Chapter 92: A team that no one in Europe is willing to touch (Third update, please vote for me)

Chen Yingxiong received an invitation from FIFA, inviting him to attend the FIFA Ballon d'Or Awards Ceremony on January 11 next year. (, read and see

Since he fell out with FIFA, this is the first time FIFA has sent him an invitation letter.

He didn't know if he could win the prize, but this at least showed that his performance had made the other party unable to pretend to turn a blind eye.

In fact, he knew very well why FIFA sent him an invitation letter. Because he entered the final three-person candidate list.

Although this is still a secret, this "secret" is just to scare laymen. The media already knows who the last three people who can take the stage are.

Barcelona accounted for two and Liverpool one. The one from Liverpool is Chen Yingxiong.

Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo ranked fourth and failed to squeeze into the stage. It is said that he is not even planning to attend the awards ceremony this time. Because two enemies were on the stage, he was asked to stand up and applaud them from his seat? Can't do it!

The selection method of the FIFA Ballon d'Or is different from that of the UEFA Ballon d'Or. The final results are already known before the award ceremony. Who is first, who is second, and who is third? All we have to do is announce the results at that time.

For the UEFA Ballon d'Or, three people are selected first, and they come to the scene and compete again. The reporters on the scene will vote on the scores and the winner will be determined in the end.

No matter who wins the award among Chen Yingxiong, Messi and Neymar, Cristiano Ronaldo dislikes these three people.

Chen Yingxiong and Messi will not talk about it. He is unhappy with Neymar because in order to be able to go to Barcelona, ​​Neymar said many times such as "Barcelona is the number one team in the world, Real Madrid is not as good as them" and "Messi is the king of the ball. He is my idol" and "my dream is to join Barcelona".

This made Ronaldo very unhappy, so he didn't want to see any of the three men holding a gun, so he simply stopped going.

Chen Yingxiong didn't have this worry, so he didn't consider refusing.

Anyway, as long as Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo don't win, it's easy to say who else will win.

He doesn't have any special views on Neymar. Although he joined Barcelona, ​​Chen Yingxiong is not opposed to it as long as he is a Barcelona player. Still a scorer.

Neymar indeed has no grudges with Chen Yingxiong. He used to be in Brazil, far away from European football, and he had no intersection with Chen Yingxiong.

Now he is in Europe, but he has been thinking about his future for half the season and has no intention of competing with others. And since Barcelona has never met Liverpool, it is naturally even less likely that he has anything to do with Chen Yingxiong.

So in Chen Yingxiong's heart, Neymar is an ordinary player.

He won't care too much.

Of course, he actually forgot that after all, Neymar was in the big environment of Barcelona, ​​and his reputation in the Barcelona team is very bad, so there will definitely be people who try to throw dirty water on him when talking about him. .

How could Neymar not be affected even if he only stayed with that team for half a season?

The draw ceremony for the Champions League round of 16 was held before the end of 2014.

As the top team in the group, everyone felt that Liverpool would be drawn against a weak opponent, which would at least guarantee them a break into the quarterfinals.

But the results surprised many people.

The strongest team in the second place among the eight groups should be defending champion Bayern Munich.

Bayern Munich's performance has plummeted this season. It seems that after finally winning the championship, they have lost the motivation to fight. Therefore, they performed very poorly in the Champions League group stage. In the end, they stumbled and finally managed to get second place in the group, with ten points, which was two points higher than the third place... It can be said to be very difficult and dangerous.

But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. No matter what, he is still the defending champion! The aura is still there. And many people think that Bayern Munich is a bit slow. They will either be eliminated in the group stage. If they break out of the group stage, they are likely to reach the finals.

I don’t know where they got this theory from.

But Bayern Munich is indeed the most dangerous one in second place in the group.

And what a coincidence, Liverpool, the first in the group, got the second place in the group...

The opponents in last season's Champions League semi-finals met again.

As soon as the draw results came out, everyone was saying "This is a good opportunity for Liverpool to take revenge" because Bayern Munich's strength and momentum are not as good as last season.

Liverpool's momentum this season is so strong that the whole of Europe can feel it - they are currently the only team that has not lost since the start of the new season!

Whether it is the domestic league, League Cup, FA Cup or Champions League, we have never lost a game!

