Volume 1: Males Appear, People Pay Attention Chapter 142: Run, Cassano, Run! (Third Update, Please Vote for Me!)

Chapter 142: Run, Cassano, run! (Third update, please vote for me!)

"Hero! Hero!!" The entire St. Paul Stadium stands were cheering. For the first time, the fans in the West Stand had the upper hand. They overpowered the boos from the extreme fans in the North and South Stands.

Not only because Chen Yingxiong’s goal is so beautiful and wonderful, but also because it is so important.

His goal brought the total score between the two sides to 3:3. When the total score is the same, the away goals will be compared first. While Napoli has two away goals, Barcelona has none. If this score is maintained until the end, Barcelona will be eliminated!

Can Napoli fans not be excited?

Amid huge cheers and excited howls from the commentator, Chen Yingxiong pushed Pi Kui who was on top of him after landing, pushed Pi Kui away, then turned around and ran out.

As he ran, he took off his jersey.

Even if I have to get a yellow card, I must take off my clothes to celebrate this time! Because if I don’t take off my clothes, how can the thing underneath show through?

He rushed to the camera, threw the jersey into the sky, then pulled the hem of the white T-shirt underneath with both hands, flattened the T-shirt, and showed the camera the words written on the front.

He didn't know if Cassano would be able to see it, but he was going to do it.

After the operation, Cassano was pushed back to the ward. Due to the effect of anesthesia, he himself was still in a coma.

Doctors and nurses were busy inserting various electrodes and tubes into him and closely monitoring his physical condition.

His girlfriend Carolina turned on the TV in the ward.

"Um...Carolina, I think what Antonio needs is rest..." the doctor reminded him.

Carolina didn't stop, she turned on the TV, then turned around and explained: "Antonio specially told me to turn on the TV after he finished the operation. He wanted to watch the match between Naples and Barcelona."

"But he is still in a coma..." The doctor was even more surprised.

"He told me, even if the anesthetic has not worn off, I have to do it. Even if he can't see it, he can hear it. Even if he can't hear it, he can feel it in his heart. That's what he said. "Carolina said, switching the channel to Italian Sky TV, which broadcast the Champions League live.

As soon as the TV showed the picture, a huge noise came from the buzzer. This sound even scared the busy nurses and doctors at the scene.

"Hero! Hero! Hero - herogoooooooooooooooool!!!" the Italian commentator shouted excitedly.

"Only eight minutes into the game, Napoli led Barcelona 1:0!!"

This sound made everyone turn to look at the TV.

In Naples, people of all ages and genders are fans of the Naples team. So in fact, these people are also very concerned about the match between Naples and Barcelona, ​​but they can't watch the match live now due to work reasons.

I saw Chen Yingxiong running wildly on the TV screen. As he ran, he took off his jersey and threw it into the air, then jumped in front of the camera, grabbed the hem of the white T-shirt underneath with both hands, tilted his head back, arched his body, and stood like this, letting the camera focus on on his body, not his head.

There are a few words written on it in Italian.

"The vastness of life can only be felt through hardships, and fate will never make you kneel down and beg for mercy. Run forward, keep running, Antonio, run!" (Author's note: These words are taken from "Dream Chaser Heart" by gala band ”, this song was only released in 2011, so it is impossible for Chen Yingxiong to have heard of this song, but everyone just thought that the two of them had a certain understanding of each other, and they both thought of it together. It was purely a coincidence. In addition, I would like to express my gratitude to everyone. I highly recommend this song, it’s really a very nice inspirational song!)

He has maintained this posture without changing. Even when his teammates rushed up and hugged him from behind, he still held the T-shirt with both hands and did not open his arms to maintain balance.

He did this naturally so that the people in front of the TV could see it more clearly.

The camera also understood his thoughts very well, so it kept focusing on the clothes on his chest to show these words very clearly and ensure that everyone could see these words clearly.

"Ah... this is a hero using goals to encourage Cassano, who is suffering from heart disease. It is such a tender scene... 'The vastness of life requires experiencing hardship... to feel that fate will never make you kneel down and beg for mercy. Move forward. Run...keep running...Antonio, run!' Cassano's career is really like what the hero said, full of all kinds of hardships. Before, he always had troubles because of his personality, and he had to play many goals. The team also failed to show its best self to everyone. After finally arriving in Naples, the condition recovered and stabilized, but suddenly suffered a heart attack..."

The Italian commentator also sighed.

In fact, this topic has been discussed before. It is said that Cassano is really ill-fated.

Due to his personality, he went through hardships in the first ten years of his career. After moving from Bari to Roma, he placed the hopes of countless people and was called Italy's genius boy. But I don't know how many seasons have passed. He has always been a "genius boy" in people's eyes, but he has never grown up. I had a good relationship with Totti before and a good relationship with Capello. But later he turned against him and almost offended everyone.

Selected for the Italian national team and participated in the 2004 European Cup. Before the game, he was considered to be the most dazzling and anticipated star of this season's European Cup. In fact, this is the case. He shined in the European Cup group stage. It can even be said that he is the only one in the Italian team who is normal. It's a pity that his efforts failed to help the Italian national team advance to the quarterfinals. His tears at that European Championship were impressive.

