Heroes of the Restricted Zone

Chapter 351 Focus Battle
"...Heroes: Records are meant to be broken!"

Mourinho put down the newspaper, showing his characteristic unpredictable smile. When he smiled crookedly, you don't know whether he is happy, mocking, or contemptuous. you.

He got up and walked to the door of the office, where a new day of training was waiting for him.

On the sidelines of the training pitch, he was mobbed by the media.During the 15 minutes of public training, these reporters have the freedom to interview.

"Jose, what do you think of Chen Yingxiong's words?"

"Are you confident in defending your unbeaten record at home?"

Reporters raised their microphones and reached for him, all the while yelling.

Mourinho stood in front of the reporters.

"What he said is very reasonable. The only meaning of any record is to be broken." The Portuguese's first sentence made many reporters have a tendency to be surprised. "But it wasn't him who broke the record."

It was the second sentence that made many reporters secretly breathe a sigh of relief-this is the style of Jose Mourinho!

After Mourinho stayed in Italy for a year, everyone gradually got used to his style of acting. Although it still annoyed many people, especially the coaches in the circle, the reporters liked it very much.Because there is such a person, they have no shortage of news hype.

The arrival of Chen Yingxiong also brought them the same feeling - on the first day of his arrival, he aroused the attention of the whole of Italy and caused riots in the entire city of Naples.Never before has any player been able to make such a big noise when joining.When Maradona came to Naples, 8 fans crowded into the San Paolo Stadium, and more than [-] people still paid for tickets to enter the stadium. The tickets sold by the Naples club to welcome Maradona cost [-] yuan each. Lira has been sold out long ago, and many people bought tickets from scalpers at ten times the price.These people just came to see the legendary Maradona.

The way Maradona arrived at the stadium by helicopter is also unique, without the effect of others.

But Maradona did not cause riots throughout Naples, causing fans and police to attack each other, overturning police cars, and throwing stones, right?
So this player, who made more noise than Maradona as soon as he came, is naturally very popular with the media.

The last time these two collided, the reporters would have had an orgasm.

This time, they did not disappoint the reporters who were waiting to see the good show.

You come and go, tit for tat, no one will obey the other, there is a posture of life and death.

But readers love to read stories like this.

"I don't think Naples can be compared with Inter Milan... This is not what I said to provoke them deliberately, I am telling the truth." Inter Milan's head coach shrugged, "In terms of strength, they are completely different from us. A class. This is our home ground and we are not afraid of anyone or any team here."

Mourinho's attitude is very tough, and he has no intention of giving in at all.

※ ※ ※

"Mourinho had a tough attitude during the interview. It seems that he absolutely does not want his home unbeaten record to be broken by Chen Yingxiong... That is to say, Inter Milan will also use their main force in this game..."

"...In terms of strength, Inter Milan is of course better than Naples. Judging from the current state of both sides, Naples does not have an advantage. The first thing is that they beat AC Milan 4-0 away in the Milan derby in the second round of the league! With the momentum of this big victory, Inter Milan rushed to the No.1 position in the domestic league. This time it is At home, Inter Milan played against Naples, I don’t think Naples has the upper hand…”

"Last season, Naples defeated Inter Milan at their home court, which created a little trouble for Mourinho's team before they ascended the throne. Although it did not prevent Inter Milan from winning the championship in advance, it made Mourinho's heart ache. Blocked by a stone, I believe he must be very upset..."

"We have to revisit the situation of the second round match between the two teams last season... The scene where Chen Yingxiong rushed to Mourinho after scoring a goal and lifted his jersey to celebrate was the best of last season's league. One of the classic shots. This is the shot..." Chen Yingxiong's celebration after scoring a goal appeared on the TV screen. In the chaotic scene, only he and Mourinho maintained their original postures, silently facing the crowd. The opponent protested.

This scene is indeed quite classic, and has been repeatedly broadcast on many Italian TV stations.

"...the hatred between these two teams doesn't need us to say too much. You have seen the verbal battle between the two teams last season...just say that the grievances between Mourinho and Chen Yingxiong have already Enough for us to write a whole page, so this game is a big deal for both of us..."

"In short, this will be the focus of this round of the league!"

