Chapter 900 Record? Break Another One! (Second Update Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

Many people didn't see clearly how Suárez got the ball and launched the attack. In reality, after Beşiktaş took a shot, the ball was saved by Reina, who immediately jumped up and threw the ball with his hands to the vicinity of the center line.

Suárez happened to receive the ball. After bringing down the incoming ball, he dribbled forward, forming the situation...

Seeing Suárez dribbling the ball, almost all of Beşiktaş's defenders shifted their attention to him.

As for Chen Hero, who was sprinting forward in the middle... no one seemed to care.

Because everyone knew there were conflicts between Suárez and Chen Hero, to the point where they even fought directly on the field... It would be strange if Suárez was willing to pass the ball to Chen Hero!

Therefore, as long as they prevented Suárez from breaking through with the ball, they would be successful in this defense. Chen Hero didn't even need to be considered!

Poor Chen Hero, if he knew he was being ignored like this, who knows what he would be feeling.

And the people watching the game were surprised by the way Beşiktaş players all ran to defend Suárez—ignoring Chen Hero was really rare in games with Chen Hero participating these days...

Doing this really... requires a lot of courage!

They didn't know that Beşiktaş was betting on the fact that Suárez and Chen Hero's relationship was not harmonious, so Suárez would never pass the ball to Chen Hero.

So, with a whoosh, four Beşiktaş players rushed over, surrounding Suárez from three directions, leaving only the sideline for him.

At this moment, Suárez glanced up and noticed large swathes of open space in his front-left.

This discovery startled him!

He had been focused on dribbling the ball, but he didn't expect that after taking just a few steps, the world had changed so drastically—in today's football world, is no one afraid of Chen Hero anymore? What are you guys doing? Provoking me? Thinking I can't accurately send the ball to Chen Hero's feet while surrounded by you?

Damn it! You're openly provoking my passing ability!

I had fourteen assists in a season at Ajax, and won the assist king, was that all just hot air?!

Suárez feinted an acceleration to break through, but suddenly came to a screeching halt!

With this sudden stop, the encirclement also stopped abruptly, creating a gap.

※※※

Up until this point, the Beşiktaş players still thought Suárez was going to make a feint to break through, or turn around and pass the ball back, which would mean their defense was successful.

But who would have thought that Suárez, with a sudden stop and half-turn, swept his right foot and passed the ball out!

A diagonal long pass, the ball flew directly to the middle.

And in the middle, there was Chen Hero, and a defender marking him, Korkmaz.

Not even marking him head-on, but running back alongside Chen Hero.

Everyone was stunned!

The four Beşiktaş players surrounding Suárez never expected Suárez would actually pass the ball, so when the ball darted out of their encirclement, they were all dumbfounded, even forgetting to retreat, just watching the ball roll towards Chen Hero...

※※※

Chen Hero had been running towards the penalty area, while turning his head to observe Suárez's situation.

When Suárez stopped suddenly, he knew the bucktoothed guy was going to pass the ball to him.

So he suddenly accelerated, taking long strides, and dashed diagonally forward.

This immediately squeezed Korkmaz, who was running with him, behind him.

At the same time, the ball was passed over.

Chen Hero happened to receive the ball, blocking Korkmaz.

There was only one defender beside him, and he received the ball so easily. This treatment made Chen Hero a little suspicious. He even thought he was offside, and glanced at the linesman. Only when he saw the linesman didn't raise the flag did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Then he rushed forward with the ball.

This was just too easy for him...

※※※

Huge boos and all kinds of curses erupted from İnönü Stadium.

Everyone felt the approaching danger.

Chen Hero dribbled the ball into the penalty area. Korkmaz followed behind him, desperately trying to steal the ball, but with Chen Hero in the way, it was difficult to even extend his leg.

But he couldn't not extend his leg, because Chen Hero was about to enter the penalty area!

He directly stretched his leg to tackle the ball under Chen Hero's feet.

But he didn't reach the ball, because at the same time he fell to the ground to tackle, Chen Hero flicked the ball away with his left foot.

He only tackled a bunch of air!

Unwilling to give up, Korkmaz reacted quickly, immediately twisting his body, and executing a scissor-like motion on the ground with his legs, and then an upward motion!

This was a typical foul, not even a tackle, but a tackle of the person. If Chen Hero fell to the ground, Korkmaz definitely wouldn't escape a red card, because if he didn't foul, Chen Hero would have already formed a one-on-one opportunity!

Liverpool fans exclaimed in surprise, while Beşiktaş fans cheered loudly: "Break his leg—!!"

Sorry to disappoint them.

Under Korkmaz's scissor legs, Chen Hero only swayed his body, but didn't fall to the ground. He also managed to jump out of Korkmaz's scissor legs in time.

