Chapter 1 "This trophy is really ugly!"

That sentence became the headline in the Spanish newspaper *Marca* the next day.

Many media outlets, like *Marca*, felt the same way; this UEFA Ballon d'Or, designed with such effort, was indeed ugly enough…

However, few of them would be like Chen Hero, saying such a thing at the awards ceremony, right after the trophy was handed to him…

Platini was just about to step aside and let Chen Hero speak when he heard this sentence. He almost spat out a mouthful of blood—if you think it's ugly, then don't take it!

Chen Hero ignored Platini's tangled expression and continued his brazen acceptance speech: "I want to thank everyone who voted for me. You are the truly knowledgeable media in all of Europe!" He gave a thumbs up.

The reporters below all laughed. They were very familiar with Chen Hero's temper; that's just the kind of person he is. The Italian reporters were especially happy because they were reminded of Chen Hero's speech at the Serie A Oscar awards ceremony, which was just as arrogant and confident.

If someone else said such a thing, they would only be considered pretentious and megalomaniacal. But when Chen Hero said it, many reporters had to agree with him. Why? Because he had the strength to be arrogant, the qualifications to say such things.

Seven Champions League knockout matches, thirteen goals scored in a destructive manner—such a performance was unprecedented and unmatched. If he hadn't been banned for eight games, maybe he could have scored twenty goals this season?

For someone with such strength and performance, arrogance is not a flaw at all, but a shining point of his personality.

Yes, that's right. The same trait has different meanings on different people. For an ordinary person, or even someone without strength, arrogance and conceit are flaws, the main factors that determine their inability to succeed. But for a successful person with ability, arrogance and conceit are shining points of their personality, their strengths, the keys to their ability to stand out from the crowd and achieve success…

When Chen Hero first debuted, he was arrogant, and many people scolded him as a moron, believing that he was destined to never reach any peak in his life.

As a result, he is now successful and still as arrogant as ever. The same media and people have changed their tune, praising successful people as always having unique personalities. If they didn't have such confidence, how could they succeed?

Anyway, they are always right.

Destroying people relies on their mouths, and praising people also relies on their mouths. If reporters claim to be second in verbal skills, I'm afraid no one would dare to say they are first.

Chen Hero's words naturally made Messi and Platini next to him look very unhappy.

Even if he lost to Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi would be calm and offer his blessings—in last season's La Liga top scorer competition, Messi lost to Ronaldo, and although he was very unconvinced, he still offered his blessings.

But when it came to Chen Hero, he didn't want to talk about any sportsmanship. He believes that talking about sportsmanship with this person is an insult to the word "sportsmanship."

This person, who was sent off with a red card and then furiously beat innocent people, tried to rush up and continue beating his opponents after the game, made wild remarks after the game, had no basic respect, and used celebratory gestures to insult his opponents after scoring goals, really doesn't deserve to have anyone talk about "sportsmanship" with him!

Messi is very unhappy with this person for this very reason.

Cristiano Ronaldo is also a player with personality. Before Chen Hero appeared, he also hated the Portuguese. But now, after comparing him with a reference object, he realized that compared to Chen Hero, the Portuguese is so much more lovable!

Chen Hero is simply scum!

So, when everyone was applauding to congratulate Chen Hero on winning the award, Messi only clapped a few times symbolically, then stopped halfway and had no intention of continuing to applaud, just standing next to him with a straight face.

Of course, he knew that this scene would be filmed by those with ulterior motives. But he wasn't afraid, because his hatred for Chen Hero was nothing new, and everyone knew why he hated Chen Hero. He also believed that there were many people who actually hated Chen Hero as much as he did, and he was not fighting alone.

Now, Chen Hero's acceptance speech confirmed Messi's feelings—not giving his opponents any face, not having any respect for his opponents, and being completely uneducated. He said that the reporters who voted for him were the truly knowledgeable ones, so doesn't that mean that the people who voted for Messi and Xavi were pseudo-fans who didn't know what they were talking about?

"This is my first Ballon d'Or, but definitely not the last! Thank you to the fair and impartial UEFA!" In the end, Chen Hero did not forget to satirize Platini and UEFA. After delivering his arrogant remarks, he stood back.

Generally speaking, Platini would stand with the award-winning players for a group photo.

But this time, Platini turned around and walked away directly. Not only him, but Messi and Xavi also had no intention of coming up to shake hands, take photos, and congratulate him.

But Chen Hero didn't care at all.

