Chapter 1 The Reds are About to Win

Outside, the Liverpool fans had already started a singing competition in the stadium. In the locker room, Martin O'Neill looked at his players with a serious expression.

"Although it's a very slim chance that we'll lose the league title if we lose the last two games and Manchester United wins their last two games by a large margin, wouldn't you rather win both games and lift the championship trophy? Or just be like a deflated ball, losing both games and still winning the championship? As long as we win this game, the championship trophy is ours. The trophy has been brought over by the officials, and the club has also prepared a celebration ceremony. Don't let all their preparations fall through. Use a victory to claim the championship!"

If Martin O'Neill knew that Chen Hero had decided to complete a hat trick in this game, he probably wouldn't have said these words…

When the Liverpool players walked out of the tunnel, they saw that the entire Anfield stadium was a sea of red and silver. The red was the Liverpool home jerseys they were wearing, and the silver was the Premier League championship trophy paper models held up by the Liverpool fans made of tin foil.

About more than half of the fans were holding such models, and the models were basically the same size.

This shows that this is not the practice of one or two fans, but an organized way of cheering.

Seeing the Liverpool players appear, they waved the trophy models in their hands. The shaking trophy paper models kept flashing in the sunlight at half past four in the afternoon, like many camera flashes.

Gerrard wore the captain's armband and led his teammates into Anfield stadium with their heads held high.

Under the instigation of the live broadcast, there was a burst of cheers at the scene!

"Gerrard—!!"

"Hero!!!"

"Long live Liverpool! Long live the Reds!!"

On the coach's bench, Sammy Lee smiled to Martin O'Neill next to him: "Martin, I think your previous worries were unnecessary."

"Huh?"

"You underestimated the degree of desire of us Liverpool people for this championship. Look at this momentum, how could we lose the game because of pride and carelessness? We can't wait to tear apart any opponent standing in front of Liverpool!"

Martin O'Neill laughed when he heard Sammy Lee say this.

Yes, they have been chasing this championship for twenty-two years. How could they fall short because of pride and carelessness when they are about to touch it?

He really underestimated the Liverpool people's desire for this championship.

Liverpool fans kept singing from the start of the game, from Liverpool's team song to each player's exclusive song. Chen Hero's "Hero Song" was also among them. After this song was sung by the Red Giants organization, it quickly attracted the attention of other Liverpool fans. This song is catchy, easy to sing, and sounds good and powerful. After everyone expressed interest in this song, the Red Giants announced the mp3 audio of the song, as well as the lyrics, on their official website, so that anyone interested can download it to learn and listen.

In this way, this song quickly spread throughout the stands of Anfield stadium.

The singing never stopped, and the cheers never stopped. Anfield stadium really became a sea of ​​joy this time.

Under such a home atmosphere, any opponent could not muster the energy to confront Liverpool.

And the Liverpool players were full of fighting spirit and strength.

They did not relax their demands on themselves just because the championship was already a sure thing.

Especially Chen Hero, from the beginning of the game, he ran very actively, looking for opportunities to score.

And he really found such an opportunity in the first fifteen minutes!

"Hero!!" With the commentator's roar, everyone's eyes focused on Chen Hero in the penalty area.

He stopped the football passed by his teammate with his left foot, and at the same time, he quickly swung his right foot. These two movements seemed to be done in one go, without any pause at all.

This made Blackburn's goalkeeper and defenders unable to defend against it, and coupled with the short shooting distance, the football was blasted into Blackburn's goal like a cannonball!

"Fifteen minutes into the game! Liverpool took the lead! What a perfect start! Hero!! Hero! It's Hero again!! When you need goals and victory, Hero will always stand up! He never disappoints!"

After scoring the goal, Chen Hero directly bypassed the goal and ran to the bottom of the Kop stand behind the goal. He kept pounding the Liverpool team emblem on his heart with his hands, using this way to express his emotions to the fans - I belong to Liverpool!

Sure enough, his action caused the cheers from the stands to increase.

Chen Hero continued to pound his chest until he was overwhelmed by his Liverpool teammates…

"Blackburn only resisted for fifteen minutes…"

"No, Blackburn didn't want to resist at all! This game, I can bet is a victory, Liverpool will win their first Premier League title in history with this game's victory! In fact, Manchester United also knows this very well. Since losing to Liverpool 3:4 at home, the dream of winning the championship has become a bubble. This Liverpool is unstoppable!"

