Many teams coveted Chen Hero, and during this period, many teams were rumored to be associated with him, so the news that Liverpool was infinitely close to Chen Hero did not attract everyone's attention at first.

There was another reason for this.

That is, whether in terms of fame or financial resources, Liverpool was actually the club farthest from Chen Hero.

In terms of fame, Liverpool today can't even compare with Manchester City. Relying on the petrodollars of Middle Eastern consortia, Manchester City has been acquiring players on a large scale, and their name has frequently appeared in reports of various player transfers, so their popularity has naturally increased. What about Liverpool? Apart from the older generation of fans who still remember the name, most people's knowledge of them is almost synonymous with tragedies. The Heysel Stadium disaster, the Hillsborough disaster... This is definitely not a good thing for Liverpool.

Although everyone is full of sympathy for Liverpool when they talk about these tragedies, even neutral fans of other teams will offer a blessing of "May the deceased rest in peace."

But these words cannot be exchanged for championships!

How many years has it been since Liverpool won a championship?

The last time they won an honor was back in the 2006 Community Shield.

Since then, until 2011, they haven't won a single championship for a full five years.

Not winning a single championship for five consecutive years, not even a domestic cup championship, is truly a shame for a traditional giant like Liverpool.

In fact, not to mention Liverpool, even Arsenal, they have so many top players, and a popular coach in Wenger, playing football that is pleasing to the eye of the whole world, but because they have not won a championship for many years, Arsenal is now also vaguely in danger of falling out of the ranks of the giants. Even Arsenal fans can't stand it anymore, they are demanding some changes from Arsenal...

Without championships, even the biggest giants will fall. To put it bluntly, giants are built up by winning championships.

Liverpool's appeal to current players is declining after five years without a championship, which is an undeniable fact.

So even a Liverpool's leading striker like Torres, who can almost be regarded as their number one star, has to leave Liverpool crying and shouting, and throw himself into the arms of Chelsea. To put it bluntly, it is because Liverpool's appeal to Torres has declined...

Let's talk about financial resources.

They spent 22.5 million euros to buy Suárez, but they didn't buy Carroll, why? The media believes that Liverpool doesn't have money. Newcastle once stated that as long as Liverpool can offer 35 million euros, they can take Carroll away. But Liverpool rejected the deal.

Some people analyze that Liverpool did this because buying Suárez used up most of their transfer budget, so they couldn't come up with the money...

With such a team, what can they use to attract Chen Hero? Chen Hero is currently the hottest center in Europe, even giants like Real Madrid are vying for him, how could he be willing to waste his youth at Liverpool, which is destined not to win championships?

Besides, Chen Hero's current value must be incredibly high. When Napoli bought him, it cost 15 million euros, and now I'm afraid even multiplying that by three wouldn't be enough...

Isn't there a rumor that Chelsea plans to offer 40 million euros to buy Chen Hero?

Liverpool, how much money do you have to compete with the Abus?

With such an analysis, the English media basically didn't take it seriously, and even if they reported it, it was at most as a joke.

But this matter still made Chen Xing very angry, because he had promised Chen Hero that all transfer transactions must be carried out in secret. It must not be leaked out.

Who would have thought that Dalglish would blurt it out? Although it didn't cause too much reaction from the media, it was fortunate that it didn't cause too much reaction from the media...

He scolded Niang. Dalglish only told him that this was a matter of club secrets, and told him not to talk nonsense before things were done, so as not to spoil things—in fact, Dalglish also regretted it a bit after seeing what he said in the newspaper the next day. He was really too carried away at the time, and forgot everything after drinking a little wine... Of course, he had to agree to the club owner's warning.

Dalglish was honest, but the fire in Chen Xing's heart did not go out. Anyway, because of this incident, his impression of Dalglish was not good. Who knows when he will bring up this old score because of something in the future?

The English media didn't take the news that Liverpool was infinitely close to Chen Hero seriously.

But that doesn't mean no one is paying attention to this matter.

You know, there are no walls that don't leak wind in the world. Any news will always be noticed, the difference lies in whether the person who notices the news is intentional or unintentional...

After Napoli broke into the final, the Catalan media in Barcelona said a few sour words, and then shifted the topic to the competition between Chen Hero and Messi for the top scorer. They were also smart, knowing that it was useless to write articles about the final, others had already entered the final, this ironclad fact, no matter how they smeared it, could not be changed.

But the competition for the top scorer is still a bit interesting...

Chen Hero didn't score in the second leg of the semi-final, and he is still one goal behind Messi!

