Chapter 485 U—ra!!

When Chen Hero roared in front of the camera, his face twisted in a ferocious expression as he celebrated his goal, someone finally reacted and roared along with him.

"Goal! Goal! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!! 4:0! Zenit St. Petersburg leads Bayern Munich 4:0! The suspense is completely gone from this match!"

"Hero! Hero! He completed a hat trick! Three goals, destroying Bayern Munich!!"

"Unbelievable... Zenit St. Petersburg has completely gone wild in their home stadium! Their goals came one after another. Before the game, no one expected it to turn out this way. Everyone thought Bayern Munich would be dominant, but it turned into a one-sided affair! The last time Bayern Munich lost so badly in the UEFA Cup was back in the 1991-1992 season, when they lost 1:6 to Copenhagen of Denmark in the second round! Today, Zenit has given their fans a repeat of that humiliating scene from seventeen years ago!"

"Bayern Munich's performance in this game has been terrible. Their offense is weak and their defense is unstable! They've lost everything, even their underwear!"

"Poor 'Lion King' Kahn, this is his one hundred and forty-second European match, but also his last... As his farewell performance in European competition, he has been humiliated by having to pick the ball out of his net four times..."

The Zenit St. Petersburg fans in the stands also reacted and let out a long-brewing cheer: "U—ra!!"

※※※

His teammates swarmed him, embracing Chen Hero. They weren't celebrating their advancement to the finals—they had already celebrated that after Dominguez's goal.

They were celebrating something else...

"Hooray! I won money!"

"I told you, betting on Hero is definitely the right choice! This kid can create miracles!"

"Ahahaha! Fantastic, Hero! Thanks to you, I won at least five hundred euros!"

……

In the box, Arshavin, who was suspended, also raised his arms and cheered.

"Won!!"

Kerzhakov cheered with him.

He turned to tease Kerzhakov, "Are you ready with a lot of cash, Aleksandr?"

Kerzhakov grinned. "Don't worry, I won't be in debt!"

With that, he pulled out his phone.

"What are you doing?" Arshavin asked.

"Calling Martin! Telling him to get ready to treat us!"

※※※

Martin Škrtel was watching the game on TV. When Chen Hero roared into the camera, his face twisted ferociously, because the stadium was relatively quiet, he clearly heard what he said.

At that time, he grinned—that Chen Hero!

Afraid he wouldn't acknowledge the bet?

Although he would have to treat them, he was still very happy. After all, his good friend had accomplished this feat.

Besides happiness, he was mostly surprised.

When Chen Hero got past Kahn but was tripped by Kahn and staggered, he thought Chen Hero would fall to the ground and get a penalty kick. He never expected him to persist and not fall, and to score with a very unconventional move. At that time, he was surprised by Chen Hero's tenacious fighting spirit. When he heard what he shouted, he realized that he had stipulated that penalty kicks didn't count toward a hat trick, so if Chen Hero had fallen, it would have meant he had failed.

But he actually completed a hat trick in this game, against such an opponent… Unbelievable!

You have to know, his opponent was Kahn! The world-class goalkeeper who had won the World Cup Golden Ball, the idol of many excellent goalkeepers, the feared "Lion King"!

He actually completed a hat trick against such an excellent goalkeeper!

Škrtel had wondered in which games Chen Hero might score a hat trick. When he scored a goal against Villarreal in the snowstorm in St. Petersburg, he thought it would be a good opportunity to complete a hat trick. But Chen Hero only scored one goal. In the away game at El Madrigal, he didn't score a single goal.

In the home game against Marseille, when Chen Hero scored two goals, he thought it would be a hat trick this time, right? But Chen Hero only scored twice.

Against Fiorentina, nothing either.

Finally, when it came to playing Bayern Munich, he thought Chen Hero would definitely not be able to complete a hat trick against Kahn. In fact, there weren't many forwards who could score a hat trick against the Lion King.

Was he saving the hat trick for the final? Just thinking about it made Martin Škrtel feel it was too crazy.

But he never expected that when he thought it was impossible, this kid got his hat…

He made Kahn pick up the ball he shot into the goal three times!

Just then, his phone rang.

"Martin! Hahaha!" As soon as he answered, he heard Kerzhakov's laughter. "Let me let you hear this—"

Then a huge cheer came from the receiver: "Hero! U—ra!! U—ra!!"

Škrtel was very familiar with this sound. When he was still playing for Zenit St. Petersburg, he could often hear such cheers during games, because Chen Hero always scored goals.

Then Kerzhakov's voice came again: "How is it? How is it? We're going to England! And you, kid, wait to treat us! Haha!"

These guys… Chen Hero reminded himself on TV during the live game, and Kerzhakov had to call again to remind him, as if afraid he would try to deny the bet.

"Okay, okay, I know, I know. After you finish the final, how about I treat you in Manchester?"

"Uh, not St. Petersburg?"

"How would I have time to go back to St. Petersburg? Besides, aren't you guys tired of that place? Let me tell you, I know a place in Manchester..."

