Chen Hero's post-match remarks stunned many.

In people's minds, Chen Hero was just a crude man who only knew how to score goals. He scored a lot of goals, his achievements were indeed high, and he had many championships, but none of this could hide the fact that he had little education, rude words and deeds, and was essentially uncultured.

In addition, he didn't know how to restrain himself and liked to provoke trouble everywhere, so many people looked down on him and hated him.

No one believed that he could say such reasonable things.

In fact, the reason is very simple: fans should support the team, and fans and the team are one, sharing glory and loss.

But it was surprising enough that it came from Chen Hero's mouth, not to mention that he spoke very well.

He explained profound things in simple terms, cited accurate and vivid examples, so that people could understand them as soon as they heard them. His words were straightforward, but they pointed directly to the heart and were easy to understand.

Was this really the burly Chen Hero?

Most importantly, what he said was right!

No one could find any fault with it!

Barcelona fans' actions did make many media outlets and neutral fans feel that they had gone too far—a huge Camp Nou, half of the stands were empty! No matter how dissatisfied Barcelona fans were with their team, they couldn't do this! After doing so, did they still expect Barcelona players to have fighting spirit? Go to hell!

Even within Barcelona's fan base, Chen Hero's words caused division and conflict.

"Bastard! That Chinese guy is deliberately disgusting us! Saying he's teaching us a lesson… By what right? Don't think we're all fools who can't see what he means! Isn't it just that he beat us and wants to push the responsibility for the loss onto us? He's talking nonsense!"

"But… I think he's right. We did go a bit too far this time… No matter what, we should stand with our team… If we could have unconditionally supported our team at home like we did in the 2010 semi-final, maybe the score in the two legs wouldn't have been so big, and we wouldn't have lost so miserably… We did take revenge on the team, but we also made ourselves and the team a laughing stock to the world, right?"

"Bullshit! Even if he's right, what right does he have to lecture us? The whole world can say this, but Chen Hero can't! Anyway, I just don't like him! If you think he's right, then go follow him! Go be that damn Chinaman's lackey!"

"Hey, why are you talking like that? We're just expressing our opinions. Are we not even allowed to have our own opinions? Since when is it that only what you say is right, and those who oppose you are all his lackeys? No one is happy about losing the game, but don't vent your anger on your own people!"

…

Conversations like this have happened countless times in Barcelona fan groups in the past few days.

Regardless of Chen Hero's true purpose, Barcelona fans have indeed been split by his words.

One person can not only defeat a team, but also cause a team's fans to fall into chaos because of him. In this world, I'm afraid only Chen Hero can do it…

He truly is a big killer in the football world!

Whoever he targets is unlucky.

Guardiola now has mixed feelings about Chen Hero.

On the one hand, of course, is hatred, because he eliminated his team and gave him great humiliation.

On the other hand, he has to thank Chen Hero. Because Chen Hero said what he wanted to say but was inconvenient and dared not say. The fans went too far this time. In fact, he knew two days in advance that the fans would do this. But at that time, he was in the midst of the storm, and it was right to keep a low profile, and he didn't dare to jump out and provoke all the fans at this time.

So he could only endure it.

How hard it was to endure…

At this moment, Chen Hero stood up.

And spoke out of righteousness—no, it's not right to describe it as "speaking out of righteousness."

He definitely had no good intentions, but no matter what, what he said was what Guardiola wanted to say.

Moreover, he said it in a more direct and powerful way than Guardiola would have used.

And more… satisfying.

Although he was unwilling to admit it, this was Guardiola's true thought.

Chen Hero helped him vent his anger.

But… being rescued by a mortal enemy is a bit awkward…

After the entire Liverpool team returned to Liverpool, they devoted themselves to… preparing for the Champions League final.

Although the Champions League final was still far away, Liverpool had already won the domestic league title in advance, and the FA Cup final had nothing to do with their first team, so they could naturally prepare for the Champions League final with all their heart.

That night, another Champions League semi-final ended.

Real Madrid drew 1:1 with Juventus away, eliminating Juventus with a total score of 3:2 and entering the final.

Two of the most powerful three teams in European football met in the final.

