Manchester United is no stranger to Naples because they have already met twice in the group stage.

When they played against each other in the group stage, they never expected to have a chance to meet again in the semifinals.

But fortunately, it also saves a lot of collecting intelligence and getting acquainted with the opponent.

In general, Manchester United is very familiar with Naples. They have analyzed Naples when they played against them in the group stage. The only person who did not analyze is the suspended Chen Yingxiong.

And Chen Yingxiong doesn't need to know much anymore. Now if there are people in Europe who don't know enough about Chen Yingxiong, then he must have nothing to do with football.

Anyone who is engaged in the football industry or who likes football is watching Chen Yingxiong closely.

In fact, since some time ago, there have been more and more inquiries about Chen Yingxiong.

If it hadn't been for Bigan to know the truth of the matter from De Laurentiis in advance, I'm afraid he would have been dazzled.

Because those teams asking for prices include many world-renowned giants. In Italy, Inter Milan has the strongest interest. In Spain, there have always been rumors that Mourinho appreciates Chen Yingxiong, and he has repeatedly stated that Real Madrid needs a center forward who has a header and can hold the ball in the penalty area. This is not just trying to buy from Real Madrid's top management. Chen Yingxiong?

The news from the Premier League is that Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea, including Manchester City, are interested in Chen Yingxiong.

As for the interest of those mid-range teams, there is more, too much.

Bigan's answer to those clubs who come to ask for prices is always-"Heroes are not for sale in Naples!"

Confidently and confidently.

In fact, he knew that the hero already belonged to Liverpool...

Ferguson has done in-depth research on Chen Yingxiong, and he also knows that this is a player that not only conforms to the characteristics of modern football, but also has the ability of a classical center. It is natural for such a player to score so many goals.

The characteristics of modern football have high requirements for running positions. In addition to scoring goals, the center also needs to shoulder other tasks. These things, Chen Yingxiong can do. However, there is no shortage of centers that meet the requirements of modern football, but there are fewer and fewer people with the characteristics of classic centers...

The center forward of modern football is represented by Ibrahimovic. He is a tall man, but he doesn’t like to use headers very much, or he is not good at headers at all. Their skills at the feet are quite good and they are not considered physically. Strong, or physically strong but do not like to use the body, and prefer to use technology to solve problems. Such centers don't like to always stay in the penalty area, stay in front of the goal, and move very flexibly. They can be seen active in the center and the wing.

However, the attacking ability of this type of center is generally poor.

On the other hand, Chen Yingxiong is completely different. He can move flexibly and has technical support under his feet. At the same time, the most important thing is that he has a strong body, excellent headers, and likes to move in front of the goal. The defender works hard for his body and strength, even if there are more defensive players on the other side, he will move forward courageously.

There are fewer and fewer such centers in modern football. Either he has excellent skills at his feet, but he is not good at using his body, and always suffers from physical confrontation in the penalty area; or he has a strong body and good heading ability, but his feet are unsightly.

If he hadn't made up his mind to right Rooney, Ferguson might really want to run to compete with other teams for heroes.

After learning about Chen Yingxiong, how do you deal with him?

Ferguson carefully studied Chen Yingxiong's goal and found that headers were still the majority, that is to say, Napoli's tactics were still based on crosses from the side.

So if you want to freeze Hero Chen, you have to start with the whole of Naples.

To cut his connection with the midfielder, it is best to isolate him.

But this kind of strategy, any opponent wants, because more than one team has used this tactic to beat Chen Hero, so Naples must have a corresponding method. Judging from the video of the game, Napoli’s frontcourt offensive combination moves very flexibly, apparently to prevent the opponent from cutting off contact with each other.

For example, Chen Yingxiong's hat-trick against Inter Milan, the first goal was because Raul suddenly shifted from the left to the right side, and Arshavin made two assists. For the second goal, Chen Yingxiong took the initiative to move from the center to the back point, which bypassed Inter Milan's defense and received a pass from his teammate. These are the results of running positions.

Ferguson thinks it might not be easy to simply cut off the connection between them. Most of the players in the Naples lineup have played together for three seasons, and they are very familiar with each other.

He felt that he would be better off not taking the usual path.

Many teams were intimidated when they arrived at the home court of Naples. They were all frightened by the names of "Hell's Home" and "Devil's Home" at the São Paulo Stadium. There were also referees who said that when Naples played in this stadium, all were superhuman .

So every team comes here to play, the first consideration is to defend, not to lose the ball. In other words, it means to lose fewer goals and lose less when you lose.

