Chapter 30 History is Made

After scoring, Chen Hero was happy that he finally tasted the sweetness of off-ball movement, unaware that he had become a part of history.

The commentators were very excited: "Hero! Hero! Thirtieth goal! He scored his thirtieth goal of the season!"

"God! Thirtieth goal!"

"A very beautiful goal!"

In fact, this goal could not be rated as "very beautiful" at all, and can even be said to be mediocre.

But the significance is extraordinary, so naturally the goal also became beautiful.

How many players can score thirty goals in a season? Before Chen Hero, only Luca Toni had been able to do it in fifty-seven years.

But how old was Luca Toni? How old is Chen Hero?

Chen Hero is less than twenty-two years old, and this season is his second season in Serie A.

Logically speaking, rookies should have a "rookie wall" or something.

This is a situation that many young players encounter. They perform well in the first year, but inexplicably can't find their form in the second year and decline sharply.

Because so many people have encountered this situation, the "rookie wall" is regarded as a "law" in sports competitions.

But on Chen Hero, you can't see the impact of the rookie wall at all. If there really is a rookie wall, then Chen Hero has knocked it down...

Thirty goals!

Thirty goals.

Don't think that this is just a simple list of numbers. Thirty goals seem not many, much better than three hundred or three thousand. But how many games are there in a league season? Serie A has thirty-eight games, and he scored thirty goals, which is almost one goal per game.

Many forwards may never score thirty league goals in a single season in their lifetime. Even for those top shooters, more than twenty goals in a season is considered a very good performance. Chen Hero is only twenty-one years old, but he has already scored thirty goals in a single season in Serie A, the league with the strongest defense. So what shocking performances will he have in the future?

So you can completely imagine how excited those commentators and reporters are.

Especially Chinese reporters.

They are already accustomed to Chen Hero winning the Golden Boot. As for excitement, in the last round of last season, he reversed Ibrahimović to win the league's Golden Boot. Many Chinese reporters at the scene even burst into tears. Weren't they excited? They were extremely excited.

They originally thought that Hero being able to do this was already very remarkable. Who would have thought... who would have thought that after a season, Chen Hero would not only defend the league's Golden Boot, but also score thirty goals. The second such person in fifty-eight years will be remembered no matter how long it takes in the future.

And such a powerful person is actually Chinese!

The sense of pride is beyond words.

※※※

Chen Hero scored his thirtieth goal in the game, widening the gap between himself and Di Natale to two goals again.

He knew very well that widening the gap to two goals might not be considered safe. Di Natale has been tenacious for a season. There is no reason for him to be discouraged in this last game. Maybe he will be even more energetic than before?

A brace? A hat trick?

These are not impossible.

So the best countermeasure is to strike first!

He already scored a brace, so a hat trick is not far away, right?

His teammates rushed up to celebrate Chen Hero's thirtieth goal, and everyone was patting him on the head and cheering.

Chen Hero said to his teammates: "I still want to score, so everyone has to pass the ball to me!"

"You want a hat trick?" Someone in the team asked in surprise.

"Yes! A hat trick!"

※※※

"Chen Hero, who scored a brace and his thirtieth goal of the season, has no intention of stopping..." The commentator said, looking at Chen Hero running back and forth on the field. "As a forward, regardless of his shooting skills, at least he already has one of the great qualities, that is—always maintain a thirst for goals!"

Chen Hero still turned and shot when he was surrounded by three people in the penalty area. Although it was a bit reluctant and went wide of the goal, this shot still made Sampdoria's goalkeeper make a save and break out in a cold sweat.

Chen Hero, who was about to get up, saw that the ball didn't go in, and threw himself on the ground, hammering the ground with both fists. His frustration was evident.

In fact, this ball was very difficult, and it was normal if it didn't go in.

But Chen Hero was still so frustrated, which shows how much he is pursuing goals now. He doesn't care whether the difficulty is high or not, anyway, not scoring a goal is worthy of such anger.

Now Chen Hero is like a hungry bear, waking up from hibernation, eager to catch some prey to fill his stomach.

※※※

Di Natale is also pursuing goals, just like Chen Hero. He has not scored since the start of the second half. Will the gap between him and Chen Hero still be one goal? He is not sure, but his intuition tells him. That bear-like center forward will not only score one goal, because before, he scored several, and he scored several, biting him very tightly. It would be embarrassing if he was overtaken in this last round.

So that Chen Hero will definitely do his best to score goals in the game.

How can one goal satisfy him?

Di Natale doesn't know how many goals the opponent has scored in this game. Only scoring one goal is the best result, and it is not uncommon for him to score two or three. All he can do is not care how many goals the opponent has scored, and try his best to score goals himself.

