Chapter 71 Champions League qualification locking (the first update is guaranteed, ask for a monthly ticket!) ）

In the last game against Chievo, many Napoli football 'fans' were actually very nervous.

Things that fall short have happened too many times in the world of football, and they haven't seen or heard of them.

But thirteen minutes into the game, Chen Yingying gave them a reassurance.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

'His 24th goal of the season is incredible, three-quarters of those 24 goals have come in the second half of the season – a horrible goalscoring efficiency'

"Chievo's backline was a bit distracted by a powerful long-range shot, and they paid a terrible price for it"

The rivalry between Napoli and Genoa came to a fever pitch in the final round, with neither team facing strong opponents in the final round. Napoli's opponent Chievo has already been relegated early, but it is too far from European qualification, and this game can be described as no 'desire'.

And what about Genoa? Their opponents are even more wantless, as 19th-placed Lecce have already been relegated early......

The two teams competed on different pitches.

In the fourth minute, Genoa opened the scoring when they broke through Lecce's big 'goal'.

At that time, there was a huge boo at the St. Paul's Stadium, which made people think that Chen Yingying had won the ball again. But it was actually Hamsik who was in possession of the ball.

The boo told the Napoli players on the pitch that their opponent Genoa had scored

Napoli, who were 'provoked' by the stab, stepped up their offensive and succeeded in nine minutes later, Chen Yingying took the lead with a powerful 'volley' and 'shot'.

Now, the hearts that were still restless before have finally gained peace - as long as Napoli can win the game, no matter what the result is on the Genoa side, even if Genoa beat Lecce 50-0, they can only play the League Cup, and the Champions League qualification belongs to Napoli

After Chen Yingying's goal, there were more people cheering for him, and the cheers once again overpowered the boos of the extreme ball 'fans'.

Genoa's side obviously knew the situation on the Napoli side, so five minutes after Chen Yingying's goal, Genoa scored again. They have a 2-0 lead over Lecce at home and look to be on a firm footing with Napoli over Chievo 1-0.

However, this time without waiting for Napoli to fight back with a goal, Genoa themselves suffered a little distraction - despite the early relegation, Lecce did not intend to be a complete loser, this game they are not fighting for survival, they are fighting for dignity.

In the 31st minute, Lecce pulled a goal back to close the gap between the two sides to one goal. The atmosphere at Genoa's home stadium suddenly became a little tense.

Compared with Lecce, Napoli's opponent Chievo is much gentler, they have been relegated in advance, and they don't need to fight for dignity, because they can continue to stay in Serie A next season, and this season is considered to have completed the task for a team like them, and there are no regrets. They are truly without 'desire' and without desire.

So even if Napoli bombarded their goal, Chievo didn't react.

In the 41st minute, Arshavin burst into the penalty area and was brought to the ground by a Chievo player, and the referee decisively awarded a penalty. There were huge cheers on the pitch in São Paulo.

Penalties

It's almost a sure chance to enter

The goal basically means that the suspense of this game is over, and Napoli have entered the Champions League qualification round next season

The man who took the penalty was Hamsik, who smashed the penalty created by Arshavin into it.

"2-0 Napoli lead Chievo by two goals at home, judging from Chievo's own performance, they seem to have no fighting spirit and are completely unable to threaten Napoli's goal ......"

After the goal, the Napoli players celebrated very long and crazy.

Because everyone knows that their qualification for next season's Champions League is a sure thing

The fans in the stands also chanted: "The Champions League is coming—"

The excited ball fans lit the signal flares, and the blue smoke spread over the stands, and in the stands where the extreme ball fans and hardcore ball fans gathered, hundreds of white paper tapes were thrown from the stands to the stadium, especially near the two ball goals, and they were even covered by the white paper tapes.

This is a unique sight at the São Paulo Stadium, where fireworks are set off, but here, it's a world of paper tapes. It looks like a South American stadium, considering that Maradona once left a very deep mark here, so this characteristic may have been learned by Napoli football fans from Argentine football fans at that time......

