Chapter 115, Go To The City First

The two quarter-finals in the top half kick off at the same time.

Liverpool ushered in Naples at home, while Barcelona challenged the weak PSV Eindhoven away.

"The warm-up match for the highly anticipated semi-finals has officially begun!"

Even the narrator said that, which shows where everyone's thoughts are.

Liverpool launched a fierce offensive to Naples as a guest from the very beginning of the game, which is also in line with their tactical requirements.

Naples seemed to have been prepared for such a fierce offensive against Liverpool. They did not press out to attack at all, but retreated to the penalty area from the beginning of the game.

Holding his head in his hands, he squatted in the corner, looking like he was being beaten.

They expect to hang on to a result that looks good to them.

Even if you lose the game in the end, as long as you miss two goals.

For example, if they lose zero to one, they still have hope to return to the home court.

Only one step away from reaching the semi-finals, no one wants to give up.

Therefore, even if Naples faces Liverpool, they definitely have no intention of surrendering in advance.

This is what Guardiola wants to see most. The two teams fight to the death, and then he reaps the benefits.

At this time, he was sitting on the coaching bench of the away team at Philips Stadium, Eindhoven's home stadium, knocking on Erlang's legs, really looking like a fisherman waiting to make a profit.

As for the game in front of him...

It seems that it is not intense, and PSV did not show strong fighting spirit just because they are at home.

And because Barcelona sent too many young players, it still seemed a little jerky.

But this is not important. In Guardiola's view, after waiting for a while, after his players gradually adapt to the rhythm of the game, Eindhoven is a dead end.

All he cares about now is the result of the other game.

His assistant coach Vilanova sat next to him.

Vilanova is now wearing headphones in his ears, connected to a pocket radio, and is listening to another live broadcast of the game.

Anything over there may have an impact on Barcelona's strategy and tactics.

So Guardiola asked that as long as there is any change in the game over there, Vilanova must tell him as soon as possible.

Naples' defense is very thorough, but in the past two seasons, Liverpool's players have already seen many teams that defend.

As Liverpool's reputation grew, most of their opponents chose to stick to it.

For these teams, it is not bad to get a draw against Liverpool.

What about winning...don't even think about it!

Therefore, Liverpool has accumulated rich experience in dealing with these defensive tactics.

Especially since they have Su Han, the most powerful siege weapon in the world.

Even if the opponent closes the city gate and defends it, they still have a way to blast the opponent's strong city wall and gate!

as it is now....

Only eleven minutes into the game, under repeated bombardment by Liverpool, the walls and gates of the Naples castle were trembling, as if they might twist and collapse at any time.

Huge psychological pressure crossed everyone's heart, making them secretly shocked.

This is the first time they have played against Liverpool. I didn't expect Liverpool to be so powerful! It seems that what the media said is not an exaggerated gimmick, but a fact...

Facing such a powerful Liverpool, some Naples players have begun to doubt whether they can complete the tasks assigned by the head coach before the game...

Finally, in the twelfth minute, Liverpool suddenly stepped up their strength after continuous attacks and launched an attack with all their strength!

Under this attack from Liverpool, the (good) walls of Naples came crashing down!

There is a gap!

Su Han appeared in the gap with Liverpool's red flag aloft.

The football was sent over by Mane.

This through ball is delivered with precision and concealment.

When Su Han received the ball, the Napoli players reacted!

But it's too late to stop him now!

Su Han went into the penalty area so easily, and then kicked a low shot with his left foot!

The football flew past the Naples goalkeeper and into the bottom right corner of the goal!

ball!

In! Only!.
