Volume 1: The Male Appears, People Pay Attention Chapter 340 This Feels so Good
In fact, making Barcelona reluctantly break a wrist and give up a championship, Guardiola should hate Liverpool the most.
Of course, he did hate it. But, Liverpool are about to meet anyway. This revenge can be avenged immediately. Moreover, I have sacrificed my domestic league, there is no way I can’t even get through the semi-finals!
Barcelona will have no problem treating an opponent seriously and with concentration!
Guardiola is so confident. So what he only thinks about is how he can deal with that bastard Mourinho if Real Madrid also reaches the Champions League final.
As for Liverpool in front of us...
Well, let you see the terrifying Barcelona first!
※※※
Liverpool is now divided into two parts, one is the Liverpool first team plus Chen Yingxiong, and the other is the Liverpool reserve team plus Chen Yingxiong.
The two teams alternated constantly, but there was no overlap with each other.
It's like two worlds.
While the first team was on vacation, Chen Yingxiong and his reserve teammates were receiving training from Clark.
"You have to work harder! You have to be more serious! You have to work harder! This is the FA Cup semi-final. Don't think that just because you have played at Wembley Stadium, it doesn't matter! I tell you, it's all meaningless. !”
Clark's loud voice echoed on the reserve training ground, and everyone could hear it clearly.
No one had time to take a look at Clark because the training intensity of the reserve team was really intense. If they were even remotely distracted, they could make a mistake that would result in hearing Clark's piercing whistle and then seeing him come running towards him in anger. The best thing to do at this time is to lower your head and pretend to admit your mistake humbly. This might make Clark less angry.
Clark's temper has not always been so big. At least the previous reserve team players would not have seen Clark get so angry.
But after Chen Yingxiong ambitiously proposed his legendary plan for the reserve team. Clark is like a different person and is full of passion in training.
Of course, this kind of passion may be unacceptable to some players. Can't adapt.
Those who couldn't adapt were eventually eliminated.
The players who can stay are all those who meet Clark's requirements.
They surrounded Chen Yingxiong. The tactics were faithfully executed during the game without any changes or slack.
Because of this, the Liverpool reserve team was able to reach the semi-finals of the FA Cup again.
But the Liverpool reserve team is not finished just by reaching the semi-finals.
If it was just that, then he would have given the reserve team a holiday long ago. There is no need to train like crazy now.
Although the training was intense, no one complained.
Everyone is gritting their teeth and persisting.
Because they know this is their chance. The last reserve team was their role model. We have come to this point, if we didn't hold on at the last moment... wouldn't it be a pity?
And... look at Chen Yingxiong who is being trained by Clark with them. He is a big star of the first team, and he doesn't ask for any privileges at all. No slacking off, just as serious as them...
Just because of this professionalism, many reserve team players feel that Chen Yingxiong's success is very reasonable.
If it were them, it would be great if they can get carried away after success. In front of players from lower-level teams who are not as good as themselves, they always have to put on some airs. This is human nature.
Chen Yingxiong did not show any such emotion.
Working hard with such a person, even if the whole team acts as a foil for him, the players in the reserve team are willing to do it!
While the first team players are enjoying their two days off, these reserve team players are training hard.
For their dreams. And for their persistence.
When Chen Yingxiong participated in this fiery training, he felt the passion of the reserve team players.
He likes this feeling.
It feels really good to have everyone working towards the same goal together.

Two days later, Liverpool's reserve team debuted at Wembley Stadium. This is their second visit to this stadium this season.
Compared with the freshness of the first time, this time, the players of Liverpool's reserve team were obviously much calmer.
They no longer care about the magnificent stands and the arch bridge at Wembley Stadium, nor are they surprised by the various modern facilities in the dressing room. I didn’t even take out my cell phone and camera to take photos.
They are like a group of veterans who have experienced many battles. Although he hasn't played many games, Chen Yingxiong has unknowingly let his temperament affect the whole team.
At the press conference before the game, reporters gathered.
Facing the cameras and flashing lights, Martin O'Neill, as the nominal head coach of this Liverpool team, looked calm.