"I think the outcome is not in doubt, and the league title is not in doubt either. The only suspense in this game is whether Hero can complete a hat trick... He has now completed five hat tricks, tying the record of five hat tricks in a single season set by Liverpool's legendary shooter Roger Hunt in team history. Now he only needs to score two more goals to create a new record!"

The Liverpool people were celebrating wildly, but Blackburn did not show any frustration or unwillingness. They just stood there, watching the Liverpool people celebrate, with no expression on their faces. As if this game had nothing to do with them.

This is a normal performance. It's their bad luck to run into such a game and such an opponent. Liverpool just defeated Manchester United. As long as they defeat them, they can win the league title in advance. They are destined to only become objects to be ravaged.

It's not that Blackburn didn't want to resist, to maintain their dignity, and never surrender. But then they thought about it, teams like Manchester United and Manchester City were unable to defeat Liverpool, so why should they defeat Liverpool?

This is really a disheartening fact. Thinking of this, Blackburn suddenly lost their fighting spirit - forget it, anyway, we have no chance to participate in the European war next season, and we don't have to worry about relegation. The wins and losses of the next two games have nothing to do with us, so what's the point of struggling?

On the other hand, Liverpool's popularity in English football has always been better than Manchester United's. Many people sympathize with Liverpool because of the Hillsborough disaster and the Heysel disaster. Perhaps good popularity is because of this. And Manchester United's popularity is much worse. When the England team plays, fans will spontaneously shout "If you hate Manchester United, stand up and stomp your feet," and most people will respond. It can be seen that Manchester United's status in the hearts of English fans. Moreover, although Manchester United is the team with the highest brand value in the world and the team with the most fans, they have fewer supporters in Manchester than Manchester City. Many of their fans are from all over the world, and these people have nothing to do with England…

Manchester United's unpopularity may be related to their dominance in the past two decades. As the overlord, a big tree attracts the wind, which naturally makes countless people hate them and can't wait to defeat them.

And Liverpool has always been under the shadow of Manchester United, and the hatred has been attracted by Manchester United. Since they cannot threaten other teams' championships, there are naturally fewer people who hate them. Coupled with the tragic color on them, Liverpool naturally seems more lovely.

So Blackburn felt that since they had no pursuit, they might as well not make trouble…

However, it is foreseeable that if Liverpool continues to be as strong as they are this season, they will soon have enemies everywhere.

Maybe in the future, when England plays, the English fans will first shout a few times: "If you hate Liverpool, stand up and stomp your feet!"

Then many fans will stand up from their seats and stomp their feet hard.

When this day really comes, will it be a good thing or a bad thing for Liverpool fans?

But now no Liverpool fan or player has time to think about this.

Their minds are full of - goals! victory! championship!!

After taking the lead, Liverpool did not relax their pressure on Blackburn at all. They were originally good at the opening attack tactics, which are very oppressive. If the psychological quality is not good, it is estimated that they will collapse directly before the end of the first half.

Not to mention that Liverpool's momentum is now stronger than usual. Because they know that as long as they take down Blackburn, they are the champions!

The league title is like a naked, charming beauty, but Blackburn is blocking her behind. Now Liverpool must throw Blackburn aside in order to win her favor.

One goal is not enough to completely get rid of Blackburn. One goal is a punch. Do you want to knock down the flower protector with one punch? What a joke! Pegasus Meteor Fist is about the same! (reference to Saint Seiya anime)

In the following game, Liverpool continued to attack and press, while Blackburn was completely out of breath. They only had the power to parry and had no power to fight back.

Even so, they don't know how long they can last in Liverpool's stormy offensive…

Some even hoped that the game would end here, losing 0:1, it would look better on their faces, and the most important thing is that they would be spared Liverpool's devastation.

If they knew that Liverpool regarded them as the "flower protector" of the league title, they would definitely cry out for injustice, then hand over the championship and run as far as they could.

We are not flower protectors! Whoever wants this thing can take it!

Damn it! Why did we run into such a game, such an opponent?!
