Chapter 261 A Different New Coach (First Update with Guarantee)
"Cheers and worship? Unless we die!"

This is the slogan that appeared outside the training base of Castel Volturno in Naples the next day, and it can be regarded as the response of Naples fans to what Chen Yingxiong said before.

But now the media is no longer interested in hyping the war between Chen Yingxiong and the fans.Because there are more worthy of their attention and tracking right now-Rea, who has coached Naples for more than four years, has left get out of class, so who will take his place?

The media gave many candidates: former Inter Milan coach Roberto Mancini, Walter Mazzari who led Sampdoria to the top six in the league last season, and current Udinese coach Marino, Cardinal Tania coach Zenga and Derio Rossi, who is about to dismiss get out of class in Lazio, of course, can't forget Del Neri, who had a secret meeting with the leadership of the Naples club at Vicenza Airport last season...

All kinds of names have appeared in the media, attracting people's imagination.

This time, De Laurentiis showed his resolute side.

The team cannot be without a coach for a day. Since the former coach has been dismissed, a new coach must be found as soon as possible, otherwise the team's performance will plummet.

On December 15th, the No.[-] round of the league, Naples will welcome Siena at home.At the very least, the head coach must be decided before this game.

As a result, two days after Rea was fired, Naples officially announced that they had reached an agreement with the Sampdoria club. After paying the liquidated damages, they got the head coach Walter Mazzarri (Walter_Mazzarri) from the Sampdoria club. .

Without giving the media too much time for obscenity, Mazari parachuted into Naples.

The arrival of Mazzarri calmed down a bit the fans who had been protesting Rea's sacking.Because Mazari is also considered a capable head coach, it is not too bad for him to replace Rea, and Naples fans think it is acceptable.

They wouldn't agree to just find some cats and dogs.

When Mazari was the head coach of Reggina in the 06-07 season, it happened that Reggina was fined 2 points because of the phone gate incident. As a small team with weak strength, the league was fined before it started. Eleven points, the relegation situation suddenly worsened.But it was under such circumstances that Mazari led the team to successfully avoid relegation.In the last round, they even defeated the mighty AC Milan 0:[-] at home and successfully avoided relegation.

After the end of this season, he signed a coaching contract with Sampdoria. In the 07-08 season, Sampdoria drove low and high under his leadership.In the 29th round of the league, they even reached the top four at one point, and they are very hopeful of qualifying for the Champions League.But in the end, in the last few rounds of the league, the strong teams played well, and Sampdoria could only drink their hatred to participate in the UEFA Cup.But this is still the best result of Mazari's coaching career, especially in the second half of the league. He has achieved a good record against strong teams.

When Rhea led the team to face the northern tycoons this season, except for beating Juventus 2:1 at home, they lost all the rest.In the eighth round of the league, they lost 0:1 to Lazio; in the tenth round of the league, they lost 0:1 away to AC Milan; in the No.14 round of the league, they lost 1:2 away to Inter Milan.

Just judging from his performance against strong teams, Mazari is indeed better than Rea...

According to the media, Mazari signed a two-year contract with Naples, with an annual salary of 150 million euros, which is not low in the Italian coaching circle.It can be seen that for the revival of Naples, De Laurentiis really doesn't mind spending a lot of money.

※ ※ ※

Walter Mazari is sitting in the office at the training base in Castel Volturno, which was once used by Rhea, and now some traces of Rhea’s era can still be seen. The staff of the club are busy moving things, Move away the things of Rhea's era, and move in what he needs.

Mazzarri was sitting in the office, not paying attention to the busy staff. He was looking at the information of the Naples first-team players.

At this time, the club's press officer Baldari walked in.

"Walter, there are some reporters outside, they want to interview you." Baldari said to Mazari.

Mazari raised his head from his desk work, took off his glasses and rubbed the bridge of his nose: "But I don't have time now." He pointed to the large pile of things on the table. "Maybe, I might have to take it home to see."

Baldari glanced at the pile of documents and materials, and smacked his lips. "Well, you are busy, I will help you refuse..."

