Chapter 579: Stealing the Spotlight

On February 14th, the first day of the Chinese lunar calendar and Valentine's Day in Europe, Inter Milan went to Naples, the third largest city in Italy, to challenge the Naples team, which ranked sixth in the league.

Although for Inter Milan, which is far ahead in the standings, such a game is not important, but for Gao Xiaodong and Sneijder, this game is very important.

Sneijder performed very well in the Italian Cup, defeating Juventus and Fiorentina in succession, but in the league, Sneijder did not perform well. He was sent off with a red card in the first game, and then suspended for two games. Now he has just returned from the ban. If you want to replace Gao Xiaodong's core position, you must perform excellently in the game against Naples.

For Gao Xiaodong, this game is also of great significance. This is the Chinese Lunar New Year, the most important festival for Chinese people. In the minds of Chinese people, today is the beginning of the new year.

Gao Xiaodong is very eager to send a New Year's gift to his compatriots on this day.

In addition, the newcomer Sneijder's performance is eye-catching and his strength is amazing. Before the game, the media advocated the Dutchman to take over. Gao Xiaodong performed a hat trick in the last round, which made the media shut up. This time Gao Xiaodong must continue to perform well. Only then can we defeat the biased Italian media.

Regarding the competition between Gao Xiaodong and Sneijder, Mourinho's attitude is very clear. Gao Xiaodong is the core of the team, and Sneijder is the main force of the team. The two can compete and coexist, but they cannot compete viciously.

When Inter Milan arrived in Naples in the morning, there were very few Inter Milan fans who came to pick them up, only two to three hundred people, and there were only a few dozen Chinese fans.

In the past few seasons, Inter Milan has won consecutive championships, and the number and passion of fans have doubled. Every time they go to a game, they are greeted by thousands of people, but Naples is an exception.

Naples is the city with the least immigrants in Italy. Almost all Italians are Italians. Almost all Italians in Naples are fans of Naples. Teams outside of Naples are unlikely to be welcomed by local fans here.

Most of the Chinese fans who came to watch the game were die-hard Fat Man fans, and there were also a few Chinese tourists who were spending the Spring Festival abroad.

Gao Xiaodong's die-hard fans brought Gao Xiaodong roses and a pair of cloth tigers, wishing him prosperity in the Year of the Tiger and finding a tigress as soon as possible.

Seeing that there were only a small number of people coming, Gao Xiaodong also patiently sent autographs and photos to every fan.

When they arrived at the hotel, Mourinho held a short meeting for everyone. The theme of the meeting was to ask the players not to go out casually, because Naples is a city with poor public security and the fans are very passionate. Mourinho was worried that the players would not go out casually. There is trouble outside, especially Balotelli.

In the end, Mourinho hopes that the players will go all out to win three points at the Sao Paulo Stadium, because they have not been able to win here in 13 years.

In the afternoon, when Inter Milan adapted to the venue at the Sao Paulo Stadium, they really felt the "passion" from the Naples fans. Almost all the people who came to watch the training were Naples fans. They kept booing and humiliating the Inter Milan players, especially the high-end players. Xiaodong, because Gao Xiaodong has the title of Chinese Maradona, Maradona is like a god in the hearts of Naples fans. They are very dissatisfied with the nickname Gao Xiaodong, thinking it is an insult to Maradona.

Sneijder is happy to see this situation. Although Gao Xiaodong has comprehensive skills, scores many goals, and has a figure similar to Maradona, Sneijder believes that Gao Xiaodong's football is just brutal and violent, and he is full of imagination and extraordinary. The numb Maradona is incomparable. To say that Gao Xiaodong is Maradona from China is completely flattering Gao Xiaodong and humiliating Maradona.

However, Naples fans did not let go of Sneijder, saying that Sneijder was garbage and could not play in Real Madrid. When he came to Inter Milan, he could not compete with a fake Maradona.

Inter Milan's training at the Sao Paulo Stadium was very uncomfortable. In addition to boos and curses, they also faced threats of violence from fans. Look at the snow falling in the sky. The original 90-minute training only lasted more than 70 minutes.

I hurried back to the hotel.

The experience of adapting to the venue made many players who came to Naples for the first time realize the dangerous environment. In the following time, everyone carefully prepared for the possible snow battle in the evening and strived to win the first time in 13 years at the Sao Paulo Stadium. victory.

At 8:45 pm, when the match between Inter Milan and Naples started, the snow stopped. This was more advantageous for Inter Milan, which was better at ground cooperation. However, in the first minute of the game, Naples midfielder Pazienza was struggling. A rough kick hit Muntari's chest during the ball, making the Inter Milan players realize that it was impossible for them to play a good coordination today.

