Chapter 260: Problems faced by reserve team legends (Second update guaranteed)

The legendary second season of Liverpool's reserve team kicked off with a game against Reading. church

Reading was relegated from the Premier League to the English Championship in the 2012-2013 season. In the following years, it has been ups and downs in the English Championship. It has not been relegated, but it has not been able to return to the Premier League.

Although Reading has changed its head coach and changed players one after another, the team's style has not changed no matter how they change. Still tough, the traditional British style of play makes this team's skills and tactics look rough, but it's easier to mess around in lower-level leagues.

The English Championship is the most demanding of physical fitness, and only those with excellent physical fitness can survive here.

When they were in the Premier League, Reading's style was very tough. They once had the record of destroying two Chelsea goalkeepers in one game, which shows their brutality.

Now in the English Championship, a place that pays attention to physical fitness, they are even more at home, taking their roughness to the extreme.

Therefore, the Liverpool reserve team faced such a team for the first time and was not a good opponent.

The actual game process also proved this.

Although Liverpool scored a goal from Chen Yingxiong at the beginning of the game.

But soon Reading got a God-given opportunity.

Liverpool reserve center back Stevenson tripped the Reading forward in the penalty area. The referee showed Stevenson a yellow card and imposed the penalty, awarding Reading a penalty kick.

Liverpool fans booed over the Anfield Stadium. Everyone was very dissatisfied with this penalty. They believed that Reading's forward was diving and Stevenson was wronged.

Even Martin O'Neill protested loudly to the fourth official on the sidelines.

However, the penalty cannot be changed.

Liverpool eventually lost a penalty kick to the opponent.

Reading scored immediately to level the score.

Stevenson looked frustrated after making the mistake. The latest chapter of the Holy Temple

Regardless of whether he meets the other party or not, the debt will still be borne by him.

A hand patted his shoulder hard.

It's Chen Yingxiong.

He said nothing, just patted Stevenson and ran away.

Sometimes, too many words are not a good thing, speaking with actions is the most powerful.

Reading is indeed very tenacious and rough, and their style is somewhat inferior to today's Liverpool.

Under their rough and tyrannical style of play, Liverpool was somewhat timid.

Perhaps these reserve team players cherish the opportunity to play alongside Chen Yingxiong and are afraid of getting injured during the game. If you are injured, if you are lucky, it will only affect the reserve team's games. If you are unlucky, you may not have the chance to play with Chen Yingxiong.

"Fighting side by side with Chen Yingxiong" should have been the motivation for the players, but unexpectedly it has become a mental burden for everyone at this time.

Liverpool basically relies on Chen Yingxiong alone to support the team.

He scored the team's first goal, second goal, and third goal.

And what about Reading? Also scored the first goal, the second goal, and the third goal.

Even the commentators were dissatisfied with the performance of Liverpool's reserves.

It is believed that this Liverpool reserve team is not strong enough. If Chen Yingxiong alone relies on it, it will be difficult to go further in the game.

Martin O'Neal also always stood on the sidelines, frowning. Worried about the situation on the field.

But fortunately, Redding is very powerful, but they don't have Chen Yingxiong. Although Liverpool's reserve team is weak, it does have Chen Yingxiong.

This factor ultimately determines the outcome for both parties.

Chen Yingxiong scored a free kick in the 77th minute. This was his fourth goal of the game. This goal also won the game for Liverpool. The latest chapter of the Holy Temple

Although they won the game, Liverpool's performance was not satisfactory. Martin O'Neill criticized his players after the game, thinking that they were too weak.

After all, playing a Championship team like Reading at home, even the reserve team, shouldn't perform so poorly.

In addition to criticism from Martin O'Neill, the media is full of voices criticizing the reserve team and reflecting on Liverpool's model of adding a Chen Yingxiong to the reserve team.

"In my opinion, this reserve team is far from the reserve team last season. They seem raw and inexperienced... I think the reason why Liverpool was able to successfully create a reserve team legend and win the FA Cup last season is Everyone just focused on Chen Yingxiong and the reserve team, but ignored a deeper factor. Before this, the composition of Liverpool's reserve team had been relatively stable, with few comings and goings and not too frequent. That reserve team has been training together for a long time, and there are many players who have retired from the first team. The overall strength is actually not weak, and they are rich in experience. They just lack a key person, just like an assembled car. , only the engine is missing. And the hero is this powerful engine. After he joined it, the reserve team immediately burst out with huge energy, and it was natural to win the FA Cup in the end... So in fact, the reserve team itself Level is what matters.

