Chapter 1 The Sound of an Explosion

The Allianz Arena erupted in a deafening roar, like an explosion.

It was like the sound of a dish being dumped into a hot wok of oil.

Finally, something was happening!

From the very first minute of the match, the Bayern Munich fans in the stands of the Allianz Arena hadn't stopped, constantly making all sorts of noises and creating a huge din.

Everyone's heart was filled with a sense of collective honor, and they were willing to dedicate everything for Bayern Munich.

What was a little hoarseness compared to that?

The Liverpool fans in the stands were also being treated the same way as last season—they were surrounded by a group of Bayern Munich fans. These people were usually silent, but as soon as the Liverpool fans made their own cheers, they would drown them out with even louder shouts.

They wanted to make sure that the Liverpool fans couldn't utter a single syllable in these ninety minutes!

When Bayern Munich players had the ball and attacked, they cheered loudly. And when Liverpool players had the ball, they booed.

They thought that by doing this, they could help Bayern Munich completely annihilate Liverpool in the match, just like last season.

Facing this Liverpool team, Bayern Munich adopted a defensive counter-attack formation. They tried to attack once at the very beginning of the match, and then retreated to defend.

So most of the time, there was booing in the stands, and there weren't many opportunities for cheers to ring out.

It was normal for Bayern Munich to retreat to defend and Liverpool to press forward and attack.

But in the eyes of those professional commentators, Liverpool was courting death.

"Haven't they learned their lesson yet?"

"Doesn't O'Neal know what Magath is good at? If they press up like this, Liverpool's defense will be very dangerous!"

"I can even foresee the scene of their defense being torn apart by Bayern Munich... I think the happiest person at this time must be Magath."

The commentator was right, the happiest person was indeed Magath.

Magath was secretly pleased when he saw Liverpool pressing up to attack on the sidelines.

When Liverpool frantically attacked for a while and found that they couldn't break the deadlock, problems would appear in their defense. That would be his chance!

Thomas Müller, Toni Kroos, and Mario Gómez, the attacking trident in the frontcourt, were not to be trifled with!

In order to specifically cooperate with his defensive counter-attack tactics, the most important thing for the trident he built during the attack was speed: fast passing, fast running, and fast shooting if there was a chance. In short, it was all about speed, speed, speed.

Although Liverpool's offensive was very fierce, Magath was very confident in his defense. Or rather, he had special confidence in his goalkeeper, Neuer...

Although the Spanish media insisted that Casillas was the world's number one goalkeeper, Magath believed that Neuer had surpassed Casillas and become the real best goalkeeper in the world.

He had also specifically studied the video of Arsenal's home game against Liverpool.

If a team like Arsenal could sharpen their swords at the last minute and tie with Liverpool, why couldn't his team?

Now, as soon as Chen Hero got the ball, a deafening booing would erupt from the stands, a huge booing that could cause a person's heart to go wrong. To Chen Hero's ears, it was almost like the sound of a breeze blowing through the leaves.

There are some very stupid things in this world, and trying to interfere with Chen Hero with boos and noises is one of them.

Some fans even held up banners that read, "Revenge? Go back to your mother's womb to take revenge!" to mock Chen Hero.

Then the Bayern Munich fans chanted slogans in unison.

"How dare a defeated general speak bravely?!"

The Bayern Munich fans were particularly proud. Last season, Liverpool won the league title in the Premier League and defeated Manchester United, and Chen Hero even broke Messi's single-season Champions League goal record. But such a powerful team fell at the feet of Bayern Munich. What did this show? It showed that Bayern Munich was much better than Liverpool!

In fact, Bayern Munich's elimination of Liverpool last season greatly boosted their morale and confidence. Because of this, they were able to defend to the death and hold Barcelona in the final, and then win the final Champions League title.

The fans believed that if they could defeat Liverpool in the knockout stage this season, then Bayern Munich could advance to the final all the way and successfully defend the title. And it should be noted that since the reform of this competition, no team has been able to successfully defend the title... At that time, what a glorious honor it would be!

But the Bayern Munich fans were dreaming too well, as if they hadn't woken up yet...

So when Liverpool's first goal came, many people were stunned and didn't react at all!

※※※

"Hero!!!"

The English commentator roared extra loudly, because he could finally spit out the bad breath from last season, spit it out hard!

"Hero—!!! He broke the deadlock for the team in the twenty-seventh minute of the game!"

