Chapter 133 A Man of Poor Manners

Vivian really didn't expect Chen Hero, a big star, to hang up on her so rudely.

She was in the middle of an eloquent tirade against Chen Hero when she suddenly heard a busy signal on the phone, and then it was disconnected...

She said "hello" several times, but there was no response. That's when she realized that Chen Hero had hung up on her.

Enraged, she couldn't help but shout into the phone, "Fuck! Fuck you!!"

But she didn't call back. She had her dignity too. Since Chen Hero had been so impolite as to hang up on her, wouldn't it be humiliating to call back?

After this incident, her resentment towards Chen Hero deepened. What an ill-mannered fellow!

The fact that he can be an idol worshiped by half of Liverpool is a disgrace to us Liverpudlians!

※※※

Chen Hero also completely put this matter behind him. He didn't even mention it to his girlfriend. He was so busy every day, how could he remember having an inexplicable argument with a random middle-aged woman?

As for whether he was really harming old Hutson, Chen Hero believed that time would tell. He didn't have the energy to explain so much to a woman who was prejudiced against him.

Besides, Liverpool was about to face a strong opponent, and he couldn't afford to be distracted.

On October 4th, Liverpool would challenge Chelsea away.

After seven rounds of the league, Chelsea was ranked third, tied with Manchester United with eighteen points, only behind due to having one less goal difference.

Under the leadership of Advocaat this season, Chelsea was finally on the right track, or at least trending in that direction.

But first, they had to get past Liverpool.

After seven rounds of the league this season, only Liverpool remained undefeated. The other teams had lost at least one game.

People used to think of Manchester United as a mountain, but now the tables have turned, and Liverpool has replaced Manchester United, becoming a great mountain standing in everyone's way.

If they could climb over it, they could see beautiful scenery that would refresh their hearts and minds. If they couldn't, they might die halfway.

If Chelsea wanted to rise again this season, Liverpool was the best litmus test.

They were at home, which might be an advantage.

If there was one stadium that could be said to be the nemesis of Chen Hero's Liverpool, then Chelsea's home, Stamford Bridge, would definitely be on the list.

Chen Hero had been with Liverpool for three seasons. In the past three seasons, including the FA Cup, Chen Hero had visited Stamford Bridge four times. Although he had a record of scoring at Stamford Bridge, Liverpool had never won against Chelsea.

In the current situation, this was a remarkable achievement. Whether it was Old Trafford or the Emirates Stadium, their respective home teams had lost to Liverpool there.

Only Chelsea hadn't.

But Advocaat didn't admit this. "Home advantage? It's meaningless to talk about that in front of Liverpool."

No one believed him. Everyone thought he was just engaging in psychological warfare.

Chelsea was a very strange team. When they were least expected to, they could often unleash tremendous fighting power.

For example, in the 2007-2008 season, Chelsea's coach Mourinho left midway through the season. At the time, no one was optimistic about the team's future, but unexpectedly, they made it all the way to the Champions League final, only to lose to Manchester United in the penalty shootout.

The team's willpower was very tenacious.

In Europe, the only team that could make Barcelona feel afraid was Chelsea, because Barcelona, with its emphasis on artistry, was most afraid of Chelsea's tough approach and style of play.

Mourinho once famously said, "Barcelona has never defeated Chelsea with eleven men."

That reflected the situation when the two teams faced each other.

So no matter how badly Chelsea was beaten by Liverpool at Anfield, as long as they were at home, Chelsea could guarantee not losing.

Of course, it wasn't that Liverpool had no chance at all.

Last season, Liverpool did lose 0-1 to Chelsea away from home, but at the time Chen Hero was suspended for two games due to a red card, and he happened to miss that game. Otherwise, it was hard to say what the final result would have been.

After returning home, Liverpool beat Chelsea 2-1.

Now there was a gap in strength between the two teams, and Liverpool was in an upward trend. If they wanted to break the curse of not winning against Chelsea away from home, maybe this was a good opportunity.

Now Chen Hero had another way of showing respect to his opponents, but this method was not easily understood by everyone, and his opponents were even less clear about it—before setting off for the away game, he called little Hutson and told him not to let old Hutson watch this crucial battle.

