Chapter 148: Fifty Balls (Third update, please vote for me)

The news that Liverpool had eliminated Tottenham in the semi-finals made headlines in the sports pages of many newspapers the next day.

"...If I say that Liverpool's defeat of Tottenham is an upset, I wonder if someone will spit on my face? But in fact, it is like this. What I am talking about is not the team that made Manchester United unable to do anything, with Chen Yingxiong and Gerrard. , Gareth Bale, Sanchez, Inler, Pepe, Skrtel... and other stars of the Liverpool first team, but the Liverpool reserve team that you are unfamiliar with except Chen Yingxiong. Such a team is in They were recognized as weak before the game, but they defeated Tottenham Hotspur with a convincing 2:0 in the semi-finals. It's unbelievable, isn't it? But everyone who watched yesterday's game, now If they think so, they will feel that Liverpool deserves the victory..."

"Yesterday at Wembley Stadium, more than 80,000 people witnessed a strange game - Tottenham Hotspur, which sent all its main players, was defeated 2:0 by Liverpool, which was only a reserve team. And other teams were in football The difference between sending the main force to face in the FA Cup semi-finals is that Liverpool sent a reserve team that is not very strong. Before the game, Martin O'Neill's decision was questioned. But all this happened as Liverpool defeated Tottenham and entered the final. All disappeared..."

"...The Liverpool reserve team performed very tenaciously in yesterday's game. They exceeded many people's imagination. Facing Tottenham's indiscriminate bombardment, their defense never had any problems. Faced with such a defense, even if Even Tottenham, which sent all its main players, had no choice... Although Chen Yingxiong scored two goals and was the best player in the game, after the game, Chen Yingxiong felt that the best should be the reserve team as a whole, not him alone. …”

"Martin O'Neill highly praised the performance of all the reserve team players after the game. He believed that the victory in this game was inseparable from the outstanding performance of the reserve team players. He also revealed a piece of news: Liverpool will also play in the final. The same lineup faced their final opponents - the winner between Chelsea and Stoke City. I believe this news is not too shocking after watching this game..."

…

Unlike previous games, after the game, the focus of the media shifted from Chen Yingxiong to ordinary reserve team players.

Not much is spent mentioning Chen Yingxiong, and some reports can even be said to be very few.

Everyone's focus is on the reserve team players. After the game, all the reserve team players were welcomed by reporters in the mixed zone, and everyone rushed to interview them, giving them a taste of stardom.

In the post-match report, they were finally called "Chen Yingxiong's teammates in the reserve team" no longer, but by names, so that everyone knew who they were.

This change is of course due to their outstanding performance in the game, which reversed many people's inherent impression of them.

No one paid attention to them before because they felt that the only role of these people was to help Chen Yingxiong gather eleven people, so that Chen Yingxiong would not be able to participate due to insufficient numbers. The outcome of the game still depends on Chen Yingxiong and his goals. As long as Chen Yingxiong scores a goal, Liverpool can win the game and advance to the next round. It doesn't matter how well the Liverpool reserve players perform. Even if they are sleepwalking collectively, Chen Yingxiong can solve the battle.

In fact, the media looks down on them and thinks they are useless.

But after this game, everything changed. Their tenacious performance on the court fell in the eyes of everyone. As long as this person has no problem with his IQ, he can see what the players of the Liverpool reserve team have done. The role of appearance.

In addition, everyone is tired of reporting on how awesome Chen Yingxiong is every day. These relatively grassroots reserve team players are more able to attract everyone's attention and make many people interested in their stories.

This is why although everyone always admires the strong, they also like the good show of grassroots reversal of the strong.

A few days after the game, there were many more reporters outside the reserve team training ground to interview them, and there were many more fans cheering them on than usual. The reserve team players finally felt like "stars".

※ ※ ※

The players in the reserve team are enjoying the feeling of being stars, but Chen Yingxiong has no such intention.

For the reserve team, their next tough match is the FA Cup final, which is in May. Before then, they can get enough rest time.

During this period, the reserve team will continue to train in depth. The training content will be the same as before. They will be given a month to prepare for the game. I believe they should be able to perform better than in the semi-finals.

Chen Yingxiong is much busier than them.

After the FA Cup semi-finals, it’s immediately the domestic league. After the domestic league is over, it’s the Champions League semi-finals.

※ ※ ※

In the thirty-fourth round of the league, Liverpool faced Fulham at home.

Liverpool are currently ranked first in the league, Chelsea, second in the league, are ten points behind them, and Manchester United, third in the league, are eleven points behind them.

