Chapter 140 Sai Weng Lost His Horse
Getting a goal back before the end of the first half was a huge blow to the morale of the Roma players.

However, in the second half, Roma's sudden attack at the beginning stunned Naples.

In the 48th minute, only 3 minutes into the second half, De Rossi's long pass tore through Naples' defense.

Baptista ran offside, and he was about to receive the ball, but was knocked down by Santa Croce for a foul.

The referee came over and showed Santa Croce a yellow card.

Naples teammates did not blame him, but patted him on the shoulder.

If the ball just now was grabbed by Baptista, it would be a one-shot!

Realizing that their opponents hadn't been demoralized by the equalizer, the Napoli players were also on high tension.

In the 51st minute, Hamsik's through pass found Li Ze, who broke into the penalty area and shot. The ball was blocked by Cicinho, hit the door frame and bounced out.

Hamsik's corner kick was taken off by goalkeeper Dhoni

In the 56th minute, after attracting the defense of two people, Lavitch found Li Ze with a diagonal long pass.

Behind him, defender Mex made a successful prediction and defended himself.

Li Ze leaned on him, knocked the ball with his heel, and passed the ball to Dennis on the other side.

The Argentine did not expect Li Ze's pass, but Li Ze's ball was just right, and Dennis easily stopped the ball.

The next moment, he was brought to the ground by defender Cicinho.

The referee shows Cicinho a yellow card.

Seeing that the two sides were evenly matched, Riise kicked a long pass into the penalty area of ​​Naples, and the ball landed in a place where goalkeeper Jezo was neither advancing nor retreating.

Seeing that Vucinic was about to grab the first spot, it was Santa Croce who knocked him down again.

Napoli escaped a fatal blow from Roma, but Santa Croce paid the price.

The referee came over and showed Santa Croce another yellow card.

Two yellows turned one red, and Santa Croce was sent off!

The young Nesta successor wanted to say something, but opened his mouth, but found that he had no way to quibble.

For his two fouls, he was given a yellow card as a matter of course.

Getting a red card now can only be said to be benevolent.

"He's still a bit young. If he had more experience, he could have avoided the two yellow cards with smaller moves." Zhang Lu, the commentator of Huaguo, commented.

"Roma showed the demeanor of a veteran team. They were tied at the end of the first half, but they played better in the second half." He Wei praised Roma.

"Defender Santa Croce has talent, but he still has a lot to learn." Zhan Jun, who is still living in Wanwan, has mixed evaluations of Santa Croce.

His two defenses did relieve Naples from the crisis, but if he received a red card, he is destined to be unqualified as a defender.

His red card forced Naples to face 11 with ten men in the following game.

In a game like Serie A, one less person can do a huge damage to the team as a whole.

Eddie Rea put his arms around Santa Croce, and after comforting him a few words, he started to have a headache.

This red card really posed a problem for him——

Now, should a substitution be made?

For a while, Eddie couldn't make up his mind.

At this moment, the situation on the field changed——

Maybe it was Naples who was sent off one person, which made the Roma players a little slack.

Cannavaro, who grabbed the ball, quickly passed the ball to Gargano.

The latter found Li Ze with a straight kick, Li Ze passed the ball without stopping, and the goal was Hamsik who ran into the penalty area!
It was at this time that Roma's defenders discovered that Hamsik had already reached such a dangerous position!
Seeing Li Ze's decisive pass, Hamsik admired secretly.

Instead of taking the time to stop the ball, he shoots directly!

Goalkeeper Dhoni failed to make a save and fell to the ground.

Unfortunately, the ball hit the goal frame and failed to score.

Hamsik did not stand still after the shot, but judged the possible landing point of the ball and ran.

This is just right!

Hamsik shot again, and this time Dhoni didn't even have time to make a save before the ball rolled into the goal line.

2: 1!

"goooooooooooooooooal!!!"

"Go-ahead! Naples overtake the score!"

"Roma paid for their slack and Napoli proved that they only need three touches to score!"

"Hamsik's timing is excellent, and even better is Hua Guoli. He saw Hamsik immediately and directly found the Slovakian with a pass."

On the field, Li Ze hugged Hamsik who was running over, Li Ze was not as exaggeratedly happy as Hamsik, he felt a little regretful——

If Hamsik's first shot went straight in just now, then he would have an extra assist.

The Serie A debut with 1 goal and 1 assist defeated Roma, it was perfect.

On the other side, while Eddie was happy, he didn't change immediately, but let Macho and Vitaly retreat.

Previously, Naples' formation was 352. If one defender is missing, there will only be two people left in the defense.

However, after the formation change, that is, if Macho and Vitali were to retreat, the formation became 532, and now it is 432, which is a relatively normal defensive formation.

After watching it for 10 minutes, Eddie felt that the defense of this formation was okay, so he didn't continue to make substitutions.

How could he have imagined that when he was relieved, it was Spalletti on the opposite side who changed first.

Defender Cicinho went off, he had already received a yellow card.

Forward Mene played, and this was also the Frenchman's debut in Serie A.

Eddie Rea's face changed on the spot. This talented winger from France is not someone who can be taken lightly.

He also immediately chose to make a substitution, replacing Vitali, who played as a guest full-back, and replacing Rinaudo, who performed well in the previous qualifying match.

After he played, Mene basically lost his voice.

Mene, who was born in Ligue [-], is no worse than Serie A players in terms of body and technology.

However, in Ligue [-], he did not learn the running positions that Serie A players should have.

He didn't cooperate with his teammates tacitly, and even disrupted his own formation, so that Mene always fell into a lonely battle.

It didn't take long for Mene's side to be given up by the Roma players on the field.

Spalletti saw it, and was quite disappointed in his heart.

From the very beginning, he was dissatisfied with Mene.

He hoped that the team would have one more winger, and then the top management bought Mene.

It is not that Mene has never played as a winger before, but he is more of a midfielder and shadow forward, playing the classic slow ball.

How could such a Mene be appreciated by Spalletti?

Letting Mene come on as a substitute now is just to stop the mouths of the top management.

At that time, he can say like this——

It's not that I didn't give him a chance, it's that he didn't grasp it himself!

Of course, Spalletti didn't think about the possibility of Mene's outstanding performance hitting him in the face.

If it really happened, it would be a good thing. The players performed well and the head coach has a bright face.

In contrast, if the players perform poorly, the level of the head coach will also be questioned.

Seeing Mene's poor performance on the field, Spalletti gave a cross in his heart.

Then, he looked at Li Ze with envy and hatred, and at Naples coach Eddie Rea.

It was also trained in France, so why is Li from Huaguo so much better than Menet?

Besides, that Chinese native came from Ligue [-], the genius of Ligue [-] is not as good as that of Ligue [-]?
Why is this!
