Chapter 36 Mazari's Multiple-choice Questions (Second Guarantee)

An away draw with Liverpool and scored the first Champions League points. For Naples, this is a good thing. After the game, the local media in Naples are also reporting the game. Chen Yingxiong, who scored an equalizer for the team in the game, naturally became the focus of the front page again.

His photos showing his tattoos and muscles on his back at Anfield Stadium also made many headlines in the Italian and Chinese media.

"The Chinese Hero Raises Anfield! 》

"At this moment Maradona's soul is possessed, and Chen Yingxiong leads the team to score a precious point! 》

Chinese media reports are naturally succulent and succulent.

There is also a sound of praise here in Italy.

"... Chen Yingxiong's performance is very good, he dedicated a wonderful second half at Anfield, the only regret is that he failed to seize more opportunities to expand the score..."

"Twenty-one-year-old Chen Yingxiong has an enviable body. When he took the impact of Scotter in the penalty area and scored the football into Renner's goal, he was almost not a human being!"

"In the contest with his former teammate Scott, Chen Yingxiong had the last laugh..."

To help the team score a point in the away game, Chen Yingxiong deserves these praises.

The Italian media are also used to giving him these praises.

No one said he was a nameless man anymore.

But Naples is a new player in the Champions League after all. They lack experience in two-line combat. They played a beautiful forty-five minutes away and drew with Liverpool. Back in the league, they were tied by Udinese at home. .

In this game, Chen Yingxiong did not start, but in the last fifteen minutes to replace Sarayeta, but did not score.

The whole team looked very tired, and he didn't do much alone.

Two-line combat is more than just a struggle.

"Obviously, Naples is still not used to fighting on the two fronts, especially when they play the Champions League at the same time, and the domestic league, they are still a little weak."

"Mazzari frankly admitted that the players did not perform well after the game, and it was related to the Champions League away game just in the middle of the week... This may be the difference between Naples and the giants. The giants have a very deep bench depth and a strong lineup. Can easily achieve rotation, and have enough experience to cope with such a scene, so that their performance will not be too different..."

"Mazzari has been rotating, and he has also rotated half of the starting lineup in this game. However, the gap between the substitutes and the main players is still very large... And, for a team like Naples, is the rotation necessary enough? The strength of the main lineup and the backup lineup is too large. Frequent rotation naturally means that the team has never been able to have a mature and stable lineup and tactics. Eleven players played well in one game, and the next game was taken apart. , How can you run into the team like this? Napoli’s current defense problem is very serious, almost losing the ball every field, which is related to Mazzari's arrangement. Rotation is necessary for those giants, but for Naples, there is only one lineup. As far as the team is concerned, it is really tasteless..."

The media is like this, it is also a draw, the away draw with Liverpool, the media blew Mazzari and his players to the sky.

When Udinese was tied at home, criticism came.

Mazari also felt the pressure.

He took over halfway through last season, and Naples was a waste of time, but no one puts Naples in his eyes, so it is relatively easy for Naples to rise.

This season, Naples was fourth in the league last season, and the team also had last season's league golden boots. It has entered the Champions League group stage, and naturally it has become a thorn in the eyes of many people. People who study Naples don't know how many people there are, and it's not easy to get good grades with just a push.

And... the media is right. A team like Naples really doesn't seem to be eligible for rotation...

At the beginning, he implemented a rotation, hoping to keep the two fronts when the players took turns to rest.

Now it seems that this is my own wishful thinking...

Naples does not have the experience and habits of rotation. In the past, Naples only needed to deal with domestic competitions. Last season, they were eliminated from the UEFA Cup early, so they rashly implemented the rotation. Instead, these players didn't know what to do.

My main lineup has just found the feeling of playing together, and they have been taken apart by a single rotation... and it's really not good. If this goes on, the bench lineup doesn't feel like it, and the main lineup is gone.

If you don't rotate, how long can you stick to a lineup? What if it’s the second half of the season and a big crash should happen to him?

It seems that I should make a choice... Should I specialize in the Champions League? Or keep the league?

In the first game of the Champions League, he discovered the mental potential of Naples. As a result, the team played well and drew Liverpool at Anfield. It seems that the team has a future in the Champions League. Mazzari really wants to lead Naples to a breakthrough in the Champions League and stay in history.

But if it drags down the league, it’s not so good. After all, the league is the root...

On September 23, Naples will play Inter Milan away. This is the fifth round of the league. Immediately after September 25, Naples played Siena at home again, which was the sixth round of the league. Then on September 29th, Naples returned home to play against Lyon, which was the second match of the Champions League group stage.

