Hero of the Penalty Area

Chapter 71 Champions League qualification lock-up (the first guarantee, ask for a monthly pass!)

In the last match against Chievo, many Naples fans were actually very nervous.

Things that fell short of success have happened too many times in the football world, and they are not unheard of.

But 13 minutes into the game, Chen Yingxiong gave them a reassurance.

"Gooooooooooooooooooool——hero!!!"

"His 24th goal this season! It's incredible! Three-quarters of these 24 goals were scored after the second half of the season-a terrifying goal efficiency!"

"A powerful long shot! Chievo's defense was a little distracted, and they paid a painful price for it!"

The battle between Naples and Genoa went into a fierce final round, and the opponents of the two teams were not strong in the final round. Naples' opponent Chievo has succeeded in relegation ahead of schedule, but is too far away from qualifying for the European war. This game can be described as hopeless.

What about Genoa? Their opponents are even more desperate, because Lecce, ranked 19th, has already been relegated early...

※※※

The two teams competed on different fields.

In the fourth minute, Genoa opened the scoring and they broke through Lecce's gate.

There was a huge boo at the Sao Paulo Stadium at that time, which made people think that Chen Yingxiong had the ball again. But in fact it was Hamsik who was in possession of the ball.

The boo told the Napoli players on the field-their opponent Genoa scored!

Naples was stimulated to step up the offensive, and after nine minutes, Chen Yingxiong volleyed vigorously with a kick to take the lead.

At this time, those who were restless before finally gained peace-as long as Naples can win the game, no matter what the result is on Genoa's side, even if Genoa beats Lecce 50:0, they can only play in the league. Cup, the Champions League qualification belongs to Naples!

After Chen Yingxiong scored, more people cheered for him, and the cheers once again overwhelmed the boos of extreme fans.

Obviously Genoa can also know the situation on Naples, so five minutes after Chen Yingxiong scored, Genoa scored again. They lead Lecce 2-0 at their home court, and they seem to be more secure than Naples, which leads Chievo 1-0.

But this time before Naples returned with a goal, Genoa suffered a little interference. Although they had been relegated early, Lecce did not intend to be a complete loser. They were not fighting for survival in this game. They fight for dignity.

In the thirty-first minute, Lecce pulled back a goal, reducing the gap between the two sides to one goal. The atmosphere at Genoa's home court suddenly became a little tense.

Compared with Lecce, Napoli’s opponent Chievo is much more gentle. They have been relegated in advance and don’t need to fight for dignity, because they can continue to stay in Serie A next season. This season they are playing this kind of game. As far as the team is concerned, it is considered to have completed the task, and there is no regret. They are truly desireless.

So even if Naples bombarded their goal indiscriminately, Chievo didn't react.

In the forty-first minute, Arshavin broke into the penalty area and was brought to the ground by Chievo players. The referee decisively awarded a penalty kick. There was a huge cheer on the Sao Paulo stadium.

Penalty!

This is almost a necessary opportunity!

This goal basically means that the suspense of this game ends here, and Naples has entered the UEFA Champions League qualifying game next season!

It was Hamsik who took the penalty kick. He quickly kicked in the penalty created by Arshavin.

"2:0! Naples leads Chievo by two goals at home! Judging from Chievo's own performance, they seem to have no fighting spirit and can't threaten Naples' goal at all..."

After the goal, the Naples players celebrated very long and crazy.

Because everyone knows that they are sure to enter next season's Champions League qualifiers!

The fans in the stands also chanted: "Champions League! Here we are——!!!"

Excited fans lit the signal flare and blue smoke filled the stands. In addition, hundreds of white paper tapes were thrown down from the stands on the stands where extreme fans and **** fans gathered. The stadium, especially near the two goals, was even covered with white paper tape.

This is the unique scenery of the Sao Paulo Stadium. Fireworks are set off at the San Siro Stadium, but here, it is the world of paper tape. It looks quite like a South American stadium, considering that Maradona once left a very deep mark here, so this feature may be that time, the Naples fans learned from the Argentine fans...

