Chapter 1 The attention of everyone was on Liverpool's defense because Tottenham Hotspur had been besieging Liverpool's thirty-meter area for some time. The broadcast lens was always on Liverpool's half of the field, and everyone couldn't see other places even if they wanted to.

The game had started for fifteen minutes, and Liverpool hadn't even had a single shot. This was very rare.

According to Liverpool's blitz tactics, they would often launch an attack quickly after the start of the game, using their powerful offensive lineup to launch a fierce attack on the opponent's penalty area, wave after wave, and strive to take the lead as soon as possible. In this case, how could Liverpool's number of shots be small? A special data analysis agency had analyzed the data of each of Liverpool's games, and the final statistical result was that they found that Liverpool had the most shots in the first twenty minutes of the game. The hit rate of shots during this period was also very high, averaging 9.56 shots, almost one shot every two minutes or so, which shows the density.

But this was the tactics and data of Liverpool's first team.

Liverpool's reserve team obviously couldn't meet this requirement, and Liverpool's reserve team's tactics weren't like this either.

While everyone was paying attention to Liverpool's defense, they were also paying attention to Tottenham's attack.

Tottenham's offensive was so fierce that many people thought that perhaps their next attack could penetrate Liverpool's goal.

They had been expecting it, but unfortunately, they hadn't seen it for fifteen or sixteen minutes.

Another five minutes passed, and twenty minutes had passed since the start of the first half, but the score was still motionless, as if it had been welded to the scoreboard on the electronic screen.

While everyone was surprised, they couldn't imagine how firm the beliefs of the Liverpool reserve team players were.

At this time, the reserve team players weren't just thinking about their own future. A scholar dies for his confidant. They felt that Chen Hero was taking the risk of confronting the coach to give them this opportunity because he believed in them. So how could they let Chen Hero down and lose face? They didn't know how Chen Hero had talked to Martin O'Neill, but they believed that O'Neill wouldn't easily agree to his request. After all, if it were them, they would think that Chen Hero was crazy. It's okay for him to be crazy alone, but there's no need to accompany him in his madness.

But they could imagine what Chen Hero had given.

If their performance was bad, it would not only cause the team to lose, but also implicate Chen Hero.

He could have ignored them and easily defeated Tottenham with his first team teammates—it was too easy for the first team to beat Tottenham!

Now he had chosen such a thorny path, just to fulfill his promise to them.

It would be a lie to say that the reserve team players weren't grateful and moved.

In fact, the reserve team players weren't just a little grateful and moved, but were moved to tears.

He didn't have to do this at all. Even if he didn't fulfill his promise in the end, no one would complain, because everyone knew that this was human nature.

But he did it. He bet his reputation and brought them to Wembley Stadium. He even bet other things, but they just didn't know it…

The Hero was so good to them, how could they bear to let the Hero down and be ridiculed by others?

So, we must do everything we can to protect the Hero's reputation and help him, just because he is the only one who is willing to believe in us and help us!

Strong fighting spirit plus reasonable tactical arrangements made Tottenham's attack, once it reached Liverpool's thirty-meter area, like stepping into a quagmire, making it difficult to move!

Every Liverpool player was like a *** using their body to block the gun, a fearless defender.

In the twenty-fourth minute of the game, Tottenham had a great opportunity. Midfielder Huddlestone broke into the penalty area and shot directly after receiving a pass from his teammate.

As a result, it was blocked by Liverpool defender Evans with his face!

However, the football didn't bounce far, but bounced to the side. Huddlestone's reaction was quick enough. He was only stunned for a very short moment before immediately rushing up again.

At the same time, Evans, who had fallen to the ground, was a little dizzy from Huddlestone's shot, but he saw the current danger, so he got up from the ground and chased after him.

Huddlestone chased the football again, without stopping to adjust, but came with a shot directly!

It was Evans again!

Between them, Evans threw his body out like a flying header, and once again blocked Huddlestone's shot with his face!

"Evans!!"

The commentator shouted, and there was also a burst of exclamation from the stands.

Because no one could have imagined that Evans could block the football twice in a row with his face in such a short period of time and at such a close distance…

The football that was blocked by him flew directly out of the baseline this time, and he also fell to the ground…

Two consecutive heavy blows hit his face solidly, and he really couldn't get up from the ground anymore. In fact, it was already surprising that he could get up the first time. He was completely gritting his teeth and persevering.

