Chapter 544 The Strings Are Tight

On the second day of the competition, Chen Yingxiong's name spread all over the world, and even the Catalan media had to spend a lot of time reporting Chen Yingxiong.

Because it took only four games for Chen Yingxiong to equalize the goal that Messi took ten games to achieve. Such a big event, even if the Catalan media wanted to get around it, they couldn't get around it.

For a while, the whole city of Barcelona was discussing this matter.

But not everyone's opinions are unified. Half of them are fighting for Messi, thinking that Chen Yingxiong is just out of luck.The other half clapped their hands and applauded, happy to see Messi deflated.

This is not surprising, because Barcelona has two teams, one is Messi's Barcelona, ​​which best represents the city of Barcelona and is considered the pride of the Catalans.And the other team is much inferior compared to them, they are Spaniards.

As a rival in the same city, Messi's unlucky is naturally what the Spaniards hope to see.

So, from this moment on, the Espanyol fans have become fans of Chen Yingxiong.

※ ※ ※

Everyone is discussing this matter, even within the Barcelona team.

When Messi walked into the locker room, he could clearly feel that the locker room, which was still lively just now, suddenly became quieter.

Obviously, some people shut up.

He stood at the door and looked around the locker room.Everyone pretended to be nonchalant, doing what they should do.

He knew what they were discussing before.

But he didn't expose everyone, he walked to his own cabinet.

At this time his friend Piqué came up and touched his shoulder lightly.

Messi turned to look at him.

"Don't take it to heart, dwarf (Author's Note: According to information disclosed internally by Barcelona, ​​although Messi has many nicknames among fans, in fact, everyone in the Barcelona locker room still affectionately calls him 'little man'. 'El_Enano, this nickname has something to do with his height, but the Barcelona man himself called it without any derogation, discrimination, or ridicule). We all read what the bastard said, he is so arrogant, such an arrogant person Sooner or later, you will be taught a lesson!"

Messi smiled: "I didn't take it to heart."

Pikui nodded: "It's good that you don't take it to heart. The big guy is actually a little worried that his words will affect your state..."

Messi shrugged and curled his lips: "He is him, and I am me."

Piqué patted him on the shoulder: "Anyway, in my heart, you will always be the best! No one can be better than you!"

"Thank you, Piquetón!" Messi winked at Piquetón.This nickname is the nickname that Piqué and Shakira got after their love affair was confirmed and the paired photos appeared.Team-mates used it to joke about him, saying he was "in fashion" and often reminding each other not to go in the bathroom when "Big Piqué" was in the bathroom.As for the reason, you know...

Hearing Messi call his new nickname in a joking tone, Piqué was relieved to be sure that Messi's mood was not affected by that bastard.

"We played against Real Madrid in the semi-finals. Those were two matches that attracted the attention of the whole world. Let the whole world see it. You are the best!"

The quarter-finals are all over, and the final list of the four teams that entered the semi-finals has also been released.

Real Madrid will face Barcelona first at home, while Naples will face Manchester United at home. The two teams were once divided into one group, and now they meet again, which is really fate...

※ ※ ※

Chen Yingxiong scored a hat-trick against Inter Milan, and the aftermath of tying Messi in one game is still rippling.

But Chen Yingxiong himself and Naples can't care about this anymore.

The UEFA Champions League reached the semi-finals and achieved a historic breakthrough.Manchester United is not an easy opponent to deal with, so Naples must be full of energy.

At the same time, the domestic league has also entered the sprint stage.There are still six rounds left in the league, and Naples is only two points ahead of AC Milan. Losing a game may be irreversible-the fewer games left, the less likely Naples will come back.

After two league games, they will welcome Manchester United's visit at home.

This schedule is very tight, the league has entered the final sprint stage, Naples can only grit their teeth and hold on.

As for rotation or something.Mazari is now less daring to make a big rotation.Especially in the position of Chen Yingxiong, he will never rotate.

Chen Yingxiong is in such a good state now, he can score goals on the court, and he can also put tremendous pressure on the opponent, affecting the opponent's defense both strategically and tactically.Now that the media is hyping Chen Yingxiong's status and goals, of course this opportunity should be made good use of.

But other players can rest at that time.

For example, Raul and Sanchez can get time to rest, Cassano is now focusing on playing in the league, and the same is true for Cavani.

In terms of offense, it can also free up people to rest.

