Chapter 1 I Just Want to Forge

Gerrard waited to see a good show, and Manchester City fans were also waiting to see a good show.

Since everyone wants to see a good show, if a good show doesn't happen in the end, many people will be disappointed.

But as long as Chen Hero is there, there will definitely be a good show.

Because Chen Hero will never let them down!

The second half of the game began with a whistle from the referee.

Manchester City continued their momentum from the first half and launched a fierce attack on Liverpool's goal after the game started.

It looked exactly like the first half, and the Manchester City fans in the stands cheered with every Manchester City attack.

It seemed that their cheers could help Manchester City score a goal into Liverpool's goal.

But what no one saw was that Manchester City's attacks were actually weaker than before. Liverpool's goal was not as threatened as it was in the first half.

No matter how Mancini encouraged the players and boosted morale during the halftime break, the fifteen-minute halftime break still interrupted their momentum. It's like a person running a long distance. If they keep running, their body will automatically run forward due to inertia, which is actually not very tiring. But if you stop midway, your heart will feel very uncomfortable when you stop, and when you start again, you will feel particularly tired, and you may not even want to run anymore.

The halftime break was like an emergency brake for Manchester City, who were running wildly, almost causing problems with their hearts.

Now they are forced to start again, and although the attack is still fierce, it is just the end of its strength.

Now this Manchester City team can't even break through a layer of window paper.

The Manchester City fans in the stands don't know this. They only think that Manchester City's attack is like a tide, and reversing Liverpool is just around the corner!

※※※

Facing Manchester City's attack, Liverpool still insisted on their counterattack strategy. They were waiting for an opportunity.

After Manchester City attacks for a few minutes, their momentum will obviously weaken, and they will slow down the pace, because their physical strength and morale can't keep up. No team can play an entire game at one pace, and they always have to change the rhythm.

Ten minutes into the second half, Manchester City's attack began to slow down and the pace slowed down.

They also realized that they had besieged Liverpool for ten minutes but couldn't score a goal, so they planned to adjust their strategy, temporarily withdraw their formation, and lure Liverpool, who had been defending stubbornly, to come out and attack, so that they could find gaps behind them.

Mancini also knew that he couldn't just press the attack blindly, which would be counterproductive. Liverpool obviously wanted to play a counterattack, staring at the gaps behind Manchester City's defense. Mancini was worried about his defense every time Manchester City attacked.

So ten minutes later, he quickly made adjustments to allow Manchester City to withdraw and defend against Liverpool's attack.

In his opinion, only by letting Liverpool attack would Manchester City have a chance to attack.

But has he ever thought about another question?

That is, if he withdraws and lets Liverpool out, will he be letting the tiger return to the mountain?

This is almost certain!

Liverpool were waiting for such an opportunity!

※※※

Manchester City withdrew, and Liverpool came out, which was natural and normal. No one thought there was any problem.

But as the saying goes, "It's easy to invite a god, but difficult to send him away." It's easy for you to let Liverpool out, but it will be difficult to lock them back in...

Just five minutes after Manchester City withdrew, Liverpool launched a swift attack, and then Chen Hero scored a goal!

This goal came very suddenly. No one had expected it before. Liverpool's performance didn't look like they were going to score a goal.

But Chen Hero really blasted the ball in!

A thirty-three-meter long shot, the kick was sudden, and the football flew over close to the turf. Joe Hart pounced down to save, but the football rushed into the goal before his hand could reach it.

At that time, the Manchester City fans didn't even react. Because from the time Chen Hero received the ball to the time he kicked it, it took no more than three seconds.

And not only the fans, but even the commentators didn't react—the ball just went in like that?

They saw Chen Hero take a swing outside the penalty area, and then the football drew a white line on the turf, and then plunged into the net.

The whole process was very fast. If many people happened to blink at that time, they would probably only be able to see the back of the football entering the goal...

So the commentator was stunned for a moment, and then shouted after confirming that he had not misread it: "Hero!! Hero!! Brace!"

"Mr. Brace! He has scored twice in a game again!"

※※※

The commentators shouted hoarsely, but the Etihad Stadium fell silent.

The loss of the ball came too suddenly, and the voices of many Manchester City fans seemed to be suddenly pinched by the throat, and they couldn't make a sound.

After a brief moment of astonishment, they let out a huge roar of anger. The sound was louder than ever before, because Chen Hero personally shattered the beautiful vision in their hearts!

After a brief moment of astonishment, a滔天hatefulness towards Chen Hero arose in their hearts!

You ruined our hope! We will never coexist with you!!

