Everyone now understood why Chen Hero looked so painful when he fell to the ground without much physical contact.

Men are often strong, but even the strongest have fatal weaknesses, forbidden zones that must never be touched. Not some soft, delicate, slender, and sensitive heart, but... their bird and eggs.

"Hahahaha..." A commentator laughed heartlessly. Although grabbing Chen Hero was indeed painful, it was hilarious to others...

In soccer games, there are many hand movements, and sometimes pants get pulled down during tussles. But grabbing someone's balls and forcing them to lose possession is rare.

And to think of Papastathopoulos's dive gesture earlier... what a thick skin!

"How could that be a dive!" Liu Jianhong said indignantly. "Anyone who gets grabbed in the... uh, *that* area, would lose their balance and fall, right?! That was a terrible move! He should at least get a yellow card!"

While the commentators were either gloating, watching the spectacle, or indignant, Chen Hero was on the sidelines repeatedly squatting and jumping.

"I'm telling you, your method doesn't work. My method is the only way..." Chen Hero said to the team doctor, Alfonso de Nicola, as he did this.

Getting hit in the groin is something all soccer players experience, so folk remedies are common. That is, jump up and shake it vigorously, then squat, stand up, and repeat several times.

Whether it actually works or has any scientific basis, Chen Hero had no idea.

Papastathopoulos grabbed him hard. He didn't know if it was intentional, or if he was just trying to maintain his balance and grabbed it accidentally in the chaos...

But the result was the same: it caused great trauma to Chen Hero's body and mind!

Even now, it still stung, making him afraid that something was wrong with his宝贝儿 (bǎobèi’r - darling, precious thing).

Thinking of this, he was filled with anger, his eyes fixed on Papastathopoulos.

Now he understood why Cassano said Papastathopoulos played dirty—damn it, if this isn't dirty, what is!

※※※

Chen Hero went up and down like this for a long time before he felt the pain in his lower abdomen subside. But there was still some numbness, and he was worried that he would become impotent. But he couldn't just drop his pants and examine and play with it in public to see if the thing could still get hard.

He had been delayed on the sidelines for several minutes. During this time, his teammates had been playing ten against eleven. And this was Genoa's home game. The whole Genoa team was like they'd taken Viagra, charging and attacking fiercely from the first minute, making Napoli suffer.

Now that they were a man down, any further delay and the score would be behind by the time he got on the field.

So, suppressing his worries about his precious jewels, he raised his hand to signal that he could play.

The referee waved him on, and Chen Hero strode onto the field.

But he had only taken two steps before his posture went awry—when running, the balls bounce up and down in the crotch, and that bounce... was painful!!

Chen Hero became even more worried about his balls and didn't dare run with force.

He was so worried about his balls that he forgot about dealing with his "enemy" Papastathopoulos.

As a result, the first half was incredibly embarrassing for Chen Hero.

Almost every commentator would evaluate his performance in the first half like this: "Chen Hero is sleepwalking! Since that injury, he suddenly seems to be holding back!"

Papastathopoulos was the most triumphant person in the first half, because he had successfully frozen Chen Hero. The giant-like terror that the media talked about was as docile as a sheep in front of him.

Of course, he knew why the other guy was so weak, because he had grabbed his balls...

But defense is about using any means necessary, even fouls. The central defender's top priority is to stop the opponent's attack. Results are all that matter.

The result was that he successfully froze Chen Hero for forty-five minutes with his "Dragon Claw Balls Grab."

Pleased with himself, he was even considering whether to promote this move—poor Messi...

"Hernán Crespo—!!! Beautiful header! This is Genoa's second goal of the first half! They are leading Napoli 2-0 at home! For the Genoa players, this is indeed a revenge match! This score may give them some comfort—but no matter how many goals they win in today's game, it cannot change the fact that they can only play in the UEFA Cup, while Napoli plays in the Champions League..."

"Napoli's performance on the road is terrible. Mazzarri seems to have underestimated the fighting spirit of the Genoa players. The whole team has been very passive from the beginning of the game... At the same time, the team's main scorer Chen Hero has been sleepwalking since Papastathopoulos's groin attack, completely losing his former power, which has greatly affected the team's offense..."

Chen Hero's poor performance affected Napoli's attack. Coupled with the team's lack of preparation, Genoa broke through their goal twice in the first half.

The game was about to lose its suspense...

The more than six thousand Napoli fans following the team could only watch Genoa's players and fans celebrate their goals. There was nothing they could do.

