Chapter 16: A more popular reserve team than the first team (three updates, monthly tickets!)

As the name suggests, the reserve team is a player that cannot be used for the first team for the time being, and a place where players who need to slowly find their state after returning from injury.

Although they are in the reserve team, they are still with the first team during training, but they cannot play in the game and have no status.

Most of the players who go to the reserve team are basically abandoned by the club. In order to prevent such people from failing to play games for a long time and causing their condition and competitive level to decline, they throw them into the reserve team and use the reserve team's game to maintain their state.

It can be said that the reserve team is the garbage can for the first team - the first team doesn't want, but they are older and it is impossible for the youth team to be allocated to the reserve team.

Chen Yingxiong met some old teammates of the first team in the reserve team, such as Salayeta. Due to his strength in the penalty area and his rarely injured physique, the poor Uruguayan shooter has always been unable to get any chance to play.

In addition, he also saw substitute goalkeeper Navarro.

The Argentine goalkeeper who followed Ravizi and Gargano to oppose himself and exclude him is now the only remaining Argentine gang member in the Naples team. His two teammates, Ravizi and Gargano, have both left the team, and he is the only one who looks lonely.

When he first joined Naples, he had no friend on the team, and Ravizzi was closest to him and often invited him to eat and play at home.

He and Ravizi also have the best relationship.

But now that his best friend has left, his status in the locker room has naturally declined. Moreover, as a substitute goalkeeper, he basically has no chance of playing, so it is natural to be sent to the reserve team.

He is already considering following his two friends and seeking a way to transfer and leave Naples.

At this time, he was still a little happy to see Chen Yingxiong also coming to the reserve team - making you arrogant! You are in trouble too!

But then he discovered a fact that frustrated him.

That is, although everyone is in the reserve team, there are differences. Obviously, he cannot be compared with Chen Yingxiong. The reserve team's head coach Portrazi has a better attitude towards Chen Yingxiong, and other teammates also welcomed them. Because fools all know that Chen Yingxiong and the others will definitely return to the first team. At present, it is just a short-term punishment. How can they be compared with the losers like them who can't play in the game at all?

It is still a dragon when the dragon traps the shallows. Even if the chicken can fly up a tree, it cannot become a phoenix.

On July 17, after the physical adjustment training period ended, Naples played a warm-up match with an Italian League C team in the local area. In this game, Chen Yingxiong, Arshavin, Hamsik, Sanchez, Marjo, Casano and San Croche did not appear in the first team's roster.

There weren't even a few of them on the bench.

In this game, Mazari used some youth team players to inspect Naples' youth training level.

So where have these guys gone?

They were at the scene of the Naples Reserve warm-up match...

So a very rare situation occurred - the media attracted far less than the reporters that the warm-up match of the Naples reserve team attracted...

The two games were not played at the same time on the same day, so there would be no point in making a decision for reporters. Even so, the first-team warm-up match was held first, and the reserve team match was more than 50. Except for those more than ten Chinese journalists who only stared at Chen Yingxiong, this number is still very considerable.

Why does this happen?

Because almost all the most popular stars in Naples are in the reserve team...

So the warm-up opponent of the Naples Reserve was completely tragic.

Sangiovannese's goal was blown away by the Napoli reserve in the fifth minute.

The person who scored the goal was...Arshavin!

After receiving the pass from Chen Yingxiong to him, he walked into the penalty area and then scored a low shot.

A huge cheer sounded at the scene.

Not only are the reporters coming more, but even the fans who came to watch the game on site came more than the first team games... The fans used their feet to show what kind of Neapolitan players they prefer.

Although there was a conflict with football hooligans, the popularity of these Naples players was not affected because they beat the football hooligans that everyone hates, and they were still defending themselves...

Three minutes later, the Naples reserve team made a comeback.

Casano dribbled in the middle, showing his exquisite footwork and skills to the fullest, which attracted San Giovanni players to rush up, hoping to break the football under Casano's feet by relying on the power of the number of people. At this moment, no one expected that Casano passed the ball!

He poked the football directly to Chen Yingxiong!

Chen Yingxiong took the ball and turned around, and then shot!

The football flew in from the right side of the goal...

The goal itself was nothing surprising, but the reporters in the stands all stared wide.

What did they see?

