Cassano and his fiancée, Carolina, kept postponing their wedding. They had originally planned to get married in the summer of 2010, but that summer, Cassano suffered from heart disease. To avoid overexcitement that could cause a relapse, the wedding was postponed by two years.

So it was pushed to the summer of 2012.

When Cassano informed Chen Hero of the wedding date, he joked, "Before the world ends, I must marry her!"

Although Cassano occasionally still went to nightclubs, and though he had wandering thoughts about Chen Hero's female bodyguard, no one could deny his love for Carolina.

If Cassano was able to turn over a new leaf and salvage his career, it was mainly thanks to two people, and Carolina was definitely one of the major contributors.

Mazzarri was the other. He was the one who brought Cassano on loan from Real Madrid to Sampdoria, built the team around him, formulated tactics, and treated him like a father, allowing him to regain his confidence and the joy of playing football.

Carolina, an Italian female water polo player, melted the bad boy's stone-hard heart with her love. She made him feel loved and cared for again.

Especially when he was away from the field for more than a year due to heart disease, she stayed by his side, encouraged and comforted him, restoring peace to his restless heart. That's why he was able to maintain such a good condition after his comeback.

Now their love has come to fruition. Carolina gave birth to a son for Cassano in April this year, ensuring that Cassano's football career has a successor.

Now Cassano is finally going to give this woman a title.

They decided to hold the wedding in Naples.

Holding such a wedding in the city where he was reborn is truly meaningful.

The specific location of the wedding was on the local island of Capri in Naples. This beautiful island is nicknamed the "Honeymoon Island" and is very suitable as a wedding venue.

Chen Hero and Cabrilla had their first date there, so he thought Cassano's choice of location was quite interesting.

The wedding was held in a church, starting at 4:30 PM and lasting until 11:30 PM.

At 4:30, Cassano appeared in a gray suit, white shirt, and light blue tie. Facing the blessings and applause, he smiled and waved, but remained silent.

Soon after, the bride Carolina stepped out of a black Mercedes-Benz in full dress, and the atmosphere reached a climax.

The witnesses chosen by the Cassano couple were a pizza shop owner from Bari and several close friends. As a friend who encouraged Cassano to return to the field, Chen Hero was naturally one of their witnesses.

When Chen Hero was loudly called up by Cassano from the crowd, the Naples fans outside the church erupted in huge cheers. These cheers even surpassed the Cassano couple's appearance...

Chen Hero did not win the approval of all Naples fans when he was in Naples, but after he left, he became an idol for all Naples fans. This is truly ironic. If these fans had treated Chen Hero better in the first place, perhaps Chen Hero would never have left Naples.

Naples, without Chen Hero this season, eventually stopped in the round of 16 of the Champions League, where they were defeated by Chelsea, who had changed their coach, in the round of 16. And looking at Chen Hero at Liverpool, despite Liverpool's fluctuating performance, they were able to rely on Chen Hero's goals to defeat Chelsea. This is the difference. If Chen Hero were there, Naples would definitely have had no problem defeating Chelsea and advancing to the quarterfinals.

But there is no regret medicine in this world.

※※※

Since he was a witness, he naturally had to say a few words. Seeing Chen Hero take the microphone from Cassano, the fans outside the venue quieted down, wanting to hear what Chen Hero had to say.

Chen Hero coughed and said into the microphone, "Antonio and I met because we couldn't stand each other..." His first sentence made everyone laugh, even Cassano laughed.

"We fought twice in one day, but the first time I fought with him, and the second time I helped him fight. That's how we became friends. I have to say that knowing Antonio is one of the best decisions I've made in my life..." He turned to Carolina and said, "You've found a treasure, Carolina, you have to hold on tight and never let go!"

Amidst the laughter, Carolina smiled and nodded.

Chen Hero turned back to Cassano and said, "Antonio, you've experienced everything in these thirty years. Your career has had ups and downs, and even heart disease hasn't really brought you down, so no matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, don't give up... Today I won't give you diamonds or luxury goods, I'll give you this..." He waved down below.

Cabrilla walked to the stage with something in her hands. Chen Hero took it and unfolded it, handing it to Cassano.

It was a white T-shirt, a very ordinary T-shirt, but the sentence on the front made it extraordinary.

It said:

"The breadth of life can only be felt through hardship, fate will never make you kneel down and beg for mercy. Run forward, keep running, Antonio, run!"

Many people were stunned at first, but then they realized—wasn't this the T-shirt Chen Hero wore when he played against Barcelona at home? At the time, after scoring a goal for the team, he lifted his jersey, revealing this T-shirt inside, using this method to encourage Cassano, who had just undergone heart surgery.

Afterward, this sentence spread throughout Italy, and many people were familiar with it.

