"Arsenal's players are still very tenacious and have great fighting spirit!"
In the chairman's stand at the Emirates Stadium, Napoli general manager Pierpaolo Marino smiled broadly and said to Arsenal CEO Ivan Gazidis sitting next to him.
The latter's face almost collapsed.
What a slap in the face!
When the draw results first came out, he vowed that Arsenal had a strength advantage and got a good draw. He also talked about how to beat Naples. But who would have thought that the first round would be played on his doorstep.
Being fucked by Naples was zero to three.
Gazidis can fully imagine how the entire British media circle will ridicule and ridicule him tomorrow, and how they will ridicule and humiliate his previous remarks, and all of this is thanks to Gao Shen and his Naples.
No, this damn Italian bald guy can’t wait to start.
Arsenal’s fighting spirit is commendable?
really!
Look at the court, it's already eighty minutes into the game, and the score is still zero to three.
But the home team Arsenal is still working hard to launch waves of attacks against Naples.
Wenger's team did not choose to give up, but instead tried their best to win a home goal and make their defeat look more decent as much as possible.
But, that's all.
The match has been decided.
In the second half, Naples continued to play steadily and showed great patience.
At halftime, Wenger took the lead in making substitution adjustments, replacing Theo Walcott with Bendtner.
Wenger played Walcott up, obviously to take advantage of his speed, but the effect was very poor.
As soon as Walcott gets the ball, he dives into the crowd. It seems that he doesn't bother to go to areas where there are not many defensive players.
As a result, you don't need to think about it. Every time, you hit your head and lost the ball.
But after the substitution, Bendtner did not press forward to play center, but was still placed on the right wing.
This center forward has the body and skills, but he just doesn't have the speed. Let him play on the wing. I really don't know what Wenger is thinking.
Perhaps, he was already sick and needed medical treatment urgently.
After that, Arsenal made two more substitutions. One was to replace Adebayor with Denilson, and the team changed to 4, 2, 3, 1.
But it seems that the effect is not very good.
Another time, he directly replaced Nasri with Gervinho, still wanting to strengthen his offense.
Gazidis is indeed a little embarrassed sitting in the stands, but from the perspective of a club operator, Arsenal can be considered a success this season. After all, they have reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League, which has exceeded the club's expectations.
The league is slightly worse than last season, but if we can keep the top four, it's okay.
In the final analysis, the current favorites have no intention of aiming for a better ranking, let alone a championship.
The only unsightly thing is tonight's battle against Naples.
What a miserable loss!
This is definitely the worst loss since the opening of the Emirates Stadium!
…
"I heard from outside that Gao Shen will not renew his contract after coaching this season?" Gazidis asked with a smile.
Marino looked at Gazidis blankly for a while, then nodded, secretly admiring him.
Even though your face has been slapped like this by Gao Shen, you can still laugh. It’s hard not to accept it!
"His contract with us has always been for one year. Now is a critical moment for the team to compete for the championship. It is not a good time to sign a contract. Therefore, we have put it on hold for the time being." Marino replied officially.
"That's right." Gazidis knew it well and stopped worrying about Marino's wording.
"With your outstanding performance this season, I believe it will be difficult for all of this group of players to stay this summer, right?"
Marino's heart suddenly trembled when he heard this. Is this a sign that he wants to poach someone?
The Naples general manager smiled and looked at Gazidis noncommittally, waiting for him to continue.
"I wonder what your positioning is for David Luiz? What's the price tag?" Gazidis cursed the old fox in his heart.
"Last summer, before Inter Milan signed Lucio, they had thought about bringing in David Luiz. They privately made us an offer of 20 million euros and said there was still room for negotiation." Marino suddenly
Said another thing.
Gazidis was stunned for a moment, but he soon figured it out. When he looked at Marino, his eyes suddenly changed.
"Isn't this very realistic?"
Marino's meaning is obvious. Last summer, Inter Milan offered 20 million euros, but Napoli didn't sell him. So with his outstanding performance this season, David Luiz's value will definitely skyrocket.
As for how much it will surge, it depends on the situation.
Gazidis hinted that your spending power in Serie A is so low, so why are you shouting sky-high prices?
Marino was secretly amused. He even wanted to ask, do you think I am a fool?
What's going on outside now, you know, I don't?
What is the current price of central defenders, especially high-level central defenders?
In 2007, Real Madrid bought Pepe for 30 million euros.
Everyone thinks, are Real Madrid crazy?
How much does Robben's transfer cost?
But think about it again, is it really crazy?
How many good central defenders are there in the transfer market now?
Manchester City wants to poach Kolo Toure from Arsenal during the winter break. What price will the Gunners offer?
Twenty million pounds!
