ps, Urgent! The stockpile is almost gone—only four chapters left!

I've finally published all the chapters I wrote today... This has never happened before!

But I'm still gritting my teeth and persevering, unwilling to easily fall into debt. Looks like I'll have to fight until the last second today!

Also, the reason why I used so many exclamation marks in the title to separate a phrase is because I found that the word "passion" turned into asterisks after I uploaded it, so I had to delete it and start over...

《Chen Hero: Maradona is History!》

《Chen Hero Disrespects the King of Football!》

《New Aid Shamelessly Demands Everyone Forget Maradona!》

《Chen Hero: Napoli Doesn't Need Maradona, They Need Me!》

……

The above were the newspaper headlines that everyone could see in Naples the next day.

Chen Hero's words sent the media into a frenzy. What was originally a very ordinary sentence was interpreted by them in countless ways.

Some were happy, some were angry, some gloated, and some fanned the flames.

The local Neapolitan media were all furious because Chen Hero had offended the god of the entire city of Naples. This was Naples' bottom line and untouchable spot. No one could so brazenly offend Diego Armando Maradona without paying the price!

Just how lofty is Maradona's status in Naples? You can see a hint of it from the fact that many Neapolitan fans still have Maradona's shrine in their homes to this day.

Although Maradona has no good feelings for this city, which occupied an extremely important position in his career, and rarely returned to this city after leaving, the people of this city still regard him as a god and do not allow anyone to offend him.

In fact, Chen Hero himself didn't mean much by it. These words were all interpreted by the media themselves, according to their own wishes. But how should I put it... If Chen Hero had been more honest and moderate in his speech, and treated this press conference as just a formality, without saying so many irrelevant things, there probably wouldn't have been so much trouble. So, in the final analysis, it was still Chen Hero's big mouth that caused the problem.

Luca Massimo is the head of the Napoli hardcore fan organization "Napolitan." As a hardcore fan organization in Naples, "Napolitan" is a little different from the notorious "Napoli ultras." Although both sides are the most hardcore team supporters, "Napolitan" is a little more moderate than "Napoli ultras."

"Ultras" in Italy refers to extreme fan organizations. Every team has many of these organizations, and even amateur teams have such fan organizations. Nowadays, extreme fan organizations are often the cause of stadium riots and football hooligan riots.

But in fact, the earliest "ultras" were just a group of people who were more loyal to their team than ordinary fans. They used their stands as their base and decorated their stands with various slogans, flags, portraits, and other decorations, turning them into a unique place in the entire stadium.

They cheered for the team here, whether it was a home game or an away game, they followed the team to the expedition.

But with the development of modern football and the influence of international politics, economy, and other environments, these fan organizations are also changing and differentiating. Violent factors have appeared and are out of control.

"Napoli ultras" are now basically naked football hooligan groups, while "Napolitan" adheres to the most original and roughest slogan of the ultras. Although this slogan seems very pale and weak in the current football environment.

"Drive the knives out of the stadium, drive all the ugly acts out of the stadium."

Although this organization is very moderate, it doesn't mean that a moderate organization won't have anger.

Perhaps "Napolitan" has differences with those extreme football hooligan groups in terms of how to treat football, but there is absolutely no difference in defending the true god Maradona of Naples!

Extreme organizations have extreme organizations' methods, while they, the moderates, also have moderate ways of protesting.

Massimo is contacting a textile factory to make a giant banner for them, ninety meters long and thirty meters wide, with a sentence for Chen Hero.

"You're not even worthy of shining Diego's shoes, you bastard!"

This sentence is Massimo's heartfelt words.

Chen Hero's welcome ceremony, due to the good cooperative relationship with the club and the fact that they are not radical, his fan organization was invited by the club to participate. He was also invited along with two other more moderate fan organizations, and some scattered ordinary fans.

They stopped a total of eight thousand people at the Stadio San Paolo to welcome Chen Hero, a player personally introduced by the club's president.

But when they were hanging banners, posting slogans, and sorting out the Chinese flag and the Napoli team flag in the stands, they didn't hear Chen Hero's answer about Maradona at the press conference...

He saw it on the television news and in the newspapers the next day.

He felt like a girl who had confessed to a man, only to turn around and find that the man had a disdainful look on his face.

He was angry!

Not only him, almost all Napoli fans were angry!

People who are not angry at this time are not Napoli fans! At least not local Napoli fans!

They all said that they would give Chen Hero, this ignorant kid, a lesson and teach him to be polite.

