i don't want to be king

Chapter 293 0 Even Lose!
Jardim eventually changed his mind and took Li Liang and Bernardo Silva with him to Italy.

Falcao's detailed examination results let everyone breathe a sigh of relief. The muscle strain on the back of the left thigh is expected to take about 4 weeks to recover.

All the main players got a rare vacation, and the Monaco team, which is dominated by substitute players, came to the famous San Paolo Stadium in Naples.

As soon as he returned to the motherland, the fitness coach Spignoli proudly introduced to everyone along the way——

Naples' home stadium is the famous San Paolo Stadium, built in 1959.

It was then extensively remodeled in 1989 and four matches were held here during the 1990 World Cup.

The San Paolo Stadium was almost renamed the Maradona Stadium to commemorate the many great honors that the "ball king" helped Naples achieve.

It is also the third largest football stadium in Italy by capacity, after San Siro and Stadio Olimpico.

——The game was played in the evening local time. There were not many fans watching the game in the stands of the huge stadium, about 6000 to [-] people were a little deserted.

Coming to this "sacred place" in the hearts of many fans, Li Liang, who was ranked in the starting lineup, was full of awe.

Because all professional players, amateur players and fans all know the man who created a fabulous and brilliant record in Naples——

In July 1984, "Ball King" Diego Maradona joined Naples with a record transfer fee of US$7 million that year.

In the first season, Maradona scored 14 goals, and Naples ranked eighth. In the second season, he scored another 11 goals, and the team entered the top three.

In the third season, Maradona led the team to be crowned the Serie A champion for the first time in history. Naples went from a relegation underdog to the star-studded Serie A known as the "Little World Cup" at the time. He won the championship in three years. It has given the club an amazing qualitative change.

1987 Coppa Italia champion, 1989 UEFA Cup (now UEFA Cup) champion, 1990nd Serie A champion in 2.

In the same year, Maradona also led Naples to a 5-1 victory over Juventus and won the Italian Super Cup.

Although Maradona had already retired when Li Liang fell in love with football, and there were many negative news, but after watching a Maradona feature film on the sports channel, Li Liang was completely overwhelmed.

……

Several players in the visiting team's locker room were quietly discussing: "It seems that the main players of Naples are here!"

"We are the main force, maybe it won't work, right?
Naples is now a regular visitor to the Champions League! "

Players from both sides were ready to play in the player tunnel, and Li Liang, who had done his homework, recognized all the Naples stars.

Among them, the small No. 14 Belgian midfielder Dries Mertens is the most eye-catching. He has been talking and laughing with his teammates in English and French.

Li Liang also recognized the deep-eyed, seemingly taciturn Spanish winger Jose Callejon.

The most eye-catching thing is to keep a tall mohawk tattooed on the arms, which looks more like the captain of a rock star-Slovak star Marek Hamsik.

In the pre-match tactical class, Caldeira emphasized that the Naples team scored 38 goals in 80 rounds last season. The offensive power is amazing.

In particular, the Argentine forward Gonzalo Higuain, who was transferred from Naples to Juventus at a record price of 9000 million euros, broke the personal scoring record in a single season in Serie A for 36 years with an astonishing 66 goals last season.

In today's warm-up match, Naples' three main players, Hamsik, Mertens and Callejon, all started. Li Liang knew that he had met a real master.

Players from both sides began to enter the field. Next to Li Liang was the No. 26 central defender of Naples, Kalidou Koulibaly, a Senegalese with a height of 1 meters.

Coulibaly, who looked like a black iron tower, walked past him expressionlessly, and Li Liang had to look up at him.

The game is about to start. Monaco has sent a full substitute lineup, of which only Li Liang participated in the last game against Fenerbahce.

Napoli coach Maurizio Sarri looked at Monaco's starting XI and shrugged his shoulders to his assistant Fabio Pezia: "What do you think?"

Pezia let out a disdainful laugh: "At least 3 to 0!"

Surrey was furious: "I'm XX! What are you talking about?!

Only 3:0 against Monaco? !Tell these guys if we end the game with a goal difference of less than 4 we will start extra training tomorrow!
Give them a day off if they can score 5 goals! "

On the bench of Monaco, Caldeira looked at the Naples lineup on the field, and asked Jardim in frustration: "Leonardo, is this really good?

They are the main lineup!

Can we hold out for 20 minutes! ? "

Jardim spread his hands: "Nelson, counting this game, we will play 20 games in the next 6 days!
-Guingamp, Villarreal, Nantes, Villarreal again, and then Paris Saint-Germain!

I have to keep some more in the lads' gas tanks! "

Caldeira shook his head: "Why did you bring Li here? And let him start?"

Jardim looked at Li Liang on the field: "Li is still a half-finished product, he still has a lot to learn!

Naples is a real powerhouse, which can just help him see himself better! "

The game was about to start. Naples' assistant coach Pezia stood on the sidelines and waved to Mertens. After whispering a few words, Mertens' eyes widened!

He returned to the center circle and said to center Manolo Gabbiadini: "Manolo...

They just told me that whoever scored the most goals in this game will start the league! "

Gabbiadini's eyes lit up: "Is this true, Dries?

Are you lying to me again? "

Mertens is a well-known "funny" in the team. He has teased everyone, even the head coach Sarri.

Mertens looked serious: "Don't worry Marono, if you can score a few more goals, you will definitely appear in the first round of the starting lineup. I guarantee it on my reputation!"

Gabbiadini looked up to the sky and laughed: "Come on!
I can not wait anymore! "
