Volume 1: Males Come and Go, People Pay Attention Chapter 32 I Want to Apologize to You (Guaranteed Second Update, Please Vote for Me!)

Chapter 32 I want to apologize to you (Second update guaranteed, please vote for me!)

Chen Yingxiong is not the kind of player who can decide the outcome of a game by himself, so if the whole team performs poorly, he will naturally be affected by it and his performance will be sluggish.

He needs a steady stream of cannonballs delivered to him by the midfield so that his power can be unleashed. Otherwise, he will just be a wall in the frontcourt, passing passes to his teammates...

Shot? The chances are slim.

The England commentator was surprised that he didn't play, but in fact he was laughing at his poor performance.

The whole team performed poorly, so it was normal for Liverpool to lead by one goal in the first half.

"Fernando Torres!!"

The live broadcast was chanting the name of the goal scorer.

Huge cheers erupted from the Anfield stands.

Torres, who scored the goal, knelt on his knees and slid down the sidelines, looking very cool.

"The Spanish golden boy opened the scoring for Liverpool! Only twenty minutes into the first half, Liverpool took the lead. What a perfect start!"

"Facing Liverpool, Napoli were like primary school students. They had no experience and performed poorly!"

"Torres taught Chen Yingxiong a good lesson. Both of them are centers, but it is obvious that Torres is much better than Chen Yingxiong!"

"Actually, Chen Yingxiong has worked very hard. Just like what he said before the game, he went all out and showed no mercy... But everyone has seen that it's just that if he goes all out, haha!"

The commentator on Liverpool Radio did his best to laugh at Chen Yingxiong.

His only regret was that Chen Yingxiong couldn't hear the ridicule, otherwise it would be more interesting.

Mazzarri stood on the sidelines and kept yelling to the court.

"Cassano! Cassano! Run, run! Don't be lazy!"

"Ma Qiao! Pay attention to their flanks. They want to hit you from behind. When they press on you, you must defend in time!"

"Cannavaro! Be more tidy when making offside calls!"

The way he keeps issuing instructions will only make people think that he is in a hurry.

He was really anxious.

The team had a bad start. They played away from home in the first group match. In addition, the players thought too much before the game and were so excited that they were confused when they came on the court and completely forgot about their tactical arrangements. How could this happen? OK?

As a football coach, unlike basketball, you can't call a timeout at any time, call the players down, comfort them, or give them a heads-up.

All he could do was yell from the sidelines.

So football coaches can’t do well if their voices are low...

What's more, you have to contend with the singing of those fanatical fans at Anfield, a famous Premier League stadium.

"...Through the wind, through the rain, your dreams may be shattered, but move forward with the hope in your heart... You will never walk alone! You will never walk alone!"

The singing started again.

Liverpool fans cheer for the team by singing team songs, cheering for the team, and at the same time causing trouble for their opponents.

Although our singing did not sound powerful at all, tens of thousands of people shouted in unison, and it was still loud enough to shake the world. Moreover, this is a special song that belongs to Liverpool. As long as you hear this melody, you will know that your opponent is the great Liverpool!

Although Liverpool's performance in recent years has been average, and there is a faint tendency to be squeezed out of the traditional top four in the Premier League, Liverpool fans are very excited!

A mere Naples from southern Italy wants to compete with our Liverpool?

Get out of here!

Liverpool did not take advantage of the goal to attack fiercely, but controlled the rhythm, eroding Naples' fighting spirit and confidence little by little.

After Benitez, a Spanish coach, came, he also brought Spanish elements to Liverpool. For example, Spanish players such as Xabi Alonso, Fernando Torres, Albert_riera, and Jose_manuel_reina successively voted. But the Spanish element is not only reflected in the players. In terms of tactics, Liverpool has gradually adopted a Spanish style. They are more particular about controlling the ball, especially in the midfield with a metronome like Xavi Alonso who controls the rhythm. Liverpool controlled the tempo in midfield better than before.

Although Liverpool still suffers from giants such as Manchester United in the Premier League, they are still comfortable and confident in beating their junior brother Napoli in the Champions League group stage.

Until the end of the first half, Naples did not organize any decent offensive. At first, they were tired of their own random thoughts, and later they were subject to Liverpool's ball control tactics, which made the game a little uncomfortable.

Every Naples player who comes off the field knows that what awaits them at halftime is definitely not the smile of the head coach.

This first half was terrible, even worse than the first half against Genoa, and they all know this. If Liverpool hadn't deliberately slowed down the pace, I'm afraid more goals would have been lost...

