Chapter 178 The Power of Hell

During halftime, Liverpool fans once again experienced the true power of a "hellish home ground."

They couldn't go to the refreshment area, not even to the bathroom, or to buy anything. The Turkish police guarding the entrance told them that if they left their protected area, they would not be responsible for what happened to them.

This was, in fact, a threat.

Liverpool fans protested, because those who came to watch the game were not just men, but also women, who needed to use the restroom. But the police wouldn't let them pass. Were they supposed to let the female fans relieve themselves in the stands?

But no matter how much they protested and pleaded, the Turkish police were unmoved.

And separated by a wire fence, Besiktas fans, seeing the Liverpool fans protesting, rushed up to the fence and threatened them fiercely, even giving them the "throat-slitting salute" that had become popular in new groups in recent years.

The threat was very strong.

The eight hundred or so Liverpool fans were isolated and helpless. Besiktas fans threatened them, and the police did nothing, just watching the show at the entrance, and wouldn't move unless the two sides started fighting. This was blatant favoritism.

It was clear that these Besiktas fans were in a bad mood because Chen Hero had scored a goal, and they knew the importance of that goal.

They needed a way to vent their frustration, so the Liverpool fans trapped behind the wire fence became their punching bags.

They made all sorts of insulting gestures at the Liverpool fans, spewing all kinds of foul language.

The Liverpool fans were furious and shouted back, and the two sets of fans even started spitting at each other across the wire fence.

The wire fence rattled as some excited fans shook it.

It wasn't until the police guarding the entrance saw that the situation was getting out of hand that they drove away the excited Besiktas fans.

The Liverpool fans continued to protest to the police.

But the police ignored them, and some even looked at the anxious female Liverpool fans with mocking expressions on their faces.

In the end, the helpless Liverpool fans could only solve their sanitary problems in the stands. The male fans surrounded the female fans to prevent them from being exposed. But some female fans couldn't stand such humiliation and burst into tears.

The male fans were furious.

"Damn it! These damn Turks!"

"I really hope we score more goals in the second half and win against them! Win the game on their turf and teach them a lesson! Otherwise, it won't be enough to let me vent my anger!"

"Damn it, wait until we get to our home ground, and see how we deal with them!"

"Can those police even be called police? They're just beasts! Now I know why there are always violent incidents in Turkey, because these police are all accomplices!"

※※※

While the Liverpool fans were being insulted in the stands, the Liverpool players were unaware of it.

But their thoughts were the same as their fans: strive to win the game away from home!

The second half of the game started with fierce competition between the two sides, mainly in midfield.

Although Liverpool retreated to defend and counterattack, they couldn't retreat too far. They still had to create some trouble for Besiktas in midfield.

As soon as the second half started, the atmosphere in the stadium quickly heated up with this intense confrontation.

Besiktas fans continued to hurl insults at Liverpool players, even their families.

The stadium announcer seemed to think the atmosphere wasn't fiery enough, and openly shouted into the broadcast: "Where are our boos! Let's give Liverpool some boos! Everyone together, make a huge noise! Welcome to—HELL!!!"

His shouts were met with a positive response from the Besiktas fans, and during that time, the decibels at the İnönü Stadium reached their highest point of the match.

It was unimaginable in other countries' leagues for a stadium announcer to openly call on home fans to boo and attack visiting players, but in Turkey, it was all normal.

Amidst the huge boos, Chen Hero looked up at the surging Besiktas fans in the stands.

Suarez next to him leaned over and said, "Are you so scared that you peed your pants, Hero?"

"Get lost!" Chen Hero glared at him. "I'm thinking about how to make them pee their pants!"

Suarez laughed mischievously.

Chen Hero wouldn't miss the opportunity to hit back at Suarez: "It's your performance in this game that looks like you peed your pants in fear!"

"Hey!" Suarez was unhappy. "Who peed their pants? Their defense is a little tight, but it's no threat to me! I'm just playing with them!"

"Stop playing around, assist me in scoring a goal. With just one more goal, I can break that little dwarf Messi's record!"

"You want to score nineteen goals now? Wouldn't that mean your twenty-goal record would have been reached long ago? I'm being kind, helping you suppress it, afraid you'll reach the target all at once and then lose motivation!"

