Chapter 15 The Third Round of the Cup

The growth of young players is a long process, and Li Yu went from a football illiterate to a professional player in less than 2 years. This kind of serious growth is more or less flawed. He has been experiencing Li Yu alone, but this is also his shortcoming. Without the cooperation of his teammates, he lacks the ability to cooperate with others. This is not the experience of light brain. It can only rely on Li Yu's own accumulation in future training competitions.

"It can be said that I joined the first team. Can I score a few goals so that I can inflate enough to ignore the overall tactics of the team?"

"Old Mr. Leopold is right. It's a 'cancer' for me or the team to play like this all the time!"

"I'm still complacent! I will always remind myself in the future!"

Li Yu kept thinking about herself and gradually knew her shortcomings. She decided to go to the training base early tomorrow morning to talk to the head coach Deshang, hoping that he could understand his poor performance in training.

......

"Sir, I think I've figured it out!" Li Yu whispered with guilt.

Deshang stared at his disciple, "Okay, what did you think about?"

"I think the main reason is that I was carried away from yesterday's training, and my self-confidence expanded too quickly and lost myself. Originally, cooperation and running position were the training I needed to strengthen, but yesterday I abandoned these training opportunities and did it all by myself. I'm sorry to disappoint you, sir. After Li Yu finished speaking, he was already at the bottom.

"You can quickly recognize your shortcomings, which is the most important condition for the success of young players. How many years of young and famous players have ended in a bleak way. LEE, your football road has just begun. I hope you can always remember what you said today." De Shang looked at Li Yu with relief, and his voice was very peaceful. After saying that, he came to him and suddenly said loudly, "Look up, you don't have to apologize to me. What you are sorry for is the football in your heart!"

"Mr.... I know!" Li Yu raised her head firmly and said word by word.

"I've been in the team for less than a month, and so many things happen inside and outside the field. This boy is really a careless master!" De Shang sighed in his heart, looked at his watch, and said to Li Yu, "You can practice together today. Go change your clothes and prepare for training."

After this suspension, Li Yu obviously strengthened her cooperation with her teammates on the training ground. The Juventus defender found that Li Yu was more difficult to deal with. He is now like a sponge, absorbing football nutrients from everyone on the training ground.

......

Li Yu is getting better on the training ground, and the game is gradually approaching. The club has adjusted its cup strategy. In the next game, Juventus will play with the main lineup, which means that Li Yu will continue to look forward to his first start...

On August 28, in the third round of the Coppa Italia, Naples played against Juventus. In this game, Juventus had to wear a red away team uniform for the third time.

Before the game, the media of the teams on both sides cheered up for the teams they supported.

"Torino Sports" exaggerated the team's excellent performance recently, highlighting Li Yu, a substitute with a good performance. In the words of the article, even if Treze can't get on it, the main starting forward Bozinov can't open the situation, Li Yu will also score a substitute to save the team. They have no prediction at all. I thought that the team would lose, but the whole article analyzed how to break through the goal of Naples.

Naples Daily hailed this game as the team's revival battle: "We have added a lot of good players this summer, and the team's goal is also positioned to upgrade. Victory over Juventus will make us full of confidence in achieving the goal."

The ball game that starts at 10 p.m. is not as lively and intense as the media before the game. Juventus, who played away from home, formed a single striker formation, and Naples was also cautious. The two sides played very conservatively and kept testing the other side without rushing to attack.

In the first half, the score of 0-0 fully illustrates this point.

The head coaches of both sides want to change the situation in the second half. Although there is no substitution, they have made corresponding tactical adjustments.

Napoli, who played at home, began to attack in the second half, frequently attacking Juventus' defenders with long passes.

Such efforts have finally paid off. In the 54th minute, midfielder Boliasino found the team's striker Calaio with an accurate long pass, who shot through Buffon's ten fingers.

The score was rewritten to 1-0 by Naples.

At this time, the picture of the TV broadcast gave a picture of Li Yu sitting on the bench and was annoyed. It seemed that the TV director was looking forward to his appearance.

And Deschamps stood on the sidelines and was also thinking about the substitution. From the first half to the current front line, Bodinov was successfully frozen by three home team defenders and couldn't get the ball. There was no danger at all. Now the team's attack is all supported by captain Pierro. Now that the score is behind, the front line must be changed to reverse the score.

In the substitution, Deschamps decisively replaced Bojinov with Li Yu in two minutes behind. Deschamp's task given to Li Yu on the field was to help Pierro score a goal.

For the new Li Yu, the home team Napoli coach Regia has fully studied that dealing with such a fast and first-class player is still the way to deal with Bojinov and prevent Li Yu from getting the ball.

Li Yu's large-scale running on the court made the guards a little embarrassed. Running left and backward consumed a lot of the physical strength of the home team's defenders. Such interception tactics began to cause their physical problems.

Piero, who received support, has more room for movement. Now he can calmly sort out the Juventus attack. This situation did not last long before Juventus began to launch a very threatening attack.

In the 65th minute, the home team defender with reduced physical strength finally had a loophole in the blockade of Li Yu. Li Yu, who got the ball, quickly divided the ball to Nedved, who was in a better position on the side. The latter found that the attention of the home team's defenders was still on Li Yu and decisively caught the ball and rushed in...

After the ball was scored, Li Yu did not stop and accelerated to the gap. His front insertion successfully took away two defenders.

At this time, there was a huge gap on the right side of Naples, and the ball quickly shifted at Nedvid's feet and flew to the right.

What appeared there was Piero. He unloaded the ball and had no one to defend Piero. He easily cut the ball. Before he came back to defend little Cannavaro, he kicked out a wonderful arc ball. The ball went straight to the bottom of the net against the post on the left side of the Neapolitan goalkeeper Izzo.
