Chapter 178 A crucial battle (first update guaranteed)

The Champions League match between Naples and Manchester United was hyped by the media before the game.

But this game has nothing to do with Chen Yingxiong. He can only watch it from the VIP box at the St. Paul Stadium.

It's not easy to be a bystander, especially when your team is still in a very dangerous situation and you are unable to do anything.

Whether Naples' prospects of qualifying for the group stage can reach a turning point will all depend on this game.

Thirty minutes into the game, the two sides were still 0:0. Manchester United had obviously heard about the power of Naples at home, so Ferguson's team appeared to be cautious in away games and did not attack with all their strength.

Facing Manchester United's shrinking defense, Naples didn't have much to do. At times like this, Naples needs a strong center. Once they have a strong center, it will not be an impossible task to break through the dense defense.

But the powerful center is not there.

"The only advantage of Naples is that they are playing at their home court. However, this advantage really does not make their supporters feel safe... I believe that Naples fans must miss Chen Yingxiong very much. Of course, many people say I will definitely not admit it, hahaha!" The commentator laughed at this point.

The whole world knows about the bad relationship between Chen Yingxiong and Naples fans.

Although it has improved so far, the impression is still that he has a tense relationship with Naples fans.

This can be heard from the boos that sound every time Chen Yingxiong scores a goal.

Chen Yingxiong rolled his eyes when he heard the commentator's voice.

Cabrera, who was sitting next to him as a bodyguard, noticed that Chen Yingxiong had an indifferent expression on his face, but his hands were clenched tightly.

Chen Yingxiong watches every team's Champions League game. He comes to the home games and the away games in front of the TV. Whether it's home or away, sitting next to him is Cabrera.

Cabrera has seen this action countless times.

She wanted to comfort the nervous Chen Yingxiong. Although she didn't know why she had this idea, she just felt that she should comfort him.

"Don't worry, it's still a draw," she said.

Chen Yingxiong heard her words and turned to look at her.

"Thank you for your comfort," he said, "but I'm not nervous."

"You keep clenching your fists. This is a sign of nervousness." Cabrera pointed to his fists.

Chen Yingxiong lowered his head, unclenched his fist, and then clenched it hard.

"I'm building up my strength," he said to Cabrera.

"Charging?" Cabrera frowned. This woman usually has a serious face, so even if she frowns now, she looks very beautiful and charming, and her expression makes her look particularly lively.

Chen Yingxiong laughed: "Yes, charge up. Have you ever played video games? Fighting ones?"

"No." Cabrera shook his head honestly.

"Oh, it's a setting in fighting games that allows you to accumulate power."

"What will happen when the power is full?"

"It's even more powerful than usual! His whole body is shining like a super soldier!"

"so……"

"So I'm just accumulating strength now!" Chen Yingxiong unclenched his fist and clenched it again.

"Is it full?"

"Not yet, I'll have it full after the group stage. Then...then I'll transform into a super soldier and settle the score with them!" Chen Yingxiong turned his eyes away and continued to watch the game. "I want them to know how scary a hungry bear is..."

Naples and Manchester United played 0:0 in the first half, and the news from another arena was that Valencia, playing at home, led Glasgow Rangers 1:0 in the first half.

If Valencia wins this game, they will overtake Rangers by five points, and if Naples cannot win, they may still be at the bottom of the standings.

This is certainly not what Napoli fans want to see, especially Valencia taking the lead.

Since Valencia and Naples play at home, they have an advantage. If they lead now, they will be able to play with ease. If Naples loses to Valencia on the road again, they will be completely out of luck.

So this game must be won, especially if Valencia wins against Rangers.

Naples fans were in a low mood during the halftime break because of this.

During the halftime break, Cabrera was chatting with Chen Yingxiong. Like other fans, their topic was this game.

"Are you really not worried that your team can't win?" Cabrera asked.

"I believe they won't let me worry or let me down." Chen Yingxiong replied.

"reason?"

"Because we are teammates, they promised me to go to the knockout round. If you promise others something, you must do it, or don't worry." At this point, Chen Yingxiong paused. Because he suddenly thought of the bet he had with Chen Xing.

If you promise others, you must do it!

This time, I got myself involved...

Ouch, what a headache.

During the recent period, he has been busy scoring goals in the league and sharing the pressure for the team in the Champions League.

Chen Yingxiong hasn't paid attention to the latest progress of Chen Xing's acquisition of Liverpool for a long time, and he doesn't know what the details are.

Logically speaking, the results should be available in October. It’s already November 2nd, so why is there still no news? Could it be that after the failure, Chen Xing felt that he was losing face, so he didn't call him?

He planned to wait until the game was over and check online to see if there was any final result on the Liverpool acquisition case.

But for now, let’s look at the game in front of us.