Even the defending champions like Inter Milan have to be suppressed by the atmosphere of the Sao Paulo Stadium. They completely ignored their face and drew the dissatisfaction of Inter Milan's own fans. As a result, they thought they had a suitable result.

I didn't expect to return to the home court, but was swept by Naples 5:2. In the away game, I didn’t even lose my face. I returned to the home game and waited for a 2:5. The defending champion was out in this way. This is really ironic...

Ferguson definitely took a different approach.

This is what he has experienced, and he has experienced all kinds of scenes.

He knows that Mazzari will definitely think that Manchester United will also choose a defensive approach in the away game, and the opponent will stick to it. What should Naples do? Of course it is crazy attack. Naples is not afraid of defending, and defending can only make them more presumptuous, because the opponent's offensive is almost zero, which means that when Naples is attacking, they don't need to be afraid of behind, just press it with all their strength.

And Ferguson needs Naples power to overwhelm, so that the large amount of space behind them can be used...

The Sao Paulo Stadium was full before the game started. The Naples fans paid great attention to this game.

Champions League semi-finals! A height that has never been reached in the history of Naples!

Even Maradona has not been able to lead the team to do so much. Now the media has stopped talking about the "post-Maradona era", but has changed the name to "beyond the Maradona era".

Don’t you understand what it means?

But no one is angry at the naked confession of the media. Many fans in Naples carefully think about it-what exactly did the Maradona era bring to them? Two Serie A champions and one UEFA Cup champion. The results were remarkable at the time. Looking back, I feel a bit... but it feels so.

Now the UEFA Cup has been devalued, and the previous league championships are not as difficult to win as they are now-today's league championships are basically monopolized by the powerful, and there are countless shady scenes. You, a southern team with no power and background, dare Want to win the championship? Go dreaming!

But now, not only in the league, Naples maintains the lead and is likely to win the league championship trophy. More importantly, the Champions League! This champion, which symbolizes the highest honor in European football, has never been in the hands of Naples.

Today, Naples has hope of winning the Champions League.

Just for this, many fans feel that Naples today is beyond that, at least it is on par with the Maradona era...

So in every home game of the Champions League, the Sao Paulo Stadium is full of seats. As the team goes further, the enthusiasm of the fans is also higher.

This team has carried all their expectations and dreams.

There are even media and cultural people who are doing everything possible to find a variety of performance and cultural significance for this team's current performance. Their leaps and bounds in the Champions League, how they overpowered the North in the league, have been crowned with the name of "defying power and challenging authority", saying that this is the cry of the little people, the struggling blow of the grassroots, this is southern Italy What is the moving version of "Young David Challenges Giant Goliath" in the struggle against the North...

In short, all kinds of hats that make the Naples players feel confused have been put on their heads.

In fact, Italy today is no longer the Italy of Maradona. Although there are still differences between the south and the north, they are not so serious anymore. They have never thought about these inexplicable humanistic care. They just want to win championships for themselves, win championships for the team, nothing more.

But it has to be said that the so-called "humanistic care" guessed by cultural people that is not the person's own wishes is still quite marketable. At least the Naples fans are proud of it.

The game hasn't started yet, and the Sao Paulo Stadium is full. The media gathered here from all over the world are very satisfied with the atmosphere of this home arena.

"It seems that Manchester United will face a tough fight in this stadium."

"If Naples wants to advance to the final, they have to beat Manchester United at home. This is very important...Of course, a 2:1 score is definitely not good. I don't think Manchester United will commit Inter Milan's fault..."

"What I am more looking forward to is what kind of performance Chen Yingxiong can play in this game. In fact, as long as he can score, Naples will basically be able to win..."

"The game between Real Madrid and Barcelona is tomorrow. I don't know what kind of pressure the heroes of this game can put on Messi..."

The reporters who entered the media booth talked a lot, and they all like to see the great competition between Messi and Chen Yingxiong. In fact, the Champions League has gone on for fifty-six years, and there are so many gimmicks, especially after Platini came to power, it is nothing more than a duel between teams with grievances. At first, everyone thought it was quite interesting-strong dialogue, fateful duel!

Later, when there were more such competitions, everyone gradually became a little tired of aesthetics.

It wasn't until this season that the shooter battle between Chen Yingxiong and Messi regained everyone's interest.

In European football, especially the Champions League, there is rarely such a naked competition.

This in itself is very exciting, not to mention the process is so exciting. No one is optimistic about Chen Yingxiong, who has tied the world's top football player, Messi, after missing six group matches...

For a while, the onlookers were full of enthusiasm.

This has become the biggest gimmick of the Champions League this season.
