Chapter 0727, strong enemy Naples(1/2)
The draw ceremony for the Champions League group stage has ended. Some people are happy and some are sad.
Outside the venue, reporters surrounded the famous coaches from the major clubs who came to draw the lots, interviewing everyone about their expectations for the Champions League.
Mourinho: "Our goal is naturally the championship, there is no doubt! The championship we lost with Real Madrid last season, I will get it back with Chelsea this season! No matter who the opponent is, we will win them!"
Ancelotti: "Real Madrid is still the strongest contender for the Champions League. I have confidence in my team."
Guardiola: "Bayern will be even stronger in the new season and I am confident about our Champions League journey."
Madino: "Barcelona is still the best team in the world, and we are confident that we will return to the top."
Moyes: "I hope to continue Sir Alex Ferguson's Red Devils spirit, and Manchester United will go all out."
Wenger: "I'm very happy to be able to face an opponent with offensive football. I like such an opponent. Arsenal will definitely qualify smoothly."

Countless famous coaches made declarations of victory and were ready for the Champions League.
However, Alegre's statement was very strict.
"We will go all out and strive for the best performance."
There is no so-called goal, no grand expression.
This is the way that the strict and low-key Alegri is accustomed to.
It’s no wonder that many media complained that Allegri’s Triple Crown last season was just luck.
If there are players like Chang Ming and Long Yu in the team, and a coach like Mourinho or Guardiola, it will be easier to win the championship.
They got a good draw, and everyone in Milan was in a good mood.
Except for Long Yu, who has been shouting "I want to fuck Real Madrid! I want to fuck Bayern!", everyone is very satisfied with the result.
In the group stage, the team will face the dual pressure of the league and the Champions League.
Milan is now short of major generals and lacks depth on the bench.
In this case, the opponents in the Champions League group stage are weaker, which is conducive to player rotation.
This is a good thing.
Only by properly planning your physical fitness in advance can you strive for greater breakthroughs in the knockout stages.
The draw for the Champions League group stage is over, and Milan will face a dense schedule next.
On September 19, in the fourth round of Serie A, they faced Naples at home.
On September 22, the first match of the Champions League group stage was against Basel at home.
September 25th, the fifth round of Serie A, away game against Bologna.
On September 29, in the sixth round of Serie A, they faced Sampdoria at home.
On October 2, the second game of the Champions League group stage was an away game against Steaua Bucharest.
On October 7, the seventh round of Serie A was an away game against Juventus.
21 days, six games, an average of about one game every three days.
For Milan now, the intensive schedule is a great test.
This summer, they did not recruit well and the team's bench lacked depth.
Players' physical fitness must be distributed reasonably.
Turin was played last Wednesday, and the league this weekend is also very close.
To continue rotating.
In this game, it was rare for Allegri to let Long Yu sit on the bench.
This was beyond many people's expectations.
The forward pairing is Matri and Balotelli.
Allegri needs to make many preparations this season.
Long Yu's physical fitness is not as good as Chang Ming's. It is impossible for him to continue to start, let alone play the entire game continuously.
Therefore, the team needs to try more striker combinations.
Matri is a product of Milan's youth training and has a strong impact.
Returning this summer has high hopes.
Not to mention surpassing Long Yu, even if it reaches 70% of Long Yu's level, it is still very good.
Facing the strong enemy Naples in this game, Allegri gave Matri a chance when Long Yu's physical condition was average.
But the result was disappointing.
Today Naples will play with all their main players.
The former Real Madrid star Yin Guayin on the front line has become the new striker of this team.
In the first three league games, he averaged one goal and two assists per game.
Such results are already outstanding for a newcomer to Serie A.
Behind him is former Real Madrid teammate Callejon, and the two work together well.
Also on the wing is Insigne, a young player born in 1991.
This young Italian is called "Little Maradona" by many Naples fans.
Although his performance and ability are far inferior to those of the ball king.
However, his technical characteristics are indeed somewhat similar to those of the Argentinian football king.
He is not tall, has excellent ball control, is very fast, and shoots accurately.
After returning from a loan spell last season, he grew rapidly.
Now he has become the absolute main force of the team.
Behind Yin Guain, Callejon and Insigne, Hamsik took the position of attacking midfielder.
This talented Slovak midfielder has already been the core organizer of Naples.
During the last transfer period, he had relationships with many wealthy teams.
In the end, I was able to stay on the team because I saw Naples' ambition.
Especially after seeing Yin Guayin joining.
"He is the best striker in the world in my opinion!" Hamsik said firmly.
But even teammates and even forwards will not be delayed.
Because Yin Guayin is really too strong.
Not only the offensive line, Naples' defense is also very good.
The midfielder's double midfielder combination of Dzema Yinli and Behrami.
Albiol, Britos, Zuniga, Mesto and other players on the defense line.
All have strong defensive abilities.
Goalkeeper Reina has rich experience in the Premier League. He came to Serie A this season and performed very steadily.
On the bench, there are also many powerful players such as Mertens, Pandev, and Inler.
Just looking at this lineup, as long as Naples gets a good run-in, the future will be limitless.
Facing Milan, half of the main team, they launched an aggressive attack from the beginning.
Although it was at San Siro, their offensive was full of mistakes.
In the 14th minute of the game, Hamsik made a direct pass to Yin Guayin, who hit the goal post alone.
Milan fans were shocked.
Five minutes later, Insigne passed three people in a row again.
In the end, Chang Ming, who returned to defense, cut off the attack.
Watching his opponent's continuous attacks, Chang Ming sighed softly.
This game was played like the previous game in Turin...
Not even as good as the last one.
After all, there was Long Yu in front before.
Although Balotelli also performed well in this game, Matri really stretched his hips.
As a center, although Matri is tall and powerful, he is far behind Long Yu.
Not only is it difficult to hold the ball, but his shooting is also ridiculously poor.
Even though he didn't adapt to Milan, his overall performance was really impressive.
To be continued...
