Chapter 67: Twisted (Third update, please vote for me!)
Chen Yingxiong knocked Thiago Silva away. This was a foul. Milan's commentator believed that another yellow card should be given because this foul was very bad. Why is it bad? Because he knocked Thiago Silva away sideways!
But the referee didn't say anything. He called Chen Yingxiong a foul just because Chen Yingxiong hit someone. As for how far he hit someone, how much force he used... these things are not his business.
AC Milan's commentator was very dissatisfied, but it seemed that the Naples fans in the stands were very satisfied.
After this foul, there were not many boos dissatisfied with Chen Yingxiong, but more cheers.
"Well done, hero!"
"Hero! Hero! It's a giant bear!"
There were many such cries.
In addition to those extreme fans, more and more Naples fans have gradually become supporters of Chen Yingxiong.
Naples was lagging behind at home and AC Milan was at its peak, but Chen Yingxiong used a foul to make Naples fans feel excited and see hope.
That is an action and spirit that is most in line with the temperament of Naples, and something that Naples fans have been talking about since the Maradona era. But as the Maradona era passed, this spirit gradually moved away from the team.
That is - never bow your head when facing a strong enemy. Regardless of the outcome of this game, at least you can't lose with momentum!
These fans suddenly discovered that the spirit that once made them feel proud, excited and regarded as a totem actually appeared in a guy who once made them hate and disgusted and thought he was not worthy of Naples...
He has never expressed respect for Naples' past history. He did not kiss the team's emblem excitedly at the ceremony of joining Naples, saying that he has been a big fan of Maradona since he was a child... Not only did he not express his feelings for this team, He even sparked outrage by saying Maradona should go to a museum to show any respect from the team.
But it was such a person, and the spirit of Naples during Maradona's era appeared in him alone.
This is really a great irony for those Napoli fans who once madly booed him, cursed him, and opposed him.
Chen Yingxiong never seemed to realize the complicated feelings that what he showed brought to Naples fans. He was just sticking to his own principles and going his own way. Only this time, he fits the temperament of Naples, and most of the time, what he does is unpleasant...

Leonardo stood off the court and watched the changes taking place on the court - in fact, he did not need to watch the game on the court, he only needed to listen to the sounds from the stands to feel the changes. The Napoli fans, who had been somewhat silent before, became active again. Their singing and shouting were louder than before, while the boos were even harsher...
These southerners are still having fun!
And what caused all this was the big man's foul.
Leonardo couldn't imagine why a foul would make Naples fans so happy. It was not a goal. It could even be said that they missed a scoring opportunity because of this foul.
This is simply a senseless foul, completely unnecessary!
Yes, absolutely not necessary! If I were his manager, I would definitely criticize his approach and style of play at halftime.
Football should be a sport full of beauty and wisdom, not a violent collision of flesh and body.
Although Chen Yingxiong was the top scorer in Serie A last season, the only advantage he took was that everyone didn't know him well enough. Look at his performance this season... Such a player only relies on his body and unreasonable playing style. , will not develop much, as long as it suffers a serious injury, it will not work.

Mazzarri had previously slapped his hands hard on the sidelines and shouted loudly to remind the players to cheer up.
But now he doesn't do that, because the players have cheered up and the atmosphere has become feverish again.
And all of this is due to Chen Yingxiong. He is not the captain, but sometimes his actions and words can have an effect that even the captain cannot match.
Mazzarri walked back to the coaching bench and sat down. Now he doesn't care whether he can equalize the score before the end of the first half, at least he can take a breath temporarily.

