Volume 1: When Heroes Come and Go, People Pay Attention. Chapter 206: What Does It Mean to Be Ahead by Three Goals? ! (First One, Please Vote for Me!)

Chapter 206 What does it mean to be three goals ahead? ! (First one, please vote for me!)

Chen Yingxiong was very excited to tell the three smart players Juninho, Inzaghi and Maldini about his goal in the game against Inter Milan.

"I just wanted the football to go around the crowd in the penalty area and fly into the goal... This should be a fallen ball, right?"

Juninho nodded: "Judging from your description, yes. There is no doubt that this is a fallen ball. Can you kick such a ball again?"

Chen Yingxiong enthusiastically ran to the training field to try, but no matter how he recalled the feeling, the football he played was not up to standard. It's not easy for a ball to fall, right after it flew over the crossbar, and Juninho called this a "normal parabola", which made Chen Yingxiong depressed to death.

"The conclusion is that you got it by luck, so it doesn't count. You still have to practice the most basic ones." Juninho said with a straight face.

Chen Yingxiong rolled his eyes. He thought again about the goal against Lazio. Forget it, just practice, and at least I scored a goal like that...

However, he sighed unwillingly: "It would be great if every long-range shot was a falling leaf!"

He didn't expect to get any answer, he just expressed his emotions here.

"Every long-range shot is a falling leaf. This is impossible, but most long-range shots are falling leaves, which is still possible..." Juninho suddenly replied, which shocked Chen Yingxiong.

He turned to look at the other person in confusion.

"Do you know Rivaldo, hero?" Juninho asked.

"Of course I know about the famous Brazilian star in the past. In the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan, he formed a powerful 3r combination with Ronaldo and Ronaldinho. The Brazilian team relied on this to win the World Cup. How could I not know?"

Juninho nodded after listening to Chen Yingxiong's answer: "It's easier if you know. He is very good at scoring goals with long shots outside the penalty area. The football does not fly high, and most of them are half-high balls. This kind of ball is reasonable. It is said that the goalkeeper is the best to attack. But in fact that is not the case. Do you know why?"

"I don't know." Chen Yingxiong shook his head and shrugged.

"His long shots have a characteristic - most of them will fall sharply before the goalkeeper catches the ball, hit the ground and then bounce up, forming a rebound ball that catches the goalkeeper off guard. For goalkeepers, what they hate most is This kind of rebounding ball suddenly dropped and hit the ground in front of me."

"This..." Chen Yingxiong thought of something.

"By the way, this is actually a way of applying the leaf ball in long-range shots. Of course, it is impossible to achieve a 100% success rate, but Rivaldo has greatly improved the success rate, so it has become one of his Unique weapon."

Hearing this, Chen Yingxiong's eyes lit up and he saw hope!

Juninho immediately poured cold water on him: "It's very difficult for you to reach that point now. You can't even hit the ball accurately when the football is stationary, let alone when the football is moving. situation. Let’s practice slowly.”

But this basin of cold water had no effect on Chen Yingxiong. He stared at Juninho, his eyes radiating hot light.

"Is it possible to master Rivaldo's unique skills if you keep practicing hard?" he asked eagerly.

"Uh..." Juninho was frightened by Chen Yingxiong's sudden enthusiasm: "Theoretically, it's possible... but I don't know it myself, so you can't learn it from you and me... …”

Chen Yingxiong doesn't care, as long as he can succeed if he keeps going down this road, that's enough. Then just work hard on your own.

As for the selection of teachers, this is not a problem. Isn’t it said that this is Rivaldo’s unique skill? Then I will worship him as my teacher!

"Okay! Start practicing!" Chen Yingxiong shouted with high spirits and ran onto the training ground that was already filled with footballs.

Juninho was a little strange and asked his other teammates: "What's wrong with him? What is this?" Although Chen Yingxiong insisted on practicing before, the boring training content still made him complain a little. How could he be so proactive like today? So Juninho doesn't understand.

Inzaghi and Maldini both laughed: "He has found a new goal worthy of hard work and challenge."

Juninho has just arrived, without Inzaghi and Maldini. He has been in contact with Chen Yingxiong for a long time, and his understanding of his student is not deep enough.

Just two days after the Champions League match against Inter Milan, it was the thirty-second round of Serie A.

In order to field the strongest lineup at the Meazza Stadium, Mazzarri sent almost the entire second-tier team to an away game against league rival Bologna.

Since he didn't get the ideal result in the first round, he didn't care about the results in the league at this time. Even if AC Milan really overtook him, he would accept it. The Champions League is the biggest now!

At this time, he had to be thankful that he wisely decided to buy Cavani during the winter break...

In the away game against Bologna, Naples relied on Cavani's opening goal and Dossena's penalty kick, and finally took away three points from the away game with a score of 2:0.

