Volume One: Heroes Appear, Pay Attention Chapter 334: Chen Yingxiong’s Choice (First Update Guaranteed)
Chapter 334 Chen Yingxiong’s choice (first update guaranteed)
Chen Yingxiong was very proud, but he did not underestimate the enemy. -< Shuhai Pavilion >-Net.
However, he did not underestimate the enemy, which does not mean that all Liverpool players will not underestimate the enemy.
In fact, there will always be some people who slack off.
Villas-Boas believed that these people would play a vital role in the game.
He's done everything he can, and now there's nothing left for him to do except train his team.
Whether your tactics work or not will have to be tested in the final game.
Martin O'Neill also saw Boas's statement, and he smelled danger.
How could he not know what Villas-Boas's real intentions were, even though the media analysis seemed to make sense. But this kind of analysis and lies can only deceive naive people. How could it possibly deceive an old man like him? Although Martin O'Neill can indeed be regarded as "young" in front of Ferguson, in fact he is also sixty-four years old. "old age". He has been playing in the Premier League football for many years and has rich experience. He can be regarded as an "experienced player".
He knew that Villas-Boas was deliberately showing weakness and wanted Liverpool to underestimate the enemy.
But just because he knows this doesn't mean he has a way to solve it.
Because what Villas-Boas said was not for O'Neill at all, but for the Liverpool players.
No matter how much he emphasized not to underestimate the enemy, he could not completely control the players' thoughts.
He can only continue to emphasize this point in the following training.
The problem is that when everyone’s ears can hear calluses, what’s the use of his emphasis?
He has now begun to work on the second plan - he does not expect all Liverpool players to be as vigilant and cautious as he is. But there must be a few key players who cannot underestimate the enemy.
Chen Yingxiong was the first.
As long as Chen Yingxiong is not deceived by Villas-Boas, there is still hope of winning this game.
He began to chat with the players one by one. The time was not long, only about ten minutes for each one.
He wanted to determine what these players really thought - whether they were really deceived by Villas-Boas's words.
The result was a relief.
The people he found did not believe what Boas said, at least on the surface.
Neither did Chen Yingxiong.
Chen Yingxiong didn't even care about Boas's plan.
"... No matter what he is planning or plotting, we just need to defeat him. In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and tricks are useless, boss."
This is what Chen Yingxiong said to Martin O'Neill.
This sentence gave O'Neal a reassurance.
If there is nothing wrong with the most important person, then the game is safe.
Next, it’s time to wait for the game to start.

Villas-Boas told the news media that he planned to give up the game.
But inside Manchester City, he kept telling the players the importance of this game. He also made no secret of his plans. He told the players that he was deceiving Liverpool, just to make the other side think they had surrendered, and to make the other side underestimate the enemy because of this. Then Manchester City could win Liverpool at their home court. .
"Guys, Liverpool are undefeated this season. Everyone thinks there is no team left to beat them. Now it's our time to shine. Beat Liverpool, end their unbeaten season and let everyone know that Manchester City are still there. powerful!!"
Villas-Boas believes that as long as the team can defeat Liverpool at home, it will be an immeasurable boost to the team's morale. Maybe with this momentum, Manchester City can sweep the next four opponents and return to the top four in the league.

