Chapter 373: Think About Barry

Mazzari was right. In fact, after Candreva created a one-on-one goal, many Naples players had already collapsed psychologically.  M

They thought of the results of the previous matches with Lazio.

No matter how hard they tried, Lazio always won in the end. This time... is it no exception?

When Candreva sent the ball into the Naples goal without any suspense, these Naples players had only one thought in their minds: "Oh my God! They are going to score again! What should we do?!"

It was not easy to score a goal against Lazio, and now they lost a goal. If they want to take the lead, it means they have to score two goals.

This is even more difficult!

The bleak future has nothing to do with it, which makes the Naples players seem to have no fighting spirit...

This is human nature. No one likes to play a game that is destined to fail.

※ ※ ※

When Candreva scored a goal, not only the Naples players, but also the Naples fans felt cold in their hearts.

They watched the Lazio players running wildly to celebrate the goal and fell into a brief silence.

They were thinking in their hearts - are these really players who haven't played a minute of the game in a month?

Then why are they in such good shape?

Look at the goal just lost, Candreva's turn and breakthrough, bold and careful! Can someone who is out of shape do it? !

The commentators also had such doubts.

Everyone was amazed at Lazio's lead and Candreva's goal.

"Incredible form! Candreva's turn and breakthrough is really beautiful!"

"Lazio is ahead of Naples in the game! But this goal cannot explain the whole problem. What is more worthy of attention is the control shown by Lazio in the game... In fact, before this goal, Lazio had already gained the upper hand in the game. It's just that this advantage did not turn into a winning trend..."

"Some people say that this Lazio is in poor form, but I can't see any signs of this at all... These players are in hot form! Look at Candreva! The turn and breakthrough just now was so cool! The perfect combination of imagination and skills! I absolutely don't believe that a player in poor form can do such a move!"

※ ※ ※

When everyone around him jumped up to cheer for the team's lead,

Changsheng just clapped his hands and sat back in the coaching seat.

He was sure that these players understood their situation.

They were sure to win this game. Changsheng would not relax his requirements for the result just because he changed the lineup.

So he took this goal for granted and there was nothing to celebrate.

Of course. Candreva's goal will make Lazio's next game a little easier.

This is an objective fact.

After the game resumed, Lazio's morale was high. They rushed forward in one go and bombarded Napoli's half.

Napoli seemed a little absent-minded.

Their players didn't know what to do.

Should we attack or defend?

Offense will lose more balls, defense will lose...

It seems that no matter what they do, it's wrong.

In addition, before the game, they thought Lazio looked down on them and sent a group of players in poor condition. As a result, in actual combat, they found that they were even better than them!

This huge gap between psychological expectations and reality made the Napoli players feel confused.

The confusion was manifested in the lack of offense on the court, and there were loopholes everywhere when defending. Lazio could easily attack the 30-meter area and form a threatening shot.

Finally, before the end of the first half. Lazio scored another goal. This time it was a long shot from Hernanes.

2:0!

Before the first half was over, Lazio had basically ended the suspense of the game.

※ ※ ※

Mazzari stood on the sidelines, head down. With his hands in his pockets, he was bored and helpless.

He suddenly remembered something. There was a game that was very similar to today's game.

Just last season, Lazio played in the Champions League group stage, but almost lost to a team that had always been unknown away from home, and finally won 4:3.

At that time, some media said that Lazio was about to encounter a crisis. Even such a weak team was so difficult to win, and some people wanted to fish in troubled waters and beat Lazio when Lazio was not in good shape...

After the game, Changsheng was furious and wanted to punish these players.

So in the next round of the league, Lazio faced Bari, and the same group of players played. Their mental outlook was completely different from that of Pisa in the Champions League.

In the end, Lazio scored 13 goals against Bari at Bari's home court and defeated Bari with a score of 13:0, which broke all Italian records.

How similar is this game?

Mazzarri shuddered when he thought of Bari's fate.

In the second half, he absolutely cannot continue to play like this!

Now is not the time to consider whether he can beat Lazio. He should seriously consider whether he can lose a few fewer goals in this game...

He doesn't want Napoli to become the second Bari.

If that's the case, I'm afraid I'll have to resign...

