Chapter 1 The Air

On the ball, everyone could see clearly that Chen Hero jumped first, followed by Pique. The two men were one in front of the other, the time between them not long, only about a second apart.

But Pique, who jumped later, began to fall first, while Chen Hero was still in the air.

Then the ball came, Pique had just landed, while Chen Hero was still in the air.

He used a standard lion's head-shaking motion to head the ball towards the goal.

Valdes made a save, but was powerless.

When the ball flew into the goal, Chen Hero was still in the air.

"This super air time!!"

A commentator exclaimed.

That's right, this is Chen Hero's innate ability!

"Airborne" : Increases jumping ability by fifteen percent, while increasing air time by nine percent.

Chen Hero's jumping ability was already good, and with the addition of this talent, it was only natural that he would completely dominate Pique in the air.

Pique, who staggered after landing, realized that he had just been defeated by Chen Hero's air time ability…

Although everyone has more or less air time ability, Chen Hero's air time ability is too exaggerated, right? He jumped later and started to fall, but he was still in the air. He had already landed, but he was still in the air. The ball "arrived late," and he was still in the air. The ball flew into the goal... he was still in the air!

Damn, is he a helicopter?

This is not just air time, this is hovering, okay!

"God—hat trick——!!"

Watching the ball fly into the goal, many commentators in the commentary box held their heads in their hands, looking incredulous.

Chen Hero had completed a hat trick in the previous two Champions League finals against Barcelona. So it was not surprising that Chen Hero scored a hat trick against Barcelona.

What made everyone feel incredible was that Chen Hero had completed a hat trick in the first half! And Liverpool were three goals ahead of Barcelona in the first half!

Barcelona, who once ruled European football, when had they ever been treated like this?

This is simply... a massacre!

Yes, a massacre!

Although Liverpool only scored three goals, considering that the first half was not over yet, it was not an exaggeration to say that this was a massacre.

At this time, many people reacted and recalled everything that had happened from the first minute of the game.

Liverpool dominated.

Barcelona's offense was few and far between.

Chen Hero's hat trick.

This game seemed to be different from the ordinary Champions League semi-final from the beginning...

Looking at the situation, could it be that Liverpool is really going to completely defeat Barcelona in the first leg?

Judging from this trend, it is very likely!

The Catalan commentator is now the most painful one in the commentary box.

After Chen Hero headed the ball into the goal, he maintained a posture—holding his head in his hands, elbows propped on the table of the commentary box, burying his head, and saying nothing.

For as long as a few minutes, he didn't say a word.

The first half was not over yet, and his team was already three goals behind. As an experienced commentator, he knew too well what this meant.

There were examples of being three goals behind and then completing a major reversal.

But, could this happen to Barcelona and Liverpool?

Liverpool is not just any Tom, Dick or Harry. Everyone can see from the game so far that even if he doesn't want to admit it, he is clear in his heart that this Liverpool team is very strong, very strong, really very strong.

Barcelona may be able to defeat them, but they will never be able to defeat them when they are three goals behind.

This fact would frustrate even the most loyal and die-hard Barcelona supporters.

※※※

Indeed, those Barcelona fans who could not go to the stadium to watch the game were watching the game on television at home or in small bars in the city of Barcelona.

When Bale crossed the ball, the commentator in the TV was anxiously shouting: "This is Liverpool's cross!! Hero is in front of the goal! He jumped up!"

This was the last sentence he said.

Afterwards, everyone saw Chen Hero completely dominate Pique, the only one with height in their defense, in the air.

At this moment, the entire Barcelona fell into a dead silence.

Only the cheers of Liverpool fans from the TV were very harsh.

In less than forty minutes, their team had been scored three goals... What could Barcelona fans say in the face of such a situation?

They probably don't even have the strength to cry now.

Such a result was too unexpected for them.

Even the most pessimistic people would not have thought before the game that they would be three goals behind in the first half!

※※※

"Hero—!!" Harry Levi shouted, he stood up from his seat and raised his arms.

Like him, there were thousands of Liverpool fans in the stadium, as well as those Liverpool fans in front of the TV.

No one was able to sit in their seats anymore.

