Chapter 414 Our opponent

Real Madrid believes that the key to breaking the curse of "Dream Eight" lies in themselves, so they disdain to participate in the boring question-and-answer show of "how are our opponents" like other clubs.They didn't talk about their opponent Naples at all, only a few media in Madrid were introducing Naples to Spanish fans.

For this team, I believe that many people's memories are still in the distant 80s of last century.At that time, Maradona transferred from Barcelona and created the highest net worth in world football-1000 million US dollars.

What was the concept of $1984 million in 1000? The 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games received a total of US$920 million from the European Broadcasting Union.

Since Maradona was transferred from Barcelona, ​​Spanish fans still remember this period of time.

The Spanish media introduced the current situation in Naples to the fans, but it was only a general introduction at best.For example, let me introduce the stars of this team, as well as the current league ranking and performance in the Champions League group stage.That's all.

In fact, their introduction can be regarded as full of data. They listed the number of goals and conceded goals of Naples in the league this season, and also listed a series of data of their UEFA Champions League group stage for analysis. .

But why do you still say that their introduction is general?
Because for the Naples team, you only introduce statistics and their records, and you can only touch the fur of this team forever, but you can't go deep into it.

The reason why this team is called Naples and the reason why it is unique in the entire Italian football is definitely not because they won a few games, scored a few goals, lost a few games, and conceded a few goals.

It's because...they're called "Naples".

※ ※ ※

Real Madrid don't talk much about Napoli, and likewise, Napoli don't talk much about their opponents.

This is really a strange pair of opponents in the Champions League quarter-finals.After the game, other teams are always talking about their opponents, even a team like Barcelona is not exempt, they are talking about Stuttgart from players to coaches, whether they think they have drawn a good lottery or warn their teammates not to underestimate the enemy.

But Naples and Real Madrid unexpectedly did not discuss each other.It is understandable that Real Madrid does not discuss Naples. They are the best team in the [-]th century, and they are the giants among the giants. They must have the airs of a super giant.Disdain to discuss opponents of this level in Naples.

But Naples didn't discuss Real Madrid, which made the media feel a little strange-they obviously didn't turn a blind eye to opponents like Real Madrid because of their fine traditions and glorious past.

So why are they not talking about Real Madrid?
Outsiders may not know it, but people inside the Naples team understand it very well.

Because from knowing the result of the draw, Mazari felt that Naples' opponent was not Real Madrid, but... UEFA and Platini.

The day after the draw came out, Mazari had a few words to say as he gathered all the players together for training.

"Honestly, guys. We're fucking fucked!" Mazari frowned, his face clouded.

Everyone is used to him swearing, and it is no surprise to see him.

"Some things, I can't say it to the outside world, but I hope you all know. Why did we get assigned to Real Madrid? Because we slapped Platini in the face mercilessly in Lyon. This is his revenge. We all know that at the beginning they hoped that we would lose to Lyon, ensure that Lyon would qualify for the group, and take the first place in the group. Now he tells us with practical actions that the first place in the group is not safe." Mazari looked at everyone with a serious expression.

"But I want to thank him, why? Because he made us realize the reality that ... never put your hopes on how far you can go in this competition on the opponents you may face. We thought the group We can sit back and relax in the first place, but reality slapped us hard. It is actually very simple to decide how far we can go in this top competition..." Mazari raised a finger, "There is only one Item, our own strength. If we have absolute strength like Barcelona, ​​do we care who we are facing? So, forget who our opponent is and train hard to improve our strength!"

"I am honored from the bottom of my heart for you, guys. Because Napoli is the first team ever not to have Real Madrid, Barcelona as opponents, our opponent is the mighty UEFA, the president of UEFA, Pula. Mr. Tini. It has been the fate of Naples since the Maradona era to challenge the power. I am very happy that we still have the opportunity to continue this glorious tradition! Our Naples gave Platini a powerful counterattack in Lyon. I hope In February next year, we can still make Platini unhappy for several days!"

The players laughed out loud. The head coach's words were so vivid that they seemed to be able to imagine Platini's expression in Lyon.

What Mazari said, everyone felt warm in their hearts in the cold morning, and their blood was boiling in their bodies, filling them with motivation and fighting spirit. .

Mazari seems to know what the players are thinking. It is not good to be too enthusiastic. An excellent head coach must be good at controlling the emotions of the players, not just mobilizing them.

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. Don't work too hard during training today, because... you all know that we have a Christmas dinner tonight, and I don't want anyone to lie in the hospital bed before that..."

※ ※ ※

Christmas dinner, this is a celebration organized by the Naples club. Although there is still one week before Christmas, the last game of this year is on December [-]. After the game against Chievo, the team will have a holiday up.It's impossible to hold any celebrations at that time, everyone is eager to go on vacation, who cares about the club's celebration dinner?