"In the first half of the season, no one would have imagined that Napoli would qualify for next season's Champions League, even if it was just qualifying...... They have been slipping down the league table, being eliminated from the group stage of the League Cup, the team is infighting, and the meritorious manager is sacking...... But now their fans and players are celebrating their Champions League next season, which is unbelievable."

Before the end of the first half, Genoa finally widened the gap to two goals. They thought they would be able to continue to put pressure on Napoli, who were only one goal ahead and more dangerous than themselves...... Unexpectedly, at halftime, everyone heard bad news.

Napoli scored again

The 2-0 scoreline was a boulder in the hearts of all Genoa, who had already had their best season and could not have imagined that they would qualify for the Champions League.

But falling short in the final round of the league, they are about to lose this qualification, who can feel good?

※ ※ ※

Unlike Genoa's somewhat oppressive dressing room, on the Napoli side, the players couldn't wait to cheer as soon as they entered the dressing room, and many of them even started celebrating the Champions League in advance.

"Champions League, Champions League, Oh Lai—" Some even sang their own songs.

When Mazzari came in, he had to keep a straight face and remind everyone not to be too happy, but seeing the excitement of the players, he changed his mind at the moment. He thought that a two-goal lead should not be a big problem, and there was basically no suspense about the outcome of this game. Everyone worked hard for a season...... No, it's half a season, it's really not easy to have such a result, it's the last half, it's good for them to vent their emotions in their hearts. If I reprimand them with a straight face, it may also blow their morale and pour cold water on them, but it will make them play poorly in the second half.

So he smiled and congratulated everyone: "You deserve it, guys, let's seal the win in the second half and celebrate when the time comes"

The manager allowed them to celebrate, the players were happy, they cheered and Mazzal's status in their hearts was another level.

Seeing the elated appearance of his teammates, Ravitch pouted. Napoli is only participating in the Champions League qualifying round, and Juventus, which he is going to, is the third in the league and can directly participate in the Champions League

What's so nice about playing in the qualifiers? If you are eliminated in the qualifying round, you will not be able to participate in the Champions League

He was completely excluded from the starting lineup by Mazzar in this half season, and basically did not play any opportunities except for occasional substitutes. Arshavin is in good form, not injured and has no fitness problems, so he doesn't get any chance to play at all.

Marginalized in the lineup, he was gradually marginalized in the dressing room. Now Chen Yingying is a celebrity in the locker room, he is enthusiastic and cheerful, his 'sexual' personality is lively, left and right, and likable. It's completely different from Ravitch, who is a little arrogant in his 'sex'.

For the loser, Chen Yingying did not cast the slightest sympathy. For half a season, he had almost forgotten about Ravitch.

Now he has to celebrate with his teammates.

In the second half, the suspense was lost in the outcome or something.

Now there is still a suspense.

Chen Yingying scored one goal, and his total number of goals this season has reached 24, surpassing striker Di Vayo who plays for Bologna and rising to second in the 'goalscorer' list, can he win the league's best 'goalscorer'?

But in the first half, Ibrahimovic also scored, and now he has twenty-six goals instead of twenty-five. The gap between him and Chen Yingxing is still two goals.

However, for Ibrahimovic, Chen Yingying still puts a lot of pressure on him.

On Inter Milan's side, although they have already won the league title, there are still people who are concerned about the Napoli game because the competition between Chen Yingying and Ibrahimovic continues. Even in the coach's seat at Inter Milan, some coaches wore headphones and cared about whether Chen Yingying had scored a goal.

The first thing Ibrahimovic did at half-time was to go to the staff and ask for news from Napoli and whether Chen Yingying had scored. Mourinho was ostensibly dismissive of the man, but Ibrahimovic was still concerned. After all, the number of goals scored by the two is only one or two......

He never imagined that a striker who had scored only six goals in the first half of the season would be so close to him in second place on the scorers' list. He has even developed fears that he might lose his best 'shooter'. So in this last round of the league, although Inter Milan has already won the league championship in advance, he is still full of fighting spirit. He wants to score goals, he wants to score more goals to make sure he gets the league's top scorer.

In such a situation, it is really interesting to think back to Mourinho's evaluation of Chen Yingying......
