Volume 1: When Heroes Come and Go, People Pay Attention. Chapter 125: Soldiers Never Tire of Deceit (First Update Guaranteed)

Chapter 125: Soldiers never tire of deceit (first update guaranteed)

As soon as the draw results came out, the Catalan media began to take the opportunity to ridicule Real Madrid: "Wait for us to avenge you, Real Madrid!"

The implication is that we can win against teams that you can't beat, so we are better than you.

Naples has been sentenced to death in advance, as if Naples will definitely lose if they encounter Barcelona.

In fact, this is also the consensus of the entire Europe - Barcelona is in full swing now, and if nothing else happens, they will definitely reach the finals all the way.

Although Naples defeated Real Madrid, in the eyes of analysts, Real Madrid lost to itself, not to Naples. Naples itself was not strong.

Even the Naples media feel that Naples' road to the Champions League ends here.

And... the Napoli players seem to think so too.

"Barcelona is the most powerful team in world football today. We are very unlucky to draw Barcelona, ​​really bad... But we will try our best..." The team's captain, Paul Cannava When Luo faced the camera and microphone, his eyes were a little erratic. It was obvious that he didn't have the confidence to say this.

Based on this, all media believe that the match between Naples and Barcelona has lost its suspense. Barcelona really got a good draw this time, and it is no longer a problem for them to advance to the semi-finals.

but……

"Hey, I said hero, is that okay?" Paul Cannavaro asked Chen Yingxiong after returning to the team.

Chen Yingxiong gave him a thumbs up: "You can definitely compete for the Oscar, captain... I'm not talking about Serie A!"

"Speaking of which, can this really paralyze our opponents?" Ma Qiao asked curiously.

The idea of ​​taking the initiative to show weakness was proposed by Chen Yingxiong and Cassano, and then everyone discussed it and thought it could be done.

But whether it really works, no one knows.

"Of course there is no problem. Barcelona has been at its peak for the past two seasons. It is the time when they are most proud, and their opponents basically perform the same way, so there will be no suspicion." Chen Yingxiong explained to everyone. "When they despise us, we will give them another surprise!"

Cannavaro's answer was agreed upon by everyone, and we need to have a unified approach to the outside world, saying that we are afraid of Barcelona, ​​we are extremely afraid. Of course, if you say it so directly, it would be too false, so you have to hide it and cover it up.

While saying, "We are not afraid of Barcelona or anything like that," his eyes were wandering and he lacked confidence. In this way, the media will firmly believe that Naples is really afraid of Barcelona.

As the captain of the team, Cannavaro's words are more credible and can represent the voice of the Naples team.

※ ※ ※

However, Cannavaro's words were not the first to scare Barcelona, ​​but their head coach Mazzarri.

Mazzarri ran to Cannavaro to question him about his answer to reporters - after hearing the team's reaction outside the locker room that day, he didn't think his team would do something so weak. response.

Then Cannavaro told the truth and confessed Chen Yingxiong and Cassano.

Mazzarri laughed when he heard the answer, patted Cannavaro on the shoulder and praised them for a job well done.

Then the next day he changed his attitude when being interviewed by reporters: "Yes, how to deal with Barcelona is a difficult question to answer. I have a headache day and night. But we are Naples and we will not give in easily!"

Okay, now even the head coach is having fun...

※ ※ ※

Then the Catalan media really believed it.

A photo of Paulo Cannavaro's interview was published in a Catalan newspaper, with the caption: "We were unlucky to draw Barcelona."

The quotes are from Paul Cannavaro's original words, which made the Barcelona fans feel really happy, from the outside to the inside, and then to the bone marrow. In short, Barcelona fans said this when they saw the opponent's captain. , I feel really happy.

The opponent is already timid before fighting, and will probably surrender without a fight when the competition comes.

Then Barcelona can advance to the semi-finals without a fight and wait for their opponents - Barcelona fans hope to meet Inter Milan led by Mourinho, because they will have the opportunity to humiliate the player who is not welcomed by Camp Nou. Man, that "ungrateful" "traitor"!

The topic of opponents in the Champions League has only been hyped here. After all, we are still half a month away from the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

It's too early to start endless discussions about the Champions League quarter-finals.

Naples challenged AC Milan away from home on the weekend. They fought fiercely with Milan for 90 minutes at San Siro, with no outcome in sight. Chen Yingxiong assisted the team in the score and helped the team equalize the score, but failed to help the team win. The two teams ended the game with a score of 1:1, and Naples was winless in four league rounds.

Barcelona was drawn in the Champions League, and it is estimated that the Champions League will only reach the quarterfinals. The league has been winless for four rounds, and the fourth position in the league is in jeopardy.

Naples has reached a very dangerous moment.

At this time, they welcomed Juventus at home.

