Volume 1: Heroes Come and Go, People Pay Attention Chapter 339: Barcelona Breaks the Wrist (Second Update Guaranteed)

~Date:~October 24~

The next day's newspapers, TV news, and the Internet were full of news about Liverpool winning the league championship four rounds in advance.

Although the media treated Chen Yingxiong's achievements coldly, they could not treat Liverpool's achievements coldly.

Although this season is not over yet, Liverpool has set or is about to set a series of new records.

First they broke the winning streak record in English football history.

The previous winning streak was fourteen games shared by Manchester United, Bristol City and Preston.

This record is not just for the Premier League, but a record for the English Professional League. Including the Premier League, Championship, League One, League Two and League Three.

Manchester United set this record in the 1904-1905 season. Bristol City then equaled this record in the 1905-1960 season. The last time a team reached this record was Preston, who equaled this record in the 1950-1951 season.

No team has matched this great record since.

Even Arsenal, who were undefeated in 49 games, could not complete a winning streak of 14 consecutive games.

But such a record was broken by Liverpool.

This season, they started a series of dazzling victories after a 3:3 away draw with Manchester United.

From the tenth round to the twenty-fifth round of the league, for a total of sixteen league rounds, Liverpool won all.

If not for the controversial penalty in the game with Everton, Liverpool is fully capable of continuing to refresh this record.

In addition, they are also close to another record in the history of English football. That's the record for most wins in a single season.

This record was set by Doncaster in the 1946-1947 season, when there were forty-two games. Doncaster won thirty-three of them, drew six and lost three.

At present, Liverpool has won 32 games in a single season after defeating Manchester City. As long as they win one game, they will tie Doncaster's record. If they win two more games, they will create a new record that only belongs to Liverpool!

In addition to closing in on the record for most wins in a season, they're also closing in on another record. That is the record for the most points in a single season.

In the history of English football, counting all professional leagues, the one with the highest points in a single season was Sunderland in the 1998-1999 season. At that time they were still in English League One, which would later become the English Championship. They eventually dominated English League One with a score of 105 points and returned to the Premier League.

This is the highest possible score under the three-point system.

Of course, this actually has something to do with the original English League One game. There are twenty-two teams in English League One and they play forty-two games in a season, so this point is not unexpected.

But there are only thirty-eight games in the Premier League. It is very rare to achieve this achievement in these thirty-eight games. No team as powerful as Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea has achieved it, and they have not even scored hundreds of points.

And now, Liverpool have done it.

Or it's about to happen.

In the third or fourth round of the league, Liverpool's points are 98. There are still seven points away from the record of 105 points. In the remaining four rounds of the league, there is almost no difficulty. If Liverpool didn't get discouraged immediately after winning the championship, but still wanted to win the championship with an undefeated record, then they would definitely get seven points.

They only need to win three games to break the record.

In addition to these solid records, they can also hit the record for most goals scored by a club in a single season.

This record is currently held by Aston Villa, who set it in the 1930-1931 season, when Aston Villa scored a staggering 128 goals in total.

Liverpool are now on one hundred and two goals. There are still twenty-six goals shy of this record.

The loss is not huge, but it is not completely absent either.

It depends on whether Liverpool is willing to do this in the end.

Twenty-six goals in four games, an average of six points and five goals per game. With Liverpool's current strength and state, if they really want to do this, they can do it.

The records that have been completed or are about to be completed in this drama are the dazzling pearls and diamonds in Liverpool's league championship crown.

If it's just about winning the championship, many teams can do it. There has to be a champion every season, so it's just the Premier League champion. In fact, that's it.

But if you can win the championship and be different from most teams. That depends on these records.

Arsenal and Preston have both won the title undefeated in the season. Even Liverpool had accomplished this feat in the 1893-1894 season.

However, they were undefeated in the season, had the most consecutive wins, the most points in the season, the most goals scored by the team, and the most wins... In the end, they were still the league champions. A team with so many auras in one body, in the entire history of English football, There was no second team to come.

Liverpool, with Chen Yingxiong, is destined to rewrite history!

