Chapter 1 The Ball Goes In!

Chen Yingxiong headed the ball before Puyol, his preemptive jump a success. The two brushed past each other without colliding.

After landing, Chen Yingxiong glanced at the football that had bounced into the goal, then turned and ran toward the camera position in the corner.

"Goal... Goal!!!" the commentator roared.

"Beautiful header! Beautiful header! Puyol and Pique are helpless against Chen Yingxiong!"

"Chen Yingxiong's posture wasn't standard, even a bit awkward. He was leaning to head the ball, creating a bouncing shot that avoided Valdes... truly wonderful!"

"Napoli takes the lead on the road! Yes, you heard right! It's not the home team Barcelona leading at Camp Nou, but the visiting team Napoli!!"

Chen Yingxiong, with his arms outstretched as he sprinted toward the corner flag, really looked like a heavy bomber. Then he dove down, doing a nosedive landing, sliding all the way to the touchline before stopping.

"The Xiong-style bomber is here again!" the Italian commentator yelled.

"Aha! Air raid sirens are sounding over Camp Nou!" the Russian commentator laughed. "This is Hero's first clash with the La Liga overlords, hopefully leaving a deep impression on Barcelona!"

"Napoli's air raid tactics have achieved good results, they've ambushed Camp Nou, catching Barcelona off guard!"

The commentary box was in an uproar, everyone doing their best to make themselves heard.

Chen Yingxiong spread his arms and dove for a landing. His teammates followed suit, imitating him, diving for a landing together. It really felt like a "bomber squadron."

A group of people lay on the ground, hugging each other.

They roared excitedly.

To take the lead at Camp Nou was truly wonderful for Napoli!

"Well done, Hero! Well done!"

"If I were a woman, I'd marry you, hahaha!"

"I love you, Hero! You're so damn awesome! You jumped almost as high as the crossbar!"

"Oh oh oh oh! Let Barcelona see how powerful we are!!"

"Damn it, we were scolded like pigs before the game, now we can finally hold our heads high!"

Before the game, the media and their own fans had criticized Napoli for being too ingratiating. Now, the "humble" Napoli had finally scored an away goal, and the price paid before seemed worth it...

After getting up from the ground, Chen Yingxiong didn't forget to wave his fist at the Camp Nou fans in a show of force. When they came out, these people had laughed at them, but now their faces were full of surprise and astonishment.

On the other hand, the Napoli players were grinning, clenching their fists tightly. Where was the slightest hint of pre-match obsequiousness?

The wolves in sheep's clothing had finally shed their disguise, baring their fangs, which gleamed with cold light.

To be honest, after the game started, although Napoli had the advantage, the cheers from the stands weren't loud. It wasn't that few Napoli fans had come; ten thousand had come, six thousand had entered the stadium. If they really wanted to make some noise, it would be enough to stir up a storm at Camp Nou.

But the Napoli fans were quiet.

This was their protest against the team's low-down attitude before the game, using silence to tell the Napoli players—you want to please Barcelona, then we won't cheer for such a team, we don't acknowledge you as our Napoli!

As time went on, they gradually realized that something was wrong. The Napoli team that had been particularly ingratiating and servile before the game hadn't really shown weakness in the game. On the contrary... they were repeatedly threatening Barcelona's goal with simple attacks, showing an aggressive momentum!

This was the Napoli they knew! The Napoli that had even dared to slap the UEFA president in the face!

They hadn't changed!

At this moment, many people suddenly realized—those pre-match noises were either the Catalan media talking nonsense, or the smoke bombs released by the Napoli players...

But it seemed that the latter was more likely.

This group of people... too insidious, too shameless, too despicable!

But... we like it!

"Oh oh oh oh oh!! Napoli! Napoli! We are fearless Napoli!!" For the first time, the cheers of Napoli fans rang out from the Camp Nou stands. At this moment, they became the masters of this stadium.

Guardiola was very angry about the goal they conceded, clenching his teeth and waving his fist.

I told them, don't underestimate the enemy! Don't underestimate the enemy! Don't think that just because the opponent takes the initiative to show goodwill, you can relax! Your opponents are a bunch of unscrupulous bastards!

Now look what's happened? We're behind at home, down by a goal!

Seeing Mazzarri, who was celebrating the goal with his arms flailing, Guardiola felt a surge of anger in his heart.

This wasn't his mistake as a coach at all, but the fault of those damn kids on the field!

※※※

The Napoli players' celebrations finally ended, and they ran back to their own half with smiles on their faces.

Chen Yingxiong didn't forget to continue waving his fist at the Barcelona fans in the stands in a show of force.

Laugh! Why aren't you laughing anymore?

The Barcelona fans all had stiff expressions, they really couldn't laugh...

