The game had already started, and Li Ang sat in the technical area. He did not know whether to laugh or cry.
It was supposed to be a tactical deployment and pre-war mobilization meeting, but Balotelli had almost turned it into a joke meeting.
But fortunately, the players' morale was good and was not affected. Moreover, Napoli was not really a strong opponent. Balotelli's behavior had the effect of livening up the atmosphere.
The game had already started for a while, and the commentator was still excitedly discussing Mario Balotelli. The seventeen-year-old young man was destined to be the focus of today's game and the focus of the season. Balotelli's performance was good, and the young man would become famous in one game. Li Ang would also be praised for his insight and courage. However, once Balotelli's performance was not good, the young black boy would be subjected to overwhelming criticism. Of course, Li Ang would also be subjected to huge criticism. The media had long wanted to find fault with him. It was rare to get a hold of Li Ang's weakness, so they were happy.
"Who is that kid?" This was also the first thought that came to Napoli's manager, Reya, after seeing Balotelli.
"He seems to be a player that Li Ang promoted from the youth team," the assistant manager said uncertainly.
This answer would not satisfy Reya. They knew nothing about this kid's technical characteristics or what was worth paying attention to.
However, Reya soon shifted his attention away from Balotelli. The young man rarely took the ball on the field. It seemed that the other Inter Milan players were not familiar with him. Or rather, they did not trust this young new teammate. When the ball came to the front field, they directly looked for Diego Milito.
Thinking about it, a seventeen-year-old youth team player's strength was already questionable. Moreover, he was newly transferred to the First Team. It was not surprising that his teammates did not trust him because they lacked chemistry with him.
It might have been Li Ang's whim to use this kid as a surprise attack. Now it seemed that he had outsmarted himself.
Reya was a little gloating. He conveyed his instructions to focus on defending Diego Milito. As for the black boy named Balotelli, he did not need to be particularly taken care of.
*****
In fact, Diego Milito had already become the key defensive target of the Napoli players without Reya's special instructions.
Cannavaro was defending against Milito. Facing the Argentine star player who came from Sporting de Gijón to Inter Milan in the summer to join Li Ang, Young Cannavaro did not pay too much attention to him. However, after the two sides played, he immediately felt the pressure....
The Argentine's body was not strong, but he was good at protecting the ball.
This time, it was Modric who passed the ball over. Diego Milito carried Cannavaro with his back to receive the ball.
Young Cannavaro squeezed with his body, but Diego Milito's lower body was very stable. Then, Cannavaro turned his body slightly and wanted to steal the ball. However, Diego Milito's body was slightly horizontal and he once again carried Cannavaro behind him.
Domić saw that Cannavaro was in trouble and he rushed up from the left side to intercept the ball.
Diego Milito was waiting for Domić to be moved over by him. When Domić rushed up and was ready to intercept the ball, Diego Milito immediately passed the football out.
Mata, who was on the edge of the penalty area, got the ball. He did not hesitate and directly knocked it horizontally. Then people saw Modric rush up and directly take a long shot at the football!
Gargano stretched out his leg to block, but he was unable to block the shot. The football hit his leg and there was a refraction. The Napoli goalkeeper, Yezzo, had already rushed to the right. However, the football changed direction and flew in the opposite direction.
Amid the exclamations in the stands, the football almost brushed past the column sliding goal.
Corner kick!
"Beautiful offensive coordination! Diego Milito played a key role in Inter Milan's offensive tactics! Not only is he good at shooting in the penalty area, but he is also good at making passes for his teammates! "Ferrari praised Diego Milito's role in this attack.
*****
In the stands, Balotelli and his family were stunned when they saw Mario Balotelli start. They never dreamed that Mario Balotelli would be in the starting lineup in this game. According to their guess, it was already a surprise that Balotelli could be a substitute in the second half of the game.
Francis Balotelli shouted excitedly at the fan next to him, "That's my son! Mario! He's in the starting lineup! "
The surrounding fans were also surprised. Their attitude towards Balotelli's family improved a lot. The family of a youth team player and the family of a First Team player were naturally not the same concept.
However, in the following game, Balotelli's performance was quite average. It could even be said that he was quite quiet. There were very few chances for him to take the ball.
This also caused the fans to murmur.
"I really don't see the use of that kid!"
"Yeah, I thought it was a surprise for Li Ang. Now it seems that it might be a failure."
