Chapter 56: After the Champions League (First Update, Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )
Chapter 56 After the Champions League (the first update, ask for a monthly ticket ()!) )
When the game ended, Napoli's home stadium, the Stadio de São Paulo, was a sea of joy, and the Napoli fans threw paper tapes in their hands onto the pitch, and the pitch near the two goals was almost covered in white paper tapes. Throwing paper tape is a special scenery at the São Paulo stadium, which you can't see in other Serie A stadiums, and it has a South American style.
The more paper tapes are tossed, the more it says how excited these fans are.
The live radio was yelling: "This is the first victory in eighteen years!" Rejoice! ”
So the fans responded to him with wave after wave of cheers.
Napoli's players also looked excited as it was their first Champions League victory. And it was Lyon who won the first team in the group before!
At the same time, in the other group stage, Liverpool was held to a 2-2 draw away by Zenit St. Petersburg.
As a result, Napoli have risen to the top of the group, with their current four points being the highest in the group.

"This is a great victory!"
The next day, the local newspaper, the Morning Post, had such a headline on its front page.
It's really just a normal Champions League group stage, and for those teams who regularly play in the Champions League, a win is a welcome one, but it doesn't have to rise to the point of greatness.
But for the Napolins, this ordinary Champions League group stage victory means a lot (). Because after 18 years, in the Champions League main match once, this is their first victory.
This means that the process of Napoli Phoenix Nirvana has come to a very critical juncture. The Champions League will be the stage for Napoli to truly regain its glory, and their revival will be convincing only if they can achieve excellent results in the Champions League.
Otherwise, it's like playing soy sauce in the group stage of the Champions League and then rolling back to the domestic league, so what's the point? There are many teams who are ecstatic when they enter the Champions League and don't want to make a difference in the Champions League at all. There are also some teams that enter the Champions League and start selling their players to cash out and make money.
Napoli is different from them, this is a team with a championship heart, Napoli in the Maradona era once dominated, swept the Serie A, and Inter Milan with the German troika, and AC Milan with the Dutch trio, as well as the traditional powerhouse Juventus, and also had brilliant results in the European competition.
They are just a tiger in Pingyang now, and they are definitely not willing to be bullied by dogs for the rest of their lives.
Naturally, the victory in this game will be interpreted in many other ways.
After all, the glory of Maradona's era has passed for too long, and every Neapolitan is eager to recreate it and make them re-elevate their eyebrows in Italian and European football.
The media was excited, but there was relative calm within the Napoli squad.
With one game left at the weekend, Mazzarri only gave the team half a day off.
When they regrouped, the manager's first words were: "Forget yesterday's win, let's start again." ”
Napoli fans and media can give that Champions League group stage a lot of meaning in one way or another, but for Napoli's players and coaches, it's just an ordinary game. Of course, it is worth rejoicing to win, but there is no need to be happy for days, and the whole week is counting on those 90 minutes of joy to live ().

After the match against Lyon, Napoli will travel to Roma to take on Roma.
Having just played three games in six days against Lyon, the whole team was tired, and this time it was still an away game, and Mazzarri thought about it. Although the match against Roma was a big deal for many Napoli fans, he decided to rotate it.
Most of the players who have played in the Champions League have not even been included in the squad this time.
However, Mazari remembered this time, and he first asked Chen Yingying if he wanted to choose to rest.
"Of course not!" Chen Yingying replied very simply: "I don't need to rest, coach." I can fight non-stop 24 hours a day, 7 times a week! ”
Mazari smiled, "You're not a robot. Okay, I'll take you there, but I could replace you at any time. ”
Like Chen Yingying, there is Cassano who chose not to rest - for the player who played for Roma for many years but eventually parted ways with Roma, it is exciting to be able to return to the Olympic Stadium in Rome.
He wasn't excited to get back to his fans and pay tribute to his favorite team – he was excited because he had the opportunity to slap the Romans in the face!
When Cassano left Rome, he fell out with almost everyone, and many people laughed at him and attacked him, but now that he has regained his place in Naples and regained his youth, he naturally can't wait to slap Rome in the face, let them see that the bad boy who once fled Rome with his tail between his tail is doing well!
So he didn't want to rest, so he had to start with Chen Yingying.
"The game against Roma has a special meaning for me and I have to play!"
In this way, in the game against Roma, Chen Yingying and Cassano joined forces and continued to start ().
But the two of them couldn't score and the team couldn't win.
Napoli, who rotated the vast majority of their starters, lost 2-1 away to Roma.
In this game, Chen Yingying was very closely defended.
This is not surprising, as Roma were the first unlucky to see Chen Yingxing's murder last season, and they were poured four goals in one go by a sudden explosion of Chen Yingying at the Sao Paulo Stadium, and the first senior of Chen's career was born at the Roma. The Romans were so impressed with him, how could they not want to do something to contain Chen Yingying?
Without the support of his teammates, Chen Yingying, who only had one Cassano and his partner, had few opportunities and did not play his due role.
What about Cassano? He seems to have put all his energy into competing with the Roma fans who booed him. In the 69th minute of the game, he also received a yellow card for colliding with the referee.
At that time, he heard the laughter of the fans in the stands, and Cassano, who was full of enthusiasm, instantly lost his mind, and he applauded and gave a thumbs up to the referee who gave him a yellow card, but the referee gave him another yellow card, and then changed it to a red card, pointing to the sidelines, signaling Cassano to leave the field.
