Volume 1: When a Hero Appears, People Pay Attention. Chapter 247: Envy, Jealousy and Hatred (First Update, Please Vote for Me)

Chapter 247: Envy, Jealousy and Hatred (First update, please vote for me)

The first game after the national team match day is not a league game, but an FA Cup game.

This time Chen Yingxiong was called over by O'Neal in advance to talk.

Tell him that he won't let him participate in this game. Because the league and Champions League are coming soon, and the team cannot be distracted at this time. As the FA Cup progresses and we get closer to the semi-finals, the opponents we encounter are getting stronger and stronger, and the opponents are paying more and more attention to them. The game will be more exciting. Such a game will increase the risk of Chen Yingxiong getting injured. It will also increase costs - the whole team needs to put in more energy to prepare for an FA Cup match.

For this competition that was not planned in the first place, Martin O'Neill felt that it was not worthwhile to do so.

Therefore, he hopes that Chen Yingxiong will continue to rest and not participate in the FA Cup.

Although Chen Yingxiong was unwilling in his heart, he still agreed to Martin O'Neill's request.

In the fifth round of the FA Cup, Liverpool met Newcastle.

Martin O'Neill sent out a full reserve team lineup.

When the reserve team players discovered that Chen Yingxiong did not show up this time, they already knew what was going on. The league has entered a fierce stage, and the Champions League knockout rounds are also in full swing. Chen Yingxiong is too busy to help them advance to the FA Cup quarter-finals.

Or in other words, they have been abandoned...

This was a serious blow to the reserve team's morale.

After these few FA Cup games, everyone has become accustomed to the feeling of Chen Yingxiong being with them, as if they were members of the first team or Chen Yingxiong had become a reserve team player.

The thought of fighting side by side with Chen Yingxiong filled them with fighting spirit.

But now, what they have been worried about has finally come...

Only then did they realize that they were just reserve team players, and Chen Yingxiong and them were not actually in the same group...

This blow to morale is very serious.

Facing Newcastle, which is already not weak, how can Liverpool, which plays with all reserves, resist the opponent's offensive?

In the end, the Liverpool reserve team was beaten by Newcastle with four goals in the FA Cup and lost with a score of 1:4. Eliminated from the FA Cup as expected.

The reserve team players who lost the FA Cup looked very sad, but O'Neill didn't care. At the post-match press conference, he pretended to express regret for being eliminated, and then revealed his true intentions: "Although it is a pity to be eliminated, in this way, we must strive for better results in the domestic league and the Champions League. results."

I have said a lot of nonsense before, all to pave the way for this sentence. And so many previous FA Cup games were all paving the way for this failure.

In fact, everyone knew the result since Chen Yingxiong did not appear on the roster for this game. Facing Newcastle, Liverpool's reserve team is unlikely to create any miracles.

Newcastle breathed a sigh of relief - Alan Patton also sent the strongest lineup to deal with Chen Yingxiong, but Chen Yingxiong did not come.

This result is not surprising.

The FA Cup has a long history and its status is still very high in the minds of fans. But after Liverpool lost this game, the fans did not blame the team's performance or O'Neill's choice.

Because at this time everyone's mind is on the league. This season is Liverpool's best season in the Premier League for more than 20 years, and they really have a good chance of winning the league title.

For the league championship, Liverpool fans are obviously more thirsty. In comparison, the FA Cup, which has been won many times, is not uncommon.

※ ※ ※

If you lose the Ancestor Cup, you lose. It's not a big deal, and no one will care about how the players in the reserve team feel.

They were a forgotten group of people. They are all made up of exiles from the first team and players who have just been promoted from the youth team.

Moreover, compared with them, the next round of the league is more important, and the opponents are more worthy of attention.

Liverpool will host Manchester City at home.

This is the strongest opponent Chen Yingxiong has encountered since he announced his reservation for the Premier League championship.

Manchester City is currently ranked third in the league, only two points behind second-placed Manchester United and 12 points behind Liverpool. This is a game with six points at stake, and if Manchester City can beat Liverpool away from home, they can improve their points while also stopping Liverpool's progress.

In addition, this game is also of historical significance for Chen Yingxiong - for him who has already stood on the threshold of a new record, if he can score in this game, he can become the first player in history to score a goal in this game. Players who have scored in seventeen consecutive games in the top league! Surpassing bomber Gerd Muller and becoming the first in history!

It has a double meaning and everyone is paying close attention to it.

Before the game, as usual, it is time for players, coaches and celebrities from both sides to spit at each other.

Before a fight, they always yell at each other for a while to arouse their anger before fighting. The same is true for football. As one of the oldest sports, football also continues the original flavor of mankind.

Before the game, it would be great to yell at each other to boost morale and at the same time lower the opponent's fighting spirit.

Aguero was the first to jump out and provoke, and his remarks also kicked off the war of words between the two sides.

