Chapter 55 Stubborn Chen Yingxiong

In the match where Napoli challenged Lazio away, Chen Yingxiong appeared in Napoli's starting lineup as expected.  M As the starting center forward, he stood in the center circle with the football under his feet.

Napoli got the kick-off right.

Not far away from him was his compatriot, national teammate Ji Ming.

In fact, the two of them had a good private relationship, because they were the two youngest in the national team, and they even lived in the same dormitory in the national team, so they naturally had a good relationship.

But at this time, there was not so much friendship to talk about.

Chen Yingxiong wanted to defeat Ji Ming, and defeat Lazio where Ji Ming was!

The referee blew the whistle, and Chen Yingxiong gently knocked the football forward, and the game officially began!

※ ※ ※

After the game started, Chen Yingxiong seemed very active. As a tall and strong center forward, he fully played his role.

In the offense, he didn't necessarily have to score immediately. He could rely on his physical advantage to hold the football, and then wait for his teammates to come up to support him and cooperate with them.

This was his task in the midfield.

When he was at the front of the penalty area, his strategy changed.

Not only could he hold the ball and wait for his teammates to come up to support, he could also play with his back to the goal - as a strong center forward, he still had to have this ability.

Chen Yingxiong's body was indeed very strong, otherwise why would he be called "Northern Giant Bear" by the fans of Zenit St. Petersburg?

This nickname fits Chen Yingxiong's characteristics very well.

He was like a giant bear on the court.

If you just look at his body shape, you will find that he is very different from most other players. Other players next to him are just like the difference between giants and ordinary people.

He is 1.91 meters tall and weighs 88 kilograms. Such a body proportion makes him very strong.

When he took the ball with his back to the goal, even Jose Passarella couldn't do anything to him.

Of course,

Jose Passarella was not a player who was good at physical fitness. When he got older, his physical fitness was even worse.

But Changsheng still let him deal with Chen Yingxiong.

Because compared with Campoli, he has more experience, better defensive skills and awareness.

Use his experience and skills to fight against Chen Yingxiong's body.

In addition, Campoli was waiting for an opportunity to move on the side, and other Lazio players were ready to surround the giant bear at any time.

※ ※ ※

At the beginning, Jose Passarella had a hard time fighting. He had never played against Chen Yingxiong before. This was the first time. He lacked understanding of this person.

Twice, Chen Yingxiong pushed Jose Passarella away with his butt, and then turned around and shot!

Fortunately, Ter Stegen was focused and reacted quickly. He fell to the ground and hugged the football in his arms, otherwise it might be a dangerous situation in front of the goal.

However, Jose Passarella also realized Chen Yingxiong's usual means of back-to-back singles through these two failed defenses.

Just stick your butt!

This kid is still too young, so his means of back-to-back singles are relatively simple.

Just rely on his physical advantage and squeeze hard.

As long as you have skills and experience, it is not difficult to defend him.

Soon Chen Yingxiong tried Jose Passarella's strengths.

When he got the ball with his back to the goal again, he was going to play against the thin Jose Passarella. But he failed!

He stuck his butt backwards, but it was empty!

While hitting the ball, he also lost control of the ball. Because his center of gravity had changed, he couldn't change it immediately.

So when he saw a leg stretched out from behind. Then he lightly poked the ball away from his feet, he was stunned-how did the opponent do it?

Of course he didn't know, Jose Passarella had been observing him, observing what he would do before he was about to stick his butt. Then he would give a warning based on this action.

As long as he saw Chen Yingxiong show this action, he knew he was going to stick his butt.

Then he quickly moved to the side. Chen Yingxiong stuck his butt out, and at the same time he lost control of the ball. At this time, it was very easy for Jose Passarella to defend in front and poke the ball away.

※ ※ ※

Seeing that Jose Passarella successfully defended Chen Yingxiong for the first time in this game, the commentator also shouted: "Beautiful! Jose Passarella's defense is very neat and tidy! In front of his flexible body, Chen Yingxiong really looks like a stupid bear!"

José Passarella, who intercepted the ball, sent the ball directly, and then he ran forward, and Lazio's defense line also moved forward as a whole.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Yingxiong was thrown behind them and was in an offside position.

Chen Yingxiong only reacted at this time, and he hurriedly ran back, while his eyes were always on Jose Passarella.

He still didn't figure out how the opponent poked his ball away.

※ ※ ※

Naples' offense encountered a little setback, but this did not affect Naples' offensive determination. Relying on the fact that they have Chen Yingxiong who can get the ball in the frontcourt, they played an offensive battle against the ever-victorious Lazio away from home!

This requires a lot of courage.

