Although in the summer, Napoli bought some players and strengthened the bench thickness (). However, Napoli is still not extravagant enough to be like a real giant, with a set of lineups for the league, a set of teams for the cup, and the starting lineup for half a season in a row without the same......

Napoli under Mazzari continued to practice a limited rotation. This means that not everyone will rotate, and some positions will not rotate.

However, there is one position where Napoli practice a very extravagant rotation.

That's the center.

In the domestic league, Chen Yingying is the starting center forward and is the absolute tactical core. In the Champions League, everyone has to adjust and re-adapt to the tactics with Raul as the core of the attack.

So it's no wonder that Napoli's Champions League performance is very different from what they did last season, it's really the kind of transition that the whole Napoli team really needs time to get used to.

It's a whole new experience for Napoli and for Chen Yingying.

Napoli's two consecutive draws in the Champions League will naturally cause Napoli fans to worry about the future of the team, but there are also happy ones. It would have been better if Napoli had not been able to qualify from the group.

It's just that such people are in the minority after all ().

Even Barcelona actually expects Napoli to qualify from the group and then the two meet.

Because last season, Barcelona eliminated Napoli though. However, after the game, many media said that Barcelona was not victorious, and the reason why they were able to eliminate Napoli was entirely because of the help of UEFA.

There is little strong evidence for these conspiracy theories, other than the controversial verdict. However, it is very marketable, everyone is always dark in their hearts, and everyone has a devil in their hearts. And conspiracy theories are a good way to release the devil in everyone's heart in a way that everyone feels is reasonable.

Barcelona were also scolded after that game. Some people say that they are bullying, and some people say that they are all a group of performing artists...... Later, Butzkes's classic performance of covering his face and peeking at it made the whole Barcelona team sit on this name, and even La Masia, the world-famous Barcelona youth training base, has become "La Masia Film and Television College......

So Barcelona is actually holding their breath in their hearts. The heart said that if it weren't for you Naples, would we have borne so much infamy? Is our reputation so bad?

So don't look at Napoli clamoring for revenge on Barcelona. In fact, Barcelona also wants revenge.

They would love to meet Napoli again, either in the quarter-finals or in the final. This time, they want to beat Napoli in a dignified manner, erase all the infamy they have borne before, and let the world see that our Barcelona win depends on football skills and strength, not acting skills and so-called godfathers!

Although the center position can be rotated at will, other positions should not be so excessive. So Napoli always have to save their strength in the league for the Champions League. This is particularly true in the first and second league games of the Champions League group stage.

In the seventh round of the league, Napoli's five-game winning streak was terminated. Because they have a trip to Old Trafford in midweek to take on Manchester United, it wasn't an easy game to play.

In preparation for the game, Mazzari fielded a second-tier squad consisting of a number of substitutes in the league, and all the starting line-ups were changed except for goalkeeper De Sanctis and centre-forward Chen Yingying.

In the end, Napoli drew 1:1 with Catania away from home, and Chen Yingying, who lacked support, did not score.

Although they did not win, 17 points still put Napoli at the top of the league table, only one point away from being chased by Lazio behind them.

After this game, Napoli will go to challenge Manchester United away.

Almost no one was optimistic about Napoli before the game.

In fact, judging from the first half alone, the same was true.

Napoli were conceded three goals in the first half by Manchester United. The backline of Cannavaro, Ranocchia, Maggio and Cristo was completely beaten through a sieve by United's attacking prowess......

Nani scored twice in six minutes and sealed the win in the thirteenth minute.

In the forty-second minute, Park Ji-sung added the icing on the cake.

The Italian commentator lamented: "Napoli without heroes is like a tiger with its claws removed......"

Just when everyone was saddened by Napoli's defeat, Napoli gave everyone a blow at the beginning of the second half.

They pulled a goal back!

※※※

"Forty-fifth minute! Naples' Arshavin rode alone! Beautiful goal!! ”

The narrator's excited howl was heard on the TV, and Chen Yingying jumped up from the sofa, raised his arms and shouted: "Long live Shawa ()!" ”

Cabrera next to him couldn't help but smile when he saw Chen Yingying so excited.

This man didn't act like the big star at all, more like an ordinary fan.

※※※

However, Arshavin's goal only made Chen Yingying and other Napoli fans happy for a while, and then Napoli attacked fiercely, but they did not score for a long time.

Manchester United, on the other hand, played possession of the ball very well and coped with it with ease.

