King of the start, I'm the new king of the Azzurri

Chapter 20 The Great Victory
There is no problem with the idea of ​​passing the ball, but it is a pity that this opportunity was directly destroyed by the defensive player.

Fortunately, there is still a corner kick next, which is also an excellent scoring opportunity for Empoli.

As Empoli's No. 9 position, Li Feng has not scored a goal in two games, and he desperately hopes to break this scoring drought in this game.

At present, he has participated in 7 rounds of Empoli, and only scored 4 goals and 2 assists, which seems really ordinary.

But for Sarri, Li Feng's performance at the center position is reassuring. Although the statistics are not good, the help he can bring to the team is something that some statistics cannot reflect.

Just like the corner kick at this time.

After Li Feng noticed the movement in the corner area on the right, he observed the opponent's movements. After confirming that the header could not immediately pose a threat to the goal, Li Feng set his sights outside the penalty area.

With this high-quality corner kick, Li Feng was fully prepared.

After getting stuck on Adeyo with his back, Li Feng's eyes fell on the flying football.

At this time, he was also caught in the situation surrounded by Regina, but Li Feng's explosive power gave him an advantage in the crowd.

To the surprise of Regina's players, Li Feng's first choice was not to head the goal, but to head the ball outside the penalty area, which seemed to "help" them relieve the pressure in front of the goal.

But is this the case?
Li Feng pushed the ball to the outside. Empoli's defender Rugani slammed the football with his left foot, and the football drew a beautiful arc straight to the dead corner of the goal.

With the football entering the net, Empoli's home court was filled with cheers like a tsunami.

This is good news for the home fans, they are ahead!

After the head coach Sarri on the side of the court scored a goal, he rushed to his assistant coach excitedly, and the two hugged each other.

For Sarri, after another wave of three consecutive victories, his pressure is great, especially in the first half of the schedule, they have already won the first place in the league, how long has passed, and they are already 7 behind the first place separated!

If he can't lead Empoli out of the predicament in the next game, then he will be expelled directly if there is no accident!
For his own work, he must put enough pressure on the players.

After a short celebration, the game continued.

In the 34th minute of the first half, Empoli got another chance.

It was Morrow's side again, his sliding tackle kicked the ball out of the sideline, followed by a crucial error in Reggina's hand throw, and Morrow grabbed the ball in front of Reggina's players down.

With his forward pass, Li Feng has already galloped towards the point where the ball landed.

In terms of speed, Li Feng is faster than Regina's defensive players. Although they have a positional advantage, the situation at this time cannot be compensated by the positional advantage.

Li Feng, who was running fast, noticed Adeyo's position, and it seemed that he wanted to use his huge body to stop Li Feng's progress.

But in terms of physical confrontation, when was Li Feng afraid?

The two bumped into each other without accident. Although Adeyo's shoulders were heavy, Li Feng was not inferior at all, and even his thin-looking body caused enough trouble for Adeyo.

Under the confrontation, Li Feng had the advantage, and he quickly protected the ball under his feet.

When facing Adeyo's partner, Li Feng stepped on the bicycle continuously so that the opponent did not dare to act rashly.

Li Feng was chasing after the opponent kept retreating, and he suddenly changed his rhythm, which caused Lucioni to slip and lost his "control" of Li Feng.

This mistake created Li Feng's next goal.

It was the familiar left foot again, this time Li Feng didn't waste the opportunity, the curved ball he rubbed with his left foot fell steadily into the net.

What happened at the same time as the goal was the live DJ's elongated "GOALLLL!!!!!!"

With 2 goals in hand, this looks solid for Empoli.

In the 44th minute of the game, it was a familiar taste again. This time, Reggina's midfielder was "reinvigorated" again, and Spafford, who played forward, actually sent the ball directly to Valdi Fiore's feet.

Such a situation made Reggina's head coach feel embarrassed, and such a low-level mistake was somewhat beyond his expectations.

Facing the great gift presented, Empoli naturally accepted it with a smile.

Li Feng easily unloaded Valdi Fiore's long pass.

Following Li Feng's response, Pusciarelli kicked a heavy gun, and Empoli made another victory!
The 3-0 score turned the atmosphere at home into a sea of ​​jubilation. Obviously, the fans like this "result".

After the first half, Empoli entered the second half with a three-goal lead. This is also their biggest score since the second half of the schedule.

In the 49th minute of the second half, Morrow made a dangerous move with bright studs in the tackle, which earned him a topaz Ares card.

The same situation also appeared in the 61st minute of the game. Empoli's Eramo received a yellow card warning, and Adeyo, who yelled at Regina, put Li Feng in front of the penalty area.

It was another yellow card, and it also gave Empoli a crucial set-piece.

The thing that made Coach Regina worry about it came. It seemed that Empoli, who was having fun, chose a tactical set kick this time.

The fake action of taking the penalty deceived the defensive players, and Psia Leli, who kicked off the last kick, scored directly.

4-0, this is the biggest score Empoli has achieved in recent games. For them, this is a morale-boosting game. According to the development of this situation, they can stabilize their current position.

The scoring of this goal also declared the end of the game.

In the following time, Regina gave up struggling, and they did not have any desire to attack in the last 20 minutes, which also allowed Empoli to abide by the default rules.

A 4-goal victory greatly boosted Empoli's morale, and at the same time stabilized their second position in the league.

This is a release of pressure for Sarri.

Especially when he saw the ranking of the league, he believed that they could steadily advance to Serie A this season.

After 30 rounds now, the ranking of Serie B is relatively clear.

1. Palermo: 57 points

2. Empoli: 50 points

3. Crotone: 46 points

4. Latina: 45 points

5. Spezia: 41 points

6. Cesena: 37 points

They are still 7 points behind Palermo, but this time they lead No.3 behind them by 4 points, which is good news for them.

There are still 12 league rounds left, let's see if Empoli can last until the end of the season with the second position in the league?
