Chapter 1516 What Makes You Think You Can Win? (First Update)

Aguero never imagined that his ambitious FA Cup match would slip away after only five minutes, with the initiative no longer in their hands.

In training, he had demanded that the reserve team players cooperate with him to the best of their ability.

But in the match, everything went haywire.

He couldn't find the reserve team players, and the reserve team players couldn't find him.

They had completely lost contact.

Manchester City was pinned in their own half. He could see the gaps behind Liverpool's reserve defense. He believed that as long as he appeared there, and the reserve team players sent the ball over, he would definitely be able to score.

But the problem was that the reserve team players couldn't get the ball there, and he couldn't get there himself.

Liverpool's attacks came wave after wave, each more fierce than the last. The Manchester City reserve team players could only huddle in their own thirty-meter zone, squatting down with their hands over their heads, trying not to get hit in the face, unable to do anything else.

Aguero watched his reserve team players' embarrassment from the front, and he felt his hands and feet turn cold—this was not the scene he had longed for at all!

In his imagination, under his leadership, the Manchester City reserve team would perform at an extremely high level. Amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the home fans, they would suppress Liverpool in their own penalty area, unable to move. Although scoring goals would be difficult, how could he show his level if it wasn't?

So the final victory would definitely belong to him and Manchester City.

Who would have thought that the current situation would be completely reversed?

He could hardly believe his eyes.

But what he couldn't believe even more was yet to come!

He thought that if the opponent defended stubbornly, his goal would be a little difficult, and the goal might come a little later, but that would show his ability.

But for Chen Hero, this was a very boring idea.

※※※

In the sixth minute of the match, Liverpool won a corner kick.

Chen Hero lay in ambush at the near post, and the ball was sent to the near post.

Then he leaped high, overpowering the Manchester City reserve defenders, and flicked a header!

The ball flew into the goal, grazing the near post...

He had never been afraid of the famous Manchester City first-team center backs. Now, dealing with these Manchester City reserve defenders, he felt like he was bullying children.

But I'm bullying you guys!

Who told you to dare to play against us with that kind of mentality?

If I don't teach you a hard lesson, you'll think this path is viable!

I must beat you black and blue, so that you can give up the last bit of luck!

After scoring, Chen Hero didn't run around celebrating with open arms. Instead, he stared at the surrounding Manchester City reserve players with eyes as cold as death.

Under his gaze, the Manchester City players lowered their heads one by one, avoiding his sharp edge.

They were just reserve team players, when had they ever seen such a scene... This was the first time they had played against Chen Hero!

Naturally, they didn't have the courage and insight to look Chen Hero in the eye.

But their approach, in the eyes of others, was a typical sign of fear.

This was very demoralizing!

※※※

"Liverpool scores! They have taken the lead again as usual!"

"Hero has scored his sixth goal in this season's FA Cup! It is also his one hundred and second goal of the season! Manchester City actually thought that using a reserve team plus an Aguero could stop Chen Hero, it's ridiculous!"

"Chen Hero has proved with his actions that although he has always been imitated, he has never been surpassed!"

Aguero clenched his fists and looked towards his own goal. He couldn't help with corner kick defense, so he didn't even go into the penalty area. He didn't even retreat, he just waited at the center line, full of longing.

Hoping that the reserve team kids would kick the ball over with a long pass, and then he would take the ball and charge straight into the enemy's heart!

To score a beautiful counter-attack goal!

However, he didn't wait for such an opportunity. Instead, he witnessed the entire process of Chen Hero's goal.

Manchester City retreated across the board, and Chen Hero scored in just six minutes...

He couldn't accept this fact.

Something must be wrong...

But what was wrong?

He didn't know.

He just felt that fate shouldn't treat him like this...

※※※

After the game restarted, Aguero wanted to launch a frantic counterattack and fight against fate.

Anyway, the right to kick off was on Manchester City's side.

He kicked the ball to his partner next to him, and then told him to pass the ball back to him.

The other party obediently did so.

But Aguero didn't have time to enjoy such joy, and dribbled the ball into the frontcourt.

The reserve team kids were unreliable, only he could be relied on.

Now that the ball was at his feet, where on the field couldn't he go?

In his opinion, if he was facing the Liverpool reserve team, this approach might not work, but he was now facing the Liverpool reserve team, the reserve team!

This was a rare opportunity!

He didn't think that the reserve team rookies could stop him from moving forward.

