Chapter 207

The next day, Chen Hero went to Melwood training ground with a determination to die.

At the gate, he saw many Liverpool fans who had arrived early. They held banners supporting Chen Hero and denouncing Manchester City's petty behavior. Of course, there were also many people cursing the reporters opposite—the reporters also arrived very early. The early bird catches the worm; they wanted to scoop up some exclusive news, but so far, they hadn't gotten any exclusive news. Instead, they were scolded bloody by the Liverpool fans who had also gotten up early.

The fans didn't have to worry about cursing the wrong people because the reporters who supported Chen Hero were on their side...

After yesterday's events were fermented by the media, the whole world knew about it. This group of media seemed afraid that Manchester City fans wouldn't know what to do. Their attitude of "sacrificing everything, even an innocent child, for the sake of news gimmicks" disgusted many people.

Now, Liverpool fans were convinced that Manchester City fans would definitely do something like this during the game.

Although Manchester City Football Club issued a statement as soon as possible, saying that the club would never support such behavior and would strictly guard against it, not allowing a single Manchester City fan to run onto the field.

But everyone knew this was just acting.

With Manchester City Football Club's hatred for Chen Hero, it would be good enough if they didn't help Manchester City fans rush into the stadium, let alone expect them to stop them? No way!

Even if they failed to stop them and Manchester City fans successfully broke through and reached Chen Hero, and then that kind of thing happened. Chen Hero would definitely be severely punished, while the price paid by Manchester City Football Club would be very small. First of all, they could push the main responsibility to a small number of fanatical and extreme fans, saying that these fans were not real Manchester City fans. But everyone knew the trickery involved. Secondly, they would receive a symbolic punishment from the English Football Association, at most banning home team fans from entering the stadium for the next home game, and then fining them some money. For Manchester City Football Club, they didn't lack anything except money. Banning fans from watching a game wouldn't pose any threat to Manchester City.

On the other hand, Liverpool would really suffer a great loss because of this.

They could send their lifelong nemesis Chen Hero and Liverpool to hell with very little cost. It was simply too cost-effective!

The conflict of the past eighteen years made Liverpool fans absolutely not believe in the integrity and morals of Manchester City Football Club.

But they couldn't stop this from happening. They could only run over and scold the media, Manchester City Football Club, and Manchester City fans.

This was what made Liverpool fans the most angry.

They could only watch a tragedy unfold before their eyes, but they were powerless.

※※※

At the gate, Chen Hero specially stopped the car, then got out and waved to the Liverpool fans to thank them.

His appearance caused the situation at the scene to get out of control for a while. Fortunately, Liverpool Football Club and the Liverpool Police were well prepared and sent a large number of police officers to the scene to maintain order.

Under their hard work, the crazy Liverpool fans ultimately failed to break through their defenses.

In fact, the fans didn't know what to say. They could only keep chanting Chen Hero's name, using this method to express that they were always with Chen Hero.

Chen Hero looked at these lovely and fanatical fans, showing a smile, and then got back into the car.

He drove into the Melwood training base.

As for the reporters on the other side, he didn't even glance at them.

He didn't bother to pay attention to these shameless media.

If it weren't for their fueling the flames, how could things have developed to this point?

※※※

When Chen Hero arrived at the locker room, he found that all his teammates had arrived.

He thought he had arrived early, but he didn't expect that he was the last one to arrive in the whole team.

He asked in surprise, "Am I late?"

Actually, this was a joke. From the moment he entered the locker room, he felt that the atmosphere was a bit off. He knew what his teammates' eyes meant when they looked at him, and he knew that his teammates were worried about him. But he was the captain, he was the hero. He might be able to show a troubled and weak side in front of his family. But in his team, he would never allow himself to show even the slightest bit of timidity.

No matter how severe the situation was, even if it was the end of the world, he, as the captain, had to always show the toughest side.

He couldn't let his emotions affect the whole team.

So he made a joke, hoping to liven up the atmosphere and at the same time tell his teammates that he hadn't been knocked down.

But no one responded to his joke.

Everyone still looked at him in silence.

Chen Hero spread his hands: "What are you doing?"

Vice-captain Carlton Cole stood up, turned around, faced his teammates, and said loudly, "Remember what you said before?"

All the teammates answered in unison: "Remember!!"

"Good! Now prove it to the boss!"

Chen Hero looked at this group of people shouting loudly, somewhat inexplicably: "What exactly do you want to do?"

