Chapter 59 High-Level Earthquake (Second Guarantee)

April 18th is the first match day of the 32nd round of the Serie A league. On this day, two league matches will be played first. The first match will be Genoa vs. Lazio, followed by Juventus. Tus and Inter Milan's "Italian National Derby".

Everyone's eyes are on this national derby, and the match between Juventus and Inter Milan is never lacking in topics.

But Chen Yingxiong and his teammates obviously followed the first game.

As a competitor in the Champions League qualifiers, Naples certainly hopes that Genoa will lose the game.

However, Genoa has been in good shape recently and it is not easy for them to lose.

When the Naples team was on their way to the away game, the match between Genoa and Lazio was in full swing.

After their plane landed, they got good news from the coach.

"Genoa lost at home!"

"Oh oh oh oh!"

"awesome!"

"Long live!"

"Ahaha! We have a show!"

Since it was determined that the goal of this season is to hit the Champions League places for next season, everyone is full of fighting spirit and is particularly excited about the next game.

The loss of Genoa is indeed good news for Naples. Next, as long as they beat Cagliari in the away game, they will be able to close the points gap with Genoa.

Every city in Italy is like an independent landscape, but Chen Yingxiong has no intention of admiring the beauty that is praised by people in the travel notes. He followed the team to Cagliari and rested for a night. The next afternoon, under the glaring sunlight of Sardinia and the Mediterranean, the battle began.

Cagliari is not easy to play. Although they were still fighting in the low-level leagues a few years ago, their head coach Allegri (massimiliano_allegri) is a very competent head coach among Italian coaches.

He has just taught Cagliari this season, but he has led the team to create a very good result.

It is quite difficult to beat them at their home court.

But for things that are less difficult, wouldn’t it be no fun to challenge them? Chen Yingxiong thought so.

"Hero-goooooooooool! He scored his twentieth goal of the season! What an incredible performance! He almost wasted the entire first half of the season, but with his super performance in the second half of the season, he turned out to be a league shooter. Catch up to fourth place on the list! He surpassed Gilardino in Florence!"

In the exclamation of the narrator, Chen Yingxiong was running under the bright sunshine of Sardinia. The sweat on his body was illuminated by the sun and gave out a dazzling brilliance.

In the 30th minute, he opened the scoring for the team!

"This is a long shot from outside the penalty area! He suddenly pulled outside the penalty area and came with a powerful long shot! Cagliari's goalkeeper Marchetti (federico_marchetti) made a save, but still Nothing can stop the football from flying into the goal! Chen Yingxiong's long shot is quite threatening!"

"I don't know if Ibrahimović, who is among the top scorers in the scorer list, feels threatened, they now have a fierce competitor!"

"In the first season of joining Serie A, he scored 20 goals! Such a forward is indeed fierce!"

"He reminds me of Shepchenko. The two men have completely different styles. The only thing they have in common is... they can both score goals!"

"If he can maintain this state in the first half of the season, I even think he can compete with Gunnar Nodal! The Swedish star scored 35 goals in his first season in Serie A. The top scorer in Serie A! This single-season scoring record has yet to be broken..."

Although Cagliari quickly used a penalty kick to equalize the score.

But after knowing that Genoa lost, Naples was already an unstoppable chariot.

In the ninth minute of the second half, Paul Cannavaro scored a header from a corner kick to help the team take the lead again.

In the 78th minute of the game, Arshavin assisted Hamsik, who calmly shot in the penalty area and completely sealed the victory.

Although Cagliari scored a goal by their No. 10 Lazzari (andrea_lazzari) in the 90th minute, it didn't help.

Naples successfully won the game away from home, narrowing the points gap between them and Genoa to one point!

This point made all Naples smell the fragrance of the Champions League.

When all the people of Naples turned their enthusiastic eyes on the team's ranking in the league standings, no one knew that something happened in the luxurious manor of de Laurentiz on the side of the Vesuvius volcano in Naples. This is enough to affect future events in Naples.

Pierre Paulo Marino made the decision to resign after a long talk with Aurelio de Laurentiis.

