Volume 1: Heroes Come and Go, People Pay Attention Chapter 211: Chen Yingxiong Is Not the only One in Liverpool (Second Update, Please Vote for Me)

Chapter 211 Liverpool doesn’t only have Chen Yingxiong (second update, please vote for me)

Set-piece practice is a key component that must be practiced before the final. It can even be said that set-piece practice may account for the largest proportion of practice content in pre-match preparations.

Of course, this set kick is not just a corner kick, but also a free kick and a penalty kick. At the same time, it is not limited to offensive drills, defense is also essential.

Coupled with the fact that Liverpool has many players with good header skills, it would be a waste not to make good use of set pieces.

In these two seasons, when Liverpool was unable to open up the situation due to the opponent's stubborn defense or other reasons, set kicks were their best choice to break the deadlock.

Now, in the final, for more than thirty minutes, they have not been able to score a goal. Barcelona firmly controls the football, with the ball possession rate as high as 73%.

In this case, if they still want to score a goal, they must take advantage of the corner kick in front of them.

Chen Yingxiong stood in front of the goal. Regardless of whether he was the one actually competing for the header, there would be no shortage of defensive players around him. Because the opponent cannot leave him alone and run to defend players who "may threaten the goal."

You must know that Chen Yingxiong is someone who "can definitely threaten the goal."

Chen Yingxiong was surrounded by two people, Pigui and Butzquez.

At the same time, Pepe, Skrtel and Inler were all standing in the penalty area, ready to header.

Other Barcelona players rushed to surround them.

It's not better than heading the ball. At least they can use more people to interfere with their header.

Apart from that, there was no longer a Liverpool player in the box.

The other Liverpool players are outside, naturally the purpose is to prevent Barcelona's quick counterattack.

However, the Liverpool people also feel that just the few people currently in the penalty area are enough to cause trouble for Barcelona's defense.

Because air defense has always been Barcelona's weakness. The main reason is that they are too short. Only Piquet is the tallest in the defense, reaching 1.9 meters.

His center back partner Fontas is 1.86 meters tall, which is still good. His partner back then was Puyol, who was less than 1.8 meters tall.

Another tall man is Butzquez, who is one meter tall, but heading the ball is not his specialty.

Just three people have the ability to compete with Liverpool players for high balls, and the others are just soy sauce.

Now these three people are still around Chen Yingxiong.

As for Skrtel, Pepe, and Inle, these three people didn't even look at them.

In their view, only Chen Yingxiong was the most threatening.

Not only do they think so, but the Barcelona fans in front of the TV and in the stands also think so.

They shouted: "Keep an eye on Chen Yingxiong! Kill him! Freeze him!"

Piqué even grabbed Chen Yingxiong's jersey with his hand.

Chen Yingxiong glared at him.

Piqué turned a blind eye and continued to hold on to the jersey.

Then Chen Yingxiong pushed Pi Kui away hard.

Piqué immediately screamed and fell to the ground, but he forgot to cover his face, so the effect was slightly worse - the referee noticed the situation here, but did not play the card to Chen Yingxiong, but signaled Piqué to stand up. , and then gave verbal warnings to two people respectively.

Piqué did not really restrain himself. After the referee left, he grabbed Chen Yingxiong's jersey again.

Just kidding, Chen Yingxiong is such a good header player, why should I let him go? As long as the referee doesn't give me a red card and sends me off directly, I'll be fine!

But this time Chen Yingxiong didn't have the same experience as him.

However, everyone saw the entanglement between him and Piqué in the penalty area.

Everyone is even more determined that Chen Yingxiong will be the target of Liverpool's corner kick and will be responsible for the top spot.

※ ※ ※

The struggle in the penalty area continued, and then Gareth Bale took the corner kick.

Chen Yingxiong suddenly got rid of the defense and rushed forward!

Pi Kui inadvertently failed to hold him back. When he saw Chen Yingxiong rushing forward, he screamed in his heart that it was bad, and then he chased after him.

Not only him, but other Barcelona players also caught up. For a while, Chen Yingxiong led a group of people to follow behind him.

But he didn't jump...

He just ran forward, and the football flew over his head, but he still ran forward... Many people watching this scene were stunned - was Chen Yingxiong stupid or blind? Didn’t you see the football go by?

The Barcelona players who were chasing after him were all stunned.

Not only him, but even the commentator didn't expect: "The hero didn't jump... What is going on?!"

The answer will be revealed soon.

The camera quickly moved to the back point and saw Pepe leaping high, overpowering Cesc Fabregas who was completely unable to threaten him... and then charging to the top!

Because almost all Barcelona players' defensive attention was focused on Chen Yingxiong, Pepe almost no one was defending him. He hit the ball very easily!

"Pepe - the ball... the ball went in!!!"

