Chapter 578 This is a Hero's Record! (Second Update, Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
However, this slight change was insignificant compared to the overall environment.
So the general situation was still that the number of people who opposed and disliked Chen Hero far outweighed those who supported and liked him.
But this could not change the fact that Chen Hero was in excellent form.
"Hero… he shoots from distance! What a close call! Júlio César makes a brilliant save!"
"A header! Hero again—just wide!"
"Hero, Hero, Hero… Hero Hero Hero He——ro——!!! Wow—too bad, it hit the post!"
Chen Hero constantly appeared in close-up shots, this time not because of the rumors before the match, but because his performance in the game was indeed very impressive, making it impossible for the television broadcast to ignore his brilliance.
Chen Hero performed well, and Napoli's overall performance followed suit. Playing at their home stadium, Napoli's advantage was still obvious, not to mention that Napoli was now single-mindedly trying to win the league title, their eyes bloodshot, and they were not afraid of Inter Milan at all.
Inter Milan is strong? We, Napoli, are not weak either!
Inter Milan is the Treble winner? That was last year!
So, led by Chen Hero, Napoli's offensive surged wave after wave, flooding towards Inter Milan's penalty area.
For the first time, AC Milan fans watching the game in front of the TV cheered for their city rivals.
"Go, Inter Milan!"
"Go, little sister!"
"We can't lose to Napoli, absolutely can't lose to Napoli!"
"Mole, do something! Make some adjustments, bring someone else on!"
※※※
Leonardo's Inter Milan could not hear the cheers of the AC Milan fans, and God seemed to be off duty today, unable to hear the prayers of the AC Milan fans.
Under Napoli's bombardment, cracks appeared in Inter Milan's defense, and in the Napoli storm, these cracks quickly expanded, leading to the collapse of Inter Milan's defense…
The match reached the sixty-ninth minute.
Napoli organized an attack, and Hamšík tried to play a through ball to Chen Hero.
Seeing him pass the ball to Chen Hero, a piercing boo rang out in the stands.
However, the ball failed to reach Chen Hero's feet, and was kicked back by Inter Milan defender Materazzi.
The booing came to an abrupt halt.
But it seemed as if he was teasing them.
Materazzi's hasty clearance did not go far, and the ball returned to Hamšík's feet.
Hamšík did not dribble or switch the passing target. He directly lifted his foot and passed the ball again, still targeting Chen Hero!
The stands erupted in crazy boos again.
It was faster than someone giving instructions!
Two consecutive passes finally brought the ball to Chen Hero's feet.
Chen Hero did not turn directly to break into the penalty area, but quickly transferred the ball to the wing, giving it to Sánchez, who had overlapped.
The booing stopped again.
The Chinese commentator couldn't stand the actions of the Napoli fans, but he couldn't directly criticize them, for fear that someone would be dissatisfied with him and accuse him of "sabotaging the friendly relations between China and Italy," which would not be worth it.
So he could only express his dissatisfaction in a roundabout way.
"I was thinking, fortunately Napoli doesn't play Barcelona-style football, otherwise if Hero just found a teammate to pass the ball back and forth… Hahaha!" He laughed.
Of course, he was still scolded later, by Chinese Barcelona fans, who felt that Barcelona was taking an undeserved hit.
After passing the ball, Chen Hero turned and ran into the penalty area. The Inter Milan defenders were shocked, and none dared to be negligent, quickly following Chen Hero towards their own goal.
Not only Inter Milan, but even AC Milan fans in front of the TV became nervous.
The commentator was even more excited: "The Napoli ball has been passed to the wing, Sánchez has the ball!!"
He wasn't praising Sánchez, he was looking forward to what would happen in the center of the penalty area.
When the ball came to the wing and Chen Hero turned to insert himself in front of the goal, everyone knew—the Xiong-style (Bear-style) bomber was about to take off and drop its bomb.
Sure enough, Sánchez did not stop the ball and dribble, in order to seize the opportunity, he looked up to observe the situation in the penalty area, while choosing to go around, circled around, and then… directly crossed!
The ball flew high from the right, flying towards the goal.
Everyone's attention was firmly attracted by the ball in the air, but in fact, the corners of their eyes were still glancing at the other side…
※※※
This time, Materazzi decided not to wait for Chen Hero to jump, he jumped first, at least to secure a favorable position first!