They have been overwhelmed by great happiness. Three goals ahead of Barcelona in the first half... We are bound to win this game!

Not only are we bound to win, but we may also have a big win!

They followed the commentator and shouted Chen Hero's name together.

For a time, this sound became the strongest sound in the city of Liverpool.

"Hero—!!!"

※※※

"Chen Hero's excellent jumping and air time ability allowed him to score this goal! This is his third goal of the game!"

"Hero's goal has completely pushed Barcelona to the brink! Behind them is a bottomless cliff! Barcelona has reached the most dangerous moment!"

"Liverpool is leading again, leading for the third time! This game is simply unexpected! Everyone thought it would be an evenly matched duel, but unexpectedly it was Liverpool who had the overwhelming advantage! They completely destroyed Barcelona!"

When Chen Hero successfully staged a hat trick, the commentators collectively erupted after a brief moment of astonishment.

"Hero is invincible! Hero is invincible! He destroyed the universe team by himself!"

"An incredible game! An incredible first half! Liverpool only took thirty-seven minutes to announce the end of the suspense of this game!"

"Look at the eyes of the Barcelona players, they are confused, shocked and painful... This is all the feelings that this first half gave them! I think the hatred between Barcelona and Hero has turned over a new page and reached a new level... They are irreconcilable!"

"A third hat trick against Barcelona! Hero truly deserves to be Barcelona's nemesis and archenemy!"

※※※

Chen Hero, who completed the hat trick, stood in front of the goal, and then raised his right fist high, this was his action after he had fulfilled his promise to the fans.

Seeing his action, the cheers from the stands became even louder.

Chen Hero, once again perfectly completed the task entrusted to him by the fans, he continued his excellent tradition of being responsive and never disappointing!

"Hero, we love you—!"

"I am willing to dedicate myself to you, Hero!"

"Please let me sleep with you! I am willing to have children for you!"

"Ah, Hero! I want to introduce my mother to you!"

……

The fans in the stands frantically showed their love to Chen Hero.

The stands of Anfield Stadium have completely gone crazy.

※※※

When Chen Hero was posing in the penalty area, the Barcelona players around him were pale.

This game far exceeded their expectations.

They really can't accept it now.

Logically speaking, from one goal to two goals, and then to losing three goals, their psychological endurance should be improving bit by bit. But in reality, it is not like this.

When they lost a goal, they panicked, but when they lost two goals, they regained their composure and rekindled their hope.

But the arrival of the third goal completely buried all hope. They were like being pushed into a bottomless abyss. In the process of rapid descent, they could still clearly feel the despair and fear of dying. Perhaps before their bodies fell to the ground, they were already scared to death...

Now there are more than fifty minutes left before the end of the entire game, but these Barcelona players suddenly lost their fighting spirit.

Guardiola waved his arms angrily after seeing Chen Hero score the goal from the sidelines. This was the only action he could use to express his emotions.

This action actually carried a hint of helplessness.

Yes, helplessness.

In addition to anger, he was also very helpless. Because in the face of such a situation, he really couldn't come up with any good solutions.

A very terrifying thought appeared in his mind.

Could it be that Liverpool can really completely end our hope of entering the final in the first leg?

The most painful person in the Barcelona team is none other than their core player, captain Messi.

If there was no Chen Hero, he would likely create a new era with the honors he has won at Barcelona. He would be crowned the King of Football, and he would create a series of records and miracles that would stun the world football. He will write his name forever in the history of world football, and it will be on the most prominent position on the first page.

Now these have become a bubble. Because Chen Hero came out from the side.

Chen Hero has always regarded Messi as his strongest opponent, and isn't Messi the same?

Although he feels uncomfortable in his heart, he always wants to defeat him. Isn't that what an opponent is?

This game was originally regarded by Messi as a decisive battle between himself and Chen Hero.

Defeating Chen Hero and entering the final is the best revenge for Chen Hero's defeat in the Champions League final last season.

Who would have thought that only thirty-seven minutes had passed in the first half, and he hadn't scored a single goal, but Chen Hero had scored three goals and completed a hat trick.

Facing this guy he least wanted to lose to, he lost miserably this time…
