Volume 1: When a Hero Appears, People Pay Attention. Chapter 170: Crazy Talk (First Update Guaranteed)

Chapter 170: Crazy talk (first update guaranteed)

"Hero's statement is scheduled to be the top scorer in the Champions League!" 》

"Idiot, you are suspended for eight games and still want to win the top scorer?" 》

"Confidence to a certain extent is arrogance! 》

"Someone has gone completely crazy..."

…

After the Champions League draw ceremony and awards ceremony ended early this morning, Beijing time, what left the deepest impact on people was not the death group composed of AC Milan, Real Madrid, Schalke 04 and Auxerre, nor was it Barcelona's "again" "If I get the lottery, it's not that Inter Milan won all the player awards in the Champions League last season, it's not that Diego Milito won the best forward and best player awards...

None of the above, but Chen Yingxiong’s resounding voice: “I, Chen Yingxiong, have reserved the Champions League Golden Boot for this season!”

This voice became the focus of everyone's discussion afterwards. Of course, at the award ceremony, he slapped UEFA, headed by Platini, very shamelessly... This is not an unusual thing.

It is far less powerful than his move to book the top scorer in the Champions League while missing six group matches.

Of course, Chen Yingxiong was quickly surrounded by reporters after the lottery ceremony, and he also gave an explanation for his "shocking remarks."

"I believe in my teammates, even without me, Napoli will definitely be able to reach the knockout rounds of the Champions League. My Champions League starts from the knockout rounds. I just try my best to win and move forward. The further I go, the more games I will participate in." The more you have, the more chances you have to score goals. So I don’t think there’s anything incredible about this…”

Despite this, everyone felt that this was clearly an unreasonable statement. Can you guarantee Napoli will make it all the way to the final? If you stop in the top 16, don't you only have two games at most? Stopped in the quarterfinals, four games at most. Stopping in the semi-finals, there are at most six games, and only then can the six games in the group stage be made up.

But what about your competitors? They have the advantage of six group matches and are almost guaranteed to win. You must know that the group stage and the knockout round are two completely different events. The opponents in the group stage have different levels. If you encounter a team that is eliminated early, it may not work hard in the end, allowing the strong team to rush in. Number of balls. This situation is not new. So in fact, many of the Champions League's top scorers in a season set the tone in the group stage. Basically after the group stage, you can see who is qualified to compete for the top scorer.

With these wild words, Chen Yingxiong really regarded the world's heroes as nothing. Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema, Rooney, Robin van Persie, Pato, Milito... Are these masters just decorations? Can I watch you work hard from the knockout rounds alone, and then finally win the top scorer?

This is simply wishful thinking!

Even if you scored ten goals last season, it doesn't mean you have this ability. You must know that six of your ten goals were scored in the group stage. If there were no opponents of different levels in the group stage, where would you go to score more goals?

This matter is really making a fuss. Even within China, there was a debate over his "bold words". Xie Liang, who was always at odds with Chen Yingxiong, even wrote a 3,000-word blog post to ridicule Chen Yingxiong. Although he basically no longer writes football-related articles and calls himself a "public intellectual", as long as it is related to Chen Yingxiong, he must be like a chicken blood, and he can always find a particularly weird angle. Hei Yihei Chen Yingxiong.

This blog post is called "I don't see any traditional Chinese virtues in Chen Yingxiong!" 》

The label is very big, but unfortunately it can only be labeled domestically, and its influence cannot even be exported to blog sites, let alone disgusting Chen Yingxiong.

In fact, Chen Yingxiong suddenly said such shocking and somewhat arrogant words. There is another level of consideration, but this consideration can only be kept in his heart and cannot be said to anyone yet.

That bet always had a place in his heart. He didn't know if Chen Xing could really acquire Liverpool, but he always had to consider the bad consequences. If...he meant if Chen Xing and Lu Ang really succeeded in acquiring Liverpool, what would he do?

Regret not going? Just say you were joking?

That would be a real joke.

Chen Yingxiong is not that kind of person. Although he didn't read many books and didn't have a high degree of education, he learned one thing from his father who was a businessman - no one can stand without trust. Credibility is important in doing business, and even more so in life. This is what his father has said to him since he was a child, so no matter what he commits, he can fight, pick up girls, eat, drink and have fun, but he will never give up when he agrees to someone else's promise.

