Volume 1: When Heroes Appear, People Pay Attention. Chapter 102: Internal Strife
Chapter 102: Internal strife (first update, please vote for me!)
There were still three hours before the start of the game. Phil Gibbs, his two partners and other fans gathered in a cafe outside the stadium, drinking drinks while waiting to enter.
When they are bored, their only way to entertain themselves is to play games on their mobile phones or surf the Internet.
"Oh my God! No!" Phil Gibbs, who was browsing Twitter, suddenly exclaimed.
"Have you been bitten to death by a zombie again, poor Phil!" Tom next to him joked.
"There is internal strife in Liverpool?!"
The people around him gathered around after hearing this.
"what happened?"
"Rumor!"
"real or fake?"
Everyone gathered around Phil Gibbs.
"The Turkish media said..."
"Hey, that must be a rumor!"
"That's right, the enemy uses it to disrupt the morale of the troops!"
"But... it has been confirmed by many people... I follow a guy who is a fan leader who is close to the club. He just spoke on Twitter. Although he didn't say it clearly, even a fool can see it. Come out and what is he talking about..."
When Phil Gibbs said this, everyone fell silent.
After a while, Tom Jackson forced a smile and said, "It won't be that bad, right?"
"Now it's all over the Internet... and the British media also reported this matter..."
"***Oops...what's going on? What's the specific situation, Phil, do you know?"
"It was said that there was a conflict between the hero and Suarez..." He said here, even he felt a little strange.
The expressions on other people's faces are also very strange - they all know what the relationship between the hero and Suarez is. These two people are best friends. It is probably not an exaggeration to call them "iron buddies".
These two people are usually so good that they wish they could wear a pair of pants, so how could they be fighting among themselves?
"A hero and a buck-toothed man can have conflicts? What's wrong with this society!"
"It's over. If the two of them are fighting among themselves, I think this time the matter will be serious..."
…
At dusk, three hours before the game, Liverpool fans gathered in a pub and suddenly felt pessimistic about the game.
※※※
When the outside world spread rumors that Chen Yingxiong and Suarez were having conflicts, Liverpool's two major stars were completely unaware of it.
They quickly hugged each other, and Suarez very "humbly" asked Chen Yingxiong to ask him what method he used to create such a heavy-tasting weapon.
However, this scene was not seen and photographed by reporters, otherwise the rumors of internal strife would not have spread.
When they were about to get in the car and rush to the stadium, Chen Yingxiong and Suarez walked outside talking and laughing.
Martin O'Neill glanced outside the gate. Although he could not see anything here, he was sure that there must be many reporters surrounding the bus outside the gate. Maybe there weren't so many originally, but since the internal strife spread, there will definitely be many people coming to seek confirmation or get first-hand information.
If Chen Yingxiong just goes out with Suarez... all his efforts will be in vain!
He frowned.
"Hero!" He called Chen Yingxiong.
Both men stopped and turned to look at him.
O'Neal clicked his tongue in his heart - these two are really good friends, and they are so in sync with each other. My name is Hero, Louis, why are you turning around? People who don’t know better think I called you two...
He said to Chen Yingxiong: "Well, I have something to ask you." Then he waved to Suarez: "You go to the car first, Luis."
When Suarez saw that the head coach had something to do with Chen Yingxiong, he stopped staying. Maybe it was a private conversation and he didn't want others to hear it...
Suarez nodded and walked away.
Chen Yingxiong stayed confused. He didn't know what the head coach asked him to do.
"Well...that's it. What do you think of this game?"
"What do you think? I don't have any opinion...just the same as usual."
Martin O'Neill didn't expect to communicate anything with Chen Yingxiong. He was just looking for something to say and delaying time, so his answer was a little absent-minded: "Very good, very good!"
"What?" Chen Yingxiong continued to be confused. Can this answer be worthy of the evaluation of "very good, very good"?
"Well, I mean, you are very good as usual, which shows that you have a normal heart. The most important thing in this game is a normal heart. You must know that this is Turkey..."
"I know, boss, isn't this what you asked me to do? I promise I won't take the initiative to cause trouble for them..."
"It's not okay to be passive!"
"Haha, I promise I will only cause trouble for them by scoring goals."
O'Neill breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he also saw Suarez walking out of the gate and boarding the bus waiting at the door.
Then he patted Chen Yingxiong on the shoulder: "Okay, it's nothing, just to confirm."
