Chapter 1 Chen Hero's Fourth Goal

In the match against Portsmouth, Chen Hero staged his first hat trick of the season, and even completed a fourth goal for the first time.

However, this didn't change his situation much. After the game, the media's criticism and questioning of him continued unabated.

The most popular view was: "...Portsmouth? Scoring forty goals against such a team cannot prove that he is a reliable core player! Portsmouth will definitely be relegated at the end of this season. Winning against such a team doesn't count as anything. Hero venting his anger on Portsmouth only proves his weakness!"

Chen Hero was mentally prepared for the media's continued attacks, because he also felt that Portsmouth was not a good target to prove himself. He scored four goals against Portsmouth, and he himself was not very happy.

But after reading the media's reactions, he felt that he had underestimated the media's shamelessness—now they were all saying that he only knew how to bully teams like Portsmouth. Why didn't they mention his goals against Manchester City and Manchester United? Why didn't they mention that the opponent he defeated in the Europa League final was Inter Milan?

If I only picked on the weak, would Barcelona hate me so much?

This bunch of bastards!

In fact, whether he is worth relying on for Liverpool is not something that needs to be proven, because it is a matter for Liverpool Football Club. If Liverpool thinks he is worth relying on, then he is worth relying on. Others can't control it at all. But he can't stand so many flies buzzing in his ears... It's too annoying. So Chen Hero wanted to use practical actions to kill all these flies, so as not to continue harassing him in the future.

The game against Tottenham Hotspur is a good opportunity.

Originally, the relationship between Liverpool and Tottenham was average. They were neither friends nor enemies, just ordinary Premier League opponents.

However, all of this changed because of two transfer transactions this summer.

Liverpool poached Tottenham's beloved Gareth Bale, making Tottenham fans very unhappy with Liverpool's poaching behavior. Although they also hated Tottenham's club management, their hatred for Liverpool was not small either. They felt that if Liverpool hadn't used all means to lure Bale, how could Bale have transferred to Liverpool? You know, the Welshman had always been very happy at Tottenham. At Tottenham, he was the undisputed star, the core of the core, the number one star. Why would he give up his status here to start all over again at Liverpool? Even if Liverpool can participate in the Champions League, we believe that with Tottenham's strength, we will soon return to the Champions League!

Anyway, Tottenham fans just can't stand Liverpool.

Especially since Bale joined Liverpool and became a starter, and Liverpool's results are so good, while Tottenham has begun to decline, which makes many Tottenham fans feel unbalanced. Why are Liverpool's results so good? Even with Chen Hero, they shouldn't be like this. Liverpool had Chen Hero last season and the season before, but they didn't see them win eight consecutive games... So Tottenham fans believe that the reason Liverpool is doing so well is because of Bale's joining. Similarly, the decline in Tottenham's performance is also because Bale's departure has left Tottenham with one less powerful attacking point.

With such a comparison, many Tottenham fans feel unbalanced and sour. They feel that at least half of these victories were stolen from Tottenham.

This hatred for Liverpool is constantly fermenting and becoming stronger...

Another transfer was Richards from Manchester City to Tottenham.

The feud between Richards and Chen Hero is known to everyone in England. It has lasted for two seasons, and too many stories have happened between the two sides. Taking any one of them alone is enough to make a movie. From the initial retaliatory injury to the racial discrimination incident, to going to court, and then to Hero scoring five goals in a single game... Richards was always the big villain.

Even because of Chen Hero, Richards, the star of hope from Manchester City's youth training camp, was abandoned by Manchester City and could only transfer to Tottenham. Fortunately, because Tottenham's main right back, Kyle Walker, was injured, he is now a main player at Tottenham... But this has not reduced the resentment in his heart towards Chen Hero at all. On the contrary, it has become deeper and deeper with the accumulation of time.

Who made him leave his hometown and come to Tottenham? Chen Hero!

Who made him become everyone's laughing stock? Chen Hero!

The scenes of the past often appear in Richards' dreams. Every time he wakes up, his hatred for Chen Hero increases by one point.

As for Chen Hero, he is also very unhappy with Tottenham's practice of taking in Richards. In his opinion, a rotten person like Richards should end up in a situation where he has no ball to play and can only retire early. He didn't expect that he went to Tottenham and even became a starter!

Richards is my enemy, you take in my enemy and give him a starting position, then you are also my enemy! Don't blame me for not being merciful then!

After so many twists and turns, Richards has learned to be good. He didn't shout before the game that he would give Chen Hero a good look—this is not Manchester City anymore. If he shouts like this, it doesn't mean that it will resonate with Tottenham fans, because the feud between him and Chen Hero has to be placed in the big background of the feud between Manchester City and Liverpool. So far, the feud between Liverpool and Tottenham is not deep, and most fans don't feel anything when he shouts like this.

He kept silent.

