ps, I fell asleep at 9:30 last night because I was too tired from staying up late for several days in a row.

So the bonus chapter for monthly votes will be updated after I wake up.

In addition, I solemnly declare: This article is purely fictional, please do not read into it. It has nothing to do with real-world groups, individuals, or units!

The next day, the reporters who went to cover the national Olympic team's training camp were shocked to find that they couldn't find Chen Hero in the crowd no matter what.

Chen Hero wasn't a shortie who was less than 1.6 meters tall. His build and height made him easily recognizable in a crowd.

Yesterday was Chen Hero's first training session with the national Olympic team. The reporters originally wanted to cover it, but they unfortunately ran into a closed training session. All reporters and fans were not allowed to watch the training.

Today it was finally open to the public, and a group of people rushed to the training location with the idea of hyping up "Chen Hero's first training with the national Olympic team", but they didn't see Chen Hero's figure.

What's going on?

Is he late?

That's impossible...

Could it be that he actually didn't report to the national Olympic team? That's also impossible, because the media had interviewed Chen Hero at Shenyang Taoxian Airport the night before when he got off the plane.

The fact that Chen Hero was selected for the national Olympic training camp list quickly became the headline of many media outlets from the day the list was announced. As the most successful Chinese player in Europe, he had accumulated a large amount of popularity in China through the tireless hype and coverage of domestic media over the past year. Calls for him to be selected for the national team had never stopped. Some people even thought that Chen Hero could go directly to the national team.

After being selected for the national Olympic training list, some media and fans optimistically stated that Chen Hero would definitely be on the final eighteen-man list. With Chen Hero on the Chinese national Olympic team, they were more confident in the national Olympic team's performance and results at the Olympic Games. This was our home field, and with such a rare opportunity to fight on our own doorstep, with Chen Hero, maybe we could really achieve Xie Yalong's goal of "entering the top four"?

Chen Hero's return made everyone, who was already full of respect, even more confident.

Who would have thought that after waking up, they would come here today and find that—he was gone!

Where did he go? Where's Chen Hero?

At first, everyone was only concerned about why Chen Hero didn't come to participate in the team's training, and then they realized that the team's captain, Zhang Wei, was also not there...

It's really strange, why didn't these two players who were expected to do great things come?

Some reporters suddenly smelled an unusual scent in the air.

"Maybe something big is going to happen..." a reporter muttered.

※※※

Du Yi was still putting on a show in front of the reporters. However, the reporters already knew what kind of person he was.

After the training session, he was surrounded by many Chinese reporters.

Everyone only asked him one question: "Why didn't Chen Hero come to participate in the team's training? And why didn't Zhang Wei come either?"

Du Yi obviously knew that the reporters would ask such questions, and he was prepared: "Well, the national Olympic team will release a press release soon. The questions you want to ask are all in it!"

After saying that, he ran away.

Leaving a group of reporters looking at each other, confused: "Press release?"

"Then it seems it's not a small matter, right?"

"It seems I was right, something big is really going to happen!"

"Maybe they're injured? Two players collided violently during training, and then both were injured..."

Some reporters had already started to fabricate the content of the press release—their occupational disease had struck again.

The press release was quickly sent to every reporter present by Li Hao, the spokesperson of the national Olympic team. At the same time, this press release also appeared on the official website of the Chinese Football Association.

The title of the press release was particularly sensational, scaring everyone who saw it at first glance.

《Decision on the Punishment of Chen Hero for Beating Teammates and Causing Conflict》

Just the title alone had shocked many people.

But the content was even more explosive...

"...On the first day Chen Hero was selected for the national Olympic team, he beat his teammate Zhang Wei in training, causing Zhang Wei to go into shock and fall into a coma. This caused a huge uproar within the team and had an extremely bad impact! The consequences are extremely serious! In view of the fact that the player's attitude towards admitting his mistake after committing the error was extremely bad, the coaching staff of the Chinese national Olympic team has made a special decision to expel him from the team!"

Beating Zhang Wei? Shocked and comatose? Expelled from the team?

Expelled from the team!

Expelled from the team!

Such a player who was expected to do great things, was expelled from the team only one day after arriving at the national Olympic team's training camp!

What on earth is going on!

Moreover, the press release was vague and did not say anything specific. Fighting? Why did they fight? What was the specific situation? What was the specific injury of Zhang Wei, who was beaten into shock and coma?

None of this was said.

Did they really want the reporters to give free rein and make it up as they pleased?

※※※

For those who didn't like Chen Hero in the first place, this press release was like the latest technological crystallization of a vibrator, bringing them to climax in an instant.

Fighting! And even beat someone into a coma! What savage bestiality! It was his own fault that such a person was kicked out of the national Olympic team!

See, we said long ago that such a person wouldn't do, right? A thing that combines all the negative qualities of Chinese football, still has the face to go to the national Olympic team? He couldn't even be honest for a day, and he was revealed to be a fraud and expelled from the team!

This is really satisfying! Really satisfying!

