Lord of Greenery

Chapter 179 Crisis
In all fairness, Dennis performed well in Naples.

As a player who has just landed in Serie A, he was able to score 12 goals in 5 league games. Even if this performance cannot be said to be amazing, it is at least not bad.

But what anyone fears the most is comparison.

Also just landed in Serie A, Li Ze scored 12 goals in 10 league games and currently ranks first in the Serie A scorer list with 4 assists.

Considering that Li Ze has to bear a considerable part of the responsibility of organizing the offense, Dennis, who is almost a pure shooter, pales in comparison.

Not only compared with Li Ze, Dennis is also forced to compare with shooters from other teams.

Genoa's Milito, Inter Milan's Ibrahimovic, Florence's Gilardino...

After a comparison, it seems that Dennis is the weakest one.

It stands to reason that Dennis, who has just arrived, should not be compared with these players.

However, Naples is now at the top of the league table!
As the main shooter at the top of the league table, he is so much worse than other teams' shooters?

After such a comparison, more fans are dissatisfied with Dennis.

Dennis was also angry amid criticism.

He has no way to be angry with the fans, he can only be angry with the reporters. Recently, he rarely accepts interviews from reporters and rarely answers questions from reporters.

And there is...

Li Ze found that Dennis didn't pay much attention to him recently.

Originally, Li Ze didn't take it seriously, he was still recovering from his injuries, but he couldn't let go of the training ground, so he came over to have a look.

But after a long time, Li Ze found that Dennis was giving him a face.

Li Ze was a little strange, and he didn't know how he had provoked this teammate, so he went to Ravitch to ask.

"The best fans are scolding him, scolding him and praising you at the same time, so..."

Before Lavitch finished speaking, Li Ze already understood.

Just like when he was young, he hated what his parents called "other people's children", now Dennis has a little resentment towards him who has been praised all the time.

Still the same sentence, everything is afraid of comparison.

Dennis, who has been scolded all the time, sees Li Ze, who has been praised all the time, can he balance his mind?
After figuring out the reason, Li Ze was a little bit dumbfounded while being angry.

But after thinking about it carefully, something was wrong with Li Ze.

Speaking of which, when I saw the news about Naples recently, when I scolded Dennis, I always seemed to want to pull him out for comparison.

Originally, Li Ze didn't think much about it, but seeing Dennis's current reaction, Li Ze couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

Is it intentional?

By pulling the two of them out for comparison, the two of them feel bad.

The more he thought about it, the more Li Ze felt that there was such a possibility.

When he had such doubts in his heart, Li Ze identified the suspect - Mourinho almost instantly!
Now, it is undoubtedly Inter Milan who most hope for internal strife in Naples, and the coach of Inter Milan is Mourinho.

Although not quite sure, Li Ze was three to four points sure of his guess.

After all, Mourinho's targeting some time ago was not concealed at all.

It has long been recognized that Mourinho is good at off-the-box moves.

If this is the truth, Li Ze can only admire.

Naples only had a small problem with the overall state, and Mourinho caught the loophole.

More importantly, it is clear that the opponent is just an "upstart" like Naples, but Mourinho, as the coach of a wealthy family, is chasing Naples, looking like he will do everything he can.

I really don't know, it should be said that he made a fuss out of a molehill, or that he didn't underestimate any opponent.

No matter what the world is like, there is only one thing Li Ze can be sure of——

The team is really in trouble right now, especially him.

Originally, Li Ze didn't care about it, thinking that Dennis' temper tantrum was only for a while.

However, if the media reporters do not intend to let Naples go, the gap between the two will only grow wider.

As a result, there was a little conflict between him, his teammates, and the team's head coach.

The current problem is not big, but it is difficult to resolve.

Even if he told everyone about his guess, he would not be trusted.

After all, he didn't have any evidence.

Even if everyone believes it, it doesn’t make sense, because the problem has already happened, the mirror has been broken, and the follow-up measures can only cover up the crack and cannot repair it.

The team cannot unite as one, which is a very bad thing for a team that is trying to compete for the championship.

Rather, Li Ze already had a bad premonition in his heart.

………………

In the 13th round of the league, Inter Milan will face Juventus at home.

After one-third of the schedule has passed, Juventus's state has slowly recovered, showing its background and adjustment ability as a veteran giant.

In the past 12 rounds, Juventus scored 24 points and is now ranked 4th in the league. It has officially entered the ranks of competing for the Champions League seat and even the league title!
This round of the league is particularly important to both Inter Milan and Mourinho.

In the current standings, Inter Milan is only 1 point away from Naples!
If the chain is lost at such a critical time, it will have a huge impact on the morale and self-confidence of the players.

Moreover, after playing Juventus, Inter Milan will play against Naples.

At the same time, the Champions League group stage has also entered the final key battle.

In such consecutive and important back-to-back games, it is undoubtedly crucial to adjust the player's state.

As a world-class head coach who has won many championships, Mourinho's personal ability and experience are beyond doubt.

But no matter how you say it, Juventus is not an easy opponent to deal with.

At the same time, Naples' opponent in the same round is nothing but Cagliari.

Cagliari is now ranked 15th in the league standings, but it is a relegation team.

It can be said that Naples' victory in this round is basically stable.

Many Naples fans are even more looking forward to it, hoping that Juventus will be stronger so that they can widen the gap with Inter Milan.

Juventus fans are a little entangled.

Emotionally speaking, they don't want Inter Milan to win the league championship. According to this mentality, helping Naples beat Inter Milan seems to be a good thing for everyone.

But at the same time, Napoli fans have been jumping a bit lately -

Because of the team's outstanding performance, some fans began to speak out, which in turn jeopardized the overall image of Naples fans.

Because they hate these people, Juventus fans don't want to help Naples, it will make them feel sick.

Moreover, although the mutual hatred is not as good as that with Inter Milan, the relationship between Naples and Juventus is also relatively poor.

In the end, Juventus fans still hope to win.

Being able to win the championship and the favorite Inter Milan is also a great encouragement to the confidence of Juventus players!

Even if the current results are not very good, Juventus is also a big favorite to win the championship.

As long as the state is adjusted, Juventus may not be able to regain the current points gap.

Then Juventus lost, losing 0:1 away to Inter Milan.

The only goal of the game happened in the 72nd minute. Ibrahimovic shot from a position 12 meters away from the penalty area, but the shot went sideways. The ball just ran to Muntari's feet.

For Ibrahimovic's shot, there are various speculations from the outside world——

Some thought it was a flawed kick, and some thought it was a deliberate kick that seemed to pass and shoot, just to confuse Buffon.

The Italian national derby came to an end, and the result disappointed the Naples fans.

But the more disappointing is yet to come——

Also in the 13th round, Naples unexpectedly drew with Cagliari 2:2 at home.

After this round, Inter Milan accumulated 30 points, surpassing Naples' 29 points.

Since the new season, Inter Milan has topped the league table for the first time!
