Chapter 1 The Liverpool Players Return From Hell, Facing Arsenal With Infinite Confidence and Fighting Spirit

We eliminated Real Madrid at the Bernabéu, so why would we be afraid of Arsenal?!

Kill!

Arsenal's players on the field couldn't understand why Liverpool's players were so motivated, and most importantly, they didn't show any signs of physical exhaustion…

Were they really playing two games a week for two consecutive weeks?!

It was one thing for Chen Hero to have good stamina, everyone knew that. But how did the other Liverpool players suddenly become "unstoppable" overnight?!

The power of the spirit is truly great.

Liverpool now has great confidence in its future.

Similarly, Liverpool fans are also very confident. They sang the team anthem in the stands, cheering slogans in unison.

Providing courage and motivation to the Liverpool players on the field.

Faced with such a Liverpool, at such Anfield, Arsenal only lasted for twenty-seven minutes.

In these twenty-seven minutes, they initially planned to attack, constantly impacting Liverpool's defense, using offense to wear down the physically exhausted Liverpool.

But they didn't expect that they only attacked once at the beginning of the game, and then they never had another chance… They were pressed back into their own half by Liverpool, and could only hold their heads in their hands, without the strength to fight back.

Robin van Persie didn't play as a center forward in this game, because Arsène Wenger thought Martin O'Neill should be able to see through this. Besides, Van Persie was indeed not suitable to continue as a center forward as he got older. Since he had lost his element of surprise, it would be better to play according to Arsenal's most familiar tactics.

So this time, Van Persie played a role between a shadow striker and an attacking midfielder.

But he didn't play his role. Although he looked the part, Liverpool didn't give him such an opportunity—how could Arsenal, who had been constantly suppressed, have a chance to attack and counterattack?

After holding on for twenty-seven minutes, Arsenal's goal was finally breached…

Chen Hero, returning from hell, charged into Arsenal's penalty area with a murderous aura, and then jumped high. In the air, he jumped higher than anyone else, and no one could stop him at all. At this time, he directly headed for the goal!

The football flew into Szczęsny's goal without any suspense…

※※※

"When the hero jumps up, all you can do is look up from below, watching him head the football into the goal… This goal proves this point once again!"

"Hero opens the scoring for Liverpool! Beautiful header!"

"Who said that Liverpool wouldn't rotate, and even at home, they would be very likely to lose the game? Look at this goal! Hero tells you that you were all wrong! Liverpool is still strong at Anfield!"

"I can't see any fatigue in this Liverpool team after continuous battles. They are like futuristic warriors who have just replenished their energy potions! They run actively in the game, fight hard, you can't tell at all that they are a team that has been playing two games a week with the same lineup for the past two weeks…"

The commentators held their heads in disbelief at what they were seeing.

Martin O'Neill knew very well why this was.

Because it wasn't just the Liverpool fans who gained confidence from eliminating Real Madrid away from home, but also the Liverpool players…

※※※

Liverpool did not stop moving forward because of this one goal.

After taking the lead, they continued to attack, and the attack became even more fierce.

Even if Arsenal wanted to counterattack, they couldn't free up their hands. Their hands could only protect their heads. As long as they moved a little, they might be hit in the face by Liverpool's rain-like punches.

Van Persie had a wealth of skills, but he couldn't use them. He felt extremely frustrated.

Liverpool, led by Chen Hero, continued to launch fierce attacks, and in the thirty-ninth minute, Sánchez scored the second goal with a close-range shot.

"Sánchez! Liverpool now leads Arsenal 2-0!"

"Everyone thought this would be a strong match between evenly matched teams, but who would have thought that it would turn into a one-sided game… How does Liverpool look tired at all?"

※※※

The commentator's surprised voice came from the TV: "Arsenal must not have expected Liverpool's condition to be so good, and there is no sign of playing two games a week continuously… They were hit hard by Liverpool and were dizzy…"

Alex Ferguson in front of the TV stared at the screen with a serious face.

He didn't know whether Arsenal really didn't expect it, but he was very clear that he really didn't expect it.

He didn't expect that Liverpool could still easily ravage Arsenal after playing Real Madrid away.

The key is that this is not just Chen Hero's credit. Judging from the first forty minutes of the game, all the Liverpool players have played an important role. For some balls that seemed to have a fifty-fifty chance, the Liverpool players were always able to use their fast running and strong physical impact to snatch the football. Indeed, there was no sign of fatigue at all.