So he didn't look at Chen Hero's position at all, he just jumped when he thought the time was right!
Then he jumped too early…
Materazzi realized this problem just as he was taking off. The ball did not fly directly to the landing point he was looking at, but had an arc. And because of this arc, the time it took for the ball to reach the intended landing point was slightly later… less than a second, but it determined life and death.
Just as he was horrified, a gust of wind blew behind him, the Xiong-style (Bear-style) bomber took off, and arrived at the intended destination, and then… twisted his waist, turned his shoulders, and swung his head!
His forehead smashed solidly into the ball.
The sound of "bang" was not only heard by Materazzi, who was close at hand, but even the audience in front of the TV heard it.
This shows how powerful this header was!
Júlio César concentrated all his attention, but Chen Hero's shot was so close and the angle was so tricky that he flew out to save it, but failed to stop the ball.
Everyone saw the ball fly straight into the goal from the air.
At that moment, even the boos seemed to weaken a lot…
Chen Hero was high above, his powerful hang time allowed him to see the whole process of the goal in the air. He saw the ball fly into the goal, and clenched his fist in the air.
Then, as soon as he landed, he punched the air hard.
At this time, the other sounds exploded.
Boos, cheers, gasps, shouts… all the sounds were like being ignited by dynamite, erupting suddenly, the sound wave instantly filled the stadium, and after encountering the resistance of the stands around, like a raging wave encountering a breakwater, all kinds of forces collided, and finally chose the only passage—straight into the sky!
"Boom!!!"
※※※
"Hero! Hero! Ahhh! Hero!! He scored again, a brace! A brace!"
"The historic moment… has finally arrived!"
"Hero, he scored his thirty-sixth goal of the season! Now he has officially surpassed AC Milan's legendary striker Gunnar Nordahl's thirty-five goals, becoming the player with the most goals in a single season in the hundred-year history of Serie A!"
"Unbelievable! Simply unbelievable! Incredible! Absolutely incredible! Hero has surpassed history, he has created a brand new history of his own!"
"Thirty-sixth goal! Thirty-sixth!! God! Although I knew that this moment might just be a matter of time, but when this moment really comes, I still find it hard to believe… Nordahl's sixty-one-year record has been broken!"
The commentator of CCTV was even more excited: "How fortunate are we? On such a night, to witness together a brand new beginning of history, a historical node, a historical moment that people may still talk about for many years to come! Many years later, you can say to your children: 'I watched the live broadcast of the game where Hero broke the record!' Nordahl's record is a thing of the past, now it is Chen Hero's record!"
The commentators went crazy.
The reporters in the press box at the scene also went crazy.
The fans in front of the TV were even crazier!
When Chen Hero's mother saw her son head the ball into the goal, she screamed excitedly, and then grabbed her husband.
And Chen Tao? Because his wife was holding him tightly, he couldn't jump up from the sofa, but this didn't prevent him from clenching his fist and waving it: "Good job, Hero!"
In front of the TV, there were many fans who were even more excited than them, they jumped, cheered. Completely forgetting that it was already late at night. So at that moment, I don't know how many people were awakened by the cheers from the living room.
※※※
Italian AC Milan fans sat in front of the TV in a daze, their ears filled with the commentator's frantic roars.
Is this really Chen Hero, who had turned against the fans, was unbearably harassed, and was in a state of great tension? Was everything he had suffered in the past week an illusion? Was it all a play that the entire city of Napoli's fans and team had planned together?
This is impossible!
This is not scientific!
Mazzarri made a representative summary of the expressions and actions of all the astonished people—after seeing Chen Hero high above, heading the ball into the goal, he jumped up from his seat, then put his hands on his head, widened his eyes, opened his mouth, with an incredible expression on his face.
He was not incredulous that Chen Hero had broken the historical record, but he was surprised that Chen Hero could still break the historical record after receiving so much interference!
※※※
In the midst of boos, cheers, and incredible shouts, Chen Hero ran to the bottom of the huge banner, he raised his hand high, and made a very standard slap gesture towards the slogan "You are not even worthy of shining Diego's shoes, you bastard!"
"Slap!"
Long time no see, this flag. Long time no see, this sentence. This is my reunion gift!
Chen Hero's career at Napoli's Stadio San Paolo began with a slap and ended with a slap.
What a perfect ending!

ps, in the name of Chen Hero's record, I ask everyone for monthly votes!
