Chapter 67: Twisted (third update, please give me a monthly vote!)

Chen Yingxiong knocked Thiago Silva away. This was a foul. Milan's commentator thought that another yellow card should be given because the foul was very bad. Why was it very bad? Because he knocked Thiago Silva away sideways!

But the referee had no expression. He called Chen Yingxiong a foul because Chen Yingxiong hit someone. As for how far he ran and how much power he used... these things were not up to him.

The AC Milan commentator was very dissatisfied, but the Naples fans in the stands were very satisfied.

After this foul, there were not many boos being dissatisfied with Chen Yingxiong, but more were cheering.

"Beautiful job, hero!"

"Hero! Hero! It's a giant bear!"

There are many such shouts.

In addition to those extreme fans, more and more Naples fans have gradually become supporters of Chen Yingxiong.

While Napoli was behind at home and AC Milan was in full swing, Chen Yingxiong used a foul to cheer up Napoli fans and see hope.

It was an act and spirit that best suited the temperament of Naples. It has been talked about by Naples fans since the Maradona era. But as the Maradona era faded, this spirit gradually moved away from the team.

That is - never bow your head when facing a strong enemy, and don’t care about the result of this game for the time being, at least you can’t lose!

These fans suddenly discovered that the spirit that once made them proud and excited to be regarded as a totem actually appeared on a guy who once made them hate and disgusted and thought he was not worthy of Naples...

He never expressed his respect for the past history of Naples. He did not excitedly kiss the team logo at the ceremony to join Naples, saying that he was a brainless fan of Maradona since he was a child... Not only did he not express any respect for this team, he even said that Maradona should stay in the museum, which aroused public anger.

But it was such a person that the spirit of Naples in the Maradona era appeared alone.

This is a great irony for those Naples fans who once booed him, cursed him, and opposed him.

Chen Yingxiong never seemed to realize what he showed, and what he brought to the fans of Naples. He was just sticking to his principles and doing his own things. But this time, he was in line with Naples' temperament, and most of the time, he did not like it...

Leonardo stood off the court and watched the changes on the court - in fact, he didn't need to watch the game on the court, he just needed to listen to the sound from the stands to feel the change. The fans of Naples who were still silent before began to become active again, their singing and shouting louder than before, and the booing was even more harsh...

These sanctuaries are still excited!

And what caused all this was the big man's foul.

Leonardo could not imagine why a foul would make Napoli fans so happy. It was not a goal. It could even be said that because of this foul, they missed a chance to score.

This is simply a meaningless foul, and it is completely unnecessary!

Yes, it's totally unnecessary! If I were his head coach, I would definitely criticize him for his approach and playing style during the break.

Football should be a sport full of beauty and wisdom, and it is by no means a violent collision between the flesh.

Although Chen Yingxiong won the Serie A top scorer last season, the advantage he took is nothing more than that everyone doesn’t know him well enough. Let’s take a look at his performance this season... Such a player will not make much progress by relying on his unreasonable physical skills. As long as he has suffered a serious injury, it will not work.

Mazarri had slapped hard on the sidelines before and shouted loudly to remind the players to cheer up.

But now he doesn't do that, because the players have already cheered up and the atmosphere on the scene has become more fanatical again.

All of this is the credit of Chen Yingxiong. He is not the captain, but sometimes his actions and words can play a role that even the captain cannot match.

Mazarri walked back to the coaching seat and sat down. Now he could equalize the score before the end of the first half, at least he could take a break for a while.

The entire Naples team regained their fighting spirit amid the cheers of home fans, and their offensive also surpassed AC Milan. In the following time, the entire AC Milan team chose to defend at the request of Nesta.

Facts proved that Nesta was correct, because Naples' offensive was like a sudden tide, although it became stronger and more fierce, if they hadn't prepared early, they would have been afraid that their goal would have been broken. Now, because AC Milan recovered its defense in advance, they defended the score.

At the end of the first half, AC Milan entered the halftime break with a 1-0 advantage on the road.

After a desperate counterattack, Naples still failed and could only accept the reality of being backward.

