Wednesday, February 4 I went to see Juventus-Napoli, quarter-finals Italian Cup. Wednesday the weather was unusually lenient, in the snow and rain on Monday to Thursday.
Juventus comes from two defeats in the league and want to refer to the detriment of Naples, which certainly does not want to watch. Arbitration Ayroldi with y.
entrance of the stadium show is always exciting. The curve, filled, already sings the first chorus. As soon as the players take to the field of Naples, the curve starts to sing strangely "We are not Neapolitans." Gesture of concern because of the Juventus players are not actively seeking Napoli supporter on the wrong side of the field? In this case it was not enough to place a sign with written "CURVE OF NAPLES" ?
And then you'll understand, even they are Neapolitan Lavezzi is Argentine Hamsik is Slovak, Uruguayan Zalayeta. Even Cannavaro now speaks only English . But then I remembered that as the audience normally deal with the players on the field, dealing with the ultra opposition fans. The choir was a teasing fans for the Neapolitan ... only that but these were not yet even entered the stadium!
The game begins with the attack Juve and Napoli played for remittance. Juventus Iaquinta row on offense, which immediately highlights the number of fouls and offside . Juve pushes a lot but can not sting because of a slow and predictable handling. Despite some occasions, the first half ends goalless .
The second time it has more than Juve and Napoli comes into play with more grit. Zalayeta up front and Hamsik will combine all the colors, and Lavezzi seems to play all the roles. At 40 'goalkeeper Lavezzi Lavezzi passes to the defender, which triggers a long ball on the wing Lavezzi, who crossed for Lavezzi that ... conspicuously missing in the deviation leads to a breath! Okay, but I can not do everything he can! It 'also had to go and catch the ball when he pulled out!
So too has the same problem of Napoli Juve much game without a goal.
But the 94th and last (we thought) minute of the game, Del Piero and Nedved then passes Trezeguet scores. GOAL! But the referee cancel incredibly: Nedved Trezeguet offside because he touched the ball. The curve angry protest: " Right now we were about to go home! . The referee whistles the end of regulation time, and it goes to extra time.
In the first half of extra time is now doubling Ayroldi : Del Piero receives the ball and kicks, but as he takes you closer Trezeguet, and the referee blows his whistle, and Del Piero pulled, Trezeguet and stops, and Navarro rejects, and the ball gets up, and Del Piero looks at the linesman, the linesman and see the lines, then the ball gets up again, drops, sweet, slow ... and bags in the door! GOOOOOOOAAAALLLLL! GOOOAAAL FINALLY! But no, still Ayroldi cancel. But this time do not really know why.
It 's a lot damn, you go to the rigors . The first two sets of penalties are transformed. At the third Nedved you parry the penalty, but wrong Lavezzi for Napoli in the fourth. In the last series is to beat Sissoko: runs a shiver down the spine of the fans, and everyone understands that for Juve over. In fact, the ball crashes into the crossbar with diligence. Goodbye and thanks? Not yet . For the Naples wrong Contini, and go to the bitter end. For Juventus Legrottaglie marks, but for the wrong Napoli Gargano . If you need advice, next time do not beat a Uruguayan with a name Foggia.
The game ends at 23:30, the players are so tired that even under the curve should not be celebrating. If I had seen the Paris-Dakar would be over before.
Now Juventus Lazio will meet in the semifinals, but there I'll be equipped with the best and good luck charms that I have. Why Juve arrivals final against Inter? No, because the game finish in time to be able to take the last tram to return home ...
End result:
FC Juventus - SSC Napoli 0-0
regular time
0-0 in overtime
3-3 on penalties 4-3
the sudden death
etc. etc. etc ...