※※※

Kerzhakov hung up the phone with a satisfied smile on his face.

He nodded at Arshavin. "After the UEFA Cup final, the eating, drinking, and playing group assembles in Manchester!"

Arshavin smiled.

While the Zenit St. Petersburg players and fans were celebrating wildly, "Lion King" Oliver Kahn knelt on the ground, looking back at the celebrating people, the football lying quietly in the goal. He didn't get up and roar, scolding the terrible defense in front of him. In fact, in the second half of the game, facing a defense that repeatedly made low-level mistakes, Kahn, who used to be as fierce as a lion, didn't even roar once.

His last European match, he never expected it to end in such a way…

He had never imagined that he would say goodbye to his glorious European career with such a humiliating defeat.

When he saw that big No. 99 risking a nose injury to use his face to score, he really felt deeply that he was irreversibly getting old.

The courage he was most proud of in his career was now fully embodied in a young man.

The courage to challenge himself, the courage to score even if it meant getting injured.

Kahn suddenly felt that in his last European match, encountering such an opponent, even if he scored three goals against him, it might not be such a disgrace…

※※※

The TV and the big screen were showing a replay of Chen Hero's goal. Because they were too far away and everything happened so fast, many people didn't actually see how Chen Hero scored.

That's why it was so quiet when he scored—some people even thought Chen Hero had fallen to the ground and poked the ball into the goal with his hand.

Thanks to advanced technology, the slow-motion replay of the goal cleared Chen Hero's name.

Everyone clearly saw that he had leaped forward, diving toward the ball, unable to keep his balance, and then… with his face! Yes, they were not mistaken, their eyes were not playing tricks, it really was his face that touched the ball!

To ensure that the ball went into the goal, he even swung his head… perhaps the word "swung his face" is more accurate…

He swung his face to shoot, guiding the ball toward the goal!

Before, everyone thought Chen Hero's nosebleed was from his face hitting the ground, but they never thought it was actually from heading the ball…

Those who had been laughing at him for landing face-first during his bomber-like dive immediately respected Chen Hero!

Anyone who has played soccer should know how painful it is to have the ball hit your face. Chen Hero actually took the initiative to put his face up there. Such a spirit is admirable.

This is a true professional player! Even if his nose is bleeding, he still has to score!

However, his way of scoring suddenly reminded the Chinese reporters in the stands, who were not very pure-minded, of a certain word.

After watching the slow-motion replay, that word uncontrollably popped out.

Face-shot!

Someone had already decided to use this word as the title of tomorrow's report…

※※※

After celebrating, the teammates returned to the field to prepare to continue the game, while Chen Hero was pulled off the field by team doctor Pukhov to receive treatment.

His nose was bleeding, so he had to stop the bleeding. Otherwise, the referee wouldn't let him continue the game with a bloody nose, it would be too shocking, and might cause some psychological shadow to the opposing players, preventing them from playing normally…

At the same time, because he was too reckless, the stitched wound on his right calf was bleeding again. The new socks he had changed during halftime also had red blood stains again. It had to be dealt with.

His jersey also had nosebleeds on it, so it had to be changed.

Pukhov knelt on the ground, treating the wound on Chen Hero's calf. Another team doctor was working to stop Chen Hero's nosebleed, while assistant coach Potter ran back to the locker room to get Chen Hero a new jersey and socks. Two sets of jerseys were prepared for each person, but Chen Hero had already used up his socks, so he could only take someone else's socks as a replacement.

Chen Hero stood on the sidelines, straightening his back, fully showing the image of a tough guy in football.

The fans in the stands were also cheering for him loudly: "Good job! Northern Bear!"

"You're a real man, Hero!!"

Only the team doctor who was treating his nosebleed was very dissatisfied with this: "Bend over a little and tilt your head back! How can I stop the bleeding if you do this!" This team doctor was only 1.72 meters tall, a full twenty centimeters shorter than Chen Hero…

Chen Hero had to give up the idea of ​​continuing to pose and honestly bent over, tilting his head back to let the team doctor work.

Like an F1 car entering the pit stop, the work of stopping the bleeding on his nose and calf was done quickly, and Potter also ran out of the locker room with a brand-new jersey in his hand.

Chen Hero took off his blood-stained shirt directly on the sidelines, revealing a strong body and the arrogant and domineering tattoo on his back.

This time he took off his clothes in broad daylight, and he definitely wouldn't get a yellow card for it.

This made the female fans in the stands scream again and again, excited.

"Ahhhhh!! He took it off! He finally took it off again!!"

"Seeing his figure makes my mouth water..."

"This is great, this is the man in my heart! Hero, I love you—!"

Chen Hero quickly changed his jersey and socks, and then applied to return to the field.

The referee looked back and beckoned to him.

When Chen Hero stepped back onto the field, all the Zenit St. Petersburg fans in the stands stood up and applauded their hero.

The stadium announcer shouted emotionally: "Welcome back, Hero!!"

"U—ra!!"

Huge cheers rang out in the applause.

Chen Hero raised his arm, clenched his fist, and responded to the fans' cheers.
