"Look at this free kick, let's see what Hero will do... Goal! Goal!!"

On the TV screen, the football shot by Chen Hero rolled into the goal along the grass, causing the commentator to exclaim.

"Liverpool pulled back a goal! Unbelievable, the second half has only just started for less than ten minutes, and Liverpool have already pulled one back! Now they are only one goal behind!"

The commentator roared excitedly.

Chen Hero, who scored the goal, didn't go anywhere. He just stood there, raised his right hand high again, and then clenched it into a fist.

He was using this method to remind the Newcastle United fans—you called my name, and I responded to your call! You are the ones who wanted me to help Liverpool!

This was truly a slap in the face!

Liverpool fans cheered and jumped, while Newcastle United fans turned green.

The Newcastle United fans were indeed not feeling well at this moment, with embarrassment, displeasure, regret, and other negative emotions intertwined, making for a complex feeling.

They were indeed provoking and mocking Chen Hero before. But they never believed that Chen Hero would take their prank-like chanting of his name seriously—no player would be so petty with the fans. But Chen Hero just had to do it, and he really responded, and scored a goal!

※※※

Liverpool fans in front of the TV burst into laughter when they saw Chen Hero making this gesture after scoring a goal, feeling so proud!

When they heard the Newcastle United fans imitating them on TV when they were two goals behind, those Liverpool fans couldn't wait to rush to the stadium and teach those damned "Geordies" a lesson. But they couldn't, so they could only curse at the other side in front of the TV, knowing that no matter how fiercely they cursed, the other side couldn't hear them, making their retaliation completely ineffective...

Now that they saw Chen Hero using a goal and this celebration to slap the Newcastle fans in the face, the Liverpool fans were naturally very happy.

Excited, they all said that at the critical moment, they still had to rely on Chen Hero, whether it was to win the victory for the team, or to help them slap those rival fans in the face.

How does a player win the support and love of the fans of his team? In addition to scoring goals constantly, standing up for the fans in crucial situations is also an important point.

Chen Hero can not only score goals, but also stand up for the fans, so in the eyes of the fans, he is simply the perfect embodiment.

※※※

The Newcastle United fans were stunned when Chen Hero raised his right fist. They didn't expect Chen Hero to be so petty. It was rare to see a professional player being so narrow-minded.

But they quickly came back to their senses—we are the ones who are leading now! What reason do we have to be afraid of him? Even if he scored a goal, we are still leading by one goal! This is our home stadium, can our team let them equalize, or even... reverse the score right under our noses?

Don't be ridiculous!

Such a thing is absolutely impossible to happen!

So the Newcastle United fans quickly started booing and cursing Chen Hero again.

Chen Hero turned a deaf ear to them. He put away his right fist, turned around and ran back, and was then swept up by his teammates.

Surrounded by everyone, he said to his teammates: "We are only one goal behind, we are only one goal behind!"

Gerrard was also cheering everyone on: "We scored a goal at the beginning of the second half, they must be panicking now, try to score another goal as soon as possible! This way, Newcastle United will definitely collapse!"

"Yes! That's right! So what if it's their home stadium? We can still beat them!"

"If we lose this game, we may be overtaken by Manchester United! So we must not lose... No! We must win!"

The other players also shouted loudly to encourage their teammates, and also to encourage themselves.

After the game restarted, Liverpool, who had pulled back a goal, were in high spirits and actually took the initiative in the away game, suppressing Newcastle United and launching a fierce attack on their goal.

This aggressive attack was indeed unacceptable to Newcastle United.

At first, they wanted to use their own attack and home advantage to push Liverpool back again and regain the initiative in the game.

But they launched several attacks without threatening Liverpool's goal, which instead caused their own goal to sound the alarm frequently.

Newcastle United coach Alan Pardew also saw that if they continued to attack like this, Newcastle United would be in a bad situation. It was obvious that Liverpool was on a roll now. If they didn't know what was good for them and kept pressing forward to attack, they would only provide more gaps for the opponent.

Taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, he called the player closest to him to his side, gave him instructions, and then asked him to relay them to the other Newcastle United players.

When this Newcastle United player returned to the field, everyone soon saw that Newcastle United had abandoned their previous style of play and switched to defensive counterattacks, first consolidating their defense, and then looking for opportunities to counterattack.

