Chapter 371: The most terrifying home field in Serie A
For Italy, Lin Yu is no stranger, because in the Champions League group stage, he met Juventus and also came to Italy, but for Napoli, he is relatively ignorant, except for knowing that Napoli has players like Higuain and Hamshik, and coaches like Benitez, he really doesn't know anything else, especially for the city of Naples, he has almost no understanding.
If it weren't for his teammates reminding him that Maradona's most glorious period was forged by Napoli, he remembered that the football king had played for this team before, and the current Napoli was even more powerful than he imagined.
Before getting off the plane, Lin Yu asked his teammates: "What is the most terrifying thing about Naples?" ”
His teammates replied, "Fans! ”
Napoli's fans are full of passion, even a little excessive, and they can drown their opponents in their terrifying enthusiasm, or they can let their players sweat it out.
When he arrived in Napoli and walked out of the airport, Lin Yu was instantly surrounded by Italian reporters, and thousands of Napoli fans also surrounded the outside of several games, they did not come to welcome Lin Yu and Chelsea, but to bring huge pressure to this team from afar.
As the winner of the FIFA Ballon d'Or, Lin Yu can be said to be the biggest name and the most famous star of Chelsea at present, coupled with his special nationality and special character, he has naturally become the object of the most attention of the media, and the people who interviewed him even surpassed Mourinho.
If the reporter does not provoke Lin Yu, then he will find that Lin Yu is a very cute and well-behaved child.
When asked about his impressions of the Napoli club. Lin Yu's answer was, "The team that the king played for in the past is naturally charming. And they have the famous coach Benitez in charge, and they have players like Higuain and Hamshik to play. Naturally, strength should not be underestimated. ”
For this answer, those fans on the periphery also heard it, and they were quite satisfied, so they didn't make any excessive moves for the time being.
But then he began to ask a little provocatively in the next conversation with the reporter.
'The Italian team has always been good at defending, plus Napoli's attack is not bad, and Benitez knows Chelsea very well, are you mentally prepared to lose?' If a reporter asks such a question, it would be fine if he asked someone else. Asked Lin Yu, it was clear that he threw a fire into the dry pyre.
"Benitez's Chelsea don't have me! Chelsea have only one goal, and that is to win, and I wonder if Napoli are ready to accept defeat. Lin Yu shrugged his shoulders and said, looking extremely arrogant.
The reporter who asked the question was a little dumbfounded, he had rarely seen such a-for-tat player, especially when he was surrounded by thousands of Napoli fans, and he dared to say such a thing. Isn't he afraid of being beaten?
Sure enough, when this sentence came out, the surrounding Napoli fans were immediately angry.
"Stinky boy, don't think it's great to win the Ballon d'Or, football is an eleven-man sport. No matter how powerful you are, it's useless! "That's a polite word.
"Boy, we're going to let you crawl out of Naples!"
"An unfriendly guy like you is not welcome here!"
"You'd better pray that you can safely wait until tomorrow's game!"
Of course, Lin Yu also heard these shouts, he smiled and waved his hand: "Thank you for the enthusiastic Napoli fans who care." I remember these words, the game the day after tomorrow. I'm sure I'll give back to your team. ”
The smiling tiger may be the best word to describe Lin Yu's expression now, and that kind of smile makes people feel a chill when they see it.
"Lin! Don't be so arrogant when you speak. This is Napoli, and the Napoli team is not so easy to deal with! A reporter said very unhappily.
"Of course I know, but no matter how bad the team is, we will win it." Lin Yu is still so confident, so arrogant, and he doesn't seem to take Naples seriously at all.
"Maradona is the god of this team! He will bless us with victory! ”
"Maradona? Yes, he is one of the great players of all time, but in my opinion, the greatest thing about him is that he led Argentina to the World Cup, and as for his time at Napoli, I don't think it was so honorable that he didn't even help Napoli win a Champions League trophy. Lin Yu said with a smile.
"Fool, you're going to pay for your words." Someone is already angry.
You must know that Maradona is in the minds of Napoli fans, it represents a dynasty and a true god, even if the so-called dynasty is not a dynasty at all, but after all, it is the best period in the history of the Napoli team, and they absolutely do not allow anyone to say that Maradona is not, even if Lin Yu is just telling the truth.
Lin Yu dares to say this, it is not a provocation, but he really thinks so, he led Dortmund to win two league titles, a Champions League title, a domestic cup championship, in terms of results and brilliance, it is definitely much better than Maradona, so it is not an exaggeration for him to have such an idea.
……
The Stadio de São Paulo, the home of Napoli, can accommodate nearly 80,000 people, and is known as the most terrifying home stadium in Serie A.
Lin Yu was so honored, he was honored to offend the enthusiastic Napoli fans, so when the two teams entered the stadium at the same time, the whole stadium roared at him
"Get out!"
"Get out!"
Good guys, the roar of nearly 80,000 people at the scene is much more awesome than Chelsea's home stadium, and the sound is almost like a series of thunder.
Changed to a timid player, I am afraid that I am already scared to pee my pants at this time, but Lin Yu is still happily waving his hands, as if others are not yelling at him, but welcoming him, encountering such a two-skin face, Napoli fans suddenly felt like vomiting blood, and smashed a punch on the cotton, but it hurt himself, it was really uncomfortable.