While everyone else was praising Chen Yingxiong for tying Gerd Muller's record with goals in sixteen consecutive games, Aguero sneered at it.

"I don't think scoring goals in sixteen consecutive rounds is anything special now. It's obvious that Liverpool's tactics are to let the heroes score at all costs. Look at how many goals they have scored as a team this season, and the heroes score again and again. You will understand how many goals you score. I can do it too, but I will not sacrifice the interests of other teammates for my own goals..."

What he means is that Chen Yingxiong sacrificed the whole team's score to achieve your own success. What do you have to be proud of? What do you have to be proud of? You stole someone else's goal and you still have the nerve to use it as an honor? Are you feeling guilty or not?

This is a heart-breaking argument.

There are really good people who went to look up the information and find out what happened. So far this season, Liverpool has scored a total of 75 goals, ranking first in the Premier League in attack power. How much did Chen Yingxiong score by himself? Thirty-eight!

That is to say, except for Chen Yingxiong, the other Liverpool players have scored... thirty-seven goals. The entire team combined has not scored as many goals as Chen Yingxiong alone!

And how many assists does he have? So far this season...it's a measly four.

You must know that Chen Yingxiong had ten assists last season. He was the only two players in Europe to have double figures in both offense and assists that season. The other one was Messi.

After such a comparison, everyone feels that what Aguero said seems to make some sense...

Chen Yingxiong's number of assists has been greatly reduced this season, but his number of goals has increased significantly. This shows what? It shows that he has become more selfish. When he gets the ball, he chooses to shoot by himself instead of passing it to teammates in better positions.

Others have cited new evidence - Chen Yingxiong has a total of 150 shots so far, averaging six shots per game. Both numbers rank first in the Premier League, and he has more shots than Hulk had the second most shots with 49 more shots.

What does this show? It shows that Chen Yingxiong has "unlimited firing rights" in the Liverpool team.

Although Martin O'Neill didn't say that, he did it.

In the Liverpool team, everyone knows that only Chen Yingxiong has the power to shoot no matter what the situation. Even if he misses, others cannot blame him. The number of shots must be guaranteed to ensure the number of goals scored.

The end point of all attacks is Chen Yingxiong. No matter who it is, as long as there is a chance in the end, they must pass the football to Chen Yingxiong, and Chen Yingxiong will complete the shot.

With so many privileges, it is normal for him to score thirty-eight goals in a season and score in sixteen consecutive rounds. No wonder Aguero is unconvinced. He does not have the "unlimited firing power" like Chen Yingxiong in the Manchester City team, and he also has to participate in defense. What about Chen Yingxiong? At Liverpool, he never defended. If he is involved in defense, it must be because he is in a good mood...

In the end, everyone came to the conclusion that Chen Yingxiong's actions were indeed a bit "unprecedented". "...Aguero did have good reason to express disdain for Chen Yingxiong's results. Because Chen Yingxiong enjoyed too many privileges. One thing...'unlimited firing rights', no need to return to defense, the end point of the team's offense... these are all things that only he can enjoy. We have searched the entire Premier League, and no one has such privileges as him... Sixteen consecutive years Behind every goal, it was actually the entire Liverpool who sacrificed themselves to support him. Liverpool really needs a hero now, and no one is more suitable than the arrogant Chen Yingxiong. He can boost the confidence of Liverpool fans and make them The team's prospects are full of hope... This is actually Martin O'Neal's helplessness, but this is actually a deformed tactic... The hero is still the omnipotent hero, but the record built with this kind of shooting , it doesn’t matter, it shouldn’t become the norm for the team. How to build the whole team and let the heroes better display their strength, this should be what Martin O’Neal considers..."

Finally, the media said so.

It seems as if he is really thinking about Chen Yingxiong and Liverpool. But Liverpool fans only saw jealousy and smelled a strong sour smell.

However, the fans speak softly. Their words have no influence, and naturally they cannot make a strong rebuttal.

But they can count on Chen Yingxiong, and they also know that Chen Yingxiong will never let them down. He will definitely slap those people in the face!

Indeed.

At this time, Chen Yingxiong said a word, and all the efforts of these people who worked hard to analyze data, find information, and write articles to criticize him were in vain.

"The first season I came to Liverpool, you said the team's tactics were chaotic, and I didn't have any 'unlimited fire rights', let alone the privilege of not having to return to defense... But we scored 37 goals in a season. Those who criticize me and look down on me, who can do this, come back and complain in front of me!"

There was no more powerful reply than this. As soon as Chen Yingxiong said this, everyone was speechless.

Because they really can’t do it!

Core position, unlimited firing rights, no need to defend... These privileges were obtained by me with thirty-seven goals a season, thirty-nine goals a season. Why are you pointing fingers at me? Where can I cool off and stay?