The players have worked hard for a year. Through this dinner, the club would like to thank the players and staff for their hard work, and at the same time gather combat effectiveness and enhance the players' sense of belonging.

Especially when the lottery draws a lottery like Real Madrid, this dinner is particularly important.

In fact, the club officials have already issued the notice about the Christmas dinner to each player, and also informed them that this is a family dinner, and they can bring their female companions and children to participate. If you don't even have a girlfriend... Hurry up and find one!

Chen Yingxiong belongs to the kind of poor guy who "doesn't even have a girlfriend".

In fact, with Chen Yingxiong being so popular with women, he should have no shortage of girlfriends.But now he is really a bachelor, this may have something to do with his being too carefree, which woman is sure to be able to tie down this ruthless radish who wants to make love when she sees a beautiful woman?

So Chen Yingxiong was very distressed where to find a female partner.

※ ※ ※

Due to the group activities of the club in the evening, the training ended very early today, and the team gave every player time to go home to change clothes and bring their families.

Before leaving, Cassano was still making jokes about Chen Yingxiong: "I said hero, why don't you just call that chick from the TV station, I think she is interested in you." At that time, that woman behaved like a nympho.

Chen Yingxiong gave him the middle finger: "Don't worry, I will definitely bring you a beautiful woman! I won't bother you!"

Cassano laughed and left. Although he was joking, he felt that apart from that woman, Chen Yingxiong seemed to have no other better choice...

Depressed, Chen Yingxiong got into Cabrera's car and drove home.

The female companion thing really gave him a headache.Although he is not short of women, but at this moment, he lacks a suitable female companion...

He sat in the car, thought about this question for a while, thought about it, and sorted out all the women he knew in his mind, and found that there was really no suitable one.Vera, as her own press spokesperson, can come to the rescue at such a moment, but she is still in Russia... This is far from quenching her thirst.

The car accelerated suddenly, and he leaned back sharply. He knew that Cabrera was accelerating again to get rid of the fans who followed the car and wanted to ask for autographs and group photos.For the popular players in the Naples team, it is their basic skills to do everything possible to avoid those fanatical fans on the way home, which naturally includes flying cars.

This acceleration caused Chen Yingxiong to turn his attention to Cabrera who was driving.

This ruthless female bodyguard is still wearing a black suit and trousers - she has been dressed like this all year round, and sometimes Chen Yingxiong even makes Chen Yingxiong think that she doesn't change clothes all year round.Her hair was slightly longer than when Chen Yingxiong first saw her, at least she could comb her hair.

Chen Yingxiong has lived with her under the same roof for more than a year, and has never seen her wear makeup, not even the most basic lipstick.

No necklace, no earrings, no rings, and no other accessories of any kind.

She wasn't interested in anything that all women were interested in.

If it weren't for her figure, which is still quite bumpy, it really makes people think that she is not a woman.

In the past, Chen Yingxiong still wanted to tease her, such as asking her to pretend to be his girlfriend when going out to hide her identity.It turned out that this person had no sentimentality at all, it was really boring, and gradually he stopped doing it.

The problem of finding a female companion still troubled Chen Yingxiong. He looked at the woman who didn't look like a woman in front of him, and thought that he should be a dead horse as a living horse doctor.If he refused, he would go to the new female vase of the TV station. She came to leave her phone number after the show was finished that day. At least she would not refuse her...

"Hello, Christine."

"What's the matter, Mr. Chen?" Cabrera replied in a cold tone, with a feeling of repulsion.If Chen Yingxiong hadn't gotten used to her tone, he might have shut up on the spot and didn't talk about the request later.

"Do me a favor. We're having a Christmas dinner at the club tonight, and...it's a family dinner, and every player is required to bring a girlfriend or something..."

"You want me to be your female companion, Mr. Chen?" Cabrera directly stated Chen Yingxiong's request.

Chen Yingxiong nodded: "It's like this. Of course, uh, if you don't want to, it's okay, I'll find another woman..."

"Okay. It's my duty to protect you, Mr. Chen."

Cabrera's answer made Chen Yingxiong unable to react for a while, and he continued to babble: "...you know, my popularity with women is very good, so in fact, I still have a few candidates... What do you say? ?” He just reacted at this time, as if the network speed was delayed.

"I agreed. It is my duty to protect you, Mr. Chen." Cabrera repeated the words.

Chen Yingxiong opened his mouth wide: "It's an internal banquet, and there will never be extreme fans mixed in..."

"You can't let your guard down on any occasion." Cabrera replied formulaically.

Chen Yingxiong originally wanted to make some complaints, but when he thought that everyone agreed, he couldn't be too mean...

All he just pouted and said nothing.

※ ※ ※

After a long time, Cabrera, who was concentrating on fighting wits with the fans, suddenly heard a voice from the back seat: "Thank you, Christine."

※ ※ ※

PS, our goal is to surpass as much as we can on the monthly ticket list, and as much as we can move forward!
Everyone satisfy me!
