Chapter 129 Because of the Hero (Fourth update, please vote for me)
Aston Villa are indeed in trouble. church
When the players of Liverpool's reserve team adjusted their mentality and rediscovered their goal, they were full of confidence in the next game. What about Aston Villa? What about Premier League teams? Wasn't it beaten 5:0 by our first team at home? Even if we are not as good as the first team of assistants, it is not too much for us to beat you 2:1 at home, right?
However, the Aston Villa players still looked at their opponent with old eyes, thinking that Chen Yingxiong's goal was just an accident.
There was even trouble for Aston Villa players to run to the referee after losing the ball. They believed that Chen Yingxiong had committed a foul when he broke through Peters.
Seeing this scene, the Chinese reporters in the media gallery laughed, and a sense of intellectual superiority arose spontaneously.
These reporters who have followed Chen Yingxiong to Russia, Italy, and England since he first debuted, but it is very clear that Chen Yingxiong’s move to get rid of the close defense was made when he was still playing for Zenit St. Petersburg. It happens sometimes. This is not called a foul at all. It is a reasonable use of the rules and a reasonable physical collision!
It's just that over the years, as Chen Yingxiong's skills at his feet have gradually improved, and as he has more and more weapons to turn around and get rid of the defense, he has rarely used this kind of purely physical movements, because there is no technical content.
However, rarely using it does not mean that he does not use it at all, or that he will not use it. Some weapons are always there, but most of the time they are not used. The greatest function of this weapon is to intimidate, deter the opponent, and deter the enemy.
Chen Yingxiong's body is actually a deterrent!
He rarely uses it now, but everyone should know that his body is actually the most terrifying weapon. It is a pity that many people have forgotten now. It seems that Chen Yingxiong who has improved his skills should abandon his body.
The reaction of the Aston Villa players illustrates this point well.
Of course, the referee will not pay attention to the protests and appeals of the Aston Villa players. He upheld the original decision and insisted that Chen Yingxiong's goal was valid. church

When the game restarted, the Aston Villa players had not yet recovered from the accident of conceding the ball, and the Liverpool players had already taken advantage of the situation to launch a more intense offensive.
Only then did everyone realize that this Liverpool team was completely different from the previous performance!
It's like they suddenly changed ten people...
No one knows why Liverpool's reserve team, which had previously seemed so hopeless, changed so much.
Is it just because of Chen Yingxiong’s goal?
Martin O'Neill may know best why these players have changed like this. He saw Chen Yingxiong gathering all the players into a circle after scoring a goal. Chen Yingxiong must have said something to them that made them change like this, right?
What would he say?
Martin O'Neill could not have imagined this.
But looking at it now, if this momentum continues, Liverpool may win the game in one go...
He knows his team best, even if it is a reserve team, some things are the same.
Once they get their momentum up, they will be unstoppable.
And this is Liverpool's home game, and their combat effectiveness can be doubled.
※※※
Everything was as Martin O'Neill expected. In the next game, the morale-boosted Liverpool reserve team firmly took control of the situation on the field, and they launched waves of offensives.
There was a lot of noise in front of Aston Villa's goal, as if they might lose another ball at any time.
The Aston Villa players were terrified and didn't know why it was like this. (《》)
During the halftime break, they were still in a relaxed and happy mood. They felt that winning this game would not be a problem, and they were still dreaming of giving Liverpool a two-game losing streak.
Unexpectedly, now it is completely reversed...
In Liverpool's offensive, they could only barely support it, and they couldn't even think about counterattacks.
In fact, they were completely stunned by Liverpool's rapid offensive, and they underestimated the enemy too much, which led to such an embarrassing situation. As long as you give them some time to recover and calm down, with their strength, they can still suppress the Liverpool reserve team.
But God... no, Chen Yingxiong didn't give them time to calm down.
Just four minutes after he scored, Chen Yingxiong scored again.

"Hero - scored twice! Beautiful!"
Harry Levi stood up from his seat, raised his arms and shouted.
"Liverpool has taken the lead! Liverpool has completed the reversal!"
"This time it was a heroic header. Aston Villa's defenders were like a group of dwarfs in front of him. They were completely unable to stop Liverpool's air attack!"
After landing, Chen Yingxiong could finally celebrate this time. He opened his arms and rushed directly to the left back Jack Robinson who assisted him, and then gave the young teammate a strong hug.
