On the fifteenth day, it was raining and the temperature was only nine degrees.

For this game, Fiorentina came to Naples one day in advance.

"I hope there will be a good weather tomorrow."

After getting off the plane, Mikhainovic looked at the sky, then dragged his luggage and led the team towards the exit.

They were greeted by more than a dozen reporters and more than twenty local fans. The reporters gave them a spotlight, and the local fans gave them a dazzling banner - without seven consecutive victories, the St. Paul Stadium is the sad place for Purple Lily!

This is to make things worse.

Girardino smiled and said that he had encountered such a scene. Wang Qi pursed his lips and turned his head to talk to Marco Donadal beside him about the topic he had just said.

Mikhanovic asked his assistant to lead the players away, and he went to interview with reporters alone.

A local reporter took the lead in asking: "Why are the media thinking that this is catering to Chinese fans when it comes to adjusting the game time? Do you agree with this view?"

Mikhainovic shrugged and said: "The Italian economy is in a downturn, and the government is looking for China's support. The government has done this. What's the problem with Serie A adjusting the game time?

This just shows that Serie A has seen the value of the king.

I don't think there is anything wrong with this. Also, with the temperatures now, the afternoon game is indeed better than the evening."

A reporter from Florence called Le Truth immediately shifted the topic to the upcoming battle of focus.

"Mikhainovic, what formation will you ship tomorrow?"

Formation can often reflect the team's tactical ideas and the team's wishes. For example, the increase in the number of central defenders means that the team's tactics are defensive counterattacks.

The Serbian thought for a while and said, "We are in this game to win, so our formation is four, three, and three."

Four Three Three?!

The reporters showed surprise expressions. How much the Serbs want to win.

"Is this to tie the club's longest winning streak?"

A reporter from Pravda asked.

"I don't deny this, and no one can reject this temptation. We came to tie the winning streak!"

This is arousing the contempt of local journalists. Damn it, in your eyes, is Naples' current ranking of luck?

A reporter from Milan Sports asked: "How do you arrange three forwards? Wang and Girardino have no injury problems. They will occupy two positions. Who is the other forward candidate?"

In the hearts of reporters, Wang Qi and Dillagino will of course start, so who is the other person?

Wang Qi's position is relatively fixed, with the left winger.

If the other forward is Sefirovic, Dillagino will serve as the center. If it is Adrian Mutu, Gillagino is likely to play the right winger.

To be honest, Girardino is best at the center. In addition to being able to hold on to the opponent's defenders and looking for opportunities to shoot, he has a strong ability to make goals for his teammates.

Mikhainovic thought for a while and said, "Adrian Mutu."

The reporters showed a surprised expression again, and the Milan reporter asked: "Who will appear in the center position of the two of them?"

The Serbian said: "Of course it's Girardino."

Since the center is Girardino, why not send Sefirovic to the starter?

The reporters had more questions, but the Serbs did not give them a chance and said goodbye to them immediately.

...

On the 16th, the rain was still falling and the temperature dropped to seven degrees!

At one o'clock in the afternoon, players from both sides began to warm up on the stadium, and some fans began to enter the court.

The Sao Paulo Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium that can accommodate more than 70,000 fans. In terms of fan capacity, it is second only to the San Siro Stadium and the Rome Olympic Stadium.

The greatest player on this stadium is of course the king of football Maradona, and his portraits and photos are still hung in many places on the stadium.

On June 30, 1984, they took the Argentine football king from Barcelona for a record-breaking transfer at the time of $4 million.

The team's lineup has also been rebuilt, with Herro Ferrara, Bagni and De Naples joining the new team.

Soon the team returned to the top of the Serie A ranking, and the team won the third place in the league in the 1985-86 season, which is a historic achievement.

However, in the subsequent 86-87 season, Napoli's performance went to a higher level. They finally won the Serie A championship with a three-pointer ahead of the second place, and won the Atlanta 4-0 in the final of the Italian Cup.

Although there have been stars like Zov and Sivori in the history of Naples football, the reason why it once occupied an important position in the world football is entirely due to the fact that Maradona is.

The King of Football gave his glorious years to Naples, scoring 115 goals in 259 games. This number does not fully reflect the King of Football's great contribution to Naples football.

Naples was founded in 1926. In 58 years before Maradona arrived, Naples only won two Cups of Italy, once entered the semi-finals of the European Cup Winners, and other records were unremarkable.

In the 982-83 season, Naples almost fell into the second division and relegated with only one point. The following year, the board of directors "suddenly teenage crazy", making Maradona's transfer a reality, and the arrival of the King of Football changed everything.

On June 30, 1984, when Napoli executives announced that they had reached an agreement with Barcelona to transfer $4 million to Maradona, Napoli fans were stunned for a moment!

The Argentinian they remembered was still fighting the pain. In September 1983, the calf was tackled by Athletic Bilbao defender Goyegocheya, but now he has come to his side!

On July 5, 50,000 fans rushed to the Sao Paulo Stadium in Naples and attended the meeting between Maradona and the fans. Everyone who came to the scene could not forget the grand scene at that time.

The seven seasons from 1984 to 1991 were the seven years when Naples owned Maradona. They became a force that attracted Italy's attention, from obscurity to being able to compete with the northern powers.

The third place in Serie A in 1986, won the league championship in 1987, fought with Milan in 1988, and finally ranked second in the league; the UEFA Cup champion in 1989, the league runner-up; the 1990 AFC Milan was so angry that he won the league championship...

All of this was obviously the biggest gift Maradona gave to the Naples.

More importantly, Naples is not a wealthy city, and buying Maradona is a crazy move. The team is unable to build a real giant legion. Under the premise that the team's overall level is weaker than the northern giants, they can win two Serie A championships, which is largely due to Maradona, a super individual.

However, the beginning of the game did not bring good end. In March 1991, Maradona was found to be drug-taking, followed by a 15-month ban.

In June 1992, Maradona, who had regained his freedom to play, refused to return to Naples. He joined Sevilla, and the most legendary cause and effect in modern football history ended.

In 7 years, Maradona has brought Naples two Serie A championships, one Italian Cup, one Italian Super Cup and one UEFA Cup championship, which are incomparable to the sum of honors in the history of other Italian southern teams.

After losing Maradona, Naples have emerged with Zora, Cannavaro, Fonseca, Di Canio, Gianni, and other stars, but they can only manage their own small world and just use Napoli as a springboard to the wealthy.

Like Maradona, leading Napoli to confront the giants head-on, no one can do it anymore. Maradona's style of general who not only attacked the city in the frontcourt and calmly commanded in the midfield has since disappeared from Naples.

No wonder Naples fans want to write a battle song for Maradona, the title of which is: He is much better than Pele.

The charm Maradona himself exudes is not reflected in the urban economic development and personal moral examples, as it is chanted in a poem: His light left foot leaves away from the earth, and when he comes back, he is born with magic and full of vitality.

Maradona conquered fans with his own football skills and brought two league championships to the barren Italian Southern Football team. Maradona won the first championship in 1987 almost by himself. Her second championship in 1990 was the size of Serie A at that time, and Naples had relatively few stars, so it was even more difficult to win the championship.
