Chapter 124 The Charge of the Giant Bear

After the start of the second half, Napoli took advantage of their kickoff opportunity and launched a fierce offensive, with wave after wave of attacks aimed at AC Milan's goal.

Leonardo sat on the coach's bench. He had anticipated this during the halftime break, so he specifically warned his players to stabilize their defense in the second half, and to base all attacks on a solid defense.

He believed that as long as the team paid attention, they could withstand Napoli's offensive in the opening ten minutes, and then gradually regain the initiative with their powerful strength.

Of course, he knew that Napoli had once defeated Inter Milan on the road, while Inter Milan had defeated them 4-0 on the road. But football matches are not simple math problems—given that Inter Milan defeated AC Milan 4:0, and Napoli defeated Inter Milan 2:1, therefore Napoli should defeat AC Milan 5:0.

This is wrong. Each case is different. Someone once said, "There is no logic in a single football match." Inter Milan was careless in their home game, and they were down a man and a goal from the start. AC Milan's situation was completely different. AC Milan had a full complement of players, especially their defense was in excellent condition, and they were leading by a goal. The situation was favorable to AC Milan. As long as AC Milan didn't make mistakes, winning would be normal.

Yes, as long as we don't make mistakes ourselves.

Leonardo sat on the coach's bench, crossing his legs. He carefully recalled his arrangements during the halftime break, and believed that they were foolproof. Now that even the possibility of his own mistakes was gone, the team would achieve a three-game winning streak after taking down Napoli, and his position in the team should be considered stable.

Moreover, they would be defeating Napoli on the road. Everyone knew how difficult it was to conquer Napoli's home stadium, the Stadio San Paolo. Now he was the first coach to do so this season.

For a time, the rookie coach Leonardo was complacent.

He had beautiful visions of his future coaching career.

Hamsik controlled the ball on the field. AC Milan had just launched a counterattack, but Pato's shot was blocked by Ranocchia, and the ball fell to his feet. He turned around and saw AC Milan's players retreating quickly.

These guys are retreating pretty fast... and all four of their defenders are in their defensive positions, none missing. They are clearly focused on defense.

But Napoli always has to attack. We can't just pass the ball around in the backfield because the opponent's defensive formation is intact...

Hamsik didn't pass sideways, let alone pass back. He directly sent a through ball.

The target was Chen Hero in front.

Because it was a counterattack, Chen Hero was not facing away from the direction of attack, but to the side of the goal.

He glanced back at the ball, then his legs went over the ball, letting the ball pass in front of him.

Then he dribbled the ball forward.

"This is Napoli's counterattack!"

The commentator shouted.

The Napoli fans in the stands also roared excitedly.

"Charge—"

Mazzarri saw Chen Hero dribbling the ball forward and stood up anxiously from his seat. This was a counterattack opportunity for Napoli...

Leonardo did not stand up. He just frowned slightly. Compared to Chen Hero with the ball, he was more worried about the other Napoli players, such as Arshavin and Cassano.

So he first looked for these two people.

Because it was a counterattack after defense, Arshavin, who had just retreated to defend, was still behind the midfield line at this time. And what about Cassano?

He was in the frontcourt, not far from Chen Hero, but... he was closely followed by Nesta.

Seeing that the person next to Cassano was Nesta, Leonardo breathed a sigh of relief. With Nesta's current form, Cassano would definitely not get any advantage.

He finally turned his attention to Chen Hero.

At this time, Chen Hero had already dribbled the ball five or six meters, and in front of him was another AC Milan center back, Thiago Silva. The two were about to meet!

※※※

After taking a step forward, Thiago Silva did not continue to rush up. He knew that he would easily be passed if he did that. As a center back, the most important thing was to be calm. Because behind you is the goalkeeper, and the consequence of not being calm is putting the goalkeeper in a dangerous situation.

He slowed down and began to take small steps backward, waiting for the best defensive opportunity—he was not waiting for his teammates to come and support him, he was going to handle Chen Hero alone.

This scene made the AC Milan fans' hearts rise to their throats. They thought it was very dangerous. But for Thiago Silva, it was the perfect opportunity he had been waiting for.

At this moment, in this situation, in this place, there were only him and Chen Hero.

This was exactly the stage he needed... or rather, the battlefield.

Come on, come on... Thiago Silva murmured in his heart. I want to defeat you, completely defeat you... you bastard!

Chen Hero dribbled the ball quickly, while Thiago Silva took small steps backward. The distance between the two was rapidly closing.

