Chapter 1 Avenge!

Chen Hero received a new task, which was to avenge Phil Gibbs, to avenge those Liverpool fans who had been wronged.

Of course, this kind of revenge didn't mean him running to the streets of Turkey with a submachine gun to start a massacre, staging a "Bloody Istanbul" scene. Or sneaking into Turkey in the dead of night and killing all the Besiktas fans who participated in the brawl.

Instead, it was revenge on the football field.

The task was simple: for Chen Hero to score continuously in the game. The highlight was that this goal had no upper limit, meaning that as long as Chen Hero was willing, as long as Chen Hero could, he could score as many goals as he wanted.

The more goals he scored, the richer the rewards he would receive in the end.

Because it was a task aimed at the fans, the reward was fan reputation.

From this version onward, reputation was divided into two systems: one was the previous kind of reputation, and the other was fan reputation. The first kind of reputation increased the player's own fame in the world of football, while fan reputation referred to Chen Hero's popularity in the hearts of the fans.

Fan reputation was only for the fans of the team Chen Hero played for, namely Liverpool fans.

If Chen Hero wanted to complete the "Shock the Kop Stand" task, he needed a lot of fan reputation, a huge amount.

So far, Chen Hero had won the love of many fans in Liverpool, but love was not equal to fan reputation, so Chen Hero still hadn't completed this task. Now, this revenge task could reward a large amount of Liverpool fan reputation, bringing Chen Hero one step closer to completing the task.

However, fan reputation couldn't produce results immediately, so this task also had another reward, which was immediate.

It was also linked to fan reputation.

Reaching peak fan reputation could make Chen Hero a great Liverpool star who "Shocked the Kop Stand," but before that, fan reputation also had other uses, and reaching a certain level could trigger other events.

For example, this time, as long as Chen Hero had enough fan reputation, he could receive a reward after completing the task—he would have his own fan club!

Just like the "Blue Giant Bear" organization in Naples, but Chen Hero had always lacked contact and communication with the Blue Giant Bear, and it could be said that he didn't have much influence on the Blue Giant Bear. This time, the task reward was different. From the moment this organization was established, it would have an inseparable connection with Chen Hero.

Chen Hero didn't know exactly what the connection was, nor did he know how the system would achieve it. But he was used to it. The system was awesome and always had various ways to make many seemingly absurd things come true.

So he didn't care about that.

He wasn't looking forward to rewards or anything now. He just wanted revenge, regardless of rewards.

In addition to scoring against Besiktas, Chen Hero also wanted to slap Besiktas fans hard in the face.

Especially doing it face-to-face, that would be really satisfying.

But unfortunately, his idea might not be realized.

Because Liverpool Football Club announced that they would not give Besiktas Football Club a single ticket!

Generally speaking, in European matches like this, the home team would reserve a portion of tickets for the away team club to sell to away team fans who came with the team.

Of course, the number of tickets was up to the home team. If the home team wanted to create a terrifying home atmosphere, they would try to leave as few tickets as possible for the away team.

In the Champions League, away team fans could generally get one thousand to one thousand five hundred tickets, and three thousand tickets was considered a lot.

This was a Champions League-level match. If it were a Europa League match, there might be even fewer tickets. So Besiktas leaving eight hundred tickets for Liverpool fans at home was considered normal.

If it hadn't been for the Phil Gibbs incident, Liverpool's actions would have been inhumane.

Of course, Liverpool did this for Phil Gibbs. Besiktas fans stabbed Liverpool fans, and Turkish media even slandered these Liverpool fans as football hooligans.

Although Besiktas Football Club and the players came out to condemn this violence, it was unclear whether they were condemning their own fans or Liverpool fans…

Liverpool Football Club's official announcement said: "The stabbing of Phil Gibbs has made the relationship between the two fans very tense. For safety reasons, we have decided not to let Besiktas fans come to the away game…"

For safety reasons, this reason was perfect. After all, at this juncture, a large number of Besiktas fans pouring into Liverpool might lead to some extreme events. Although Phil Gibbs was not a football hooligan, who could guarantee that there wouldn't be football hooligans and violent elements among all Liverpool fans?

So in order to avoid new bloody conflicts and to avoid the expansion of hostile emotions between the two fans, it was reasonable for Liverpool not to allow any Besiktas fans to come to the away game…

Bullshit!