After Liverpool won the league championship four rounds ahead of schedule, Martin O'Neill announced that the first team would have two days off to allow the players to have a good rest and vent all the fatigue and pressure they had accumulated throughout the season. Then go into battle lightly and prepare for the game against Barcelona.

Because they won the championship four rounds in advance, Liverpool's preparation time for the semi-finals increased from the previous five days to ten days, so Martin O'Neill also had the confidence to give the team two days off. Even so, there are still eight days left.

The decision was welcomed by all first-team players.

They can relax, sleep in at home, spend time with their families, or go out for shopping, or simply pick up a car and go on a nearby outing for vacation.

Only Chen Yingxiong could not rest.

Because the FA Cup semi-finals are two days away.

Their opponent is Aston Villa.

The opponents are not too strong, and they have a great chance of entering the finals—in fact, it’s okay to say a 100% chance. The reason why I don't say this is because football is still round after all, and no one knows what accidents will happen. Just like the Merseyside derby between Liverpool and Everton at home...

After the FA Cup semi-final against Aston Villa, it's the league again. Liverpool hosts Wigan Athletic.

After this league game, the Champions League semi-finals with Barcelona will follow.

The two semi-finals are sandwiched between the 36th round of the league.

After the semi-finals are played, it will be the last two rounds of the Premier League.

The end of the Premier League is the FA Cup final.

If Liverpool can get past Barcelona, ​​there will be a Champions League final waiting for him." May 25th happens to be Chen Yingxiong's 28th birthday.

His season isn't over until he plays in this final. Only then could he take a breath and rest.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, Chen Yingxiong's life without even a day off is really hard.

But for Chen Yingxiong, he enjoyed it.

Because every time he participates in a game, he is one step closer to the ultimate mission in his heart.

Just like this, season after season, he believes that sooner or later he will completely surpass Messi and become the well-deserved number one in world football! There is nothing like him!

With a goal in mind, he is full of motivation and fighting spirit.

Maybe one day he will get tired of winning titles and scoring goals. But that is definitely after completing various tasks.

At the very least, Chen Yingxiong, who is not yet 28 years old, has a burning passion for football at this moment, with no sign of extinguishing.

Guardiola thought about it all night.

Just thinking about a question - which one should be given up, the UEFA Champions League or La Liga...

Yes, this is the countermeasure he came up with: cut off the wrists of strong men!

Obviously, it is not Barcelona who is waiting for work now, but Liverpool.

If Barcelona does not want to be eliminated by Liverpool in the semi-finals, it must make a choice-the delusion of advancing on both fronts is definitely not what Barcelona can afford now.

In fact, Barcelona's current strength is still very strong, and there is absolutely no problem in going sideways in Europe.

There are only two teams in Europe that can give Barcelona a headache, one is their mortal enemy Real Madrid in Spain, and the other team is Liverpool, which has recently become their mortal enemy.

It stands to reason that there are only two threats in Europe, and Barcelona is already amazing.

But the problem is that two teams that can threaten Barcelona are all together.

The three teams met like this...

I have to say that Barcelona's luck has really declined.

If it was just against one team, Guardiola wouldn't have to worry so much.

With Barcelona's ability, it is normal to defeat Liverpool or Real Madrid.

But dealing with two teams at the same time is beyond Barcelona's capabilities.

If Guardiola thought his team could defeat Liverpool and Real Madrid in two weeks, the cruel reality will definitely make him regret it.

In fact, Guardiola himself knows that this will not work.

It is impossible for him to deal with two powerful enemies at the same time, he must have a priority.

In other words, an opponent must be given up.

So should we give up the domestic league or the Champions League?

It took Guardiola a night to finally make his decision.

Give up the domestic league.

Although Real Madrid is hateful, even if you beat them, it will only be a league championship.

But the Champions League championship is more important to Guardiola today.

This point was elaborated in the Champions League final last season.

Since the Champions League is more important. Guardiola will certainly abandon the league without hesitation.

Besides, it's not like he has no chance of beating Real Madrid.

As long as he can get past Liverpool. You can enter the finals. And once Real Madrid also reaches the final... Guardiola won't mind at all, allowing Real Madrid to see that terrifying Barcelona in this final that attracts the attention of all Europe!
