Chapter 46

When Chen Hero hammered the football into Barcelona's goal with a very beautiful turn and volley, everyone in Wembley Stadium jumped up from their seats. It was just that everyone's mood was different. Napoli fans were naturally cheering for the goal, while Barcelona fans were frightened—they really didn't expect Chen Hero to score in this way…

Napoli equalized the score against Barcelona, and even the most extreme fans couldn't bring themselves to boo Chen Hero—yes, they were at odds with Chen Hero, but they didn't expect Chen Hero to score twice in the Champions League final, monopolizing Napoli's goals. So these people were caught off guard. A player who scores twice in the Champions League final, are we going to boo him?

For the first time, the Azure Giant felt a sense of pride, cheering and roaring to their heart's content, creating a wave that swept through Wembley Stadium.

The shouts of "Hero! Hero!! Hero!!!" were finally clearly audible, for the first time in this final!

After scoring, Chen Hero did not dive to celebrate this time. He ran to the corner flag and signaled for Cassano and Arshavin to come over.

Both good friends knew exactly what Chen Hero was going to do.

So, in full view of everyone, the three of them came up with a special goal celebration…

Cassano ran behind Chen Hero. Chen Hero had his back to him, raised his hands to celebrate the goal, and roared at the Barcelona fans in the stands.

At this moment, Cassano behind him suddenly clutched his face in pain and fell to the ground, rolling around… without any contact.

The fans in the stands and the audience in front of the TV, including the commentators, were stunned and didn't understand what was going on for a moment.

"It seems that Hero was too excited and hit Cassano's face…" Some commentators tried to explain the current strange situation.

However, his commentary guest disagreed: "That's not right, I saw clearly that Hero clearly didn't hit Cassano…"

"Strange…" the two muttered at the same time.

The Catalan commentators vented their frustration over the lost goal in this celebration: "Look! He even hits his teammates' faces when he celebrates a goal. He's addicted to elbowing!" But he couldn't continue what he was going to say, because he soon understood what was going on…

At this time, Chen Hero turned around, looking at Cassano with a surprised expression. Arshavin, who was standing next to him, rushed up, pretended to blow a whistle, and after running in front of Chen Hero, he raised his arm. This was the gesture of showing a card. The other hand pointed off the field, signaling him to leave the field, a red card!

Chen Hero put his hands on his head, looking incredulous, and then roared at Arshavin—are you kidding me! I didn't even touch him! You actually called me for a foul and sent me off with a red card?!

Everyone understood!

The Italian commentator burst into laughter: "Ah hahahahaha! Hahaha! This is Hero's new celebration! It's amazing he came up with it! Is he satirizing Barcelona's dives and expressing his dissatisfaction with Alves framing him?"

Many commentators burst into laughter after understanding what was going on, just like the Italian commentator.

"Hero is using this action to celebrate the goal, obviously he is still brooding over what happened last season!"

"Hero has finally found a good way to fight back—he won't use diving to benefit himself, but he can use such a celebration to fight back against Barcelona after scoring a legitimate goal! It's so creative and humorous! This is much smarter than slamming an elbow into Busquets's nose!"

"Ha! I knew that Chen Hero wouldn't let it go! Maybe he's been brewing this celebration since he was sent off in that game, right?"

"Now you know why Hero has such an awesome performance this season, even after being suspended for eight games and missing six group matches, right? That's all because of… hate! He has a deep hatred for Barcelona! That's why he was able to keep scoring goals, lead the team through all the obstacles, and reach the final! All for a wonderful revenge on such a high-profile stage! Well done, Hero!!"

Of course, not everyone looked happy. At least the Catalan commentator and a certain big shot sitting on the podium waiting to present the award after the game didn't look too good…

But they couldn't say anything. It was their freedom to use such actions to celebrate after scoring. FIFA stipulates that players are not allowed to take off their shirts to celebrate, not allowed to pull up their jerseys over their heads to celebrate, and not allowed to climb onto the stands and the fences around the stadium to celebrate, but it doesn't say they can't perform a short play to celebrate…

Even though they knew that people were slapping them in the face, they could only endure it.

