"Hero's going up! Hero's going up!"

The commentators shouted excitedly as Chen Hero joined the fray.

Everyone knew Chen Hero’s temperament and characteristics. How could he be absent from something like this?

The yellow cards Chen Hero received in his career were mainly for taking off his shirt to celebrate, but most of his red cards were for joining in on the fun…

As long as Chen Hero couldn't control his emotions, everyone would have a good show.

But to their surprise, Chen Hero was unusually calm in the face of this unfair penalty!

He wasn't there to add fuel to the fire, but to pull his teammates apart and calm them down!

A group of commentators waiting for a good show were dumbfounded.

Then Chen Hero said something to Hoyle Eduardo, who had received a red card. The latter nodded and turned to leave.

Previously, the referee Rodney didn't know how many times he had gestured to Eduardo to leave the field, but Eduardo had stubbornly refused to go.

Chen Hero’s words were more effective than authority, demonstrating the demeanor of Liverpool’s boss to the fullest.

※※※

Eduardo left the field with grievances and tears. The Liverpool fans in the stands were not happy. Although they were few in number, they had the right to express their opinions and views.

So they booed the referee madly.

They shouted, "This is premeditated murder! This is premeditated murder!"

Then their angry protests were drowned out by the cheers of the Manchester City fans.

Although they failed to get Chen Hero off the field, getting Liverpool to lose a player a few minutes into the game was still a gain.

Most importantly, Manchester City fans did not believe that the action against Chen Hero would end there. From the information they had, the Manchester City fans were determined to get Chen Hero off the field this time.

If it didn't work this time, there would be a next time!

※※※

The game restarted with a throw-in.

Liverpool players had kicked the ball out of bounds, so Manchester City players would throw it in.

Generally speaking, in this situation, the team throwing the ball should throw it back to the team that kicked it out, as a sign of friendship, which is also basic sportsmanship.

But this code of ethics is not suitable for Liverpool and Manchester City.

If a Manchester City player was injured and fell to the ground, whether it was a real injury or a fake injury, Liverpool players would choose to ignore it directly. They would continue to dribble the ball to attack, either to shoot and score or to be stopped.

And Manchester City would make the same choice when faced with such a situation.

No one would protest to the referee, and neither side’s fans would boo about it. This was taken for granted—what does it matter to us whether your players live or die?

The same was true for this throw-in. The Manchester City players did not throw the ball back to the Liverpool players, and the Liverpool players did not raise their hands to ask the referee for it. The game started directly like this.

※※※

Chen Hero’s calmness earlier made many people feel strange and confused. With Chen Hero’s personality, even if he was forty years old, he would be very aggressive when facing Manchester City.

This could be seen from his pre-match remarks.

Everyone thought it was normal for him to remain calm in other games, but they thought it was abnormal for him to remain calm in this game.

He shouldn't and couldn't be so calm.

But he was calm. Why?

In fact, Chen Hero wasn't calm. He was just restraining himself. His heart was very angry, and a ball of anger was burning fiercely.

Then he wanted to turn this ball of anger into a constant source of motivation.

He said he would make Manchester City regret messing with him.

In fact, when the referee Rodney showed Eduardo a red card, Chen Hero was very angry. He even wanted to punch this hateful guy! But he held back.

Because he knew that his teammates, like Eduardo, were desperately protecting him, even at the cost of a red card. They just hoped that he could stay on the field.

As long as he could stay on the field, he could teach the Manchester City bastards a lesson.

So whether he wanted to or not, he had to endure it.

He clenched his fists several times by himself before finally holding back.

But he couldn't keep holding back forever. He needed an emotional outlet.

He aimed at Manchester City.

※※※

"Rodney's penalty is completely unfounded and unreasonable! It's just nonsense!" Liverpool commentator Harry Levy was still indignant. "There was no information before indicating that Rodney was prejudiced against Liverpool. As a rising star among young referees, it was normal for him to have officiated Liverpool games before. His sudden change is suspicious, but I think the problem is not with Rodney, but with..."

He still had a bellyful of anger that he hadn't vented, and there were still many words he hadn't finished saying, when he was interrupted by the huge boos from the scene.

The ball fell to Chen Hero’s feet.

Manchester City fans booed deafeningly.

Chen Hero didn't shoot directly from long range. Instead, he feigned a shot and then passed the ball to Carlton Cole, who came up to meet him.

Carlton Cole had received a yellow card in the previous conflict with the referee. Manchester City players had seen it and remembered it. They knew very well how to anger a person and then get him a second yellow card and kick him out.

So Manchester City's defensive midfielder, William Chris, charged up from behind. His goal was not to intercept the ball, but to give Cole a little color, so as to anger him.

