The Football Journey After Soul Shifting

"It's actually a bit simple." Liu Wen scratched his blond hair and began to point out Kompany, "I'm right-footed and used to be on the left, so I just pretend to buckle back, step on the ball with my right foot, and then turn my crotch Come here, spin with your left foot for a moment and continue stepping and pulling in the direction you were traveling just now."

As Liu Wen spoke, he carefully demonstrated step by step. He turned the ball sideways and easily completed a 360-degree turn.

"As long as the center of gravity is low and the speed is fast, and the last pull of the left foot is large, others will think that you are going to change direction backwards, and at the same time, the space will be opened. The key point is that there is no change in the direction of the dribble. , It’s just that people use their bodies to make a big 360-degree fake movement.”

Perhaps Godzilla should really set up a football school—this kind of explanation couldn’t be more clear. Kompany, who doesn’t understand Italian very well, nodded half-understanding.Start practicing on your own.

……

As a talented player, the tall Kompany undoubtedly lacks physical coordination.A set of simple movements has been used by him over and over again, no matter how you look at it, it may be an eyesore, but the movements are quite proficient.

"Mariano, how do I use it?" After practicing for a long time, Kompany asked confidently. Liu Wen couldn't bear to dampen his enthusiasm, hesitated slightly, and nodded, "It's not bad, just practice more gone."

For the humanitarian spirit of the talented striker, people have to sincerely respect; if Liu Wen knew the result in advance, he would definitely tell the truth.

"Mariano, this Saturday's game. Just wait and see my footwork."

Kompany's confidence is a bit off Liu Wen's imagination.But he didn't know what Kompany was thinking at this time, so he could only hesitate and respond.Leaving the training ground with the Belgian.

In the evening, I will also participate in a talk show called "Night of 88".

*************

Naples at the end of April can be said to be a paradise city with both humanistic and natural beauty.

But a fine from the Italian Football Federation has cast a shadow over the beauty of Naples.

"Because Naples fans were drinking and rioting after the home game of the Venice team. Naples will ban the use of home games in the next two consecutive league games."

For the Neapolitans, it couldn't be worse.

……

Before the game against Naples, Verona's new head coach Precios was under a lot of pressure.

As the promotion favorite before the season, it is now ranked 7th, 4 points behind No. 7. For the Verona team, it can be said that it is not a good thing.

Therefore, for Salvioni, this game is a game that has to be won.Regardless of the prospect of whether the Verona team can be directly promoted.The proud Verona people are not willing to send Naples into the first division in their own stadium.

...Based on these two reasons, as early as a week ago, Precios had a spat with Scoglio in the Verona local media. As Scoglio's former assistant coach, He even declared in the media: "Naples will suffer a big defeat at the Bente Gaudi Stadium. The brave Verona fans will use boos as weapons to completely defeat the team from Naples."

Facing the provocations of the old masters, Scoglio has no intention of yielding or forbearing. In fact, his saliva is already enough to forge a holy sword for war of words.The courteous gentleman retorted in the Neapolitan press.

"Even Naples without Mariano. It's enough to beat Verona 2:0."

……

The generals fought, and the soldiers suffered.

For this Italian proverb, Liu Wen must have sympathy for it now.

From somewhere in front of him, tens of thousands of people booed like glass being scraped by blades, and the calm air produced some flow.There may be many dissonant notes in the middle.

"The Neapolitan mafia will wait and see. We Verona police are not vegetarians."

"Mariano get the hell out. The drug testers are coming!"

"You have elephants, we have bear traps!"

……

Liu Wen stood at the entrance of the players' tunnel at a loss.The god who helped him come to Italy, why didn't he give him football talent beyond anyone else.How about giving him the gift of being able to calmly face such a situation?

"Mariano. Don't be afraid."

Kompany patted Liu Wen's shoulder behind him, "When I was in Anderlecht before, I went to Istanbul in Turkey to play against Fenerbahce. You know how good they are. There was even a fan in their Killed at home - but we won 2-0, even though my legs gave out. Hehehehe, believe me, Mariano, as long as you don't fear them, everything will be fine."

……

Kompany's consolation was helpful, Liu Wen nodded and glanced to the left.At the front of the line of sight, dozens of mineral water bottles draw a neat arc, playing a frightening movement on the floor of the players' tunnel.Liu Wen turned his gaze to the right in a little panic, where there was a banner hanging on the stands: Mariano Arini: Big Hateful Monster.

Verona fans still clearly remember that in the first half of the season, relying on Liu Wen's hat-trick, Naples easily and neatly defeated the Verona team, which was still in the top three at the time, 3-0—and Verona It was because of this game that Nana fell into a slump. In the next game, it actually had a four-game losing streak. It once made this veteran team full of hope for revival feel that the end of the world has arrived.There are also many contradictions in the team, but since the change of head coach in January, the team has gradually regained its feeling in various competitions.The arrival of Precios gave the Verona team a shot in the arm.

Even so—for the people of Verona who are far away from the hope of upgrading now, Liu Wen can also be said to be the villain who killed their Romeo and Juliet.

***************

Tens of thousands of fans chanted the Verona team's slogan in unison: "Forward - Verona - smash the Naples goal into a colander!"

In comparison, the team anthem of more than 2000 Naples fans is simply negligible.

……

The game started, and Liu Wen knocked the ball to Miccoli amid hair-raising boos.Game start!

Facing home field advantage.The Verona team is not bad, and Scoglio, who vowed to win before the game, chose to play against the Verona team.It should be said that there is nothing wrong with his tactics-the main tone of this game is to attack and attack again.

