Volume 1: Males Come and Go, People Pay Attention Chapter 26: Catching Birds (Third Update, Monthly Ticket!)
Chapter 26 Catching Birds (Third update, monthly ticket!)
Chen Yingxiong is now used to chatting with Maldini every time he enters a dungeon, and then goes to train with the team. Dracula is right, except for the passing stars, he can't communicate normally with his teammates, and they still behave like robots programmed to death.
But there is someone he can chat with, and he is also the famous Maldini. He already feels very proud.
The two-week league truce passed in the blink of an eye.
When those international teammates start flying back from all over the world, Naples will also usher in their third round of the league.
On September 13th, the last game of the third round of Serie A, Naples challenged Genoa away from home.
For Genoa, this is a battle of revenge.
※ ※ ※
In fact, the relationship between the two clubs is still very good.
The last time both sides were promoted to Serie A at the same time, Genoa fans even displayed this banner on the stadium: "Welcome back, Napoli brothers!"
This is enough to explain the relationship between the two families.
But last season, Naples abruptly snatched Genoa's place in the Champions League, which still made many Genoa fans feel dissatisfied with this team.
In the football world, hatred often comes from this. It may be a loss in a game, or a taunt from a competitor. Even the best relationships can turn into enemies.
What's more, the talk of revenge is not aimed more at ordinary fans, but at Genoa players...
Losing the Champions League, for the fans, is just a matter of missing a few high-level Champions League group matches at home, but for the players, it is different.
They lost the opportunity to perform themselves on the greatest stage.
As professional players, how many people don’t want to participate in the Champions League?
Countless players dream of going to a wealthy club, but why? For a higher salary? That's just one reason. The bigger factor is naturally that in a wealthy club, you have more opportunities to participate in high-level events, to compete against strong opponents, to improve your own strength and reputation, and to gain more benefits.
The Champions League is a battlefield where all their ambitions can be realized.
Now, this opportunity has been snatched away by Naples. It is absolutely impossible to say that the Genoa players are not angry!
What's more, from the directors of Genoa Club to the head coach, everyone attaches great importance to qualifying for the Champions League.
For the Genoa club, qualifying for the Champions League means an additional income of more than 10 million euros. This more than 10 million euros is undoubtedly a large financial income for a small club. Although Genoa has a toy tycoon boss, his money There is no reason to smash things into the club without restraint. Everyone knows that if a club wants to develop, it must make its own blood.
The Champions League is a good opportunity to make blood.
But it was robbed by Naples.
For Genoa head coach Gasperini (gian_piero_gasperini), the Champions League is a big stage where the head coach can become famous overseas and prove his ability. There is no head coach who does not hope that the team he leads can go to the Champions League, which proves his ability. Especially a capable and ambitious head coach like Gasparini.
But his dream was shattered by Naples.
To sum up, from top to bottom, everyone has a grudge against Naples. How can this not be a battle of revenge?
※ ※ ※
There is no hatred here in Naples - that is natural. Only losers hate winners. How can it be said that winners hate losers?
Naples only prepared as if this was an ordinary league game. The opponent was really holding back his energy and wanted revenge at his home court.
As soon as the game started, it became more intense than the Naples people expected, which is normal...

"Sokratis_papastathopoulos! The whistle sounded, he fouled again!"
cried the narrator.
The Greek who committed the foul was raising his hands as if innocent.
Arshavin was lying on the ground, looking helpless.
He thought the referee should give a yellow card - of course, it would be better if the referee was willing to give a red card.
But the referee only gave a verbal warning.
In the first five minutes of the game, Greek center back Sokratis Papastathopoulos committed two fouls, one against Hamsik who advanced forward, and one against Arshavin who rushed into the center.
For the first foul, the referee only blows the whistle, and for the second foul, he only gives a verbal warning. So does the third foul result in a card?
Neapolitans think beautifully!
The expression on Papastathopoulos's face after every foul is that of a loyal and honest person... people won't believe that he did it on purpose.
This kid is fierce and calculating, which is an excellent quality for a centre-back.
But at present, he is not well-known.
He would have to wait until a season later, at the World Cup in South Africa, when he successfully froze Messi using tricks such as "monkey picking peaches" and "girl catching birdies" in the 70-minute game, and then he would become famous.
Cassano is no stranger to this person, as the two sides have played against each other twice last season. Genoa and Sampdoria are mortal rivals in the same city. There are four famous derbies in Serie A - Milan Derby, Turin Derby, Roma Derby and Genoa Derby. Genoa is one of them.
With the promotion of Genoa in the 2007-08 season, the Genoa derby has returned to people's attention.
Every time the two teams met, Cassano was playing for Sampdoria. As the core of the team's offense, he naturally had to deal with Genoa's defensive players frequently.
So he knew the characteristics of this guy very well. He ran to Chen Yingxiong, who was pulling Arshavin up, and reminded the two of them: "That kid plays football in a dirty field. You'd better be careful and don't be fooled by him."
