The 2013-2014 season had ended, and there were many things worth remembering.

Years later, when everyone recalls this season, they will surely realize that it was a major turning point. In this season, Liverpool won the Premier League title for the first time. A giant that had been dormant for a long time awakened, yawned, and then stretched. That simple action shook the entire Premier League like an earthquake. What changes will their subsequent actions bring to the Premier League?

Ferguson was old. No matter how much he persevered, he couldn't continue forever. Just like Martin O'Neill said at the press conference, the past glory belonged to Manchester United, but Liverpool held the future in their hands.

In this season, Liverpool not only won a league title, but also broke a series of records, including Chelsea's record of 103 goals in a single season, set in the 2009-2011 season. Liverpool's new record was 105 goals. In addition, they also broke the single-season points record held by Chelsea. In the 2004-2005 season when Chelsea won the league title, under Mourinho's leadership, they scored a record-breaking ninety-five points, but now this record is also history. The new record belonged to Liverpool, who scored one hundred and two points, becoming the team in Premier League history most capable of grabbing points.

At the same time, Chen Hero scored fifty-seven goals in a single season and won the Golden Boot. He was the player with the most goals in a single season in Premier League history. In the entire history of the English top league, his single-season goal count also ranked second, only three goals behind Dixie Dean's sixty goals.

Many people felt sorry for Chen Hero. If he had worked harder, he might have broken Dixie Dean's record.

Because such a good opportunity, who knows when you will encounter it again.

Fifty-seven goals, only three goals away! Did you think Chen Hero could easily score fifty-seven goals every season?!

Others were anxious for him, but Chen Hero didn't care.

These kinds of things were small matters to him. Rich people like to say, "Problems that money can solve are not problems," while Chen Hero believed that "problems that can be solved by scoring goals alone don't count as problems."

Whether it was winning several Golden Boots in a row, or being a record-breaking Golden Boot winner, these were things that could be decided by scoring goals alone. For Chen Hero, this was not a difficult problem.

If he didn't break the record this season, there was next season. If next season didn't work, there was the season after that... There would always be a day when he could break the record.

Wasn't it just sixty goals? If he put his all into one season, he didn't believe he couldn't break it!

There were many other records belonging to Liverpool and Chen Hero this season. For example, Chen Hero's five hat tricks in a single season not only broke Liverpool's team history record, but also broke the Premier League record—Alan Shearer scored five hat tricks for Blackburn in the 1995-1996 season, four of which were at home and one away. Of course, although Chen Hero scored hat tricks in two consecutive games in the thirty-sixth and thirty-seventh rounds of the league, he was not the fastest player in Premier League history to score two consecutive hat tricks. This honor belonged to Les Ferdinand, who played for Queens Park Rangers at the time. That was in the inaugural year of the Premier League in 1992-93. Les Ferdinand scored hat tricks in two consecutive games during Easter, against Nottingham Forest on April 10th, and two days later in an away game against Everton.

However, it was a bit difficult for Chen Hero to break this record, because it not only depended on his personal strength, but also on the schedule. Because it was almost impossible to have a league schedule with only one day apart...

In addition, Chen Hero's ten braces in a single season also set a new Premier League record.

More unforgettable was his world record of scoring in twenty-five consecutive league rounds.

Creating a record was not difficult or rare, but so many records appeared on Chen Hero and Liverpool, so one could not help but think about a question—was Liverpool's success a fluke, as Ferguson said?

Whether it was a fluke or not, wouldn't we know next season?

The season had ended, and Liverpool fans could be happy for a whole summer until the new season arrived. The players could also go on vacation to distant places with satisfaction and relaxation. However, Niang, as the club's general manager, could not rest.

And it wasn't just Niang alone. The managers of other teams had also begun to prepare for next season.

Searching everywhere in the transfer market, meeting with star players they had long been optimistic about, bargaining with the other club, and also dealing with many business contracts, finalizing sponsorship contracts for next season, participating in the formulation of next season's ticket prices... In short, these people had to manage everything related to the operation of the club.

At the same time, in order to allow the team to achieve good results next season, they had to do these things as soon as possible, and there was almost no vacation to speak of.

For people like them, the new season had already begun.

Liverpool's outstanding performance this season allowed the sponsor Nike to taste the sweetness. They found that cooperating with Chen Hero was a worthwhile deal. When they signed Chen Hero before, Chen Hero's reputation in the world football scene was not as high as it was now, but as soon as they signed Chen Hero, he became awesome, scoring goals one after another, winning championship trophies, and breaking records continuously... Now, with the growth of Chen Hero's reputation, Nike's brand image had also been well promoted.