Especially the Catalan commentator, he wished he could lick back the saliva he had just spat out, and it would be best if he could erase everyone's memory, so that they wouldn't remember what he said before… This was just too embarrassing! A naked slap in the face! And it was himself who slapped himself!

After the performance, Cassano, who was still clutching his face and rolling back and forth on the ground, got up quickly and hugged the other two. At this time, the other Napoli teammates also rushed up and hugged the three of them.

"How did you come up with this idea, Hero?"

"It's so cool! I felt so relieved watching it, hahaha! The anger in my heart has finally been vented!"

"Did you see the expressions on the Barcelona players' faces just now? They were so embarrassed, hahaha!"

Everyone praised his idea.

Chen Hero said to Arshavin: "See, Shava. I told you there would be a chance! Don't worry about not having a chance to show off this celebration, haha!"

Arshavin raised his index finger: "There's still more."

"What are you afraid of? Just score another goal!"

Arshavin also laughed: "If the Barcelona players heard what you said, I don't know how angry they would be…"

Chen Hero smiled and said, "I wish they could hear it!"

A group of people hugged each other, talked and laughed, and ran back to their own half.

Falling behind Barcelona and then equalizing the score boosted the confidence of the Napoli players. Now they didn't just think that they could really compete with Barcelona, but now their idea was—we can win the championship! Instead of competing with Barcelona for the championship…

On the other hand, Barcelona was a little confused by Chen Hero's goal. Chen Hero's goal was indeed beautiful, and they didn't expect Chen Hero to score such a goal at all, so they were a little suffocated—he must have guessed, right? Definitely! How could he shoot such a ball?

The thought that the other side kicked it in casually made the Barcelona players feel indignant. We worked so hard to score two goals, and you just swung your foot like that at the corner of the penalty area, and you scored! How can we bear this!

"Damn it! Just lucky!" Perez in the media box spat fiercely.

He was stunned for a long time after Chen Hero scored, and now he finally reacted. After reacting, he immediately said this, he wouldn't be able to eliminate the hatred in his heart if he didn't!

Just when Barcelona was leading, Chen Hero came up with a world-class goal and equalized the score.

What is this if not luck?

But while cursing like this, he felt a little worried in his heart… Chen Hero's state is really too good. He even managed to score such a difficult goal… There are still more than twenty minutes left in the game, what if he can score another goal?

※※※

Messi stood in the center circle with Villa, with the football at their feet. They were waiting for the Napoli players to return to their own half so they could kick off.

There was no expression on his face, but his heart was not as calm as it seemed on the surface.

Chen Hero's goal gave him a great shock, because this time he wasn't just watching from the sidelines, Chen Hero's toe passed in front of his face, and if he stretched forward a little more, he would have been kicked in the face by Chen Hero.

Such a beautiful goal… even he had nothing to say.

Although he hated Chen Hero's arrogance and big mouth, he had to admit that Chen Hero was really good…

At least this goal left him speechless. That was a goal that even he wanted to score!

Now the other side has twelve goals, just like him… If he doesn't want to share the top scorer title with him, he has to work harder to score another goal and widen the gap again.

But honestly, that's difficult. It's not like you can score a goal whenever you want in the Champions League final.

He really didn't expect Chen Hero to score twice in the Champions League final… He had fully felt the pressure Chen Hero brought.

Was he really going to be overtaken by the other side to get the top scorer title after playing six more group matches than him?

Thinking of this, Messi clenched his fists, he was unwilling, really unwilling!

Villa, who was standing with Messi, noticed Messi's hand and looked at Messi's face in surprise. There was still no expression on that delicate face.

But he knew why Messi clenched his fist.

Messi had even felt the pressure from that person!

How powerful is that Chen Hero…

He turned his gaze over. The tall Chen Hero was particularly conspicuous in the crowd, but he looked like an ordinary high center forward. Apart from being stronger than the average center forward, there was nothing special about him…

Villa couldn't figure out why this big guy was so powerful that he could push Messi to the point of being uneasy.
