Chapter 671 I Really Didn't Mean to Assist! (350 Monthly Ticket Bonus!)

“Suarez to the wing, is he really going to cross?” the commentator wondered on TV.

Whether watching on TV or at the stadium, Liverpool fans covered their faces at this sight, lamenting, “Please no! I’d rather he shoot himself. This is just wasting our offensive opportunity!”

Suarez didn't hear the Liverpool fans’ wails. Even if he had, he wouldn't have cared.

He crossed the ball, of course. At a terrible time, with terrible technique, he kicked the ball into the box…

At the same time, Chen Hero suddenly started from outside the box, cutting diagonally into the penalty area, running from the back post to the front post!

Evans hadn't reacted yet, but Rio Ferdinand next to him knew what Chen Hero was going to do. He rushed over, intending to block Chen Hero.

In a fierce collision in the air, the one who initiates the collision will have the advantage. When Chen Hero loses his balance, he definitely won't be able to head the ball well, and his defense will be successful!

He watched Chen Hero while running towards the front post.

※※※

Chen Hero also saw Rio Ferdinand, and he knew what the other party was going to do. However, he didn't change his plan, didn't slam on the brakes halfway and run towards the center.

He could avoid Ferdinand by doing that, but that's not what he wanted. He wanted to show Ferdinand how tough he was, to let him know that he wasn’t afraid of physical confrontation!

Of course, another important reason was… if he ran to the center, even if he could avoid Ferdinand and take on the softie Evans one-on-one, he wouldn't be able to head the ball. Because from the trajectory of the ball, Chen Hero judged that the ball would land at the front post, not in the middle, let alone at the back post…

It was a single-plank bridge; he wouldn't be able to head the ball if he took any other path.

This head-on encounter with Ferdinand was unavoidable, and he didn't want to avoid it at all!

※※※

The two jumped almost at the same time.

Chen Hero cut diagonally from the center to the front post and jumped up.

Ferdinand, protecting the goal on the inside, also jumped up, blocking the near corner with his body.

Chen Hero was sideways to the goal, and the shooting angle was also blocked by Ferdinand. It wouldn’t be easy to head the ball in.

But Chen Hero still flew up tenaciously!

Ferdinand wanted to bump Chen Hero and knock him off balance.

What he didn't expect was that Chen Hero had the same idea!

And Chen Hero made the first move!

Before he could bump into Chen Hero, Chen Hero had already bumped into him, and his body was knocked askew in the air where he had nowhere to borrow strength.

Then he saw Chen Hero nod his head to shoot!

After breaking through a gap, the ball went through it, flying almost past Ferdinand's ear towards the goal!

De Gea didn't expect that Chen Hero could still head the ball towards the goal in this situation. He originally thought that with Rio Ferdinand there, it wouldn't be so easy for Chen Hero to head the ball over. Because several times before, Ferdinand and Evans had proven that their defense against Chen Hero was very successful.

So when the ball flew past Ferdinand's ear, he didn't react at all. Besides seeing it, he didn't make any movements.

He just watched the ball fly into his goal…

※※※

“GOAL! GOAL! GOOOOOOOOOOOAL!! Beautiful header! Hero! Hero scores!!”

“Hero won the header against Ferdinand in the air! He is indeed the best header in football today!”

“Hero showed us why his header is so powerful! To be honest, Suarez's cross wasn't that good. In theory, Rio Ferdinand should have headed the ball first. But when he competed with Chen Hero in the air, he was completely at a disadvantage!”

“The physical qualities of the two players are fully revealed in this goal! Chen Hero completely defeated Rio Ferdinand!”

Sure enough, in the commentators’ excited roars, no one stood up to spoil the fun by questioning whether Chen Hero had fouled by bumping into someone first…

Everyone was cheering for Chen Hero's goal.

Liverpool fans in the stands also jumped up from their seats, raising their hands and cheering.

And the Manchester United fans who lost the ball just held their heads in frustration and did not stand up to point fingers at Chen Hero and scold him for bumping into people.

If this goal had happened in Spain, in Italy, it would probably have caused a big controversy… The player who was bumped askew would have fallen to the ground, screamed, and the players on the losing side would have run to the referee and linesman to protest, and even the players who scored the goal might still have some doubts…

But none of the above happened in the construction of this goal.

