Chapter 186: Adjusting the status (Second update, please give me a guaranteed monthly ticket!)

The latest FIFA Ballon d'Or has nothing to do with Chen Yingxiong. Knowing the voting mechanism, he never thought that he would be elected.

On January 6, Naples’ second half of the season begins.

They challenged Inter Milan away.

Last season's Triple Crown winner is having a hard time this season.

Mourinho left, and Benitez, whom he disliked very much, took over the team. As a result, he offended the players and the club's senior management in his eagerness to transform the locker room. It is said that he even refused to let the club hang a picture of Mourinho.

Then he lost the European Super Cup, completely ruining Inter Milan's dream of matching Barcelona's six crowns. This result disappointed the Inter Milan fans. From then on, even the Inter Milan fans did not support him.

Inter Milan was in a mess under Benitez, and he was sentenced to death by the media many times.

Finally, after helping the team win the Club World Cup, he gave the club owner an ultimatum: If the club could not buy the four players he needed, he would leave.

The result was...he left.

The new head coach is the Brazilian Leonardo who also coached AC Milan last season. This result made AC Milan fans very angry, and Inter Milan fans did not buy it - they did not like this former AC Milan player, staff and Head coach. I really don’t know what Moratti thinks about letting a person with a deep imprint of a mortal enemy coach the team. Does he think that this can defeat his mortal enemy in the same city?

Therefore, at the beginning of the new year, Inter Milan is in the midst of internal and external troubles.

Even playing away from home, Naples didn't think they would lose to Inter Milan.

But football is so fascinating precisely because of its unpredictability.

So it is a pity that Naples lost cleanly 1:3 in the away game.

Chen Yingxiong scored a goal for the team in the game, but was unable to save the team's defeat. After all, he was just a player with limited energy.

But he was a little depressed.

He never lost to the strongest Inter Milan team led by Mourinho. Instead, he lost to an exhausted Inter Milan team that was tormented by internal and external troubles.

He had the feeling that "I have nothing to explain."

It wasn't just him who was depressed, Mazzarri was also depressed.

At the post-match press conference, Mazzarri criticized the team's poor performance. He admitted that the loss was due to "underestimating the enemy." However, this reason was even more unpleasant to Inter Milan fans - since when did Naples have the right to underestimate Inter Milan? Already?

No matter how unhappy Inter Milan fans are, this is the fact. Naples is indeed a love rival. They think they can easily defeat Inter Milan, which has gone through a coaching change, even on the road.

But this was not the case. A skinny camel was bigger than a horse, and Inter Milan gave them a blow.

In fact, before coming to the press conference, Mazzarri had already scolded everyone bloody.

※ ※ ※

As the saying goes, knowing shame and then being brave, Mazari's rebuke still had an effect.

Three days later, Naples welcomed Juventus at home. This time they did not give Juventus any chance. They defeated the Old Lady 3:0 after a tough battle at home.

Chen Yingxiong scored a goal.

After entering the new year, he scored in two consecutive games.

There were not many goals, but the Italian media believed that this was Chen Yingxiong warming up.

Just like a car, it is impossible to reach the fastest speed just from the start. Even for the best cars, it takes time to accelerate from zero to 100 kilometers, it's just the length of time.

Now scoring one goal in every game, Chen Yingxiong is just adjusting his state.

The Italian media are very optimistic and believe that when the Champions League knockout rounds begin, it will be the time when Chen Yingxiong accelerates to a speed of 100 kilometers per hour. And from then on, he only gets faster, not slower.

The accelerator of this tank will be pushed to the bottom.

Unlike the Catalan media that vilified and ridiculed Chen Yingxiong in every possible way, in Italy, Chen Yingxiong has conquered these media with his crazy goals.

In the past, there were still media who liked to confront Chen Yingxiong. Not now, because they found that going against the protagonist will not end well... The Catalan media don't know this because they are far away in Spain and are not familiar with Chen Yingxiong at all.

The Italian media has to deal with Chen Yingxiong all day long. They have long been familiar with Chen Yingxiong's temper and witnessed Chen Yingxiong's strong strength. They all very wisely chose to side with Chen Yingxiong. After every game, the Italian media All presented a spectacular scene of praising Chen Yingxiong.

This will of course make people who don't like Chen Yingxiong very unhappy, but they can't help it. Because Chen Yingxiong's performance this season is indeed impeccable.

