Chapter 1 He Just Wants to Defeat Me With a Small Trick?

Boas didn't have time to think about why his temples were throbbing again. His eyes were fixed on the field, on the right side of his team.

There, many Liverpool attacking players were concentrated, while Manchester City's defensive players seemed few and far between.

This was the most dangerous situation!

Whether they were Manchester City or Liverpool fans, whether they were at the stadium or in front of the TV, they had all lifted their butts off their seats, leaned forward, and stared intently at the field or the TV screen.

It was only the thirty-third minute. The first half wasn't even over yet. If Liverpool scored a second goal, the game would basically be over. Never mind that games had been reversed after being two goals down, the key was that these two goals would directly destroy the morale of Manchester City's players.

The nightmare that had been hidden in the hearts of Manchester City players would be revived.

Just thinking that no matter how hard they tried, Chen Hero could easily send the football into their goal, even if they had soaring ambitions and courage, it would all be deflated in an instant.

So this goal couldn't be conceded. If it was, everything would be over.

Boas knew this very well, which was why he clenched his fists so tightly and watched the field with his eyes about to burst out of their sockets.

The Manchester City players on the field were also very clear that this was their last fig leaf. No matter what, it couldn't be torn off!

Everyone was desperately trying to get back on defense, trying to stop the ball. Some people rushed towards Gareth Bale, who was dribbling the ball, while others rushed towards Chen Hero.

The other Liverpool players seemed to not exist at all in their eyes… But that was indeed the case. Chen Hero was the most threatening player for Liverpool, so of course they had to prioritize defending him.

※※※

Gareth Bale, who was dribbling the ball, suddenly stopped abruptly and used the outside of his right foot to push the ball inward.

At the same time, Gotze suddenly accelerated towards the penalty area.

At this time, if Bale sent a straight pass, Gotze could form a breakthrough.

Every defensive player could see this. It was just one of the most common tactics in football matches.

In order to prevent the opponent from penetrating the defense with this simple method, Lescott, the Manchester City center-back who was stuck at this point, suddenly took a step back and followed Gotze, which was equivalent to defending Gotze.

As for Chen Hero, he had two people marking him closely. Lescott believed that he didn't need to worry too much. As long as he blocked Gotze, his defense would be considered a success. At least Liverpool's attack wouldn't break through from his position.

Bale didn't pass the ball to Gotze, but instead crossed the ball directly. This time he used his right foot, which he wasn't very good at.

But there was no way, he didn't have time to adjust back to his left foot. Because he saw Chen Hero cutting into the penalty area from outside the box on a diagonal line. This was the best time to pass the ball. One second later, Chen Hero might have run to the spot, but the football hadn't flown over yet, and that would be in vain.

Even if his right foot wasn't very skilled and proficient, he had to cross at this time!

Next, he could only pray to God that his right-footed cross wouldn't be too far off… No matter how unskilled he was, there would always be a time when a blind cat catches a dead mouse, right?

※※※

When Chen Hero saw Gareth Bale suddenly stop abruptly and then push the ball inward, he realized that this change in rhythm was an opportunity, so he suddenly accelerated towards the penalty area.

Kompany and another Manchester City defender, Clichy, were by his side.

The two men sandwiched Chen Hero one in front of the other.

At the same time, they also noticed Bale. When Bale crossed, Kompany even saw that Bale was using his right foot!

He was overjoyed.

It looked like this defense was going to work!

Bale was a left-footed player, and his right foot was definitely not his forte.

But he suddenly used his right foot to cross, and the accuracy of this right-footed cross was much worse than his left foot…

In this case, as long as they stuck close to Chen Hero, all they had to do was wait for the football to go straight out of the baseline.

Chen Hero also noticed that Bale's cross was with his right foot.

He knew why Bale didn't use his left foot, because in this situation, if he adjusted back, the opportunity might be gone.

On the football field, in the moment of the final shot, opportunities are fleeting. Not even half a second can be wasted.

Bale was afraid that he would delay the opportunity himself…

So he had no choice but to use his right foot to pass.

But Chen Hero wasn't worried that the ball wouldn't reach his head.

What was his relationship with Bale?

Although Bale wasn't a member of the eating, drinking, and playing group, everyone was undoubtedly good friends.

Since they were friends… then the "because of friendship" talent would naturally be useful.

Although it only had a 10% effect, it was better than 0%, right?

Moreover, when this talent was actually used, it would be found that the 10% effect was mainly reflected in those impossible assists. If Chen Hero was waiting in front of the goal, Bale easily broke through, the goalkeeper came out to block Bale, and Chen Hero was facing an empty goal, and Bale then passed the football horizontally to let Chen Hero score into the empty goal, this kind of technically simple assist would not trigger the talent.

