Chapter 828 "A Thousand Gold Pieces for Horse Bones" (Second Update, Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
The football, like a shell from a heavy cannon, was blasted into the goal. Although Gomes got a touch on the ball, he still couldn't stop its progress.
Anfield erupted in another huge cheer. This time, Chen Hero rushed to the foot of the Kop stand, waving his arms at the fans there.
Causing a commotion in the stands.
Chen Hero had already won the love of more and more fans with his goals.
Liverpool fans cheered and celebrated, while Tottenham players looked a little depressed.
Especially Bale.
The first half belonged to Bale. In addition to his assist to Adebayor, he had many threatening breakthroughs and passes. It could be said that almost all of Tottenham's threatening attacks in the first half came from Gareth Bale.
Whether it was a breakthrough or a cross, he was involved.
His outstanding performance made the commentators think he was promoting himself to Liverpool.
So he felt that with his excellent form and performance, even on the road, he should be able to fight Liverpool.
Who would have thought that the person he was most wary of finally stepped forward, scoring twice and knocking Tottenham down from the clouds?
All efforts were in vain.
This feeling was just too heartbreaking!
He put his hands on his hips, lowered his head, and slowly shook his head, very helpless.
Around him was the cheering Anfield stadium, and everyone was shouting this person's name.
"Too beautiful! Hero! This is the perfect embodiment of his tacit cooperation with Sanchez! He reversed the score for the team! He scored twice again! This is his third brace this season! If you count the hat-trick as a brace, then he has done it four times!"
"Hero uses iron-like facts to prove that he is definitely not a shooting star! He is a rising superstar in world football! He seems to be born to break records! The league has only started nine rounds, and he has already scored twelve goals! This kind of scoring rate is simply too terrifying! I think Hero can already stand shoulder to shoulder with Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in terms of scoring goals!"
If Chen Hero could hear what this commentator said, he wouldn't be happy at all. He would probably just spit at him: "Bah! I'm better than those two combined!"

Gareth Bale was surrounded by these noises. He raised his head and found that the stands of Anfield stadium were all red, nothing but red. He looked for that small patch of white in this large area of red.
Logically speaking, the difference between white and red is very large, and he should be able to distinguish them easily. But behind the countless waving arms and scarves, he found it very difficult to find those connected pieces of white...
All of their Tottenham fans were separated by Liverpool fans.
Not only his team, but even the fans were plunged into the Red Army's frenzy.
This is Anfield!
At this time, Gareth Bale suddenly thought of the words above the player tunnel. He had participated in many games here, and he had seen these words countless times. But he never took it seriously.
It is said that when Shankly designed such a thing, he wanted to remind the teams that came to Anfield to play that they were facing the great Liverpool.
But this trick had long failed.
Few people are still afraid of Liverpool.
So Bale didn't think this sentence had any special meaning.
But at this moment, that sentence suddenly appeared in his mind.
"This is Anfield!"
Looking at the crazy cheering Red Army fans, and then looking at the Liverpool number nine who was waving his fist in front of the fans, Bale felt that he could perhaps understand the feelings of those teams who visited Anfield in the Shankly and Bob Paisley era.
He then remembered that this stadium was once a terrifying devil stadium that made many teams tremble!
He lowered his head again.
※※※
Tottenham coach Redknapp stood on the sidelines, quietly watching the field. His eyes fell on Bale, who had lowered his head.
Bale seemed to feel powerless?
Chen Hero, ah Chen Hero...
His team actually had a good start in the early stages of the game, taking the lead first. If many teams score first, they might be able to win the game directly. But Liverpool has Chen Hero.
What a "Bug"!
Completely unsolvable!
※※※
Chen Hero's second goal was like a heavy hammer to the hearts of the Tottenham players, directly shattering their confidence.
Although they were only one goal behind, if they worked harder, they might still have a chance to tie the score.
But as soon as they thought that even if they could tie the score, Chen Hero could overtake them again, many people felt despair. Unless they could tie the score in the last minute, leaving no time for Chen Hero, otherwise it would be difficult to say.
After the game restarted, Tottenham still defended and counterattacked, but their counterattack was far less sharp than in the first half.
Bale was completely suppressed by Sanchez, and later Suarez also came to join in the fun. Bale was exhausted in defense and couldn't go up.
