Volume 1: When a Hero Appears, People Pay Attention. Chapter 214: Thirty-Five or Thirty-Eight? (First Update with Guarantee, Outbreak Notice)

Chapter 214 Thirty-five or thirty-eight? (First update with guarantee, outbreak notice)

"In the away game against Palermo, Hero started consecutively. With the competition so intensive and the two-front battle reaching a critical moment, Mazzarri did not dare to use rotations indiscriminately. Players like Chen Yingxiong who can score goals must ensure that He has playing time, because maybe his goal can bring the team a victory...ah? Look at this goal!"

As the commentator was talking, he saw Napoli hoisting the football into the penalty area.

Then Chen Yingxiong jumped high in the crowd, like a chicken standing out from the crowd.

He jumped so high that there was no one around him who could compare with him. It was completely... a glimpse of everything!

When the football came flying, he twisted his waist and shook his head.

The ball flew into the net...

"Beautiful! The ball is scored!!" The commentator immediately shouted loudly.

"Thirty-four goals! The hero scored his thirty-fourth goal of the season! The Serie A single-season scoring record is thirty-five set by AC Milan's famous Swedish striker Nordahl in the 1949-1950 season. Ball! And the hero has now scored thirty-four goals! He is one goal away from this record and two goals away from the new record! And what about the league? With four rounds left, he has every chance to break the old record and create A brand new record is out!”

The commentator screamed at the top of his lungs.

Any qualified Serie A fan knows what Chen Yingxiong's goal means.

In fact, when he scored 32 goals, some media began to speculate when Nordahl's record would be broken by Chen Yingxiong.

But Chen Yingxiong himself doesn't know about this, because...he no longer buys newspapers to pay attention to what the media says about him like he did when he first debuted.

So he had no idea what it meant to score thirty-four goals.

But after the game, he knew.

In the mixed zone, a group of excited reporters stopped Chen Yingxiong and shouted: "Congratulations, hero! You scored the 34th league goal this season!"

Chen Yingxiong was a little surprised. He had scored 33 league goals before, but he had never seen the reporters so excited...

"What's so congratulatory? Haven't I always done this?"

Seeing him so calm, the reporters immediately felt that he was worthy of being a celebrity, so calm and collected!

So I admired him even more in my heart.

"You are about to catch up with Nordahl and set the historical record for Serie A goals in a single season. What do you think?" reporters asked.

Chen Yingxiong was stunned by this question.

"Almost catching up with the historical record of goals scored in a single season in Serie A? Aren't there still four goals?" Although he also feels that the gap of four goals is not very big, but it is not considered "almost catching up". ? Do these reporters have so much confidence in him?

His words stunned the reporters.

"Four more balls?"

They looked at each other, then turned to Chen Yingxiong at the same time and said: "Who did you listen to, Yingxiong?"

"I, uh... I don't remember, but I remember that Nordahl's record should be thirty-eight goals, right?" Chen Yingxiong indeed thinks so, and has always thought so.

It turns out that this is the reason why he is so calm!

A group of reporters suddenly had the urge to cover their foreheads - what do you think this is?

"Ahem." An old reporter coughed a few times, then stood up and explained to Chen Yingxiong: "Actually, hero... the historical goal record in Serie A in a single season is thirty-five goals, not thirty-eight goals. It was created by AC Milan striker Nordahl in the 1949-1950 season..."

Chen Yingxiong grinned and realized that he seemed to have made a big joke in front of so many media...

He muttered: "So that's it? I thought it was thirty-eight balls, so I chased them with all my strength..."

A group of reporters really wanted to pour it to the ground to show Chen Yingxiong... It turned out that the reason Yingxiong never mentioned this was because he felt that he was still far behind the record!

Well, anyway, now Chen Yingxiong finally figured out how many goals the historical record is. Then the interview can continue.

"Okay, hero, now you are only one ball away. What do you think?" The reporter from before repeated his question.

"Well... Well, setting a new record is always a happy thing. I think I will try my best to raise this new record to make it harder for latecomers to chase, hahaha!"

Chen Yingxiong grinned at a group of reporters.

As if it was an illusion, the reporters only felt a cold light flashing from the corner of the hero's mouth.

The next day, the Italian media were discussing Chen Yingxiong's 34th goal. A feeling that the old record was about to be broken spread throughout the Apennine Peninsula. Just like a virgin spreading her legs, waiting for the moment when the membrane is pierced.

Of course, the AC Milan people must be in a bad mood. Because this record belongs to them, to their Nodal.

It has been maintained for sixty-one years, and now it is finally about to change hands.

The whole of Naples is filled with a joyful festive atmosphere, not only the media, but even the fans seem to have endless things to say when they talk about Chen Yingxiong this time.