Now, sponsoring Liverpool had also yielded a lot.

Most importantly, Nike felt very good when they thought of their old rival Adidas regretting Liverpool's performance.

In fact, Adidas really regretted it. In the beginning, they let Chen Hero go, and Chen Hero's performance surprised them. Later, they were originally Liverpool's jersey sponsor. Chen Hero's transfer to Liverpool was equivalent to becoming their spokesperson in disguise, and they didn't need to pay Chen Hero any transfer fees. As long as there were pictures of Chen Hero wearing a Liverpool jersey in the game, it was equivalent to giving Adidas a free advertisement. This was such a good thing.

But Adidas had a brain cramp, thinking that Liverpool's results were not good, and the decline was serious. Such performance was not worthy of their sponsorship. After the contract expired, they decided not to renew with Liverpool. It seemed that they felt that they were one of the top two big brands in the sports movement industry. Sponsoring the down-and-out Liverpool really made them feel ashamed. Liverpool did not match their brand value and image.

But if you say that, they should first cancel the sponsorship contract with the Chinese football team, because the Chinese football team's results and those rotten things are even more inconsistent with Adidas' brand value and image... But why does Adidas still sponsor them? To put it bluntly, because the Chinese market is vast.

But Adidas was also miserable enough. It seemed that they were always out of touch with Chen Hero. Since they took the initiative to reject Chen Hero, they could no longer connect with Chen Hero. Chen Hero went to Liverpool, but they no longer renewed their contract with Liverpool. They sponsored the Chinese team all the time, but the Chinese team never recruited Chen Hero... It really made the German sports industry giant, who had intended to use Chen Hero's huge popularity in the Chinese market, very depressed.

And Liverpool's current performance almost made Adidas vomit blood three liters.

Liverpool's performance this season was too dazzling. No one would have thought that two seasons ago, Liverpool was still struggling for a Europa League spot.

Now the whole of Europe, and even the world, was discussing Liverpool. Photos and scenes of Liverpool players wearing Nike's new jersey frequently appeared in newspapers, magazines, and TV news programs.

Around the world, more and more fans were wearing Liverpool jerseys. Originally, Adidas' position in the industry was not as good as Nike's. It had changed from the world's number one to the world's number two. Now that they had lost Chen Hero and Liverpool, their influence began to decline, while Nike was thriving...

Later, it was said that there was a personnel change in the Adidas high-level. The high-level officials who were responsible for negotiating and signing Chen Hero, and who decided not to renew their contract with Liverpool, all left their jobs... But what does this kind of thing have to do with Chen Hero and Liverpool?

The holidays had begun. His teammates had all left. Even Carragher, who had just retired, was in a good mood and took his family to Mallorca, Spain, for a vacation to enjoy a rare leisure time.

Chen Hero was not in a hurry to go on vacation. He had another thing to deal with, and he had to deal with it well—he had to treat Taylor Swift, who had come to Liverpool specifically to sing at the team's championship celebration, to a meal. Taylor Swift came here to cheer for Liverpool because of Chen Hero, didn't she? It was fine not to give her a labor fee, and it was fine not to reimburse her for round-trip airfare and accommodation. Taylor Swift only asked Chen Hero to treat herself to a meal. What a trivial reward that was. Therefore, Chen Hero had to treat this meal.

This was a private banquet. There was no one else, only Taylor Swift and him, and... his girlfriend, Christine Cabrella.

It was Taylor Swift who took the initiative to ask Chen Hero to bring Christine Cabrella. Although Chen Hero was a little surprised, he agreed without hesitation. Because even if Taylor Swift didn't say it, he would bring her—if he went out on a date with a woman, but didn't call his girlfriend and left her alone at home, even if Chen Hero was stupid, he wouldn't do such a heartless thing.

This would be Cabrella's first time facing Taylor Swift face-to-face.

They had never been able to get together before.

When Chen Hero became acquainted with Taylor Swift on the set, Cabrella was not by his side. When he returned to Liverpool to see Cabrella, Taylor Swift had already left the set and returned to the United States. Later, he went to the United States with the team to play in a friendly match. Taylor Swift came to watch the game in person, and the two of them had a date after the game. Cabrella was not by his side at that time either. Later, when the new film was released, at the premiere ceremony, Taylor Swift arrived shortly after Christine Cabrella left. The two of them did not meet.

Although they had learned about each other from Chen Hero, or through other channels, such as news reports, they had never met.

Now, the King was finally going to meet the Queen...