Ten minutes into the second half, Napoli seized an opportunity.

To be precise, Raul seized that opportunity.

At that time, Manchester United's center back Vidic made a mistake. He failed to intercept Hamsik's through ball to Raul.

After Raul successfully countered offside, he received the football behind Manchester United's defense, then made a slight adjustment and shot!

Just when Vidic missed the ball, the commentator on the TV became excited: "He missed it! He missed it! He missed it! He didn't block the ball! Raul! Raul! Raul——"

In his roar, Raul kicked the football towards the goal. The football drew an arc, just bypassed Van der Sar's fingers, and then flew into the far corner of the goal...

"Raul!!!" the Italian commentator shouted hoarsely, his voice sounded like he was crying. "goooooooooooooooooooooool!!! goooooooooooooooooooool!!"

"Napoli scored! Raul scored! They led Manchester United 1:0 at home!!"

The stands erupted with huge cheers, pure cheers, no boos at all.

Raul is not Chen Yingxiong, he is very popular.

Watching the football fly into the goal, Chen Yingxiong also jumped up from his seat, raised his arms and shouted: "Well done! So damn beautiful!!"

No one made a fuss about his swear words, because at this time, even in the VIP box, there were many swear words like this.

The entire St. Paul Stadium became a sea of ​​joy at this moment.

Everyone was chanting: "Raul! Raul! Raul! Raul!!" This sound became the main theme of the São Paulo Stadium, making it difficult to hear any other sound.

The Napoli fans shouted so loudly because they knew exactly what this goal meant to the team.

If Naples can win against Manchester United at home, they will have a chance of qualifying from the group!

After scoring the goal, Raul didn't kiss his hand gracefully. In such an important game, even Raul couldn't stay calm after scoring such a crucial goal. In other words, he was also infected by the crazy atmosphere of St. Paul Stadium!

He opened his arms and ran all the way, and then led a group of teammates into the bench.

It became the busiest area.

※ ※ ※

"Naples has taken the lead at home! This is a very critical moment! If Naples can win this game, they will accumulate five points and will be in a favorable position to qualify for the group!"

"Raul! Raul! He proved that he is worthy of the title of King of the Champions League! He is the well-deserved top scorer of the Champions League! This is his 68th goal in the Champions League! Since joining Naples, Raul has He didn't find his form right away. Although his goals were few, they were very important!"

"This is Raul! This is Raul! This is Raul Gonzalez of Real Madrid!" The Spanish commentator was particularly excited because Raul performed well and their faces were bright. "He is a legendary striker from Real Madrid! No matter where he is, he will become a legend!"

※ ※ ※

The huge aura that erupted at the San Paolo Stadium in Naples after Raul's goal stunned the Manchester United players. Each of their eardrums were shaken by huge cheers. Such a fanatical home atmosphere is rare even at Old Trafford.

Ferguson was sitting on the coach's bench. Raul's goal did not make him get up, but the cheers from the Sao Paulo Stadium moved him.

He can now understand why every team that comes to play in this stadium will say that this is the Devil's away game.

Fighting in this atmosphere, Napoli looked invincible.

They are all truly superhuman.

It's really not easy to play in this kind of away game...

※ ※ ※

After the game restarted, the atmosphere at the scene had not yet cooled down, and Naples fans were still cheering and singing at the top of their lungs.

After Chen Yingxiong clapped his hands and sat down, he couldn't help but slap his thighs and kept cheering.

The entire San Paolo Stadium was immersed in great excitement.

But Mazzarri was only excited for a while, and now he has calmed down. In fact, he calmed down even earlier. When the players were celebrating the goal crazily, he had already pulled them one by one and reminded them to pay special attention to defense and be careful to guard against Manchester United's counterattack.

Indeed, Manchester United, which was lagging behind, launched a fierce attack on Naples' goal, and the game after taking the lead became more difficult to play.

Every minute, Naples fans are worried, fearing that the goal will be breached.

Mazzarri also made adjustments, strengthening defense and giving up offense.

For Napoli, a one-goal win is the same as a three-goal victory.

As long as the team can win and get three points.

Although it is too conservative to stick to it, Naples currently has no other option. If they continue to attack Manchester United, the possibility of losing will be very high. It may look ugly to stick to it, but the results are very good.

※ ※ ※

Finally, when the referee blew the full-time whistle, the entire Sao Paulo Stadium was in a boil.

Because they defeated Manchester United!

Defeated Manchester United at home when almost no one was expecting it!

And Ferguson's team suffered its first defeat in the Champions League of the new season!

While the Naples fans were still cheering in their seats, Chen Yingxiong had already stood up from his seats.

"I smell fresh meat."

Chen Yingxiong grinned at Cabrera who looked up at him.
