Chapter 223 Manchester United must die! (Second update guaranteed, please vote for me!)
Due to a decisive battle with Manchester United at Old Trafford, Mazzarri had to temporarily give up the domestic league. In the thirty-fifth round of the league, Naples faced Genoa at home, and Mazzarri sent in the vast majority of substitute players.
Even though he knew that Chen Yingxiong was only one goal away from catching up with Nordahl's record, Mazzarri was not particularly merciful and allowed Chen Yingxiong to start. Instead, Cavani was allowed to start.
Most of the main players have got some rest time. They will go to Manchester United to challenge a powerful opponent in midweek. It is impossible not to rest.
Also to avoid injury.
Mazzarrico still remembers the last stage of last season, when Cassano was injured, Hero was suspended, Ranocchia was also injured, and serious injuries occurred one after another.
He didn't want to suffer such misfortune in the final stage of this season.
In the end, at their home court, Naples relied on Zuniga's goal to defeat Genoa 1:0.
In the second day of the league, AC Milan also defeated Bologna 1:0 at home.
The two sides are still only two points apart.
Naples is currently ranked first.

On May 3rd, the highly anticipated second leg of the El Clasico began. In the end, Barcelona tied with Real Madrid 1:1 at their home court, and eliminated Real Madrid with a total score of 3:1 to advance to the final.
Chen Yingxiong was in a good mood watching the TV broadcast in his hotel in Manchester.
Barcelona advanced and Messi had yet to score. Now Messi is still one goal ahead of himself, and such a small gap is simply not worth mentioning to him.
Mourinho's team failed to complete the reversal - in fact, this was what he expected. Just after the first round, Mourinho said that some people in UEFA wanted his team to win. The ball asked seven "whys" in a row, which angered UEFA and reportedly wanted to ban him.
But for Mourinho, this season is still not a failure, because he led Real Madrid to victory in the Copa del Rey.
It was Barcelona who Real Madrid defeated in the Copa del Rey final.
It’s not like I’m completely at a disadvantage...
Barcelona's promotion made Chen Yingxiong full of fighting spirit. In his opinion, Manchester United must die now.
In fact, not only Chen Yingxiong, but also many teammates gathered in the room where Chen Yingxiong was, and everyone watched the game together.
When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, everyone jumped up, raised their arms and shouted.
If outsiders saw this, they would think they were a group of loyal Barcelona fans...
"Well done! Now we have the possibility of revenge!"
"I'm going to kill them with my own hands!"
"We must show Barcelona how good we are!"
Everyone cheered.
Chen Yingxiong simply stood on the bed, waved his arms and shouted: "If we can defeat Manchester United, we can go to Wembley for revenge, guys! So... Manchester United must die!"
"Manchester United must die!"
"Manchester United must die!!"
"Manchester United must die -!!!"
A group of people roared at the top of their lungs.

After the game, the Catalan media conducted a survey - who do you want Barcelona to face in the final. As a result, more than half of Barcelona fans want Manchester United to advance.
Obviously, this is because Barcelona fans hate Napoli too much and do not want them to advance to the final. No one wants to make life easier for their mortal enemy, right?
But when this matter reached Chen Yingxiong's ears, a brand new explanation was born.
"I'm very happy that Barcelona fans finally know that they are afraid of us. They are afraid of playing us in the final because they know that we can definitely beat them! Just like they know that I can definitely beat Messi and be elected the best player in the Champions League this season. Same as Sagittarius. It’s just that they refuse to admit it. I bet if they heard what I said, they would get angry and ridicule me, but I don’t care. The more they act like this, the more it shows how much fear they have in their hearts. ." Chen Yingxiong told reporters after adapting to field training.
Sure enough, when the Catalan media heard this, they were met with fierce ridicule and ridicule. Of course, their reason is that Chen Yingxiong is too shameless... and has nothing to do with our inner fears.
Chen Yingxiong ignored the media's ridicule and ridicule, because he knew that only with absolute performance and results on the court, it would be more powerful to slap others in the face off the court.
Besides, he already knew the best way to slap someone in the face. He had been preparing for that moment for a year. After a year's anger, he was about to vent it all at Wembley Stadium. He wanted the people of Barcelona to see the Mount Vesuvius that once swallowed the ancient city of Pompeii. How powerful it is when it explodes!

