The joy of eliminating Manchester City had not yet faded from the faces of the Liverpool players and fans when Liverpool welcomed another team from Manchester to their home stadium—Manchester City.

This time it was the second leg of the League Cup semi-final.

This time, many Manchester City fans followed their team to the away game, but only two thousand of them were allowed into Anfield stadium.

The two sides had a war of words over this matter before the game.

Manchester City Football Club protested that Liverpool Football Club had deliberately reduced the ticket allocation for Manchester City fans in large numbers, in order to make Liverpool's home atmosphere stronger, thereby interfering with Manchester City's performance. This practice violated the principle of fair play.

Liverpool claimed that their actions were to ensure the safety of the match. Because everyone knew how deep the feud between Manchester City fans and Chen Hero was. It was said that some extreme Manchester City fans were planning to give Chen Hero a hard time.

In order to avoid unpleasant things happening during the game, they had to do so. If there was anything wrong with this, then it was definitely not Liverpool's fault, but Manchester City Football Club's failure to restrain its own fans, which led to this result. The condemnation should be directed at Manchester City, not Liverpool.

But Manchester City Football Club disagreed with Liverpool's statement: "...Manchester City fans are a friendly and truly football-loving group. They are kind and gentle and definitely not dangerous people. The racial discrimination incident was only the work of a small number of extreme fans, and they cannot represent Manchester City fans! Liverpool's move is also discriminatory..."

At the same time, the leaders of Manchester City fan groups also came out to say that Manchester City fans would not have any radical behavior in this game: "We will show everyone an enthusiastic but friendly image of Manchester City fans! We are definitely not the thugs that some people say we are! We have reached an agreement and will not make any excessive remarks against Chen Hero during the game..."

It seemed that Manchester City fans were really scared by the three-match ban. The main reason was that in the first game without them, Manchester City lost 0:2 to Liverpool at home, allowing Liverpool to step half a foot into the final.

Now was the height of the storm, and they really should be low-key and restrained...

But how could Chen Hero, that damned bastard, let them off so easily?

He was relatively silent before the match against Manchester United, but he was very active before the match against Manchester City.

"Liverpool only gave Manchester City two thousand tickets? I also think that's really too few. This directly led to us losing more than two thousand loyal die-hard fans. Their presence can greatly enhance Liverpool's combat effectiveness and weaken Manchester City's combat effectiveness at the same time... But I respect the club's decision, although it's a bit of a pity... Well, two thousand people is enough."

He shrugged.

It seemed that he really wouldn't stop until he had provoked the Manchester City fans into madness.

So everyone could fully imagine how much Manchester City fans hated Chen Hero… They were really pitiful to be targeted by someone like Chen Hero.

Considering the tense relationship between Manchester City fans and Chen Hero, flagpoles were not allowed to be brought into the stadium for this game, whether they were Manchester City fans or Liverpool fans.

Moreover, Manchester City fans were arranged in the uppermost part of the stands at Anfield stadium, surrounded by fully armed police officers. These police officers all had their backs to the stadium and faced the Manchester City fans to prevent them from making any excessive moves.

Manchester City fans were somewhat dissatisfied with the Liverpool police's overreaction.

They opened their arms and sang the Manchester City team song to the Liverpool police to show that they were unarmed and had no aggressiveness or threat.

However, the Liverpool riot police, wearing helmets and holding shields, ignored the protests of the Manchester City fans.

As long as the two sides didn't fight, they could do whatever they wanted. If Manchester City fans wanted to cause trouble, the police batons in these police officers' hands were not just for show!

In this unprecedentedly tense atmosphere, Liverpool welcomed the match against Manchester City at home.

In fact, there was no suspense in this game itself. If it weren't for the feud between Chen Hero and Manchester City fans, I'm afraid no one would pay attention to this game at all.

Liverpool had already won Manchester City 2:0 away from home. Could they really let the away team reverse the situation when they returned to their home stadium?

But they really almost did...

※※※

"Barry! Gareth Barry! He scored the first goal for Manchester City! Manchester City took the lead! Now they have tied the aggregate score to 1:2! It seems they have hope?"

In the midst of the commentator's excited questioning, the Manchester City players huddled together.

Liverpool scored first three days ago when they played Manchester United, but this time against Manchester City, it was the away team that scored first...

Perhaps this was related to Liverpool's underestimation of their opponents.

