Volume 1: Males Come and Go, People Pay Attention to Chapter 21: The Bear Who Suffers From Hardship (Guaranteed First Update)
Chapter 21: The Bear Who Tastes the Courage (The First Update)
Many people are looking forward to Chen Yingxiong's first Serie A match in front of the TV, which is also the first Serie A match of a Chinese player.
But the result was to disappoint them.
Chen Yingxiong didn't score, although he played hard in the game, it is disappointing not to score.
He started the game, but did not bring a goal for the team.
In the game, he also tried to cooperate with his teammates.
But obviously Ravizi doesn't like to cooperate with him. Ravizi only needs him to create space for himself, and then he can break through and score.
That is to say, Hamsik can still cooperate with him, but in view of Chen Yingxiong's low tactical quality and limited technical level at his feet, the cooperation between the two is also lacklustre.
Naples' most threatening offense still comes from Ravizzi.
But he, like Chen Yingxiong, did not score. The man who scored was Hamsik, who equalized the score in the 55th minute.
Chen Yingxiong was replaced by the coach in the 60th minute as defender Fabiano Santa Croce was sent off after accumulating two yellow cards in the 54th minute.
His first Serie A appearance ended like this.
When he was replaced, many Chinese fans yelled that Rhea's coach should not replace Chen Yingxiong. But they also knew in their hearts that at this time, if there is one less defender, they can only replace it with a forward, and Chen Yingxiong's performance is indeed not as eye-catching as Ravizi. Who told Ravizi to be fast, excellent in dribbling, and able to create a threatening breakthrough as soon as he got the ball on the court?
This is indeed more popular than Chen Yingxiong, and it is easier to be photographed.
What does Chen Yingxiong have? Except for a cyclist who is still practicing, he can only shoot, and only shooting is what he is best at. Unfortunately, he didn't get many shots in this game. Naples took 19 shots in the whole game, and Chen Yingxiong shot four of them, one of which was within the range of the goal frame, and the other three were either high or wide.
"It's been two months since he joined the team. He has played four warm-up matches and four official matches. His performance is as if he has just joined the team, which is incompatible with the team's tactics." This is Zhang Lu, a guest commentator from CCTV, commenting on Chen Yingxiong's 60-minute match.

The newspaper in front of Chen Tao was full of reports and comments about Chen Yingxiong's appearance in the Serie A capital yesterday.
"...Maybe we put too much pressure on him, and the expectations are too high. For Chinese players, it is already very good to be able to make their debut in Serie A. If you score a goal or something, you should relax your mind and wait..."
"...Chen Yingxiong was given a four-point failing score by the Italian media after the game. In Naples' away draw with Roma, his performance was lackluster..."
"Maybe it has something to do with the crazy goals before. His crazy state has gone away from him, and it will take a while to recover. Generally speaking, after such a crazy first half of the season, players will fall into a short trough in the next period of time..."
Chen Tao took out his mobile phone and called his son. He was worried that his son would be hit in yesterday's game.
As soon as the call was connected, he heard Chen Yingxiong's loud voice.
"Oh, Dad! You up to sleep?"
※ ※ ※
Chen Yingxiong was training in the dungeon when his cell phone rang and pulled him out. When he found out that it was his father calling, he was very surprised.
Because he looked at the time display on his mobile phone, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon, and Italy time was six hours later than Beijing time, which means that it should be past eleven o'clock in the evening in China at this time.
"I think you should finish training, I'll give you a call."
"We didn't practice today, Dad. After returning from the away game, we disbanded directly. I spent the whole day in the hotel...to rest."
Chen Yingxiong was sweating profusely, trying to keep his breath even, so as not to arouse his father's suspicion.
"Oh. That's it... that's good, take a good rest, don't be too tired, you should go out to play or go out to play. Your aunt told me that Naples is beautiful and a tourist attraction. You are there, such a good opportunity, how can you stay in the hotel all day? "
Chen Yingxiong chuckled, not knowing what to say to his father. He didn't tell anyone that he had Mr. Aurora and the dungeon, it was a secret that belonged entirely to him. Even Dad didn't know. For Dad, his son is a genius, and he doesn't want to destroy his good image in Dad's heart.
"Or get in touch with your girlfriend. How long have you not been in touch with her? In addition, the food in Naples is also very famous, have you tried it..."
"Dad." Chen Yingxiong coughed. "If you have anything to say, just say it."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone: "I watched your game yesterday. Don't care about the reaction of the media and fans, don't feel pressure and psychological burden..."
Chen Yingxiong smiled: "I don't have any psychological burden or pressure, Dad."
"Don't be stubborn!"
"I really didn't..." Chen Yingxiong.
"As soon as I finished speaking, you were stubborn."
Chen Yingxiong shut up. Then I listened to my father nagging about a lot of truths, how can you see a rainbow without going through wind and rain, what great men grow up from constant setbacks and tribulations, what kind of ups and downs, what "a hard-working man lives up to the sky, and he can eat a brave man without a salary", what about Washington cutting a cherry tree, what Franklin flying a kite... Regardless of whether it can be completely related to Chen Yingxiong's current situation, he knows all the inspirational stories of celebrities he can think of. Tell Chen Yingxiong.
The length of the phone call made Chen Yingxiong's cell phone hot all the time, and made Chen Yingxiong, who was sweating profusely just after coming out of the dungeon, sweat all over his body in the end...
When finally, Chen Tao finished speaking, Chen Yingxiong was finally relieved.
Of course he knew that his father was doing it for his own good, but he felt that his father really didn't have to worry about anything, because he didn't worry about it himself. It's just a league game, but there are more than 30 games in a season. It is normal for a player to fluctuate. I didn't score in the first game, but it doesn't mean I won't score in the future.
But he didn't dare to say that his father's worry was unnecessary. He could only say to his father: "Dad, don't worry. I'm trying my best now!"
Special training in the dungeon. For this reason, he gave up the opportunity to go out to have fun and visit famous places, and even neglected Sharapova again.
In order to, one day, be able to rant on the court to all the people who have ever laughed at him.
The giant bear behind me has been sleeping for too long, and one day, it will wake up. At that time, I will let its roar resound throughout the Apennines!