Hey, and you still dare to shamelessly say that you want to defend the top scorer? Do you really think our Messi is a decoration?

The Italian media and the Napoli media have almost fanatical trust and worship for Chen Hero, but isn't that also the case for the Barcelona media for Messi?

With only one game left, you let Messi lead by one goal, and you still dare to say that you can defend the top scorer?

Of course, Chen Hero did catch up when he was six goals behind, but that was accumulated over several games. What can you do in just one game? You don't think you can get a hat-trick in the final, do you?

Chen Hero performed a hat-trick at the San Siro, and in one game he tied Messi's nine goals, which also caused a stir in Barcelona... This matter also made those Barcelona reporters a little apprehensive.

But they felt that this kind of perverted thing was enough for Chen Hero to do once, he can't possibly do it every time, right?

Therefore, the Barcelona media is full of voices touting Messi.

Many experts are very optimistic that Messi is one goal ahead of Chen Hero, and it is impossible for Messi to lose to Chen Hero in the final.

Of course, not everyone is cautious.

If this victory can be made more secure, it would be best, of course.

But how can Messi and Barcelona both get the victory safely?

Chen Hero is very important to Napoli. If Chen Hero is not in good condition, Napoli itself will also be affected. Therefore, restricting Chen Hero restricts the possibility of Napoli defeating Barcelona.

Without Chen Hero, Napoli is a second-rate team, at best they can reach the top 16 of the Champions League, and want to go further? It's as difficult as ascending to heaven!

Therefore, if they could find fault with Chen Hero and Napoli before the Champions League final, and disgust them, that would be great...

Under the guidance of this mentality, some Barcelona reporters paid special attention to collecting news about Chen Hero, not letting go of even a single piece of gossip.

Isn't it said that the person who knows you best is your enemy?

Hernández García Pérez, who currently works for *Mundo Deportivo*, is such a reporter who is particularly interested in Chen Hero's affairs.

He was also humiliated by Mazzarri before. Do you remember Mazzarri's famous saying: "In terms of scoring ability alone, Messi is simply no match for Chen Hero"? It was originally said to this reporter, Hernández García Pérez. So he is particularly concerned about spoiling Chen Hero and Napoli's good deeds. He is willing to do and try anything that can make Napoli unhappy and Chen Hero unlucky.

So he searched and searched in the vast sea of information, he even found out how many endorsement contracts Chen Hero signed, and listed them in a table—these things can't be used now, but who knows when they will be used?

In fact, this is not a very energy-consuming thing, it only takes time, because there is too much news about Chen Hero, and he needs to spend time sorting it out.

Especially during this period, there are all kinds of rumors about Chen Hero's whereabouts.

Several new ones come out every day, as if overnight, all the teams in Europe have ran to Chen Hero to offer olive branches.

To be honest, this makes reporter Pérez very unhappy. Because the more teams pursuing Chen Hero, the higher the level, the more it shows that Chen Hero is currently doing well. The enemy doing well is obviously not something to be happy about.

But Pérez is holding the idea of disgusting Chen Hero, and he still has to sort out these things, as a result, he hasn't disgusted Chen Hero yet, but he is disgusting himself.

Seeing those giants put down their reservations and flirt with Chen Hero, while Napoli pretends to say "Hero is our non-sale item," he keeps slandering in his heart: "What non-sale item! Isn't it just because they think the money offered isn't high enough!"

Just searching and sorting like this, suddenly... a piece of news jumped into his eyes.

"...Liverpool's 'King' Kenny Dalglish excitedly revealed that Liverpool is infinitely close to Napoli's current shooter Chen Hero. It is reported that Chen Hero is very likely to transfer to Premier League giant Liverpool this summer. His arrival will be the first step for Liverpool's revival and rise... Dalglish said: 'This will be a big move that will excite Liverpool fans!'"

Seeing this, Pérez was stunned.

In the past two days, he has seen many rumors and news about Chen Hero's transfer, but none of them would use such a firm tone to say something that is a sure thing. Basically, what everyone is saying is that a certain team has offered a price to Napoli, the coach of a certain team praised Chen Hero's talent, the owner of a certain team is interested in Chen Hero, and so on...

No team has ever said such a mindless thing as: "We are infinitely close to Chen Hero."

So, is what the Liverpool coach said really made up by the reporter, or is it true? Is Liverpool dreaming, or do they really have some inside information?

A reporter's occupational disease is being too curious. Once curiosity is aroused, it is impossible to stop it completely!

Hernández García Pérez, who felt that this matter was strange, planned to follow the vine and focus on this clue to see if he could dig up anything interesting...
