Chapter 566 If You Wish to Destroy Someone, First Make Them Go Mad (Third Update, Sorry)

The police arrived, and things became easier. The assembled fans left under police pressure. Since there was only a verbal conflict, and no further physical altercations, no one was arrested. With the police's help, Chen Yingxiong and Cabrara finally drove away from the training base, and as soon as they left, the fans naturally dispersed.

Those other players who had been blocked outside were also able to go home.

The reporters left even more satisfied, clutching the photos they had taken, as well as the videos and audio recordings.

Perez was the most pleased of all. Even the police had been called, so the impact of this matter was bound to be significant, and it definitely wouldn't calm down in just a day or two. Moreover, what he had obtained today was enough to keep this storm raging for a long time, even until the night before the Champions League final.

On the way back to the hotel, he was already composing drafts in his mind, thinking about how to embellish the story.

Hmm, what should the headline be?

"Chen Yingxiong Breaks with Napoli Fans"?

That seemed a bit too ordinary, not impactful enough…

"Large-Scale Conflict Erupts at Napoli Training Base, Chen Yingxiong and Fans Become Sworn Enemies!"

This was a bit stronger than the previous one…

"Those Whom the Gods Wish to Destroy, They First Make Mad!"

This was good! Haha, this was good!!

On the way back, Cabrara criticized Chen Yingxiong's impulsiveness and recklessness just now as she drove.

"That was too dangerous, Mr. Chen. If someone had a gun, you would have been dead countless times!" Her tone wasn't strong, she said coldly, but her aura was full of power. "I hope you don't always put yourself in such dangerous situations, as it will increase my workload!"

Chen Yingxiong chuckled. He also felt that he had only cared about showing off, making Cabrara's job a bit difficult…

"Thank you, Christine."

Chen Yingxiong's words surprised Cabrara. She originally thought that Chen Yingxiong would retort after she said these words.

Unexpectedly, he said it directly like this, and she didn't know what to say next.

In the end, she could only sigh. Anyway, this job would end when he transferred away from Napoli, or when the Champions League final was over. At most, it would be less than a month.

Even if she worked a little harder, it would only be for this short period of time.

Hearing Cabrara's faint sigh, Chen Yingxiong turned his gaze to the rearview mirror and saw Cabrara's heroic face inside.

"Come to England with me, Christine."

These words popped out of Chen Yingxiong's mouth without any warning. Cabrara was so startled that she almost swerved the car into the median strip…

"I don't understand, Mr. Chen." After finally calming down, Cabrara continued to answer in her calm tone, as if the car had not deviated in any direction just now.

"I mean… uh… this…" In fact, Chen Yingxiong wasn't the kind of person who became tongue-tied and bad at words when he saw a woman. He was much better than the average person. He had no problem making girls happy. But for some reason, when he faced Cabrara, he didn't know how to say some things. This seemed to be a sequela left over from that shoulder throw back then.

Just as he was stammering, he suddenly thought of what to say… "Uh, that… I just feel a little unaccustomed to going to England alone…"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen. I am your bodyguard." Cabrara said, gripping the steering wheel tightly. If she didn't, she was really afraid that the car would drive into the roadside railing. "In England, you shouldn't need a bodyguard."

She felt like she had heard some hidden meanings, but reason told her that it was best to ignore those hidden meanings.

"Who can say for sure? Just like no one would have thought that in Napoli, I would need a bodyguard…"

Cabrara suddenly thought of Chen Yingxiong slapping the fans in the face just so she would stay…

"You're not planning on deliberately causing trouble with Liverpool fans, are you?" She was a little nervous, and her concern accidentally leaked out a little.

The corner of Chen Yingxiong's mouth twitched. "How is that possible? I wouldn't be stupid enough to do that…" He shrugged.

But he didn't know that Cabrara had really put him in the category of "someone who would be stupid enough to do that" in her heart.

"My contract ends in June, Mr. Chen." Cabrara rejected Chen Yingxiong's invitation.

