Chapter 1 After Chen Hero's Goal

After Chen Hero scored, the applause that suddenly rang out in the Allianz Arena surprised the Liverpool players.

At first, they thought it was applause from the Liverpool fans. But soon they realized something was wrong—only three thousand Liverpool fans had come to watch the game here. How could three thousand people make such a huge applause?

So they curiously raised their heads and looked around the stands. They found that most of the people standing up and applauding for the goal were actually Bayern Munich fans wearing Bayern jerseys!

It was an unexpected and impressive scene.

Watching those opposing fans applauding Chen Hero's goal, the Liverpool players were shocked.

So their respect for their captain was even greater—this was a great player who could conquer the enemy!

We can actually fight side by side with him, spend time with him day and night... This is our honor!

This aroused the fighting spirit of the Liverpool players.

Chen Hero didn't expect that the Bayern Munich fans would applaud his goal. For a while, he didn't know what was going on—because of his unique personality, he had never received applause from opposing fans in opposing stadiums.

In fact, even if his personality wasn't unique, it would be difficult to get such treatment. Not everyone in world football can do it.

This scene well proved his status in world football.

Perhaps many years later, people will forget the score of this game, and forget the specific content of this game, but this scene will remain in people's minds forever as a classic. It will be repeatedly mentioned by countless media and fans, constantly refreshed, and deeply rooted.

Just like when Ronaldinho conquered Real Madrid fans at the Bernabéu.

※※※

Although the Bayern Munich fans applauded Chen Hero, this does not mean that they will like Chen Hero because of this.

Just like Real Madrid fans applauded Ronaldinho, but when Ronaldinho transferred to AC Milan and then represented AC Milan to play at the Bernabéu, he still received boos from the audience.

So Bayern Munich fans will not change their position because of this.

Similarly, Chen Hero and the entire Liverpool team will not show mercy to Bayern Munich because of the applause of the Bayern Munich fans.

One thing is one thing. Of course, they appreciate the respect shown by the Bayern Munich fans for Chen Hero.

But this has nothing to do with their desire to defeat Bayern Munich.

After the game restarted, Liverpool continued to attack frantically. At the Allianz Arena, they behaved more like a home team.

Bayern Munich's prepared tactics were rendered meaningless because Chen Hero touched the ball as little as possible.

Next, it became a contest of the hard power of the two teams.

Liverpool and Bayern Munich are similar in strength, but Chen Hero is an exception. He alone can be worth half a team.

Afterwards, Chen Hero originally had a chance to score twice, but his shot was desperately blocked by Harris.

Although Chen Hero didn't score, Carlton Cole seized the opportunity and followed up with a shot to break the goal.

Before the end of the first half, Bayern Munich tenaciously pulled back a goal, reserving suspense for the second half.

After the start of the second half, although Liverpool was one goal ahead and had two away goals, it stands to reason that they should have retreated to defend and avoid being equalized by the opponent's counterattack.

The current score is enough for Liverpool to occupy a favorable position on the road to promotion.

But Liverpool didn't do this. They were not satisfied with this, but chose to continue their crazy attack.

From the beginning of the second half, it was another replica of the first half. Liverpool bombarded Bayern Munich's goal!

Bayern Munich couldn't care less about equalizing the score. In the face of Liverpool's powerful offensive, they had to defend desperately to avoid conceding another goal.

If they continue to concede goals, Bayern Munich basically doesn't need to play the second leg. Because it is impossible for them to defeat Liverpool by a large score at Stanley Park.

The current score is still acceptable for Bayern Munich. Only one goal behind, even if they go to the away game, there is still room for maneuver and room for effort.

But how could Liverpool let Bayern Munich make such a calculation?

In their frantic bombardment, Chen Hero scored again.

※※※

This goal was not as exciting as the first one. Chen Hero still only touched the ball once, and then the ball was touched in by him.

This is a typical goal grab in front of the goal, but he used his foot instead of his best head.

What's wonderful is the series of wonderful runs and passes between the Liverpool players in front. Chen Hero's final blow seems unremarkable.

After scoring the goal, Chen Hero didn't run wildly to celebrate, but called his teammates over to celebrate with him.

Because this is a team goal, the honor of the goal belongs to the entire team.

The Liverpool players passed the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt, with various cross-switches and various passes and cuts, abruptly tearing apart Bayern Munich's defense and creating an opportunity for Chen Hero.