At a position that Thiago Silva thought was the most suitable, he stopped retreating and rushed forward suddenly.

Come on!

Let's have a showdown!

He slid towards the ball at Chen Hero's feet, a frontal tackle!

※※※

When Chen Hero was dribbling the ball, he wasn't just staring at the ball. In fact, his eyes only focused on the ball at a fixed time, that is, when his foot was about to touch the ball. He would glance at the ball to ensure the accuracy of his dribbling.

At other times, his eyes wandered around. If a device that could track his pupil movement to test his observation position was installed in Chen Hero's eyes, everyone would be able to see that his line of sight always fell around the ball, especially on Thiago Silva's legs. From the movements of his legs, he could capture some very important information for himself.

So when Thiago Silva stopped retreating and his legs paused, Chen Hero had already observed it and knew what he was going to do.

The other party was going to tackle the ball. He probably thought the time was ripe.

Chen Hero didn't know how he was going to tackle the ball, but it was very simple to get rid of him, that is... to poke the ball away in front of him!

The ball was poked by Chen Hero between Thiago Silva's legs!

At the same time, Thiago Silva's legs also tackled...

After poking the ball away, Chen Hero jumped up on the spot as if he had been electrocuted, retracted his legs, and dodged Thiago Silva's fierce frontal tackle!

He dodged the other party's legs, but he couldn't dodge Thiago Silva's body rushing towards him!

But Chen Hero didn't intend to dodge at all...

He slightly sideways, and directly bumped into him!

※※※

Thiago Silva's eyes had been fixed on the ball, so when he had just slid out, he saw that the ball had been poked away by the other party...

In that instant, he made another decision—stop him at all costs, and never let him break through!

So he simply braced his body and crashed into Chen Hero.

He thought to himself that this time he had done his best and was prepared. He had calculated, while the other party hadn't. He wouldn't end up like he did in the first half, right?

He closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and contracted his muscles, preparing to meet the impact...

※※※

The two collided violently again!

Thiago Silva fell backward, while Chen Hero was staggered by the impact. When he landed, he almost didn't stabilize himself and fell to the ground. At a critical moment, his hand supported his body, and at the same time, he used the force to rush out!

"Oh—" When the two collided, some commentators reflexively closed their eyes and let out a painful groan. It was as if he was the one who had been hit...

"A violent collision..."

Chen Hero's footsteps were staggering, but he caught up with the ball, and there were no pursuers. Because the pursuers had been taken care of by him in the collision just now—Thiago Silva was lying on the ground, unable to get up. He was hit a little hard, and his mind might still be dazed.

Chen Hero almost used his hands and feet to readjust his center of gravity and dribbled the ball into the penalty area.

The cheers in the stands were getting louder and louder, reaching their peak at this moment.

In the overwhelming climax, Chen Hero swung his right leg. He had just entered the penalty area, but he was not like Ronaldo, who would "die if he didn't dribble past the goalkeeper". He knew that he was not good at dribbling past the goalkeeper, so shooting at this time was the best choice!

"Hero—"

"Bang!"

Chen Hero's right instep fiercely hit the ball, a powerful long shot!

The ball did not fly up, but flew towards the goal along the grass.

The goalkeeper Abbiati, who had come out halfway, did not expect Chen Hero to shoot as soon as he had readjusted his center of gravity. He hastily made a diving save, but it was too late. The ball flew past his feet...

Then it plunged into the net!

"gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooL!!!"

The Napoli commentator stood up from his seat again, stretched his voice and raised his arms to shout.

※※※

In fact, from the moment the two collided, to Chen Hero shooting angrily, to the ball finally flying into the goal, the process was extremely short. The cheers of the Napoli fans were still continuing, and the ball had already flown into the goal.

It sounded as if they had known that the ball would fly into the goal...

In the huge cheers, Chen Hero ran towards the camera at the corner flag and roared at the lens with his mouth wide open.

This is the charge of the giant bear!

He really looked like an excited giant bear...

Ever since he knew that he had been rated as one of the top three best sex fantasies by a gay magazine, he didn't dare to take off his clothes to celebrate easily... Now he could only use roaring to replace his giant bear tattoo.

But it didn't matter, no one would think that such a celebration was not exciting enough, because his goal was exciting enough!

He broke through Thiago Silva's trap, and also knocked down this AC Milan's "new Maldini", and blasted the ball into the goal guarded by Abbiati.

Such a goal was enough to completely ignite the passion of the Stadio San Paolo!
