Chapter 595: Vs Napoli III

*Fweeeeeeeeeeee*

The second half began with Ronaldo passing the ball back to Rabiot in the Uventus half of the field, and Rabiot quickly laid off the ball further back to De Ligt while the Napoli players rushed into the Uventus half of the field on the press.

The Uventus players reacted appropriately and kept the ball moving, not giving the Napoli team any chances to retrieve the ball.

From the defenders back to the midfield, then Rabiot sent the ball to Bernadeschi on the right flank and Bernadeschi charged forward with the ball before releasing the ball to Chiesa inside the Napoli 18-yard box.

Receiving the ball, Chiesa turned at the goal and tried to shoot, but there wasn’t a clear shot on goal, and he ended up faking a shot before turning on his right and sending a cross across the face of the goal.

Jason came running in at the ball and hit it at goal first time, but Koulibaly stretched out his leg at the right moment and deflected the shot.

{Jason hits it!}

{Deflected wide by the Napoli defender! He has been on top of his game today!}

{Uventus have a corner} The commentator gave a live description of the game while Jason jumped and turned, putting his hands on his head in frustration.

#64th minute…

The game had raged on with the Uventus doing everything they could to get an equalizer, but the Napoli team had held on to their one-goal lead tightly, with no intention of letting it go without a hard fight.

In his frustration at the ineffectiveness of some of his attackers, the Uventus manager had begun making substitutions.

Bernadeschi had come off for Mckennie, but the newly subbed on player had swapped wings with Jason.

Thus, Jason had taken point on the right while Mckennie was on the left.

Up front, Chiesa had come off for Dybala, but the arrangements had stayed the same, though Dybala had dropped a little deeper and was more or less behind Ronaldo now, playing as a false-nine.

{It’s Uventus once again on the attack!}

{They’ve been knocking on the gates a while, will this be the tie!} the commentator called out as Jason began cutting in from the right, a bit freer now that he was on a different side of the field from his nemesis, Koulibaly.

Doing a few faints to gauge his marker’s reaction speed, Jason slowly moved towards the defender who was squaring off against him.

Noting that the defender was trying to stay upright because he didn’t know how Jason would move, Jason did a couple of step-overs before cutting towards the right and crossing the ball into the center of the penalty box as soon as he created the space.

{The ball comes flying in!?}

{Ronaldo in the center! He heads it!} the commentator screamed as Ronaldo pushed off Koulibaly, took off from the ground and put his head to the ball, directing the ball at the Napoli goal, but Ospina reacted quickly, diving at the ball and just barely managing to reach it and slap it back before it crossed the line.

{A fantastic save by the goalkeeper, but Dybala is there!}

{He sends it in! Goal for Uventus!}

{They have their equalizer, and they have this man to thank for it!} the commentator squealed as Dybala took off to the sidelines doing his trademark celebration of making a check sign with his index and thumb and using it to cover half his face.

{A lot of times, a substitution can do a lot for a losing team and this man has made it clear why the manager has kept him waiting till now!}

{He’s barely been on the field a few minutes, but he’s been waiting and watching and as soon as the chance, he took it}

{The referee is checking the goal for a possible offside, but I doubt there’s any problem with the goal} Miguel spoke into the microphone, his voice a little calmer than the commentator.

The fans who had screamed loudly when the ball went in had quieted down a bit, waiting hopefully while the referee waited for confirmation from the VAR that the goal would count.

A few seconds later, the referee whistled loudly and made known his decision.

The goal would count.

The Uventus screamed loudly in celebration while the players resumed their celebrations, but didn’t celebrate too much as the game was still not firmly in their hands and they were not happy with just equalizing.

The celebrations could continue if and when they won the game.

With a determined mind to build off the momentum and get back at their opponents, the Uventus players began heading back to their half of the field.

#77th minute…

{Napoli with the ball. They’re pushing forward, looking to redeem themselves after the earlier equalizer from Uventus}

{Zielinski to Mertens, back to Zielinski}

{Mertens makes a run into the penalty box, but Zielinski holds on to the ball. He seems to be looking for a better pass, but there’s no time and he’s out of options and he passes the ball back}

{Ball back to Mario Rui. Jason moves on the press, trying to get the ball back, but Rui sends the ball further back}

{Jason gives chase, but the ball evades him and is back with Zielinski. Mertens makes a run again and this time Zielinski finds him!?} The anticipating cheers of the Napoli fans slowly rose as Mertens cut into the Uventus 18-yard box with the ball after receiving it from Zielinski.

{It’s Mertens against Cuadrado! Cuadrado lunges forward but Mertens escapes him, is he looking for the right pass?}

{No, he goes it alone and, Mertens!!!}

{Oh, wonderful save from Sczesny! If he hadn’t got a hand to it, it was a goal!}

{Napoli’s got a corner after that attempt. Can they make something of it? We’ll see} the commentator said into the microphone after giving a play-by-play of the game.

{Well, they’ve got a lot of presence in the air. Quite a few tall players are on their side, but I think the Uventus team is evenly matched, if not a little superior to them in the air!}

{With that said, it will take something special from them to be able to put away this corner} Miguel analyzed, his tone calm as he said his observations out loud.

Zielinski had gone over to the take the corner while the players of the two teams arranged themselves in the penalty box, waiting for the ball to come flying in.

*Fweeeeeeeee*

{Zielinski whips it in!}