Chen Yingxiong nodded, but he was still confused - does this still need to be confirmed? He continued to walk towards the bus in confusion, frowning as he walked, thinking about the meaning of his boss leaving him alone. Is it just to talk nonsense to myself? He has told himself countless times about calmness...
※※※
Reporters waiting outside the gate saw Suarez getting on the bus alone. Chen Yingxiong, who usually had a good relationship with him, was not with him.
This seems to indicate that the two people are in conflict and have become strangers.
But the evidence is still scant. After all, this could be a coincidence, which doesn't explain the problem at all.
But when Chen Yingxiong walked out with a frown and a worried look, many reporters' eyes lit up - by the way, this is the expression he should have after having a conflict with a good friend! There are so many things on my mind! Why are you so worried? Apparently the quarrel in the morning affected my mood!
That’s right! It's definitely right this time! The hero must have had a conflict with Suarez! Otherwise, why didn't they even get on the bus together? Isn't it because they are no longer as close to each other as before?
Then Martin O'Neill also frowned and walked out of the hall, which made reporters even more convinced of this - as the head coach, Martin O'Neill is obviously also very troubled by the conflict between his two main forwards.
※※※
"The players boarded the bus... but Suarez and the hero deliberately kept a distance..." Phil Gibbs was still refreshing Twitter, hoping to find other news to overturn the fact of internal strife. But almost all the news he got was bad news.
Nowadays, the photos and tweets that a reporter sent back from the hotel gate are even worse, because he proved that the two people really have conflicts...
He gave up, threw the phone aside, and covered his face with his hands in pain. He became increasingly pessimistic about the upcoming games.
Before such an important game, when Gerrard still doesn't know whether he can play, the team relies on the two of you. How can you have internal strife? !
The mood of the people around him was not high either. This sudden bad news made many people feel desperate and pessimistic about the game.
The cafe, which had been noisy before, suddenly became quiet.
The owner of this cafe looked at the frustrated British people and sympathized with them. Of course the boss is also Turkish, but why does he sympathize with Liverpool fans? Because he is a fan of Fenerbahce, Fenerbahce and Besiktas are mortal enemies, and the enemies of mortal enemies are friends, so he is willing to open the door to accept Liverpool fans from England, and it is natural to sympathize with them. Because he also hopes that Liverpool will teach Besiktas a lesson.
Now it seems that there is no chance?
※※※
An hour before the start of the game, Liverpool's bus arrived at the stadium, and fans began to enter the stadium one after another.
Security for this game was indeed very strict. England fans and Turkish fans entered from opposite ends of the stadium to ensure that there would be no direct contact and avoid conflicts.
There are about 800 visiting team fans. They are concentrated at the top of the stands behind one of the goals. There is a small area surrounded by barbed wire for the visiting team fans.
Apart from an exit, there is no way to connect this stand to other places, so as much as possible, the fans from both sides will not come into direct contact.
However, it is equivalent to preventing the fans of the away team from cheering for their team at close range, isolating them and preventing them from causing trouble to the home team.
This is how many teams arrange it. However, the barbed wire fence that separates that area can only be seen at the Turkish Stadium...
The stadium is not full yet, and the live radio is playing deafening music. Just listening to the music will make you feel like "I am in hell." The singer roars with a hoarse voice, and no one can understand what he is singing. What, anyway, it was just roars one after another, very much like the miserable screams of those being tortured in hell.
The music gradually became quieter, and the scene became dominated by the fans of the home team.
They began to cheer and chant the names of their team's players, creating a very lively atmosphere.
Of course, using swear words to attack opposing players is also a good way to create an atmosphere.
So all kinds of bad words came out.
As Liverpool's most famous and threatening player, Chen Yingxiong is naturally the one that everyone takes care of. So there are the most dirty words about him.
"There's no fucking hero! There's no fucking hero!"
"Go to hell, Chinaman! You are not welcome in Türkiye!"
"Be careful not to pee your pants, you Chinese idiot!"
Some fans chanted the name of a Chinese province. Many people in Turkey support East Turkestan terrorists in causing trouble in China, and there are naturally no shortage of such scum among extreme fans.
While they were shouting, players from both sides came out to warm up.
First up are the Liverpool players.
At this time, the scene was like a boiling pot, with all kinds of boos and curses coming and going, deafening.
This sudden momentum shocked many Liverpool players. They stopped and looked towards the stands.
This place has not even been filled up yet, yet it is already so impressive.
What would it be like if the seats were full... [
