Volume 1: When Heroes Come and Go, People Pay Attention Chapter 151: A Forward Who Doesn’t Want to Be the Top Scorer Is Not a Good Forward (Second Update, Guaranteed)

Chapter 151: A forward who doesn’t want to be the top scorer is not a good forward (Second update, guaranteed)

With the last round of the league left, Chen Yingxiong is temporarily the top scorer with 28 goals, and Di Natale is second with 27 goals.

It's the last round, and the gap between the two sides is still one goal. Although the competition for the league's top scorer this season is not as exciting as last season, it is still very suspenseful and intense.

There is one round left in the league, and it is entirely possible for Di Natale to achieve a reversal in the last round and unseat Chen Yingxiong.

Since Chen Yingxiong did it last season, why can't Di Natale do it?

And what about Chen Yingxiong? He will hopefully become the first shooter to win the Golden Boot in Serie A sixteen years later.

The last time someone could defend the title of top scorer in the league dates back to the 1993-94 season 16 years ago. At that time, the striker Signori, who was playing for Lazio, scored 23 goals and successfully defended the title of top scorer. An honor. Last season he won the Serie A Golden Boot with 26 goals.

Since then, many people have become the top scorers in Serie A. Many of them are world-class shooters, such as Crespo, Trezeguet, Del Piero, Bierhoff, and Batistu. Tower... But these people can't even win the Golden Boot twice, let alone defend the Golden Boot.

So far, only "Ukrainian Nuclear Warhead" Shevchenko has won the honor of top scorer twice, in the 1999-00 season and the 03-04 season.

But he also failed to win the top scorer award two consecutive years. This shows how fierce the Italian league's defense is... There are many world-class shooters, but they have not even been able to win a golden boot in the Italian Football League. Such as Ronaldo.

So if Chen Yingxiong can achieve this goal, this alone will be enough for him to engrav his name in the history of Serie A.

"Ever since this kid appeared in professional football, it seems that he came here just to break records and create history..." "Corriere dello Sport" sighed after analyzing the competition for the top scorer this season.

The shooter battle between Chen Yingxiong and Di Natale is also one of the most concerning topics in the final period of the league.

Therefore, after training, Chen Yingxiong is always surrounded by many media reporters who want to talk about his thoughts on the league's top scorer.

"I like this honor very much. As a forward, this is a reward for myself." Chen Yingxiong said very straightforwardly. This may not be very flattering most of the time, but at this time, reporters liked what he said.

Because if he didn’t say that, how could there be any topic to hype?

Those who always speak tactfully and are good at hiding their true thoughts are unlikely to cause any topics. Only a person like Chen Yingxiong who speaks freely can make the media excited, because there are many gimmicks that can only be fermented by his big mouth.

"I don't believe there is a striker in the world who doesn't like to be the top scorer. Di Natale is a great opponent, but I will not give up my Golden Boot to him, nor will I share this honor with him." Chen Yingxiong said into the microphone.

"You only won the top scorer last season. Will this award lose its appeal to you?" a reporter asked.

Chen Yingxiong looked at the other party with a strange look in his eyes and said, "Do you think it's too much money?"

"Uh..." The reporter was left speechless by the rhetorical question, while other reporters around him laughed heartlessly.

"Hero, if you can win the top scorer this season, you will be the first player to do this in sixteen years. What do you think?" Another reporter came up and asked.

"Is it true that no one has done it in sixteen years?" Chen Yingxiong had heard similar remarks before, but he had not confirmed it.

The reporters nodded.

Seeing everyone nodding, Chen Yingxiong whistled: "Oh! How cool! I'm very happy to be the first person in sixteen consecutive years! So how many years did it take for someone to win the top scorer for three consecutive seasons? of?"

A group of reporters looked at each other, everyone was surprised. Because Chen Yingxiong doesn't even know if he can keep the top scorer this season, how can he think of what will happen next season?

"No one has done it?" Chen Yingxiong asked when he saw that no one answered the question.

He really started to think about this issue very seriously - this season's league top scorer has been directly assigned to his name. So he began to think, wouldn't it be better to be the top scorer in Serie A for three consecutive seasons...?

"Well... twenty-five years ago, Platini did it... won the top scorer for three consecutive seasons." Someone finally answered.

Chen Yingxiong was stunned for a moment after hearing the name. He never expected that he would hear this name. Platini, the man who made him very unhappy and who also made the other party very unhappy, had such brilliant achievements before.

He smiled.

In this way, he seems to have more reasons to win the top scorer next season. How can Platini be allowed to be more beautiful than before?

