Chapter 217 Raoul’s advice (Second update, please vote for me!)

In fact, UEFA is also very aware of the gimmick of Chen Yingxiong and Messi competing. Otherwise, they have played four games in the knockout rounds of the Champions League. How come Naples didn't encounter any obstacles along the way?

It's not like last season. Both the quarter-finals and the quarter-finals encountered tricks.

Whether they are drawn to Lyon or Inter Milan this season, it is normal and not deliberately targeting Naples.

Because UEFA also knows very well that whether they want it or not, the competition between Chen Yingxiong and Messi has been created. And it's clear that the media, broadcasters and sponsors, as well as fans, want to see this feud continue.

What do these concerns mean? It means banknotes!

Even if some people in UEFA, even Platini, dislike Chen Yingxiong, they won't have trouble with money, right?

Therefore, they did not make any moves in private regarding the upgrade of Naples. Just like other games, they just proceed normally according to the rules of football.

For example, the ongoing match between Naples and Manchester United at home is normal.

Even fifteen minutes into the game, the referee called Manchester United more fouls than Naples.

But this is normal. After all, Naples is playing at home, and the referee will take this factor into account to some extent. Some innocuous fouls, or fouls that both parties are responsible for, will call Manchester United a foul.

So from the current point of view, this game is a very normal game.

The score is also normal, Manchester United leads Naples 1:0.

etc!

Something doesn't seem normal, right?

This is Naples’ home ground! Even if Naples is worse than Manchester United in terms of overall strength, it's not like they scored a goal first in fifteen minutes at their home court, right?

But this is the fact, whether it is on the scoreboard at the Sao Paulo Stadium or on the broadcast screens of various television broadcast agencies, it is shown this way - Naples trailed Manchester United 0:1 at home.

Naples' offensive was overwhelming, and the Naples fans in the stands also gave out huge shouts to cheer for the team.

Just looking at this appearance, it seems that Naples is ahead. In fact, this is not the case. Naples attacked so fiercely because they were falling behind and they wanted to equalize the score as soon as possible.

Mazzarri stood on the sidelines, with his hands folded across his chest and his face ashen.

This game was too late. In the first ten minutes, Manchester United scored a goal. And the reason? It was precisely because Naples was too confident at home and pressed hard with nothing behind them, allowing Manchester United to seize this opportunity.

When he saw Rooney kick the football into DeSanctis' goal, he realized what was going on.

Before, he was wondering why Manchester United had no intention of shrinking its defense. It turned out that they had no intention of doing so at all! They are planning to score a goal! Get away goals!

In fact, this is not a clever strategy, anyone can think of it. Mazzarri had to admit that he had fallen into a psychological misunderstanding. He believed that as long as the visiting team was playing at the Sao Paulo Stadium, they should defend it from the beginning to avoid conceding the ball first. As for other purposes, it should be done slowly without conceding the ball. Of the. Unexpectedly, Manchester United completely broke the rules and played away goals from the beginning of the game.

The reason why such a psychological misunderstanding occurs is, to put it bluntly, because he is a bit blindly arrogant.

This is a very dangerous signal. Naples had easily solved the previous two opponents and led the league standings in the domestic league. All of this made Mazzarri feel that it was no big deal. Naples was enough to cope with any opponent and any situation.

Although he had always been careful not to let himself be too proud, this elated mood still affected him unconsciously.

And it was so hidden that even he himself didn't know it.

This loss of the ball made him alert. He couldn't continue to be so restless. As a head coach, he was already in a restless mood. Where were the players?

It's just that it seems a little late to think about this issue now. The game has started, and it is still a home game. If this round of the game is ultimately lost, then it will be even worse to go to the away game.

It’s not too late to make amends, but now it’s probably too late to even make amends…

Mazzarri stood in the command area on the side of the court, his face ashen as he considered the worst possible outcome for the team.

The more I think about it, the colder I feel.

Logically speaking, reaching the semi-finals should be a great achievement for Naples. He has completed a historic mission. But people are always greedy, especially after seeing a bigger stage, how can they still hold in their hearts those unattainable goals? The bigger the stage, the bigger people's dreams. This is human nature, and few people can maintain their true nature under the temptation of the colorful world.

Not to mention that he had a chat with Chen Yingxiong the night before the game and learned about this man's ambitions.

Now Mazzarri just wants to lead the team to the final, and then win the European Champions League and leave his name in history...

The goal is lofty, but the means must be realistic.

The least he could do was find a way to win this game first.

How can we win?

