Lord of Greenery

Chapter 196 Superstar Level
In the 18th round of the league, which is also the first round after the winter break, Naples' opponent is Catania.

Catania is now ranked 9th in the league, a mid-range team in Serie A, and there are no decent stars in the history of the team.

In the eyes of many people, such a team is not an opponent of Naples at all.

Even all players in Naples have such an idea, and they don't think highly of Catania.

Moreover, this time Naples is playing at home, and the fans will come to Sao Paulo to become their best No.12.

Coach Rea noticed the bad atmosphere in the team and warned: "Don't forget Torino!"

In the last game of last season, Naples lost to the relegation team of Turin, which was a big upset.

After a winter break, many players have forgotten about it.

Now, under Rhea's reminder, everyone recalled it again.

Looking at his own players who are getting serious again, Rhea is satisfied, and even a little proud.

He saw the team's problems in time, and then figured out a way to solve this problem. This sense of accomplishment made Rhea unable to stop.

After the game started, Rhea was no longer in such a good mood.

Today Napoli's formation is 343, the goalkeeper is Jezzo, the three defenders are Santa Croce, Cannavaro and Rinaudo, and the four midfielders are Macho, Gargano, Hamsik and Aronika , the three forwards are Li Ze, Sarajeta and Lavezzi.

This is a very offensive formation. It can be seen from this formation alone that Reya doesn't care much about this opponent.

However, after 30 minutes passed, Naples didn't even score a goal, and they couldn't even grab the advantage on the court.

Although Naples is generally attacking, it has not had a good chance.

When Li Ze was being strictly defended, other players seemed unable to stand up.

Ravitch and Hamsik are not in good condition, and they have missed 30 opportunities in just 3 minutes.

On the contrary, it was Catania's side, every time they counterattacked, Rhea was frightened.

Naples' goal was not breached, which is already the result of the excellent performance of the defensive players.

The more she thought about Reya, the more anxious she became, and the more anxious Reya was, the more she wanted to do something.

In the 32nd minute, Rhea chose to make a substitution.

Sarajeta off, Blasi on.

A defensive midfielder replaced a center forward, from which we can see Reya's thinking.

In the stands, some fans booed dissatisfiedly.

In fact, after replacing Blasi, Gargano was freed from the many defensive tasks he was forced to undertake.

His liberation further liberated Hamsik and even Li Ze.

In the 35th minute, Lavitch made a long-range shot after breaking through from the wing, and the ball hit the crossbar, causing a crowd of exclamations and sighs.

Rhea looked refreshed on the coach's bench——

This is the best chance Naples has created in this game.

In the 39th minute, Li Ze broke through with the ball and was fouled, winning a free kick for the team.

Gargano took the penalty. Uruguay's midfielder kicked the ball into the crowd. Hamsik Hamsik, who was nearer, failed to reach it, and the ball flew to Li Ze's side.

Seeing the ball at the wrong height, Li Ze adjusted his body.

After his shooting ability reaches full value, his ability to handle the ball is beyond what ordinary people can imagine.

Li Ze saw the trajectory of the ball, squeezed Telic away with the strength of his juniors, and then took off and volleyed sideways to shoot directly.

Goalkeeper Bisari thought he would stop the ball first, but he didn't expect him to shoot directly.

Watching the ball hit the far corner, Bizari froze in place, unable to comprehend what he saw.

With the ball at that height, how could anyone choose to shoot directly?

And it's so accurate!

1: 0!

Li Ze opened the scoring for the team!

"This is Naples' first goal in the second half, scored by Li Ze, a native of China!"

The cheers of the Naples fans came from the stands.

Everyone has a good eye, and it is natural to see that Li Ze's shot is very difficult!
Under the organization of a fan group, some fans sang the song they composed for Li Ze.

Li Ze can understand Italian, but not Italian songs.

But Li Ze could clearly hear them calling their names in the song.

Li Ze was a little moved, and kissed the team emblem on the jersey when celebrating.

"Li Ze is very loved by the fans. This is his 18th goal in the 14th league game he played for Naples." He Weiyu said proudly.

"He is still at the top of the league's top scorer list. Judging by his current state, it is not impossible to get the final Golden Boot." Zhang Lu also laughed.

Hearing what he said, some less confident fans couldn't help but think that last season, Del Piero only scored 21 goals and won the top scorer.

But judging from the current situation, if Li Ze wants to get this goal, it may not be enough to score more than 20 goals.

This season, the state of Gilardino, Ibrahimovic and Diwayo should not be underestimated.

On the field, after Li Ze scored this goal, the situation was completely changed.

With a goal advantage, Naples can fight back with confidence.

Comparing hard power between the two sides, Naples itself is a little stronger.

Now that Naples has put on such a formation, Catania suddenly became very passive.

Although knowing that Naples took the initiative to give up possession, the Catania players still had to swallow this bait.

If Catania wanted to win, or even draw with their opponents, they had to choose to attack.

There is no difference between losing one and losing two, both are three points lost.

In the 43rd minute, Li Ze received a through pass from Gargano outside the penalty area. Li Ze glanced at the goal and chose to volley the goal without stopping the ball.

The ball hit the top right corner, and Bizari couldn't make a save and could only watch the ball cross the goal line.

2: 0!

At the last moment of the first half, Li Ze scored twice!

"gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!"

"Go in again! Li Ze scored another goal!"

"This is the fourth time Li Ze has scored twice this season. Including the Europa League, he has scored twice and scored two hat-tricks in total."

"I dare say that Mourinho wants him not just to disturb the morale of Naples." He Wei said confidently.

"Li Ze now has the strength of a superstar, and his football skills, especially his shooting ability, have become stronger again. It's really amazing." Zhang Lu was also amazed.

Since this season, Li Ze has come step by step. They all watched Li Ze grow up with their own eyes.

At the beginning of the season, Li Ze was also very good, but not as good as now.

At that time, Li Ze was not taken seriously, but now Li Ze has been strictly guarded by Catania, but he still scored two goals.

This kind of performance can already be called a superstar.

Well deserved!
