Chapter 1 The Community Shield

The English Community Shield sounds fancy, but it's just the Super Cup in other countries.

It’s a battle of king of kings between the Premier League champions and the FA Cup champions before the league season begins.

It is held annually at Wembley Stadium.

However, last season Liverpool won the quadruple, sweeping the domestic three titles, incorporating the Premier League, FA Cup, and League Cup honors.

According to the rules of the Community Shield, if the Premier League champion and the FA Cup champion are the same team, then the Premier League runner-up team will replace them, and the match will be between the champion and runner-up of the Premier League.

The Community Shield is a warm-up match for the league. After this match, the new season's league will kick off immediately.

This season's Community Shield match is between last season's league champion Liverpool and league runner-up Chelsea.

This match is highly anticipated.

However, the media did not use words like "revenge" to describe the match.

Although Chelsea lost to Liverpool last season, allowing Liverpool to win the title in advance, this match should be considered Chelsea's revenge battle.

But even Chelsea did not put forward this concept, and no other media joined in the fun.

The reason is very simple: it's not that Chelsea doesn't want revenge, but that Liverpool is too strong now...

They are powerless even if they want revenge. If they release harsh words before the match, saying they want revenge, they may end up humiliating themselves and becoming a laughing stock.

So Chelsea is very low-key this time.

In fact, there is another very important reason, but everyone has overlooked it.

That is the FA Cup final last season, Chelsea played against Liverpool. At that time, Liverpool was still a reserve team. During the halftime break, Chelsea players said that there was nothing to fear from Liverpool's reserve team.

But the final result hurt them a lot.

Liverpool's reserve team stubbornly withstood their offensive, and then Chen Hero scored twice, causing them to miss the FA Cup title.

Such a result was something that all Chelsea players did not expect.

After that match, Chelsea players no longer dared to underestimate Liverpool's reserve team.

Since they don't dare to underestimate Liverpool's reserve team, they don't underestimate Liverpool's first team even more.

Before the match, some media joked that the two sides in this Community Shield should be Liverpool's first team and Liverpool's reserve team, because it is obvious that these are two completely different teams. The only question is which team Chen Hero should play for... Why not represent the first team in the first half and the reserve team in the second half...

Don't say it, this proposal has a lot of market among Liverpool fans.

But this is just a joke, it is impossible to come true, the English Football Association has not gone crazy to that point.

For the Community Shield, Martin O'Neill did not send out the full main force to deal with Chelsea, and Chelsea was the same.

In any case, the Community Shield is just a more formal preseason warm-up match.

It is not worth it to go all out in this match. The team is a little tired after the Asian tour and needs rest.

What's more, Liverpool's strength is very strong, whether it is the main force or the substitute, it is the same without the full main force.

As long as Chen Hero is there.

"Friends of the audience, welcome to watch the 2015-2016 season's English Community Shield match... The two participating sides are last season's league champion Liverpool and league runner-up Chelsea... With the referee's whistle, the match begins!... Now let me introduce to you the starting list of both sides... Liverpool's number twenty-five goalkeeper Reina..."

The commentator was buried in reading the starting list on the paper.

But suddenly he heard huge cheers from the surrounding stands.

The experienced him keenly realized that something must have happened on the field. He quickly raised his head and saw Liverpool's army pressing down on the city.

Götze got the ball in front of the penalty area, pretending to pass it to the middle, but suddenly twisted his body and passed the ball to James Rodriguez on the left wing.

This is Rodriguez's first start in an official match - the Asian tour does not count as an official match - he seems very excited. After getting the ball, he used his personal skills to shake off the space, and then without hesitation, he directly crossed!

The cheers suddenly increased from this time.

The commentator raised his head and happened to see Rodriguez's cross.

He immediately realized why the fans were cheering so loudly.

Because the football is in the air. And at the same time, in front of the goal, Chen Hero is also in the air!

"Hero! He jumped up!" the commentator quickly shouted.

Gary Cahill also jumped up.

But everyone knows that he jumped up just as a matter of routine, just to make a show.

This will not change the final result in any way.

The only thing that can stop Chen Hero from scoring is luck...

