Volume 1: Heroes Come and Go, People Pay Attention. Chapter 240: How Beautiful This World Is (First Update Guaranteed)

Chapter 240 How beautiful this world is (first update guaranteed)

Liverpool defeated Chelsea and won the Community Shield, which did not cause much trouble after the game.

Perhaps this has something to do with the fact that many people predicted that Liverpool would win before the game. The odds offered by bookmakers reflect this truthfully.

Liverpool is favored by everyone, so since the result is not unexpected, what is there to talk about?

So everyone’s focus is not on the game itself.

The "Liverpool Echo" headline after the game was: "17", accompanied by a photo of Gerrard lifting the Community Shield.

Everyone knows what the title means.

The first of seven championships has been obtained!

Other media outlets have also discussed Liverpool's first title of the season.

"...We have won the first of seven championships, but I don't think this means that Liverpool can complete the great cause of seven championships. Because obviously, this is the best championship among the seven championships. There is no suspense. The second best thing to win is the Club World Cup. The name sounds scary, what is the World Club Cup, but in fact none of the participating opponents can compare with the European teams. So if nothing happens, Liverpool can win it These two championships. But none of the other championships are easy to get!"

This view is still the mainstream. Only the local media in Liverpool who are pro-Liverpool Club believe that Liverpool has completed one-seventh of the task.

To this view, the "Liverpool Echo" responded: "Time and results will tell!"

After the Community Shield, there was a one-week truce.

This is the last chance to prepare for war.

In a week, the league will begin.

If you want to make any adjustments, it will be over.

However, Liverpool's road to the start of the new season is destined to be a bit bumpy.

Because in this last week, Liverpool suffered a wave of injuries, both big and small.

Sanchez was injured in training and could be out for four weeks.

This is not over yet, Lucas was injured together with him. The two collided in training, but Sanchez was relatively light and only had to sit out for four weeks. Lucas was in a bad situation. He injured his knee and conservatively estimated that he would be out for three months...

Lucas is really pitiful. Since that serious injury, he has become a glass man. He has not been able to participate in a complete season.

Fortunately, Lucas was originally a rotation player, and Inler was the main defensive midfielder. His injury didn't have much impact on the team. If it doesn't work, Gerrard can still take the lead. Anyway, now that Suarez is back from injury, the worst case scenario is 442.

Sanchez's injury will have a greater impact on Liverpool than Lucas.

Although James Rodriguez can play on both sides, his favorite and best position is the left side. Not to mention Bell, a pure left midfielder.

On the right, only Sanchez has world-class strength.

Now that Sanchez is injured, it is impossible for Michael Kelly to start. The strength is too far behind, so Adam Johnson can only be pushed up.

But in terms of strength, Adam Johnson is definitely not as good as Sanchez.

Martin O'Neill plans to tactically lean to the left wing, and it will only take a month anyway.

At the beginning of the season, the games were not intensive yet, so this result can be regarded as a blessing among misfortunes.

However, the injuries to these two players still put Martin O'Neal in a bad mood for many days.

The atmosphere within the team needs to change - the league is about to start, and no one wants to get injured in training and therefore miss the first few games of the season. These games are very important, because the coaching staff will look at your performance in these games to decide whether to let you play as the main force... If you are unable to participate due to injury, you will naturally be at a disadvantage in the competition with your teammates.

This is actually a sense of competition.

Niang is so busy this summer to bring competition to established players and let them know that no matter who they are, if they don't work hard, there will be no place for him in the team.

Martin O'Neill also felt the players' concerns. When the league was about to start, he adjusted the team's training plan and replaced the previous high-intensity training content with relaxed training arrangements.

It reduces the chance of players getting injured during training and also provides psychological relaxation.

Allowing players to start a long season with the most relaxed mood.

On August 19, the opening game of the new English Premier League season is about to begin.

In the opening match, Liverpool challenged Sheffield United, the newly promoted team this season, who ranked second in the Champions League last season, away from home.

This is the first game of the Premier League season.

It was scheduled for the afternoon of the 19th.

Although this game is an away game for Liverpool, everyone feels that there is no suspense anymore.

If Liverpool can't even secure a promotion, then why bother?

