Chapter 499 Different Situations of the League and the Champions League

As Raul himself said, he has played in Real Madrid's first team for 15 years, and has been used as a banner and image spokesperson for ten years. As the first captain for seven years, pressure is really commonplace for him. up.

The media's criticism of him did not affect him.

And he quickly turned criticism from the media into praise.

On September 3th, the third round of the league, Naples challenged Sampdoria away, and Naples won 1:[-].In this game, Raul scored his first official game goal after joining Naples.

It was a very nice shot.

After the game, the direction of the media changed immediately, from criticizing Raul to praising Raul for his immortality.

What "This is the king Raul!" "Raul has shown people why he will always be respected!" "Real Madrid will regret letting go of Raul!"

Those touting the nasty ones make people get goosebumps even when they see them.The media is indeed the most unscrupulous in the world.

And Raul just smiled at this and ignored it at all.

When Chen Yingxiong saw the situation of the media, he knew how worried he was. There was really no need for Raul to have emotional changes because of the media's fuss.

Not to mention Raul, he wouldn't have done it himself.

Chen Yingxiong scored another goal in this game, and his number of goals in the new season has reached three.It's a good start for myself to compete for the league's top scorer.

He is currently tied for the top scorer in the league with Inter Milan's Samuel Eto'o with these three goals.

The next UEFA Champions League group match will have to wait until September 29. Before that, Naples can devote all its energy to the league.

Chen Yingxiong wanted to use all his firepower.

On September 22, Naples played against Chievo at home, and the final score was 3:1.Chen Yingxiong went all out in this game and staged a hat-trick.

The commentators were crazy during the game, because now Chen Yingxiong's goals are easily reminiscent of his "wild talk" that he said he would occupy the Serie A Golden Boot for three consecutive years.

Every time he scores a goal, the rant resurfaces in everyone's mind to remind everyone - I mean it!I'm not kidding!This is the top scorer in Serie A for three consecutive victories, I am very serious!
"You don't need to play in the UEFA Champions League, and you don't need to be distracted by two-line battles. Chen Yingxiong can use all his strength in the league. So... the opponents in the league are all out of luck!"

This is what a media outlet said after the game.

He was right, Naples' opponents were indeed out of luck.

Napoli have not had such a good start to the league.The league has started four rounds, with three wins and one tie, without a loss.With [-] points, they overwhelm Inter Milan with a goal difference advantage and temporarily rank first in the league!

Since Naples returned to Serie A, they have never sat in this position, even if it is only temporarily...

Chen Yingxiong himself took the lead with six goals, leaving behind Eto'o.In this round of the league, Eto'o scored twice, but he couldn't match Chen Yingxiong's hat-trick.

Someone suddenly thought of Chen Yingxiong when he was still playing for Zenit St. Petersburg before he transferred to Naples.His last season in the Russian Premier League... no, maybe the last half of it would be appropriate.

In the last half of the season, he scored crazy goals, scoring 21 goals in [-] rounds of the league, and finally helped him to be the top scorer of the Russian Super League that season even though he was absent from the remaining two-thirds of the league. .It was pretty big news at the time.It's just that because the gold content of the Russian Super League is too low in the eyes of many people, it has no sensational effect.

Comparing the two now, it is inevitable that people will think about the past of that season.

At the beginning, Chen Yingxiong scored crazy goals in the Russian Super League and won the top scorer of the league. Some people said that the defense of the Russian Super League is too poor. Individuals can do such things there, and there is nothing to brag about.

Well, now Chen Yingxiong is facing the league with the best defense in the world, Serie A.Judging by his appearance, it seems that he wants to play like this in Serie A...

This can't help but remind people a lot.

And through these few games, everyone also found that Chen Yingxiong's running position is more erratic than in the previous two seasons. He always seems to appear in places that no one expected.Although it may not be able to score a goal, it can also scare everyone...

The most intuitive effect brought about by the erratic movement is... the defenders found it more difficult to freeze Chen Yingxiong in the game than before.

In the past, Chen Yingxiong's running range was very small. Apart from straight-line retracement, he was active in the restricted area, and he never went to the side of the restricted area.Mainly concentrated in the middle of the restricted area.

So it's easy to defend him, just guard against him in the penalty area. If the guard level is high enough, it's not impossible to freeze Chen Yingxiong.If the defender's level is not high, then the entire defense line will work together to cut off the connection between Chen Yingxiong and the midfield, especially the connection between the two wings, so that Chen Yingxiong cannot receive the pass.

