Green Journey

Chapter 113 This is the Difficult Brother!

In the following time, Wolfsburg could no longer play a decent offense.

They hit the front of the offensive third area time and time again, but fell into the defensive quagmire of Naples again and again, and then they were surrounded and suppressed.

Once the ball is stolen by Naples, he will be beaten behind immediately.

The scene looks like Wolfsburg has the advantage, but in fact Wolfsburg has already placed itself on the cliff, and if it is not careful, it will be smashed to pieces.

Chu Zheng was anxious when he saw it.

However, now it's not just the back line that has problems, but even the midfield and frontcourt.

This situation can no longer be improved by the players, what is needed is the head coach to make tactical adjustments.

In the 28th minute of the game, Naples threatened Wolfsburg's goal again.

This time it is not a counterattack, but an upright positional battle.

The Naples players relied on tacit running connections to advance a little bit from their left half.

The ball was transferred to the right side before the center line, and De Bruyne rushed back quickly to block Macho who was holding the ball.

Higuain and Gustavo in the rib area also quickly moved to the side to support and assist in defense.

As a result, Gustavo and De Bruyne, who were pinching left and right in front of Macho, let the ball pass between them.

Higuain behind Gustavo took the ball and started speeding along the ribs.

But soon he saw Chu Zheng appearing in front of him.

So Higuain, who had been instructed by Benitez, did not choose to take the ball forward and fight Chu Zheng recklessly.

He quickly slowed down and saw Hamsik, who was between Naldo and Vierinha at the top of the arc, go straight forward.

He suddenly pushed the ball with the inside of his right foot.

The moment Higuain passed the ball, Chu Zheng, who was stepping back, successfully predicted again. He quickly moved to the right with a lunge and accurately blocked the ball.

The Wolfsburg fans watching this scene were terrified.

This ball Higuain uses the inside of his foot, as long as it is passed, it will go around in front of Hamsik, which is directly a single-handed ball.

So far in the game, only Chu Zheng has satisfied the Wolfsburg fans.

In addition, De Bruyne and the others are also a little dissatisfied, because De Bruyne is obviously not in the best game state today.

The effect of De Bruyne's passes in these three 10 minutes was not ideal.

In the 36th minute of the game, Naples once again quickly hit the front of Wolfsburg's penalty area through a counterattack.

But this time they still failed to break through Chu Zheng's defensive barrier.

Higuain dribbles the ball head-on.

But as soon as the two met, the ball was snatched away by Chu Zheng.

Hamsik sprinted against the ball that rolled in front of him, and took a long shot of high quality.

The ball went straight to the upper left corner of the goal.

Benaglio made a world-class save, blocking the ball directly over the crossbar to give Napoli their second corner of the game.

Soon, a corner kick was taken, and Hamsik was found behind.

Chu Zheng soared into the air and cleared the ball to his right rib area with his header.

The ball was continuously lobbed by Jilavoji, Lopez and others, but it didn't land for a long time.

After vacating four times in a row, the ball was headed towards the middle of the penalty area by Albio.

Chu Zheng took off again and crushed Naples central defender Bristow, clearing the ball to the top of the arc.

As a result, the unmarked Callejon raised his foot to easily unload the ball, and then quickly stuffed the ball in front of Higuain's right rib at the top of the arc.

At the top of the arc, Chu Zheng turned around and found that Rodriguez had disappeared. He was so angry that he scolded his mother, and quickly sprinted to the right side of the penalty area, blocking Higuain who was holding the ball in time.

Higuain made a cross pass on the right side of the penalty area, but Chu Zheng was not fooled.

Chu Zheng quickly stuck to him the moment he kicked his foot, lifted his right foot and chopped it, not only chopped the ball out of the baseline, but also knocked Higuain to the ground and rolled over.

Benitez, who watched this scene on the sidelines, was full of amazement.

He saw the ball clearly.

Wolfsburg missed another defense in the middle just now.

As long as Higuain's ball is given to Hamsik's feet on the penalty spot, it will definitely be another goal.

