Chapter 1 The Left Foot

The first half had been going on for twenty-five minutes, and the score was still 0:0, unchanged.

According to the statistics, Newcastle United had a comprehensive advantage. Whether it was possession, number of passes, or number of shots, they were ahead.

If you only looked at these numbers, Liverpool Reserves looked like they were just passively taking a beating, heads in their hands, squatting down.

But for the fans watching the game, no one thought so.

Had anyone ever seen a "passive sufferer" wielding a dagger that made his opponent quite fearful?

That was Liverpool Reserves, and the dagger in their hands was naturally Chen Hero.

Chen Hero didn't have many chances to attack, but every time he did, he made Newcastle United's fans' hearts beat fast for a long time. After all, Chen Hero's reputation was there.

Everyone knew how terrifying Chen Hero was.

But the most surprising thing about this game was not the stalemate score and situation.

But... in the past twenty-odd minutes, Chen Hero had continued to insist on using his left foot!

At first, everyone thought it was inertia—Chen Hero had used his left foot to finish the last two games, perhaps he was used to it and hadn't changed back yet. They thought that as the game progressed, Chen Hero would soon find that his left foot didn't work well with this team, and then he would change back.

Who would have thought that twenty-odd minutes had passed, and Chen Hero was still insisting on using his left foot. Even if he clearly received the ball with his right foot, he had to adjust it to his left foot.

And looking at Liverpool Reserves, they didn't seem to have any trouble cooperating with Chen Hero's left foot!

On the contrary, it was a feeling that the audience and commentators were very familiar with—the feeling of the Liverpool first team!

At this time, everyone was surprised to find that Liverpool Reserves, like the first team, had also adjusted their tactical focus!

They were actually playing the game according to Chen Hero's left foot!

Newcastle United were also surprised to discover this.

The reason it took them more than twenty minutes to discover was because Liverpool didn't have many chances to attack. In those twenty-odd minutes, there were only five attacking opportunities, and Chen Hero's five shots were all with his left foot. That's when Newcastle United realized that something was wrong.

When they realized something was wrong, they suddenly panicked.

Because this was beyond their expectations.

Originally, they thought they were well prepared, but they didn't expect that there was still a situation they hadn't anticipated.

Naturally, they were not prepared for this situation.

In such an important game, the appearance of a situation they were not prepared for made the Newcastle United players a little flustered.

Because they were well aware of Chen Hero's left foot ability.

Chen Hero had already proved in two games that his left foot was not just talk, but that he really had the ability.

So how to deal with Chen Hero's left foot?

From Newcastle United's coach Alan Pardew to the ordinary players, no one knew how to deal with Chen Hero's left foot.

This panic was quickly reflected.

Newcastle United's previous patience was gone, and they began to rush to score.

Because this discovery made them very worried about their defense.

What if Chen Hero scored first?

Left foot... we have no experience in dealing with it, what should we do?

The Newcastle United players, who had been confident before, suddenly became unconfident at this time. The things that the coach had repeatedly told them before were also thrown to the back of their minds.

They began to lose patience with repeated passes in front of the goal. Instead, they shot directly whenever they had the opportunity, hoping to break through Liverpool Reserves' defense.

But this method could not break through Liverpool's defense. Or rather, if Liverpool Reserves' defense could be penetrated in this way, then all their efforts and preparation before the game would be a joke.

Alan Pardew stood up from the bench and walked to the sidelines.

From the performance of the Newcastle United players, he smelled a dangerous scent.

So he walked to the sidelines, wanting to signal everyone to calm down.

In fact, he was very surprised that Chen Hero suddenly decided to use his left foot in this game. He himself didn't expect it, let alone his players.

But this was not the reason for the team's collapse.

Just a left foot scared them like this. He didn't think Chen Hero had the ability, nor was he willing to believe that his team was so不堪.

He walked to the sidelines, and the stands of Wembley Stadium were making huge noises. He planned to wait for the noise to pass before giving the latest instructions to the field. Now he estimated that the players on the field wouldn't be able to hear anything he shouted.

But Liverpool didn't give him the opportunity to do so.

※※※

Newcastle United ended their attack with another ridiculous long shot.

But they didn't retreat to their own half, but stayed near the center line, waiting to launch another attack.

That's how it was before. Liverpool Reserves' long passes couldn't always be passed to Chen Hero's side. After all, there was only Chen Hero in the frontcourt.

As long as they could intercept Liverpool Reserves' long pass, they could launch another attack.

