Volume 1: When a Hero Appears, People Pay Attention. Chapter 253: The Turtle with a Shrunken Head (First Update, Please Vote for Me)

Chapter 253: Shrinking Turtle (First update, asking for monthly votes)

It is now five o'clock in the afternoon, less than three hours before the evening game. The players are coming down from their rooms one after another and waiting to get on the bus in the lobby. While waiting for the bus, small groups of people were either chatting or scrolling through Twitter. Marchisio’s voice attracted attention, and everyone looked at him.

Some enthusiastic teammates quickly asked: "What's wrong? Claudio?"

Marchisio pointed at the phone screen and angrily said to his teammates: "That bitch Chen Yingxiong actually called us a coward!"

After everyone heard Marchisio's words, they were stunned for a moment, and then broke out collectively.

"Damn it! How dare he say that about us!"

"You're right, Claudio, that man is indeed a bitch!"

"Isn't it too much to start a war of words like this?"

"Damn it, I must show him how good he is in the game!"

“I can’t wait for the games to start, damn it!”

"Sure enough, I don't like him for a reason. This person doesn't know how to respect his opponents at all! Such a person is not worthy of becoming a professional player!"

Everyone was filled with indignation and denounced Chen Yingxiong angrily.

Conte had just come out of the elevator when he heard the commotion in the lobby. He felt strange and asked the assistant coach Angelo Alessio next to him: "What's going on?"

Alessio walked out of the elevator with Conte, and he didn't know either: "I'll ask them."

He walked forward, grabbed a player who looked normal, asked him about it, and then came back with a frown.

"They saw Chen Yingxiong attacking Juventus again on the Internet, so they got a little emotional..."

"Chen Yingxiong? What did he say again?"

Conte felt a headache when he mentioned this name. A guy who doesn’t make anyone worry on and off the court...

"He said, well, he said we were a bunch of turtles..."

Conti's heart tightened.

He suddenly understood the performance of the players. When he heard this sentence, he was very unhappy, let alone those young and energetic players.

But he can understand what these players are doing, but he cannot allow them to do it.

In fact, when Chen Yingxiong provoked Juventus for the first time, Conte was worried that the team would be angered by him, so he specifically talked to captain Chiellini and asked him to appease the players and not let them be provoked by Chen Yingxiong. The impact is obvious, this is a psychological warfare, the purpose is to anger Juventus, make them lose their calmness and the most basic judgment, be blinded by anger during the game, and perform abnormally...

In fact, when talking to Chiellini, Conte had already discovered that Chiellini, the captain of the team, was already showing signs of anger.

Fortunately, Chiellini is the captain and can control his emotions. He suppressed his anger and agreed to his request, and then came forward to make that statement to reporters on behalf of Juventus.

Conte originally thought that was the end of the matter.

Who would have thought that Chen Yingxiong is really a bitch! Seeing that Juventus was not fooled, they followed up with more provocations.

He even said that Juventus is a coward!

This kind of naked personal attack has already escaped the scope of psychological warfare, right?

"Do you want me to call Gio?" assistant coach Alessio asked Conte. Gio is captain Chiellini, his full name is Giorgio Chiellini, and his nickname is Gio.

Conte looked at the situation in front of him and shook his head: "Forget it, Angelo."

In this situation, calling the captain is useless. Even if the captain is the calmest person in the team, he can't change the minds of all the players on the team, not to mention that Chiellini is also very unhappy now...

What Conte is thinking about now is how to guide the players' anger correctly so that they burn towards the enemy instead of burning themselves.

There is not much time left for him. The whole team will get on the bus soon. After going to the stadium to warm up, it will be the game.

He only had time to address the players before the game.

Martin Ao also saw Chen Yingxiong's second wave of attacks on the Internet. He didn't think it was too much. On the contrary, he was very happy. Because he felt that it would be difficult for Juventus not to be angry.

Their mentality will fluctuate, and that is Liverpool's opportunity.

After Martin O'Neal was overjoyed, he discovered that he had begun to rely on psychological warfare. He didn't like this method very much before. He felt that football should be an open and honest contest between the two sides on the court.

Who would have thought...

From the initial firm opposition to Chen Yingxiong's intervention in the war of words between clubs, to later indifference, and now to supporting Chen Yingxiong in his heart...

He didn't have much time to lament his changes here, he had to seize the time to lay out his strategy. If Juventus really lost their minds, what would they do? What will happen if Juventus really keeps calm?

He has to consider these things.

※ ※ ※

Chen Yingxiong ended the interview long ago and returned to the team. He didn't think too much about the impact his words would have on the game and himself. Anyway, just score goals in the game and help the team win.

He didn't check Twitter at this time, he was playing games on his phone.

So he didn't know what kind of uproar his words had caused on the Internet.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't care...

Juventus fans have already started contacting and organizing through the Internet. This is a temporary operation and cannot be planned too carefully. However, it is still okay to call on everyone to boo Chen Yingxiong, scold him, and give him the middle finger when he is holding the ball.

