Hero of the Penalty Area

Chapter 29 The Legend of the North (Second Guarantee)

Mazzari's first game after taking office came two days after he became the head coach of Naples. The short period of time made it impossible for him to rebuild the team's tactics according to his own ideas. So he followed Rhea's tactics and copied everything, nothing changed.

He even asked the players to play as they did before.

This disappointed Chen Yingxiong, who had great expectations for him at the beginning-if it is the same as before, what is the point of replacing you as the head coach? It's better to let Rhea stay there, at least the door of Lao Tzu's house has not been blocked for several days...

As the saying goes, "changing hands is like changing a knife," and a new head coach seems to have brought good luck. Without making any adjustments, and without changing the starting lineup, Napoli defeated Siena 2-0 at their home court.

In fact, it's just because everyone wants to perform desperately, leave a good impression on the new head coach, and be able to occupy a favorable position in the head of the head coach.

Chen Yingxiong worked hard. He scored a goal in the game, still using the corner kick tactics. Some Italian media have already given him a nickname "Mr. Corner Kick". I don't know if this is a satire or an alternative compliment...

Another goal scorer is Maggio.

Ravizi played for the first time and played for 75 minutes without a goal, despite his hard work.

After this game, the team stopped the downward trend, but Mazzari did not make any adjustments.

On December 13, in the sixteenth round of the league, Naples played against Lecce at home and the score was 3:0.

Chen Yingxiong scored two consecutive rounds. This time his goal was finally not scored with a set ball, but a long shot from outside the penalty area. He seems to be taking turns to show his goal-breaking weapon to the trusted coach. The previous round of the league showed a header, and this round turned into a long shot.

And his rival Lavezi on the front line continued to show no performance.

Ravizi is also anxious. He also wants to use his performance to make a good impression on the new head coach. But luck is not on his side...

In the game, he had a wonderful breakthrough and shot, and the football hit the goal post and hit the bottom line.

On December 18th, Napoli’s last UEFA Cup group match, because before that, Naples, which had only one point, had basically bid farewell to the UEFA Cup in advance, so in this game, Mazzari did not waste the main players. Physically, he lined up a bench to play, and players who usually didn't have much time on the court got the chance to play.

This Napoli played tenaciously, but after all, there is no hope of promotion, so in the end, it still lost 0:1 at home to metalist_kharkiv (metalist_kharkiv). In this way, the UEFA Cup journey ended with one draw and three losses.

The European war journey that people had high hopes for before, did not expect that it had just begun and ended.

Although it was decided long ago, many fans still feel sad when they say goodbye to Europe.

This time, there was no scolding or booing at the Sao Paulo Stadium. The harassment that had previously enveloped the Sao Paulo Stadium disappeared. Only sadness remained here.

It is not only the fans of Naples who are sad, but also the players of Naples.

Many players even cried.

Mazari can only comfort them one by one.

"Don't be sad, don't be sad. We will come again next year!"

On December 21st, the last league match before the Serie A winter break. Naples went away to challenge the "Red Bull" Turin.

In this game, Mazzari still did not make any adjustments to the team's starting lineup and tactics, so he took the team out.

He used Rhea's tactics and lineup for three consecutive games, which left everyone at a loss. Not only did the media find it weird, but the players were also puzzled. Did Mazzari find that only Rhea’s tactics are the most suitable for the current Naples? So what's the difference between doing this and Leah staying?

Or is he more capable of handling locker room relations than Rhea?

But looking at it so far, I haven't found any actions he has taken against the conflict between Chen Yingxiong and the Argentine Gang...

In such a puzzle, Naples expedition away, and then lost to Turin by a score of 0:1. The first half of the 2008-2009 season in Naples ended with a defeat.

The outside world doesn't know what Mazzari is doing. Only Mazzari's colleagues and his coaches in the Naples coaching staff know what the new head coach is doing.

He repeatedly studied the video of these games, and then compared with the player information he has. Sometimes he would discuss with them the tactics of the Rhea period, and then ask some questions. In addition, the information and game video of Arshavin, who is about to join the team during the winter break, are also on his desk.

Arshavin's characteristics are similar to those of Lavezi, his position and role on the court, as well as his playing style are almost the same.

What will Lavezzi do after he comes?

In fact, from the beginning, Mazari did not think that Lavezzi was a competitor of Chen Yingxiong, because the two positions were different. Rea let Ravizzi do the main breakup, in the final analysis, because he does not have a good center, Sarayeta is unbearable, Paul Sosa is old and limited.

It stands to reason that Chen Yingxiong's arrival should help Leia solve this problem. I don't think that Leia has formed a fixed mindset. He feels that the tactics have been grounded. The risk of re-modification is too great, and it is still the main force of Lavezi. Break up. However, Lavizzi's shooting level is very average, his characteristics are superb dribbling and use of speed to make a sharp breakthrough, as well as crosses from the side.