How is Chelsea's luck today?

※※※

Chen Hero jumped in the air, he had a very wonderful feeling. Although he now has many colorful ways to score goals, it can be said that he is a very comprehensive shooter.

But he still likes headers the most.

Because when he jumps in the air, his super air staying ability allows him to have enough time to observe the surroundings. He can see how those opponents are struggling to death, watching them jump up hard, but it is of no use. He can even look at the reactions of the fans in the stands. If the fans of the opposing team are next to him, enjoying the horrified expressions on their faces is also a kind of enjoyment.

When he has seen enough, the football also flies over, and then he uses force to smash the football into the goal.

This weapon has been with him since he became a player. Before he was favored by Aurora, the header existed. This is his natal weapon, his most powerful weapon.

In the air, Chen Hero is invincible!

The football flew over.

He put his hands up and began to twist his waist to accumulate strength, twisting his body in the air like a twist.

Immediately afterwards, all his strength was released... Lion Shakes Head!

Thirty-three-year-old goalkeeper Petr Čech pounced on the football at the same time he headed the ball.

But his movement was still a little slow.

The football hit the upper edge of his palm and then bounced directly into the goal!

※※※

"Goal... Goal!!!"

"Liverpool took the lead in just one minute of the opening! Chelsea's luck is terrible!"

"Who would have thought that this strong dialogue in the Community Shield would open in such a way?"

"Hero! Hero! Hero——!!! He scored the first goal for the team! This is his first goal in an official match this season! Ladies and gentlemen! We can now start counting his goals, so as not to miss the historic moment in a muddle!"

"James Rodriguez's assist, beautiful! When he passed the football into the air, I believe many people will have a feeling - this ball is sure to go in! This is not that we can predict the future, but because the person who is responding to him in the air is Hero!!"

After Chen Hero landed, he looked back at the football in the goal and the helpless goalkeeper Čech, then turned around and ran towards James Rodriguez, who assisted him.

This new teammate has already performed very well in the summer warm-up matches. Everyone can see that he will be able to threaten Gareth Baird's main position. If Bell doesn't work hard...

Although this assist has no technical content, it is also an assist anyway.

Chen Hero rushed up and hugged Rodriguez, and the other teammates also came up to surround them.

James Rodriguez, who was held in his arms, firmly believed that his choice to join Liverpool was the right choice!

I had only heard about it before, but now that I am a teammate with Chen Hero, I understand how powerful this person is!

What he shows in the match is only part of his true strength. And as Chen Hero's teammate, he is fortunate enough to have seen Chen Hero's more perverted ability in training!

He believes that as long as Chen Hero stays in Liverpool, this team is an indestructible steel torrent.

Then he will get the honor he dreams of.

Joining a wealthy family and being able to win honors.

As a professional player, is there anything more wonderful than this?

James Rodriguez's painstakingly planned escape from Porto finally bore fruit - he successfully used Atletico Madrid to escape from Porto, kicked Atletico Madrid away, and then joined the wealthy family he had dreamed of.

Chelsea conceded a goal in the first minute of the opening, and this conceded goal set the tone for the match.

And this match also set a tone for this season.

Liverpool, who are best at playing leading matches, controlled the rhythm of the match after taking the lead, and they seemed to be at ease.

After the baptism of last season, these players seem confident and mature, they have seen various scenes and are not afraid of Chelsea's counterattack.

Perhaps the psychological shadow left by the FA Cup final last season is still there for Chelsea.

Chelsea did not perform well enough. Faced with the score behind, they did not show any fighting spirit.

In the second half, Liverpool scored another goal by Sanchez, securing the victory for the team.

Until the end of the match, Chelsea was unable to score a goal.

Liverpool finally defeated Chelsea with a score of 2:0 and lifted the Community Shield.

This is the second consecutive time they have won this trophy.

Looking at the Liverpool players on the podium, the commentator of Sky TV couldn't help but sigh: "This Liverpool is simply invincible! Last season Hero said that his goal was seven crowns, and we laughed at him for talking nonsense... But now, I suddenly want to believe his 'crazy words'..."