In the middle, Van der Vaart and Modric encountered the tenacious resistance of Gerrard and Inler, and Lennon rarely got the ball.
Tottenham's confidence and fighting spirit were collapsing.
In the seventy-ninth minute, Liverpool gave them another fatal blow.
Gerrard received Chen Hero's chest pass outside the penalty area, directly swung his foot to shoot from a distance. The football drew an arc, brushed against the post, and flew into the goal. This time Gomes simply didn't even make a save.
3:1, Liverpool completely locked in the victory and ended the suspense!
※※※
After the game, the Tottenham players left in a hurry. Before leaving, Bale looked back at the stands of Liverpool fans, which were full of cheers and celebrations.
The red all over the mountains and plains jumped and reflected in his eyes, impacting his chest.
This is Anfield. In today's game, he had a new understanding of this stadium and this sentence.
Liverpool and Anfield had indeed unknowingly taken a place in his heart.
Martin O'Neill was hugging and celebrating goals with his players. He looked back and saw Gareth Bale standing on the sidelines, looking at the stadium stands in a brief daze.
Sad for losing?
Come to Liverpool, Gareth.
That invincible Red Army is crossing the fog of history and walking on the road to return.
Come on!
He really wanted to run directly to Bale and say this to him.
But he finally withdrew his gaze.
This game was over. Being able to make Bale different from other Tottenham players, and stay on the sidelines for one more step, he felt that this seed should have been successfully planted.
※※※
After the game, no one talked about whether Bale would return to Liverpool anymore.
Because it didn't matter at all. So what if Bale doesn't come to Liverpool? We have a "Bug" Chen Hero, and a winger Sanchez who is no less inferior to Bale!
Sanchez has been transferred to Liverpool for two months. Due to frequent rotations, he rarely has stable playing opportunities, so people always doubt his strength. After all, his reputation is not yet prominent.
But through this game, especially in the second half, Sanchez conquered the Liverpool fans. There are not many people who can suppress Bale so that he can't even pass half the field...
Liverpool's great revival has arrived! Taking Tottenham cleanly at home has made Liverpool fans more determined in this belief.

At the end of the game, Chen Xing stood up from his seat. He first shook hands with Tottenham Club Chairman Levy as a formality. Levy congratulated them on their victory, and he also told Levy that Tottenham played very well, and it was a pity that they did not win.
In short, it was some insincere but necessary polite talk.
At the same time, everyone had to have a smile on their face, so as not to be impolite.
Levy and the Tottenham team left quickly, but Chen Xing was not in a hurry to leave. He stood in front of his seat, listening to the cheers of the fans.
Niang stood beside him to accompany him. If he didn't leave, he wouldn't leave either.
After a long time, Chen Xing said to Niang beside him: "About Bale... try your best to sign him. If you need money, ask me."
Niang smiled: "Okay."
Chen Xing watched a game and considered a game. In the end, he decided to buy Bale, even if it cost more money, it would be worth it. Liverpool is on the road to revival, and the current problem is that the team lineup is slightly thin. Only by filling it with strong players can the overall strength be increased.
Bale is a beneficial addition.
But this is a level that only the head coach needs to consider.
Chen Xing considered another level of things—by spending a lot of money to buy Bale, Liverpool can show a gesture to England and even the entire European football world, that is, we Liverpool are returning to glory, we are an ambitious team, and we are willing to invest, as long as you have the ability, no matter how much money, we hope you will join.
So Liverpool is capable of competing for the championship, and this will definitely not disappoint those ambitious players.
After displaying this gesture, it is equivalent to placing a huge advertising impact.
In this way, whether Liverpool takes the initiative, or the players take the initiative, their signings will always be easier than now—now many people still think that Liverpool is a down-and-out giant, a black hole, and there is no way to regain its glory. Coming to Liverpool is delaying their careers. It is really difficult for such a Liverpool to compete with other teams for the players they are looking for.
But if they can successfully sign Bale, even if they spend a little more money, the media will definitely hype it up, and then they can take the opportunity to get rid of the club's consistently failing image that has been left on people in the past few seasons.
This is "buying a horse's bones for a thousand gold."
What's more, Bale is not a horse's bone, he is a real steed!
Chen Xing will definitely not miss something that has multiple benefits.
