Hero of the Penalty Area

Chapter 95 The Crow's Mouth (The second one, ask for a monthly pass!)

The guest in charge of the draw unfolded the note, showed it to the camera, and read out Real Madrid's opponent at the same time.

"Naples."

Cassano, Hamsik, and Paul Cannavaro who saw this scene in front of the TV set their bodies back at the same time, their faces full of shock and depression.

"Oh no!"

"Damn it!"

"how can that be?"

The three people exclaimed and wailed at the same time.

This is the worst outcome.

Mazzari's clenched fist slowly loosened at the scene. He tilted his head and looked directly at Platini on the podium.

Suddenly, as if he understood everything all at once, he smiled.

At the same time, the camera happened to give him a close-up shot.

"Uh... Mazzari smiled, what kind of smile is this? A wry smile?" the commentator who broadcasted the draw was suspicious.

At the same time, Chen Yingxiong, who was watching the lottery in the studio, also laughed.

"Haha!" He also laughed out loud, in sharp contrast with the frustrated teammates around him. "I got it!"

He was referring to the sentence "Even if you run into Real Madrid, you still have to win".

"You crow's mouth!" Hamsik said badly.

Cassano glared at the heartless friend.

Seeing the disappointed expressions of his teammates, Chen Yingxiong comforted them: "What is there to worry about? Real Madrid haven't made the quarterfinals for many years? I tell you that they only need to play the eighth-finals. There are psychological barriers, I'm afraid they will [BEEP——]!"

Chen Yingxiong’s swear words were quickly silenced, even in live broadcasts, which can be done with powerful technical means.

But the captain Paul Cannavaro didn’t know. He reminded Chen Yingxiong: “Hero, don’t speak bad words, be careful to teach children badly.” Football players are children’s idols, so they must pay special attention to their words and deeds, of course. In most cases, they would not notice...

"Anyway, there is nothing to be afraid of. What is Real Madrid? Even Barcelona I am not afraid!"

Hamsik really wanted to cover Chen Yingxiong's mouth. He just said that he met Real Madrid, but he really ran into Real Madrid. He now says "even if you run into Barcelona", what if you really run into Barcelona?

Platini did not show any change in expression from start to finish. He did not smile when Lyon drew CSKA Moscow, nor did he laugh when Naples drew Real Madrid.

It looks normal.

But many Italian reporters thought of him for the first time after Naples and Real Madrid were drawn together.

Naples almost made it impossible for the Lyon group to get out of the line, and also grabbed the first place in Lyon's group, and hit Platini on the spot. How could Platini swallow this breath?

So, look, at the draw ceremony, Platini finally completed his revenge against Naples.

Aren't you very awesome in Naples? I arranged you and Real Madrid together!

"This is really going to drive Naples to death..." a reporter murmured while watching the lottery process on the big screen outside the venue.

The reporters in Naples were angry at the result of the draw, and they were even ready to criticize UEFA's black-box operation in the newspaper the next day. It is simply too easy to find specific examples to prove their anger. UEFA has too many to think that setting precedents can be used as an example.

All of a sudden, there was a sound of discussion among the reporters gathered together.

After the draw results came out, the head coaches were immediately surrounded by reporters, wanting to hear their comments on the results of their draws.

Barcelona’s sports director Begiristan talked eloquently in front of the camera: “We can’t complain because we got a good lot. But we can’t be proud of our opponents. In the Champions League, no opponents are easy to deal with... "

But everyone knows that this is just a scene. In fact, Begiristan and other Barcelona supporters are afraid that their stomachs will hurt.

The media were not surprised that Barcelona won a good lottery. After all, as the defending champion, Barcelona is the most admirable team playing today. For UEFA’s UEFA Champions League ratings and advertising revenue, they must ensure that the defending champion can go further.

It's just poor Stuttgart... Maybe the fact that they won the top 16 tickets in the last round of the group stage indicates that they shouldn't be in this muddy water at all?

Mourinho was also surrounded by reporters, wanting to hear how he feels about returning to Stamford Bridge. It's a pity that they failed because Mourinho, who was engaged in a "war" with the media, avoided interviews. No matter what the reporters asked him, he just walked forward with his head buried in his head and he was very cool.

It was Moratti who talked about this topic in an interview with reporters: "If we distinguish between each opponent high and low, then it is an insult to them. Chelsea is the same as other opponents, there is no difference. But I admit, encounter Chelsea It is a challenge for Inter Milan. I am looking forward to such a big scene. Our head coach Mourinho was originally the head coach of Chelsea. He led the team back to Stamford Bridge. I am looking forward to that. Time is coming. And I also hope that the boys can face the strong players bravely and maintain their own standards..."