Cassano, who was once a brainless man, also had calm moments. I have to say that his recent growth is obvious to all...
Chen Yingxiong dismissed it, "Dirty? What if it gets dirty again?"
Cassano chuckled: "You have plenty of opportunity to know, hero."
Chen Yingxiong is the center and Papastathopoulos is the center back. The two will definitely collide many times during the game.
Papastathopoulos is 1.83 meters tall, which is ten centimeters shorter than Chen Yingxiong. His body does not look strong at all, so from the appearance point of view, Chen Yingxiong really has enough capital to despise the opponent.
But Cassano is a veteran, and what he said makes sense.
※ ※ ※
Chen Yingxiong soon understood why Cassano said he was dirty...
"Your mother..."
He was lying on the ground with his crotch in his hands, a look of anger on his face with gritted teeth, but he couldn't stand up and beat someone because he... didn't have the strength to care about that right now.
"Chen Yingxiong and Papastathopoulos fought once, but there didn't seem to be any violent physical collision. Why did the hero look so painful?" The TV broadcast showed a close-up shot of Chen Yingxiong lying on the ground. Even the pained expression didn't seem to be fake. As for Chen Yingxiong's diving... Everyone has watched him in so many games, but he has never dived before, and the rest of his body seems to have too many flaws in diving...
Papastathopoulos was standing next to the football. He had just stolen the ball when Chen Yingxiong fell, and was about to take the football out of the danger zone when he heard the referee's whistle.
He fouled again.
This time, Papastathopoulos did not raise his hands with an innocent look on his face. Instead, with a helpless smile, he made a gesture to the referee - putting his hands together and making a pounce forward. This is one of the common gestures on the football field. One, it means that Chen Yingxiong dived!
Chen Yingxiong had his back turned to him and was in pain. He didn't see Papastathopoulos's gesture, otherwise he would have been furious - I, Chen Yingxiong, act upright on the football field, how could he do such a dirty thing as diving? ? Slander me for nothing, and watch me slap you in the mouth!
The referee did not listen to Papastathopoulos's excuse and decisively sentenced Genoa for a foul, but he still did not take out the card.
Seeing that the referee had no intention of taking out the cards, Papastathopoulos quickly backed away. If you continue to hang out in front of the referee, if the referee suddenly changes his mind and gives you a yellow card, you will lose more than you gain.
Chen Yingxiong lay on the ground with a painful expression and did not get up for a long time. Only then did the referee feel something was wrong - at first he thought this was a common trick used by offensive players to exaggerate their movements, which might affect the referee's decision.
But he is a seasoned referee with rich experience. He has a set of experience in determining the scale of whistle blowing, so he will not be easily affected by the performances of the players.
Now seeing that Chen Yingxiong didn't seem to be faking, he started to make gestures to ask the team doctor to come on...
At this time, Chen Yingxiong also recovered and struggled to get up from the ground.
The referee saw Chen Yingxiong getting up from the ground and was not sure what was going on, but still signaled the team doctor to come on.
After Chen Yingxiong got up, the first thing he did not look for Papastathopoulos's bad luck was to jump on the spot three times.
Then he took a deep breath and squatted down again - it still hurt!
Thanks to the advanced TV broadcast, when the TV audience was confused and didn't know what happened to Chen Yingxiong, the slow-motion replay of the TV broadcast restored the entire process just now.
After the football came, Chen Yingxiong stopped the ball with his chest, and then removed the football with his feet. This set of actions was very coherent and skillful, and you can see his improvement in skills.
Then Chen Yingxiong moved the football to the right, turned around and tried to force a breakthrough, obliterating Papastathopoulos who was defending him.
Just when he turned around and turned his back to the referee, the two people had some physical contact, and both sides were injured and moved. Chen Yingxiong held Papastathopoulos, while Papastathopoulos bent down and tried to get in. Go over and get stuck in position.
Then, Chen Yingxiong fell to the ground and possession of the ball changed hands.
Because the bodies of both parties blocked the camera lens, no one could see clearly what happened.
But it doesn’t matter, we have more than one camera, so keep looking at it from another angle.
This time I moved to the rear.
Papastathopoulos turned around with Chen Yingxiong, but his turning movement was a little slower. He didn't expect Chen Yingxiong to turn so resolutely...
Then he had to use a foul to stop Chen Yingxiong.
Then everyone saw that when Papastathopoulos lost his balance, he reached out and grabbed Chen Yingxiong's... crotch!
Through this high-definition replay, everyone saw Papastathopoulos’s hands firmly grasping Chen Yingxiong’s balls...
Seeing Papastathopoulos gritting his teeth and clenching his teeth so tightly, the male viewers in front of the TV involuntarily tightened their legs and couldn't help but gasp.
"hiss--"
It hurts!
