Volume 1: When Heroes Come and Go, People Pay Attention. Chapter 76 Who Is the Applause at the Allianz Arena For? (First Update Guaranteed)
When Chen Yingxiong raised his foot to shoot, he was only more than one meter away from the bottom line of the football. Even Bayern Munich's players gave up pressing. They planned to stick to the inside and behind, preventing Chen Yingxiong from breaking through after stopping the ball.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yingxiong actually volleyed directly from this place, without even stopping the ball. He chose the most difficult shooting method.
But the football he pulled out was not a thunderous shot. He relied on speed to defeat Bremer Harris standing in front of him.
The football drew an arc in the air, like a rainbow hanging in the sky, and finally fell into the goal.
"This is... a Basten-esque goal!"
"It couldn't be more beautiful! With just one touch of the ball, he defeated Bayern Munich!"
"Hero! Hero! Hero-!!! Hero!!!!"
"Wonderful goal! In a way that no one could have imagined! The hero proved his ability with such a goal!"
"Who can imagine that this is a ball kicked by an old guy who is about to turn 41? God! Is he still a human being? A 40-year-old man can actually give us such a classic goal ! And with his condition, can he really retire like this? Let me tell you, even if he plays for a few more years, his condition will not decline significantly!"
When Chen Yingxiong hit the ball with a very relaxed kick while running, and then the ball drew an arc and bypassed Bayern Munich goalkeeper Harris, Liverpool commentator Harry Levy's vision was already blurry.
His voice choked up: "Can you believe that the person who scored this goal is already 40 years old? Can you believe that such a great player will retire at the end of this season? I really want to say to you: 'Please You stay, hero'. But I can't, because you have repeatedly postponed your retirement date for us, and you have dedicated your best time to Liverpool. I really have no qualifications to force you to stay in this stadium anymore..."
When commentating on Chen Yingxiong's game before, Harry Levi never mentioned Chen Yingxiong's retirement, as if it had never happened. That's not because he is forgetful and has forgotten this matter, but because he thinks the same as other Liverpool fans - if he doesn't mention it, it seems that Chen Yingxiong will not retire.
But not anymore. The end of the season is getting closer. The emotion that had been suppressed in Harry Levi's heart finally burst out.
You can no longer ignore this problem, otherwise you will lose the best opportunity to say goodbye to him.
Do you really have to close your eyes and pretend that you can't see it, it doesn't exist, and then when you open your eyes, you find that he has left long ago, leaving you alone and regretting that you were not able to send him on his last journey?
Harry Levy's words expressed the aspirations of many Liverpool fans.
Why when the day when Chen Yingxiong retires is getting closer. It's rare to hear Liverpool fans shouting "Heroes don't leave", and we didn't see any slogans related to this at Stanley Park?
Some media have previously criticized Liverpool fans for being too ruthless, or ridiculed Chen Yingxiong's status among Liverpool fans. It seems that it is not as high as he thought.
In fact, it is not that Liverpool fans are heartless, nor is it that Chen Yingxiong is not loved and respected by them.
But they really didn't have the qualifications to ask Chen Yingxiong to stay.
Of course they hope that Chen Yingxiong can stay, but this cannot be what they ask for, but Chen Yingxiong must do it voluntarily.
Chen Yingxiong has postponed his retirement date several times in order to allow Liverpool to surpass Manchester United's number of Premier League titles. Everyone watched him grow from thirty-four to thirty-six years old. From the age of thirty-six to thirty-seven, I still persist after the age of thirty-seven. Then I was thirty-eight, thirty-nine, forty, and now I am about to turn forty-one...
Chen Yingxiong is not a "loyal minister" trained by Liverpool, but he is more loyal than those of his own people.
He has done so much for Liverpool and given up so much. Picture what?
money. He already makes enough. Championship, he also got soft.
He also said in an interview that football has no appeal to him now, and that he persists solely because he has to complete the ultimate goal of leading Liverpool to surpass Manchester United.
Just for this promise, he trained hard at Melwood day after day, insisted on playing, and gave up the choice of spending a leisurely life with his family.
He has done so much for Liverpool. What qualifications and shame do we Liverpool fans have to ask him to stay for a few more years?
In this case, we are too selfish, right?
A hero's love for Liverpool. It is definitely not a tool that we can use to satisfy our own selfish desires.
Because of this idea, few Liverpool fans publicly express their hope that Chen Yingxiong will stay.
