Liverpool now has several players on yellow cards. If they aren't careful in the game, they could easily pick up a second yellow and be sent off, which would be even worse for Liverpool.

But at this moment, the Liverpool players can't afford to worry about that. All they can think about is how to defeat Real Madrid.

If they don't defeat Real Madrid, then all the sacrifices they've made will be meaningless, won't they?

To give so much, only to be eliminated in the end—Liverpool would become the laughingstock of all of Europe!

Down a man?

So what? We'll just run a little more!

Anyway, it was Suárez who got sent off. His absence doesn't affect the team's defense. As for the attack... our two wingers are still intact, and one Chen Hero in the middle is enough!

People quickly noticed that after the game restarted, Liverpool, despite being short a man, was even more aggressive than before. Real Madrid, caught off guard by Liverpool's sudden burst of energy, was temporarily pushed back.

It looked as if Liverpool had an extra player, and Real Madrid was the one missing someone...

In fact, all the Liverpool players knew that if they didn't seize the moment while they still had some energy, they might not have the strength to fight later on...

And Chen Hero was right, all they needed was one goal, just one goal... one goal could send Real Madrid to hell!

※※※

The Real Madrid players were completely unprepared for Liverpool's ferocity. Being a man down, they still dared to press forward, as if they weren't afraid of the gaps in their defense.

Not only them, but even the Real Madrid fans didn't expect Liverpool to do this after losing a player.

But they quickly realized—this was a perfect opportunity to score!

Liverpool was playing a desperate game, perhaps blinded by anger. In any case, it was more advantageous for Real Madrid...

As long as they seized the opportunity of Liverpool's all-out attack and launched a counterattack...

Everyone turned their eyes to Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo was the most suitable person for a counterattack; his speed was a lethal weapon!

The Real Madrid players were already looking forward to the beautiful moment of breaking Liverpool's goal with a counterattack.

The quick counterattack was the signature move of Mourinho's Real Madrid, infallible and never failing.

If Liverpool played like this, Real Madrid would be doing themselves a disservice by not counterattacking...

※※※

Dreams are always beautiful, but reality is often cruel.

The Real Madrid fans might not realize it yet, but the Real Madrid players soon felt the pressure. They had indeed shared the same thought as the fans, believing that with Real Madrid pressing forward, they would have a chance to counterattack. They were all itching to score in a quick counterattack. They were too familiar with such counterattacks; it had become a habit. They didn't need to devise any strategies beforehand. When the opportunity for a counterattack arose, everyone knew how to run and how to pass the ball.

Everything was ready, just waiting for the chance.

But they soon realized that this opportunity might be difficult to come by...

Because Liverpool's relentless bombardment prevented them from even crossing midfield!

Everything was turned upside down. Before, Real Madrid was pressing Liverpool, preventing them from crossing midfield, but now it was their turn to be suppressed by Liverpool, unable to lift their heads...

This wasn't the kind of feigned defense for the sake of a counterattack. They were truly suppressed, unable to raise their heads. They had opportunities to counterattack, but they just couldn't seize them because they were powerless to do so!

Watching this scene, the English commentator exclaimed, "Regardless of the outcome of this game, just looking at this scene, we can say that Liverpool is truly a team on par with Real Madrid... In today's world football, those who can fight fiercely with Real Madrid and Barcelona must be super teams! So we don't need to dwell on the outcome of the game. Even if Liverpool ultimately loses to Real Madrid, we can hold our heads high. The loss of one game cannot stop the resurgence of this team! If they don't succeed this year, they will definitely go further next year!"

Although this English commentator was a Liverpool supporter, his words made some Liverpool fans feel uneasy—the game wasn't over yet, so why was he already reciting a eulogy?

Of course, you couldn't blame the commentator for saying that. After all, the situation was indeed very bad for Liverpool. Even many Liverpool fans had begun to find excuses for their team's failure—playing away, Gerrard injured, Suárez sent off, the referee biased towards the home team... With so many unfavorable factors stacked up, wouldn't their elimination be unbelievable?

But the Liverpool players on the field simply refused to accept such a prearranged outcome.

We've fought so hard, paid so much, not to be eliminated!

