Chapter 231: Explanation (Third update, please vote for me!)
When Chen Yingxiong found out about this from Martin Skrtel, he knew something was wrong.
He had told Chen Xing not to mention this matter. He was worried that Chen Xing had just acquired Liverpool and his position was unstable and would be difficult to convince the public, so he promoted himself as a gimmick.
Chen Xing was also very aware of the stakes involved, so he patted his chest and promised that the entire process of this matter would be conducted underground and absolutely no information would be revealed to the media.
Why couldn't this matter be disclosed in advance? It wasn't that Chen Yingxiong felt embarrassed about leaving Naples. He never thought about this issue at all and left as soon as he left. A professional player does not need others to tell him how to pursue his goals.
The reason why he did not want to make it public was because he did not want this matter to affect the team's performance in the Champions League and league. He originally planned to wait until after the Champions League final to say goodbye to everyone in the Wembley Stadium dressing room. We have worked together for three years and still have feelings for each other. He did not plan to hide it from them and leave without saying goodbye.
But now, he must say goodbye to his teammates in advance.
In fact, the teammates already know about this matter, because the media in Italy and Naples have begun to report on this matter, but the reports here are still mostly questioning the news, unlike the media in Barcelona and England, which are all sure tone.
Neither the Italian media nor the local media in Naples believe that Chen Yingxiong will go to Liverpool - it is not surprising that Chen Yingxiong would leave them. Even if Naples wins the Champions League this season, for them, Naples is still a small team. Not enough to compete with the wealthy. Even Naples head coach Mazzarri once revealed that he hopes to leave Naples one day and coach at those real giants, so you can't blame the players for wanting to leave Naples.
The key is that Liverpool is so unreliable... If Chen Yingxiong goes to Real Madrid, Chelsea, or even Manchester City, it may be more likely than Liverpool.
However, the news still shocked Naples fans.
During training, fans had already come to the Fort Volturno training base with banners, hoping that Chen Yingxiong would stay in Naples.
The media believes that Naples cannot retain Chen Yingxiong, which is a conclusion based on calm analysis. However, fans are not calm animals by nature. They are emotional, impulsive and unreasonable groups. They don't care about a player pursuing his own goals. Whether their ideals and goals are correct and reasonable, they only know that the team's leading shooter should not leave the team. If he leaves... then he is a traitor!

In the locker room of the Fort Volturno training base, all the first-team players were there. They were all sitting in their respective positions. Chen Yingxiong stood in the center of the locker room, and everyone was looking at him.
"I have to apologize to everyone..." When things got to this point, Chen Yingxiong didn't expect it. He didn't expect that his teammates would hear the news from the media first instead of from his own mouth. He even knew that someone would be unhappy about it, so he opened his mouth to apologize first. He really felt sorry for his teammates about this matter, not because he was leaving, but because he didn't tell them in advance to the media.
"I originally planned to tell everyone the news after the Champions League final. I was worried that speaking out would affect, uh, our preparations..."
"So, hero, are you really going to leave the team?" Hamsik asked.
Chen Yingxiong nodded. He didn't want to deceive anyone on this. "I lost a bet with my friends, so I have to go to Liverpool." He explained the matter simply.
"This... is really ridiculous..." Ma Qiao frowned and said, "You can completely ignore it. Who cares about this bet?"
"But I care." Chen Yingxiong said. "I'm willing to admit defeat. Anyway, I'm going to Liverpool. I'm sorry that I didn't tell everyone right away."
"I think it's normal for you to go to a team like Real Madrid, but Liverpool... How many years have they not won a championship?" Another teammate, Ranocchia, couldn't understand why Chen Yingxiong chose Liverpool.
"I haven't thought about this too much..."
Arshavin interrupted: "If the hero is gone, won't there be a champion?"
He was speaking for Chen Yingxiong and made his position clear. In this matter, he supported Chen Yingxiong. Of course, because he has confidence in Chen Yingxiong, this sentence can be regarded as telling the truth. Anyway, he doesn't have deep feelings for Naples, and he can understand Chen Yingxiong's choice.
"Anyway, I'm sorry about this..." Chen Yingxiong was apologetic to these teammates. Even though he was so hated by the fans at the beginning, his teammates were all good to him - those teammates who were not good to him have long since left, and the remaining relationship is of course good.
Raul, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke: "I asked you why you are so desperate to score goals this season, hero. It turns out you have thought about it a long time ago, right?"