However, Chu Zheng suddenly moved over, compressed the space in front of Higuain, and cleared the ball in time.

This kind of control of the timing of the grab made Benitez amazed.

In the 42nd minute of the game, Naples was surrounded by four people from Wolfsburg on the center line on the right side of their side.

After consecutive kicks, the ball came to Callejon on the center line.

After he stopped the ball, he raised his right foot and made a long pass from the side, which once again penetrated Wolfsburg's midfield defense.

On the outer side of the upper right corner of the penalty area, Chu Zheng, who was on the inside, stared at Hamsik in time.

At this time, Higuain is also quickly thrusting forward to the ribs, and Naldo is on his left.

Jilavoji also quickly came to the right side of Chuzheng for double defense. He cut off all connections between Hamsik and Higuain on the rib.

As a result, Hamsik, who was on his back, forcibly twisted his body, and pushed the ball back to the right with the inside of his left foot in an awkward posture.

At the moment of passing the ball, Higuain ran to the right line of the penalty area.

This highly concealed push frightened all Wolfsburg fans.

But in the next moment, Chu Zheng, who was on the left side of the passing line, straddled his long legs and blocked the ball out of the sideline.

Seeing this scene again, Benitez shook his head and smiled wryly.

This reaction, this sense of position, this sense of crisis left Benitez speechless.

On the court, Hamsik also had a helpless smile on his face.

He hadn't expected that Chu Zheng would be on guard against his sudden pass, which was incredible.

At this time, a thought came to Hamsik's mind. If Benitez was not a defensive counterattack but a strong attack today, then they may not be able to score first.

Chu Zheng gave him the feeling that he was more difficult and terrifying than some long-established central defenders in Serie A.

Hamsik had two confrontations with Chu Zheng in the first half, but he tried to break through but failed once.

Every time, Chu Zheng accurately predicted the direction of his breakthrough, and then intercepted the ball.

Not long after, the first half of the game ended.

During the intermission, Dieter Heiking immediately adjusted his tactics.

Therefore, after the start of the second half, Wolfsburg's flying wide crosses in the first half dropped sharply.

With Dost restricted to death by Naples, Dieter Heiking turned his attention to the ribs.

In addition, De Bruyne and others also increased the number of long-range shots outside the penalty area, in order to force the Naples players who contracted their formation again in the second half to go out of the penalty area to grab.

The tactical strategy is clear, but the players who execute the tactics are not in good shape.

As if doomed, Wolfsburg never threatened Naples' goal.

But because of the existence of Chu Zheng, who is as hot as ever, in the backcourt, Naples' counterattack threat has also dropped sharply.

In the 68th minute of the game, De Bruyne was uncharacteristically, and suddenly dialed the ball inward after taking the ball from the left.

Then he sent out a very concealed through rib.

Schurle received the ball on the left side of the penalty area and quickly crossed the middle of the penalty area.

Dost desperately broke free from the marking of the two Naples players, he grabbed the first point, turned around and forced a shot.

This shot is not only powerful, but also quite tricky.

But it still didn't bypass Naples goalkeeper Andujar's ten fingers.

Andujar swooped, and accurately pushed the ball straight to the bottom left corner of the goal out of the baseline.

Seeing a corner kick, Chu Zheng quickly entered the penalty area.

Soon, De Bruyne sent a right corner kick.

In the middle of the penalty area, at the front of the penalty spot, Chu Zheng ran up, slapped Albio off the hand that was pulling the jersey, and flew into the air.

Facing the incoming ball, Chu Zheng dived and bombed.

But it is a pity that the ball hit the crossbar and bounced off the bottom line.

Seeing that the team's offense has improved, the Wolfsburg fans in the stands on all sides beat the exciting drums hard, cheered with their necks pulled, and cheered for the team.

"It's right to fight like this!"

"In the first half, Wolfsburg's frontcourt cooperation was not tacit, the midfielder was not active in fighting, and the defense in the backcourt was a mess. It can be said that it was a mess. If Chu Zheng did not contribute many wonderful defenses in the backcourt, Wolfsburg Wolfsburg will definitely not concede just one goal now!"

