Chapter 350 Mazari's Multiple Choice Questions (Second Update)
It was a good thing for Naples to draw with Liverpool in the away game and get the first Champions League points. After the game, the local media in Naples also reported the game.Chen Yingxiong, who scored the equalizing goal for the team in the game, naturally became the focus of the front page again.

Photos of him flexing his back tattoos and muscular muscles at Anfield also made headlines in Italian and Chinese media.

"Chinese Heroes Showcase Anfield! "

"At this moment Maradona's soul possessed, Chen Yingxiong led the team to score a precious point! "

The reports of the Chinese media are naturally more and more sensual.

There is also praise from the Italian side.

"...Chen Yingxiong performed very well. He dedicated a wonderful second half at Anfield. The only regret is that he failed to seize more opportunities and expand the score..."

"The 21-year-old Chen Yingxiong has an enviable body. When he withstood Skrtel's impact in the penalty area and scored the football into Reina's goal, he was hardly a human being!"

"In the contest with his former teammate Skrtel, Chen Yingxiong had the last laugh..."

Being able to help the team score a point in the away game, Chen Yingxiong deserves these praises.

The Italian media is also accustomed to giving him these praises.

Nobody said he was nobody anymore.

But after all, Naples is a new team in the Champions League. They lack experience in two-line combat. They played a beautiful 45 minutes away and drew with Liverpool. Back in the league, they were tied by Udinese at home.

In this game, Chen Yingxiong did not start the game, but came on as a substitute for Sarajeta in the last 15 minutes, but failed to score.

The team looked tired, and he alone couldn't make a difference.

Two-line combat is not just as simple as boating and traveling.

"Obviously, Naples is not quite used to fighting on two fronts, especially playing games like the Champions League and the domestic league at the same time. They are still a little bit powerless."

"Mazari admitted after the game that the performance of the players was not good, which has something to do with the away game in the Champions League just in the middle of the week... This may be the difference between Naples and the giants. The giants have a very deep bench depth and a strong lineup. Can rotate easily, and have enough experience to deal with such a situation, so that their performance will not be too different..."

"Mazzarri has been rotating, and he also rotated half of the starting lineup in this game. But there is still a big gap between the substitute players and the main players...Moreover, for a team like Naples, is the rotation necessary? ?The difference between the strength of the main lineup and the substitute lineup is too large, and frequent rotations naturally mean that the team has never been able to have a mature and stable lineup and tactics. Eleven players performed well in one game, but they were dismantled in the next game , so how to run the team? Naples has a serious defense problem now, almost conceding goals every game, which is related to Mazzarri's arrangement. Rotation is necessary for those rich teams, but for Naples, which only has one lineup As far as the team is concerned, it is really tasteless..."

The media is like this, it is also a draw, the away draw with Liverpool, and the media blew Mazari and his players into the sky.

And at home to a draw with Udinese, the voice of criticism came.

Mazari felt that pressure, too.

He took over in the middle of last season, and Naples was waiting to be done, but no one took Naples seriously, so it was relatively easy for Naples to rise.

This season, Naples ranked fourth in the league last season, and the team also had the league's Golden Boot last season. They reached the Champions League group stage, and naturally became a thorn in the side of many people.I don’t know how many people study Naples, and I’m afraid it’s not easy to get good grades with only one momentum.

And...the media was right.A team like Naples really doesn't seem to be qualified to play rotation...

When he implemented the rotation at the beginning, he hoped that when the players took turns to rest, he could keep both fronts.

Now it seems that this is my own wishful thinking...

Naples has no experience and habit of rotation. In the past, Naples only needed to focus on domestic competitions. Last season, the UEFA Cup was also eliminated early, so they rashly implemented rotation. Instead, these players did not know what to do.

My main lineup just found the feeling of playing together, and they were separated in one rotation... It's really not good.If it goes on like this, the substitute lineup has not found the feeling, and the main lineup is also out of shape.

But if there is no rotation, how long can I last with just one lineup?What if there is a big crash for him in the second half of the season?

It seems that it's time for me to make a choice... Should I specialize in the Champions League?Or keep the league?

In the first game of the Champions League, he discovered the spiritual potential of Naples. As a result, the team played well and drew with Liverpool at Anfield. It seems that the team has a future in the Champions League.Mazari really wants to lead Naples to a breakthrough in the Champions League and leave a name in history.

But if it drags down the league, it's not good, after all, the league is the root...

On September 23, Naples will play Inter Milan away. This is the fifth round of the league.Immediately following September 25, Naples played Siena at home again, which was the sixth round of the league.Then on September 29, Naples returned to host Lyon in the second game of the Champions League group stage.