Mazzari was so angry on the sidelines, he roared at the field: "What are you doing, Antonio! ”
"Ahhh Cassano's brain is short-circuited again! The Italian commentator scoffed. He received two yellow cards in half a minute and was sent off! ”
The red card was sent off, which made Cassano very dissatisfied, and he also wanted to find the referee to theorize, but was stopped by Blasi.
He dragged Cassano to the sidelines.
Napoli, who had one less man, was even more invincible to Rome and was finally defeated. It was not Chen Yingying or Cassano who scored a goal for Napoli, but Datolo, and it was also the first official goal scored by the Argentine for Napoli.
After the game, Chen Yingying comforted the depressed and unwilling Cassano in the locker room: "Next time we will destroy them together at their home stadium!" ”
Mazzari returned to the locker room to see Cassano looking disgruntled—he was even angrier than he seemed to be.
So the head coach couldn't get angry.
"Forget it, Antonio." He comforted Cassano. "I know you didn't mean to get a red card, I hope you learn the lesson this time and control your temper."
Cassano, who was still angry, was silent.
Losing is not something that everyone feels good about, Cassano lost the opportunity for revenge and instead became the laughing stock of Roma fans, and he was angry.
Chen Yingying was also in a bad mood because he had less experience of 100,000 years......
Two depressed men went to a nightclub together at night, and went crazy with a woman in their arms in the nightclub, which eliminated the unhappiness of losing.
※※※
Although he lost, Chen Yingying's popularity is increasing day by day.
Last season's Serie A Golden Boot, this season's Serie A has only started seven rounds, and he has scored six goals and is the favorite for the Serie A Golden Boot. In addition, he has scored two goals in two games in the Champions League and is in good form.
Chen Yingying has attracted more people's attention.
Dracula said that he was very busy, but he was not busy with vacation, and Chen Yingxing's business development was all handled by him alone. Vera was left behind in St. Petersburg to deal with lawsuits and other matters, and he himself flew around the world to endorse Chen Yingying's sponsorship and endorsement.
Nike, a well-known sports brand, also came to the door and signed a three-year endorsement contract with Chen Yingying, during which Chen Yingying was able to receive three million euros from Nike, although this figure could not be compared with Cristiano. World-class superstars like Ronaldo, Messi, and Kaka are on a par - every year Nike has to pay C. Ronaldo 6.5 million euros in endorsement fees - which is already the most expensive endorsement income signed by Chen Yingying since his debut.
Nike hopes to continue to expand its presence in the Chinese market by signing Chen Yingying. Because the analysis report clearly told them that at present, Chen Yingying, the most popular sports star in China, is the first person. Yao Ming and Liu Xiang's influence is not as good as before, although Chen Yingying has a rebellious personality and is very controversial, but his own temperament is also quite in line with Nike's promotional slogan "just_do_it" (do what you want).
In addition to endorsing Nike, Chen Yingying's endorsement contracts are also increasing.
Dracula signed a lot of endorsement contracts for him in one go, from wearing to eating, from using to playing.
In addition to Nike, underwear is used to using male stars as endorsements, so it is very well-known. Chen Yingying has a strong body, with well-defined upper and lower muscles, and is full of wild atmosphere. In particular, he likes to strip and celebrate after scoring goals, which makes him even more famous.
Choosing him as an endorsement is not suitable.
In his latest advertising photo shoot for CK, he shows his explanatory muscles and his trademark giant bear tattoo on his upper body, and only a pair of white CK briefs on his lower body, which makes the thing between his legs stand out and be particularly large...... made many women drool.
The photo also caused a small storm - some media questioned that Chen Yingying's photos were post-processed because they looked too big...... Their reason was ridiculous that "Asians can't have such a huge size", to which Chen Yingying responded: "Is it such a big size, they can pay a few women to try it, and we can also do notarization." ”
This thing is really boring, so the media did not continue to follow up on the hype, and Chen Yingying did not chase after him, so it became a talking point among the fans ().
In terms of food, he endorsed an Egyptian cheese brand with an interesting name. It is clearly an Egyptian product, and it is a very Westernized food, but it has to be named...... Panda. Yes, "panda" brand cheese! Chen Yingying, a brand of cheese, had never heard of it before, and the other party told him that he was very famous in Egypt. He wanted to find himself, perhaps because he was a Chinese, and the panda was almost another famous brand in China, so he chose himself?
But he doesn't care so much, anyway, as long as people give money.
In addition, he also endorsed the Precor fitness equipment brand (Precor) to promote the new full set of strength fitness equipment. Chen Yingying is muscular and known for his strength on the court, and it is a pity not to be the endorsement of fitness equipment, so this time he signed him for a period of four years and 500,000 euros a year, also aiming at the Chinese market.
As a Chinese player, Chen Yingying, the only Chinese player with world-class reputation in football, the world's number one sport, will certainly be favored by many brands. In fact, it is not to favor him, but to favor the Chinese market behind him.
In addition, Chen Yingying also signed an endorsement for a football game. Acting as the spokesperson for ea_fifa_online2 in China. In fact, at the beginning, Chen Yingying hoped to get the endorsement contract of FIFA10, but FIFA10 has no promotion plan in China, and the spokespersons in other regions have already had other people, and their fame is not smaller than Chen Yingying.
So Chen Yingying can only retreat to the second. It happened that a domestic game company acted as an agent for fifa_online2, so Chen Yingying was found, and the two sides signed a two-year endorsement contract.
Chen Yingying's photo appeared on domestic game websites, and became the focus of Internet and media reports for a while.
