Chapter 127 Why do we fight? (Second update, please vote for me)

When Liverpool lost a game, the entire English media cheered as if it was a grand festival. ""

Liverpool has not yet completely knocked Manchester United off their throne, but they have already tasted the taste of "a big tree attracts the wind".

Although losing a game is nothing to today's Liverpool, it does not hurt the muscles and bones, but seeing people outside gloating so much, it is inevitable that they will feel unhappy.

So in the next game, Liverpool must win and use actual results to fight back those bitches who are waiting to see Liverpool's jokes.

But what Martin O'Neill and the others said by "the next game" was the next league game, not the real next game. Because the next game is not a league game, but an FA Cup game. Liverpool faces Aston Villa at home.

This is a quarter-final.

If Liverpool can get past Aston Villa, they will reach the semi-finals of the FA Cup...

But now Martin O'Neill's mood is very contradictory, because he actually doesn't want Liverpool to continue to win.

If Liverpool can reach the semi-finals of the FA Cup, then for Liverpool, the schedule will be more intensive. The semi-finals and finals of the FA Cup are in April and May. These two months are the best time for various competitions. In the critical stage of the final sprint, the domestic league and the Champions League were enough to give him a headache. Now there is an FA Cup. Although there are only two games, it is still a distraction.

So in fact, Martin O'Neill hopes that Liverpool can stop at the quarter-finals of the FA Cup...

There is no need to go further. If you take even one step forward, public opinion and fans will not allow Liverpool to lose. You must know that if you lose at that time, you will lose a championship.

Therefore, in this FA Cup quarter-final, he still sent the entire reserve team plus Chen Yingxiong.

Chen Yingxiong really couldn't control the situation. He wanted to get him out of the FA Cup, but he didn't appreciate it and insisted on participating in this kind of competition. ("") And the reasons given by others are also reasonable.

He said: "I haven't won the FA Cup yet, boss."

What else can I say?

Let him go...

※※※

Because of the "lessons learned" from the League Cup, the players in the reserve team knew that this would be their last game.

Regardless of whether the team can reach the semi-finals, this will be their last FA Cup game.

Some players even had this idea - we worked so hard, but in the end we couldn't make it to the semi-finals, so what's the use of working so hard? Send the team to the semi-finals and then be invited to the stands as a spectator?

When this kind of emotion appears during a game, it becomes very dangerous.

After all, their opponents in the quarter-finals are not the previous English Championship or English League One teams.

Aston Villa is a Premier League team and is ranked sixth. It is a team that hopes to participate in the Europa League next season and is not weak.

Facing such a team, if you are still hesitant and distracted, you will probably die miserably.

Not to mention that Martin O'Neill sent a reserve team!

After the big list was released, it aroused the anger of Aston Villa.

Because they feel they are being underestimated by Liverpool.

After all, we are also a Premier League team and ranked high. Why do you send a reserve team to send us away? Do you think we are easy to bully and that any reserve team can defeat us? Well, let’s show you the consequences of doing this!

If elimination is the ending you are looking forward to, we will make it happen!

One side is hesitant, while the other side is high-spirited. It’s easy to imagine what the result will be...

In the game, Aston Villa opened the scoring and took a 1:0 lead. You must know that this is Liverpool's home court!

In the league, on this court, just this season, Liverpool beat Aston Villa with a score of 5:0, leaving Aston Villa unable to fight back. ("") Even in the away game, Liverpool defeated their opponents 2:0. It can be said that if the Liverpool first team comes, they can defeat Aston Villa very easily at home. Even if Aston Villa uses all their main players like they do now, it will be useless.

But now Aston Villa is facing a second-tier team that is not very motivated...

"Aston Villa! They scored! They took the lead! It seems that Liverpool's 'reserve legend' is coming to an end - whether it is the League Cup or the FA Cup, Liverpool insists on using the reserve team plus a Chen Yingxiong. Come to participate in the game, this approach helped Liverpool reach the semi-finals of the League Cup. In the end, relying on all the main players, they won the League Cup. But after all, the FA Cup is a higher-level event than the League Cup. Here they compete The chances of joining a Premier League team have also increased a lot. Now it seems that it will be difficult for the Liverpool reserve team to get past Aston Villa..."