The CEO of Chelsea also talked about this result. He said that the battle with Inter Milan will be very difficult. Of course, he also welcomes Mourinho's arrival. He thinks Mourinho will definitely receive it at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea fans applauded warmly.

The match between Manchester United and AC Milan is also the focus of everyone's attention, which is the result of the "guess" by the media before the game. Interviewees on both sides also appeared to be fully prepared.

Ferguson looked forward to the coming of the game, but for Beckham, the topical figure, he appeared very cold, and did not go to talk about Beckham's return to Old Trafford such a gimmick topic. It is the Manchester United press liaison officer who said in an interview that Beckham will definitely receive an unparalleled warm welcome.

Gantini, manager of ac Milan, thinks it is a blessing to avoid Chelsea led by Ancelotti. "Manchester United? Oh, this is a huge challenge. We hope to break all the spells and get a chance to advance."

As the head coach of Naples, the biggest dark horse in the current Champions League so far, Mazzari is surrounded by many reporters. Everyone wants to hear how he feels about being drawn with Real Madrid.

Coincidentally, Real Madrid’s coach Pellegrini was interviewed by a group of Spanish reporters not far from him. Those who are close to each other can even hear each other’s voice, but it’s a pity that one is in Italian. One is in Spanish, and neither of them understands each other.

"I should have thought of it long ago. When we squeezed out Lyon and became the first in the group, I should have thought that the eighth-finals were not easy. We have a big chance of meeting a strong team. Don't ask me why I know , I just know." Mazzari expressed his dissatisfaction with Platini very cryptically. "But it's nothing. Napoli is a great team. We have a style that is not afraid of power. We will do our best to face Real Madrid. Real Madrid has many world-class stars and our players are not bad."

As the head coach of Naples, he still performed quite unassumingly.

Several Neapolitan players who watched their coach’s interview through the big screen in the studio also gave thumbs up for the self-confident attitude of their coach.

"He was right. We are not afraid of Real Madrid!" Chen Yingxiong said to the host.

"Since the opponent has been determined, I think it is useless to complain and upset now, we will go all out to prepare for the game against Real Madrid." Team captain Paul Cannavaro also expressed support for the coach.

The host smiled: "You can say that. I think all the fans in Naples can take a breath. I'm glad you didn't lose your courage."

The newly appointed female vase certainly will not let go of any opportunity to express herself: "Come on, Napoli! Come on, hero!"

Seeing Chen Yingxiong's confident performance just now, she has a more favorable impression of the top scorer in Naples. Even patronizing to cheer for Chen Yingxiong, forgot the other three Naples players.

It is a pity that the actor who made her eyes twinkled did not give her encouragement with a charming smile, he simply ignored this beauty...

Those who get a good lottery try to suppress their inner joy and behave modestly and cautiously, while those who get a bad lottery behave differently. Some are straightforward and frustrated, such as Stuttgart, while others say something cruel and say "We "I will not admit defeat" to boost morale.

In the eyes of many people, Naples coach Mazzari belongs to the latter...

At the very least, it looks like this in the Spanish media.

The next day, the Spanish newspapers Marca and Aspen both reported and analyzed the results of the draw, and published the original text of Pellegrini's interview.

In the interview, Pellegrini talked about Naples. He first admitted that he was not very familiar with Naples. At the same time, he also said that Real Madrid is a great team and a team with a fine tradition in the Champions League, so no matter what Whoever is the opponent will go all out. His most recent goal is to lead Real Madrid to break the spell of being unable to reach the quarter-finals in the Champions League.

The Real Madrid coach mentioned Naples out of courtesy at the beginning, and since then, when talking about entering the quarter-finals, he didn't put Naples in his eyes.

But it's normal. What kind of team is Real Madrid? The team with the best results in the history of the Champions League, even if the past few years have been unfavorable, the lean camel is bigger than the horse, and it is more than enough to compare with Naples.

And the superstars gathered in the team, Pellegrini felt that instead of bothering to study the opponent, it is better to bother to figure out how to match the big superstars. It's not good to say, but to be honest, any flashes of these superstars are enough to overcome opponents like Naples.

Everyone will admit this-the key problem for Real Madrid to break the "Dream Eight" spell is not who their opponents are at all, but they themselves.

So he really didn't think Naples was a threat.

He felt that looking at the entire Europe, Real Madrid has only one opponent, and that is...Barcelona.
