Chapter 13 May Thirteenth

May 13th, four o'clock in the afternoon, the final round of the 2015-2016 Premier League season kicked off simultaneously. Many suspenseful scenarios unfolded on other fields.

Only at Anfield did this match have little suspense.

Who would favor Charlton to beat Liverpool away?

Who would think that Liverpool could lose to a minnow team like Charlton in the last league game?

No one, absolutely no one.

If there were no accidents, Liverpool would win the championship undefeated for the second time in club history. The last time they did this was in the 1893-1894 season, more than a century ago! That season Liverpool achieved an excellent record of twenty-two wins, six draws, and zero losses in twenty-eight games.

In fact, the phrase "if there are no accidents" can be directly deleted, because no one thinks there will be any accidents in this game. What if Bolton was possessed by Barcelona? Didn't you see Liverpool just thrash Barcelona 6-0 at home?

Anfield was packed, with fans wearing Liverpool jerseys from various eras, gathered in the stadium, waiting to witness this great moment.

Faced with such a crucial game, Martin O'Neill did not give any special treatment. He still sent out a lineup composed of half reserve team players and half first-team substitutes.

The intention of training troops was undisguised.

Anyway, Liverpool's championship celebration had already been held, and the first-team stars didn't need to enjoy the cheers in front of their fans again.

In the previous game, Liverpool set a new record - they became the team with the highest single-season points in English football history with one hundred and seven points. The previous record was held by Sunderland with one hundred and five points in the English First Division (now the English Championship). However, the results of the second-level league are definitely not as convincing as the top league, and the gold content is insufficient.

However, they are very likely unable to break another record this season.

That is the single-season goal record. The previous record belonged to Aston Villa, who created it in the 1930-31 season, with a total of one hundred and twenty-six goals in a single season.

Liverpool has now scored one hundred and eighteen goals in thirty-seven league games. Although this result is already very good, with only one league game left, they are still ten goals short... This hope is really slim.

No matter how powerful Liverpool is, it is difficult to pour ten goals into Charlton in a game! Unless Charlton completely does not defend against Liverpool's attack.

But is this possible?

Charlton also wants face, and can't be so pathetic to this point. Otherwise, how will they continue to mix in this circle in the future?

Although it is unlikely that Liverpool will complete this task, everyone still believes that if Liverpool wants to, they may be able to break this record next season.

The key is whether they want to or not. If they want to, if they prepare from the beginning of the season, with their strength and state, breaking the record is not difficult.

Maybe they don't even have to wait until the end of the season.

What these people didn't expect was that Liverpool's mission objective in this game was really to try to break the record as much as possible.

If they want to break the record, they have to score eleven goals.

This is really too difficult.

However, Martin O'Neill said to his players: "Work hard towards this goal, and the final result will definitely not be too bad!"

In this way, from the first minute of the game, Liverpool launched an attack on Charlton's goal.

People saw the Liverpool team that swept Barcelona 6-0 at home again.

Of course, he did not let all of Liverpool's main players play because he wanted to break the record. From this, it can also be seen that Martin O'Neill himself is not very confident about whether the team can break the record. This move is purely for his own peace of mind, just do his best.

O'Neill has such an idea. The Liverpool players on the field have another idea.

What is placed in front of this team composed of reserve team and first-team substitutes is a great opportunity.

Regardless of how difficult it is to complete this task, at least this opportunity belongs to them.

If they can succeed, this group of reserve team rookies and first-team substitutes will have their names forever engraved in the club's history.

This is too tempting!

So after the game started, Liverpool launched a fierce attack on Charlton.

Under the leadership of Chen Hero, goals came quickly.

In the seventh minute, Chen Hero scored the first goal for Liverpool with a header.

After the goal, Anfield Stadium roared with cheers, but none of the Liverpool players on the field celebrated. After the goalscorer Chen Hero landed from the air, he directly bent down and rushed into the goal, then picked up the football on the ground, hugged it in his arms, and turned to run towards the center circle.

His action stunned the fans in the stands for a moment, and then they let out even louder cheers.

The fans also hope that Liverpool can create a record. Even if it is really difficult, at least this team must work hard, dare to fight, instead of finding many reasons for themselves and not moving.

Sometimes, fans value the process more than the result.

Liverpool's team performance made them very happy.

So they spare no effort to cheer for the team.

※※※

After Chen Hero scored a goal, Liverpool continued to attack, and the offensive did not stop at all.

And Liverpool's goals did come one after another.

