Chapter 137 Pescara's Characters

After the live broadcast of the special program "Pescara's Characters," everyone saw Richard. Gill's ugly appearance on television. Although Chen Hero's foul-mouthed rant made many people uncomfortable, attacking him with "cursing" was no longer effective. Since he dared to swear on the BBC's "Match of the Day," directly scolding the program team, what else was he afraid of?

So, cursing had become a label for Chen Hero. For many who liked him, it wasn't a problem at all, but a manifestation of his true self.

Besides, Chen Hero's curses were justified.

Richard. Gill was the one who provoked the hatred first, constantly saying "you Chinese" and "you Chinese people" this and that, and groundlessly questioning Chen Hero's innocence. He deserved to be cursed.

Most people didn't think there was anything wrong with Chen Hero's cursing. On the contrary, Richard. Gill, who was usually sharp-tongued and quick-witted on television, performed very poorly, unable to produce any evidence. In the end, he was thoroughly humiliated by Chen Hero's scolding.

Even those who originally supported him were greatly disappointed with such a terrible performance, because they felt that Richard. Gill's performance had disgraced all those who questioned and disliked Chen Hero.

Especially Chen Hero's angry scolding at the end. Although he was pointing at Richard. Gill, he kept saying "you," obviously scolding all those who disliked him.

If it hadn't been for Gill's clumsy performance, how would Chen Hero have had the opportunity to rant and rave so triumphantly at them?

But no matter how uncomfortable they were with Chen Hero, their performance would not necessarily have been better than Chen Hero's.

Because the most important thing was evidence. They questioned Chen Hero's use of banned drugs, and they needed evidence to support their argument.

But what evidence did they have?

Like Gill, they also felt uncomfortable with Chen Hero's arrogance, so they followed Gill in shouting that he had taken stimulants, and that the reason they hadn't been detected was simply because the technology wasn't advanced enough.

But this was purely playing word games. Once the other party wanted to get serious with them and ask them to produce evidence, they would all be idiots.

Therefore, as long as Chen Hero asked them to produce evidence, it would be useless for them to deny or quibble in any way. Everyone saw Chen Hero seize Gill's fatal weakness and pursue him relentlessly, not forgetting to mock Gill's appearance.

As a result, after this episode aired, there was significantly less talk in the media about whether Chen Hero had used stimulants.

Those die-hards who previously believed that Chen Hero was unclean also shut their mouths after seeing Richard. Gill's fate.

But don't think things will be so peaceful.

Chen Hero is a very vengeful person.

No one has ever been able to publicly scold him and continue to live well without incident.

Soon, all those who had questioned Chen Hero's achievements and believed that he had used banned drugs, as well as media outlets, received a letter from a lawyer—they were all sued in court by Chen Hero's legal team!

Not only in the UK, but also in Europe, any media that had expressed this view could not escape the fate of being sued by Chen Hero.

In China, Xie Liang, the fan who had posted several Weibo posts to scold Chen Hero and insinuated that Chen Hero had used banned drugs, was also included. This time, he finally enjoyed the same treatment as the Western free media elites he yearned for.

However, Dracula initially disagreed with Chen Hero's decision to sue Xie Liang, because he believed that Xie Liang's words were vague and did not definitively state that Chen Hero had used banned drugs. He was playing word games, and it might not be easy to sue him, and there would be a lot of wrangling.

Chen Hero didn't care about this. Anyway, he didn't need to appear in court, and there was plenty of time. It didn't matter if it took four or five years. Wrangling was fine, then he would just keep holding court and adjourning and holding court and adjourning. Anyway, he wanted to fill Xie Liang's life with lawsuits for the next few years. He wanted to make sure that Xie Liang couldn't live in peace while losing the lawsuit.

"Isn't he the one who likes to say 'I am responsible for what I have said' the most? Then I will teach him what it truly means to be responsible for what you have said," Chen Hero snorted disdainfully.

The specific details of the lawsuit with the reporters and media were not Chen Hero's concern, so sending lawyer's letters did not delay his preparations for the FA Cup.

After the end of the league, Martin O'Neill brought all the reserve team players to the first team's training ground to train together with the first team, so that they could familiarize themselves with the first team's tactics and cooperation, and also improve their own abilities.

Of course, the most important thing was to increase their understanding with Chen Hero.

Chen Hero finally didn't have to train alone with the reserve team in the instance dungeon—Cabrera had arrived, and he didn't have much time to sneak into the instance dungeon to train anyway.

While he was using a program to scold Richard. Gill to the point of humiliation, making the entire media world silent, he was in the team, training as usual as if nothing had happened.

His teammates couldn't help but admire him.

What player would dare to treat the media like this? Wouldn't they be scolded to death by the media…

Anyway, they didn't dare. Offending the media was of no benefit to them. For Chen Hero, it was actually of no benefit either, but he didn't care.