Anyone with a normal IQ knew that Liverpool was taking revenge.

Because Besiktas fans stabbed Phil Gibbs, and Turkish media slandered Phil Gibbs as the head of football hooligans, this matter made Liverpool Football Club furious. But they were a club, and it wasn't appropriate to curse.

Therefore, Liverpool Football Club was waiting for this opportunity!

As soon as Liverpool Football Club's decision came out, it aroused strong protests from Besiktas Football Club. They really didn't believe that Liverpool Football Club was doing it out of some bullshit safety concerns. They just wanted to strike at Besiktas and take revenge.

To this end, they even filed a complaint with UEFA.

Hoping that UEFA, the righteous master, would stand up for them—how could Liverpool do this? Our fans stabbed your fans, and this matter has not yet been investigated. How can you involve all Besiktas fans like this? Even if those Besiktas fans who stabbed Liverpool fans are not good people, it doesn't mean that all Besiktas fans are not good people! Your Liverpool Football Club, a dignified English powerhouse, cannot generalize and cannot wrongly accuse the innocent!

Turkish media also joined in the clamor, shouting injustice and criticizing Liverpool Football Club for being petty and lacking magnanimity.

In response, Liverpool Football Club's general manager, Neong, said in an interview: "We did this out of safety concerns. After all, no one wants a bloody incident to happen again… Can Besiktas Football Club guarantee that their fans are all gentle and refined gentlemen? We can guarantee that Liverpool fans are definitely not football hooligans, but I don't believe Besiktas's guarantee… It's better to be cautious about this kind of thing…"

He was relatively euphemistic in criticizing Besiktas.

But due to his status, he couldn't be too straightforward.

Chen Hero didn't care so much. He directly said on his Twitter: "Besiktas fans aren't coming? That's a pity! I wanted to slap them in the face in person…"

This was the first tweet, and the second was like this: "If a club can't control the bird fans in their pants, then it's reasonable not to give them a single ticket. I don't understand what Besiktas Football Club has to complain about. If those affected fans are unhappy, I suggest they go find the fans who stabbed Phil and beat them up…"

These two tweets caused a lot of controversy. Liverpool fans and Besiktas fans started a fierce quarrel under his Twitter, and both sides had a lot of extreme remarks.

However, arguing online is always better than fighting offline. At least, besides making you very angry, you don't actually lose anything.

The two clubs argued endlessly about the tickets.

In the end, it was UEFA who calmed the situation.

Besiktas filed a complaint with UEFA. Although UEFA really didn't like English teams, Liverpool's actions were reasonable and the reasons were impeccable. Even if UEFA wanted to find fault, they couldn't find it.

Because in European matches, the right to allocate tickets belongs to the home team.

"…Liverpool is the home team, and they have the right to decide who to sell tickets to, or not to sell to. We have no right to interfere. If they think it's better not to sell tickets to Besiktas for safety reasons, then Besiktas can only respect their decision…"

Well, once these words came out, all the arguments could only stop.

The Turkish club originally hoped that UEFA would uphold justice for them, but they didn't expect there to be such a saying. Liverpool wouldn't sell them tickets, and they really couldn't do anything about it.

Of course, the hatred between the two sides would definitely deepen because of these things… But who cares about that? You almost stabbed our fans to death, and you slandered our fans as football hooligans. This is already a deep hatred. Do we still care whether our hatred with you will deepen? What a joke!

Anyway, Besiktas could only accept an away game with no fans to support them.

Everyone could imagine what kind of treatment they would receive at Anfield Stadium after the events of the past week…

The fans' boos and scolding would definitely be unavoidable, and their pressure would be great.

However, before the expedition, Besiktas's coach, Havutcu, still seemed confident.

"We will do our best in the away game. I believe in my players, and we will complete a great reversal! We will use practical actions to bring a victory and joy to the fans in Turkey!"

Besiktas fans also came to the airport to see off their team, and they put up banners: "We are with you!" to encourage the Besiktas players.

The players' morale was also very high. They said that although the opponent had two away goals and they were one goal behind in the aggregate score, these were not problems. They had the confidence to defeat Liverpool.

Havutcu was very satisfied with the players' mental state.

Liverpool's refusal to sell tickets to Besiktas fans angered these players and filled them with fighting spirit.

Didn't expect that, Liverpool? Your actions have angered us instead, and now you're in for a treat!

Havutcu thought to himself.
