Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Focus Battle (First Update)
“....... Hero: The record is to be broken again! ”
Mourinho put the newspaper down with his characteristic elusive smile on his face, and when he crooked his mouth and laughed, you don't know if he was happy, sarcastic, or despised you. \
He got up and walked to the office door, where a new day of training was waiting for him.
On the sidelines of the training ground, he was surrounded by the media. During the fifteen minutes of public training, the reporters were free to do their own thing.
"Jose, what do you think of Chen Yingying's words?"
"Do you have the confidence to defend your unbeaten record at home?"
The reporters raised the microphone and reached out to him while shouting in their mouths.
Jose Mourinho stood in front of the journalists.
"He has a point, the only reason for any record to exist is to be broken." The Portuguese's first words made many journalists fall through the glasses. "But he wasn't the one who broke the record."
This second sentence made many reporters secretly breathe a sigh of relief, one by one, this is Jose Mourinho's style!
With Mourinho spending a year in Italy, everyone has gradually become accustomed to his style, and although it still annoys many people, especially the coaches in the circle, the journalists love it. Because there is such a person, they have no shortage of news hype.
Chen Yingying's arrival also brought the same feeling, and on the first day of his arrival, it aroused the attention of Italy, causing riots throughout the city of Naples. There has never been a player who has been able to toss such a big move when he joins. When Maradona came to Naples, the São Paulo Stadium was crowded into 80,000 fans, and these more than 80,000 people still paid for tickets to enter the Napoli club to welcome Maradona. These people are just there to catch a glimpse of the legendary Maradona.
The way Maradona arrived at the pitch by helicopter was also unique, no one else had the effect.
But Maradona didn't let the whole of Napoli riot, let the fans and police officers attack each other, overturn the police car, and throw stones, right?
So this player, who tossed out more than Maradona's movement as soon as he came, was naturally very popular with the media.
The last time these two men collided, it was a lot of excitement for journalists.
This time, they didn't disappoint the reporters who were waiting to see the show.
You come and go,-for-tat, no one obeys anyone, and you have a life-and-death posture.
But readers love to read stories like this.
"I don't think Napoli can compare to Inter Milan... It's not that I'm saying this to deliberately provoke them, I'm telling the truth. The Inter coach shrugged his shoulders, "In terms of strength, they are not at the same level as us at all. This is our home stadium and we are not afraid of anyone and any team here. ”
Mourinho's attitude is very tough and he has no intention of backing down.

Mourinho had a tough attitude in the interview, and it seemed that he definitely did not want his unbeaten home record to be broken by Chen Yingying... In other words, this Inter Milan will also do their best to ......."
“...... In terms of strength, Inter Milan is certainly a notch better than Napoli. In terms of the current form of both sides, Napoli are not dominant, Inter Milan have won five consecutive league games, and the most noteworthy thing is that they beat AC Milan 4-0 away in the Milan derby in the second round of the league! With this big win, Inter Milan jumped to the top of the domestic league. This time it's on their home turf, and Inter Milan is up against that
Naples, I don't think Napoli has the advantage...."
'Napoli beat Inter Milan at home last season, causing Jose Mourinho's side a bit of a problem before they got to the base early. Although it did not prevent Inter Milan from winning the championship in advance, it made Mourinho's heart block a stone, and I believe he must be very unhappy..."
"We have to relive the second leg of last season when the two teams met... The scene of Chen Yingying rushing to Mourinho and lifting his shirt to celebrate after scoring a goal can be called one of the classic shots of the league last season. It's this shot....... "The TV screen showed Chen Yingying's celebration after his goal, and in the chaotic scene, only he and Mourinho kept their original postures, silently showing their might to each other.
This scene is indeed quite classic, and it has been repeated on many Italian television stations.
“...... Needless to say, the hatred between these two teams is not too much to say, and everyone has seen the war of words between the two teams last season...... The feud between Jose Mourinho and Chen Hung alone is enough for us to write an entire page, so this game is important for both of them......"
"In short, this will be the highlight of this round of the league!"
Before the match even started, the Italian media had already done their best to hype up the match.