Midfielder Hamsik is suffering. He is a person who cannot rest, because he is the core of the team's offense. The team's offense and defense need him. In terms of playing time, he even has more playing time than Chen Yingxiong .However, the media are always used to paying attention to those who can score goals, and they don't pay enough attention to Hamsik.Only experts know that Hamsik is actually a truly indispensable person for Naples.An excellent center forward is of course also very good, but Cavani has already shown his talent. Even if Chen Yingxiong can't play, with Cavani around, the general game is enough.

Therefore, in the third round of No.30 in the league, Naples played against Udinese at home. Even though Mazari knew that the players were exhausted, he still did not dare to let them rest. Udinese is not a weak team and is currently ranked fifth. , There is still a chance to reach the top four in the league.

What's more, in the few games that were played earlier, AC Milan had already defeated Sampdoria 3-0 at home. At present, it temporarily overwhelmed Naples by one point and ranked first in the league.

Of course, Naples missed one game, as long as they win this game, they can still return to the top spot.

Therefore, in addition to resting Raul in this game, everyone else is basically the starter for Naples to play Inter Milan.

Cavani did not start because Mazari found that although Cavani had a good relationship with Chen Yingxiong off the court and admired Chen Yingxiong very much, the performance of the two at the same time was not very good.The styles of the two players are somewhat similar, and the conflict of styles is serious.

The two of them should be expected to be center forwards. Whether it is Chen Yingxiong or Cavani playing on the wing, it is a waste.

Mazari has already thought about it. Chen Yingxiong will start this game, but he will not be allowed to play the whole game. When the time is right, he will be replaced by Cavani.

The next league match will still be arranged like this.

Anyway, he found that Chen Yingxiong has excellent physical fitness and rarely gets injured... No, since he joined Naples, he has never been injured at all, so he should be able to use him with confidence.

※ ※ ※

In the No.30 three-round league match with Udinese, Naples finally defeated Udinese 2:1 at home. It was a bit of a thrill to win. Udinese pulled back a goal at the 801st minute of No.1 to rewrite the score It became 2:[-], and they suddenly boosted their confidence, and launched a fierce offensive against Naples' penalty area in the next time.At this time, Chen Yingxiong has been replaced, and he has also restrained his offense and defended with all his strength. It is really embarrassing and embarrassing.

Naples is so embarrassed at their home court, which also shows the impact of continuous combat on them.

The physical fitness of the players is really a problem.

With 10 minutes left before the end of the game, Mazari used up all three substitutions in his hand, and one of them was a forced substitution - Maggio had a cramp in the No.707 minute , After processing, it was found that he could not persist, so he had no choice but to replace him.In fact, Mazari wanted to replace Arshavin...

Although it was difficult, these 3 minutes were still in hand.

In terms of points, Naples continues to maintain a two-point advantage over AC Milan.

Players have the urge to breathe a sigh of relief after winning a game.

Seeing this scene, Mazari frowned even tighter.

He knew that the strings of the team had been stretched to the limit...

The most important thing is that he doesn't know how long this string can last.The rest of the game was almost a bad fight.Not to mention the two games against Manchester United, it is really no fluke to be able to reach the semi-finals, Manchester United really has this strength.

Let's talk about the domestic league. Since the points gap with AC Milan is only two points, Naples can't afford to lose every game in the next game. AC Milan is now relaxed, only the domestic league and the Coppa Italia are left. This level of competition is simply too easy for them, and it is not a problem to deal with it.

Moreover, the league and the Italian Cup, which is more important, can be seen by a fool.

At a critical juncture, it must be to give up the Coppa Italia and focus on the domestic league.

The opponent is very light...

Mazari sighed, feeling his brain hurt.

※ ※ ※

Chen Yingxiong scored a goal in the game against Udinese, and now his number of goals in the league has risen to 33. Although there are still five rounds before the end of the league, everyone feels that this season The top scorer is Chen Yingxiong.

Ranked second is Chen Yingxiong's old opponent, Di Natale, who scored a total of 26 goals.

The game that just ended can be regarded as a head-to-head confrontation between the two shooters.

Remember what Chen Yingxiong said after the season ended last season?If given the chance he would swap jerseys with Di Natale.

After the game, he really did what he said. After the game, he took the initiative to find Di Natale and exchanged jerseys with the opponent.

Chen Yingxiong scored a goal in this game, but Di Natale did not.In the single game competition, Chen Yingxiong also won.

However, Di Natale was not upset at all. He also accepted his fate. Seeing that he was seven goals ahead of him in the scorer list, he knew that the top scorer in the league was hopeless.

What's more, this opponent is the most scoring goalscorer in the history of the Champions League. Losing to such a person is not a shame...