Charlton initially resisted decently, but in front of the powerful Liverpool and the Liverpool players who were crazy to score goals, their resistance was meaningless.

So in the end, Charlton figured it out.

This kind of life is like a rape, if you can't resist, then you might as well enjoy it!

Then they spread their legs.

Liverpool scored five goals in the first half.

Among them, Chen Hero scored two goals.

This result gave Liverpool fans hope.

If they score five more goals in the second half, they will be able to tie the historical record, and then score one more in stoppage time, and that will be a new record!

Everyone looked forward to the start of the second half with such expectations.

As a result, in the second half, although Liverpool's offensive did not diminish, their luck was not as good as in the first half.

In the first half, Liverpool's offense was almost a hit, and as long as a shot could be formed, eighty or ninety percent of the time it would be a goal.

It seemed that Liverpool could score no matter how they played.

But the second half was different.

Liverpool's offense was still very fierce, and they entered the opponent's penalty area many times, and there were many shots.

But the pace of scoring slowed down.

Some shots were sure-fire scoring opportunities in the first half, but in the second half, they either slid out of the goal or bounced off the post. Later, even Charlton's goalkeeper was possessed by God and performed exceptionally bravely. He also saved a world wave shot from Chen Hero.

Fifteen minutes into the second half, Liverpool only harvested their first goal of the second half. At this time, there were only thirty minutes left before the end of the game. You must know that Liverpool scored in the seventh minute in the first half!

※※※

Liverpool's seventh goal came in the seventy-seventh minute of the game. The interval between goals is getting longer and longer.

And there is less and less time left for Liverpool.

There are still thirteen minutes left, and the game will enter stoppage time, and Liverpool is three goals away from the original record, and four goals away from the new record.

These goals have to be scored in the remaining ten minutes or so, which is almost impossible. That means Liverpool has to score a goal every three or four minutes.

And the physical fitness of the Liverpool players is also declining. Without physical strength, no matter how good the state is, it cannot be reflected.

※※※

Just when everyone thought Liverpool had no hope, in the last ten minutes of the game, Chen Hero and Liverpool suddenly broke out again.

Before stoppage time, Chen Hero scored twice again, scoring two goals in a row!

Let the score of the game become 9:0, only one goal away from ten goals!

At this time, Anfield Stadium was in a frenzy, and there was nothing but shouts of "score another goal".

The players and coaches on Liverpool's reserve team and coaching bench also stood up and walked to the sidelines, watching the situation on the field nervously.

At this time, Martin O'Neill thought in his heart: If I had used all the main players from the beginning, would we have broken the record long ago?

But there is no regret medicine in the world, and it is useless to say that at this time. He can only cheer and pray for his team like the people around him.

And Charlton also felt the pressure, they retreated across the board, all shrinking in the penalty area, not going out half a step. If Liverpool shoots from a distance, then they will block the gun with their bodies except for the hands.

The raped still have shame, and are unwilling to become the last stepping stone for Liverpool to achieve a new record.

The atmosphere on the field is getting more and more fiery and fierce.

Charlton began to delay the game time. As soon as there was physical contact, their players covered their faces and fell to the ground, or fell to the ground covering their calves without any scramble, indicating that they had cramps.

Faced with Charlton's behavior, there were ear-piercing boos from the stands at Anfield Stadium.

But Charlton players don't care.

Liverpool players are getting more and more anxious. Even Chen Hero received a yellow card for arguing with the opponent's players - he has rarely encountered such a situation since he matured.

※※※

The referee gave four minutes of stoppage time, which aroused dissatisfaction from both sides of fans - Charlton fans thought the stoppage time was too long, while Liverpool fans thought the stoppage time was too short.

But no matter what they think, this is Liverpool's last chance.

Liverpool pressed forward with all their strength like crazy, and even the goalkeeper pressed to the center circle, ready to run in and participate in the attack at any time.

Even if you can't break the record, it's good to tie the record, at least write your name on this record!

At four minutes and seventeen seconds of stoppage time, Chen Hero's turn and volley hit the crossbar and bounced out of the baseline.

Carlton Cole ran towards the corner flag area at almost a 100-meter sprint speed, preparing to take a corner kick. But the referee's whistle sounded.

Three whistles, the game is over!

Charlton's players hugged and celebrated, while Liverpool's players lowered their heads in frustration.

This scene, coupled with the score on the big screen on the spot, is really strange.

Those who lost nine goals were ecstatic, but those who won nine goals were as sad as bereavement - this world is too crazy!