This was a completely unplanned three-pointer. This three-pointer made Mazzarri extremely happy. At the same time, Cavani, who opened the door to victory for the team, became more and more important in Mazzarri's heart. With Cavani's outstanding performance, Mazzarri feels that even if Chen Yingxiong leaves after the end of this season, there will be nothing to miss.

With such an outstanding center, Naples will not fall into the quagmire of collapse instantly without Chen Yingxiong.

He has nothing to worry about. The only thing left for him this season is very simple, which is to lead the team to better results and write a mark on his coaching resume.

On April 12, the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals officially began. Barcelona travel to Shakhtar Donetsk while Manchester United face Chelsea at home. The two teams that advance to the semifinals will be decided first.

As a result, Barcelona defeated Shakhtar Donetsk 1:0 in an away game and successfully advanced to the semi-finals. They will face the winner of Real Madrid and Tottenham in the semi-finals.

Manchester United defeated Chelsea 2:1 at home and advanced to the semi-finals with a total score of 3:1. Their opponent will be the winner between Inter Milan and Naples.

It is worth mentioning that in the match between Barcelona and Shakhtar Donetsk, Messi scored the only goal in the game.

He increased his number of goals in the Champions League this season to nine, re-opening the gap between him and Chen Yingxiong. The two men are now three goals apart.

Messi reached the semi-finals of the Champions League last season, missing the final by one game and scoring only eight goals. This season, with three games left in the Champions League, he has already scored nine goals. He is in excellent form this season and if this momentum continues, he will definitely score more goals.

The single-season scoring record in the history of the Champions League was set by AC Milan striker Altafini in the 1962-1963 season, with fourteen goals. This record has never been broken.

The single-season scoring record after the Champions League was restructured was set by Ruud van Nistelrooy in the 2002-2003 season. Forty years later, the gap has only been narrowed to two goals, which is already remarkable.

It is not easy for Messi to surpass Altafini, but it is still possible to catch up with Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Until now, not many people think that Chen Yingxiong can defend the top scorer title. After all, Messi is too strong and in great condition. But now there is another voice, which is to acknowledge Chen Yingxiong's outstanding form this season, and assuming that if he participates in six group matches, even if he scores six goals in six group matches last season, he will It's now twelve goals, tying Ruud van Nistelrooy's record.

As long as he scores three more goals, he can break Altafini's scoring record.

It can be said to be quite a remarkable achievement.

Therefore, fortunately, Chen Yingxiong was suspended for eight games by UEFA and missed six group matches. Otherwise, he doesn't know how many goals he would have scored in this Champions League. Messi is no match for him.

Of course, the Catalan media are very disdainful of this argument. They admit that Chen Yingxiong has scored six goals now, which is great, but it is also because he missed six group matches. If he can participate in the six group stage games normally, maybe he can score in the group stage, but it is absolutely impossible to have such a crazy state.

If you ask a hungry person to compete with a satiated person, the hungry person will obviously have the upper hand...

"Inter Milan's goal? Of course it is to advance to the semi-finals. I believe our players have the ability to do it." At the pre-match press conference, Inter Milan's head coach Leonardo seemed very ambitious.

The score in the first round and the team's performance gave him full confidence in the second round.

In addition, it is a home game. Since Naples is invincible at the Sao Paulo Stadium, can Inter Milan still be at the mercy of others at Meazza?

"Napoli is a very strong opponent and I respect them. We will deal with it carefully. But to be honest, if we were eliminated at home, the fans would not be able to imagine it, right? So we have such confidence."

An hour later, Napoli coach Mazzarri appeared in front of the same reporters, sitting where Leonardo once sat.

"I don't think the score in the first round is unfavorable to us. You must know that we are leading the total score so far, not them. Why should the leading side be more pessimistic?" Mazzarri also had a tough mouth.

"Meazza is different. Inter Milan will certainly have an advantage when playing at home. But it's not like we haven't defeated them in this stadium. We are very familiar with them, and we can't be more familiar with them. When we met in the league, no one thought it was a big deal, right? Yeah, it was just a normal game."

He was then asked about the competition between Messi and Chen Yingxiong.

"Messi scored again? This is good. He is a very good player. He is the number one player in world football today. It is normal for him to perform like this. But our hero is also very good, he should also Gain a status commensurate with his performance. In my opinion, he is the most powerful center in world football today. I still say the same thing, in terms of scoring ability alone, Messi is not as good as a hero."

A reporter from Argentina was not convinced and shouted below: "Messi, who is not as good as a hero, is now three goals ahead!"

Mazzarri glanced at the unconvinced Argentine reporter and said very calmly: "Three games ago, how many goals was Messi ahead of the hero? Six."

We can catch up with six goals, why are we afraid of your mere three-goal gap?
