Volume One: Heroes Appear, People Pay Attention Chapter 195: Cassano’s Heart Palpitations (Guaranteed First Update, Outbreak Notice!)

Chapter 195: Cassano’s Heart Palpitations (First update with guarantee, outbreak notice!)

Chen Yingxiong practiced free kicks with Juninho only to discover that there were many high-tech gadgets in this copy system, such as the football he used to practice.

There is a large holographic screen next to it. On the screen is a 3D model of a football. When he hits the football, the big screen will show in real time which part of the football Chen Yingxiong hit, and where the red color will be displayed. Mark it out.

Juninho will tell Chen Yingxiong that today’s practice is to kick the lower left part of the football, so he must only kick the lower left part. If he kicks elsewhere, it will be a mistake.

He also has to put on a special pair of sneakers, which are also projected on the big screen, and where Chen Yingxiong touches the ball will also be shown in red.

The force used on the contact area is different from the force on the hit area of ​​the ball, and the shades of color are also different.

Through this training for Chen Yingxiong, the results are clear at a glance. Whether he touches the ball correctly and whether he hits the ball correctly can be known by just looking at the projection on the big screen.

In addition, multiple high-definition cameras were set up to capture his free throws.

The last item of training is to watch the video to analyze whether there are any problems with his kicking movements and what impact these problems may have on his accuracy when touching the ball.

Of course, these tasks are automatically completed by the system. Many wealthy clubs dream of intelligent training systems that require a lot of manpower and money and may not be available. Here, it is as simple as eating a meal.

Now, I only practice kicking the ball every day, which is very boring and tedious. It is much more boring than practicing running without the ball before.

But Chen Yingxiong knew that this was good for him, so he had to endure the boredom.

Naples still lost first place in the league. In the 28th round of the league, they were tied 0:0 at home by Brescia. In this game, Mazzarri implemented a rotation policy. Although he knew that this might cause the team to encounter an unfavorable situation in the league, the team continued to fight on two fronts, and they were all fierce battles. Now the physical factor must be considered.

As Naples was tied by Brescia at home, AC Milan defeated Juventus 1:0 on the road. In the end, AC Milan surpassed Naples by one point in the standings and became first in the league.

The top spot in the league that Naples has maintained since the fourth round of the league is finally gone.

This incident was reported very much by Gazzetta dello Sport, as if AC Milan had already won the league championship.

Others called it "a landmark turning point in the league." Their reasons seem to make sense. AC Milan drew 0:0 away with Tottenham Hotspur in the just-concluded quarter-finals of the Champions League. As a result, they were eliminated by Tottenham Hotspur with a total score of 0:1.

Being eliminated from the Champions League is not a good thing. But they can turn it into a good thing. That is to concentrate on dealing with the domestic league, complete the victory in one battle, and maybe be able to take advantage of this opportunity to take the lead, maintain the leading position, and eventually become the league champion.

And what about Naples? They also have to deal with the Champions League competition, fighting on two fronts, and their bench is not deep, so they will be worn down by continuous high-intensity games.

Can’t you tell who wins and who loses?

Mazzarri also knows that despite the fact that the team has advanced to the quarterfinals in the Champions League, there is actually a hidden crisis. If you are not careful, you may lose everything and collapse. By then there will be no hope for the Champions League, and the domestic leagues will also be glimpsed, but it will really be a waste of water.

At this time, Cassano's comeback is definitely a major benefit.

In fact, Cassano has already reached the level of playing the game. Both the club's team doctor and St. Lucie Hospital have clearly told Mazzarri about this.

But on the one hand, it is out of caution, and on the other hand, considering that several offensive players in the team are currently in good condition, it is not good to win any of them. Mazzarri has excluded Cassano from the lineup. Even if he is occasionally included in the squad, he has not been allowed to play as a substitute.

Now after continuous fighting, Raul has shown obvious fatigue. Coupled with the fact that Cassano was suppressed by him and his fighting spirit was burning brighter and stronger, Mazzarri felt that the time was ripe.

Cassano sat on the bench and was included in the squad again for this game. But he wasn't as excited as he was when he first entered the squad because he didn't know whether he would play in this game.

He just sat on the bench, watching the game on the field, and his ears were filled with shouts from the stands.

This noisy and noisy atmosphere filled his surroundings, and he could feel it even through his pores.

He tried to immerse himself in it, feel the atmosphere of the game, and then see what feedback his heart would give him.

It seemed pretty peaceful and there were no problems.

It must be okay to play in the game, right?

