From the man behind the football king to the football king

Chapter 126: Giving up the strong points to choose the weak points?

"Who asked you to shoot?" Alan muttered unhappily, of course just in a low voice.

It is recognized in the team that Kanter is not good at shooting. This guy is one of the few people in the team who has not scored a goal yet.

Regarding Kanter's fear of shooting, Bruno once joked that Manchester United couldn't shoot if there was a tile, and we couldn't shoot if there was a hurdle.

Then, the nickname "Canter" spread quietly among the Udinese team. This was both a recognition of Kanter's strong interception ability on the defensive end and a joke on his reluctance to shoot.

As a result, when Kanter wanted to kick the wall to cooperate, he shot in front of him, which naturally made Alan a little annoyed.

Then, Alan's eyes widened.

When the opponent's player took a shot, no one stepped up to block it. This really shouldn't be the case.

Guidolin also celebrated the goal with a fist on the sidelines. He didn't expect that his team would score so early. He didn't expect that the goal would be Kante, and he didn't expect that this guy would score such a wonderful goal. of super world waves.

In the end, these words turned into cheers for one name: Kante! Kanter! Kanter!

Their faces that were so excited that they couldn't believe it, told the world the joy in their hearts and their disbelief at the goal.

"N'Golo Kante's super long-range shot! This defensive midfielder that Udinese spent half a million euros to introduce from French second-division team Caen last summer scored his first goal since his move to Udinese. The first goal, he opened the scoring for Udinese in the Italian Cup final! 1:0! Udinese led Napoli!" Benedita Massola praised, "What a goal. An extremely exciting goal, this can even be included as one of the most exciting goals in the Italian Cup in recent years!”

Amid the almost crazy roar of the DJ at the scene, Kanter stood there blankly, seemingly stunned by his shocking long-range shot.

As we all know, this Udinese is not a team that is good at defense. Their defensive ability can only be regarded as middle and lower reaches in the entire Serie A.

Now, not only have they reached the Coppa Italia final again after 92 years, but they have also made a dream start. This is so dreamy that it makes Guidolin work for Udinese with him four years ago. Ambrosetti couldn't believe it.

While the Udinese players were celebrating excitedly, Benitez yelled from the sidelines. He pulled team captain Hamshik to the sidelines and made immediate arrangements and instructions for the lost goal.

………………

He jumped out of his seat after seeing the ball conceded, waving his arms and mumbling.

Bruno, who was not far away from Kanter, was stunned for a moment when he saw Kanter's long shot, and then quickly reacted, ran over and hugged Kanter, laughing and saying: "Well done, Ngo Luo! I have said before that you should always tell yourself 'Yes, I can! ' instead of always saying 'No, I can't!' Your last name is 'kante', not 'can't'!"

That kid Kante actually scored a goal? !

The game restarted, and Naples, who unexpectedly fell behind, launched a crazy attack.

"Kante! Kante! Hero of Udinese!"

Guidolin shook his head and said: "Benitez guessed that we would defend and counterattack, and I also guessed that Benitez guessed my thoughts, but I don't plan to change."

"Beautiful long-range shot! Kante scored for Udinese! The Naples people had no marking on him at all, allowing him to shoot in an unguarded place... This was really a fatal mistake on defense by Naples!" The Sky TV commentator said so.

Of course, if there must be accountability, the players on the field are indeed responsible. After all, there was no one marking Kanter before he shot.

If these words were heard by Naples players, they would probably jump up in anger. Who would have thought that a guy who can hardly shoot, a guy who has not scored a single goal in all competitions this season, and who rarely even participates in shooting, would A long shot suddenly came from that position? !

He saw the football draw a beautiful arc in the air, perfectly bypassing the offensive and defensive players in the penalty area, and finally bypassed the hands of Naples goalkeeper Reina, almost drilling into the inside of the post. Net.

"Of course...yes." Guidolin smiled.

"Aren't we going to defend and counterattack?" Ambrosetti asked in surprise.

Guidolin watched Benitez pulling Hamsik to set up tactics. He could guess what Benitez was thinking and must have stepped up the attack.

Commentators and announcers from various TV stations and radio stations broadcasting the Coppa Italia final live around the world were shouting excitedly and cheering for the goal.

