Chapter Ninety-Six: Our Opponent (Third Update, Monthly Pass——! )
Chapter 96 of "The Male of the Forbidden Zone" Our opponent (the third update, the monthly pass-()!) )
Real Madrid believe that the key to breaking the curse of the "Dream Eight" lies with them, so they disdain to participate in boring quizzes like "What about our opponents" like other clubs. They didn't talk about their rivals Napoli at all, only a few media outlets in Madrid were telling Spanish fans about Napoli.
For this team, I believe that many people's memories are still stuck in the distant eighties of the last century (). At that time, Maradona transferred from Barcelona and created the highest value in world football - 10 million US dollars.
What was the concept of 10 million dollars in 1984? For the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, the all-European broadcasting union paid a total of $19.2 million for television broadcasts.
Since Maradona moved from Barcelona, Spanish fans still remember this period of time somewhat.
The Spanish media gave fans a glimpse of what is happening at Napoli, but at best it was only a general introduction. For example, a few of the team's stars, as well as their current league standings and performances in the Champions League group stage. That's all.
In fact, their presentation can be regarded as informative, they list the number of goals scored and conceded by Napoli in the league this season, and also list a series of statistics from their Champions League group stage for analysis.
But why do you still say that their presentation is general?
Because for the Napoli team, you only introduce the data, introduce their records, and you can only touch the surface of this team, but not go into it.
The reason why this team is called Napoli and why it is unique in the whole of Italian football is definitely not because they have won a few games, scored a few goals, lost a few more and conceded a few goals.
It's because ...... They called it "Naples".
※※※
Real Madrid Club doesn't talk much about Napoli, and similarly, Napoli doesn't talk much about their opponents.
This is really a strange pair of opponents in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. After the game, other teams were always talking about their opponents, even teams like Barcelona, who from players to coaches were talking about Stuttgart, whether they thought they had drawn a good draw or warned their teammates not to underestimate them.
But it was Napoli and Real Madrid who surprisingly did not discuss each other. Real Madrid does not discuss Napoli, it is understandable, they are the best team of the 20th century, they are the giants of the giants, and they must have the shelf of super giants. Disdain to discuss opponents of this level in Naples.
But Napoli's lack of discussion of Real Madrid is a bit strange to the media – they are clearly not blind to rivals like Real Madrid because of their fine heritage and illustrious past.
So why don't they talk about Real Madrid?
It may not be clear to outsiders, but people inside the Napoli team know it.
Because from the moment he knew the result of the draw, Mazzari felt that Napoli's opponent was not Real Madrid, but ...... UEFA and Platini.
The day after the draw came out, Mazzarri gathered all the players for training and he had a few words to say.
"Tell you the truth, guys. We're! Mazari frowned, his face cloudy.
Everyone is used to swearing about him, and it's not strange to see him.
"There are some things that I can't say to the outside, but I want you all to know. Why did we get together with Real Madrid? Because we hit Platini in the face mercilessly in Lyon, it was his revenge. We all know that they wanted us to lose to Lyon and make sure Lyon qualify and win the group. Now he tells us with practical actions that it is not safe to be the first in the group. Mazari looked at everyone with a serious expression.
"But I want to thank him, why? Because he has made us realize that there is a reality, and that is ...... Never rely on the opponents you might face to see how far you can go in this event. We thought we would be able to sit back and relax if we were first in the group, but reality slapped us in the face. It's actually quite simple to decide how far we can go in this premier event......" Mazzari held up a finger, "only one, our own strength (). If we have the absolute strength of Barcelona, do we care who we are against? So, forget who our opponents are and train hard to improve our strength! ”
"I'm honored for you from the bottom of my heart, guys. Because Napoli is the first team in history that is not an opponent of Real Madrid and Barcelona, our opponent is the powerful UEFA, UEFA's president Mr. Platini. Challenging for power has been the destiny of Napoli since the time of Maradona, and I am glad that we still have the opportunity to continue this glorious tradition! We at Napoli gave Platini a strong comeback in Lyon and I hope that in February next year, we will be able to keep Platini happy for a few more days! ”
The players burst out laughing, the manager was so vivid that they seemed to be able to imagine Platini's face at Lyon.
Mazzalhi's words made everyone's hearts warm in the cold morning, and the blood boiling in their bodies filled them with motivation and fighting spirit, and they couldn't wait for the two-legged Champions League quarterfinals with Real Madrid soon.
Mazzarri seems to know what is going on in the hearts of the players, and it's not good to be too enthusiastic, and a good manager needs to be good at controlling the emotions of the players, not just mobilizing.
"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing. Don't work too hard when training today, because ...... As you all know, we've got a Christmas dinner in the evening, and I don't want anyone to go to a hospital bed before that......"