This is a phenomenon that has never happened before.

Chen Yingxiong has been with this team for three seasons. He has gradually transformed the fans here with his unique charm and constant goals.

The whole city hated him at first, but now at least half of them have been pulled into his camp, and many extreme fans are slowly rebelling.

Now the boos that appear at Naples' home stadium, San Paolo, are getting smaller and smaller, leaving only some very extreme die-hards who are still holding on to their positions.

Even the once-famous slogan "You don't deserve to shine Diego's shoes, you bastard!" is no longer visible.

Many people have quietly changed their stance, but not everyone is embarrassed to admit it.

But Chen Yingxiong is definitely affecting this city. More and more fans have appeared in the stands of the Sao Paulo Stadium and in the streets of Naples wearing jerseys with the names and numbers of their heroes...

This city that was once deeply influenced by Maradona is now also marked by the hero.

While the whole of Italy was discussing that Nordahl's record was about to be broken, there was also a person in England who was very concerned about this matter.

Ferguson has almost become a "hero" these days, because the desk in his office is filled with various newspapers, magazines, game statistics and videos about Chen Yingxiong.

He did not study the other players in Naples. As an opponent who had played against Naples twice in the group stage, he knew enough about the other players in Naples. Only Chen Yingxiong, who was suspended in the group stage, was brand new and unfamiliar to him.

However, it is very simple to know the information about Chen Yingxiong. Due to his arrogant personality, there is a lot of news about him in the media.

Not to mention that his current state is extremely hot.

He is a hot and popular star in Europe, and many wealthy clubs have set their sights on Chen Yingxiong. Some media analysts believe that after the end of this season, no matter what results Naples can achieve, Chen Yingxiong's departure from Naples is already a certainty.

How to deal with such a fierce center?

Ferguson frowned as he considered the question.

He suddenly understood Leonardo somewhat. His team was beaten by the hero with a hat trick at home, which became a stepping stone for the hero to catch up with Messi. This incident made Leonardo suffer some ridicule, thinking that he was not doing a good job as a head coach.

But the more Ferguson studied, the more he felt that Leonardo was really in trouble - for a center with a very good scoring ability, there is really no good way to stop him.

Unless...he himself is in a slump.

This situation has not never happened to Chen Yingxiong. Especially in the first two seasons, he always broke out in a few games, scored a lot of goals, and then stalled for a while. Just like a fountain, it comes and goes.

It is normal for young players to be unstable.

It's just that... Ferguson himself didn't believe that Chen Yingxiong would suddenly be in poor condition before the game against Manchester United. He was not the Ronaldo before the 1998 World Cup finals.

Besides, in the just-concluded 34th round of Serie A, Chen Yingxiong scored his 34th league goal of the season, only one goal away from the historical record of 35 goals set by Nordahl. Now that we are here, do you think Chen Yingxiong may suddenly be in a slump? I'm afraid that he is in good shape now and is just waiting to take advantage of Manchester United to continue his hot streak!

How to deal with heroes?

This problem is really a headache...

※ ※ ※

Ferguson was thinking about how to deal with Chen Yingxiong, while Mazzarri was thinking about how to deal with Manchester United.

Ferguson had a headache, but Mazzarri didn't.

Naples played Manchester United twice in the group stage.

And the results of the two games were not bad. The first time they lost in the away game, they lost 2:3, and the second time they won at home, they won 1:0. If this score is transferred to the upcoming two-leg semi-finals, that is Naples eliminated Manchester United with a total score of 3:3 and two away goals.

In the group stage, it was just a zero point and a three-pointer.

But these two games showed Naples' momentum. Although there was no Chen Yingxiong, Naples performed neither humble nor overbearing when facing the most powerful opponent in the group. Especially when the away team fell behind 0:3 in the first half, Naples chased two goals in the second half and almost equalized the score. Returning to the home court, they defeated Manchester United 1:0, establishing the situation of qualifying for the group.

So in fact, Naples is not afraid of Manchester United, not even in the semifinals.

This is the temperament of Naples. After two consecutive years of training in the high-level competition of the Champions League, Naples is no longer the newly promoted team like the country bumpkins.

They seem to have a hint of "aristocratic temperament"...

Mazzarri's idea is very simple. The first round will be at the San Paolo Stadium, Naples plays at home, and strive to win more games.

The 2:1 win against Inter Milan cannot be repeated again, because we cannot always pin our hopes on Chen Yingxiong's explosive hat trick and the team's sudden state. Now looking back and thinking about it, that game was actually really dangerous. A goal was conceded in the first 25 seconds. If this scene happened again, the final result might not be what it is now...
