Chapter 20 Victory

There is nothing wrong with the idea of ​​passing the ball, but it is a pity that this opportunity was directly destroyed by the defensive player.

Fortunately, there was a corner kick next, which was an excellent scoring opportunity for Empoli.

As Empoli's No. 9 position, Li Feng has not scored a goal in two games. He urgently hopes to break this goal drought in this game.

He has participated in 7 rounds of Empoli's games so far and has only scored 4 goals and 2 assists, which seems really average.

But for Sarri, Li Feng's performance at the center position is reassuring. Although the statistics are not good, the help he can bring to the team is something that some statistics cannot reflect.

Just like the corner kick at this time.

After Li Feng noticed the movement in the corner kick on the right, he observed the opponent's movements. After determining that the header could not pose an immediate threat to the goal, Li Feng set his sights outside the penalty area.

As this high-quality corner kick was taken, Li Feng was fully prepared.

After blocking Adeyo with his back, Li Feng's eyes fell on the football flying over.

At this time, he was also surrounded by Regina, but Li Feng's explosive power gave him an advantage in the crowd.

To the surprise of Reggina's players, Li Feng's first choice was not to header the ball, but to head the ball outside the penalty area. This seemed to "help" them relieve the pressure in front of the goal.

But is this the reality?

Li Feng pushed the ball to the outside, where Empoli defender Rugani swung his left foot towards the ball, and the ball drew a beautiful arc and hit the dead center of the goal.

As the football entered the net, Empoli's home court erupted in cheers like a roaring tsunami.

This is good news for the home fans, they are ahead!

After the head coach Sarri scored a goal on the side of the court, he rushed towards his assistant coach excitedly, and the two hugged each other.

For Sarri, after another three-game losing streak, he is under a lot of pressure, especially since they have already won the first place in the league in the first half of the schedule. Only a short time has passed and they are already 7 points behind the first place.

Divided!

If he cannot lead Empoli out of trouble in the next game, then he will be fired directly if nothing happens!

In order to do his job, he must put enough pressure on the players.

After a short celebration, the game continued.

In the 34th minute of the first half, Empoli got another chance.

It was Moro's side again. His sliding tackle kicked the ball out of the sideline. Then Reggina made a key mistake in throwing the ball. Moro grabbed the ball in front of Reggina's player.

Come down.

With his forward pass, Li Feng was already flying towards the ball's landing point.

In terms of speed, Li Feng is faster than Reggina's defenders. Although they have a positional advantage, the situation at this time cannot be compensated by the positional advantage.

Li Feng, who was running quickly, noticed Adeyo's position, and it seemed that he wanted to use his huge body to stop Li Feng's progress.

But when was Li Feng afraid of physical confrontation?

The two collided with each other as expected. Although Adeyo's shoulder-sharpening movements were heavy, Li Feng was not inferior at all. Even his thin-looking body gave Adeyo enough trouble.

During the confrontation, Li Feng took advantage and quickly protected the ball under his feet.

When facing Adeyo's partner, Li Feng kept pedaling on the bicycle to make the opponent dare not act rashly.

When Li Feng caught up with the opponent and kept retreating, he suddenly changed his rhythm. This time, Lucioni slipped and lost his "control" over Li Feng.

This mistake led to Li Feng's next goal.

It was the familiar left foot again. This time Li Feng did not waste the opportunity. The curved ball with his left foot fell steadily into the net.

Simultaneously with the goal, the on-site DJ's long-pitched "GOALLLLL!!!!!"

With 2 goals in hand, this looks solid for Empoli.

In the 44th minute of the game, it was a familiar feeling again. This time Reggina's midfield was "refreshed" again. Spafo, who was playing forward, actually sent the ball directly to the feet of Valdi Fiore.

This situation made Reggina's head coach furious. Such a low-level mistake was beyond his expectation.

Faced with the big gift, Empoli naturally accepted it with a smile.

Valdi Fiore's long pass was easily passed by Li Feng.

As Li Feng responded, Pusharelli fired a heavy shot, and Empoli won another victory!

The 3-0 score turned the atmosphere at home into a sea of ​​jubilation. Obviously the fans liked this "result".

After the first half, Empoli entered the second half with a three-goal lead. This was also their largest score since the second half of the schedule. This was also the reason why the players "drifted" shortly after the start of the second half.

In the 49th minute of the second half, Morrow made a dangerous move by flashing his spikes during a tackle, which earned him a Topaz God of War card.

The same situation also occurred in the 61st minute of the game. Empoli's Eramo received a yellow card warning on the front foot, and Adejo, who yelled at Reggina, placed Li Feng in front of the penalty area.

This was another yellow card and also gave Empoli a key set piece.

Here comes something that worries Coach Reggina. Empoli, who seemed to be having some fun, chose a tactical set piece this time.

The kicker's fake move deceived the defender, and Pusciarelli scored directly from the last kick.

4-0, this is the biggest score Empoli has achieved in recent games. For them, this is a morale-boosting game. If this situation continues, they can stabilize their current position.

The scoring of this goal also declared the end of the game.

In the following time, Reggina gave up struggling, and they had no desire to attack in the last 20 minutes, which also allowed Empoli to abide by the default rules.

A 4-goal victory greatly boosted Empoli's morale and at the same time stabilized their second place in the league.

This is a pressure release for Sarri.

Especially when he saw the league rankings, he believed that they could steadily advance to Serie A this season.

After 30 rounds, the ranking of Serie B is relatively clear.

1, Palermo: 57 points

2, Empoli: 50 points

3. Crotone: 46 points

4, Latina: 45 points

5, Spezia: 41 points

6, Cesena: 37 points

They are still 7 points behind Palermo, but this time they are 4 points ahead of the third place behind them, which is good news for them.

There are still 12 league rounds left. Let's see if Empoli can survive the end of the season in second place in the league?
Chapter completed!