Playing three games in six days, an average of one game in two days, this intensity makes Mazzari a headache.

The team is definitely unable to show excellent state in these three games, and physical strength will also be affected.

A choice must be made at this time, is to abandon the league to protect the Champions League? Or give up the Champions League to play in the league?

Mazzari studied the league's schedule and the current ranking of the team. The league has only started four rounds. The team has two wins, one draw and one loss. The team is ranked sixth with seven points and is higher in the middle.

The current situation of the team is not bad, after all, the gap between the top four in the league is not much.

The league has 38 rounds, but what about the Champions League group stage? There are only six games.

Obviously, the fault tolerance rate of the Champions League group stage is much smaller than that of the league. If you lose a game, you may lose a season of the Champions League. But even if you lose two games in a row in the league, it does not necessarily mean that your team is empty-handed at the end of the season.

With such an analysis, this multiple-choice question is actually very easy to do.

Give up the league temporarily, but not permanently. At least when there is a Champions League game, temporarily give up the domestic league. When the UEFA Champions League game is over, focus on the domestic league.

So, should the game against Inter Milan be included in the list of waivers?

It stands to reason that there are still six days between this game and the Champions League group stage, and there is no need for a large rotation.

But after all, it is an away game to challenge Inter Milan. The two teams have been fighting constantly since last season, and the hatred is constantly escalating.

This road trip is definitely not a relaxing and romantic "Milan holiday".

Mazzari worries about the team's loss on the road-not for fear of losing, but for fear of injury to the main players. Because it is conceivable that the game against Inter Milan will definitely be fierce.

With Mourinho's character, his team style must be very tough. And Naples is not weak, the two strong fight, there must be a wound...

Mazari hesitated.

Chen Yingxiong didn't know that the coach experienced such a struggle before the game against Inter Milan. During this time, he became a popular man in the media, and many reporters came to interview him.

Because the match between Naples and Inter Milan is about to begin.

The clash between Naples and Inter Milan last season attracted a lot of attention.

The verbal battles between the two sides before and after the game were as exciting as the game, and it was so enjoyable to watch.

Naturally, this encounter will not be deserted anymore.

What's more, after the end of last season's game, Chen Yingxiong also issued an agreement to Mourinho.

"Double play" league defending champion!

This sentence was terrifying to death.

At that time, many people felt that this was pure anger, especially after seeing the performance of Mourinho's team in the new season, many people did not believe that Chen Yingxiong could complete this agreement.

From the 1-0 defeat of Bari in the first round of the league to the 2:1 away defeat of Cagliari in the fourth round of the league, Inter Milan maintained a record of victory in the domestic league and ranked first. In the Champions League group stage, the home scene against the powerful defending champion Barcelona, ​​they got a draw, 0:0, did not let the world's invincible Barcelona score a goal, this result is also remarkable.

Such a strong team, double kills? Or at home, you Chen Yingxiong, is this a joke?

If you insist on doing this, then you are mad...

"No, I'm not kidding. I am still thinking about this matter very seriously." Chen Yingxiong said in an interview with reporters.

Someone sighed--well, he was so frustrated...

"I know Inter Milan is very strong, and they are in good shape this season, but why can't we win?" Chen Yingxiong asked the reporter, but the group of reporters who asked were speechless.

Yes, why do we have to make such a vow that people can't win?

"Inter Milan is strong..." A reporter tried to refute.

"Last season we also won the powerful Inter Milan."

"This time they are at home... by the way, at home!" Someone among the reporters suddenly found confidence. "Since coaching Porto, he has not lost at home in the league! The home game is a must for Mourinho's team!"

Chen Yingxiong was a little surprised-this Mourinho is so awesome, he has never lost at home?

Seeing Chen Yingxiong's expression of surprise, the reporter was even happier. He said loudly: "From February 2002 to the present, in seven and a half years, 119 home games have remained unbeaten!"

Looking at him triumphantly, it seems that the man who made this great achievement was not Jose Mourinho, but himself...

Chen Yingxiong feels funny when he sees that person is so happy-you are not such an awesome person!

"Oh, that's amazing." Chen Yingxiong applauded. A group of reporters looked at each other and didn't know what it meant. Chen Yingxiong applauded alone at the scene. It didn't sound like it was congratulations, but it was like...sarcasm.

"But the record is used to break from the day it was born?"

After dropping such a sentence, Chen Yingxiong turned around and walked away unrestrainedly.

Leave a group of reporters, you look at me, I look at him, and finally everyone looks at Chen Yingxiong's back, really don't know what to say.
