Chapter 1653 Premier League Showdown (First guaranteed update)
The impact of this event continues to spread.
From England to the European continent.
Those Champions League powerhouses suddenly realized that Chen Hero is in such excellent form right now, what kind of threat will this Liverpool pose to them when they meet in the Champions League?
They were fortunate that the quarter-finals were a battle between Liverpool and Manchester United.
They hoped that Manchester United could defeat Liverpool, but now their hopes were slim.
What should they do if they encounter Liverpool in the semi-finals?
Many teams began to scratch their heads.
For them, this was indeed a very difficult question.
But they were not unfamiliar with this feeling, because they had been scratching their heads for more than a decade before.
During Chen Hero's nine-month ban, many people thought this had become an unbearable memory.
Who would have thought that in Chen Hero's last season before retirement, they would have to re-experience this "red terror" once again.
※※※
Chen Hero's influence made the whole of Europe headache.
Liverpool's 17-0 victory over Manchester City cleared many obstacles for them.
In the league, many teams would choose to avoid such a high-spirited team.
Otherwise, fighting Liverpool to the death would only result in their own more miserable demise. Manchester City is a vivid example.
Now many people believe that Liverpool can win their fifteenth Premier League title.
In the thirtieth round, Liverpool faced Portsmouth at home. Gerrard continued to rotate players, replacing half of the main team, but this Liverpool still easily defeated Portsmouth 4-1 at home.
Chen Hero only played half the game and scored twice.
His goal tally in the league reached thirty-one.
Louis Nacho was indeed frightened by Chen Hero's performance of scoring thirteen goals in one game. In this round of the league, although he played the full ninety minutes and had the help and support of all the team's players, he did not score a single goal.
The gap between him and Chen Hero's goal tally has widened to three goals.
The Premier League Golden Boot is indeed gradually moving away from him.
When commentating on Manchester United's game, the commentator shook his head more than once and said: "Poor Nacho, he's been frightened!"
This sentence later became a catchphrase for Liverpool fans to mock Nacho and Manchester United.
There was even a music producer who was a Liverpool fan who created a song called "Poor Nacho", in which the chorus repeatedly chanted the line "Poor Nacho, he's been frightened!"
After being posted on YouTube, the number of clicks soared rapidly. Of course, the comments were mutual attacks between Liverpool fans and Manchester United fans.
Manchester United fans scolded Liverpool for only being able to rely on a forty-year-old guy, which was simply a disgrace to a wealthy club.
Liverpool fans scolded Manchester United for sour grapes, and in reality they wanted to rely on a forty-year-old player more than anyone else, if they had one...
In fact, all of this was warming up for the next round of the league.
In the next round of the league, the thirty-first round, Manchester United will face Liverpool at home.
※※※
Even in Liverpool's most crazy and glorious years, when Manchester United was at their lowest ebb, the clash between these two teams was still the most eye-catching game in English football - this eye-catching was not to say on a global scale, but only limited to England.
Because only the English truly understand what the clash between Liverpool and Manchester United means.
The clash between these two teams has nothing to do with their respective rankings, only with historical heritage.
Perhaps some overseas fans think that Manchester City is the team that Liverpool hates the most now, but the English all know that Liverpool will never change their attitude. They hate Manchester United the most.
Conversely, Manchester United is the same.
Before this game, Manchester United ranked second, Arsenal ranked first, and Liverpool relied on a winning streak to rise to third in the league.
The difference between them and Manchester United was only three points.
If Liverpool can beat Manchester United away in this game, they can catch up with Manchester United in the standings. Of course, this will not change their ranking, because Manchester United is still stronger than Liverpool in terms of goal difference.
But this is a good start.
Because being chased by a deadly enemy all the time is not a good feeling. Not to mention that this deadly enemy also has a freak like Chen Hero.
No one can withstand such pressure for a long time.
But all of this is on the premise that they can beat Manchester United at Old Trafford.
For Liverpool fans, there is no suspense.
The pressure is all on Manchester United's side.
With Liverpool's current form, what if it is at Old Trafford?
Back then, Liverpool had more than once conquered this Theatre of Dreams.

The news media should thank Liverpool fans and YouTube. Because if it weren't for this incident, they might not have anything to hype.
Originally, before the game between Liverpool and Manchester City, they thought that when the derby came, they would take the two teams' shooters out for comparison.
Anyway, these two people have been competing for the Premier League Golden Boot.
