Volume One: Heroes Appear, People Pay Attention Chapter 181 The Hero’s Substitute (Guaranteed Second Update, Outbreak Preview)
Chapter 181: The Hero’s Substitute (Second Update, Guaranteed, Outbreak Preview)
After reaching an agreement with De Laurentiis, Chen Yingxiong let go of the burden in his heart. What he has to do now is to work hard to express himself on the court and repay the team.
Transfer is a completely normal thing for a professional player. It's so normal that you don't need to think about it anymore.
Chen Yingxiong then called Chen Xing and told him the contents of his conversation with the team owner. He promised that as long as he helped Naples win the championship, he would come to Liverpool.
If Liverpool need to pay a transfer fee at that time, Naples will not make things difficult for Liverpool on price, but he also hopes that Liverpool's offer will not be too low.
"After all, I am also the winner of so many Golden Boots. My worth is too low and I am not worthy of our status..."
Chen Xing was in a good mood, patting his chest and promising that Chen Yingxiong would be given a reasonable price.
If Liverpool can really get Chen Yingxiong, he believes that this will be a very crucial signing for Liverpool. Just like Chen Yingxiong went to Naples and brought qualitative changes to Naples. This is a championship-level player, and his arrival will also make Liverpool even more powerful.
If it weren't for Chen Yingxiong asking him to keep it secret, he would have been eager to announce the news. He has just moved into Liverpool. If he announces this news, he will definitely win more support for himself, and it will also be more conducive for him to start work and secure his position as the boss of Liverpool.

In the eleventh round of the league, Naples played away from home. Chen Yingxiong once again contributed a goal, helping the team defeat Cagliari 1:0 and continue to lead the league standings.
After the game, the media once again cheered for Chen Yingxiong.
Scored in four consecutive rounds and scored six goals in four consecutive rounds. Such offensive firepower is indeed terrifying.
"... UEFA's ban on Chen Yingxiong now seems to have fulfilled his wish. He can focus on exerting his strength in the league and does not need to fight on two fronts. He has already scored ten goals in eleven rounds of the league. Three goals! The average goal rate per game is more than one! What a terrifying firepower!"
"At the end of the eleven league rounds, the second-leading scorer is Eto'o, who scored eight goals. Who is first? There is no suspense, Chen Yingxiong, who scored 13 goals! Leading Eto'o As many as five goals...I think we can announce from now on that the competition for the top scorer of this season is the earliest competition that loses suspense..."
"For other shooters, Chen Yingxiong's existence makes them feel boring and painful. But for fans, especially Naples fans, Chen Yingxiong's existence makes them happy every week. Because he can always Bringing goals and living up to expectations..."
"...Thirteen goals in eleven rounds, can we ask for more? No! He has done well enough! Even if you dare not think of it, there is absolutely nothing he dare not do! Last season he said that he was not only To defend the title of top scorer in the league, he also needs to win three consecutive championships, and now he has done what he said!"
De Laurentiis put the latest "Naples Morning News" aside. Under it, there were already a lot of newspapers stacked up. What they have in common is that they all reported extensively on Chen Yingxiong, who has recently scored crazy goals.
Today, Chen Yingxiong is the best center in Italy - no one has any objection to this. Even if Ibrahimovic is not convinced, he must admit that in terms of scoring goals, the most important basic function of a center, he is really not as good as Chen Yingxiong.
Such an excellent center will leave Naples if he brings a championship to the team. To say you are willing is to lie.
The more De Laurenti looked at it, the more reluctant he was to let this man go. So he simply stopped reading the articles praising Chen Yingxiong.
After that day, there were times when he wondered whether he was right in agreeing to exchange the championship for Chen Yingxiong's freedom.
A few years later, will this decision make me regret it?
After being lost in thought for a while, he picked up the phone.
※ ※ ※
Mazzarri was a little surprised to receive a call from his boss. Because of the club's affairs, especially the team's affairs, De Laurentiis seldom interferes, and fully delegates power to him, allowing him to form and manage the team according to his own ideas. And his reward is victory after victory.
His team has now won four years in a row and has yet to lose so far this season. This is quite an achievement.
But the surprise that his boss would actually call him in person, multiplied ten times, was not as good as the news he later learned from his boss.
"The hero may leave the team next season."
He thought he heard it wrong: "I'm sorry, boss..."
"I mean maybe at the end of this season, maybe at the end of next season, Chen Yingxiong will leave the team."
"That's impossible!" was Mazzarri's only reaction.
Chen Yingxiong has only played in the team for three years, and his achievements are obvious to all. Naples is currently the team that is most suitable for him. It can even be said that - Mazzarri believes that if it were not for Naples, Chen Yingxiong might not be where he is today. results. He does not believe that Chen Yingxiong will abandon this team that is fully suitable for his performance.
"He told me himself."
Then De Laurentiis gave an overview of the matter to Mazzarri. Although it was very brief, the key points were covered. So Mazzarri knew that Chen Yingxiong made a bet with his friend. Now that he lost the bet, he was leaving Naples and switching to Liverpool. And he promised De Laurentiis that he would help Naples win at least one championship. De Laurentiis also promised him that as long as he completed this task, he would let Chen Yingxiong leave the team, and We will never make things difficult for Liverpool on price.
"This... is just for a bet... this, this is so ridiculous!" Mazzarri didn't know how to describe his mood at this time.
"I heard that Luis Figo suddenly transferred from Barcelona to Real Madrid because he privately agreed to the request of the Real Madrid chairman? Compared with the transfer of the Barcelona captain to the arch-rival Real Madrid, I think the hero thing is still acceptable. Guilty..." De Laurentiis said.
