Volume 1: When Heroes Come and Go, People Pay Attention. Chapter 83 I Can Lose Anything, but I Can Never Lose Momentum! (Fourth Update, Monthly Pass!)
Chapter 83 I can lose anything, but I can never lose my momentum! (Fourth update, monthly pass!)
"Naples had really bad luck in the first half. Svensson made several key calls that caused controversy. Let's take a look at these controversial calls... The first is Cassano's goal. Was it offside? From slow motion From the looks of it, there is no offside. He was still half a body away before Hamsik passed the ball...so this was a misjudgment. However, considering the rapidly changing situation on the scene, it is really difficult to judge whether it is offside or not. We are Judging through slow motion... It is not easy for the linesman to judge whether it is offside at the first time..."
"So what about the second goal? Tulalang's tackle from behind is even more difficult to say. You want to say he fouled, he did foul because he knocked down De Jong. But you want to say he didn't. It's a foul, there's a reason for it, because he scooped the ball..."
"The last thing was this suspected penalty kick. Chen Yingxiong's long shot hit Chris on the arm, but Chris said that the football hit his chest. The referee's angle may not be very good and he couldn't see clearly, so he chose Trust Chris..."
"In general, these three penalties seem to have problems, and they all seem to be OK, so this is a controversial penalty..."
After all, the commentator is a mouthpiece, and some words cannot be taken carelessly, so he can only make peace with them.
But the Italian reporters in the stands all sneered.
Some people are already thinking about how they will write articles against Platini and UEFA if Napoli loses after the game.
"This is so naked!"
"There is no need for even the most basic cover-up. Platini is so arrogant! Does he think that no one in Europe can pose a threat to him?"
"Platini is indeed Lyon's biological father! He is so protective!"
A group of reporters gathered together to ridicule. The Italians were so frustrated in the first half. Forty-five minutes, the referee almost never made a penalty towards Naples...
Obviously, Napoli's players were affected by this unfair penalty. So Italian and Chinese reporters were very worried about the team's performance in the second half.
Some people are even discussing a way out for them.
"I think... if it is really force majeure, if you lose, you will lose. The second place in the group will be the second place in the group. It does not mean that the second place in the group will definitely draw those super strong teams. It is always a matter of probability. Now Naples should control the players' anger. If I were Mazzarri, I would pour cold water on them during the halftime break and let them calm down. No matter what the referee decides, just ignore it, play your own ball well, and reduce arguments with the referee. number of times, so as not to take the initiative to find cards. The most important thing for Naples at the moment is not to reduce the number of players through non-combat. If they directly miss the top 16 games because of a moment of excitement, a red card or something, then the gain will outweigh the loss. We all know The thickness of Naples’ bench is not that great…”
Thinking and analyzing from a calm perspective, this is the only right thing to do at the moment.
But doesn’t it depend on that tone of voice to survive? You don’t have to fight for anything, but you always have to fight for it, right?

"This is a conspiracy! This is a naked conspiracy! Damn it!" In the Naples locker room, Cassano was smashing water bottles frantically and yelling curses. "That referee is obviously a piece of shit! Shit! Idiot! Idiot!! It's so disgusting!"
He had a good goal disallowed in the first half, causing the team to fall behind. He ran to the referee to protest and almost got a yellow card. If it weren't for his teammates' quick eyesight and quick hands... Now that he's back in the locker room, he can finally I have vented my dissatisfaction, and there is no need to worry that the referee will chase him into the Naples locker room.
"Alas..." Someone sighed.
They are not fools. Judging from the referee's performance in the first half and contacting Platini's pre-match statements, they know more or less what is going on. Lyon must defeat them at home to qualify for the group in the safest way.
so……
The enemy is very powerful, but as long as it is an enemy on the football field, no matter how powerful it is, they are not afraid.
But now, this enemy is not on the football field, and is not on the same level as Naples at all, which makes Naples players suddenly feel powerless.
This kind of depression is like an infectious disease. Once one person expresses it, more people will join in, and sighs will come and go. For a moment, an awkward and desperate silence fell in the locker room.
Mazzarri pushed the door open, and the aura of despair hit his face, and even made him feel that he was in the wrong place - Naples had never shown such emotions before, and no matter how powerful the enemy was, they were never so desperate. and helpless.
He understood that because this opponent was not something they could defeat, it was an enemy on another level...
But there is always something to say. If you count the head coach yourself, why should you sigh with the players?