Maybe Chen Xing would think this was just a joke, but he, Chen Yingxiong, was already seriously considering this issue.

After much deliberation, he made a decision at the Champions League awards ceremony - as long as Naples can reach the knockout rounds this season, he will do his best and do everything he can to help Naples go further in the Champions League. How far is it exactly?

finals.

As long as there is a one percent chance, he will help the team reach the final at Wembley Stadium.

If there is a 0.001% chance, he will help the team win this trophy, which symbolizes the highest honor of European football clubs.

He feels that if that day really comes, this is the only way he can leave this team without any burden.

He had already had the idea of ​​leaving Naples because those extreme fans didn't deal with him, but he really didn't expect it to be so early... If he wanted to leave the team so early, he would definitely leave the team with a generous salary." Heritage". Although he doesn't deal with those fans, he has a good relationship with his teammates. The club's management and coaching staff also have a good relationship with him. The old man De Laurentiis treats him like his own son. , is also a good person.

Except for those extreme fans, this team was very good to him. He couldn't accept that he just left without doing anything.

The departure of some people is as light as a feather, while the departure of some people is heavier than Mount Tai. He hopes he is the latter.

That's why he said that at the Champions League award ceremony. Because when others were doubting how many goals he could score in one or two knockout rounds, what he prepared for himself at the beginning was seven games. Using seven games to compete for the top scorer actually didn't count. How crazy - Chen Yingxiong personally thinks.

To others, this is arrogance or crazy talk, but Chen Yingxiong is really serious about realizing it.

※ ※ ※

The outside world is making a lot of noise about this matter, and Chen Yingxiong has returned to his team.

He missed the first round of the league and did not play in this game. He only met his teammates when the team returned from the away game and restarted training.

As a result, his words at the UEFA awards ceremony also became the focus of discussion among his teammates.

However, it is different from the almost one-sided questioning and ridicule from the outside world. It can even be said to be completely different.

In the team's locker room, what he felt was not cynicism and doubt, but only unconditional trust and support.

"Hero, you slapped your face so well!"

"I'm telling you a hero. Just when you said that, the expression on Platini's face next to you was...not to mention how wonderful it was! Hahaha!"

"What's the point of booking the top scorer in the Champions League? Those idiot media are making a fuss. I'll call you a hero... We support you! Just do it! Take a good rest for half a season, and I will pass the ball to you when the time comes. !" Hamsik patted Chen Yingxiong on the shoulder and said to him.

"Yes, we will all support you!" Captain Paul Cannavaro also stood up. Two of the three bosses in the locker room expressed support. The other one who did not express his support was Chen Yingxiong himself. Basically, This means that the entire Naples team supports Chen Yingxiong.

Chen Yingxiong is also very grateful for everyone's support.

He patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, brothers, I will repay everyone with goals one after another! Then we will go together... to the final! To Wembley! If we encounter Barcelona on the way, we will take care of it easily. , take revenge! If we have to wait until the finals to meet them, then we will defeat them in the finals!"

"Oh oh oh oh!" a group of Naples players shouted excitedly.

Raul, who was standing next to him, was secretly surprised when he saw this scene. This may be the strangest group of people he has ever seen. He has worked with many players in Real Madrid, and no one can be as confident as these people...or arrogant and ignorant. Do they know how difficult it is to be the top scorer starting from the knockout stage?

Or did they not consider the difficulty of this matter at all?

Looking at the Napoli players, they shouted excitedly: "Go to Wembley! Go to Wembley!"

A thought suddenly came to his mind - maybe this is why this team was able to defeat us at the Bernabeu and why it was able to push Barcelona into a panic at the Nou Camp?

Because... maybe there is nothing in this world that they are afraid of!

※ ※ ※

The outside world was so interested in Chen Yingxiong's shocking words that the results of the Champions League group draw were ranked behind.

In fact, this is the highlight...because you can probably guess quite a few of the top 16 players from the groupings.

This draw drew two death groups, one of which is Group G where AC Milan and Real Madrid meet again. In addition to these two super giants, this group also has the Bundesliga powerhouse Schalke 04 and France's Auxerre. Except for Auxerre's possible weakness, the other three teams are all expected to qualify, and they may also be eliminated.