Of course, we must put an end to this practice of completely ignoring the space behind our butts. This style of play looks quite impressive and the fans like it, but he doesn't like it because it's too risky. If Manchester United seizes the opportunity to get one more, there will be no suspense in this game... no, not even the second round of the game will be in suspense.

Taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, Mazzarri informed Hamsik of his adjustments, who then relayed them to the players.

"Slow down the offensive pace and strengthen defense?" Chen Yingxiong was surprised when he heard what Hamsik told him.

This was Mazzarri's adjustment. What he was most worried about was the few minutes and ten minutes he just lost the ball. If Manchester United deliberately lured the enemy deeper and then launched a counterattack, Naples would be finished. As for Naples, they just lost a goal at home and gave the opponent an away goal. They all knew what that meant. So everyone is holding back their energy and wants to equalize the score as soon as possible. It is when their heads are hot, and it is very possible for that kind of situation to happen...

Therefore, Mazzarri planned to suppress the team's anger and calm them down. Anyway, the game was still very long, and this ball was already lost. Instead of regretting and being upset about why this ball was lost, it is better to think about how to avoid losing more. ball.

Hamsik did not explain the purpose and thoughts of the head coach's adjustment to Chen Yingxiong. He ran to convey the head coach's latest instructions to the next teammate.

However, Raul next to him was experienced and could see through the head coach's intentions at a glance. He came up to explain the joints to Chen Yingxiong.

He's not very fluent in Italian yet, but he can barely handle communication on the football field.

Under his explanation with words and gestures, Chen Yingxiong finally understood what was going on.

He has never considered the connection between the team's conceding goals and this violent attack. He just feels that the more violent the attack, the greater the chance of scoring... From this perspective, he is really not a head coach. ah. But that's not necessarily the case. The hero is only twenty-two years old now, and it's still very early for him to retire and get his head started.

"So, there will be fewer chances to score goals?" Chen Yingxiong frowned and touched his chin. He still hoped to help the team equalize the score as soon as possible, so that the pressure on everyone would be much less, right? He knew that Mazzarri did this to prevent conceding the ball, but if the score could be equalized as soon as possible, the morale and strength balance between the two sides would change upside down.

Raul smiled: "Hero, do you know why I am the top scorer in the Champions League?"

Chen Yingxiong felt a little confused. Does my question have anything to do with whether you are the top scorer in the Champions League?

He shook his head blankly.

"For a good enough shooter, the opportunity to score goals is not something you wait for, but something you find yourself." Raul said.

When Chen Yingxiong heard it at first glance, he felt that this sentence sounded familiar. He seemed to have heard it somewhere... By the way, he remembered it. When I was learning to run without the ball from Inzaghi in the dungeon, he said something similar to this.

"If we want to recycle, it means that Manchester United's offense is going to pick up. And if Manchester United's offense is going to pick up, they won't be able to maintain a defensive posture with so many people in the backcourt. So, in fact, there may not be less opportunities." Raul warned. Chen Yingxiong.

Only then did he realize that there was really a big gap between him and veterans like Raul and Inzaghi...

"Thank you, Raul." Chen Yingxiong sincerely thanked the other party for his advice.

Raul patted him on the shoulder: "I've played with you for almost a season, and I'm very optimistic about you, hero. Maybe it won't be long before I, the top scorer, give way."

Yes, Raul played for the Real Madrid first team in La Liga for the first time on October 29, 1994, and his first appearance in the Champions League was in the UEFA Champions League group stage of the 1995-1996 season, away from home against Albiceleste. Jax's game. The first goal and the third goal both came in the same game - in Real Madrid's 6:1 home sweep of Ferencvaros, Raul, who made his first Champions League appearance at the Bernabeu Stadium, scored a hat-trick Magic, since then, the legend of an evergreen tree in the Champions League has officially begun.

But it took him fifteen years to score 72 goals. What about Chen Yingxiong? The two seasons are not over yet, and he has already scored 20 goals. If this momentum continues, it is really only a matter of time before Chen Yingxiong surpasses Raul.

Chen Yingxiong laughed when he heard Raoul giving himself such high praise and expectations.

"Go, hero. Go and look for opportunities to score goals. I will help you if necessary." After that, Raul turned and ran away.

Chen Yingxiong glanced at the back of Naples No. 7 and ran to his own position.

Manchester United took the lead at our home ground, with an away goal, and it was a really difficult game for Napoli.

Now Naples head coach Mazzarri requires the team to shrink the defense and pay attention to the space behind them, so that there is less support for the offense. Although there was still more time, it might not be better to equalize the score early, but he received less support.

But there was another fire burning in Chen Yingxiong's heart.

I want to try such a difficult thing!
