Chapter 20: The experience of becoming a captain (fourth update, please vote for me)

In response to Manchester United's aggressive offensive in the transfer market, Liverpool finally responded, but to people's disappointment, Liverpool did not fight head-on and quickly signed a well-known star as a counterattack, but announced that Liverpool would no longer buy. Any player. Press ctrl+d to quickly collect """. This means that Liverpool's transfer activities are basically over.

This disappointed those who were waiting to see the excitement.

Originally, they thought that Liverpool would fight to the death with a mortal enemy like Manchester United. Since Manchester United provoked Liverpool in the transfer market, how could Liverpool remain indifferent?

Unexpectedly, Liverpool was really indifferent!

The media in Manchester seized this opportunity and ridiculed Liverpool as a coward, bloodless and afraid to fight. If we start the new season with this mentality, we will lose to Manchester United on the pitch.

Some media believe that Manchester United has gained the upper hand in terms of momentum. In the new season, Manchester United will burst out with strong fighting power and knock Liverpool off the league championship. Liverpool's restoration will only last for a short season and then come to an end. .

Even Liverpool fans have been affected by these media nonsense and have begun to worry about Liverpool's prospects. But they have all forgotten that this summer's Liverpool is the strongest Liverpool, and their prospects have never been as wonderful as this summer.

Faced with the provocation from the Manchester media, Chen Yingxiong naturally had to do this kind of thing. He has already been recognized as mt by Martin O'Neill, and he is responsible for attracting hatred and reducing pressure for the team.

In an interview with reporters, Chen Yingxiong talked about the Manchester media's evaluation of the transfer strategy of both parties. He said: "I find it very strange why our transfer should be criticized by others, and this other person is still ours. Opposite. To put it this way, I hope Manchester United buys Messi. If Manchester United doesn’t do it, can I say that Manchester United has no eggs?”

This statement was well-founded and the reporters in Manchester who asked the question were speechless.

But this is unreasonable in the first place. The media took this opportunity to attack Liverpool. This is just an excuse. So regardless of whether Chen Yingxiong is right or not, the media in Manchester will not let it go.

The attack on Liverpool continues.

When Chen Yingxiong responded to this matter for the second time, he stopped trying to reason with everyone. He showed everyone his arrogant side.

"Okay, I actually don't want to say this, because it's too hurtful. I know that many people will be upset because of what I said. They won't be able to eat, sleep well, and will become haggard just by looking at it. ...But I still want to say it, because if I don't say it, the flies won't stop. What I want to say is...even if Liverpool doesn't buy anyone from now on, with this lineup now, we can still Beat Manchester United and win the league title! Are you satisfied now?"

Looking at a group of reporters who were shocked and speechless, Chen Yingxiong raised his eyebrows in demonstration.

Around this time, but last year, in Liverpool's new season promotional video, they shouted the slogan of overthrowing Manchester United. He was laughed at by many people at the time. Because that Liverpool team at that time had no ability to overthrow Manchester United. But Manchester United is the well-deserved overlord, and Liverpool may be reviving, but who knows how long they can last.

So as soon as this sentence came out, it was laughed at mercilessly.

Time passed, and a year later, when Chen Yingxiong once again made similar bold statements, many reporters' expressions were not disdainful smiles, but stern expressions. This sentence reminded them. They laughed at Liverpool to their heart's content, only to be slapped extremely hard by Liverpool at the end of the season.

Now no one dares to take their rhetoric as a joke anymore. Because through last season's performance, it is clear to everyone that this Liverpool team is really capable of overthrowing Manchester United - didn't they do it once last season?

Chen Yingxiong thought that after he said it, some people would ridicule, some would be disdainful, and some would try to continue to provoke him, so that he could justifiably slap them in the face - it would be a shame for them not to slap him when he came to their door. But the reporters' performance disappointed him. After hearing what he said, their faces turned serious.

It seemed that they had thought of something that made them more vigilant.

Gee, that’s so boring!

A bunch of useless trash! I was frightened by just one word...

Chen Yingxiong waved goodbye to the reporters and left the training ground.

After Liverpool announced the end of its actions in the transfer market, Manchester United gradually became silent. The two giants in the Premier League have stopped making any moves, so naturally there will be no drama in the transfer market.

However, the transfer market in the Premier League is still very busy this summer.

The influx of a large number of stars has made fans full of expectations for the new season.

The rise of Liverpool has also added a lot of suspense to the Premier League.

Fans can't wait for the new Premier League season to start soon.

