Chapter 1 After the Hat-Trick

After Chen Hero staged a hat trick against Chelsea, those media outlets that had been confidently claiming the day before that Chen Hero was having problems with his form collectively suffered amnesia. They seemed to have completely forgotten that they had said Chen Hero was not in good shape, and changed their tune to praise Chen Hero's "dominant" performance at Stamford Bridge.

They all shamelessly sang praises for Chen Hero.

Of course, there were even more shameless ones who directly used the previous events as counter-examples.

"...Hero's performance at Stamford Bridge yesterday proved that the media's previous speculation about his form was wrong! He gave those media outlets who criticized him a resounding slap in the face!"

I don't know whose face that slap landed on...

Chen Hero understood the virtues of these media, so he was not surprised by the media's rush to praise him.

That's why he didn't want to explain. Because it's purely a waste of words. The more you say, the more crooked people think. The so-called "explanation is a cover-up" has a deeply rooted impression in these people's minds. They believe that all explanations are cover-ups, all to cover up the truth.

One of the occupational diseases of reporters is that they always think that the truth is hidden in layers of dark幕, and it is impossible to easily show it to people. It must be made public only after their arduous excavation and tracking investigation.

Anything anyone says is untrustworthy and is a cover for the truth. The public has the right to know, so we are endowed with the right to question. We can question anyone at will, but no one can question our every word, even if you seem to make sense, that's not okay.

Because if you don't even believe what we, the "truth hunters," say, who can you trust?

Since you don't believe anything I say, what's the point of saying so much? Wasting saliva is also a waste, and waste is shameful, unless I want to tease you.

It's best to slap you in the face with practical actions.

In this way, after only five rounds of the Premier League, Chen Hero has already scored eleven goals, including two hat tricks and two braces. Someone would actually question such a state, which can be described as insane...

After the away game against Chelsea, the next game was at home against Tottenham Hotspur.

In terms of scheduling, Liverpool has been facing strong enemies one after another during this period. But the actual situation is not the case. Neither the city rivals Everton nor the veteran powerhouse Chelsea have been able to cause too much trouble for Liverpool.

Unlike last season, Liverpool has occupied the top spot in the league since the first round of this season, appearing relaxed and comfortable.

And last season, they were only ranked sixth after the first round of the league because they had too few goal differences, only one. In the second and third rounds, they rose to second place, but they were not at the top. It was not until after four rounds that they took the top spot in the league in January and never came down from that position again.

In the first round of this season, Liverpool defeated the promoted team Sheffield United 5-0 away from home and took the top spot in the league with a huge goal difference, and has maintained it ever since.

According to Liverpool's current state of development, I am afraid they will be in this position for a long time, at least until the Champions League knockout stage begins. Because everyone does not think that teams such as Eindhoven, Monaco, and Galatasaray can cause any trouble for Liverpool in the group stage.

This doesn't even require expert analysis; any fan can see it.

Liverpool is in such good shape now, and the team's number one shooter Chen Hero is in even better shape.

Tottenham Hotspur is no longer the Spurs of Redknapp and Bale. Their strength has declined rapidly.

The fact is also true. Liverpool easily defeated Tottenham 3-1 at their home stadium.

Chen Hero scored a goal in the game, bringing his league goals for the season to twelve.

After the game, the media exclaimed that if Chen Hero continues to develop according to this trend, he may break the single-season goal record he created last season...

After the game, Chen Hero provocatively said to the media reporters who came up to interview him: "Oops, I'm sorry, I only scored one goal. My condition is really too bad, so I'm not in the mood to accept your interviews. Please let me through, let me through... I'm leaving first!"

After speaking, he squeezed out of the crowd and disappeared around the corner.

Leaving a group of reporters looking at each other.

How could they not know why Chen Hero did this? Obviously, this is retaliation for their previous criticism of Chen Hero's poor form.

Everyone looked at each other and found the same wry smiles and helpless expressions on their faces.

It turned out that after they criticized Chen Hero so much, they didn't see any reaction from Chen Hero, and they thought Chen Hero didn't take them to heart.

Who would have thought that he was waiting for them here!

