Greenery on the back

Chapter 533 The next opponent is Ronaldo

It is normal for Chu Long to be worried. With the current strength of the Huaguo national team, it is indeed not doing well.

Zhang Yuning, He Xiaoke and others are actually not as good as these young men from the National Youth League...

That is to say, Kuang Zhaolei is quite capable.

Seeing Chu Long's distressed face, Yue Feng patted his chest and said loudly: "A man should spare no effort to serve the country loyally, and he has no regrets about his success. Anyway, I just say a word and do it."

"Okay, if you do it, I'll do it too." Chu Long's blood was agitated by Yue Feng's words, and he instantly turned into a hot-blooded young man in the second grade.

Yue Feng did what he said, as expected, he didn't see a single girl that day.

He spent most of his time sitting cross-legged in the hotel room, using his internal strength of "reducing clouds and fog", and swept away all the fatigue accumulated during the World Youth Championship.

Next, he did not return to China with the Hua Guo team to attend the celebration banquet, but returned to Italy directly.

Now that Yue Feng is in this position, Zheng Zhi and Dong Fatty dare not complain that he is unkind.

In this World Youth Championship, he contributed an unimaginable 13 assists and scored 7 goals. He not only ranked first in the assist list, but also squeezed into the top three in the scorer list. Second to Chulong and Lima.

With this impressive data, Yue Feng won the 2031 World Youth Championship Golden Globe Award without any suspense at the awards ceremony after the final.

At the same time, in helping the team make tactical arrangements, his role as the captain is no less than that of an assistant coach.

The winner is king. As the biggest contributor to the Huaguo team's championship, Yue Feng's refusal to attend the celebration banquet is a manifestation of his strict self-discipline, not a star playing big names.

As long as you are strong enough, all worldly rules will make way for you.

However, after returning to Empoli, Stefano, Luca and others who went to watch the final of the World Youth Championship encouraged head coach Ranocchia to hold a small party for Yue Feng.

During the days when Yue Feng left, Empoli, under the leadership of Luca and Gretzka, did not win all the way, but they continued to maintain the pressure on Benevento, the leader of the list, and are currently only two points behind their opponents. .

Due to the large number of players from various clubs participating in the World Youth Championship, the Italian Football Association has also made some adjustments to the schedule.

Now, there is only the last round of the second division to play, and this game is precisely Empoli's away game to challenge Benevento's top game.

If it is completely a battle for the top spot between these two clubs, it is actually not rigorous.

Brescia, ranked third, also chased all the way in the second half of the league, and is currently on the same score as Empoli.

The same is true for the outcome of the two.Empoli once lost to Brescia away, but at home, they pulled back a game.

In this way, the points and wins and losses of the two are the same, so only the goal difference is compared.

Fortunately, Empoli's firepower is very fierce, currently overwhelming Brescia with a goal difference of 4, ranking second in the Serie B standings.

Moreover, Brescia challenged Palermo, which is equally strong, in the last round. If it wants to overtake Empoli in terms of goal difference, it will be more difficult than reaching the sky.

Therefore, Brescia is only theoretically possible to win the championship, and the actual battle for the top spot is still going on between Empoli and Benevento.

Yue Feng rushed back to Italy in such a hurry because of this matter.

As the saying goes, weaving baskets and weaving baskets is all about ending.

Since he joined Empoli, he has managed to help the team get out of the ups and downs again and again. Now that it is the key battle for the league championship, he must not fail.

Especially Empoli lost to Benevento at home last time. In terms of strength, their opponents are no less than Luca.

Therefore, Yue Feng, who had just returned from Paris, immediately devoted himself to training for Benevento.

Benevento, nicknamed "The Witch", is a small city in southern Italy. It is less than an hour's drive from Naples. It is not too hard for Yue Feng and the others to come here by bus.

The name "witch" comes from the club's team emblem, on which is a silhouette of a witch riding a broom and wearing a pointed hat.

Benevento is also an important place where witches gathered in history. In order to avoid the religious reform, the aborigines who did not want to give up their original beliefs used witches to carry out religious activities and maintain their beliefs.

Therefore, the witch has become the signboard of the whole city, and their team also chose this element as the symbol of the club.

Compared with Empoli, although Benevento has a higher administrative level, it is also a small city with a population of less than [-].

The club is also a small team, and the Cirovigorito Stadium at home can only accommodate 17000 spectators.

But such a small team has often achieved the feat of reaching Serie A in recent years. Even if they are relegated to Serie B, they will soon become newly promoted again.

Benevento attaches great importance to the selection of young coaches and young players. AC Milan star Inzaghi once served as the coach of this club and led the team at that time to the Serie B championship.

This season, Benevento is also playing smoothly. If it weren't for Empoli halfway through, the only obstacle for them to win the championship may be Brescia.

Facing the opponent who just won the Coppa Italia championship, Benevento also made sufficient preparations in advance.They deliberately rotated the main players in the first few rounds to ensure the players' physical reserves.

Ranocchia knew that the away game against Benevento would be a tough one. Before the tactical board, he repeatedly deduced the style of play, but he couldn't make up his mind for a while.

The reason why Benevento can look down upon the heroes of Serie B is that their head coach has two brushes. The familiar face appeared in Ranocchia's mind, and three words popped out of his heart:

Can't beat it.

The opponent's coach is Ranocchia's former Inter Milan teammate, Croatian midfielder Brozovic.

Brozovic, who is five years younger than himself, quickly obtained a coaching certificate after retiring and stayed in Italy as a coach.

This net red player, nicknamed Ronaldo by fans, was once the contributor to Croatia's World Cup runner-up. He is known as a funny entertainer in the football world and a big weirdo on the green field.

But these characteristics are not enough to conceal Brozovic's real football talent. Ranocchia remembers that when he was in Inter Milan, the opponent was the mainstay of the team and the midfield commander of the Nerazzurri.

After becoming a coach, Brozovic not only keeps his funny skills, but also frequently uses strange moves when directing the game. Ranocchia thinks that he is not the opponent of this Ronaldo in terms of tactics alone.

In order to confuse Empoli, Brozovic put on different formations and styles of play in the first few rounds.

This is also a headache for Ranocchia now, he can't guess what his opponent will do in the next round.
