Chen Hero's method was indeed causing Lucio and Samuel a lot of pain, as their physical strength was almost giving out.
When Sanchez passed the ball over, they jumped to head it according to their previous understanding, but they didn't get the ball, allowing Chen Hero to head the ball amidst their double-teaming.
If he hadn't headed it over the crossbar, I'm afraid this attack would have resulted in a goal.
After landing, the two exchanged somewhat apprehensive glances.
They both saw worry and fear in each other's eyes.
Then the two of them discussed it together.
"It seems like the height is different than before?" Lucio said.
Samuel nodded: "Higher."
"Coincidence, maybe?"
"I think so too…"
The two defenders, one from the Argentina national team and one from the Brazil national team, huddled together and, after a while of discussion, came to the conclusion that "it must be a coincidence."
But soon Chen Hero would let them know that it wasn't a coincidence.
"Suarez's cross… Hero!"
Chen Hero jumped high again, heading for the ball!
Samuel and Lucio jumped up with him.
This time, the two old guys still didn't get the ball, but Chen Hero didn't head it well either, and he once again headed the ball directly over the crossbar…
After landing, the two looked at each other again.
"Is this still a coincidence?"
"I think it's deliberate, right?"
"I think so too…"
"Then what do we do? Damn it, my thigh muscles are about to cramp…"
"Don't be afraid, he didn't head it well either, did he? Such a high ball, we can't reach it, and he can't head it well either, so there's nothing to worry about…"
The two comforted each other and then separated.
On the other side, Suarez was also communicating with Chen Hero about this height issue.
"Is it too high, Hero? I saw you didn't head either of the last two balls well…" Suarez asked.
Chen Hero shook his head firmly: "No! My body just hasn't stretched out yet."
"What kind of reason is that…"
"It's okay, just keep doing this, Luis. Didn't you see that the two of them are almost unable to jump anymore?" Chen Hero saw hope in this.
Suarez had no other choice; he could only continue to try it this way.
※※※
Actually, although a too-high ball bypasses the two center backs, it is indeed very uncomfortable for Chen Hero himself to head it.
But he couldn't admit this; he had to stick to his own point of view.
At the same time, he was also challenging the limits of his jumping ability.
Such a high ball is indeed difficult to head, but as long as I can head it well, no one will be able to stop me!
In terms of jumping ability, Chen Hero absolutely could not admit defeat or be afraid in front of the two old guys.
※※※
When Sanchez passed the ball over again, and it was a very high ball, even the commentators could see it.
"Sanchez's pass is too high! Doing this will give Inter Milan's defensive players time to position themselves and prepare for the defense in advance…"
He was right. This kind of high, floating cross is actually of very poor quality, because it gives the opposing defenders and goalkeeper time to prepare. Once they are prepared and have blocked the position, it will be difficult for your striker to head the ball.
But this is for ordinary people. They all forgot that Chen Hero is not an ordinary person…
This time, Chen Hero was better than the previous two times. He headed the ball squarely, but with Samuel's interference, his shot was too straight and was easily collected by Cesar.
In fact, Samuel's defensive move just now was a foul. He used both his hands and feet, almost clinging to Chen Hero like an octopus.
However, Chen Hero's body is really strong, and Chen Hero has never had the habit of diving, so even if Samuel fouled him, as long as he could maintain his balance, he would generally not appeal to the referee afterwards.
This time was no exception. He just shook his head and ran back.
Samuel, on the other hand, was a little apprehensive. He looked at Lucio again and found that Lucio was also looking at him.
The two took the time to huddle together again.
"Didn't you say he couldn't head it well either?"
Samuel sighed: "Alas… it seems like we have to risk our lives!"
※※※
The following game could only be described as "tragic" for Inter Milan's two center backs.
They used all their skills, even resorting to fouling and pulling Chen Hero, to ensure that their goal had not been broken so far.
But this was not a long-term solution, and it was really too dangerous. Every time Chen Hero jumped up, Samuel and Lucio pulled, yanked, bumped, and pushed him. Inter Milan's fans were actually watching with trepidation, fearing that the referee might have a whim and award a penalty.
Some Inter Milan fans were blaming the two old center backs, saying that their defense was too reckless and too careless.
But if they were to do it, I'm afraid their performance would be even worse than Lucio and Samuel's… those who have not experienced it firsthand will always stand and talk without back pain.
