Hero of the Penalty Area

Chapter 49: Grab Points Plan (First Guaranteed)

The question of whether Lavizzi will sell or not can be reconsidered, but the team's performance can no longer be considered.

If the team wants to qualify for the European Championship next season, they have to work hard from now on.

None of the top three in the north is a good bone to gnaw, and there are backbones such as Rome, Lazio, and Fiorentina, and every game with them is no less than a decisive battle.

Lavizzi can't leave for a while, and Mazzari doesn't care if the club sells this man or not, he has his own countermeasures. That is... put Lavezzi on the bench!

On February 8th, Naples challenged Palermo in an away game. Although Ravizi entered the 18th *** list, he did not enter the starting lineup. He sat on the bench.

Before the start of the game, the TV broadcast gave a close-up shot of Lavezzi on the bench. The face of Lavezzi in the lens was gloomy, and fools could see that his days in Naples were difficult.

"He must now be waiting for a boss with a generous shot to pay to rescue him from Naples... Just half a season ago, he was still a popular star in Naples. People have high hopes and are even considered to be able to The man who wore Maradona's No. 10 shirt in Naples. Now sitting on the bench, his fate is really strange."

"When Chen Yingxiong was in conflict with Leia, his state was fluctuating. Now it is Lavezi's turn to have a conflict with the new coach Mazzari, which will definitely affect his state..."

Mazzari arranged a goal for the team.

That is, the games that can be won must be won as much as possible, especially with those teams that are comparable to them. In today's Serie A, there are many teams that are comparable to them, and Palermo is one of them.

So this game must be won.

Since it is necessary to win, then the instability factor Lavezi will be excluded.

So although Mazzari brought the Argentine to the Rezzo Barbella Stadium, he did not let him start.

As for Ravizi's deadly opponent, Chen Yingxiong started the game. He and Arshavin and Hamsik made the offensive trident of the front court.

In the midfield, Mazzari arranged two defensive midfielders, Gargano and Blasi, and Maggio and Vitale on the wing.

Still sharp 343. Nowadays, there are very few teams that still insist on playing three guards, because the three guards are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, and it is easy to lose sight of the other when defending.

But Mazari is now unable to change this situation. He can only hope for the attacking lineup of Naples now.

Arshavin and Chen Yingxiong have proven their abilities. He now feels that the most correct thing the boss has done is to bring these two people to Naples at the same time, so that he saves a lot of trouble. Chen Yingxiong and Arshavin are the team’s main attacking combination in Zenit. Their combination has scored a lot of goals for the team. Now he almost copied this combination directly, and the effect will naturally not be possible. Too bad.

"I'll show you the show." Before the game, Mazzari told the players in Naples of his plan. "We were not very successful in the first half of this season. I don't want the team to be empty-handed this season. We participated in the UEFA Cup this season. I believe everyone hopes that the team can often participate in European games. So I plan to let The team will at least qualify for the UEFA Cup at the end of this season. For this reason, we have to work hard to score points in the remaining games. Of course, this is my plan. Whether it can be achieved depends on you. ."

"So, from the beginning of this game, we have to try our best to score points against our opponents, especially those teams that are not much different from our strength. Especially...I don't want us to commit the same as the previous round of the league. It's wrong."

Although he didn't look at Lavizzi, Lavizzi's face was not good-looking, he knew that this was criticizing himself insinuatingly.

This made him firm in his determination to leave this team.

No matter how much he admires Maradona, no matter how he wants to wear Maradona's No. 10 jersey in Naples, these are trivial in the face of his career prospects. If he can't get the career he wants in Naples, then he will choose to leave without hesitation.

"That's all I have to say. Then, let's go to the game next, gentlemen!"

"How similar is this scene! Everyone must remember the last round, when Naples played Udinese at home? But this time, it was Naples who was behind by two goals! Palermo took just fourteen minutes into the game. A two-goal lead! It's incredible... Palermo's start was so smooth and perfect!"

"Only two minutes into the game, they scored a goal by Migliaccio (giulio_migliaccio). In the fourteenth minute, they had Simplicio (fabio_enrique_simplicio) for the team to make another victory! Two goals! After taking the lead, they will be able to play this game easily, again on their home court..."

