Chapter 72 Naples

If you want to install broadband, there are several operators in Italy to choose from. In the future, fastweb will be the best and fastest network. Of course, the price is also the most expensive. If possible, Zhu Hantao certainly doesn’t mind spending more money to set up the best network.

However, the newly established fastweb has not yet provided fiber-optic broadband to ordinary residences, and it will not be available until a few years later.

Then he could only choose one of the traditional Italian communication operators, TIM or Wind. Zhu Hantao hesitated for a while, and chose TIM.

But I can only go to the store to make an appointment first, and it will take several days to wait for someone to come and install it. The efficiency of Italy's work is so funny, oh no, it is efficient.It's so difficult, I just suddenly want to surf the Internet, post posts to hate people or something, why is it so troublesome.

I have been busy with the computer and surfing the Internet for a long time and have not done it yet. Let alone the next round of Serie A.

Just after a Coppa Italia match on the 19th, the Turin team's next league match will start on the 23rd. Zhu Hantao will follow the team to Naples, the largest city in southern Italy.

Sometimes some translators are really stupid, such as Florence, no matter what Xu Zhimo's personality is, he is very talented in translating the name of this beautiful city into Fei Leng Cui, and he has completely achieved Xinyada.

The Italian pronunciation of Florence is very close to that of Emerald, which sounds beautiful, doesn’t it? Then I don’t know who came up with the idea of ​​transliterating Italian cities with their English names. Naples was translated as Naples, and Emerald became Florence.

Not far away, this game against Naples is also the last game of the Turin team before the winter break, because Christmas is coming soon, the most important holiday in Europe, and Zhu Hantao and the others will also usher in a two-week holiday.

With a population of approximately 380 million people, the Naples metropolitan area is the third largest in Italy and the 15th largest in Europe after Milan and Rome.The Naples area is also one of the most densely populated places in Italy.

Therefore, whether a team can develop has a lot to do with the size of the city where it is located.Those giant teams are often located in the capital or a city with a developed economy and a rich population, and only such cities and fans can support a big team.

It is extremely rare and rare for a team in a small city to be successful, because the fan base determines the economic strength and development space of the team to a certain extent. After all, not every team may suddenly come to a local rich owner and throw money into it regardless of the return. What's more, even if rich people want to buy a team for fun, they usually look for a club with a certain foundation in a big city.

This beautiful seaside city is one of the most famous scenic spots in the Mediterranean Sea. The world-famous Mount Vesuvius is located in the southeast of Naples. It is an active volcano that has erupted many times in history. The most famous one was the large-scale eruption in 79 AD. The scorching volcanic magma spewed out and destroyed the ancient city of Pompeii, which was extremely prosperous at that time.

Now go to visit the ruins of the ancient city of Pompeii, and you can also see very complete ancient Roman street houses.Through the dust, the grand scene of the past seems to be still faintly visible, floating in front of your eyes.

From Turin to Naples, the distance is a bit far, almost from the northernmost point to the southernmost point of Italy. Although the land area of ​​Italy is not too large, the long and narrow shape makes the distance between the north and the south of Italy relatively long, which is also one of the reasons for the opposition between the north and the south.

Naturally, they did not continue to take the bus this time, which would be too much of a waste of time. The whole team took the Alitalia flight chartered by the club and took off from Turin Airport. Zhu Hantao sat on the plane, feeling a little uneasy.

"What's the matter? Is it the first time to fly? Don't worry, it's fine." Corini, who was sitting next to Zhu Hantao, saw that he was a little nervous, and comforted him.

Zhu Hantao didn't have the nerve to say that it wasn't his first time to fly, but he felt that the fact that the entire Torino team was flying together was a bit scary and disturbing.

Fortunately, the direct flight from Turin to Naples only takes one and a half hours. Zhu Hantao breathed a sigh of relief when the plane landed safely.

The atmosphere of seaside cities is different from that of Turin. If there is a chance in the future, I can go to a seaside club to experience the feeling of living in this seaside city, Zhu Hantao thought so.

Since the blue team of Naples landed in Serie A in 1926, they have stayed in Serie A most of the time. Of course, there have been ups and downs, and occasionally they have been relegated to Serie B, but they are still in the middle and upper reaches of Serie A more often.

It is very interesting that in the 1961-1962 season, Naples won the second place in Serie B and promoted to Serie A. At the same time, it also won the Coppa Italia, becoming the first Serie B team to win the Coppa Italia.

The most glorious era is of course Naples during the Maradona period.

Let’s not discuss the great football king Maradona’s off-court affairs, but only look at his performance on the green field. I won’t go into details about his glorious achievements in the Argentine national team. We will only talk about what happened after he came to the Apennine Peninsula.

Naples signed Maradona at a price that broke the world football transfer fee record at the time. In the summer of 1984, they took away the Argentine king from Barcelona for $400 million.

On June 1984, 6, Naples executives announced an agreement with La Liga giants Barcelona to officially sign Maradona. The team's supporters couldn't believe it was true.

In fact, Maradona's performance in Barcelona is quite good. The Argentine has made 58 appearances and scored 38 goals in the La Liga giants, which is not bad.

