Green Journey

Chapter 111
On the sidelines, Naples coach Benitez was also frightened by the sudden linkage of the two cores of Wolfsburg, De Bruyne and Chu Zheng, and his heart was beating non-stop.

From before the game to just now, Benitez always thought that he had analyzed Wolfsburg very thoroughly.

As a result, he did not expect that he still missed the ability of the post-66 central defender of Wolfsburg to play the ball, vision and game reading.

Withdrawing his gaze from De Bruyne, Benitez looked at the back of Chu Zheng who was strolling back to the backcourt.

Benitez heard the German sentence that Chu Zheng yelled just now because he was right next to him.

Benitez knew a little German, so the moment Chu Zheng shouted, he was very panicked.

Fortunately, the midfielder of Wolfsburg did not choose to hand the ball to Dorst on the right side of the top of the arc just now, otherwise it would be really bad.

Benitez in Italy has also heard about Chu Zheng, whose reputation is gradually spreading in Europe.

And recently, because of studying Wolfsburg's tactical system, he has a better understanding of Chu Zheng.

In Benitez's eyes, Chu Zheng's progress was so fast that it shocked him.

From a simple defensive center back to a ball center back, Chu Zheng only spent most of the season, and his growth trajectory is very clear in the game video.

If he hadn't left Naples after coaching this season, Benitez would definitely suggest that the club's top management buy the young central defender.

Too bad he's leaving Italy!

On the field, Wolfsburg is still intermittently attacking the Naples goal.

However, although the Naples players looked a little thrilling in dealing with Wolfsburg's various attacks, they were actually not in danger.

The game has been played for 15 minutes, and Naples' tactical intentions are very obvious, which is to defend and counterattack quickly.

In the 16th minute of the game, Naples ushered in its first threatening attack in the first half.

Kalijuli's advance to the right was blocked. He spiked the ball and moved laterally, and then suddenly moved laterally with a low pass.

But his pass made it difficult to tell whether it was going to De Bruyne in the center or Rodriguez on the left.

The trajectory of the ball rolling is that De Bruyne and Rodriguez are incompatible,
Rolling behind De Bruyne in the middle, Callejon, who realized the opportunity and turned forward, picked up a positive one.

The moment Callejon touched the ball, he stabbed directly to Higuain in the center circle, and then moved diagonally to the right.

Higuain received the ball and seeing Rodriguez retreating early, Chu Zheng pushed forward directly.

So he couldn't send the ball to Callejon for a side-to-side combination of two and one. Instead, he led out of the center circle along the center line, and then passed Callejon straight forward.

Naples' counterattack was very fast this time, and it hit the 30-meter area of ​​Wolfsburg's penalty area in just two or three seconds.

Rodriguez followed Callejon with the ball in the half, and he wanted to slow down Napoli's counterattack.

Chu Zheng was chasing Higuain just now with his legs running fast along his ribs.

On the right side of Chu Zheng is Naples right defender Ma Qiao, who is advancing side by side with Chu Zheng.

But after entering the right rib area at the top of the arc, Chu Zheng, who had already rushed behind Rodriguez, suddenly ran diagonally towards the middle of the left penalty area.

At the same time, Callejon played the ball, and he kicked the ball from the upper right corner of the penalty area into the Wolfsburg penalty area.

At the moment of passing the ball, Macho quickly passed behind Rodriguez, who had his back to the top of the arc.

Naples' two-on-one pass this time directly killed Rodriguez, who was strong in attack and weak in defense.

In the right line of Wolfsburg's penalty area, before Macho caught up with the ball, Naldo in the middle also slapped him behind him.

At this moment, Ma Qiao suddenly raised his right foot in front of the ball, and knocked the ball back with his heel.

This extremely sudden movement made Nardo miss the air, and the ball whizzed past his feet.

Meanwhile, Hamsik outflanked the penalty spot.

Higuain is on the end line of the penalty area on the right side of the top of the arc.

Whoever gets the ball will face Benalio directly.