It wasn't that he was afraid of getting injured, he was afraid of not being able to catch up with the ball...

※※※

Having broken through Korkmaz, Chen Hero now directly faced the onrushing goalkeeper, Rüştü.

But in Chen Hero's eyes, the nearly forty-year-old Rüştü was no threat at all.

In the talent system, there was a talent called "Goalkeeper Destroyer," which meant that in one-on-one situations with the goalkeeper, the success rate of getting past the goalkeeper would increase.

Chen Hero had maxed out this talent.

However, he didn't have many opportunities to face the goalkeeper one-on-one in matches, so this talent basically had no room to be used.

Today, he finally got such an opportunity.

Chen Hero lowered his left shoulder, feigning a breakthrough to the left.

But he flicked the ball to the right.

Chen Hero thought this would be enough to trick Rüştü. But he overlooked one thing—although Rüştü was nearly forty years old and his physical fitness was far from what it used to be, his experience was extremely rich!

How could such a simple feint trick Rüştü? So when he flicked the ball over, he looked up and saw Rüştü waiting right there!

Chen Hero's second reaction was quick enough too! Just as Rüştü reached out to grab the ball, he suddenly stretched his right foot out as far as possible, his whole body looking like he was doing the splits, and hooked the ball back!

Rüştü missed!

But the problem was... Chen Hero himself had also lost his balance. His whole body was like he couldn't finish the splits, his legs spread very far apart. In this situation, it was already not easy for him to prevent his muscles from tearing, let alone shoot?

In the eyes of ordinary people, although Chen Hero had gotten past Rüştü this time, he had also lost the opportunity to shoot, so Beşiktaş's defense could be considered a success. Now, they didn't even need the retreating defenders to come up to clear the ball. Rüştü could get up and scoop the ball into his arms.

But Chen Hero wasn't an ordinary person.

What ordinary people couldn't do, he had to do, because his name was Hero!

The ball was hooked to the left by Chen Hero, Chen Hero slammed his palms hard on the ground, and his whole body stood up like a groundhog... Of course, the action wasn't pretty, it looked a lot like a toad jump...

But the effect was surprisingly good—he managed to regain control of his body in this situation, faster than Rüştü, and faster than the other retreating Beşiktaş players.

The next thing was simple.

He poked the ball with his left foot!

Just as the ball rolled out, Rüştü's hand was there again!

Almost, even if he wasn't caught by the opponent, he would have been saved...

Now, whether it was Rüştü or other Beşiktaş players, they could only watch the ball roll into the goal...

※※※

"Hero—Hero—He-ro!!"

The commentators were collectively going wild again!

"This ball... this ball is in! Beautiful! Hero!"

"The nineteenth goal is here! He broke the single-season European goal record of eighteen goals set by Messi last season! Amazing Chen Hero!"

"Hero has given the team the lead! He scored twice in this game!!"

"Liverpool have gotten an away goal, and they've taken the lead in the score. They have a perfect away score that couldn't be more perfect!"

"Many people say that Liverpool's trip to Beşiktaş is a hellish journey, and they can count their ancestors' blessings if they lose by only a few goals... but Hero has turned the hellish journey into an Istanbul vacation... His two goals have given Liverpool the upper hand in the two-legged knockout stage!"

After scoring, Chen Hero directly made a gesture to the Beşiktaş fans behind the goal, inciting them to be louder—am I afraid of your booing? I'm afraid you're not booing loud enough! Come on, sing another song for me, louder, I won't pay if you don't tear your throats!

After a brief moment of shock, the Beşiktaş fans booed and cursed even louder, and many people impulsively threw their phones down.

Chen Hero didn't pay any attention to them at all, turned around, patted his butt and ran away, opening his arms to his teammates with a bright smile on his face.

The Beşiktaş fans were depressed. Not only did they have to endure the painful reality of their team falling behind, but they also had to feel sorry for the phones they threw onto the field... These were the latest iPhone 5s!

※※※

The Liverpool fans who were penned in were very excited. They didn't care that the Beşiktaş fans in front of them turned around to threaten them, making throat-slitting gestures at them. They jumped and cheered in the wire mesh, cheering for their team's lead.

The humiliation they suffered during halftime was all released at this moment.

You embarrassed us, we'll embarrass you even more!

"Long live Hero! Long live Hero!"

Everyone shouted like this.

Phil Gibbs grabbed his companions and shouted, "I helped Hero! He rode in my car!!"

But everyone was so excited that no one noticed his boasting.

Everyone had excited smiles on their faces. This away trip, although they were outnumbered, their team didn't disappoint them. This Liverpool was completely different from the Liverpool of last season. This was the "Reds" team worth following to the ends of the earth!
