Chapter 114 Naples’ Countermeasures (Second update, please vote for me!)

In fact, Chen Yingxiong said that the Bernabeu is a famous tourist destination, and he was right, because Real Madrid, as a world-class giant, has many fans and tourists coming here every day, and they have to spend money to buy tickets to visit, which counts. This is a way for the Real Madrid club to generate revenue.

So in a sense it does feel like a tourist attraction, filled with tourists from all over the world when not playing.

This situation does not exist at Naples' home court, because...if you wander around the San Paolo Stadium in Naples and go in to watch the game without wearing a Naples jersey...you may be attacked by those fanatical fans. Napoli fans regard him as a dangerous person.

From this perspective, the Sao Paulo Stadium is indeed purer than the Bernabeu Stadium...

When Chen Yingxiong said this, he was naturally sarcastic that Real Madrid is no longer a real football club, but more like... a strange synthesis that combines entertainment, business and football.

This may not make sense, but it sounds very useful to the Naples players.

The outside world has been saying that Naples is not as good as Real Madrid. In addition, it is an away game and the game is at the Bernabeu. Naples should be under a lot of pressure.

But the fact is that the Naples team did not feel stressed or overwhelmed because they were going to play against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.

Undeterred by Real Madrid's glorious history, they had it easier than anyone imagined.

Mazzarri knows this very well, so he feels that the quarter-finals are possible.

"Real Madrid looks strong." The next day was the game, and in the evening in the hotel conference room, the Naples team held a tactical meeting. In fact, the main purpose of this tactical meeting is not to lay out tactics, but a mobilization meeting.

Since the team started preparing for this game half a month ago, tactics have been instilled in the players' minds through daily training.

The entire Napoli team knows what they should do when the time comes for the game.

So now there is no need for head coach Mazzarri to talk too much nonsense.

"But they are actually very weak. Why do I say that? First of all, they have not been in the quarter-finals for five years in a row. Guys, what is the concept? A team like Real Madrid cannot reach the top eight for five years in a row. Breaking through the first round of the Champions League knockout round, their total transfer investment in the past five years is probably 500 million, right? The main reason why they have been laughed at over the years is this. So this has become a piece of their hearts. The boulder, which grows heavier every year, accumulates on their hearts.”

"What is the result of this? The result is that the 'UEFA Champions League quarter-finals' has become a psychological burden for them, and it is quite large. Although the Real Madrid people themselves will never admit it, we all know that this is their heartache and they are ashamed to speak out. , a topic that will make them angry when mentioned. And when the psychological burden is big enough, it will affect them in turn. Every time they play in the quarter-finals, old things will be mentioned again. Over time... they begin to They have self-doubt... Yes, don't be surprised, I'm right, they do have self-doubt, but it's still buried deep, maybe they didn't even think of it..."

Mazzarri shook the newspaper in his hand. It was a Spanish newspaper he bought outside the hotel today. He couldn't read Spanish, but it didn't matter, he had a translator.

"Today their left-back Marcelo said that Real Madrid will defeat Napoli at home and then break the curse of Dream Eight. Guys, you see, they are so guilty that they need to keep repeating arrogant lies to strengthen their poor confidence. Got it!"

Mazari shook his fist and clenched the newspaper in his hand.

"This is their home court, yes, but it also doubles the pressure on them. How can they lose at their home court to a team that is participating in the Champions League for the first time in eighteen years? At their home court they not only have to win , but also to win beautifully. The fans at the Bernabeu are very demanding. As long as Real Madrid's performance cannot satisfy them, the sky will be booed. All these make Real Madrid players need a very strong heart to play at their home court... It's a shame not a lot of people can do that. So these are our opportunities, guys."

"Seizing their psychological weaknesses, as long as we can show tenacity beyond their expectations at the beginning of the game, we can successfully shake them... In this game, even if we only take away a draw, we will win, we will Leave the pressure to Real Madrid, and as you all know, our Stadio San Paolo is not a famous tourist destination..."

Everyone laughed, and some people looked at Chen Yingxiong.

