Volume 1: Heroes Come and Go, People Pay Attention Chapter 327: An Important Day (First Update, Please Vote for Me)
ps, today is also the fifth update!
※ ※ ※
Chen Yingxiong began to think about his relationship with the fans. He was not in a hurry to complete the task. Anyway, as long as he changed his mind, the task would be completed sooner or later. In this regard, Chen Yingxiong is quite confident in himself.
Now he has a task to complete first.
That is to break Roger Hunter's record of five hat tricks in a single season.
In the game against Manchester United, he completed his fifth hat-trick of the season, just one short of setting a new record.
He still has two games left to achieve that goal.
Both games are at home, which is conducive to his performance.
However, Chen Yingxiong plans to break the record in the thirty-seventh round against Blackburn Rovers.
Because this is a game related to whether Liverpool can win the championship in advance!
In such a game, it is of great significance to help the team lock the league championship trophy with a hat trick.
Of course Chen Yingxiong, who loves to show off so much, would not miss this opportunity.

On the first day of resumption of training, the hero drove to the Melwood training base for training. At the gate, he turned around and saw the old man Brown who was responsible for guarding the gate giving him a thumbs up.
Of course Chen Yingxiong knew what this meant.
I didn't lie to Brown, I really want to help the team win the Premier League championship trophy.
He responded with a thumbs up and a shitty look on his face.
That means: Look, I will do what I say!
Seeing him like this, Brown smiled, and the wrinkles on his face squeezed together.
Such an old face is as bright as a flower at this time.
See him smiling so happily. Chen Yingxiong's feelings from yesterday reappeared in his heart.
This smile is so bright and warm, just like the sunshine today.
We want more smiles like this to appear in the Anfield stands in the future!
The silent exchange with Old Brown only lasted a short time. When the car passed by, Chen Yingxiong turned his face away.
Old Brown turned to look at Chen Yingxiong's car, still with a smile on his face.

The aftermath of the Liverpool-Manchester United game has yet to dissipate.
The whole of England seemed to have surrendered at the feet of Liverpool, and everyone was praising Liverpool's dominant performance.
"Liverpool has shown strong competitiveness from the beginning of this season! After they took the first place in the fourth round of the league, they never came down from the top! This league championship is well-deserved. !”
"After thirty-six rounds of the league, Liverpool scored 100 goals. The Premier League record for total goals in a single season belongs to Chelsea. They scored 103 goals in the 2009-2010 season. But I see As the current momentum develops, Liverpool will 100% break Chelsea's record - with two rounds of the league left, Liverpool has already scored 100 goals. Could it be that in the last two rounds of the league, they can't even score four goals. ?"
"This season belongs to Liverpool. Although Manchester United once fought hard to catch up and narrowed the ten-point gap to three points, in a direct dialogue, Manchester United lost to Liverpool, ruining all hopes! Being able to defeat Manchester United in an away game is a great achievement for us. It is very important for Liverpool... Liverpool is now six points ahead of Manchester United, with two rounds of the league left. It can almost be declared that it has won the championship in advance. Manchester United only has a theoretical probability of winning - unless Liverpool all win in the next games. Lost, and Manchester United defeated their opponents by very large scores in both games... But the possibility of these two things happening at the same time is too small... Liverpool will face Blackburn at home in the next game. This will be Liverpool’s home win. The best chance to win the championship trophy!”
…
Everyone kept saying that Liverpool had won the championship. Others simply speculated on how many goals Liverpool could score against Blackburn.
Blackburn was not taken seriously at all.
It stands to reason that Blackburn should be very angry, and then secretly vowed to disrupt Liverpool's celebration party at Anfield.
but no. Blackburn had no idea.
Blackburn's head coach said this at the pre-match press conference: "Are we here to disrupt the situation? No, no, absolutely not. Facing this Liverpool. I can only look up..."
Liverpool's performance this season is really too strong. If there are still people who haven't seen this before, then after the battle with Manchester United, the whole of England has become clear - now this Liverpool is really not something they can easily defeat. ...Those teams that dream of defeating Liverpool must first weigh how much they have...
To be able to have the head coach of the opponent say such words, it seems that the Red Army that once swept across Europe is on a great journey to rise strongly. It's unstoppable!

