Chapter 12 The Europa League where wealthy teams gather
Time is not enough for Watto to think about it, and the UEFA Cup will start after the second round of the league.
The League Cup this season is very interesting, and many traditional European giants and new local tycoons have come to the League Cup.
Manchester City in the Premier League, Liverpool, Sevilla in La Liga, Atletico Madrid, Paris in Ligue 1, Dortmund in the Bundesliga, Eindhoven in the Netherlands, and Juventus in Serie A.
These teams rushed to the UEFA Cup, adding a lot of attention to this ancient European event.
Needless to say, Manchester City and Paris, the two oil tyrants, who are squandering money, have made everyone in European football threatened. I don’t know when their top cards will be seduced by the tyrants to leave the team.
It’s really not that they are worried about it. At this time, the myth of one person and one city has been rarely seen, especially for those top players, few players can resist the charm of money.
The career of athletes is very short. Apart from honor, they are money, and no one can remain indifferent to huge interests.
Needless to say, the two teams in La Liga are not weak teams, and they are often frequent visitors to the Champions League.
Not to mention the teams of Liverpool, Dortmund and Juventus, they are all famous and strong teams in European football. Although they came to the Europa League for a while, they are all at the level of the devil compared to other Europa League teams.
Naples met Liverpool, Bucharest Red Stars and Udrecht when they drew lots.
Among these three teams, of course, the most famous one is Liverpool. All the honors of the three teams of Naples are not enough for Liverpool.
However, Liverpool's strength may not be as strong as before, but that is what we should compare with. As for Naples and Udrecht, Liverpool is still a strong team.
On September 17, in the first leg of the Europa League group stage, Naples' home match against Utrecht will be held at the Sao Paulo Stadium.
Naples has a home advantage and a certain advantage. In the last two league games, Udrecht, who is in the Eredivisie, has lost two league games in a row at the beginning of the game. It is not in good shape recently!
Although Napoli has not won the last two league games, they are still unbeaten.
Watt made a big substitution in this Europa League. Except for Cavani and Ravic on the forward line, goalkeeper and captain Cannavaro Jr., everyone else sat on the bench. From this arrangement, Watt either gave up this game or underestimated others.
Udrecht, who came from afar, put his posture very low. He adopted a defensive strategy from the first minute of the game. The two teams contributed a very boring and ugly game to the few fans on the scene.
Naples played at home, and they had not played in the European League for a long time. Even in the middle of the week, their opponents were still unfamous teams like Udrecht, and more than 20,000 fans came to the court to cheer for their team.
Unfortunately, in this game, Watt chose the wrong tactics from the beginning. It was obvious that the opponent had already set up an iron barrel formation. If Naples didn't take the offensive approach, how could he defeat the opponent and get the final victory?
Gao Fei, who was sitting on the bench, felt more anxious and had no eyes to see him.
The game was broken, and the players often fell to the ground and couldn't get over, intermittently.
In the 45th minute of the first half, the referee took out 6 yellow cards, 3 for the visiting team and 3 for the home team.
The fans of Naples who watched the game on the spot were very unhappy. Their team could obviously play better, but the head coach showed them such a dull game. I'm sorry for their tickets today!
It was not until the 80th minute of the game that Gao Fei made a substitute, but there was not much time left for him, and Udrecht on the opposite side had already defended for almost a full game. In the last 10 minutes, they naturally would not relax at all.
There is not much time left, and even if Gao Fei wants to have other ideas, he cannot take action. Time does not allow it, and the players do not have the desire to score goals. This is a very terrifying thing.
When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, Gao Fei stood at the Sao Paulo Stadium with his hands on his hips, and was reluctant to return to the locker room for a long time.
Gao Fei understood the head coach's meaning. They are going to compete in the top four of the league this season, but he is not satisfied with the team's clear-cut approach.
Napoli should not talk about the Champions League. They haven't played in the Europa League for a long time. To be honest, in Gao Fei's opinion, no one knows whether they can rank in the top four this season, but being able to play in the Europa League with other league teams is a good experience for them.
Napoli's overall strength, let alone winning the Europa League championship, is difficult to reach the semi-finals. However, if you don't even dare to play in the Europa League team, in fact, those teams are stronger and Napoli may win smaller.
It's better to fight in the European Union.
"Fly, what's wrong? Haven't you gone back to the locker room to change your clothes?"
Assistant coach Anthony came to Gao Fei, almost all the players on the field were gone, and the fans were also leaving the court.
"You said that so many fans bought tickets to watch our game, but we played such a game. I'm sorry for the fans who support us."
Gao Fei was in a low mood. Since he had the system, he knew that he was different from others. However, in the past month, he had played three games in this game, but he could not change the status quo of fans with his own abilities. After three games, he did not win a single victory. Gao Fei regretted that he did not have the ability to bring victory to the team.
With plug-ins and without plug-ins, what does it look like? I still can’t win.
"You thought of it," Anthony comforted him, "a victory in a football game is never a matter of one person. Only dozens of people in the whole team can drive the ball and win the team."
Anthony felt that Gao Fei was carrying the pressure that shouldn't be him, which was not good.
"Fly, you have to be clear that the head coach's requirement in this game is to win with stability. Without 100% chance, it is acceptable for us to get a draw. As for victory, as long as we don't lose, there will always be one."
"Go back and change your clothes. We played well in this game today and it's acceptable."
Anthony patted Gao Fei on the shoulder and pushed Gao Fei off the court.
In another game in the same group, Liverpool beat Bucharest Red Stars 4-0 at home and won the top spot in the group. It is normal. In their group, Liverpool is the strongest. Even if they have lost in recent years and have changed their head coach this season, their foundation is still there.
