of the youth team reacted. He was a little surprised at the sight of Rhea.
"Head. Why are you free to come over today? Why don’t you call me so that I can pick you up at the door! ! ！” The 40-year-old Orlandi can be said to be a student of Rhea, who once worked as an assistant coach under Rhea for a while. Later, he was arranged by the club to be the head coach of the youth team.
"Let’s see if there are any good prospects, or rather, if there are any good defenders. You should also know the situation of the adult team. Now I only have two authentic centre-backs. So let’s see what the youth team can do today. Oh, by the way, you are the head coach of the youth team. Do you have any suitable candidates to recommend? "
"The right person? Yes, there are two, but there is still some distance from playing the first-class competition. Boss, I don’t want to hide it from you. " Orland wanted to think and replied.
Leia thinks about it and knows that Orland is telling the truth. Just now, he has observed for nearly ten minutes, and he really didn’t see anyone who was particularly eye-catching in the defender position.
"Oh. By the way, the kid in the blue vest and size 13 looks good. What’s his name? Looks like he’s not Italian. It is somewhat similar to Dommonica. " Rhea pointed to the striking striker on the court and asked Orland.
"You mean period? Don’t you know? He was introduced by Domonica through Sabadoni. Also from China, China’s name is Duan Tian. I just turned eighteen this year. The talent is really good. I was a little rough when I first came in, but after four months of systematic training, I made rapid progress. Listen to himself. Domonica is his cousin. And Dominica did come here to see him several times. Because of this relationship, these boys in the youth team regard him as the boss. Because Domenica is also the idol of these boys. You can see that he is also wearing number 13, and he also thinks of himself as Dominica of the youth team. However, he does have the strength to be the boss. In previous years, we almost hovered between the last three in the youth league, but this year, because of him, our league ranking rose to the eighth, and he scored 60% of the team’s goals. Now he ranks second in the youth league scorer list with a goal rate of 12 goals in 14 games. In short, he is a very interesting and nice young man. " Orland said the origin and character of Duan Tian in one breath.
Domonica’s cousin? Is it true that Domenica’s family is a football family? It seems that all the football talents from their home are good. Rhea thought wildly.
"This young man is really good, later you give me his training report on a regular basis. This is a material that can be made. " After chatting with Orland carefully for a few minutes, Rhea was ready to go home. Although I didn’t find a suitable defender, it’s not bad to gain a striker with great potential. Think about it this way, Rhea’s annoyed mood feels a little better.
When he came back from the youth team and heard the news brought to him by marino in the office of marino, general manager of Napoli Club, Rhea’s bored mood was swept away and replaced by inexhaustible excitement and joy.
"Ai Du Yaduo, I think I will bring you a world-class central defender after the winter transfer window opens. Guess who he is?" Marino behind the desk is proud of himself.
"Who let you laugh so get carried away? Maybe it’s one of Nesta Cannavaro Maldini Ferdinand. "Rhea saw marino smile a little too carried away and couldn’t help but hit the road.
"Right, it is indeed one of them." Marino made a snap of his fingers, indicating that Rhea had answered correctly. This time, Rhea was finally surprised. He couldn’t believe that marino could do such a thing in one day. These people are the people that every team coach dreams of! ! ! Anyone thrown into the transfer market will definitely cause a bee robbery! ! !
"Who is it? Can you bring me one of them? " There was a hint of impatience in Rhea’s tone.
"His name is Fabio Cannavaro." Looking at Rhea’s eager face, marino felt a little funny. At this time, Rhea is like a child who wants to get candy from an adult. He couldn’t bear to tease the coach again and told the final answer. As a manager, he may never know the heart of a head coach, and he will never know what a good player means to a coach.