Referee Rossetti showed no mercy to such a foul and immediately warned Pazienza with a yellow card and gave Inter Milan a free kick.

Gao Xiaodong, who plays as a left midfielder, came to take the free kick.

The ball was in the midfield, about thirty meters away from the goal, but Gao Xiaodong still shot directly. He shot too hard, and the ball flew directly into the stands without being suppressed.

Sneijder was a little dissatisfied with Gao Xiaodong's direct shot. He thought that such a long distance should be a coordination. It would be better for him to pass the ball and Gao Xiaodong to fight for the top instead of rushing to shoot.

"How dare you call me Diego?"

"High! Cum so high!"

"High plane!"

The Naples fans in the stands burst into applause. They were cheering for Gao Xiaodong's masturbation.

The Naples goal kick went directly to the frontcourt. Lucio grabbed the spot and headed the ball towards the midfielder, but he was also knocked to the ground by the opponent's forward.

The ball was grabbed by Naples midfielder Hamsik. He stopped the ball with his chest, picked it over Muntari, and passed the ball to Quagliarella. Quagliarella passed the ball to Hamsik again. Hamsik had already observed the movement of another forward Zuriga in advance, and he kept the ball going straight into Inter Milan's penalty area.

Zuriga accelerated and made a diagonal pass from the side of the penalty area, but Inter Milan goalkeeper Cesar was very focused and he took the lead and took the ball in his arms.

Cesar quickly threw the ball to Zanetti, who then passed it to Gao Xiaodong. Gao Xiaodong quickly broke forward along the wing.

Naples midfielder Gargano flew to tackle diagonally, trying to destroy the ball out of the sideline, but Gao Xiaodong was faster and Gargano did not tackle it. However, Gao Xiaodong's ball was a bit too big, and Naples right back Grava took the lead. Clear the ball with your big feet.

Grava's movements were rough, and he did not close his foot after making a clearance. The kick he kicked went directly into Gao Xiaodong's abdomen.

Fortunately, Gao Xiaodong was still nimble and turned sharply to avoid this devastating kick.

After a back-and-forth scramble for the ball in the middle, it was snatched away by the more aggressive Naples. Hamsik passed it across to Zuriga, who passed it back to Parienza. Muntari kicked Parienza in retaliation. Rienza kicked over and also received a yellow card.

Gargano took a free kick and passed the ball into the penalty area. Zanetti nodded the ball in front of him to clear the ball. The ball fell just at the feet of Hamsik. Hamsik shot a powerful shot from 23 meters away. A big curve ball, the ball bypassed goalkeeper Cesar and went straight to the right corner of the goal.

Just when the Inter Milan fans were desperate, the ball hit the crossbar and bounced out!

The 23-year-old Czech genius Hamsik couldn't help but hide his face and sigh, lamenting his bad luck.

Naples' attack did not end. The ball was obtained by Naples midfielder Aronica. He passed the ball diagonally into the penalty area from the left. Samoel made a mistake with his header. Hamsik caught up with the header and crossed it. Quagliarella He volleyed into the near corner from 8 meters away from the goal, but the ball hit the side netting.

In the first 10 minutes, the Naples people completely took advantage at home and completed a very threatening shot.

Inter Milan did not want to show weakness, and then Gao Xiaodong quickly beat Guevara. Guevara was forced to foul. Gao Xiaodong quickly sent a free kick towards the penalty area to find Milito, but the ball was blocked by Aronica's arm in the penalty area. Gao Xiaodong Xiaodong quickly raised his hand and shouted for a penalty kick, but referee Rossetti ignored it.

Naples took advantage of Inter Milan's request for a penalty kick and launched a quick counterattack. Hamsik made a pass from the left. Dennis jumped in front of Samuel and dived 6 meters in front of the goal. Cesar made a world-class save. , flying to block the ball out of the baseline!

There were sighs and curses from the Naples fans in the stands. They were very dissatisfied with their luck. If they had been lucky, maybe they would have been two goals ahead.

Originally, many people thought this game was a competition between Sneijder and Gao Xiaodong, but unexpectedly it was Napoli's Hamsik who stole the spotlight. His performance was better than that of Gao Xiaodong and Sneijder.

The Naples commentator said with excitement and regret: "Mourinho admires Hamsik very much and thinks that he combines the technical characteristics of the two superstars Lampard and Nedved. Now it seems, haha Msik's role alone is completely comparable to that of Sneijder and Gao Xiaodong."