When September passes, Chinese fans must not be willing to relive Chen Yingxiong's few league games in Naples-he started four times in the league, two of which played full games, and were replaced halfway twice. His goal count is... blinding zero!
His problem is still unresolved, and he is still tactically out of tune with the team. As much as he's trying to make his moves more flexible, he's really not good at it.
The first Serie A game of a Chinese player is no longer worthy of hype. Now the entire Chinese media and fans are waiting and guessing when Chen Yingxiong will be able to play in the league.
The only consolation is that he broke his scoring drought in official games since he joined Naples-on September 18, in the third round of the UEFA Cup qualifier against Benfica at home, Chen Yingxiong scored his first official game goal for joining Naples.
From a Napoli corner, he headed the ball into the Benfica goal with his trademark header.
Although in the team's sports battle, he is not the main scoring player, but in the set kick, Rhea still treats and arranges him as the team's main scoring player.
After the goal, Chen Yingxiong looked very excited, and he roared loudly at the camera lens.
But that hasn't changed the way home fans feel about him. The booing only disappeared for a while, and then it sounded again. And the huge banner in the stands that says "You're not even worthy of shining Diego's shoes, bastard!" is still there.
There is really nothing to be proud of scoring in the qualifying round. For Chen Yingxiong, it just made up for a small regret-he was in Zenit St. Petersburg last year. Although he won the UEFA Cup top scorer, he did not score in the qualifying round.
So no one cares at all.
The media in Naples only value Chen Yingxiong's performance in the league. To them, Chen Yingxiong's performance in the league is no different from garbage.
Some media have called for Chen Yingxiong to be removed from the starting lineup.
"We can't give him the starting treatment just because he is a player signed by Aurelio De Laurentiis himself. I think whether he can start in the weekend league depends on only one factor, and that is his state and ability. In my opinion, Chen Yingxiong does not meet these two requirements! Zarajeta has returned from injury, why not let Zarajeta, who is more suitable for the team than Chen Yingxiong, start?"
So in the sixth round of the league, in Naples' away game against Genoa, Chen Yingxiong was finally put on the bench, and it was Sarajeta who replaced him in the game.
Maybe the goddess of luck has already abandoned Chen Yingxiong, the "Naples outcast". Zarajeta scored a goal in his first start this season!
Although the team eventually lost to Genoa 2:3 in the away game, they suffered their first defeat of the new season.
But Sarajeta's goal seems to indicate that Chen Yingxiong will not only compete with the local media, fans, and Ravizi in Naples this season, but now there is another competitor, and it is also the most direct competitor in terms of position-Uruguayan center Sarajeta.
In the last ten minutes of the game, Chen Yingxiong came off the bench and replaced Sarajeta. Reya seems to be telling everyone in this way-Chen Yingxiong will rotate with Sarajeta.

***, I can say it very responsibly - the depressing episode will soon pass, at most it will be over in one day!
So in order to let everyone wait as little as possible, the fourth watch broke out today! Even if there are not many manuscripts, it will explode!
Four more today! Three more tomorrow!
By the way, the erupting Dongfeng begged for a ***!
