Chapter 1 Earthquake in Naples

Three days after Napoli Club President Aurelio De Laurentiis returned to Naples, one day after Napoli lost to Inter Milan 1-2 on the road, Napoli Club issued a statement: "...The club regrets to announce that we have reached a friendly parting agreement with Edy Reja. The club thanks him for his contributions to the team over the past four years, and we will never forget the moment when he led the team to successfully promote to Serie A... Due to personal reasons, Reja has left us, and we wish him all the best."

Such a brief statement announced something that was enough to shake the entire city of Naples!

Edy Reja enjoys a lofty position in the hearts of Napoli fans. Because when Napoli was reborn in the Italian Serie C2, he came to the team and became the coach of the new Napoli.

Since then, he has been with this team for four years, leading the team all the way from Serie C2 to Serie A. He is the club's meritorious coach.

Everyone thinks he is the most suitable coach for Napoli.

Who would have thought that this coach would be dismissed!

Many Napoli fans picked up the newspaper the next day and couldn't believe their eyes. Their first reaction was - is today April Fool's Day? When they found out that today was eight months away from April Fool's Day, the second feeling was - the editor of this newspaper must be drunk!

But soon, they found that all the newspaper editors were drunk...

Reja's departure is an unchangeable fact.

"I can figure out what's going on with my balls!" In the tavern where the "Napolista" fan organization most often gathers, members of the "Napolista" are expressing their views and opinions on this matter.

"Who has a bad relationship with Edy? That Chinese big bear! Who has a good relationship with the club owner? That Chinese big bear! It must be him who found the club owner, and then that old bastard De Laurentiis believed this kid's one-sided words, and then... do I need to say more!" A bald fan covered in tattoos was waving his arms and giving a loud speech.

The others surrounded him, and after listening to his words, they nodded in agreement.

"That's right! That's right!"

"Mareca is right!"

"Fuck his mother! What else does Aurelio have besides money? Who is managing the club? Marino! Who brought the team to Serie A? Edy Reja! What does it have to do with him! Now he actually fired our meritorious coach for the sake of a new player! If he continues to mess around like this, I think Napoli will sink again..."

Everyone expressed their anger.

Finally, someone suggested: "We are going to protest at the training ground! Protest at the stadium! Protest at De Laurentiis's doorstep!"

"We also have to go to that Chinese big bear's doorstep to protest!" someone added.

"Agreed!"

Everyone echoed.

Napoli fans are passionate and impulsive, and have a very good ability to take action, so when they decided to do so, they did so.

Chen Hero was awakened by a sudden burst of noise early in the morning. At first, these sounds intermittently entered his ears in his sleep, but gradually became clearer and clearer, and finally made him realize what was happening.

"We don't want the big bear! Give me back Edy!"

"Edy! Edy! We all love Edy!"

They shouted, they sang, they also set off flares, shrouding Chen Hero's doorstep in a blue mist...

At first, Chen Hero struggled to continue sleeping, so he pulled the quilt up to cover his head, although his feet were exposed, but he could only take care of one thing at a time.

Who would have thought that the fans' shouts and songs would become louder and louder, penetrating the quilt and directly drilling into his ears and mind, dispelling all his sleepiness. He finally jumped out of bed in annoyance.

"Damn it! Who has no social morality? Won't let people sleep! People still have to go to work today!" He rushed to the window, wanting to see what was going on outside, and after opening the curtains, he was dumbfounded...

Dozens of people were surrounding his apartment, pulling banners, waving their fists, singing songs in the cold winter morning, and the large amount of smoke released after the blue signal flares were lit had isolated this place from the outside world, as if the whole world did not exist.

The banners they were holding read: "You are not even worthy of shining Edy's shoes, you bastard!"

Chen Hero, standing in front of the bedroom window, felt inexplicable: "What the hell is going on?" He decided to go downstairs to see what was going on.

Edy is the name of the head coach Reja, Chen Hero still knows this. But what does Reja have to do with him?