With a loud roar from the commentator, the football flew into the goal guarded by Valdez...

The first goal came so casually and unexpectedly that many people did not expect it.

Many Barcelona players were stunned on the spot and had not yet reacted.

Chen Yingxiong, who had been running before, looked back at the football in the goal, then opened his arms and accelerated towards Bell in the corner flag area - it turned out that he had planned to run to Bell for a hug from the beginning!

Using Chen Yingxiong's huge influence on the header to feint and attract the attention of Barcelona players was planned from the beginning.

Even if the opponent knew that Chen Yingxiong was feinting, he wouldn't dare not guard against him, or less guard against him.

Then other Liverpool players can take the opportunity to obtain a relatively relaxed environment for top competition.

Pepe and Skrtel's headers are not just for show, they are also real weapons!

This time it was so successful!

Chen Yingxiong has scored too many goals this season, scoring goals on all fronts and breaking various records.

Liverpool has scored 107 goals in the league this season. This is the total goals scored by the team. Chen Yingxiong has scored 62 goals alone, which is more than half. Not counting the finals, the entire team scored 33 goals in the Champions League. Chen Yingxiong scored 18 goals alone, which is almost two-thirds. As for the League Cup and FA Cup, it is almost Chen Yingxiong's stage to perform alone, especially the FA Cup. Liverpool scored a total of 18 goals in the FA Cup, and Chen Yingxiong alone scored 14 goals in this competition...

He is so good at scoring goals that everyone has unknowingly formed the illusion that as long as Liverpool scores, it must be Chen Yingxiong.

But in fact, even if he scored 62 goals in the league, there were still 45 goals scored by his teammates.

This time, Chen Yingxiong took full advantage of everyone's illusion and played a perfect supporting role! Looking at the way he struggled with Piqué in the penalty area, his hard-working acting skills can almost compete for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor...

"Hero...Hero is actually responsible for the feint attack!"

After the initial shock, the commentator slapped his forehead - Why can't Chen Yingxiong be a supporting role?

This is a normal thing, but why are we surprised?

※ ※ ※

Not only the commentators, but also the fans in the stands and the audience in front of the TV all found it strange-this goal was not scored by Chen Yingxiong?

In which important game was the opening goal not scored by Chen Yingxiong?

How come this time, the one who opened the scoring for Liverpool in such an important game of the Champions League final was... Pepe?

No one understands that although it is normal for Pepe to score goals, they just feel that it is common sense that Chen Yingxiong should score such a goal...

Who would have thought that Liverpool would capture people's habitual psychology and score a crucial goal!

Now that Liverpool is ahead, Barcelona can no longer continue to toss the football back and forth outside their own 30-meter area.

This forces Barcelona to speed up the pace, try more shots, and get into the fast lane!

And in this way, Liverpool will have more opportunities.

The first goal was so important that Martin O'Neal had to sacrifice Chen Yingxiong. Who made Chen Yingxiong famous?

Everyone knew they were watching him, but other Liverpool players were careless.

But Liverpool actually doesn’t just have Chen Yingxiong!

This is what will happen if you only value Chen Yingxiong and underestimate Liverpool!

After Pepe hit the football, Martin O'Neill rushed out of the coaching bench excitedly, then waved his arms like crazy and screamed to the sky. Even if Chen Yingxiong scored a goal, he was not so happy.

But he has reason to do so, because Chen Yingxiong's goals always make him feel that he has not contributed much here, and he does not have a deep sense of accomplishment after scoring. Even other people would think so. After Chen Yingxiong scored, everyone rushed to praise Chen Yingxiong, but did they ever praise Martin O'Neill who arranged the tactics?

But this ball is different. Pepe's ball fully reflects his role in this goal tactic - this tactic was thought up by himself.

His sense of accomplishment reached its maximum!

He took advantage of Chen Yingxiong's reputation and his heading ability. He also accurately grasped the psychological misunderstandings of the world and successfully exploited them. Can he be unhappy?

I, Martin O'Neill, am not here to make soy sauce! I'm the manager of Liverpool!

The team's victory and championship are not only the result of Chen Yingxiong alone, but also my share!

※ ※ ※

Chen Yingxiong hugged Bale, and Pepe was hugged by other teammates, and then the two sides came together to celebrate the goal with a hug.

Opening the scoring, Liverpool's favorite way to start a game.

The next game is their favorite rhythm.

The Liverpool fans in the stands gave a huge cheer. They actually didn't care if Chen Yingxiong scored the goal, as long as it was Liverpool. After all, although they all like Chen Yingxiong, they are Liverpool fans first.

As Chen Yingxiong once said when he was in Naples, the future of a team cannot be due to a certain great player, but should be great enough in itself. Because great players will change jobs and retire, but great teams will still be there for a hundred years! (To be continued
