Despite the English media's initial reluctance to widely publicize Chen Hero's magnificent achievements, they temporarily abandoned this idea after this match.

Regardless of whether they could remember their previous promises in such an excited state, even if they did, the current situation forced their hand; they had no choice but to report it.

Chen Hero scored five goals against Barcelona!

No player had ever scored five goals in a single match against Barcelona.

Yet, Chen Hero did.

And it was in such an important match like the Champions League semi-final.

That made it even more remarkable.

Such an outstanding performance, even if they didn't report it, the whole world would see it, and it would generate a wave of discussion, especially online.

This was a field of public opinion they couldn't control.

In this internet age, the power of the internet is growing.

If they didn't want to lose readers, they had to report Chen Hero's great achievements extensively.

This was a frustrating reality for them.

From that night to the next day, the major traditional media began to mention Chen Hero's performance in a comprehensive manner, singing his praises desperately, using all the laudatory words they could think of on Chen Hero, and still trying to appear as if they hadn't exhausted their vocabulary.

Thus, the "ignore Chen Hero" alliance that had naturally formed among the media crumbled.

Chen Hero received true heroic treatment.

He pointed at the camera with a look of course and said, "I said I would end the semi-final in the first leg, and I did!"

After saying that, he tapped the camera lens and turned to walk away.

This arrogant scene quickly spread around the world through the internet and television media.

But this time, even if someone said he was arrogant, they had to add, "But he has the right to be arrogant!"

Yes, Chen Hero had already proved his ability with his actual performance, so what if such a person was arrogant and despotic?

He had the capital!

This world respects the strong. If one is strong, why can't they be arrogant and despotic? As long as they have the ability, arrogance and despotism are also shining points of personality. Experts may even analyze in reverse and announce that such a personality is the decisive factor for Chen Hero's success.

There are also many people who specifically like the arrogant Chen Hero.

This can be seen from the online messages and comments in the past few days.

It's like showing off; if you have the ability, it's showing off, but if you don't have the ability, it's being a moron.

If Chen Hero didn't have such a strong strength and outstanding achievements to support him, his personality would have been cursed into a pig's head long ago.

So, people with extreme personalities either become geniuses or madmen.

Chen Hero, who scored five goals, once again became the focus of attention.

Although he was used to such treatment, this time was a little different from the past.

Outside the training ground, more fans came to the Melwood training base to watch the training, and they didn't just come to see Liverpool. Many of these people came specifically to see Chen Hero. Some fans even flew from as far away as China to Liverpool, just to see Chen Hero train, take a photo with him after training, and ask for an autograph.

In addition, many reporters were chasing him.

After playing the semi-final, Martin O'Neill also lifted the ban on external training and canceled the closed training order.

Reporters flocked in. This time they didn't come to explore Liverpool's training content, they had no interest in that.

They came to interview Chen Hero.

As soon as the training ended, Chen Hero was surrounded by a crowd of reporters and fans, unable to move an inch.

Everyone wanted to hear his thoughts on scoring five goals in the big win against Barcelona.

Chen Hero's answer was full of domineering spirit.

"No thoughts. This is what I expected."

Some people must be scolding him for showing off in their hearts.

But this time Chen Hero was telling the truth.

From the beginning, when he planned to eliminate Barcelona in the first leg, he had made such plans. If Liverpool wanted to win big, how could they do without his goals? He would definitely score a lot of goals, so what's so surprising about scoring five goals in a game?

So, this was what Chen Hero had expected.

It's just that his calm answer became showing off in the eyes of others.

How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan?

Chen Hero was too lazy to explain to them, pushed aside the reporters, and began to satisfy the fans' requests.

Liverpool and Chen Hero were in the limelight, but Barcelona was having a hard time.

The next day, many Barcelona fans rushed to their training base, holding banners to protest the team's shameful loss in the semi-final.

Many fans angrily rebuked those Barcelona players who performed poorly in the game at the edge of the training ground.

In the media, there was even a storm against Guardiola.

These reporters prepared a lot of questions. They didn't have the opportunity to ask them at the post-match press conference, so they wrote the questions in the newspaper to ask Guardiola.

In addition to dealing with these questions from fans and the media, Guardiola also faced pressure from the club's top management.