Before this, no team had ever dared to play against Lazio at Lazio's home ground, because in the end they would all die miserably, very miserably.

When challenging Lazio in an away game, the best way is to shrink the defense and try not to concede a single goal. A 0:0 would be a great victory.

Naples head coach Cannavaro took a different approach and chose an unexpected tactic.

Of course, he did this because there was a center who could take the ball in the frontcourt, otherwise he would not have dared to do so. At least in the previous seasons, his Napoli never dared to attack Lazio on the road.

Chen Yingxiong can get the ball in the frontcourt, and other Naples players can press forward boldly.

If it were another center, it would be very likely that Lazio's defenders would cut him off and then quickly counterattack. Then his own players would just run up and the defense would be completely blank.

※ ※ ※

After Chen Yingxiong was intercepted by Jose Passarella, he did not learn his lesson. On the contrary, he also competed with Jose Passarella.

Taking the ball and hitting Jose Passarella in isolation again and again.

Jose Passarella used his experience, skills, and awareness to defend Chen Yingxiong, and actually gained the upper hand!

At first, everyone was looking forward to Chen Yingxiong's battle with Lazio, but now they find that he is trapped to death by a thirty-nine-year-old veteran!

This is really shocking!

There is a twenty-year age difference between the two of them!

In an environment where people in foreign countries can become fathers at the age of 11, it is not an exaggeration to say that Jose Passarella is old enough to be Chen Yingxiong’s father!

Chen Yingxiong had no intention of taking a detour, so he just went to challenge Jose Passarella. It seems that he will not give up until Jose Passarella is completely defeated.

Cannavaro was very dissatisfied with Chen Yingxiong's behavior on the sidelines. He kept waving his arms and shouting loudly. Remind Chen Yingxiong not to do this.

However, Chen Yingxiong ignored him on the court and still went his own way.

Chang Sheng on the sidelines couldn't help laughing after seeing this scene.

Before the game, the media praised Chen Yingxiong very much, as if he could defeat Lazio's defense alone.

Chang Sheng admitted that Chen Yingxiong is a very capable player.

But Chen Yingxiong is still too young after all, and his lack of experience and impulsiveness are his biggest weaknesses.

His character is too strong. Sometimes it is easy to get into trouble.

Chang Sheng believed that as long as Jose Passarella could entangle Chen Yingxiong for a while, he could make Chen Yingxiong lose his cool. It would be much easier to handle if Chen Yingxiong loses his cool.

The facts prove that it is indeed true.

Although he has never coached Chen Yingxiong or been in contact with Chen Yingxiong, Chang Sheng does not know Chen Yingxiong.

As a Chinese, he knows a lot about the Chinese players who have performed well on the European continent, and even more about the best ones.

Plus he has Ji Ming by his side. Ji Ming and Chen Yingxiong are friends, so it's not too difficult to ask Ji Ming to find out something about Chen Yingxiong.

So Chang Sheng decided on such a battle plan to freeze Chen Yingxiong.

Trying hard to stimulate Chen Yingxiong, making him lose his mind and fall into endless entanglement with Jose Passarella.

The only problem with this tactic is whether the thirty-nine-year-old Jose Passarella can withstand it.

After all, this isn't something that happens once or twice. The head-to-head confrontation between him and Chen Yingxiong will definitely last a whole game.

So far, Jose Passarella's performance is quite good.

He did not compete physically with Chen Yingxiong, but used softness to overcome strength, preventing Chen Yingxiong from using his greatest advantage.

So Chang Sheng said it before. With Jose Passarella's condition, he can still play at the top level for at least three seasons. It would be a shame to retire now.

※ ※ ※

Cannavaro was so angry when he saw Chen Yingxiong singled out Jose Passarella on the court.

He really wanted to replace this wild bear, but he couldn't.

Because Chen Yingxiong is now the center in Naples who is in the best shape and can score the most goals. If it were other games, it would be fine. In the game against Lazio, he would never be able to replace Chen Yingxiong. As long as Chen Yingxiong stays on the court, Naples will have a chance to defeat Lazio in an away game.

So Cannavaro must endure Chen Yingxiong's bad habits.

This was clear to Cannavaro when he became his head coach.

The so-called geniuses all have some quirks, and Chen Yingxiong also has many problems. But think about his goals, Cannavaro has endured these problems...

A good coach must learn to tolerate his players' shortcomings and fully explore his strengths.

Cannavaro hopes that Chen Yingxiong can prove that he is an excellent head coach.

He is also working hard in this direction. When Chen Yingxiong was not in good condition when he first arrived in Italy and couldn't adapt, it was actually the two of them trying to compete with each other.

In the end, someone has to compromise.

So Cannavaro compromised.
