Chapter 1 When Chen Hero Said "I Want to Finish This Game with My Left Foot" to Martin O'Neill

When Chen Hero said, "I want to finish this game with my left foot" to Martin O'Neill, Martin O'Neill was stunned.

He was stunned not because he didn't know Chen Hero's left-foot level. In fact, although he rarely showed his left foot in games, he used his left foot a lot to complete various shooting practices in training. It is said that he is now starting to practice free kicks with his left foot—he really wants to build himself into an all-around goal machine with both feet, a three-dimensional style of play, and no blind spots in all situations and all areas...

Chen Hero's left-footed shooting level in training once shocked Martin O'Neill—the whole world knew that his left foot was not good. Martin O'Neill also knew this, so he never expected that Chen Hero would improve his left-foot level to above-average in just one season.

Then in every training session, he could see Chen Hero using his left foot to blast in that kind of world-class goal.

Then he secretly rejoiced in his heart that he had chosen to accept Liverpool's invitation, to be in the same team with such a pervert, and not have to worry about how to contain him, it was really too happy...

Martin O'Neill was stunned and surprised because Chen Hero suddenly proposed to do so in this game.

He couldn't figure out why.

"Why, Hero? Your right foot is now the best scoring weapon, but you don't use your right foot... I can't figure it out."

Chen Hero said to Martin O'Neill: "They are too familiar with me, boss. They know every habit I have when I play football, which makes me very uncomfortable. We must use something they are not familiar with to deal with them... And the left foot is something they are absolutely not familiar with."

As soon as he said this, Martin O'Neill reacted.

Yes, Napoli knows Chen Hero too well... This is indeed a problem.

But he himself didn't expect to use his left foot to deal with Napoli...

But there is one problem.

"Our tactics are all aimed at your right foot..."

Chen Hero shook his head: "That's where I hope you can help, boss, you can tell everyone and adjust the tactics a little bit. I don't think there is a need for major adjustments, just a temporary fix. If we want to completely adjust, we can do it ourselves at Melwood after we go back, now we just need to win this game. No need for comprehensive adjustments, just make some fine-tuning, such as letting everyone try to pass the ball to my left foot, that's it!"

O'Neill thought for a while and felt that this was indeed feasible, so he nodded: "Okay."

So during the halftime break, Liverpool players received the latest order to try to pass the ball to Chen Hero's left foot in the game.

Everyone had no objection to this. In fact, some smart people had already seen it in the first half.

Why did Chen Hero keep trying to shoot with his left foot?

They were all very clear about Chen Hero's left-foot ability, and had seen it countless times in training. From the initial surprise to the later normality, everyone got used to it.

Now that we need to adjust, then adjust. Anyway, it's not a big deal, just try to pass the ball to his left foot.

Maybe they won't be used to it at first, but they believe they can adjust quickly. Isn't it just changing the direction of the pass? What's so difficult about that!

In Napoli's locker room, no one was happy with their first-half performance.

Although they successfully prevented Liverpool from scoring in the first half.

This is a remarkable achievement. You should know that in today's football world, you can count on one hand the number of teams that can avoid conceding a goal to Liverpool in the first half.

During the halftime break, those TV station guests and commentators may have praised Napoli to the skies.

But the Napoli players themselves knew very well that their failure to concede a goal in the first half did not mean how great they were, but because Chen Hero's performance was abnormal.

With their understanding of Chen Hero, it was absolutely impossible for him to hold back because he was facing his old club. His abnormal performance could only mean that something more dangerous was hidden behind it.

This was what Napoli players, especially coach Mazzarri, were most worried about.

The reason why Chen Hero didn't perform well was because he gave up his right foot and insisted on shooting with his left foot. This made Mazzarri very concerned.

It is generally accepted that Chen Hero's left foot is not as good as his right foot, and even Chen Hero himself would not deny it. But why does he insist on using his left foot instead of his right foot in such an important game?

Mazzarri's tactics were based on Napoli's familiarity with Chen Hero, and he made targeted arrangements. Chen Hero's header is good, so keep him away from the penalty area. Chen Hero's right foot is good, so focus on defending his right foot.

These targeted deployments allowed Napoli to not concede a goal in the first half.

But he couldn't be happy.

Chen Hero insists on using his left foot... Could it be because...

A thought suddenly flashed through Mazzarri's mind.

