Chapter 1 Liverpool's Revenge

Liverpool returned to Liverpool with a 3-1 away victory, where they were warmly welcomed by their fans. The English media also praised Liverpool's achievements away from home.

"Liverpool avenges successfully!"

The Liverpool Echo used this headline to express their joy and excitement.

The media in other countries also stated that there was no problem for Liverpool to enter the top eight.

The German media was full of mourning, and they were not optimistic about the defending champion's road to defending their title.

Magath heard calls for his dismissal after the game, and the media bombarded his tactics. Just as he had expected in the game, if he lost, everything he did was wrong, even though what he did was the main reason why Bayern Munich was able to win the Champions League last season.

"Magath's tactics are too conservative. He wants to defend to the death at his home court—it's ridiculous! If you don't attack or score goals at home, do you still want to score more goals when you go to the away game?"

"It is said that after the game, there was a conflict in Bayern Munich's locker room. Ribery, who had been sitting on the bench in this game and did not get a chance to play, quarreled with Magath. In the end, the two were pulled away by other players..."

"The defending champion was beaten 1:3 by Liverpool at home and was unable to fight back. It's simply a disgrace!"

"I don't think the strength gap between Bayern Munich and Liverpool is that big. If Bayern Munich can let go and attack Liverpool at home, it's not certain who will win or lose in the end. However, Magath's conservatism buried Bayern Munich's great situation. Now we can only say goodbye to this season's Champions League in advance. Although there is still an away game, can you still have a good time if you can concede three goals at home?"

All kinds of criticisms followed one after another, overwhelming Magath.

The day after the game, Magath submitted his resignation to the senior management of Bayern Munich.

At the same time, he also published a declaration of departure in the media, and by the way, he scolded the media who were like grass on the wall.

"When we won the Champions League last year, we used the same set of tactics. What did you say at that time? What are you saying now that we have lost a game? Yes, my tactics are conservative, but I can win the championship. How long has it been since Bayern Munich won the Champions League? I came, and the Champions League was there. What about you? What else can you do besides talking coolly? Fight Liverpool head-on? You really don't know how to write the word 'death'! I am proud of my two seasons as coach of Bayern Munich, and I have never felt sorry for Bayern Munich. Now it's time to leave this team. Thank you to the coaches and players who worked with me. I am proud of you!"

He said so, can Bayern Munich still keep him? Not to mention that the senior management of the club did not want to keep him in the first place.

In this way, Bayern Munich passed Magath's resignation. Assistant coach Peter Hermann temporarily served as the acting head coach, and the club urgently contacted Löw, the former coach of the German national team, hoping that he could come to coach Bayern Munich.

For Liverpool, Bayern Munich's last-minute change of coach is good news. This means that Bayern Munich will be even less able to threaten them, and the second round of the game has completely lost its suspense—no one would think that Bayern Munich, who has changed their coach, can still eliminate Liverpool away from home, otherwise Peter Hermann would not have been sitting in the assistant coach position for so many years without moving.

Chen Hero's two goals in this game made him score eleven goals in this season's Champions League game. He continues to lead the scorer list, and both Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi can only eat dust behind his butt.

The season is only halfway through, and the total number of goals he has scored in various competitions has reached an astonishing sixty-four. Looking at this situation, he is likely to break his own record of eighty-seven goals in a single season last season.

It has become a routine for the media to tout Chen Hero after every game.

Chinese fans don't even need to look for it to see a lot of reports about Chen Hero, which are almost all good things, and no one says bad things about him.

Those who are upset with Chen Hero can only choose to shut up, or simply pretend they can't see it.

It's really because Chen Hero is too strong now, and there's nothing wrong to pick on. He has few assists, and it can be said that he is selfish, but he has a reason to be selfish. Any team that has him hopes that he will be even more selfish, because he can score goals. As long as he can score goals, who cares whether he is selfish or not?

After returning to Liverpool, Chen Hero and the whole team have to prepare for another important game together—the League Cup final.

Liverpool vs. Manchester City.

This is the first championship Liverpool may win this season.

Although it's just the League Cup, which is very tasteless, Liverpool can't give up when it comes to this. Not to mention that their opponent in the final is Manchester City, and they can't lose to Manchester City!

