Everyone felt that this matter was suspenseful, but Chen Hero didn't have such awareness.

Because his goal wasn't just ten games! His goal was fourteen games, fourteen games!

To outsiders who didn't know the inside story, Chen Hero was on the threshold of breaking a record.

But Chen Hero didn't realize this, so those negative emotional factors naturally couldn't affect him.

If this were the thirteenth game, he might have other ideas.

This tenth game, for him, was no different from the previous nine.

He just needed to score a goal.

※※※

Twenty-four minutes into the game, Chen Hero used a header in the penalty area to put the football into Middlesbrough's net.

"No suspense at all! Hero has completed his goal in this game! He has scored in ten consecutive league games! He broke Aldridge's record! He has become the player with the most consecutive games with goals in a single season in the English top league! Ten games!"

"This is a historic moment! Hero has left behind the great achievements of his predecessors at Liverpool! And he is still young, he still has a lot, a lot of time to continue running forward, surpassing more predecessors, more great records!"

"From this point of view alone, Hero has become one of the most outstanding players in Liverpool's history... He has written his name in the history of the English league, and also in the history of the Liverpool league!"

The commentators were very excited, but Chen Hero's celebration was no different from usual. He ran to the sidelines with his arms outstretched, and then dived to the ground—this was his most common celebration after a header goal.

His teammates seemed even more excited than him, rushing up and piling on top of him like a stack of arhats.

"Anfield Stadium, which witnessed this historic moment, also erupted with huge cheers! Aldridge is a Liverpool player, and so is Chen Hero! The highest record in the English top league is created by Liverpool players!"

Anfield Stadium erupted with cheers like a tsunami.

Phil Gibbs and Tom Jackson really wanted to sing a song of heroes at this time, but unfortunately most people haven't learned it yet... They haven't practiced it either, fearing that the uneven singing would greatly reduce the effect.

This song has gathered so much effort from everyone, and the first appearance must be bright enough, a hit, grand and formal, and absolutely cannot be thrown out so lightly.

They can only sing the old version of the hero's song: "Oh oh oh! Hero! Ah ah ah ah! Hero!!"

After listening to the new version of the hero's song, they all felt that the old version was just too weak...

※※※

After Chen Hero scored, everyone felt that this game was nothing to watch. The biggest suspense was revealed in twenty-four minutes. What else was there to see? Even if he scored a hat-trick, he would still score in ten consecutive games, not eleven or twelve consecutive games...

Some people even complained that Chen Hero was not understanding—we are so worried about you breaking the record, guessing back and forth, and you see how enthusiastic we are in guessing, how can you announce the answer so early? We haven't had enough fun!

But no matter what, it is an indisputable fact that Liverpool will win this game.

Martin O'Neill was very happy that Chen Hero was able to score in ten consecutive games.

But he didn't stay happy for too long, because something went wrong in the second half...

The main center-back Agger collided with the opponent's defender in a scramble, and his left knee hit the ground first when he landed. All the weight of his body was on his left knee at this time, and not only that, there was also an opposing player above his body, and then his body twisted...

Then he was carried off on a stretcher.

Martin O'Neill had no choice but to let the veteran vice-captain Carragher put on his armor and replace the injured Agger.

Martin O'Neill frowned at the time—this is what he feared the most!

Injuries!

When fighting on two fronts, being entangled in injuries is really a tearjerker!

Although Liverpool finally defeated Middlesbrough 3-0 at home with Chen Hero's two goals, Martin O'Neill was not happy at all after the game.

Because Brookner had already told him that Agger's injury was serious, and he might not recover so quickly. Further examination was not possible at present. Agger had been sent to the hospital, and he might need surgery. If surgery was required, it would probably take five or six months to recover...

This news made Martin O'Neill upset. Chen Hero's new record of scoring in ten consecutive league games couldn't make him feel better.

Hero scoring a goal was expected, but Agger's injury caught him off guard.

The team's situation has been good this season, and there have been no injuries, but after entering the Christmas schedule, Agger's injury made his heart hang.

Has the biggest enemy, injury, finally come to visit?

Agger's injury has a great impact on Liverpool, because he and Skrtel have always been the team's assistant center-back partners this season. Carragher is old, and Coates' strength is limited. It can be said that Liverpool doesn't even have very good substitute center-backs. If Agger is injured, and injured for a long time, Martin O'Neill can only choose to use Carragher to replace Agger, but Carragher is already thirty-five years old... How long can he last in the increasingly dense schedule in the second half of the season?

