Chapter 289 Inverted Hook x Inverted Hook (Second Guaranteed Update, Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

Becoming a legend starts with scoring goals.

AC Milan has tied the score. As the home team, they should certainly try to score again and strive to take the lead once more.

Having the score tied frustrated Mazzarri greatly. Now all his halftime arrangements were null and void.

Defense?

Can defense score goals?

Attack—!

Chen Hero loved this.

For him, perhaps AC Milan tying the score was actually a good thing.

Mazzarri gestured wildly from the sidelines, signaling the team to push forward boldly, to dare to invest troops in the attack, and not to think about defense anymore.

Chen Hero almost shouted it out directly, cheering and rushing to the front when the team attacked.

He could face the legendary Maldini face to face again!

At least, he wondered if Maldini missed him at all…

※※※

Maldini wouldn't miss Chen Hero, because he felt the pressure again.

He had the feeling that once Chen Hero entered the penalty area, he was like a fish in water, completely at home.

Hamsik passed it short, and Chen Hero, carrying Maldini, received the ball with his back to the goal.

This was a direct dialogue between bodies, with nothing fancy about it. Maldini could only use his body to resist.

However, his experience helped him. He was positioned perfectly, preventing Chen Hero from turning easily, but also preventing him from intercepting the ball.

But defense was not a one-man job. If he couldn't get up there, someone else could.

Kaladze rushed to intercept.

Chen Hero had been trying to turn and shoot. He was now in the large penalty area, and he knew that the opposing defenders wouldn't dare to foul him, so he only had to deal with Maldini behind him. He never expected that he wouldn't be able to turn… He had a very strong sense of crisis—as soon as he turned, the ball at his feet would be lost.

Now that Kaladze was about to arrive, and he still couldn't turn to shoot, he had no choice but to pass the ball out.

Hamsik, outside the penalty area, received Chen Hero's pass and took a long shot!

The ball was blocked out of bounds by Ambrosini.

Corner kick!

This was already the best result they could get from this attack.

Seeing the corner kick, the commentators became excited.

Everyone knew that Chen Hero was very good at scoring from corner kicks.

AC Milan's crisis had not been resolved.

AC Milan's players were also very clear about this. Before this game, they had specifically studied Chen Hero's game footage in Serie A, and his headers had left a very deep impression on everyone.

Defending a corner kick was basically the same as defending Chen Hero.

So when Napoli prepared to take the corner kick, Chen Hero found himself surrounded by three AC Milan players.

He ran to the near post, and two people followed. They stuck to him like glue.

However… Napoli's corner kick tactics weren't just centered around Chen Hero. No matter how good his headers were, no coach would be amateurish enough to design only one set of tactics for corner kicks. Paolo Cannavaro was also an excellent header, and before Chen Hero came, he had always been the team's scorer in set-piece tactics.

So when Arshavin saw that Chen Hero was being closely marked in the penalty area, he changed his mind. He raised his arm and held up two fingers. This was a signal to his teammates—we're implementing the second plan.

In the second plan, Paolo Cannavaro, waiting in the center, was the scorer, and Chen Hero was just a feint at the near post.

※※※

"Napoli has won a corner kick, can Hero score?" Liu Jianhong's tone was full of expectation. Zhang Lu, next to him, frowned and said, "He is being very closely defended. We can see that he has moved to the near post. Generally speaking, his going to the near post means that the center is the scoring point of Napoli's corner kick tactics…"

As he was speaking, Arshavin took the corner kick.

Sure enough, as Zhang Lu expected, the ball bypassed Chen Hero at the near post and flew directly to the center of the goal!

Goalkeeper Dida jumped up to attack, intending to punch the ball directly out.

When Paolo Cannavaro saw Dida jump up, he gave up the idea of competing for the header, and he was even preparing to retreat.

Just at this moment, a bizarre scene occurred!

Dida's punch missed!

He brushed past the top of the ball, the ball changed direction slightly, and then hit his chest, followed by his chest hitting the ground.

In other words, after falling in the air, the ball hit Dida's body and bounced down.

Paolo Cannavaro, who was just about to retreat, saw the ball flying towards him and immediately wanted to head it, but the ball that bounced up from the ground was very high, and he couldn't possibly head the ball…

At this moment, Cannavaro made a move like a striker—he turned around on the spot, facing away from the goal, looked at the ball in the air, and then… leaned back and kicked a bicycle kick!

A burst of exclamations erupted from the stands of the Stadio San Paolo. Paolo Cannavaro was the team's center-back. Usually, when he made this move, it meant that the defensive situation was very critical, and he couldn't use traditional methods to clear the ball, so he could only choose the unconventional bicycle kick, taking great risks.

But now, he was using it to shoot!

"Cannavaro—" the Italian commentator shouted.

Dida, who had come out to attack, had already landed. He turned his head and saw Cannavaro making a bicycle kick, and his heart was shocked. He quickly turned and rushed towards his goal, intending to stop the ball on the goal line.