The commentator is also not optimistic about Liverpool's prospects.

Not only the commentators, but many Liverpool fans in the stands couldn't help but complain after seeing the team lose the ball.

"I'm fed up with Martin O'Neill's arrangement! Why does the cup have to be played by the reserve team? Is it because he thinks the cup is not important enough? But I think the cup is important because we can win a championship! In that case, why? Why not use the first team from the beginning?”

"Facing Aston Villa, I still want to use the reserve team to solve the problem. Should I say that Martin O'Neill is too naive or too naive?"

"How can such a team withstand Aston Villa with all its main players? Even if it is at our home court, it will be useless! Although we have heroes! But even the greatest heroes need helpers! Even if he is King Arthur also needs a Knight of the Round Table, right? Without suitable teammates to help him, why should he challenge the entire Aston Villa team alone?"

"What the heck! I think Liverpool's journey to the FA Cup will end here at most!"

…

Amid everyone’s complaints, the first half came to an end.

The score is still 0:1. Liverpool, who are playing at home, are lagging behind. No, perhaps it should be said that Liverpool's reserve team, which is playing at home, is lagging behind.

The reason why Aston Villa failed to expand the score was related to the fact that they squandered some opportunities, but no Aston Villa player was upset because they felt that they could not win against such a Liverpool reserve team with no fighting spirit. It is a matter of course, without any difficulty or suspense. If you score one goal in the first half and another goal in the second half, the game is won. Why should you use all your strength against a reserve team?

Even if the opponent has a Chen Yingxiong, so what? Everyone saw his performance in the first half. Without the support of outstanding teammates, he could only stand alone and was nothing to be afraid of!

Today we will defeat Liverpool and Chen Yingxiong!

Let them taste two consecutive defeats!

With that confidence, Aston Villa walked into the dressing room.

※※※

Similarly, with a poor performance in the first half, Liverpool's players also entered the dressing room.

Martin O'Neal looked at this group of players and didn't know what he should do. He actually hopes that the team can stop here, so that in the following schedule, he can concentrate on dealing with opponents in the domestic league and the Champions League. But at the same time, he felt a little pity - we could have competed for an FA Cup championship...

Just when he didn't know what to say to his players, Chen Yingxiong stood up.

"Guys, what's wrong with you?" he asked loudly. "Our performance in the first half was fucking bad, but I don't think it's our true level! So what if our opponent is a Premier League team?"

Faced with Chen Yingxiong's questioning, most of the reserve team players lowered their heads and were unwilling to face him.

Because of the little thoughts in their hearts, it would be embarrassing for them to speak out - in any case, they are members of the Liverpool Club, but they do not put the overall interests of the club first... But this kind of little thoughts are still there You can think about it in your mind and say it outright...or say it in front of the first-team coach. Unless you don't want to continue to be involved in Liverpool, it's better to be honest.

When Chen Yingxiong saw that everyone was silent, he suddenly thought of the previous question.

He got it.

He looked at Martin O'Neal who was standing at the door. Some words were really inappropriate to say in front of this head coach. Although he didn't care, not every player could be as fearless as he was.

But do you want to succumb to the petty thoughts of these reserve players and lose the FA Cup?

He didn't know if others cared about this championship, but he wanted it very much, very much!

He was unwilling to let go of his championship trophy just like that.

What's mine is mine, no one can take it away!

When Martin O'Neill saw that everyone was silent, he also felt that it was outrageous for him to stand here and say nothing.

He coughed and walked to the center of the locker room.

"I'm really not satisfied with your performance in the first half. You must know that you are wearing Liverpool jerseys and you are playing at Anfield. You should show some fighting spirit!"

In fact, he somewhat guessed the thoughts of these Liverpool reserve team players.

Because they know that even if they help the team reach the semi-finals, they will not be able to participate in the semi-finals.

Yes, if Liverpool really reaches the semi-finals, then he will have to change his mind and pursue his second cup championship this season.

By then, players from the reserve team will definitely not be eligible to participate in the semifinals.

But he can't directly tell these players: "You can watch and play as you please. Even if we lose the game in the end, I won't care."

Where is such a head coach? Once he said this, he would no longer be able to maintain his authority in the locker room, and would inevitably end up like Mancini.
