Chapter 126: Too flattering, too shameless, and too shameless! (Second update of guarantee, outbreak notice)

March 28th, the 31st round of the league, the last league game before Naples’ Champions League quarter-finals.

Naples finally defeated Catania 1:0 at home. Finally, they did not lose the league before the Champions League again and continued to maintain their fourth position in the league.

However, Chen Yingxiong did not score in this game because he did not get a chance to play until the last ten minutes. Mazzarri rotated again in this game.

Fortunately, Di Natale did not continue to score goals, so Chen Yingxiong still leads the Serie A scorer list with 21 goals.

After this game was played, everyone's focus, whether it was the media, fans, players, club presidents, head coaches... everyone, turned their attention to the Champions League.

The first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals will officially kick off on March 30. The match between Naples and Barcelona was held on the evening of March 31st, and Naples was away.

In fact, the Naples team has already made preparations for the Champions League since the game against Catania.

In the locker room after the game, Chen Yingxiong and Cassano reminded their teammates.

"Brothers, remember, no matter what the reporters ask, we must be placed on the weak side! Praise Barcelona in the direction of invincibility, as high as you can, the higher the better... and then we let go. , throw them to death!"

Chen Yingxiong suddenly waved his arm down.

※ ※ ※

As soon as the draw results came out, Naples showed weakness, which once made Barcelona feel very happy.

But half a month has passed, and Naples has defeated Juventus and Catania at home and achieved two consecutive victories. What if they are so confident because of their outstanding performance in the league that they want to fight against Barcelona at Camp Nou?

It's better to confirm what Naples' mentality is now...

So when the entire Naples team arrived in Barcelona, ​​a group of Catalan media rushed to ask the Naples players if they were safe. All the most important players were asked.

"What are your chances of winning against Barcelona away from home?"

"Is it stressful to play at Camp Nou?"

"How does it feel for Napoli to meet Barcelona in the quarter-finals?"

…

In particular, Chen Yingxiong, who is famous for his loud mouth, is the target of many reporters.

In the quarter-finals, after Chen Yingxiong defeated Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, he said lightly that he didn't care whether the opponent was Real Madrid or whether there were stars.

Everyone wants to hear what he thinks of Barcelona as an opponent.

Chen Yingxiong was stopped by a group of reporters at the entrance of the airport. After listening to the questions asked by the reporters in English, he looked serious: "This is a very difficult game. It will be difficult to win away from home, but I hope We were able to achieve satisfactory results..."

This answer is too common and not convincing at all. So the reporter asked again: "So what do you think of the defending champion Barcelona?"

"I don't think they are a world-class team anymore!"

Chen Yingxiong’s answer made the reporters present have their jaws drop...especially those from Italy and China. Everyone knows what kind of character Chen Yingxiong is in normal times. When has he ever surrendered?

But this sentence is a real compliment...

etc.

"Isn't this an irony? Hero..." An Italian reporter asked with a surprised look on his face to confirm.

Chen Yingxiong shook his head with a very sincere expression: "What I said is the truth. Barcelona is the strongest today, and no team wants to meet them because... there is absolutely no way to defeat them. But!" He emphasized the but. , "But! Despite this, Naples will still try hard in the away game!"

After that, he left.

A group of reporters were left with their glasses shattered on the ground.

"Let me go...is this really Chen Yingxiong?"

"Is he possessed by an alien?"

"When did he become a Barcelona fan?"

"But... what he said sounds very reasonable..."

The reporters were talking a lot. While they were shocked, some seemed to think that Chen Yingxiong was right and could not find any problems.

Of course, the happiest people are the reporters from the Catalan media.

What's more valuable than the compliments of an opponent? What's more, the opponent who praised Barcelona was still Chen Yingxiong. He is the lunatic who dared to provoke Real Madrid with words at the Bernabeu!

Such a person who is not even a dick to Real Madrid surrenders to Barcelona. It makes Catalans feel beautiful in their hearts.

Sure enough, this news appeared in the local newspaper in Barcelona the next day:

"Heroes: Barcelona is Team Cosmos"

It exaggerated Chen Yingxiong's praise of Barcelona. In fact, it was just one sentence, but they were stunned to expand it into a news feature of more than 2,000 words.

It’s not just Chen Yingxiong. The Barcelona media that day was full of news about how everyone in Naples praised Barcelona and expressed their "love" for Barcelona.