"Naples once again encountered a situation of two goals behind. Last time they relied on Chen Yingxiong's single-person outbreak to complete a big reversal. Can they still count on Chen Yingxiong this time?"

Fortunately, they don't have to count on Chen Yingxiong for the time being, because Hamsik helped the team get a goal in the 43rd minute.

Entering the intermission with a score of 1:2 is better than 0:2.

The eleven Naples starters who returned to the locker room were a little frustrated. Because they heard the head coach's words before the game, they are also full of hope for returning to Europe next season. They feel that if they start to grab points from now, there is still a scene.

I don't think... it was only two minutes before the ball was lost. This loss completely disrupted the mood of the Napoli players.

Immediately following the fourteenth minute, Palermo took a two-goal lead, and the situation became very unfavorable for them.

Their performance in the first half was not good, if it weren't for Hamsik to get a goal in the 43rd minute, I'm afraid the situation would be worse.

But to their surprise, the head coach Mazzari did not blame the team, he just told the players that their performance in the first half was actually very good, but bad luck. Should continue to play like this in the second half.

This sentence greatly encouraged the confidence of the players. Suddenly the self-doubt that was full of frustration disappeared. Instead, everyone began to eagerly want the second half to begin.

"We are just one goal behind! What are you afraid of?" Paul Cannavaro, the captain of the team, stood up in the locker room, clapped his hands and cheered loudly. "Like Rome, we are two goals behind, and we won in the end! We are not afraid of Rome, are we afraid of Palermo?"

The teammates responded enthusiastically to the captain with cheers and whistles.

Ravizzi felt uncomfortable again when he heard the captain mentioned the game in Rome...

But at this time, no one cares about his feelings anymore. Even his loyal ally, Gargano, yelled with Cannavaro to boost morale.

The atmosphere in the entire dressing room was as fierce as roasting on the fire.

So, when such a group of people rushed into the locker room and rushed to the court, one can imagine what kind of trouble their opponents will encounter...

Assistant coach Fabio Viviani smiled at Mazzari: "You really have a trick, Walter!"

Mazzari pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose: "I think after a terrible first half of the season, the players of this team are all vulnerable. They need encouragement rather than criticism."

Viviani has worked with Rhea for many years, but he also has to admit that Mazzari is indeed better than Rhea in handling the locker room relationship. In Naples today, Mazzari has a very good relationship with most of the players. They look like friends, not like the relationship between coaches and players. Rhea is a typical coach. He handles player relations according to the old rules, which will naturally make the players of the new era feel very awkward and uncomfortable. The two concepts are not in harmony, and conflicts are normal...

Viviani always believes that Naples is not weak. If it were not for the double half of the season, it would have been affected by many non-football factors, such as the relationship between the players and Rhea, and the conflicts between the players in the dressing room... Naples absolutely Will not be reduced to where it is today.

But after working with Mazzari for more than two months, he regained his confidence.

Naples, under the leadership of this person, may really improve.

Once, he was also very dissatisfied with the club chairman's dismissal of Rea, but now, he has acquiesced to the fact that Mazari is more suitable for Naples than Rea...

When the Naples players walked back onto the court, they had a 15-minute break, not just them, but also the Palermo fans in the stands. They renewed their huge cheers to remind Naples-we are ahead of you at home!

They want to use this to put pressure on the Napoli players, but it is clear that they have no effect on the Napoli players.

Chen Yingxiong and Arshavin stood in the center circle, waiting for the kick-off-they kicked off in the second half. Palermo kicked off in the first half. They were also carefully planned to make full use of their advantage of kicking off first and scored in just two minutes...

Chen Yingxiong dreamed of Palermo's goal from a distance, and now it is empty.

The home team "played a big game" and did not come out, but the enthusiastic Napoli players came out early.

Arshavin frowned when Chen Yingxiong had been staring at the goal over there, and asked curiously, "What do you think, Hero?"

Chen Yingxiong glanced at Arshavin, then cast his gaze again. "I was thinking... You said, when I kicked off in the second half, I shot directly from here... how about it?"