Some media were also delighted to say that Richards had matured after experiencing a series of events.

But this is not maturity at all!

Richards is holding back a belly of bad water and wants to deal with Chen Hero!

He is already sure that he will start in this game against Liverpool.

But he plays as a full-back and will not directly confront Chen Hero. He is wondering how to solve this problem.

Richards unusually did not come out to clamor, and Chen Hero was a little strange. But since Richards didn't clamor for anything, he naturally didn't bother to waste his saliva. Anyway, he would just beat the other party severely on the field.

Don't you want to see how I prove that I am a reliable core?

Tottenham is strong enough, right? There is also a mortal enemy, Richards. Playing well in such a game and leading the team to win, you should have nothing to say, right?

※※※

The two parties did not speak, which made the media feel very boring—if you don't speak, how can we hype it up? What a great subject! The reunion of Richards and Chen Hero, one is the Liverpool core who is being controversial, and the other is a prodigal who has regained new life after changing teams. The story between these two people can be written on several whole pages!

They didn't speak, so the media ran to ask.

They ran to ask, but the two people still didn't speak, even if the media had hinted nakedly, the two people still didn't speak.

Seeing this, the reporters had no choice but to give up.

But they didn't believe that these two people wouldn't spark any sparks in the game!

Those two are definitely not the kind of people who are willing to give up!

Just wait and watch the game.

Amid everyone's expectations, Liverpool's away game against Tottenham Hotspur arrived as scheduled.

Tottenham fans created a very good home atmosphere. When Liverpool players came out, they heard deafening boos. Some fans also held up portraits of Gareth Bale and shouted: "Give us back our Bale!"

But not all fans did this. More Tottenham fans held up banners and slogans such as "Bale, you Judas!" and "Don't you ever think of us in Liverpool?" to curse Bale.

For Bale, this was the first time he met his old club on behalf of his new club since his transfer from Tottenham.

This feeling... is very complicated.

Especially when the stadium announcer called his name, there was a sudden burst of huge boos and curses. Although Tottenham fans hated the club for selling Bale, and they also hated Liverpool for poaching their players, they also hated Bale for betraying them and resolutely transferring to Liverpool—now that the media is so developed, who doesn't know about the transfer of players? Bale himself must have contributed to the transfer to Liverpool, so the fans booed him with confidence.

Hearing these boos, Bale's heart was surging.

Tottenham is not the team where he debuted, but it is the place where he has stayed the longest and achieved the greatest results. Naturally, he will have feelings, and they are very deep.

So emotionally speaking, he has some concerns about representing Liverpool in a game against Tottenham.

In addition, as soon as he arrived, he saw so many fans holding up banners and scolding him as Judas, saying that he was greedy for money, as if he was really a traitor.

This made his mood even more depressed.

Before this game, Bale's return to White Hart Lane was actually the focus of everyone's attention. Martin O'Neill was very good at dealing with people and blocked a lot of pressure for Bale.

But he always has to face it. Is it possible that he won't play in any Liverpool vs. Tottenham games in the future?

But returning to White Hart Lane and seeing the fans who once cheered and worshiped him now with a different face, glaring at him, he still felt a little sour in his heart...

Am I wrong to pursue a better future? I have played for Tottenham for so many years, helped Tottenham reach the Champions League knockout stage, and helped Tottenham gain world recognition... I think I am worthy of every penny that Tottenham has given me, and I am also worthy of every cheer you have given me. I don't owe you anything. Why are you so against me when I choose to fight for my own goals?

Of course, I also want to be loyal to Tottenham for the rest of my life, but Tottenham is not willing!

Bale was entangled in his heart. In the midst of the huge boos and curses, he couldn't help but lower his head, not wanting to look at the faces that once smiled at him becoming so ferocious, and not willing to listen to those harsh voices.

At this moment, a hand was placed on his shoulder.

"Raise your head, Great Sage." Chen Hero, who was standing next to him, said. "You don't owe anyone anything, you don't have to do this. You must show them your best condition in this game! Those who scold you and boo you just want to see you in a bad state, so they will be happy, so you can't let them get what they want. Besides, what about those who support you? Although there are few of them, you can't let them down either. So raise your head, Great Sage. Tell everyone that you are doing well, so that those who care about you can rest assured, and those who hate you will be upset! Because they are upset, we are happy, hahaha!"

In Chen Hero's words, Bale raised his head again.

This time he bravely looked at the stands.

He saw a banner.

"Gareth, no matter where you are, we will always love you!"

All around were signs of "traitor" and "Judas", but in the midst of the scolding, this banner was very conspicuous, allowing him to see it at a glance.

Hero is right, even if it is a minority, I can't let those fans who still support me and like me down.

He straightened his chest, raised his head slightly, and bravely and stubbornly greeted those boos and curses, his eyes fixed on the banner that loved him.
