Chapter 1 Captain Naples

When people in Naples talk about football, they will never forget their hero Maradona. It was the most glorious period of football in their city. The only two Serie A champions were also snatched from the three northern heroes in that era.

However, after entering the new era, life in Naples was really hard. Before the phone door occurred, Naples was bankrupt and was directly punished to the League C. They almost lost their position in the League C.

In 2004, Naples, which had entered the bankruptcy liquidation period, welcomed his new owner, the movie tycoon De Lorentis, referred to as Delaud, took action in time to keep Naples in Italian football, but at that time they even lost the name "Naples".

Until 2006, Naples, which had one ladder a year, finally got its name back from the Italian Football Association. At this time, Naples also set a record, the only Italian football team that has won all the professional league championships.

League C champion, League B champion and League A champion.

Napoli, who returned to Serie A, was unable to challenge the giants in Serie A. Even in the 2009-10 season, they only scored 7 games, 2 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses. Head coach Donadoni (the one who will coach in the Chinese Super League in the future) and club director Paul Marino were fired by the Germans at the same time, and former Sampdoria's head coach Wat Mariza took office.

New players and new atmosphere. After Wat Mariza coached Napoli, the team quickly got on track and won the 6th place in the league in that season and got the chance to qualify for the Europa League.

There is not much time left before the start of the new season from 2010 to 2011. Watt and his coaching staff are very worried. The boss does trust Watt and gives the team's power to Watt's coaching staff, but the funds they can obtain are also very limited.

Italy's economy has been very bad in recent years. The team's bosses have begun to reduce their spending. Even Inter Milan, the only three-time champion who just won the Serie A, has been desperately selling players to collect funds this summer.

Although the property of Delao is good, it is just good and has not reached the level of a rich man. After Watt spent 17 million euros to introduce Uruguayan scorer Cavani, the funds left are no longer enough, and it is already difficult to introduce first-class players.

500,000 to introduce veteran Sousa from Bayern, and 500,000 to introduce Kribari from Lazio...

There are more players leaving, and 9 players have left in the first team, including the main players of last season, Hoff, Contini and Cuadrado. There are Europa League games in the new season. Judging from the current team configuration, it is difficult to achieve good results in the third line.

Either give up the cup and focus on the league, or focus on the cup and focus on the league.

Napoli hasn't played in the Champions League for many years, and if the team can play in the Champions League, the communication fee is also considerable. Just look at Arsenal in the Premier League. Wenger's team will turn into a magical devil at the end of the season for the top four.

I have had communication with the team's senior management before. Everyone's goal for the new season is to enter the Champions League zone. This is not an easy task. Milan's two-star team, Juventus, Roma, Lazio and other strong teams are eyeing each other.

The team's current midfield is still very empty, or the existing players cannot satisfy Wat. Except for Hamshik, who was introduced in the middle of last season and veteran Brahi, the other players are not considered first-class players.

The South African World Cup has ended and the new season is about to begin. Watt is very upset, worried about his boss' requests, and helpless about his lack of funds.

On that day, Watt was invited by the youth team coach and came to watch their game at home. The opponent was Juventus' youth team. Napoli had not had a top youth training player for a long time. Neither former head coach Dominani nor Watt had paid attention to their youth team. They had not promoted the youth team players for a long time.

During the whole game, the Naples youth team lost 1:2 to Juventus youth team. Watt was shocked just five minutes after the game started. It was not that their youth team played poorly. On the contrary, Watt saw an unimaginable player and he really couldn't imagine how such a player would be unknown in Italy, and even they didn't know it.

"Mitchell, what's your captain's name?"

Watt pointed at the player who was comforting his teammates on the field, and his arm was wearing the youth captain's armband.

“Fly?”

Mitchell originally wanted Water to pay attention to Dumitru. The 19-year-old Italian striker is one of the most famous players in their youth team. He scored a goal today, but Walter did not expect Water to notice Fly.

"Fly? What's going on with him? Let's talk about it."

Watt was very interesting to him.

"Okay," Mitchell shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Fei Gao, from China, everyone calls him his English name Fly. He was born in 1990, 1.8 meters tall and 85 kilograms. He is now just 20 years old. He is a defensive midfielder in the team and is also a player from our youth training. He has already joined the team at the age of 10."

"I have always been diligent and have not said that my defensive ability is very good, but I have not made too many mistakes and have not performed very well. I was already the captain of our youth team three years ago. But he is too old and his contract with us will expire this season. I should not sign the contract at that time."

Do you think his performance is average?

Watt couldn't understand what they were thinking. In the 90 minutes just now, facing the full pressure of Juventus youth team, Fly stood in the midfield and dispatched the offense and defense of the entire team, especially his defense. Didn't you see that the attack of Juventus youth team never passed through Fly's defense zone?

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Moreover, he received the ball quickly and accurately. He can find a suitable teammate every time, which shows that he is well aware of the position of the 22 players in the entire court.

If he is forgotten only because of one thing, Fly does not dribble the ball forward, and he always takes the ball and exits the ball as soon as possible after receiving the ball, it is naturally difficult to attract the attention of fans.

But Watt and the others are different. He is the coach. They should see more things than fans. The head coach of the Juventus youth team intentionally separates Fly from his opponent, and never challenges Fly's defense zone when attacking.

This means that people have already noticed Fly's strength!

Mitchell and the others trained with him all day and never recommended this player to themselves.

20 years old?

There is no big problem. Judging from his performance on the court, the opponent's skills and tactics are already very mature and he can play directly.

"Chinese? Then he doesn't have an EU passport?"

His brows frowned suddenly, and Watt felt a little uncomfortable. The Italian Football Association's foreign aid regulations are very strict, and there can only be one non-EU signing place in a season.

They have used it this season.

"Don't worry about this," Mitchell told him, "Fly has already been Italian nationality and will not occupy the transfer quota."

Mitchell asked in confusion: "You really want Fly? Although he has been training here for almost ten years, we all think it's very ordinary?"

"It's him," said Watt affirmatively, "let him come to the first team with that Dumitru to come to me tomorrow."

***The author has something to say***

During the May Day holiday, I will post a new book. What do you think? If you think you can, just move your little finger and click on the collection and recommendation. Thank you!!

Let me say that it is just because he wants to play in Europe. It is easier for the team to be recognized by the nationality of European countries.
