Chapter 361 Facing the Flying Donkey
The Bentecetti Stadium can accommodate up to 39210 spectators, which is more than 14 times the population of the entire Chievo community. However, besides the locals, there are also fans from nearby Vicenza and Brescia.
The entire stadium is less than one-third full. This attendance rate is in the second division, which is actually not bad.
There are only more than 4 people in the small town of Empoli. If you want to fill a stadium, it is not enough to fill all the fans in the two places.
Since it was an away game, there were only a hundred or so Empoli fans who came to watch the game. They were all sitting in a side stand, waving flags with the Empoli team logo in their hands.
With the whistle of the referee, the Chievo team, wearing all yellow home jerseys, took the lead in attacking.
Feilu launched a wave of strong attacks as soon as the game opened.Three strikers stormed the Empoli defense.
Yue Feng looked up, and saw a 28-year-old winger approaching him, who was almost the same size and shape as himself.
"Number 19 Lovalia." After quickly finding the player's information in his mind, Yue Feng immediately took a defensive stance.
Lovalia is a local. He grew up in the Chievo youth training team when he was a child. Later, he failed to play in many first-tier clubs and returned to his parent team in his thirties.
It stands to reason that there are very few 185cm tall wingers on the football field, but Lovalia is not slow, and he is also very dominant in grabbing points and headers, somewhat a bit like the Croatian winger Perisic back then .
Yue Feng didn't dare to underestimate his opponent, seeing Lovalia running, he immediately stepped forward and pressed the opponent to the sideline.
Lovalia tried to break through several times, but Yue Feng did not lose to him physically, and his defensive position was also firm. Road, constantly being squeezed to the sideline.
Seeing that there was no hope of controlling the ball, Lovalia raised his foot and kicked the ball hard towards Yue Feng the moment the ball went out of the sideline.
This is his helpless move. He wants to bounce the ball to the opposing player and then go out of the sideline, so that Chievo can get a throw-in.
But strange things happened.
I saw that although the ball kicked by Lovalia hit Yue Feng's calf, it bounced back and forth between the opponent's legs and landed firmly under his feet.
"What's the situation?!" Lovalia was stunned for a moment. He didn't know whether he didn't kick well, or the opponent's ball control was amazing. Such a rebounding ball so close at hand was actually resolved by the opponent. .
After getting the ball, Yue Feng didn't stay for a moment, turned around and dribbled the ball towards Chievo half-court.
Facing the two opponents wearing yellow jerseys who came up to intercept, Yue Feng was not in a hurry to break through.
This is also the tactic that Nokia developed before the game.
Today's opponent Chievo has a big weakness, that is, the players are generally too old.
Like the 29-year-old Lovalia, he is already the youngest player to start Chievo, and the rest are all over 30 years old.
Generally, the second-tier teams often have a part of the old and the young. When the players are added, the age structure of the entire team is considered reasonable.
However, Chievo's team building has not been successful in recent years, and it has gradually become the current state of only old but not young.
Although it is said that an old family is like a treasure, players like Empoli's captain Luca and striker Mateucci can provide the team with rich experience and can also help young players grow.
But if all of them are veterans, then this team will be over.
Ranocchia even met a few veterans who played Serie A with him on the court.
These people have a lot of experience, but they are weak in speed and physical fitness. When Ranocchia was formulating tactics, he decided not to rush to attack in the first half, but to use up the opponent's physical energy while defending firmly.
Therefore, Yue Feng and the others played pass control in the midfield.
"What the hell, do you think my old guy can't push a car? It's too small." Chievo, who was wearing the captain's armband, spat on the grass and cursed secretly.
"Brothers, grab it!" The 33-year-old Segre waved his long arms and directed his teammates 38-year-old Obi and 35-year-old Dinoa to start pressing.
At the same time, Chievo's two wingers also retreated to assist the midfielders to frantically intercept the ball at the feet of the Empoli players.
Chievo's 433 formation also instantly became 4231, not losing half a point to Empoli in terms of the number of midfielders.
After Chievo and his group of veterans were irritated, they all performed at an extraordinary level with a burst of "crazy energy", as if they had regained their youthful glory.
Yue Feng seldom saw 30+ players fight so hard, so he couldn't help giving them a thumbs up.
And Empoli's No. 10 central midfielder Ricky was directly shocked by this formation, accidentally made a mistake in returning the ball, and handed over the ball.
Chievo's veterans took the opportunity to play possession with Empoli in turn. They had more experience and finer footwork. Empoli's midfielders Thomas and Siredi were too far away.
Moreover, Chievo's captain, Segre, is very good at grasping the rhythm of the game. After a slow-paced passing and receiving, he suddenly made a 45-degree diagonal pass and hoisted the ball into Empoli's penalty area.
Unexpectedly, after playing this game for more than ten minutes, it was actually the elderly Feilu who took the lead in making a threatening attack.
Segre's kick has a certain arc, and the landing point is his own high center forward, the team's second youngest number 9 Grubacs.
However, at this time, only one person in Empoli's backcourt leaped up quickly and pushed Segre's long pass first.Yue Feng saw that this person was the captain Luca.
At the critical moment, the defense in the middle has to rely on veterans.Like Chievo, Empoli also has such an experienced veteran who can stand up at critical moments.
The ball was pushed out of the penalty area and flew to the left of Empoli.
Yue Feng took the opportunity and rushed forward to meet the ball's landing point.At the moment Chievo right winger Lovalia also posted up from behind.
When Yue Feng saw this, he didn't say anything, he directly used his back to support the opponent, first locked the position, and at the same time stretched out his left foot to catch Luka's clearance ball.
But Lovalia didn't give it for nothing, he squeezed Yue Feng with his body, and at the same time, he was ready to wait for Yue Feng to catch the ball and start to grab it.
But the ball landed on Yue Feng's feet, and there was a muffled "poof". When Lovalia searched for the sound and looked forward, he couldn't even see the shadow of the ball.
But Yue Feng turned around quickly, bypassed Lovalia, and ran behind him.
It turned out that while catching Lucca's ball, Yue Feng kicked the falling ball upwards with his feet, and the ball immediately bounced high and passed over Lovalia's head.
"It's a cool and beautiful move to pass the ball with the back!" Ranocchia saw the scene just now, and couldn't help sighing that Yue Feng might be the young man with the best footwork he had ever seen.
