Chapter 202 The first battle, the young marshal changes!
"It's over! Manchester City is completely over!"
"Hao Qiang and Cavani teamed up to destroy Manchester City!"
"So what if Manchester City has money? It's not like we tortured you to death, hum."
Napoli fans are in high spirits.
Hao Qiang's wonderful performance instilled strong self-confidence in them, even making them somewhat domineering.
Mancini's face was blank.
Originally, the team's participation in the Champions League was an event full of passion and high expectations.
But this season's Champions League group stage has made Manchester City a joke in European football.
In this group of death itself, Manchester City should be the second favorite to qualify.
After all, they have spent money like water for several consecutive years and built a lineup that far exceeds Naples in terms of value.
But now not only is Napoli about to encounter a double-kill, but a scandal has also broken out between Tevez and Mancini.
Fans all over the world can laugh at them for being nothing but rich.
As long as Naples wins this game, it will not only advance to the top 16 of the Champions League one round ahead of schedule, but will also lock in the top spot in the group.
Can make the draw for the knockout rounds slightly more favorable.
Mazzarri was complacent, and the two-goal lead was enough for him.
Substitute.
Djemayli replaces Inle.
Pandev replaces Cavani.
Make gestures to get the team to change their tactics to counter-attack.
As long as Manchester City is restricted from scoring goals, it doesn't matter whether Naples can score more goals.
Mancini also made a substitution.
A dead horse is treated as a living horse doctor.
Nasri and Aguero replaced De Jong and Dzeko respectively.
Enhance offense.
Manchester City kicked off and continued to set the pace and launch a fierce attack.
The difficulty of attacking the enemy has been increased, and the defense has also been weakened.
If Napoli doesn't make substitutions, they may be able to easily destroy Manchester City's defense.
Now, after strengthening the defense, the offensive quality has declined.
Hao Qiang and Cavani have developed into each other, but the cooperation between him and Pandev lacks some tacit understanding.
During the counterattack, he can easily pass through the midfield and enter the offensive dangerous area.
The coordination quality of the final attack was lacking, and the threat was greatly reduced.
However, there is still plenty of game time, and they have enough time to find their rhythm.
Manchester City's attack was lively, but the effect was average.
David Silva wanted to have continuous and smooth cooperation, but other teammates couldn't cooperate with him.
This season they once bloodbathed Red Devils Manchester United at Old Trafford.
It actually relies on defensive counterattacks.
In the context of open space, David Silva's passes and offensive players' sudden movements can penetrate Manchester United's defense again and again.
But facing Naples at the Sao Paulo Stadium, they did not have a wide offensive space and required higher technical and tactical qualities from the team.
It further tests the delicate coordination of the team as a whole.
As a result, shortcomings were exposed.
In the 81st minute of the game, Naples, which continuously attacked Manchester City's defense with rapid counterattacks, finally threatened to explode.
After Hao Qiang, Hamsik and Pandev cooperated in a triangle pass, Pandev broke into the left rib area of the penalty area. When Lescott returned to defense, Pandev controlled the ball and retreated to complete the dodge.
Then Pandev passed the ball across the middle.
Hao Qiang stopped the ball and took a shot.
Kompany's flying shovel blocked his shooting path, but Hao Qiang faked a shot and actually dunked the ball with his left foot, which staggered past Kompany who was releasing the shovel.
Kompany fell into despair and already knew the outcome.
Hao Qiang dunked the ball in front of his right foot and blasted it out with a kick.
The football flew directly to the upper right corner of the goal.
Joe Hart is helpless!
All Naples fans at the Sao Paulo Stadium stood up, applauded and cheered, and then collectively paid homage to Hao Qiang!
"Hat trick! Hao Qiang completely defeated Manchester City with three goals!
He is simply the all-round representative of the modern center!
He can not only serve as a fulcrum to continue the offensive, but also dribble and advance forward. His calmness and ball-handling skills when faced with opportunities are also praiseworthy.
He has excellent movement awareness. He just stopped the ball, faked a shot and actually dunked to dodge Kompany's shovel. This is simply a watershed in the center's ability.
He is calm and cruel, and when he needs to shoot, he is precise and decisive.