In this way, Chen Yingxiong basically has no chance.

But since this season, everyone has noticed a change.Chen Yingxiong's ability to capture opportunities in front of the goal has been significantly enhanced.In the four games, there were an average of nine shots per game. Although these shots may not all be converted into goals, it shows that he can capture opportunities.

He has scored six goals so far, three of which are headers, one is a long-range shot, and the other two are spot-on shots in the penalty area.But among the three headers, it was not the previous scoring method of relying on brute force to solve the battle. Two of them were headers after finding space in front of the goal.

Specific performance can explain the problem well.

The media began to notice this, thinking that Chen Yingxiong was making progress.As a striker who has won the top scorer in Serie A for two consecutive seasons and won the Golden Boot of the Champions League top scorer in the first season in the Champions League, he is only 22 years old, but he is still making obvious steps.

This is a very incredible thing.Many people used to think that Chen Yingxiong belonged to the wunderkind type. He was too dazzling at the beginning, and his ability reached the limit at a young age, and it was difficult to improve after that.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yingxiong was making such obvious progress.

Many people were dumbfounded, while his opponents felt...horrified.

If this trend continues, what will Chen Yingxiong look like in the end?Even the most imaginative people dare not think about it.

Fortunately, in the fifth round of the league, Chen Yingxiong did not continue to score, which made many people secretly relieved.

Otherwise, I really don't know how to describe this person...Monster?
※ ※ ※

On September 26, in the fifth round of the league, Naples beat Cesena 4:1 in an away game. Chen Yingxiong was unlucky.However, he contributed two assists, which can be regarded as an important contributor to the team's victory, and he performed well.

After this league game, Chen Yingxiong has nothing to do.

The second game of the Champions League group stage is here.

Naples away to Glasgow Rangers.

In this game, Raul finally opened his mouth and helped Naples score an equalizer.

After he scored, the commentators took off their hats to pay tribute.

Because this is the No.60 seven goals he scored in the Champions League. Although he is one goal behind Inzaghi and two goals behind the old bomber Gerd Muller in the European War scoring list, he is still behind in the Champions League. On the scorer list, he is the well-deserved number one in history.In the 55 years since the Champions League was founded, no one has scored more goals than him.

Although it was a great event that Raul scored a goal, Naples still failed to win. They shook hands with Rangers 1:1 in the away game.

After the two rounds of the group stage, with two points, they are currently ranked second in the group, but this name is not safe. The current situation in Group C is like this-Manchester United was tied by Glasgow Rangers in the first round at home, Naples drew with Valencia in the first round, and there was no goal in these two games.In the second round, the powerful Manchester United finally started to show off. They defeated Valencia 1:0 away, and Naples drew Rangers 1:1 away.Therefore, Manchester United, with one win and one tie, has four points and ranks first in the group.They are followed by two teams with two consecutive draws, Napoli and Rangers.The two teams have the same number of goals scored, the same number of goals conceded, and the relationship between victory and defeat is also the same. However, Naples temporarily ranks second in the group by virtue of the advantage of away goals.Rangers are third, while Valencia finish last with just one point.

Although it has only played two rounds of the group stage, this group has already shown the demeanor of the "group of death".

From the current point of view, Manchester United has a relatively large advantage. Anyone of the other three teams may qualify, and anyone may be eliminated.The difference of one word is the difference between heaven and hell.

Naples is currently ranked second in the group, and there is nothing to be happy about. At the beginning of the group stage, they don't look at the rankings, but only at the points.

The points are only two points, and the second place in the group will be pulled down one day.

The media have said that although this topic has been talked about by everyone, they still have to say-without Chen Yingxiong, Naples' offensive firepower has dropped sharply.Although Raul scored a goal, Naples is still not quite used to it.

Is it really necessary to take the entire group stage to adapt?I'm afraid that after getting used to it in the end, and the group stage is over, Naples will have to be eliminated in the end...

But Chen Yingxiong can't help with this matter, all he can do is to perform better in the league.Perhaps this will allow the team to have more experience to cope with the Champions League group stage.

So in the sixth round of the league, his "scoring drought" that lasted only one round ended.

Relying on his goal, Naples beat Rome 2:0 at home and won the first "Sun Derby" victory of the season.

The future of the Champions League death group is filled with fog, but in Serie A, Naples is now leading the Serie A pack!
