Chapter 180: Heroes return to heroes, Naples returns to Naples (first update guaranteed)

In the weekend league match, Naples defeated Parma 2-0 at home. Chen Yingxiong scored two goals and took all the goals in the game.

The two goals brought his tally to twelve this season.

After the victory in this game, he welcomed the club owner Aurelio De Laurentiis.

This is really a "easy meal" because Cabrera prepared the food...

However, Chen Yingxiong's original purpose was not to eat anymore.

He came to tell De Laurentiis the truth.

When the meal was almost done, he told the whole story.

"Some time ago, a few months ago...a friend of mine told me that he wanted to buy Liverpool..."

De Laurentiis was stunned for a moment: "Is the Chinese owner of Liverpool your friend?"

Chen Yingxiong nodded and continued. "I thought he was joking at the time, so I made a bet with him, saying that if he successfully acquired Liverpool, I would go to Liverpool to play football..."

The expression on De Laurentiis's face changed again—more surprise than before.

"Now, I intend to fulfill that promise."

After he finished speaking, he remained silent.

Finally speaking out what was in his heart, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt relaxed.

Then he looked at De Laurentiis with some anxiety, not knowing what the other person's reaction would be.

De Laurentiis reacted. He put the napkin on the table, shook his head and smiled: "I'm surprised."

"Uh, I'm sorry..."

"But what surprises me is not that you want to leave, but that you would tell me so frankly..." De Laurentiis smiled even wider.

"Let me think about it, generally speaking, if a player is going to leave the team he is playing for, and he is sure that his team will not let him go so easily, what will he do? He may choose to give up. Strike out training, or refuse to renew his contract with the team, forcing the team to either sell him in advance, or wait until his contract expires and send him away without getting a penny. But I don’t think many people will do it so early. It’s time to say to your boss, ‘Hey, I’m leaving.’ Should I call you stupid, hero?”

Chen Yingxiong scratched his head: "I think we have a good relationship, right? So I told you..."

Hearing what Chen Yingxiong said, De Laurentiis burst into laughter.

"As much as I was interested in you in the first place, you're an interesting guy, hero."

"You are also very interesting. I think you were furious when you heard the news. Then you slammed the table, pointed at your nose and told me there was no way to leave!"

De Laurentiis continued to laugh.

After he finished laughing, he continued: "I would like to do this, but I want to know why. Is it just because of a promise? A bet? Anyway, I don't believe it."

He looked at Chen Yingxiong with a smile.

However, Chen Yingxiong knew that this was a problem that could not be ignored.

He thought about it for a moment and then said: "Uh... Actually, if I said that I wanted to leave this team not long after joining this team, would you be very angry?"

"Is it because of the fans?" De Laurentiis's expression was not surprised.

"Yes."

De Laurentiis nodded: "It is understandable that anyone who has been booed by the home fans indiscriminately for most of the season will have that kind of thought."

In fact, during that period, there were many rumors that Chen Yingxiong would leave Naples during the winter break or after the season, because everyone could see that Chen Yingxiong was not happy in Naples, and Naples fans did not welcome it at all. he.

If he doesn't leave, there will be a problem.

"But you stayed anyway," De Laurentiis said.

"Although I wanted to leave Naples, I never thought about leaving at that time. Because I will not leave with the image of a loser and my tail between my legs. If I want to leave, I must leave after achieving success. ." Chen Yingxiong put his true thoughts in front of De Laurentiis, which he had never mentioned to anyone else. Even Dracula didn't know these thoughts.

"So do you feel that after this season, you are a successful person?"

"I hope to bring at least one championship to Naples this season. That would be a winner."

Chen Yingxiong said this very normally, as if it were a matter of course. It's as if he has really won at least one championship.

"If every word of our conversation today is leaked, I believe it will become a gimmick that will cause the media to speculate wildly." De Laurentiis shook his head and laughed. "You said that if you win at least one championship, you can win it?"

"Always try it."

Hearing Chen Yingxiong's answer, the boss of Naples was stunned for a moment, and then he rang. In his manor located halfway up Mount Vesuvius, on a sunny afternoon, he and Chen Yingxiong strolled along the tree-lined paths and gardens. , he talked to him about the past glory of Naples and the present that is addicted to its past glory.

Speaking of this incident at the time, he once said, "Good memories are like drugs. Everyone knows that it is not a good thing, but they can't quit. After so many years, no one can make Naples quit. Awakening from the sweet dreams of the past.”

What did the young man in front of me say?

"I want to try something so challenging."

As a result, in the second season after that, Napoli surpassed the results of the Maradona era in the Champions League. For a while, the media shouted: "This is a Naples team that can make people forget the Maradona era!"

