Volume 1: The Hero Appears, Pay Attention Chapter 360: The Aftermath (Guaranteed First Update)
Although the English media did not intend to publicize Chen Yingxiong's great achievements before.
But after this game, they temporarily put this idea aside.
Let's not talk about whether they can still remember their previous promises in such an excited situation. Even if they remember, they have to report it now because the situation is pressing.
You know, Chen Yingxiong scored five goals in the game against Barcelona!
No player has ever scored five goals against Barcelona.
But Chen Yingxiong did it.
And it was in such an important game as the Champions League semi-final.
That's even more amazing.
Such an outstanding performance, even if they don't report it, the whole world can see it, and it will form a wave of discussion, especially on the Internet.
This is a public opinion position that they cannot control.
In today's Internet age, the power of the Internet is getting stronger and stronger.
If they don't want to lose readers, they must report Chen Yingxiong's great achievements.
This is a reality that makes them feel very frustrated.
From that night to the next day, all the major traditional media began to mention Chen Yingxiong's performance in an overwhelming manner, singing praises for him desperately, using all the words of praise they could think of on Chen Yingxiong, and even then they still had to show that they were not satisfied.
So just like that, the naturally formed "ignore Chen Yingxiong" alliance between the media collapsed.
Chen Yingxiong received the real hero-level treatment.
He pointed at the camera and said as a matter of course: "I said I would end the semi-finals in the first round. I mean what I said!"
After that, he nodded the camera lens. Turned and walked away.
This arrogant scene quickly spread around the world with the spread of the Internet and television media.
But this time, even if someone said he was arrogant, they had to add a sentence at the end: "But he has the capital to be arrogant!"
Yes, Chen Yingxiong has proved his ability with his actual performance. For such a person, even if he is arrogant and domineering, what does it matter?
He has the capital!
In this world, the strong are respected. He is strong, why can't he be arrogant and domineering? As long as he has the ability. Arrogance is also a shining point of character. Experts may even announce that such a character is the decisive factor for Chen Yingxiong's success through reverse analysis.
There are also many people who like the arrogant Chen Yingxiong.
This can be seen from the comments on the Internet in recent days.
Just like pretending to be cool, if you have the ability, it is pretending to be cool. If you don't have the ability, it is stupid.
If Chen Yingxiong did not have such strong strength and outstanding results to support him, his character would have been scolded as a pig head.
So people with extreme personalities either become geniuses or lunatics... Chen Yingxiong, who scored five goals, has become the focus again.
Although he is used to such treatment, this time is a little different from the past.
Outside the training ground, there are more fans coming to Melwood Training Base to watch the training. They are not just here to see Liverpool. Many of these people come specifically to see Chen Yingxiong. There are even fans from China who fly to Liverpool just to see Chen Yingxiong training and take a photo with him after the training. Ask for an autograph.
In addition, there are many reporters chasing him.
After the semi-finals, Martin O'Neill also lifted the ban on training and the order for closed training was cancelled.
Reporters swarmed in. This time they were not here to explore Liverpool's training content, they had no interest in it.
They came to interview Chen Yingxiong.
As soon as the training ended, Chen Yingxiong was surrounded by a crowd of reporters and fans, unable to move.
Everyone wanted to hear what he thought about scoring five goals in the big win over Barcelona.
Chen Yingxiong's answer was domineering.
"No feelings, this is something I expected a long time ago."
Some people must have cursed him for pretending in their hearts.
But this time Chen Yingxiong was speaking from the heart.
He had made such a plan when he planned to solve Barcelona in the first round. If Liverpool wanted to win a big victory, how could they miss their own goals? They must have scored a lot of goals. So what's so surprising about scoring five goals in a game?
So this was something Chen Yingxiong had expected a long time ago.
But his bland answer fell into the eyes of others, and it became pretending.
How can a sparrow know the affairs of a swan?
Chen Yingxiong was too lazy to explain to them. He pushed aside the reporters and began to meet the fans' demands... Liverpool and Chen Yingxiong were enjoying great success, but Barcelona was having a hard time.
The next day, many Barcelona fans rushed to their training base. They held banners to protest the team's shameful loss in the semi-finals.
Many fans angrily denounced the Barcelona players who performed poorly in the game on the sidelines of the training ground.
In the media, there was a storm against Guardiola.