Next, Chen Hero's goal became a matter of course.

"3:1! Liverpool is two goals ahead of Bayern Munich away! This goal fully demonstrates the tacit cooperation and skillful skills of the Liverpool players! Who said they are Chen Hero's parasites? They also have their own value! Look at such a wonderful team goal, it's all their credit!"

※※※

In the end, Liverpool defeated Bayern Munich 3:1 on the road thanks to Chen Hero's two goals.

They got three away goals and led by two goals. The second leg was back to their home court. Many people believed that they could basically announce their promotion to the final. Now it depends on who will be Liverpool's opponent in the final.

As for the loser Bayern Munich, few people care about it anymore. Many people think that they have been eliminated and there is no value in continuing to care about them.

Everyone's eyes and attention are focused on the winner.

But this is the cruelty of football.

The winner is the king, and even if the loser wants to win sympathy, he will be laughed at.

The media has begun to speculate whether Liverpool will still suffer the curse of fate this season, just like in the previous six seasons.

In the past six seasons, Liverpool has only reached the final once, and was defeated by Juventus.

So even if they reach the final, it doesn't mean they can successfully restore their reign.

Some people are optimistic about them, and some people are not optimistic about them.

However, with their perfect performance in the semi-final away game, more and more people are optimistic about them, and many of those who were not optimistic about them before have also defected.

This season's Liverpool is different from the Liverpool that reached the final last time.

Liverpool's last entry into the Champions League final was the first time they lost the Champions League title.

At that time, Liverpool had won the Champions League trophy for nine consecutive years. Their people seemed to be a little tired of this highest honor in European football, and the consequence was the team's relaxation—anyway, no matter how we play, the final champion will definitely be our Liverpool.

Who would have thought that this time they relaxed too much and lost to the experienced, calm, and well-prepared Juventus in the final.

They lost the opportunity for a ten-game winning streak.

At that time, this blow was very heavy for Liverpool.

Liverpool had a big cleaning that summer.

But the cleaning did not work. In the next two consecutive seasons, Liverpool stopped in the top sixteen. For a time, it seemed that they were going to become "Sixteen".

Fortunately, Liverpool later worked hard and returned to the top eight.

Finally, they did not become a real Sixteen.

The last time Liverpool entered the final but returned empty-handed was because they underestimated the enemy. In fact, many media analyzed afterwards that if Liverpool was a little more serious, Juventus would not have had any chance.

But unfortunately, they were too relaxed at the beginning, and finally couldn't tighten up.

But this time it's completely different.

This Liverpool team has not shown that they underestimate the enemy in any game. They are very serious in every game. It reminds many people of Liverpool in the era when they were very hungry for the championship.

It's been six years, and they haven't won a Champions League title. No matter how full they were before, they should be hungry at this time.

So this year's Liverpool is different from the past.

They have a hunger for the championship, they are united, and they never underestimate the enemy.

Even if Chen Hero is six years older than before, so what?

You can't see any traces of time on him at all. The forty-year-old him is not much different from the thirty-four-year-old him. He is still a legend who can change the outcome of the game single-handedly.

So this Liverpool still has the strength to win the championship.

Perhaps, it is the only time they can win the championship.

Because after Chen Hero retires next season, Liverpool's strength will decline significantly, and it will be impossible to pose any threat to those giants in Europe.

So this season will be their last chance.

At that time, the entire Liverpool team will inevitably explode with ten times, or even a hundred times, the energy of normal times.

At that time, maybe the whole of Europe will once again feel the fear they once felt.

At that time, under the sweep of the Red Dynasty, the whole of Europe could only tremble under the iron hooves of the Red Army.

Participating in the Champions League is a painful thing for these wealthy teams.

If you are unlucky, you will meet Liverpool in the group stage. If you are lucky, you will meet Liverpool in the final. Anyway, you will have to meet Liverpool sooner or later. And meeting Liverpool at that time was one ending—losing!

This day when Liverpool monopolized the Champions League lasted until six seasons ago. Liverpool finally lost the game, and while everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they didn't want to relive the past.

Originally, everything went smoothly. Six seasons have passed, and Liverpool can no longer make waves in the Champions League.

Who would have thought that when Chen Hero was about to leave the team, he brought that Liverpool team back again!

Like a nightmare, it is destined to make the whole of Europe bow down and submit to him again!