Although not everyone may agree with this sentence, such voices have begun to appear after all. It is no longer the time when Chen Yingxiong said "Naples should forget Maradona" and caused uproar in the city.

In fact, to put it bluntly, the reason why Naples still misses the Maradona era is because the history of this team is pale. Apart from the Maradona era, they have nothing to be proud of and no memories worth keeping in their hearts forever.

In fact, many teams have rich ancestors, Verona even won the Serie A championship, but why didn't Verona become a giant? Nottingham Forest has also won one English League One championship and two European Champions Cups. Why is it still not a giant and now it is struggling in the third tier of English leagues? Because the giants have won more than once - Real Madrid has won the Champions League five times in a row and has dominated Spanish football for a long time; Barcelona has a dream team and a dream team, and has always been the mortal enemy of Real Madrid; Manchester United was a strong team before the Munich air disaster. After the Munich air disaster, there were Busby's children, and the 1992 generation, with the glory of the Triple Crown in 1999, and Ferguson's 25 years; what about Liverpool? From the Shankly era to the Paisley era, and then to the miraculous comeback to win the trophy in 2005; although Arsenal has never won the Champions League, it has established its status as a giant as early as the Chapman era; Inter Milan has great achievements Reis's international era and the era of the German Troika, as well as today's renewed glory; AC Milan has the Swedish Three Musketeers and the Dutch Three Musketeers, and has won the European Champions Cup many times in the past two decades; Juventus It is the team with the most fans in Italy. It is obviously not created out of thin air. It is inseparable from their championship trophies one after another...

These giants have been brilliant more than once, but Naples only had the short-lived Maradona era. Before Maradona, they were unknown grassroots. After Maradona, they went bankrupt.

If Naples has glories again and again, even though it has experienced decline, those past glories can always bring strength to this team, which is a characteristic that distinguishes a team from other ordinary teams. Victory is not everything in football, but victory can bring confidence and temperament. Over time, accumulated over time, and after years of tempering, it eventually becomes the cornerstone of a wealthy club.

Naples lacks such a cornerstone, a solitary one in the Maradona era, which Naples fans have talked about over and over again. They are constantly promoting the glory of the "Maradona Era", and at the same time they are hiding their inner inferiority.

But if they have the Maradona era, there will be more such eras, and they will be a force that can never be ignored in Italian football. Who dares to say that they are not a wealthy family?

A wealthy club has accumulated one victory after another and one championship trophy after another.

To put it more mysteriously, what is "rich family background" and "aristocratic temperament"? So many teams in Spain have royal titles, and they are all awarded by the Spanish royal family. Think of Real Sociedad, Real Mallorca, Real Oviedo... But why is Real Madrid the only one recognized by everyone as a giant? Of course it's because Real Madrid has won 31 league titles, 17 Copa del Rey titles and nine European Champions Cups...

What is missing in Naples today? They have a football market that is the envy of the whole of Italy - as Serie A becomes increasingly depressed, even the San Siro stadium has seen large areas of empty stands, but Naples' home court is always full - they have the healthiest situation in Serie A financial situation, what else is missing? What a result!

It would be better if there is a champion. One championship, two championships, three championships...more championships.

As these championships gradually accumulate, isn't it just the framework of a wealthy family?

So the best way for Naples fans to get rid of their past glory is to create new glory.

The word "try" actually represents a certain sense of affirmation for Chen Yingxiong. He didn't just plan to "try" it, he was serious about doing it.

"What if it can't be done?" De Laurentiis asked.

"Then I'll wait until I can do it before leaving Naples." Chen Yingxiong said without hesitation, as if the answer had already been in his heart.

De Laurentiis smiled: "You are like this, I really don't know whether I should expect Naples to win the championship or not, hero." He paused and suddenly asked: "Naples really can't always have you?"

"I'm only twenty-two, old man."

After hearing Chen Yingxiong's typical answer, De Laurentiis was silent for a while.

Just when Chen Yingxiong thought he was definitely going to refuse, he nodded: "Okay, at least for one championship, I will let you go, hero. You can pursue your own future, and Naples also needs to start a new journey. We owe no one anything."

Chen Yingxiong breathed a sigh of relief - it is much harder to convince someone with words, especially a boss with a perverse temper like De Laurentiis, than to complete his senior year on the court. For him, bringing back a championship trophy to Naples is actually very simple. Keep scoring goals, keep winning, and just keep winning like this. It's so unskilled!

"It's easy. Don't regret it when the time comes! How about we hook up?"

"Do you think I am a three-year-old?"

"Hahaha!"
