Chapter 1 I Just Want to Forge

"Gareth Bale crosses... Chen Hero... Chen Hero!!" Old Hartson suddenly shrieked.

At the same time, all the Liverpool players in front of the TV jumped up from their seats.

They raised their arms and cheered.

In the midst of their cheers, the football flew into Newcastle United's goal.

"A last-minute winner! It's a last-minute winner! Hero's last-minute winner!!"

Old Hartson was a little hysterical.

But the Liverpool fans were even more hysterical than him.

They hugged each other, they kissed each other, they cheered, waved their arms, and then tilted their heads back and drank the wine in their glasses.

They were so excited, it was as if Liverpool had won an important final.

Indeed, for Liverpool now, every game is a final, and they must go all out, or they may die without a burial place.

A total of seven decisive battles, for Liverpool, this is not an easy journey, it is an arduous long run. They are burdened with enormous pressure, which will accumulate as the game progresses, accumulating game after game, and eventually become an enormous burden that will leave Liverpool breathless.

This cannot be alleviated. If they lose, it will become pressure. But winning the game will also become a huge pressure, because once you start winning, you can't stop.

"When you dance with the devil, you can't stop, you can only wait for the music to end."

That's what it means.

Liverpool has begun to dance with the devil.

Fortunately, they successfully passed the first part.

After Chen Hero helped the team complete the come-from-behind victory, Martin O'Neill also moved quickly. After celebrating the goal, he began to arrange substitutions.

Replacing an attacking player with a defensive player, O'Neill wanted to defend to the death in the final moments.

Anyway, there wasn't much time left for Newcastle United, so it wasn't wrong to defend to the death at this time.

Moreover, the result is the most important at this time, and the spectacle is not worth mentioning. Even if defending to the death would make the scene ugly, he couldn't care so much.

Of course, O'Neill replaced Suarez and Sanchez, but he did not replace Chen Hero.

Chen Hero remained on the field, even though his teammates around him were getting fewer and fewer.

O'Neill knew very well that even so, Chen Hero was still a huge threat to Newcastle's defense.

Not to mention what abilities he has to threaten Newcastle United's goal, just saying that he is a person... as long as he stands on the field, it is a great threat to Newcastle United.

As long as Chen Hero is still on the field for one minute, Newcastle United's defenders will not dare to press too far forward.

The pressure on Liverpool's defense can be reduced a lot.

So keeping Chen Hero on the field is not for offense, but for defense.

※※※

There was not much time left for Newcastle United, and they wanted to go all out to equalize the score. But Chen Hero was lurking near their defense, which made Newcastle United's players feel very uncomfortable.

They didn't dare to press forward with all their strength, so how could they go for broke?

Until the end of the game, they were unable to truly threaten Liverpool's goal.

The score naturally did not change.

Liverpool defeated Newcastle United 3:2 away!

They took down a tough bone on the road to winning the championship!

When the final whistle sounded, Liverpool's players hugged each other excitedly and cheered. It was really not easy to win Newcastle United away.

First of all, Newcastle United's current strength is not weak. They are currently ranked fifth in the league and are very likely to advance to fourth. Secondly, Newcastle United is playing at home. In this stadium, Newcastle United will explode with strong combat power after receiving the unreserved support of fans throughout the city. This is an important reason that cannot be ignored. Then there are their own factors. Liverpool is currently fighting on two fronts and is under great pressure. Secondly, their physical fitness is also facing a severe test.

Finally, there is the game itself. Liverpool faced a two-goal deficit at the beginning of the game.

With so many extremely unfavorable factors added together, Liverpool can still win this victory away, which shows how difficult it is.

That's why they are so happy.

This excitement continued until they returned to the locker room.

Suarez, naked from the waist up, wearing only tight-fitting briefs, shouted to everyone: "We will definitely be the champions! We can reverse even if we are two goals behind! Who else can beat us?"

Chen Hero was also very happy. He cheered with his good friend: "Yes! Yes! Luis is right! We are invincible! Invincible Liverpool! Let Manchester United wash themselves clean and wait for us at Old Trafford!"

The other players also joined in, waving their arms and shouting: "Champions! Champions! We want to be champions!!"

Martin O'Neill really didn't expect that a reversal would make Liverpool's players even more determined to win the championship.

It seems that the team's morale is high now, and any miracle can be created.

Although he was a little surprised, he was very happy.