For this League Cup final, the league games between Liverpool and Manchester City have been rescheduled. Although it is the youngest and most tasteless of the two domestic cup competitions, it is still the final anyway. Before the game, the media hyped it up, and there was still a feeling of a big battle coming.

The mouths of both sides were not idle either, busy spitting at each other.

The hatred between Manchester City and Liverpool is getting more and more deeply rooted, and it has nothing to do with the comparison of strength between the two sides, or the past record of the two sides. It's purely because they can't stand each other and look down on each other, so no matter what the situation is, as long as they meet, there will be a round of mutual ridicule and verbal attacks.

And this matter, especially Manchester City, will not think about whether their provocation of Liverpool will bring more serious consequences...

They just want to have their say.

Manchester City spits at Liverpool, and Chen Hero is not willing to be outdone. As Liverpool's only designated legitimate MT (main tank), he firmly attracts the hatred firepower of his opponents to himself.

In the past, when Chen Hero was single-handedly challenging the opponent, some people said that Liverpool didn't even have anyone to help him, which just shows how bad Chen Hero's popularity is in the team, but later they found that it had nothing to do with popularity, and it seemed to be a deliberate arrangement by the Liverpool team.

Chen Hero is the person designated by the team to fight the war of words!

A player who can not only score goals on the field, but also use his eloquent tongue to defeat millions of enemy troops off the field is really the highest realm of a professional player!

This time, the war of words was different from the past because of the previous rumors of "Hero transferring to Manchester City".

Mancini seized this opportunity to criticize Chen Hero in order to restore his declining prestige in the locker room, appease people's hearts, and tell his players—you see, I have scolded Chen Hero into a pile of shit, you should always believe that I don't have the idea of ​​"destroying my own prestige and increasing the ambition of others", right?

He also took the opportunity to praise Aguero when he denied the transfer rumors between Chen Hero and Manchester City in an interview with reporters.

"I said from the beginning that I didn't want to buy Chen Hero, but you didn't believe it. You should always believe it now, right? I don't know anything about this, so I can't have this idea... What's more, we already have a world-class shooter Aguero in our lineup, we don't need Chen Hero..."

In fact, Mancini really hopes that Chen Hero can come, but what can he do if Chen Hero doesn't come? If Chen Hero doesn't come, and Aguero is still interested in leaving, then it would be a complete waste of effort.

This time, the war of words was different from before. Coach Mancini was particularly hardworking, but the players were not very enthusiastic, as if they were watching coldly.

And Mancini worked so hard because he really needed to use this method to win people's hearts.

If people's hearts are scattered, this team will not be easy to lead...

Now he is particularly upset with the club's young chairman, who doesn't understand anything, likes to point fingers, and is unreliable in his work. He even let others reveal the news to the media. Isn't this courting death? Now he is so passive, but he is like a normal person!

Damn it! I have to take the blame for everything. I took it, but you brought Chen Hero to me! You can't bring it and there is no explanation. Now I am caught in the middle, and I am not a human being inside or outside!

Chen Hero found Mancini's and Manchester City's attitude funny, but he did not reply to the other party through the media, because what he wanted to say was not suitable for expression through traditional media.

He just left such a sentence on his Twitter.

"Begging for it like a dog at first, now disgusted after using. Hahahaha!"

He wrote it in Chinese, so most foreigners couldn't understand it, but they had to understand it, because they felt that Chen Hero's sudden comment must be of great significance.

This time, the Chinese understood it, and the fans on the Internet laughed with Chen Hero. Isn't this just satirizing that Manchester City did not hesitate to buy Chen Hero at all costs, but after being rejected by Chen Hero, they directly turned their backs and refused to recognize people, saying something like "We don't need Chen Hero, because we have a better Aguero", I don't know if Mancini feels guilty when he says this...

Foreign reporters are still painstakingly deciphering the "secret words" left by Chen Hero.

The League Cup is imminent.

In fact, the time was not long in the first place. After finishing the away Champions League game, there were only four days. In order to seize the time, they did not even spend the night in Munich. After the game, they took the latest plane back to Liverpool, so that they could catch up with the next day's training. Even so, the team had to take half a day off the next day, so that everyone could have a good sleep in the morning, and then come to training in the afternoon.

Three days passed in a flash, and the League Cup final against Manchester City had arrived.
