Volume One: Heroes Haunt, People Pay Attention Chapter 324 "The Silent City" Old Trafford (Third Update, Please Vote for Me)
When Chen Yingxiong used his best right foot to pump the football into the Manchester United goal, coach Ferguson did not make any drastic action. His body just shook, and then he continued to stand on the sidelines, starting from his There is no expression on his face, and only those who are most familiar with him may be able to tell the difference - he chews gum much faster than before.
Chewing gum can distract you and help relieve tension. When Ferguson chewed gum quickly, it actually meant that he was extremely nervous and anxious.
Chen Yingxiong's goal made his heart beat very fast for a time, so fast that he couldn't breathe. He almost thought he would fall to the ground like this and never get up again.
But at this time, the experience of a coach who had experienced countless ups and downs and the heart of a champion saved his life, so his body just shook and finally stood still.
But his heart was still beating very fast, and he had to chew gum desperately, even faster than his heartbeat...
The huge frustration of failure is attacking the old coach.
Everything he had carefully planned and prepared was shattered by the young man in front of him.
But this is not the most fatal thing. The most fatal thing is that what he once confidently believed to be the truth turned out to be just an illusion created by his opponent...
He believes that Liverpool is exhausted. He thinks that Chen Yingxiong's failure to score in the last round of the league means that he is already in a sluggish state.
Unexpectedly, Liverpool did not show their fatigue throughout the game. Chen Yingxiong, who scored three goals and assisted one goal, cannot be regarded as "in a sluggish state" in any case...
If this is considered a sluggish state, then you can't find a few people who are not in a sluggish state!
Ferguson is experienced and has seen all kinds of scenes, but he lost because of his own experience...
This is the most deadly.
There is even such a thought welling up from the depths of my heart: Am I really old? Everything was wrong with the judgment that was so sure. Is my experience no longer applicable to the world today? I thought Liverpool would be exhausted from fighting on two fronts, but they were not. I was fooled. Is my body unable to withstand such an impact? Isn’t it just losing a championship? Why do I feel like I’m going to die...
He just stood on the sidelines, and Liverpool players kept running past him with open arms. Run to the corner flag area, where the "stacked Arhat" show is going on.
Next door to him, in front of Liverpool's coaching bench, Martin O'Neill, who he despised as a "little boy" before the game, was looking up to the sky and shouting.
Behind him, the entire Manchester United bench and coaching bench were silent. Not just here, but in the stands behind him, gradually spreading. It was all deathly silent.
At that moment, Ferguson thought he was in the morgue, and a chill crept up his spine.

How many people have experienced the feeling that the entire Old Trafford stadium is as quiet as a silent city?
Now they are lucky enough to experience it.
Before Chen Yingxiong hit the football. The stands at Old Trafford were filled with boos that disturbed Chen Yingxiong. However, when Chen Yingxiong hit the football into the goal, the entire Old Trafford stadium suddenly fell silent - although there were cheers from Liverpool fans, the voices of three thousand people were in such a big stadium. It's completely negligible.
Especially for Manchester United fans, they automatically filter out the cheers of Liverpool fans. For them, the Old Trafford Stadium at this moment is a silent city!
The silence was terrifying, and the body began to tremble unconsciously.
Many people are not unable to make a sound, but rather don’t want to make a sound at all. They were biting the scarves in their hands, their eyes already starting to turn red. More than 72,000 people were sitting or standing. There, no one made a sound. It's like they all don't exist.
The reporters in the media box are not used to this kind of scene. Many of them know people who often cover games related to Manchester United at Old Trafford. They have never seen Old Trafford so quiet. They raised their heads and looked left and right. All that came into view were heartbroken Manchester United fans.
Before this game, these people really believed that Manchester United, under the leadership of Sir Alex Ferguson, could defeat the invading Liverpool at home.
But who would have thought that Liverpool was tougher and more brutal than they imagined.
"It seems that the hero has really scared Manchester United... They are all silent, and they have not yet recovered from their disappointment and frustration..."
"I have never seen such a depressing scene at Old Trafford. It seems that even the most die-hard and extreme Manchester United fans have realized that their dream of winning the league championship is coming to an end."
Reporters were buzzing.
The pro-United journalists were in low spirits and looked despondent. And the pro-Liverpool journalists were jubilant. Dancing.
The media box is also a small stand, where various performances are performed.