When Luis Figo suddenly announced his transfer to Real Madrid, many Barcelona fans, even fans of other teams, and the media were shocked. It stands to reason that Barcelona's captain, Figo, who once shouted "bastard Real Madrid, come here to salute the champion" after scoring a goal, is unlikely to transfer to his archrival. But this happened in full view of the public. Later there were many rumors and bets about the motivations and reasons for Figo's transfer.
However, it is said that the real inside story is that Figo's agent is trying to use the illusion of transferring to Real Madrid to force Barcelona to increase the salary and bonus package of the new contract. His agent even secretly communicated with Florentine, who was running for Real Madrid chairman at the time. Tino Perez reached an agreement, creating signs that he had to transfer to Real Madrid. The two parties actually signed a letter of intent to blackmail Barcelona into agreeing to Figo's requirements. Unexpectedly, the "fake show came true".
In fact, this is a relationship exploited by both parties. Figo used Real Madrid to put pressure on Barcelona. Florentino used Figo to run for Real Madrid chairman. He publicly promised to bring Figo to the Bernabeu if he was successful in the campaign. If he fails to do so, he is willing to spend 500 million pesetas to buy a ticket package for Real Madrid in the new season and give it to all members.
When the two parties initialed the letter of intent, Florentino played a trick. He secretly included a clause that stipulated that Figo would pay Real Madrid $28 million if he reneged. Even after many inflations, this amount of money is still not a small sum, and no player can take it out without frowning.
Therefore this clause leaves Figo without any room for maneuver. In addition, Real Madrid promised to give him an annual salary of 4.49 million US dollars and generously offered him a transfer fee of 56.1 million US dollars. Barcelona was also angry that Figo used Real Madrid to blackmail him and finally gave up. Figo, Figo came to Real Madrid...
No matter how true this inside story is. Figo was able to switch jobs from Barcelona to his arch-rival Real Madrid because of a private agreement. It is not unusual for the football world to have such troubles. It's just that you don't know the inside story of many things yet...
Hearing what the club owner said, Mazzarri was speechless.
Yes, Chen Yingxiong privately asked for a transfer because of a bet, which is really not a ridiculous thing in the football world... It's just that he couldn't accept it for the moment.
"I'm making this call to you just to ask you to pay attention from now on if there are suitable players who may take over the hero in the future. We need a strong center, that's for sure. Naples can't keep him for long... This People have wild hearts."
"Don't pay attention, I do have a ready-made goal..." Now that you have accepted this fact, you have to calmly consider the problem from the perspective of the head coach. In the world of professional football, it is normal for players to transfer and leave. The "King of Camp Nou" like Figo who was flourishing in Barcelona can switch to Real Madrid. The departure of Chen Yingxiong is also normal.
"Huh?"
De Laurentiis was a little surprised by the head coach's straightforward answer.
"In fact, just some time ago, Bigang and I received a sales advertisement from Palermo. They were promoting Edinson Cavani, the current center forward of Palermo. But at that time we We are not interested in him because we have a hero. He is currently the best center in Serie A. Compared with Cavani... so we rejected Palermo. It is said that Palermo not only promoted our family, But judging from the current situation, their sales pitches have not been successful.”
De Laurentiis knows Cavani. His performance in Palermo was pretty good, scoring fifteen goals steadily in the past two seasons.
Fifteen balls seems like a lot? But these fifteen goals are the total number of goals scored in all competitions, including league and cup competitions. Last season he played 34 league games and scored 13 goals, and played three cup games and scored two goals. Last season, he made 35 league appearances and scored 14 goals, and made two cup appearances and scored one goal.
The previous two seasons were his first two years in Serie A, and the statistics were appalling - five goals in thirty-three games, and two goals in seven games.
But it also has something to do with his position.
In Palermo, he was known as the "center forward" but often played as a winger. Of course, Cavani, who is far away from the penalty area and has to frequently return to defense, cannot score too many goals.
It wasn't until "Iron Guard" Amauri moved to Juventus that he became the main center in Palermo. Normally, fifteen goals in a single season is not bad, but from the perspective of Naples people, there is really no way to compare with Chen Yingxiong.
"This summer, Inter Milan was almost able to buy Cavani, but in the end Inter Milan gave up. So now Cavani is still staying in Palermo. It is said that he had a very unhappy life there." Mazzarri told the boss The basic situation is introduced. "He really wants to leave, and Palermo also want to exchange him for some money. So if we want to... it should be easy to get him. He is tall, has good footwork, is a team player and has Talented and young, he is a little immature now, but I think he has great potential."
"Compared to heroes?"
Mazzarri did not expect De Laurentiis to ask such a question.
He was stunned for a moment and then replied helplessly: "Boss, if you want to compete with a hero, you can only find his wife Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo..."
De Laurentiis laughed twice.
"Cavani's ability is not as good as that of a hero, but he is still an excellent center. I think with a little training, he can even reach the level of a wealthy family..."
De Laurentiis was not interested in what Cavani could do. He just said yes and said he understood: "Since you already have this matter for you and Bigang to do, I won't care."
※ ※ ※
After hanging up the phone, Mazzarri still felt that he was dreaming - the team's most popular star was leaving?
I don’t know what kind of reaction the outside world would have if they knew the news...
I'm afraid it will turn upside down, right?
He shook his head. This matter is not his business. He only needs to think about what the team will do if Chen Yingxiong really leaves.
Cavani, Cavani...
If he comes, can he really replace that perverted scoring machine?
