Pastore broke out of the defense and made a brilliant pass right behind him!

  "i is on the move, catg the ball..."

  "He crosses it directly... to the left of the goal..."

  "Oh my God, Hamsik!"

  "The ball is in!!!!"

  "GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

  "Marek Hamsik!"

  "Napoli finally scores against Cagliari!"

  "The Slovakian Hamsik s Napoli's first goal siheir return to Serie A!"

  "A fantastic assist fruay's i!"

  "Napoli's attack was beautifully executed, especially the young pyer Pastore, who dribbled past three defenders and mao break through."

  "As we see from the repy, he even nutmegged one of the defenders, what an amazing young talent!"

  "This is the same pyer Gao Shen signed frentina's sed division for just half a million euros this summer, but after today's performance, I'm sure his value will skyrocket."

  ...

  When Hamsik scored, the entire San Paolo Stadium erupted in a wave of passion.

  The faement was like a volic eruption, engulfing every er of the stadium.

  More than 50,000 Napoli fans iands roared with excitement, making the whole stadium vibrate with the energy of the moment.

  tless fans shouted Hamsik's name!

  The Slovakian quickly rushed to the sidelines, waving his hands at the fans, but i soon caught up, hugging him tightly. The Uruguayan striker was so thrilled he even kissed Hamsik on the forehead.

  One by ohe Napoli pyers followed, celebrating the stunning goal with their teammates.

  In addition to Hamsik and i's tributions, the young Pastore was also aowledged by everyone.

  Although he had a few turnovers, this successful py was more than enough to make up for it.

  ...

  Gao Shen, Napoli's coach, was so excited that he ched his fists and nearly jumped out of his seat.

  "Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful!" he shouted in delight.

  Turning around, he opened his arms and gave a big hug to Lucas, one of his assistants.

  He went on to embrace each member of his coag team, celebrating this crucial goal.

  It had been a hard-fought battle!

  Gao Shen yelled with all his might, releasing all the pent-up tension, and finally took a deep breath.

  Looking over at the opposing coach, Giampaolo, it was clear he was disappointed, shouting at his pyers in frustration. Why couldn't three defenders handle oacker?

  But deep down, Gao Shen kneaolo wasn't going to get an answer.

  Some pyers are just special.

  When Gao Shen turned back, he saw his pyers had finished celebrating and were jogging back. As they passed the home team's bench, they exged high-fives and hugs with him.

  "Well done, Marek!" Gao Shen said, giving Hamsik a hearty pat on the back.

  "You told me to push forward decisively, coach," Hamsik replied, grinning from ear to ear.

  This was Napoli's first goal in Serie A after more than six years away, a goal that would be remembered by tless fans.

  "No, no, it's all about your timing. You made the perfect run," Gao Shen praised him generously.

  "And you, Edinson my God! How did you even spot Hamsik there? I'm beginning to think you have eyes in the back of your head. Amazing!"

  Gao Shen's words brought a huge grin to i's face, and his teammates pyfully started feeling around the back of his head, jokingly looking for those "extra eyes."

  "And Javier, whe back, I'm going to give you a special certificate to orate your oday!"

  Pastore beamed with pride.

  Ba Argentina, nutmegging oppos had been sed nature to him. It was something he did often, even habitually, during games.

  But since joining Napoli, he'd reined in his usual fir, so his performances hadn't been as fshy.

  Gao Shen's praise was essentially giving him the green light to py freely agaiher it was nutmegs or anything else, as long as he could create threats och, he was doing his job.

  "But everyone!"

  After all the praise, Gao Shen's tone suddenly shifted.

  "People say I'm like Capello. And even though I'm coag in Serie A now, I still want you all to help me shake off that parison and show everyohat I'm nothing like him!"

  "So, please, everyone, work hard, even harder, a us one moal!"

  With that, Gao Shen smiled, stretched out his hands, a his pyers bato the field.