Other players also swarmed up and surrounded the two people to celebrate the goal.
At this time, everyone did not think about whether Liverpool would still have a role if they entered the semi-finals, but simply enjoyed the game.
※※※
"It looks like Aston Villa is going to be doomed... I saw the shadow of Liverpool's first team..." A commentator has already sentenced Aston Villa to death in advance.
"Aston Villa underestimated the opponent in the first half. They thought they could easily defeat a reserve team. They did have a chance. They had many opportunities in the first half and could end the game early at halftime. . But they all squandered it, and now it’s their turn to be punished!”
The Aston Villa players on the TV screen lowered their heads, looking helpless and frustrated.
"Actually, being taken ahead by Liverpool is far from the end of the world for Aston Villa, and it's not the end of the game. But if the hero is allowed to completely break out of form, Aston Villa will be unlucky... It's very difficult now. Obviously, the hero's state has been completely activated! He can take care of the entire Aston Villa by himself!"
When Martin O'Neill saw Chen Yingxiong celebrating a goal with his reserve team teammates on the sidelines, he knew that he should probably think about how to prepare for the FA Cup semi-finals, then reach the final and win the championship trophy. …
※※※
In the end, Liverpool defeated Aston Villa 2:1 at home and entered the semi-finals.
Liverpool relied on the reserve team and Chen Yingxiong to get through all the way and reach the semi-finals.
This approach not only exercises the reserve team players, but also allows the first team players to get enough rest.
However, this approach does not meet the conditions for dissemination and promotion. Everyone has a reserve team. Some teams' reserve teams may be stronger than Liverpool's reserve team.
But the problem is that these teams don’t have Chen Yingxiong...
Chen Yingxiong is the biggest contributor to this team's success in reaching the semi-finals in both cups, and is the key to the problem.
Without Chen Yingxiong, Liverpool's reserve team tactics would not be effective.
Therefore, it is impossible for other teams to copy Martin O'Neal's tactics.
At the post-match press conference, reporters also asked Martin O'Neill about reserve team tactics.
"Did you ever think at the beginning that this team could reach the semi-finals of both cup competitions, Mr. O'Neill?"
Martin O'Neill nodded honestly: "To be honest, I am indeed surprised..."
"So do you agree that the main reason why this team can reach the semi-finals in both cup competitions is because you have Chen Yingxiong?"
This time, Martin O'Neill did not nod his head honestly.
He is not stupid. This kind of problem is sowing discord and destroying the unity within the team. How can he follow the other party's wishes? Although deep down he actually agrees with this reporter's view - without Chen Yingxiong, there would be no such victories, and this game is even more typical. Of course, he and the reporter may still have differences. For example, the reporter believes that Chen Yingxiong’s role is mainly reflected in scoring goals, but Martin O’Neill disagrees. The support and help Chen Yingxiong provides to the team is all-round, not only It's a goal. He is also a very qualified and excellent captain in the reserve team...
But he couldn't say that. He shook his head and said: "No, that's not the case. Each of our reserve team boys is very good. Being able to reach the final is a victory for Liverpool as a whole, whether it is the reserve team or the first team. They all have one name in common - Liverpool!"
How hypocritical!
A reporter in the audience snorted disdainfully.
If he really thought that the reserve team players were also very good, why didn't he let the reserve team players continue to start in the League Cup semi-finals instead of mobilizing more than half of the first-team players? You must know that in the league rankings, their League Cup semi-final opponent Blackburn is not as high as today's Aston Villa...
To put it bluntly, I still have no confidence or confidence in the reserve team players. I feel that these people are not useful and I am unwilling to continue to trust them in important games.
In fact, this is the role of Chen Yingxiong! Without Chen Yingxiong, this team might not even reach the fifth round of the FA Cup. Everyone knew what would happen without Chen Yingxiong and this group of reserve teams last season. Last season, Chen Yingxiong originally participated in the FA Cup with the reserve team. Later, the schedule was intensive and Liverpool was under great pressure. O'Neill did not let Chen Yingxiong participate in the FA Cup to waste energy. As a result, Liverpool, which played all the reserve teams, was eliminated.
Without Chen Yingxiong, it would be Aston Villa head coach Tony Pulis sitting here with a happy face today!