Cassano: "Barcelona has always been our last opponent during my time at Real Madrid."

Hamsik: "Xavi is my idol!"

Sanchez: "I hope to play in Barcelona one day..."

Arshavin: "As you all know, I have always been a Barcelona fan."

Paul Cannavaro: "Messi is the best in the world and it is almost impossible to defend him."

…

This was simply too flattering, too shameless, and too unscrupulous... so it stung someone's nerves.

"I can't imagine that these are the words coming out of the mouths of Naples players! This is not the Naples I played for, and it is impossible for the Naples I played for to say such flattering words! I think this is a shame for Naples!"

The person who said this is named Diego Armando Maradona.

※ ※ ※

"Hey, hero...have we gone too far? Look, Diego is criticizing us now..." Within the team, everyone is not as calm as they appear, they are worried.

Because Maradona is the only true god in the hearts of Naples fans, and he objects, then I don't know what kind of reaction it will arouse... Fans who don't know the inside story will definitely be very unhappy with them.

This is indeed the case, with many Napoli fans completely baffled as to why their players suddenly acted so cowardly.

It's just that the team is in Barcelona, ​​so it's not possible to know the reaction of Naples fans immediately. If this were at home, people would probably come to Castel Volturno to protest the next day...

Chen Yingxiong did not expect that the Catalan media would hype their words so much, as if the Naples players were all undercover agents of Barcelona.

"Maradona? Didn't he once play in Barcelona?" Chen Yingxiong felt strange. "How could he react so strongly to what we said? I thought he had a good relationship with Barcelona..."

"Ahem." Paul Cannavaro coughed and began to educate Chen Yingxiong, who had been in Naples for more than a season and didn't know much about the true god of Naples. "Diego played three seasons at Barcelona but never played a full season... He missed three months in the first season because of hepatitis, three months in the second because of a broken leg, and he missed three months in the third because of hepatitis. He had a fight with Bilbao in the Copa del Rey final, which led to a group fight and was suspended for three months... and it is said that he had a bad relationship with the president of Barcelona. He left Barcelona for this reason... so he has nothing to do with Barcelona. It’s emotional.”

Chen Yingxiong suddenly realized: "So that's how it is... But actually, it's good like this. I don't think anyone will doubt us at all..."

At this point, he can only comfort his teammates in this way.

※ ※ ※

Indeed, no one suspected that they were acting, but a group of people were fiercely criticizing them.

In particular, the Catalan media publicized their compliments, which irritated Real Madrid's side.

Napoli, who defeated them, faced Barcelona with such a low profile. It gave people the feeling that Real Madrid was not even as good as such a team. It was a great shame to be eliminated by such a team!

The Madrid media is full of ridicule and disdain when talking about Naples. They believe that Naples can lose to Barcelona, ​​but they cannot be so humble and flattering to their opponents! How can anyone admit defeat in advance before the game has even started?

Do they think that this will make Barcelona show mercy and not kill them?

It’s simply wishful thinking!

Many Madrid media have even listed Naples as "the most shameless team of the year"...

In fact, to be honest, it is not only the media in Madrid that look down on Naples, but also some Catalan media.

After all, the history of football is purely a men's sport, so it's really a bit...indecent to be so low-key.

Of course, Barcelona wants to see someone praising their team, but at the same time, they can't stand this kind of naked flattery, thinking it is too much and too spineless.

Some media also took the opportunity to mock their arch-enemy Real Madrid: "...I simply can't imagine Real Madrid losing to such a team, hahahaha!"

This sound is really harsh to the ears of Real Madrid people.

It's a pity that they can't refute, because it's a fact that they lost to such a Naples team...it's so frustrating!

They had no choice but to turn their hatred towards Naples. Criticizing the unethical Naples team, he also quoted Maradona's words.

In such a messy pre-match environment, Naples stepped onto the turf of the Camp Nou.

What greeted them was not friendly applause, but a burst of laughter.

This is of course due to Napoli’s unrestricted performance before the game...

Many Naples players also felt that the laughter was a bit harsh, and they lowered their heads.

Only the two besties, Chen Yingxiong and Cassano, faced the roar of laughter with their heads held high and their chests held high.

Laugh, laugh, laugh as much as you want!

The more you underestimate us, the happier we will be!