Just when he opened his mouth and was about to make a sound, a message suddenly sounded.
"I said you are here sighing and drying your hair?!"
Everyone raised their heads in surprise and looked at the speaker... Chen Yingxiong.
He stood up and waved his fist to his teammates: "What's there to be afraid of? Isn't it just two goals behind?"
"It's not as simple as being behind by two goals, hero!" Hamsik said helplessly in the first half because he argued with the referee in an aggressive tone and received a yellow card late.
"I know, I know, our opponent is the father of Lyon. But so what? No matter how good he is, he can't come down to compete with us. Offside kicks are controversial, then we will score a few uncontroversial ones and let them use them. Even a magnifying glass cannot pick out the problematic ball!" Chen Yingxiong said, shaking his fist.
"Anyway, I just won't sigh at this time! Let me tell you, I... I can lose anything, but I can never lose my momentum!" Chen Yingxiong's words were like thunder on the ground, exploding above everyone's heads.
"I don't care what you do in the second half, but I will keep looking for goals in the second half! What about Platini? The president of UEFA is a piece of shit! Even if it's just me, I'll fight him to the end! Damn it!" I don’t care whose biological father he is, fuck!” When Chen Yingxiong thought of the humiliation the team suffered in the first half and the indifferent expression on his face when he finally went to the referee to complain and protest, he became extremely unhappy and filled with anger. Catharsis, running around in the chest, trying to find a way to vent it out.
He even wished that the second half of the game started now so that he could go out and kill the enemy and give Platini one slap after another with a big mouth.
"Yes! Hero, you are so damn right!" Cassano also jumped out. He had been unhappy for a long time. Seeing that he had a comrade, he was also greatly encouraged. "I'm not afraid of Platini! I want to fight them to the death! That old bastard!"
Mazzarri had been listening quietly. When he heard Chen Yingxiong's words: "I can lose anything, but I can never lose my momentum!", he was suddenly deeply touched.
He felt that he was not even as good as his players... As a head coach, how could he have such a pessimistic mood?
He clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention to himself.
"The hero is right, guys. At first I was thinking... If it doesn't work out, we'll just lose. Anyway, we've already qualified early. But now... hell, I changed my mind!" He spread his hands, " We must win this game, we must win! Some people don’t want us to win, so we have to win! Win and show them how stupid it is to try to take advantage of us!"
Seeing what the head coach said, the players who had been downcast before raised their heads one by one, with thoughtful expressions on their faces.
The atmosphere in the locker room is gradually returning to normal.
"In the final analysis, this is also a game, and things must be done according to the rules of the football game. I can't say that the UEFA president has done anything bad, but he can't just come down and interfere in the game, right? So... we have to This is treated as a normal game. If our performance is indisputable, then how can there be room for those controversial calls to survive? Therefore, the key to the problem is - our own performance must be indisputable, and do not give those Those who are deliberately looking for trouble will have a chance to use our strong strength to achieve an upright and undisputed victory!"

In distant Liverpool, England, the electronic display at Anfield Stadium is showing the score of the game so far.
0:0.
Liverpool and Zenit St. Petersburg were locked in a battle.
Denisov and the others had entered the locker room and heard the coaches say to them: "Lyon is ahead, still two goals ahead..."
For a moment, the locker room became a little silent.
What does this result mean? This means that no matter how Zenit St. Petersburg plays against Liverpool, they will be eliminated.
Lyon won and they were first in the group, while Napoli became second in the group, and then Zenit went to play in the UEFA Cup...
Many people suddenly felt discouraged. They struggled to support Liverpool's offense in the first half without conceding a goal. What is the belief that supports them? Is it the belief that Naples has the strength to compete with Lyon even if it is an away game? So as long as Lyon loses to Naples and they beat Liverpool, they can overtake Lyon and finish second in the group. The team qualified.
Now who would have thought that in the first half, Naples would fall behind by two goals to Lyon.
"This... is impossible..." Denisov was stunned for a moment when he heard the news, and he murmured.
He felt that Naples, which had Chen Yingxiong and Arshavin, could not lose so easily even if they were on the road, falling behind by two goals in the first half...
What happened to Hero and Shava... What problems did their team encounter?
Instead of worrying about the fate of his team, he became worried about Napoli.
Because he knows that if Lyon wins, no matter how Zenit St. Petersburg and Liverpool fight here, they will not be able to change their fate.