"Shh, lower your voice!" Someone reminded his companion. The family of the player was next to him, so pay attention.
"That's because Mario didn't get a chance!" Balotelli's little brother said indignantly. "He's very good!"
"Yeah, yeah," the fan said perfunctorily.
At this time, on the field, Modric's long shot helped Inter Milan to get a corner kick.
*****
"Inter Milan got a corner kick. This is their chance. There are many players in the Inter Milan Team who are good at headers," Ferrari said.
"Maybe that Mario Balotelli is good at headers!" Rossi ridiculed. The game had been going on for nearly 20 minutes. Balotelli was almost invisible on the field. He really could not see how this player could pose a threat to Napoli on the field.
As they were talking, the corner kick was kicked out by David Silva.
David Silva looked for Diego Milito's point and flew directly to the middle of the goal!
Little Cannavaro followed Diego Milito closely. His task today was to mark the Argentine.
The Napoli goalkeeper, Yezo, jumped up to attack, intending to hit the football directly.
Diego Milito jumped high, intending to head the ball. Little Cannavaro also jumped up. At the same time, the Napoli goalkeeper, Yezo's fist came smashing over.
A strange scene happened. Diego Milito's head, Little Cannavaro's head, and Yezo's fist did not touch the football.
The football streaked across the front of the goal.
The football flew straight back!
*****
"Watch your backs!" The Neapolitan commentator exclaimed in alarm.
At the back, Samuels jumped high, intending to swing his head to attack the goal. However, the football he headed out hit the head of Gargano, who was defending him. The football bounced and jumped up in the penalty area.
This caused chaos in the Napoli penalty area.
Mata jumped up, but he could not head the football. Hamsik, who was next to him, could not head the football either.
In the chaos, Berliachino rubbed the football back, trying to head it out of the penalty area.
However, his header was flawed. The back of his head only slightly touched the football, and the football changed direction again.
The football flew to the left side of the penalty area.
The Napoli players on the field were also shocked. In the place where the football flew, there was an Inter Milan player. It was Mario Balotelli!
"Danger!" The Napoli commentator exclaimed. Then, when he saw clearly who the Inter Milan player was, he inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.
On the sidelines, Reya was so shocked that he almost jumped up. Then, when he saw that it was Balotelli there, he also inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief. Not only because the young man's performance was almost invisible since the start of the game, but also because he did not know how Balotelli moved. At this time, his back was facing the goal. Under such circumstances, the goal was basically safe.
Then, the Napoli manager's eyes widened and his mouth fell open.
Everyone saw that the kid, who had almost no sense of presence since the start of the game, made a move that made people want to slap the table in praise. He had his back to the goal, his eyes looked at the football in the air, and then … he leaned back and his whole body soared into the air!
At the same time, his right foot, which was in the air, whipped the football!
Reverse hook shot!
*****
The Napoli goalkeeper, Yezzo, had just gotten up from the ground when he saw the football flying over. He subconsciously reached out to block it, hoping to block the football with his head.
But Balotelli's reverse hook shot was accurate and ruthless. The football almost brushed past the lower edge of the crossbar!
Yezzo could not touch the football!
The football drilled into the net and rolled up the net.
When the football was caught in the net, Balotelli also landed on his back.
Balotelli, who was lying on the ground, turned over and got up. He looked into the net and saw that the football had fallen and was already lying in the net …
"Goooooaaaaal." The Sky TV commentator, Ferrari, went crazy. This was indeed a goal that made the commentator go crazy. He shouted and roared, "The ball is in! A goal! An incomparably wonderful reverse hook score! A reverse hook shot score! The goal is scored by Mario Balotelli! Mario Balotelli! Maybe you haven't heard of this name before. Then, remember it now. Mario Balotelli, a seventeen-year-old great lad! He scored an incomparably wonderful reverse hook goal in the game between Inter Milan and Napoli! Kid, you're famous. You're famous in one game! Have you practiced your signature?! Please remember this name, Mario Balotelli! "
At this time, on the field, the Inter Milan players were excited. They all ran toward Balotelli, wanting to hug him and celebrate the goal.
What about Balotelli?
He got up from the ground and rushed to Napoli's net. He scooped the football out and put it in front of him. Then he exerted strength in his waist and abdomen. He exerted strength continuously, shrugging and shrugging …
I'll hold!
I'll hold!
I'll hold, hold, hold!
