Naples and Inter Milan are definitely not good friends. Their rivalry can be traced back to the Maradona era. Later, with the decline of Naples, Inter Milan obviously no longer took Naples seriously. Now, with José Mourinho, the most controversial coach in world football, joining Inter Milan, the hatred between the two has entered a new chapter.

In the first half of the season, in the last game where Reja led the team, Napoli lost to Inter Milan 1:2 away, and Reja was dismissed afterwards.

But this was just a normal match. At that time, Napoli was in internal trouble and had no time to fight Inter Milan to the death.

Now that Napoli has recovered, they are bound to have a good fight when they meet Inter Milan at such an important moment.

But Mourinho was the first to start the war.

Since landing in Serie A, he has quickly offended all Italians, except for those at Inter Milan…

He even dared to attack Lippi, who led the Italian national team to the World Cup, and quickly earned himself a large number of enemies from Italy.

He brought his set from England to Italy, but forgot that Italy is not England. Here, football coaches are more willing to devote themselves to studying their own and their opponents' tactics, rather than spitting at each other a week before each game.

This is his first season coaching Inter Milan, not even a full one, but the people he has offended can already make up the starting lineup of two teams.

Even Buffon, the always friendly and inoffensive Italian goalkeeper, couldn't help but criticize Mourinho: "I don't like people who are too stupid or too smart. Mourinho cannot be regarded as a stupid person, but for me, nothing is worse than criticizing colleagues, so everyone should try to respect him."

He is used to bombing his peers, and he regards this as psychological warfare. In fact, he did succeed in angering the Italians, so for a short period of time, the criticisms about him were overwhelming, as if Mourinho had become a public enemy.

During that time, the only person in Italian football who could compete with Mourinho and attract a lot of media attention was Chen Yingxiong, the top scorer of Napoli.

The two arrived in Serie A at the same time, one as a player and the other as a coach. Both were arrogant and found a powerful enemy to target. Mourinho criticized Lippi, and Chen Yingxiong said Maradona should be forgotten.

If these two people with similar personalities get together… there will definitely be no good outcome.

A reporter ran to ask Mourinho what he thought of his next opponent, especially Chen Yingxiong, who was already ranked fourth on the scorer list and had scored twenty goals, and whether he would become a headache for Mourinho.

Mourinho's answer was disdainful: "A big guy over 1.9 meters tall? Are you talking about Ibrahimović? He's really great!"

He talked a lot, always praising Ibrahimović in his own team, and never mentioned Chen Yingxiong at all.

He doesn't take you, Chen Yingxiong, seriously at all!

Faced with Mourinho's attitude, how would Chen Yingxiong respond?

The reporters thought, since he dared to offend even Maradona, wouldn't Mourinho be even less of a problem?

But Chen Yingxiong's reaction disappointed the reporters.

Chen Yingxiong just asked back: "Did he really say that?"

The reporter nodded vigorously, then waited expectantly for Chen Yingxiong to say something harsh.

Who would have thought that Chen Yingxiong just nodded thoughtfully: "Oh, then I understand."

And that was it!

That was how he responded to Mourinho's disdain!

This made the reporters unable to believe their eyes and ears—is this really Chen Yingxiong, who is used to picking fights? Is this really Chen Yingxiong, who dares to be an enemy of even Maradona? Has he been abducted by aliens?

"This is so boring!"

"It's unbelievable, Chen Yingxiong actually gave in?"

"I don't know what he's thinking? If he's not afraid of even Maradona, why would he be afraid of a Mourinho?"

"Could it be that he plans to transfer to Inter Milan and leave a good impression on Mourinho?"

The reporters frowned and speculated endlessly, but no one could say why Chen Yingxiong's reaction was so bland.

※※※

Chen Yingxiong did not make a strong counterattack, but someone took the initiative to stand up for him.

His close friend, the chairman of Napoli, Aurelio De Laurentiis, came out to seek justice for Chen Yingxiong.

"Mourinho can praise his Ibrahimović, but for me, the best center forward in all of Italy is only Yingxiong! Even if you give me money, I wouldn't trade him for Ibrahimović!"

Ibrahimović probably only had one mood at this time—tears streaming down his face as he looked up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle: Damn it! I got shot while lying down!