These reporters prepared a lot of questions. They didn't have the opportunity to ask questions at the post-match press conference, so they wrote all the questions in the newspaper and asked Guardiola questions.
In addition to dealing with these accountability from fans and the media, Guardiola also faced pressure from the club's top management.
This unprecedented rout shocked the entire city of Barcelona and also shocked the entire Barcelona club's top management.
Barcelona lost without any chance to fight back in the away game. The appearance of throwing away the armor and armor quickly spread all over the world through TV broadcast.
It made every Barcelona person feel ashamed.
The tall image of the glorious universe team that they had created through countless victories and countless championships collapsed last night.
Barcelona's image is the most important, it is the face of a giant.
And yesterday, they even lost face.
How could the top management of Barcelona club not be angry?
The next day. Club chairman Rosell called Guardiola to report to his office.
He wanted to hear Guardiola's explanation.
When talking with Rosell. Guardiola admitted his mistakes in preparation. Because he didn't expect Chen Yingxiong and Liverpool to play for real.
But he also felt very wronged.
Because no matter who it was, no one would believe that the other party would actually play for real.
When Chen Yingxiong said this, the media said that Chen Yingxiong was either crazy or was playing tricks and playing psychological warfare.
But now, the media that said these words have turned around and criticized him for not paying attention to the opponent before the game, taking it lightly, and underestimating Liverpool's determination to win...
This is really, there is no shortage of excuses to accuse someone!
He really won't push some responsibilities, but he can't take the blame for mistakes that don't belong to him.
The most important thing is. He doesn't want the loss of this game to become the fuse for his dismissal.
He really doesn't plan to work in Barcelona for a lifetime. He wants to go to other teams to prove that he is not someone who can only use Barcelona's system and stars to win the championship. But he absolutely cannot accept leaving the team as such a loser, and a loser nailed to the club's historical pillar of shame.
So he has to express his attitude to the chairman and gain his understanding.
In order to avoid being kicked out directly...
The shame of this game. He has already memorized it. Even if he was leaving Barcelona, he had to avenge himself before he left!
After listening to his explanation, Rosell also fell into a long thought.
Guardiola was right. This matter...cannot be blamed on him. After all, no one thought that Chen Yingxiong was serious before the game, not to mention Guardiola didn't believe it, even he didn't believe it.
When watching the game yesterday, when Liverpool scored two goals, he thought it was a normal Champions League semi-final. Even if Barcelona couldn't win. Being able to score an away goal was a good result.
Who would have thought that the final game was completely out of everyone's expectations and went from a very strange angle.
There was a moment at that time, he really wanted to announce Guardiola's resignation decision as soon as the game was over.
Let Barcelona be humiliated in front of the whole world, someone must pay the price. Since there is no way to trouble the opponent, then you have to trouble your own people.
But after a night, he gradually calmed down. As the chairman of a club like Barcelona, impulse can't be eaten.
Must be considered more comprehensively.
What he was thinking about was if he drove Guardiola away. Then would Barcelona still be able to find a head coach so suitable for the team?
Vilanova has proved with practical actions that he is not worthy of being the head coach of Barcelona, and can only be a good assistant coach.
Looking at the entire world football? There is no suitable candidate. Maybe some people's talents are not inferior to Guardiola, but they may not be suitable for Barcelona.
Barcelona's system is unique, which is what Barcelona people are proud of. But it has also become a stumbling block that hinders their integration with the world football.
Some people come from Barcelona's system. But their own strength is limited.
After the great success of Guardiola's Universe Team, Barcelona, whether it is the club's top management or ordinary fans, has been whetted. They can no longer accept the days of struggling for a league championship.
Therefore, if the head coach who comes cannot be as successful as Guardiola, leaving will definitely be the final outcome.
It is really easy to go from frugality to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality...
After thinking about it, Rosell felt that Guardiola had to stay.
At least he should be given a proof that this failure was just an accident.
However, the relationship between him and Guardiola will not be as harmonious as before.
When he wants to kick Guardiola out, this game will be a good reason... When Guardiola walked out of Rosell's office, he did not feel relieved.
His brows were still furrowed.
For him, it takes more courage to stay, because he has to bear more pressure, more criticism and blame.
But he must stay, stand up to this huge pressure, stay and prove himself again.
Sleeping on straw and tasting gall, one day he will spit this breath hard on the faces of Liverpool and Chen Yingxiong! (To be continued)rq! ~!