In the eyes of outsiders who don't understand, this approach may seem very ruthless - people are about to retire, and they have been working hard for you Liverpool for so many years, but you are not even willing to say a word to save them?
But in fact, understanding people would not have such thoughts. For example, Chen Yingxiong never complained that Liverpool fans were too unsympathetic to him. Because he knows Liverpool fans, they have been together for 18 years. No matter how unfamiliar people are, they will understand each other very well through these eighteen years of getting along.
Husband and wife may not be able to stay together day and night for eighteen years...
Chen Yingxiong and Liverpool fans already have a tacit understanding that goes beyond being a couple.
Precisely because everyone thinks the same as Harry Levi. So I particularly resonate with Harry Levi’s words. When they heard Harry Levi's words, they all burst into tears.
Yes, they have enjoyed everything the hero has dedicated for eighteen seasons, so how can they use his love for Liverpool and them to ask him to stay again?
To deprive a person of his freedom is the gravest sin.
They can't.
So they could only try to hide their inner reluctance and attachment and say goodbye to Chen Yingxiong.
Watching Chen Yingxiong open his arms after scoring, he cheered and celebrated as usual, as if he didn't know he was about to retire. Every Liverpool fan feels even worse.
※ ※ ※
Perhaps Chen Yingxiong’s teammates have the same thoughts as Liverpool fans.
After Chen Yingxiong scored, other Liverpool players swarmed up to celebrate with him.
Everyone hugged Chen Yingxiong tightly, fearing that he would disappear if they were not careful.
At the Allianz Arena, they celebrated as if they were at home.
The emotion of watching one less game spreads among Liverpool fans, and the emotion of playing one less game also pervades among Liverpool players.

After Chen Yingxiong scored the goal, Bayern Munich's head coach Jurgen Klopp stood in front of the coach's bench with an expressionless face and no expression.
Although he knew that his arrangements had failed.
But at this time, he suddenly didn't want to get angry or complain as before.
In front of such a beautiful goal, nothing can be said or done.
His Bayern Munich may eventually lose to Liverpool, but at this moment, he had to admire Chen Yingxiong's wonderful performance in his heart.
A veteran who is still working so hard for his team's career at the age of 40. Just imagine how many people can do this?
No matter how many people he had offended and how many people hated him.
At least at this time, there shouldn't be any resentment.
Looking at Chen Yingxiong surrounded by Liverpool players in the center, Klopp was envious. If only we at Bayern Munich had such a person... He dedicated his best career to the team, he can unite the team, he makes the fans worship him, and most importantly, he can give the ball The team brings endless championships!
Those who have the same idea as him include those Bayern Munich fans.
Chen Yingxiong's goal is so wonderful, and he is so old, that it becomes even more difficult for him to score this goal.
People are always willing to send well wishes to those who are about to retire. Unless they are really mortal enemies, it is not as good as Manchester City and Manchester United fans.
Bayern Munich and Liverpool are not mortal enemies, they are just rivals in a general sense. They are enemies on the pitch and are irrelevant once the game is over.
So after seeing Chen Yingxiong score such a beautiful goal, even Bayern Munich fans couldn't help but jump.
They were stunned and couldn't believe their eyes.
Is this a goal that a forty-year-old can score?
Movement, consciousness, and movements have all reached their peak!
Such a goal made those fans who love football couldn't help but applaud Chen Yingxiong after reacting.
Of course, this does not mean that Bayern Munich fans will like Chen Yingxiong. This is just a necessary tribute to a great player.
For a moment, the Allianz Arena was not booed by the home team fans, but thunderous applause!
Harry Levi looked around and became even more excited.
"Listen, listen! This is applause! This is not coming from the more than 3,000 Liverpool fans who followed the team to the away game! This is the applause sent by tens of thousands of Bayern Munich fans! They are also praised by heroes I’m impressed! This is the hero’s unique personal charm! What could be more honorable than winning the support and applause of the opponent’s fans at the opponent’s home court? The hero did it! He conquered the Allianz Arena!”
Amid the applause of the home team fans, Chen Yingxiong and his teammates cheered and celebrated.
The Bayern Munich players felt very ashamed.
Their fans defected before the battle, even if it was really just to pay respect to Chen Yingxiong, it still felt like a slap in the face to their faces.
Because they feel that they have all become supporting characters, and in the center of the huge stage, only Chen Yingxiong is the protagonist.
But according to their original plan, the protagonist should be from Bayern Munich!