But Chen Yingxiong was completely opposite to their ideas.

He now wishes the Premier League would be postponed for a few more months.

Because he has not yet let Gotze adapt to life in Liverpool.

Speaking of this issue and this person gave Chen Yingxiong a headache.

Gotze is a genius, but why is he not a language genius?

Until now, the two of them can only communicate very, very simply.

Gotze doesn't speak much English, and Chen Yingxiong doesn't speak a word of German.

When two people chat, they basically use their hands and mouth at the same time. They talk with their mouths and make gestures with their hands.

Watching the two of them chatting was like watching two children less than two years old communicating with each other. They seemed to be quite expressive, but they didn't know what they said.

How can he help Gotze adapt to life in Liverpool if he can't even communicate well.

Chen Yingxiong once considered absorbing Gotze into the Eat, Drink and Play band. The Eat, Drink and Play Band has become the best way for new players to adapt to Liverpool, enhance relationships with teammates, and cultivate a tacit understanding.

But Gotze is an exception. He was not at all interested in the activities of the Skittles. He is a teetotaler and did not drink any alcoholic beverages at the team's welcome banquet for new players.

People who don’t drink are even less interested in gathering in a food and drink band.

He only likes football, and all he can think about is football football football. After finishing the training, he went directly back to the hotel where he was staying. The media squatted in front of the hotel for almost half a month, rain or shine, without interruption for a day. They were surprised to find that Gotze ran out to play at night...

Chen Yingxiong couldn't help but complain privately, "Are all Germans so boring?"

While Gerald and Renner expressed sympathy for Chen Yingxiong, they gloated and refused to help.

In fact, it is not about gloating. The two old captains have reached a consensus - Chen Yingxiong still has a long way to go if he wants to become a real leader. It is not just about scoring goals continuously in the game, but also clapping his hands and shouting loudly when he falls behind. Even if he is a qualified captain.

A captain has many facets, and in-game responsibilities are only part of his mission.

Off the court, he has to care about the daily life of his teammates and take care of the new players. At any time, he has to regard himself as a leader.

Chen Yingxiong doesn't seem to have such a consciousness now. So helping Ge Ze this time can be regarded as a test and training for Chen Yingxiong.

If he can pass this level, then in the future, the Liverpool captain's armband can be safely and boldly handed over to him forever.

If it doesn't work, it means that Chen Yingxiong is still too young and lacks training.

The new season is about to begin, and the Community Shield is just four days away. Once the Community Shield is played, it means that the new season has officially begun, and the first round of the league will be in the next week.

Chen Yingxiong and Gotze have made no progress before.

Of course Gotze knows that Chen Yingxiong is here to help him adapt to life and football in Liverpool. However, the language that two people can communicate is extremely limited. At the end of the day, they are too exhausted to say a few things, not to mention that life is actually very trivial things. It is difficult to communicate even if there is no problem with language...

Chen Yingxiong invited Ge Ce to hang out several times, but Ge Ce politely declined. He really didn't get used to the things that Heroes and the others played - a group of drunk people hugging and groping girls.

He prefers to be alone in his hotel room, thinking about how to adapt to Liverpool's tactics.

Liverpool's tactics require the player to advance quickly, and the midfielder does not need to control the ball too much. It requires him to be more resolute when rushing forward, and to deliver the ball decisively. After turning the opponent's defense into a quagmire, he must pass the football to Chen Yingxiong or Suarez will complete the shot. In addition, when defending, he is required to counterattack on the spot after losing the ball. Cooperate with his teammates in the frontcourt to form a two- or three-person attack on the opponent's ball carrier. After intercepting the ball, he immediately looks for Chen Yingxiong. Or Suarez.

This is nothing special, it is similar to the work he did in Dortmund.

However, he lacked a tacit understanding with the players. He was not familiar with his new teammates at all, and the language barrier prevented him from communicating with his teammates. Everyone also lacked understanding of him. This is reflected in the complete lack of understanding on the court.

But apart from accumulating tacit understanding over time, how else can we increase it?

This is what worries Gotze.

※※※

Gotze is worried about how to form a tacit understanding with his new teammates.

Chen Yingxiong is also worried about how to help Gotze adapt to everything in the new environment.

After several days of hard thinking, he finally came up with a solution - let Gotze move to his house!

Aren’t you unfamiliar with it? Aren’t you uncomfortable with it? I stay with you twenty-four hours a day, so I don’t believe I can’t help you get used to it!
