Chapter 21 The Bear Who Tastes the Courage of the Salary (The First Update)

Many people are looking forward to waiting in front of the TV for Chen Yingying's first Serie A game, which is also the first Serie A game for Chinese players.

But the results were disappointing.

Chen Yingying didn't score, and despite his hard work in the game, it was disappointing not to score.

He started but didn't score a single goal for the team.

In the game, he also tries to cooperate with his teammates.

But it's clear that Lavezzi doesn't like to play with him, and he just needs to pull out the space for himself and then let him break through and score.

Hamsik can still cooperate with him, but in view of Chen Yingying's low tactical literacy and limited technical level at his feet, the cooperation between the two is also lackluster.

Napoli's most threatening attack was still Juravezzi.

But he, like Chen Yingying, did not score. The scorer was Hamsik, who equalised in the 55th minute.

Due to the fact that in the 54th minute when the defender Biano. Santa Croce was sent off after accumulating two yellow cards and Chen was replaced by the manager in the 60th minute.

His first Serie A appearance, and that was the end of it.

When he was replaced, many Chinese fans scolded Coach Rea for not replacing Chen Yingying. But they also know in their hearts that at this time, one less defender can only be replaced from a striker, and Chen Yingying's performance is indeed not as eye-catching as Lavezi. Who told Lavezzi to be fast, to be colorful, to be able to create a dangerous breakthrough as soon as he got the ball on the pitch?

This is indeed more popular and more photogenic than Chen Yingying.

What does Chen Yingying have? Except for a bicycle pedaler who is still practicing, he can only shoot, and only shooting is what he is best at. Unfortunately, he didn't get many shots on goal in this game. Napoli had 19 shots on goal in the game, and Chen Yingying shot four of them, one in the woodwork, and the other three were either high or deflected.

"I've been with the team for two months, I've played four warm-up games, I've played four official games, and he's still acting like he's just joined the team, which doesn't fit in with the tactics of the whole team." This is CCTV's football commentator Zhang Lu's evaluation of Chen Yingying's 60-minute game.

The newspapers in front of Chen Tao were full of reports and comments about Chen Yingying's appearance in the Serie A capital yesterday.

“…… Maybe we put too much pressure on him and have too high expectations. For Chinese players, it's already good to be able to make their first appearance in Serie A, so if you score a goal or something, you should relax and wait......"

“…… Chen was given a four-point failing score by the Italian media after the game and his performance was lackluster in Napoli's draw away to Roma......

"Maybe it has something to do with the crazy goals before, his crazy form is gone from him, and it will take a while to recover. Generally speaking, after such a crazy first half of the season, players will fall into a brief slump for the rest of the season......"

Chen Tao took out his mobile phone and called his son. He was worried that yesterday's game would hit his son.

As a result, as soon as the phone was connected, he heard Chen Yingying's loud voice.

"Ah, Dad! You didn't sleep? ”

Chen Yingying was training in the dungeon when his mobile phone rang and pulled him out. When he found out that it was his father calling, he was very surprised.

Because he looked at the time display on his mobile phone, it was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon, and the Italian time was six hours behind Beijing time, which means that at this time it should be past 11 o'clock in the evening in China.

"I think you're supposed to call you when training is over."

"We didn't train today, Dad. After coming back from the away game, it was disbanded directly, and I was in the hotel all day...... Rest. ”

Chen Yingying was sweating profusely, trying to make his breath as even as possible so as not to arouse his father's suspicion.

"Oooh. That's right...... That's fine, take a good rest, don't get too tired, should you go out or go out to play. Your aunt told me that Naples is beautiful and a tourist destination. You are there, how can you stay in the hotel all day with such a great opportunity? ”

Chen Yingying smiled, not knowing how to say to his father (). He didn't say anything about Mr. Aurora and a copy, it was a secret that belonged to him entirely. Even Dad didn't know. For Dad, his son is a genius, and he doesn't want to ruin his good image in Dad's heart.

Or reach out to your girlfriend. How long has it been since you contacted her? Also Naples is also famous for its food, have you tasted it......"

"Dad." Chen Yingying coughed. "If you have anything to say, just say it."

There was silence on the other end of the phone: "I watched your game yesterday. You don't care about the reaction of the media and fans, don't have pressure and psychological burden......"

