Volume 1: When Heroes Appear, People Pay Attention. Chapter 79: Victory Is at Hand.

In the car where the car finally stopped, Tom Jackson and the red-haired young man Adam Smith sitting in the back seat were still in shock and kept swearing.

"****! Phil! I will never ride in your car again! Do it!"

"Damn it, Phil, are you jealous of the girl I had the day before yesterday?"

Phil Gibbs seemed to have not heard their dirty words at all, and just looked at them blankly: "Tom, did you read that right? Is *** a hero?"

"Fuck... I just feel a bit like it. Are you so excited?" Tom Jackson leaned on the back of the seat and touched his violently beating heart with his hand.

For a moment just now, he thought that his twenty-three years of life would be spent on this highway...

Phil Gibbs ignored his two partners, opened the door and jumped out.

"Hey, Phil!"

"Fuck it, Phil!"

The two people couldn't even call out to their companions, so they had to jump out of the car and chase Phil Gibbs.

The three people, one in front and two in back, almost rushed to Chen Yingxiong at full speed - because Phil Gibbs was running, the two companions chasing him naturally had to run as well.

Chen Yingxiong was looking at these three crazy people in a daze when he saw the young man rushing at the front shouting excitedly: "He is really a hero! Haha! Really! Ahaha! Do it! Let me find it Got it!!”

The two people who came from behind were also stunned, looked at it carefully, cheered, and rushed to Chen Yingxiong to give him a hug.

But they were blocked by a guardrail.

Chen Yingxiong also reacted - he was recognized by Liverpool fans. Liverpudlians have a very special accent. Chen Yingxiong knew he was from Liverpudlian as soon as he heard it. As for the question of whether he is a Liverpool fan or an Everton fan... Will Everton fans be so excited and ecstatic to see him? I was afraid that he would fall back and give him the middle finger, then laugh at him before leaving.

So the three people coming this time must be Liverpool fans.

Since it's my own family, it's easy to talk.

Chen Yingxiong doesn't intend to give them the chance to chase stars. He has important business to do now.

"Hi, guys," he greeted the three. "I wonder if it would be convenient for you to give us a ride?" He pointed at himself and Cabrera beside him.

※※※

Five people sat in the car, and the three young people were very happy. Phil Gibbs couldn't help but turn around and say a few words to Chen Yingxiong while driving.

Tom Jackson and Adam Smith are obviously the happiest, because between them is Chen Yingxiong. They can get close to their idols. The feeling is as if flowers all over the world are blooming for them. If I tell anyone about this experience, I don't know how many of my companions would be envied to death.

But Chen Yingxiong was not very happy.

Because Gibbs is always distracted, the car doesn't go very fast...

He understood the mood of the three fans, but he was in a hurry now.

This needs to be said.

"Um...Phil, can your car go any faster?"

When he asked, everyone realized why Chen Yingxiong was here.

He has to rush to play the game! Now is really not the time to be happy just because you have close contact with your idol!

A group of people looked at the time. It was now ten past one in the afternoon, three hours and twenty minutes before the start of the game. And currently they are still more than 200 kilometers away from Liverpool...

"This..." In fact, Phil Gibbs wished he was driving not this classic car produced in the 1970s, but an F1 racing car.

"Phil's car is too old and can't run fast. And...he just got his driver's license not long ago!" Tom Jackson said quickly.

Cabrera, who had been sitting in the passenger seat without speaking, suddenly spoke, with unquestionable majesty in his voice: "I can drive."

Chen Yingxiong looked at her, and she nodded to Chen Yingxiong.

That means to reassure Chen Yingxiong.

Of course, Gibbs would not fight for control with Chen Yingxiong's girlfriend. He quickly found an opportunity and slowly parked his car in the emergency lane on the side of the road.

After changing the driver, Cabrera tested the car's instruments and found that they were working normally.

Without looking back, she said from the front: "Fasten your seat belt."

Chen Yingxiong, who had already moved to the passenger seat, quickly fastened his seat belt conscientiously.

The three people in the back seat didn't take it seriously. How fast could this old car go? No need to wear a seat belt...

Cabrera doesn't care what the next three think, anyway, all she needs to care about is Chen Yingxiong.

Without warming up first, she stepped on the accelerator and released the handbrake amidst the roar of the engine. The car's tires made a squealing sound as they rubbed against the ground, and then she swayed gracefully. The tail roars away!

Three young people who were not wearing seat belts were suddenly pressed against the backrests of their car seats!

"Wow!" they shouted in fright.