Unexpectedly, Chen Hero had kept this T-shirt all along and gave it to Cassano as a gift on this special occasion.

Cassano himself was also surprised, but he was obviously a little excited. Because this T-shirt had a special meaning for him, it was a testimony to his defeat of heart disease and his return to the field.

This was true luxury, because it was limited to only one piece worldwide, and it was priceless to him.

Seeing this T-shirt, Cassano was momentarily moved. He stepped forward, not taking Chen Hero's gift, but instead giving Chen Hero a hug directly.

"Thank you, Hero!"

He said in Chen Hero's ear. Chen Hero patted him on the back and didn't say anything, but what he wanted to say was probably all in this action.

※※※

For Cassano, this was the most important moment of his life, but for Chen Hero, this was an opportunity to reunite with old friends he hadn't seen in many days.

Cassano was the protagonist, but for the Naples fans and reporters who came to watch, Chen Hero was also a protagonist.

Who told him he was so popular?

Everyone kept shouting his name, and the reporters also pointed their cameras and lenses at him.

Chen Hero took this opportunity to chat with his friends. At first, he was chatting with Arshavin and Hamsik, and the three friends were very happy to reunite. Chen Hero cared about the recent situation in Naples and the performance of his friends. Of course, he didn't forget to joke with them. When he talked about the frequent injuries in Liverpool's midfield, with Gerrard, Lucas, and Charlie Adam all out of action, and almost no one available in the central midfield, Chen Hero asked Hamsik if he was interested in playing for Liverpool.

As they were talking, Mazzarri chimed in, "Who wants to poach my core players? Hero, you can't poach from my team like this!"

Chen Hero rolled his eyes, while Hamsik and Arshavin next to him laughed.

After joking with Chen Hero, Mazzarri asked about Chen Hero's situation at Liverpool. Chen Hero jokingly invited Mazzarri to coach Liverpool, saying that if he couldn't poach players, he would poach the coach.

Mazzarri also jokingly said that he would go to Liverpool to join Chen Hero after he was kicked out by the club president.

Speak of the devil, and the devil appears. As they were talking, the club president De Laurentiis finally got rid of the entanglement of those celebrities and ran over to find Chen Hero.

"I didn't kick you out, Walter." De Laurentiis walked up and glared at Mazzarri.

Of course, everyone knew it was a joke, so they laughed it off.

De Laurentiis certainly didn't come to joke with Mazzarri. In fact, he came to find Chen Hero.

When the boss and Chen Hero chatted, naturally no one else had anything to do. Mazzarri took Arshavin and Hamsik to chat elsewhere.

Unexpectedly, De Laurentiis didn't come to catch up with Chen Hero.

"I've read the media reports, they're almost blowing Messi to the sky." De Laurentiis got straight to the point, surprising Chen Hero.

"Don't you have anything to say, Hero? I don't think you're the kind of person who can hold back."

Chen Hero shrugged. "I'm not even in the Champions League, what's the use of saying anything? Just talking with my mouth, people will sneer and think I'm bluffing."

"Then what do you think in your heart?"

"Let them be happy, the more proud they are, the more motivated I am to slap them in the face." Now Chen Hero's mentality was much better than before on the plane, because he had figured it out. The stronger the opponent, the better they perform, the stronger he will naturally be when he finally defeats them.

De Laurentiis laughed. "I knew you would say that. Then I'll wait and see!"

Finally, he patted Chen Hero on the shoulder: "There is one thing I want to thank you for in particular."

"Hmm?" Chen Hero didn't understand.

"Remember what I said to you at the beginning?"

"What?"

"Good memories are like drugs. Everyone knows it's bad, but they can't help but indulge in them. The entire city of Naples was trapped in the glory of the Maradona era and couldn't get out. You said you were willing to try?"

Chen Hero nodded, he did say that.

"So I want to thank you. Now in the city of Naples, I rarely hear people say 'if Diego was here, what would happen'. You made us collectively wake up from the past dreams, and the feeling of being down-to-earth is really good. I have more confidence in my second five-year plan."

Chen Hero laughed.

For twenty years, no one had been able to get Naples out of its obsession with past glories. At the beginning, he said to the boss: "I want to try something so difficult."

He didn't know if he would definitely succeed, but he had the confidence and courage to try.

Until the last moment, he didn't know if he had succeeded, but now he heard the good news from the former boss, and his heart was filled with a huge sense of accomplishment.

He thought about his future at Liverpool again.

Is it more difficult to wake up the entire city of Naples from its dreams, or is it more difficult to make the Red Army rise?

Chen Hero didn't know, but he knew that his experience at Liverpool would definitely be another challenging and fulfilling experience, just like it was in Naples.

The dream of Naples is over, when will the dream of the Liverpool people become a reality?
