Football: The King of Efficiency, the Ball Must Go in the Small Penalty Area

The full game begins.

Palermo is an away game though.

But soon, he was the first to take control of the situation on the court.

Although Palermo has suffered a serious loss of personnel this season.

But in all fairness.

Palermo's team strength is still above Chievo.

So the head coach Decree, the target specified before the game, is to draw Palermo!

In the sixth minute, Palermo had a chance to almost break the deadlock.

Miccoli gets the ball in the frontcourt.

Facing the tall central defender Andre Oli.

Miccoli takes advantage of his flexibility.

Changes in rhythm with the ball.

Frequent direction changes.

This made Andreoli very uncomfortable.

Sure enough, with a sudden acceleration after a sudden stop.

Miccoli managed to get out of Andreoli's defense.

Win a space to hit the door.

Miccoli raised his foot and shot hard.

Fortunately, goalkeeper Sorrendino's attention has been very concentrated, and the ball is saved.

Just started, Chievo was almost broke the goal.

Xu Feng and others sitting on the bench couldn't help but sweat.

Decree encouraged the players on the sidelines, shouting loudly.

The Chievo players also quickly adjusted.

It's a home game after all.

At Pelissier's instigation.

Chievo organized an attack with a good chance.

Constant passed two players in the middle.

The ball was successfully tucked into the single arrow Perlisier.

Pelissier's speed is still good.

After getting the ball, there is no too cumbersome adjustment, and the goal is directly completed.

Palermo goalkeeper Sirigu is in a good position.

Successfully confiscated the ball.

Chievo fans shook their heads.

The ball is ok, it's powerful.

But it shot a little too straight.

If Xu Feng was replaced to shoot, maybe it would be more threatening. . .

Xu Feng's outstanding performance in these games.

Subtly raised the fans' expectations.

Pelissier was the team's top scorer last season.

The core of the team that fans talk about.

Now compare with Xu Feng.

Fans obviously still think Xu Feng is more fragrant!

The ball is back on Palermo's side again.

Miccoli deserves to be Palermo's sharp knife.

The height of 168, not only did not become his disadvantage.

Instead, it made him feel like a duck to water in front of tall defenders.

A huge advantage from a low center of gravity.

Get him out of defense and rhythm changes.

Let Chievo defense very uncomfortable.

In the 31st minute, Miccoli made a quick advance again.

Successfully passed the defender Andreoli and faced Cesar who came up from the defense.

Miccoli calmly knocked the ball across the middle.

The midfielder Pastore, who quickly inserted the ball, shot without stopping.

"clang!"

Pastorre's shot is very powerful.

Goalkeeper Sorrentino almost surrendered.

But luckily the door frame saved his life!

Cesar also rushed up and cleared the rebounded ball.

Chievo players also breathed a sigh of relief.

The situation on the field now has basically been completely taken over by Palermo.

The next ten minutes.

Chievo's restricted area is in front of the wind.

Palermo has formed a siege of Chievo.

And it's more frustrating.

Because this game uses the 451 formation.

face such a siege.

Even if Chievo got the ball.

Facing the frontcourt, there is only one single arrow of Pelissier.

It is also difficult to play a sufficiently threatening counterattack.

Decree was also anxious at this time.

The team's main task at the moment is defense.

It can also be seen from the current situation on the field.

The players put all their energy into defense.

On the offensive, not too many troops were invested.

On two occasions Chievo won the ball.

Pass the ball directly to the front single arrow Perlisier.

In the face of double-team defense, when Perisier did not have a double forward, Xu Feng assisted in the convenience.

Soon he will be in trouble.

Only postback can be selected.

If you grab the ball, don't give it directly to Perissier.

Select teammates to push forward slowly.

during this waiting time.

Palermo's players have basically returned to their own half.

The defensive formation is almost done.

Obviously a good counterattack opportunity.

It turned into a difficult positional battle.

"It can't go on like this! It feels like I've been pressed and beaten by Palermo all the time."

"The defense is very passive, and the offense can't attack."

"When I played against Naples last game, I didn't feel that offense was so uncomfortable!"

"Palermo's paper strength this season, whether offensive or defensive, should be inferior to Naples!"

"Why is the scene so ugly!"

On the bench, Chievo's players were puzzled.

Decree on the sidelines was really surprised.

As a coach, he can see at a glance where the source of the dilemma on the field lies.

Without a doubt, that is Xu Feng!

Football is an eleven-man sport though.

But if the core of the team can't play.

The impact on the strength of this team is often a very big blow.

And Xu Feng is undoubtedly the core of Chievo!

In the previous three rounds, Chievo had two wins and one draw.

Break down the vast majority of offenses in three games.

Almost every time Xu Feng plays a key role in it!

And in the last game against Napoli.

It is with Xu Feng's efficient goals and positive response when attacking.

Chievo team can play a huge energy.

Without Xu Feng, he was beaten back to the prototype.

Without Xu Feng, the real strength configuration of Chievo players.

Let them go against Palermo, can guarantee not to concede the ball, and tie the opponent, it is a good result!

With the referee's whistle.

The first half is over!

Chievo players on the field were relieved.

In the first half, Chievo had only two shots.

Palermo had 8 shots on goal.

Ball possession is also 37% vs 63%.

Chievo's side is a comprehensive disadvantage.

the entire first half.

Chievo hardly ever played his own half.

Passive defense has also greatly consumed Chievo players' physical fitness.

Most of the players' physical fitness has just recovered from the hard battle against Naples in the last game.

Intermission in the locker room.

Decree had no better way.

Without Xu Feng.

Chievo's attack here really can't stand up.

Pelissier can't stand alone.

Although he is a good player, he is not the kind of absolute star who can solve battles alone.

Could it be that Xu Feng was directly played in the second half?

Decree wanted to wait a little longer.

According to the team doctor's suggestion, even if Xu Feng is on the court, it is best not to exceed 30 minutes.

Otherwise, this time off would be meaningless.

"Guys, cheer up! Well done defense in the first half! Come on!"

Decree still encouraged some players.

But he was very clear.

Andreoli and Cesar are two tall central defenders.

Their turns are slow, and facing the attack of the opponent's sharp knife Miccoli, the defense is indeed very difficult.

However, the situation on the court in the second half was even worse than De Cray expected!

In the 50th minute, captain Perissier collided with the opposing player in a fight.

Pelissier fell to the ground and didn't get up! *