"In this game, I will accept a draw or a small loss by one goal. Of course... If everyone insists on bringing a victory back, I will applaud and welcome it. But there is only one result that I will not accept - a 0:0 score. We must score goals, and only if we get away goals will the second leg be more beneficial to us."

Under the guidance of the square formation that pursues away goals as much as possible, Mazzarri's tactics are to play defensive counterattacks in the away game.

Real Madrid must be attacking with all their strength at their home court, because they must win and win well. To do this, they must attack with pressure.

Then it's Naples' chance.

There was another thing that Mazzarri did not say, and that was his doubts about Pellegrini's control over the team. This team is packed with superstars, which is the advantage but also the tragedy of this team. Because compared with those stars and ball tyrants, Pellegrini is too junior and unable to lead such a group of people...

After such careful analysis, Mazzarri felt more and more that although this game was an away game, Naples might actually have an advantage...

In the match between Naples and Real Madrid, the Italian media were worried about Naples. The Spanish media claimed that Real Madrid would break the "Dream Eight" curse now, but overall, the reaction was normal. On the other hand, the Chinese media are all excited and excited. They have found many meanings for this game, some of which even readers find incomprehensible.

For example, "Chen Yingxiong is the first Chinese player to play at the Bernabeu Stadium"... This made them excited, but the onlookers had no idea what to be excited about.

Is playing at the Santiago Bernabeu something to be proud of? Then I don’t know how many people can show off every year - "I also played at the Bernabeu Stadium!" "I go to the Bernabeu Stadium to play every year!"

This may be a kind of extreme inferiority...

Just like a beggar who is proud of being told "go away" by the rich man.

Chen Yingxiong himself showed no excitement at all.

On the eve of the game, his phone kept ringing. They were all calls from reporters who knew his phone number. They wanted to interview him. For example, what was the special feeling about playing against Real Madrid?

Chen Yingxiong was so annoyed by the harassment that he finally turned off his phone.

He couldn't understand why the Chinese reporters were so excited... wasn't it just a Champions League quarter-final? If it's the Champions League final, it's understandable that they would be excited. What's so exciting about an ordinary quarter-final? Now that you are so excited, what should you do next?

He turned over on the bed, listened to the music from his headphones, and gradually fell asleep.

For him, the eve of the Champions League quarter-finals, which excited many fans, was no different from an ordinary match day.

The Santiago Bernabeu Stadium was built by Mr. Santiago Bernabeu, the legendary chairman in the history of Real Madrid Club. This stadium later became the symbol of Real Madrid Club. The media is always used to promoting this - Real Madrid's white warriors will have infinite power in this great stadium, which is undoubtedly hell for visiting teams!

But when Chen Yingxiong walked into this legendary stadium, he felt...that's all.

Yes, although the Bernabeu Stadium was full of people, he could not see many neat white areas at a glance. More Real Madrid fans were dressed casually. They just wore a Real Madrid scarf around their necks. And in creating a home atmosphere, they are far behind Naples' fanatical fans.

If this were at the Sao Paulo Stadium, I'm afraid that from the moment the players started to warm up, they would be able to hear the shouts and songs of Naples fans, see the blue smoke from the burning blue flares, and see the blue smoke from the stands. Throwing down white paper tape.

That scene was truly shocking.

The atmosphere at the Bernabeu Stadium seemed to Chen Yingxiong to be lukewarm, with no sense of oppression at all.

In this case, there is no need to pay attention to it.

He turned his attention away from the stands and concentrated on warming up.

He felt that compared with the unreasonable fans of Naples, the fans of Real Madrid were simply too gentle!

Are the teams aristocrats and the fans also aristocrats? Not enthusiastic at all... Could the media be lying?

Chen Yingxiong, who has never experienced El Clasico on the spot, cannot figure out this problem.

After a brief exchange of greetings with his Real Madrid teammates on the sidelines, Cassano came up. He touched Chen Yingxiong's arm: "Hey, hero. How do you feel at the Bernabeu? Isn't it magnificent?"

Chen Yingxiong curled his lips, snorted from his nose, and said in a very disdainful tone: "Compared to the St. Paul Stadium, it is really weak!"

Cassano laughed: "Hahahaha!"