"Chelsea is strong, and my mentor knows me very well. So in this game, we have to focus all our energy on how to defeat them, and not on how to have a thorough victory... The game may be a bit difficult, so it's best to let your father not watch the game. I don't want him to get stimulated by watching the game."

Chen Hero didn't mean he was really afraid of Chelsea when he said this, but that he valued Chelsea very much.

He had to give his opponents enough respect, and it would be too frivolous to boast that he would win a great victory over them away from home.

Little Hutson was also well aware that Liverpool had never won a victory at Stamford Bridge in the past three seasons, even with Chen Hero on the field.

For Liverpool, Chelsea had almost risen to the level of a "nemesis."

It was understandable that Chen Hero was so cautious.

But he was worried that his father wouldn't listen to him. Now old Hutson was practically a king, and no one dared to make him angry, for fear that he would get so angry that his heart would be overloaded...

"It's okay, just tell him it's what I want. If he still wants to see the Liverpool dynasty reappear, then listen to me."

Little Hutson was surprised to hear Chen Hero say this—his father didn't even listen to us, his children, so how could he listen to an outsider?

If that outsider was Gerrard, he might believe it a little. After all, old Hutson had watched Gerrard grow up, and he almost treated Gerrard like his own child psychologically.

But why Chen Hero?

Although he had some doubts in his heart, he honestly told his dad what Chen Hero had instructed.

"Dad, let's not watch the game against Chelsea tomorrow..."

As soon as old Hutson heard his son say this, his eyes widened.

Little Hutson quickly brought up Chen Hero's name: "It was Hero who said it, Hero said it... He just called!"

Vivian came to the hospital to visit her father. As soon as she reached the door, she heard Chen Hero's name.

Now she was very sensitive to the name "Chen Hero," as if she had set up a special sensitive word prompt function. No matter what she was doing, as long as she heard "Chen Hero" in her ear, she would immediately stop what she was doing and listen attentively.

Like now...

She was about to push the door open, but when she heard Chen Hero's name coming from inside, her hand hovered over the handle.

She heard her brother say inside, "It was Hero who said it, Hero said it... He just called!"

Then her father asked, "What did he say?"

※※※

"He said don't let you watch the game against Chelsea... He's afraid the game will be too thrilling and tense, and it will stimulate your heart. So he asked me to tell you, don't watch this game... He also said, if you want to see the Liverpool dynasty reappear, then listen to him. Take care of your health..."

After little Hutson finished speaking, old Hutson didn't say anything for a long time.

After a while, he sighed. "I know, I know... He's doing it for my own good. Chelsea hasn't lost to us at home in these three seasons, so it's normal for him to think that way... But, I have confidence in him, I have confidence in this Liverpool team..."

When little Hutson heard his father say this, he thought he was still going to insist on watching the game. His heart was in his throat. He had already brought up Chen Hero's name. If he still couldn't persuade his father, he really didn't know what to do.

Unexpectedly, old Hutson waved his hand. "Okay, I'll listen to him. If I don't watch, I don't watch... But I want to watch the replay after the game!"

"That should be possible." Little Hutson breathed a sigh of relief. As long as his father didn't watch the live broadcast and didn't get stimulated, he would agree to any conditions at this time.

※※※

Vivian listened to the conversation between the two outside the door and didn't push the door open, but was shocked by what she heard—since his heart condition, her father hadn't listened to her, and her father often turned a deaf ear to her brother's words. She sometimes felt that her father was becoming more and more stubborn, perhaps because he had been hit hard by his heart condition, his temper had become very strange. She originally thought that no one could persuade her father, and she could only let him have his way, watching him slide step by step toward the abyss.

Unexpectedly, Chen Hero, the person who made her gnash her teeth, was the one who could persuade her father.

She was really surprised.

And she didn't expect Chen Hero to advise her father not to watch the game...

She felt that this completely subverted her impression and perception of Chen Hero.

She even thought she had misheard. This couldn't be the kind of thing that Chen Hero, that bastard, would say!

He was so selfish, impolite, and had no manners... He even encouraged her father to watch the game, putting him in a very dangerous situation. How could such a person consider her father's well-being? And he even called specifically to persuade him not to watch the game?

But the most unacceptable thing for her was that her father listened to Chen Hero when he wouldn't listen to anyone else.

She felt that something called "arrogance and prejudice" was collapsing in her heart... But she didn't want to admit it.