Just 3 minutes into the game.Liu Wen, who is in excellent condition, got a good chance.He broke through the opposing defender Comaczi from the right side of the penalty area and shot from close range.The helpless angle was too straight, and was pressed under the body by the opponent's goalkeeper Pegolo.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, but in the first half of the season, Liu Wen's hat-trick started with such a shot.

And the next process of the game is also as Scoglio expected.

In this confrontation, whichever side has a super striker wins, and Naples undoubtedly has one.What's more, Miccoli is also capable of being selected for the national team!

Three minutes later, Miccoli made a wonderful pass with his heel, and Liu Wen shot vigorously from the front of the penalty area.The ball passed through the crowd close to the ground and went straight to the lower right corner of the goal.

Pegler was powerless and fell heavily on the ground, and could only beat the ground with his hands bitterly.

Just 6 minutes into the game, Naples took a 1-0 lead thanks to Liu Wen's goal!

Scoglio jumped up from the bench and raised his hands high. He actually wanted to express his excitement.

……

The Bent Gauti Stadium was once again silent.

On the same pitch, in the same position.At the same time, everything is no different from the first half of the season.

Is Verona ushering in another embarrassing defeat?

***********

The fears of the people of Verona did not become reality in the end.

Flores took a corner kick, and under the cover of Miccoli, Liu Wen then inserted a powerful head shake to attack the goal!

This time Pegler made the right save.But the ball didn't go out of bounds, there was chaos in Verona's penalty area, and Maresca took his chance.With a strong shot, the ball bounced off Miccoli's body and out of the penalty area.Comaczi took advantage of the situation and made a big foot clearance.

……

Although the Naples offensive was vigorous, Pegler appeared to have suddenly taken ephedrine or amphetamine.Flicking left and right, Liu Wen, Miccoli, and Flores returned without success one after another.

Football is round and Verona is not attacking, but that doesn't mean they can't score goals.

At 25 minutes into the game, an amazing scene appeared.Kompany cut off the opponent's striker Massaro's ball near the middle circle, took advantage of the situation and advanced, and suddenly performed a "Marseille turn" amidst the boos of tens of thousands of fans in Bente Gaudi.

Perhaps because of nervousness, Kompany's Marseille turnaround made him stumble. Massaro was stunned - but he couldn't miss this opportunity. He took advantage of this opportunity to launch a quick counterattack, passing a With the cooperation of two and two, the arch of the foot was easily flicked, and the football flew over Manita's head and flew directly into the empty goal!

Verona tied the score 1:1.

There was a burst of laughter and applause at the Bent Gaudi Stadium, and they sang in an orderly manner: "Kompani - superb footwork makes Maradona crazy with jealousy! Kompany - you are so good Already!"

Kompany's face turned crimson with embarrassment.

The on-site commentator still did not let go of his plan, and he shouted passionately through the microphone: "A beautiful counterattack! Massaro and Kompany are the biggest contributors to this goal! Kompany made a beautiful 'Kong' Pani turned 'for an assist and he blew us away with 'a footwork that Mariano would have been ashamed of'!"

*************

Scoglio also looked down, but he couldn't make a substitution. If he changed at this time, Kompany might be devastated.

Liu Wen looked at Kompany sympathetically, stepped forward to pull him up, and patted him on the shoulder. I am afraid that Liu Wen is the only player who knows the origin of the allusion of "Kompani's turn". His fault.

……

This unlucky conceded goal may not be a bad thing for Naples-not to mention the possibility of Kompany suddenly resorting to a 'Kompani turn' in the Coppa Italia final, this conceded goal is also a good thing for Naples at this time. Man opened a door called 'crazy attack'.

Not long after, Liu Wen scored again with his genius performance of turning stones into gold.

Naples No. 6 Maresca intercepted a ball from Verona from the backcourt. He dribbled the ball away from Katzari and passed it to Flores. He immediately passed the ball without hesitation. Kicked towards Liu Wen... At this time, Liu Wen had almost no players defending. This was a wonderful opportunity. Liu Wen dribbled the ball on the left sideline and forcibly crossed Verona No. 13 Comaczi. A defender from the opposing team kicked a low high ball to Miccoli who was on the way. Miccoli rubbed the outside of his right foot and returned the ball to him along a high parabola. Liu Wen understood and immediately changed the line and ran away Seize the favorable position, jump into the air, shake your head and shoot down!

The ball hit the turf hard and bounced off Pegler's knee into the net.

Naples leads again 2:1.

The head coach of Verona, Presios, felt like a needle in his heart, but he was not desperate yet, and there was still half of the game.Verona still has a lot of time to tie the score or even surpass it.

***************

The first half of the game ended with Naples leading 2:1.

Scoglio replaced Miccoli with Bernini as the midfielder, and only put Liu Wen in front. While counterattacking steadily, he used Liu Wen's assault power and speed to rush forward and left. , Disrupt Verona's defense, so that the more aggressive Giannini and Flores can plug in from the back row and get a chance to shoot.

In the second half, the Naples team fought again after replacing Miccoli. In addition to Liu Wen's sprinting all over the field, which effectively restrained the offense and defense of the Verona team, Flores and Giannini took the lead. Double front midfielder, when he was changed to the position of left midfielder, Maresca showed surprising attack and ability to coordinate the game. He was even like Napoli's 'Nedved'. Verona created a lot of pressure.

In the 6th minute of the second half, Verona's right back Kosoren was sent off because he couldn't defend Maresca and fouled from behind. This made the already disadvantaged Verona team even worse and passive beaten.

"Thief! Lucky thief!"

The fans of Verona shouted this, they insisted that the Naples people have the favor of the goddess of luck and the help of the referee.
