Chapter Forty-Nine: The Plan for Grabbing Points (First Update)

The question of whether Lavezzi sells or not can be considered again, but the team's results cannot be considered anymore ().

If the team is to qualify for next season's European competition, they will have to work hard from now on.

The top three in the north are not easy to gnaw on, and there are stalwarts such as Roma, Lazio, and Fiorentina, and every game with them is tantamount to a decisive battle.

Lavezzi couldn't leave for a while, and Mazzali didn't care whether the club sold this person or not, he had his own countermeasures. That's ...... Pressed Lavezzi to the bench!

On 8 February, Napoli played Palermo away, and Lavezzi was in the 18-man squad but was not in the starting line-up, sitting on the bench.

Before the start of the game, the television broadcast deliberately gave Lavezzi a close-up on the bench, and Lavezzi in the shot looked gloomy, and even a fool could see that he was having a hard time at Napoli.

"He must now be waiting for some boss to pay for his rescue from Naples...... Just half a season ago, he was still a popular star in Napoli, and was expected to be the one who could wear Maradona's number 10 shirt in Naples. Now he is sitting on the bench, and his fate is really amazing. ”

"When Chen Yingying and Leia had a conflict, his state fluctuated. Now it's Lavezi's turn to have a conflict with the new manager Mazzal, which is bound to affect his form......

Mazzari gave his team a goal to steal points.

It's just that you have to try to win the games you can win, especially with teams that are as strong as them. In today's Serie A, there are many teams of equal strength to them, and Palermo is one of them.

So this game is a must win.

Since it is necessary to win, then the unstable factor Lavezzi must be excluded.

So Mazzari though brought the Argentines to Rezzo. Barbera Stadium, but didn't start him.

And Lavezi's sworn enemy, Chen Yingying started the game, and he made an offensive trident in the front court with Arshavin and Hamsik.

In midfield, Mazzari deployed two defensive midfielders, Gargano and Blasi, with Maggio and Vitale on the flanks.

It's still a sharp 343. Nowadays, there are very few teams that still insist on playing a back three, because the back three is at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, and it is easy to lose sight of one when defending.

But Mazari is powerless to change the situation now. He can only hope for Napoli's attacking line-up now.

Arshavin and Chen Hung have proven their abilities. He now feels that the most correct thing for the boss to do is to bring these two people to Naples at the same time, so that he can save himself a lot of trouble. Chen Yingying and Arshavin are the team's main attacking combination at Zenit, and the combination of the two of them has scored a lot of goals for the team, and now he has almost directly copied this combination, and the effect will naturally not be too bad.

"I'll have a showdown with everyone." Before the start of the game, Mazzarri told the Napoli players about his plans. 'The first half of the season wasn't a good one and I don't want the team to end up empty-handed. We played in the UEFA Cup this season and I'm sure everyone wants the team to play regularly in Europe. So I'm going to have the team at least qualify for the UEFA Cup at the end of the season. For that, we have to try to get points in the rest of the games. Of course, this is my plan. Whether it can be realized or not depends on you. ”

'So, from this game onwards, we have to try to get points against the opponents we play, especially the teams that are not much different from us. Especially...... I don't want us to make the same mistakes as we did in the last league game. ”

Although he didn't look at Lavezi, Lavezi's face was not good-looking, and he knew that he was insinuating and criticizing himself.

This strengthened his determination to leave this team.

No matter how much he admires Maradona, no matter how much he wants to wear Maradona's number 10 shirt in Napoli, these are insignificant in the face of his career prospects. If he doesn't get the career he wants in Naples, he will choose to leave and he will not hesitate ().

"That's all I have to say. So, then, go to the game, gentlemen! ”

"How similar this scene is! Everyone must remember the start of the last round, when Napoli hosted Udinese, right? But this time, it was Napoli who were two goals behind! Just fourteen minutes into the game, Palermo had a two-goal lead! It's unbelievable...... Palermo got off to a great start and was perfect! ”

"Just two minutes into the game, they scored a goal through Migliacio (giulio_ fan GL. In the fourteenth minute, they scored another goal for the team by Simplicio (fabio_enrique_simpl! After taking a two-goal lead, they played this game well, and they were ...... in their home stadium again," Qihang updated the group Tianhuo Longjun provided

"Napoli are once again two goals behind, last time they relied on Chen Yingying's outburst alone to complete a big comeback, can they still count on Chen Yingying this time?"