"Our goal? Our goal must be the championship. I have already said that this season, we want to win seven championships, and the FA Cup is obviously one of them. You don't need to ask any more questions about the strength of Liverpool's reserve team in the future. Yes, because I won’t tell you if you ask. If you still have doubts, I suggest you watch the League Cup and FA Cup games this season.”
What he said was very rude, but he also seemed domineering.
But the reporters present did not accuse him of being rude or arrogant.
Because people have such confidence...
This season he has won five championships, six last season, and two in the previous two seasons. He has won thirteen championships in less than four seasons as Liverpool coach, which is almost comparable to Guardiola's first time coaching Barcelona.
With so many championships to support him, even a person who is not domineering anymore will slowly become domineering...
Of course, many reporters secretly sighed that Martin O'Neill was really lucky! Why did Liverpool choose him in the first place? He won so many championships in Liverpool, how many of them were related to him? Isn't it all the credit of Chen Yingxiong?
In order not to question the ability of Liverpool's reserve team, let's talk about O'Neill's past with Aston Villa.
Everyone knows that Martin O'Neill coached Aston Villa before coaching Liverpool.
So does he have any special feelings about his old club?
"I don't have any special feelings. It's been four seasons since I left Villa. I had a great time there and I'm grateful for that experience. As for now, the two sides are just rivals."
Martin O'Neill solved this problem very cleverly.
※※※
Martin O'Neill may not have any special feelings about Aston Villa. But Aston Villa fans miss him very much. Especially seeing how Martin O'Neill is doing after he jumped to Liverpool...
Many people felt sour in their hearts - if it weren't for the damn miser Randy Lerner, would the team be afraid of seeing a Liverpool reserve team now?
At the pre-match press conference attended by Aston Villa coach Paul Lambert that ended earlier.
Lambert seemed very cautious.
Even when facing a reserve team, he didn't show the momentum of a Premier League team coach at all.
When answering the aggressive questions from reporters, he seemed evasive. For questions such as "What do you think your chances of winning this game are?" and "Can you comment on the city of Liverpool's reserve team?", he answered very vaguely.
Obviously, if he told the truth, it would hit the morale of the team. But if he told a lie with his eyes open, saying that Aston Villa could definitely beat Liverpool's reserve team, that would anger Chen Yingxiong. And who in the Premier League doesn't know what the consequences of angering Chen Yingxiong are?
So, in the end, he could only be vague and say a lot of nonsense, and in the end, he didn't give any answers. This would neither hit the morale of the team nor anger Chen Yingxiong.
He just thought so. How could Aston Villa fans not see that Lambert lacked confidence in his team?
But they couldn't blame Lambert, because Aston Villa really had no confidence in facing Liverpool's reserve team.
This is why they miss Martin O'Neill so much now. Since Martin O'Neill left Villa, Randy Lerner, the chairman of Villa Club, simply sold players, causing the team's strength to plummet. Originally, they could enter the European war every year, but now they are thankful to be able to stay in the league.
How can such a team compete with the Liverpool reserve team with high morale and Chen Yingxiong?
※※※
On the day of the match, Liverpool fans wearing red jerseys flocked to Wembley Stadium from all directions.
There were quite a few of them, and it was obvious that there were more of them than Aston Villa fans wearing dark red jerseys.
After all, Liverpool had the upper hand in this match, and Aston Villa fans felt that their team was doomed to lose. Who would be interested in watching a game that was doomed to lose?
The fact that so many people came was enough to show the loyalty of Aston Villa fans. If it was the Italian stadium, I'm afraid that nearly half of the stands would be empty.
Liverpool fans sang songs, waved their team flags and scarves, and entered Wembley Stadium with their good mood.
This was their second time to come to this stadium this season, and their fifth time in two seasons.
Thanks to Chen Yingxiong, they are the fans who have come to Wembley Stadium to watch the most games.
In order to express their support and gratitude to Chen Yingxiong and this heroic reserve team, they will use the loudest cheers in the entire Premier League today to send the team to the clouds and drive Aston Villa into the abyss!
You will never walk alone. It is not only the Liverpool first team that enjoys this treatment, but also the Liverpool reserve team! (To be continued)
