For the "Red Bears," setting the song didn't mean they could immediately move to the Anfield stands for a massive chorus.

After all, only a few key members and managers had heard it. They needed to get the song to all the Red Bears members and have them learn to sing it.

To that end, they posted the song on their fan club's website and sent emails to every registered member, reminding them to visit the website and pay attention to the matter.

Members could listen online or download it to their devices. The lyrics were also provided so everyone could follow along and learn.

They were striving to learn the song as quickly as possible so they could use it to cheer for Chen Hero in the stadium.

Of course, this would take time…it couldn’t be rushed.

In their last league game before Christmas, Liverpool easily defeated Swansea 3:1 away. Chen Hero had one goal and one assist.

After the game, the media exclaimed in surprise again.

Because Chen Hero had surpassed his own record from the 2011-2012 season of scoring in eight consecutive league games.

Although the single-season consecutive goal-scoring record was not his own, this was already amazing.

Because in the Premier League, the most anyone had managed was eight games. Aldridge's record was set in the First Division era.

In the Premier League alone, Chen Hero's nine consecutive games with a goal had set a new record. If all of England's top-tier leagues were included, he had already tied Aldridge. Just one more game, and he could create a brand-new record of his own!

Ten consecutive games with a goal in a single season!

It was at this moment that the slow-reacting media finally realized Chen Hero's ambition!

He wanted to set a new record!

That was why they were so surprised.

They pointed out that although Chen Hero had once set a record of scoring in thirteen consecutive league games, that was across seasons. In a single season, no one had ever managed to score in more than nine consecutive games.

So Chen Hero had a good chance!

However, they still underestimated Chen Hero's determination and ability.

The task required fourteen consecutive games.

After the game against Swansea, the entire Liverpool team attended the club's Christmas dinner.

At this time last year, Chen Hero revealed his ambition to score at least twenty goals in a single season of the Europa League. In the end, Chen Hero far exceeded that goal, scoring thirty goals in the Europa League!

So, what new, terrifying plan did Chen Hero have this year?

Everyone at the dinner was concerned about this issue, second only to their concern about the various bonuses promised by club owner Chen Xing.

"Really, nothing. Nothing at all." Chen Hero shook his head in response to his teammates' questions. "This year, I want to be low-key, very low-key..."

Suarez scoffed at Chen Hero's words.

"Even if the world ends, you can't be low-key, Hero!"

Chen Hero rolled his eyes. "Anyway, I don't have any special plans. Just playing as usual, winning game after game, and... trying to bring a league title back to Liverpool fans."

"Isn't that the team's goal for this season anyway?" Sanchez asked strangely.

"Yeah, that's my goal too!" Chen Hero nodded.

"Tch, how boring!" Skrtel waved his hand.

"Alright, nothing to see here."

Everyone left Chen Hero's side.

"Hey, what's with this attitude?!" Just now he was surrounded by everyone, and in the blink of an eye, he was all alone. Chen Hero was depressed. What a bunch of pragmatic people!

After a while, Suarez sneaked back and asked Chen Hero mysteriously, "You really don't have any big plans?"

His expression was like a secret agent making contact.

"Don't worry, I definitely won't blab it to anyone this time!" He made a zipping-his-lips gesture.

Chen Hero shrugged, shook his head, and spread his hands. "Really nothing..."

"Really?"

"If I'm lying, may I be struck by lightning!" Chen Hero raised his hand and swore.

"Come on, bark twice!"

"Get lost!"

In Chen Hero's roar, Suarez fled in panic.

Chen Hero actually had many plans, but he couldn't tell his teammates about them, because he wanted to complete them on his own. He didn't want the whole team to help him. Although that would prove he was well-liked, it would also make others look down on him, thinking he was just pushed to the top by his teammates.

If he was going to prove himself, then he would prove himself thoroughly, leaving everyone speechless, and preventing anyone from finding even the slightest fault with him, even with a microscope!

So, he had to disappoint his teammates.

Actually, he knew everyone meant well, and he should be grateful to them. But... for now, he could only be grateful to them in his heart. He appreciated their concern, but these tasks... he had to complete them himself.

※※※

In fact, not only his teammates, but even Martin O'Neill and Chen Xing, and Niang were expecting something to happen at the dinner, for Chen Hero to reveal his earth-shattering plan, just like last year.