※ ※ ※

During the halftime break, Mazzarri adjusted his tactics.

He told the confused Napoli players to defend in the second half.

"Don't think about attacking, we'll defend!" he said to the players.

Perhaps some players would think that their head coach was too cowardly to surrender so directly.

Mazzari immediately mentioned a name, and they immediately stopped thinking so.

"Don't forget Bari's tragedy. I don't think any of you want to be scored thirteen goals by Lazio in one game, right?"

Sure enough, everyone's expression was stern.

Bari's tragedy is still being mentioned repeatedly.

Tell everyone - don't make Changsheng angry, don't look down on the Lazio lineup that doesn't seem to be strong, their fighting power may be better than the strongest lineup!

Mazzari brought Bari out. Everyone lost their temper.

Honestly accepted the head coach's arrangement.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, the players of Naples realized how far-sighted their head coach was...

Because in the second half, Lazio's attack did not weaken at all because they were already two goals ahead.

On the contrary, it was even crazier!

Look at their posture. It seems that they really won't stop until they score ten goals against Naples.

If they continue to be in the muddleheaded state of the first half, or if they still dream of equalizing the score, then they will only lose more goals in the second half!

Once they are completely collapsed, it is not impossible to concede thirteen goals...

When they think of this, the players of Naples broke out in a cold sweat.

So they defended more vigorously in the second half.

In addition, they have a new understanding of Changsheng's ruthlessness, and many people have complaints and complaints.

※ ※ ※

In fact, the players of Naples have wronged Changsheng.

This is really not Changsheng's arrangement.

Or at least Changsheng did not directly tell his players to do this in the second half.

He commented on the first half indifferently during the halftime break, but he did not say "I am very happy" or "I am very satisfied".

So the players of Lazio saw a dangerous signal from his somewhat cold attitude-they did not know whether the boss was really satisfied with their performance.

Or did he think they could perform better?

But the boss did not say, so they could only guess.

No matter how much you guess, you still can't figure it out.

In this case, the safest way is to continue attacking. Keep scoring goals. When more goals are scored, the boss should not find any reason to punish them, right?

They also thought of Bari.

So they used Bari's game as a reference and launched a fierce attack on Naples' goal.

But Naples' strength is still much stronger than Bari.

And during the halftime break, Mazzari quickly made adjustments to let the Naples players know what they should do.

Another important reason is that Naples only lost two goals in the first half.

This has not completely defeated the fighting spirit of the Naples players.

Bari lost five goals in the first half...completely stunned Bari.

Losing only two goals is acceptable for Naples. The players' emotions are still stable.

So in the second half, although Lazio attacked desperately, they did not really score more than a dozen goals against Naples.

Of course, Lazio did not gain nothing.

In the second half, they still scored a goal.

In addition, two shots hit the goal frame.

Another shot slipped out of the goal.

If they were luckier, Lazio could have won this game by six goals.

Now, it can only be 3:0...

Look, Lazio won three goals, which can only be called "talented", as if it is not satisfactory.

But in fact, this result is already very good for most teams.

Even for giants like Barcelona and Real Madrid, it is worth celebrating to win the opponent by 3:0.

But look at the Lazio players, when the game was over, they looked wooden, dull, and a little depressed.

Many people who watched were more depressed than them-damn, you have won three goals against the opponent, this is called a complete victory, and you are still not satisfied? What else are you dissatisfied with!

Because they didn't score more goals, they were dissatisfied.

They were afraid that their boss would be dissatisfied.

Many people secretly glanced at the boss and saw that the boss was smiling at them.

The huge stone in their hearts... finally fell to the ground!

※ ※ ※

At the post-match press conference, Changsheng talked about the team's performance: "Although they haven't played a formal game for a month, I am very happy that their condition has not been affected."

Mazzari's team became a foil for Changsheng to teach the players a lesson, but Mazzari couldn't say it.

Who made him inferior to others?

They didn't have the strongest lineup, and he lost 0:3. How could he say anything else?

He could only say: "We were unlucky..."

Yes, the luck was really bad, and they ran into such a Lazio. Just like Bari.

But compared to Bari, their luck was good enough...