Alan Pardew's approach was correct. After all, Newcastle United was still in the lead—leading by one goal was still leading. At this time, as long as their defense didn't have any problems and they didn't concede a goal, even if Newcastle United didn't score any more goals after that, they would still be able to win the game. Liverpool was different. With the league at this point, Liverpool couldn't afford to lose, and they couldn't afford to draw. They would definitely do their best to attack in the following game, even going all out. In this way, as long as Newcastle could ensure that they didn't concede a goal, they would have plenty of opportunities to launch counterattacks against Liverpool, and there would be a high chance of scoring.

※※※

It must be said that Alan Pardew's ideas and strategies were all fine.

The only problem was... he greatly underestimated the fighting power and the determination to win that the entire Liverpool team could unleash when they were pushed to the brink.

Yes, for Liverpool, this was the brink...

If they lost the game, and Manchester United won, they would be tied on points. If they drew, and Manchester United won, they would only be one point ahead.

If this doesn't count as the brink, then what does?

Even if Newcastle United tightened their defense, they couldn't stop Liverpool. After all, Liverpool had the best candidate to break through a dense defense—Chen Hero!

At the beginning, the Newcastle United players followed the coach's instructions and tightened their defense, but in their hearts, they were still thinking about attacking, still wanting to score another goal and completely lock in the victory. As for Liverpool's attack, they didn't take it to heart at all, thinking that we have already followed the coach's instructions to defend densely, how can you Liverpool still score our goal? I'm afraid that before you score our goal, we will score your goal first...

The Newcastle United players were defending, but their minds were on attacking.

They quickly paid the price for their distraction.

"Hero... he dribbled the ball and killed it! He dribbled the ball!"

The commentator exclaimed.

It's no wonder he was so surprised, it was really rare to see Chen Hero dribbling the ball!

This was almost like O'Neal dribbling the ball from the backcourt to the opponent's basket and then doing a three-step layup.

Chen Hero's sudden turn to dribble the ball, without passing or shooting, caught the Newcastle United players off guard and caught them by surprise.

Under the shock, the reaction was naturally excessive. All the Newcastle United players, seeing Chen Hero dribbling the ball towards their penalty area, only felt a surge of heat rushing to the top of their heads, and their minds were filled with only one thought.

"Stop him!"

If Chen Hero dribbled past several people and scored the goal, how could the Newcastle United players bear it? Where would they put their faces?

A group of people rushed towards Chen Hero, and at first glance, it looked as if Chen Hero was a strong magnet, and the Newcastle United players were all iron nails.

Just as they were rushing towards Chen Hero, Chen Hero passed the football through the gaps between them!

Everyone came to defend themselves, so no one would defend the other Liverpool players...

Chen Hero still understood such a simple principle.

※※※

The football was passed by Chen Hero to Suarez's feet.

The "Because of Friendship" talent not only works when friends pass the ball to Chen Hero, but also when Chen Hero passes the ball to friends.

Increase the chance of scoring by ten percent!

Suarez stopped the ball a little too much. Stopping the ball a little too much in the penalty area is fatal, it will make you lose a great shooting opportunity.

But at this moment, the "Because of Friendship" talent came into play!

When Suarez saw that the ball had stopped too far, he didn't bother to make any adjustments, and immediately rushed up and shoveled it!

At the same time, Newcastle United goalkeeper Krul also rushed out to block Suarez's shot!

But he couldn't block it. Suarez shoveled the ball first, and it rolled into the goal from under his armpit!

※※※

"Goal... goal! Goal!"

"Ten minutes after Chen Hero pulled a goal back for Liverpool, Suarez scored another goal for Liverpool! Liverpool equalized the score!! Newcastle United's two-goal lead disappeared in ten minutes!"

After scoring the goal, Suarez didn't go to celebrate. He got up directly from the ground, staggered into the goal, and then grabbed the football in his arms before the Newcastle United players could, and turned around and ran towards the center circle.

Although there were still more than twenty minutes before the end of the game, in Suarez's eyes, it was clear that time was of the essence now.

St. James' Park, which was still very lively before... oh no, now it should be called Sports Direct Arena.

The Sports Direct Arena, which was still very lively just now, has now fallen into dead silence—except for the cheers of a few Liverpool fans, none of the Newcastle United fans in the entire stadium made a sound.

This time they didn't even boo!

Because a very terrifying thought was gradually emerging from the depths of their minds.

We... are not going to lose to them at home, are we?
