Heroes of the Restricted Zone

Chapter 484 Krishna (first update)
For ordinary fans who can only watch Serie A on TV, the new season starts from the day when the first round of the league starts.For players like Chen Yingxiong, the new season starts from the day when the training camp starts.For a team coach like Mazzarri and a team manager like Bigan, the new season begins the day the old season ends.

Naples has entered the Champions League for two consecutive years. Although they are all qualifying matches, it also means that Naples is eligible to pursue greater goals.Entering the Champions League every year in the future may just be a goal that must be achieved, rather than a task that the whole team can do with all their efforts.

That being the case, the investment in all aspects of the team will also increase.

The team building strategy should be based on the standards of giants that can cope with multi-line operations.

It is no longer enough to gather eleven outstanding players.

So the transfer work for Naples started very early.

In fact, before the end of last season, Naples had already started poaching people.Their first target was left-back Domenico_Criscito, who they hadn't been able to poach last season.

Last summer, Mazzarri seemed to be poaching this young left-back who is well-known in Italy. Unfortunately, at that time, the ownership of Criscito still belonged to Juventus. Although he played in Genoa, he was loaned out.

Cristo himself really wanted to come to Naples, because he was a Neapolitan and was born in Circola in the Naples area.But Juventus, as one of Naples' mortal enemies, certainly will not give a strong support to the mortal enemy.

Many things can happen in one season, not to mention the cheating management of the Juventus club.

Genoa bought out the ownership of Criscito from Juventus. Since then, even if Criscito is a Genoa player, he has nothing to do with Juventus.

In this way, it will be much easier to buy in Naples.

Although Clichito started his football career in Genoa, compared with Naples, which has entered the Champions League for two consecutive years, and Genoa, which can only rank ninth and has not even qualified for the Europa League, it is difficult for normal people to choose which one to choose. would hesitate.

But at the same time, it is not just the Naples family who want Criscito. AC Milan and Fiorentina have also observed this player for a long time.They all decided to make a move this summer.

Genoa just watched the excitement happily, just watched the three fights, and in the end whoever bid the highest, I would sell the house.As for keeping Cristo?They didn't think about it.For a small team like Genoa, once they fail to qualify for the European competition, it will be difficult to keep those ambitious players in the team.

In the 2008-2009 season, Genoa worked hard for a season, and was finally squeezed from the fourth place in the league by Naples, and could only play in the UEFA Cup.Even so, it's better than not even qualifying for the UEFA Cup today, right?You can't play in the Champions League. If you can play in the UEFA Cup, the players are still willing to stay in the team.If all European qualifications are gone, who would like to stay here?Those with connections and strong managers will naturally find another way out.The ones left either have feelings for this team, or they are all incapable and have no connections.

To say that AC Milan and Fiorentina have a slight advantage over Naples, especially AC Milan, which can be regarded as a giant no matter how close they are.

Fiorentina was also one of the Seven Sisters of Serie A that year, a veteran and strong team.Naples has always been a grassroots player. Maradona was once rich in those few years, and he was quickly beaten back to his original shape after that.In the eyes of the northern powers, Naples is not popular.

What if you want to compete with teams like AC Milan and Fiorentina for Criscito?On the one hand, it is to express your sincerity.This sincerity is not expressed to Criscito, but to the Genoa club.

The Genoa club is now a rare commodity, and of course they have to ask for a lot of money.They said that without 800 million euros, don't try to take Cristo from us.

How much was AC Milan's initial offer? 500 million euros.

Genoa was furious: You sent the beggar! Want to buy Cristo for 500 million?Then I will buy your Pato for 500 million, will you do it?

Florence bid 700 million.

Genoa still disagreed.

How much sincerity is Naples? 1000 million euros.

Twice as high as AC Milan.

But Genoa was still not satisfied.But Naples' status in the opponent's mind is much heavier than the other two.How much you bid can really show sincerity, you are really sincere, even if you know that you are being treated as a winner, you still have to be a winner.Why?Because you really need this person, you really need him sincerely...

Anyway, the few companies continued to bargain like this. Anyway, the season was not over yet, and everyone was not in a hurry.It’s too bad, Genoa can immediately announce that “Our Cristo is not for sale, who said we want to sell him for money? He is an important member of us, and Genoa football depends entirely on him!” The transfer window was closed.

