"Call them 'football hooligans'? Sorry, I'm insulting the term 'football hooligans'!"

Chen Hero's impassioned interview was quickly on television, in newspapers, and online.

Originally, this matter had nothing to do with the players, but now he was dragged into it.

Because he had cursed all Turkish fans, which was tantamount to stirring up public anger.

Turkish media condemned Chen Hero's carpet bombing.

As the biggest name involved in this incident, Chen Hero naturally attracted the most hatred…

However, Chen Hero was fearless.

"I am responsible for every word I have said. Phil Gibbs is definitely not a football hooligan. The Turkish media's intention to smear is obvious; they want to take this opportunity to bring Liverpool down!"

Chen Hero's accusation of ill intent was naturally met with consistent counterattacks and bombardments from the Turkish media.

But everyone was a little apprehensive, because… Chen Hero was right!

Of course, although somewhat guilty, they had to be tough and absolutely couldn't show weakness.

So, more and more media outlets in Turkey joined the fray, portraying Chen Hero as a demon.

He was the spokesperson for football hooligans, a butcher who maliciously injured people, an idiot with a low IQ, and he would never be able to defeat Messi.

Chen Hero's response to the Turkish media's various attacks was:

"Logically speaking, I should suggest that UEFA kick out the black sheep like Besiktas from the Europa League. But I don't want to do that, because I will lose the opportunity to slaughter them myself!" He said this with a murderous aura.

"I hope Besiktas comes to the game. I know that as players, they may be innocent, but I want them to know the consequences of not controlling the rabid fans in their pants!"

Well, now even the Besiktas team was implicated…

Chen Hero was truly a qualified MT (Main Tank, aggro holder in online games), and a MT with aggro on everyone. Once targeted, no one could escape!

While Chen Hero was having a war of words with the Turkish media, the latest news came from Istanbul. Chen Hero's agent, Dekura, had visited Phil Gibbs in an Istanbul hospital, talked with Phil Gibbs' parents, conveyed Chen Hero's concern for Phil Gibbs, and told them that if they had any difficulties, they could call Chen Hero at any time.

This matter was quickly praised.

Because of this incident, Chen Hero was even invited to a television program to discuss the matter.

Chen Hero admitted that he asked Dekura to visit Phil Jones.

The television program specially arranged for Phil Gibbs' parents to call from Turkey to thank Chen Hero, and the scene was very touching.

Gibbs' parents were still deeply saddened by their son's stabbing, but they still expressed their gratitude to Chen Hero for speaking up for justice. They revealed that their son had indeed told them that he had once driven Chen Hero to the stadium for a match, which proved Chen Hero's statement about knowing Phil Gibbs.

Chen Hero comforted the two poor old people, telling them that Phil Gibbs would definitely turn the corner, and if they needed any help, they could contact him at any time.

Next, the English fans arrested by the Turkish police were deported, but they brought testimonies that were completely inconsistent with the Turkish media. They claimed that they were definitely not football hooligans. They also told reporters in detail what happened that night.

"...That night, after watching the game, we went to a café to chat for a while, and then went back to the hotel together. At the corner of a street, we met a group of Besiktas fans... They cursed at us, gave us the middle finger, and cursed very badly... I wanted to rush out and beat them up at the time, but Phil stopped me... But then they started chanting that Liverpool had too few deaths at Hillsborough... So I got impulsive... Yes, I admit that I made the first move! But so what? Those bastards insulted our ninety-six Hillsborough victims, and I really couldn't tolerate it!"

Tom Jackson said in an interview with the media.

When he learned that the Turkish media had called them football hooligans, he was furious and cursed at the camera, "They are the football hooligans! Their whole country is full of football hooligans! Those bastards! Damn Turkish bastards! Their people insulted us with our eternal pain, stabbed my good friend, and shamelessly said that we are football hooligans! They will be punished! They will definitely be punished!"

The testimonies of other Liverpool fans were similar to his.

With more and more testimonies from Liverpool fans, the English media also began to make their voices heard. They completely overturned the Turkish media's previous accusations that Liverpool fans were all football hooligans.

Things were getting lively.

The other Liverpool fans were already very upset, and now that they heard that the Besiktas fans were insulting Liverpool fans in this way, they were even more angry.

"Let the Turks die!"

"The British government should sever diplomatic relations with Turkey!"

"I will never travel to a crappy place like Turkey again!"

