At the banquet, Maradona was full of praise for Jiang Chen, and he told Jiang Chen that he hoped that Jiang Chen could lead the Napoli team to win the Champions League and make up for his regrets that he did not finish.

Maradona is very respectful of Jiang Chen, he believes that Jiang Chen's strength is very strong, very powerful, and the Napoli team will achieve more brilliant results under the leadership of Jiang Chen.

After messing around with Maradona for one night, Jiang Chen didn't return home until the next day, if he hadn't called before, his mother Chu Hongxia would definitely be in a hurry.

Chu Hongxia now followed Jiang Chen to Rome, and she came here to take care of Jiang Chen for a while before returning to China.

Jiang Chen naturally hoped that Chu Hongxia could stay all the time, but Chu Hongxia insisted on going back, and Jiang Chen had no good way.

After the International Champions Cup, Napoli had a day of rest, and then Napoli began to assemble again, and now this is a very crucial time for Napoli, because it is not far from the start of the league.

At this time, the Napoli team could not rest, they left Italy on the third day and flew to Portugal, where they went to the last warm-up match of the summer, and the warm-up game ended with the start of the new season.

Jiang Chen naturally boarded the plane to Portugal, they went to Lisbon, Portugal, they were going to participate in the last warm-up match of the summer, and their opponent was the Benfica team.

Benfica is a super giant in Portugal, their strength is not weak at all, for this game, Napoli team is very important, Napoli has regarded Benfica team as their opponent in the Champions League.

Last season, Napoli finished fourth in Serie A, and although they qualified for the Champions League for the new season, they did not go straight to the main competition, and they had to start from the qualifying round.

So at this time, Napoli have already regarded Benfica as their Champions League opponents, and they have to test their quality.

After arriving in Lisbon, Portugal, the Napoli players were feeling tired.

Indeed, the players of the Napoli team are still very tired these days, and now the players of the Napoli team have not adjusted their form and physical conditions to the rhythm of the game, and now they are a little tired.

Of course, Jiang Chen is also a little tired at this time, although his physical fitness is very good, but he is also a human and not a robot, he also knows that he is tired, so in the training in Lisbon, Jiang Chen still showed fatigue.

Looking at the state of the Napoli players, Ancelotti is very worried, he is worried that after the start of the new season, the physical condition of the Napoli players is not good, which will lead to a bad start.

This summer, the Napoli team has gone a lot of main players, and the team has also introduced some newcomers, but now their tacit understanding has not yet risen, which will affect the performance of the Napoli team, and now everyone's state is not good, and this new season will be even more difficult.

At the end of this week, Napoli played Benfica in Benfica's home stadium at the Stadium of Light, and Jiang Chen still appeared in the starting lineup for this game, and Napoli's starting list was the same, with goalkeeper Sepe.

In the back four are Scarfe, Diane, Kalidou Koulibaly and Rudy, Mendy's injury is still not good, he did not come to Portugal with the team at all, he is recovering from injuries in Italy.

In the position of the four midfielders, it is Allan, Diawara, Joel Obi and Callejon, it can be seen that the position of this midfield is still very different, obviously at this time Ancelotti still did not find the best midfield configuration.

The two on the forward line are still Jiang Chen and Mertens, and this attack combination is untouchable.

After the start of the game, the Benfica team fighting at home instantly took the initiative on the field, frantically besieging the Napoli team, the Napoli team is now only parrying, the physical condition of the Napoli players is really not in the best condition, and they have just finished the International Champions Cup, and they flew over non-stop, which is really too tiring.

Jiang Chen's performance in this game was not very good either, not as well as he did in the Sao Paulo Stadium a few days ago.

In the thirtieth minute of the first half, Benfica striker Ferreira received a pass from midfielder Zivkovic and scored a goal with a direct shot, which also kicked off the goal of the Benfica team.

Benfica played very well in this game, and at the end of the first half, they were 2-0 up, and Ferreira scored a brace.

After the start of the second half, Benfica's attack continued to attack, besieging Napoli, and in the second half they scored twice to extend the score to four to zero.

Napoli, on the other hand, saved some face with a goal from Alan in the final stages of stoppage time, and in the end Napoli lost 4-1 away to Benfica to end their summer warm-up matches.

This result is really not very good, and it also makes Napoli fans worry about the new season of Napoli.

After the friendly match against Benfica, the whole Napoli team immediately returned to Napoli to start preparing for the upcoming league game.

However, before the league starts, Napoli have one more game to play, and that is this year's Italian Super Cup.

The teams participating in the Italian Super Cup are the winners of last season's Serie A and the Italian League Cup.

Last season, Napoli were the winners of the Italian League Cup and they qualified for the Super Cup this time.

Last season's Serie A was won by Juventus, so this time, Napoli's Super Cup opponent was Juventus.

The Juventus team has performed very well in recent seasons, and in this summer, the Juventus team also has a large number of reinforcements, they snatched the target of the Napoli team, Asensio, it can be seen that the Juventus team wants to attack the Champions League title.

This season, the main players of the Juventus team did not leave the Juventus team, but instead brought in a group of good players, and their strength has been strengthened, which is definitely not a good thing for the Napoli team.
