Chapter 1325 Ibrahimovic's Troubles and Sister-in-Law's Wish (Fourth Update Seeking Monthly Tickets)
"...In the 1927-1928 season, Dixie Dean, playing for Everton, set a great record of sixty goals in a single season. Of course, the defense at that time was not as tight as it is now... But it is still a remarkable record! An even more remarkable scene has appeared. Now that the defense is becoming more and more stringent, someone has suddenly emerged to shake Dean's record... You know, when Dean set this record, many people said that it was impossible to break it. The best result after that was only forty-nine goals in a single season. But with the appearance of Chen Hero, everything has changed dramatically..."
"Last season, Hero had already surpassed the original record of forty-nine goals and achieved a great result of fifty-seven goals. Only three goals away from Dixie Dean's glorious record. At that time, many people felt that Chen Hero had missed an opportunity to make history, and he probably wouldn't have such a good opportunity to surpass his great predecessors in his entire career... Who would have thought that in the second season, he would once again be on the road to creating history!"
"...It's really exciting! We will likely witness the birth of a history! We will have the capital to brag about in the future... We can tell our grandchildren - when Chen Hero set the best historical record, your grandpa watched the live broadcast of that game!"
...
These days, not only the English media, but even the Italian media are reporting extensively on the possibility that Chen Hero will break the single-season goal record set by Dixie Dean eighty-seven years ago.
If you look for those articles, all of them are praising Chen Hero, touting Chen Hero, and singing praises for Chen Hero.
Some of the words used are so nauseatingly flattering that normal people can't stand it.
Ibrahimovic can't stand it even more.
These days, the damn name "Chen Hero" has been filling the world around him, making him very unhappy.
He knows that this is because Liverpool is playing AC Milan in the Champions League semi-finals, and it is a media hype.
But the two sides participating in this game are two teams, not just one Liverpool, but also our AC Milan!
How the hell can you only mention one person and not the other?
I, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, am not as good as that Chen Hero in any way? You praise him so nauseatingly, where do you put me?
Ibrahimovic hadn't heard Chen Hero's name for a long time. Chen Hero had completely disappeared from his life—it's not that Chen Hero didn't have media attention, but in the Milan media, there were much fewer mentions of Chen Hero, and no one ran up to him with a microphone all day long to ask him stupid questions like, "Who do you think is better, you or Hero?" So, naturally, he hadn't heard that name for a long time.
Since Chen Hero transferred from that Napoli to Liverpool, Ibrahimovic's life has become more and more comfortable.
As the number one star in Serie A, he is the well-deserved symbol of a team. In La Liga, there are Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, and in Serie A, there is always him, Ibrahimovic. People here follow his lead and compare him to the two perverts in La Liga.
Serie A Best Player, Serie A Top Scorer, Serie A Best Foreign Player... Ibrahimovic's hands are sore from winning these awards.
No more damn Chen Hero running up in the last round to snatch his top scorer honors, and no more Chen Hero coming to disgust him at the Serie A Oscar awards ceremony.
When facing Napoli, he can also use his excellent performance to give Cavani a good lesson and tell him what a top striker's performance is like, without worrying about that bastard sweeping his face.
These days are very comfortable, very comfortable.
He hopes that such days will continue until he gets tired of it.
AC Milan has not met Liverpool in these years, and Ibrahimovic naturally does not have to face the guy who makes him feel disgusted.
Not to mention being compared with him by the media.
But the good days are over, AC Milan drew Liverpool in the Champions League semi-finals...
The contest and comparison between the two top strikers inevitably appeared.
Ibrahimovic has seen some articles in the media these days that compare him with Chen Hero.
The final result naturally made him very unhappy. Everyone unanimously favored Chen Hero.
Especially recently, Chen Hero is expected to break the single-season sixty-goal record set by Dixie Dean, which has made his momentum hyped by the media to its peak. For a time, the entire Italy was filled with Chen Hero's name. As long as you turn on the TV, open the newspaper, or even go online, you can see Chen Hero's photos and name.
This made it impossible for Ibrahimovic to avoid it. Even if he closed his eyes, reporters would run up to him and ask him, "Excuse me, Mr. Ibrahimovic, what are your thoughts on Chen Hero's possibility of breaking Dixie Dean's record?"
What are your thoughts? What are your thoughts!