※※※

Seeing Evans fall to the ground, Liverpool players rushed over to check on his condition.

But not everyone would care about Evans' life or death.

For example, their opponents.

As a member of Tottenham, Huddlestone's mood was very anxious. Because they were facing a weak team, but they couldn't win the game for a long time. He was the team's midfield core, and after Modrić left the team, he shouldered the important task of the core. He hoped that he could lead the team into the final and lift the FA Cup trophy.

When they were drawn to Liverpool before, everyone was quite depressed, because they were almost certain that they couldn't beat Liverpool. Unexpectedly, they heard before the game that Liverpool was actually using a reserve team to play, and they immediately rekindled their confidence and fighting spirit.

Huddlestone was such a person. He thought they could easily defeat the weak Liverpool.

Who would have thought that it had been almost half an hour, and Liverpool's goal hadn't been broken yet.

Huddlestone began to get anxious.

Especially since his two consecutive shots that were sure to go in were blocked by that bastard he had never heard of, he was even more anxious!

When Evans blocked his shot for the second time and fell to the ground, Huddlestone raised his right hand and slapped his right arm hard with his left hand, signaling to the referee: "Handball! He handball! He used his hand to block the football!"

Chen Hero, who had run back to care about his teammates, happened to see this scene, and the fire in his heart burst into flames.

He rushed over and confronted Huddlestone, pointing at Evans behind him and angrily rebuking Huddlestone: "Have you ever seen someone block a ball with their hand and bleed their nose?!"

Behind him, Huddlestone had been turned over, and the blood stains on his face were very conspicuous, flowing from his nose.

Huddlestone also saw it, but at this time, it wasn't a question of who was right and who was wrong, it was a question of who benefited and who didn't!

Huddlestone would naturally not give in. He butted up against him: "Who knows if he fell face first when he fell…"

"I fuck you…"

When Chen Hero heard that Huddlestone was actually using such vicious language to insult a teammate who was working hard for the team, he was immediately furious and wanted to grab the other party's collar.

Huddlestone certainly noticed the change in Chen Hero's emotions. He was overjoyed and even wanted to push his chest forward to help Chen Hero close the distance between them.

He had already thought about it. As long as Chen Hero reached out and touched him, no matter where he touched him, he would immediately wail and cover his face with both hands. At this time, the referee was busy paying attention to the injured Evans and would definitely not pay attention to this side, so as long as his performance could attract the referee to turn his attention, he could give Chen Hero a red card—Chen Hero's violent temper was well known, so in this case, almost no one would suspect that he was acting…

If Chen Hero could be taken down by him, Liverpool would completely lose the weapon to threaten Tottenham, which would also be a very heavy blow to Liverpool's morale. He didn't believe that the group of kids in Liverpool's reserve team could hold on.

His wishful thinking was really good.

But unfortunately, someone rushed up to stop him.

Jay Spearing reached out and pushed Huddlestone away: "What the fuck are you talking about!"

Then he turned around and stopped the Hero: "Hero! Leave this kind of thing to me, you should go score goals!"

Chen Hero was awakened by his roar. Yes, I almost fell for this bastard's trick! This kid wants to trick me into going down!

Chen Hero, who had come to his senses, looked at Huddlestone, who had been pushed to the ground by Jay Spearing, and his eyes gradually turned cold. Huddlestone looked at him and was actually a little terrified.

Then he suddenly remembered, spread his arms and shouted: "Referee! Referee! They're pushing people! Liverpool players are pushing people!!"

※※※

Having been hit in the nose by two heavy shots in a row, Evans' nose was bleeding profusely. The team doctor rushed up and was checking whether his nasal bone was fractured. Right next to them, Chen Hero and Huddlestone had a struggle, and then Jay Spearing pushed Huddlestone down…

The scene was in chaos.

There were also commentators and fans in the stands adding to the chaos. Both sides' fans booed in dissatisfaction. Liverpool fans were booing Huddlestone. Everyone saw him raising his hands to indicate that Evans had a handball—this was simply too shameless!

And Tottenham fans were booing the scene of Spearing pushing Huddlestone down. They thought Spearing should be sent off with a red card.

The commentator, on the other hand, was afraid that the world wouldn't be in chaos, and while saying that Evans didn't handball, he said in a gloating tone: "There was a conflict on the field. It's worthy of being such an important game as the FA Cup semi-final! The atmosphere between the two sides seems to be very tense!!"
