Chapter 216 The biggest gimmick in the Champions League

(first update, please give me a monthly vote!)

PS, the two-day outbreak has officially begun, please ***!

Never fall from the top ten of the total list again!!

Manchester United are not unfamiliar with Napoli at all, because they have already fought twice in the group stage.

When they met in the group stage, they never expected that they would have the chance to meet again in the semi-finals.

But that's good, this saves a lot of things about collecting intelligence and getting to know your opponents.

Overall, Manchester United is very familiar with Napoli. They have already analyzed Napoli when they played against the group stage. The only person who has not analyzed is Chen Yingxiong, who was suspended.

And Chen Yingxiong doesn’t need to know much. If there are still people in Europe who don’t know much about Chen Yingxiong, then he must have nothing to do with football.

Anyone who is engaged in the football industry or who likes football is watching Chen Yingxiong.

In fact, since some time ago, there have been more and more questions about Chen Yingxiong.

If Bigan hadn't learned the truth from De Laurentis in advance, he would have been shocked.

Because those teams asking for prices include many world-renowned clubs. In Italy, Inter Milan has the strongest interest. In Spain, there have been rumors that Mourinho admires Chen Yingxiong very much, and repeatedly said that Real Madrid needs a center forward with a header and able to hold the ball in the penalty area. Isn’t this just instigating Real Madrid’s senior management to buy Chen Yingxiong?

News from the Premier League is that Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester City are all interested in Chen Yingxiong.

As for those mid-range teams, there are more interests, and there are so many that they are not worth mentioning.

Bigan's answers to the clubs that came to ask for the price were all - "Heroes are not sold in Naples!"

Be confident and confident.

In fact, he knew that the hero already belonged to Liverpool...

Ferguson has made great efforts to study Chen Yingxiong, and he also knows that this is a player who is in line with the characteristics of modern football and has the ability of classical centers. It is naturally normal for such a player to score so many goals.

The characteristics of modern football are very demanding on running positions. In addition to scoring goals, the center also needs to shoulder other tasks. Chen Yingxiong can do these things. However, there are no shortages of centers that meet the requirements of modern football now, but fewer and fewer people with the characteristics of classical centers...

The centers of modern football are represented by Ibrahimovic. They are tall and big, but they don’t like to head the ball very much, or they are not good at heading the ball at all. Their foot skills are quite outstanding. They are not strong, or they are strong but they don’t like to use their bodies, but prefer to use technology to solve problems. Such centers do not like to always stay in the penalty area and in front of the goal, and their running positions are very flexible. They can be seen active in the middle and sideways.

However, this type of center forward has generally poor attacking ability.

Chen Yingxiong is completely different. He can run flexibly and have technical support to his feet. At the same time, the most important thing is that he is strong and has excellent heading. He likes to move in front of the goal. He is not afraid of fighting with a strong central defender to compete for his body and strength. No matter how many defensive players there are, he will move forward bravely.

There are fewer and fewer such centers in modern football. Either they have excellent skills under their feet but are not good at using their bodies. They always suffer losses in physical confrontation in the penalty area; or they have a strong body and good heading ability, but their feet are too rough.

If he hadn't made up his mind to straighten Rooney, Ferguson might have really had the heart to run to compete with other teams for heroes.

How should I deal with Chen Yingxiong after knowing him?

Ferguson carefully studied Chen Yingxiong's goals and found that most of them were headers, which means that Napoli's tactics are mainly crossed from the wing.

So if you want to freeze Chen Yingxiong, you have to start from the entire Naples.

To cut off his connection with the midfield and backcourt, it is best to isolate him.

However, any opponent wants this strategy, because more than one team has used this tactic to *** Chen Yingxiong, so Napoli must have a corresponding method. Judging from the game video, Napoli's frontcourt offensive combination is very flexible in running, obviously to prevent the opponent from cutting off the connection between each other.

For example, Chen Yingxiong's hat-trick against Inter Milan, the first goal was because Raul suddenly moved from the left to the right rib and made two passes and one assist with Arshavin. The second goal was when Chen Yingxiong took the initiative to move from the middle to the back point, and then bypassed Inter Milan's defense and received a pass from his teammates. These were all the results of running positions.

Ferguson felt that it might not be easy to simply cut off the connection between them. Most of the players in this Naples lineup have played for three seasons together and are very familiar with each other.

He felt that it would be fine if he didn't take the ordinary path.

Many teams were afraid when they arrived at Naples' home court and were frightened by the names of "Hell home court" and "Devil home court" at the Sao Paulo Stadium. Some referees also showed up and said that Naples were all Superman when playing in this stadium.

