Chapter 178: A Crucial Battle (First Update)

The Champions League match between Napoli and Manchester United was hyped by the media before the game.

But the game had nothing to do with Chen Yingxing, who could only sit in the VIP box at the São Paulo Stadium and watch it.

It's not easy to be a bystander, especially when your team is still in a very dangerous situation and you can't use your strength.

Whether Napoli's prospects of qualifying from the group can turn a turning point will all depend on this game.

Thirty minutes into the game and the score was 0-0, with United apparently hearing about Napoli's might at home, Ferguson's side were cautious on the road and didn't go all out.

Against Manchester United, who are shrinking defensively, Napoli don't have much to do. At times like these, Napoli need a strong centre-forward, and once they have a strong centre-forward, it is not an impossible task to break down dense defences.

But the strong center is not there.

'The only advantage Napoli have is that they are playing on their home turf. But this advantage really doesn't make their supporters feel safe...... I believe that Napoli fans must miss Chen Yingying very much, of course, many people will not admit it, hahaha! The narrator laughed himself.

The bad relationship between Chen Yingying and Napoli fans is known to the whole world.

Although there has been some improvement so far, it still gives the impression that he has a strained relationship with Napoli fans.

This can be heard from the boos that still sound after Chen Yingying's goal every time.

Chen Yingying rolled his eyes when he heard the narrator's voice.

Cabriella, who was sitting next to him and was acting as a bodyguard, noticed that Chen Yingying had an indifferent expression on his face, but his hands were clenched very tightly.

Chen Yingying will watch every team's Champions League game, come to the scene at home, and come to the away game in front of the TV. Whether it's home or away, it's Cabrera who sits next to him.

Cabriela has seen this action I don't know how many times.

She wanted to comfort and comfort the nervous Chen Yingying, although she didn't know why she thought about it, but she just felt that she should comfort him ().

"Don't worry, it's still a draw." She said.

Chen Yingying heard her words and turned to look at her.

"Thank you for your comfort." "But I'm not nervous." ”

"You've been clenching your fists. That's how nervousness manifests. Cabriela gestured to his fist.

Chen Yingying lowered his head, he released his fist, and then clenched it again.

"I'm accumulating energy." He said to Cabriella.

"Charge?" Cabriera frowned. This woman usually keeps her face up and doesn't smile, so even if she frowns now, she looks very good-looking and charming, and her expression makes her look very vivid.

Chen Yingying smiled: "Yes, charge your strength." Have you ever played a video game? The kind of fighting? ”

"Nope." Cabriera shook her head honestly.

"Oh, a setting in a fighting game that can charge up."

"What happens when you have enough power?"

"It's going to be more powerful than usual! The whole person is sparkling, like a super soldier! ”

"So ......"

"So I'm just charging up now!" Chen Yingying released his fist again and clenched it again.

"Stocked up?"

"Not yet, I'll be full when the group stage is over. And then...... Then I'll turn into a super soldier and settle accounts with them! Chen Yingying turned his gaze back and continued to watch the game. I want them to know how terrible a hungry bear is......"

※※※

Napoli and Manchester United played 0-0 in the first half, while in the other game, the news came that Valencia, who were playing at home, led Rangers 1-0 in the first half.

Valencia would be five points clear of Rangers by five points if they win this game, while Napoli will be bottom of the table if they can't win.

This is certainly not what Napoli fans want to see, especially with Valencia's lead.

Since Valencia and Napoli played at home, they had the advantage, and if they were ahead now, they would be able to play with ease, and if Napoli lost to Valencia again, it would be completely useless.

So this game must be won, especially if Valencia win against Rangers.

Napoli fans were not in high mood at half-time because of this.

At half-time, Cabriela was chatting with Chen Yingxing, and like the rest of the fans, their topic was this game.

"You're really not worried that your team won't win?" Cabrera asked.

"I'm sure they won't worry and disappoint me." Chen Yingying replied.

"Why?"

"Because we were teammates, they promised me to go to the knockout rounds. If you promise someone something, you have to do it, or don't worry. Speaking of this, Chen Yingying paused. Because he suddenly thought of the bet he had with Chen Xing.

If you promise someone else, you must do it!

This time, I put myself in it......

Oops, what a headache ().

In recent times, he has been busy scoring goals in the league and sharing the pressure for the team in the Champions League.

Chen Yingying has not paid attention to the latest progress of Chen Xing's acquisition of Liverpool for a long time, and he doesn't know what it is.

It stands to reason that there should be results in October, but it's November 2nd, why hasn't there been any movement yet? Could it be that if he failed, Chen Xing felt that he had no face, so he didn't call himself?

He plans to wait for the game to be over and check online to see if there is a final outcome of the Liverpool takeover.

