Volume 1: When a Male Appears, People Pay Attention. Chapter 278 I Call Your Name. Do You Dare to Agree? (Second Update Asking for Monthly Tickets)

Although they are worried about how to defeat Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, it does not mean that besides this matter, Liverpool will not do other things.

Before the second leg against Real Madrid, Liverpool still has a tough match in the league, an away game against Newcastle United.

Give up this game and concentrate on preparing for the game against Real Madrid?

Or should we try our best to win the game against Newcastle United first, continue to maintain the three-point advantage over Manchester United in the standings, and then find a way to beat Real Madrid?

It’s time for the most multiple-choice question again.

But in Martin O'Neill's view, this is not a multiple-choice question.

The answer he gave was that basically all the main players would start, with only one position being adjusted - Gareth Bale rested and Adam Johnson started in his place.

Apart from him, the starting players in other positions are exactly the same as when Liverpool played Real Madrid at home.

Before the start of this game, after getting the starting lineups of both sides, the media said that it seemed that Martin O'Neill was giving up the Champions League game. It seems that what Ferguson said is correct... He is indeed a coach with rich experience and a soft hand in winning championships. He can see through Liverpool coach Martin O'Neill's plan at a glance!

Unexpectedly, Ferguson would not be happy at all when he saw Liverpool's starting lineup. Now this result means that Liverpool will give up the Champions League and focus on the league.

But what he hopes is that Liverpool will give up the domestic league and assist in the Champions League, and then the domestic league title will be snatched away by Manchester United. Nothing was won in the Champions League either…

If Liverpool focuses on the domestic league, their three-point advantage may become an insurmountable barrier!

This is the outcome Ferguson least wants to see.

He really didn't expect that Martin O'Neill would be accused of deliberately giving up the Champions League for the sake of the league championship... It seems that the people of Liverpool really have a lot of resentment towards the league championship. No matter what, they must win this championship and fill a gap in their team's history.

I'm afraid it's hard to beat such a Liverpool team...

Ferguson began to worry.

※ ※ ※

Martin O'Neill's approach not only surprised Ferguson, but also surprised others.

Because they feel that the normal approach should be to rotate some of the main players. Let them get a rest, and some of the main players will continue to start. This can not only ensure that they get a rest, but also add weight to defeat Newcastle United away from home.

Now O'Neal does it. Of course, it increases the team's possibility of winning Newcastle United on the road, but what about the midweek Champions League game?

You must know that Liverpool will play two away games in three days. First, they will go to Newcastle, the northernmost city in England, and then after the game against Newcastle, they will spend one night in Newcastle and then fly directly to Madrid. This back and forth. It will have a great impact on the players' physical fitness, not to mention playing games. Playing away games is much more tiring than playing home games. In such a physically and mentally exhausted situation, I would fly hundreds of kilometers and go back and forth. Is Liverpool really still capable of fighting?

Do we really have to give up?

Is what Ferguson said right?

※ ※ ※

Before the game started, Martin O'Neill gave a final pep talk to his players in the locker room.

"Guys, counting this game, there are seven league games to go and we are only three points ahead of Manchester United. For these seven games, a three-point lead is nothing. Every next one Every game is a decisive battle. I will do this in every game - use our strongest lineup to face the opponent. Of course this will make you feel tired, but other than that, we have no other way. You want the league championship Well? Do you want to be forever remembered in Liverpool's century-old history? Do you want to be a club legend like Robbie Fowler, Kevin Keegan, Kenny Dalglish, Ian Rush... If you want to, you have to pay the price! It's not that easy to become a legend! The last seven games, guys!" Martin O'Neal held out seven fingers. "Seven decisive battles! Let us fight with all our strength in every game! Grit your teeth and persevere! This may be the toughest seven games you have ever encountered. But if you can persevere, you can be carried Enter the annals of history! You will be the first Liverpool players to win the Premier League title! Your contribution to the renaissance of Liverpool will make your names often mentioned decades later!"

When the outside world was speculating about what Martin O'Neal was thinking, Martin O'Neal made his decision, that is... starting from this game, he will not rotate again! Even if there is, it will be just a slight adjustment in one or two positions like today.

In this way, Liverpool's away game against Newcastle United began.

Everyone has focused their attention on this game. They want to see whether Liverpool, guided by this strategic thinking of making all-out efforts to ensure the league championship, can really get what they want, defeat Newcastle and throw the pressure on Liverpool.

Liverpool's players obviously know that the situation is critical now.

If you are not careful, you may be caught up by Manchester United, and then they will push you into the abyss and fall into an eternal hell!

So the Liverpool players really worked hard in this game.

From the very beginning of the game, they fought hard, hoping to score first.

But contrary to expectations, it was Newcastle who scored first.

Although Newcastle was beaten by Liverpool at Liverpool's home court, they had no power to fight back. But in their own home court, they are still very confident.

Amid the cheers of the home fans, Newcastle's players hugged each other and celebrated their goals.

Manchester United's game will be played one day later. It has always been like this during this period. Liverpool's game is on the first day and Manchester United's game is on the second day. It's like it was arranged this way on purpose. The race for the league title looks even more intense.