So when every team comes here to play, the first thing they consider is defense and not to lose the ball. Or to lose less and lose less as a win.

Even defending champions like Inter Milan have to be suppressed by the aura of the São Paulo Stadium. They completely abandoned their faces and once caused very dissatisfaction with Inter Milan's own fans. As a result, they thought they had a suitable result.

Unexpectedly, I returned to home court but was swept 5:2 by Naples. I didn’t even want to face the situation away. When I returned to home court, I waited for a 2:5. The defending champion was eliminated in this way. This is really ironic...

Ferguson definitely has a different path.

This is also because he has rich experience and has experienced all kinds of scenes.

He knew that Mazari would definitely think that Manchester United would also choose a safe way to play with defense in the away game. When the opponent defends to the death, what should Napoli do? Of course, it is a crazy attack. Napoli is not afraid of defending to the death. Defending to the death can only make them more unrestrained, because the opponent's offense is almost zero, which means that when Napoli attacks, they don't need to be afraid of being behind and push with all their strength.

And Ferguson needs to be under Naples' power, so that a lot of space behind them can be used...

Before the game started, the Sao Paulo Stadium was full. Naples fans paid great attention to the game.

Champions League semi-finals! A height that has never been reached in history!

Even Maradona has not been able to lead the team to do so much. Now the media no longer talks about the "post-Maradona era" but instead calls it "beyond the Maradona era".

Don’t you understand the meaning here?

But no one was angry at the naked confession of the media. Many Napoli fans thought about it carefully - what did the Maradona era bring to them? Two Serie A champions and one League Cup champion. This result was amazing at the time. Looking back, I felt a bit...but it felt like this.

Now the League Cup has been depreciated, and the previous league championships are not as difficult as it is now - today's league championships are basically monopolized by those powerful people, and there are countless shady scenes. Do you, a southern team without power or background, dare to want to win the championship? Dream!

But now, not only in the league, Naples remains the lead and may win the league championship trophy. More importantly, the Champions League! Naples has never been involved in this champion, which symbolizes the highest honor in European football.

Today, Naples has the hope of winning the UEFA Champions League.

Just for this, many fans think that Naples is not the only one who surpasses it now, at least it is comparable to the Maradona era...

Therefore, every home game of the Champions League, the Sao Paulo Stadium is full, and as the team goes further, the enthusiasm of the fans is also increasing.

This team has carried all their expectations in their dreams.

There are even media and cultural people who try every means to find various performances and humanistic significance for the team's current performance. Their rapid progress in the Champions League, how they beat the northern powers in the league, were all given the name of "not fearing power, challenging authority", saying that this is the cry of a small person, the hard blow of the grassroots class, this is the struggle of southern Italy against the north, what is the touching replica of the football "Young David challenged the giant Goliath"...

In short, all kinds of hats that made Napoli players themselves confused were put on their heads.

In fact, Italy today is no longer Italy in the Maradona era. Although there are still differences between the south and the north, they are not that serious. They have never thought about these inexplicable humanistic concerns. They just want to win the championship for themselves and the team, and that's all.

But it has to be said that the so-called "humanistic care" that is not the wishes of the parties involved, which are speculated by cultural people, are quite marketable. At least Naples fans are very proud.

Before the game started, the Sao Paulo Stadium was full. The media gathered here from all over the world were very satisfied with the atmosphere of this home court.

"It seems that Manchester United will face a tough battle at this stadium."

"If Napoli wants to advance to the final, they have to beat Manchester United at home. This is very important... Of course, a 2:1 score is definitely not good. I don't think Manchester United will be a mistake with Inter Milan..."

"What I'm more looking forward to is how Chen Yingxiong can perform in this game. In fact, as long as he can score, Napoli can basically win..."

"The match between Real Madrid and Barcelona is tomorrow. I don't know what kind of pressure the heroes can put on Messi in this game..."

The reporters who entered the media seat were talking about it. They were happy to see the good show of Messi and Chen Yingxiong's competition. In fact, the Champions League has been held for fifty-six years, and there are only so many gimmicks, especially after Platini came to the stage, it was nothing more than a showdown between teams with grudges. At first, everyone thought it was quite interesting - a strong dialogue, a fateful showdown!

Later, after too many such competitions, everyone gradually became a little aesthetically tired.

It was not until this season that the scorer battle between Chen Yingxiong and Messi regained everyone's interest.

In European football, especially in the Champions League, there are few such naked competitions.

This itself is already exciting, not to mention that the process is so exciting. No one is optimistic about Chen Yingxiong, who tied the world's number one player in football today with six fewer group games...

For a moment, the bystanders were excited to see.

This has also become the biggest gimmick in the Champions League this season.
