Chapter 25 Absolute Ping

Author: Entering the painting of lovesickness dream

Bari's offense got the results they wanted, and Empoli is still behind them.

The difference of one goal is not that big, but can such a gap definitely lead to a reversal?

The answer is no.

To reverse the game, Empoli's players need to be fully prepared. Under the current circumstances, Empoli's advancement is not enough to pose a threat to Bari's goal.

Castilla's pace with the ball was not fast, and they were seeking more stability at this time.

As professional players, Empoli's midfielders clearly know that Barry's defense will be very "ferocious" in the final seconds before the end of the game.

Especially when they are one goal ahead, they will not give Empoli a chance to equalize the score.

There was another point that caught Castile's attention.

Barry and the others made substitutions to kill the remaining game time. This is also a common method.

Faced with this situation, Castile set its sights on Li Feng.

At this time, Li Feng is still at the front. He is in a good position, but it is not easy to pass the ball to the opponent.

I don't know whether it was the arrangement of Barry's head coach or the spontaneous behavior of the players, but Li Feng was surrounded by Barry's midfielder and backcourt.

The defensive area formed by three to four people was also noticed by Li Feng.

Regarding this situation, Li Feng knew very well that if he wanted to break the situation, he would need the help of his teammates.

Especially for Pusciarelli's position, there are only full-backs watching around him, and there are many people around him, which means that he needs to move to the wing. No matter what the final result is, Li Feng needs to help his teammates behind him.

Make some space.

Li Feng looked back at Castilla and looked around at the defensive players.

As Castilla assigned Moro, Li Feng quickly moved towards the wing.

Such action attracted Bari's central defender Calderoni and one of their goalscorers today, Chaudone.

The space in the middle was given up, but after Morrow noticed Li Feng's movements, he frowned.

From a personal point of view, he doesn't really like Li Feng's behavior of playing side, which will make the role of the fulcrum in the middle disappear. But the reality is that Li Feng's playing side gives Castilla a chance to step in.

"Lee chose to go wide? Is this Empoli's new tactic?"

Regarding the center's widening, Wright's understanding is a new tactic arranged by the head coach.

But the reality is that Li Feng pulled wide to make himself more comfortable and to give his midfield teammates a chance to step in.

Moro and Castilla's continuous collision with the wall tore apart Bari's midfield defense.

Cepitelli, who needed the part to come up, did not dare to move his position easily. He dragged behind and shouted loudly for Calderoni to come back.

"There is a problem with Calderoni's selection. As a central defender, he should squat in his own position instead of being taken to the wing by Li Feng."

Li Feng's pull seems to be a feint now.

The center back Calderoni who was marking him swapped positions with his own full-back, which was not good news for Barry.

"Morro received a pass from Castilla and he split the ball again."

"Lee's cycling made Calderoni keep retreating."

"Li's advancement rhythm suddenly changed, and Calderoni predicted that there was a major problem!"

In Wright's voice, Li Feng directly passed Calderoni, and his inverted triangle cross tore open Barry's defense.

"Lee did not choose to hit the goal. He chose to pass the ball in an inverted triangle. Morrow followed up and pushed into the far corner!"

"Gulnar touched the football, his fingertips touched the ball, and the ball refracted!"

"GOALLLLL!!!!!"

"Although Gurna touched the ball, the refracted ball eventually hit the inside of the post and reflected into the net. Empoli equalized the score in the 89th minute!"

The score of 3-3 allowed Empoli to escape temporarily.

But the game is not over yet, they still have the last time - injury time.

Considering that both sides did not waste much time in this game, this means that the injury time will not be too long.

Sure enough, when the time reached 90 minutes, the sidelines gave the time for injury time - 2 minutes!

2 minutes also means that Barry has only one last chance to attack!

After Joao Silva kicked off the ball, he quickly moved forward.

His movements were very fast, but Li Feng's movements were not slow either.

But as soon as Joao Silva kicked off the ball, Li Feng rushed out. He quickly rushed in front of Chaudone who was in possession of the ball.

"Li is still working hard to press forward at this time."

When Wright talked about pressing, he paused. The situation at this time was considered a relatively comfortable time for Empoli. As long as they forced the opponent through running and could not quickly give the ball to the frontcourt, then they would

You can get 1 point per game.

Although I don’t really want to say that they should have scored three points, for Empoli in this game, they need to consider how to stabilize their defense. Only with good defense can they stabilize themselves in Serie B.

's ranking.

Under Li Feng's pressing, the ball was always in Barry's midfield.

Sarri looked at the situation on the sidelines, and the worry was always there on his brow.

The result of this game is of great significance to him.

The carefully arranged tactics were dismantled by Barry, and the two consecutive goals scored in the first half were enough to prove it.

"drop!!!"

"The game is over. Bari drew with top-ranked Empoli at home. This result is acceptable to both sides."

"At this time, other Serie B matches have ended. Let's take a look at the standings."

"The first place is still Palermo, they are at the top with 64 points, the second place is Empoli, after the draw in this game, they only have 55 points, followed by Crotone

With Latina, the two teams are tied with 51 points, and fifth place is Cesena with 44 points.”

Palermo leads the way in points, which also proves their hot state after the start of the second half. As for Empoli, the good state in the first half of the season seems to have disappeared with the end of the winter window.

Although they are currently ranked second in points, this 4-point gap is not enough for them to sit back and relax. If they need to get this second place, then they must find their form as soon as possible and also help recover from injuries.

The returning players have returned to their best competitive condition.

Only in this way can they keep their second place!

As for the championship?

This may disappoint the fans. In the first half of the season, they occupied the top spot with 39 points. Before the winter window came, everyone believed that Empoli was the favorite to win the Serie B championship this season.

But with the beginning of the winter window, Empoli's state took a turn for the worse. They gave up their advantage and fell behind their opponents by a large margin. For fans, the gap was quite big!