Because they all felt that Chen Hero was not one to be content with mediocrity.

He would definitely stir up something surprising.

Like this time, scoring in nine consecutive games without a word, tying Liverpool legend Ian Rush's record.

He had never said anything about it before, and no one had expected so much at first.

Who would have thought it would actually reach nine games...

But in the end, neither Suarez nor Chen Hero went on stage.

It seemed Chen Hero really didn't have any ideas this time.

Martin O'Neill felt a little disappointed in his heart.

At this dinner, Liverpool Football Club internally unified their understanding and determined that winning the league title was the top priority.

Currently, the team was ranked first in the league, occupying that position for fifteen rounds, and hadn't lost it yet. At this point, if they still didn't dare to say they were competing for the league title, it would be too pretentious. Of course, they could humbly say to the outside world that they were not contenders for the league title, but that was to confuse the enemy. If they didn't make it clear within the team, it might affect the team's morale and make the players have other thoughts, thinking that the club didn't intend to win the championship, and naturally wouldn't be as strict with themselves.

This momentum could not be lost.

Announcing the goal of winning the league title might bring some pressure to the players, but the positive effects would definitely outweigh the negative ones.

So, the first thing at the dinner was Chen Xing announcing the bonus distribution plan if the team won the league title.

To stimulate the team to win the league title, Chen Xing was extremely generous this time, taking out five million pounds as a reward for winning the league title. It should be known that even a wealthy team like Chelsea, their Premier League title bonus was only 2.6 million pounds...

The bonus incentive was huge. Hearing that the boss was going to take out so much money to reward everyone, the players' emotions soared, and they were eager to try, wishing that tomorrow would be the last round of the league, and then everyone would defeat their opponents, win the historic league title, and divide up the five million pounds!

Christmas dinner is meant to enhance the players' sense of belonging to the club, relax everyone's emotions, and boost morale.

This Christmas dinner basically achieved its purpose. Liverpool's morale was already high, and didn't need much boosting, but they needed to relax.

The best way to relax was to tell everyone that there would be a lot of money to be made at the end of the season if they completed their goals.

After the Christmas dinner, Liverpool returned to training and preparations.

At the same time, the draw results for the Champions League knockout stage were also released.

Liverpool was not drawn against either of the two major Champions League favorites.

They were drawn against Juventus, a powerhouse from Serie A.

The media said that the UEFA draw had no novelty at all. The Premier League was bound to meet a Serie A team, and in any case, the teams from these two leagues would fight each other, ultimately benefiting La Liga.

This draw could definitely not be considered a good draw. Although Juventus had declined for a while in the previous years due to the match-fixing scandal, they had now risen strongly. In the first season after Chen Hero left Naples and Serie A, Juventus had even won the league title with an undefeated record, announcing their return as kings.

Juventus focused on stability, and this team was very good at fighting tough battles.

Many teams least wanted to meet Juventus.

If Liverpool wanted to go further in the Champions League, Juventus was a hurdle that they had to overcome.

However, the competition for the league title was probably also starting to heat up at that time. If they were distracted by both, they might... run into problems!

In the last game of the first half of the season, Liverpool played Middlesbrough at home. This was originally a very ordinary league game. It was not a clash between strong teams, and promoted team Middlesbrough definitely did not have the strength to defeat Liverpool away.

But everyone was still paying attention, because of Chen Hero.

Before this game, Chen Hero had scored in nine consecutive league games, and in these nine league games, he had scored a total of eighteen goals.

An average of two goals per game.

This record allowed him to tie Ian Rush's single-season record of scoring in nine consecutive games.

As long as he could continue to score in the game against Middlesbrough, he could create a single-season consecutive goal-scoring record of his own.

Everyone was anxiously waiting to see if Chen Hero could create a record, or if... he would be defeated by the enormous pressure and fall before the finish line?

Such things were common. After all, the great sense of accomplishment from setting a record was a dangerous temptation, which could become both a motivation and an obstacle.

Players might not be able to concentrate on the game on the field because they cared too much about the record. Or they might be too eager to score because of the pressure.

But those who play football all know that haste makes waste. You can't just score a goal whenever you want.

A calm mind is the most important thing.

But how many people can maintain a calm mind in the face of such a great temptation for success?

Those who can are all old guys who have experienced great storms. Could a young, energetic player maintain a calm mind?

So, breaking the record was actually quite suspenseful.