But for now, let's watch the game in front of us.

※※※

Ten minutes into the second half, Napoli took a chance.

Raul seized that opportunity, to be exact.

Manchester United's centre-back Nemanja Vidic made a mistake when he couldn't get Hamsik's through ball to Raul.

After Raul was offside, he received the ball behind the Manchester United backline, and then adjusted slightly and shot with his feet!

Just when Vidic leaked the ball, the commentator on the TV became excited: "He missed!" He leaked! He leaked! He didn't block the ball! Raul! Raul! Raul—"

With his roar, Raul kicked the ball towards the goal, and the ball arced right past Van der Sar's fingers before flying into the far corner......

Raul !! The Italian narrator was hoarse, and his voice sounded like crying (). “goooooooooooooooooooooooool!!! goooooooooooooooooooool!! ”

"Napoli have scored! Raul scores! They lead Manchester United 1-0 at home!! ”

There was a huge cheer from the stands, a very, very pure cheer, no boos at all.

Raul is not Chen Yingying, he is very popular.

Watching the football fly into the goal, Chen Yingying also jumped up from his seat, raised his arms and shouted: "Well done!" It's beautiful!! ”

No one made a fuss about his swear words, because at this time, even in the VIP box, there were many swear words like this.

The entire St. Paul's Stadium became a sea of joy at this moment.

Everyone was chanting, "Raul! Raul! Raul! Raul!! "It's the sound that has become the leitmotif of the São Paulo Stadium, and it's hard to hear anything else.

The Napoli fans were shouting so loudly because they knew very well what the goal meant for the team.

If Napoli can win Manchester United at home, there will be a play to qualify from the group!

After the goal, Raul did not kiss his hand in a very chic manner, and scored such a crucial goal in such an important game, even Raul did not keep his composure. Or rather, he was also infected by the crazy atmosphere of the São Paulo Stadium!

He ran all the way with open arms, and then rushed to the bench with a group of teammates.

It became the busiest area.

※※※

"Napoli take the lead at home! This is a very critical moment ()! If Napoli can win this game, they will accumulate five points and will be in a strong position in the race to qualify from the group! ”

"Raul! Raul! He proved himself worthy of the title of Champions League king! He is the number one scorer in the Champions League! It was his 68th goal in the Champions League! Since joining Napoli, Raul has not found his form immediately for a while, and although his goals are few, they are very important! ”

"This is Raul! This is Raul! This is Raul of Real Madrid. Gonzalez! "The Spanish commentators were particularly excited because Raul did so well and they had a light on their faces." He is a legendary goalscorer who came out of Real Madrid! No matter where he is, he will become a legend as well! ”

※※※

After Raul's goal, Napoli's Sao Paulo stadium erupted with a huge aura that stunned the United players. Each of them was shaken by a huge cheer, and the frenetic home atmosphere was rare even at Old Trafford.

Ferguson sat in the dugout, Raul's goal didn't get him up, but the cheers at the St Paul's stadium moved him.

He can now understand why any team that comes to this stadium will say that it is the devil's away.

Fighting in such an atmosphere, Napoli looked like they were invincible.

They're all Supermen.

It's not easy to play away from home like this......

※※※

After the restart, the atmosphere had not yet cooled down, and the Napoli fans were still cheering and singing at the top of their voices.

After Chen Yingying slapped his slap and sat down, he couldn't help but pat his thigh, and kept applauding.

The whole São Paulo Stadium was plunged into great excitement ().

Mazzal, however, was only excited for a moment, and now he had calmed down. In fact, he calmed down much earlier. As the players celebrated their goals, he pulled them one by one, reminding them to pay special attention to the defense and watch out for Manchester United's counter-attack.

Indeed, the backward United launched a fierce attack on the Napoli goal, and the game after the lead was even more difficult to play.

Every minute, the hearts of Napoli fans hang for fear of the goal being breached.

Mazzari, on the other hand, also made adjustments, strengthening the defense and giving up the attack.

For Napoli, a one-goal win is the same as a three-goal win.

As long as the team can win, get the three points.

Although the stubborn defense is a bit too conservative, there is nothing else to do at the moment, and if they continue to attack Manchester United, the possibility of losing will be very high. Sticking to it may be ugly, but the result is good.

※※※

Eventually, when the referee blew the whistle for the end of the match, the entire São Paulo stadium was in a state of flux.

Because of them, the victory over Manchester United!

Beat Manchester United at home in a situation that is almost unfavorable!

And Ferguson's team suffered their first defeat in the Champions League of the new season!

While the Napoli fans were still cheering in their seats, Chen Yingying had already stood up from his seats.

"I smell fresh meat."

Chen Yingying looked up at his Cabrera and grinned.