Liverpool's players really looked down on Manchester City. They always felt that after winning 2:0 away from home, they could sit back and relax when they returned to their home stadium. Manchester City would definitely surrender and it would not take much effort to eliminate Manchester City. Who would have thought that Manchester City would show strong fighting spirit from the beginning of this game? For the first thirty minutes, Liverpool could only struggle to parry.

And Manchester City fans were really relatively restrained. During the game, when Chen Hero got the ball, he could hardly hear the boos and curses from the Manchester City fans.

Manchester City fans were focused on cheering for their team. When Manchester City attacked, their shouts seemed to suppress the voices of the Liverpool fans.

It was under these circumstances that Manchester City took the lead, narrowing the aggregate score to a difference of only one goal.

At the same time, it also seemed to be to demonstrate to Chen Hero that they were not specifically trying to sabotage Manchester City, and that they could also help Manchester City win the game. They were not Liverpool's best thirteenth man, but Manchester City's best twelfth man!

Liverpool's old commentator fell silent after Liverpool conceded a goal. Then he said: "Liverpool is too complacent! Manchester City is much more tenacious than we thought! Liverpool must show fighting spirit! Although they are still leading on aggregate, it is already very dangerous. You must know that Manchester City's goal has made them full of fighting spirit... They are now like a raging fire. If they are not curbed, I am afraid that they will eventually form a prairie fire!"

Liverpool's old commentator expressed the concerns of many people.

If Liverpool didn't do something and allowed this situation to continue, then Liverpool might really be eliminated—this was by no means alarmist. A two-goal lead was not actually a very big advantage...

But what could be done to extinguish Manchester City's flames of fighting spirit?

Many people turned their attention to Chen Hero.

Then they found that Chen Hero was turning his attention to a certain stand.

※※※

The television broadcast also gave Chen Hero a close-up. In the close-up shot, Chen Hero was at a forty-five degree angle, looking up... Where was he looking up at?

He was looking at the stand where Manchester City fans were gathered.

Yes, playing against Manchester City without the boos from Manchester City fans, he was really a little unaccustomed to it... This was also why he couldn't get motivated in the first thirty minutes of the game...

※※※

Manchester City's goal brought joy to the Manchester City fans, and the emotion of being carried away by pride took over again.

When they saw Chen Hero looking at them, many people couldn't restrain their inner excitement for a moment, and they raised their middle fingers at Chen Hero and shouted, "Long live Manchester City! Long live Manchester City!"

Fortunately, they still had a trace of reason and did not directly swear, but they shouted the voice of "Long live Manchester City" even louder.

But everyone was looking at Chen Hero when they roared like this. They looked down at Chen Hero from above, and suddenly felt a psychological advantage of "we despise that bastard."

So everyone was very proud and laughed loudly.

Unexpectedly, in the midst of the laughter of these Manchester City fans, Chen Hero also laughed.

Not only that, he also raised his right hand and gave those Manchester City fans a big thumbs up!

He had found the source of his motivation!

※※※

However, many outsiders were confused—what was Chen Hero doing?

Of course, they soon knew the answer...

Just ten minutes after Manchester City took the lead, Chen Hero equalized the score for Liverpool, and also widened the aggregate score between the two sides back to two goals. Liverpool returned to the safe red line again.

"Hero! Hero!! Ah! Hero! Great! He finally scored! He equalized the score. Now the aggregate score is 3:1! Liverpool is still leading by two goals!"

Liverpool's old commentator seemed particularly excited after Chen Hero scored. His voice was a little hoarse, but he was still constantly shouting Chen Hero's name.

He was very clear about the importance of Chen Hero's goal. He extinguished the raging flames that Manchester City had just ignited, and at the same time stabilized Liverpool's morale and gave Liverpool a buffer period to adjust their state. Otherwise, if Manchester City took advantage of the momentum of scoring the first goal to pursue and attack, it would be really hard to say what the final result would be...

After scoring the goal, Chen Hero ran straight to the bottom of the stand where the Manchester City fans were and then gave them a thumbs up, and also applauded to thank them!

Now everyone understood what he was doing before—he had once again successfully made the Manchester City fans lose their composure, thus providing himself with a source of power. Now after scoring a goal, he specially ran over to thank the Manchester City fans...

This person... was too cheap!

The Liverpool fans in the stands cheered loudly for Chen Hero's actions.

As fans, they could probably best understand the feeling of "wishing their opponents would die." Chen Hero was constantly provoking Manchester City fans. In the eyes of Manchester City fans, he was an enemy, but in the hearts of Liverpool fans, Chen Hero was their hero. Of course they had to support him.

The feud between Liverpool and the city of Manchester was being played out on Chen Hero...
