After winning this victory, Parma finally moved up one place in the rankings and came to the 18th place.

They surpassed Chievo, which was fined three points due to financial problems.

Matteo remembered that Chievo would be relegated this season and eventually went bankrupt due to financial problems.

But Feilu was not as lucky as Parma. They did not succeed in bankruptcy and reorganization, so they eventually disappeared completely in the Italian league system.

Even if their team soul Pelissier went to reorganize a club called Chievo, they were no longer that Chievo.

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

But now is not the time for him to feel sentimental, because Parma will face another tough battle in the next round.

That is to challenge Naples away!

Naples has been a very competitive team in Serie A in recent years and a frequent visitor to the Champions League.

And this year their odds of winning the championship are also ranked in the top three, which is enough to see their strength.

But then again, in the last four games, Parma has encountered the top three teams in the odds of winning the championship, which can be regarded as their ancestors' graves.

Napoli's head coach this year is the famous coach Ancelotti, who is now in the trough of his coaching career.

But his ability is unquestionable. The 442 formation he tailored for Napoli is still very good. In the first five rounds of the league, they also achieved a record of four wins and one loss, second only to Juventus.

So before the game, the media were unanimously optimistic about Napoli, and they believed that Ancelotti's team would win easily.

But De Zerbi believes that the team now has great potential. As long as they fully implement their own tactics, they are not without the possibility of winning!

In this game, De Zerbi continued to use the 4231 formation, but he made an adjustment in the positions of the two wingers.

He put Gervinho on the left and Odegaard on the right.

One of them will play on the left with his right foot, and the other will play on the right with his left foot. It seems that De Zerbi wants to use them to frequently cut inside to create threats.

The midfield trio is Rossi, Soucek and McAllister. These three are both offensive and defensive, which can ensure that Parma will not suffer in the midfield.

The striker is still Mateo, and De Zerbi found that he is better than Haaland in tough battles.

The starting lineup of Naples is Ospina, Hysaj, Koulibaly, Albiol, Rui, Callejon, Alan, Zielinski, Insigne, Mertens, Milik.

Seeing the big Insigne, Mateo couldn't help but think of the little Insigne who fought with him last season, but now he is still on loan. This season he was loaned to De Zerbi's old club Benevento.

To be fair, his level can play a rotation in the Serie A team, but that's it.

His talent is still a step behind his brother.

There is no way, the football world is so cruel.

When he thought of this, he looked at his good friend Dino Rossi unconsciously.

If he didn't have this skill, the two of them would probably be able to play in Serie C at best, and then they would spend their entire careers in low-level leagues.

But everything is different now. He and Rossi finally have the opportunity to see a higher sky!

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel proud.

Rossi glanced at him and said, "What are you thinking about? Why do you look so wretched?"

Mateo glared at him and said, "You are wretched, your whole family is wretched!"

Rossi was furious: "You said my dad is wretched, I admit it, but my mom is not wretched!"

Mateo laughed: "Yes, yes, Aunt Sarah is not wretched, your dad is really wretched..."

Rossi kicked him hard, but Matteo took the opportunity to grab his short legs: "Come on, let me let you kick me again!"

Rossi was furious: "You kid just rely on your long arms and legs, right! Look at how I can do a roundhouse kick!"

Now Rossi is 1.75 meters tall, definitely not a short man, but Matteo is nearly 1.9 meters tall, so he is naturally half a head taller than him.

Matteo laughed and twisted his legs while holding Rossi's legs.

Anyway, Rossi couldn't reach him.

The setting sun stretched the shadows of the two of them very long, just like the long youth time.

Soon, time came to the day of the game on September 26.

Before the game started, De Zerbi took the initiative to find Ancelotti and shook hands with him.

He was also a member of the AC Milan youth training camp, so he naturally admired this former AC Milan star very much.

It’s a pity that he was not talented enough as a player, and he never had the opportunity to play in AC Milan, let alone the opportunityI will play under Ancelotti.

He said to Ancelotti: "Hello, Mr. Ancelotti, we finally have the opportunity to compete on the court."

Ancelotti smiled: "I didn't expect that the kids in the youth training camp back then would become head coaches. This is really amazing."

De Zerbi was a little surprised: "I didn't expect you to still remember me."

Ancelotti said: "That should be in 1991 or 1990, right? That was when you went to AC Milan for a trial. We met once. But you changed a lot from then to now."

De Zerbi was a little excited: "It was 1991! I still remember it. But you haven't changed much from before."

Ancelotti couldn't help laughing: "You are talking about the body shape!"

De Zerbi quickly said: "I am talking about the appearance..."

Ancelotti smiled and patted his shoulder: "But we are quite predestined. I started my career in Parma, and later I coached Parma and AC Milan, and now I coach Naples. You started your career in AC Milan, and later played for Naples, and now I coach Parma. Our life trajectories are really similar!"

De Zerbi was a little embarrassed: "I am far behind you!"

Ancelotti said: "Don't be so modest! I have studied your game, and you are definitely a very thoughtful coach. In time, you will definitely have the opportunity to coach a top team!"

De Zerbi smiled: "Then I will give you good wishes!"

After the two head coaches exchanged greetings, the players of both sides also completed the pre-match ceremony.

However, Matteo's eyes occasionally glanced at the fat guy on the sidelines.

Although this fat guy is a fat man now, he was an excellent midfield organizer back then.

So he has set his sights on Ancelotti's skills!

He secretly planned in his heart that he must take advantage of the opportunity to win when the game is over!

Just then, the referee's whistle sounded.

The game officially began!