The game has not yet started, and the Italian media have worked together to heat up the game.

※ ※ ※

Chen Yingxiong did not continue to respond to Mourinho's tough attitude, and his own attitude was also very firm.But it is very weak to say this thing in words, and it needs to be proved by iron-like facts!
So he suffocated all his energy until the game, and went to ask Mourinho for advice.

This time he didn't prepare any T-shirts with words written all over them.He no longer needs to prove who he is to Mourinho. Mourinho is also very smart this time and didn't say stupid things like "Who is Chen Yingxiong".

The two sides have already secured their respective names, and this knife is no longer a nameless ghost.

Like the last time the two sides played against each other, after Chen Yingxiong scored a goal, he ran to Mourinho to demonstrate who he was provocatively. It is estimated that this game will never happen again.

After experiencing some struggles, Mazzarri finally decided to use the strongest lineup against Inter Milan.On the one hand, there are still six days before the Champions League group stage, and it is unreasonable to rotate at this time.Another aspect is that this game has been hyped up by the media, and the whole of Italy is discussing the confrontation between the two teams. Even if the strength is not as good as the opponent, they cannot admit defeat in advance.Otherwise, how can he, as the head coach, maintain his prestige in front of the players?

You know, in the locker room at Anfield, he personally said impassionedly to the players under him: "We must revive the banner of Naples and tell them that none of us has ever been afraid."

If facing Inter Milan, he was timid before the battle and replaced with a bunch of substitutes, wouldn't this be a slap in the face?

If you do this, how can you motivate players in the future?
The players in Naples are all a bit wild. This group of players is easy to manage, but also very difficult to manage.The good thing is that as long as they recognize you, they will listen to you.I don't care if you make them dissatisfied, I don't know what kind of tricks these thorns will come up with...

As long as you get your temper right, you can bring this team to a strong enough combat effectiveness.

Their temper is just like the city of Naples and the people in this city—never bow to power, and fight against the rich and powerful capitalists in the north to the end.The stronger the opponent, the more fighting spirit they have.On the contrary, if the opponent is too weak, they will lose interest...

This is also one of the reasons for the ups and downs of this team's performance.

Therefore, Mazari is worried that if he takes the initiative to show weakness in Meazza, it will not only affect the team's performance in the league, but also affect the morale of the team, which will lead to the collapse of the Champions League.He didn't dare to take this risk, because it would be a greater loss than a player's injury. If a player is injured, there are substitutes, and tactics can be adjusted to make up for it. It's a mess...

This kind of situation is too common in football.

For example, Udinese is not weak, and the team is well managed, but why are their results always poor, and no one thinks that they will be the kind of team capable of threatening the giants?
Just because this team is too "utilitarian" and "short-sighted", they buy young players at low prices and sell them at high prices. This is their characteristic, and everyone knows it.As long as the team improves and enters the European competition, what the team thinks is definitely not to buy powerful players and have a good time in the European competition, but... to take advantage of the fact that those players can still sell at a high price , Selling all the heroes of the team's ability to enter the European war to make money!Then go around to search for those young players who have potential but are not well-known, dig them at a low price and train them for a few years, and wait for the next time they have the opportunity to go to the European war, and continue to sell...

With such a team, it is no wonder that it is always the fate of the mid-range team. They obviously have the conditions, but they can't get up.

Mazzarri doesn't want Naples to be that kind of team.

His boss, Aurelio de Laurentiis, had ambitions, so why didn't he?He hopes to restore Naples to its glory, and hopes to become that famous figure in history.

So it is very important to re-condense the ethos of Naples.

The fighting spirit of an army is tempered in blood and fire through tough battles.The same is true for teams. If a team can only bully teams that are weaker than itself, or teams with similar strength to itself, but surrender to a strong team, vulnerable and without fighting spirit, it has no future at all. spoken.

This season, Mazari doesn't know what the team's final results will be, but it is indeed a very important season.Because this is his first season leading Naples completely, he wants to instill his philosophy into this team.

Dare to go head-to-head with a strong team is one of the necessary qualities.

For this reason, Mazzari gritted his teeth and formed the strongest lineup, going to Meazza and Inter Milan to fight to the death!