This game between Manchester City and Liverpool is the highlight of the 34th round of the league. Even the second and third place battle between Manchester United and Chelsea is not as attractive as this game.
At the same time, this game is also the first game of this round of league.
On April 13, at 4 p.m., Manchester City’s home game against Liverpool officially kicked off.
The Etihad Stadium was filled with boos and boos. (-< Shuhai Pavilion >-Net.)
Everyone has long been used to it. As long as they hear this sound, they will know that Liverpool is attacking even with their eyes closed.
The game has just begun, and Liverpool launched a fierce offensive as usual, trying to take the lead in the shortest time and let the game get on their track.
This is their most common move. There is no need to study it. The opponents already know what Liverpool is going to do. The smartest thing to do at this time is to recycle the ball as a whole and stick to the penalty area to prevent Liverpool from scoring. If we can not concede a goal in the first half, we will have a chance to compete with Liverpool in the second half, or at least a draw.
Manchester City did exactly that on the field.
Amid boos from City fans, Liverpool attacked and City retreated.
In this game, Villas-Boas's tactics for Manchester City were defensive counterattacks.
It’s a very simple four words, but it’s not easy to succeed.
First of all, it is doubtful whether Manchester City can hold on under Liverpool's fierce offensive.
Secondly, it is also unknown whether Manchester City's counterattack can be fatal in one blow.
But other than that, neither Villas nor Manchester City have any other options.
Now Villas-Boas can only block Liverpool. Some of the players listened to his words and underestimated the enemy and relaxed. Whoever relaxes will be Manchester City's breakthrough!
Although the game had just begun, Villas-Boas did not sit on the coaching bench, but stood on the sidelines, frowning, staring at the court seriously. He is not putting on a show, he is observing, observing the performance of every Liverpool player, trying to get some clues from it.
If he really sees that a Liverpool player is acting differently than usual and seems to be slacking off, he will immediately adjust his counterattack tactics and direct the team to attack that point in an effort to achieve a breakthrough.
A breakthrough of one point leads to a breakthrough of the entire line.
Thus completely shaking the foundation of Liverpool!
At this time, Boas's eyes were like radar, constantly scanning the court.
The game had only started for five minutes, and he hadn't seen anything yet, but he was not in a hurry. He felt that his performance was so perfect, and with the help of the media, he would be able to deceive some Liverpool players.
After Liverpool besieged Manchester City for ten minutes, when they found that Manchester City was not a threat, the slackness in their hearts would definitely show...
must!
Boas secretly clenched his fists.
※※※
After Chen Yingxiong was told by O'Neill about Boas's thoughts, he kept sneering in his heart.
If Boas thinks that he can prevent me from winning the championship with these trivial tricks, then he is really wishful thinking!
Chen Yingxiong now has two choices in front of him.
Is it deliberately selling a flaw to play with Boas? Or is it better to cut the knot quickly and beat Manchester City to death?
The boos in the stands were deafening, but he turned a deaf ear.
He has been thinking about this problem.
It seems a bit boring to win so easily, doesn't it? Since our opponents can no longer cause us trouble, can we create some small twists and turns ourselves for fun?
But doing this seems very disrespectful to the opponent... Moreover, it seems to leave an unfavorable impression on people, making people think that Liverpool has worked so hard to deal with even Manchester City... After all, others don't know about your good intentions!
Alas, this is really annoying.

This thought lasted fifteen minutes.
In fifteen minutes, although Liverpool's attack was fierce, there was no goal.
Villas-Boas was very excited to see it. He believed that his words had an effect. Liverpool players did not go all out when attacking. Especially Chen Yingxiong seems to have something on his mind...
I have to say that Boas's vision is quite accurate, and it can even be seen that Chen Yingxiong has something on his mind.
But he guessed in the wrong direction...
He thought that Chen Yingxiong underestimated the enemy because of his pride and did not take Manchester City into consideration.
Who knows, they are just thinking about how to get rid of Manchester City.
In fifteen minutes, Villas-Boas really saw that several Liverpool players were a little slack.
His eyes were shining. As long as Liverpool's offensive was over and there was a slight chance to breathe, he would direct the team to attack immediately and break through those points with thunderous momentum!
Boas's calculations were very loud.
At the same time, Chen Yingxiong's troubles were over.
He finally made his choice.
Forget it, the opponent is Manchester City, so it’s better to cut through the mess quickly. I don’t want others to think it’s so difficult for Liverpool to win against Manchester City…
Especially when he thought that if Liverpool won in a "difficult" way, those damn Manchester City fans in the stands would be complacent, he didn't feel very happy.
Even if they win in the end, those people might think that they lost to Liverpool because of bad luck.
That was not the result Chen Yingxiong wanted.
Manchester City fans hate him and he doesn't like Manchester City.
If it were a different team, maybe he would deliberately sell a flaw because he just wanted to make the game more interesting.
But against Manchester City, it's better to beat them to death...

In the 17th minute, when Gotze turned and dribbled the ball in the frontcourt, he was brought down to the ground by Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure.
The referee decisively blew his whistle to indicate a foul by Manchester City, but he did not play a card, but only verbally warned the Ivory Coast midfielder.
He then signaled for Liverpool to take the free kick.
When Chen Yingxiong ran back from the penalty area and took the football from Gotze, Villas-Boas's temple suddenly jumped.
He didn't understand why this was happening. It is very common for Chen Yingxiong to take Liverpool's free kick.
This time it was the same as usual, nothing special.
So what does this temple beating mean?
Could it be that Liverpool will use this free kick to score?
Although Chen Yingxiong's free kick skills are very good, my luck won't be so bad, right? This is just Liverpool's first free kick of the game...a goal with the first free kick? What are the chances of this?
One percent or 0.1 percent?
Boas muttered in his heart, but his brows furrowed more and more unknowingly...
