Center

Chapter 155 The Glory of Naples

Rhea has been in a good mood recently.

During the two weeks when the main striker Sosa was absent due to injury, Naples did not stop their progress. Two games, two wins, seven goals and only one goal conceded. Another main striker, Carajo, scored three goals in two games, showing a good state.But what makes Rhea even more happy is that the Chinese center Long Bisheng, who was temporarily used to replace Sosa, has been perfectly integrated into the team's tactical system. Although only one goal was scored in two and a half games, it allowed other players to score a lot.

However, the gap between Long Bisheng and Sosa is still obvious. Although he has shown a strong desire to score in the last game, Reya does not think that he can replace Sosa's deterrence and scoring ability on the court. In the next round of the league, Reya discovered the biggest gap between Long Bisheng and Sosa.

That is experience.

In the fourth round of No.20, Naples challenged Teramo in an away game. This is a team at the bottom of the standings. Rea put Sosa, who had resumed training, on the bench. First, because he resumed training, Rea did not want to take risks.

But Long Bisheng's performance in this game was not good-although he made up for Carayo's shot in front of the goal in the first half, his performance was indeed not good.

The defenders of Serie C may not be particularly strong, but they are Italian defenders after all. Italian defenders have an understanding of defense that is unmatched in the world. In the first few games, no one was familiar with Long Bisheng, so he was confused by his blind punches.

These veterans of the Italian league immediately found out the biggest shortcoming of Long Bisheng-youngness, or lack of experience.

In the away game against Viterbis, the opposing defender tried to prevent him from entering the penalty area, controlled his jumping, defended around the front and even flopped during the confrontation to stop his attack. This method played a very good role. For example, in the counterattack, the defender defending him would constantly block his way forward, forcing him to slow down the speed of entering the penalty area. One clamped him to take off, and the other was responsible for heading around the front to clear the sack.

The number of times Long Bisheng entered the penalty area was greatly reduced, and he lacked the ability to dribble and break through the penalty area, and his passing occasionally had miraculous effects, but he was not a real attacking midfielder after all, and playing organization was definitely not what he was good at—this way, Long Bisheng’s role on the field was reduced to a minimum, and he could no longer have as many shooting opportunities as in the previous game—under such circumstances, his weakness in front of the goal was more obvious than that of Sosa.

This is a lack of experience. After all, Long Bisheng has played in the regular professional league for less than a year. Although his basic skills are very solid, his feeling in the game needs to be cultivated through a lot of formal games.

Long Bisheng was replaced in the second half, and Sousa, who replaced him, immediately scored a goal that sealed the victory for Naples. The Argentine center used this goal to declare that he is still Naples' number one choice on the front line.

Although Long Bisheng exposed his weaknesses in this game, Reya did not intend to stop his training - because Long Bisheng's weaknesses are only in experience, although his decisiveness and sensitivity when shooting still need to be strengthened, and some breakthrough abilities and means should be added, but all of these can be developed slowly and can be piled up with a large number of games.He doesn't want to give up such a young center with unlimited potential. Naples is not a giant, at least not now.He can't expect the boss to spend a lot of money to buy famous stars every season. In fact, even a wealthy family needs to have excellent players trained by themselves.

In the next game, although Sosa regained his main position, Long Bisheng still got enough opportunities to play. Sometimes he came off the bench after Sosa scored a goal, and sometimes Rhea consciously rotated. He clearly distinguishes the difference between benign competition and vicious competition. He just used harder training and better performance to prove that he is still the number one striker in Naples.

The healthy competition between the two center forwards made Naples perform better and better in the league. They beat their opponents every game. A wave of eight consecutive victories allowed them to lead No.2 Frosinone by as much as [-] points. After the winter break, this team was only three points behind Naples. Only one will be lost!
The defense is not inferior to the first half of the season, and the offense is much stronger than the first half of the season. Such a Naples team is invincible in Serie C—because their stage should not care about Serie C. For Naples fans, they came to Serie C this season.
It is worth mentioning that the current Naples is not the Naples before the bankruptcy. Although there is no change in the history, honor and home field, the original Naples club's full name is "Naples Sports and Football Club". The current Naples team came from the Sri Lanka club.

"Napoli Football Incorporated" inherited everything from "Napoli Sporting and Football Club", except for the name - which seems like nothing, but in a practical sense, the current Naples club is a brand new club, not Naples, which has recorded two league titles.

On April 20th, in the No.[-] ninth round of the Serie C League One, Naples ushered in the Campania Derby at home, and the opponent was Avellino, who is also in this area.

******************************************
Before the start of the game, club president Laurentiis and manager Marino unexpectedly came to the locker room. This was the first time this season and it also surprised the players.

Before the start of this game, Naples’ biggest competitor, Frosinone, won the game and temporarily narrowed the gap to seven points. Even if Naples won this game, they would not be able to advance five rounds ahead of time. Why did the boss and manager who never came to the locker room come to the locker room today?All players are guessing.

Film tycoon Laurentiis has his own business in Los Angeles, so he rarely returns to Italy. Everything is handed over to Marino to take care of, and the manager who once created a Naples dynasty with coach Bianchi, captain Maradona and others only plays his role off the field.Today he can come with Mr. Chairman who seldom returns to Italy, he must have something to announce.

"Boys, I'm proud of your achievements this season!" Laurentiis has a standard Italian face and a strong Neapolitan accent: "I believe that the 150 million citizens of Naples are also proud of you... I just got a piece of data, which is the number of fans at the San Paolo Stadium today... Gentlemen, do you know how many people there are? Sixty-one thousand six hundred and twenty-six! Brought back the hearts of the Napoli fans!"

Laurentiis yelled passionately, while Marino smiled slightly and a little proudly beside him-he also contributed to this number, and his great efforts were condensed in the formation of this team.

"Of course, I am not here today to announce this good news. It has always been the principle of Marino and me not to interfere with the work of the head coach. But today I have a news to announce. I want you to know this news as soon as possible."

Laurentiis had a mysterious smile on his face, and he successfully whetted the appetite of all the players, including the head coach Rhea, who were curiously waiting for him to tell the good news.

Why is it good news to know?Isn't it good news Mr. Chairman can smile so happily?

"After the whole-hearted efforts of the club and our manager Mr. Marino running around, the Naples club has regained its former glory! Starting today, the name 'Naples Sports and Football Club' will reappear in the Italian arena, and next season, it will appear in the Serie B arena!"

All the players were stunned for a moment, and then a huge cheer erupted in the Naples locker room!