Nearly 20,000 Chelsea fans have come from England. However, only about 5,000 people were lucky enough to step into the St. Paul's Stadium. So basically the São Paulo stadium is full of Napoli fans, trying to overwhelm the Napoli fans in terms of momentum. That's just an impossibility.
When encountering this kind of thing, they can only remain silent, anyway, they can't yell at the opponent, so it is better to simply come down and watch the game with peace of mind.
Lin Yu has endured the boos and angry scolding of fans since the Dortmund era, he has long regarded this kind of thing as a motivation for himself to play, the more fierce the other party scolds, the more he wants to use his performance to slap these people's faces, and the result is in the team. Many of his teammates called him "Shake M".
It doesn't matter what it's called, the key is that his teammates know Lin Yu's attribute, so they don't worry that he will be frightened by the huge boos and scolding.
When the game officially began, more than 70,000 Napoli fans in the stadium pointed the finger at Lin Yu, and his ability to pull hatred was really not covered, just saying those few words on the pitch reduced the pressure on his teammates at once.
When his teammates got the ball, there was almost no boos and swearing. Because the Napoli fans are ready to boo Lin Yu and scold Lin Yu, but they don't have time to deal with others.
Seeing this strange away game, Mourinho couldn't help but laugh. Xin said: "It's a happy thing to have such a teammate. ”
Lin Yu's stop ball was a little bigger, and the stands immediately burst into laughter. Just imagine, more than 70,000 people laughed at the same time. It was horrible enough.
As soon as Lin Yu took the ball, a huge boo would immediately sound. More than 70,000 people, the boos gathered together, almost like the sound of the waves of the sea.
Perhaps because of the fact that we were not physically strong enough to fight in different places and travel long distances, Chelsea did not perform very well in this game.
Although every player wants to try their best to play this game, but the body is not so obedient, in the end, this is still a team with young people as the main force, their adaptability, far less good than those old fritters, Mourinho also understands this, so he does not criticize the players, only ask not to concede the ball in the first half, in the second half, both sides are relatively poor in physical strength, and then steal one or two goals, do not seek a big victory, as long as a small victory is enough.
Thankfully, Lin Yu had plenty of energy, and from the first second of the game, he became one of the most active players in the Chelsea team, and even the most active in the entire field.
As an all-round player, his individual combat ability is very strong, so when his teammates don't give his strength, his performance will not be too bad, not to mention that his teammates are just not physically strong, so he tries to run as much as possible, so that his teammates can choose to pass the ball, which can save a lot of physical strength.
But even so, Chelsea are generally under pressure.
Napoli took advantage of the home advantage by playing fast from the start, trying to score a few more goals against Chelsea before they were comfortable on the pitch.
Higuain, in particular, seems to be particularly hard-working.
When Mourinho was coaching Real Madrid, he generally arranged Higuain and Benzema to rotate, which is not a good thing for Higuain, who wants to become the main force and start the game, he is more or less complaining about Mourinho, so when he can meet Mourinho today, he also wants to let the other party see that his ability is very strong, and there is no need to rotate with others.
Although they are all old accounts, they still have to be turned out when they are turned out, after all, as long as they are accounts, they have to be recovered.
As a cup expert, Benitez is also the best at handling Champions League and Europa League competitions, and he has arranged the team's tactics properly, in order to beat Chelsea and get a ticket to the next leg of the Champions League, he can't be sloppy.
Napoli's onslaught was in stark contrast to Chelsea's counter-attack, and even some Chelsea fans who knew that Mourinho was good at counter-attacking were shocked and did not dare to relax for a moment.
This kind of scene is naturally indispensable for someone to ridicule a few words.
The Napoli commentator at the scene had already heard Lin Yu's words in a few games, and he said sneeringly at this time: "The team that threatened to beat Napoli is now shrinking in his own half like a turtle, I have never heard of this kind of turtle tactics that can win." ”
"Didn't Lin Yu say that Maradona of Naples is not worth mentioning? So what is he, it's been so long since the opening, why hasn't he shot a single shot? Isn't he a striker? What did you do with the defenders? ”
I probably haven't heard of what is called "crow's mouth" in this commentary.
He just teased Lin Yu twice, Lin Yu immediately returned the color, in the case of not being able to get the support of his teammates, Lin Yu was stunned that he stole the ball of Napoli in the front court, and then passed two people, raised his foot about 20 meters away from the goal and shot, the ball hit the crossbar crisply, and then bounced into the goal, if it weren't for the Napoli goalkeeper's quick reaction and desperately lifted the ball out of the bottom line, I am afraid that Chelsea would have taken the lead.
Although there was no goal, Lin Yu's shot still startled all the Napoli fans in the stands, and they almost didn't even breathe at that moment.
When he saw that Lin Yu's ball didn't score, he became active again.
"Haha, this kid didn't wear shooting boots!"
"Stinky feet!"
"What a terrible archery! Is this the Champions League Golden Boot? I think the first two times were just luck! ”
"Want to be compared with Maradona? You don't deserve to shine his shoes! (To be continued......)