His outstanding performance in the European Championship did not change his fate at the club, and then he fell out with Roma's senior management and teammates. In January 2006, he refused to renew his contract and was sold to the giants Real Madrid.

From Roma to the giant Real Madrid, it seems that this should be a step up, and his career should be in a wonderful upward period. But even he admitted afterwards that choosing to move to Real Madrid was the worst choice in his life. In Madrid, not only did he fail to regain his form, but he fell deeper and deeper into the quagmire.

In the end, he was sold to Sampdoria by Real Madrid on a loan-then-sale basis.

He had a wonderful start at Sampdoria, and under the guidance of Mazzarri, he began to return to the top. His performance was outstanding and he was once again selected for the Italian national team. If you are proud on the court, you are also proud in love. He found love in Sampdoria and met Carolina, a player of the Italian women's handball team.

But with Mazzarri's departure, his personality problems recurred, and he became unhappy in Sampdoria.

It was at this time that he chose to follow in the footsteps of his mentor from Sampdoria and move to Naples. On the first day of his transfer to Naples, news broke that he and Chen Yingxiong had a fight during team training, and in the evening it was reported that he had a fight with extreme fans. Starting his career at Napoli with a scandal doesn't seem to be a good sign.

Under such circumstances, he gradually integrated into Naples and became the team's unshakable main force and one of the important offensive players. In addition, after several years of dating, he and Carolina have stabilized their relationship, and they are even discussing when to get married.

Everyone who still cared about him breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the "bad boy" back then had truly matured. Although it was a bit late at this time... But the prodigal son can't change his fortune, as long as he can turn back, that's good.

Who would have thought that at this moment, heart disease would come to him. He may face early retirement.

Antonio Cassano has been considered the most talented genius in Italian football since his debut. Countless people have praised him and been impressed by his talent. But at the same time, countless people were scolding him, thinking that his character would lead to him accomplishing nothing in his life. He is like a beautiful flower. If it blooms, it will shock the world with its beauty. No one doubts this. But it has never really bloomed. Now this flower is about to wither before it blooms. How can it not be sad?

"Yes, the hero is right. Run, Cassano, run! Don't stop, everyone is still waiting for you to come back, 'bad boy'!"

The narrator calls out affectionately at the end.

Carolina in front of the TV was already in tears.

There were many people in the ward, including doctors and nurses, but no one said a word when they saw this scene. They stood in silence for a while, and then the doctor looked back at the nurses: "Keep working."

※ ※ ※

Many people were moved when Chen Yingxiong showed off his clothes. Cassano said in an interview before that Chen Yingxiong was his good friend, and it was his encouragement that kept him from giving up. Seeing this scene now, many people are moved by the friendship between the two of them.

The Naples fans in the stands collectively stood up and applauded this scene, and also applauded the strong Cassano.

Naples players also shouted towards the camera: "Antonio! Antonio! We are waiting for you!!"

They collectively dedicated this goal to Antonio Cassano, who had just completed heart surgery.

But what made the scene worse was that when the Naples players celebrated the goal and ran back, the referee on duty ran up and gave Chen Yingxiong a yellow card.

The scene suddenly burst into boos, and the sound was so loud that one suspected that if the voices of Naples fans could be turned into bullets, the incomprehensible referee would have been riddled with holes...

Even the commentator took issue with the yellow card.

"I think the rules do say that you will get a yellow card if you take off your clothes to celebrate, but we should also look at the specific situation. Can't such a tender scene impress the referee's hard heart?"

"This yellow card is simply a scandal! How could anyone give a yellow card at this time? This is completely like deliberately disgusting Naples!"

"As the referee, Adele from Switzerland is too rigid. A referee who doesn't know how to adapt is definitely not a good referee!"

※ ※ ※

The Naples players went to the referee to argue. They believed that giving Chen Yingxiong a yellow card was too harsh. It was obvious that he did this to dedicate the goal to Cassano and cheer him up. It was such a kind gesture. Could it be that in the eyes of the referee, he is no match for the cold refereeing rules?

The teammates tried to defend Chen Yingxiong, but Chen Yingxiong went up and pulled them back one by one.

"Ignore the referee, guys."

"But, hero, isn't this referee's penalty too harsh?"

"Whatever, we have the advantage now anyway!" Chen Yingxiong shook his head, looking indifferent. He is a forward, so he has very few chances of fouling, and even less likely to get a card. The worst thing he can do is pay attention and stop taking off his clothes to celebrate if he scores a goal in the future. A yellow card has little effect on him. But if his teammates get yellow cards for reasoning for him, the game will be difficult to play because they all shoulder heavy defensive tasks...

Hamsik suddenly said from the side: "I think the hero is right, we should not argue with the referee. Don't you understand? Why can we draw Real Madrid and Barcelona in a row? We The opponent is not the team on the field..."

This sentence woke everyone up, and everyone then remembered that their opponent was indeed not Barcelona, ​​but... UEFA.

So everyone ran back to the half court honestly.

The Naples players were under pressure and did not dare to argue, but the Naples fans in the stands did not care so much. They greeted the referee's family and Platini's family with boos and curses...

Amid huge boos, Barcelona's players took their positions, waiting for kick-off.
