After kneeling down to thank Chen Hero, the reserve team players excitedly scrambled up from the ground, then rushed over, eager to hug and kiss the trophy.

Chen Hero simply gave them the trophy.

The FA Cup was certainly important, but if it wasn't for brushing up his honors, he wouldn't really care about it that much. So he was happy to win the championship, but his happiness was completely different from that of his other teammates.

The reserve team players swarmed around the trophy.

Then they worked together to lift it up again.

Countless red confetti sprayed out from the roof of Wembley Stadium, fluttering down from the sky, scattered throughout the stadium by the wind.

"Congratulations to Liverpool! They have completed a great season - I'm not talking about the first team, I'm talking about the Liverpool reserve team! When they played in the FA Cup with a reserve team lineup, how many people thought they could go this far? No one. I'm afraid even they didn't believe it themselves... but they did it anyway!"

"On their way to promotion, we always said 'Hero once again led the Liverpool reserve team to victory', 'Hero is the absolute hero of the Liverpool reserve team's promotion', 'Hero's light shines all over the field'... Yes, we only mentioned Chen Hero's name. But now I intend to apologize to them for my previous arrogance and prejudice. This championship was not won by Chen Hero with a group of random nobodies, but by the Liverpool reserve team. Even Hero is a member of the reserve team. This team performed very well in the semi-finals and finals, and they proved with their actions that they are not Hero's background!"

"This championship is well deserved. They didn't take advantage of anyone, and they weren't just there to make up the numbers..."

"What an inspiring FA Cup... The Liverpool reserve team players have proved with their actions that as long as you have a dream and dare to fight, you will have a chance to realize it!"

"I want to ask, I will always remember this FA Cup competition. And this season's FA Cup competition will definitely become a classic in the history of the FA Cup, not just one game, but the entire season. Liverpool has completed the reserve team legend, they relied on the reserve team to win the FA Cup! Some people once said that their use of reserve team players to play in the FA Cup was an insult to other teams and a manifestation of disrespect for their opponents... But now I want to say that they have never disrespected their opponents, because they value these games more than anyone else, and they work harder than anyone else!"

……

The commentators praised the reserve team players in droves, a far cry from their previous practice of only mentioning Chen Hero and not mentioning the reserve team at all.

Now, Chen Hero, who scored two goals in a game, has even become a supporting role, while the Liverpool reserve team players have become the protagonists.

But Chen Hero doesn't care whether he's the protagonist or a supporting role.

He hid to one side and ran into Martin O'Neill.

"You really surprised me, Hero," the team's coach said, looking at Chen Hero with a smile.

Chen Hero found it strange.

"What's wrong, boss?"

"I still remember when you found me and said you had to participate in the semi-finals with the reserve team. Actually, I didn't really believe what you said at the time... To compete with teams like Tottenham and Chelsea with such a reserve team, to be honest, I really wasn't optimistic..." Martin O'Neill said, shaking his head.

Chen Hero smiled: "It's because it's difficult that it's worth a try. If it can be done casually, what's the point? You see, boss, I feel especially accomplished now." After saying that, he patted his chest.

"Now there's one more difficult thing left, on the twenty-second in St. Petersburg..."

Chen Hero knew what the boss was talking about.

The Champions League final, the opponent is Barcelona. They fought to the death in the semi-finals, and after defeating Real Madrid, they reached the final for two consecutive years.

He waved his hand: "That's not a difficult thing, boss."

"Huh?" Martin O'Neill thought Chen Hero would clench his fists and say with great fighting spirit, "Don't worry, boss!", but he didn't expect Chen Hero's answer to be like this, and he couldn't accept it for a while.

"I'm not afraid of Barcelona in their prime, let alone this Barcelona now!" Chen Hero snorted.

O'Neill looked at Chen Hero in surprise.

Chen Hero saw his expression and knew that he didn't really believe it, but there was no need to explain this matter. He had never coached himself against Barcelona, so it was normal that he didn't believe it. If it were Mazzarri, there wouldn't be such a conversation between the two of them at all.

Anyway, O'Neill would know by then that the one who should have a headache was not himself, but Guardiola.

※※※

During the award ceremony, Chen Hero was not the protagonist. The commentators only talked about the Liverpool reserve team players. Some commentators even exaggeratedly recited the entire Liverpool reserve team list again, so that the audience could remember the names of these people and what a great thing they had accomplished.

But don't think that the media will let Chen Hero go.

There were too many topics to talk about about him, in this game, and the biggest and most concerned thing was his... yawn!

He yawned during the national anthem before the game, which had already made him the focus of attention, and no one could steal his limelight.