One is to show sincerity, and the other is to play the emotional card.

How to play the emotional card?

As mentioned earlier, Cristo is a Neapolitan. Although he was not born in Naples, his birthplace, Circola, is in the Naples area, so he can be considered as a Neapolitan.

Since you are from your hometown, it is easier to talk.Don't you want to play for your hometown team?Don't you want to be the hero of your hometown team?Don't you want to dedicate your youth to your hometown elders?
In the end, Naples played a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, they were full of sincerity, and on the other hand, they played the emotional card. At a price of 300 million euros, they finally dug up the rising star of Italian football to Naples.

Criscito was selected for the Italian national team lineup of this World Cup in South Africa, which is enough to explain his future in Italian football.So 300 million euros is really not expensive, and this deal is very worthwhile.

The fans in Naples also praised it, because Criscito is a native of Naples, and everyone always hopes that their team has more local players, which will make them more proud to support.No one wants to face a group of starting 11 players who are all foreigners. Call it the home team, right?Especially someone like Naples...

※ ※ ※

On July [-], after the World Cup final, Criscito's transfer was finalized.

From the initial interest to the win, Naples spent more than a season, and finally got what they wanted.

But Mazari wasn't too happy.Because Criscito is a planned signing, a part of what should have come to Naples.

He wasn't surprised at all, and he wasn't surprised at all.After more than a year of tireless efforts in the Raiders, Criscito was more inclined to join his hometown team.Everyone can see that the hometown team is going uphill now, and he is the main force when he comes.Going to Florence has to face the competition of Chilean Vargas, and going to AC Milan...that is a wealthy family. Once you enter the wealthy family, you may have to sit on the bench before you can survive, not to mention that you are still famous for using old men. AC Milan is gone.Cristo has also been to Juventus, and he doesn't know what it's like to be a wealthy family, so it's impossible to simply rely on the name of a wealthy family to coax him to join.

After winning Cristo, Mazari had to worry about another thing.

forward.

Cassano suffered from a heart attack. Although it is not serious, it is not known how long it will take to recover, how much state he will be able to recover after his comeback, and whether he will relapse again.

Now Cassano is still recuperating at home, and it is said that it will take half a month before he can start physical training.When he reappears, I really don't know when it happened...

Anyway, just be prepared for him not to be able to play this year.

Cassano is no longer there, anyway, there are Sanchez and Arshavin, one right and one left, and they can still handle it.At most, it is to add some substitute players.

The other position gave Mazari a headache.

Chen Yingxiong's center position.

This position has always been played by Sarajeta as a substitute.However, after the end of last season, the contract between Sarajeta and Naples has expired.Mazari does not plan to renew his contract, and now he has left the team.It stands to reason that if a center is needed, Sarajeta should be kept.

But Mazari is very clear that the battlefield he needs a center is not in the domestic league, but in the Champions League.In a match like the Champions League group stage, Sarajeta can't handle it at all. Let him play the main force, so don't expect him to score any goals.

What he needs is a center forward who can do well in the Champions League, who can ensure that the team can qualify for the Champions League group stage without Chen Yingxiong.Such a center is not something that Sarajeta can do.

However, since Chen Yingxiong was only suspended for eight games, and not permanently suspended, that is to say, once he entered the knockout stage and Chen Yingxiong came back, his replacement would be useless.So he still can't consider those centers who are talented at a young age, or who are famous when they are playing.Not to mention the high price and low cost performance of those people, they would definitely not be willing to come to Naples as a substitute for Chen Yingxiong. Everyone is a well-known player, so why should I come here and be detained as a "temporary substitute for Chen Yingxiong" hat?Which team I just go to is not the main force?Why come to a small country team like Naples to be a 22-year-old guy as a substitute?
Those substitutes that other teams don't want, Mazari doesn't like it, you may not even be as good as Sarajeta, who left the team, should I buy you for white-collar salary?
After such a calculation, in the end, only those veterans with some reputation and strength can be considered.

A veteran who is very old and is about to retire, due to physical and other reasons, it is definitely not enough to play the main force throughout the season.Because of their age, they all know that their position in the team is as a substitute.In this way, there will be no conflict with Chen Yingxiong's position.

But when it comes to a certain person, the replacement for Chen Yingxiong... Who should I choose?
