Hamsik and Cavani have been working together for a year.
They are similar in age and have similar temperaments, and the two of them work together well on the court.
When he saw Cavani stuck in position and taking off slightly, he guessed Cavani's next move, so he didn't stop the ball and directly headed towards Cavani's header.
Back to Cavani.
The Uruguayan center stood at the intersection between the left side of the top of the arc and the penalty area line. He did not turn around after landing, but got stuck in position.
When Hamsik headed the ball back, he immediately turned around, raised his right foot in mid-air and stopped the ball to his left rear. After completing the turn, he suddenly accelerated and chased after him, at the penalty spot.
He caught up with his stoppage nearby and shot straight away.
A bang was heard at the scene, and Cavani's shot hit the ball directly.
The football shot towards Udinese's goal like a bolt of lightning.
Goalkeeper Chimenti, who had just saved Cavani's header, failed to leave the goal in time this time. As soon as he rushed to the small penalty area, he saw Cavani kicking the goal. He immediately landed on the ground to save, but he was already slow.
One step forward.
The football went straight to Udinese's goal.
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!”
"Only fourteen minutes into the game, Napoli took the lead in breaking through Udinese's goal, one to zero!"
"This is a powerful volley from Uruguayan center Edinson Cavani. Hamsik sent a wonderful header pass, which was just right. Cavani's stop was also beautiful."
"I have to say that this Uruguayan center is not only tall and strong, but also has good footwork. He is very good at stopping the ball with his foot."
"The Napoli center forward scored his second career Serie A goal."
"Scoring goals in two consecutive games, Cavani's performance left a deep impression on people."
"Naples also relied on this goal to jump to third place in the league in the real-time standings!"
…
After Gao Shen saw Cavani score, he clenched his fists in excitement.
He has been waiting for goals because he has enough confidence in his team's offense.
Udinese's two central defenders are indeed Mavericks in FM Football Manager. Even Gao Shen basically bought them when he played this game before. It can be said that he couldn't put it down. However, these two players really didn't.
Kick it out.
Strictly speaking, it did not meet everyone's expectations.
But right now, these two are indeed outstanding Mavericks.
It's a pity that they met the sophisticated Naples!
Gao Shen turned around, high-fived his assistants one by one, then turned around again and continued to look at the court, indicating that the players should actively press forward and continue to exert pressure on Udinese.
"Let me see how much strength you can bring out!"
When the players finished celebrating and walked back to the court, a high-pitched voice shouted to them.
The players also turned around one after another, clenched their fists towards Gao Shen, and made a sign of agreement.
…
The game starts again.
After Naples scored a goal, their morale was high and the team's fighting spirit was obviously stronger.
After Udinese scored a goal, they were somewhat in chaos.
Marino kept directing the team from the sidelines, indicating that they should stabilize, but under Naples' repeated attacks, Udinese's defense still had problems again and again.
Facts have once again proved that if you don't have enough strength to play against Naples, it will really light up the toilet.
Just over seven minutes had passed since the goal, and Naples got a corner kick opportunity from the left side of the frontcourt.
When Di Maria forced a breakthrough pass, he was blocked by the opponent's right back Messito.
Naples quickly took a tactical corner kick. Di Maria and Vargas tried to cooperate on the left, but failed. Vargas was forced to pass back to the defense in his own half.
David Luiz and Bonucci were at the deepest position of the team. After receiving the ball, they quickly dribbled the ball past the center line.
At this time, there was nothing behind Naples' two central defenders, except for goalkeeper Handanovic near the penalty spot in the penalty area.
Marino saw this scene in front of the home team's coaching bench and how much he hoped that the trident in front could quickly grab the ball and quickly counterattack. With Udinese's personal ability in the frontcourt, as long as the counterattack is executed,
Definitely a chance to score.
This is not just Marino's desire, Udinese players also think so.
As a result, their frontcourt began to press forward, and the overall formation also began to press forward.
You can't always be beaten by Naples like this, right?
This is too passive, and the defense line will be broken if you are not careful.
When Quagliarella rushed toward David Luiz, Flores also put pressure on Vargas, trying to pressure Napoli's backcourt and intercept David Luiz's ball route.
It's best to force him to scramble and create a steal.
But Brazilians are Brazilians.
David Luiz originally dribbled the ball to the left. After seeing Flores pressing towards Vargas, he suddenly stopped and turned around. Before Quagliares could come over, he blocked Quagliare with his body.
Between the ball and the ball, stop the ball with your right foot and then pass it.
When Bonucci ran over, he glanced ahead.
Udinese's entire defense was pressing forward, which in turn led to gaps behind them.
Di Maria always stayed close to the left sideline, and there was no defensive player around him.
Damn it, who are you looking down on?