This shows that it is not just Chen Hero who doesn't feel tired, but the entire Liverpool team doesn't feel tired!

This is unscientific!

Ferguson didn't believe it.

There was no reason for the entire Liverpool team to not feel tired after experiencing two consecutive weeks of two games a week, and relying on the same lineup.

At this point in the season, even if they don't play two games a week, many teams' physical fitness can't keep up, let alone cope with such a dense schedule.

There is no reason for Liverpool to be able to last longer than other teams!

Perhaps… this is just a last burst of glory? Just because the opponent is too strong, it has aroused the fighting spirit of the Liverpool players, so they are performing beyond their normal level? After this game, they will immediately deflate like a punctured tire.

Ferguson thought about it and felt that he could only accept this last answer. The others were unscientific, and only this one was the most likely and the most reasonable…

That's right, it must be like this!

The better Liverpool performs now, the worse they will be when they face us!

※※※

In the first half of the game, Liverpool led Arsenal 2-0 at home. Many commentators and commentators believed that there was no suspense in this game. Arsenal could not beat such a terrible team away from home.

The state that Liverpool showed in the first half of this game gave people the feeling that they were not playing a Premier League game, but a Champions League final.

Some even said that if Liverpool had performed like this throughout the season, they would have won the Premier League title ten rounds in advance.

However, some people were also surprised how Liverpool could still have such a great performance after playing two games a week continuously. Their thoughts were the same as Ferguson's—this must be Liverpool's last burst of glory.

They are just continuing the excellent state of the last game against Real Madrid, just an inertia.

Inertia will soon disappear, and when inertia disappears, fatigue will frantically backfire on them.

By then, they will die even more miserably.

But, for now, just let Arsenal be the poor victim…

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and Wenger made adjustments. But the adjustments he could make were actually very limited, because now that it has come to this, Arsenal is two goals behind, so how can he adjust? The room for his adjustments is very small. If Arsenal doesn't want to lose, they must attack now, and attacking will give Liverpool a chance to play a defensive counterattack.

If they don't want to lose the ball, then they will defend to the death, but they are already two goals behind, so what is the point of defending to the death?

So in the final analysis, they still have to attack.

As long as they can get one goal back first and tie the score to 1:2, there is still hope. Arsenal's morale will rise as a result, while Liverpool will fall into chaos.

They did it, Van Persie made a beautiful turn outside the penalty area, and then shot directly from a distance. The football went through Škrtel's legs and interfered with Reina's judgment, which made Reina a step late, and the football flew into the goal first.

Arsenal's morale did rise after leveling the score, which was exactly what Wenger thought, but he guessed wrong about one thing…

Liverpool did not fall into chaos!

It seems that Wenger still doesn't know enough about Liverpool…

It has been said that Liverpool in this game is like a group of demon warriors returning from hell. They have no thoughts, they only know how to kill. They will not feel fear or pain. Even if Arsenal cuts off their arms with one knife, as long as they don't cut off their heads, they will not stop their movements of waving their scythes.

This is a group of killing machines that do not know fear, will not be tired, and have no pity!

You stab them ten times, and they won't stop.

And they only need one blow to make you lose your ability to move.

Four minutes after the game restarted, Liverpool scored.

The goalscorer was Suárez, and the assist was Chen Hero.

The cooperation between Liverpool's two starting forwards extended the lead to two points again.

The Arsenal players and fans, who were still happy about getting a goal back, were now dumbfounded.

They were only happy for four minutes!

The expressions on many people's faces were very complicated, as if they were unwilling to believe such a reality and dared not accept it.

"What a terrible Liverpool…" one commentator said after seeing this scene.

"When everyone was planning to laugh at Liverpool, Liverpool conquered them with a perfect performance! At their home stadium, Liverpool leads Arsenal 3-1! The gap between the two sides has returned to two goals!"

"Just now, everyone thought Chen Hero was going to shoot, and Arsenal's defenders were all defending him, but he passed the football to Suárez and assisted Suárez to score… Such a super center who can shoot himself and assist his teammates is really a headache for many teams!"

Looking at Chen Hero hugging Suárez, Van Persie sighed helplessly.

Although he didn't want to, he had to admit that the big guy was really difficult to defeat…
