Chen Yingxiong used his best attacking method to blast away Livorno's goal and scored his first goal of the new season. It was really a perfect start...
The commentators were cheering for him, and the Chinese reporters in the media box also breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Yingxiong finally scored...
Although he scored in the second round, it always feels like he hasn't scored for a long time...
※ ※ ※
After knocking Lucarelli and Galante away, Chen Yingxiong pushed the football into the goal. After landing, he opened his arms and ran to the sidelines, then dived suddenly and slid on the turf for a distance.
Then he was surrounded by teammates who ran over and pressed him up.
3:1, Naples can feel at peace again.
Livorno, on the other hand, lost their fighting spirit, because they finally managed to get the score back by one goal, and the opponent scored another goal in the blink of an eye, which meant that all their hard work for a long time was in vain... This really hurt morale. Not to mention that Chen Yingxiong's goal is really impressive, it can boost the morale of Naples and at the same time undermine the opponent's confidence.
When Chen Yingxiong was pulled up from the ground by his teammates, he was still waving his fist to the stands. The tight-fitting macron Napoli jersey perfectly accentuated the muscular lines on his body, highlighting his perfect figure.
The tight jersey wrapped around his muscles, as if he could explode with power at any time, which was very explosive.
"Chen Yingxiong scored his best goal, and his new season has finally begun! As a center, looking at his muscles, fans should know why he has such terrifying impact in the penalty area. Such physical fitness is indeed not something that ordinary defenders can stop!"
The commentator sincerely praised Chen Yingxiong.
Today, Chen Yingxiong is already a second-year student in Serie A. He is no longer the newcomer who debuted in Serie A. At that time, many people had a relatively general understanding of him. They knew that he had scored many goals in the Russian Super League and that he had won the UEFA Cup and was the top scorer. But how good was he? They don't see it with their own eyes many times, and most of the time they can only understand this person from data. This understanding is obviously biased.
But after a season of close observation, Italian reporters, commentators, and even fans have fully understood what kind of striker Chen Yingxiong is and what kind of player he is...
So no one will find it incredible that Chen Yingxiong scored one goal after another in the game.

In the end, judging from the goals of Cassano, Arshavin and Chen Yingxiong, Naples defeated visiting Livorno 3:1 at home, giving the newly promoted team a two-game winless streak.
After the game, what the Naples media paid most attention to was not a single person, but a combination - the Naples Trident.
In this game, the Trident showed a very good state. Each of them scored a goal to help the team win.
This performance also strengthened Mazzarri's confidence in continuing to implement the Trident tactics.
"...The Naples Trident composed of Chen Yingxiong, Cassano and Arshavin shined in this game and proved their power to the world! The cooperation of these three people is quite tacit, even though they are the third Such a combination... Arshavin came to the team during the winter break last season, and Cassano only joined the team this season. Chen Yingxiong is their oldest in public, and he only transferred last season. It's just a joining... Such an offensive combination composed of Naples newcomers has produced a very wonderful chemical reaction..."
"It is said that the three of them often hang out together off the court. I want to say - this is where the tacit understanding comes from. The three of them like to joke, play pranks and tease people when they get together, which may be a surprise to the Naples players. They have a headache, but for Naples fans, they are happy because they can see such an outstanding offensive combination!"
"In the late 1980s and early 1990s, various 'three' offensive combinations were very popular in Serie A. For example, Inter Milan had the 'German Troika', AC Milan had the 'Dutch Three Musketeers', and of course Napoli They also have their own trident combination. In the 1980s, Maradona, Giordano, and Careca formed the terrifying 'magica (the abbreviation of the three people's surnames, which means magic in Italian) Combination'...Now they finally have a new trident combination that pays tribute to the legend! Whether this new trident can reach the heights of its predecessors has yet to be tested in practice, but so far, we have seen hope..."
After the game, head coach Mazzarri was also asked about this combination, especially when reporters compared this trident with the "magic combination" of the Maradona era.
In order to reduce the pressure on his disciples, Mazzarri said that it is too early to compare with the legend, and he does not think this combination can be compared with Maradona, Careca and Giordano. Because "legends can never be copied", but he also said that he is very satisfied with this trident combination.
“That’s what we’ve been working on all summer, and I’m excited to see it pay off.”