These reporters who are accustomed to conspiracy theories even began to think that scoring only one goal in this game was deliberately done by Chen Hero in order to have an excuse and opportunity to刺一刺 them...

The more this group of conspiracy theorists thought about it, the more they felt this was possible.

However, none of them really made their thoughts public. Because it was too embarrassing to say this...

Did they have to tell the readers that Chen Hero deliberately only scored one goal to slap them in the face?

How could the uncrowned kings bear this?

The small storm about Chen Hero's poor form has passed without causing any waves. Because after seeing Chen Hero's performance, everyone determined that the media was indeed talking nonsense. This matter has lost its value for continued speculation, and the media will naturally not continue to follow up—they don't know how to follow up.

After the game against Tottenham, it was the Champions League group stage.

Liverpool played against Galatasaray at home.

This Turkish powerhouse is no longer Liverpool's opponent. Their threat is not on the field, but off the field.

For example, their home stadium...

Maybe it will cause some trouble for Liverpool at that time.

However... Considering that Liverpool with Chen Hero had defeated Besiktas in Turkey, perhaps this away game will not pose any threat to the Liverpool team, but Liverpool fans should be careful...

Liverpool is very experienced in playing against Turkish teams at their home stadium. They once created the biggest score difference record in the history of the Champions League, defeating Besiktas 8-0 at home.

Later, after Chen Hero joined, Liverpool encountered Besiktas again in the Europa League. In that game, for various reasons, Liverpool灌ed Besiktas nine goals at home, breaking their biggest winning score record in European war history.

That was really a beautiful memory...

But this time, Liverpool did not kill at their home stadium.

This is just an ordinary Champions League group stage game.

Liverpool defeated Galatasaray 2-0 at home.

Chen Hero only scored one goal again.

But no English media said that Chen Hero was in bad shape—they had all learned to be smarter. Chen Hero's retaliation must follow the principle of proximity. Media outlets from all countries are乱嚼舌头, but in the end, all the unlucky ones are their local English media!

As for how the European media evaluate Chen Hero's scoring of only two goals in two Champions League games, they can't control it.

After the Champions League group stage game against Galatasaray, Liverpool rushed to the away game, this time it was the league.

They will challenge Bolton away from home.

There is no suspense in this game either.

Liverpool defeated Bolton 2-0 away from home.

Bolton surrendered directly without even resisting.

After the game, Bolton's coach even said directly: "With Hero, Liverpool is impossible to defeat. Although this is our home stadium, I think it is normal to lose to them..."

As an enemy, saying such a thing is enough to prove the status of Chen Hero and Liverpool now.

When Liverpool was just rising, these Premier League teams, as their enemies, were still eyeing Liverpool, wanting to pull them from the throne they had not yet secured, and then replace them themselves, or stir up the water and profit from it.

So they hate Liverpool as much as they hate Manchester United.

The tree that stands out in the forest will surely be destroyed by the wind.

But what if this big tree covers the sky and the sun, is deeply rooted in the earth, and its canopy touches the sky?

What if the bark of this big tree has become as hard as steel, and its branches are like cliffs, as if it itself is there, has existed for hundreds of thousands of years?

What if even the most powerful force in the world cannot shake it in the slightest?

It's just the wind, how can even the most狂风 destroy this greatness that is integrated with the world?

So the tree that stands out in the forest will surely be destroyed by the wind, but what if the tree stands out in the world?

The current Liverpool has a bit of this meaning. They have used their crazy and strong performance last season to prove that they are strong enough.

This kind of strength is a shock, causing those who harbor evil intentions to feel fear and retreat in the face of difficulties.

Now many teams have already felt the huge gap between them and Liverpool, knowing that confronting Liverpool is just futile. Anyway, they will definitely not win, so why bother?

The most powerful force is to subdue the enemy without fighting.

Liverpool has achieved it.

This can reduce a lot of trouble for them. Because the resistance they encounter in the domestic league will be less, so they can focus more energy on the more difficult Champions League arena. Be prepared for the final defense of the Champions League title.

Just like Barcelona in those years, they were so strong that many teams were already timid before they even played against them, and they had no intention of fighting.

Today's Liverpool is on this road. This is a road to the king. Liverpool will once again become the ruler of European football!