"Maybe Wolfsburg was blown by Dieter Heiking's hair dryer for 15 minutes during the intermission, and they were all awake!" He Wei joked.

However, just when everyone was looking forward to Wolfsburg, the reality slapped everyone hard.

In the 70th minute of the game, Wolfsburg fouled on his own right rib and gave Naples a free kick at a position of about 22 meters.

With the two players from Naples, there are 7 people in the wall.

But damn can't keep it.

Mertens chose to shoot directly after the run-up, and he hit one of the top ten goals in the Europa League.

After the ball flew into the air, it bypassed the right side of the human wall, turned an exaggerated rainbow arc, and fell directly to the top right corner of the goal.

Benalio stretched his body to the extreme after taking off, but his fingertips still couldn't touch the ball.

I can only watch the ball go into the goal!
"Oh! Fairy ball!!!"

"Unbelievable!!! Mertens, a very deadly arc free kick!!!!"

This kick also dumbfounded He Wei and Zhang Lu.

After the game was rewritten to 2-0, the advantage that Wolfsburg had just established in the second half, which was inexperienced in the European war, instantly collapsed and disappeared.

Driven by anxiety, Wolfsburg launched a more violent attack.

But it feels like headless flies are scurrying around.

In the 82nd minute of the game, Mertens picked Higuain on the free throw arc in the counterattack.

At this time Higuain was surrounded by five Wolfsburg players.

As a result, Higuain unloaded the ball perfectly from his chest, turned around and volleyed without waiting for the ball to land.

The ball once again entered Wolfsburg's goal from the absolute dead end of the left crossbar and post.

Witnessing the birth of this fairy ball, the cheers in the stands disappeared, and the drums also disappeared.

No one could have imagined that the game could be played like this.

In less than 85 minutes, disappointed Wolfsburg fans left the field one after another.

At this point in the game, Naples' three away goals can almost be said to have sentenced Wolfsburg to death.

De Bruyne and others are also ashamed, and the offensive momentum has dropped sharply. Many players seem to have given up.

But there is one exception.

Chu Zheng!

Until the 90th minute of the game, Chu Zheng was still running on the court at all costs.

In the last minute of stoppage time, after Wolfsburg's corner kick was cleared, Chu Zheng did not retreat but advanced, pressing on the spot.

As a result, Lopez didn't know whether it was a physical problem or he was frightened by the aggressive Chu Zheng, so he stopped the ball to Chu Zheng.

After taking the ball, Chu Zheng used his last bit of strength to start sprinting.

Yinle saw that Chu Zheng was about to enter the penalty area from the left rib, so he quickly fell to the ground in a panic and made a tactical foul with a shovel behind his back.

Chu Zheng did fall down, but the referee pointed directly at the penalty spot after blowing his whistle.

Naples players besieged the referee to protest, but the referee insisted that Chu Zheng had already stepped into the penalty area with one foot before falling to the ground.

One minute later, De Bruyne made a penalty and rewritten the game to 1-1, helping Wolfsburg, who was playing at home, regain a bit of face, and at the same time left Wolfsburg with a chance to advance to the Europa League. A ray of hope in the semi-finals.

This is also the last goal of the game.

But after the game, the European media did not pay much attention to the losing Wolfsburg.

Because Bayern also lost 3-1 to Porto in the Champions League quarter-finals.

The first and second teams in the Bundesliga lost on the same day and by the same score, which made the German media collectively boil, exclaiming that the Bundesliga team will be completely wiped out in the European war this year.

There was no movement after Wolfsburg's loss.

However, after losing, Bayern blamed Wolfart, the team doctor who has played for Bayern for more than 30 years.

Wolfart was so angry that he took his son and two team doctor colleagues to resign.

In an interview with the media, he said that he could not understand why the team lost, but their team doctor had to bear the main responsibility for the loss.

This farce made the German people eat melons to their fullest!
