Chapter 506 Heroes belong to heroes, Naples belong to Naples (first update with guarantee)
In the weekend league, Naples defeated Parma 2-0 at home, and Chen Yingxiong scored two goals alone, taking all the goals of the game.

Those two goals brought his tally to twelve this season.

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

It's really a "pot meal" because it's all made by Cabrera...  

But Chen Yingxiong's original goal was not to eat anymore.

He had come to tell De Laurentiis the truth.

He didn't tell the whole story until the light meal was almost finished.

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

De Laurentiis froze for a moment: "The Chinese owner of Liverpool is your friend?"

Chen Yingxiong nodded, and then continued. "At that time, I thought he was joking, so I bet him that if he successfully bought Liverpool, I would go to Liverpool to play..."

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

"Now, I intend to fulfill that promise."

After he finished speaking, he fell silent.

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

Then he looked at De Laurentiis with some anxiety, not knowing how the other party would react.

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

"Uh, sorry..."

"But what surprised me was not that you wanted to leave, but that you would tell me about it so frankly..." De Laurentiis smiled even more.

"Let me think about it. Generally speaking, if a player is going to leave the team he plays for, what does he do when he is sure that his team will not let him go so easily? He may choose to let go. Training strikes, or refusing to renew the contract with the team, forcing the team to either sell him early, or wait for his contract to expire, and send him away without a penny. But I don’t think few people will be so early Just say to your boss: 'Hey, I'm leaving.' Am I supposed to 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 laughed out loud.

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

"You are also very interesting. I think you should be furious when you hear the news. Then you slapped the table, pointed at your nose and told me if you want to leave!"

De Laurentiis continued to laugh.

After laughing, he continued: "I want to do it, 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.

Chen Yingxiong knew that this was a problem that could not be perfunctory.

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

"Because of those fans?" De Laurentiis didn't look surprised.

"Yes."

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

In fact, during that time, there were many rumors about Chen Yingxiong leaving Naples after the winter break or the end of the season, because everyone could see that Chen Yingxiong was not happy in Naples, and the Naples fans did not welcome him at all. he.

If he doesn't leave, there is a problem.

"But you stayed," said De Laurentiis.

"Although I wanted to leave Naples very much, I never thought of leaving at that time. Because I will not leave as a loser with 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 never told other people, even Dracula didn't know his thoughts.

"So do you think after this season is over, are you a successful player?"

"I hope to bring at least one championship to Naples this season, and that will be the winner."

What Chen Yingxiong said was very ordinary, as if it was a matter of course.It was as if he had really won at least one championship.

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

"Always try."

Hearing Chen Yingxiong's answer, the boss in Naples was stunned for a moment, and then he rang. In his manor located on the hillside of Mount Vesuvius, he and Chen Yingxiong strolled in the tree-lined paths and gardens on a sunny afternoon. In the book, he told him about the past glory of Naples and the present obsessed with the past glory.

Speaking of this matter at the time, he once said that "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 the whole Napoli Waking up from the sweet dreams of the past."

What did the young man in front of him say?

"Such a challenging thing, I want to try."

It turned out that 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 enough Naples to make people forget the Maradona era!"

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

In fact, to put it bluntly, why Naples still miss the Maradona era is because the history of this team is pale. Except for the Maradona era, they have nothing to be proud of, and there are no memories worth keeping in their hearts forever.

In fact, the ancestors of many teams have been rich, and Verona has won the Serie A championship, but why didn't Verona become a giant?Nottingham Forest has also won the League One Championship once and two European Champions Cups. Why is it still not a giant, but now it is struggling in the third tier of England?Because the giants have not only been rich once-Real Madrid has won the Champions League five consecutive times and has long dominated Spanish football; Barcelona has a dream team and a dream team, and has always been Real Madrid's sworn enemy; After the Munich air crash, there were Busby's children, the 25 generation, the glory of the Triple Crown in 2005, and Ferguson's 20 years; what about Liverpool?From the Shankly era to the Paisley era, and then to the miraculous reversal in [-] to win the trophy; although Arsenal has never won the Champions League, they have established their status as a giant as early as the Chapman era; Reis’s era of great internationals and the era of the German troika, and today’s re-glory; AC Milan has the Swedish Three Musketeers, as well as the Dutch Three Musketeers, and has won the European Champions Cup many times in the past [-] years; Juventus is The team with the most fans in Italy is obviously not created out of thin air, and has an inseparable relationship with 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, and after Maradona they went bankrupt.

If Naples also has glory time and time again, despite the sinking, those past glory can always bring strength to this team, which is the 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, after years of honing, it finally became the cornerstone of the giants.

Naples lacks such a cornerstone, a lonely Maradona era, which is repeated by the Naples fans themselves.They are constantly promoting the glory of the "Maradona era", and at the same time hiding their inner inferiority complex.

But if they have the Maradona era, there are more such eras, which is a force that can never be ignored in Italian football.Who dares to say that they are not wealthy?
The giants are one victory after another, one championship trophy after another piled up.

To put it bluntly, what are they called "wealthy background" and "noble temperament".So many teams in Spain have royal titles, all awarded by the Spanish royal family. What about Real Sociedad, Real Mallorca, Real Oviedo... But why is Real Madrid the only recognized giant?Of course it's because Real Madrid won 31 league titles, [-] Copa del Rey titles and nine European Cups...

What is missing in Naples today?They have a football market that is the envy of the whole of Italy—now that Serie A is getting more and more sluggish, even the San Siro Stadium has a large area of ​​empty stands, but Naples’ home stadium is always full—they have the healthiest in the entire Serie A financial situation, what is missing?Achievements!
If there is a champion, even better.One champion, two champions, three champions... more champions.

These champions have gradually accumulated, isn't it just the frame of a wealthy family?
So the best way for Naples fans to get rid of their former glory is to create a new glory.

For Chen Yingxiong, the word "try" actually represented affirmation in a certain sense.He didn't just intend to "try", he was serious about doing it.

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

"Then I will 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 to expect Naples to win the championship or not to win the championship, hero." He paused and asked suddenly: "Naples really can't have you all the time?"

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

Hearing Chen's typical heroic answer, De Laurentiis was silent for a while.

Just when Chen Yingxiong thought he was going to refuse, he nodded: "Well, at least one champion, I will let you go, hero. You can pursue your own future, and Naples also needs to start a new journey. We owe nobody any more."

Chen Yingxiong let out a sigh of relief—convincing a person with words, especially a boss with a bad temper like De Laurentiis, is much more difficult than completing his senior year on the court.For him, bringing back a championship trophy for Naples is actually very simple, keep scoring goals, keep winning, just keep winning like this, it's too unskillful!

"It's simple, don't regret it when the time comes! How about we pull the hook?"

"What do you think of me as a three-year-old child?"

"Hahaha!"
