With a two-goal lead in the second half, Juventus walked onto the court with their heads held high.
At Naples, coach Mazzarri also continuously deployed his troops. The 5-4-1 formation at the beginning also changed to 4-3-3. The veteran Lucarelli came on the bench and fought with Lavezzi. On the forward line, he partners with Cavani.
In the midfield position, Gargano, who made defensive mistakes in the first half, is in a pre-positioned position. After all, he is better at attacking, so Mazzarri asked him to get closer to the penalty area and strive for scoring opportunities.
In the middle, Hamsik is still dispatching, and all Naples players have the same goal - to score as soon as possible!
But unexpectedly, less than two minutes into the second half, an accident occurred in front of the Juventus goal.
While defending Cavani's header, goalkeeper Buffon and central defender Barzagli collided and suffered brief discomfort and were taken off the field for treatment.
Buffon was directly determined by the team doctor that his ankle was slightly sprained when he landed and was unable to continue playing.
This unexpected situation caught Juventus off guard!
Speed frowned and Cannavaro stamped his foot fiercely.
Yun Sheng had no time to be depressed, so he quickly asked substitute goalkeeper Manninger to come on as a substitute and get into the rhythm of the game as soon as possible.
In order to protect Barzagli whose injury was unclear, Yunsheng also played it safe and let Bonucci come on as a substitute.
Less than five minutes into the second half, Juventus used two substitutions and had no choice but to make passive substitutions.
But what they didn't expect was that misfortunes never come singly, and the team lost the ball again at this time.
"After two substitutes came on, Napoli's corner kick continued."
"This corner kick was taken by Lavezzi. He is not tall and has no advantage in the penalty area."
"The ball was passed to the center of the penalty area! Cavani headed the goal! The ball went in!!!"
"Just five minutes into the second half, Naples got a goal back!"
"The scoring process was so unexpected. Cavani overpowered Bonucci, got into a good position, and headed the ball into the net!"
"It was Manninger and Bonucci who caused this goal. Both of them are responsible for this goal!"
"2-1! Naples got a goal back and they are one step closer to equalizing the score!"
Vieri shouted excitedly and praised the goal.
Di Livio frowned on the side and shook his head repeatedly: "Although Manninger and Bonucci are responsible for this goal, they are not to blame. The two of them just came on as substitutes, it was too hasty, and they didn't even have time to warm up. None. It’s impossible to get into game shape in such a short period of time.”
"But this is football!" Vieri shouted. "It is not Napoli's responsibility that the Juventus players were injured in the collision. Their goals were completely in line with the rules and there was no problem."
Di Livio stopped talking. He knew in his heart that Vieri was right, but Juventus must be too unlucky.
Yun Sheng was still observing the two injured players on the sidelines. Unexpectedly, there were changes on the field. Looking at the Naples players celebrating their goals, Yun Sheng shook his head and felt helpless.
Despite this, he still came to the sidelines and shouted the names of the players loudly, telling them not to worry, it was just a lost goal and not to take it to heart.
The game restarted, and under the leadership of captain Del Piero, the players quickly stabilized.
Manninger is also a 33-year-old veteran, so this storm is nothing. Bonucci, with the encouragement of his teammates, has stepped out of the shadow of his recent mistake and is in better and better shape.
Time passed by minute by minute, and now the game has reached the 75th minute.
Naples used up their last substitution and replaced Campagnaro, a full-back who is very good at assists. This 30-year-old Argentinian is very good at dribbling the ball and is a good assist-oriented full-back.
Mazzarri definitely didn't want to lose this game.
On Yunsheng's side, he replaced Raul, whose physical strength was declining, and in order to strengthen the defense, Sissoko came on.
Diego's positional conditions replaced Raul's shadow forward position, and the small waist and Ballack formed the midfield gate.
The game went by minute by minute, and the time was getting closer and closer to 90 minutes.
Now it's the 85th minute. Diego's personal breakthrough was destroyed by the opponent's continuous double-teaming. New aid Campagnaro ran all the way with the ball, accelerating to the edge of the penalty area like lightning!
"This is a good opportunity for Napoli, can they equalize at the end of the game?"
"Udinese did this in the last game! They used their tenacious willpower to finally take away a point at Juventus' home court!"
"Can't Napoli now leave a point at home?"
In the live broadcast room, Vieri loudly encouraged Napoli, while Di Livio was a little nervous.
Juventus is in danger now...
At this time, it has entered the final stage of the game, and all Naples players are pressing forward, hoping to score another goal.
However, under the leadership of captain Del Piero, Juventus' entire defense was solid and did not give Naples any loopholes.
Even Del Piero retreated to defend, leaving only Diego and Trezeguet to counterattack, threatening the opponent's defense and making the Naples people afraid.
Napoli's continuous passes in the frontcourt, although exquisite, still could not penetrate Juventus' defense.
Goalkeeper Manninger was highly focused and never slacked off.
The defense was also under the command of Metzelder and was impregnable. The Napolians had no chance to pass the ball, let alone shoot.
At this time the ball fell at the feet of Hamsik, the team's vice-captain.
He looked at Juventus' goal and felt a little anxious.
We lost unexpectedly in the last game, and we must not lose again in this game!
Once they lose two games in a row, the team's morale and confidence will be severely hit!
This game must not be lost!
Thinking of this, Hamsik looked at the dense crowd in the penalty area. He would definitely try a powerful long shot!
Open the angle and shoot the goal!
It's a low ball! The ball penetrated the penalty area without touching anyone!
Manninger struggled to block the ball with his legs!
Someone suddenly stepped forward! It's Cavani! Poke! The ball went in! ! !
At the last moment of the game, Naples finally equalized the score!
2 to 2! In this game, Juventus once again encountered a goal before the end!
Their luck was so bad today!
Listening to the tsunami-like cheers and shouts of the Naples fans, looking at the annoyed atmosphere of Cannavaro and Speed beside him, and looking at the disbelieving and disappointed expressions of the Juventus players on the court, Yun Sheng said something He said nothing and shook his head repeatedly.
They were so unlucky in this game.
And excluding the factor of luck, today's opponent Naples also performed very well. With the fighting spirit of not giving up at the last moment, they are definitely qualified to compete for the championship!
