Chapter 122 Meng Ba (first update, please vote for me!)
Real Madrid is not a new opponent of Naples, because the two teams have played against each other once in history. It was the first time Naples participated in the Champions League. In the first round of the European Champions League, they met the Spanish hegemon Real Madrid.
It was still the European Champions League, not the Champions League. There is no group stage, but it starts directly with home and away knockout matches.
This is the most pity.
There were many rumors later, one of which was that it was this game that gave birth to the UEFA Champions League.
At that time, both sides of this game were famous and strong teams. Naples has just won the Serie A championship and has the reigning football champion Maradona. Real Madrid has five eagles and has created an era of five consecutive championships in La Liga.
It is indeed a pity that two strong teams met in the first round.
In the end, Maradona's Napoli could not compete with Real Madrid and were eliminated in the first round.
It is rumored that this game caused huge controversy, and the entire Europe was discussing the introduction of group stage leagues to prevent strong teams from meeting prematurely, which directly promoted the birth of the Champions League.
But no one knows whether this rumor is true or false. The UEFA Champions League was born in the 1992-1993 season, but the two Champions League games between Naples and Real Madrid took place in the 1987-1988 season.
The total score in those two games was 3:1, with Napoli's only goal coming at the Stadio San Paolo.
The atmosphere at that San Paolo stadium left a very deep impression on the Real Madrid players.
The entire stand was filled with blue, yellow and green smoke. When Napoli scored, the entire San Paolo Stadium erupted in cheers that made them think Vesuvius had erupted.
Of course, there is absolutely no player in this Real Madrid team who has experienced that game, but those players who have been Real Madrid fans since childhood will definitely know this game.
So when they stepped onto the Sao Paulo Stadium and heard the singing and shouting in the sky, some of them seemed to have returned to their childhood. At that time, they could only watch the game in front of the TV.
Today, they were personally in the Sao Paulo Stadium and felt the enthusiasm of the Naples fans.

Kaká was on the bench in this game, and it was Raul who started him. When Real Madrid is in crisis, Pellegrini has to rely on the spirit of a leader to inspire the team.
But it is a pity that Raul's position is still a wide midfielder that keeps him away from the penalty area.
From the first minute of the game, Naples fans kept chanting "Mengpachi! Mengpachi! Mengpachi!" to stimulate the Real Madrid players, interfere with them, and put more pressure on them.
Not to mention this trick is quite effective...
Real Madrid, which lost the game at home, was already under a lot of pressure. Under the uninterrupted roar of the Naples fans, their body felt like it was made of lead.
Mazzarri watched Real Madrid's performance from the sidelines and shook his head.
This Real Madrid is considered a wealthy team at best, but is worse than a weak team at worst - their psychological quality is too poor. When you encounter some difficulties, you don’t know what to do. Baibai has a group of players with strong combat effectiveness, but they can't knead them into shape.
In the suffocating atmosphere of the Sao Paulo Stadium, Real Madrid's performance was really bad. The players frequently lost the ball and seemed a little overwhelmed. The offense and defense were completely separated. The offensive players only attacked and did not return to defense at all. Players did not dare to press easily due to defensive pressure, resulting in a lack of hierarchy and support in the offense.
The consequence of this was that Napoli scored in the 29th minute of the game...
※ ※ ※
"Andrei Arshavin——!!"
The commentator raised his arms and shouted.
But his shouts were completely drowned out by the cheers of the San Paolo Stadium.
All the Napoli fans jumped up from their seats, raised their arms and roared to the sky.
The stands at the Stadio San Paolo seemed to be pulsing.
Under the crazy stands, Napoli players wearing blue jerseys were hugging and celebrating.
They took the lead at home, and the total score became 3:1, getting closer to the quarterfinals!
On Real Madrid's side, Casillas seemed very helpless. He spread his hands and complained.
Even captain Raul looked confused, and his confused eyes made people heartbroken...
Why did the once wealthy family fall to this level?
※ ※ ※
"Real Madrid fell behind again. They trailed Naples 0:1 in the away game... It's really ironic. Real Madrid, which has won the Champions League nine times, is now struggling for a place in the top eight..."
"There is a saying that there is no falsehood in the reputation, but this sentence does not apply to Real Madrid. They bear the name of a super wealthy club, but they perform so badly. In my opinion, the psychology of Real Madrid players is collapsing little by little. Psychological pressure It’s too big…”
"...A group of superstars came together, but they did not display their due abilities. They did not even reach the level of one plus one equals two. I have to say that this is no longer the reason for the low strength of the players. I think on the one hand There are reasons for the head coach, and on the other hand there are reasons for the club’s senior management. Maybe Florentino should think carefully about whether what he needs is a star or something else..."
"Okay, now I'm sure that Pellegrini's time at Real Madrid is over. Maybe we won't have to wait until this season to see the news of his dismissal..."
The commentator never misses the opportunity to "beat the drowned dog".
For those Real Madrid fans, these words stung their hearts. There is nothing more painful than seeing your beloved team fall into a cold hell without knowing where the hope is...
