Volume 1: When Heroes Come and Go, People Pay Attention. Chapter 8: Recruitment for the New Season (First Update Guaranteed)

Chapter 8 Signings for the new season (first update of guaranteed guarantee)

Teammates who had not seen each other during the holidays returned one after another, and Chen Yingxiong also met his friends Arshavin and Hamsik.

Everyone got together and naturally asked about how they spent their holidays. Some went to the Maldives, some went to Mallorca, some went to the United States, and some returned to their hometowns.

"Hero, what about you?"

Chen Yingxiong smiled and said nothing.

"Come on, stop pretending to be serious and tell me!" Hamsik said.

"I went to Milan..."

"Ugh-" Many people made disdainful sounds from their noses.

"What's so rare about Milan... It won't be your first time going, will it?" Many local Italian players looked at Chen Yingxiong with sympathetic eyes. "We go there at least twice a season. It's such a boring place!"

"It seems that the hero doesn't know enough about Italy... You're not going to go to that isolated ravine this Christmas vacation, are you? Why not stay here and I'll take you to some fun places!"

A group of people showed off their vacation life and sneered at Chen Yingxiong's vacation in Milan. Others enthusiastically invited him to go on vacation with him next holiday, promising to take him to eat, drink and have fun.

Chen Yingxiong just smiled and said nothing. He and Ivanka's little secret would not be known to these vulgar people!

Head coach Mazzarri appeared in front of the players, and everyone gradually became quiet, waiting for their head coach to give a speech for their first day of training.

"I'm so happy to see you again, boys. Obviously, after a holiday, many of you have gained a lot of weight, so the first part of this training, according to the old rules, is still physical fitness. Training. You must return your physical condition to what it was during the season and be ready for the next high-intensity training. This season, we have to fight for qualification for the Champions League, so our preparations are even harder than usual. Morning, it's going to be hard. I hope you are all mentally prepared... This is definitely not a relaxing pre-season training, I am ready to fuck you to death!"

Mazari smiled at everyone.

Mazzarri was in a good mood, because club chairman De Laurentiis kept his promise and began to attack in all directions to recruit players.

While the players are busy finding ways to survive their own strengthening, the club's top brass is undergoing a shake-up. After Marino left, the club's manager position remained vacant. At the end of the season, there was finally a replacement.

De Laurentiis brought a new manager to the team - Ricardo Bigon (riccardo_bigon). The new manager has inextricable ties with Naples. He is the son of Alberto Bigon, the coach who led Naples to their second Serie A championship. It can be regarded as having Neapolitan blood...

Choosing him to replace Marino, who was doing a good job, De Lawrenceti's approach did not arouse too many people's resentment. Instead, they felt that he was sincerely building a new Naples, and was not just messing around just because he had money. alley.

The first thing the new manager did when he took office was to hold a meeting with De Laurentiis and head coach Mazzarri. At the meeting, Mazzarri told the club's president and manager his preparation plan for the new season, and De Laurentiis Thies once again reiterated his support for the team, especially in terms of finances.

Bigang also chaired the team's power structure and future blueprint through this meeting.

Next, he has to follow the list given by Mazzarri and with the funds provided by De Laurentiis, go around the world to search for players who can make Naples strong quickly.

First he needs a defensive midfielder.

As a good friend of Lavezzi and a loyal admirer of Maradona, Gargano is very dissatisfied with the team's abandonment of Lavezzi. This summer, he has been making transfers since the end of the league. Mazzarri's strategy is to sell him if a suitable replacement can be found, and if not, to appease him and keep him for my use.

Mazzarri took a fancy to Hamburg's Dutch midfielder Nigel_de_jong. Originally, Mazzarri couldn't grab this Dutch midfielder. Because at the beginning of this year, Hamburg had already signed an agreement with Manchester City, agreeing to sell De Jong to the new Premier League aristocrat for a transfer fee of 18 million euros.

Unexpectedly, after De Jong went to Manchester City, he was stuck in the physical examination - he failed the physical examination and was returned by Manchester City because of the risk of injury!

This is a great shame for De Jong. He even thought Manchester City was simply playing with him.

Unexpectedly, just after returning to Hamburg, he suffered a serious injury in a game at the end of January. For this reason, he missed almost the remaining half of the Bundesliga season.

In this way, it becomes feasible for Mazzarri to buy him. Players who have suffered serious injuries will generally make teams that are originally interested in him have some concerns, especially midfielders who rely heavily on physical fitness. Moreover, because of this serious injury, Hamburg can no longer open its mouth to those buyers.

So Bigang took the money and went north to Germany. After some negotiations, he finally brought such a strong player to the team for 10 million euros.

His arrival will greatly enhance the team's interception ability in the midfield. As a result, Gargano's position becomes awkward.

His departure was inevitable.

Shortly after De Jong's arrival, Naples announced that Gargano had transferred to Villarreal in La Liga for 8 million euros.

Now that he remains in the team, the only person who cannot deal with Chen Yingxiong is substitute goalkeeper Navarro, but it is obvious that he has lost his ally and has no say in the team's locker room. He is insignificant.

These moves prove that Mazzarri wants to build a new team lineup around Chen Yingxiong as the core.