He nodded to the reporters: "Thank you. Let's do this, first be the first person in sixteen years, and then be the first person in twenty-five years."

Almost all Italian media were talking about it the next day.

"Naples center Chen Yingxiong has booked the Golden Boot this season in advance!"

"...Last season, Inter Milan head coach Mourinho booked the league championship in advance. This season, it is Chen Yingxiong who booked the Golden Boot in advance..."

"The hero said he has already started thinking about next season's top scorer..."

"The above is what the hero said when he was interviewed by us on the sidelines... This is really a typical hero style, yes, he is always so arrogant and arrogant. Remember what he said at the Serie A Oscars? It turns out, He is really not joking... Although he is arrogant, he has the qualifications to be arrogant..."

"Antonio, training is over."

"Captain, why aren't you leaving yet?"

The teammates are greeting the figure on the training ground who is still trying to shoot footballs towards the goal.

At Udinese's Pastum training base, the sun was setting, and everyone's shadows were stretched very long, extending to the slopes.

"You go ahead, I have to practice more!" Di Natale waved to his teammates, and then continued to turn around and play football.

A group of teammates looked at each other.

In fact, Di Natale doesn't often give himself extra training. Tomorrow the team will go to Rome to play an away game. Under such circumstances, everyone will choose to maintain their physical strength and energy, let alone extra training.

But why did the captain uncharacteristically give himself extra training today?

Everyone knows it.

Just yesterday Chen Yingxiong disclosed his ambition for the top scorer.

Di Natale is not a big-name shooter or star player, so there won't be so many media interviewing him. But he won't admit defeat either.

He certainly doesn't want to give up the honor of top scorer just like that.

The hero said it right: As a forward, who doesn't like to be the top scorer?

He, Antonio Di Natale, has never been famous in his life, and his annual salary is not equal to the monthly salary of those superstars, but he still has a big dream in his heart. That is... to be the top scorer in Serie A!

This season is the closest he has come to this honor, and he will not give up no matter what.

During today's training, everyone was fighting for him. They thought Chen Yingxiong was too arrogant. Di Natale didn't say anything. He thought it was normal, because Chen Yingxiong's performance was what a real shooter should do. He felt the same as himself, so he naturally felt that Chen Yingxiong's performance was normal.

Don't want to lose the league's top scorer, what do you rely on? In addition to determination, of course you also need to have enough strength.

He is a forward, he can only try his best to hone his shooting skills, and practicing shooting is the only way.

So today, the whole team left, and he had to stay alone to practice shooting.

Everyone understands the captain's thoughts and hopes that the captain can win the top scorer.

The captain has been at Udinese for six seasons since joining from Empoli. He is considered a veteran of the team. For a club that makes a living by cultivating new players and then selling them off, it is not easy for Di Natale to stay in this team for six seasons.

His prestige in the team is top-notch now.

This season, the captain is in great condition and has great hope of winning the league's top scorer, but he happens to meet Chen Yingxiong... Last season, Chen Yingxiong won the top scorer. Everyone thought he was just a rookie, and his opponents couldn't get enough of him. learn. In this second season, he will definitely hit his "rookie wall". Who would have thought that such a situation has never happened to Chen Yingxiong. He still scores one goal after another, ranking in the top scorer list with Dinata. Rai launched a fierce competition.

Until the last round of the league, there was still no winner...

The team's backup goalkeeper Berardi suddenly turned and walked towards the court.

Other teammates were surprised: "What are you going to do, Emmanuel?"

Berardi didn't answer and walked straight onto the court, all the way to the goal where Di Natale was practicing shooting. He clapped his hands and faced the captain who was about to shoot and said: "Practice shooting, of course. There’s going to be a goalkeeper!”

Only then did the surprised teammates react.

Di Natale was surprised and then delighted, then readjusted the football and prepared to shoot.

But when he looked up, he saw another person in front of him, the team's substitute defender Ferronetti!

"It takes extra defensive practice to be effective, captain." Ferronetti said to Di Natale with a smile.

"Not only that, you need someone to pass the ball to you," forward Flores said.

"Of course a defender can't do it, count me in." Pasquale also occupied the opposite side of Di Natale and stood with Ferronetti.

"At this time, you need me to make room for you, captain."

"I'll be responsible for the defense on the wing."

"Then I'll pass the ball from the wing, haha!"

I don’t know since when, those teammates who have not left have stood by Di Natale’s side.

Di Natale looked at his teammates.

He was not moved to tears, he just nodded to them: "Good guys, we don't have much time, let's get started now!"