※ ※ ※
Some people are in pain, and of course some people are happy.
Naples fans were waving their arms in the stands, singing and dancing. Although the first half was not even over, they all believed that Naples had already won. This Real Madrid team cannot threaten them at all.
In fact, this is also true. After the game restarted, Real Madrid still failed to find the rhythm and state of the game, and its performance was as bad as ever. It’s absolutely no different from the last game.
Before the game, the media conveyed the message to the outside world that Real Madrid came to the away game with the determination to fight to the death, but in fact, they performed in a mess during the game.
"Real Madrid's problem is no longer a football problem..."
The Spanish TV commentator sighed helplessly. As a Madrid native, it is really sad to see that the pride of Spanish football has now been reduced to a role that is bullied by everyone. But there is nothing I can do.
※ ※ ※
The first half ended with a goal from Naples and a score of 1:0. After a short fifteen-minute intermission, the two sides changed sides in the second half.
The situation at Real Madrid still hasn't improved.
Napoli was still attacking, and amid the cheers of the Sao Paulo Stadium, they launched wave after wave of attacks towards Real Madrid's goal.
Unfortunately, they failed to score either. Chen Yingxiong had a shot that bypassed Casillas, but also bypassed the goal post and went out.
Of course, Real Madrid also had a great opportunity, but Benzema missed the ball that was close at hand...
In the end, neither side scored any more goals. Naples defeated Real Madrid 1:0 at home with a total score of 3:1 and entered the quarterfinals!
"The game is over! The game is over... Real Madrid has missed the Champions League quarter-finals for the sixth consecutive year! This is really... not surprising at all!"
"Real Madrid can confirm that it has changed its name to 'Dream Team'!"
"What a shameful exit!"
Amid criticism and jeers from commentators, Real Madrid withdrew from the Champions League this season. Although this season's Champions League final is held at the Bernabeu, they had previously imagined that they could win the tenth Champions League trophy in the club's history at their home court.
All these are now in vain.
And the Napoli players were celebrating crazily!
"Congratulations to Naples! Congratulations to Naples! They broke into the quarterfinals of the Champions League! They created the best results in the club's history! This time, in terms of Champions League results alone, they finally surpassed the Maradona era (Author's note: Before I It is wrong to say that Naples in the Maradona era failed to reach the second stage of the competition. The best result of Naples in the Maradona era was the second round of the Champions League. In the 1991-92 season, they reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Lost to CSKA Moscow and missed the quarterfinals, this is corrected)!"
the Italian commentator loudly announced.
"This is a Napoli team that is even better than the one in the era of the King of Football! They have created results that even Maradona could not achieve! Moreover, they were eliminated by super giants like Real Madrid! Today's Naples finally repays It ended the 1987-88 season... What a coincidence, the total score of the two teams at that time was also 3:1!"
When the final whistle sounded, the Sao Paulo Stadium was filled with excitement. All the fans stood up from their seats, waving their arms and singing loudly.
The entire San Paolo Stadium seemed to be shaking.
The commentators are right, this is an achievement that Maradona has never created, so they have absolutely enough reasons to celebrate wildly.
"Quarterfinals! Quarterfinals! Quarterfinals!" Naples fans refused to leave for a long time. They chanted in unison in the stands. At this moment, whether they are moderate fans or extreme fans, whether they are the "Blue Bears" who like Chen Yingxiong or the "Napoli Ultras" who hate Chen Yingxiong, everyone is chanting this word.
There is no difference in their love for the Naples team.
Amid cheers, Naples players lined up to circle the field to thank the fans for their enthusiastic support.
The players of Real Madrid have long left this sad place with disappointment.

Chen Yingxiong threw his jersey to the fans in the West Stand and stripped his upper body, revealing his strong muscles and the giant bear tattoo on his back.
The Catalan media once published two photos of Ronaldinho for comparison. One was when Ronaldinho first came to Barcelona. At that time, he had a strong body and obvious six-pack abs. , that was also when Ronaldinho and Barcelona were at their peak. The second picture is a photo of Ronaldinho before he left Barcelona. In the same posture, with his upper body naked, you can clearly see the fat on his belly, and his six-pack abs have also become four-pack. His performance on the court is not as good as before, and Barcelona's results have also been dragged down. Eventually Ronaldinho left Barcelona.
Catalan media once used these two photos to prove how harmful frequent nightclubs can be to a player.
Ronaldinho later moved to AC Milan. In Milan, a city with more developed nightclubs, his condition deteriorated year by year.
However, even though he frequently goes to nightclubs, Chen Yingxiong's figure is still in shape. It can be seen from his now naked upper body that his muscle contours are very obvious and there is no trace of fat. With such a fit body, it’s no wonder he’s so popular with women.
He followed his teammates around the court, waving his fists and raising his hands to applaud the fans.
This season was his first time participating in the Champions League, and unexpectedly he reached the quarterfinals in one go.
Can we go further?
certainly! We want to go further!
Top four!
finals!
On this stage, I want to truly become a superstar!