It was originally Mourinho who started the war of words, but he became a victim. He couldn't say anything, who told Mourinho to be his coach?

De Laurentiis is a well-known big mouth in Italy, how could he let go of such an opportunity to spit, so his counterattack was not over yet.

"For me, Mazzarri is also an excellent coach. Mourinho? If I were looking for an actor, I would consider hiring this Inter Milan coach."

Mourinho's response to De Laurentiis's evaluation was: "He probably doesn't have enough money to hire me."

※※※

De Laurentiis spoke out for Chen Yingxiong and fought a war with Mourinho.

But no matter what, Chen Yingxiong's sudden low profile also made people very suspicious and puzzled.

But you can't understand him from the outside world.

Only Arshavin, who lives in the same house with him, knows what Chen Yingxiong is doing.

"What are you doing?" Arshavin saw Chen Yingxiong was "writing furiously" at his desk.

"Writing an open letter to Mourinho." Chen Yingxiong said without raising his head.

"Oh? Planning to publish it in the media?"

"No, planning to give it to him personally."

Arshavin leaned over and saw that Chen Yingxiong was not writing on paper, but on a white vest.

The content is actually very simple—

To Mourinho: Now you know who I am, right? From Yingxiong.

Chen Yingxiong was smearing and blackening each letter.

Arshavin laughed.

"Are you planning to use it after scoring a goal?"

Chen Yingxiong nodded: "Yeah, and I have to rush to him to do it."

He made a gesture of lifting up his jersey.

"I knew you wouldn't let it go so easily." Arshavin said.

"That's right!" Chen Yingxiong shook his head and continued to paint.

The Stadio San Paolo, which can accommodate 64,000 people, was packed on this day. Everyone came to watch Napoli's home game against Inter Milan.

Because in the earlier game, Genoa lost to Bologna 0:2 away. Before the Napoli game started, the difference between the two sides was one point. If Napoli can beat Inter Milan at home, they will surpass Genoa and become fourth in the league. If they can get this ranking at the end of the league, they can participate in the Champions League qualifiers next season.

So this game attracted so much attention, making the whole of Naples almost boil.

As soon as the Genoa game ended, many Napoli fans walked out of their houses and flocked to the Stadio San Paolo.

Chen Yingxiong and his teammates also learned the result of the Genoa game on the bus to the stadium. At that time, cheers, whistles and applause rang out in the carriage.

Some people even shouted: "Long live Bologna! I love Bologna!!"

Causing a group of people to laugh.

Genoa has lost two consecutive games, which is obviously affected by Napoli, who is chasing closely behind them.

That's right! That's the effect we want!

It doesn't mean that the lagging party can only win the game and then wait for the opponent to make a mistake. They can also use continuous victories and surging momentum to disrupt the opponent's position.

Genoa obviously lacks the experience of being a leader. Their excellent performance this season has completely exceeded everyone's expectations.

When they become leaders and are chased by people from behind, the problems of lack of experience and lack of dominance are exposed.

"Beat them! We're going to the Champions League!!" Chen Yingxiong suddenly stood up, raised his fist and shouted.

More people followed suit and shouted: "Champions League! Champions League! We're going to the Champions League!!"

"Ooooooh! Champions League Champions League! We're going to the Champions League!" Everyone stood up from their seats, waved their arms, sang and danced, as if they had already won the game and gone to the Champions League.

The optimistic and cheerful nature of the Italians and the passionate temperament of Naples are perfectly combined. The group of people turned a bus carriage into a party scene.

Ariano Mareca, the old driver who has been driving the bus for Napoli for thirty years, smiled when he heard the players shouting "Champions League Champions League, we're going to the Champions League".

This scene is somewhat familiar…

※※※

In this way, Napoli's bus drove into the special passage of the Stadio San Paolo in the excited shouts of the players.

When the players got off the bus, they had not yet retreated from that excited mood. Many people jumped directly from the top step, and some twisted their butts, humming songs and dancing as they got off the bus.

Causing the reporters who were surrounding both sides of the passage to film the players' arrival at the stadium to be surprised and confused, not knowing what was wrong with these people.

Later, they remembered—Genoa had just lost the game.

Many people's eyes lit up.

This means that Napoli is more motivated to win this game!

They are going to fight Mourinho's Inter Milan to the death!

There's a good show to watch!