The more enemies hate him, the happier he is, because that shows that the enemies are very afraid of him.

Although Chen Hero's speech after winning the award was not very sportsmanlike, the Chinese hosts were still very happy. After all, Chen Hero has always been this kind of person, they are familiar with it and have adapted to it, and didn't think there was anything great about it. In addition, the feud between Barcelona and Chen Hero is known to everyone on earth. Chen Hero has a reason to hate and disgust Barcelona so much, and this reason is very sufficient. No one can stand on the moral high ground to criticize and accuse Chen Hero.

Anyone who is wrongly deprived of a major honor would probably feel very aggrieved and would frantically want revenge, and would not have any good faces for those who wronged him.

The commentators of China Central Television did not mention Chen Hero's lack of sportsmanship at all, and directly promoted Chen Hero as already a world-class star, on par with Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

His existence is the pride of Chinese football, the pride of Chinese sports, the pride of the Chinese people, and even the pride of the yellow race and the Asian people, proving that the yellow race can also achieve unprecedented success in football, the world's number one sport, and become top-notch.

Whether it is excessive humility or extreme inferiority, there is no shortage of arguments in China such as "xxxx is not suitable for Chinese people," "xxxxx is not suitable for the yellow race," and "Chinese people and the yellow race are really weak in xxxxx." Moreover, those who spout this kind of nonsense are not ignorant idiots and mental patients, but social celebrities with status, prestige, and fame. Their words are very deceptive, as if they have really become truths and laws—"Can xxx celebrity expert professor famous host well-known reporter… be wrong? Are we Chinese really an inferior race? Otherwise, why are there no outstanding figures in xxx and xxx, and xxxx?"

Liu Xiang and Yao Ming once gave them a strong slap in the face, but these people always forget the pain after the wound has healed, and Yao Ming has never truly been brilliant, and Liu Xiang has only been brilliant for a short time, which seems to really confirm the argument that "Chinese people are not suitable for xxxx."

Now Chen Hero has given them another slap in the face, but this slap is not strong enough, because he only won the UEFA Ballon d'Or, and those people still have reason to say that the FIFA Ballon d'Or has not been given to him…

Now the host has this idea, hoping that Chen Hero will continue to be so awesome, and not lie on his laurels and sleep after reaching the peak. In that case, he would really give those domestic scum who hold the view that "the Chinese nation is an inferior nation" a chance to gloat.

Hero, you must continue to be so awesome! You must win us some honor! Let those bastards know that we Chinese people, if we want to do something, we can definitely do it!

Chen Hero went down after receiving the award, and Chinese fans were still happy for him. The Champions League draw also began.

This has nothing to do with Chen Hero.

Liverpool doesn't even have the qualifications for the Europa League, let alone the Champions League.

It is a pity to say this. The influential figure in the Champions League last season actually transferred to a team that can't even play in the Champions League. It's really a pity.

In fact, when Chen Hero decided to transfer to Liverpool, he didn't know whether Liverpool would be able to enter the Champions League, and he didn't care about this issue. Later, he learned that Liverpool missed the Champions League, which made him a little disappointed.

But it was just a little bit. He said to Chen Xing on the phone: "It's okay, I'm here, and we can enter the Champions League!"

These words are very arrogant, but Chen Xing likes Chen Hero's arrogance. And others believe that Chen Hero has the ability to fulfill what he said.

So-called justified arrogance.

Chen Hero can't participate in the Champions League this season, and Chinese fans have a lot less anticipation. But for Chen Hero, it is also an opportunity for him to focus on domestic events. There are more games in England than in Italy, because in addition to the league, England has two very important cup games—the FA Cup and the League Cup.

Liverpool has not won a championship for five years, and even a League Cup like chicken ribs is a full banquet in their eyes.

Liverpool hopes to end this embarrassing five-year period with a championship.

This time, Chen Hero can't focus solely on the league and the Champions League like he did in Naples. He will definitely get more opportunities to play in domestic cup games. In this way, his number of goals will naturally be even greater.

Chen Hero likes to brush goals.

So far, he has scored one hundred and eighty-nine official league goals in his career. He is still eleven goals away from his two hundredth official goal in his career, which is not difficult for him at all. He will definitely break two hundred this season.

A player who is only twenty-three years old is already about to score two hundred career goals, which is really amazing.

If this trend continues, maybe Ian Rush's three hundred and forty-six goals can really be broken by him?