At that time, although Chen Hero was eleven goals behind, everyone felt that Chen Hero still had hope, so the Premier League Golden Boot this season was suspenseful. They planned to start from here and produce a special topic.
Who would have thought that after the game between Liverpool and Manchester City, this special topic that they had planned for a long time had lost any meaning.
Now, if anyone still makes this topic of discussing the ownership of the best shooter, and asks in a serious manner "Can Hero catch up with Nacho in the face of a huge gap of eleven goals?", they will definitely be considered an idiot.
The topic that seemed valuable and worthy of hype before has become a bubble.
Chen Hero reversed Nacho in one game, so what suspense is there!
Next, we will once again relive the scene that has been staged time and time again in the past ten seasons.
That is, Chen Hero will lead the way and throw all competitors ten streets away!
Everyone can only eat dust behind him and watch him lift the Premier League Golden Boot.
This is really boring.
Now fortunately, the music producer who is a Liverpool fan has made such a music video.
Causing fans on both sides to quarrel.
They also follow up accordingly.
Of course, this is still caused by the shooter competition.
The unscrupulous media ran to interview Nacho and asked him to talk about his views on this song.
What views can Nacho have? He is at the lowest point of his emotions.
So he refused to answer the reporters' questions.
Not only that, but Manchester United also banned reporters from asking this question, otherwise they would cancel their qualifications to interview Manchester United.
In fact, without interviewing Nacho, everyone knows what Nacho thinks.
He did not score a goal in the last round of the league.
It has well explained his thoughts - he was hit hard!
※※※
In this way, the game between Liverpool and Manchester United is getting closer and closer.
Every Liverpool fan is very optimistic before the game.
Think that Manchester United can't pose any threat to them. Even at home.
Because as long as Manchester United dares to show strength, then Chen Hero will resolutely suppress it.
This has become the most unsolvable thing in the past ten years - if Manchester United is ambitious and in excellent condition, then they will face a Chen Hero who is in better condition and more ambitious in the game, and then they will die miserably. If they don't want to encounter such a perverted Chen Hero, they better be low, and if they are low, then they are doomed without Chen Hero working hard.
Anyway, Manchester United is going to lose.
In these ten seasons, Liverpool is not saying that they can win every game. They will also lose games in the Premier League.
But no matter who they lose to, even if they lose to the promoted team or the relegation team, they will never lose to Manchester United.
This is Liverpool's bottom line. Over the years, whether it is domestic league, domestic cup or Champions League, Liverpool have never lost to Manchester United.
Even during the time when Chen Hero was banned, in the first half of this season, Liverpool did not lose to Manchester United at their home ground, but only drew with Manchester United.
It is because of such a record that Liverpool fans have absolute confidence in Liverpool - we have not lost to Manchester United without Chen Hero, and now that we have a hero who can score thirteen goals in a single game, it is even more impossible to lose to Manchester United!
※※※
For Manchester United, the game in the first half of this season was the most tragic, because they originally thought that Liverpool did not have Chen Hero, and they could finally take revenge and win a victory against Liverpool.
Who would have thought that in that game, the entire Liverpool team was as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, shrinking in their own penalty area, defending for ninety minutes, and defending a 0:0 draw.
At that time, they may not have felt anything about this result, thinking that there was still a chance to return to the home court anyway.
But when Chen Hero scored five goals in his first game after his comeback and helped Liverpool slaughter Chelsea 7-0, Manchester United's thoughts changed.
They now regret very much that they were not able to grit their teeth and take down Liverpool at that time.
Now, although they are at home, Manchester United is not confident that they can win Liverpool.
Especially before this game, they suffered a heavy blow again - they were originally leading Chen Hero by twelve goals, which made Louis Nacho high-spirited. Manchester United's ability to rank second this season is largely due to Nacho's outbreak.
Nacho's goals are Manchester United's guarantee.
This is also the only trump card that Manchester United can compete with Liverpool.
Who would have thought that Chen Hero would completely explode in the game against Manchester City, scoring thirteen goals in one game.
Not only did he knock Manchester City down, but he also frightened Nacho.
Outsiders may not be clear enough, but the people inside Manchester United are watching Nacho's emotions drop day by day.
This genius player seems to be caught in a vicious circle of "self-doubt and then not scoring, because he is not scoring so he continues to self-doubt, because he continues to self-doubt, so he continues not to score".
This makes Manchester United coach Solskjaer deeply worried.
