Chapter 275 Pure Man

When Richards was flipped over by Chen Hero and landed on the ground spinning, he didn't roll around in pain, as everyone often saw, with a pained expression. Instead, he lay motionless on the ground.

But this was the real situation, without any acting embellishments.

When a person suffers such a sudden blow, he doesn't have the leisure to roll six circles on the ground, tracing an arc.

Therefore, everyone watching could deeply feel how ruthless Chen Hero's kick was—completely more ruthless than Richards's earlier tackle on Suárez!

So ruthless that it made people grit their teeth, feeling the pain for Richards.

Everyone was shocked by Chen Hero's unheralded, sudden kick, so when he tackled Richards, Anfield Stadium was silent.

Chen Hero, however, was not willing to let it go. After tackling the man, he rushed forward, striding to Richards's side in one step. From the tackle to the stand to the stoop, the entire series of movements was completed in one go, smooth and flowing, with high ornamental value.

Rushing to Richards, Chen Hero bent down and spat at Richards, who was still lying on the ground: "Bah! Don't think no one can deal with you! This is retribution, you bastard! Fuck!"

After cursing, he got up and walked off the field without looking back.

He knew that this action would definitely get him a straight red card.

He never harbored any illusions. From the moment he decided to do this, he was mentally prepared to accept any punishment.

Unlike Richards, who committed a malicious foul but wanted to get away with it and avoid being sent off, he, Chen Hero, was a real man. If you do something, you have to take responsibility!

The referee ran over, chasing after him to show him a red card.

But a real man never looks back at the card!

Chen Hero walked off the field without looking back.

"Hero commits a malicious foul! He's been sent off! But judging from the force and attitude of his foul, I'm afraid a one-game suspension won't be enough, there will definitely be additional penalties!"

"Hero stands up for Suárez, sending himself off the field with a very brutal flying tackle, and also sending Richards down—the Manchester City team doctor has made a substitution gesture, it seems this young man can't hold on..."

After a brief silence, the commentators also came alive.

"Hero obviously already knows his result, so he turned and walked off the field without looking back. We finally see that hot-tempered bad boy again! He's been with Liverpool for almost half a season, and he's been like an ordinary player, except for being particularly good at scoring goals, there's nothing special about him... To be honest, the media were about to be disappointed, and then this finally happened! He harmed Richards with a very malicious action to avenge Suárez, and also got himself a red card! This is really bad for Liverpool, but for Hero, he obviously doesn't take it seriously, look at the expression on his face as he walks off... utter disdain!"

※※※

Some Manchester City players were outraged by Chen Hero's malicious foul and rushed up to make trouble for Chen Hero, either to argue with him, or to curse him: "You butcher!" "Executioner!"

But it was no use. Chen Hero didn't even look at those Manchester City players roaring around him, and just walked towards the sidelines with a sneer.

Some people even tried to push Chen Hero, but they couldn't touch him, and were pushed away by other Liverpool players.

Although Chen Hero's action was a malicious foul, since he was standing up for his teammate, it naturally aroused a sense of camaraderie among the Liverpool players—our people were maliciously attacked by your people, and the referee only gave a yellow card, if our people retaliate, you better shut up! Otherwise, we won't stand by and watch our own people get bullied!

Chen Hero's actions won him more favor from the Liverpool players, and now his status in everyone's mind is even higher... Before, to be honest, he was just a very generous and cheerful guy, often treating everyone to dinner. But off the field is off the field, and on the field is on the field, one thing at a time.

Chen Hero's seemingly irrational action won everyone's favor instead, thinking that he was truly a pure man who dared to take responsibility and seek revenge!

Just for this, we must support him! Because everyone has times when they are in trouble on the court, and everyone will encounter injustice, but due to such and such irresistible reasons, most people will choose to remain silent and swallow their anger. But as long as they think that even if they are cowering, Chen Hero will stand up to support them without hesitation, even if it costs them a heavy price, many people feel warm inside.

I want to support Chen Hero, if I don't support him, maybe when I'm unlucky, there won't be someone like Chen Hero to stand up and help me.

In this way, Chen Hero walked out of the stadium under the "escort" of his teammates.

Dalglish went up and gave Chen Hero a hug. Although he was dissatisfied with Chen Hero's voluntary red card, he did it to avenge his teammates. For old-school coaches like Dalglish, this is one of the most valuable qualities of a football player, and this quality should be encouraged, not suppressed.

Because football, in England, is a sport between men, and teammates are more important than anything else on the field, you must never abandon your teammates. If he is bullied, you must stand up for him—this is the philosophy of many older generation English football players.