In order to save time, everyone didn't retreat, so that they could form a continuous offensive.

Some people also felt that if they retreated, they would have no chance to participate in the attack. Maybe they could make a contribution? It would be a loss for themselves and the team if they missed this opportunity because they retreated!

So most of the Newcastle United players were concentrated in front of the center line, waiting for another chance to attack.

But this time, Liverpool Reserves' goalkeeper Stella accurately found Chen Hero with a long pass.

Chen Hero didn't jump up to compete for the top, but leaned against Simpson of Newcastle United with his body, then headed the ball behind Simpson.

Immediately afterwards, he immediately turned around, threw off Simpson, and chased after the ball!

Because Simpson was Newcastle United's last line of defense, so if he was broken through, it meant that there was a large area of ​​space in front of Chen Hero!

Before he met Newcastle United's goalkeeper Krul, he would not encounter any Newcastle United players again!

The noise in the stands suddenly increased. Liverpool fans cheered loudly for Chen Hero. And Newcastle United's fans made crazy boos to interfere with Chen Hero. They hoped to see Chen Hero stumble when he caught up with the ball, because his steps were not adjusted properly, and he didn't control the ball well the first time, and it would take more effort to adjust, so that it would give Newcastle United's players time to return to defense... or simply take a ball car, fall to the ground, and hand the ball back to Newcastle United's players.

Chen Hero turned a deaf ear to this, he chased after the ball, and then dribbled forward.

His first step of dribbling made the Newcastle United fans who hoped Chen Hero would be unlucky feel cold.

It was a standard and perfect dribble, the distance of the dribble was very suitable, not too close to him, so that he could not move his legs, nor too far away from him, so that he lost control of the ball.

This distance allowed him to increase his speed, and he could touch the ball again after two steps, the rhythm was just right.

Seeing his perfect touch and dribbling, the hearts of many Newcastle United fans sank to the bottom.

To let Chen Hero bring the ball up and face his goalkeeper directly. What would be the consequences, everyone knew!

※※※

"Hero! He got the ball again! Beautiful header flick to get rid of! He picked up the speed... now no one can stop him!!"

In the commentator's loud roar, Chen Hero began to accelerate, and he quickly dribbled into the penalty area.

Behind him were the Newcastle United players who were rushing back in panic.

Alan Pardew stood in the command area, anxiously watching this scene, constantly cursing "f" words in his mouth.

To let Chen Hero face the goalkeeper Krul so easily... he didn't believe that his goalkeeper could save this ball, unless Chen Hero himself shot wide!

None of the Liverpool Reserves players rushed up to meet their captain, at this time they only needed to watch from behind.

Chen Hero would never let them down!

Because he was the soul of this team!

※※※

Soon, Chen Hero rushed to the edge of the penalty area, and at the same time, Krul also rushed over.

The two will meet in the penalty area.

Facing Krul's interception, Chen Hero appeared extremely calm, he raised his left foot, the outside of his foot was on the inside of the ball, making a move to push the ball to the left.

Krul didn't immediately fall to the ground, but turned to that side.

But at this moment, Chen Hero's left foot went around the ball, but this was not a bicycle move...

Because the left foot followed closely and buckled back!

The ball was buckled to his right.

Exactly the opposite of the direction Krul was going!

The two brushed past each other...

After Hero used his left foot to buckle the ball past Krul, he didn't immediately shoot with his right foot, but used his right foot to push the ball forward again.

This completely got rid of Krul.

And after the Dutch goalkeeper discovered that Chen Hero had buckled the ball past the left side of his body, he lost all his balance when he tried to turn around and chase... and then fell face up to the sky.

He was no longer able to stop Chen Hero.

Behind him was a huge empty goal, as long as Chen Hero didn't cramp his leg, he could easily kick the ball in.

Those Newcastle United players who were rushing back were already tearing their eyes, they stretched out their hands, and grabbed uselessly in the air, as if this could pull Chen Hero and stop him from moving forward.

But these were destined to be futile!

Some people also hoped that Chen Hero would kick the ball into the air when facing the empty goal—such things were common in football matches.

But if Chen Hero was such a person, could he still score more than a hundred goals in a season?!

Facing the empty goal, Chen Hero still chose his way, he swung his left leg round and then kicked a powerful shot!

Choosing this method at such a close distance, Chen Hero wanted to tell everyone.

Liverpool, even the reserves, are invincible!!

Swish!

It was the sound of the ball hitting the net.

"Goal... goal!!!"