Chen Yingying did not continue to respond to Mourinho's tough attitude, and his own attitude was very resolute. But this thing is very weak in words, and it must be proved with ironclad facts!
So he held back his energy until the time of the game and went to talk to Mourinho for a lesson or two.
This time, he didn't have any T-shirts with words written all over them. He no longer needs to prove to Mourinho who he is, and Mourinho is also very smart this time and does not say any more stupid things like "who is Chen Yingying".
Both sides have already reported their own names, and this knife is no longer a nameless ghost.
Like the last time the two sides met, Chen Yingying scored a goal and ran to Mourinho to demonstrate and show who he was, and it is estimated that this game will not be repeated.

After some struggles, Mazzari finally decided to put the best team against Inter. On the one hand, there are still six days left before the Champions League group stage, and it is impossible to rotate at this time. On the other hand, this game has been hyped up by the media, and the whole of Italy is discussing the confrontation between the two teams, even if the strength is not as good as the other party, it is not possible to admit defeat in advance. Otherwise, how can he, as a manager, maintain his authority in front of the players?
You know, it was in the dressing room at Anfield that he said impassionedly to his players: "We want to revive the Napoli banner and tell them that none of us are afraid".
If he faced Inter Milan, he was timid before he fought and replaced with a bunch of substitutes, wouldn't this be a slap in the face?
If you do this, how can you motivate the players in the future?
Napoli's players are a bit wild, and these players are easy to manage, but also very difficult to manage. Well, it means that if they recognize you, they will listen to you. It doesn't mean that if you dislike them, these thorns don't know what tricks they will come up with......
As long as you touch someone's temper, you can make this team strong enough to fight.
Their temper is like that of the city of Naples and its people, who will never bow down to the great powers and fight to the end against the rich capitalists of the north.
When the other party is strong, they will have fighting spirit. On the contrary, if the other person is too weak, they will lose interest...
This is also one reason for the team's ups and downs.
Therefore, if Mazzarilla takes the initiative to show weakness in Meazza, it will not only affect the team's results in the league, but also affect the team's morale, which will lead to the collapse of the Champions League. He didn't dare to take this risk, it was bigger than the loss of the player's injury, one by one the player was injured, and there were substitutes, and he could adjust his tactics to make up for it, but the military spirit and fighting spirit of a team were gone, but it was really a piece of loose sand......
This is a common occurrence in football.
For example, Udinese is not weak, and the team is well-managed, but why are the results always poor, and no one thinks that they will be the kind of team that has the ability to threaten the giants?
Just because of the big "profits" and "short-sightedness" of this team, buying young players at a low price and selling them at a high price are their characteristics, and everyone knows them. As long as the team improves and enters the European competition, the team is definitely not thinking about buying strong players and making it in Europe, but ...... While the players can still afford to sell the price, sell all the ministers who can enter the European competition to make money! Then go around to search for young players who have potential but are not well-known, grab them at a low price to train them for a few years, and then wait for the next time they have the opportunity to go to Europe again, and then sell them after training......
With such a team, it is no wonder that it has always been the life of the midstream team, and it is clear that it has the conditions, but it can't get up.
Mazzarri doesn't want Napoli to be that team.
His boss, Aurelio de Laurentiis, has ambitions, so why not? He wants to restore Napoli to its glory and to become that man in history.
That's why it's important to reunite the Neapolitan spirit.
The fighting spirit of an army is tempered in blood and fire through one tough battle after another. The same is true for the team, if a team can only bully and bully a team that is weaker than itself or has the same strength as itself, but takes the initiative to surrender in the face of a strong team, is vulnerable and has no fighting spirit, there is no future at all.
Mazzarri doesn't know what the team's final result will be this season, but it is a very important season. Because this is his first full season with Napoli, he wants to instill his philosophy in this team.
Dare to go head-to-head with a strong team is one of the necessary qualities.
For this reason, Mazzari gritted his teeth and discharged the strongest lineup, going to Meaza and Inter Milan to fight to the death! ** Hero