But as for this reserve team, due to the outstanding performance of the reserve team last season in the FA Cup and League Cup, it attracted the attention of many teams and left the team one after another. This season Liverpool has transferred a large number of newcomers from the youth team to the reserve team. These players lack enough experience and they are all still teenagers. After all, the youth team and the reserve team are two different levels. Being able to cope with the youth team's game may not necessarily be able to cope with the reserve team's game, let alone directly leapfrogging to challenge the first team - Reading's main force played its best in this game. . I think maybe Martin O'Neal should seriously consider whether he should continue to stick to the pattern of last season. To be honest, luck accounted for a large part of last season's success. The reserve team appeared at the right time. But this season, the situation is completely different, and we cannot simply and rigidly apply the successful model of last season to this season. This may have serious consequences... You must know that Liverpool's public goal this season is to win seven crowns. How can it be possible to win the League Cup and FA Cup with such a group of inexperienced kids? Let alone the semi-finals, with this performance, he might not even be able to get past the second round! "

The media's criticism was loud and clear. After reading it, everyone felt that what they said was right. The situation was different. How could we still hope to repeat the legend of the reserve team?

Doesn't this look down upon the world's heroes?

Martin O'Neill also has similar worries. Because the level of this reserve team does seem to be inferior to the previous one.

He found an opportunity to discuss this issue with Chen Yingxiong alone.

He tactfully expressed doubts about whether he should continue with this approach.

Chen Yingxiong gave him a very positive answer.

Then he expressed his inner worries. It was actually what the media said, but he felt it made sense.

Although Chen Yingxiong also thinks that what the media said is reasonable, he will not do this. Because that means he bows to the media, and he won't do it.

"Strength issues can be solved through training, and I don't think the quality of Liverpool's youth training is that bad. The players drawn from the youth team are capable, but they just lack experience. I think experience will slowly improve over time. Get better."

"But, that's it for playing Reading... What if we meet a real Premier League team in the future?"

"Before that, just train them hard." Chen Yingxiong shrugged. "If it doesn't work anymore, I'll take action."

He said it in an understatement, as if he could do it casually.

But this kind of self-confidence did not make Martin O'Neal shocked. He just shook his head: "Always relying on you alone, that is not the way to win in football."

"Oh, anyway, I believe in my teammates, they will risk their lives to keep up with me. This is just the first game, there is no need to make a fuss with the media, boss. Let's observe a few more games before we talk."

Martin O'Neill felt that Chen Yingxiong was right. This was only the first game. Many mature teams may not play well in the first game. Such as the World Cup and European Cup, these situations are very common. Maybe this team is slow to warm up, but that’s not necessarily true?

In this way, the two people ended the conversation.

O'Neal was still a little hesitant, but Chen Yingxiong was really as confident as he said.

If that doesn't work, there's still him.

He is the ultimate weapon, the super ace, and the ultimate solution for Liverpool's reserve team. In fact, he was not surprised or dissatisfied with the performance of the reserve team in the last game. As someone who has trained with the team for a period of time, he knows what this team is like. It is normal to be beaten by Reading and almost lose. It is unrealistic to expect a novice team to kill everyone in the first game.

Even for the reserve team last season, everyone didn't focus on him at the beginning. Did they think that the only role of those reserve team players was to help Chen Yingxiong get eleven playing quotas? Which team's real transformation begins in the semifinals.

Therefore, it is normal for the current reserve team to perform poorly.

As long as you give them trust and give them time, they will perform better and better. Because Chen Yingxiong can feel the power of dreams from these players who are younger than himself.

They just lack the opportunity to show these powers, so give them such an opportunity.

In fact, Chen Yingxiong has undergone some changes without knowing it. Now he has learned to consider problems from the other person's perspective, consider others, and try to help those in need. He is gradually maturing, and although he is still very erotic at times, anyone who knows him will admit this - he is changing from a boy to a man.

While Chen Yingxiong and Martin O'Neill were communicating alone, the Liverpool reserve team players stood obediently on the training ground and were scolded by reserve team coach Clark.

"Look at your performance in the game yesterday! It was simply appalling! If I were you, I would not be able to eat or sleep well when I went home! It's just Reading, a British Championship team, so let If you are in such a hurry, you will encounter stronger opponents in the future, such as Premier League teams, Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City... What will you do when you encounter such a team? Surrender with your hands?!"

"Have you all forgotten your promise to the hero? You have to work hard to keep up with him! Now you know how fast he runs, right? Don't take any chances! You think the hard work you have put in in the past month is enough ? Open your eyes and see, this is the cruel reality! If you don’t put in more effort, if you don’t grit your teeth and persevere, if you don’t show your desperate determination, you will become a burden to the heroes in the game. , holding him back! Now, you must fully realize your mistakes, and then work hard for me... no, train hard! Improve yourself! The hero has already told me that he must go to Wembley with you !”
