Chapter 498 His Enemy, My Hero
In the end, with Chen Yingxiong's two goals, Naples ushered in their first victory of the new season at their home court. They defeated Barry 3:2.

Contrary to what the commentator said, after Naples led by two goals in the first half, there was no suspense to kill the game. Instead, Barry broke out suddenly and scored two consecutive goals in the second half.It forced Naples into a scramble. Fortunately, in the 806th minute, captain Paulo Cannavaro took advantage of a corner kick and pierced Barry's goal with his head, allowing Naples' unbeaten record at home in the league to be maintained...

After the league match with Barry, there was nothing wrong with Chen Yingxiong, because Naples ushered in their first opponent in the Champions League group stage.

※ ※ ※

The UEFA Champions League group stage is here, and the new season of the UEFA Champions League has officially kicked off.

This match was the same as the previous two qualifying matches, and had nothing to do with Chen Yingxiong.But he still came to the scene to watch the game.

This is also Naples' first Champions League group match after Chen Yingxiong missed the game, and all aspects are actually very concerned.

Whether Naples without Chen Yingxiong can stand out from the group of death, and whether Naples' offensive firepower will be damaged without Chen Yingxiong, these are questions that everyone wants to know the answer to.

This first strong dialogue with Valencia may be able to provide some reference for everyone.

Naples did not have Chen Yingxiong, and Valencia did not have Villa.Both sides are missing the biggest scorer.

As a result, the two sides drew a goalless draw in this game, and no one was able to score.Naples was tied 0:0 by Valencia at home.

Raul started the game and played nine 10 minutes, but his performance did not meet people's expectations.

After the game, the criticism of Raul rang out.Many people think that Raul is really old, no wonder he can't play the main force in Real Madrid.In the past, Raul was famous for his inspiration in front of the goal. That kind of smart playing style fascinated many people.What about Raul now?Absolutely no spirit.

What else does Raul who has lost his aura have?
He himself is not good at speed, nor is he a natural madman, let alone strong, and his skill in picking up leaks in front of the door is not as good as Inzaghi... It seems that he has a little ability in all aspects, but he is not good.If he lost even the most basic aura, he would be just an ordinary player.

Mazari wanted to put the team's fate in the Champions League on Raul, which was clearly a failed gamble and was doomed.

But in fact, the performance of the whole team in that game was very average. Naples still seemed not able to get used to the lack of Chen Yingxiong’s way of playing football—Chen Yingxiong missed two games in the new season. arrive.In the first round of the league, Chen Yingxiong was absent, and the team drew 1:1 with Fiorentina in the away game.

But the media and fans don't care so much.

Blaming one person for the reason for not winning is obviously simpler than analyzing why the whole team performed poorly, and it is easier to be accepted and understood.

So Raul thus became a scapegoat.

These voices came overwhelmingly, as if the team was tied by Valencia and Raul was all responsible.

Chen Yingxiong also heard and saw these voices.He was a little worried that Raul would not be able to withstand it. After all, a new player just transferred to a new team and faced such a lot of criticism. The pressure was not insignificant.If the team wants to perform well in the Champions League group stage and advance to the knockout rounds, Raul is definitely an important role, which coach Mazari has told them many times.

So he wanted to talk to Raul to help him relieve the pressure.Chen Yingxiong thinks that he is quite suitable for this kind of work.

He is not the captain of the team, but he will take the initiative to do this kind of thing. This is the self-consciousness and role of the locker room leader.Why would he think of doing such a thing?Because he feels that he is an old teammate of Naples for Raul. He has been here for two seasons, and he is like a senior of Raul. As a senior, he is naturally qualified and has the idea to say something to his new teammates.Just like what Hamsik and Paul Cannavaro did to him when he first entered the team.

It never occurred to him that Raul was a veteran 11 years older than himself, and he had no such concept at all.

But what if two people do not understand the language?

Raul speaks Spanish, and Chen Yingxiong speaks Italian. Although Italian and Spanish are actually very close, there are sayings that the degree of similarity between the two languages ​​is just like China's rumors.

The problem is that the Italian spoken in Naples is Italian with a strong southern Italian accent.To put it bluntly, it is the dialect of Italy.

So who knows what dialects and dialects exactly are related to Spanish and Italian in Naples.It would be easier to speak Henan dialect and Shandong dialect.But if it is the gap between Hakka dialect and BJ dialect...

Anyway, Raul is currently working hard to learn Italian with a Naples accent. He usually doesn't communicate much with his teammates in the locker room. He just relies on a smile to express his kindness.And really didn't fight for power in the locker room, trying to be the boss of the ball.

Although Spanish and Italian can be communicated, Chen Yingxiong is afraid that his words will not convey the meaning, and the other party may not be able to understand it, which may cause misunderstandings, so he came to an interpreter.

※ ※ ※

"Alex." After the training, Chen Yingxiong waved to Sanchez.

"What's the matter, hero?" As a member of the Eat, Drink and Play Orchestra, the deputy head's call cannot be neglected, and Sanchez hurried over.

"Help me be an interpreter."

