ps, it's really a coincidence that this chapter's title fits the Singles Day theme.

I was out all day today, but it wasn't to celebrate the holiday, but to take care of some personal matters, which was exhausting. I just got home and hurried to send you all a Singles Day bonus chapter, hoping to comfort the vast number of single compatriots on this somewhat cold day—don't be discouraged, there are still people in this world who like you!

Also, since I've added a chapter, can I ask for monthly votes?

I haven't updated in the past few days, so I haven't been embarrassed to ask you for monthly votes~~~

Baldini really wanted to join those Napoli extremist fans in the stands and boo Chen Hero.

Because it was his kick that ruined his good deed!

Originally, his plan was perfectly boring, taking advantage of the cold weather to make Napoli wait outside for a few more minutes, letting their warm bodies gradually cool down, and their hearts cool down along with them.

At this time, Palermo, who had been conserving their energy, would come on the field and take advantage of the enemy's demoralized state to end the suspense of the game in one fell swoop.

His plan was very thorough, but he didn't count on Chen Hero, this unstable factor. Chen Hero unexpectedly took a direct shot, which he didn't expect at all.

What he didn't expect even more was the understanding between Arshavin and Chen Hero, who completed the shot without any communication...

Now, his carefully arranged plan has lost its effectiveness, and his team has been tied. But what's even worse than that... the morale of the entire Napoli team is like a raging fire, and with the help of the wind tonight, it is burning more and more vigorously, with a tendency to spread throughout the field!

He originally planned to extinguish the fire of Napoli's fighting spirit, but he didn't expect to help the other side instead...

And the root of all this is Chen Hero. How could he not hate Chen Hero?

Now the game has restarted for ten minutes, but Palermo's offense has not been able to get going, while Napoli is full of fighting spirit, pressing Palermo's goal with a barrage of attacks.

Palermo can only shrink back to their own thirty-meter zone and defend desperately.

Chen Hero's power in positional warfare has been fully发挥 (fāhuī – brought into full play). He can use his best header to score, and he can also use his header to pass to his teammates. Moreover, his strong body can ensure that when he gets the ball, he will not be easily pushed away by the opponent's central defender. This is something that Lavezzi, who is sitting on the bench, cannot compare with.

Originally, Lavezzi could use his dribbling and breakthroughs to create opportunities, but now there is an Arshavin, who has the same characteristics as him, more experience, and a much higher football IQ. It's no wonder that Lavezzi is instantly tragic. So in fact, the person he should resent the most is not Chen Hero, but Arshavin...

Chen Hero's improvement in footwork is also visible to everyone. What was his footwork like when he first joined Napoli? At that time, he couldn't even dribble basicly, and his only role on the field was to receive the ball, pass the ball, and shoot.

This also made his value in tactics very low.

Now it's different. He has mastered basic ball control skills, and he works hard to practice his footwork in the dungeon every night, not only gaining a lot of experience, but also improving his footwork. He is only twenty years old now, and it is the time when he has strong plasticity. When he is twenty-seven or eight years old, and his skills are set, he won't be able to practice even if he wants to.

From this point of view, Reja is just unlucky, and didn't come at the right time. His efforts have instead benefited Mazzarri... a twist of fate.

※※※

Napoli's continuous offensive is suffocating. Under Mazzarri's creation, Napoli's offensive strength has been发挥 (fāhuī – brought into full play) to the maximum. He knows that his team's defense has many problems, and when there is no way to strengthen the defense in a short period of time, he simply strengthens the offense, using a strong offense to cover and make up for Napoli's defensive problems.

In this way, Chen Hero is the happiest, because he will get a lot of shooting opportunities, it just depends on whether he can seize them...

In the seventy-fourth minute, he seized it!

Hamsik pretended to cooperate with Arshavin, tricking the Palermo player defending him to close in, but he passed the ball to the wing.

Vittale, who came in from behind, received Hamsik's pass and crossed!

Chen Hero jumped in the air and had an aerial battle with Palermo's central defender Kjaer. The two were similar in height, but Chen Hero had an absolute advantage in weight. In the end, Chen Hero used his weight advantage to overwhelm the Danish defender and head the ball!

Goalkeeper Amelia made a save, but Chen Hero's header was too close, almost on the edge of the small penalty area. At such a close distance, with such a powerful header, he didn't have time to make an effective save...

"Goal! goooooooooooooooL!! Hero! Header! He scored again! His thirteenth goal of the season! He is currently ranked fifth in the league's scoring list, which is already very impressive for someone whose first half of the season was almost wasted! If his first half of the season was like this, what would his results be like now?"

