Chapter 25 Internal Conflict (Eruption!)

"The boo disappears? Idiotic!"

This is a banner hanging outside the training base in Fort Vortuno in Naples, which is a counterattack from Naples fans against Chen Yingxiong.

Just after the last round of the league, Chen Yingxiong said in an interview after the game that he would continue to score goals and used the goals to stop Napoli fans booing him.

This is the answer he got.

Naples fans have a clear distinction between love and hate. They are not the ones who will forgive Chen Yingxiong so easily. So they think that Chen Yingxiong can buy them by scoring goals, which is completely delusional.

After Chen Yingxiong scored his first Serie A goal, the Chinese media cheered and instantly picked Chen Yingxiong up to the clouds. It seemed that Chen Yingxiong could completely get rid of the current predicament, with a hat trick and a double score. The big four was easy for him and could be completed without any effort.

Some media also tried their best to be sensational, saying, "When Chen Yingxiong was tall, his hair and clothes fluttered in the wind in the booing of Naples fans. He shook his head and pushed the football into the goal... At this moment, we seemed familiar, but for a long time no see - the giant bear in Russia has woken up from hibernation!"

But the facts are cruel. The facts tell them that the giant bear just woke up by chance during a long hibernation process and fell asleep soon.

In the next game against Lazio, Chen Yingxiong started the game, but no goal was scored. In the 72nd minute, he was replaced by Salayeta.

However, this time the media focus is not on him, but on the conflict between Naples fans and Lazio fans.

Lazio's extreme fan organization "The irriducibilii" and Napoli's extreme fan organization "Napoli Ultras" clashed in the stands. The two sides threw burning signal flares, removed the seats and smashed them over, and burned each other's flags.

The conflict even interrupted the game for ten minutes before it could start again. A large number of police officers intervened and arrested many people to restore the game to normal.

Chen Yingxiong did not score in this game, and the entire Naples team was unable to score. They lost to Lazio in this chaotic game.

The league rankings fell to eighth place, and they were fifth before.

Next, Chen Yingxiong's performance in Naples was like a drowning person struggling in the water and trying to survive. He sometimes rose and sometimes sank, and the swelling water splashed everywhere, and the Chinese fans and Chinese media who were concerned about him were anxious.

On October 23, in Napoli's first League Cup group match, Chen Yingxiong still started, but he still failed to score. Napoli shook hands with Hertha Berlin 0:0 away.

However, in the ninth round of the league on October 29, in Napoli's 3-0 home victory over Regina, Chen Yingxiong scored a goal. In the corner kick, he headed the ball again and scored his second league goal this season.

After the game, some media commented that Chen Yingxiong seemed to be playing a "tug-of-war game" with Reya. Whenever Reya intends to give up on him, he will use a goal to regain his position. After all, Chen Yingxiong is a player bought by the club owner himself. As long as he can still score, Reya will not find a reason to put him on the bench...

And after he scored, everyone began to cheer for his recovery, but he lost the accuracy of shooting.

The ups and downs of the state are the best summary of Chen Yingxiong's performance during this period.

Perhaps it was because of the half season in Russia that was too crazy. Some media have complained that Edvorkat completely fully squeezed Chen Yingxiong's surplus value and allowed him to fight on both sides, starting almost every game. Chen Yingxiong's condition was crazy, but after madness, he was exhausted... He left his crazy state in St. Petersburg Zenit, but brought his exhausted body to Naples, so that he could be in good condition.

On November 2, Napoli challenged AC Milan away. Chen Yingxiong started and was replaced after 75 minutes. His condition fell into a downturn with the entire team. Midfielder Hamsik was suspended because he received a strange red card in the last game against Regina. Napoli, who lost his core and had no state, failed to score a goal and lost 0:1 away.

In the League Cup, Napoli lost to Galatasaray 0:2 at home, and the qualifying situation was in danger.

Back in the league, Napoli lost to Atlanta 1:3 away. Ravizzi helped the team score a goal, but it didn't help. In this game, Chen Yingxiong entered the roster but did not play. The reason given by Rea was still rotation.

Just when everyone thought Chen Yingxiong was in a slump again, he suddenly broke out unexpectedly. On November 23, in the 13th round of the league, Napoli faced Cagliari at home. The score of this game was 2:2, and Napoli's results still did not improve, but Chen Yingxiong's performance was very outstanding - he scored twice in the game!

Of course, both of these balls were scored in the set ball. But no matter how he entered, just enter.

In terms of team cooperation, Chen Yingxiong is still not as tacit as Ravizi and others, but he still wants to score a goal. What should he do? Settings are his only way. In settings, Rea arranged for him to be the main attacker, so he could only try his best to seize every settings opportunity and strive for his own interests and status.