Then, after scoring the second goal, he yawned twice in a row! It raised everyone's interest in yawning to the highest level! Everyone wanted to understand this question - why did he yawn.

So after the award ceremony, the reporters blocked Chen Hero in the mixed zone.

The questions were naturally all about his yawn.

"Yawn? Yawning while singing the national anthem was just an accident... Yes, I was a little sleepy. Because I didn't sleep well in the morning, and I tend to get sleepy after eating lunch..."

The reporters were obviously unwilling to accept Chen Hero's explanation.

They felt that Chen Hero was making excuses.

If you didn't sleep well in the morning and got up early, how could you still be sleepy at this time? Besides, what occasion is this? This is the FA Cup final! It is the big stage that countless players in England dream of. Anyone who comes to this stage can only tremble with excitement, and it is absolutely impossible to be sleepy and yawn!

Not to mention that he yawned twice in a row after scoring the second goal in the game. Scoring a goal is such an exciting thing. Scoring twice in the final, or even the goal that sealed the victory, even the sleepiest person would not want to sleep at this time. How could Chen Hero yawn?

So the reporters didn't believe Chen Hero's explanation at all.

Chen Hero was too lazy to explain when he saw that they didn't believe him. Anyway, he had told the truth, and they could believe it or not.

Even if they wanted to understand that he was just despising the British national anthem and not respecting Chelsea enough, so what? Could despising the British national anthem get me shot? During national team games, there would be boos from opposing fans during the national anthem, so why haven't I seen anything big happen?

Anyway, he doesn't think the British national anthem is something so sacred, because he is not British at all. The Chinese national anthem is of great significance to him, because he is Chinese.

So even if they think he despises this national anthem, he doesn't think it's a big deal.

As for the crime of disrespecting the opponent...

Hahaha!

He doesn't take it seriously at all.

Because such a crime is simply commonplace for him - he has been accused of such a crime countless times.

He shrugged: "Anyway, I have explained the reason clearly, believe it or not. But speaking of which, you have been blacking me on your own media for more than a day or two, do you still care about such a reason? I still remember 'China_man'. Haven't you always been able to find any reason to start blacking me? Since when have you learned to want face? You even know to find a plausible excuse before blacking me..."

Not only did he not care, but he also took this opportunity to scold the indignant British media severely.

He didn't believe that these media would be so patriotic... It wasn't the first time they had criticized and ridiculed the British government themselves. They just needed a gimmick. The so-called justice and truth were just a guise in their hands. They would use whatever banner they needed, and they could even trample on it at will when they didn't need it.

After saying that, he pushed aside the reporters blocking in front of him and walked into the tunnel.

As for how the media would criticize him, he was not afraid. When has the media's criticism of him been small? When has he ever been afraid?

※※※

The media relentlessly launched an attack on Martin O'Neill at the post-match press conference, asking him about Chen Hero's yawning reason.

Martin O'Neill's explanation was the same as Chen Hero's: "He was woken up early in the morning by his excited teammates and didn't sleep well, so he was a little sleepy... This is quite normal. No one can control the time when they yawn. When you want to yawn, you just yawn, and you can't pretend."

But the reporters were very dissatisfied with his answer.

They questioned O'Neill's reasons for questioning Chen Hero, just because they believed that in such a critical and important event as the FA Cup final, ordinary players would not have the leisure to be sleepy and yawn.

"For a player who defeated the rising Barcelona for the first time in the Champions League final and then won the Champions League title, I don't think the FA Cup final is as important and tense as you think..." Martin O'Neill thought of Chen Hero's previous conversation with him, and really felt that the FA Cup final was not an important game for Chen Hero.

But the reporters still refused to believe O'Neill. They believed that O'Neill chose to lie with Chen Hero in order to protect his players.

As a result, this angered O'Neill, and he angrily scolded the reporters: "Since you already have the answer in your hearts, then why are you here to ask me these questions? Isn't this wasting everyone's time? Obviously, no matter what I say, you won't believe it, unless my answer happens to meet your expectations... So I suggest that you write down your answers before the next interview and hand them to the interviewees, and then ask the interviewees to read them out. That way you will be satisfied... Oh, I forgot, don't you often do this yourselves? You ask yourselves and answer yourselves, and then put the interviewee's name on it when you publish it to create an exclusive interview... So you can actually do this, we are all used to it. But please don't insult my IQ and personality anymore! I will not lie to satisfy you!"

After saying that, he did not answer any other questions and got up and left early.

Originally, it was a very inspiring and positive topic, but it was destroyed by the reporters' deep-rooted prejudices...

But Liverpool Football Club will not care, because no matter what people say, they have achieved results.

But these media will lose a gimmick...