"How many times has Chen Hero opened the scoring in the game? Such Chen Hero is simply invincible!"

"Beautiful shot! Hero keenly captured the gap and opportunity!"

All the commentators became excited, except for the German commentators.

After Chen Hero scored, there was a brief vacuum of sound in the huge Allianz Arena, which was quickly filled by the shouts of Liverpool fans.

Led by the Red Shambles, every Liverpool fan who came to watch the game away from home shouted hoarsely, chanting "Liverpool" and "Hero."

The plan of Bayern Munich fans to prevent them from uttering a single syllable for ninety minutes lasted only twenty-seven minutes before it completely failed.

The Bayern Munich fans who reacted wanted to block the voices of the Liverpool fans.

But this time, the Liverpool fans were like crazy, using all their strength to roar. The most important thing was the amazing momentum they exuded! That kind of momentum frightened the Bayern Munich fans.

For a while, Bayern Munich's momentum was not as good as before.

Or rather, they were not actually frightened by the momentum of the Liverpool fans, they were knocked down a bit of morale by Chen Hero's goal...

Last season at the Allianz Arena, the first goal was scored by Mario Gómez, our Bayern Munich's "Super Mario"!

※※※

After Chen Hero scored, he rushed to the sidelines and waved his arms at the Bayern Munich fans in the stands.

The meaning of the demonstration was very obvious.

Of course, he also received a crazy counterattack from those Bayern Munich fans.

Chen Hero didn't care. After demonstrating to the Bayern Munich fans, he turned around and ran back, tightly embracing his teammates who came up to meet him.

"Hero's goal is really beautiful. It came from Sánchez's cross. He ran into a gap that was almost unguarded. This ball fully embodies his sense of smell in front of the goal! I think I can see Chen Hero's progress every day. He is already so powerful, and he is still constantly improving. This may be the most terrifying thing about him!"

"Away goal! Chen Hero scored an away goal for Liverpool! With an away goal in hand, it will be very beneficial for their second leg. In addition, Bayern Munich is also in trouble..."

"Cheer up, Bayern Munich!" The German commentator cheered for the Bundesliga powerhouse. "It's no big deal, we're only one goal behind, as long as we score a goal, the score will be tied! So the most important thing at this time is to cheer up!"

Over the years, Bayern Munich has always been the only "conscience" of German football in European competitions. No matter how their performance is in the domestic league, the only thing that can defend the dignity of German football in the Champions League is Bayern Munich. Teams like Dortmund can win the league title in the country and beat Bayern Munich twice in a season, but when they leave Germany and come to the Champions League, they will immediately fail. In the end, they are not as good as Bayern Munich, who were beaten twice by them, going further...

So maybe when broadcasting Bundesliga games, this commentator may not stand on Bayern Munich's side, but in the Champions League, he will definitely be a Bayern Munich fan without hesitation.

Magath also stood up from his seat, walked to the sidelines, and constantly cheered for the players.

Losing only one goal is definitely not the end of the world. Bayern Munich cannot be defeated by one goal.

As long as they can score a goal.

It seems that continuing to defend and counterattack will not work, and they have to push out to attack appropriately. As for the defense problems after pushing out...

Magath chose to believe in Neuer. After all, Bayern Munich's defense was not completely pressing up, it was just normal defense, plus a brave Neuer, it should be no problem, right?

In the end, Magath asked himself this question in his heart.

Because he felt that the current Liverpool was a bit different from the Liverpool of last season.

※※※

Neuer looked very frustrated after the goal. He was full of confidence before the game, wanting to keep Chen Hero from scoring in this game. He never expected that the game had just started for less than half an hour, and his goal had been lost.

At that time, when he saw the football pass to Chen Hero's feet, and there was actually a Bayern Munich defender around Chen Hero, his heart was completely cold. Although he tried his best to make up for the mistakes made by his teammates, he was still powerless and could only watch the football fly into the goal from his side.

He tried his best, and in theory, he shouldn't blame himself, but he just couldn't accept such a result.

Damn it! I am going to be the world's number one goalkeeper, and I must be able to stop such shots!

He did not complain about his teammates who made mistakes, but silently stood in front of the goal, tightened his gloves, and prepared to welcome the restart of the game.

This time, he must block all of Chen Hero's shots!

Boy, your goal quota ends here, just like last season, you can only score one goal at most in a game!