Fortunately, they don't have to count on Chen Yingying for the time being, as Hamsik helped the team pull a goal back in the 43rd minute.

Going into halftime with a score of 1:2 is better than 0:2.

Back in the dressing room, the Napoli eleven started a little frustrated. Because they listened to the manager's words before the game, they are also full of hope for returning to Europe next season, and feel that if they start to steal points from now on, there will still be a play.

What do you think...... Just two minutes into the game, we conceded a goal. The goal was a complete disruption to the mood of the Napoli players.

In the fourteenth minute, Palermo had a two-goal lead and things turned against them.

They didn't do well in the first half and would have been even worse had it not been for Hamsik's goal pulled back in the 43rd minute.

To their surprise, manager Mazzarry didn't blame the whole team, he just told his players that they were actually good in the first half but unlucky. This should have been the case in the second half.

This sentence greatly boosted the confidence of the players, and suddenly the self-doubt full of frustration disappeared, and everyone began to wait for the second half to start quickly.

"We're just one goal behind! Afraid of what? "Paul. Cannavaro, the captain of the team, stood up in the locker room, clapped his hands and cheered loudly. "Like Roma, we were two goals down and we didn't win in the end! We are not afraid of Rome, are we still afraid of Palermo? ”

The teammates responded enthusiastically to the captain with cheers and whistles.

Lavezzi felt sick again when he heard the captain mention the Roma game......

But at this time, no one cares about his feelings. Even his loyal ally Gargano shouted along with Cannavaro to boost morale.

The atmosphere in the whole dressing room was as hot as roasting on the fire.

So, when such a group of people rushed into the locker room and rushed to the pitch, one can imagine what kind of trouble their opponents would encounter......

Assistant Coach Bio. Viviani smiled at Mazzari and said, "You have what you have, Walter!" ”

Mazzarri pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose: "I think after a bad first half of the season, the players in this team are fragile and they need more encouragement than criticism. ”

Viviani has worked with Rhea for many years, but he has to admit that Mazzari is indeed better than Rhea when it comes to handling dressing room relationships. In Napoli these days, Mazzari has a good relationship with most of the players, they look like friends, not like a relationship between a coach and a player. And Rhea is a typical coach, he handles player relations according to the old rules, which naturally makes the players of the new era feel very awkward and uncomfortable (). It is normal for the two to have conflicting philosophies......

Viviani has always believed that Napoli is not weak, if it were not for the fact that the double and half seasons were affected by many non-football factors, such as the relationship between the players and Rhea, and the conflict between the players in the dressing room...... Napoli is definitely not where it is today.

But after working with Mazari for more than two months, he regained his confidence.

Napoli may really be able to improve under this man's leadership.

At one time, he was also very unhappy with the dismissal of Rea by the president of the club, but now he has tacitly accepted the fact that Mazzari is a better fit for Napoli than Rea......

When the Napoli players returned to the pitch, it was not just them who had a fifteen-minute break, but also the Palermo fans in the stands. They renewed their loud cheers to remind Napoli that we are ahead of you at home!

They were trying to put pressure on the Napoli players, but it was clear that they were not doing it for the Napoli players.

Chen Yingying and Arshavin stood in the center circle, waiting for the kick-off – they were the ones who kicked off in the second half. It was Palermo who kicked off in the first half, and it was after careful planning that they made the most of their first kick-off to score just two minutes into the net......

Chen Yingying was delusional about the goal of Palermo from afar, and now it is empty.

The home team "played a big name" and did not come out, but the Napoli players who were still enthusiastic came out in advance.

Seeing that Chen Yingying had been staring at the goal over there and frowning, Arshavin asked curiously, "What do you think, hero?" ”

Chen Yingying glanced at Arshavin and turned his gaze again. "I'm thinking...... You say, when I kick off in the second half, I shoot straight from here...... What do you think? ”
