Chapter 500 Worthy of Being the Group of Death
Although this summer, Naples bought some players and strengthened the thickness of the bench.However, Naples is still not as extravagant as a real giant, with a lineup for the league and a lineup for the cup, and the starting lineup for half a season without repeating the same...

Naples under Mazzarri is still implementing a limited rotation.That is to say, not everyone will be rotated, and some positions will not be rotated.

However, in one position, Naples implemented a very extravagant rotation.

That's center forward.

In the domestic league, Chen Yingxiong is the starting center and the absolute core of tactics.In the Champions League, everyone has to adjust and re-adapt to the tactics with Raul as the core of the offense.

So it's no wonder that Naples' performance in the Champions League is very different from theirs last season. It is really this kind of switch, and the Naples team really needs time to adapt.

For Naples, and for Chen Yingxiong, this is a brand new experience.

Naples' two consecutive draws in the Champions League will naturally make Naples fans worried about the future of the team, but there are also happy people.It would be even better if Naples could not make it out of the group.

It's just that people who gloat like this are a minority after all.

Even Barcelona, ​​in fact, expect Naples to qualify from the group, and then the two meet.

Because last season, although Barcelona eliminated Naples.But after the game, many media said that Barcelona won without force, and the reason why they were able to eliminate Naples was entirely because of the help behind UEFA.

There is little solid evidence for these conspiracy theories, except for the controversial sentence.But there is a market, everyone is always dark inside, everyone has a devil in their hearts.Conspiracy theory is a good way to release the devil in everyone's heart in a way that everyone thinks is reasonable.

After that game, Barcelona was not less scolded.Some people say that they are bullying, others say that they are all a group of performance artists... Later, the classic performance of Butzkes covering his face and peeking made the whole Barcelona team get this name, even the world-renowned La Masia, Barcelona's youth training base, has become "La Masia Film and Television Academy"...

So Barcelona up and down are actually suffocating in their hearts.Xin said that if it wasn't for you Naples, why would we bear so many infamy?Is our reputation so bad?
So don't look at Naples clamoring for revenge from Barcelona.In fact, Barcelona also wanted revenge in their hearts.

They really want to meet Napoli again, whether it is in the quarter-finals or the final, as long as they meet.This time they want to defeat Naples in a dignified manner, erase all the stigma they have carried before, and let the whole world see that our Barcelona wins are based on football skills and strength, not acting skills and so-called godfathers!

Although the center position can be rotated at will, other positions should not be so excessive.Therefore, Naples always has to preserve its strength in the league for the UEFA Champions League.This is especially true in the first and last league matches of the UEFA Champions League group stage.

In the seventh round of the league, Naples' five-game winning streak was terminated.Because they are going to Old Trafford to challenge Manchester United in the middle of the week, this is not an easy game to play.

In order to prepare for this game, Mazari sent a second-line lineup composed of many substitute players in the league. Except for goalkeeper De Sanctis and center Chen Yingxiong, all the starting lineups were changed.

In the end, Naples shook hands with Catania 1:1 in the away game, and Chen Yingxiong, who lacked support, failed to score.

Although they didn't win, [-] points still put Naples at the top of the league table, but they were only one point away from being chased by Lazio behind them.

After this game, Naples will go away to challenge Manchester United.

Almost no one was optimistic about Naples before the game.

In fact, the same is true from the perspective of the first half of the game.

Naples was conceded three goals by Manchester United in the first half. The defense line composed of Paulo Cannavaro, Ranocchia, Macho and Cristo was completely sieved by Manchester United's powerful attack power...

Nani scored twice in 6 minutes. In No. 13 minutes, he had already helped the team seal the victory.

No. 40 two minutes, Park Ji-sung added another icing on the cake.

The Italian narrator lamented: "Naples without a hero is like a tiger whose claws have been pulled out..."

Just when everyone was saddened by Naples' failure, Naples gave everyone a sap at the beginning of the second half.

They got it back!

"No. 405 minutes! Arshavin from Naples solo! Beautiful goal!!"

The commentator's excited howls came from the TV, and Chen Yingxiong jumped up from the sofa, raising his arms and shouting: "Long live Shava!"

Cabrera next to him couldn't help but smile when he saw Chen Yingxiong being so excited.

This person's performance is not like that big star at all, more like an ordinary fan.

※ ※ ※

However, Arshavin's goal only made Chen Yingxiong and other Naples fans happy for a while, and then Naples' offensive was fierce, but they did not score for a long time.

Manchester United is very experienced in controlling the ball and coping with it with ease.