They only drew two games and won the rest!

Such impressive results cannot help but attract people’s attention.

During the draw ceremony, after Liverpool was drawn, the host said: "This is a team that no one wants to touch."

Many people laughed on the spot.

But those Liverpool fans sitting in front of the TV watching the draw didn't laugh.

Not only did they not laugh, many people started crying.

From being a joke across Europe, to becoming a powerful opponent that no one in Europe is willing to touch... Only Liverpool fans like them, who have been following Liverpool for decades, have the deepest experience of the ups and downs during this period of change!

Even after Liverpool won the European Champions Cup in 2005, they were not able to enjoy this treatment.

To be feared by the whole of Europe... does it seem a bit far away?

When was the last time you were treated like this?

The 1970s and 1980s?

By the way, at that time we won four European Champions Cups in eight years! At that time, we were the most powerful team in Europe, the best team, and no one could slow us down!

The Liverpool of that time...it’s been such a long time coming!

Although Liverpool's renaissance has just begun, many people are full of confidence in the team's prospects and believe that under the leadership of Martin O'Neill, Gerrard, and Chen Yingxiong, this team can really rebuild. Now that was brilliant.

After the lottery ceremony came out, reporters went everywhere to interview and wanted to hear the opinions of relevant people on these results.

O'Neal kept a low profile and did not talk about revenge. Some people regard it as a proactive display of weakness. After all, Bayern Munich is also the defending champion, so its strength should not be underestimated. Besides, the tenacious Germans are best at fighting tough battles, and they seem to be the old enemies of English and Spanish teams. Just like the Champions League semi-finals last season.

Some media are complaining about Liverpool because they met the second most powerful group. The result of this draw is really weird.

Why Liverpool? Why is it just a repeat of last season’s Champions League semi-finals?

Did UEFA really not do anything?

However, Chen Yingxiong is more open-minded than them. In an interview, he said: "We at Liverpool are not afraid of any opponent. Bayern Munich is good because now we have a chance to revenge."

He has not forgotten the pain of being eliminated by Bayern Munich last season and still keeps it in his heart.

So he is indeed very happy with this result. He was previously worried that he would not be able to meet Bayern Munich in the Champions League this season.

Well now, he has a chance to take revenge.

The teams that have defeated him are like the knots in his heart. He must defeat them in order to untie these knots. Only then will he feel that his thoughts are clear.

Chen Yingxiong is such a person who is determined to retaliate against others.

Bayern Munich also performed very tough, although their performance this season is not very good.

But they firmly believe that if they are given a chance to adjust during the winter break, they will recover. They share the same view as the media, and feel that as long as they do not die in the group stage, it will be like a dragon entering the sea, and no one can stop them.

And they feel that their poor performance in the group stage has a lot to do with their tactical style.

Bayern Munich's current tactics are very pragmatic and place great emphasis on defense. This is also the reason why they were able to defeat Barcelona in last season's final. With Neuer as the core, Bayern Munich's penalty area was built into an impregnable and solid city.

But this tactic that emphasizes defense is of little use in the group stage, because there were draws in the group stage. In addition, Gomez was injured just at the beginning of the season, and the team's offensive power was greatly reduced. There is nothing that can be done about it.

When it comes to the knockout rounds, relying on defense, we can drag the game to a penalty shootout! At that point, penalty kicks will determine the outcome.

In last season's Champions League final, Bayern Munich dragged the game into a penalty shootout, and then relied on Neuer's god-possessed performance to win the Champions League championship.

This season, they plan to do the same.

So what if Chen Yingxiong can score a goal? We return to defense across the board, and if you add Neuer, you won't even be able to score!

Now that Casillas is old, Neuer is beginning to have the momentum to replace Casillas and become the world's number one goalkeeper. Neuer also earned the nickname "Saint Neuer" among German fans.

Therefore, Bayern Munich still has the confidence to challenge Liverpool.

Even the German media described the game this way after the draw results came out.

"A collision between the sharpest spear and the strongest shield!"

Chen Yingxiong is the sharpest spear, and Neuer is the strongest shield in the world in their opinion.

As long as this shield can withstand Chen Yingxiong's spear attack, winning Liverpool will not be a problem!

And they are very confident in their own, the strongest shield in the world.