This unprecedented rout shocked the entire city of Barcelona and also shook the top management of the entire Barcelona club.

Barcelona lost helplessly in the away game, and their helmet-less and armor-stripped appearance quickly spread around the world through television broadcasts.

Making every Barcelona person feel ashamed.

The tall image of the brilliant universe team that they had built up through countless victories and countless championships collapsed yesterday night.

The image of Barcelona is the most important thing, it is the face of a giant.

And yesterday, they lost even their face.

How could the top management of the Barcelona club not be angry?

The next day, club president Rosell called Guardiola and asked him to report to his office.

He wanted to hear Guardiola's explanation.

During his conversation with Rosell, Guardiola admitted his mistakes in preparing for the game. Because he didn't expect Chen Hero and Liverpool to be serious.

But he also felt very wronged.

Because if it were anyone else, no one would believe that the other party would be serious.

When Chen Hero said these words, didn't those media say that Chen Hero was either crazy or deliberately mystifying, playing psychological warfare?

But now, the media that said these words have turned around to criticize him, Guardiola, for not paying attention to the opponent before the game, taking it lightly, and underestimating Liverpool's determination to win...

This is really, wanting to condemn someone, one can always trump up a charge!

He certainly wouldn't shirk some responsibilities, but he couldn't take the blame for mistakes that didn't belong to him.

Most importantly, he didn't want the loss of this game to become the fuse for his dismissal.

He didn't really plan to work at Barcelona for the rest of his life. He wanted to go to other teams to prove that he wasn't only able to use Barcelona's system and stars to win championships. But he absolutely wouldn't accept leaving the team as a loser, and a loser who was nailed to the pillar of shame in the club's history.

So, he had to express his attitude to the chairman and gain the chairman's understanding.

Lest he be kicked out the door directly...

He had already remembered the shame of this game. Even if he wanted to leave Barcelona, he would definitely avenge this before he left!

After listening to his explanation, Rosell also fell into a long contemplation.

Guardiola was right, this matter... couldn't all be blamed on him. After all, no one expected Chen Hero to be serious before the game. Not to mention Guardiola not believing it, even he himself didn't believe it.

When he was watching the game yesterday, when Liverpool scored two goals, he still thought it was a normal Champions League semi-final. Even if Barcelona couldn't win, being able to score an away goal would be a good result.

Who would have thought that the game would completely deviate from everyone's expectations and go in a very strange direction.

At that moment, he really wanted to announce Guardiola's resignation decision as soon as the game ended.

Barcelona was humiliated in front of the world, and someone had to pay the price. Since there was no way to find trouble with the opponent, he had to find trouble with his own people.

But after one night, he gradually calmed down. As the chairman of a giant club like Barcelona, impulsiveness couldn't be eaten.

He had to consider it more comprehensively.

What he considered was, if he drove Guardiola away, would Barcelona be able to find a coach who was so suitable for the team?

Vilanova had already proved with his actions that he didn't deserve to be Barcelona's coach and could only be a good assistant coach.

Looking at the entire world football, there were no suitable candidates. Perhaps some people's talents were not inferior to Guardiola, but they might not be suitable for Barcelona.

Barcelona's system is unique, which is something that Barcelona people are proud of. But it has also become a stumbling block preventing them from integrating with the world football.

Some people do come from the Barcelona system, but their own strength is limited.

After the great success of Guardiola's universe team, Barcelona, whether it was the club's top management or ordinary fans, had their appetites whetted. They could no longer accept the days when they had to struggle for a league title.

So, if the coach who comes can't be as successful as Guardiola, leaving will definitely be the final outcome.

It's really easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality...

After thinking about it, Rosell felt that he still had to keep Guardiola.

At least give him a chance to prove that this failure was just an accident.

It's just that his relationship with Guardiola will definitely not be as harmonious as before.

When he wants to kick Guardiola out the door, this game will be a good reason...

※※※

When Guardiola walked out of Rosell's office, he didn't feel relieved.

His brow was still furrowed.

For him, continuing to stay required greater courage, because he had to bear more pressure, and be subjected to more criticism and condemnation.

But he had to stay, withstand this huge pressure, and stay to prove himself again.

Enduring hardship and biding his time, one day he will spit this breath fiercely on the faces of Liverpool and Chen Hero!
