Chapter 190 He Responded

The two-goal lead sent Newcastle United fans into a frenzy of joy. Overjoyed, they jumped up and down in the stands, chanting Chen Hero's name.

"Hero! Hero! Where are you, Hero?!"

"Hero! Hero! Your Liverpool needs you! Come out quickly!"

Clearly, they were imitating the Liverpool fans' habit of looking for Chen Hero when they encountered trouble, using this to mock the Liverpool fans as if they were children who had never grown up, only knowing to cry and run home to their mothers for comfort when bullied.

At the same time, they were disgusting Chen Hero.

Last time, after the Liverpool fans did this, Chen Hero responded to them, then quickly scored a goal, helping the team equalize the score, and also fundamentally changed the entire game, with Newcastle collapsing like a mountain.

This time, the Newcastle United fans were using this method to humiliate Chen Hero—aren't you always responsive? Aren't you good at scoring goals? Now we're calling for you, show us your skills and score a goal!

Who would have thought that at this moment, Chen Hero raised his right hand high, clenching it into a fist.

He really responded!

Everyone was stunned.

Originally, after the shouts, there should have been gloating laughter, but it was gone.

The laughter got stuck in the throats of the Newcastle United fans.

※※※

The Liverpool fans were initially quite frustrated, but when they saw Chen Hero suddenly raise his arm and respond, they immediately realized—Hero is going against the Newcastle United fans!

They cheered.

Because the Newcastle United fans were silent at this moment, their cheers were able to break through the blockade of the home team fans and appear in everyone's ears.

Although the time was very short, the Newcastle United fans quickly reacted, and then drowned out the Liverpool fans' counterattack with boos or other noises.

But they finally made their voices heard, expressing their support for their team!

※※※

The commentators were also surprised: "Hero's action... he responded? Who did he respond to? The Newcastle United fans?"

"This, Chen Hero is provoking Newcastle United again... but doing so when trailing by two goals is a bit irrational..."

※※※

Although Chen Hero responded, he did not immediately help Liverpool pull back a goal.

Because the first half of the game had come to an end.

Three minutes after this interlude, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

At the end of the first half, Newcastle United led Liverpool 2-0 at home.

The situation was extremely unfavorable for Liverpool.

※※※

Back in the locker room, the discussion was not about being behind, but about how the Newcastle United fans were bullying others too much.

But they were not discouraged by this, but instead filled with righteous indignation and anger.

"Do they think we Liverpool are easy to bully?!" Suárez slammed his shoes in anger.

"Let's show them what we're made of in the second half! So what if they're leading by two goals?"

Some people were praising Chen Hero: "Hero, you did a great job just now! Those Newcastle United fans were all dumbfounded!"

"They didn't expect Hero to really raise his hand..."

"Do they really think they've won? Enraging Hero will have dire consequences!"

Chen Hero laughed: "This was their own request, how could I disappoint them? To be honest, this is the first time I've encountered such cheap people... oh, no, didn't the Manchester City fans do something like this once before?"

Everyone burst out laughing.

Martin O'Neill stood at the door, looking at these laughing players, and felt it was quite miraculous. Even he felt hopeless in his heart. These players were full of fighting spirit and confidence, as if they could definitely complete a three-goal comeback in the second half.

Not only were they not demoralized by this incident, but on the contrary, they were high-spirited and eager to rush out and stab Newcastle eight times in a row, committing a "passionate killing."

If the referee hadn't blown the whistle to end the first half, the Liverpool players believed they could have scored the first goal soon.

But it didn't matter now, Newcastle would only die fifteen minutes later!

※※※

The Newcastle locker room was also discussing the interlude at the end of the first half. However, unlike the open discussion in the Liverpool locker room, they were discussing it privately, huddled together, whispering to each other.

They expected the actions of the Newcastle fans, which was to vent their anger from the past. Moreover, they were secretly happy when the fans did this, but it was just inconvenient to show it.

But they didn't quite understand Chen Hero's reaction.

Why did he do this?

What benefits would it bring besides further stimulating us and the fans?

Did he really think he was an omnipotent god?

What a joke!

After discussing it, everyone came to a consensus—Chen Hero's personality was too foolish, so he would do such a foolish thing. He was completely out of his mind, and there was no specific meaning.