It wasn't until the No.709 minute that Naples scored the second goal by Criscito.However, the team is still one goal behind Manchester United.

In the following time, Naples attacked with all their strength, and they did not want to defend at all. Ferguson shrank his defense and wanted to hold the leading advantage of this goal.

The game was so intense that in the final 10 minutes, both sides received a red card.The goal hero Cristo received his second yellow card of the game because of his excessive movement when fighting with his opponent, and was sent off. Two minutes later, Manchester United's Anderson also received a red card for a dangerous flying tackle.

But no matter how fierce the players on both sides fought, Naples failed to equalize the score, and Manchester United finally kept their victory.

2:3, Naples suffered their first defeat in the Champions League of the new season at Old Trafford.

On the other side, Glasgow Rangers and Valencia each scored a goal at home, and they shook hands 1:1.

In this way, Manchester United won two and drew one, and ranked first in the group with seven points.And Naples fell from the second place in the group.The second place in the group became the Glasgow Rangers with three games, three draws and three points.Naples temporarily ranks third with the advantage of more goals, and Valencia continues to rank fourth, but they have already scored the same points as Naples.

After three rounds, the group stage is more than halfway through.Analysts believe that it can basically be said that Manchester United will have no major problems in qualifying from this group as the first in the group.

The points of the remaining three teams are still very close, and the situation is unknown.

However, Mazari did not appear too frustrated when he participated in the press conference after the game. He expressed his pride and pride in the performance of the players in the second half.He also said that as long as Naples can show the momentum of the second half in the next three group games, it will not be difficult to qualify for the group.

※ ※ ※

Back in the domestic league, Naples returned from a loss at Old Trafford, but Chen Yingxiong felt the spirit from his teammates-the players were not too depressed, they were full of fighting spirit and optimism.As Mazari said, this spirit is Naples' most precious asset and its most powerful weapon. As long as you maintain this mental state, it is not impossible for Naples to qualify for the group stage... Last season, let's talk about the strength of Naples It doesn't matter how strong they are. Isn't it the fearless spirit that makes them different from other teams?
All Chen Yingxiong has to do is to play well in the league and lighten the burden on his teammates.

Just in time, in the eighth round of the league, Naples will welcome AC Milan at home.

It is not uncommon for Naples to play against AC Milan, and it is not uncommon for Chen Yingxiong to play against AC Milan.

However, Chen Yingxiong had the opportunity to confront Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who he didn't like again.This is the first face-to-face confrontation between the two since they became hostile.

This season, when the summer transfer window is about to close, on August 28, AC Milan announced that it has loaned the Swedish god Ibrahimovic from Barcelona.

And AC Milan also has the priority to buy out Ibrahimovic for 400 million euros after the loan period expires.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is very happy to join AC Milan. He said that he joined one of the greatest clubs in the world, even better than Barcelona.

As a result, many Barcelona fans were very dissatisfied with the Swede's statement. Ibrahimovic's practice of joining a team and praising the new club desperately, and then belittling the old club is really disliked.

Also dissatisfied are the fans of Inter Milan.As AC Milan's rivals in the same city, they couldn't accept the superstar of Meazza, but now they have become a member of AC Milan, and they have blown AC Milan into the sky.

It is said that some Chinese Inter Milan fans also gave Ibrahimovic a nickname, because Ibrahimovic's abbreviation in China is "Ibrahimovic", so they call Ibrahimovic "Lu Bu". "...The meaning behind that is self-evident, and even a Chinese knows it.

Ibrahimovic kissed Barcelona's team emblem when he joined Barcelona, ​​which disgusted Inter Milan fans. Now that he has joined AC Milan, Inter Milan fans will not show him a good face.

In fact, Ibrahimovic has no place in Barcelona for a long time. With the joining of Villa this season, he has completely become a beggar.There is a very important reason for Ibrahimovic to choose to return to Serie A.

That is, Serie A has Chen Yingxiong.

He transferred and left a season ago, and was considered by some media to avoid Chen Yingxiong, which made him very upset.

So now when he decides to leave Barcelona, ​​he chooses Serie A without hesitation. He wants to use practical actions to prove that he is not afraid of Chen Yingxiong at all.All the rumors about him going to La Liga because he was afraid of competing with Chen Yingxiong!

At the same time, he also wanted to compete directly with Chen Yingxiong to prove that he was not as weak as Chen Yingxiong.

However, in the seven rounds of the league, Chen Yingxiong of Naples scored seven goals, while Ibrahimovic only scored one goal. From this point of view, he is still inferior to Chen Yingxiong...