Naples and Juventus are mortal enemies. This is based on the opposition between the south and north of Italy, so Naples and the three northern powers have always been mortal enemies.

One thing is very representative. On August 27, 2006, in the third round of the Italian Cup, Naples and Juventus met, and Juventus was a guest at the Sao Paulo Stadium. The game was ups and downs. The two teams tied at 2:2 in the 90 minutes, and each scored a goal at the last minute in overtime to tie at 3:3. In the final penalty shootout, Juventus's Buffon, Marchionne, and Balzaretti missed penalty kicks. In the end, Juventus lost to Naples 4:5 and was eliminated.

After winning that game, Naples seemed to have been promoted to Serie A. The entire San Paolo Stadium was like a volcano erupting, erupting with huge energy, and everyone was cheering and celebrating.

It was the victory in this game that made Naples full of hope and firm belief in their revival. From that game on, Napoli hit the highway, their rise began to accelerate, and they became the Napoli team they are today.

Just defeating Juventus in the Italian Cup can affect the future of Naples, which shows the hatred between these two teams.

※ ※ ※

Naples, which has been winless for four consecutive rounds, seems to be dragged down by the Champions League, but what about Juventus? They have been eliminated in the group stage, and there is no impact from the Champions League in the second half of the season. It stands to reason that they should be able to take advantage of the situation and win Naples away from home, breaking Naples' unbeaten home record so far this season.

But……

"De Jong passed the ball to Hamsik. Hamsik took the ball forward and he passed it to Sanchez on the wing... Sanchez was so fast and he forced a break through Juventus full-back Grosso. , Cross from the bottom! Here it comes——"

As the commentator yelled "Coming" in a prolonged voice, Chen Yingxiong quickly changed direction in front of the goal and reached forward, caught the landing point, then jumped high and shook his head to attack the goal!

A beautiful lion head shake!

Goalkeeper Buffon had been defending in the middle, but he didn't expect Chen Yingxiong to run forward and header the ball. So by the time he pounced forward, it was already too late!

The football flew into the goal between his hand and the goal post!

"goooooooooooooool!! herogoooooooooool!!" the Naples radio commentator shouted.

Florence once had its "batigol", and now Naples has its own "herogol".

"In the seventeenth minute of the first half, Napoli took the lead at home! Chen Yingxiong took the lead for them! Yes, the lead! Scored the goal with his head!"

"Napoli got off to a great start and they took the lead at home!"

After scoring the goal, Chen Yingxiong slapped his forehead and ran towards the camera, which meant telling the audience: "Look at my golden head!"

The commentator of Italian Sky TV shouted: "The Bear bomber appeared over the enemy again! How many headers has this been for him this season? I don't know, anyway, it's a lot! A lot! A lot! The header is his The biggest scoring weapon. Everyone knows that he is a good header, but he can still score with a header, which shows his header level!"

The allusion of "Bear Bomber" actually comes from Russia. When Chen Yingxiong originally played for Zenit St. Petersburg, he scored a goal in the UEFA Cup. The Russian commentator shouted that he was a "Tu-95 heavy strategic bomber."

The Tu-95 strategic bomber is a long-range strategic bomber developed by the former Soviet Union's Tupolev Aircraft Design Bureau. It has a long range, but its speed is slow and is not suitable for flying at altitudes below three thousand meters. It was once the most important air strike force and deterrence force of the Soviet Empire. It had excellent long-range strategic strike capabilities during the Cold War.

Yuri Petrov called him the "Tu-95 strategic bomber" because Chen Yingxiong was good at heading the ball. He looked "heavy" because of his tall size. In addition, during that time, he always received red cards for stripping off his clothes in celebration. Head coach Advocata strictly prohibited him from taking off his clothes to celebrate, so he instead used a celebration movement of diving down with open arms and gliding on the turf. This movement is quite similar to that of a bomber.

This name spread to Europe, because other European countries call the "Tu-95" "Bear", and Chen Yingxiong's nickname happens to be "Northern Giant Bear", so the European media uses "Bear Bomber" to describe Chen Yingxiong. It's just right...

Playing Juventus at their home court, Napoli didn't need to mobilize at all, and the whole team seemed to be pumped.

Although Juventus got a goal back in the first half. But the second half completely turned into a Napoli performance.

Chen Yingxiong scored a goal for the team to take the lead again in the 71st minute. He scored twice in this game.

In the last 83 minutes, Arshavin broke into the penalty area and was tripped by Juventus center back Chiellini. Chiellini received his second yellow card of the game and was sent off, and also gave Napoli a penalty A penalty kick.

Hamsik took the penalty kick and won it instantly.

In the end, Naples defeated Juventus 3:1 at their home court, ending the embarrassment of four consecutive games without a win. They also scored three points at the most critical moment and regained their fourth position in the league.