This thought flashed into Bonucci's mind.
Do you really think that Naples only has David Luiz?
As soon as the Italian central defender stopped the ball, he made a slight adjustment and made a long pass.
The football once again flew over half of the field and landed on the empty left side of the frontcourt.
After Di Maria stopped the ball with his chest, he saw Zapata and the opponent's right back running over. He rushed the ball to the left side of the penalty area and suddenly passed the ball back between the two defensive players to the front of the penalty area.
I saw Hamsik running over, catching the ball and facing Inler, pulling horizontally, adjusting with small steps to catch up, and raised his right foot to hit a curve ball.
From stopping the ball to adjusting to volleying with his right foot, the whole process was done in one go, without giving Inler any time to react.
The ball drew a beautiful arc and entered the upper right corner of Naples' goal.
Chimenti made a flying save, but still could not prevent the goal.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!"
"Two to zero!!"
"In the 21st minute, Naples wins again!"
"Goal from Hamsik, temporarily leading 2-0!"
Hamsik rushed out of the stadium and danced on the edge of the stadium to celebrate the goal.
Behind him, Naples players rushed to catch up one by one.
Who would have thought, no one would have thought, that Naples would score two goals in less than ten minutes!
…
The moment Hamsik scored, Gao Shen raised his head and closed his eyes.
He heard the boos coming one after another in the stadium, which was a protest from Udinese fans.
He also heard Marino's roar in front of the home team's coaching bench, which was his incompetent rage.
He even heard the assistants behind him cheering for the goal.
Everyone knows that the second goal almost seals the victory.
But this is not enough!
Gao Shen looked directly at the court again, opened his eyes, and his eyes became sharp again.
The knife he sharpened only scored two goals?
He signaled the team to continue pressing forward and maintain pressure on Udinese.
On the court, all Naples players saw Gao Shen's gestures and expressions, and they all felt Gao Shen's determination and fighting spirit, that is, to continue attacking!
He wanted to see how powerful Naples' attack power was!
At the same time, he also wants to let all Serie A teams know the price of playing against Naples!
Therefore, Naples players are still running, covering and pressing in a wide range, and they are constantly creating opportunities.
After Udinese scored two goals in a row, they began to worry about gains and losses, and the team's position was also disrupted.
The most typical phenomenon is that when receiving the ball, Naples presses it slightly and immediately passes it back.
On the other hand, Napoli's morale was greatly boosted and they frequently pressed into Udinese's penalty area.
Head coach Marino kept calling on the players to go forward, go forward, and go forward.
But there is no way, Napoli's pressing pressure is too strong, and they can't find a suitable route for the ball. How to move forward?
Directly pass forward with a big foot?
Didn’t the ball still fall at the feet of Napoli?
Besides, you can’t just blindly open your arms, right?
When the game progressed to the 37th minute, Naples made an attack. After Sanchez turned around to receive the ball, he turned and shot furiously. The angle was too direct and the intensity was not high. He was firmly blocked by goalkeeper Chimenti.
But Naples quickly put in the pressure, leaving Chimenti helpless. He couldn't find a suitable route for the ball, and was forced to throw the ball to central defender Felipe, who then passed it to Zapata, and then passed it to the right, but
Di Maria is already coming.
Messito saw Cavani near Zapata and did not dare to pass the ball to the central defender. He directly passed the ball back into the penalty area to find the goalkeeper.
But when Cavani saw it, he immediately rushed into the penalty area and headed straight for goalkeeper Chimenti.
"Napoli's pressing was so tight that they didn't even let go of the goalkeeper."
"Look at Chimenti..."
As soon as Chimenti stopped the ball, Cavani was already approaching. He was so frightened that he quickly took a step forward and passed the ball to the Brazilian left back Siqueira who ran back from the left to receive the ball.
But before the ball arrived, Sanchez, who had just had his shot blocked, suddenly jumped out from behind Siqueira, took the lead and poked the ball back into the penalty area.
Sanchez's kick was a bit strong, and Cavani rushed over from the penalty area, but when he saw Sanchez catching up without slowing down, he immediately slowed down and handed the ball to Sanchez.
After the Chilean winger caught up, he took out a shot that hit the ground without stopping the ball.
The ball almost went in a straight line from the side of goalkeeper Chimenti and into the Udinese goal behind him.
Three to zero!
The entire stadium instantly became silent.
The first half is not over yet, Udinese has already conceded three goals in a row!
Everyone clearly felt Napoli's terrifying attacking firepower, especially under this suffocating high-pressure pressure.
In front of the home team's coaching bench, Marino's hands suddenly hovered in the air, as if they were being tapped.
At this moment, he suddenly understood why Cagliari and other teams chose to defend tightly when facing Naples.