Reja was dismissed, Chen Hero knew it yesterday during training. Because it was the team's assistant coach Fabio Viviani who came to lead their training, and everyone realized that the head coach Reja had been dismissed by the club...

These fans are obviously here to protest the dismissal of the head coach, because Chen Hero knows that Reja is very popular in the city of Naples.

But why did they come to protest in front of his house?

Chen Hero couldn't figure it out, what does the dismissal of the head coach have to do with him? He has never publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with the head coach, nor has he ever complained to that old man De Laurentiis.

Cristina Cabrilla stood at the door, still holding a gun in her hand, with a serious expression. Obviously, these uninvited guests who gathered at Chen Hero's door early in the morning had made her vigilant. This is not a hotel anymore, there are security guards guarding the hotel gate, and ordinary troublemaking fans can't get in. This is a free-standing two-story building on the street, with nothing but a door and four walls, and even the garden behind the house only has low shrubs and hedges, which can't stop those people at all.

If they wanted to do something to Chen Hero, these things couldn't stop them at all.

Chen Hero turned his head and was startled by Cabrilla, who was "hiding" in the shadows behind the door with a serious expression. The sky outside was dimly lit, and the lights inside the house were not turned on, but this made it easier to observe the situation outside. Chen Hero was still wearing pajamas, but Cabrilla was already fully dressed. It looked like she hadn't slept at all, and Chen Hero always saw her fully armed no matter when he saw her.

More than four months have passed since the initial disturbance, and the police had long been dismissed by Chen Hero. He only left Cabrilla as his part-time driver and bodyguard. On the one hand, he didn't have time to take an Italian driver's license, although he could temporarily drive in Italy for a year with an international driver's license, but Chen Hero was very unaccustomed to the terrible traffic conditions in Naples, and those tortuous and winding roads that could make people dizzy on the gps and still not be able to find them, so he felt that it was better to find a familiar driver to drive, anyway, he had money and didn't care about hiring someone.

On the other hand, it was naturally a pleasure to have a beauty accompany him, although this beauty was cold, serious, and not suitable for flirting. If you were in the mood to hug her, she could knock you to the ground with lightning speed... But even just looking at her made you feel happy. For the past four months, Chen Hero has been living with this woman day and night, and he has even become accustomed to such days.

He snubbed Sharapova, but left Cabrilla behind.

Cabrilla had never said that she wanted to leave. In her opinion, the city of Naples was still full of dangers for Chen Hero... This city has too many dark sides, the Mafia occupies this place and permeates every corner of the city, and you never know where the danger will come from.

Her task is to protect Chen Hero's safety.

In her opinion, now is a very dangerous moment.

Just then, her hand holding the gun was suddenly pressed down.

Cabrilla's body shook, and she instinctively broke free, then pointed the gun at the opposite... Chen Hero.

Chen Hero raised his hands in surrender: "Uh, relax... You don't want to be the bodyguard who shot and killed his own employer, do you?"

After seeing that it was Chen Hero, the expression on Cabrilla's face relaxed, and she put down the gun.

"Put the gun away, this thing is scary. Outside are just a bunch of fans, there's no need to be so scared." Chen Hero pointed to the people outside the door.

"This is very abnormal, you have never been protested at your doorstep before." Cabrilla analyzed.

"Yes, yes." Chen Hero nodded. "Because Reja hasn't been dismissed yet."

"Why protest at the player's doorstep when the head coach is dismissed?" Cabrilla asked.

Chen Hero also felt strange: "I don't know, maybe they went to every player's doorstep?" He took out his mobile phone and started calling Hamsik.

In the team, everyone knows that Hamsik had a conflict with Reja because of that team fine. The agent's words were actually released at Hamsik's instruction, which was to put pressure on Reja from the club's senior management.

The media has also reported on the conflict between Hamsik and Reja.

Chen Hero felt that if the fans were going to protest at his doorstep, then they should also go to Hamsik's doorstep. Hamsik's house is not far from the house he rented, just two kilometers away.