Mazzari believes that Lavezzi’s competitor should actually be Arshavin, who is about to join the team in the second half of the season. His arrival will inevitably squeeze Lavezzi’s living space.

So at first he wondered why Ravizie would have **** with Chen Yingxiong. Later, he learned that Chen Yingxiong's attitude towards Maradona angered Ravizzi, and the two of them had personal grievances.

There is no way...

Chen Yingxiong's performance in these league matches made Mazzari quite satisfied. Although the overall tactics were not built around him, he was still able to score six goals, which is already a very good result. In his position last season, Sarayeta played 22 times and only scored four goals. Ravizi played 35 times and only scored 11 goals. From this point of view, this striker is really like what he said himself-especially able to fight and score goals.

He suddenly felt sorry for Rhea-with such a good card in his hand, why didn't he know how to use it?

Mazzari observed four games, including three league games and one UEFA Cup group stage. A new tactic has basically taken shape in his mind.

The next step is to use the winter break camp to run the team.

He will suddenly change his tactics because, in a sense, this tactic is not much different from Rhea's tactics. It can be said that it has followed Rhea's tactical thinking, but made key adjustments in some places. So don't worry about the players not adapting, they are quite familiar. It can even be said that his tactics are a variant of Rhea's tactics.

In the second half of the season, Mazzari intends to change Naples to 343 to give full play to the scoring ability of Chen Yingxiong, a high center forward who is "particularly capable of fighting and scoring".

This also solves the problem of the coexistence of Arshavin and Lavezi.

For Chen Yingxiong, the 2008-2009 Serie A season was a very hard and chaotic half season for him.

On the one hand, he had to work hard to adapt to the Italian living environment, the food, living habits, language, and the poor traffic conditions in Naples. On the other hand, he has to work hard to adapt to the tactical characteristics of Italian football, so that he can run more in the game and prevent his opponents from being able to stare at him easily. In addition, he has to fight almost all of the Naples media, most of the Italian media, the fans of Naples, the stubborn head coach of his own, and his teammates.

Fight and fight again...

Under these circumstances, he still scored six league goals and one UEFA Cup goal.

In such a bad and chaotic half of the season, Chen Yingxiong suddenly found that he had risen to the next level in December!

Run to see the mission description, reminding him that he has completed two missions-"Re-elect the Golden Boot" and "Impossible Mission".

He won the Golden Boot of the Russian Premier League in the 2008 season!

He really won the Russian Premier League Golden Boot this season after only playing in eleven league rounds!

After seeing the prompts for the completion of these two tasks, Chen Yingxiong laughed in front of the computer.

Arshavin also called him, and he was excited about this, and told him vividly about the situation in Russia.

In the summer of 2008, Chen Yingxiong moved to Naples, and his competitor Pavlyuchenko in the league goalscorer also moved to Sparta Moscow and went to Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League. So even though Pavlyuchenko's goal state was good in the first half of the season, he also lost the opportunity to compete for the Golden Boot. Next, the entire Russian Super League will see the Brazilian center of CSKA Moscow start to explode, catching up with the aloof Chen Yingxiong.

A major theme of the Russian Premier League in the second half of the season is that the media are guessing whether Love can break Chen Yingxiong's goals and become the top scorer.

"You have become a benchmark for the best scorer, haha!" Arshavin laughed when he said this.

Chen Yingxiong also laughed, and this felt really refreshing-he was aloft, overlooking sentient beings crawling up like ants, he had an illusion of becoming a god.

Later, the St. Petersburg media appeared. Almost the entire Russian media encouraged the Brazilian, completely forgetting all the ridicule and discrimination they had against the black man before.

The CSKA Moscow team is also helping Love surpass Chen Yingxiong. For the Central Army, the name of Chen Yingxiong is their eternal pain. If his teammates can destroy Chen Yingxiong's dream of winning the Golden Boot, it will undoubtedly be a powerful counterattack.

So everyone watched that Love's goals continued to rise, approaching Chen Yingxiong's benchmark a little bit.

Finally stopped at the twentieth goal. In the last round of the league, Love tried his best, CSKA Moscow also tried his best, but no goal was born.

When the final whistle of the game sounded, the commentator Yuri Petrov shouted: "He really did it! He really did it! The top scorer in the league in 11 rounds! Twenty-one goals! Twenty-one goals! Twenty-one goals in the eleven rounds of the league. He has accomplished something that everyone could not even imagine before! It's incredible!!"

The "he" in Petrov's mouth is Chen Yingxiong.

Although Chen Yingxiong was in trouble in Italy, he is still a legend in Russia. After the end of the season, the St. Petersburg media praised Chen Yingxiong as a "Legend of the North" belonging to St. Petersburg.

The 2008 season of the Russian Super League has ended, and Chen Yingxiong's legend in Russia has also completely ended.

Next, it depends on whether he can write a legend of his own in Apennine...

***, Hero Chen’s epic mission in Russia has finally been completed. Next, let’s wait and see, Hero Chen will challenge the **** mission in Italy!