It's just that due to illness, injury, smoking and other reasons, the performance did not meet expectations, coupled with fighting and some off-court factors, which eventually led to Barcelona's decision to sell Maradona.

On July 7, more than 5 fans flocked to the San Paolo Stadium in Naples to attend the meeting between Maradona and the fans. Everyone who came to the scene will never forget the scene at that time.

The 1984 seasons from 1991 to 7 were the 7 years when Naples had Maradona. They became a force that attracted the attention of the whole of Italy.

2 Serie A titles, 1 Coppa Italia title, 1 Italian Super Cup title and 1 UEFA Cup title, all of which are obviously Maradona's greatest gift to the Naples, and it is also incomparable to the sum of honors in the history of other southern Italian teams.

Some people may not understand that in Italy at that time, in the south where the economy lagged far behind the north, it was a miracle that Naples was able to stand out from the encirclement and beat the three powerful Serie A giants and many other strong teams to win the Serie A championship.

More importantly, Naples is not a giant. Under the premise that the team's overall level is weak compared to the northern giants, it can still win two Serie A championships, largely due to Maradona's super personal ability.

In March 1991, Maradona was found out again, and he was banned for 3 months. In June 15, Maradona, who regained his freedom to play, refused to return to Naples. He chose to join Sevilla, and the most legendary marriage in the history of modern football came to an end.

After the glory, it fell into a trough. On August 2004, 8, the Naples club declared bankruptcy and was ordered to be relegated. The film tycoon De Laurentiis, who was negotiating business in Rome, got the news six days later. The producer quickly made a decision and authorized a private lawyer to start the acquisition plan a week later.

It seems that many teams in Serie A have gone through bankruptcy, and I don’t know how they operate...

Almost a blitzkrieg, "Napoli Football Co., Ltd." was established on August 8, and officially bought the original "Naples Sports and Football Club" on September 26, and successfully caught up with the registration for the first-level league of the year.

In the 2006-2007 season, the Naples club played in Serie B, and finally returned to the next Serie A with the second place.

In 2005, Naples, which was still playing in Serie C, achieved a triple jump. In 07, it finally returned to the first division, and the current state is not bad.

As a newly promoted Naples now has 22 points with the Turin team, ranking tenth due to the disadvantage of goal difference, while the Turin team ranks ninth in the standings.

The next day was the match against Naples. This time, none of the Turin players went out to play at night. Zhu Hantao suspected that maybe it was his teammates who thought there was nothing interesting in Naples.

After all, northerners habitually look down on poor and backward southerners.

Of course, Zhu Hantao didn't know that his teammates were just worried about being recognized by the local fans in the bar, and it would be bad if something happened.

If they fought with these barbaric southerners, the players of the Turin team really might not be able to fight.

Naples' home stadium San Paolo is located in the western suburbs of Naples. It is the third largest football stadium in Italy after San Siro in Milan and the Stadio Olimpico in the capital. It can accommodate [-] spectators.

On the day of the game, they came to the San Paolo Stadium. Before the game started, the Turin players who were warming up before the game felt the "enthusiasm" of the Naples fans erupting like a volcano.

A few years ago, they were still working hard in the low-level leagues, but Naples' attendance rate ranked among the top three in Italy, and the average number of fans in home games can reach 51000!For a stadium that seats more than 6 people, that's quite an achievement.

We can also see the fanaticism and support of the Naples fans.

Zhu Hantao sat on the bench and looked at the more than 4 fans of the home team in the stands. There was nothing to be nervous about. I have played in a stadium as big as the San Siro and scored goals. There is nothing scary here.

That's right, Zhu Hantao didn't make the starting list for this game, and coach Novellino put him on the bench.Before the game, the head coach talked to Zhu Hantao alone in his office.

"Zhu, I will make you a substitute for the next game we are going to play away at Naples. I hope you don't have any thoughts." The head coach was still paying attention to Zhu Hantao's emotions when he spoke.

"Coach, is it because my performance in the last game was not good?" It seems that in the previous interview, he said that he had not been a stable main force in the Turin team for a long time, and this slapped his face.

"No, no, I'm afraid you think too much. You have no problem playing against Roma. It's just bad luck or the opponent's defense is too strong. I hope you can have enough physical strength to attack Naples' defense in the second half."

"Okay, I understand the coach, I will go up in the second half to catch them off guard and hit them with peach blossoms."

Coach Novellino nodded in satisfaction. A sensible player makes people like him. "I was worried about what you would think. I didn't expect you to understand my tactical intention without saying anything." He stood up and patted Zhu Hantao on the back.

"Well, that's it. You can rest assured that it's entirely out of tactical considerations. You will return to the starting lineup in the next game."

"Good coach." Zhu Hantao nodded.

Walking out of the coach's office, Zhu Hantao was still thinking, maybe he is not strong enough, but he is just a substitute for a game, and he just needs to perform well after playing.

As for the few forwards in the team who don't have the ability to score goals, they can still take the main position away from me. Zhu Hantao still has this confidence.