The Italian commentator couldn't help but shudder at the thought of Chen Hero maintaining this state from the beginning of the first half of the season.

No wonder this person only played fifty games in the Russian Premier League, but scored fifty-eight goals... It seems that it is not entirely because of the low level of the Russian Premier League...

Napoli's fans split again. The extremist fans continued to boo, while the more moderate and neutral fans, without fixed organizations, cheered—it was Chen Hero's actions after scoring the fourth goal in the game against Roma that won their welcome and support. At that time, everyone was guessing that maybe they would not be spared either, but Chen Hero pointed at the media seats twice and slapped them, meaning: I only slap the media, it has nothing to do with anyone else.

Not only that, after he slapped the media, he also showed the tattoos on his back to the fans in the west stand, which was obviously a friendly gesture, and no one would interpret it as a demonstration.

From that time on, some supporters of Chen Hero began to gradually appear in the stands. They did not belong to the "Napoli people," hardcore fans who were a little more moderate than the extremist fans, nor did they belong to the "Napoli ultras," extremist fan organizations. They did not join any fan organizations, and they were not so restricted by rules and regulations, requiring them to keep booing when Chen Hero got the ball. They had no loyalty to those fan organizations. What brought them to the stadium to watch the game was not a "brotherly" fan organization, nor was it an endorsement of the concept of "rejecting modern football." They were just because they liked football and liked Napoli, that's all.

When Chen Hero, as a Napoli player, used one goal after another to help the team win, why shouldn't they cheer? Why should they suppress their true inner feelings and reluctantly boo?

They are not the same kind of people as those extremist fans at all!

"Hero! Well done!!" Such shouts were heard from the stands.

Unfortunately, these people are still too weak compared to those organized fans, so their shouts can't reach Chen Hero's ears at all...

※※※

Chen Hero ignored the noisy voices in the stands, and ran to hug Vitale, thanking this player who was about the same age as himself. In the team, he can always quickly get along with players who are about the same age as him. Now Hamsik has a good relationship with him, and Vitale has also gotten many opportunities to show himself because of Chen Hero's rise. His activity on the wing also allows him to often appear in the starting lineup.

Plus Arshavin, Chen Hero has more and more allies in the team, and Lavezzi is completely at a disadvantage...

※※※

After Chen Hero scored, the game situation was also opened up. Because Palermo found that it was impossible to defend to the death, they had to press out to attack, and once they came out, there were more gaps.

Napoli's counterattack was played with ease.

In the eighty-fifth minute, Hamsik received a pass from Arshavin in a counterattack and directly shot from long range, setting the score at 4:2.

Napoli came from behind and won the game.

After the game, Napoli's players thanked the fans who followed them to the away game and always supported them under the away fans' stand.

Chen Hero didn't want to go, because his relationship with Napoli's fans wasn't very good.

But captain Paolo Cannavaro slapped him on the shoulder next to him: "Go, there are still people who sincerely support you. You shouldn't make those fans who are not extremist fans sad."

Chen Hero looked at the stands. Because they won the game, everyone stood up and cheered. He couldn't tell who was cheering for him and who was cheering for others.

But he can tell who are Napoli's extremist fans and who are just ordinary fans. Generally speaking, those who hang a lot of banners, have very uniform clothing, and have very consistent slogans and actions are generally organized fan groups. Moreover... the logo of "Napoli ultras" is very conspicuous and can be seen at a glance.

And those who are only wearing Napoli jerseys, or holding Napoli team scarves, but lack organization, must be scattered fans.

Chen Hero listened to the captain's words and followed his teammates over, but he didn't stand under the stands of those extremist fans. He ran straight to find those fans who were not organized.

Sure enough, seeing his arrival, this group of fans was very happy, and some of them even shouted Chen Hero's name.

"Hero! Hero! Hero!!"

This was the first time Chen Hero had heard fans cheer his name in the stadium since joining Napoli. Congratulations!

He was so happy that he simply took off his number nine jersey and threw it directly onto the stands!

Then, shirtless, he celebrated the victory with this group of his supporters.

"Keep scoring goals, Hero!"

"Don't worry, we will support you whether it's at home or away!"

The excited fans also shouted at him.

Chen Hero responded by pointing at them and then pounding his chest, meaning—I sincerely thank you!

Seeing that the relationship between Chen Hero and Napoli's fans was gradually easing, Paolo Cannavaro also showed a smile on his face.

It's not good to always be against the fans, Hero.
