Chapter 187 Empoli (for Subscription)
Although the current Serie A is not as star-studded as it was a few years ago, it is undeniable that Serie A is still at the top of the world. This can be seen from the fact that Cagliari has a few familiar players in every opponent team.
For example, Cagliari's opponent in this round is the penultimate round in the first half of the season. The opponent's target performance is extremely poor. After the first 6 rounds, Empoli only scored [-] points.
But it is such a last-to-last team, with Gerrera, Foggia, Rocky, and Di Natale in the team. Although the current Di Natale is not the old monster later, Li Yi has seen Di Natale through the eyes of scouts.
In fact, Li Yi also considered Di Natale this winter, but Li Yi clearly remembered that Empoli was relegated after this season, and Di Natale moved to Udinese at a very low price.
So this winter is not the best time to make a move. As for whether to win Udinese, Li Yi has absolute confidence. He firmly believes that after the end of this season, Cagliari will rank above Udinese in the standings.
Besides, the head coach will also become an important factor for a player to choose that team. Li Yi's reputation for being good at training players has spread throughout Italy.
It's still a matter of the head coach. With Empoli's lineup, no matter what, they shouldn't play like this. It's like last season in Serie B. Cagliari led by Ventura and Cagliari led by Li Yi are completely two teams.
In fact, there were rumors before the game that this game will be a life-and-death battle for Empoli coach Baldini. If he defeats Cagliari, the coaching position will be kept. If he loses the game, he will pack up and leave.
As the saying goes, colleagues are enemies, especially in the competition, Li Yi will not sympathize with Baldini, so at the beginning of the competition, Cagliari launched an offensive.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL5 minutes Cagliari scored in just 5 minutes of the opening."
"Toni Luca Toni It was center Toni who opened the scoring for Cagliari, a header near the penalty spot, and an assist from Ribery."
"It seems that the two who performed poorly in the last game seem to have regained their form in this game." From the beginning of the game, these two people have made every effort to avenge their shame in this game, and even the entire Cagliari team has worked hard because they want to keep the fourth position, because they want to go to the highest stage in Europe after the season.
Empoli?It can only be a pity to continue to stay in the last place. As for Baldini who lost his job after the game, I wish him the best of luck in finding the next club.
On the court, the game quickly resumed. After scoring the goal, Cagliari not only boosted his morale, but also became stronger and stronger. Anti-customer?Who cares about this at this time, the offense is over.
In the 7th minute, Cagliari attacked Empoli's restricted area again. This time it was Ribery's solo performance, but in the final choice, Ribery was alone, otherwise the score might have been 2:0.
When Ribery broke into the penalty area with the ball, Empoli's center was empty, more precisely, Zola's position was empty. If Ribery passes the ball at this time, Zola has a probability of more than 80.00% to score.
But it's a pity that Ribery chose to come by himself. Of course, no one blamed Ribery at this time. On the court, players can make any choice they want. Besides, Ribery may not necessarily see Zola's position.
And even if Ribery deliberately did not pass, there is no need to blame him once or twice. As an offensive player, or even the core of the team, he has such rights.
Empoli took the goal kick, but in the face of Cagliari's pressing, Empoli can only pass the ball continuously, and even the pass is not safe.
In the first 7 minutes, although Empoli scored in Cagliari's half, in fact, he has not shot a single shot so far.
But this time, Empoli completed a shot, a breakthrough from Foggia, Criscito was still too young and was deceived by a fake move, and then Foggia made a cross, Di Natale grabbed the spot in front of the goal and headed Rami back.
In this game, Cagliari's central defenders were Lamy and Chiellini. After all, Hierro was old. Although the injury was not serious, Li Yi still hoped that he could recover for a few more days.
For a corner kick, Di Natale's header was blocked by Cech, and Empoli ushered in a corner kick, but this time Empoli didn't complete the goal, and it was Rami who hit the ball.
"CounterattackCagliari's quick counterattackNoFoulEmpoli fouled, Guerrera, the Australians are very decisive" Guerrera is Australia's golden generation country, playing a midfielder, fierce defense, wide coverage, and Bresciano is an Australian midfield combination.
"Red card" Cagliari fans in the stands began to put pressure on the referee.
But this is the Castellani Stadium, which is Empoli's home court, and Cagliari's people can't really put any pressure on the referee.
There is no need to think about the red card, the yellow card is still possible, and the penalty is reasonable. In the 10th minute of the game, Empoli's main midfielder got the first yellow card of the game.
And this is definitely not a good thing for Empoli. At present, Empoli's defense relies heavily on Guerrera. Now Guerrera's yellow card will definitely affect his next defense.
Guardiola took a set kick, Tony fought for the top and knocked back in the penalty area, Zola stopped the ball in the chest outside the penalty area and blasted a long shot, but unfortunately failed to pass Luka Bucci's ten fingers.
It is said that this old goalkeeper has a deep relationship with Parma. He is a youth training player of Parma. He played for Parma for many years and did not leave Parma until Buffon's rise.
Corner kick, this time it is Cagliari's turn to take a corner kick. Although Cagliari players have a good altitude, Empoli is not bad, so Cagliari chooses a tactical corner kick.
Guardiola found Poboski with a kick, and the latter passed it diagonally to Maicon. The Brazilian right-back made a long-range shot.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL Goal scored Goal scored again Cagliari's second goal of the game."
"The fake shot was a real pass. The Brazilian sent a very deceptive pass, and Zola did not disappoint his teammate's pass. After receiving the pass, he quickly turned around and shot to complete the goal."
"Zola, Cagliari veteran's fifth goal of the season" As a veteran who is about to turn 38, Zola's state can be regarded as very good.
On the sidelines, Li Yi didn't celebrate as usual, but the players just applauded symbolically when celebrating a goal.
"Arrogant Chinese" saw Li Yi like this, and he didn't know how many people scolded him again.