Chen Yingxiong smiled bitterly and recounted the agreement between himself and his boss.
Trade championship for freedom?
Although everyone knew who Chen Yingxiong was, his arrogant ideas still surprised many teammates. At that time, Naples' situation on both fronts was far from clear as it is now.
Cassano laughed, and his laughter sounded harsh among a group of people who were frightened into silence by Chen Yingxiong’s arrogance.
Everyone turned to look at him.
"What's there to say about this?" He curled his lips and said after laughing, "A hero can go wherever he wants. This is a person's freedom. As long as he works hard for the team when he is with us, that's fine. . I think from this point of view, the hero did well."
Someone nodded. Cassano is right. In today's football, it depends on whether a player has professional ethics, not how long he can stay with a team. That has nothing to do with professional ethics. It is only related to loyalty, and loyalty does not mean professionalism. Morality. Work ethic is to see whether he does his best to win and benefit his team when he stays with this team.
Obviously, from this point of view, Chen Yingxiong is blameless.
If Chen Yingxiong doesn’t work hard, even the extreme fans who hate him may not agree...
Ten goals have been scored in six Champions League knockout games. If this is not considered desperate, there is probably no one in the entire universe who is more desperate.
"I wish you good luck, hero. But before you leave, you have to help us win this championship." Cassano said again.
When Chen Yingxiong was about to speak, Hamsik suddenly said again: "It's strange... why did the Barcelona media break this matter?"
Chen Yingxiong was also stunned. Yes, he was just thinking about how to explain it to his teammates. He really didn't think about why this news was broken by the Barcelona media?
Cassano snorted coldly: "Is this surprising? Barcelona is our opponent, and of course they hope to cause us some trouble before the Champions League final."
Paul Cannavaro mused: "If this is really the case, we have to be careful, and we must not let the other party succeed..."
Chen Yingxiong laughed after hearing Cassano's words: "If Barcelona thinks this can influence me, hahaha! I am very happy to have the opportunity to teach them a lesson!"

When he saw the news in the newspaper, Andrea Bosh couldn't believe his eyes - the Bear they liked so much was going to leave the team and go to Liverpool this summer?
A big hand covered his shoulder, and he looked up. It was Skagen Karl, the owner of Daso Bino Pizzeria.
"It was the media in Barcelona that broke the news first, so don't rush to believe it. Maybe it's fake news specifically designed to interfere with us?" he said.
Bosh's eyes lit up and he regained his energy.
Yes, how could I forget this? The initial source of this news was indeed Barcelona's mouthpiece media "Daily Sports". After Naples reached the Champions League final, such news broke. Do you even need to think about what they were thinking?
"That must be a rumor!" Bosh slammed the table and angrily criticized the shamelessness of the Barcelona people.
"Whether it's true or not, wouldn't you just ask the hero?" Karl said beside him.
So Andrea Bosh stood outside the parking lot, waiting for Chen Yingxiong to walk to the parking lot. There were many people like him, standing on both sides of the road, holding Chen Yingxiong's posters or holding banners waiting for Chen Yingxiong. The banner read: "Don't go to Liverpool, stay, hero!"
Bosh looked at these people and suddenly felt strange for some reason.
When they clashed with those extreme fans over a cartoon, not so many people stood up to support them...those people just stood around watching the show and watching the excitement. If Chen Yingxiong hadn't kicked a football over, they might have fought with those football hooligans.
Since when did Chen Yingxiong have such a status in the minds of these fans?
Of course, not all of them are those who want Chen Yingxiong to stay. There is also a group of fans who are standing opposite the fans who want to keep Chen Yingxiong. The two groups are clearly separated by a small road.
They held up various slogans and cartoon posters insulting Chen Yingxiong, demanding that Chen Yingxiong get out of Naples.
These people are all extreme fans of Naples, and they are also the most core, stubborn and die-hard group of extreme fans. They did not continue to score goals because of Chen Yingxiong, and even led the team to surpass the performance in the Champions League during the Maradona era. The results changed the perception of Chen Yingxiong.
They stubbornly stick to their dislike of Chen Yingxiong, because this is their principle - they will never take the initiative to forgive their enemies before they ask for their forgiveness!
The two groups faced each other across the road. There was no direct verbal conflict, but there was still a lot of hostility in their eyes.
Under such circumstances, Chen Yingxiong walked over from the direction of the locker room.
