Benitez's three midfielders today are not the usual three midfielders. They are not three purely offensive midfielders, nor are they two central midfielders paired with a defensive midfielder, but three pure defensive gates!
Bifulco, the strongman of the Italian national youth team, Gargano, the Uruguayan midfielder, and the bald Inler who used ruthless tricks on Wolfsburg fans, all three of them are absolutely ruthless.
All media predictions were wrong. Naples' real tactical core, Slovakia national team captain Hamsik, sat directly on the bench.
Benitez directly built a wall in the middle of the midfield, and he was very low-key today. The Naples midfielder retreated 30 meters from the front of the penalty area. Yi Zhe took the ball in the middle circle, thinking that the opponent would come to press him.
He was all ready, but when he looked up, he saw that the nearest Gargano was ten meters away from him.
Yi Zhe is no longer a rookie. He knows what to do just by taking a look at the opponent's formation.
"Let's do it!"
He directly greeted his teammates, but instead of pressing forward with the ball, he passed the ball long to the left side of the frontcourt.
"Yizhe! Calm pass!"
Yi Zhe will not blindly press forward and let the opponent dig out from behind him to counterattack. In this situation, there is no better choice than to be an honest midfield commander.
Perisic took the ball on the left and tried to pass the Naples defender Faozhi Ghoulam in front of him, but he just left the opponent behind, when Ghoulam suddenly made a shovel from behind.
He raised his spikes and swept them towards Perisic's calf.
"oh--"
"Ouch——"
This was quite a visual impact. Perisic, a majestic man of 1.86 meters, suddenly fell to the ground like a wooden stake.
"Faozhi Gulam! This must be intentional harm! Damn it, someone actually dares to bully Wolfsburg!"
Spanish referee Matteo quickly came over and showed Gulam a yellow card, but this obviously could not stop the anger of Wolfsburg fans from spewing out.
The fans in the stadium were in a roar, and almost everyone jumped up and pointed directly at the away team's fan area.
"Damn old Italian! Do you know where this is?"
"I should teach you a lesson! Boys, the wolf's den is not a place for pigs like you to run wild!"
However, hundreds of Naples fans in the visiting team's fan area were not afraid at all. They held light blue flags and collectively raised their middle fingers at the Wolfsburg fans.
"Sissies, if you can't afford to lose, don't play!"
"Hahaha! Come on! You wolves, I'm waiting for you here!"
If you change a group of people, you will definitely be cowardly, but today it is Naples fans who come to play. If we want to talk about fierce fighting in Europe, this group of fans definitely has the most historical heritage, even compared to the famous "Hammer Gang" in England.
Not to mention too much.
Seeing that the situation in the stands became chaotic and there were signs of losing control on the field, Perisic was fine, but he got up from the ground and grabbed Gulam behind him.
"Boy! Did you do it?!"
Several Wolfsburg players immediately gathered around him. Gulam knew he was in the wrong and quickly stepped back, shrugging his shoulders and blinking at Perisic.
Fortunately, the referee team intervened in time to stop the conflict, and Yi Zhe seized the opportunity and ran over. The situation just developed too suddenly. When he reacted, two groups of people had already surrounded him. Now he finally had a chance to speak.
"Yin Wan, you will lose if you compete with them." Yi Zhe tried to stop him.
But Perisic obviously lost his temper, and gritted his teeth and replied fiercely: "Yi, I hope you can say the same when they treat you like this."
"hehe!"
Yi Zhe just smiled. He took the initiative to give up possession of the ball in the frontcourt to De Bruyne. He watched Ding Ding send a scalpel-like direct pass behind the opponent's defense. He just dominated the ball near the arc of the center circle.
, he is still afraid that his opponent will not come forward!
But the opponent defended deeply in the backcourt, and the situation reached a deadlock soon after the opening. Bendtner had no room to use his speed. Today, the central defender he faced was Real Madrid central defender Albiol, and there was a ruthless man.
Brittos.
The two worked together to close the door to defend. Albiol got stuck in his position and overturned Bendtner. The two central defenders worked together to defend, but the other central defender Britos reached out and grabbed Bendtner's neck very covertly. Unexpectedly,
It doesn't matter if the whole person is knocked down, any possibility of shooting is eliminated!
The whole audience erupted in exclamations, and almost all Wolfsburg fans stood up and looked at Spanish referee Mateu.
The referee did not point to the 12-yard penalty kick, but only added a yellow card to Brittos during the next dead ball situation.
"Ouch——"
"Ouch——"
Bendtner was so furious that he, who didn't usually cause trouble, chased the referee to ask for an explanation, and even started to pull on the referee's clothes.
"Mr. Referee, did you see it? He was choking my neck! Just like this..."
His action was extremely dangerous. Fortunately, the referee was still good-tempered and just turned around and showed him a yellow card.
When Yi Zhe saw the referee showing the yellow card, he rushed up and pulled him away.
"Nick, do you know what you are doing? Look who you are challenging!"
Bendtner obviously got excited and stared.
"That guy was just like this..." Bendtner made a very professional strangulation action. I don't know which movie he learned it from, and then angrily yelled at Yi Zhe: "Fuck him
Damn it! I don’t need to calm down, I hope you can stay calm in this situation!”
Less than ten minutes into the game, things started to change. Gustavo also started to attack Gargano, who was half a head away from him defensively, plowing his opponent down like a plow.
However, this decisive action did not stop Naples from counterattacking. Bald Inler dribbled the ball forward quickly and saw it all the way to the edge of the penalty area.
At the critical moment, Yi Zhe ran back to make up the position in time to block the opponent's long shot, using his body to block the eye-catching shot.
"Yi! Key defense!"
Yi Zhe stood up and prepared to launch a counterattack. His passing has never been sloppy, but this time before the ball was released, Yin Le stretched out his legs and stepped on his feet. Yi Zhe was just about to speed up to get rid of it, but the speed of this step was only
When he got up, his whole body rushed forward quickly due to inertia, giving people a visual impact as if he was thrown out and fell by Yin Le's kick.
"Yi! These damn guys! How dare they attack Yi!"
"Yi Zhe... Yinle didn't mean to hold back his kick at all. Is this Naples' current style? Is this Benitez's tactics?" He Wei was worried and angry.
The surrounding teammates once again gathered around, this time almost everyone came to the scene of the incident, and even the bench started throwing towels, but only Bendtner and Perisic were a few steps slower.
Yi Zhe had been persuading them just now, but now he wanted to see what they should do.
