At 22:00 Beijing time on February 4, the scorching Serie A field staged a fierce battle between defending champion Napoli and Verona. The game sent ripples through the sporting world, and although the change of manager Napoli is currently struggling to fight for the top four, they have shown a strong fighting spirit in this high-profile battle.
Napoli dropped the chain early in Serie A this season, and the hope of competing for the title is slim, and the battle for the fourth has become a big test. With 9 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses in 21 games, they are 22 points away from Inter Milan at the top of the table on the 32-point report card, but this did not make them give up easily. In the semi-finals, there are strong opponents such as Bologna, Roma, Lazio, Fiorentina and so on, and the scene is full of enthusiasm.
Verona has 22 games, 4 wins, 6 draws and 12 losses, with 18 points, although it ranks seventeenth, it is the same as Cagliari and Empoli in the relegation zone, and the relegation situation is in danger. This team is a must-win in this game and will be hoping to change their current decline with a win.
After the start of the game, Napoli took the lead in the attack, but it seemed that "thunder but not rain", and the shots kept on goal but never broke the goal. It's like a fan with a great sense of humor quipped: "Napoli's attack is like thunder, it's amazing, but it's still a little bit like rain." ”
The critical moment came, in the 72nd minute, Verona scored with a header through a free kick in front of the goal, and Kubola scored with a header to fix the score at 1:0, and Napoli's road to defending the title at home seemed to be a bit bumpy. For a moment, the fans fell silent, and even in front of the TV, I couldn't help but shake my head and sigh. In such a situation, the defending champion actually wants to capsize in the gutter?
However, the vagaries of the football field are always exciting. In the 79th minute, Napoli showed tenacious fighting spirit and leveled the score at 1:1 through Ngongo's outflanking shot. As if it was a moment of "flash of light", the Napoli fans erupted in cheers.
And in the 87th minute when the game was about to come to an end, Kvaratskhelia scored a long shot from outside the penalty area, and a world wave shocked the whole game, and Napoli reversed Verona 2:1. The mood on the pitch instantly rose to its peak with the goal, as if the whole of Napoli was cheering for this hard-won counterattack.
This match is undoubtedly a magnificent contest, full of fierce confrontations and unexpected variables. Although Napoli's road to the top four is still bumpy, the victory has undoubtedly injected a lot of confidence and motivation into them. Although the road to defending their title was difficult, they were not to be outdone and moved forward bravely.
I can't help but feel a lot of emotion about this match. Football is such a passionate and indispensable sport that makes people fall into deep immersion. Just like a goal in a game, it always flashes at the most crucial moments, and it makes people feel excited.
And every character on the pitch is also worth pondering. Kvaratskhelia's World Wave pierced the night sky like a meteor, instantly igniting the hearts of the team and fans. Ngonggo's outflanking showed wit and decisiveness on the football field, like a general on the battlefield. And Verona's Kubola, the moment he scored with a header, it was like a gorgeous music composed by a dancer on the green field.
Football is not only a game, but also a drama, a stage play that people are addicted to. The clash between Napoli and Verona once again made people feel the charm of the sport of football, not only the skill on the pitch, but also the joy of victory and the pain of frustration.
Finally, let's hope that the passion on the football field will never be extinguished. It's not just a game, it's an unforgettable time.