Since the game is centered around Chen Yingxiong, how can it be possible that the winger is missing?

Mazzarri, who is familiar with Serie A, must first look for a suitable candidate in Serie A. In fact, he already has a target. This time he values ​​Udinese's Alexis Sanchez (alexis_sanchez). This Chilean international who plays for Udinese, although he is still very young, is already a dazzling star in Serie A.

Despite his young age, his net worth is not small.

Udinese has never demonstrated their idea of ​​buying young players at a low price, cultivating them a little and then selling them at a high price, so they put a price tag of 20 million euros on Sanchez. Which club can afford this price can bring him immediately. Udinese's winger.

It's just that this price is a bit high for the still young Sanchez, and it scares away giants such as Manchester United...

Regarding the transfer of Sanchez, Mazzarri may want to take a good look at whether his boss De Laurentiis is really willing to spend money.

So he named Sanchez. Such a wide player who can break through is an outstanding winger embryo.

Now the only person in the team who can be called a winger is Arshavin. Although Hamsik has been a guest player for a long time, after all, his job is still to organize and connect.

De Laurenti handed Mazzarri an answer sheet that satisfied him.

Without saying a word, he paid 20 million euros to buy Sanchez!

Udinese had absolutely no way to refuse such an offer. Although Sanchez was bought by Udinese in the summer of 2006, he only played for the Udinese for one season before switching to another team. But from this transfer, Udinese has made ten times the money - they only spent 2 million euros to buy Sanchez, and now they sell it for 20 million euros.

Udinese did a good business, and many media sighed like this after learning about the transfer situation.

As for Naples... Whether the 20 million is worth the money is still debatable. After all, although Sanchez has amazing talent, he is too young and too thin. It is difficult for such a player to achieve great development in European football. This can be described as a risky investment.

But Aurelio de Lawrenceti didn't care.

Although Sanchez was bought, Mazzarri's efforts did not stop.

The forward position still needs to be strengthened. At the very least, he needs a forward with outstanding abilities. In the future, Naples plans to adopt a 433 formation. By then, there will be three starting forwards all year round, and where are their substitutes? There is only one Sarayeta...this is obviously not normal.

This time, Mazzarri set his sights on the team he once coached...

※ ※ ※

Antonio Cassano (antonio_cassano) is not happy in his current life at Sampdoria.

The reason is simple. The head coach Mazzarri, who valued him very much before and cared about him like a father, left and went to Naples.

This made him feel lonely. In the 2007-08 season, he was loaned to Sampdoria by Real Madrid. That season was also the first season that Mazzarri took office at Sampdoria. Cassano was the place where he advocated the loan. , and asked the boss to spend money to buy out Cassano's ownership after one season.

Under Mazzarri's training, Cassano, who had been half-dead in Real Madrid, regained his vitality. In the first season, he scored ten goals and seven assists. Although there are still things that give Mazzarri a headache from time to time, such as attacking referees, Mazzarri's way of handling this kind of thing is different from the previous head coaches Cassano has encountered - he does not simply and crudely deal with it. Cassano was relegated to the sidelines and punished him with team fines and suspensions. Instead, he sat down and had a good talk with him, enlightened him like a father, comforted him, supported him, and allowed him to realize his mistakes. .

How long has it been since Cassano felt like this?

A long time ago, in Rome, Capello gave him that feeling. He even called Capello his father. Roma captain Totti is like an older brother to him, someone he can rely on.

But later these relationships fell apart. Before leaving Rome, he had already turned against Totti. After going to Real Madrid, his honeymoon with Capello only lasted a very short period of time.

It is really hard to imagine that for such a rebellious player, there are still people who can accept him without reservation, tolerate his bad temper and shortcomings, and constantly tell him: "Antonio, you can still return to the top! Believe me, I will never Liar! You are the best player on the planet. You are just taking a nap now. When you wake up, everyone will be surprised by you. So work hard, Antonio! Don't stop. you can!"

Mazzarri did it, and these are what he said to Cassano.

Under his encouragement and training, Cassano really regained his second youth. He took a salary cut and came to Sampdoria. Unexpectedly, it became the choice for his career recovery.

He even thought that due to his outstanding performance at Sampdoria, he was selected into the national team's squad for the 2008 European Cup.

But all these became memories of the past with the departure of Mazzarri, his loving father and mentor at Sampdoria.

After Mazzarri left, Cassano felt a deep sense of loneliness. He instantly felt that in this Sampdoria, there was no longer a head coach who could understand him. Although the new head coach Gianluca Atzori (gianluca_atzori) continued to entrust Cassano with important tasks, he suddenly lost his way and lost all his form...

Now, rumors about him are rampant.

Many people are speculating that he may leave Sampdoria or that he may sink.

"Look, I said it. You can't give any hope to that Barry boy. All his glory are just short-lived fireworks, and more of them are silence sinking in the darkness." The football critic It was quite poetic, but the meaning was very mean. That is his assertion that Cassano will never be able to return to the top again. He, a talented player, will eventually sink completely because of his flawed personality.

Even Cassano himself felt discouraged and even began to secretly consider hanging up his boots...

But at this time, he received a call from his mentor Mazari.

"Antonio, will you come to Naples?"