He was very dissatisfied with the team for allowing Kanter to take a long shot unguarded. At this time, Benitez even forgot that when he was analyzing and deploying tactics before the game, he was also concerned about Kanter's offense. Ability is almost ignored.

When the game reached the 9th minute, Udinese paid the price on the defensive end. Alan fouled when defending Hamsik, and was shown the first card of the game by the referee Osato. yellow card.

………………

The Udinese fans in the stands raised their arms and jumped from their seats. Some were shouting "goal" and some were shouting "Long live".

"Udinese scored a goal less than two minutes into the game and they got off to a great start. What a great start!"

Udinese is just a small club. Although they have competed in Serie A for a long time, they have no competitiveness for the championship, even in competitions such as the Italian Cup, which are considered useless by those wealthy teams.

"Udinese just played a game against Juventus two days ago. The players were very exhausted. After taking the lead, they will definitely defend and counterattack and shrink the defense line, so our pressure on the defensive end will be relatively small for the time being. We must Take the opportunity to attack and try to equalize the score as soon as possible." Benitez expressed his judgment and analysis and made tactical arrangements.

Naples, which has offensive players such as Hamsik, Callejon, Insigne and Higuain, is the team with the strongest offensive firepower in Serie A this season after Juventus, Udinese and Roma. Not to be underestimated.

Good guy, this guy is really a blockbuster without even making a fuss!

………………

Kanter also reacted at this time, but still said to Bruno in disbelief: "Bruno, did I really score a goal? Can I really do it?"

Two minutes later, Udinese also lost the ball. Naples' offensive tool came into play. Hamsik, who retreated to his own goal, drove the ball straight from the backcourt and made a clever diagonal pass to find Insi who was following up on the left. Nie, the latter curled the ball with the arch of his right foot and scored into the far corner of the goal.

Udinese are celebrating and cheering for the goal. As for Naples, their head coach Benitez was very dissatisfied and unhappy with Naples conceding the ball first.

Kanter also laughed, then turned around and ran to the sideline, excitedly shouting at a camera: "I scored! I can!"

"1:0 lead, the people in Naples are anxious, we are not anxious." Guidolin said, "Moreover, many of our players played in the game two days ago and are not in good physical condition, so we cannot completely follow them in this game. Napoli fights hard."

Later, Guidolin shouted from the sidelines. He called Bruno to the sidelines and conveyed his latest tactical instructions. There was only one sentence: Strengthen the defense against Hamsik!

………………

"Guess, Benitez will tell Hamsik that we will retreat defensively, so Napoli can focus more on attack." Guidolin's own assistant said.

"GOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!"

………………

"Since you have guessed what Benitez was thinking, why don't we take them by surprise and suddenly press out to attack and catch them off guard?" Ambrosetti asked.

The huge Rome Olympic Stadium was actually quiet at this moment, and then suddenly burst out with huge cheers and noise like an explosion.

Bruno nodded and said: "Yes, you scored! You can do it!"

"Francisco, we are ahead!" Assistant coach Gabriel Ambrosetti was still shouting excitedly.

………………

"Not only are we leading by goals, we also want to win the championship trophy!" Guidolin smiled at his assistant.

"This is Udinese's first goal in the Coppa Italia final in the team's more than 100-year history! Of course, this is related to the fact that this game is the second time Udinese has reached the Coppa Italia final in history. Directly related. The last time they participated in the Italian Cup final was 92 years ago, that was the first Italian Cup, and they lost 0:0 in overtime!

"Yes, we are ahead." Guidolin smiled brightly.

"Until this moment, I really believed that this was the Italian Cup final and we scored in the final." The assistant coach was excited and nervous.

"The goal went in!! It's unbelievable! Only two minutes into the game, the goal came. It was Udinese who scored the goal. Their midfielder N'Golo Kante scored an incredible goal!" Gerardo Benigni shouted loudly, "Udinese scored first, and the goal was by a defensive midfielder like Kante who has never scored a goal this season. Did anyone think of it before the game?"

Under their strong attack, Udinese also had to shrink its defense line and turn to the defensive.

The score on the field was rewritten as 1:1!

Seeing the team equalizing the score so quickly, Benitez felt that he had seen through everything and had everything under control. He smiled and said: "Guidolin played 0:0 with Juventus. I forgot how bad his team's defense is this season! He actually retreated to defend after taking the lead. This is a trap! Now let's see when we can overtake the score!"