  The pyers left with a light-hearted mood, eager to follow Gao Shen's call.

  ...

  After holding Napoli off for nearly 80 minutes, Cagliari was shaken by the goal, and it hit their pyers hard.

  They began to lose their shape.

  On the sideline, Giampaolo hesitated, unsure whether to go all out and try to equalize or tinue defending.

  This indecision could be fatal.

  When py resumed, Napained possessiht after the kick-off and pressed forward relentlessly.

  Having just taken the lead, Napoli was in high spirits. Meanwhile, Cagliari was visibly shaken, their fidence clearly wavering. The ck of urategy only worsehings, creating chaos och.

  Their 4-3-2 formation was already vulnerable to gaps, and the ck of cohesion made matters worse.

  Just four minutes after the first goal, in the 81st minute, Fini and Foggia tried to terattad crossed the halfway line, but Bonuctercepted the ball in time and quickly passed it to Pastore.

  The Argentine's first touch was slightly off, but he recovered quickly, getting to the ball just ahead of the defender. With a quick burst of speed, he pushed it forward a driving past the midfield.

  The crowd erupted in appuse as he pulled off two secutive brilliant moves.

  At the same time, Biondini, the defensive midfielder, broke away from Hamsik and rushed toastore.

  On the sidelines, Gao Shen grew nervous, mentally urging Pastore to pass the ball quickly.

  The earlier mistake had e from a deyed pass to Di Maria, but this time, Pastore pyed it smart and released the ball before Biondini could close in.

  Hamsik didn't linger on the ball either; with his first touch, he redirected it to the left side of the penalty area.

  Di Maria, with his blistering pace, surged past his marker a a low cross toward the near post.

  Right in the middle, i arrived at full speed and smashed the ball with his right foot, bsting it straight into Cagliari's goal.

  "GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

  "2-0!!!"

  "Napoli scores twi five minutes!"

  "i verts Di Maria's cross to secure anoal for Napoli!"

  "My word, Napoli's attack has e alive!"

  "Ever since Pastore came on, he's brought energy back to Napoli's midfield. The team is attag mgressively, and Cagliari just 't ha!"

  The stadium erupted into cheers once again.

  On the sidelines, Gao She into the air, raising his arms in triumph.

  Two to zero!

  The win ractically sealed!

  ...

  After g two quick goals, Giampaolo immediately reized the issues in his team and made two quick substitutions, hoping to reinforce the defense, especially around the penalty area.

  He also assigned a pyer specifically to mark Pastore.

  With these adjustments, Cagliari maain some posure and held off Napoli's attacks for the time being.

  But by then, the damage had been done, and the scoreline remained 2-0.

  Giampaolo had no choice but to accept reality.

  If he pushed his team forward and pyed aggressively against Napoli, they didn't have the quality to pete, and Cagliari wasn't an offensive powerhouse to begin with.

  When he realized Cagliari had opted to defend and essentially cede defeat, Gao Shehed a sigh of relief.

  In the final minutes of the matapoli slowed down the pad trolled possession to wind down the clock. Gao Shen also used his remaining two substitutions to maime effectively.

  In the end, Napoli secured a 2-0 victory at home, with goals from Hamsik and i.

  "Javier Pastore, the previously unknown 18-year-old Argentine, is destio make a name for himself after today."

  "Last match, Parejo stood out; today it astore's turn. It's impossible not to admire Gao Shen's eye for young talent and his ability to use them effectively."

  "This Napoli side, the youeam in Serie A and possibly in all of Europe's top leagues, has started their Serie A campaign with a precious victory. It's an excellent beginning."

  "Gao Shen has publicly said he aims to take this team to the Serie A title, but from this game alo's clear Napoli still has a long way to go, especially with powerhouses like Inter Min, A, Juventus, and Roma standing in their way."

  "heless, we must admit that both Gao Shen and his Napoli side have left a strong impression."