※※※

Before, Tom Jackson and Adam Smith complained that Phil Gibbs was driving too wildly, so now they have seen what it means to be truly "wild"...

And they regretted not wearing seat belts.

Cabrera drove this old Ford produced in 1975 through the traffic, constantly changing lanes to overtake. Although the speed was not too fast due to the car's own capabilities, Cabrera's driving speed was Her "wild" nature made the palms of the three young people sweat when they saw it - the distance between the two cars was so close that she dared to step on the accelerator and turn on the light to change lanes and overtake, and then lightly tap on the brakes. Avoid rear-end collision with the car in front.

As long as there is a slight gap next to it, Cabrera will control the car to get through it, just like a loach, slithering through the traffic. This caused other drivers to honk their horns in protest against the two restless old Fords.

Let’s not talk about the technical content of this thing. Just talk about the courage, which is what these three young people do not have.

A little carelessness could result in a car crash and death...

The three people began to yell and find seat belts to fasten.

Chen Yingxiong pursed his lips and snickered in front - he had already seen Cabrera's driving style.

After he finished laughing, he wanted to ask three people to borrow their mobile phones to call O'Neal, but just as he was about to speak, he remembered that he didn't remember the head coach's phone number at all. Nowadays, everything is stored directly in the mobile phone. Who bothers to remember it when they have nothing to do?

Helpless, I can only hope that O'Neal will not wait too impatiently and cross out his name from the big list...

This is the real race against time, because there is not much time left for Chen Yingxiong. He must catch up before the game - Chen Yingxiong does not want to come off the bench...

Although there are fewer people in the UK than in mainland Europe, it is not so small that people can run on the highways.

So it took more than two hours of driving, hurrying and slowing, before we arrived outside Liverpool.

As we get closer and closer to Liverpool, the traffic volume on the road is getting bigger and bigger, and there are signs of gradual congestion.

The speed of the car also slowed down significantly. No matter how good Cabrera's driving skills were, it could only be a little better than other cars, but it was not much faster.

Seeing victory right in front of him, time flew by so fast, which made Chen Yingxiong anxious.

※※※

Logically speaking, the team should arrive at the stadium an hour before the game starts. But Liverpool did have an hour before the game started before getting on the bus to Anfield.

Because Martin O'Neill insisted on waiting for Chen Yingxiong.

Helplessly, O'Neal did not see Chen Yingxiong after waiting until the scheduled departure time.

If we wait any longer, the team won't even have enough time to warm up.

Martin O'Neill could only sigh helplessly and waved to ask the players to board the bus.

He was the last one to get on the bus. Before getting on the bus, he glanced at the door of the hotel, hoping to see Chen Yingxiong.

But he was disappointed.

Could it be that the hero really encountered some unexpected situation and was unable to come?

During this time, he has been calling Chen Yingxiong. Even if he heard "The phone you dialed has been turned off" again and again, he did not give up, because maybe the next time he called, Chen Yingxiong would have already charged the battery. ?

But such a fantasy has never come true.

Chen Yingxiong's side was like a stone sinking into the sea, with no news at all.

"Forget it, let's go." O'Neill said to the bus driver.

Then he sat back in his seat, frowning and worried.

※※※

When the Liverpool bus arrived at Anfield Stadium a little later than scheduled, the reporters who were still waiting outside the stadium were still wondering if they were waiting for Chen Yingxiong, so they were a little late.

Unexpectedly, when they were waiting to count heads at the door of the car, they didn't see Chen Yingxiong.

Chen Yingxiong is not in the team lineup!

He's not here yet? !

The news quickly spread throughout the stadium, and fans, reporters, and commentators in their respective studios all knew the news.

"The hero really isn't in the car!"

"It seems that Chen Yingxiong will not be able to participate in this game..."

"Liverpool is really unlucky this time. It was good, but it was affected by the volcanic eruption in Iceland..."

This is good news for Newcastle people, but it is definitely not a good thing for Liverpool people.

For Chinese fans, neither.

They were waiting in front of the TV and computer just to watch Chen Yingxiong play?

Chen Yingxiong couldn't play, and the game suddenly became boring!

"We don't have any news about the whereabouts of the hero yet, so we don't know where Chen Yingxiong is... We don't know if he can still make it to the game..."

The commentator said so much that he didn't know, which made the fans furious.

They all yelled: "You don't know anything! You're commentating on a crappy game!"

“China’s commentators are so bad!”

Of course, the commentator is just a fish in the pond.

It is estimated that only Chen Yingxiong himself knows where he is in this world...