As soon as Chen Hero landed, he opened his arms and ran towards Suarez, who had assisted him.

The Manchester United players did not run to the referee to protest, but were just frustrated and depressed.

Ferdinand just stared at Chen Hero's back and did not complain to the referee that Chen Hero had fouled.

※※※

Suarez was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that his cross, deliberately passed into the crowd with a very irregular landing point, would actually be headed into the goal by Chen Hero!

Fuck! Is he even human?!

Suarez raised his hands, intending to hold his head, but before he could do so, Chen Hero had already rushed in front of him, and with a swoop, hugged him, his hands still raised in the air. With Chen Hero's hug, he couldn't take them back, and continued to raise them high, pointing to the sky. No matter how you looked at it, this action looked like he was raising his arms and cheering…

“Hero and Suarez have a really good relationship!” Some reporters in the media box exclaimed after seeing this scene.

“This is already his second assist for Hero, right? Assisting Hero specifically! He’s really Chen Hero’s good friend in the team!”

“Yes! Yes! They are the most reliable two on Liverpool's front line, just counting on them to score goals. Now seeing that they have such a good relationship, Dalglish must be very happy, right?”

※※※

Dalglish was indeed happy. When Chen Hero headed the ball into the goal, he jumped out of his seat with his hands raised.

Not only was he happy about Chen Hero's goal, but he was also happy that the goal came from Suarez's assist. He had already noticed this tacit understanding between Suarez and Chen Hero.

This was the second time Suarez had assisted Chen Hero.

Although Suarez's previous crosses were not very good, this one accurately found Chen Hero, and that was enough!

This goal proved that his idea of letting Suarez go to the wing to cross for Chen Hero was correct!

This tactic needs to be maintained!

If Suarez knew that Dalglish had this idea in his mind, he would probably cry to death…

But now he couldn't care about that, because Chen Hero's hug was really a "bear hug", squeezing his chest so hard that he could hardly breathe.

When the other teammates rushed over to celebrate the goal with them, he was liberated…

But he was still surrounded by everyone, tightly pressed together with Chen Hero.

That big guy roared and cheered in front of him, spitting on his face, and he couldn't even reach out to wipe it off, because the teammates were hugging him too tightly, he couldn't pull his hand out…

After celebrating the goal, Chen Hero specially put his arm around Suarez's shoulder, squeezed it hard, and then turned his head to grin at him.

Suarez saw Chen Hero's expression and movement. He grinned and gave a stiff smile… and his heart was bleeding!

What's going on?

That's not right!

It shouldn't be like this!

I didn't want to assist him, I didn't want him to think that I had a good relationship with him!!

But how did it turn out like this?

It doesn't make sense!

※※※

Next, Suarez suddenly didn't go to the wing to cross so much. He started trying to shoot himself whenever he had the chance.

Chen Hero scored, and he didn't want the other party to steal the show. He also wanted to score!

But his luck was a bit bad, and maybe because he was too eager to shoot, he didn't grasp the timing of the shots very well, and completely forced them.

How could such shots break through Manchester United's defensive line?

After failing to shoot again and again, he even got angry with the turf.

He attributed the reason for kicking the ball away just now to the unevenness of the field—in front of him was a piece of turf that had been turned over, and just now the ball suddenly jumped up because it rolled to this place, causing Suarez to kick the bottom of the ball, turning the shot into a big clearance…

So he grabbed the culprit and slammed it out of the baseline to vent his dissatisfaction and anger.

“Suarez is very anxious, he wants to score too much! But sometimes wanting to do something doesn't necessarily mean you can do it… I think he should calm down and patiently wait for the opportunity… Although Liverpool is now leading Manchester United, Manchester United's offensive is also very threatening, he can't always waste opportunities like this!”

The commentator made a ruthless criticism of Suarez's performance.

Chen Hero naturally noticed Suarez's action of throwing the turf out, and he also knew what it meant.

Suarez also wanted to score.

Chen Hero didn't think about the competitive relationship between him and Suarez. He always thought that since they could both start, there was no competitive relationship.

Since Suarez wanted to score, and he had assisted his goal before, then he should help him.

This is called reciprocity.

Chen Hero still understood this point. And he has always been the kind of person who treats you well if you treat me well, and treats you even worse if you treat me badly.

Now that Suarez needs help, I, Chen Hero, must step forward!