"Make another appointment with them," Mazari said.It's not good to directly refuse, and a good relationship with the media is the key to gaining a firm foothold in this team.Both he and this team, which is said to be full of conflicts, must be supported by the media and have their own voices.During this period of time, the media was too chaotic, and all kinds of voices came out unscrupulously.He even felt that the conflicts between Rea and the players, as well as the internal conflicts among the players, were all the result of malicious hype by the media. It was not a big deal at first, but after the media played it up, it became a big deal. up.

At the beginning of taking office, there are two things that must be done well. One is to understand all kinds of information about the players and manage the locker room well.The other thing is to build a good relationship with the media and gain their support.

Baldari nodded: "Okay, just do as you said, Walter."

When Baldari left, Mazzarri continued to dig into the players' profiles.

In fact, he is familiar with most of the Naples players. After all, they played against each other last season, and he also studied them.

So what he focused on was the profiles of a few people, especially not long after he joined the team this season, he had conflicts with the fans and the media, and then there were rumors of conflicts with the Argentine players within the club Player Chen Yingxiong's profile.

He watched very carefully.It not only includes the basic information of the player, but also includes the conflicts between the player and the fans, the grievances with the media, and the discord with Ravizi and others. What is the reason? These things have been reported in the media , it is easy to find if you want to find it, it depends on whether you have the heart.

And... He found that this was not enough, he needed to know more.So he asked the busy staff member Luigi Febbrari (Luigi_Febbrari), who is also a member of the team's coaching staff: "Luigi, is there any video of Chen Yingxiong's game? I want all of them."

"All of them?" Fibrali was stunned for a moment and asked back.

"Yeah, all the tapes of games since he joined the team."

"Then I'll look for it for you." Fibrali ran out.

After a while, he came back with those videotapes. Chen Yingxiong played [-] times in the league, almost every match, played twice in the Toto Cup, played six times in the UEFA Cup since the qualifying round, and played in the Coppa Italia. Naples had a bye in the first four rounds, and there was no match until the top [-]. In the end, they lost to Salernitana and were eliminated. Chen Yingxiong did not play.

There are a total of 21 video tapes, and my arms are full.

"It's all here, Walter."

Mazari nodded in satisfaction, signaling to put it aside so that he can continue to work on his work.

These video tapes are not what he wants to watch now, but what he plans to take home and watch.He had to continue reading the written materials first.

The team's next league match with Siena is imminent, and that is his first home game in Naples. It would be nice if he could familiarize himself with all the players before that.So he intends to use the tactics and staffing of Rea's era, use the opportunity of a few games to observe again, and then make his own decisions and adjustments.

※ ※ ※

Chen Yingxiong met his new head coach during training.A middle-aged man wearing glasses and looking very refined.

Before training began, he gathered everyone in a circle and gave a self-introduction, or... an inaugural address.

"I am very happy to join this great team. From today, we will work together for at least two years - of course, maybe less, if we do not perform well, I may go out in the next round of the league."

His words amused some people, how could he say that about himself?
After the laughter stopped, he continued: "But I don't want to be so unlucky, so I will try my best to lead everyone to victory. In this way, I can keep my job, and you can also get the winning bonus."

There was another burst of laughter.The beleaguered Napoli players rarely had the chance to put a smile on their faces like this.During this period of time, the situation of the team was not good. They lost consecutive games, the head coach was fired again, and there were many conflicts within the team...

Chen Yingxiong also laughed.He suddenly felt that the elegant-looking head coach in front of him was different from Rhea. Rhea was very strict in training, and he was basically unsmiling. What he heard most was his hurried whistle and loud yelling. "You should be like this! How could you be like that! Pull out, pull out!" The man in his 60s was still like an energetic young man.

Although it was only the first time we met, I always felt that the relationship between him and everyone was already very harmonious.

Under such a new coach, what can I expect?

The fans outside the training ground protesting Rea's dismissal have disappeared, and the banners have been removed.After the new head coach was confirmed, these fans disappeared.

It seems that the Naples team can obtain temporary peace.

But Chen Yingxiong knew in his heart that this was all because the fans still had illusions and favors for the new coach.If the team's performance is not strong... then those chaotic scenes will repeat themselves again.

The Italian team really has more things to do than the Russian team...

Today's temporary hibernation is to allow everyone to watch it more comfortably at that time, I hope everyone understands.