The halftime break is very valuable for both teams.

Thiago Silva always felt that his teammates were smiling in their eyes when they looked at him. "Hey, Alexander, is it funny?" He grabbed his compatriot Pato.

Pato was confused by his question and looked confused: "What's funny?"

"Uh... nothing." Silva quickly let go of Pato.

But he still felt that everyone was laughing at him.

Why does he feel this way? Because he was directly knocked out in the confrontation with Chen Yingxiong... For a central defender, this is really embarrassing!

Yes, when he comes to his senses, he blushed at his performance. A central defender needs to fight physically at all times. A central defender has poor physical ability and weak body will make people laugh when he says it - what kind of central defender do you do?

It is a shame to be able to be knocked out by a forward and fly several meters away by a central defender...

No wonder Thiago Silva feels embarrassed and feels that others are laughing at him.

But at the same time, he was very dissatisfied because it was obviously a foul. Even if he was knocked away, he should not be ridiculed... and he thought that because he was unprepared in the air, the other party obviously did it on purpose, so it was normal for him to be knocked away while the other was falling.

He wanted to defend himself, but no one said this, and he could not have suddenly ran to tell his teammates that he was knocked away by accident - he was not so stupid yet.

So he could only hold his annoyance in his heart. This felt really bad!

He is waiting for the second half to start now to find an opportunity to get back this face...

Come on the halftime break!

He murmured in his heart that he didn't care what the head coach was going to say during the halftime break.

No one in AC Milan joked about Thiago Silva being knocked away by Chen Yingxiong, but in the locker room in Naples, he burst into laughter.

"Hero, you didn't see it. When you bumped into it, the kid was like a car accident... and flew out with a bang!"

"That scene...is really spectacular!"

"Ah? I really didn't see it. I just felt that someone was blocking me next to me, and then I..." Chen Yingxiong scratched his head.

"You can watch TV news tomorrow. I think this scene will be the highlight of this game, right?"

"It must be on! AC Milan's central defender was knocked away directly, and this scene is not often seen!"

A group of people burst into laughter with no conscience.

They were originally behind, but they did not feel any frustrated because of this matter. The atmosphere in the locker room during the intermission was quite relaxed. Perhaps everyone saw hope and gained confidence.

Mazarri looked at the group of players at the door, with a smile on her face.

How did he want to use the halftime break to make everyone work harder in the second half? For example, expressing sympathy for the team's backwardness in the first half, praising their performance, telling them to maintain such momentum... and so on, it seems that it is not necessary now.

But there is a saying that needs to be said.

Mazarri walked into the locker room, and everyone gradually calmed down and looked at their head coach.

"I'm glad you didn't feel anxious because of falling behind. Everyone should continue to maintain this mentality in the second half, like heroes, give them some excellence!"

※ ※ ※

Until they walked out of the locker room, no one mentioned that Thiago Silva was knocked away by Chen Yingxiong. This can be understood as the protection of his teammates, but the more this happens, the more awkward Thiago Silva feels.

While Leonardo was chattering, he couldn't help but want to stand up and say, "If you want to laugh, just laugh! But I will let that kid suffer in the second half! I will prove myself, yes, I will prove myself!"

Just when he was about to hold it in, his partner Nesta called him in the player passage.

"Don't take that thing to heart," Nesta said to Thiago Silva as a senior.

Silva was stunned for a moment, then understood what Nesta said. But Nesta's words did not make him feel relieved, or his so-called relief was just a self-competition in another sense - it seems that his teammates are indeed thinking about this, so they must work harder and completely defeat the opponent in the second half.

He nodded and said nothing.

Nesta thought Silva had listened to his words and stopped talking about this topic. He saw that Silva was very concerned about this matter and was a little embarrassed. Others might not be easy to say, but as his partner in the central defender position and his senior, he should reduce his psychological burden for his partner at this time, so as not to appear on the court with huge pressure and perform abnormally on the court. The central defender position is very important, and a slight mistake may lead to a big mistake.

Of course he didn't know that his central defender partner was even more distorted...