※ ※ ※

Perhaps the Italian media are right, Chen Yingxiong is really adjusting his condition.

In the following games, his goals and performance were not very stable, in contrast to the extreme speed in the first half of the season.

Of course, this issue is a matter of opinion. The Italian media said that Chen Yingxiong was adjusting his condition, while the media from other countries could question whether Chen Yingxiong's condition was declining.

On January 15, in the twentieth round of the league, Naples drew 0:0 with Fiorentina at home, and Chen Yingxiong did not score.

On January 23, in the 21st round of the league, Naples defeated Bari 2-0 away from home. Chen Yingxiong scored a goal. However, this game accumulated his fourth yellow card this season and automatically suspended him for one game.

Even as the league was getting underway, Bigang's work was progressing.

He first bought the frustrated left-back Dossena from Liverpool. This made up for the weakness of the left side of Naples' defense. Criscito was no longer the only one to hold on. This transfer transaction cost Napoli a transfer fee of 4 million euros.

However, Dossena is obviously not the main target of Naples' transfer offensive this winter.

On January 25, Naples announced that it had taken center Cavani away from Palermo on a loan and then a buyout basis.

After half a season on loan, Napoli will buy out Cavani for 16 million euros in the summer.

This transfer transaction did not attract much attention from the media and did not surprise the fans. In fact, the previous state was strange, because Chen Yingxiong did not have a real substitute in Naples.

Sarayeta ended his contract with the club at the end of last season and left Naples. Since then, although Naples has introduced Raul, it is obvious that Raul and Chen Yingxiong are not the same type of forwards, and he cannot act as Chen Yingxiong's substitute. In fact, this is exactly the case. In the domestic league, Raul often starts with Chen Yingxiong, playing his favorite second forward.

Therefore, Chen Yingxiong has never had a real substitute. What if Chen Yingxiong cannot participate in the competition? Then change the tactics and use the same tactics as the Champions League, pushing Raul to the center position, but Naples' tactics are completely different from when there was Chen Yingxiong, and they were more foot-stepping.

Fortunately, Chen Yingxiong has excellent physical fitness and stamina. He has never been exhausted or injured. Otherwise, once injured, Naples will never be ranked first in the league.

No one thought there was anything wrong with buying Cavani. The Uruguayan must be a substitute for Chen Yingxiong. It's time for Chen Yingxiong to need a substitute. Who can guarantee that he will not have physical problems or injuries throughout the season?

But the only pity is that Chen Yingxiong is in such good condition, but his substitute is a tragedy. His appearances will be few and far between, and he will live in his shadow...

But Cavani himself seemed unconcerned.

He said in an interview after moving to Napoli that he was satisfied with the move.

"...I am a fan of the hero, and I mean it. I like the way he plays football, very direct and powerful. He is so young and can score goals so much. It is amazing. He is my learning target... "

No one would have thought that Cavani's arrival would pave the way for Chen Yingxiong's departure. However, Chen Yingxiong knows in his heart that Naples is already preparing for his future departure. He will definitely finish this season. After this season, it is hard to say whether he can continue to stay in Naples.

This half-season will give Cavani time to adapt and gradually integrate into the team. It is indeed a very safe way.

※ ※ ※

Cavani had just transferred to the team and started playing for the team immediately.

On January 30, in the 22nd round of the league, Naples faced Sampdoria at home. Just before that, Chen Yingxiong accumulated four yellow cards and was automatically suspended for one game. Cavani started this game, replacing the suspended Chen Yingxiong.

Cavani's debut in Naples turned out to be perfect.

In his first appearance on behalf of Naples, he scored a goal for the team and helped the team beat Sampdoria 4:0 at home.

His outstanding performance relieved both Mazzarri and Bigon - buying Cavani was a gamble. Now it seems they made the right bet.

If this momentum continues, Cavani can perfectly fill the gap left by Chen Yingxiong's departure.

In this way, even if Chen Yingxiong leaves Naples after this season, Mazzarri has nothing to worry about. At the very least, his scoring ability is a bit poor, but it is enough for Naples...

Chen Yingxiong is already a wealthy center, while Cavani is only first-class, but Napoli is not a wealthy club at the moment, so it is better to use Cavani, and Cavani has potential and will grow in the future. And Naples will also grow, growing with the team.

Perhaps from this perspective, it is not necessarily true that Cavani is the center suitable for Naples?