After the game against Livorno, there will be a two-week league truce. The league has to make way for the national team competition. Although Naples is not a wealthy club, there are still international players in the team. Arshavin has to fly back to Moscow to report to the Russian national team. Hamsik is the absolute core of Slovakia's unbeatable force, and Zuniga wants to play for Colombia...
It's just that the number of national players is much smaller than that of wealthy teams.
Rich clubs like Inter Milan, AC Milan, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United, Chelsea, etc., whenever there is an international match day, their first-team training bases will become empty.
Naples is different. Even if they leave those countries, they can basically put together a team to continue training...
Chen Yingxiong is definitely a national-level player, but he is helpless because a year ago he held a press conference in front of so many reporters and slapped the Chinese Football Association, so so far he has not received any call from the Chinese Football Association. Regarding team recruitment, the head coach only has the right to make suggestions. The person who really wants to sign the national team roster is Yang Yimin, an official of the Football Association. Yang Yimin and Nan Yong have a good relationship, so... everyone should not embrace hope or fantasize about the day when Chen Yingxiong suddenly appears on the national team roster.
Therefore, although Gao Hongbo expressed his appreciation for Chen Yingxiong many times in interviews, he did not have the power to recruit Chen Yingxiong. Later, perhaps with instructions from Nan Yong and others, he even praised Chen Yingxiong in front of the media. The frequency gradually decreased until he stopped talking completely. From this point, it can be seen that the Chinese Football Association has completely become the plaything of a few big guys. In their one-third of an acre of land, they can do whatever they want without any worries. They also want to use their treatment of Chen Yingxiong to warn other domestic players, telling them, "If you offend us, you will never get good results! Is the top scorer in Serie A awesome? We are still not good!"
Of course, at this point, the Chinese Football Association is under tremendous pressure. Domestically, they have been scolded countless times by the media and fans. Every time the national team matches, there will be some "open-minded" media that start to hype up the story of Chen Yingxiong and the national team. Among them, Shuxi Metropolis Daily from Sichuan can be described as a "vanguard" in this regard. Every time, their royal reporter Zhong Dajun fiercely attacks the Chinese Football Association, criticizing the Football Association for its own selfish interests and personal grievances for treating such an outstanding person. The player is Wuwu, and he is actually not recruited into the team.
"...Chinese football is like this, and these people are still messing around here. They will be punished one day!"
He often said such explosive language, although he also encountered some troubles, but in general - after the Olympic Games, scolding the Chinese Football Association is the least risky activity.
Chen Yingxiong didn't care whether he could join the national team. Not only that, he continued to ridicule and insult the Chinese Football Association during an interview with reporters. He had no intention of restraining himself at all. He seemed to be planning to fight the Chinese Football Association to the end.
"Why didn't I join the national team? I think if I gave hundreds of thousands to each of Nanyong and the others, I would probably join... But I would rather donate to the out-of-school students in the west than give the money to them... Of course I have no evidence that they collect illegal money, because there is no need for evidence. Who in the industry doesn’t know about their stuff! Let me tell you, if they stick their butts up, I will know what they are going to fart!"
It seems that the conflict between him and the Chinese Football Association is gradually deepening. I really don’t know how long it will take to see him put on the national team jersey...

Chen Yingxiong, who has no national team assignments, continues to train in Naples. Although Hamsik and Arshavin are gone, he still has the "bad boy" Cassano beside him.
The two of them share the same affinity and often travel together when they are not training. This is Cassano's first time playing in Naples, but Naples is a city he has come to frequently.
As the third largest city in Italy and the largest city in the south, Naples has famous nightclubs and is a place that no one who likes to have fun will miss. Many Italian players like to come to this city to have fun.
For example, this is the Fiery Rose Nightclub where Chen Yingxiong and Cassano "didn't get to know each other without fighting" last time.
This nightclub is a famous local nightclub in Naples and is also famous in Italy. It is a place that many players love to go to. The girls there have great figures, good looks, open styles and unrestrained personalities. As long as you have the ability, you can find a girl who will rent a house or play with you in the car.
Italians are free-spirited by nature, whether they are men or women. However, from the perspective of Chinese people, it is somewhat incomprehensible. Once, a Chinese female tourist went to the streets of Italy and was touched by an Italian man on her buttocks. When she turned around, she could no longer see the person.
To put it bluntly, this is a hooliganism.
But for Chen Yingxiong and others who are originally gangsters, Italy is really a paradise...
Cassano disagrees.
He was very frowning.
"I said, hero..." Cassano touched Chen Yingxiong's arm.
Chen Yingxiong was looking up and appreciating the pole dance of a striptease not far away with a critical eye and a critical spirit. When Cassano touched him, he withdrew his gaze.
"What's wrong?"
"Can you please don't bring such a vicious girl next time..." Cassano whispered next to Chen Yingxiong. He also glanced at Christine Ka, who was standing next to Chen Yingxiong out of the corner of his eye. Brela.
Chen Yingxiong could only smile bitterly.
He had no idea. As soon as he heard that he was going to such a mixed-race nightclub, Cabrera had to come. Even though Chen Yingxiong hinted that they would do some things that were inconvenient for women to be present, the other party did not give in...
Either bring her here, or just stay at home. When it comes to fighting, Chen Yingxiong really can't beat her... but he has no choice but to "humiliate" and choose to take her to the nightclub, which seems very weird in the eyes of his friends.
As a result, Cassano and his friends were crying. Even if a group of people were wild, they couldn't let go in front of a violent woman with a stern face and a cold face.
So going to the nightclub to drink some wine and watch the striptease is considered their top activity. Like before, who didn’t hold several in his arms? It's not unusual for someone to put his hands on someone when he's drunk.
Not like now...
When the two of them thought of this, they felt that it was so sad to be a man who couldn't even beat a woman!
They all sighed and lowered their heads. Even the wonderful striptease, which caused a group of men in the audience to exclaim and applaud, suddenly lost interest in watching it.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise behind him, attracting everyone's attention.