Xie Liang enthusiastically commented on this incident on his blog that day, and he used Chen Hero to scold Chinese football all over the place. He told his fans—"This is a typical Chinese player, Chen Hero has all the disgusting things we are familiar with in Chinese players! Such people dare to make such serious moves before such an important game as the Olympic Games, what else do you think they dare not do? Chen Hero's behavior is undoubtedly a resounding slap in the face to those patriots! Completely burying their fantasies about the national Olympic team—in the past year or so, our media have touted such scum as the 'number one star of Chinese football players studying abroad' and the 'conscience of Chinese football'... Haha! It should be black-hearted cotton, right? This is the conscience and hope of Chinese football, so our football deserves to be bullied and looked down upon!"

The media reported and reprinted this incident in a big way, which immediately caused a huge uproar in China.

Chen Hero, a player who had been expected to do great things before, a star of hope, and a player who had made the Chinese people proud in the UEFA Cup, why would he be expelled from the team for fighting on the first day he entered the national Olympic team? And from the fact that Zhang Wei was beaten into a coma, it was definitely not a simple physical collision—the media sometimes like to exaggerate, and pushing each other can be described as a "fierce conflict"...

Overnight, Chen Hero was labeled with countless hats.

Nicknames such as "bad boy", "barbarian", "beast", and "mad Winnie the Pooh" flew to him. In addition, he also received a lot of criticism.

Many media were criticizing his actions. When the Football Association didn't give more information, they could only criticize Chen Hero, of course. After all, no matter what, it was wrong to hit someone. No matter how right you are, you are wrong to use your hands.

"...At such a critical time, the stability of the team is obviously more important than everything else. However, Chen Hero's fighting incident has put the national Olympic team in the spotlight... This is extremely detrimental to the team's preparations..."

"I don't know what Chen Hero was thinking, but his approach was obviously ill-considered... No matter when, you can't use your fists against your teammates!"

"...This time I support the decision of the Chinese national Olympic coaching staff. For those who seriously affect the unity of the team and ignore the team's discipline, they should be expelled from the team! A team that is not united and has internal conflicts to the point of ignoring fists, what combat effectiveness can they talk about?"

"I personally think that the Football Association is killing the chicken to warn the monkey. We all know Chen Hero's character, and he is obviously a troublemaker. Such a player entering the national Olympic team is a landmine, and no one knows who will step on it in the end. Expelling this famous player also shows the determination of the Chinese Football Association to rectify the situation. This time, they will no longer condone it and set a very good example to the outside world. This will help to improve the team's combat effectiveness and image before the Olympic Games..."

Many fans were also very disappointed with Chen Hero's actions. Those fans who were eagerly looking forward to Chen Hero joining the national Olympic team and helping the national Olympic team to kill the Quartet in the Olympic Games and lead the team all the way to the final and finally win the gold medal were like being poured a basin of cold water on their heads. The disappointment and anger can be imagined.

Many fans vented their anger on the Internet.

"...Those who hit people get out of the national Olympic team!"

"We don't need a butcher who swings his fists at his teammates!"

"Chen Hero's actions are simply too disappointing for me! Does he still have a sense of national honor in his heart? He was expelled from the team for fighting with his teammates before the Olympic Games... He is not famous, but he has a big temper. He doesn't learn from Keane, but he has to learn from internal strife!"

"I think this matter is probably Chen Hero's problem. What is Zhang Wei's status as a player? How could he provoke a newcomer who has just joined the team? And what is Chen Hero's temper like? Everyone knows..."

"I was originally full of expectations for the national Olympic team's performance in this Olympic Games, but now it's all over..."

"The brothers upstairs should not easily lose confidence! You must know that this national Olympic team is actually not weak. Even without Chen Hero, it's not a big deal. We still have Zhang Wei, Xie Peng, and Liu Fenghui, these three outstanding overage players. I think it should be no problem to qualify from the group..."

"Yes, yes, now I'm concerned about Zhang Wei's injury. I don't know if he's awake. Don't withdraw from the national Olympic team because of this, then the national Olympic team's strength will really be greatly reduced!"

……

On the Internet and in the media, the wave of criticism against Chen Hero was higher than the last. He hadn't said a word yet, and he had been sentenced to death by many people. Some extreme fans even demanded on the Internet that Chen Hero's Chinese nationality be revoked... Because he deserted before the battle and was unwilling to serve the country, disappointing hundreds of millions of Chinese fans... and so on.

Of course, not no one questioned this.

"...The press release provided by the Football Association is too vague. We don't know what happened specifically. We only know that there was a fight, then someone went into shock, and then Chen Hero was expelled. The incident happened yesterday, and Chen Hero was found not in the team early this morning. It can be inferred that he was expelled last night. With such lightning speed, I estimate that the Football Association has never been so efficient, right? They didn't even give Chen Hero any time to defend himself. Why are they in such a hurry? I think there are many doubts about this matter. Don't rush to scold Chen Hero. When something goes wrong or you lose a game, you always push the players out to be scapegoats. Has this happened less often? At the very least, we don't even know why Chen Hero had such a fierce conflict with Zhang Wei!"

But this voice was quickly drowned out by the wave of criticism, and not even a small wave was turned up...

This is the power of public opinion, which can make you a god, and can also knock you to the ground overnight, and then step on you with hundreds of millions of feet, so that you can never turn over.

The terrifying power of controlling the right to speak and being able to incite the masses, like a storm, rushed towards Chen Hero.
