Chapter 1355 One Goal Short! (First Update, Seeking Monthly Tickets)
No one noticed Coloccini's strange fall, as it was too coincidental. He had just fallen when the football flew over him and ultimately crashed into the goal.
However, no one investigated further because everyone's attention was focused on Chen Hero at this time.
Those who supported Chen Hero cheered, encouraged, and applauded him.
Those who opposed him cursed and booed him loudly.
Newcastle United's official commentator cheered for the team.
"We only conceded one goal, it's nothing, it's not the end of the world! Because the opponent needs to score at least three goals, and now there are still two goals left. We can definitely defend! This goal had some luck involved, Coloccini fell..."
Still, no one felt that there was anything wrong with Coloccini's fall, so they missed the opportunity to know the truth, and no one noticed that the cracks in Newcastle United's defense were gradually widening...
Coloccini got up from the ground and saw the football fly into the goal. He didn't feel any guilt. Because this was a war between the British and Chen Hero, it had nothing to do with him. He had already entered spectator mode.
Normal defense was no problem, but to have him block a shot with his body... impossible!
※※※
Newcastle United's official commentator was right, although they conceded a goal, it was not the end of the world, nor did it mean that Newcastle United's mission to stop Chen Hero had failed.
Because there were still two goals to go.
So Alan Pardew watched the football fly into the goal without getting up from his seat.
Losing a goal and having Chen Hero break through the goal were both within his expectations, so there was nothing to be surprised about.
And don't think that just because we lost a goal, we will panic and press forward to attack.
This is not the kind of game that can't be lost.
In the last round of the league, Newcastle United had no worries about relegation, and there was no hope of getting a Europa League spot. The Magpies were truly without any desires.
So they wouldn't have any worries about their performance. They just needed to do their best to defend against Chen Hero and prevent him from scoring more goals. Even if they lost in the end, they would still be the victors.
Isn't it contradictory?
But that's the reality.
Alan Pardew told all the players this before the game, telling them not to have any concerns, even if they lost the game, as long as they didn't let Chen Hero score.
So he believed his team wouldn't collapse because of this goal. If Liverpool thought they would open the door to welcome them just because they scored early, they would be dead wrong!
Alan Pardew sat in his seat, not even getting up, still with his legs crossed. He looked confident.
He also didn't realize what kind of impact Chen Hero's "impatient" shots had on his team...
※※※
After Chen Hero scored, he didn't rush into the goal to pick up the ball. He had already seen what he wanted to see from this goal.
Coloccini's fall was definitely not an accident or coincidence, which showed that Newcastle United's players were afraid!
They were cowards.
This was good news.
Chen Hero was even more confident that he could complete the mission.
The game restarted, and after Newcastle United made a symbolic attack, they quickly retreated.
Their pre-match tactic was defense. In addition to defense, the coach didn't practice attacking. Plus, almost all the players on the field were defensive players, so Newcastle United couldn't attack even if they wanted to.
Now they were forced to use up a substitution spot eight minutes into the game, and the remaining two spots were even more valuable and had to be kept in hand.
It was even more impossible for Newcastle United to attack.
Newcastle United retreated and continued to defend desperately. This was Alan Pardew's arrangement before the game.
The team was still executing this order.
Pardew was very satisfied and relieved to see the team's performance on the sidelines.
It seemed that Chen Hero's goal hadn't crushed Newcastle United.
He was full of confidence in the upcoming game.
He would never have thought that Chen Hero's impact on the team started from within.
The strongest fortress often collapses from within.

In the following game, Chen Hero didn't change his offensive style just because he had already scored a goal.
Although this method was very monotonous, it was to swing his foot and kick the football at people until they couldn't handle it and gave way, then his shot would go straight to the goal.
This approach had no technical content and wasn't very aesthetically pleasing.
But the effect was really good.
And if the ball went in, it would be a beautiful world-class goal.
The Chinese fans enjoyed watching it, because there weren't many opportunities to kick people so openly.
