"The game has entered garbage time, and Manchester City certainly can't pose any threat to Liverpool, because they haven't even dealt with their own problems! There's no suspense in this game anymore. With a two-goal lead, Liverpool will definitely not hand over the championship..."

The commentator on TV was still chattering away. But this time, the Manchester City fans didn't curse the TV broadcast for giving Chen Hero a close-up after Aguero scored, like they had before.

Not only the Manchester City fans in the stands at Wembley Stadium, but even the Manchester City fans in front of the TV were silent.

Many Manchester City fans, unable to bear the blow, chose to turn off the TV directly, out of sight, out of mind.

But this didn't stop Manchester City's collapse.

Yes, it was a collapse.

In the eighty-sixth minute, substitute Adam Johnson scored a goal in front of the goal, making the score 4-1, and Liverpool won a convincing victory!

Before the game was over, Manchester City fans in the stands had already begun to leave. If it was just an ordinary defeat, perhaps they could have faced it calmly, but the reason for the defeat was their own infighting, so they could never accept it.

This time, it wasn't because they didn't want to see Liverpool slaughter their beloved team by a large margin, but because they couldn't accept that their beloved team would choose to lose the championship in such a way. It was a loss of both the game and face!

In the end, when the game was over, most of the Manchester City fans in the stands had left.

Manchester City's performance today was really disappointing to them.

The Liverpool fans in the stands, on the other hand, jumped up with the referee's whistle, letting out deafening cheers. So much so that the commentators had to raise their voices to avoid being drowned out by the wave of cheers.

"The game is over! Liverpool has won the championship!"

"The full-time whistle blows! Liverpool are the League Cup champions this season!"

"The referee has blown the whistle for the end of the match, a final with no suspense! Liverpool beat Manchester City, they are the undisputed champions!"

"Although it's just a League Cup title, it's still very precious to Liverpool. Because the current Liverpool isn't picky. They are incredibly eager for any championship!"

"Liverpool has won two titles so far this season, and they seem unstoppable!"

※※※

As soon as the game ended, my colleagues and the substitute players rushed onto the field like crazy, hugging the Liverpool players on the field.

Martin O'Neill himself seemed very calm.

He stood on the sidelines, applauding, but his eyes fell on Chen Hero.

He thought of Chen Hero's "big talk" before the season.

Four championships, now he has one in hand, with three left. Can he really achieve this goal?

This kid really led the reserves to the semi-finals of the League Cup, amazing…

How many more surprises can you bring us, Hero?

※※※

Chen Hero hugged his teammates and cheered for a League Cup. Perhaps in the eyes of others, the League Cup is a complete waste. (chicken ribs)

But after all, it is a championship. The saying that it is a waste is just promoted by those who can't win the championship, just like saying grapes are sour when you can't eat them.

As long as it's a championship, Chen Hero likes it, even if it's an invitational tournament championship, he wants to take it.

Last summer, Liverpool had already won two championships, one was the Beijing Temple Cup and the other was the Community Shield Cup. Others may not have paid attention to these two championships, but Chen Hero put in 100% effort.

On the road to chasing Messi's glory, he still has many championships to win. He won't stop until he completely tramples Messi under his feet.

At the League Cup awards ceremony, when Gerrard, as Liverpool's captain, raised the League Cup high, the atmosphere at the scene reached its climax. Countless red confetti fell from the sky, and the Liverpool fans at the scene spontaneously sang Liverpool's football anthem, "You'll Never Walk Alone."

This scene was seen by many Liverpool fans as a sign of the team's complete revival. Because when you only win a league title, many people will curl their lips and say it's luck. As long as you are willing to spend money, anyone can win a championship. Didn't a team like Blackburn rely on the British steel tycoon to spend money and win a league title?

How to prove that you are different from Blackburn? How to tell everyone that Liverpool is a real giant?

Of course, it is one championship after another, using more championships to shut up those who questioned us before!

League title, Community Shield Cup title, now the League Cup title.

Next, there are the FA Cup title, the league title, and the Champions League title!

We Liverpool pursue honor, and the pace of revival will never stop.

"Congratulations to Liverpool! They are the League Cup champions of the 2014-2015 season!" the commentator said.

But perhaps even he himself couldn't believe that from then on, Liverpool would be like a hungry wolf, not letting go of any championship they could win...