Everyone began to vindicate the Liverpool fans, but the Liverpool people only remembered one person's name. That person was… Chen Hero!

Before Tom Jackson and others had given their testimonies, he had made his own judgment, clearly supporting Phil Gibbs and believing that Gibbs was definitely not a football hooligan!

Now it seemed that everyone's impression of Chen Hero had improved a lot. Especially those non-Liverpool fans who had a bad impression of Chen Hero before, now felt that Chen Hero was a real man of loyalty and integrity!

Chen Hero himself was not complacent about this. He was more concerned about Phil Gibbs' injury.

Dekura had stayed in Istanbul to assist Phil Gibbs' parents with many things, Chen Hero had temporarily lent his agent to Gibbs' parents. These British elderly people were just ordinary retired workers, and they lacked experience in dealing with various media and other institutions. Dekura had many advantages in this regard.

He did help Gibbs' parents a lot, and Gibbs' parents specially thanked him for this on that television program.

Chen Hero would contact Dekura regularly to inquire about the latest progress of Phil Gibbs' injury.

Two days later, good news finally came.

Phil Gibbs was out of danger, and he had been transferred from the intensive care unit to a regular ward. Now Gibbs' parents hoped that Gibbs could return to England for further treatment. Dekura began to actively contact airlines and hospitals for them.

Phil Gibbs had now become a hero who defended Liverpool's glory, and many Liverpool hospitals had expressed their willingness to receive him, so returning to England was not a problem.

Chen Hero also thought it would be good to return to England. He was always worried about that place in Turkey.

God knows what tricks the Turks would play. Now, because of this matter, the British side and the Turkish side were very unhappy.

It should be noted that the Turks had such examples. Before the 2003 game between Leeds United and Istanbul, two Leeds United fans were stabbed to death by Turkish fans. The situation at the time was like this - one person died on the spot, and the other was seriously injured, but if he was sent to the hospital in time, he could still be saved. However, the Turkish side deliberately delayed the time and did not provide timely treatment, which eventually led to the Leeds United fan dying of his injuries.

Chen Hero didn't want someone to run to Phil Gibbs' ward in the middle of the night to pull the plug…

So it was best to bring Phil Gibbs back. He had been afraid to do so because Phil Gibbs' injury was serious, and he had been issued three critical illness notices, as if he might die at any time. At that time, Gibbs couldn't stand the long flight.

Now that his condition had stabilized, he could consider starting to take him away.

Dekura would take care of this, and Chen Hero didn't have to worry about it. He just needed to know the result.

Since Phil Gibbs was out of danger, he could breathe a sigh of relief. At least Gibbs would not die. What he had to consider was another thing - to avenge Gibbs and seek justice for the Liverpool fans!

Before the second leg, there was a league game, Liverpool vs. Norwich at home.

In this game, Chen Hero started and scored a goal in the game.

After scoring, he lifted his jersey, revealing a t-shirt underneath that read: "Phil Gibbs, you are not a football hooligan!"

His celebration won thunderous cheers and applause from more than 60,000 Liverpool fans at Anfield.

"That's right! We are not football hooligans!!"

Countless Liverpool fans roared to the sky, shouting such slogans.

Faced with such a scene, the referee was really embarrassed to show Chen Hero a yellow card. The whole of England knew about Phil Gibbs' matter these days, so he knew very well why Chen Hero did this. The referee was also a human being, and as a human being, he would have emotions and desires, and he might be moved. He believed that Chen Hero's undressing celebration was to express his support for Phil Gibbs and all Liverpool fans. Giving a yellow card for such a move would be too spoil the atmosphere, and this was at Anfield, Liverpool's home ground. Giving Chen Hero a yellow card would be going against the Liverpool fans, and he wasn't stupid enough to do that...

In the end, relying on goals from Chen Hero and Gerrard, Liverpool defeated Norwich 2-0 at home.

Since Manchester City, who ranked first, also won the game, Liverpool still ranked second in the league, but at this time, no one cared about Liverpool's league results.

Everyone was waiting for the second leg of the Europa League Round of 16 in midweek, when Besiktas players would come to Anfield to play.

This was an excellent opportunity. The humiliation suffered by Liverpool fans in the away game would be returned to Besiktas all at once!

Chen Hero also directly mentioned this game in a post-match interview.

"The actions of Besiktas fans will definitely affect the team they support."

He issued such a threat.

It seemed he couldn't wait.
