Hero of the Penalty Area

Chapter 33 We are Naples! (The guarantee is the first one, monthly pass~~)

Looking at a room of surprised people, Mazzari repeated: "Yes, I apologize to you guys. I have to apologize to you. Everyone knows that our tactics in this game are defensive counterattacks, and we have done a lot for this. Prepared, studied the opponent's tactics, and showed you many times of their game videos. We have been training against them for this period of time... But on the court, our performance was terrible. Do you want to know why?"

A group of people looked at the head coach suspiciously.

Professional football has a clear division of labor. Players just play and the head coach is responsible for telling them how to play. Therefore, even if many players have superb skills, they may not think so many things in their minds. They just listen to the arrangements of the head coach.

"I ask you, what do you think of the city of Naples?"

The head coach doesn't talk about tactics or strategy, so how can it cause the local customs? Viviani can only be secretly anxious, and dare not remind him, after all, the head coach is the biggest in the locker room. He has absolute authority, assistant coach? It's not a fart here, that is, there is still a bit of status on the training ground.

There are many coaches who have all kinds of quirks. For example, Bianchi, the famous head coach of Argentina, forbids his assistant coach to listen to his speech to the team in the locker room. So when his team was before the game, the assistant coach and others all had to be kicked out, leaving him as the head coach in the locker room, facing a dozen players who were ready to play.

But no one will be dissatisfied with this, because the head coach has this power. In a place so sacred and full of superstition in the locker room, the head coach has his own quirks, which everyone understands.

Everyone looked at each other, wondering what medicine the head coach was selling in the gourd. No one is willing to answer.

Mazzari directly ordered his troops.

"Hero, talk about it."

Chen Yingxiong's character is lively and carefree. It seems that there is nothing to make him feel restrained. It is quite appropriate for him to do this kind of prominence.

"Uh, the people here are very enthusiastic, open, and of course very cunning... The traffic is not very good, it's chaotic, but the city scenery is beautiful..." Chen Yingxiong scratched his head and replied. In fact, he doesn't know why the coach wants to ask this, but he still told his impression of the city. "Oh, yes, the people here are very, very passionate!" He thought of the fan riots at the beginning, and because of his own words, he dared to fight the police on the street, overturning police cars, and throwing stones. , Assaulting the police's refusal...

If you are not passionate, you can't do this kind of thing.

Mazzari nodded, satisfied with Chen Yingxiong's answer: "The hero is right, guys. Naples is a passionate city. So, Naples football should be the same, full of passion!"

He opened his arms as if to embrace the passion.

"But I made a mistake. I asked you to deal with your opponents carefully, but obviously, this is not Naples football, nor is this football that you adapt to. So I have to apologize to you, the bad situation in the first half, no Your responsibility is the responsibility of my head coach."

Mazzari said it very sincerely, not like an impromptu speech to inspire the players' fighting spirit-although the thing can also achieve miraculous effects, it can be used a few times for the players to have immunity. Today's players are not the dumb and silly players who had little knowledge a few decades ago.

"But I think this may be an opportunity, an opportunity to reshape our style and spirit in Naples. Guys. Although we got fourth in the league last season, what I want to say is that we have a lot of luck. Luckily. It’s rare for such a thing to happen once. It’s wishful thinking to expect more times. There is no such good thing in the world. We need something to make our victory justified... This thing is our spirit and style!"

"Naples is a city full of enthusiasm and enthusiasm. Football here should be the same as its fans. This is the football that Naples people want to see and the football that is most suitable for Naples. From the time of Maradona. , That’s how we came here. After a lap in the third division, we seemed to forget it. Now, I think it’s a great thing to meet Liverpool in the first Champions League group match after rebirth. Let’s get back what we’ve lost, guys! Naples in the Maradona era is a team that runs sideways throughout Europe. No one of them has ever been afraid of it. The name of Naples that you are proud of now!"

The more Mazzari said, the more excited he became, and finally he became impassioned.

