Greenery on the back

Chapter 423

Chapter 423

In November, Yue Feng ate a big cake in the locker room after the game against Ascoli.

When Luka, Mateucci, Stefano and other teammates sang the birthday song, Yue Feng realized that they were celebrating his birthday.

This is of course not his real birthday, but the physical age has finally reached the age of 18, which also means that he can do many things that minors cannot do.

For example, moving out from the team's dormitory, and being able to participate in transfers without restrictions.

Inter Milan's sports director Cordoba came to Empoli for the first time and re-signed a five-year professional contract with Yue Feng.

The media also gave an estimate of Yue Feng's worth of 800 million euros based on his recent performance and the honor of winning the Asian Youth Championship.

Not long ago, the AFC announced the best team for the Asian Youth Championship, and Yue Feng appeared in the best team as a left back.

He also topped the list of assists, with as many as five goals behind No.2.

Chu Long won the Asian Youth Championship Golden Boot and the best right forward award.He He, Li Jie, Lai Changcheng and others were also in the formation, accounting for half of the 11 people.

Most of the 800 million worth is related to the Asian Youth Championship. Yue Feng can be said to have gained both fame and fortune this time.

Uchida Maren also got the glory of the Asian Youth Championship, and his value as the best right back soared to 500 million.

Relying on the rapid progress of these two people, Empoli's team's total worth finally broke through the 5000 million mark.

Although this price is not as good as a main player of a wealthy team, in Serie B, Empoli is considered the top few.

At the end of the month, the Coppa Italia battle was rekindled after three months, and it has now entered the fourth round.

Empoli's opponent in the fourth round is still the Serie A team, and it is still the famous Naples.

Although Naples has been relatively sluggish in Serie A in recent years, and was reduced to No.10 last season, and could not even qualify for the Europa League, a skinny camel is bigger than a skinny horse, and Naples with its strong background is still quite a team. formidable opponent.

Compared with Empoli, Naples is a mountain that is not easy to climb. In terms of value alone, Naples is several times that of Empoli.

Although Naples is no longer star-studded, there are no world-class superstars like Zoff and Maradona, and there are no big-name players such as Cavani, Lavezzi, Hamsik, etc., but many people Still a strong player in Serie A.

For example, their No. 12 central midfielder Elmas is good at dribbling and holding the ball, and he is also very aggressive.

No. 3 central defender Luperto has outstanding stealing ability, and he is also an opponent that makes it extremely difficult for forwards to get rid of when he is staring at people.

This Luperto is very interesting. When he was young, he was loaned to Empoli by Naples for a year.

Naples also likes to promote their own youth players. Their No. 11 right-wing defender Zanon and goalkeeper Daniele have been here since the youth team.

The biggest star in Naples is the former Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus, who was just hired from the Premier League this year.

The 33-year-old Brazilian Gabriel Jesus became famous at a young age. He is flexible in front of the goal and has a strong ability to grab points. After Neymar retired, he was the first brother of the Brazilian team for a while.

However, as he got older recently, Jesus gradually became unable to play the main role in Manchester City. Naples made a very tempting offer and bought Jesus.

If Jesus' coming to Naples is still suspected of retirement, then another ace is regarded by the team as the cornerstone of revival.

Domago Bradaric, the 30-year-old Croatian left-winger is versatile and skilled.

He proved himself in Ligue [-] in his early years, and now he has become the team's artifact on the left when he comes to Naples.

Their current coach Inle also played for Naples for four years in the player era.

Under the command of Mazari, the then horse coach, Inle won the Coppa Italia as a player.

Inle, who studied under Mazari, entered Naples, and also played the back three that Mazari was good at back then. Today, he even formed the same 352 formation as Empoli.

However, this season, Inle tried his best to enter the European theater in the league. He did not put Jesus and Bradaric in the starting position at the beginning of the game. They only sent half of the main players to the game.

The reason why Naples does not attach importance to this game is to save strength for the league on the one hand.

In the next round of Serie A, they will face the powerful Roma team, so they don't want to consume too much in the Coppa Italia, which has little hope.

On the other hand, they didn't think highly of Empoli at all.

Although Empoli eliminated Sampdoria in the last round, it did not attract enough attention from Naples coach Inle.

Not long ago, Naples defeated Dybala's sailor Samp 2-0 in the league. Therefore, I feel that the Serie A team was overthrown by the Serie B team in the last round.

But Yue Feng and the others attached great importance to the Coppa Italia, and all the main players played.

Mateucci partnered with Stefano as the double forwards, Yue Feng and Uchida separated on the two wings, No. 10 Rich was dispatched in the middle, and the two defensive midfielders were No. 8 Thomas and No. 6 Siredy.

On the back line, captain Luca took No. 2 Youre and No. 4 Simon to block the penalty area, while the main goalkeeper Abeto stood on the goal line.

The two sides also played 352, one played with all the main force, and the other rotated half of the team.It is really hard to predict who will advance to the next quarter-finals.

Shortly after the opening, Naples launched a two-wing attack.

Inle played in a three-back formation when he was a player, so he is very familiar with this style of play.

The right wingback No. 11 Zanon took the lead to hit Empoli's left with the ball, and the wingback teammates on the other side also stepped forward. The two wingbacks almost played as wingers.

This allowed Naples to increase their numbers on the offensive line sharply, putting great pressure on Empoli's defense.

But Yue Feng and others who were also familiar with 352 quickly responded.Their two wings retreated, forming two arcs of defense together with the double midfielder and the three defenders.

Due to the same formation, the players of each team quickly found their opponents, and it was Yue Feng who came out to block Naples' flank attack first.

The right-wing Wei Zhanong faced Yue Feng but didn't care, and rushed towards this side with the ball, without any intention of cooperating with his teammates.

In Zha Nong's view, it was very easy to get past Yue Feng.

Yue Feng stared at the opponent intently. From Zhanong's several dribbles just now, it can be seen that the opponent's speed is not faster than his own.

But Zanon's ability to control the ball is not weak, which can be seen from his few movements of catching and stroking the ball.

If you go straight to the shovel, [-]% of them will be dodged by your opponent.And Zanon is about the same size as himself, so it is not the best strategy to rely solely on physical fitness.

Thinking of this, Yue Feng had no choice but to lower his center of gravity, put on a defensive posture, and was ready to see every move.