The so-called group of death does not mean that the more strong teams in a group, the more it is a group of death, but that the four teams in this group are evenly matched, relatively close in strength, and the format is very stalemate. Anyone can die, and no one can die. It's possible.

So according to this label, Group C is an out-and-out group of death.

This group includes Manchester United, Valencia, Rangers and Napoli.

Mazzarri's premonition was correct and he could score full marks. Naples was indeed drawn into the group of death.

Except for Manchester United, which is slightly stronger, it is difficult to say who is stronger or weaker than the other three teams. This is a group where nothing is surprising.

Without Villa, Valencia's offensive strength may be greatly affected, but after all, it is also a traditional strong team in La Liga. Not to mention Glasgow Rangers, one of the two traditional top teams in the Scottish Premiership.

Whether Naples without Chen Yingxiong can stand out in this group is hard to say now. However, they have Raul, who is experienced in the Champions League, and may be able to somewhat make up for the impact of Chen Yingxiong's absence.

So later everyone felt that the previous debate was completely ridiculous and meaningless, because judging from this group, it was hard to say whether Napoli could qualify from the group...

Barcelona got a top pick - nothing surprising about that. However, with their strength, they are probably in the group of death. The name "group of death" is also referred to the other three teams. For them, there is actually no "group of death". ".

Barcelona is in Group D, grouped with Panathinaikos from Greece, Copenhagen from Denmark and Ruby Kazan from Russia. None of these three teams can threaten Barcelona's advancement. Even Barcelona's technical director Zubizarreta admitted in a subsequent interview that "it is not difficult to qualify first in the group, and we also have such confidence."

The specific grouping of the top 32 of the Champions League is as follows:

Group A is composed of defending champions Inter Milan, Benfica, Premier League dark horse Tottenham, and last season's Eredivisie champion Twente.

Group B includes Lyon, Roma, Partizan Belgrade and Workers Tel Aviv.

Group C is Manchester United, Valencia, Rangers and Naples.

Group D includes Barcelona, ​​Panathinaikos, Copenhagen, and Ruby Kazan.

Group E consists of Bayern Munich, Ajax, Basel and Cluj.

In Group F, Chelsea, Marseille, Spartak Moscow and Zilina, the situation is relatively clear.

Group G is another group of death, including AC Milan, Real Madrid, Schalke 04, and Auxerre. Real Madrid may be regarded as the most undesirable opponent among the second-tier teams. AC Milan has been drawn with Real Madrid for two consecutive years. If you say it is a coincidence, few people believe it.

Arsenal in Group H also got a good draw. They are in a group with Shakhtar Donetsk, Braga and Bursaspor. It should not be a problem to qualify first in the group.

Being assigned to the group of death is definitely not a good thing. After the first round of the league, everyone felt that Mazzarri added training content with Raul as the core of the offense, and even created another set specifically for Raul. tactics. Everyone knows very well that this is the tactic Napoli will use in the Champions League group stage, putting Raul at the front as a center.

Although Raul is best at shadow forward, he has played in Real Madrid for so many years and is actually used to the center position. However, his center style is completely different from Chen Yingxiong's, and both the team and himself still need to adapt and adapt to each other.

Although they have to adapt again, the morale of the Naples team is still very high. They were scared to death even if they were assigned to the death group, and they couldn't even say anything bad.

Today's Naples is not the Naples who couldn't help but look like a dead mother when they saw a draw with Real Madrid on a live broadcast.

This Napoli team grew up in the blood and fire of fighting against Lyon, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​and the godfather of UEFA.

After the group results came out, some media interviewed Naples captain Paul Cannavaro, and he said there was no pressure.

"Hero said something I particularly agree with after he defeated Real Madrid at the Bernabeu - we don't care who the opponent is, as long as we win."

Mazzarri also feels that even if they are assigned to the death group, it does not mean that Naples is done with things.

"We don't have a hero, but we have Raul, and we have other outstanding players. Naples has the confidence and the strength... Of course we respect our opponents, but first of all, we respect ourselves."

Chen Yingxiong made crazy remarks at the Champions League award ceremony and smoking ceremony, so the entire Naples team decided to accompany Chen Yingxiong on a crazy walk in this Champions League!