Even Chen Yingxiong was infected by his emotions and words, and he lowered his head and remembered something. He once said that Naples wanted to rebuild its glory, and it had to get rid of Maradona's shadow completely. Now it seems that he is abrupt... because there are some things that you can't get rid of anyway, and those things are inherited from that era. Coming over, they had nothing to do with Maradona for a long time. They became the proud thing of this club and this team, which people call "tradition".

Naples tradition...

This thing, Chen Yingxiong hadn't thought about it before. He knew very little about Naples before. He was limited to knowing that Maradona played for this team and was famous for it. As for other things, he didn't know anything.

That's why he said that.

Why are there so many fans against him, even those with a moderate attitude? Perhaps it was because it was not Maradona that I inadvertently offended, but the name Naples...

It is said that Maradona is a **** in the eyes of the Neapolitans, but for this god, the Neapolitans are not always obedient. There is one thing to testify-there have been rumors that because of Maradona, Naples betrayed their country when Argentina fought against Italy in the 1990 World Cup semi-finals, and collectively cheered for the Argentine team. This incident is widely spread, and it serves as a great proof that Maradona is the true God of Naples.

But this is a rumor.

The truth is that when the semifinals between Argentina and Italy were decided to be held in Naples, Maradona relied on his great popularity in Naples and called on Naples fans to cheer for Argentina during the game, rather than for Italy.

But the result? During the game, the Naples fans dedicated their biggest boos to the superstar they regarded as the gods.

Yes, a very spectacular scene, just like the treatment Chen Yingxiong had just enjoyed when he played at home in Naples.

These people love Maradona, but they love Naples even more.

——These things are Chen Yingxiong after joining Naples. As the contact with people here increases, he hears and sees bit by bit. Together, he has formed an impression of Naples.

Mazzari's impassioned voice still echoed in the dressing room, impacting everyone's eardrums and heart. Some players who have deep feelings for this team have even clenched their fists, their mouths are muttering something, and the muscles on their faces are twisted with excitement and excitement.

"We are not afraid of Liverpool, because we are Naples, even if this is at Anfield, the temple in their minds, we are not afraid of them! Now that we are back in the European arena, we must revive the banner of Naples and let The whole of Europe knows—"

Mazzari paused here, and he took a deep breath.

"We are back! Naples is back!"

※※※

When Chen Yingxiong walked to the court from the player's passage again, he saw the metal plaque hanging above the lintel of the visiting team's passage.

"This is Anfield!"

It was like Liverpool's legendary coach Shankly opened his eyes wide, demonstrating to every opponent who walked to the stadium from here.

That old man did this, that's how he thought. I want every Liverpool opponent to know how this stadium is different, and how their opponents are different.

The truth is repeated thousands of times when saying a lie. If this sentence is repeated tens of thousands of times, there is naturally some kind of psychological hint. When many teams came to this stadium, they just saw this sentence, and they would feel stagnant, as if they really felt the majesty of the great Red Army.

This has become a legend.

After the legend was magnified, it in turn promoted Liverpool's winning percentage at home. Many teams regard this as a **** field. Charlton has only won once at this stadium in the past 50 years, and Newcastle has only tasted the sweetness of being a guest at Anfield in the past 60 years.

Chen Yingxiong stopped suddenly.

Anfield stadium is an old stadium, the player channel is not wide, but very narrow. Chen Yingxiong was a tall man and walked in the forefront again. When he stopped, the other teammates were blocked by him. Everyone can't leave, just like a traffic jam, they are stuck here.

Everyone was very strange and turned their attention to Chen Yingxiong.

But Chen Yingxiong looked up at the words on the metal sign.

Captain Paul Cannavaro squeezed in front and patted Chen Yingxiong: "Why aren't you leaving, hero?"

Chen Yingxiong raised his hand to the metal nameplate.

"This is Anfield." He said to everyone.

But everyone knows this sentence. He is not the only one who can speak English. Moreover, this sentence is so famous, how could they not know it?

Chen Yingxiong stretched his arms, and then pressed his palm on the sign with a "pop".

"And we are Naples!"

He raised his head and said.

Hello, Anfield, Naples is here to visit!
