Mazzari thinks this way now. Although some fans chanted the slogan "We want the league championship" after the result of the draw, he knew very well that it could not represent the vast majority of Naples fans. More fans still want to watch it. To the team's outstanding performance in the Champions League.

This is also supported by the club’s chairman de Laurentiis. At the Christmas dinner last year, de Laurentiis gave a very expensive watch to the head coach Mazzari, as a tradition for the club to celebrate the New Year, but this is the most expensive gift given by the club chairman, even if it is for the right Chen Yingxiong, who is called a "godson" by the media, is not so generous.

From this point, it can also be seen that Mazzari has used his actual coaching performance to conquer the critical and demanding club chairman.

At that Christmas dinner, most of the time de Laurentiis sat next to Mazzari, and the two discussed the future of the team together, head to head. They talked a lot, including the team's plans for next year.

Mazzari told the club chairman that although the team had drawn Real Madrid as their opponent in the quarter-finals, he still wanted to fight hard, so in the first half of the year, he would focus on the Champions League.

"...The factor that determines how much energy we put into the Champions League is how far we can go in the Champions League..." This sentence is what he said to De Laurentiz at the beginning.

The club chairman expressed satisfaction with his plan and told him that if he wants to strengthen the team during the winter break, he can come to him and draw a list, as long as the name on it is not too outrageous, he can do it. Bring it to him.

He has given the list to the boss, and it depends on how many of the bosses can cash in...

The plan is to focus on the Champions League, so the domestic league has become a training venue for the Champions League, not to mention the Coppa Italia...

Therefore, although the Coppa Italia four days later is a battle between Naples and Juventus, Mazzari must resolutely give up.

For many Naples fans, this may be a game that can't be lost anyway, but Mazzari thinks it's no big deal. No matter how big the hatred is, it must be divided into occasions.

So on January 14th, in the fifth round of the Coppa Italia, Naples challenged Juventus away. Mazzari kept almost all the main players at home and only took a group of substitute players and second-tier players to Turin. The final result can be imagined. They swallowed three eggs in the away game. They lost to Juventus 0:3 and were also eliminated.

But this time no one criticized him. Except for a small number of Naples fans who were dissatisfied, most people did not take this game to heart.

Because, everyone knows, in order to prepare for the quarter-finals with Real Madrid, Mazzari has been preparing for the game from this time.

Although they lost the Coppa Italia with Juventus, the Naples fans still ushered in a good news-the team has a new addition to join!

The first name written by Mazzari on the list-Morgan_de_sanctis (morgan_de_sanctis) officially transferred to the team.

He was transferred from Sevilla and it was very cheap, costing the club 1.7 million euros.

De Sanctis has been famous for a long time. He also joined Juventus in the early years, but he had very few performance opportunities in Turin. He played only three games in two seasons. His career really began to shine after the transfer to "Wuji" Udinese, where he gradually grew into the team's main goalkeeper, and even was called into the Italian national team.

In his few seasons in Udinese, he became the best goalkeeper in Italy besides Buffon.

But Udinese is only a mid-range team, so in 2007 he turned to Sevilla, a strong team in La Liga. Those two years were the most glorious time in Seville.

After going to Seville, he played only eight games, but was abandoned by Seville, and was loaned to the Turkish team Galatasaray for the second season.

Although he won 26 appearances in Galatasaray, Galatasaray also intends to buy him, but he has no intention of continuing to play in Turkey. He wants to return to Italy to play. The 2010 South Africa World Cup is imminent. , He hopes to use his performance to impress Lippi, the national team coach, to catch the last train of the World Cup again.

And Italian football has a habit, that is, they only care about the players who play in the domestic league, because it is more convenient to examine...

In the 09-10 season, he returned to Seville, still unable to get a chance to play.

Sevilla certainly wants to let him go, but only if it can sell for a good price.

For this reason, they did not even register De Sanctis in the Champions League, just because of this reason, he could not transfer smoothly.

However, the teams that were previously interested in De Sanctis finally gave up the acquisition because the price did not agree.

It wasn't until the end of 2009, when the Naples club intervened, that things took a turn for the better. In addition, the De Sanctis players themselves were very resolute, and Sevilla must be sold at a lower price.