After the game, the English media were discussing Chen Hero's record-breaking goal.

They praised it as a historic moment, and that he has surpassed Aldridge.

"Hero's achievement of scoring in ten consecutive rounds is worth writing about, and what is even more commendable is that he did not have a single penalty in these ten rounds!"

"Aldridge scored ten goals in nine rounds of the league in a single season, while Hero? He scored eighteen goals in nine rounds of the league, and his offensive power is obviously much stronger than his predecessors..."

"How do you say that Liverpool can't be ranked at the top of the league? With such a terrifying scorer, if you encounter any obstacles, just add Chen Hero, and under the bombardment of giant cannons, even the most solid city walls will be bombarded into powder!"

Everyone was discussing Chen Hero's ten rounds of goals.

But not many people paid attention to Agger's injury.

Even the local media in Liverpool didn't care too much—it is very common for players to get injured.

The *Liverpool Echo* only used a small space to report on this matter: "... According to Liverpool's chief sports medicine doctor Brookner, Agger's injury will require surgery, and he will be unable to participate in the competition for at least five months, which also means that his season has been scrapped..."

In general, it is worth sympathizing with Agger's season-ending, but it is not a big problem. Now Liverpool's situation is like cooking oil over a raging fire, like a brocade of flowers. The attacking combination led by Chen Hero has scored fifty-six goals this season, which is the most goals scored by any team in the league. Liverpool fans don't care about the defense at all. So what if Agger is injured? We have vice-captain Carragher, and Uruguayan young center-back Coates, what are we afraid of?

Even if there is a problem with the defense, we don't have to be afraid as long as we have Hero. If we lose one goal in the back, we will score two goals in the front, and if we lose two goals in the back, we will score three goals in the front, won't that be fine?

So there is no need to worry at all.

Liverpool's situation is so good now, the league championship this season must be Liverpool's!

※※※

Liverpool fans and the media are very optimistic, and they are more willing to discuss Chen Hero's feat of scoring in ten consecutive rounds in a single season.

Martin O'Neill is completely opposite to them. Chen Hero's new record lost its meaning as soon as the game ended, and it doesn't make much sense for him to talk about it any more. But the media wants to come to him to talk about Chen Hero during this period.

He still has to be patient and deal with it, after all, this is related to Liverpool's image.

After dealing with the reporters, he began to worry about Liverpool's defense.

Agger is injured, Carragher can fill in, but in this way, the room for maneuver he can rotate is also small. If he encounters continuous battles, how long can thirty-five-year-old Carragher last?

Sebastian Coates is young, only twenty-three years old. The problem is that Martin O'Neill has not been very trusting of him, and he usually doesn't have many opportunities to play... Now at such an important time, Martin O'Neill is not too willing to entrust the heavy responsibility of defense to Coates.

So Coates has to continue to be his substitute.

Martin O'Neill can only pray now that no more players will be injured in the next game...

※※※

God must be a twisted and awkward person, because when you worry about something the most, what you worry about will definitely happen.

There is a Murphy's Law that says: When a slice of bread falls from the table, it must land butter-side down. Translated, it means - bad things that may happen, will definitely happen.

Not long after Liverpool restarted their preparations, there were more injuries.

The person who was injured this time was Şahin, Gerrard's successor.

After Şahin came to the team, because Gerrard was old and couldn't play every game, he had quite a few opportunities to play—at least more than at Real Madrid. After experiencing those years at Real Madrid, Şahin now has very low requirements, as long as he has games to play, he doesn't care whether he is a starter or a substitute.

And in the past half season, Şahin has played many games, but he has not been injured.

This seems to have made everyone forget Şahin's glass-man nature.

He sprained his ankle during training. A big lump swelled up quickly at that time.

Brookner frowned when he saw the injury, and his expression was very serious.

He knew what this kind of injury meant. This kind of sprain is the most difficult to heal and the easiest to relapse, because it means that the ligaments of the ankle may become loose and unable to tightly connect the joint parts like a healthy state.

Şahin doesn't need to be out for five or six months, but he can't recover in the short term either. And after returning, he may also face frequent injuries - this is the most serious consequence.

O'Neill saw the seriousness of the matter from Brookner's expression.

He couldn't help but curse in his heart.

The team performed too well before, and the players were like robots with their springs wound up. Now the power of the spring is gradually disappearing, and the power is a little insufficient...