Although the result of the game is no longer in suspense, this game still attracts much attention.

Because everyone comes to see the performance of Liverpool's star-studded team.

This is the star effect...

Many people think that the first round of the league has no meaning for people like Chen Yingxiong. He is no longer the fledgling kid he was back then, and there shouldn't be much to look forward to in this first league game.

In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed and he is already a veteran.

But this is not the case.

No one knows that Chen Yingxiong is actually looking forward to tomorrow's game.

The reason is simple, but no one knows it.

Because starting from tomorrow, Chen Yingxiong will win all the championships in the future. What he said to the outside world is that his goal this season is to win seven championships.

But in fact, his goal will be the same every season in the future - seven crowns!

He wants every championship in every season!

He has great ambitions to create a record that is unprecedented in world football.

Even people who know him well have never thought that Chen Yingxiong has such ambitions!

He was determined to write a legend.

And tomorrow's game is the first chapter of this saga.

The most important thing about a novel is the beginning.

If it can attract readers, if it can make everyone like the book at first glance and eager to continue reading, the beginning is very important, and the first chapter is very important.

Tomorrow's game is this first chapter, which must be written well. He doesn't accept any outcome other than victory.

A narrow victory is unacceptable.

Only a big victory can be worthy of the beginning of a legend.

No one knew that Chen Yingxiong had a plan deep in his heart that would shock the world of football.

To outsiders, Chen Yingxiong was no different from usual. On the match day, he was chatting with his good friends in the room, playing nonsense, telling jokes and making everyone laugh, and he was in a very relaxed mood.

At half past ten, his friends dispersed and he took a shower and went to bed.

At nine o'clock the next morning, he opened his eyes on time.

As precise as an alarm clock, he woke up at this time.

This made Skrtel, who was in the same room with him, not feel any different.

It's not just teammates who find it unusual. The media and fans also felt that this was just an ordinary opening game of an ordinary Premier League season.

Because this is not a dialogue between two powerful people, there is no suspense.

Everyone’s only focus is: Oh, after this game, the new season of the Premier League will begin, and there will be a game to watch every weekend from now on.

That's all.

No one will know that they are actually in history and becoming an important part of history.

Even many years later, when these people think of this day, they will not leave a deep impression. Only those obsessed with football statistics can realize how special this day was...

Because today, Chen Yingxiong took the first step to become the greatest.

Bramall Lane, which has a capacity of 30,900, was packed today.

More than 26,000 local Sheffield United fans came to the stadium to witness the team's first game after returning to the Premier League.

The other more than 3,000 people were Liverpool fans.

The game has just started and the atmosphere in the stadium is very hot.

Sheffield United fans are full of passion and longing for the Premier League.

The last time they appeared in the Premier League was in the 2006-2007 season.

In that season, they entered the English Championship in 18th place. Since then, they have been ups and downs in the lower leagues. In the 2010-2011 season, they even entered the First Division.

Now, after all the hardships, they have finally successfully upgraded. They naturally have reason to look forward to the Premier League after so many years.

In fact, Sheffield United is not a team with a deep foundation in the English league. In its more than 100 years of history, the club has nothing to boast about, just four FA Cup championships and one top league championship. , this was all history before World War II.

Perhaps the closest thing to boasting about now is the 1992-1993 season, when they were one of the founders of the Premier League.

However, they were relegated in the second season after finishing 20th.

It was not until the 2005-2006 season that they were successfully promoted. After returning to the Premier League for one season, they were relegated again.

It's time to return to the Premier League again.

Compared to when they were relegated, the biggest change in the Premier League is that Liverpool replaced Manchester United and became the Premier League hegemon.

And now they have to face the Premier League hegemon as soon as they come up.

Despite this, they are still looking forward to this trip to the Premier League.

They expect their team to remain in the Premier League after one season, and they also expect their team to remain in the Premier League for three consecutive seasons.

They also look forward to many things.

They are like country bumpkins who have just arrived in this colorful world, full of novel fantasies about everything. I think the world is so beautiful, the sky is blue, the flowers are red, the air is fresh, everyone on the street is smiling and friendly...

But someone poured cold water on them in a very puzzled manner, turning all their longings and pride into drowned rats.

This villain is Chen Yingxiong.