Chen Hero raised his hand in the penalty area, calling for the ball. He wasn't afraid of the Real Madrid defenders knowing that he would be the destination of all of Liverpool's passes. In fact, it was no longer a secret. Instead of hiding it, it was better to show it openly, which was in line with Chen Hero's thinking—I'm telling you plainly that I'm going to play this way, see if you can defend against it!

Pepe and Varane were indeed having a hard time defending.

Logically, it shouldn't be like this. After Suárez was sent off, the two center-backs could spare some attention to Suárez, and instead focus on defending Chen Hero without any worries.

But unexpectedly, they were now even more uncomfortable.

Whether it was heading duels, shots in the penalty area, long shots from outside the penalty area, or turning breakthroughs... Chen Hero used all his skills, making them exhausted and unable to cope.

Pepe was now considered a world-class center-back, and Varane was praised by Mourinho as the core of Real Madrid's defense for the next ten years. Yet the two of them together were so embarrassed!

Was it because they weren't strong enough? No, it was because Chen Hero had gone berserk!

Going berserk meant going all out, constantly improving one's strength and state, surpassing one's usual performance.

In the current situation, Chen Hero couldn't win without going berserk...

He had to.

He had to use all his abilities to defeat this powerful enemy in front of him.

The other Liverpool players were also well aware of this. After Gerrard and Suárez left the field one after another, the only person who could defeat Real Madrid was Chen Hero.

To defeat Real Madrid, they had to pass the ball to Chen Hero.

So at this moment, the game seemed like a contest between Chen Hero alone and Real Madrid.

But in fact, behind Chen Hero stood the entire Liverpool team!

※※※

Real Madrid strengthened their aerial and wing defense. It was now not easy for Liverpool to directly cross the ball from the wings to feed Chen Hero.

After this simple and crude method didn't work, they had to find another way.

Their method was... to pass the ball directly to Chen Hero. Of course, Chen Hero wasn't receiving the ball in the penalty area. Instead, he had to pull out, receiving the ball with his back to the goal outside the area.

This wasn't a receiving action that a center forward should often do, but unfortunately, this was the only way to ensure that the ball reached Chen Hero's feet.

Chen Hero didn't care. What others didn't see as an opportunity might be an opportunity for him.

Besides, wasn't it just receiving the ball with his back to the goal?

This was something I was very familiar with!

Chen Hero ran out of the penalty area again and raised his hand for the ball.

Sahin passed the ball directly to him, and he received the ball once again with his back to the attacking direction.

Pepe was already behind him, pushing him with one hand, but his body didn't stick close. He knew Chen Hero's power. Receiving the ball with his back to the goal didn't mean he couldn't shoot.

So the best way was to maintain a certain distance so that he could defend against whatever Chen Hero did.

After getting the ball, Chen Hero leaned back.

Pepe had been pushing Chen Hero forward. After realizing Chen Hero's intention, he suddenly withdrew his hand—you want to use force backwards? I'll make you have nowhere to exert your force!

But unexpectedly, Pepe saw a surprising scene—Chen Hero, who was exerting force backwards, stopped abruptly. His upper body was like a piece of iron, stopping as soon as he said stop, without any sign of inertia.

He should have been leaning back, but he suddenly stopped.

Taking advantage of Pepe's lack of reaction, he dribbled the ball to the right and turned around!

From leaning back to stillness to turning around, the whole movement was completed in one go, with almost no obvious stagnation.

What terrifying core strength!

When Pepe realized that Chen Hero had turned around in this way, he quickly turned around to chase.

But because Chen Hero's mechanical dance-like movement had such a great impact on him... he seemed unprepared for the chase. When he tried to push off with his legs, he slipped and fell!

"Ah! Ah! Pepe slipped! This is really fatal!"

"Pepe slipped at the most critical moment! It's unbelievable! He's opened the door for Real Madrid!"

"Hero! He broke through! He's in! He shook off Pepe, who slipped and fell!"

"Varane rushed out from behind Pepe, intending to organize Chen Hero..."

Amidst the exclamations of the commentators, Chen Hero dribbled the ball into the penalty area. Facing Varane, who was rushing up from the side, he didn't hesitate and shot directly!

Before Varane's long legs could arrive, he kicked the ball towards the goal!

This time, even if Casillas was truly a god, he would pierce the goal guarded by the god!
