Mazzalhi's first game in charge came two days after he became Napoli manager, and the short period of time left him at all unable to rebuild the team's tactics on his own. So he followed Rhea's tactics and copied everything without changing anything.

He even told the players to play the way they had done before.

This made Chen Yingying, who had great expectations for him at the beginning, a little disappointed - if it is still the same as before, what is the point of replacing you as the head coach? It's better to let Rhea stay still, at least Lao Tzu's door won't have to be blocked for several days......

As the saying goes, "changing hands is like changing knives", and a new head coach seems to bring good luck. Without any changes, and with no changes to the starting line-up, Napoli beat Siena 2-0 at their home stadium.

It's just because everyone wants to perform hard, to make a good impression on the new manager, to be able to take a good position in the manager's heart.

Chen Yingying worked very hard. He scored a goal in the game, and no one copied the short JJ or used the corner kick tactic. Some Italian media have given him the nickname "Mr. Corner", and I don't know if this is ironic or an alternative compliment......

The other scorer was Maggio.

Lavezzi went off and played seventy-five minutes without scoring a single goal, despite his efforts.

After this game, the team halted the downward trend, but Mazzarri did not make any changes.

On December 13, in the sixteenth round of the league, Napoli hosted Lecce with a score of 3:0

Chen Yingying has scored in two consecutive games, and this time his goal was finally scored not from a set-piece, but with a long-range shot from outside the box. He seemed to be taking turns showing his goalscoring weapon to the trusting manager, with headers in the last round of the league and this one turning into long-range shots.

And his rival up front, Lavezi, continues to have no show.

Lavezzi is also anxious, he also wants to use his performance to make a good impression on the new manager, but his luck is not with him......

In the game he had a very good break and then shot the goal, only to hit the post and bounce off the bottom line.

On December 18, Napoli's last League Cup group stage because before that, Napoli, who only accumulated one point, had basically bid farewell to the League Cup in advance, so in this game, Mazzari did not waste the physical strength of the main players, he lined up a substitute lineup to play, and the players who usually did not have much time on the field got the opportunity to play.

This Napoli team played quite tenacious, and no one produced a copy of the short JJ, but after all, there was no hope of qualifying, so in the end it still lost 0:1 at home to Kharkiv Metallurgy. In this way, he ended the League Cup journey with one draw and three losses.

The European tour, which had high expectations, was over.

Although it was decided a long time ago, many fans were still sad when they really said goodbye to Europe like this.

This time, there was no scolding and boos at the São Paulo Stadium, and the disturbances that had previously enveloped the St. Paul's Stadium were gone, leaving only sadness.

It's not just the Napoli fans who are saddened, but the Napoli players as well.

Quite a few players even cried.

Mazari could only comfort them one by one.

"Don't be sad, don't be sad. We will come back next year! ”,

December 21, the last league game before the winter break in Serie A. Napoli away to challenge the "Red Bull" Torino.

Mazzarri still didn't make any changes to the team's starting lineup and tactics in this game, so he took the team out with him.

He has used Rhea's tactics and lineup for three consecutive games, which makes everyone confused. Not only did the media find it strange, but the players also wondered - could it be that Mazzari had researched and found that only Rea's tactics were the most suitable for the current Napoli team? So what's the difference between him coming and Rhea staying?

Or is he more capable of handling locker room relationships than Rhea?

But at present, I haven't found any action against Chen Yingying's conflict with the Argentine Gang......

It was in this confusion that Napoli traveled away and then lost to Torino with a score of 0:1. The first half of Napoli's 2008-2009 season ended with a defeat.

None of the outside world knows what Mazzarri is doing, only Mazzalhi's colleagues and those on his Napoli coaching staff know what the new manager is up to.

He was studying the footage of the games and comparing them with the player information he had. Sometimes, he would discuss the tactics of the Rhea period with them and ask some questions. In addition, Arshavin, who will join the team during the winter break, also has information and game footage on his desk.

Arshavin's characteristics are somewhat similar to Lavezi's, his position and role on the pitch, and his style of play.

What will Lavezzi do when he comes?

In fact, from the beginning, Mazzar did not think that Lavezi was a rival to Chen Yingying, because the two positions were different. The breakup of Rhea with Lavezzi as the main force is ultimately due to the fact that he does not have a good center, Salayeta is useless, and Paulo Sousa is old and has limited skills.

It stands to reason that Chen Yingying's arrival should have helped Rhea solve this problem, but he thought that Rhea had already formed a mindset, felt that the tactics had been sharpened into a model, and it was too risky to revise them, so he still let Lavezzi serve as the main force of the breakup. However, Lavezi's shooting is average, and he is characterised by superb dribbling at his feet and sharp penetration with his speed, as well as wide crosses.

Mazzar believes that Lavezi's rival should actually be Arshavin, who will join the team in the second half of the season, and his arrival will inevitably squeeze Lavezi's living space.