Chen Yingying smiled: "I don't have any psychological burden and pressure, Dad." "Don't be hard-mouthed!"

"I really don't have ......," Chen Yingying.

"As soon as I finished speaking, you were stiff-mouthed."

Chen Yingying shut up. Then I listened to my father's nagging and talking about a lot of truths, how can you see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain, what great people grow up from constant setbacks and tribulations, what Deng Xiaoping has three ups and downs, what "hard-working people, the sky does not pay, lying on the salary and tasting courage, three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu", what Washington cut cherry trees, what Franklin flies kites...... Regardless of whether it has a complete relationship with Chen Yingying's current situation, he told Chen Yingying all the inspirational stories of celebrities he could think of.

The length of this phone call kept Chen Yingying's mobile phone hot, so that Chen Yingying, who had just come out of the copy and was still sweating profusely, was sweating all over his body in the end......

When Chen Tao finished speaking, Chen Yingying was finally relieved.

Of course, he knew that Dad was doing this for his own good, but he felt that Dad really didn't have to worry about anything, because he didn't worry about it himself. It's just a league, and there are more than 30 games in a season. It's normal for players to go up and down, and if I didn't score in the first game, it doesn't mean I won't be able to score in the future.

But he didn't dare to say that his father's worries were superfluous, so he could only say to his father: "Dad, don't worry." I'm trying my luck right now! ”

Special training in the dungeon. For this reason, he gave up the opportunity to go out for fun, visit famous places, and even snubbed Sharapova again.

In order to one day, he will be able to roar on the pitch to all those who have laughed at him.

The giant bear behind me has been asleep for too long, and one day, it will wake up. When the time comes, I'll let its roar resound throughout the Apennines!

As September passes, Chinese fans will be reluctant to relive Chen's league games at Napoli, where he started four times, playing two full games and being substituted twice. His goal tally is ...... Glaring zero!

His problems are still unsolved, and he is still tactically out of step with the team. Even though he's trying to be flexible in his position, he's really not good at it.

The Chinese player's first Serie A game is no longer worth the hype, and now the media and fans across China are waiting and speculating about when Chen Yingxing will be able to play in the league.

The only consolation was that he broke his goal drought in competitive competition since joining Napoli – on September 18, Chen scored his first competitive goal in Napoli in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Cup at home to Benfica.

In Napoli's corner kick tactics, he used his trademark header to top the ball into the Benfica goal.

Although he is not the main scorer in the team's athletic battle, in set-pieces, Rhea still treats and arranges him as the team's main scorer.

Chen Yingying looked excited after the goal, and he roared loudly at the camera lens.

But that didn't change how the home fans thought of him. The boos only disappeared for a while before they rang out again. And the one in the stands reads "You don't even deserve to shine Diego's shoes, bastard!" The huge flag is still there.

There is really nothing to be happy about in the qualifying round, and it is only a small regret for Chen Yingying - he won the top scorer in the League Cup at Zenit St. Petersburg last year, but did not score in the qualifying round.

So no one is rare at all.

The Napoli media only value Chen's performance in the league, and for them, Chen's performance in the league is no different from garbage.

There have already been media calls for Chen Yingying to be removed from the starting lineup.

"We can't because he's Aurelio. Morality. If Laurentiis signs a player himself, he must be given the treatment of a starter, and I think whether he can start in the league at the weekend depends only on one factor, and that is his form and ability. In my opinion, Chen Yingyingren does not meet either of these requirements! Salayeta has returned from injury, so why not start Salayeta, who is more comfortable with the team than Chen Yingxing? ”

So in the sixth round of the league, in Napoli's away game against Genoa, Chen Yingying was finally put on the bench, and the person who replaced him was Salayeta.

Perhaps it is really Lady Luck who has abandoned Chen Yingying, the "Neapolitan outcast", Salayeta scored in his first start of the season!

Although the team eventually lost 2-3 away to Genoa, suffering their first defeat of the new season.

But Salayeta's goal seems to indicate that Chen Yingying will not only have to fight with the local media, fans, and Lavezzi in Napoli this season, but now there is another competitor, and he is also the most direct competitor in the position - Uruguayan center Salayeta.

In the last ten minutes of the game, Chen Yingying came off the bench and replaced Salayeta. Rhea seems to be telling everyone in this way that Chen Yingying will rotate with Salayeta.