A very strange situation occurred in Naples - Ravizi scored in the sports game, while Chen Yingxiong repeatedly headed the ball with a set ball.

Chen Yingxiong has not yet been integrated into the tactical system of Naples, and he has not integrated at all. He just wants to demonstrate to the head coach with goals to see who you choose!

For Rea, this is really a distressing thing.

Ravizzi is a star player in Naples and is known as "Maradona II". He has a more tacit understanding of his teammates, and the tactics of the whole team are related to him. But at the same time, Chen Yingxiong suddenly found his state and scored twice at once, showing an aggressive trend.

Logically speaking, for a head coach, both strikers can score goals, which is a good thing. But the relationship between Ravizi and Chen Yingxiong is not very good, and the two almost never contact each other on the court. At first, Ravizi did not pass the ball to Chen Yingxiong, but later Chen Yingxiong did not pass the ball to Ravizi. The football reached their feet and he could shoot, break through or pass it to his teammates, but he just didn't pass it to each other who were close to him.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see this contradiction. Italian media also reported the conflict in the Naples locker room, saying that Chen Yingxiong and the Argentine Gang did not speak at all in the locker room and did not communicate. They both thought each other was like air.

The Argentine gang is not the only Argentinian. In addition to the two Argentine players, there is also a Uruguayan Gargano. They all hate Chen Yingxiong because of Chen Yingxiong's remarks towards Maradona - they are all Maradona's crazy believers.

Chen Yingxiong is a person who is soft but not hard. Since the Argentine gang wants to go against him to the end, he will not give in. During this period, Chen Yingxiong rented a house and moved to invite his teammates to visit, but he did not invite Ravizi, Navarro and Gargano.

They were unhappy when Chen Yingxiong saw that Chen Yingxiong was not happy, and there was no need for Chen Yingxiong to touch his hot face but to touch his cold ass.

However, in this locker room "war", Chen Yingxiong was generally at a disadvantage. After all, Ravizi had the support of his Argentine fellow Navarro and teammate Gargano. Moreover, he came to the team a season earlier than Chen Yingxiong, and his connections here were more stable than Chen Yingxiong.

As the team's number one star and main core, Hamsik has a good relationship with Chen Yingxiong. However, in this matter, he can only be neutral. After all, he has a good relationship with Ravizi, and it is not appropriate to help anyone or not.

He could only take the initiative to hug Chen Yingxiong after he scored a goal. No one from the Argentine gang would go up and hug Chen Yingxiong to celebrate after Chen Yingxiong scored a goal.

This kind of conflict in the locker room will naturally affect the team's performance on the court. Although both sides may not be willing to cause such a result in subjective wishes, the objective fact is that if a team is not united enough, it is impossible to talk about combat effectiveness. This has occurred in many teams, and even those wealthy families cannot avoid the vulgarity. In the years when the internal gangs of Real Madrid continued to fight, their achievements plummeted. When Barcelona was infighting, their power was also surrendered. Inter Milan also has factions such as "Argentine Gang", "Brazil Gang", and "Italian Gang". Even clubs like AC Milan that give an image of the outside world have internal conflicts. Isn't Kaka joking about being AC Milan's new football boss?

On November 27, Napoli welcomed their third game in the League Cup group stage. They challenged Greek team Olympiacos away.

Since Napoli had drawn and lost one after another, the qualifying situation was in danger, they had to win away in this game to retain their hope of qualifying in the group stage.

Olympiacos is not a strong team - at least in the eyes of Naples fans, a victory can be expected.

Reya also noticed the impact of contradictions within the team on the performance, so for the sake of safety, he did not take Chen Yingxiong to the away game at all. In his opinion, even if Chen Yingxiong just scored twice in the league, he was an unstable factor in the team and would only intensify the contradictions.

In such an important game, for the sake of safety, let him stay in Naples...

Of course the reason is - "We need to rotate."

In addition to Chen Yingxiong, Rea sent the strongest lineup he could to challenge Olympiacos.

As a result, the game was not what the Naples expected from the first minute.

They fell behind in the first minute.

In the 16th minute, two goals were behind.

In the 23rd minute, he was already behind three goals.

Although the 32nd minute, central defender and captain Paul Cannavaro scored a goal with a corner kick and scored a goal. Ten minutes later, Olympiacos won another goal, 4:1!

The suspense of the game has been completely killed.

After losing this game, Napoli has the last game left. They have only one point and basically bid farewell to the knockout stage game of the League Cup in advance.

And all this has nothing to do with Chen Yingxiong...

When his teammates suffered a crushing defeat in Piraeus, Greece, he was sweating profusely in the dungeon. He was almost level 31 and could immediately gain another talent point.

For this, he was very energetic.