Ferguson also had the opportunity to watch Liverpool's games and learn about the latest developments of this opponent.

Now he is sitting in front of the TV, watching the game between Liverpool and Newcastle United.

Television cameras panned across the faces of several key Liverpool players. Their eyes were even a little confused.

Ferguson laughed when he saw this.

Liverpool's luck is really bad during this period. Even though they have been facing fierce battles continuously, they still encounter such things. It's no wonder that they have this expression...

It seems that God really wants Manchester United to win!

※ ※ ※

Martin O'Neill stood on the sidelines. A serious look on his face.

He stood upright, not pacing anxiously or waving his arms and shouting.

That serves no purpose other than infecting your own anxiety to the players.

But don’t look at his strong and calm appearance. In fact, he was already anxious and angry.

He cursed loudly in his mind this bad luck!

Newcastle's goal was indeed related to luck. It was originally a long shot from Gutierrez outside the penalty area.

Unexpectedly, Liverpool's midfielder Inler touched him, and the football accidentally landed at the feet of Cisse in the penalty area. And because the incident happened so suddenly, no one was watching Cisse. He took a shot directly, and the football flew into Liverpool's goal so easily...

In addition to Liverpool's bad luck, what else can this goal mean?

Damn luck!

※ ※ ※

Liverpool's bad luck continues.

They counterattacked vigorously. Hope the score can be equalized as soon as possible. But not only did they fail to get the score back, but their massive counterattack left too many gaps, allowing Newcastle to seize an opportunity and take advantage of a counterattack. Another city!

"Hell!" Goalkeeper Reina threw the football out of the goal with a look of displeasure.

Falling behind by two goals in the first half was definitely a huge blow to Liverpool.

Many Liverpool fans couldn't help but put their heads in their hands when they saw Newcastle score the football.

This time it's finally the Newcastle fans' turn to be proud!

In the first half of the season, their team was beaten 1:4 by Liverpool in the away game and had no power to fight back.

In that game, Newcastle scored first, and the Liverpool fans chanted Chen Yingxiong's name in unison. Then Chen Yingxiong pretended to raise his hands in response, and then Liverpool really won!

This makes Newcastle fans very upset. I feel like Chen Yingxiong is faking it.

This time they were two goals ahead. The Newcastle fans in the stands began to imitate the Liverpool fans calling Chen Yingxiong and shouted: "Hero! Hero! Where are you, the hero of Liverpool!"

This is an obvious joke and provocation.

They are not calling Chen Yingxiong to come out for help, but they are mocking Chen Yingxiong and the Liverpool fans. It felt like I couldn't beat it and ran home crying. She shouted her mother's name and jumped into her arms like a coquettish child.

This made Newcastle fans very unhappy.

The current situation gives Newcastle fans every reason to be so provocative, because they are not afraid!

We were only leading by one goal before, but now we are leading by two goals, and it's still at our home court. We don't believe that Chen Yingxiong can really defy the odds!

If you have the ability, just do it! See if you dare! Hahaha!

※ ※ ※

When the Liverpool fans heard the shouts of the Newcastle fans, they would naturally not be stupid or naive and think that the Newcastle United fans were kind-hearted and called Chen Yingxiong to help them.

They are stimulating and satirizing Liverpool fans!

Liverpool fans were furious, especially the members of the Red Bear. But there were too few of them. It only occupies a small space in the top stands of this stadium.

The momentum was completely suppressed by the Newcastle United fans. They usually couldn't even make a sound to cheer for Liverpool, let alone fight back against Newcastle.

Who told them to be on the road now? On other people's territory, they have no choice but to bow their heads no matter what...

But that doesn't stop them from feeling uncomfortable.

At this moment, something surprising happened to them!

※ ※ ※

Newcastle fans continued to irritate Liverpool fans and ridicule Chen Yingxiong.

They kept shouting: "Hero! Hero! We need you! Liverpool needs you! Come out quickly!!"

Imitating the Liverpool fans, they shouted Chen Yingxiong’s name in a pleading voice, and then burst into laughter after they finished shouting.

Even the commentators noticed what was going on in the stands.

"Newcastle United fans finally got revenge for the away game..."

"Newcastle United fans are really vindictive. They have paid back all the humiliation they suffered in the away game!"

"They continue to use this method to stimulate and provoke Liverpool and Chen Yingxiong. Dear viewers, please don't think that Newcastle United fans have a good relationship with Chen Yingxiong..."

"Liverpool fans must be very unhappy, but what can they do? This is away from home! On Newcastle United's territory!"

…

There was another round of cheers from Newcastle United fans in the stands.

The Newcastle United players also looked at Chen Yingxiong with joking eyes, wanting to see what this man's expression looked like under such a naked provocation. Embarrassed or angry?

The last time the two sides played against each other, the Newcastle players particularly remembered how Chen Yingxiong responded to the Liverpool fans and then scored a goal, which changed the atmosphere of the entire game.

At this moment, they saw Chen Yingxiong raised his right hand and clenched his open fingers into a fist!