"This is truly incredible, Napoli actually took the lead against Barcelona at Camp Nou... Yes, taking the lead against Barcelona at Camp Nou isn't something that can be done easily... The darkest dark horse of this season's Champions League, lives up to its name!"

The commentator had to admire Napoli's performance.

"Before, everyone said that Barcelona had drawn a good opponent, but now it seems that this is not necessarily the case... Napoli is an extremely tough bone to chew on! No, they are just stones!"

The Napoli players were happy to be in the lead, while the Barcelona players were depressed to be behind.

Pique was the most depressed, because he had pulled Chen Yingxiong in the air, but he didn't expect that the other party would still head the ball, which meant that his pull didn't work at all!

"I even pulled him! Very hard!" Pique was telling his teammates about this. He felt very wronged, it wasn't that he wasn't careful in defense, nor was he not focused. This time he was fully focused...

"You should have held on, Gerard..." Puyol, after knowing that Pique had only pulled him once and then let go, regretted and was annoyed - what's the point of just pulling him once? You have to hold on tight, pull him down hard, until you pull him down from the sky!

"I was afraid that the kid would take the opportunity to fall and cheat for a penalty!" Pique's explanation was reasonable, and no one else had anything to say. Because this is the habitual thinking of many players, as long as there is physical contact in the penalty area, seven or eight out of ten will take the initiative to fall, and when they fall, they will open their arms and scream, in order to attract the attention of the referee.

Barcelona players had also done this kind of thing, so they all felt that Pique's words made sense. This kind of cheating for a penalty had to be prevented.

"That person... looks very big, his weight should not be light, even if you use more force, I think it is estimated that it is useless to him..." Harvey turned his head and looked at the Napoli players who were celebrating the goal. Among a large group of people, Chen Yingxiong was still very conspicuous, because he was big and tall.

"So heavy? Can he still jump?" Messi found it strange.

No one answered him, because the answer had just been presented to everyone. Not only could he jump, but he could jump the highest, what a pervert!

"Ah, I suddenly remembered..." Iniesta's eyes widened suddenly. "Those people's low profile before the game..."

"Damn, we were tricked!" Daniel Alves gritted his teeth, and the others also showed unpleasant expressions on their faces.

Yes, obviously, they were all tricked.

Before, they really thought that Napoli was very friendly to them, but they didn't expect it to be just a trap! This made many people feel ashamed.

Puyol spoke again: "Okay, okay, there's nothing to worry about. Isn't it just a goal? Guys, we are Barcelona! And this is our home, let's get the score back!"

"And surpass them!" Pedro added.

"That's right, surpass them! Victory!"

This is the confidence and aura of the six-crown king.

What is it to be one goal behind at home? Such a small setback cannot bring down Barcelona.

You just succeeded in angering us, you Napoli scammer clowns! You must pay a heavy price for your despicable tricks!

Before the end of the first half, Barcelona equalized the score, showing their powerful offensive power. The scorer was Pedro.

When he equalized the score for the team, huge cheers rang out at Camp Nou. At this moment, they finally felt that they were playing at home...

Mazzarri didn't say anything about conceding the goal. After all, this is Barcelona's home, and you have no reason not to let the opponent score a goal. Barcelona's strength is there, not to mention a goal, even if they win the game in the end, it is normal.

What Mazzarri valued was the away goal. Ever since Chen Yingxiong scored a goal in the game, his heart had been half at ease.

The next question was whether to defend or continue to attack.

Looking at the first half, he didn't think it made sense to start defending now, he definitely couldn't defend it.

On the other hand, the team's performance in the attack was good.

So Mazzarri decided to take a crazy risk.

Attack!

Anyway, he didn't plan to win away, as long as he could get a few more away goals, he would still have something to work with when he returned to the home court. Otherwise, it would really just be waiting for death...

During the halftime break, Mazzarri told his players his plans.

"You guys did a great job in the first half! We have an away goal, but there are still forty-five minutes left in the game. Barcelona will definitely strengthen their offensive in the second half. If we defend, I'm worried that we won't be able to hold on. Paolo, is the defensive pressure high?"

Captain Paolo Cannavaro nodded: "Very high!"

The team only conceded one goal in the first half against Barcelona, and the defense's performance was already very good. But that pressure gradually increased with the passage of time. If they continued to defend like this, Napoli's defense would collapse, and if the offense didn't improve at that time, a big loss would be the only outcome.

You must know that Napoli had severely tricked Barcelona once. They were so low-key before the game, but the result was just to make Barcelona look down on them. Barcelona, who had understood, must be very angry, so if they were allowed to play smoothly, the consequences would be unimaginable.

So now there is only one path in front of Napoli, and that is to continue to counterattack, never letting go of any opportunity to score a goal!