Then he was frightened by himself.

He already understood what Chen Hero was going to do.

But what frightened him was not this, but something else.

He was thinking, if Chen Hero's left foot becomes as good as his right foot... then in today's football world, can anyone stop him?

As it is now, long-range shots with his right foot, shots in front of the goal, header shots, free kicks, good physical condition... these already make him very difficult to defend. If his left foot also catches up, wouldn't he be... invincible?

The thought of this possibility frightened Mazzarri...

So much so that he didn't even know how to defend Chen Hero's left foot.

The reason why Napoli was successful in the first half was all because these players were too familiar with Chen Hero.

But they are really not familiar with Chen Hero's left foot!

The second half of the game restarted, and everyone was discussing Chen Hero's performance in the first half during the halftime break.

The final conclusion was that Chen Hero was facing his old club again, had many friends, and couldn't bear it. The old feelings affected his mood and state. Especially the cheers of the Napoli fans before the game made Chen Hero unable to bear to strike hard... Now it seems that the warmth before the game actually hides Napoli's killing intent. Napoli really brought their home advantage into full play, making people sigh at Mazzarri's deep scheming...

Actually, what should be sighed at is the deep scheming of these media people... and their rich ability to associate... They managed to connect these things together and turn it into an out-and-out conspiracy.

But the slap in the face always comes unexpectedly quickly.

In the second half, Chen Hero suddenly changed his inexplicable poor performance in the first half and regained his glory!

And Liverpool's offense also became much sharper.

The specific reason that made Napoli players feel uncomfortable on the field was... Chen Hero suddenly used his left foot to control the ball!

Whether it's passing, receiving, or adjusting the shot, it's all with his left foot!

Napoli's tactics before the game were aimed at Chen Hero's right foot. Because Napoli players were familiar with Chen Hero, it was easy to defend. But this familiarity formed a physical instinct that backfired on them in the second half.

Because they began to be at a loss for Chen Hero's way of playing football...

Finally, in the sixty-sixth minute, Chen Hero used a left-footed shot to score the first goal for Liverpool.

Breaking the deadlock of the game.

At this moment, the Napoli players actually knew in their hearts that they could not beat Liverpool.

But not being able to win does not mean giving up. They had agreed before the game to do their best and let Chen Hero see their progress and strength after he left!

※※※

After Chen Hero scored, he didn't celebrate much. After all, this was against his former club, the former club that gave him the deepest impression. It's better not to celebrate if he can avoid it.

If it were a few years ago, maybe Chen Hero wouldn't care about that.

Young and frivolous.

He even dared to make a slap-in-the-face celebration to his own team's fans, what else couldn't he do?

But he didn't now. After he scored, he simply raised his arm and waved it.

Very simple, because he has matured.

However, his low profile did not win him applause and cheers from the Napoli fans. Because it's very simple, before the end of the game, he is still Napoli's enemy.

※※※

Chen Hero's goal was scored with his left foot, which did not attract people's attention.

Although many people knew that he shot with his left foot, it is not uncommon to score goals with the left foot.

Many right-footed players who are not good at using their left foot have had the experience of scoring goals with their left foot in the game. So it's not worth making a fuss about.

It wasn't until Chen Hero scored another goal eight minutes later, and it was still a left-footed goal, that they realized that something seemed wrong...

The difficulty of this goal is quite high, because Chen Hero used a standard spoon lob shot with his left foot!

The football was rubbed out of an arc by his left foot, bypassing the attacking goalkeeper Rosati and flying straight to the goal behind him.

The football flew very high, and many people thought that even if the ball could bypass Rosati, it might not fall within the range of the goal frame. Chen Hero's choice to use a left-footed lob shot was not a good idea, because the lob shot requires more precision in controlling the ball, and the left foot is not Chen Hero's strong foot...

But the football flew into the goal, grazing the crossbar.

"2:0!! Hero scored twice! He defeated Napoli alone! He in the second half is completely different from him in the first half!"

"Spoon! Spoon! It's a spoon! The control of the football is really precise! Hero's goal is too imaginative and too bold! The lob shot on the edge of the penalty area flew into the goal very accurately, just like a work of art!"

When the football finally flew into the goal, many people were stunned.

These people thought that Chen Hero's two goals were scored with his left foot, what does this mean?

They couldn't be clearer in their hearts.