Just when the Naples team returned to Naples with the joy of victory, the Naples Club officially announced that the club chairman De Laurentiz agreed to the general manager Marino's resignation.

The entire Italian media was in an uproar.

Marino's role in Naples is clear to everyone. When Marino came to Naples, the club had nothing, and even the training uniforms had to be brought by the players. Now Naples has become one of the most financially strong clubs in Italy. This cannot but say that he is well managed.

Look at Naples today. Hamsik, Lavezzi, Santa Croce, Maggio, Hero Chen, and Arshavin are all brought to the team during his tenure. These people are basically Naples. The main lineup.

It is such a man who has made outstanding contributions to the revival of Naples, but the get out of class has ended!

Isn’t it surprising?

What caused Marino to resign?

Some media speculate that it may be related to the conflict between Lavezzi and coach Mazzari, because everyone knows that Lavezzi was brought to the team by Marino. Perhaps in the struggle between the players and the head coach, de Laurentiis is on the side of the head coach, but in the war between the head coach and the club manager, he still chooses to stand on the side of the head coach. So Marino and Lavezi are tragic.

There are also media analysis that this has nothing to do with Lavezzi. Because de Laurentiis has long been dissatisfied with Marino. He manages the club very well, but he has always been reluctant to invest in the transfer market, always making small troubles. Chen Yingxiong and Arshavin were brought by Laurentius himself, and had nothing to do with Marino. Take a look at the performance of Chen Yingxiong and Arshavin. The players who have spent a lot of money do have their outstanding points, and they can be worthy of the transfer fee and salary the club pays for them.

Didn't de Laurentiis just released Naples' second five-year plan? Since you want to be a rich man, it's no good to be so stingy. But Marino is used to being a parent of a poor family, and a little bit can't make a big transfer...In other words, he and Rea were fired for the same reason. The club wanted to continue to develop, but was affected by the management's ability. And the limits of vision, only by unraveling the shackles that bind the team, can the team soar into the sky.

Nowadays, in world football, all those successful giants are willing to spend money. Real Madrid and Barcelona invest tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of euros each year, for what? Isn’t it just to maintain sufficient competitiveness?

Arsenal is a negative example. Because of their stingy investment, Wenger is always careful and reluctant to spend money, so they have not won any championships for several years.

The second-rate and semi-first-class teams, if they want to become giants, first they have to build a lineup that can rival the giants, so that it costs money. Look at the original Chelsea, before Abramovich’s arrival, Chelsea definitely cannot be regarded as a giants team. Although there are Vialli, Gullit, Zola and others, they can only play spoilers in the Premier League. character of. Until Abramovich came to Stamford Bridge with the ruble, he did not hesitate to invest a large sum of transfer fees, digging out excellent managers, and young training seedlings from everywhere, to train them, and then he paid a lot of money to invite Mourini A young and promising man like Ou.

Then, now when everyone talks about giants, Chelsea will always be included in the list unconsciously, even if in a strict sense, Chelsea is not a giant. But in everyone’s minds, Chelsea already has the strength to compete with those traditional giants, and it is only natural to get the same status as the giants...

If Abramovich is a stingy person, without his input for so many years, how could Chelsea have the status it is today?

De Laurentiis is just repeating the path of his predecessors.

Based on this analysis, Marino's dismissal seems reasonable.

Of course, the outside world will never know the truth about Marino's dismissal, because neither of them said anything.

Marino just issued a brief statement: "In the past few years, I have completed all the tasks assigned to me by the club. I am very honored to be able to work in a great club like Naples. Mr. de Laurentiis will always They are all my friends, and I also want to thank him for the support and trust he has given me over the years. On the issue of leaving, we have reached an agreement with each other."

De Laurentiis also expressed his gratitude to Marino for his contribution: "The club and I are very grateful for what he has done at the Naples club. I am very sad for his departure. But this is the way to go. I I wish him luck, both the individual and the club!"

For whatever reason, Marino and Rhea, the greatest heroes of Naples' revival, have left. Many people are not very optimistic about the future prospects of this club, and even feel that the prospects of Naples have cast a shadow.

After experiencing high-level turmoil, can Naples really rejuvenate and rise as their club chairman said?