Chen Yingxiong clicked his tongue, not knowing how to persuade this stubborn woman…

※※※

While Chen Yingxiong was trying to persuade Cabrara to go to England with him, Napoli club owner Aurelio De Laurentiis had also received a call. The club's manager, Bigon, told De Laurentiis everything, even repeating Chen Yingxiong's words.

"He really said that?" De Laurentiis asked after listening to Bigon's retelling.

"Yes. It is said that the fans were already crazy at the time…" Bigon said with lingering fear. His father had led Maradona's Napoli to win the league title, so he knew very well Maradona's status in the hearts of Napoli fans.

Chen Yingxiong's direct provocation of the fans was very lucky that he wasn't dragged out of the car and beaten…

De Laurentiis laughed. "Haha, that kid…" There was no blame in his tone at all.

Of course, Bigon called the boss not simply to report this matter. This matter was just a component of the recent major event.

"The media are contacting us, wanting to confirm the transaction between us and Liverpool…"

"Remain silent, and wait until this matter is over before saying anything. I heard that Liverpool will be sending someone over soon?" De Laurentiis asked.

"Yes, it was originally supposed to be tomorrow, but I just received a notice that they will arrive this afternoon."

"They are really afraid that we will be under too much pressure and will go back on our word." De Laurentiis understood why Liverpool was rushing over so anxiously.

"Then we…"

"Follow the original plan." De Laurentiis gave instructions.

After reporting the official business, Bigon thought of the worries that coach Mazzarri had just complained to him about. So he told Laurentiis about Mazzarri's worries.

"Tell the team not to be affected by this matter. If it really doesn't work, then have closed training. As for Yingxiong… I don't think such a small matter can throw him into chaos. When he first joined Napoli, he was in a hostile mood from the home fans for most of the season, but I don't think he was defeated, so Mazzarri doesn't need to worry about him."

What happened outside the Volturno Fort training base parking lot was on many TV news programs that night.

Not only in Italy, but also in England, Spain, France, Germany, Russia, and even China, which is thousands of miles away, sports news mentioned this matter.

This matter is now known all over the world.

Hernandez Garcia Perez's plan went perfectly. He believed that after one night, more media would flock to surround Napoli. Like flies, buzzing around them, they would not be embarrassed to call themselves "reporters" until they drove Napoli crazy!

"At the Volturno Fort training base during the day today, a very rare internal conflict occurred… Napoli's top scorer, the hottest star today, Chen Yingxiong, had a fierce conflict with Napoli fans. He was surrounded by hundreds of fans and unable to escape…"

"…It is reported that the reason was the rumor that Chen Yingxiong was leaving Napoli to join Liverpool. The fans went to Chen Yingxiong to verify the truth of the rumor. Then Chen Yingxiong seemed to say some sensitive things…"

"…'Because I want to prove to you that Napoli can do it without Maradona! Without Maradona, Napoli can definitely do better!… I said that only by forgetting Maradona can Napoli go further. Now, I've done it!… Maradona is your God, but he's not mine… You like to indulge in the drugs of the past, but I don't! I want to create a future that belongs to me, and I don't want to live in anyone's shadow, even if that shadow is the "King of Football"!…' The above is Chen Yingxiong's statement in this conflict… I really don't know what to say, should I praise Chen Yingxiong for having guts? Or should I sweat for his last moments in Napoli?"

"…Chen Yingxiong's crazy performance in the Champions League has made him inflate himself to an ignorant level. This is definitely not the quality that an excellent star should have! Provoking Maradona again and again in front of Napoli fans is not a wise move…"

"Some people think Chen Yingxiong is too arrogant and arrogant, but I don't think so. I think what he said is right. In the past twenty years, Napoli has always been immersed in the beautiful dream of the Maradona era, and the only thing they are proud of is the Maradona era. But can recalling the beauty of the past allow Napoli to rise again? No! Only by temporarily forgetting Maradona and doing the current things in a down-to-earth manner can Napoli be revived… Facts have proved Chen Yingxiong's correctness. This Napoli has surpassed the achievements of the Maradona era, and this achievement has no help from Maradona…"

※※※

"…The attitude of Napoli fans towards Chen Yingxiong is ultimately the fuse that led him to decide to leave. I don't know what the Napoli fans are feeling at this moment? Anger or regret? If they had treated Chen Yingxiong more tolerantly and generously, maybe today would not have been such a result? He originally had the opportunity to surpass Maradona here…"

The host on the TV was analyzing the events that happened at the Napoli training base today.