"In the first half of this season, no one would have imagined that Naples could qualify for the Champions League next season, even if it was only a qualifying match... They kept declining in the league and were eliminated from the UEFA Cup group stage. , Team infighting, meritorious coach dismissed... But now, their fans and players are celebrating their entry into the Champions League next season! It is incredible!

※※※

Before the end of the first half, Genoa finally widened the score gap to two goals. They originally thought they could continue to put pressure on Naples. After all, Naples was just one goal ahead, which was more dangerous than themselves... How could I think that during the intermission, everyone heard bad news.

Naples scored again!

The score of 2:0 was meant to be a boulder on the hearts of everyone in Genoa, making them breathless-this season is already Genoa’s best season, and no one had thought that they would have a chance to compete in the Champions League Eligibility.

But it fell short! In the final round of the league, they are about to lose this qualification. Who can feel better?

※※※

Unlike Genoa's somewhat depressed locker room, in Naples, the players can't wait to cheer as soon as they enter the locker room. Many people have even begun to celebrate their entry into the Champions League in advance.

"Champions League! Champions League! Oh Lay Oh Lay--" Someone even sang a song composed by himself.

When Mazzari came in, he was sullen and he wanted to remind everyone not to be too happy, but seeing the players so excited, he temporarily changed his mind. He thinks that two goals shouldn't be a big problem, and there is no doubt about the outcome of this game. Everyone worked hard for a season... No, it was half a season. It was really not easy to have such a result. It was the last half, so it would be nice to let them vent their emotions. If he scolded them with a straight face, it might have hurt their morale and poured cold water on them, but it would make them perform poorly in the second half.

So he smiled on his face and congratulated everyone: "This is what you deserve, guys! Let us completely seal the victory in the second half! Let's celebrate again at that time!"

The coach allowed them to celebrate and made the players very happy. They cheered, and Mazzari's position in their minds has been raised.

Seeing the joy of his teammates, Ravitch curled his lips. Naples is only participating in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers. Juventus, which he is going to, is third in the league and can directly participate in the Champions League match!

What's so great about participating in the qualifying competition? If you get eliminated in the qualifying rounds, you can't participate in the Champions League!

In this half of the season, he was completely excluded from the starting lineup by Mazzari. Apart from occasionally playing on the bench, he basically had no chance to play. Arshavin is in good condition, is not injured, and has no physical problems, so he can't get any chances at all.

He was marginalized in the lineup, and he was gradually marginalized in the locker room. Nowadays, Chen Yingxiong is the celebrity in the dressing room. He is enthusiastic, cheerful, lively, and likable. It's completely different from Ravitch, who is a bit arrogant.

For the loser, Chen Yingxiong did not show any sympathy. In this half of the season, he almost forgot about Ravitch.

Now he has to celebrate with his teammates.

In the second half of the game, the result was lost.

There is still a suspense now.

Chen Yingxiong scored a goal. He has scored twenty-four goals this season, surpassing the forward Diwayo who played in Bologna and rising to the second highest scorer list. Can he get the league's top scorer? ?

But in the first half, Ibrahimovic also scored, and now his number of goals is 26 instead of 25. The gap between him and Chen Yingxiong is still two goals.

But for Ibrahimović, Chen Yingxiong still brought him tremendous pressure.

On the Inter Milan side, although they have won the league championship, there are still people who are concerned about the Naples game, because the competition between Chen Yingxiong and Ibrahimovic continues. Even on the Inter Milan coaching bench, a coach wore headphones and cared about whether Chen Yingxiong had scored.

The first thing Ibrahimović did during the intermission was to find the staff, ask about the news of Naples, and care about whether Chen Yingxiong scored a goal. Mourinho is very disdainful of this man on the surface, Ibrahimovic is still very concerned. After all, the number of goals scored by the two people is only one or two away...

He had never imagined that a forward who only scored six goals in the first half of the season would catch up to second place in the scorer list and be so close to him. He has even been worried that he might lose his top scorer. So in this final round of the league, even though Inter Milan won the league title early, he is still full of fighting spirit. He wants to score, he wants to score more goals to ensure that he can get the league's top scorer.

Looking back on Mourinho's evaluation of Chen Yingxiong under such circumstances, it is really different...