Like Balotelli, there are always a few people in this world who make you feel that their brains are structured differently and completely incomprehensible.

Since they couldn't understand, they simply didn't want to think about it. Anyway, it was Chen Hero who would lose face in the end, not them...

※※※

The halftime break between the two sides passed quickly, and the two teams returned to the field to fight again.

The Newcastle United fans also speculated about Chen Hero's purpose during the halftime break.

The unanimous conclusion was that Chen Hero was just trying to anger the Newcastle United fans, just like the Newcastle United fans were deliberately trying to anger Chen Hero. This was Chen Hero's counterattack.

If that's the case, then there's no need to take it to heart...

Anyway, we're leading by two goals now, let's see who laughs last.

Anger us? I wasn't even angered to laugh! Such a stupid person, it's so funny!

A ha ha ha ha!

※※※

After the start of the second half, Newcastle continued their tactics from the first half after taking a one-goal lead, which was to defend and counterattack.

This was indeed quite suitable for their current situation.

Leading by two goals had already put Newcastle United in an invincible position. Next, as long as they didn't concede a goal, they could play Liverpool to death however they wanted.

So defense was the foundation. On the basis of solid defense, they would try to score again. Another goal would completely kill the suspense of the game.

It could be said that the Newcastle United players started the second half with a relaxed mood.

But this relaxed mood only lasted for seven minutes...

In the sixth minute, Liverpool got a free kick opportunity at the top of the penalty arc.

At that time, Suárez forced a breakthrough, causing a melee in front of the penalty area. In the end, Suárez fell to the ground, and the referee signaled that a Newcastle player had fouled, giving Liverpool a free kick.

In fact, it was too chaotic at the time, and no one knew if the Newcastle player really tripped Suárez. The subsequent slow-motion angles were not very suitable, and it seemed like a real fall and a fake fall.

The Newcastle United players went up to protest and appeal, but the referee believed his judgment, and the ruling he had made could not be changed. He signaled the Newcastle United players to step back and form a wall.

Chen Hero walked up holding the football.

Looking at the group of Newcastle United players in front of him who had just protested the referee's decision and hadn't had time to disperse, Chen Hero suddenly grinned at them.

Chen Hero must have thought he was smiling, he was mocking the foolish Newcastle United players. Because no matter how much you protest, you can't change the result, so why bother?

But the Newcastle United players didn't think so. They seemed to see a giant bear standing in front of them, then opening its bloody mouth at them.

The distance was so close that they could smell the rotten breath coming from the giant bear's mouth.

※※※

After mocking the Newcastle United players, Chen Hero placed the football on the free-kick spot designated by the referee. In fact, this place was really close to the penalty area. As long as Chen Hero put the football a little further forward, it could be considered an indirect free kick in the penalty area...

The Newcastle United players responsible for forming the wall stared at him nervously. If he dared to do so, they would immediately shout loudly and protest to the referee.

But Chen Hero didn't do that.

He put the football where it should be, then stepped back to prepare for his run-up.

As usual, the Newcastle United wall was formed slowly and had to be moved forward.

But Chen Hero didn't protest, he didn't care at all.

The referee also ignored Newcastle's small actions. Too much time had been wasted, so it was better to kick the football out quickly.

He stepped back, then blew the whistle in his mouth.

As soon as the whistle fell, Chen Hero started his run-up.

After three steps, he slammed into the football.

At the same time, the wall jumped high.

But the football did not fly over their heads, but窜ed from below! (窜 - could not find a good translation)

A ground ball!

Chen Hero used all his strength to kick a ground ball!

This surprised many people.

They originally thought that Chen Hero would definitely kick a knuckleball, even though the distance was very close, but Chen Hero was best at this kind of free kick...

Who would have thought that Chen Hero would kick a ground ball!

The football钻ed through the gap under the wall, and by the time goalkeeper Krul discovered it, it was too late—the distance was too close, and it was a ground ball, and the speed of forward竄ing was very fast on the watered turf!

He didn't even have time to make a save, and the football had already冲 over the goal line! (冲, and 窜 - cannot find a good translation)

Then it curled up the net and stopped moving.

Only seven minutes into the second half, and Liverpool pulled back a goal!

The two-goal lead was准instantly turned into a one-goal lead, and a one-goal lead is the most insecure score in the world!