On the afternoon of May 17, 2014, Liverpool faced Blackburn at home in the 37th round of the league.
For half of the people in Liverpool, this day is a day worth remembering forever.
The sun has been rising for several hours, and the magnetic voice of the radio DJ sounded from the cash register: "Good morning, dear listeners in Liverpool. Today is May 17, 2014. This is an important day. Of course it is It’s not my birthday, and it may not be your birthday or wedding anniversary...but I believe it is a very important day for Liverpool fans. Today is the day when Liverpool plays Blackburn at home...Today’s weather Yes, the temperature is between 14 and 28 degrees, and the sun is shining... This is an important day, and an important day must be a sunny day, because when we recall today a few years later, our minds will be full of thoughts. It’s this golden, bright and warm sunshine, what a beautiful thing that would be?”
The Mersey River is dappled with light, and the glass windows on the buildings reflect the sunlight, like countless little suns shining. The square is crowded with tourists, and pigeons, like people, roam the square in the sun. If someone feeds them, they will surround them. Cooing.
The whole city glows with vitality and vitality under the bright sunshine. This is the morning in Liverpool.
"In such good weather, the game between Liverpool and Blackburn is more worth looking forward to, right? If Liverpool can beat Blackburn at home, they will win the Premier League championship trophy one round ahead of schedule - it is said that the English Football Association Already brought the trophy to Liverpool..."
"No Liverpool fan will doubt that Liverpool may lose to Blackburn. This is at their home ground, and there is also a Chen Yingxiong in such excellent form..."
"At 4:30 in the afternoon, at Anfield. Let us witness the arrival of a historical moment together!"
"By the way, don't forget to put on enough throat lozenges, let your voice fill the entire Anfield, and let Liverpool ascend to the stage of history with the song of never walking alone!"

After noon, people started to set off to Anfield Stadium one after another.
Anfield Stadium has 45,000 seats. But there will certainly not be only so many people entering the stadium for this game...Liverpool has made security preparations to ensure nothing goes wrong.
Those who came to Anfield Stadium in advance were not waiting to enter the stadium. They gathered in front of the Hillsborough Memorial next to Shankly Gate.
The ninety-six victims of the Hillsborough disaster are engraved in gold letters on the dark brown marble monument.
Usually fans come here to bring flowers, tie scarves and light lanterns.
But there were so many people today.
A white-haired old man stood in front of the monument to the Hillsborough tragedy with his head lowered. People around him kept squatting down and placing flowers in their hands on the ground, then stood up and left. In front of him was a "sea of flowers" of white and red. It was almost impossible to stand. The petals sway gently in the majestic afternoon wind, as if conscious.
The old man stood in front of the monument and murmured: "Paul... I'm here to tell you something... Liverpool will finally become the Premier League champion... I told you before that the top league is no longer the First Division. , but the Super League...But Liverpool has never won this league championship. But today...today, we will become the Premier League champion...I think I must be the first to tell you this news..."
Not too far away from him, there was a middle-aged man clasping his hands together under his chin, lowering his head and praying in a low voice: "Cohen, you are in heaven. You must bless your favorite team to successfully win the championship trophy... ...The hero's victory at Old Trafford was the result of your blessing? Thank you, Cohen."
In the distance, there was a fat aunt. She squatted down and put the flowers in her hands aside. She did not get up immediately, but continued to squat there and said to herself at the monument: "Son. Did you see it?" Liverpool is going to win the championship. It has been 22 years...it has been 22 years since the Super League was established, and Liverpool is finally going to become the league champion...If you know this news, you will be happy, right?"
As she spoke, the woman's eyes were already filled with tears. She seemed to see her young son's face, and he was smiling at her.
…
After paying their respects to the victims at the Hillsborough Memorial, Liverpool fans began to bypass the Shankly Gate, which was reserved for officials and players, and walked to the other side.
The words "You'll Never Walk Alone" above the Shanklin Gate glistened in the sun.
I don’t know who started it first, but soon the crowd started singing the Liverpool team anthem.
"When you go through a storm - please hold your head high! Don't be afraid of the dark. At the end of the storm, there is a golden sky and the sweet singing of lark..."
In the bustling crowd, ninety-six souls also stepped out of the monument. They put their arms around each other's shoulders, wore Liverpool jerseys, and waved Liverpool's red scarves. Like others, they also sang "You Will Never..." "Walking Alone", blended into the crowd and walked together towards the entrance of Anfield Stadium.
The song soared above the Cenotaph and echoed around Anfield.
"...Through the wind, through the rain. Your dreams may be shattered, but move forward with the hope in your heart!"
"you'll never Walk Alone--"
"you'll never Walk Alone--"
"you'll never Walk Alone--"