Samuel and Lucio actually knew that their defense was very dangerous, but what other options did they have?
When the ball was passed high, Chen Hero always relied on his height and jumping advantage to jump up early, and then head the ball higher than Lucio and Samuel. If they wanted to prevent Chen Hero from heading the ball easily, they could only add a lot of additional actions.
Of course, they wouldn't make it too obvious. For example, after they jumped up, they would raise their hands to show that they didn't have any hand movements, but their waists would push forward, bumping into Chen Hero, causing him to lose his balance slightly. Although it wouldn't cause him to fall, as long as they could shake him a little when he headed the ball, the ball he headed would deviate from the goal.
They had to especially thank Chen Hero for his habit of never diving. Otherwise, if they were to switch to any other striker, even if they used their bodies to bump into him, as long as the opponent fell to the ground and screamed miserably, they would always be able to get a penalty at least once out of so many times.
But what goes around comes around.
Chen Hero doesn't dive because he wants every one of his goals to be scored fairly and squarely.
Under his continuous heavy hammer blows, Inter Milan's seemingly impregnable walls finally began to shake constantly, with rubble falling off and many cracks appearing on the walls, radiating out in all directions like a spider web…
Now all that's left is this final hammer blow!
※※※
Suarez originally had the ball in the ribs, but he was forced to the wing by Maicon. Unable to break through, he could only cross!
The ball flew high, towards the goal.
At this moment, many Inter Milan fans' hearts were habitually hanging in the air again…
Chen Hero stared at the ball, and when it reached a suitable height, he rose from the ground like a rocket taking off!
Samuel and Lucio sandwiched him in the middle, one in front and one behind.
They had small movements with their hands, and their bodies were also bumping into Chen Hero.
But this time, they didn't get their wish. Like fragments of heat-resistant tiles that are discarded during a rocket's ascent, they could not prevent Chen Hero's ascent.
This time, after Samuel and Lucio jumped up with all their might, they felt that their knees were a little weak. They actually didn't jump as high as before.
Chen Hero jumped up without any obstacles. At that moment, he was the highest jumper in Inter Milan's entire penalty area, high above!
Chen Hero jumped in the air, trying to tilt his head back and straighten his waist, stretching his body out completely, which would make him appear taller and straighter.
Most importantly, this would bring him closer to the ball, making his header more accurate when he exerted force!
At this moment, Chen Hero brought his jumping ability and explosiveness to the extreme!
Some people even exclaimed: "My God! He jumped higher than the crossbar!"
Looking from the other side of the field, the highly leaping Chen Hero was indeed a head and a shoulder taller than the crossbar…
High above, everyone on the field could only look up at him!
Chen Hero jumped so high that he could even sit in the air and wait for the ball to fall a little further before heading it…
"Hero—header!!!"
※※※
Chen Hero's head was really like a hammer, smashing the ball down with force!
The ball flew directly to the ground, then bounced up in front of goalkeeper Cesar, then bounced up from in front of him, then hit the lower edge of the crossbar, and then bounced into the goal.
Cesar only had time to wave his hand to block at this time, but it was already too late…
The ball had already bounced into the goal behind him!
Quantitative change finally turned into qualitative change!
Under the unremitting efforts of Chen Hero's battering ram, Inter Milan's impregnable city was finally brought down by his full blow…
"Goal!!! Goal! Hero! Liverpool's Hero!! In the sixty-seventh minute, Liverpool finally broke the deadlock on the field!!"
Amidst the commentator's screaming and roaring, Chen Hero turned and ran towards the corner flag area after landing. He spread his arms and made a diving landing celebration.
This is his most commonly used celebration after scoring with a header, because this action is reminiscent of a bomber, and he, Chen Hero, is the most outstanding humanoid bomber on this planet!
Italian football's defense has always been something they are proud of, and it seems to have become the highest standard of defense. When people talk about defense, they say, "Look at the defense of the Italian teams. Compared with them, Spain's defense is simply kindergarten-level…"
But Chen Hero had already flattened the defenses of all Serie A teams two years ago. No matter how tenacious they are, the final result is the same—death!
Perhaps others would be helpless in the face of Italian-style defense, but Chen Hero has rich experience and a huge psychological advantage.
I have a battering ram, what the hell am I afraid of them for!
