Unfortunately, Zlatan Ibrahimović was unable to do anything to save himself and his team.

So in the end, AC Milan lost to Napoli on the road.

Losing at the Stadio San Paolo was not a new experience for this AC Milan team, so everyone quickly accepted the result. Only Zlatan Ibrahimović looked very bad.

But no one cared why he looked so bad.

Having defeated AC Milan at home and achieved a crucial victory, the Napoli players were overjoyed.

This was their victory after fighting tooth and nail against Manchester United in the Champions League away game, and their opponent was AC Milan. This victory was extremely helpful in boosting the players' confidence, telling the Napoli players that they could completely cope with playing on two fronts, and they were not afraid of fighting every game!

After the game, the media gave extensive coverage to this high-profile match.

And, as Zlatan Ibrahimović had expected, his contest with Chen Hero became the focus of everyone's attention.

Before the game, he couldn't wait for the media to hype this topic up more and more.

Now he hoped that the media hadn't seen the competition between him and Chen Hero.

Because he knew that whatever was said about him would not be good, so he didn't plan to pay attention to the media's reaction after the game.

The reality is that in competitive sports, people are often very cruel to losers, and examples of tolerance are very rare.

The media naturally wrote a lot about the contest between Zlatan Ibrahimović and Chen Hero.

Chen Hero was praised to the skies by the media, who said he was a remarkable big man, unlike Zlatan Ibrahimović, who only dared to show off against weak opponents and was not good at fighting tough battles... In short, they said a lot, praising Chen Hero while denigrating Zlatan Ibrahimović.

Zlatan Ibrahimović was right not to read the post-match reports, because it would only make him more upset and angry. Of course, even if he didn't read the media reports, the antagonistic emotions between him and Chen Hero would not diminish in the slightest, but would accumulate more and more, waiting for the next opportunity to erupt. Back home, back home... He must make Chen Hero and Napoli look good!

The Swedish Tower secretly made a decision in his heart.

The media also praised Napoli's performance, saying that their performance was becoming more and more mature. They had just lost to Manchester United in the Champions League away game, and when they returned to the league, they faced a team like AC Milan, but they were not timid at all and played vigorously at home.

They deserved this victory.

Napoli defeated AC Milan at home. After eight rounds of league play, they had six wins and two draws, and were undefeated, with twenty points, ranking first in Serie A.

Lazio followed closely behind with nineteen points. AC Milan lost the game and were overtaken by Inter Milan. Inter Milan were third with fifteen points, and AC Milan were fourth with fourteen points.

In the ninth round of the league, the last league game before hosting Manchester United, Napoli challenged Brescia away.

Chen Hero scored his tenth goal of the season in this game.

With this goal, the Napoli second team narrowly won a victory on the road.

After the game, Chen Hero's goal once again became the focus of media attention.

He also became the first player in Serie A this season to reach double digits in goals. At the same time, he was also the second player in the top five European leagues to reach double digits in goals. The first was Cristiano Ronaldo of Real Madrid - after ten rounds of La Liga, Ronaldo scored twelve goals. However, Serie A had only played nine rounds. In the ninth round of La Liga, Ronaldo's goal total was also ten. From the perspective of rounds, the two people's scoring efficiency was the same.

Napoli's Morning Post exclaimed: "Serie A can't stop Hero anymore! His goal this season is not to compete for the Serie A Golden Boot, but the European Golden Shoe! His opponent is not in Italy at all, but in the whole of Europe!"

This statement was the first time the Morning Post had made it. Chen Hero was pleasantly surprised when he saw it, and felt that the other party was very talented and could actually say such high-level things. He was very comfortable with the flattery.

So he decided to give the Morning Post an exclusive interview opportunity, but when he called his press officer, Vera, to explain this matter, the girl flatly refused in a cold tone, without any room for discussion. The reason was that Chen Hero could only accept a media interview once every five or six months.

Now Chen Hero's interview opportunities, apart from the simple interviews accepted at the training base and after the game, any media wanting to interview Chen Hero needed to go through his press officer, Vera. Only with her approval could the media contact Chen Hero. The former press spokesman has now become a press officer, which shows how far Chen Hero's agent team has expanded.