Carlton Cole turned around and looked at Chen Hero.

When he was still in the reserve team, this man in front of him was his idol. He had never thought that such an unreachable idol would praise his performance in front of so many reporters after a game. It was from that moment that he officially stepped onto the stage.

If it weren't for this sentence from Chen Hero, he didn't know how much longer he would have to work hard to get ahead. Maybe he would never get ahead in his life, like other reserve team teammates at the time, leaving Liverpool in disappointment.

Chen Hero had promoted him, and he would never forget this kindness.

Throughout his career, this man had been helping him, treating him like his own brother.

Carlton Cole felt that the boss had done so much for him, but he hadn't done anything for the boss, which made him feel very guilty.

But today, there was such an opportunity.

"Boss, you've done so much for us, now please allow us to do something for you!"

He said.

Chen Hero was confused: "You've done a lot for me too..."

He was referring to things on the football field. Without these people passing the ball to him, running and pulling the opponent's defense, without these people desperately defending in the back, what use would he be alone? Football, after all, was still a team sport.

Cole continued: "Don't worry, boss. We won't let those scum get close to you!"

Chen Hero finally understood what the other party meant, he pointed to everyone in surprise: "You..."

Everyone stood up one after another.

Cole said: "We discussed it, if we want to prevent this from happening, we can only not let those bastards get close to you. Since those security guards at Manchester City's home stadium may not do anything, then we will be your security guards!"

"Yes, the vice-captain is right, boss. We will be your security guards!"

"We will definitely not let you be approached by those damned bastards!"

"The boss can't hit those bastards, but I can! Even if I'm banned for nine months, it won't be a loss for the team. So let me do this dangerous thing!"

Faced with these enthusiastic teammates, Chen Hero really wanted to say "thank you."

But the words came to his mouth and became "nonsense."

But the smile in the corner of his eyes couldn't be concealed.

When everyone saw Chen Hero like this, they knew that the boss agreed with them.

"There's no way, boss. We don't want you to be wronged, but we don't want to lose another league title, so we can only do this." Carlton Cole said with a hippie smile.

The atmosphere in the locker room became relaxed.

The biggest thing was resolved, and everyone's mood improved.

※※※

Originally, Gerrard thought that after encountering this incident, the morale of his team would definitely plummet. He thought about it all night yesterday and didn't sleep well. On the one hand, he was helping Chen Hero think of ways to see if it was possible for Chen Hero to escape this disaster. On the other hand, he was still considering how to re-inspire the team's morale in the current situation.

Unexpectedly, when he came to Melwood and started a day of training, he found that the team's morale was surprisingly good.

It was as if they didn't know what happened last night at all.

But how was that possible?

Something must have happened.

As the coach, Gerrard was embarrassed to directly ask this question in front of everyone.

He could only keep this curiosity in his heart until the end of training.

Then he stopped Chen Hero.

First of all, he naturally comforted Chen Hero, telling him not to be affected by this incident, and that the club would definitely stand behind him.

But Chen Hero's reaction surprised him.

Chen Hero spread his hands: "Stephen, it's been resolved."

"Resolved? What's been resolved?"

"What you're worried about, what I'm worried about, has been resolved by them." Chen Hero pointed to the teammates who were walking towards the locker room.

Gerrard knew what Chen Hero was referring to.

But how did this happen?

How did those guys do it?

So Chen Hero told Gerrard about what happened in the locker room this morning.

"That's it, they decided to be my bodyguards, not letting a single Manchester City fan get close to me."

After listening to Chen Hero's story, Gerrard opened his mouth wide, his face full of disbelief.

Chen Hero added: "But to be honest, Stephen, it doesn't feel good to be protected by a group of people, surrounded in the center, only being able to watch my teammates take risks."

Gerrard suddenly woke up. The players' idea was very good, but listening to Chen Hero, he didn't seem to want to accept his teammates' protection? That was quite in line with his character.

He was Chen Hero, after all, he had always been charging forward, when had he ever shrunk behind his teammates?

But Chen Hero didn't say the words that Gerrard was worried about.

He clenched his fists and said: "So I'm going to make the damn Manchester City pay an extremely heavy price!"

Gerrard felt the killing intent emanating from Chen Hero, and he couldn't help but shudder.

But he wasn't worried about Chen Hero's state, nor was he worried about this game anymore.

He knew that if Manchester City couldn't get Chen Hero down, then they were doomed, and they would die miserably!