Thoughts your sister! Don't you know that I don't get along with him? Or are you here to make fun of me?
AC Milan's main striker was extremely sad and indignant, and could only roll his eyes to show his dissatisfaction with this question.
But he still couldn't stop everyone from talking about Chen Hero.
Who asked Chen Hero's performance to be so perverted?
If Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are two perverts, then according to the media, Chen Hero is at least a super pervert.
The number of league goals in two consecutive seasons is more than fifty...
When he was at Zenit Saint Petersburg, the top scorer in the Russian Super League was his. Later, he came to Napoli, and the Serie A Golden Boot has never been won by another player. He went to the Premier League, and the Premier League Golden Boot competition became the least suspenseful thing.
Scoring goals is as simple and natural to him as breathing.
How could the media ignore such a super striker?
In fact, the media has always mentioned Chen Hero's name, but it has nothing to do with AC Milan, so if Ibrahimovic doesn't want to pay attention to it, he can pretend that he can't see or hear it, so that the damn annoying name will not disturb him in life.
Now, because the two teams are about to meet in the Champions League semi-finals, Ibrahimovic can no longer pretend to turn a blind eye.
Even in Milan's tactical class, the content of letting everyone watch Chen Hero's game video was arranged.
This is mainly for the defenders to see, so that they know how to defend Chen Hero.
※※※
Ibrahimovic sat in the conference room, absent-mindedly distracted. He didn't want to understand or watch Chen Hero's performance. Seeing him scoring one goal after another only made him feel sick. Listening to coach Allegri making many comments on Chen Hero such as "He is very dangerous", "He is very powerful", "He is difficult to deal with"... he felt upset. But he couldn't stand up to refute the coach's statement, so he simply went into a trance, it was better not to see, not to worry, and not to hear.
Unlike Ibrahimovic, Thiago Silva watched the projected screen very intently, listening to the coach's explanation.
Now he has grown into one of the best center backs in the world, and if he had fewer injuries, he could remove the word "one of".
But a healthy Thiago Silva is definitely a nightmare for all strikers.
The young center back who was still a little immature when he first arrived in Serie A has disappeared.
All this is actually because of Chen Hero...
If Chen Hero hadn't abused Silva again and again, how could Silva have made such great progress?
Some defenders lost confidence and their condition plummeted after facing Chen Hero.
Some defenders, after seeing Chen Hero's awesomeness, instead developed infinite fighting spirit and wanted to defeat him. To this end, they constantly worked hard to train and improve themselves.
Thiago Silva belongs to the latter.
Unfortunately, before Silva could fully mature, Chen Hero transferred and left Napoli, leaving Silva without the opportunity to continue to learn from him and defeat him.
Now, finally there is such a good opportunity, Silva is happy in his heart, but he does not show it, he is still very calm.
As a center back, the most important thing is to be calm and composed, and to avoid being carried away and too excited.
Forwards can be as hot as fire, but center backs must be as cold as stone.
He carefully watched the video of Chen Hero's game that had been edited by the coaching staff.
Over the years, he has made great progress, and he doesn't believe that Chen Hero will still be standing still.
So, he wants to understand what progress Chen Hero has made in these years.
He is more comprehensive than before...
Thiago Silva sighed in his heart while watching the game video.
A comprehensive striker like Chen Hero is definitely a nightmare for all defenders.
Thiago Silva wants to challenge this nightmare.
He secretly clenched his fists below.

When the plane carrying the entire AC Milan team landed at John Lennon Airport, the atmosphere of the Champions League semi-final was getting hotter and hotter.
The first gift they received after arriving in Liverpool was Chen Hero's arrogant provocation.
"AC Milan? I'm a little unfamiliar with them, because we haven't met for several years. I don't have any special opinions about them. We often played against each other in Serie A, and I was the winner most of the time. I don't think there will be any difference this time... Ibrahimovic? I'm happy for him, because after I left Serie A, he can finally get the Serie A top scorer, which is really not easy!"
The reporters who interviewed Chen Hero laughed.
Ibrahimovic, who heard this, was furious.

ps, Note: "Didi" (弟媳) is a nickname given to Thiago Silva by Chinese fans, taking the homonym of the first character combination of his name. It is mainly used here to avoid the title from being too long... It has no other meaning.