Napoli leads Manchester City 4:1.
The suspense of qualifying for this group can be said to be over.
Bayern Munich also leads Villarreal in the other game.
Incredibly, in this group with Manchester City, Villarreal, and Bayern Munich, Naples was not only able to advance to the knockout rounds one round ahead of schedule, but was also able to top the group!
Hao Qiang's contribution is undoubted, leading the scorer list with 9 Champions League goals.
The Chinese Warcraft, which has been devastating in the Europa League in the past two seasons, can also wreak havoc in the Champions League!"
Hao Qiang's ultra-long-distance sliding kneel pushed the stadium atmosphere to a climax.
Cavani, who was substituted, walked to the sidelines and laughed and applauded.
This Hao Qiang is not ordinary strong!
The Naples players surrounded Hao Qiang and were particularly excited.
At this moment, no one questions Hao Qiang's ability as the most valuable signing in team history, and whether he can match the team's salary ceiling.
Everyone's thoughts are tacit and consistent: I hope Hao Qiang will be stronger!
Only if Hao Qiang is stronger will they have greater hope of winning the championship!
Manchester City fans are devastated.
A death notice has been issued. The good news is that they can move to the Europa League. Maybe in the Europa League, they can show the strength of the Premier League tycoons.
Hao Qiang was replaced by Mascara 5 minutes later.
The fans once again paid tribute to him with wild cheers and thunderous applause.
After Hao Qiang walked out of the field, he nodded and applauded to several stands in turn to thank him.
De Laurentiis was smiling in the stands and said to his friends who were watching the game together: "Maradona's treatment here was no more than this."
Everyone laughed.
Perhaps apart from Argentina, the country in the world that hopes to see the birth of a new Maradona the most is Naples.
Although Maradona had not set foot on the Apennine Peninsula for many years, due to previous tax issues, as soon as he landed in Italy, he would be taken away by the tax authorities and all his valuables would be plundered.
Last year, the Naples club wanted to host a friendly match to celebrate Maradona's 50th birthday.
But in the end, because he could not reach an agreement with the tax department and was unable to obtain a pass, Maradona did not board the plane to Naples.
The older generation of fans miss the glory Maradona brought them. After all, Naples' name has been engraved on the championship trophy.
Fans from the new and Mesozoic generations are now pouring their enthusiasm into Hao Qiang.
Maradona exists in the history of the team and is the number one legend.
But for some new generation fans, they only have an understanding of history, but no live experience.
They hope that Hao Qiang can bring them a wonderful journey that will also last a lifetime.
The game ends soon.
Napoli 4:1 Manchester City.
After 5 games in the group stage, they have 4 wins, 1 draw and 13 points, leading the pack.
After the game, Mazzarri praised the team's performance and said that it was not easy for Naples to qualify from the group of death and take first place.
At the same time, they also said that they cannot be complacent at this time.
At Manchester City, Mancini suffered cynicism and verbal criticism from the media.
Under heavy pressure, Mancini not only praised Naples as a top team, but even described Hao Qiang as a "phenomenal star."
Perhaps only by improving Naples' image and combat effectiveness can Manchester City's exit look less useless.
Fleet Street yelled at Mancini: I don’t have any shame!
They will not deny Naples Qiang and Hao Qiang's strength and performance.
But Mancini's remarks left Fleet Street feeling disgraced.
"I really don't know how Mancini would brag about the La Liga duo if Manchester City faced Barcelona or Real Madrid!"
Naples and Bayern Munich join hands to advance to the top 16 of the Champions League, and the ranking order has also been determined.
There is a 3-point difference between the two teams, and Naples has the advantage in the match results. Therefore, no matter what the result is in the final round, Bayern Munich will not be able to overtake Naples and become the top of the group.
Naples returns to the league to challenge Atalanta as a guest at the weekend.
The team's overall performance after the European war was somewhat weak.
The team including Hao Qiang did not perform well.
As a result, Naples' offensive quality has declined significantly.
The two teams were tied at halftime.
Napoli started to pick up speed in the second half.
As a result, just when they were threatening, Atlanta's quick counterattack penetrated Naples' defense.
Napoli, who fell behind by one goal, made successive substitutions.