When Chen Yingxiong said this, Sanchez knew what he was going to do. "You want to chat with Raul?" he asked.

These days, if anyone on the team wants to talk to Raúl, they turn to Sanchez as an interpreter.Raul is also the captain of the wealthy Real Madrid. He knows Real Madrid very well. A group of local turtles in Naples are always full of curiosity and yearning for the life of the wealthy. Naturally, they also want to hear the gossip of the wealthy...

Chen Yingxiong nodded.

"Okay, when?"

"Right now!"

※ ※ ※

While Raúl was showering in the bathroom in the dressing room, there was a loud commotion outside and the rest of the Napoli players came back.These guys are always loud together, so the locker room is very lively.The only time they can calm down is before the game, when the atmosphere in the locker room is tense and serious.

The hot water was poured from Raul's head until it was poured down, gathered into a stream, and flowed to the entrance of the floor drain.

Naples' locker room at the training base is relatively simple, with only showers and no pool for bathing.

In the dressing room of Real Madrid, there are not only hot spring water gauges with electric massage function, but also luxurious leather reclining chairs and TV sets. Players can even enjoy TV programs while taking a bath.

Accustomed to the luxurious training facilities of Real Madrid, when he first arrived in Naples, Raul was still not used to it.

Chen Yingxiong and Sanchez walked in without their clothes on, saw Raul taking a shower alone under the nozzle, they looked at each other, and then walked over.

Sanchez stands under the nozzle on the left of Raul, and Chen Yingxiong stands on the right of Raul.

Two people sandwiched Raul in the middle.

When Raul saw two teammates coming to take a shower, he smiled at them and greeted them in the Italian he had just learned.

"Yes, hero. Yes, Alex."

"Hello, Raul." Because Sanchez can speak Spanish, he is currently the closest person in the team to Raul. They have become friends—Cassano is still training alone, usually They rarely come to the team, so Raul and Cassano don't meet much, and there is no chance to catch up.

"Hi, Raul." Chen Yingxiong said.Then after getting his whole body wet, he pretended to ask unintentionally, "Are you still used to it in Naples?"

This sentence was translated by Sanchez.

"It's nothing that I'm not used to. Spain and Italy have something in common and I've had a good time."

Raul joined the team for more than three months, and no one has seen him complain about anything.He had no complaints, not even the nasty chaos of Naples traffic.It doesn't look at all that he used to be the prince of the Bernabéu, and he came from a wealthy family like Real Madrid. He is really low-key.However, Chen Yingxiong interpreted Raul's low profile as depression...

"When will you move?" Chen Yingxiong asked again.

"It's just around the corner. Don't worry, when the time comes, I'll definitely invite everyone to visit me." Raul laughed.

"Then what... I watched that game, don't listen to the nonsense of those media, it is definitely not your responsibility for not winning..."

Chen Yingxiong began to enlighten Raul in a serious manner. He had never done this job before, because he was not the captain, and it was not his turn to do this kind of thing.However, Raul's performance and state directly affect Naples' performance in the Champions League. It determines whether Naples can qualify for the group stage, and also determines whether Chen Yingxiong can get the top scorer in the Champions League this season.

Since it was his first time doing it and he had no experience, he couldn't even speak smoothly.

Raul laughed as he listened.

He understood the young man's mind.

This is to enlighten and comfort myself, I am afraid that there will be problems due to too much pressure.

But out of politeness, he didn't interrupt Chen Yingxiong's stumbling words.

After the other party finished speaking, he smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, hero. But I'm really fine, and I don't have any pressure."

Chen Yingxiong stared at him with wide eyes: "Really?"

Raul nodded: "I played for Real Madrid for 15 years and was the first captain for seven years. The pressure is with me almost every day."

He tried his best to keep his attitude humble, but he still couldn't hide the pride from the bottom of his heart.

"The criticism here has been much softer than in Madrid."

Chen Yingxiong thought about it, it was true.People from Real Madrid, what is the pressure?Everyday meal ah!
Thinking about it this way, he was a little embarrassed to come, because he was acting affectionate.

Raul could see Chen Yingxiong's embarrassment.

"But thank you very much, hero. You know what? Before I came, I heard a lot of people tell me about you, but in their mouths, you are not a good guy..."

Chen Yingxiong was not embarrassed when he heard that he was interested: "What did they say about me?"

Seeing his eagerness and excitement, Raul was surprised: "Are you so interested in others saying bad things about you?"

Chen Yingxiong nodded: "Of course. All the enemy's slander against me is praise, and I like to hear the enemy's curse on me, hahahaha!" He looked up to the sky and laughed loudly. After laughing, he asked: "What did they say? "

"They said you were rude, uneducated, didn't know how to respect people, said you were like a child who didn't grow up..."

Every time he said a "crime", Chen Yingxiong nodded, and seemed to enjoy such an evaluation.

"But now I think you are different from what they said. You are a good person who is easy to get along with."

Chen Yingxiong cracked his mouth and laughed: "The hero of one's own people is of course the villain in the eyes of the enemy. This is all praise, hahaha!"
