Chapter 800 A Bitter Fight

p.s., the extra chapter for the 800th monthly ticket is here!

The battle for monthly tickets this month is also a war. Come on, let us fight them to the bitter end!

※※※

The night that the English television media began hyping up Chen Hero's alleged racial discrimination against Richards, Chen Hero was in a training instance, struggling with free kicks and arguing with Maradona, so he was completely unaware of it.

The next day, he didn't have the habit of reading newspapers, so he naturally didn't know that the newspapers were crazily hyping up this matter.

So he was like the only "Truman" in the world who was kept in the dark.

It wasn't until he arrived at Melwood that he saw some clues from the strange looks in his teammates' eyes.

Before, everyone looked at him like a hero, but now some people looked at him with a somewhat enigmatic expression.

This was very strange. Didn't they sleep well yesterday? Why were their eyes full of sleep crust?

Then Skrtel found Chen Hero with a "something bad has happened" expression: "Hero! What did you say to Richards during the game?"

"What did I say?"

"What you said after you knocked him to the ground and then got up and pounced on him!"

Chen Hero thought for a moment: "I just told him not to think that no one could deal with him, that this was his retribution... What's wrong?"

"Didn't you say anything else?" Skrtel asked anxiously.

The other teammates were also attracted by their conversation and all gathered around.

Chen Hero looked at his teammates gathering around with surprise. He suddenly felt like he was playing *Resident Evil*. The people around him with their confused eyes were not his teammates, but had all turned into zombies...

"Uh, what's wrong?" He spread his hands, looking puzzled.

"Richards said you racially discriminated against him!" Skrtel said.

"Hahaha! That's right, I cursed him... Wait?" Chen Hero laughed triumphantly the previous second, but the next second he realized something was wrong. "Racially discriminated against him? Am I hearing things?"

Skrtel nodded vigorously, as if a lighter force would not be enough to show the seriousness of the matter...

"Damn it!" Chen Hero finally reacted, "I racially discriminated against him? Am I crazy? I'm just unhappy with him personally, not with his race! Yes, I cursed a few swear words, and I also called him a bastard, but I didn't call him... What did he say I called him?" He asked Skrtel.

"Nigger," Skrtel replied.

"That..." Chen Hero really wanted to blurt out "nigger," but when he thought that there were black players in Liverpool, he finally managed to change it to: "...son of a bitch! I didn't call him a 'nigger' at all!"

Skrtel patted him on the shoulder: "I also believe you didn't curse, Hero. But this matter is very serious now, you must prove your innocence. You must know that in England, racial discrimination is a serious crime, and will be subject to discrimination and criticism from the whole society..."

Chen Hero laughed: "I really don't think it's that noble here. Doesn't racial discrimination happen from time to time?"

Skrtel looked a little embarrassed: "Those are all done by ignorant football hooligans, most people are still quite friendly... And now the most important thing is the attitude of the media and the Football Association, the media are unanimously against racial discrimination, not to mention the FA... So you must prove your innocence, Hero, otherwise you may face a very severe ban!"

"No way?" Chen Hero was a little dumbfounded. "They accuse me, so they have to come up with evidence!"

"If Richards testifies in court that you racially discriminated against him, then you did..." Skrtel was also speechless about this situation.

The captain, Gerrard, suddenly opened his mouth and said: "Obviously, Richards is lying, it must be your previous refusal to apologize that angered him, Hero."

"Damn it!" Hero spat. "What I said was the truth, he injured Luis, why shouldn't he apologize?"

Chen Hero was right, everyone admitted, but who would have thought that Richards would be so shameless... even committing perjury.

"In short, this matter is difficult to handle," Gerrard also frowned. "I also believe that you wouldn't say such excessive things, Hero. But the problem is that the media and the FA may not believe it."

"Yes, Hero, you must come up with sufficiently strong evidence to prove that you didn't say this, otherwise..." Kuyt also spoke.

"Damn it!" Chen Hero frowned. He also knew how strong the world football community's crackdown on racial discrimination was. If he was really labeled with the "racial discrimination" tag, the situation would indeed be very unfavorable to him...

"Where the hell am I going to find evidence..." He spread his hands in annoyance, "The scene was so noisy, who could hear what I said? Damn it!" He cursed repeatedly because he was really angry.