"Bah! Does anyone dislike scoring more goals? I'm talking about at least twenty goals. At least! Do you understand the word 'at least'!" He pushed Suarez, who was getting close, away. "Stop talking nonsense, go assist me! I'll treat you to a Turkish bath! With nude female masseuses!"

"You're too bad, Hero! Winning against the Turkish team and still wanting to play with Turkish women!"

"Who said anything about playing? Just massage, massage only! Can't your brain be so dirty and filthy all day long!"

"Sigh... after hanging out with you for so long, I've become depraved too..."

"Do you believe I'll spit on your face?"

Despite the tense atmosphere and the increasing pressure from the fans' boos, Chen Hero and Suarez still bantered and joked on the field as if nothing was wrong. This showed their mental fortitude.

But in the eyes of others, it wasn't the same thing at all.

Especially when Chen Hero reached out and pushed Suarez, it excited many people.

※※※

"Hero pushed Suarez! They said something to each other earlier, but judging from their expressions, it doesn't seem friendly... It seems the rumors that they have a conflict are true!"

"The evidence is conclusive! The infighting within the Liverpool team is indeed true!"

"Hero pushed Suarez! Ooh ooh ooh!"

Everyone was excited, as if they had been poked in the G-spot.

The Besiktas fans in the stands even burst into loud laughter to mock Liverpool's infighting.

This laughter also caught the attention of Chen Hero and Suarez, who looked up and were confused: "What are these idiots laughing at?"

"Who knows, if we all knew what they were laughing at, they wouldn't be idiots." Suarez shrugged.

After what happened last night, neither of them had any goodwill towards the Besiktas fans. In addition, they had been subjected to a lot of abuse and booing from Besiktas fans in this game. If they could still treat the Besiktas fans with kindness, these two wouldn't be suitable for playing football, but should become saints and be worshipped.

Moreover, they were both emotional people, so calling the Besiktas fans "idiots" was perfectly normal.

Suarez was putting on a brave face, saying that he was just playing with them. But he also knew that he was surrounded by Besiktas.

It wouldn't work to rely on individual combat. If he wanted to break the deadlock, he had to seek cooperation.

And obviously, cooperating with Chen Hero was the most effective.

But in the first half, the opponent cut off the connection between them, preventing them from forming an effective link.

To score, they had to re-establish this connection.

Chen Hero lacked support in the first half for this reason.

But Suarez soon realized that he and Chen Hero seemed to be able to find a connection again...

What he didn't know was that this was because Besiktas saw him and Chen Hero push each other, and thought that their relationship was completely broken. They actually had a conflict on the field during the game, so their fear of him was greatly reduced.

Do we still need to cut off the connection between such two people? I'm afraid they will never see each other again, right? Pass the ball to each other? Don't even think about it!

This was the thought of many Besiktas players.

Suarez was such a cunning person. As soon as he saw an opportunity, he immediately focused on exploiting it!

The opportunity he saw was the gap between Besiktas' defense.

Now that Besiktas was pressing forward blindly, there was still a chance to take advantage.

As long as they could seize the opportunity...

※※※

Fifteen minutes into the second half, Besiktas still hadn't scored, and Liverpool's defense was still very solid.

Besiktas was getting impatient.

Playing at home was both a motivation and a pressure...

The Besiktas fans in the stands were also very impatient.

Their boos were even louder, and they cursed with all kinds of foul language, without any restraint. Insulting the players' families? That was considered light. They even shouted "Hillsborough" and "Heysel," both of which were painful memories for Liverpool. Doing so was undoubtedly to stimulate Liverpool's players, causing them to underperform.

But unfortunately, this trick was guaranteed to work against Liverpool fans, but against the current Liverpool team... that was not necessarily the case...

So their shouts didn't interfere with Suarez's pace as he dribbled the ball forward.

"Suarez! He's counterattacking with the ball! This is Liverpool's chance!"

With the commentator's loud shout, the broadcast, which had been showing a slow-motion replay of Besiktas' shot, immediately switched to the live footage.

Everyone saw Suarez running wildly down the wing with the ball!

Behind him and around him were all Besiktas players!