Because what Liverpool needs most now is not tactical adjustments, but psychological ones. This reversal gave them a psychological advantage and they were full of confidence. This is indeed conducive to Liverpool's players unleashing their potential in the upcoming games.

Especially the upcoming away game against Real Madrid...

Liverpool was not held back by Newcastle, which surprised Ferguson. He originally thought that Newcastle, who were leading by two goals, could at least draw with Liverpool even if they couldn't win. He never thought that Newcastle United would be so useless, letting the opponent score three goals in a row and complete the reversal when they were leading by two goals...

Relying on others for help is really unreliable!

Ferguson decided that in the future, no matter what the result of Liverpool's game is, although he will still watch Liverpool's game, his main focus will be on observing the state of Liverpool's main players. Then, when Manchester United hosts Liverpool, they will compete with each other.

Manchester United's home game against Liverpool is in the thirty-sixth round of the league. Even if Liverpool wins all the games before this and Manchester United also wins all the games, then as long as they defeat Liverpool in this game, the two teams will have the same points.

Ferguson believed that the loss in this game would have a very important impact on Liverpool. The entire Liverpool team would definitely be devastated, and Ferguson would not be surprised if anything happened in the next two league rounds.

This is how he planned it.

But first of all, he has to ensure that his team wins.

A day later, Manchester United defeated their opponent 2:1 away and continued to closely follow their arch-rival. The two teams are still three points apart. Due to Liverpool's momentum, Manchester United has also been winning games one after another, and unknowingly, they have left Manchester City behind.

Manchester City is about to fail, and that breath is getting shorter and shorter. The gap in points from the top two is also getting bigger and bigger.

The Premier League title race this season is actually just a competition between Liverpool and Manchester United, the biggest enemies in English football.

※※※

After playing the game against Newcastle United, the entire Liverpool team did not return to Liverpool, but flew directly to Madrid, Spain.

There they rented a university stadium for training, preparing for the decisive battle against Real Madrid.

Three days later, it would be the moment that would determine their fate.

Can Liverpool eliminate Real Madrid away?

Anyway, not many people are optimistic about them. Even the English media are pessimistic about Liverpool's away trip, believing that if Liverpool wants to eliminate Real Madrid, they can only expect a miracle.

The Madrid media didn't take Liverpool seriously, but they were still a little discerning and pointed out the threat of Chen Hero.

However, their discernment is also very limited. They believe that Chen Hero's threat is at most to make Real Madrid spend a little more effort to eliminate Liverpool at home. Chen Hero can cause trouble for Real Madrid, but he cannot dominate the result. In the end, he will still be eliminated together with Liverpool. Chen Hero's only goal in this game should be to score goals and strive to expand his lead over Messi in the scorer list.

So Real Madrid's defense should pay a little attention and not give Chen Hero a chance to take advantage of it.

The Madrid media did not underestimate Chen Hero, they just had absolute confidence in Mourinho's Real Madrid.

In the first leg between the two teams, at Liverpool's home stadium, Mourinho's Real Madrid successfully contained Chen Hero, and it was not until the game was about to end that Chen Hero used a free kick to score a goal. Chen Hero had no performance in open play.

Since they can successfully freeze Chen Hero away, there is no reason why they can't defend against Chen Hero at their home...

Based on this logic, the Madrid media concluded that the trouble Chen Hero caused Real Madrid was only limited to making their advancement take a little more effort.

They felt that the gap in strength between the two teams was huge. Before the first game, they still felt that Liverpool and Real Madrid were evenly matched. Now, they completely feel that Liverpool's strength is all hyped up. Perhaps they are indeed very strong in the league, but the Champions League is not the Premier League and will not allow a few teams to dominate.

This Liverpool team is still a little too young in front of Real Madrid.

In addition, Martin O'Neill's level is far behind Mourinho's, whether it is tactical ability or psychological warfare level, Martin O'Neill is completely defeated by Mourinho.

So there is no reason to be optimistic that Liverpool will advance away.

You must know that they are facing Real Madrid, who have never lost a game at their home in the past two seasons.

If Real Madrid is the ultimate villain super invincible Big Boss, then the Bernabéu is a heavily guarded, difficult to conquer, hidden with countless mechanisms and traps, and heavily guarded ultimate Boss lair.

In the sunlight, the white Bernabéu stadium seems to exude a frightening black aura...