After some wrangling negotiations, Naples finally won the former No. 2 Italian national gate.

His arrival can help Naples stabilize its defense.

In the first half of the season, Napoli's defense was very unstable and often had problems. There were almost no games without losing the ball.

This is because Naples still needs a process of adapting to the four-backs. When La Nokia is a newcomer, it also needs to find a sense.

On the other hand, nature has something to do with the low level of the goalkeeper.

Now the main goalkeeper of Naples is Jezo. He came to the team after the bankruptcy of Naples. He is an old courtier, but his level is really limited. Had it not been for Naples to never find a suitable goalkeeper, he would have been on the bench a long time ago.

If Naples wants to perform well in the Champions League, the goalkeeper's position can't help but improve.

The arrival of De Sanctis allowed Naples to make up for this last obvious shortcoming.

So Mazzari is very happy that the club can bring De Sanctis to the club: "Yes, I like Mogan very much. He is an excellent goalkeeper, and his arrival can help us lose a lot of goals. I am not Just kidding. If the team wants to go further, it needs an experienced and skilled goalkeeper like Mogan." He said in an interview.

There is still one month left before the Champions League begins, and it is just this one month to run in a tacit understanding between goalkeeper De Sanctis and the defense.

A good goalkeeper is not just as simple as being able to save a lot of shots, but also has a very important quality that cannot be forgotten, that is...to command the defense. The goalkeeper who can command the back line will be much easier, because many offensive opportunities are all resolved by the outstanding performance of the back line, and there is no threat to the goalkeeper at all.

But if you are not familiar with your own guards at all, you will naturally be unable to command the defense.

De Sanctis is the only transfer transaction in Naples during the winter break. For other players, it is difficult to bring the team at this time, or there is no suitable candidate in the transfer market. So when Mazzari thought about it, just let it go. Anyway, the team’s level of understanding is good, and it’s not impossible to rely on a group of players to play the world. Who to buy will wait until summer.

For now, just be careful not to hurt the main players.

Chen Yingxiong has been in a good mood recently, as can be seen from the smile on his face all day long. There are many reasons why he is in a good mood, first of all it is related to the beautiful women around him.

During the two days when Cabrera was not around, he was extremely unaccustomed, so he reflected on the past. He found that he was a little indifferent to Christine Cabrera. Although the opponent was only his own bodyguard in name, he actually did a lot of non-bodyguard work. And what about yourself? There is very little communication with her at ordinary times.

After the holiday casino incident, he discovered that the all-around bodyguard, Christine Cabrera, who usually seemed very powerful and capable, was just an ordinary woman, and she also had troubles that she could not solve.

He thinks maybe he should care more about the people around him?

So nowadays, many times now, instead of spending all his time in the dungeons and nightclubs, he spends some time with Cabrera. Of course, in Cabrera’s view, it is actually Chen Yingxiong who asked him to do something with him ...Something she finds very boring.

The second is related to the arrival of De Sanctis.

The team's new reinforcements have strengthened the team's strength. Of course this is a good thing. Because in a month, the team is going to challenge Real Madrid. As an ambitious player, I certainly hope that the club is ambitious. At this time, a club that strengthens its strength rather than a club that sells off its heroes is ambitious.

There was nothing wrong with his original choice, which made Chen Yingxiong very happy.

Third, it is related to awards.

Last December was the "Awarding Ceremony" of world football. For a whole month, the most eye-catching news was the selection of various awards. But in fact, those are selected worldwide, and in Italy, the grand prize of Italian football is held in January.

That is in the annual selection of the Italian Football Association known as the "Serie A Oscar".

This selection event is to select the best in Italian football in the past year: the best player, the best foreign aid, the best coach, the best defender, the best goal, the most loved player...

Because it is voted by Serie A players, this award has a high gold content-the vast majority of votes obtained for the best come from their opponents. To be recognized by opponents, this is the highest evaluation.

And what about Chen Yingxiong?

It's on the shortlist for the best foreign aid.

In addition, the best players in Serie A are produced in pk among the best local players and the best foreign players.

Therefore, he still hopes to be the best player of last year.