Once or twice, doing it constantly like this, and he could successfully provoke Cole's anger. He wouldn't even need to do it too many times. The Liverpool players were all emotionally unstable in this game, too excited and angry. Even the tiniest spark could cause an earth-shattering explosion!

Chris was good at reading people's faces. He could see from what coach Rodney had done with Eduardo's red card that the referee was on their side in this game.

He knew that the FA hated Chen Hero, and maybe this was what the FA had deliberately arranged…

In other words, no matter what he did, as long as he could eventually get rid of Chen Hero, the FA would not pursue him… Even if his movements were a little big, the referee would probably pretend not to see it!

Thinking of this, Chris rushed forward, his knee hitting solidly under Carlton Cole's thigh.

Then Cole's legs went soft and he fell forward.

But before he lost his balance, he had already passed the ball out.

The ball was passed to his side, and then he fell to the ground himself.

Generally speaking, the referee should blow his whistle for a foul by the defending side in this kind of situation.

But this was a match between Liverpool and Manchester City, and neither side’s players cared about the other side’s life or death. So the referee Rodney didn't blow his whistle, and he also pretended to raise his hands, making a gesture of advantage to the attack and continuing the game.

But he soon regretted his decision.

After William Chris knocked Cole over, he raised his hands to show his innocence.

His teammates behind him didn't have the leisure for this. They rushed towards the ball at the first opportunity.

Because they saw Chen Hero also running towards the ball!

※※※

In fact, after Chen Hero passed the ball to Cole, he followed up, originally wanting to play a one-two with Cole.

Who would have thought that Cole would fall down, but fortunately he passed the ball out.

So when he saw this scene, he immediately accelerated and rushed towards the ball.

Sure enough, as he expected, the Manchester City players behind William Chris also rushed up.

The two sides launched a fierce scramble for the ball as the ultimate goal.

Chen Hero exploded with amazing speed at this moment. The forty-year-old ran faster than the twenty- or thirty-year-old lads! Anger propelled his body beyond its age limit at this moment, completing an explosion!

He rushed to the ball in three steps, and he grasped the rhythm very accurately. When his left foot stepped past, his right foot was raised, just like the running motion. He could kick his right foot down smoothly. Instead of stopping and then swinging his foot...

Ahead of everyone, his right foot hit the ball hard.

Bang!

Strangely, the scene was so noisy, but everyone at the scene heard this muffled sound, as if Chen Hero had kicked the ball right next to their ears.

※※※

The ball, solidly kicked by Chen Hero, flew towards the goal.

When it flew past between the two Manchester City players who came up to block it, the sharp wind even made them close their eyes involuntarily. Even so, they still felt a faint pain in their cheeks, as if they had been cut by a knife.

Manchester City goalkeeper Carter Campbell had already made a save when Chen Hero swung his foot. He definitely couldn't wait until the ball was kicked out and then see which direction the ball was flying before making a move. If he did that, it would be over!

Defending against Chen Hero's long shot basically relies on guessing.

But Chen Hero's kick still far exceeded Campbell's expectations.

Even if he jumped in advance, he couldn't catch up with the ball…

The ball went from outside the penalty area to his eyes in almost the blink of an eye.

Then in another blink of an eye, the ball flew into the goal from his side.

When the ball hit the net, he made a complete save. The contrast between the before and after made him look like he was deliberately performing a slow and funny show. But he knew he wasn't. He had tried his best to save in advance, but he didn't expect this result in the end…

※※※

"Goal… Goal! Goal!!!"

The commentary box finally erupted in exclamations for the goal.

"An unbelievably fast goal! This is Hero's all-out kick! It completely penetrated Manchester City's defense!"

"A world-class goal!! This is definitely a world-class goal!"

"Carter Campbell is like an idiot! In the face of Hero's long shot, he's slower than a snail!"

"Ah, the computer has given the statistics… Hero's kick just now reached an amazing 240 kilometers per hour! Lightning speed! Too terrible! I don't think anyone in this world can save this ball!"

"The speed of this shot broke Chen Hero's own record and became the fastest goal of his career! Can you believe it? This was kicked by a forty-year-old guy! We should really pull him in for an autopsy to see what his body is made of!"

Only Harry Levy knew why: "This is Hero's angry strike! He poured all the injustice Liverpool suffered before into this shot! No conspiracy or trick can defeat this great team!!!"

He was already shouting at the top of his lungs!

Any Liverpool supporter who had experienced the scene just now and then saw Chen Hero's goal simply couldn't feel any better!

Whether in front of the TV or the few on the scene, they all jumped up from their seats, waving their fists and roaring recklessly, "That's right! Hero!! Well done!"