The Old Trafford stadium was silent until Chen Yingxiong and Sanchez were pulled up from the ground by their teammates. Just ended.
Some Manchester United fans booed Chen Yingxiong, but most Manchester United fans applauded and sang for the doomed Manchester United.
They used such actions to tell the dejected Manchester United players - isn't it just a league championship? If not, there will be no more. Our hands are already weak from holding them, so giving one to them is no big deal! Next season, let’s make a comeback! We are glorious Red Devils fans, we are the kings of England!
Chen Yingxiong also heard the singing of Manchester United fans. He raised his head and looked at the fans wearing red jerseys in the stands. Their eyes were still red, but they had recovered, and they all stood up from their seats with serious expressions on their faces.
He grinned.
Such an opponent is so exciting!
Really worthy of the Premier League hegemon Manchester United, a centipede, dead but not stiff.
Chen Yingxiong can fully expect that this team will be Liverpool's number one enemy in the next few seasons. But he did not feel unhappy about it. On the contrary, he was very happy to challenge the powerful enemy, completely defeat the powerful enemy, destroy him, and eliminate him. Chen Yingxiong regarded it as a challenge. A challenge that can make your blood boil.
Constantly challenging powerful enemies will also make him continue to improve. Is a person who has defeated invincible opponents in the world considered a hero?
Chen Yingxiong thought it was fine.
His idea is that simple. In today's world football, as long as it is a strong team, he will take turns once for each one. Once is not enough for two turns, and two times is not enough for three times... Anyway, until he has enough.
Wait for the whole world. When there is no stronger opponent than him, he should be the number one player in the world, right?
At that time, you can always be considered a hero.
Think of this. He raised his fist and waved to the Manchester United fans.
This is a demonstration.
But not all opponents can make Chen Yingxiong take the initiative to demonstrate like this. Some teams Chen Yingxiong doesn't like at all, so naturally they won't pay attention to them. Or say something polite about hello, me, and everyone. It makes others think that Chen Yingxiong is not so arrogant and arrogant, and is quite easy to get along with. But this is because people don’t take you seriously.
If those strong teams really could threaten him, Chen Yingxiong's reaction would be completely different.
It must be ridicule first and then provocation. What is hard to hear is nothing. Behind the scenes, he works very hard to improve himself, with the goal of defeating the opponent. Being able to make him work so hard and take it seriously is naturally because you have the strength and capital.
But for their opponents. But there is a contradiction - are you willing to let Chen Yingxiong look down on you, and then Chen Yingxiong casually let them live? Or are you willing to get this "special" recognition from Chen Yingxiong?
In the eyes of Manchester United fans, Chen Yingxiong's action is a naked provocation. Chen Yingxiong has a bad reputation. When everyone thinks of it, their first thought is to throw dirty water on Chen Yingxiong's head.
Since it is a provocation. Then fight back!
The extreme Manchester United fans responded to Chen Yingxiong's raised fist with boos, insults and middle fingers.
Chen Yingxiong was not angry but happy. Seeing the fighting spirit of Manchester United fans, he smiled even happier.
He doesn't care about his image in the minds of Manchester United fans.

Although everyone thought that the game had lost its suspense, Liverpool would definitely win this game.
But the game will continue.
You have to play enough injury time.
After the game restarted, there was really no suspense. Manchester United's players seemed uninterested in playing.
Liverpool's players are not interested in playing - now their minds are occupied with the upcoming league championship!
They will be the ones who help Liverpool lift the Premier League trophy for the first time. Be recorded in history forever!
They are already looking forward to what the city of Liverpool will look like by then, and how they will celebrate. What would it feel like to kiss the Premier League trophy?
These questions are flooding the minds of Liverpool players.
If the Manchester United players have the fighting spirit, maybe they can achieve a miraculous equalizer. Tied the score at the last moment of the game.
But unfortunately, they were frightened by Chen Yingxiong's decisive attack - the seeds they bought before finally took root and sprouted, and then grew into countless thorny thorn vines.
When the Manchester United players think about having a Chen Yingxiong in Liverpool, they lose their fighting spirit. Because no matter how many goals they score or how many times they lead, Chen Yingxiong can equalize the score and then take the lead.
This is so hopeless.
It's like there's no need to play the game anymore. As long as Chen Yingxiong is there, Liverpool will definitely win.
Ferguson naturally saw this problem, but psychological reconstruction takes time. It's not like just yelling with a hair dryer from the sidelines, and the players can be transformed.
He can only wait for the game to end and then slowly rebuild the players' confidence.
As for this game...
He sighed inwardly.
It seemed like he was doomed. Whether he wants it or not, he must accept the fact that his mortal enemy Liverpool is stepping on their corpses and approaching the championship. That trophy is already within their reach...