As long as they win two more games, Liverpool can win the championship early.

This season is not like last season, when Liverpool was ten points ahead and allowed Manchester United to catch up.

This season, Liverpool's players have shown more confidence in competing for the league title and have not let themselves down. Therefore, the group of pursuers behind them have no choice but to watch Liverpool take the lead and no one can. and.

It is precisely because of such a huge lead that O'Neal feels that the team can be distracted and try the Champions League.

Therefore, although only one first-team player, Chen Yingxiong, participated in the just-concluded FA Cup semi-finals, in the game against Fulham, Martin O'Neill still made the decision to play half the main team and half the substitutes.

This lineup also lived up to expectations, defeating visiting Fulham 3:1 at Anfield. Because Chelsea and Manchester United both won, the points gap between the three remained unchanged.

Liverpool is still ten points ahead of Chelsea and eleven points ahead of Manchester United.

Under such circumstances, in the next round of the league, Liverpool will face Chelsea at home, which will become the focus of the battle to determine the final league championship. If Liverpool can defeat Chelsea at home, the point difference between the two sides will widen to 13 points. , even if Manchester United can win, the point difference between Liverpool and them is still 11 points. With only three rounds left in the league, the 11-point advantage means that Liverpool has won the championship three rounds in advance!

But not so sure. There are still variables in this game, because this game with Chelsea is sandwiched between two Champions League semi-finals. If Liverpool's home game against AC Milan does not go particularly smoothly, it will definitely affect their performance in the league. strategies and tactics.

Maybe Liverpool will consider voluntarily giving up the game against Chelsea, and after recuperating, go to challenge AC Milan away from home, and then postpone their championship celebrations for one or two rounds.

Even if Liverpool loses to Chelsea at home and the point difference between the two sides becomes seven points, as long as Liverpool wins Hull City away from home, then with only two rounds left, the point difference between the two teams will still be seven points, and Liverpool will also Win the championship early. As for Hull City, a team that has been relegated in advance, it should not be difficult for Liverpool to win against them even if they are on the road.

Therefore, no matter what, Liverpool's prospects for winning the championship are bright, and O'Neill can now focus on the Champions League.

He decided not only to reach the Champions League final, but also to try to win the Champions League trophy!

Liverpool has already won the League Cup this season, locking in the league championship. The FA Cup championship is not without hope. If they win the Champions League again... four championships! For O'Neill, it can be said to be a bumper season, a brilliant achievement that countless coaches dream of. He will definitely leave his name in the history of Liverpool Club forever because of this achievement! Also left in the history of world football!

Chen Yingxiong scored twice in Liverpool's 3:1 home victory over Fulham. These two goals are of great significance because they brought his league goals this season to an astonishing fifty!

Chen Yingxiong scored 57 league goals last season, only three goals short of the single-season record of 60 goals set by Dixie Dean.

At that time, everyone felt sorry for Chen Yingxiong, because even if he worked harder, he might be able to break Dixie Dean's record.

You must know that being able to score fifty-seven goals in a single season is already a remarkable achievement. Who knows when Chen Yingxiong will score so many goals next...

Unexpectedly, in the second season, Chen Yingxiong had already scored 50 goals with four rounds left before the end of the league!

Exactly the same results as last season!

Last season, with six rounds left before the end of the league, Chen Yingxiong scored 50 goals.

However, in the next four league rounds, he did not score in one league round. Although he scored two hat tricks in the other three games, he only scored one goal in the final game against Swansea. If he seizes a few more opportunities against Swansea and Bolton, he might be able to break Dixie Dean's record.

What about this single season?

In the next four games, the games against Hull City and West Ham United are all easy to play, but what everyone is most concerned about is the games against Chelsea and Newcastle United. Based on their understanding of Chen Yingxiong, this person will face Vietnam. When you are a strong opponent, the level you perform will be higher. Just like last season, he did not score in the game against Bolton, but when he played Manchester United away from home, he scored a hat-trick!

This season, there are four games left. Chen Yingxiong needs to score an average of 2.5 goals per game to tie Dixie Dean's record. Then he has to score at least one more goal on this basis before he can tie the record. Able to set a new record!

Can he do it?

Many people have begun to look forward to it like a lottery ticket.

They actually did buy lottery tickets.

Many gambling companies in Europe have offered various odds on whether Chen Yingxiong can break Dixie Dean's record, attracting many lottery players and gamblers to participate.

Therefore, not only England, but the entire Europe's eyes have actually fallen on Chen Yingxiong.