It wasn't until the 79th minute that Napoli scored the second goal from Crishitto. However, the team is still one goal behind Manchester United.

In the following time, Napoli attacked with all their might, completely fighting without defense, and Ferguson shrunk his defense to hold on to the lead.

The game was so intense that in the last ten minutes, there was a red card for each side. Goalscorer Krishto was sent off for his second yellow card of the game for overacting in a scramble with his opponent. Two minutes later, United's Andersson was also shown a red card for a dangerous flying tackle.

But no matter how ferocious the players fought and Napoli couldn't equalise, United held on to their win in the end.

2:3, Napoli suffered the first defeat of the new Champions League at Old Trafford.

On the other side, Rangers scored a goal each at home to Valencia and drew 1-1.

As a result, Manchester United won two and drew one, and finished top of the group with seven points. Napoli, on the other hand, dropped from second place in the group. The second place in the group became Glasgow Rangers with three games and three draws. Napoli are third with a goal advantage for the time being, while Valencia remain fourth, although they are already level on points with Napoli.

After three rounds, more than half of the group stage is over. Analysts believe that it is basically fair to say that Manchester United will have no big problem qualifying from this group as group winners.

The remaining three teams are still close in points and the situation is unknown.

However, Mazzar did not look too depressed when he spoke to the post-match press conference, expressing pride and pride in the performance of his players in the second half. He also said that as long as Napoli can show the same momentum in the second half of the next three group games, it will not be difficult to qualify from the group.

※※※

Back in the domestic league, Napoli returned from the defeat at Old Trafford, but Chen felt that spirit from his team-mates – the players weren't too depressed, they were full of fighting spirit and optimism. As Mazzari said, this spirit is Napoli's most valuable asset and most powerful weapon, and as long as they maintain this state of mind, it is not impossible for Napoli to qualify from the group...... It may not be possible to say how strong Napoli was last season, but what made them different from other teams was the fearless spirit that was not afraid of heaven and earth.

All Chen Yingying has to do is to play well in the league and lighten the burden on his teammates.

It just so happens that in the eighth round of the league, Napoli will welcome AC Milan at home.

It's not unusual for Napoli to play AC Milan, and it's not unusual for Chen Yingying to play AC Milan.

However, Chen Yingying has a chance to face Ibrahimovic again, who he doesn't look at. This is the first time that the two people have faced each other face-to-face since they had a sense of hostility.

This season, just as the summer transfer window was about to close, on 28 August, AC Milan announced the signing of Swedish god Tajbrahimovic on loan from Barcelona.

AC Milan also have the right of first refusal to buy Ibrahimovic for €24 million after the loan expires.

Ibrahimovic is delighted to be joining AC Milan and says he has joined one of the greatest clubs in the world, even better than Barcelona.

As a result, many Barcelona fans are very dissatisfied with the Swede's statement, and Ibrahimovic's desperate efforts to praise the new club when joining a team, and then belittle the old one, is really disliked.

Equally dissatisfied are Inter fans. As AC Milan's sworn enemies in the same city, they did not accept the superstar of Meacha at the beginning, but now they have become a member of AC Milan and have blown AC Milan into the sky.

It is said that some Chinese Inter Milan fans also gave Ibrahimovic a nickname, because Ibrahimovic's abbreviation in China is "Ibrahimovic", so they call Ibrahimovic "Lu Bu...... The meaning behind that is self-evident, and everyone in Chinese knows it.

Ibrahimovic kissed Barcelona's emblem when he joined Barcelona, which disgusted Inter Milan fans, and now that he has joined AC Milan, Inter Milan fans will not show him a good face.

In fact, Ibrahimovic has long had no place in Barcelona, and with the arrival of Villa this season, he has become a complete beggar. There is a big reason why Ibrahimovic chose to return to Serie A.

That is, Serie A has Chen Hero.

He left a season ago, and was considered by some media to be an escape from Chen Yingxing, which made him very unhappy.

So now when he decided to leave Barcelona, he chose Serie A without hesitation, and he wanted to prove with practical actions that he was not afraid of Chen Yingying at all. Those rumors about running to La Liga because he was afraid of competing with Chen Yingying are all rumors!

At the same time, he also wants to have a direct competition with Chen Yingying to prove that he is not as weak as Chen Yingying.

However, in seven rounds of the league, Napoli's Chen Yingying scored seven goals, while Ibrahimovic only scored one, and from this point of view, he is still inferior to Chen Yingying......