The phone rang for a long time before Hamsik answered it. He sounded weak and listless, obviously awakened from his sleep. "What time is it, Hero..."

"Get up and see if there are people protesting at your doorstep?" Chen Hero didn't care so much.

Hearing Chen Hero say this, Hamsik also became alert, remembering that Reja had been dismissed, and the fact that he and Reja had a conflict was no secret... "Wait a minute..." He jumped out of bed and ran to the window.

The world outside was peaceful and quiet, and a few birds fell on the road downstairs, gathering together to play.

"There's nothing."

"Damn it!"

"What's wrong, Hero? Outside your house..."

"Dozens of protesters!" Chen Hero said unhappily.

Hamsik laughed heartily: "Obviously, this is a personal grudge between you and them. Good luck, I have to go... yawn - sleep!" He yawned.

Chen Hero hung up the phone in frustration.

This is indeed a personal grudge between him and the fans...

Cabrilla looked at the frustrated him and suggested: "We should notify the police to deal with it."

Chen Hero had no choice, he nodded: "You handle it..."

※※※

Forty-five minutes after Cabrilla made the call, the police in Naples finally arrived late. During this time, Chen Hero took a shower and had breakfast. The fans outside were still protesting.

After the police arrived, these people dispersed under the persuasion and threats of the police.

Then the leader knocked on Chen Hero's door.

"Hello, Hero! We meet again!"

Appearing in front of Chen Hero was a familiar face - the person who came was the squad leader who was previously responsible for protecting his safety, but whose actual job every day was to use a police car to clear the way for Chen Hero to go to the training base to "show off".

"Look, I told you you would need police help!" The squad leader said with a smile. He didn't look like a policeman at all. "How about it? Do you need us to provide 24-hour protection?"

Chen Hero knew that these people were just after the money in his pocket, and he wouldn't be fooled. "Sorry, I have a bodyguard." He smiled and refused the other party, then closed the door.

※※※

After going to training, he realized that not only were there people protesting at his doorstep, but also more than a hundred fans gathered at the doorstep of Napoli Club President Aurelio De Laurentiis, pulling banners, waving the Napoli flag, and holding Maradona's portrait, protesting the club's decision to fire Reja.

Next to the training ground, there were also many fans expressing their protests and dissatisfaction in the same way.

For the fans, although Napoli's results have not been stable during this period, in general, it has not reached the point where they feel that the head coach must be fired.

So the reason for firing Reja is very simple - De Laurentiis, who likes Chen Hero, interfered with the team's affairs. This is unfair to the meritorious coach Edy Reja. He brought Napoli all the way from Serie C2 to Serie A, and he should not leave Napoli in this way.

The fans' protests lasted all morning.

After the training, Chen Hero was also surrounded by the media. They all knew about the fans running to Chen Hero's doorstep to block the door and protest. Naples is so small, how could they not know about such a big thing happening to a star like Chen Hero?

The reporters wanted to hear what Chen Hero had to say about this matter.

"First of all, the coach's departure has nothing to do with me. I didn't say bad things about him to anyone. I didn't tell you, right?"

Some of the reporters nodded. Chen Hero had never publicly bombarded Reja, saying that he had conflicts with him, and that there was me without him and him without me in this team.

"Secondly, I have no comment on his departure."

"Third." Chen Hero pointed to the cameras and camera lenses in the reporters' hands and said. "One day, I will turn those boos and protests into cheers and worship for me!"

ps, today's update is over, the plot ends here, Chen Hero's biggest crisis has basically passed, and he has gained the support of the club president.

I think the depressing part is over, now I'm just waiting to see Chen Hero explode.

Also, I would like to announce the update plan. Because there will be a banner promotion on the 6th, and I need to save the manuscript for the update at that time, so there will only be two guaranteed updates on the 4th and 5th.

Of course, if my manuscript is relatively smooth and there are more, it is not excluded that there will be a small update in advance.

Anyway, everyone please look forward to it~

Wait and see Chen Hero slap those faces back one by one!

Finally, continue to ask for monthly tickets!