But at this moment, he found that the ball was not flying towards the goal, but… flying crookedly towards the near post of the goal…

After all, he was a center-back… This was Cannavaro's self-deprecating thought when he kicked the ball. Because he kicked it off-center, he knew as soon as he touched the ball that he hadn't hit the right part, and it was impossible for this ball to go in!

Somewhat regretting that he had wasted this opportunity, he heard a huge shout suddenly ring out as he was falling.

※※※

"Chen—He—ro—" Liu Jianhong shouted, dragging out the syllables.

The person he was shouting for was soaring through the air at this moment, his posture exactly the same as Cannavaro's just now!

When the ball flew over, Chen Hero did not turn around to head it, but leaned back and took off directly with his back to the goal!

Bicycle kick!

This time, he solidly kicked the accurate part of the ball.

Dida didn't have time to retreat to the goal. At the near post, there was also fullback Favalli who didn't have time to retreat. He only saw Chen Hero in front of him suddenly lean back, and then the ball suddenly appeared in front of his eyes!

A conditioned reflex made him jump up on the spot, stretching his neck as much as possible, hoping to block the ball with his head.

But Chen Hero's bicycle kick was accurate and fierce, and it went through the gap between the crossbar and Favalli's head!

When the ball was caught in the net, Chen Hero also landed on his back.

Lying on the ground, he looked up at the goal behind him, and he saw the ball fall down, bouncing up and down on the ground…

Paolo Cannavaro was also on the ground, but he had already sat up and was twisting his body to look at the goal.

He didn't see the whole process of Chen Hero's bicycle kick, he only saw the ball fly into the goal.

※※※

"GoooooooooooooL——!!" The Italian commentator went crazy. A variety of wildly different shouts rang out from the commentary box.

"GooooooooL!!! gooooooooooL! gooooooooooooL!!!"

"goL! goooooL! goL! goL! goL! gooooooooooooooooL!!"

"herooooooooooooooooooooo——goooooooooooooooooL!!!"

"Goal! It's unbelievable! Bicycle kick! Hero actually did a bicycle kick!! He has never been seen making such a shooting move before! When a big man of one meter and ninety-three does such a stretched bicycle kick in the air… it's really shocking!"

In the cheers of the commentators, Chen Hero got up from the ground. Like Inzaghi, he opened his arms, waved them, his mouth wide open, roaring, and rushed to the sidelines.

Scoring a goal in this way was unbelievable even to him. This bicycle kick was not something he had carefully planned and prepared for.

When Dida punched the ball, Chen Hero turned around and was about to walk back. Just after taking one step, he saw Cannavaro hook the ball over.

The ball flew in front of him. At that time, he had no other thoughts in his mind, his body moved first, directly leaning back and making a volley bicycle kick!

Rushing to the sidelines, Chen Hero hugged the camera and made an incredible expression at the lens.

He was using such a funny face to express his disbelief at this goal.

His first bicycle kick goal, he never expected it to be scored in a match against AC Milan!

※※※

It wasn't just Chen Hero who felt unbelievable, everyone felt that this scene was too hard to believe.

Not to mention how unbelievable it was for someone like Chen Hero to be able to make a bicycle kick move in the first place, let's just talk about the whole process of this goal… Paolo Cannavaro used a bicycle kick to shoot, but it accidentally became a pass, and when the ball reached Chen Hero, Chen Hero actually used the exact same bicycle kick move to shoot the ball into the goal…

Two consecutive bicycle kicks!

Aerial relay-like goals were not something that everyone had never seen, but aerial relay with bicycle kicks was too rare!

※※※

Napoli players celebrated the goal by hugging Chen Hero, while AC Milan players were still a little dazed—our goal was penetrated just like that?

When Chen Hero made the bicycle kick, Maldini was not by Chen Hero's side. His attention was attracted by Paolo Cannavaro's bicycle kick. When his sight followed the ball to the near post, he turned his head and saw Chen Hero soaring in the air, swinging his right leg.

Chen Hero's goal was completely beyond his expectations. He had studied enough of Chen Hero's game footage. He knew that this person was excellent at headers, had a good long shot, and also had a little footwork, but he never dared to think about such a difficult shot as a bicycle kick…

If you say they were unprepared, he wouldn't admit it. Facing this opponent, Milan had prepared a lot of information. Chen Hero, what abilities he had, they all knew clearly.

But they let this person score a goal in a way they didn't even know…

It was too unexpected.

※※※

A huge roar rang out in the Stadio San Paolo, mixed with cheers and boos. Everyone was now used to this kind of sound. Whenever you heard such a sound, you could be sure—that was Chen Hero scoring a goal!

Chen Hero, surrounded by his teammates, finished celebrating and ran back to the field.

He hadn't forgotten to wave his fist at the fans in the West Stand who supported him.

Becoming a legend starts with scoring a goal against AC Milan with a bicycle kick!