But...don’t Juventus fans understand? This approach has almost zero attack power against Chen Yingxiong...

※ ※ ※

When the Juventus players began to board the bus, their resentment against Chen Yingxiong had not dissipated. Many people were still scrolling on Twitter to see the latest developments regarding Chen Yingxiong's remarks.

Some people even directly used their own accounts on Twitter to publish counterattacks against Chen Yingxiong.

"Is Juventus holding back? He will have a chance to see it soon!"

"I will tell him on the court who is the loser!!"

When Conte saw this scene, he felt that now was not the time to suppress the players' emotions, but to guide them to vent their anger. Otherwise, if they kept holding it back, something would go wrong.

※ ※ ※

During the warm-up, the Juventus players were very enthusiastic. Some of them kept staring at Chen Yingxiong. Their eyes were enough to kill Chen Yingxiong ten thousand times... Even a thousand cuts would not kill Juventus. Players grudge.

In fact, even if Chen Yingxiong didn't say these words this time, the Juventus players would not have a good look at him. Because Chen Yingxiong had a bad relationship with Juventus when he was playing for Naples. At that time, every time the two teams faced each other, it was like a war.

Speaking of which, Chen Yingxiong indeed seems to be a born Naples player. His first Serie A goal in Naples was scored against Juventus. You must know that his condition was not very good at the time. Due to head coach Rhea's tactics and his own condition, he was unable to score goals. At that time, he was suffering from controversy and criticism. As a result, he suddenly scored a goal in the game against Juventus, which made Juventus so angry that they vomited blood.

In his last Serie A game before leaving Naples, Chen Yingxiong's opponent happened to be Juventus.

Chen Yingxiong scored twice in that game, setting a record for the most goals in a single season in Serie A history. Juventus sadly served as a backdrop.

So both sides have always had a grudge. And this kind of hatred does not need to be publicized, everyone knows it, it is as common as eating and breathing.

Juventus and Naples have no feud, so it’s time to make a big deal about it, because that’s big news!

There were new banners hastily made by Juventus fans against Chen Yingxiong in the stands - those before were all regular banners against Chen Yingxiong.

The new one keeps pace with the times and adds the current hot keyword "shrinking turtle".

A turtle was drawn on the cardboard held up by a Juventus fan, but the turtle's head was replaced by Chen Yingxiong's head. Even if you don’t write anything, everyone will know what you are talking about.

Some fans held up slogans and scolded Chen Yingxiong: "You are the coward, and your whole family is a coward!"

"If you don't shrink your head, you are a **!"

There were also Juventus fans near the Liverpool warm-up area who kept shouting: "Hero! Hero! You are a big turtle! Big turtle!"

"You have a big ass and you have the nerve to tell others?!"

"Get back in your shell and lick your own balls!!"

Chen Yingxiong turned a blind eye to this, as if he didn't hear the shouts of the fans at all.

But in fact, he heard everything clearly...

While doing shooting warm-up exercises, Chen Yingxiong fired a furious shot, and the football roared towards the goal...next to...

Then it hit the billboard behind the bottom line hard.

There was a loud bang, and the voices in the stands suddenly became much quieter.

The Juventus fans were startled, but they quickly returned to normal and continued to mock and insult Chen Yingxiong.

Chen Yingxiong's second shot went directly over the crossbar and hit the Juventus fans in the stands...

On the third kick, Chen Yingxiong still missed the target, and this time it hit the billboard with a loud noise. There was a moment of silence in the stands before even louder boos and curses erupted.

"You still want to beat us in this state? Just dream! Haha!"

The Juventus fans in the stands laughed at Chen Yingxiong.

Three consecutive shots, none of which missed the goal frame. This obviously doesn’t feel like shooting!

If Chen Yingxiong is like this in the game, they can breathe a sigh of relief.

It wasn't just the fans who took notice.

And those professionals.

Both reporters and coaches from both sides noticed that Chen Yingxiong missed all three consecutive shots.

"It seems that the hero is not in good condition for shooting today?"

"He wanted to exert too much force, but in the end he lost his accuracy..."

Reporters were buzzing in the press box.

Martin O'Neill frowned slightly - he was not worried that Chen Yingxiong was out of shape, he just didn't know what Chen Yingxiong wanted to do...

Juventus head coach Conte was expressionless on the surface, but he was relieved on the inside. If Chen Yingxiong was really out of shape, this game would be much easier to play.

The Juventus players also noticed the situation on Chen Yingxiong's side, with sarcastic smiles on their faces.

He screamed fiercely before the game, but it turned out that he was just a piece of trash!

Liverpool's goalkeeper Reina is responsible for guarding the goal. Just now, Chen Yingxiong shot three shots in a row, but he didn't make a single save. The ball was either too high or too wide. In his mind, such a situation rarely occurs.

He looked at Chen Yingxiong with some confusion.

Chen Yingxiong turned around and ran away, no longer practicing shooting.