The Naples team regained their fighting spirit amidst the cheers of the home fans. Their offensive also overwhelmed AC Milan. In the following time, the AC Milan team chose to defend at Nesta's request.
Facts have proved that Nesta is right, because Naples' offensive is like a sudden tide. Although it has become stronger and more violent, if they had not been prepared in advance, their goal would have been breached. Now because AC Milan recovered their defense early, they held on to the score.
At the end of the first half, AC Milan entered the halftime break with a 1:0 advantage in the away game.
After a desperate counterattack, Naples still fell short and could only accept the reality of lagging behind.
The halftime break is very valuable for both teams.
Thiago Silva always feels that when his teammates look at him, there is a faint smile in their eyes. "Hey, Alexander, is it funny?" He grabbed his compatriot Pato.
Pato was confused by his question, his face full of confusion: "What's so funny?"
"Uh...nothing." Silva quickly let go of Pato.
But he still felt like everyone was laughing at him.
Why do you feel this way? Because in the confrontation with Chen Yingxiong, he was directly knocked away... For a central defender, this is really embarrassing!
Yes, when he came back to his senses, he blushed at his performance. A central defender needs to engage in physical confrontation at all times. If a central defender is not good at physical confrontation, and his body is thin, it will make people look ridiculous - so what kind of central defender do you want to be?
A central defender who can be knocked several meters away by a forward is simply a shame...
No wonder Thiago Silva feels embarrassed and feels that others are laughing at him.
But at the same time, he was very unconvinced, because it was clearly a foul, and even if he was knocked away, he should not be laughed at... Moreover, he thought that he was defenseless in the air, and the opponent obviously did it on purpose, so Under this situation, it is normal for him to be knocked away.
He wanted to defend himself, but no one said anything about it, and it was impossible for him to suddenly run and tell his teammates that it was an accident that he was knocked away - he was not that stupid.
So he could only keep his unhappiness in his heart. This felt really bad!
He is now waiting for the start of the second half to find a chance to get this face back...
Come on over during the intermission!
He murmured to himself that he didn't care what the manager had to say at halftime.

No one in AC Milan laughed at the fact that Thiago Silva was knocked away by Chen Yingxiong, but in the Naples locker room, there was joyful laughter.
"Hero, you didn't see it. When you hit him, it was like he was in a car accident... and he flew out with a bang!"
"That scene... was really spectacular!"
"Huh? I really didn't see it. I felt someone was blocking me next to me, and then I..." Chen Yingxiong scratched his head.
"You can watch the TV news tomorrow. I think this scene should be included in the highlights of this game, right?"
"I have to go! AC Milan's central defender was directly knocked away. This scene is not often seen!"
A group of people laughed heartlessly.
They were originally lagging behind, but they didn't feel any frustration because of this incident. The atmosphere in the locker room was quite relaxed during the halftime break. Perhaps everyone saw hope and gained confidence.
Mazzarri looked at the group of players at the door with a smile on his face.
He had previously thought about how to use the halftime break to make everyone work harder in the second half. Such as expressing sympathy for the team's lagging behind in the first half, praising their performance, telling them to maintain such momentum... etc., it seems that they are no longer necessary now.
But there is something I still have to say.
Mazzarri walked into the locker room, and everyone gradually became quiet and looked at their head coach.
"I'm glad you didn't feel restless because you were lagging behind. You should continue to maintain this mentality in the second half and act like heroes and show them how awesome you are!"

Until they walked out of the locker room, no one mentioned the fact that Thiago Silva was knocked out by Chen Yingxiong. This can be understood as the protection of his teammates, but the more this happens, the more awkward Thiago Silva feels.
When Leonardo was chattering, he couldn't help but wanted to stand up several times and said: "You can laugh if you want! But I will make that kid suffer in the second half! I will prove myself , yes, I will prove myself!”
Just when he was about to hold it in no longer, his partner Nesta stopped him in the player tunnel.
“Don’t take that matter to heart.” Nesta said to Thiago Silva as a senior.
Silva was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Nesta said. But Nesta's words did not make him feel relieved, or his so-called relief was just another sense of self-competition - it seemed that his teammates were indeed thinking about this matter, so he had to Worked harder and beat the other team thoroughly in the second half.
He nodded. Nothing was said.
Nesta thought that Silva listened to her words and stopped talking about this topic. He could see that Silva was very concerned about this matter and was a little embarrassed. It might not be easy for others to say, but as his partner in the central defender position and his senior, he should relieve his partner at this time. A little psychological burden to prevent him from playing under huge pressure and performing abnormally on the court - the central defender position is very important, and a slight mistake may lead to a big mistake.
Of course he didn't know that his central defender partner was even more twisted...
