Chapter 86 A Squad of Rogues
After a week of hot speculation, the Florence expeditionary forces finally left Florence on a bus and rushed to Naples.
The scenery along the A1 Expressway is picturesque, but the battle is imminent, and the players have no intention of appreciating it. Except for the head coach closing his eyes in front of him, everyone is either discussing tomorrow's game or secretly talking about the upcoming new players.
"Colomba bullies too much. Is he talking? It's just a fart. It's a shame if we don't win. Why don't you fight back hard in the newspaper?"
Gao Fei said to Chen Yu indignantly that he was not the captain or the core player, and he was not qualified to participate in the war of saliva. He could only vent his contempt for Cologba among his teammates.
"The best and most ruthless fight back is to beat them on the field."
Dilivio stayed in Fiorentina to recuperate. This is the first time Chen Yu led the team as the captain. However, due to the influence of the team's large-scale signing, the atmosphere of the team this time is obviously more united than all the away game atmospheres, and the players' pursuit of victory is also very strong.
"The captain said it very well. No one can lose to Naples. Their coach and captain are too mean."
Fantini said in the back that he and Rigano have been confirmed to be the starting striker in this game, which is his fourth start of the season. Fantini is very excited. He cautiously flattered Chen Yu, the captain of the shadow striker, in the hope of having a good performance.
Gao Fei shouted loudly: "This game must be won. This is the first time Chen Yu started as the captain. Do you think so?"
"yes."
"Absolutely."
"Chen is not the starting team leader, we can't lose to them."
...
Chen Yu has a high popularity and prestige. After Gao Fei shouted out, most of the players responded.
Rigano said: "The coach arranged for Chen to play the shadow striker, and he would probably catch him off guard when he beat Napoli."
Longo said: "Although Team Chen has played as a shadow striker, there are very few, let alone a starter. Cologba will definitely not guess this game."
Rigano sincerely praised: "It's great to have a player like Chen. He can play several tactics and cooperate with him in different positions."
Fantini smiled and said, "The all-round warrior on the front line."
Chen Yu smiled and said, "Brothers, don't praise me too much. If you don't perform well in the game, you will have no face to go back to Florence."
The head coach Casingva, who kept his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Don't think that Chen's mission today is just a shadow striker. His mission today is great. In addition to being a shadow striker, he also has to undertake some of the tasks of Dilivio, and retreat to get the ball.
Help Camorani control the midfield.”
Chen Yu smiled bitterly and said, "The coach is planning to use me into the cramps."
Casinva laughed and said, "It's not that I want to use this, but there's no way. Dilivio is injured. No one can organize it except Camorani. Napoli's forward line is not strong. Their main striker Dionliki only scored five goals and Benini scored two goals. Their strongest place is in the midfield. If you don't help Camorani, we can only maintain it by fouls in the midfield. In fact, with your physical fitness, even if you retreat a little deeper, you won't cramp up when you help the defense."
Gao Fei Kencasingwa was in a good mood and joked: "Captain Chen, why don't you take on part of my defensive tasks? I'll treat you to a meal after the game."
Casingva said: "Gao, you and Longo have a heavy defense mission tomorrow. You must defend against Massimovi and Tosto's forwards. Their goals are no less than those of the forwards."
Daniel added: "In fact, it's not just the midfielders of Napoli, their attack points are very scattered, and anyone can score goals. It's not as concentrated as our team. All defensive players must be cautious, otherwise there may be problems."
Gao Fei and Longo nodded repeatedly and said yes, these pre-match training have been emphasized many times. Today, Kasingwa and Daniel emphasized it again, obviously they are not very at ease with their defense.
Chen Yu said: "I heard that at least 40,000 fans in Naples went to watch the game on site. They must be very passionate in playing. We must not be scared by their momentum and play to our true level."
Gao Fei said: "Of course, you can be beaten to death but not scared to death."
Casingva said: "Naples fans are crazy. As many as our fans, everyone must not be afraid, but don't provoke opponent fans. We have only one goal, that is, to get three points."
Casingva's words are not expressed in a sense. Compared with the enthusiastic Fiorentine fans, Naples fans can only describe them as crazy. In recent seasons, they have been punished by the Football Association for fighting and throwing miscellaneous items on the court, and even beat their players, but they still remain unchanged.
Four hours later, when the Fiorentine bus arrived in Naples, the players immediately understood the meaning of what Casinva said on the bus.
Naples is the city with the least migrant population in Italy. There are few Fiorentine fans here, but there are many Naples who came to greet them. They booed at the Fiorentine bus and threw fruit and mineral water bottles, forcing Florence players to close the car windows so that they would not be hit by debris.
What's even more excessive is that Naples also played many banners, which wrote swear words in various languages, attacking Chen Yu and Gao Fei as yellow-skinned monkeys, and attacking Casinva as gay men. Naples fans wanted to make their opponents think of leaving this place of right and wrong before the game, and fearing the game and winning.
However, the Napoli underestimated the fighting spirit of this Fiorentina. It can be said that in half a season, the Fiorentina that appeared in Napoli today is the strongest team in the victory and the most united team. After this game, among the 11 players who started, except goalkeeper Sejavi, everyone else, including coach Casinva, dare not say that they can appear in the main position in the second half. In this game, the players are fighting for the club's ranking and their own positions.
After visiting the Hilton Hotel, Chen Yu and Kasingwa held a press conference, and more than 20 reporters appeared in the lobby of the press conference.
After talking about the afternoon training and tomorrow's game arrangements, Casinva, who was wearing a suit and tie, expressed protests against the behavior of Naples fans.
"This is where the King of Football has fought. I think fans should also have the kingly style of the King of Football, but what I saw was a group of fans who were close to gangsters. If all Naples fans were like this, I think my impression of Naples would definitely be reduced to a higher level because of their attacks. We did not sign and take photos with the fans. I think the Football Association and Naples club should be in charge of this kind of behavior."
As the captain, Chen Yu was obviously very annoyed. He had never received such treatment when he came to Italy. He was very rude to say that he would attack Naples fans on the court.
"They want to scare us, they want our performance to be affected, I believe they will backfire, we will play better in the game, we are here just to take away three points, no matter what method Napoli takes, even with the machine gun at us, we will score and win."
Casingva and Chen Yu protested, but Naples didn't care. Blues coach Cologba said in his speech at night: "I don't care what the opponent says. Naples needs to win. Sometimes fans find it difficult to control their emotions. This is normal. If they are so rational, they can't call fans."
If Colomba is just a little arrogant, then Napoli's chairman Nardi is a little rogue. He said: "I can't ask Napoli fans to be polite and have a better attitude towards their opponents, because we are opponents, and I can't guarantee that the fans will not attack their opponents like this in the future. I can only hope that their opponents will be stronger and not be like a crying child. They always want to cry to the Football Association. The Football Association is already very biased towards certain teams, otherwise they will not be qualified to play Serie B at all."
Florence's players and coaches were performing adaptive training at the São Paulo Stadium. The conversation between Nardi and Cologba was seen on the big screen of the stadium. The players and coaches were so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas were ascended to heaven. They couldn't even understand that Palermo, the number one, had never been so arrogant and rude to Florence. This team was not better than them. Why did Napoli, who was almost relegated last season, be so arrogant.
With the support of this anger, although there were many Naples fans in the stands at the São Paulo Stadium making trouble, booing, insulting them, and throwing miscellaneous items, the players also completed the adaptive training seriously and wonderfully.
After returning to the hotel, Casingwa did not hold a press conference to fight back, but held a team meeting to discuss tomorrow's tactical arrangements and issues to be paid attention to.