While watching the game, everyone cheered for Chen Hero on Weibo, supporting his approach. You know, when Newcastle United fans used the obviously insulting "China_man" to refer to Chen Hero, and the entire English media sided with Newcastle United fans, Chinese fans knew about this through domestic media and other fans in the UK. Everyone was indignant, but they didn't know what to do. They had cursed the British on Weibo during the London Olympics, but was it useful? It was useless. Didn't IOC President Rogge shamelessly lie at the closing ceremony of the London Olympics, claiming that the London Olympics was impeccable? An Olympics where the national flag could be blown away by the wind during the award ceremony, the Olympic flame went out several times, the beds in the Olympic Village were only 1.73 meters long, and there were a lot of referee problems, how dare they say it was impeccable?
But the IOC President could lie so shamelessly, and there was a group of mainstream media following along to praise it, saying the Olympics were well done.
So cursing was useless. Besides making yourself feel angry and anxious, it had no other use.
Now, Chen Hero had done what they wanted to do but couldn't, so how could they not be happy? They were extremely happy!
Of course, there are all kinds of birds in the forest. Some people on Weibo angrily denounced Chen Hero's actions as immoral, and said with particular sanctimony: "Do you know the status of Dixie Dean in English football? Do you know how important this record is to English football? Chen Hero should be ashamed of his actions and apologize to English players!"
But these people were, after all, a minority, and they were quickly drowned in saliva by the "Chen Hero's water army" in their mouths, who were actually enthusiastic fans.
※※※
Chen Hero found that the Newcastle United players had become smarter. They wouldn't block every shot with their bodies anymore.
They would also dodge some shots if he shot too wide.
Plus, some long shots would be completely missed, so they didn't need to block them.
But Chen Hero wasn't worried – if you have the ability, keep dodging, even the shots I aim at the goal!
So you can't escape!
Chen Hero continued to bombard Newcastle United's goal.
Twenty minutes passed, and he hadn't scored a goal.
Newcastle United fans in the stands began to laugh at Chen Hero: "You can only eat shit behind Dean's ass, China_man!!"
"Go back to your barbaric homeland, England doesn't welcome you!"
But just as they were starting to laugh at Chen Hero, Chen Hero scored again...
Still a long shot, still aimed at Coloccini, Coloccini fell at the most critical moment again!
Then the football passed over him and went into the goal!
His two goals were almost identical!
So when the football flew into the goal, everyone was stunned for a moment.
Then they realized – the ball really went in!
It wasn't their eyes playing tricks, it really flew into the goal!
Hero scored twice!!
Hero's second goal was born in such an unexpected situation...
The commentators went collectively crazy.
Whether they supported Chen Hero or opposed Chen Hero, they couldn't control their emotions at this time.
"Hero! Hero – oh! Hero!!! He scored twice!"
"Fifty-ninth goal! Fifty-nine goals! Fifty-nine! Hero scored his fifty-ninth goal! What an amazing number!"
"Oh my god! He is only one goal away from catching up with Dixie Dean! Only one goal away! And now there are fifty-five minutes left in the game! Fifty-five minutes, one goal, can he do it? Can he do it?"
"Hero's signature long shot! Although Newcastle United's defense has done its best, Chen Hero still scored twice! What an amazing ability! He is indeed the most terrifying goal scorer in the world of football today! Super center!"
In the commentators' roars, Chen Hero stood still, raising his arms high, nothing more. His celebration was even less passionate than the commentators – many commentators held their heads in their hands, with surprised expressions, and some danced on the commentary stand, simply standing up from their seats.
For Chen Hero, there was really nothing to be excited about, because he was still one goal away from sixty goals. As long as he didn't break the record, there was nothing to be excited about. And scoring goals was really a simple thing for Chen Hero, so he wouldn't be excited about the fifty-ninth goal, even if it was only one goal away from history.
His teammates were particularly excited, swarming over and surrounding him, then hugging him and patting him hard on the back and shoulders.
The Liverpool fans in the stands were even more excited, and they shouted at Chen Hero: "Hero! Make history! You can do it!"
After the initial shock, the Newcastle United fans booed in exasperation. Of course, they had no other choice but to do so.
But they had to do it. Whether it could affect Chen Hero was another matter, but at least they had to show their attitude and never applaud or cheer for the achievements of their bitter rivals.
Gentlemanly demeanor?
Let that damn gentlemanly demeanor go to hell!
All we know is that this "Chinese" is very annoying!
