Volume 1: Males Come and Go, People Pay Attention Chapter 1 This Is a Watershed (First Update, Please Vote for Me!)
Chapter 1 This is a watershed (first update, please vote for me!)
The 2013-2014 season is over, and there are many things worth remembering.
A few years later, when everyone recalls this season, they will definitely find that this season was an important watershed. In this season, Liverpool won the Premier League championship for the first time. The giant who had been sleeping for a long time woke up, yawned, and then stretched. Just this action caused the entire Premier League to be shaken like an earthquake. So what changes will what they do in the future bring to the Premier League?
Ferguson is old, and no matter how hard he persists, he will not be able to persist forever. It is really like what Martin O'Neill said at the press conference. The glory of the past belongs to Manchester United, but Liverpool holds the future.
In this season, Liverpool not only won a league championship, they also broke a series of records, including Chelsea's single-season record of 103 goals set by Chelsea in the 2009-2011 season. Liverpool's new record is One hundred and five goals. In addition, they also broke the single-season points record also created and maintained by Chelsea. In the season when Chelsea won the league championship in 2004-2005, under the leadership of Mourinho, they won a record nine points. Fifteen points, but now this record is gone. The new record belongs to Liverpool. They scored 102 points and became the most capable team in the history of the Premier League.
At the same time, Chen Yingxiong scored 57 goals in a single season and was awarded the top scorer. He is the player with the most goals in a single season in the history of the Premier League. In the entire history of the English top league, he can also rank second in the number of goals in a single season. Just three goals shy of Dixie Dean's sixty.
Many people feel pity for Chen Yingxiong. If he works harder, maybe he can break Dixie Dean's record?
Because of such a good opportunity, who knows how long it will take before I can meet it again.
Fifty-seven goals, only three goals missing! Do you think Chen Yingxiong can easily score 57 goals every season? !
Others were worried about him, but Chen Yingxiong didn't care.
This kind of thing is a trivial matter to him. Rich people like to say that "any problem that money can solve is not a problem", while Chen Yingxiong believes that "any problem that can be solved by scoring goals alone is not a problem."
Whether he is the top scorer for several consecutive years or a record-breaking top scorer, scoring goals alone can determine the outcome. For Chen Yingxiong, this is not a problem.
If we don’t break the record this season, there will be the next season. If not, there will be the next season... There will always be a day when the record can be broken.
Isn’t it just sixty balls? I have worked hard for one season, I don’t believe it can’t be broken!
There are many records belonging to Liverpool and Chen Yingxiong this season. For example, Chen Yingxiong’s five hat tricks in a single season not only broke the Liverpool team’s record, but also broke the Premier League record – Alan Shearer’s five hat tricks in the 1995-1996 season. Scored a hat-trick for Blackburn, four of which were at home and one away. Of course, although Chen Yingxiong scored two consecutive hat tricks in the 36th and 37th rounds of the league, he was not the fastest player to score two consecutive hat tricks in the Premier League. This honor belongs to Lai Les Ferdinand, who was playing for Queens Park Rangers at the time, was still the first year of the Premier League in 1992-93. Les Ferdinand scored two consecutive hat-tricks during Easter, against Nottingham Forest on April 10, and A visit to Everton two days later.
However, it is difficult for Chen Yingxiong to break this record, because it depends not only on his personal strength, but also on the schedule. Because it is almost impossible to have league schedules that are only one day apart...
In addition, Chen Yingxiong scored ten times in a single season, setting a new record in the Premier League.
Not to mention his world record of scoring goals in twenty-five consecutive league games.
Setting a record is not difficult, nor is it unusual, but with so many records hitting Chen Yingxiong and Liverpool, it makes people think about a question - is it really like Ferguson said, is Liverpool's success a fluke?
Is it a fluke? We’ll know next season, right?

The season is over and Liverpool fans can still be happy all summer until the new season comes. Players can also go on vacation to distant places with a contented and relaxed mood. However, as the general manager of the club, Niang can't rest.
And it's not just Niang, managers of other teams have also begun to prepare for next season.
Search around in the transfer market, meet with the stars you have long been optimistic about, bargain with the opposing club, and also deal with many business contracts, finalize the sponsor contracts for next season, and participate in setting the ticket prices for next season... In short, we will work together with These people have to take care of things related to club operations.
At the same time, in order for the team to achieve good enough results next season, they have to do these things as early as possible. There is almost no vacation at all.
For people like them, the new season has begun.
Liverpool's outstanding performance this season has given sponsor Nike a taste of the sweetness. They found that cooperating with Chen Yingxiong was a good deal. When Chen Yingxiong was signed before, Chen Yingxiong's reputation in world football was not as high as it is now. But as soon as he signed, Chen Yingxiong became awesome, scoring consecutive goals, winning championship trophies, and breaking records... Now with the As Chen Yingxiong's fame grows, Nike's brand image has also been well publicized.
