Lord of Greenery

Chapter 131 Number Competition
Before going to Naples, what Li Ze needs to consider most is the team's gang problem.

In Naples, the players were clearly divided into two gangs, the South American gang and the Italian gang.

The peculiar thing is that in today's Naples, all the defenders are Italian.

It's not surprising if you insist, the Italian's defensive level is well known.

It can be said that among the world's football powers, only Italy has always been famous for its defense.

In the past few years, Italy has also produced many strong defenders.

There are Nesta, Cannavaro, Zambrotta, Panucci and others in the local area.

Foreigners also include Thuram, Maicon, Samuel, Cafu, Zanetti and others.

It can be said that defenders who can play in Italy, especially foreign defenders, must have two brushes.

The Italian gang controls Naples' defense, and the South American gang controls Naples' offense.

Because the most outstanding star in the history of the team is Maradona, Naples also loves the house and Ukraine, and they value Argentine players.

Lavitch, who was in the team before, is one of the representatives.

In addition to the Argentines, the Uruguayans have the most South American gangs, and the representative is Gargano, who is known as "Gattuso of Uruguay".

This summer, Naples still maintains such a tradition. Apart from Li Ze, there are three main players introduced by Naples——

The first one is Herman Dennis, an Argentine shooter who scored 36 goals in 27 games for the Argentine Independiente last season!
In the eyes of many people, the Argentine striker formed by him and Lavezzi is one of the highlights of Naples this season.

The second place is Christian Maggio, a talented player who was a right winger in Sampdoria last season, and was introduced to Naples this season.

In the warm-up match, Napoli coach Eddie Rea put him at right-back.

At the right back position, Macho fully demonstrated his offensive and defensive characteristics and performed quite well.

Because of his outstanding performance, many fans are full of resentment towards Italian coach Donadoni——

In this year's European Cup, Macho was once selected for the big list, but he was still not selected for the final list of 23 players.

As a result, Italy stopped in the quarter-finals and was eliminated by Spain in a penalty shootout.

After the loss, in the eyes of the Italian fans, Donadoni was wrong to breathe.

The third place, Leandro Rinaudo, this is a player who has been introduced to enrich the backcourt.

From these three signings and the use of these three players, it can be seen that Naples relies on the Italian gang for defense and the South American gang for offense.

There is no doubt that Li Ze himself is also an offensive player.

In order to get closer to his teammates, he had to take the initiative to find the South American Gang.

Like him, Lavezzi participated in the 08 Olympic Games. The two sides have a common topic. Dennis, like him, was introduced to Naples this season. Naturally, such a player will not have a high status in the team. .

Just when Li Ze had considered the breakthrough, a question came——

"Fight for it, you'd better get the No. 9 jersey!" This is the suggestion of the agent Raymond.

In Naples, the No. 10 jersey that Maradona once wore has now been sealed.

It is obviously quite rare for No. 10 to be sealed as a number that symbolizes the core of the team.

However, considering Maradona's status in Naples, this is also understandable.

Then, after the number 10 fans were gone, among the remaining jersey numbers of Naples, the most precious is undoubtedly the number 9, which symbolizes the core striker.

In the final of the French Cup and in the games of the Olympic team, Li Ze was the team's lone striker.

Although he has been playing the shadow forward position before, in the eyes of more people, his best position is the forward.

Therefore, the No. 9 jersey is naturally the best choice for Li Ze.

Moreover, No. 9 is Ronaldo's iconic number, and Ronaldo has many fans in China.

If he can wear the number 9, it will be very beneficial to Li Ze's image promotion in China.

The problem is that Dennis from Argentina is also a forward. In the warm-up match that Li Ze did not participate in, Dennis performed very well and gave the fans great expectations.

The reason why Naples did not directly hand over the number 9 to Dennis is that Li Ze——

He is also very good as a striker, he won two cups, and he performed very well in the Olympics!
He is a genius, he comes from Huaguo, and he has high commercial value!
The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, which makes the management of Naples a little distressed.

They didn't know who to give this No. 9 jersey for a while.

After Raymond explained the problem, Li Ze began to ponder——

If you really want to please the South American gang, getting the jersey is obviously the right decision, but...

Li Ze was reluctant.

In order to integrate into the team, let him take the initiative to say some good things to please the relationship.

However, it is another matter to be humble and take the initiative to give up the profit, which shows that he thinks he is worse than the other party!
After all, both he and Dennis came in the summer. Under the same conditions, why can't he compete for the No. 9?

Then, the problem Li Ze faces is obvious——

What if you don't offend the South American gang while fighting for No. 9?
Li Ze pondered for a long time on the plane.

If he explained the situation to the Naples high-level, he should be able to get the jersey without showing up.

Anyway, there is the Huaguo market behind him, and the example of Hidetoshi Nakata is in the front. Naples must know who is more beneficial to support.

But after thinking about it carefully, Li Ze gave up this plan——

If he doesn't get ahead of this kind of thing, won't others know that he did it?
Obviously not.

Professional players are all hot-blooded men, and it is not a good choice to do this kind of thing behind the scenes.

Rather, it was precisely because of this kind of behind-the-scenes operation that he was even more embarrassed.

After giving up this approach, Li Ze thought of another method.

He didn't know if it was useful, but this method was definitely better than the previous method.

After getting off the plane, Li Ze found that many Naples fans came to welcome him at the airport, which surprised him a bit.

In fact, leading the team to Ligue [-] and winning two cup championships plus his outstanding performance in the Olympics has already made him famous.

Now, he is even a strong contender for the Golden Boy Award!
Therefore, even if he has not played once for Naples, he still has a certain fan base.

"Thank you for the support of the fans. Naples is a great team. It is my honor to play for such a team!" Li Ze, who was temporarily stopped for an interview, had a smile on his face.

Suddenly, there was a burst of applause from below.

Li Ze can be said to be fluent in Italian, and has initially conquered the reporters and fans present.

　ps: Regarding the opening ceremony, it is indeed not perfect, but it will not become a scandal. Comparing the word-of-mouth of several sessions, I think it is a benchmark.
