Chapter 119: Leading Liverpool (Second update, please vote for me)
Before the League Cup final, Liverpool's first team was preparing for the game in full swing, and the war of words with Manchester City was also heated.
But there is no reserve team.
During the League Cup semi-finals, after all, Martin O'Neill also transferred six players from the reserve team to go with the team, and four players got the chance to start.
But this time, there were no Liverpool reserve players at all.
No one told them to go to first-team training, and Clark didn't read out any roster.
It's as if this League Cup final has nothing to do with them at all.
But unlike the semifinals, the reserve team players no longer complained.
On the one hand, after the semi-finals, they have accepted this reality - when they need to compete for the championship, they are unreliable and cannot be trusted.
On the other hand, the opponent in the League Cup final is a team like Manchester City, and the players in the reserve team themselves have no confidence that they can beat Manchester City at Wembley Stadium. If you lose the championship in the end, who does it belong to? Although they all felt that they had worked hard to help Liverpool reach the League Cup semi-finals, they were unhappy when they were kicked. But they are also unwilling to bear the responsibility of losing the championship.
This is a very real problem. Everyone wants to stand on the podium and enjoy glory, but at the same time, no one wants to be reviled as a loser.
Therefore, even if they were disappointed with Martin O'Neill's decision, it was not as strong as in the semi-finals. Some even felt relieved...
Now they are all Liverpool fans, just waiting to cheer for the team.

The players in Liverpool's reserve team thought it didn't matter, but Chen Yingxiong felt awkward. In the semi-finals, at least there were still six reserve team players around. Those six people performed well in games and training. They can also be said to be the biggest contributors to the team's final advancement to the semi-finals.
But now there is no one left, and he is replaced by main first-team players such as Sanchez, Bale, Gerrard, and Gotze.
He doesn't have the mentality of "wanting to win but afraid of losing" like the reserve team players. Naturally, he can't understand that the reserve team players don't actually feel unhappy. Did he just think it was a little too ruthless to do so? After all, he helped Liverpool reach the semi-finals. Isn't it too cruel to not recruit anyone now?
He still remembers questioning his reserve team player Evan in the locker room, remembering scolding his captain Spearing, and remembering the other reserve team teammates who were silent...
I really don’t know how sad those reserve team players must be at this time.
What happened to the final? What’s wrong with the opponent being Manchester City?
We can defeat them too! Whether it's the first team or the reserve team, shouldn't Liverpool have such confidence?
Chen Yingxiong made a decision in his heart.
※ ※ ※
Wembley Stadium is already overcrowded, and the stands of the 90,000-seat stadium are packed. Liverpool and Manchester City fans occupied 95% of the seats. Few neutral fans came. Neutral fans are not interested in this kind of game. The remaining 5% should be left to sponsors. It is specially set aside to ensure safety. When a stadium is full, it is difficult to evacuate if there is an emergency.
Both teams have finished warming up and returned to the locker room to make final preparations for the game.
Martin O'Neill looked at his elite team in the locker room, and he had high hopes.
Manchester City is the loser of Liverpool. They just lost to them in the league. This League Cup championship is guaranteed.
What he is considering now is even getting this least valuable championship at the smallest cost.
"Actually, I have nothing to say, guys. We just beat them in the league, why can't we beat them again in the League Cup? So, I only have one request for this game - to bring back the championship trophy! "
※ ※ ※
Meanwhile, in the Manchester City dressing room, Mancini was trying to cheer up his players.
"This is our best chance for revenge! Defeat them in the final and steal their championship! Tell them that the league and cup finals are completely different! If you dare to look down on us, you will be unlucky!"
Because of Chen Yingxiong, Mancini has become particularly violent now.
But whether his encouragement would work or not, even he himself was not sure.
We can only take one step at a time...