They saw that Casano actually passed the football to Chen Yingxiong!!

During the game, Chen Yingxiong and Casano formed a cooperation!

It seems that the news that they are friends is really unfair...

After scoring the goal, Chen Yingxiong turned around and pointed at Casano who passed the ball to him. Casano ran over and jumped high. Chen Yingxiong turned around and let him jump onto him.

Casano rode on Chen Yingxiong's back and celebrated the goal with Chen Yingxiong.

From this point of view, the relationship between the two of them must be closer than that of ordinary teammates...

“This is simply incredible!”

The reporters in the stands were shocked and they were talking.

"Will Chen Yingxiong actually become friends with Casano?"

"The end of the world is coming soon, right?"

"It's nothing strange, right? Judging from the personalities of the two of them... it seems that they are really in line... Both of them are crazy, crazy, and mentally retarded!"

"Sure enough, geniuses are different from ordinary people like us. They have a perverse personality, which is elusive..."

Since it is a reserve team and the number of people is smaller than that of the first team, it is impossible for Portrazi to have a lineup in the first half and another lineup in the second half like Mazzari. Therefore, the seven players sent from the first team almost played the entire game.

They were not replaced one after another until the 78th minute.

This is a scene that is relatively rare in warm-up matches.

In the first team warm-up match, even captain Paul Cannavaro was replaced after only fifty minutes, giving the opportunity to his teammates who were temporarily transferred from the youth team.

But in the reserve team, seven members of the Naples Eat, Drink, Play and Play Group can hone their tacit understanding during the competition.

In fact, this is also Mazari's arrangement.

When he decided to throw these seven people into the reserve team to reflect, he was considering how not to affect the team's preparations for the new season.

His instructions to Portrazi were to try to arrange for seven of them to play at the same time in the warm-up match, and to play as long as possible so that they can have enough time and maintain their state and find a tacit understanding.

Especially the cooperation between Casano and Chen Yingxiong was his focus on.

Therefore, in this warm-up match of the reserve team, head coach Mazari sat in the stands and watched the whole game. He was very satisfied with the performance of the seven people. Casano was like a libero in the frontcourt. He could play in the middle or on the wing. The most important thing was that his feet were very delicate, he could dribble himself and create opportunities, and he also had the ability to pass the deadly first time at the front of the penalty area. This was very important.

Sanchez's breakthrough on the wing was indeed quite sharp. In terms of breakthrough ability, he was no less than Ravizi who had left the team. Although his crossing ability was still lacking, he was obedient and willing to practice! Unlike Ravizi, he was unwilling to be a passer who would not be willing to assist Chen Yingxiong.

It doesn’t matter if you have poor crossing skills now, as long as you are willing to practice. Sanchez is only 20 years old and is far from the time to set his skills.

In the end, with the outstanding performance of these seven players who were demoted from the first team to the reserve team, Napoli Reserve defeated San Giovanni with a huge score of 15:1.

Chen Yingxiong won five yuan alone in the game, showing his outstanding in front of the goal. It seems that no matter whether he is fighting with his teammates or fighting with football hooligans, it has not affected his condition. He is very fierce on the battlefield, and he is as fierce on the court.

Casano also scored two goals and three assists, and the three assists were allocated very evenly, one gave Chen Yingxiong, one gave Al Shavin, and the other was Sanchez.

Sanchez also performed well in the game, scoring one goal and two assists, and his breakthrough on the wing was fully demonstrated. Now it seems that just because of Sanchez's age and his potential, these 20 million were not lost.

As for the performance of the other people, the performance is also remarkable. Hamsik is the team's commander tower in the midfield. Al Shawen has a sharp breakthrough on the wing. Not only that, he can also cut in and shoot, which is quite threatening. As the team's central defender, San Croche is also very stable in defense, and the conceding of the ball has nothing to do with him. As for Marjo, his performance in the position of the full-back is actually better than in the position of the full-back...

Being exiled to the reserve team did not make them sink. On the contrary, the group of people gathered together seemed to have other motivation and performed very hard.

In fact, their motivation is very simple... Go back to the first team!

No one wants to stay in the reserve team for the rest of their lives. As the main players of the first team, they are naturally even more unwilling to hang out with the losers here.

This season, they are going to participate in the Champions League. If they can't return to the first team, nothing will be done.