Under the eyes of everyone, the ball rolled obliquely towards Hamsik at the penalty spot.

When Hamsik saw the ball coming, he felt ecstatic in his heart, and the frequency of his feet could not help but speed up a little.

Almost instantly he made a plan after receiving the ball, he was ready to shoot at the ball, and he had sufficient confidence in his shooting skills.

Then in the next second, Cheng Yaojin came out halfway.

Chu Zheng appeared on the passing line with a swish, and kicked the ball into the stands.

"Oh!!!!!!!!!!!"

In the stands on all sides, the Wolfsburg fans, whose hearts fell into their stomachs in an instant, let out a collective cheer with infinite joy. Everyone shook up the green scarves in their hands, and the drums were loud.

On the sidelines, Dieter Heiking applauded with a smile on his face.

Benitez next to him was expressionless, but he could see annoyance from those old eyes.

"Napoli's attack is too fast this time, especially Macho's magical heel, which is extremely concealed and sudden."

"He was very lucky and successfully passed the ball in the pinch between Naldo and Rodriguez."

"As for Chu Zheng, his defense this time is perfect."

"Because in this return defense, Wolfsburg's defense line and midfield line are out of touch!"

"Let Hamsik and Higuain hit the door directly!"

"After Chu Zheng saw Nardo rushing to the right side of the penalty area, he was keenly aware of the disconnection of the two defensive lines in the midfield, so he released Macho to Naldo, and he himself moved to the center. "

"It turned out he was just in time for that magical backheel pass from Marjorie."

"This is Chu Zheng's characteristic. He has a strong sense of crisis on the court!"

"And Chu Zheng's robbing position is also very subtle. His interception point is at the intersection of the extension line in front of Hamsik and Higuain, so as long as Ma Qiao can pass the ball, it doesn't matter if he Whoever it is, Chu Zheng will be able to intercept it immediately."

After analyzing it, Zhang Lu was amazed.

Because Chu Zheng's thinking is too clear, his defense this time is equivalent to doing the work of Gustavo, Jilavoji and others' midfielders.

Soon, Callejon was ready to send the right corner.

At the penalty spot, there were as many as ten players from Wolfsburg and Naples.

The moment Callejon kicked off, the Naples players immediately moved with a clear division of labor.

Some ran forward, some went backward and drilled in the middle, and the Wolfsburg players were instantly torn apart.

At the front of the small penalty area in the middle, the 190 tall Naples right center back Albiol found no one around him. He thought his corner kick tactic of fishing in troubled waters was successful.

So he took two steps back to meet the ball and took off to compete for the top.

He has full confidence in hitting this ball!

However, after taking off in the next second, Albio, who subconsciously closed his eyes and headed the ball, did not wait for the ball.

Realizing that something was wrong, Albio opened his eyes and looked up, and then he saw that there was another head on top of him.

At this moment, the pupils of Albio, who experienced Chu Zheng's jumping ability for the first time, shrank fiercely, showing shock in his eyes.

His jumping ability is considered excellent among all the central defenders in Serie A. In addition to his height of 190, he couldn't jump Chu Zheng who was around 183, which made him unbelievable.

On the sidelines, seeing Chu Zheng's elastic jump for the first time, Benitez was also amazed.

"I buy Karma! It should be 70CM, right?" Benitez muttered to himself.

He felt that Chu Zheng's jump this time was much higher than what he saw in the video.

"Alas, a bunch of poor ghosts!" After Chu Zheng cleared the ball out of the sideline, he was very disappointed to see Albio, who was so skinny.

He studied Naples before the game, Higuain, Hamsik and others are all stars.

In the end, I didn't expect these guys to be so stingy. It's fine if they don't give him talent, but they don't even have a fragment. They are simply non-chiefs.

However, Chu Zheng soon stopped thinking about it.

Because the scene of the game took a sharp turn for the worse.

As the game time passed, Wolfsburg played more and more problems, while Naples' counterattack tactics became more and more rapid.