Since the first leg, Mazzarri has been thinking about how to win the game at Old Trafford.
In the group stage, Naples almost tied their opponent with only one goal. But that was just an accident. You can't always expect your team to explode in the second half and chase two or three goals in a row. Just like Manchester United, they don't think that as long as they return to their home court, they will be able to score three goals in the first half to seal the victory.
That game was an exception and had absolutely no reference value.
The latest news from Manchester shows that Rio Ferdinand, who was sent off with a red card, will definitely not be able to play. There is no doubt that Park Ji-sung will be able to play, but it is not easy to say.
At least Park Ji-sung did not play in the Premier League over the weekend.
Ferguson also did not indicate that Park Ji-sung would be able to play.
Some English media said that Park Ji-sung's injury was more serious than everyone thought. He may have suffered a concussion and was accompanied by slight vomiting... In short, it is impossible to play.
Park Ji-sung is the kind of person who can play a big role in tough battles, because his spirit of never giving up the game until the last second can inspire the whole team, and he can always create miracles.
If Park Ji-sung really can't play, this should be good news for Mazzarri.
He felt that he could not attack Manchester United at Manchester United's home court because defense was not what Naples was good at.
In the total score, Naples has a 2:1 lead, so the anxious one should be Manchester United.
He has decided to choose a safer tactic at Old Trafford, focusing on defensive counterattacks.
Leave Chen Yingxiong alone in the frontcourt, and then station troops in the backcourt. If there is an opportunity, he will directly pass the ball to the front, giving full play to Chen Yingxiong's role as an offensive bridgehead.
In this way, as long as Naples does not concede a goal in the first half, the chances of Naples advancing to the final will be greatly increased.
Therefore, in the past few days, Naples' training has been focused on defense. In offense, they also mainly practice various counterattack routines, such as crosses from the wing, direct long passes from the backcourt to find Chen Yingxiong... all kinds of things.

On the afternoon of May 4th, the entire Naples team boarded the bus and drove to Old Trafford.
Sitting on the bus, the atmosphere of the Champions League semi-finals was already very strong. On the road leading to Old Trafford, the trees and lampposts on both sides were hung with the flags of the Champions League and the participating teams.
On the road, you can see home team fans wearing red Manchester United jerseys everywhere. There are quite a few of them. They are definitely not "groups of three or five", but a huge flow of people who don't know how many people have gathered together.
And it's easy to tell which ones are organized fan groups and which ones are individual fans.
Those people who gathered together and sang songs in unison as they walked to the stadium were obviously fans. The number of such fan groups is very large, and individual visitors are very few.
Looking at the crowd, someone on the bus said: "I guess the whole of Manchester is our enemy..."
"Wrong. Half of Manchester supports us." Chen Yingxiong said.
"Half Manchester?" The person who spoke before was the team's main center back Ranocchia, and he was a little confused.
"Manchester City fans. Have you forgotten? They definitely don't want Manchester United to win, right?"
There was a burst of laughter in the carriage. Yes, Manchester City fans will not want Manchester United to have it easier than them.
In fact, some Manchester City fans actually came to Old Trafford to watch the game this time. Of course, they were not here to cheer for their rivals in the same city. They did not have such noble sentiments and did not think that everyone could represent them. In the city of Manchester, it is natural to tear each other down and yell at each other. They are here to cheer Napoli on.
On the one hand, it is because they are mortal enemies with Manchester United and do not want their mortal enemy to have an easy life. If Manchester United is eliminated, they will never pretend to be rational and say anything. "In this season when the Champions League final was held at Wembley Stadium, Manchester United was eliminated. Elimination is definitely a tragedy for English football. At this moment, we are not Manchester City fans, we are England fans." If this is not the case, they will only laugh at Manchester United, who were eliminated by Naples, and rub salt on their wounds.
Another reason is a bit far-fetched, but it can also be considered as the reason for Manchester City to support Naples in this game - Manchester City's home jersey is sky blue, and Naples' home jersey is also sky blue, but the shade of blue The degree is not the same, but they are all blue. Since they are all blue, they are one family...
Therefore, when the players later saw some fans wearing Manchester City jerseys outside the stadium, they were not surprised - the hero really got it right!
And when the players saw clearly the slogans on the banners held by the Manchester City fans, they all laughed.
I dare both parties to think of going together!
These Manchester City fans openly used such slogans to provoke each other in front of Manchester United fans, proving that the relationship between the two clubs is very normal.
The banner reads:
"To Napoli: Manchester United must die!"