This was a peak showdown that met the fans' expectations.

But after experiencing the Barcelona incident, everyone is now afraid to be so optimistic.

Originally, the semi-final match between Barcelona and Liverpool was also considered a peak showdown, but who would have thought that the match would directly become one-sided. Barcelona had no ability to resist and was massacred by Liverpool at home.

Now that Liverpool is in full swing, major European betting companies have urgently adjusted the odds for the two teams to win the championship.

Everyone is clearly optimistic about Liverpool, while Real Madrid, which is also a favorite to win the championship, is far inferior to Liverpool.

The situation is too favorable for Liverpool—defeating Barcelona by a large score has made the entire Liverpool team high-spirited and full of confidence.

Winning the league title four rounds in advance allows the Liverpool first team to get more rest and preparation time, while Real Madrid is only one point ahead of Barcelona and still cannot be careless in the remaining league games and must fight until the last round.

Although there is still the task of the FA Cup final, this game is handed over to the reserve team, so the Liverpool first team does not need to be distracted and can concentrate on preparing.

These three major favorable conditions are enough to ensure that Liverpool has the upper hand in the Champions League competition.

A voice has already emerged, saying that even Mourinho's Real Madrid will not be Liverpool's opponent.

If there are no accidents, Liverpool will become the first team to defend the Champions League title since the Champions League reform.

Of course, Liverpool coach Martin O'Neill was as cautious as ever. When answering reporters' related questions, he was very cautious and calm, and was not carried away by Liverpool's victory over Barcelona by a large score.

"Real Madrid is a very strong team, and the Champions League final is a brand new game. Our victory in the semi-final doesn't explain anything. There is no logic in football matches. Many teams have had situations where they won first and then lost. I don't think we can be spared. So the game with Barcelona has become the past, and I won't look back. I will prepare for the final in the same way I prepared for the semi-final."

The weekend league was the second-to-last round. Martin O'Neill consciously increased the proportion of reserve team players, allowing more reserve team players to participate.

After all, the Liverpool reserve team also has a task, they have to prepare for the FA Cup final.

The preparation in training had already begun after the FA Cup semi-final, and these league games were like a warm-up for them before the FA Cup final.

Carlton Cole continued to start.

He fully demonstrated what is called "one step up in each game." His performance in this game was better than the previous game, and he was more active, had a larger running range, and was very decisive and confident in dribbling.

He played with Fulham's defenders on the wing as much as he wanted, and then sent the ball into the penalty area, passing it to Chen Hero.

After providing Chen Hero with an assist, he finally harvested his first goal in the Liverpool first team.

It was a beautiful solo performance. After using speed and skills to get rid of Fulham's defensive players, he quickly cut into the penalty area, and then, after Chen Hero attracted the attention of most of Fulham's defensive players, he decisively shot.

Catching Fulham's goalkeeper off guard.

The ball flew into the goal from the near corner!

Cole was very excited after scoring the goal. He rushed to the Kop stand, then pointed to the Liverpool badge on his chest at the fans in the stand, and bowed his head for a deep kiss.

His actions infected the Liverpool fans, and they cheered for this genius cultivated by their own youth training camp.

Many people even shed tears while cheering. They were not only cheering for this genius, but also cheering for a bright future.

After experiencing several years of titleless darkness, Liverpool finally ushered in the light. Everything is gradually getting better in the sun.

The club has a new chairman, the new chairman is willing to spend money, and the new general manager is very discerning. Then they joined forces to bring in Chen Hero, finding the pillar of the future for the team. Then they brought in a very skilled coach, Martin O'Neill. More and more stars joined the team, they strengthened the team's strength, allowing the team to have the ability to play two lineups. Then the team began to win championships, starting from the League Cup, to the long-awaited league title, and then to winning all the championships in a season… Now, they defeated Barcelona by a large score, completely ending the opponent's era. Our youth training camp has finally blossomed and borne fruit, with its own talented players, whose performance is better than one game, first representing the first team, and then starting for the first team. First he had assists, and now he has goals. Everyone can see that the kid's bright future, a road full of flowers and glory, is at his feet…

Now, it's time to start our Liverpool era!