Playing three games in six days, an average of one game in two days, this kind of intensity gave Mazari a headache.

The team will definitely not be able to show excellent form in these three games, and their physical strength will also be affected.

At this time, a choice must be made, is it to give up the league and protect the Champions League?Or give up the Champions League to play in the league?

Mazari studied the league schedule and the team's current ranking. The league has only started four rounds. The team has two wins, one draw and one loss. It ranks No.6 with seven points, which is above the middle.

The team's current situation is not bad, after all, there is not much difference from the top four in the league.

There are 38 rounds in the league, but what about the Champions League group stage?Only six games.

Obviously, the error tolerance rate of the Champions League group stage is much smaller than that of the league. If you lose a game, you may lose a season of the Champions League.But even if you lose two games in a row in the league, it doesn't necessarily mean that your team will end the season empty-handed.

After such an analysis, this multiple-choice question is actually easy to do.

Temporarily abandoning the league, but not permanently abandoning the league.At least when there is a Champions League game, temporarily give up the domestic league.After the Champions League game is over, focus on the domestic league.

So, should the game against Inter Milan be included in the list of abandonment?

It stands to reason that there are still six days between this game and the Champions League group stage, and there is no need for a large rotation.

But after all, it is an away game to challenge Inter Milan. The two teams have been sparring since last season, and the hatred is constantly escalating.

This road trip is definitely not a relaxing and romantic "Milan holiday".

Mazari is worried that the team will suffer a loss in the away game-not for fear of losing, but for fear of injury to the main players.Because it is conceivable that the match against Inter Milan will definitely be intense.

With Mourinho's character, his team style must be tough.And Naples is not weak either. If two powers compete, one must be injured...

Mazari hesitated.

Chen Yingxiong didn't know that the head coach had experienced such a struggle before the match against Inter Milan. During this period, he also became a celebrity in the media, and many reporters came to interview him.

Because the match between Naples and Inter Milan is about to start.

The confrontation between Naples and Inter Milan last season attracted a lot of attention.

The war of words between the two sides before and after the game was as exciting as the game, and it was enjoyable to watch.

Naturally, this encounter will not be deserted.

What's more, after the end of last season's game, Chen Yingxiong also made a promise to Mourinho.

The defending champion of the "double play" league!
This sentence is so loud that it scares people to death.

At that time, many people thought it was just a moment of anger, especially after seeing how Mourinho's team performed in the new season, many people did not believe that Chen Yingxiong could fulfill this agreement at all.

From beating Bari 1:0 in the first round of the league to beating Cagliari 2:1 away in the fourth round of the league, Inter Milan has maintained a record of unbeaten victories in the domestic league, ranking first.In the UEFA Champions League group stage, they faced the powerful defending champion Barcelona at home. They got a draw, 0:0, and did not allow the invincible Barcelona to score a goal. This result is also remarkable.

Such a strong team, double play?It's still at his home court, you Chen Yingxiong, are you kidding?
If you insist on doing this, you will lose your mind and go crazy...

"No, I'm not joking. I'm still seriously considering this matter." Chen Yingxiong said in an interview with reporters.

Someone sighed - well, he really lost his mind...

"I know that Inter Milan is very strong, and their current state this season is also good, but why can't we win?" Chen Yingxiong asked the reporter back, and a group of reporters who asked the question were speechless.

Yeah, why do we have to swear so strongly that people can't win?

"Inter Milan is strong..." A reporter tried to refute.

"Last season we also won against a strong Inter Milan."

"This time they are at home... By the way, they are at home!" Someone among the reporters suddenly found confidence. "Since coaching Porto, he hasn't lost at home in the league! For Mourinho's team, home is a must!"

Chen Yingxiong was a little surprised-this Mourinho is so awesome, he has never lost at home?
Seeing Chen Yingxiong's surprised expression, the reporter was even happier. He said loudly: "From February 2002 to now, in seven and a half years, 2 and nine home games have remained unbeaten!"

Looking at his triumphant look, it seems that the person who created this great achievement is not Jose Mourinho, but himself...

When Chen Yingxiong saw that person so happy, he felt it was funny—it's not you who is so awesome!
"Yo, that's amazing." Chen Yingxiong applauded.A group of reporters looked at each other, not knowing what it meant, and only Chen Yingxiong applauded at the scene. It didn't sound like congratulations, but rather... sarcasm.

"But isn't the record meant to be broken from the day it was born?"

Throwing down such a sentence, Chen Yingxiong turned around and walked away very gracefully.

A group of reporters were left behind, you looked at me, I looked at him, and finally everyone looked at Chen Yingxiong's back, I really didn't know what to say.