On the contrary, the Liverpool players next to them had normal expressions when they came off the field, and they did not appear inexplicably excited about taking a one-goal lead. It really shows the true nature of a veteran team, calm and measured, worthy of a team that often participates in the Champions League.

The players thought it was normal to lead Napoli by one goal, but the fans in the stands were happy. No matter what, a lead is a lead. If you lead in the first half, you can hope to win the game. Who doesn’t want to go further in the Champions League? A good start in the first game will be good for the next few games.

They sang, waved and clapped in the stands. The louder the noise, the better.

But in the Napoli dressing room, it seemed dull.

Mazzarri didn't speak, just stood in front of the tactical board, with his back to the players, staring at the tactical board in trance.

A group of players don't know what the head coach is doing. Is he thinking about the problem or is he angry with them?

So there was this awkward silence in the locker room.

Mazzarri is indeed thinking about how to break Liverpool.

After taking a one-goal lead in the first half, Liverpool began to control the ball. Obviously, this is because he has seen the defensive counterattack he plans to use in the away game, so he gets the players into the state in advance. Once they shrink their control, it will be difficult for him to defend and counterattack... because there is no space!

He had not originally planned to use Chen Yingxiong as the main attacking point in this game, or rather as the only main attacking point. While he is scoring himself, he has a lot of energy to use to help the team attack. In other words, he is the fulcrum of the frontcourt offense. He has to help other teammates, pass them to them, and create opportunities for them to score goals. Opportunities, sometimes he has to attract the attention of defenders and sacrifice his own scoring opportunities to create scoring opportunities for his teammates.

As a result, Chen Yingxiong's performance is naturally not much better... because he is not good at doing this kind of work, and deep down in his heart, he subconsciously resists this kind of thing.

He thinks that the center should be a weapon to attack the city and use it as a wedding dress for others? Just waste it...

If the opponent shrinks their defense and controls the ball, what should you do?

That’s not to say that Russia cannot control the ball. Hamsik is not hot enough, and he is still worse than Alonso. The most important thing is that the momentum of Naples football is not the kind of controlling the football and slowly advancing, and then looking for openings. . They have an indomitable momentum, like a pack of wild wolves that cannot be tied down...

Mazari's eyes lit up.

※ ※ ※

The Naples players looked at each other in confusion, wondering what the head coach meant by always showing him the back.

Is it cool?

I've never done this before...

However, Mazzarri has already established his authority in the locker room. The two biggest thorns in the locker room, Chen Yingxiong and Cassano, both listen to him, and the others are speechless.

So although everyone was surprised, no one showed any impatience.

The person who was secretly worried was not the players, but Naples assistant coach Viviani. I thought to myself, why is this Mazzarri pretending to be so profound? The intermission is only fifteen minutes, and one-third of it has passed. If you don’t say something, the intermission will be wasted...

At this moment, Mazari turned around.

Everyone was observing the expression on the head coach's face, wanting to see how angry the head coach was to show his back to everyone for so long.

But Mazzarri said with all sincerity that the whole room was shocked: "I have to apologize to you, guys."

Everyone was shocked.

Everyone knew what their performance was like in the first half. They couldn't find any rhythm on the court. They were divided and surrounded by Liverpool and became a mess. If it hadn't been for luck, the defeat would have been decided by this time.

I thought that during a long break, I would definitely be scolded by the head coach.

No one knows better than them who Mazzarri is. This head coach wears a pair of silver-rimmed eyes and looks very elegant. When directing the game from the sidelines, he always wears suits and ties and is meticulous.

But in fact, this elegant-looking head coach has a very wild heart. He often scolds loudly during training, and swearing is not uncommon for him. When facing a strong opponent, he It will also be very tough. He is by no means a weak person to be bullied.

Anyway, I'm used to being scolded, and the head coach's scoldings are correct. Moreover, under his leadership, the team finished third in the league and qualified for the Champions League. This head coach really needs to be better. Even Hamsik, who once had conflicts with Rhea's head coach, was submissive to Mazzarri.

So the players were mentally prepared to withstand the manager's angry hair dryer.

Unexpectedly, the head coach opened his mouth to apologize to them. What kind of apology was this?

Is there anything the head coach didn't do right?

A group of people didn't understand.

Viviani felt even more confused.

It's not that it has never happened before for a head coach to get money from his players, but this has never happened since Mazzarri coached Naples. Mazzarri is actually a proud and arrogant person, and he cannot do such a thing as easily apologizing.

Mazzarri looked at the surprised people in the room, nodded, and repeated: "Yes, I want to apologize to you."
