Genoa's top scorer Flores scores with a shot on goal.
Chievo were 0-1 down in the 15th minute!
The Genoa fans in the stadium were completely abuzz.
Noisy cheering and cheering.
It made the Chievo players even more upset.
Liu Suyin in the stands looked at the score on the big screen and sighed.
It was the home team that took the lead in the opening half.
Plus it's the famous Devil's Home Stadium in Serie A.
Ryuusuu glanced in the direction of the Chievo bench.
She wants Xu Feng to play, and even more so, she wants Chievo to get out of Genoa in one piece.
It would be nice to at least get a point.
But her hopes, as the situation on the field changed.
It's getting slimmer and slimmer.
First half extra time.
Genoa striker Flores gets another one-two.
A cool push and a shot that once again broke through the door of the Sorrendino handles.
Genoa leads 2-0!
The fans all over the arena chanted Flores' name.
Flores scored 11 goals in Serie A last season.
Tied with Chievo captain Pellissier for 10th in the scorers' table.
He scored twice today and is obviously in very hot form.
End of the half.
With a score of 0-2, Chievo's players returned to the locker room with a depressed look on their faces.
"Are you guys sleepwalking? Where's the momentum from the last game when you were crushing Catania?"
"Or were you all scared out of your wits, one by one, by the noise of those noisy fans?"
"Xu, get ready to warm up, you're replacing Sario in the second half!"
said head coach DeCray.
"Coach, it's a little early for a substitution, isn't it, Shario and I work well together, we'll get it back in the second half!"
Pelissier said.
Apparently there was something in his words.
It means that he and Shario work well together.
There's no tacit understanding in partnering with Xu Feng.
"Pelissier, as captain, are you leading the way in defying the coach's decision?"
DeCray's face didn't look too good.
Pelissier coughed and had to say, "No coach, I'm fine with that."
Pelissier glanced at Xu Feng, his face showing displeasure.
End of intermission.
The linesman raises the substitution sign.
Xu Feng replaces Saario.
Seeing Xu Feng on the field.
Liu Suyin couldn't help but stand up and shout excitedly, "Xu Feng, go for it!"
Although her voice Xu Feng couldn't even hear her.
But Liu Suyin still desperately shouted cheer for Xu Feng.
Yet awkwardly.
She was surrounded by Genoa fans.
Genoa's fans, watching Liusuu hand in hand, cheering on Chievo's players.
These fans were amused and didn't really care.
Because they're in a good mood.
After all, Genoa is now in the lead.
Based on the momentum of the first half, Genoa will surely keep the victory until the end of the game.
Get it right and score another goal!
It was no more than a counter substitution on Chievo's side.
Striker for striker, nothing special to tweak.
And the young striker who came in for the change didn't look familiar.
At this time, the Dragon Kingdom, which was ten thousand miles away.
There are even countless fans following the situation on the field.
Since the accidental discovery of Xu Feng in the last game, the Dragon's only seed in Serie A.
Adjustments were quickly made on the national television side.
Except for broadcasting those hoops games.
The Chevrolet games have all had their broadcast signals retuned.
Not for any other reason, precisely because there was Xu Feng!
Otherwise, a small ball club like Chievo.
How would the TV side look at that?
Adjust the broadcast signal to them?
"Ladies and gentlemen, Chievo's manager has made a substitution at the start of the second half."
"Striker Shalio was replaced and came on. Oh! Dragon Nation's young player Xu Feng! Xu Feng is finally on the field!"
"This is also Xu Feng's debut in Serie A! I wish him luck!"
"Now Chievo are 0-2 down."
"And on Genoa's devilish home turf."
"What Chievo need to do now is to adjust themselves as quickly as possible and redeem themselves."
"If we can force a draw at Genoa."
"It's been a very successful road game for them."
"Although as it stands now, it needs two goals in a row and trying to do that is hard!"
The second half of the game begins!
Chievo's side were the first to kick off.
As requested by head coach DeCray.
The team played a passing game and took it upon themselves to slow down the offense.
The first half was just too fast paced.
Especially being brought up too fast by Genoa.
The result is Genoa playing comfortably and Chievo's side playing hard.
Genoa's players see that Chievo intends to slow down the tempo.
There was a lot of pressing and pressing with the intention of gaining possession.
DeCray was yelling from the sidelines, directing players to make puck transfers and dispatches.
After ten minutes, Genoa's tightening slowly faded.
Chievo survived the tough time by passing the ball.
And during this period, Xu Feng's performance was outstanding.
Whenever a Chievo midfielder is pressed on the opposite side of the field, the line of play is blocked.
Xu Feng is always very aggressive in running back to pick up the slack.
Add new outlets for midfielders.
It also puts a lot less pressure on the team.
Coach Decray on the sidelines nodded his head back and forth.
Xu Feng knew that he was on the bench, and his biggest advantage over the starters was his physical ability.
So this aggressive running is also taking the pressure off the whole team.
Pelissier watched Xu Feng run aggressively and frequently distribute the ball to receive.
Compared to Shario who did perform better.
Just now, if Xu Feng hadn't run over in time to receive him.
The ball at your own feet is definitely going to be snapped by your opponent.
Thinking about his attitude towards Xu Feng, who had been somewhat targeted for some time.
Especially what he said just now at halftime.
Pelissier looked at the captain's armband on his arm with some remorse.
This rookie's attitude towards the game is still the same.
Being the captain himself, he's always getting into something that's not there.
It's really so unqualified!
Genoa's pressing subsided and it was a good opportunity for Chievo to launch a counterattack.
Xu Feng split the ball towards the side, then quickly plunged straight into the penalty area.
Frey, the wingback who stepped forward, knew it by heart.
After holding the ball and tripping over the opponent's defender, a pass was made, looking for Xu Feng's head.
Unfortunately the pass was a little low.
Xu Feng is unable to direct his header towards goal.
Just a chest stop in front of the penalty area.
The Genoa defender quickly closed in on Xu Feng.
Intending to just wait for the puck to hit the ground, he would try to poke it out of the back of the net.
However he was wrong in his intentions.
Xu Feng didn't even need to wait for the ball to land to make adjustments after his chest stop.
Instead, he turned his back to the goal and shot straight sideways in the air.
He actually hit the door?
The Genoa defender just got close to Xu Feng.
It was too late to even make a defensive move.
Just saw the puck fly away from his eyes.
This ball is powerful and the ball is extremely fast.
The Genoa goalkeeper did not react at all.
The ball went in!
Xu Feng with a brilliant overhead kick.
Completed his Serie A debut!
Chievo 1-2 Genoa!