Chen Hero couldn't understand Italian TV programs and newspapers at all, so he didn't know anything about the fact that he had already made the entire Naples boil over.

But he soon found out.

When he and his agent, Dracula, walked out of the hotel gate, intending to stroll around the city of Naples, he found that he couldn't get out of the hotel.

Outside the hotel gate, there were about a hundred or so Napoli fans gathered. They were dressed differently, but the common point was that they were all wearing Napoli club scarves around their necks in such hot weather.

They waved their fists, and some even held burning flares in their hands. When they saw Chen Hero and his agent come out, the excited fans threw eggs, tomatoes, potatoes, and other things they had prepared at Chen Hero!

Some people even threw burning flares out, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became very tense!

Coordinating with the throwing was their slogan: "Go back to Russia! Naples doesn't welcome you!"

"No one can insult Diego and leave alive!"

"Watch your back, Chinese kid!"

"This is the passion of Napoli fans! Let you see it, you bastard!"

The reason why these emotional fans didn't rush in was because there were two fully armed riot police forces between them and Chen Hero...

It seemed that these people had been waiting outside the hotel for a while, and the police had arrived.

Chen Hero was frightened by this scene, and he didn't understand what was going on.

Wasn't it good at the fan meeting yesterday? All he heard were cheers, and many flags of his country were flying in the stands, indicating that these fans had put a lot of effort into welcoming him.

But how could it change in just one night?

Dracula reacted more quickly, pulling Chen Hero back into the hotel quickly. Only then did Chen Hero not get hit by those eggs, tomatoes, and the like.

Even so, a burning flare fell at Chen Hero's feet, still scaring everyone around him.

"What the hell... is going on?" The first thing Chen Hero said when he returned to the hotel lobby was to ask Dracula.

Dracula said, "I think it may be your answer about Maradona yesterday that angered the Napoli fans..."

"Which sentence?" Chen Hero's question made Dracula roll his eyes.

This carefree guy mocked the entire Napoli fans and media, but he had already forgotten what he said yesterday... If the Napoli fans knew that the object of their anger had completely forgotten this matter, they would probably be even more angry, right?

"You said that Napoli fans should forget Maradona, because now Maradona can't help them anymore... When you said this, I asked you if you were sure you wanted to translate it like this. You nodded too."

Chen Hero thought about it, and it was indeed the case. But... "Isn't this normal? Maradona belongs to the past, can he make a comeback and wear the Napoli jersey to fight for Napoli again? Or come to be Napoli's coach?"

"Obviously, Hero. You don't understand what the status of that person who has nothing to do with Napoli is in the hearts of these people..." Dracula sighed. He now regrets that he shouldn't have translated Chen Hero's original words, anyway, he couldn't understand it. But he had to admit that he underestimated the nostalgia and love that Napoli has for Maradona today. He thought there might be controversy, but that was all. Has there been less controversy around this guy Chen Hero? One more is not more, one less is not less, lice are not itchy when there are too many.

Who would have thought that the final reaction would be so intense, so intense that fans came to the hotel door to block and protest by throwing things...

"These few days, don't go anywhere, Hero. Stay in the hotel room obediently." Dracula said helplessly.

Chen Hero's face was full of disappointment - he finally came to this city, how could he not go out to see it? It's like traveling. In a few days, the team will start training for the new season, where will he have time to go out and play?

But... he tiptoed and poked his head out, looking outside. Those fans were still unwilling to leave under the police's expulsion, and even had direct conflicts with the police... Too explosive! In the past, this kind of thing could only be seen on TV news, but this time he saw a live performance.

It seems that he really can't get out... The police have started waving batons to hit people, some fans have been overturned to the ground, and then several policemen swarmed up and firmly suppressed them, followed by handcuffs! At the same time, he heard a burst of car brakes.

Turning his gaze to the distance - several cars with media logos drove to the side of the road, and a group of reporters carrying cameras, holding microphones, and cameras rushed out of the cars.

With the riot scene as the background, this group of reporters turned on the cameras, held microphones, and started hosting news programs...

This kind of scene is almost impossible to see in China.

Chen Hero was very eye-opening and interested, and even made exclamations and comments such as "Wow!" "Ah!" "Damn!" "Awesome!" "This one is fierce, this one is fierce!" "Oh my! This policeman is really fucking ruthless!"... which made Dracula, who was still worried about how to end this, have black lines all over his head.

He had completely forgotten the regret of not being able to go out to play, and transferred his interest to watching the live broadcast of this riot.

The people of Naples... are too passionate!