Because there was no need for a talent bonus to achieve a successful assist.

So this talent was mainly for those assist passes that seemed very difficult and had a very low success rate.

Now, Bale's right-footed cross was just right to meet the requirements, wasn't it?

Chen Hero now wanted to see how good his luck was. Could this 10% chance allow him to hit it with his head!

He aimed at the opportunity and jumped high in the sprint!

Kompany and Clichy also jumped up with him, still sandwiching him in the middle.

※※※

After Bale passed the ball, he kept staring at the football. He had done all he could, although it wasn't perfect, but there was no way, this was his limit.

Now he could only see if fate would favor their Liverpool.

He saw Chen Hero jump up.

His heart moved—could this ball really have a chance?

Then the football and the three people met in the air.

Chen Hero shook his head…

He didn't hit the football!

At least from Bale's point of view, he didn't hit the football, because he shook his head towards the near post, but the football didn't change direction at all, and continued to fly towards the far post!

He still passed it a little too high!

Damn it!

He clenched his fists.

※※※

The Manchester City fans who had been staring all the time finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

Kompany and Clichy also breathed a sigh of relief, and smiles appeared on their faces.

This defense was successful!

Not only them, but Boas also let go of his clenched fists. This time… it could be considered that they had escaped.

But why were his temples still aching faintly?

Just then, he saw Joe Hart suddenly jump up and pounce towards the far post, and then a thought suddenly exploded in his mind.

He understood why his temples were still hurting.

Because the danger hadn't disappeared…

※※※

Did the football really not change direction?

Joe Hart didn't think so.

When the football passed over Chen Hero's head, it suddenly had a small change of direction, very inconspicuous, but Joe Hart caught it.

The football was lower than the previously estimated flight path, slightly shifted down a little bit, and that little bit was the difference between heaven and hell.

If it continued to fly according to the previous trajectory, the football would most likely fly over the crossbar and out of the baseline.

But now that it was a little lower, there was a high probability that it would fly into the goal!

Joe Hart jumped up and pounced towards the far post with all his might.

But when he saw the football change direction and then pounced, how could he have time?

The football划 past his hands and flew directly into the goal…

Goal!

Scored!

※※※

Bale was originally desperate, but he didn't expect that it would be resolved in the end. He was stunned in place, not understanding what was going on.

Didn't he not touch it? If he didn't touch it, the ball should have flown directly out of the crossbar…

He knew very well what kind of ball he had passed.

This was definitely not kicked in by him, so there was only one reason…

He shifted his gaze from the football to the person.

Chen Hero, who had just landed, spread his arms and ran towards him!

Was it Hero?

He actually did it?!

※※※

"Goal! Goal! Goal! Yes, it's a goal! It's really unexpected… This ball actually went in!"

"Who scored the goal? Is it Bale? No… The subtitles below say it's… it's Hero! He grazed the football!"

"It's Hero! Hero scored twice! He grazed the football, causing the football to have a very slight change of direction, but it was this change of direction that allowed the football to finally fly into the goal!"

After seeing that the football actually flew into the goal in the end, the commentary box also boiled over.

Because no one expected that this counterattack would end up like this in the end, and the process was so tortuous.

At first, Liverpool's counterattack was fierce, making people think that Manchester City was doomed.

Later, when they saw Bale crossing with his least skilled right foot, everyone felt that Manchester City had escaped this time.

Who would have thought that in the end, it would end with the football flying into the goal…

This was really beyond everyone's expectations!

※※※

When the football flew into the goal, Boas on the sidelines seemed to have been petrified, standing there motionless, not even a hair on his body moving…

He couldn't believe his eyes. He was watching the ball fly out of the crossbar just now, how did it end up in the goal?

Could it be… that Chen Hero really grazed it?

That damned Chen Hero, why is his luck still so good!

Why, why doesn't the goddess of luck favor me?

What else do I need to do?

After surprise came anger.

But the anger came quickly and went quickly. After the anger, he felt as if the strength in his whole body had been sucked away.

He didn't even have the strength to wave his fist or kick his foot to express his anger and dissatisfaction.

He just stood on the edge of the command area, maintaining this posture, motionless.

Looking at his pitiful back, Aguero on the bench snorted again.

Idiot!

This was his evaluation of Boas.

To try to fight Chen Hero with this kind of trick, isn't that idiotic?

Pity, pity.

Even if you drive me away, you won't achieve the success you want at Manchester City…

Because Manchester City is in the Premier League, and the Premier League has Liverpool, and Liverpool has Chen Hero!