※※※

Chen Hero looked rather dejected as he walked off the field, his head down, his mood low. He seemed ashamed of his poor performance in the first half.

The Genoa fans in the stands burst into laughter and boos, mocking Chen Hero's extremely weak performance after Papastathopoulos grabbed his balls, as if he was really a coward without balls...

"Ooooooh! Someone lost their balls!!"

"A coward with no balls!"

"Balls broken, heart broken! Olala!"

The fans kept shouting and singing in the stands, humiliating Chen Hero to their heart's content.

Such things sounded infuriating to the other Napoli players—this was too much humiliation!

But this was their home field, and no matter how unhappy they were, they could only endure it. They couldn't really rush to the stands and fight those fanatical fans.

Looking at Chen Hero's dejected appearance, they all shook their heads and sighed.

Friends planned to comfort him, but as soon as they entered the locker room, Chen Hero locked himself in the simple bathroom.

Everyone looked at each other.

"I say, Hero wouldn't really be affected by those fans, would he?"

"Doesn't seem like it. So many fans used to boo him at our home games, but he never looked so depressed..."

"This time is different, he was grabbed in the... uh, wasn't he?"

……

The teammates whispered in the locker room, guessing Chen Hero's situation.

Only Cassano carelessly shouted: "See, I told you they play dirty! He didn't believe me!"

Someone glared at him: "Antonio, say less at this time."

Cassano had a grinning look on his face, as if he was gloating, which was really hateful. However, that was just because others didn't understand him...

While the Napoli players were worried about the team's lagging score in the first half and Chen Hero's inexplicable slump, the bathroom door creaked open.

Everyone turned their heads at the same time as if they were electrocuted, focusing their attention there.

Chen Hero stood at the door with his hands on his hips, his stomach protruding forward, looking up and laughing: "Hahahahaha—!"

Just as everyone was at a loss, everyone's eyes were drawn to his protruding stomach... below.

There, it was standing tall and proud, stretching Chen Hero's soccer pants into a huge tent!

"There's no problem with this thing anymore! Ah ha ha ha!"

Someone was pouring water into their mouth from a water bottle, and when they heard Chen Hero's excited shout, they spat the water out of their mouth and nostrils...

The room was shocked, only Cassano laughed with him.

Sure enough, only a retard can understand the world of another retard...

During the half-time break, the Italian TV station invited guests to analyze the first half of the game and look forward to the second half.

Almost everyone mentioned Chen Hero's abnormal performance.

As for the reason...

"I think it's because Chen Hero was a little scared of Papastathopoulos after he grabbed him there..." one expert said.

"That's impossible, Chen Hero is not the kind of player who is afraid of people! We can often see him risking having his leg broken to shoot!" another expert retorted fiercely.

"What's there to be afraid of having your leg broken? I'm not afraid of having my leg broken either. If your leg is broken, it can be reattached. Aren't you afraid of having your balls grabbed?" the first expert questioned.

"Uh..." The second person immediately fell silent.

Having eliminated the dissenter, the first expert continued to talk eloquently: "So, obviously, Chen Hero has a fear of Papastathopoulos, which seriously affected his performance. Everyone can see it from the confrontation between the two in the first half... Does Napoli want to turn the game around in the second half? The hope is slim. Genoa is now in high spirits, playing at home, and leading by two goals... And what about Napoli? The coach's preparation for this game seems insufficient, and the main scorer is in very poor condition. In the second half, I think Chen Hero, who is obviously out of shape, should be replaced..."

※※※

"So... your sleepwalking performance in the first half was just because you were worried about being impotent for the rest of your life?" Mazzarri stared at Chen Hero in front of him and asked.

Chen Hero nodded, a little embarrassed: "Uh, yes..."

Laughter broke out from the players in the locker room—no one was worried about Chen Hero anymore.

Those teammates who were worried about Chen Hero before wished they had never thought so, and wanted to bang their heads on the ground—only an idiot would worry about this monster!

Mazzarri covered his face with his hands, unable to believe it.

The team was two goals behind in the first half, the counterattack was weak, and the star scorer performed poorly, just because he was worried about his bird and eggs!

"Okay, okay..." Mazzarri was very angry. "Now that your bird and eggs are fine, in the second half, Hero, in the second half, I want to see the normal you!"

Chen Hero punched his palm: "Don't worry, coach. I'm the most vengeful person!"