Aguero was quite confident in his dribbling skills.

His confidence only lasted for a dozen seconds.

After easily dribbling past two reserve team attacking players, he ran into an iron wall.

He was stopped by the Liverpool reserve team's defense.

In fact, passing the ball would not have been a bad choice either. But he didn't trust his teammates, he trusted himself more.

So he finally chose to break through forcibly.

Then he was reasonably dispossessed by three reserve team defensive players.

The ball was lost, and he fell over, but the whistle didn't blow.

No foul!

Aguero couldn't believe his ears. He suddenly turned over, sat on the ground, and roared at the referee: "That's a foul, can't you see?!"

The referee ignored him.

Aguero simply fell back to the ground, covered his knees, as if he was very injured.

But soon the people around him walked away.

The three Liverpool reserve team players who had dispossessed him didn't even look at him, they directly sent the ball to the frontcourt.

The ball quickly fell to Chen Hero's feet.

Chen Hero didn't take the opportunity to attack.

He kicked the ball directly out of bounds, and it was a long pass of thirty meters, sending the ball out of the baseline.

Against a team like Manchester City, he was too lazy to take advantage of others' misfortunes now.

He could easily crush such opponents, so he naturally had to pay attention to style.

However, Chen Hero's sporting gesture did not win him the approval of the Manchester City fans, but was still met with boos.

The hatred between Chen Hero and the Manchester City fans, it is estimated that it will not be resolved in this lifetime.

※※※

After Chen Hero kicked the ball out, the referee ran back again, asking about Aguero's "injury"—in fact, he knew that Aguero was pretending. He trusted his own eyes, the Liverpool reserve team players had not fouled, Aguero had lost his balance and fell to the ground.

So he hadn't blown the whistle for a Liverpool foul from the beginning. Now that the other party had sportsmanship and kicked the ball out, he couldn't turn a blind eye.

He ran back to ask Aguero if he needed a stretcher.

Aguero shook his head and said no, slowly got up from the ground, but his anger had not subsided, and he was still angrily questioning the referee why he didn't blow the whistle just now.

The referee was also very upset—how dare you challenge my authority?

"Alright, Aguero. You and I both know what happened just now. If you continue to chatter, I'll give you a yellow card, what do you think?"

As soon as these words came out, Aguero shut up.

You can't twist your arm against your thigh...

But he was very upset in his heart, very upset.

He couldn't vent his anger on the referee, he could only blame Liverpool for this.

It's just that he never had a chance to take revenge again.

Because he had wasted Manchester City's only chance in this game...

According to the rules, since Chen Hero took the initiative to kick the ball out before, the Manchester City players had to return the ball to the other party when kicking off.

Of course, they couldn't directly pass the ball to Liverpool players, but instead kicked the ball with a long pass to Liverpool's backcourt, all the way to the front of Liverpool's penalty area, allowing goalkeeper Stella to get it.

Now, possession was back in Liverpool's hands again.

Manchester City never wanted to get the chance they had before.

Leading by only one goal was not enough to satisfy the Liverpool reserve team. They had vowed to teach this Manchester City team, which looked down on their efforts, a hard lesson.

In the following game, Liverpool continued to dominate as visitors, continuing to bombard the goal.

Finally, in the thirtieth minute, they broke through Manchester City's goal again.

This time it was not Chen Hero who scored, but Carlton Cole. After Chen Hero attracted all of Manchester City's defensive attention, Carlton Cole did not pass the ball to him, but broke through himself from that gap!

His choice was unexpected by the Manchester City reserve team players, allowing him to successfully cut into the penalty area and then shoot and score!

In this way, Liverpool got two goals.

Leading by two goals away from home, Liverpool had basically stepped into Wembley with one foot.

And Aguero's face was even more livid.

The revenge and proving battle that filled him with longing was actually like this!

※※※

Seeing the Liverpool reserve team players celebrating their goals amidst the overwhelming boos at the Etihad Stadium, while the Manchester City reserve team players all had expressions of horror and confusion on their faces.

A commentator sighed: "At this point in the game, it can be declared over. There is absolutely no way that this Manchester City team will be able to reverse the score in the second half. They are destined to be abandoned, the players are demoralized, their coordination is not good enough, and their strength is not as good as the Liverpool reserve team. Even their leader, Aguero, is not as good as Chen Hero... To put it bluntly, what does such a team have to compete with Liverpool for a ticket to Wembley Stadium?"
