Lord of Greenery

Chapter 268 Advantages Are Also Disadvantages
In the past two days, Li Ze dared not go out easily.

Not only reporters are looking for him, fans are also looking for him.

Among the extreme fans of Naples, the most famous is a gang of mafia.

Even if it is not the mafia, just because they can be called "extreme" fans, they must not be taken lightly.

After talking with Mourinho, Li Ze lived in reclusive life for fear of being blocked by fans.

It is also because of this that Li Ze is rarely able to calm down these days and think about the transfer issue.

"What can you win in Naples? A league title?"

"Do you know how many league titles Zidane has? No? That's right!"

"If you want to be the best player, you shouldn't aim for the league title!"

"The Champions League! Only the Champions League is what you should strive for. No other championship can make you greater."

Li Ze still agrees with Mourinho's words.

In today's football, the highest level of honor is nothing more than the World Cup and the Champions League.

A player who has not won either of these two championships can hardly be regarded as a historical player.

When Li Ze came to professional football, with a game behind him, he naturally wouldn't set mediocrity as his goal.

Now that he is here to play football, he will become the strongest and best player in the football world, even in history!
However, it is difficult for him to win the World Cup, rather it is impossible.

The Hua Guo team won the World Cup championship in this period of time is something that can only happen in novels.

In fact, everyone knows that football is an 11-to-11 competitive event.

Among the championship-level teams, there must be players with outstanding personal abilities, but the level of other players must not be too low.

Otherwise, this person will definitely become the opponent's breakthrough.

The Hua Guo team is full of such weak players.

In front of top superstars, they may make many low-level mistakes.

Moreover, the Huaguo team did not have an overall feasible tactic.

Anyone who knows a little about football knows that if the Hua Guo team wants to defeat the strong with the weak, the best way is to play a defensive counterattack.

But the most important thing in defense and counterattack is defense. What is the overall defense level of the Huaguo team?

It's not too bad at the Asian level, but it often makes very low-level mistakes.

In the 2019 Asian Cup, when the Hua Guo team played against the Iranian team, each of the three central defenders gave a big gift, which was really shocking to watch.

The overall strength is too weak, and it is doomed that the Huaguo team will not have much good results.

Even with Li Ze's current strength, it is not an easy task to lead the Hua Guo team to win the Asian Cup.

The results the team can achieve also depend on the barrel effect.

The shortest piece of wood is the key to the Hua Guo team's performance.

In fact, the same is true for Naples.

The overall strength of Naples is actually not that strong.

Although they won the Europa League this season and also won the second place in the league standings, the overall strength of the team is really not good.

Except for him, no one's performance was particularly eye-catching.

Perhaps, he can also lead the Hua Guo team to win the Asian Cup.

Perhaps, he can also lead Naples to the league title.

But it is absolutely impossible for him to win the more advanced World Cup and Champions League.

Both are the most important and most valuable cups in professional football.

Without a strong whole, it is impossible to win the championship of the two.

They are all people who can stand at the pinnacle of football, how could Li Ze underestimate them?
In fact, Li Ze realized this when he joined Naples.

The solution he thought of before was to help the team sign up, and use his reputation to attract more and better players to be his teammates after he played.

As it turns out, that path doesn't seem to work.

Once, Li Ze thought that Naples would change for him, but after this summer, Li Ze began to doubt.

His salary issue has dragged on for such a long time, which is the most fundamental reason why Inter Milan can take advantage of it.

Moreover, the management does not seem to appreciate their own signing recommendations at all.

Bonucci and Heinze are the kind of players that can be introduced without spending too much.

Even if he is busy dealing with his transfer issues, it is not impossible to talk about one of them.

Naples is not short of money. Such a problem can only show that Naples' transfer efficiency is very poor, or that they didn't take his recommendation seriously.

No matter which one it is, it is difficult to complete Li Ze's "plan".

More importantly, Li Ze thought about the future Naples.

In the future, Naples will produce many stars, such as Higuain, Cavani, Coulibaly, and the most famous one is Hamsik.

But one thing is worth pondering -

Naples, there has never been a big transfer.

The king of history is nothing more than buying Higuain who does not want to be a substitute in Real Madrid.

Even for a small smoking gun, Naples only paid 4000 million euros.

That's right, Naples' team history transfer record is only 4000 million euros.

At present, the transfer fee may be relatively high, but in the future......

The owner, De Laurentiis, is very rich, but he doesn't seem to want to invest money very much.

What's even more exaggerated is that Naples bought a lot of players, trained them into stars, and then sold them at a high price.

Cavani, Lavezzi and Higuain all left in this way.

Especially Higuain, in the original history, he broke the Serie A scoring record.

Even if he didn't lead the team to win the league championship, no one can deny Higuain's personal ability at that time.

But Naples failed to keep Higuain and was taken away by Juventus with liquidated damages.

Looking back at this time, Li Ze always feels that Higuain's current situation is very similar to his own.

Higuain left Naples at that time, which can really be said to be a betrayal.

And his departure really hurt Naples.

Although he can't say how good his performance at Juventus is, it can't be said how bad it is.

More importantly, he went to Juventus, Napoli's biggest rivals in Serie A.

This directly led to Naples not winning the league championship in those years.

It is true that there are Higuain's reasons for letting their ace go to competitors in the same league, but is there no problem in Naples itself?
Considering what happened to him, Li Ze doesn't think so.

As the owner of the club, De Laurentiis' planning and investment in Naples are actually quite reasonable, which can be said to be an advantage.

But if you want to win the Champions League and become a wealthy family, it is doomed to be unreasonable in terms of capital injection.

It's as if Chelsea, Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain all rely on appalling money to get closer to the status of giants step by step.

If Naples wants to change from a strong team to a giant, it cannot have a budget-conscious owner.

When Li Ze was thinking back, he remembered another sentence of Mourinho.