Sponsoring Liverpool now is also rewarding.
The most important thing is that Nike will feel happy when they think about their old rival Adidas regretting after seeing Liverpool's performance.
In fact, Adidas does regret it. At first they let Chen Yingxiong go, but Chen Yingxiong's performance surprised them. Later, they were originally Liverpool's jersey sponsor. Chen Yingxiong transferred to Liverpool, which was equivalent to becoming their image spokesperson in disguise. Moreover, they did not need to pay Chen Yingxiong any transfer fee, as long as Chen Yingxiong appeared in the picture. The scene of the hero playing in a Liverpool jersey is equivalent to another free advertisement for Adidas. What a great thing.
However, Adidas had a headache. They believed that Liverpool's performance was not good and the decline was severe. Such performance was not worthy of their sponsorship. After the contract expired, they decided not to renew the contract with Liverpool. It seems that they feel that they are the top two sports brands today. Sponsoring the down-and-out Liverpool really makes them feel embarrassed. Liverpool is not in line with their brand value and image.
But in that case, it seems that they should cancel the sponsorship contract with the Chinese football team first, because the performance of Chinese football and those bad things are not in line with Adidas's brand value and image... But why is Adidas still sponsoring? To put it bluntly, it’s because the Chinese market is vast.
But Adidas is having a hard time, and it always seems to be out of luck with Chen Yingxiong. Ever since they actively rejected Chen Yingxiong, they could no longer be associated with Chen Yingxiong. Chen Yingxiong went to Liverpool, but they did not renew his contract with Liverpool. They sponsored the Chinese team, but the Chinese team never recruited Chen Yingxiong... It really made the German sports giant who wanted to take advantage of Chen Yingxiong's huge popularity in the Chinese market very depressed. .
And Liverpool's current performance also made Adidas almost vomit three liters of blood.
Liverpool's performance this season is so dazzling that no one would have imagined that even a season ago Liverpool was still struggling for a spot in the Europa League.
Now the whole of Europe and even the world are discussing Liverpool. Photos and pictures of Liverpool players wearing the new Nike jerseys frequently appear in newspapers, magazines, and TV news programs.
There are more and more fans wearing Liverpool jerseys around the world. Originally, Adidas' current position in the industry is not as good as Nike's. It has changed from the world's first to the world's second. Now they have lost Chen Yingxiong and Liverpool, and their influence has begun to decline, while Nike is thriving...
Later, it was said that there was a personnel turmoil in the top management of Adidas. At that time, the senior management responsible for negotiating the contract with Chen Yingxiong and deciding not to renew the contract with Liverpool all resigned... But what does this kind of thing have to do with Chen Yingxiong and Liverpool?

The holidays have begun, and all the teammates around him are gone. Even Carragher, who has just retired, is in a good mood and takes his family to the Spanish island of Mallorca for a vacation to enjoy a rare leisure time.
However, Chen Yingxiong was not in a hurry to go on vacation. He had another thing to deal with, and he had to deal with it well - he had to ask Taylor Swift, who came to Liverpool to sing for the team's championship celebration. Have a meal. Isn't it because of Chen Yingxiong that Taylor Swift came here to support Liverpool? It doesn’t matter that they didn’t pay for the labor, and they didn’t reimburse them for the round-trip air tickets, food and accommodation. Taylor Swift just asked Chen Yingxiong to treat her to a meal. What a meager reward it was. Therefore, Chen Yingxiong must treat him to this meal.
This was a private dinner, there was no one else, just Taylor Swift and him, and...his girlfriend Kristen Cabrera.
Taylor Swift took the initiative to ask Chen Yingxiong to bring Christian Cabrera. Although Chen Yingxiong was a little surprised, he agreed without hesitation. Because even if Taylor Swift didn't say it, he would take it - going out for a date with a woman for dinner, but not calling her girlfriend, leaving her alone at home, Chen Yingxiong couldn't do it even if he tried again. Such a heartless thing happened.
This will be the first time Cabrera has come face to face with Taylor Swift.
The two of them had never been able to get together before.
When Chen Yingxiong got acquainted with Taylor Swift on the set, Cabrera was not with him. When he returned to Liverpool to meet Cabrera, Taylor Swift had already left the crew and returned to the United States. Later, he went to the United States with the team to play a warm-up match. Taylor Swift came to watch the game in person. After the game, the two went on a date. Cabrera was not around at that time. Later, when the new movie was released and premiered, Taylor Swift came in behind and Kristen Cabrera walked in front, and the two of them didn't see each other.
Although they all know each other from Chen Yingxiong's mouth or other channels, such as news reports, they have never met.
Now, the king, finally wants to see the king...