Dekura's agent team has a comprehensive packaging and promotion plan for Chen Hero, which is very detailed. It is written down when Chen Hero can accept interviews and when he can't. The plan stipulates that media interviews should be controlled to one article every five to six months to be more appropriate. Because too many exclusive interviews would depreciate Chen Hero's image value, and would make people feel that he was easy to interview, and that any Tom, Dick, or Harry media could do an exclusive interview with Chen Hero. The bigger the star, the more important it is to maintain a sense of mystery. This principle is actually the same as luxury goods. If you can see this brand everywhere, then what taste and grade does this luxury item have? Just like Pierre Cardin back then, due to the widespread authorization of the brand, men's wear, women's wear, formal wear, casual wear, children's wear, women's cosmetics, men's cosmetics, leather goods, shoes, watches, glasses... everything was involved. As a result, the brand image was chaotic, the brand was devalued, and it became a common commodity. Even in China, people don't think Pierre Cardin is a high-end product anymore.

Dekura's team is very dedicated to establishing and maintaining Chen Hero's brand image. Because...they don't need to serve other players, they only serve Chen Hero.

Reducing the number of media interviews he accepts is an important means of maintaining mystery. Mystery helps to increase value—people always think that what they can't get is the best. If there are "exclusive interviews" with Chen Hero in every newspaper, it's not interesting.

Ordinary fans may not think there's anything wrong with this, but commercial sponsors care about it. They hope that their spokesperson will maintain sufficient media exposure, while not recklessly squandering their fame. Once people feel bored or accustomed to his name, those sponsors have to consider whether they should continue to invest in Chen Hero...

So Chen Hero can't even give the Napoli Morning Post an exclusive interview opportunity. He's not in charge of this matter anymore.

Chen Hero was a little disappointed after being rebuffed by Vera.

But he couldn't do anything, so he could only hang up the phone and curse the damn Iceberg Vera a few times.

Then he read the report in the Napoli Morning Post praising him again, the more he read it, the happier he became, and the more he felt they were right.

That's right, my journey should be among the stars and the seas, what's the point of just spinning around in Serie A?

The current Chen Hero has a sense of confusion as he looks around with his sword drawn. He feels that he can't find an opponent in the Serie A scorer list. The league has only played nine rounds, and he has scored ten goals, while Eto'o, who is second, has only scored seven goals, three behind him.

So Chen Hero wants to move to a broader stage - the European Golden Shoe!

Compete with the best shooters in Europe.

Currently, it seems to be Cristiano Ronaldo.

But Chen Hero is not afraid of competing with Ronaldo. He doesn't even care about Messi, the World Footballer of the Year and European Ballon d'Or winner, let alone Ronaldo, who is not as good as Messi at the moment?

On November 2nd, Napoli will host their strongest opponent in the Champions League group stage - Manchester United.

This game has attracted a lot of attention even before it has started.

Everyone believes that this is a crucial battle related to whether Napoli can qualify from the group stage. If they lose to Manchester United again, I am afraid they will be taken advantage of by the other two competitors.

Especially Valencia, their match against Napoli is at their home, and Napoli is not confident that they can defeat Valencia on the road.

Although Chen Hero is not participating in the Champions League group stage, he can also feel the tense atmosphere of the team's preparations.

Manchester United is the undisputed behemoth in this group, the Premier League champion. However, Napoli has to beat them at home, and this difficulty is not just a little bit.

If the tasks in football games are also graded, then this must be an S-level task at the very least.

In order to play this game well, Mazzarri racked his brains.

Chen Hero can't help at all... In fact, he has already helped - in the last league game, Napoli, playing with a substitute lineup, actually defeated Brescia 1:0 on the road, which not only relieved the whole team, but also greatly boosted the morale of the players.

So that Napoli can completely fight Manchester United at home without any worries.

And from before the start of the game, Napoli fans have also taken action. Perhaps they still have disagreements on how to treat Chen Hero, but their love for Napoli is beyond doubt.

The large and small Napoli fan organizations have already agreed that they will create a terrifying home atmosphere for Napoli at the Stadio San Paolo, and it would be best to scare Manchester United to death!

Global media have gathered in Naples, the third largest city in Italy. On the squares around the Stadio San Paolo, you can always see reporters holding microphones and standing in front of camera lenses, pointing to the Stadio San Paolo for live reports.

Stadium workers are giving the Stadio San Paolo a Champions League "makeover". Champions League banners are pasted on the tiers of the stands, and Champions League flags and the logos of the participating teams are hanging on the outer walls of the stadium.

The atmosphere of the Champions League is getting stronger and stronger.