※※※

Both sides were trying their best to score goals, and Chen Hero was still the first to score.

"Hat! Hat! Hat trick!!"

The commentator shouted excitedly.

In his shouts, Chen Hero spread his arms and cheered. Under the gaze of tens of thousands of fans, he punched the sky and then opened his mouth and roared.

Three goals, thirty-one goals, he tied Luca Toni's goal record. He also almost locked in the league's Golden Boot. He didn't believe that Di Natale could still "I score as many as he scores"!

"Thirty-one goals! He tied Luca Toni! It's unbelievable! He won't be twenty-two years old for another half a month... Chen Hero has already done things that many people can't do until they are thirty-two! Thirty-one goals! How many goals does Di Natale have? Twenty-eight, the gap between the two sides is already three goals, and this gap is probably difficult to catch up... If Di Natale wants to overtake Chen Hero to win the Golden Boot, he will probably have to score three more goals in the next game... But this is too difficult for him!"

"Okay, we can already announce in advance that Hero is the Serie A Golden Boot winner this season! He has retained this honor!" Liu Jianhong shouted excitedly. "He is the pride of our Chinese football! He has retained the Serie A Golden Boot! He has done something that no one has done in sixteen years!"

While many commentators were rushing to express their respect and praise to Chen Hero, Chen Hero was surrounded by his teammates.

Winning this game and also winning the league's Golden Boot, winning the Golden Boot for two consecutive seasons, this is indeed a remarkable achievement. And such an achievement appeared on his own teammate. As his teammates, the Napoli players were naturally very happy.

After all, no matter what, such an awesome shooter is their teammate, not their opponent. This alone is enough to make them feel happy...

Think about what Chen Hero said at the Serie A Oscar awards ceremony.

He used good performance to repay his colleagues for their evaluation of him, but this made his opponents feel headache...

※※※

Napoli beat Sampdoria 3:0 away from home, and Sampdoria was beaten without any temper—when you meet a Chen Hero who is determined to score goals, you really can only have no temper.

You even have to applaud this person's outstanding performance. Because he is really excellent. He is only twenty-one years old and has such a performance. If he is more mature, if his shooting style can be more diversified, if his shooting skills can be more accurate, if his chance-catching ability can be stronger, if his mentality can be more mature... It is simply unimaginable what level this kid will reach in the future!

Anyway, even if they win this game, they will not be able to qualify for the Champions League, and losing this game will not cause them to lose their UEFA Cup qualification.

So…

Sampdoria admitted defeat.

※※※

Sampdoria admitted defeat, but Lazio did not. Now the game is in the second half, and Lazio is already leading 3:1 on the score. Udinese fans were only happy for a while.

It wasn't until five minutes before the end of the game that Di Natale used the laxity of Lazio's defenders to score a goal, but it was too late, and the team's fate of defeat was irreversible.

And what about himself?

After scoring the goal, Di Natale rushed to the sidelines. His teammates chased after him, thinking he was going to celebrate the goal, but he asked the assistant coach: "What's the situation over there?"

He still cares about this personal honor.

The assistant coach shook his head at him helplessly: "I'm sorry, Antonio. Hero has a hat trick..."

Di Natale opened his mouth and froze for a moment.

There are still five minutes left in the game. The opponent's hat trick means that if he wants to win the Golden Boot, he has to score at least two more goals to share this honor with Chen Hero. If he wants to enjoy it alone, he has to score three more goals...

This is obviously impossible to do.

The teammates who came up to celebrate the goal also heard the news. For a while, the smiles froze on their faces, and they didn't know what to do.

Di Natale was the first to react. He turned and said to his teammates: "Thank you everyone, thank you for practicing with me, but it's a pity..." He shrugged, "Our opponent is too strong."

These words were said with regret, but they were also a heartfelt conviction. Chen Hero is indeed too strong. At the age of twenty-one, he scored thirty-one goals in a single season in Serie A and won the Golden Boot for two consecutive seasons.

If this is not strong, who would dare to say that they are strong?

Some teammates were still not convinced. Looking at these teammates, Di Natale nodded: "Okay, we will continue to fight until the end of the game!"

A group of people cheered and cheered for the captain.

Only Di Natale knew that no matter how hard he tried, it was impossible to reverse Chen Hero. Because he is not Chen Hero, and it is impossible to stage a four-goal performance in the last round, and snatch Ibrahimović's league Golden Boot in an astonishing way.

But he really went to fight, trying not to let go of every possible goal-scoring opportunity.

But he still failed to score another goal.

Until the end of the game, the score was fixed at 3:2, Lazio won at home, and Di Natale was the runner-up in the league's top scorer list.