After this incident, there would definitely be many more voices in the media demonizing him, but hadn't he been demonized by the media for a day or two? Had he ever cared? He never cared, he just followed his own character, principles and true heart to live. He was a public figure, but he had never tried to hide anything, whether it was his advantages or disadvantages, he showed them all to the public.

Those who were used to seeing a hypocritical smiling face in front of the media lens were greatly surprised, and even panicked, as if Chen Hero was some kind of hideous monster, so they scolded Chen Hero and ridiculed Chen Hero.

But this scene was truly ridiculous.

Since when did people who wear masks and pretend to be hypocritical have the right to ridicule a person who walks between heaven and earth with his true face?

Just because everyone is used to wearing masks, so when they suddenly see someone who doesn't wear a mask, they think he is a monster? Have they all forgotten what kind of face is under their masks?

Perhaps they have really forgotten, because the mask has been worn for too long, it has taken root on their faces, and it is stuck to their skin, and it is completely inseparable. If they have to be forcibly separated, I am afraid that if they tear off the mask, they will also tear off the skin on their faces, leaving a bloody face, and the bloody muscle tissue and blood vessels will be exposed to the air—that is the real monster.

In fact, Chen Hero had not considered such a deep problem. He just felt that it was tiring to pretend to live. Once you start pretending, you have to keep pretending. Because the first image you show to everyone is the easiest to be accepted, and after everyone has taken over, you may be forced by pressure to slowly live as they hope, in order to satisfy the public and meet the expectations of others. In this way, you are forced to wear a mask—many people are also forced to wear a mask in this way, and they can never take it off.

For some people, living like this, being forced to wear a mask, they don't think it's a big deal.

But Chen Hero felt very tired. Because before speaking and doing things, you have to think about whether it is in line with your public image… On one side is Chen Hero, who has been carefully packaged in front of the public, and on the other side is the real Chen Hero, who has been deeply rooted for more than 20 years. If the two Chen Hero coexist, Chen Hero will be schizophrenic over time—directly schizophrenic.

So he simply showed everyone his most real side from the beginning, so that they could see, this is me, this is Chen Hero, if you like and can accept it, then you accept it, if you don't accept me, don't like me, and want to scold me, then it's up to you, don't say that I deceived your feelings in the first place. The freedom to choose whether to like or not is in your hands, I will just live like this anyway, I will be happy if I live myself, and if someone likes me at the same time, then I will earn it. If you don't like me, then it's pretty normal…

Chen Hero became a freak and a monster in this arena of fame and fortune with this kind of mentality.

※※※

While Chen Hero and the reserve team were working hard, the FA Cup final was getting closer and closer.

Because Chen Hero sued everyone who said he used stimulants and the media, the media did not discuss his recent record-breaking achievements during this period. Everyone turned the topic to the FA Cup.

This FA Cup final does have a lot to talk about.

For example, this is the most special FA Cup, because Liverpool, one of the finalists, actually used the reserve team to participate in the entire game.

Using the reserve team to participate is not Liverpool's original creation, but they have achieved the pinnacle of perfection.

In all the games, except for Chen Hero, there was not a single first-team player. All of them were reserve team players.

Originally, it was obvious that they were going to give up this event, but with the efforts of the entire team and Chen Hero, they managed to reach the final…

You must know that many players have racked their brains to go further in the FA Cup, but they can't do it for one reason or another. Liverpool, however, relied on a reserve team to reach the final.

This is really a case of deliberately planting flowers that don't bloom, but unintentionally planting willows that create shade.

If this is not legendary enough, there is something even more legendary. In the final battle with Chelsea, they even planned to send out the entire reserve team lineup!

In the eyes of others, this is really courting death!

The final!

This is the FA Cup final!

No matter how much the FA Cup's status has declined now, no matter how useless it is, it is also the oldest cup competition in modern football history, and the final is also held at Wembley Stadium. Liverpool actually used the entire reserve team lineup to play. Did they really think that they could defeat a team like Chelsea and win the FA Cup with just one Chen Hero plus ten reserve team players?

Well, even so, not many media questioned Liverpool before the game. Who told Chen Hero to be so popular now?

If there was no Chen Hero, all the media would ridicule them mercilessly, ridiculing Martin O'Neill.

But because of Chen Hero, everything is different.

Even Chelsea's coach Advocaat seemed very cautious at the pre-match press conference.

"Liverpool's reserve team? Yes, I know, but this doesn't explain anything… I don't care whether it's Liverpool's first team or reserve team standing in front of us. For me, as long as they can reach the final, there is no weak team. So we will do our best… They have Hero, a very terrible opponent, I'm not saying he scored sixty-two goals… Actually, I knew this when he was still at Zenit Saint Petersburg… But we will do our best, and we will see who wins when the game is over."