There was an evil fire in his heart that he simply couldn't suppress. If the people around him at this time were not his teammates, but a group of drunken punks, he wouldn't mind having a group fight with those people at all. Otherwise, it would not be enough to vent the anger in his heart.

He never expected that Richards could be so shameless. In order to attack him, he did not hesitate to fabricate rumors and slander him as a racist! He himself is a black man, doesn't he know how heavy this hat is!

Dalglish also learned about Chen Hero being deeply involved in the racial discrimination incident. Based on his understanding of Chen Hero, although Chen Hero was sometimes too proud, that is, arrogant and flamboyant, he never racially discriminated against others, never, not once.

So he believed that Chen Hero was wronged. The question was why Richards would do this? Would slandering an honest person benefit him?

During today's training, Chen Hero was always absent-minded. He also expressed his understanding of this and rarely roared at Chen Hero, who was often distracted during training.

Everyone thought that Chen Hero was hit hard by this incident.

But in fact, he was thinking about how to prove his innocence...

The current situation is a "dead end." Except for himself and Richards, no third person heard what he said to Richards. After he tackled Richards at that time, after an extremely brief moment of silence, there was a huge uproar at the scene. Liverpool fans were cheering for him, while Manchester City fans were cursing and booing loudly.

In such a noisy situation, no one could have heard what he said...

In this way, there is no evidence to prove his innocence. And Richards bit first, coupled with the media's hype, almost confirmed his identity as a racist.

The situation is very unfavorable to him.

In addition, his retaliatory tackle of Richards really made it easy for people to believe that he was so excited that he blurted out swear words when he rushed up to reprimand Richards.

After the training, Chen Hero was surrounded by reporters. Everyone ran to interview him. As for the other Liverpool players, no one paid any attention to them...

Everyone just wanted to hear his reaction to Richards' accusations.

"This is slander, I absolutely did not say such things!" Chen Hero certainly had to declare that he was wronged.

"Richards is slandering me! I want to file a slander charge against him!"

"Excuse me, do you have any evidence? Yesterday's TV program has already broadcasted the video footage of the game at that time, and no evidence was found to prove that you did not insult him as a 'nigger'..." A reporter raised his hand to ask.

"Then may I ask if you have found any evidence from it that I called him a 'nigger'?" Chen Hero asked back.

The reporter was silent. Because everyone did not find any evidence that Chen Hero racially discriminated against Richards.

But Richards is an England international, considered their compatriot, so they would definitely favor Richards in this matter, not to mention that Chen Hero was very arrogant before, bragging that he wanted Richards to apologize first. This also made many people have a bad impression of him.

In addition, Chen Hero's unruly "bad boy" image left to the media before made many people think that if it was Chen Hero, it was really possible for him to say such things impulsively - he dared to elbow Busquets and break his nasal bone when he had already been sent off with a red card, what else couldn't he do?

So the current situation is indeed very unfavorable to Chen Hero.

Liverpool reporters kindly reminded Chen Hero: "But you really need evidence, Hero. The FA has decided to launch an investigation into this matter, and they have already met with Richards and his agent Levaque..."

Liverpool reporters still don't want to see Chen Hero really banned for racial discrimination. Originally, malicious retaliation was enough for him to be banned for several games, coupled with racial discrimination, I'm afraid he won't be able to play the remaining games in 2011...

As soon as evidence was mentioned, Chen Hero had a headache. He had been thinking about it throughout the entire training session, but he couldn't figure out a clue.

But he can't admit defeat in front of the reporters, that would make people think that he is easy to bully, that he is finished, and will only be laughed at by others.

Just like he once said - I can lose anything, but I must never lose my momentum!

So he raised his head: "Of course, I have evidence, very strong evidence! It can prove my innocence! I will take it out when necessary!" When he said this, his face was full of confidence, not at all like a unlucky child who had been troubled by evidence all day long...

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar at the scene - Chen Hero actually has evidence? Where did it come from? What exactly does it look like? If he can really produce evidence to prove his innocence, wouldn't it mean that Richards is framing Chen Hero?

This thing is really lively!

A twist in the road, a divine development!

This week is all about attracting readers' attention with this!

This trip to Liverpool was really worth it!

But since Richards is so confident that Chen Hero did racially discriminate against him, is there any corresponding evidence?

If both parties have evidence, then take it out!

Come on, let's have a good fight!!