Until the last moment of the game, Hao Qiang received a cross from Lavezzi in the penalty area. He jumped in the crowd and headed the ball over.
Cavani ambushed behind the goal, outflanked the header, and then sent the ball into Atlanta's goal.
1:1.
Napoli doesn't have time for another ping-pong miracle comeback.
In the end, the two teams shook hands and made peace.
This is the fourth league draw Napoli has suffered this season.
Although the unbeaten golden body was not broken, the points lost in the draw cannot be ignored.
The team stepped up their rest after returning.
The midweek league games at the end of November will start quickly.
Napoli faces the Bianconeri Juventus at home.
Battle for the top spot!
Both teams have the same points and the same record.
They are all invincible.
But the Italian media can look down upon Naples.
The reason is also simple. Naples achieved its current results through a two-front battle.
Juventus, however, did not have the expense of the European war, so they could only tie their record with Naples.
Make a decision.
At the same time, Naples also performed well in the Champions League. Beating opponents such as Bayern Munich and Manchester City gave Naples a great impression of strength.
The Italian coach attaches great importance to the study of opponents.
November 29th, evening.
The St. Pauli Stadium was brightly lit and packed with seats.
Napoli vs. Juventus.
Mazzarri was confident before the game started.
Juventus' new coach Conte is far less experienced in coaching than him, and Juventus has been very strong from the beginning of this season to today, just looking at their record.
But if we take a look at the team's formation in each round.
It is not difficult to find that Conte is still in the groping and testing stage with Juventus.
Not to mention that the starting staff has not achieved absolute stability.
Even the formation is changing repeatedly.
Such an opponent may be stronger than Naples in terms of personnel, but its technical and tactical strength is definitely not as good as Naples.
When the players from the two teams shook hands, Hao Qiang and Vidal specially hugged.
Leverkusen fans may be filled with emotion.
The two major contributors to Leverkusen's championship last season gathered in Apennines.
Hao Qiang joined Naples for a sky-high price of 40 million euros.
Vidal transferred to Juventus for only 15 million euros.
Today, everyone is fighting for his master and fighting against each other.
Of course there will be no mercy.
When the game was about to start, Mazzarri looked slightly solemn.
He looked at Juventus' 352 formation and felt a little uncomfortable.
When he coached Naples, the 3-back system was not popular in Serie A.
Of course, it is not ruled out that other teams may also use it.
But it was Mazzarri who was able to persevere and carry forward.
Although young coach Conte continued to make changes in the formation before today, he never changed the 4-back system.
Today, as a guest to challenge Naples, Conte came up with a 3-back lineup.
If we only look at the three numbers 352, the comparison is meaningless.
Because personnel characteristics and abilities are different.
Napoli's midfielder and Juventus' midfielder are completely different in terms of their ball-handling styles.
Pirlo, who is already 32 years old, is well known to the world for his characteristics.
There is no player in Naples who can compete in the ability to pass mid-to-long passes and control the rhythm of the field.
So comparing 352 and 352 is of little significance.
They both call 352, but the routes they take are definitely different.
However, the difference between the 4-back system and the 3-back system is bound to exist.
It is not difficult for young coach Conte's changes in formation to make people guess his research on Naples.
There may even be suspicions of stealing from others.
Mazari and Conte have no grudges, but the competition on the green field is somewhat beyond the norm.
If Juventus sinks Napoli.
Isn’t this equivalent to randomly slapping Mazari’s face with big-eared melon seeds?
How many years have you played in the 3-back system, but Conte uses it better than you?
How to say?
What are you proud of?
Mazzarri was still full of confidence at this time.
I feel disdain for Conte: he is just trying to do whatever he wants!
Players from both teams spread out on the field.
Young coach Conte stood on the sidelines with a serious expression, but seemed to be worried.
Perhaps for the manager of Juventus who is looking for the most suitable techniques and tactics to build his own Bianconeri, visiting the San Paolo Stadium is a huge challenge.
He took the risk to change the formation in this game. The results can be put aside for now, but the process will be the main criterion for testing the correctness of the reform direction and ideas.
He cannot let go of any detail of the game.
At the same time, I also hope to see some tactical elements that can be learned from Naples.