And what made the Manchester City fans even more mad about Chen Hero was not just a goal, but his celebration after the goal.

He rushed to the front of the stands where the Manchester City fans were gathered again, and then made a listening gesture—he was charging up again.

Sure enough, his actions drove those Manchester City fans to the extreme. Many people even rushed to the police who were maintaining order, trying to break through the defense line they had formed.

More people pointed their middle fingers at Chen Hero and cursed with ferocious faces. All kinds of swear words and vulgarities poured out like a torrential rain.

Some people also spat downwards, hoping to spit on Chen Hero. But they all spat on the police... Those police officers who were responsible for maintaining order were really unlucky.

Chen Hero didn't care about the life or death of the police officers. He continued to provoke the Manchester City fans. After putting his hands behind his ears to listen, he kept waving his arms upwards, signaling the Manchester City fans to shout louder!

Those Manchester City fans were really obedient. Chen Hero asked them to shout louder, and they really shouted louder, and the sound was much higher. The entire Etihad Stadium was filled with this buzzing noise, like a rocket launch site.

※※※

Chen Hero, who was constantly inciting and provoking the Manchester City fans, was then overwhelmed by Liverpool players led by Gerrard.

When Gerrard hugged Chen Hero, he also slapped Chen Hero hard on the back.

"Look at the scene, Hero! This is really a good show!" Gerrard laughed.

Chen Hero smiled and said, "The good show is not over yet!"

※※※

Yes, for Liverpool fans, it was a good show, but for Manchester City fans, it was a tragedy...

"Liverpool have regained the lead with Chen Hero's brace! Manchester City's momentum was originally very good, but they slowed down the pace and were caught by Liverpool!"

When the ball was lost just now, Mancini, who was originally sitting on the coach's bench, jumped up.

Although Martin O'Neill next to him also jumped up like him, he was not going to cheer like O'Neill.

He was waving his arms, but he was actually cursing!

"God damn it!!"

The Italian coach was furious.

He had done so much work during the halftime break, but Chen Hero had ruined it all! How could he not be angry?

And he knew very well that Liverpool's momentum was up now!

Once this team goes crazy, it seems that there are really no teams on this planet that can be their opponents...

And now, it is obvious that this Liverpool team is about to go crazy...

Damn it!

Mancini felt very unwilling.

Why does his team have so many stars, but none of them can compare to Chen Hero!

I would rather trade so many stars for one Chen Hero!

As long as you give me a Chen Hero, I can guarantee that Manchester City can sweep the English football scene!

※※※

This focus battle attracted not only the attention of reporters and fans, but also some big figures...

Manchester City's games are not always attended by their boss Mansour. Most of the time, the club chairman Mubarak is in charge.

But this game attracted the club's boss, Mansour.

The first half of this game gave Mansour hope. He was very satisfied with the team's performance in equalizing the score after conceding a goal in the first half.

He also smiled happily after the second half started. But ten minutes later, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

The expression on his face became more and more unsightly.

He spent a lot of money to acquire and build this team, but he didn't expect that so far, apart from some insignificant small trophies, Manchester City had not brought him any trophies that were worthy of the name.

He frequently changed coaches before, but later he was told that the tradition of English football is that coaches cannot be changed frequently, as that is not good for the team. He followed the advice and gave Mancini trust, and Mancini really showed his ability and led the team to improve.

Unfortunately, for two consecutive seasons, Liverpool had disrupted the situation at the last moment, causing them to lose the championship. Last season, they didn't even have the qualification to lose the championship at the last moment of the league, and could only watch the old rivals Manchester United and Liverpool fight to the death.

Although he usually doesn't manage the team much, he is very clear about the important events of the team.

Now his team has fallen behind at home. Not only this time, but every time, the person who defeats Manchester City and breaks Manchester City's dream is that Liverpool number nine, Chen Hero!

He is simply a thorn in Manchester City's side!

For dealing with thorns in the side, some people choose to get rid of them quickly, while others go the other way.

If I can't eliminate you, I can win you over!

Yes, I have money, a lot of money. I don't believe that there is anything in this world that money can't buy!

Mansour said to the club chairman Mubarak, who was watching the game with him, "Al, I hope to see Liverpool's number nine wearing our sky blue jersey at the Etihad Stadium before the start of next season."

Mubarak was a little embarrassed: "Boss, this... Hero is Liverpool's non-selling item..."

He carefully reminded Mansour.

Mansour waved his hand dismissively: "Non-selling items are only because they haven't encountered a high enough asking price!"

The aura of wealth that could rival a country was overwhelming, almost causing Mubarak to stumble.