But now, it's becoming less and less popular, because everyone thinks it's too stupid. They will choose to use more skillful and rational ways to express their support for their teammates. This may not achieve the desired effect, but at least they are safe.

As for Chen Hero's way of doing things, which is full of violence and gunpowder, it is becoming less and less common in today's football.

Just like in the past, the football world was full of various eccentric madmen, "Savage" Savage, "Crazy Gang Boss" Vinnie Jones, "Mad Mouse" Wise, "Tiger" Effenberg, "Lion King" Kahn, "Manchester United's King" Cantona... and Roy Keane, Palermo, Higuita, Campos, Asprilla... these people were always full of controversy, but they were indispensable components of the colorful world football in the 1990s.

Although today's football world is full of stars, Dalglish always feels that it is far worse than it was in the last century. Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are the best two players in today's football, and everyone else is too far away from them, and Barcelona and Real Madrid are too strong, completely different from the pattern of multiple heroes rising in the last century.

Although football at that time only had black and white colors, it was colorful because of many players and teams. Today's football has more and more styles and more and more fancy colors, but in fact there are only two colors, becoming more and more monotonous and boring.

Under such circumstances, Chen Hero rose abruptly. His appearance surprised many people. Many of his things make people think he is a fool and a moron. But in fact, those things he did were commonplace in the football world in earlier years...

So he didn't fly into a rage. Although he was also somewhat dissatisfied with Chen Hero's voluntary red card, which put Liverpool in a difficult situation, this dissatisfaction could be completely resolved through private communication between the two of them, and it was not a question of right and wrong.

Now, on the question of right and wrong, he wants to fully support Chen Hero.

Therefore, he went up and hugged Chen Hero, expressing his support as the head coach.

Chen Hero naturally thanked the head coach for his support, so he, who was righteous and resolute in tackling people, still expressed his apology in Dalglish's ear while hugging him: "Sorry, boss, I was impulsive!"

"It's good that you know, but now it's none of your business, go down and rest!"

Chen Hero released Dalglish and turned to walk towards the player tunnel.

At this time, there was a huge applause from the stands of Anfield Stadium!

This was all from those Liverpool fans to Chen Hero, and they were using this method to express their gratitude and support to Chen Hero!

Those fans who were close to the tunnel simply squeezed over, gave Chen Hero a thumbs up, and shouted: "Good job, Hero! Well done!" "That's the way to do it!"

Chen Hero raised his arms, accepting the cheers of the fans as if he had scored a goal, and then applauded to thank them, before walking into the player tunnel...

Suárez was receiving emergency treatment from the team doctor in the locker room—before, on the sidelines, the conditions were limited and the environment was not good. So the team doctor supported him, limping back to the locker room.

He cursed and scolded Richards countless times in his heart, because he knew how serious his injury was. After the examination, the team doctor had told him to prepare for a month of rest, and this was only a preliminary estimate, a relatively optimistic result. If it was more serious... The team doctor didn't say it, but he could guess.

So he was angry about Richards's harsh attack on him, but he couldn't even stand up at the time, otherwise he would have rushed up and punched Richards directly.

Now he regrets not doing something at the time, but just lying on the ground holding his ankle and groaning.

Just when he was indignant about his "weakness" and the opponent's ferocity, he heard the sound of the door opening.

He was surprised when he saw the locker room door being pushed open and Chen Hero walking in.

"Why are you here?" This was not asked by him, but by the team doctor who also heard the sound of the door opening and turned to look.

"I was sent off with a red card." Chen Hero shrugged, then walked straight to Suárez's side and asked with a frown, "How's the injury?"

"The situation is not optimistic..." The team doctor shook his head and said in a low voice.

"Damn..." Chen Hero turned to comfort Suárez again. "It's okay, Luis, I avenged you! I tackled that bastard off the field, also on the ankle! I think he'll have to rest for at least as long as you!"

The team doctor was surprised: "So that's why you're here now?"

Chen Hero nodded casually: "Yeah!"

The team doctor was speechless.

Suárez was also speechless...

He was speechless not because Chen Hero was sent off with a red card and was so carefree, but because he would rather be sent off with a red card in order to avenge him!

He must admit that after he was injured, he had this thought: "Damn it, Hero is going to take advantage of this again!"

Unexpectedly, Hero didn't get any advantage—he brought himself down!

For a moment, he didn't know what to say. He lowered his head, not wanting Chen Hero to see his tangled, complicated, and inexplicable expression.

Chen Hero still thought that Suárez was worried about his injury, so he reached out and patted Chen Hero on the shoulder again: "Nothing to worry about, Luis!"

Suárez nodded, but didn't say anything.