However, someone outside the TV didn't buy it.

"Bullshit! What you said is bullshit!"

"Only a ghost would regret it! I regret joining the Blue Giant! I even cheered for him!"

Someone made an umbrella gesture at the TV. This gesture in Italy is basically similar to flipping the middle finger.

In Scania Karl's "Dassobino" pizza shop, the "Blue Giant" is experiencing the biggest crisis since its establishment.

They had infighting!

"You can quit if you regret it! No one is forcing you here, stop saying strange things here!" Someone accused the person who said they regretted joining the organization. "It's normal for players to transfer away. If you really like him, you should bless him! This is what a true fan should do!"

"I don't like him at all now! That traitor! He deceived my feelings!"

"What's wrong with Yingxiong? I think what he said is right! If it weren't for those extreme fans who always targeted him, how could he want to leave? Don't the fans have any faults at all?!"

"Extreme fans are extreme fans, but when he said that about Diego, where did he put us fans who like Diego and Napoli?"

"Actually, I think what he said is right… In recent years, I haven't been able to think of Diego very much… Of course, I still admire Diego. But this current Napoli is not relying on Diego's help. Their achievements are the result of their own efforts. Yingxiong's meaning also makes sense. We have to look forward and can't always think about how it was in the past. What's the use of how it was in the past?"

"Antonio, stop pretending to be profound! He's looking down on Diego! Looking down on Diego is looking down on Napoli!"

"Don't randomly put hats on people, Andrella! Did Napoli come first, or did Diego come first? It's as if there would be no Napoli without Diego! You can go back and ask your father, your grandfather, didn't they like Napoli before there was Diego?!"

Seeing the quarrel getting more and more intense, Andrea Bosch, who had been silent all along, stood up: "Let me state my position."

Hearing him say this, the pizza shop quieted down. Bosch was the head of the "Blue Giant", and everyone listened to him.

"What I love is the Napoli team, not a certain person. Because Napoli is my hometown, and it's my hometown's team. A star, even the "King of Football", can't play football here for a lifetime, but the Napoli football team has existed for more than a hundred years. I like this team not because this team has world superstars or "Kings of Football", but simply because it is my hometown team, because I am a Neapolitan. I don't care whether Yingxiong is disrespectful to Diego or whether he is a traitor for leaving Napoli. I only care that when he played for Napoli, he brought us many goals and victories, and gave us many wonderful weekends. That's enough. Those who want to leave can leave. Because even if they don't leave now, the "Blue Giant" will disband after this season is over!"

Hearing him say this, the people around him were shocked.

"Andrea?"

"What are you…"

Andrea Bosch smiled bitterly: "The "Blue Giant" was originally created to support Yingxiong. If Yingxiong is no longer here, what reason do we have to continue to exist? So… everyone doesn't need to say anything, I have already made this decision just now. Thank you very much for your support for me and for the Blue Giant. But!" He suddenly raised his voice.

"But, from now until the end of the season, there are three games left, two league games and one Champions League final. This is the last performance of the Blue Giant in the stands. I hope that those who stay must work hard to stand guard until the very end. Yingxiong said that in order to express his gratitude to us, he will work hard to win the championship to repay us. He is fighting for Napoli's honor, and for the championship dream that we have always dreamed of. In that case, in the final battle, we have no reason, nor should we let him face the enemy alone! Because we are the Blue Giant! We are Napoli's heroic fans! We want to fight alongside him! As long as he is still a Napoli player!"

He looked at his partners around him with a serious expression.

"Scania, please help us make a new banner. The Blue Giant must use practical actions to express its support for Yingxiong!" He turned to look at the owner of the pizza shop.

Scania Karl smiled and nodded: "No problem, Andrea, leave it to me, don't worry!"

Returning a smile to the pizza shop owner, Bosch looked at everyone again: "I have finished speaking, whoever wants to leave, please." He pointed to the door of the pizza shop.