"The two teams in this final are old rivals. The relationship between Liverpool and Manchester City has deteriorated sharply since Chen Yingxiong transferred to join, and eventually became mortal enemies today. So the relationship between these two teams There will definitely be no testing phase in the game, and it will definitely be like now, with an all-out attack from the beginning!”
the narrator said excitedly.
He likes to watch games like this. And it's not just him, the majority of fans also like this kind of game.
There was no conspiracy or complicated tactics. The two sides started to attack from the beginning of the game. It was like two boxers competing. They didn't circle around frequently, but started fighting each other with fists and fists as soon as they got up. Although it is very untechnical and does not look like two night boxers, this kind of duel may be what everyone wants to see most, because this kind of primitive fight full of wild atmosphere can arouse everyone. The beast deep inside the audience stimulates their adrenaline secretion.
This kind of offensive battle does not show the brilliance of the head coaches of both sides, and there is not much technical and tactical content in it. The fight is purely about the hard power and luck of both sides.
But everyone likes to watch games like this!
Liverpool and Manchester City are two teams with strong offensive power, and both believe in their offensive power.
But the most important thing is that these two teams are mortal enemies. Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet, so they don't care about arranging tactics... just punch them!
So what was supposed to be a cautious League Cup final between the two sides turned into a rare confrontation.
The fans are happy.

Chen Yingxiong is also very happy on the court. He likes offense and offensive football, but there are not many opportunities for such a reckless attack.
So he cherished this opportunity very much.
He actively ran during the game and created opportunities for himself and the team.
In fact, there are quite a lot of opportunities, because both sides are attacking and playing very open, so everyone can get a chance to shoot, whether it is Liverpool or Manchester City.
Here Chen Yingxiong had just completed a header in the penalty area, and over there Aguero had a long shot.
Here Sanchez took a long shot from outside the penalty area, and over there Lavezzi used his personal skills and speed to break into the penalty area and shoot.
Aguero's performance in this game was very outstanding, because it was previously reported that Manchester City was pursuing Chen Yingxiong. This incident gave him a great stimulation, and he even considered leaving. But even if he really wants to leave, before leaving, he must prove to the blind senior management of Manchester City that he is no worse than Chen Yingxiong! You pursued Chen Yingxiong in front of me. Have you ever thought about my feelings? You will regret it when I leave!
There was a fire burning in Aguero's heart, driving him to pursue goals on the court.
Aguero was already at a very high level, and now that he has enough motivation, it is really not difficult for him to score goals...
※ ※ ※
"Aguero...Aguero!!"
The commentator almost jumped out of his seat.
Such a fierce battle finally came to an end in the 20th minute!
In fact, judging from the situation on the field, it was not until the 20th minute that a goal was scored, which surprised many people.
"Aguero! Aguero!! He opened the scoring for Manchester City! Beautiful goal! He used his skills to force a breakthrough in front of the penalty area. After breaking in, he suddenly shot a cold arrow and the football passed through Leonard's fingers and went straight to the goal. Sprinting into the far corner of the goal! It’s a perfect reflection of his personal ability!”
"There were rumors that Manchester City was interested in buying Chen Yingxiong. Now Aguero has scored in the final. This is his response to Manchester City's senior management!"
"Look at Aguero's condition! With such an outstanding striker, Manchester City's top management is so confused that they want to buy Chen Yingxiong!"
As the commentators sounded, the Manchester City fans in the stands jumped up from their seats, waved their arms, and shouted Aguero's name loudly.
There are also fans shaking slogans and banners that have been prepared long ago: "We have Kun, we don't need that person!"
"Don't come here, hero, stay here!"
"We will always support you, Akun!"
After scoring the goal, Aguero rushed to the bottom of the rostrum. He knew that the top management of the Manchester City Club should be sitting there, so he ran here specifically and waved his fist at the top.
He just wants to show the senior management that he is no worse than Liverpool's Chen Yingxiong!
Manchester City club president Kaldoun Al Mubarak, who was sitting on the podium, saw Aguero's celebration and knew what it meant. These days, rumors about Aguero's departure have not stopped, but he knows that this is not a rumor. Aguero's agent has approached the club and expressed his desire to leave the team.
Chen Yingxiong didn't buy it, and now Aguero is making trouble to leave, which really gives him a headache.
Looking at Aguero's state, he also knows what the consequences will be if he lets Aguero go.
Now he has to give in to Aguero's agent and decide to offer Aguero a new contract. This contract will make his weekly salary the highest in the team and will far exceed Chen Yingxiong's current salary in Liverpool. Weekly salary standard.
I hope Aguero can be retained in this way.
Although Mubarak stood up and applauded Aguero's goal, there was no happy look on his face. He was still worried about how to keep Aguero.
Liverpool chairman Chen Xing and general manager Niang, who were sitting not far away from him, didn't feel bad about the team losing the ball. Their expressions were calm.
It's not that they don't care about their team, but that they have very high confidence in their team, especially Chen Yingxiong.
They believe that Chen Yingxiong will not allow Manchester City to run rampant in front of him.