※※※

When the entire Liverpool team returned with the League Cup trophy, they were warmly welcomed by the Liverpool fans. Liverpool even held a parade to celebrate. Suarez came as promised, but he wasn't in a wheelchair, he came with crutches.

Such a celebration naturally drew ridicule from some people. They thought that a League Cup title was not worth Liverpool fans being so excited, which showed how far Liverpool had fallen...

But Liverpool people didn't care about other people's ridicule and sarcasm. Why should we reflect and frown when we win a championship? We Liverpool fans just want to celebrate.

At the airport, facing the enthusiastic Liverpool fans, the Liverpool team showed them the trophy, and then Chen Hero was recommended to say a few words to the enthusiastic fans.

Chen Hero was not polite, took the microphone and stood at the front of the team.

"Guys!" he raised a hand and shouted loudly.

The scene immediately quieted down, and everyone looked at Chen Hero, wanting to hear what he was going to say.

"I guarantee you! This!" Chen Hero raised the League Cup with one hand.

"It will definitely not be the last championship—I mean this season!"

"I also guarantee you, this will definitely not be the last such season! In the future, we will have many, many such opportunities to cheer for championships! I hope you won't get tired of having to go out on the streets to welcome the champions!"

His teammates and fans behind him burst into laughter.

Then Chen Hero turned around to Chen Xing, the club chairman who had returned with the team, and winked at him: "Chairman. Don't forget to add another trophy display room to the new stadium construction plan, otherwise I'm worried it won't be enough!"

※※※

Samuel Mertz didn't go to the airport to welcome the triumphant team, but chose to watch the live broadcast at home.

When he heard Chen Hero's words, he couldn't help but laugh.

It was exactly the same as what he said outside his door that day!

On the TV, the club chairman, the Chinese Chen Xing, smiled and nodded, apparently agreeing!

※※※

Chen Hero's speech at the airport didn't attract the attention of the entire English media. No matter how high the League Cup is valued, it is still a waste (chicken ribs). The gold content of such a championship is not high. The media even said: "Just look at how Liverpool can reach the semi-finals with a reserve team plus one Chen Hero, and you can know the level of this event..."

Since there is no gold content, naturally no one pays attention.

So these people missed a historic moment.

——This is Liverpool's declaration of revival!

Because Chen Hero is not the kind of person who just talks for fun.

The joy that the League Cup brought to Liverpool hadn't disappeared yet, and thirty-one miles away in Manchester, something else was happening.

The Manchester media didn't continue to wage war with Chen Hero after the game this time, because they had more important things to report and pay attention to.

Just one day after the game, the conflict between Manchester City coach Mancini and Aguero at halftime was exposed by the media.

Although everyone knows that the locker room is a forbidden area for the media, and many coaches strictly prohibit players from revealing what happens in the locker room to the media, there is a saying in this world that "there is no wall that doesn't leak," so there will always be a lot of so-called "secrets" revealed to the media, and then spread through the media.

However, many of these rumors will be refuted by the parties and the teams involved as rumors.

As for what the truth is, only ghosts know.

But this time, it's different.

The media that broke the news said with certainty, vividly describing the intense scene of the conflict at the time, and reported in detail what both sides said.

And most importantly, this time, it was not refuted by the two parties involved.

Neither coach Mancini nor Aguero stood up to say anything, but remained silent.

After losing the League Cup final, the silence of the two people seemed particularly strange.

Not only them, but the other Manchester City players also fell silent. When reporters went to them to verify, they all kept silent.

After losing the League Cup final, and being bombarded by the team's main striker, Mancini is now in a mess. He desperately wants to get support from the club's senior management and can't bother to respond to anything in the media.

But when he thought he could get support from Mubarak, he found that he was wrong.

Mubarak left the field early before the game was over. The reporter who reported this incident specifically wrote: "Mubarak looked very dissatisfied and angry when he left the stadium. This is the first time he has left the field early since he became the chairman of Manchester City Club..."

For Mancini, this is actually a very bad sign.

And he didn't know that Aguero's agent had made his request to the Manchester City club.

Want Aguero to renew his contract with the team? Yes, but the club must first drive away the incompetent Mancini. As for who will replace him, Aguero doesn't care, as long as it's not Mancini.

For a time, the Italian coach's position at Manchester City became precarious.

Chen Hero would never have imagined that in this final, he would force another coach to be fired...