※※※
The Christmas dinner, a celebration organized by the Napoli Club, is a week away, but the last match of the year is on December 20, after the match against Chievo. When the time comes, it's impossible to have any celebrations, everyone is impatient to go on vacation, and who cares about the celebration dinner of the club?
The players have worked hard for a year, and through this dinner, the club would like to thank the players and staff for their hard work, and at the same time unite the fighting power and enhance the sense of belonging of the players.
Especially in the case of Real Madrid's draw, this dinner is particularly important ().
In fact, the notice about the Christmas dinner has already been sent to each player, and they are also informed that this is a family dinner, and they can bring their own female companions and children to participate...... Let's go find one!
Chen Yingying belongs to the kind of poor worm who "doesn't even have a girlfriend".
In fact, with Chen Yingying, who is so popular with women, he should not lack a girlfriend. But now he is really a bachelor, which may have something to do with his too much heart, which woman is sure to be able to tie up this flowery radish that she wants to soak when she sees a beautiful woman?
So Chen Yingying was very distressed about where to find a female companion.
※※※
Due to the group activities of the club club in the evening, the training ended very early today, and the team gave every player time to go home to change clothes and bring their families.
Before leaving, Cassano was still joking about Chen Hero: "I said Hero, you just call the little girl from that TV station, I think she is interesting to you." He hasn't forgotten the woman's nymphomaniac performance when he was on the TV show.
Chen Yingying gave him the middle finger: "Don't worry, I will definitely bring you a big beauty!" I won't bother you! ”
Cassano laughed and left, although he was joking, he felt that Chen Yingying seemed to have no better choice than that woman......
Chen Yingying got into Cabrera's car depressed and drove home.
The female companion really gave him a headache. Although he does not lack women, at this moment, he lacks a suitable female partner......
He sat in the car, thought about the problem for a while, thought about it, and combed through all the women he knew in his mind, and found that it was really not suitable (). Vera, as her own spokesperson, could come to the rescue at this moment, but she is still in Russia...... This is far from quenching the thirst of the near.
The car suddenly accelerated, and he jerked back, knowing that Cabriera was speeding up again to shake off the fans who were chasing the car and asking for autographs and photos. For Napoli's most popular players, it is essential to do everything they can to avoid the fanatical fans on the drive home, and that includes speeding cars, of course.
This acceleration made Chen Yingying shift his attention to Cabrera who was driving.
The ruthless female bodyguard was still dressed in a black suit and trousers—she had been dressed like this all year round, and sometimes even made Chen Yingying think that she didn't change her clothes all year round. Her hair is a little longer than when Chen Yingying first saw her, at least she can comb her hair.
Chen Yingying has lived under the same roof with her for more than a year, and he has never seen her wear makeup, not even the most basic lipstick.
No necklaces, no earrings, no rings, no other jewelry.
She wasn't interested in anything that a woman was interested in.
If it weren't for her figure, it would really make people feel that she was not a woman.
In the past, Chen Yingying still had the intention of teasing her, such as letting her pretend to be her girlfriend in order to hide her identity when she went out. It turned out that this person had no mood at all, and he was really boring, so he slowly stopped doing it.
The problem of finding a female companion was still bothering Chen Yingying, he looked at the woman in front of him who did not look like a woman, and said in his heart that a dead horse should be a live horse doctor. If you refuse, you will go to find the new female vase of the TV station, and when the catalog is finished that day, she came to leave her phone number, at least people will not refuse her......
"Hey, Christine."
"What's the matter, Mr. Chen?" Cabrera replied in a cold, repulsive tone. If Chen Yingying hadn't gotten used to her tone, he would have shut up on the spot, not to mention the request later.
"Do me a favor. We've got a Christmas dinner at Club Club tonight, and ...... It's a family-style banquet and every player is required to bring a female companion or something......"
"You want me to be your female companion, Mr. Chen?" Cabriera directly said Chen Yingying's request.
Chen Yingying nodded: "That's right." Of course, uh, if you don't want to, that's fine, I'll go find another woman......"
"Okay. It is my duty to protect you, Mr. Chen. ”
Cabriela's answer made Chen Yingying not react for a while, and he continued to nag: "...... You know, my womanhood is very good, so in fact, I still have a few candidates...... What did you say? "It's like he's delaying the internet speed, and that's when he reacts.
"I said yes. It is my duty to protect you, Mr. Chen. Cabriela repeated.
Chen Yingying opened his mouth wide: "It's an internal banquet, and there will definitely be no extreme fans mixed in......"
"You can't let your guard down on any occasion." Cabrera replied formulaically.
Chen Yingying wanted to complain a few words, but when he thought that since everyone had agreed, he couldn't be too mean......
All he just pouted and didn't say anything.
※※※
After a long time, Cabriella, who was concentrating on fighting wits with the fans, suddenly heard a voice from the back seat: "Thank you, Christine." ”