Isn’t this price outrageous?
Think about it again, when did Pepe have the wonderful performance of David Luiz in Naples in Porto?
How old is Kolo Toure now? How old is David Luiz? Whose technical and tactical characteristics are more in line with the current mainstream trend?
That’s it, is David Luiz expensive?
There was a lot on his mind, but Marino just smiled, said nothing, and continued watching the game.
He has made his attitude towards Napoli clear.
If you want to poach, you can, just give me money!
No money? If you don’t have money, just watch and have fun, or shout a few times to help us enjoy it.
If you don’t have any money and still want to make a fortune, why are you showing off?
cut!
…
No one in the stadium knew what the two senior officials in the stands were talking about.
Everyone's attention has always been attracted by the game.
Especially in the 83rd minute, Arsenal once again attacked Naples' penalty area and tried to pass the ball into the penalty area. David Luiz defeated Adebayor and headed the ball to clear the ball.
The ball fell near the thirty-meter area.
Kolo Toure, who was squatting on the outside, judged the landing point, turned his back to the direction of attack, and tried to use an upside-down golden hook to hoist the ball back into the Naples penalty area. Unexpectedly, Cavani took the lead and hit it with his body.
A squeeze and a small movement on his hand caused Kolo Toure to lose his balance and miss the ball.
The Uruguayan center headed the ball to his teammate on the right and sprinted forward quickly.
Sanchez appeared on the right side of Cavani at this time. After grabbing the ball, he strode forward and accelerated to catch up.
Chrissy was chasing after him all the way.
Gallas, who was behind Arsenal at the end, rushed directly to the right, trying to intercept Sanchez.
But the Chilean winger had just passed the center line and had not yet reached Arsenal's 30-meter area. He took the lead and sent a diagonal pass behind the Arsenal defense, hoping that Cavani would chase it.
Cavani desperately chased, but his speed was a bit slow and he couldn't catch up. He wanted to run towards the left side of the penalty area to chase the ball, but Di Maria's voice came from behind.
"I come!"
Cavani knew it was Di Maria without having to tell the difference. He immediately inserted into the middle of the penalty area without hesitation. Between the two Arsenal defensive players Sagna and Song who were chasing back, he inserted diagonally into the right side of the penalty spot.
Prepare to attack the right post.
Di Maria rushed over quickly, stopped the ball, and adjusted slightly. Before Sagna could rush forward, he passed a curve ball with his left foot. He directly passed the ball from the outside of the left corner of the penalty area to the edge of the small penalty area.
the right side of.
I saw Cavani just in time to catch up with the ball. After seeing Almunia moving quickly, he directly pushed in the opposite direction.
The ball was headed to the left side of the goal by Cavani.
Arsenal's goalkeeper Almunia was moving to the right when he was suddenly hit in the opposite direction. He could only watch the ball and sigh, helpless.
"goallllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!"
"Four to zero!!!!"
"Oh my God, this is an absolute massacre!"
"Napoli staged a massacre at the Emirates Stadium!"
"Arsenal's defense was torn open time and time again, and all were quick counterattacks, which were very efficient."
"At the same time, we have to admire the Naples players. They have already played for more than 80 minutes. They are still able to sprint and counterattack so quickly, and their technical movements are not out of shape, which shows their physical advantage."
"Arsenal was completely defeated tonight!"
"Wenger's formation and on-the-spot command, as well as the performance of Arsenal's players, as well as the strength of this team, all need to be carefully reflected and summarized. Their defense was completely blown away by Naples."
…
On the sidelines, Gao Shen was drinking water in the visiting team's coaching bench. When he saw the team's counterattack, he didn't even have time to take a sip from the water bottle. When he saw Cavani score, he was even more excited.
, the mineral water bottle was thrown away by him, and everyone rushed to the sidelines excitedly, cheering and shouting loudly.
"Well done! Great!"
"Oh my God, I love you so much!"
"Boxes, boxes, boxes, boxes..."
Gao Shen's unbridled laughter could be clearly heard by the Arsenal fans in the stands, but at this moment, no one cared about it.
Scanning the live broadcast camera, you can clearly see that many Arsenal fans could no longer sit still and began to leave the stadium early.
Obviously, tonight's game made them extremely disappointed.
Who would have thought that facing Naples, which is not even considered a traditional strong team in Serie A, Arsenal would lose so embarrassingly and unbearably, almost exposing all of its own problems.
Gao Shen said before the game that he would show the world how to beat Arsenal.
Everyone just thought he was joking, but when it came to the competition, everyone was surprised to find that Gao Shen was not joking, but serious, and he did it.
The four goals, in essence, can be said to be exactly the same, but the coordination routines are different.