While he was thinking this in his mind, he suddenly heard a voice coming from the side. The voice was effectively blurry at first, because a huge cheer sounded from the stands behind him.

So he only heard a call of "Antonio", but did not hear the next sentence that followed.

He looked up and saw assistant coach Viviani waving at him.

"Go warm up!"

Cassano has experienced this matter of going to warm-up many times, but every time he just returned to the bench after the warm-up, without any intention of letting him play.

So when he heard the news asking him to warm up, he didn't feel excited. He just stood up and ran to the warm-up area on the sidelines. Players from both sides were there to warm up, as were his teammates.

But five minutes later, the situation changed.

Viviani ran over and grabbed Cassano, who was still warming up: "Follow me, Antonio."

"Where are you going?" Cassano didn't react at first, but he understood immediately. He looked around and found that he was the only one following the assistant coach to the coaching bench.

"Am I about to appear?" he asked in disbelief.

Viviani nodded to him: "Yes, Antonio, you are going to appear!"

After Cassano heard this sentence, his heart suddenly beat violently. This feeling of heart palpitations did not make him excited, but... scared.

He was afraid that this was a sign that his heart was in trouble.

Could it be...that my heart is really no longer suitable for the intense sport of football?

Viviani thought that after he said this, Cassano would be very happy and excited. Because everyone knows how much Cassano hopes to return to the court. Isn’t all his efforts this year just for this moment?

Why was he not happy when this moment really came?

Could it be that he is already numb?

Viviani couldn't figure out Cassano's mental state. He just needed to bring the person to Mazzarri anyway.

Mazzarri looked up at Cassano and found that Cassano's face was calm. He is quite satisfied and thinks Cassano is very calm, which is how a mature player should behave.

So he nodded, lowered his head, looked at the tactical board in his hand, and said to Cassano: "Your task is to replace Raul and play the position you are most familiar with. What to do specifically, this shouldn't be necessary. Can I say more, Antonio?”

Cassano nodded.

Somewhat absentmindedly, he was still thinking about his heart.

When Mazzarri saw him nodding, he didn't think much about whether Cassano's silence was abnormal. He patted Cassano on the back and pushed him to the fourth official on the sidelines.

"Go and get ready, Antonio!"

※ ※ ※

"Oh oh oh, what did we see? Antonio Cassano is standing on the sidelines. Next to him is the fourth official. It looks like he is finally going to play!"

Cassano himself was not excited, but the commentator was.

"On March 31, 2010, after playing an away game against Barcelona, ​​Cassano flew back to Naples with the team on a special plane. It is said that the atmosphere on the plane was very joyful and everyone was singing, including Cassano. He was the most active person. But at this time, he suffered a heart attack and fell into a coma. In the past year, he has been fighting with his heart. Now, on the upcoming one-year anniversary, he will have to fight again. Get on the court!”

"Cassano defeated heart disease and defeated fate!"

The commentator tried his best to sensationalize.

The televised close-ups seemed to be glued to Cassano's face.

But unfortunately, Cassano's face was calm, and he even frowned slightly.

He was still worried about his heart.

At this time Raul ran down the court and came to Cassano. The two hugged each other and Raul patted him on the back to show encouragement.

Then Cassano ran onto the field.

Those Naples fans who followed the team to the away game stood up from their seats and applauded the heroic and unyielding Cassano.

On the court, his teammates were looking at him with smiles and waiting for him.

Chen Yingxiong took two steps, extended his hand to Cassano, and winked at him.

Cassano ran over to give him a high-five, and when he saw his friend welcoming him, he had a smile on his face.

But the smile soon disappeared because he felt that his heart was beating too fast... He was worried that this would overload his heart, like a string that was stretched too tight and then banged. ,disconnect.

Chen Yingxiong was the only one who noticed that Cassano's expression was not right. He grabbed Cassano who was about to continue running to his position: "What's wrong with you?"

Cassano touched his heart: "Here... it beats very fast, very fast..."

But Chen Yingxiong grinned: "Hey, what did I think it was! That means you are too nervous and excited, that's normal!" After he finished speaking, he saw that Cassano's expression did not return to normal, so he added: "You are Are you worried about whether your heart can support your body?"

Cassano nodded.

Chen Yingxiong snapped his fingers: "Do you remember Alibaba Gu Dounong III?"

Cassano nodded.

"Mortals are about to reach the end, but are you giving up your beliefs?" Chen Yingxiong imitated the tone of Alibaba Gu Dounong III and pointed at Cassano's heart.
