Eventually, Jardim changed his mind and took Li Liang and Bernardo Silva with him to Italy. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Everyone was relieved by the results of Falcao's examination, a muscle strain in the back of his left thigh, which is expected to take about 4 weeks to recover.

The Monaco team, which was dominated by substitutes, arrived at the famous São Paulo Stadium in Naples.

Returning to his home country, Spinoli proudly introduced the São Paulo Stadium, built in 1959, underwent a major renovation in 1989 and hosted four matches during the 1990 World Cup.

The Stadio de São Paulo was almost renamed the Stadio Maradona in honour of the many great accolades that the "King of the Ball" had achieved for Napoli.

This is the third largest football stadium in Italy by capacity, after the San Siro and the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

The game was played in the evening, and the number of fans watching the game in the huge stadium stands was not much, Li Liang took a look, and estimated that there were only five or six thousand people at most.

came to this "holy land" in the hearts of many fans, and Li Liang, who was ranked in the starting lineup, was full of awe.

As a veteran fan, how could he not know that in July 1984, the "football king" Diego Maradona joined Napoli for a record transfer fee of $7.5 million that year.

In his first season, Maradona scored 14 goals and Napoli finished eighth, and in the second season he scored 11 more goals to finish in the top three.

In the third season, Maradona led the team to be crowned the Serie A champion for the first time in history, and Napoli went from a relegation team to a brilliant star at the time, known as the "Little World Cup" Serie A champion, and it took him three years to bring amazing qualitative changes to the club.

In 1987, Maradona helped the team win the Coppa Italia.

In 1988, Maradona won the Golden Boot for the top scorer in Serie A for the first time.

In 1989, Maradona led Napoli to their first UEFA Cup title, scoring three goals and providing 10 assists.

In 1990, Maradona led Napoli to a second Serie A title. In the same year, Maradona led Napoli to a 5-1 victory over Juventus to win the Italian Super Cup.

Now that he has come to the St. Paul's Stadium, which has left the miracle of the "King of the Ball", Li Liang feels like a dream.

Both players were in the tunnel to get ready to play, and Li Liang, who had done his homework, recognised most of the Napoli stars.

Among them, the number 14, the small Belgian striker Dris Mertens is the most eye-catching, he has been chattering and laughing with his teammates in English and French, and he seems to be extremely talkative.

Li Liang also recognized the deep-eyed, taciturn-looking Spanish striker José Callejón; There is also the captain of Slovakian central midfielder Marek Hamsik with a tall mohican head and a tattooed flower arm that looks more like a rock star.

Li Liang knows that Napoli won the runner-up in Serie A last season, scoring 80 goals in 38 rounds, second only to the third-place Roma team with 83 goals, and the attack power is very amazing.

In particular, Argentine striker Gonzalo Higuain, who transferred from Napoli to Juventus at a record price of 90 million euros, broke the 66-year single-season individual goal record in Serie A with 36 goals with the strong support of the Napoli midfielder last season.

In today's warm-up game, Napoli's three main midfielders, Hamsik, Mertens and Callejon, all started, Li Liang was secretly excited, he knew that he had met a real master.

The players of both sides began to enter, Li Liang suddenly felt a chill in his heart, he turned his head sharply, and suddenly saw the Senegalese Senegalese Kalidou Koulibaly, wearing a No. 26 jersey shirt, with a height of 1.95 meters.

Li Liang's conscience was shocked, and he couldn't help but take a step back. He's never seen such a strong player since he went to Manchester! An expressionless Koulibaly walked in front of him, and Li Liang felt as if a prehistoric giant beast had passed by!

It wasn't just Li Liang, but his young Monaco team-mates were a little surprised to look at the strong Kalidou Koulibaly. Normally the players appear stronger than usual on TV, but Koulibaly looks even bigger in person than in the video.

The game is about to start, and Monaco sent a full bench lineup, among which only Li Liang played in the last game against Fenerbahce.

Napoli manager Maurizio? Maurizio Sarri looked at Monaco's starting line-up and shrugged his shoulders at assistant Fabio Pezia and asked: "What do you think?" ”

Pezia pouted: "At least win them 3-0!" ”

Sarri was furious: "What? If the goal difference is less than 4, we will continue to practice tomorrow! If it's 5, give them a day off! ”

On the bench at Monaco, Caldeira looked at the Napoli lineup on the field and asked Jardim in frustration: "Leonardo, is this really good?" They have almost sent most of the main forces! In less than 20 minutes, we'll be completely defeated!? ”

Yaldim spread his hands: "Nelson, counting this one, we have six games in the next 20 days!" The first game of the league at home to Guingamp was a tough one to deal with.

Then go to Spain and Villarreal to play the first leg of the Champions League play-offs, then the league away to Nantes, the second leg at home to Villarreal, and then the league home to Paris Saint-Germain!

These 20 days will determine the course of our season! The biggest problem for the club now is that the gap between the substitutes and the main team is too big, and I can't ...... it."

Caldera shook his head, this is indeed a tricky question. He couldn't help but ask, "You asked Bernardo to calculate the recovery state, so why did you let Li come too?" And let him start? ”

Yaldim smiled, he looked at Li Liang on the field and replied: "Li still has a lot to learn now, and today's game can help him see himself better!" ”

The game started immediately, on the Napoli side, assistant coach Pezia stood on the sidelines and waved to Mertens, who was closest to him, and whispered a few words to him after he came, Mertens's eyes widened when he heard it!

He returned to the center circle and teamed up with the team's striker Italian big man Manolo? Gabbiadini prepares for kick-off.

Mertens said: "Manolo, the coach just told me that whoever scores the most goals in this game will definitely start in the first league game! ”

Gabbiadini, who had been depressed in Naples because he couldn't play the main team, his eyes lit up after hearing this, and then he asked suspiciously: "Really, Dris?" You're lying to me again, aren't you? ”

Mertens is a well-known "teaser" in the team, and there is no one in the club who has not been teased by him, even manager Maurizio Sarri.

Mertens said with a serious face: "Don't worry, Maloneo, if you can score a few more goals, you will definitely appear in the starting line of the first round, I vouch for it with my reputation!" ”

Gabbiadini stared into Mertens' eyes, and gradually believed, he looked up to the sky and laughed, and then shouted with embarrassed eyes: "Come on! I can't wait! ”

The referee's whistle blows, and the game finally begins.