So at first, he was very curious about why Laviczi got into trouble with Chen Yingying, but later learned that Chen Yingying's attitude towards Maradona angered Lavezzi, and the two had a personal grudge.

That's not going to work......

Chen Yingying's performance in these league games has satisfied Mazzal, although the overall tactics are not built around him, but he can still score six goals, which is already a very good result. Salayeta, who played his role last season, scored just four goals in 22 appearances, while Lavezzi scored only eleven goals in 35 appearances. From this point of view, this striker is really what he says he is - he can fight and score goals.

He suddenly felt sorry for Rhea - why didn't he know how to use such a good card in his hand?

Mazzarri watched four games, three of them in the league and one in the UEFA Cup group stage, and a new tactic was already taking shape in his mind.

The next step is to use the focus of the winter break to grind the team together.

He will suddenly change his tactics because, in a sense, this set of tactics is not much different from Rhea's tactics, and it can be said that it follows Rhea's tactical thinking, but in some places key adjustments have been made. So don't worry about the players not adapting, they are still more familiar. It can even be said that his tactics are a variant of Rhea's tactics.

In the second half of the season, Mazzarri plans to let Napoli play 343 instead, giving full play to the scoring ability of Chen Yingying, a high school striker who is "particularly capable of fighting and scoring".

This also solves the problem of the coexistence of Arshavin and Ravizi.

For Chen Yingying, the 2008-2009 Serie A season was a very hard and chaotic half season for him ().

On the one hand, he had to struggle to adapt to the Italian living environment, the food, the habits, the language and the poor traffic conditions in Naples. On the other hand, he has to try to adapt to the tactical characteristics of Italian football, so that he can run more in the game and not let the opponent easily target him. On top of that, he has to fight almost all of the Napoli media, most of the Italian media, the Napoli fans, his stubborn manager, and his teammates.

Non-stop fighting, fighting, fighting,......

In that situation, he still scored six league goals and one in the UEFA Cup.

In such a bad and chaotic half season, Chen Yingxing suddenly found himself soaring up one level in December!

Running to the mission instructions shows that he has completed two missions - "Golden Boot Success" and "Mission Impossible".

He won the Russian Superleague Golden Boot for the 2008 season!

He really won the Russian Premier League Golden Boot this season after only playing eleven rounds of league games!

Chen Yingying laughed out loud in front of the computer after seeing the prompts for the completion of these two tasks.

Arshavin also called him and told him about it, and his eyebrows fluttered when he talked about it, and told him about the situation on the Russian side. In the summer of 2008, Chen Yingying moved to Napoli and his league goalscorer Pavlyuchenko also left Spartak Moscow for Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League. So although Pavlyuchenko was in good scoring form in the first half of the season, he also lost the chance to compete for the Golden Boot. Next, the entire Russian Premier League watched CSKA Moscow's Brazilian center Love, start to break out, chasing the high-flying Chen Yingying.

One of the main themes in the second half of the Russian Premier League season is that the media is speculating whether Love can break Chen Yingxing's goal count and become the top scorer.

"You've become a benchmark for top scorers haha ()!" Arshavin laughed when he said this.

Chen Yingying also laughed, this feeling is indeed quite refreshing - he is high on the top, and the beings are desperately climbing up like ants, and he has the illusion of becoming a god.

Later, the media in St. Petersburg came out, and almost the entire Russian media cheered up this Brazilian, completely forgetting all the ridicule and discrimination they had made against this black man before.

CSKA Moscow is also helping Love surpass Chen Hero no one produced a copy of the short JJ. For the CSKA, the name Chen Yingying is an eternal pain for them, and if their teammates can destroy Chen Yingying's dream of winning the Golden Boot for a second time, it will undoubtedly be a powerful counterattack. So everyone watched Love's goals continue to climb up, getting closer to Chen Yingying's benchmark little by little.

It was finally stopped at the twentieth goal. In the last round of the league, Love tried his best, and CSKA Moscow also tried his best, but no goals were scored.

When the final whistle blew for the game, the commentator Yuri Petrov exclaimed: "He really did it!" He really did it! Won the league's top scorer in 11 rounds of the league! Twenty-one balls! Twenty-one balls! Scoring 21 goals in 11 league games, he has accomplished something that no one dared to think of before! It's incredible!! ”,

The "he" in Petrov's mouth is Chen Yingying.

Although in Italy, Chen Yingying is in trouble, but in Russia, he is still a legend. After the end of the season, the St. Petersburg media praised Chen Yingying as a "legend of the north" belonging to St. Petersburg.

The 2008 season of the Russian Superleague has come to an end, and Chen Yingying's legend in Russia has come to an end.

Next, it depends on whether he can write a legend of his own in the Apennines......

※※※ps, Chen Yingying's epic mission in Russia has finally been completed, so please wait and see, Chen Yingying will challenge the hellish mission in Italy!
