Volume One: Heroes Appear, People Pay Attention Chapter 379: Twenty-Eight Heroes (Guaranteed Second Update)

May 25th is the day of the Champions League final and also Chen Yingxiong’s birthday. This time it was really a coincidence.

In fact, even if May 25 is not the day of the Champions League final, it is still a day close to the Champions League final. Generally speaking, the Champions League final of each season is basically held on May 20.

So some media have ridiculed this before. They said that Chen Yingxiong was a man born for the Champions League final.

This is of course just a joke.

But the joke hit the point.

Chen Yingxiong has already won two Champions League championships and reached the Champions League finals three times, but he has only participated in the Champions League for five seasons. He has reached three finals and won two championships in five seasons. From this point of view, he is indeed destined to be in the Champions League final.

From the moment he gets up in the morning, there are always teammates greeting him happy birthday.

"Happy birthday, hero!"

"Happy birthday!"

"Happy birthday, hero!"

The first thing everyone did when they saw Chen Yingxiong was to say hello to him.

In fact, when Chen Yingxiong didn't know it, his teammates were still secretly planning to make him a birthday cake and give him a surprise when the time came.

This shows how popular he is within the team.

External media always say that Chen Yingxiong is a difficult person to approach and his popularity must be very poor. But in fact, whether at Zenit St. Petersburg, Naples, or now Liverpool, his popularity is very good. Even in the Chinese national team, with his backwardness, he already has a vague boss demeanor in the national team.

Chen Yingxiong is bold and generous, likes to treat guests, and has an outgoing and lively personality. How could such a person be so inaccessible?

Therefore, everyone who has been in contact with Chen Yingxiong will sneer at the media's claims. They have seen from Chen Yingxiong the nature of the media's tendency to lie.

Today is Chen Yingxiong’s 28th birthday.

In the blink of an eye, he changed from the 18-year-old stupid boy to the 28-year-old Mesozoic.

Now he can no longer be regarded as a rising star or young general. But he still feels like a child, which may have something to do with his personality.

Just somewhere where others can't see it. He is actually changing. Become mature little by little.

Twenty-eight-year-old Chen Yingxiong has entered the best time of his career, both physically and mentally. His body remains. Even stronger, his psychology is becoming more mature, and he is becoming more experienced.

Today he is on the football field. Like a general who never fails.

The actual situation is also like this. This season, Liverpool has not lost a single match, whether in domestic leagues, domestic cups, or the Champions League!

Such an outstanding performance is naturally inseparable from Chen Yingxiong's performance.

On this day, major media are also paying attention to Chen Yingxiong’s birthday.

Online media are still the fastest to respond. They made various special topics to celebrate Chen Yingxiong's birthday early in the morning - most Chinese websites did this.

Twenty-eight years old is the most glorious time for a professional player and the golden age of a professional player. Chen Yingxiong is twenty-eight years old, which means he will be even more terrifying.

So what kind of birthday gift would the 28-year-old Chen Yingxiong give himself?

Many people immediately thought of the Champions League trophy.

This is the best birthday gift.

If Chen Yingxiong can lead Liverpool to defeat Real Madrid in the Champions League final and win the championship trophy. This is indeed a very meaningful birthday.

"...The hero spent ten years telling us how football legends are written. When he debuted at Zenit, no one knew who he was, an Oriental with black hair and yellow skin. Many people even I thought he was Korean. Or Japanese... I still remember the celebration he made when he scored his first career league goal... that arrogant and confident action. Just like his goals, they are impressive. He tells the world who he is with each goal. Now everyone knows who he is, and his giant poster appears in Buenos, Argentina. He has become a Chinese The most popular sports player, and he has been there for five years, and no one has emerged who can threaten his status. He has appeared in movies, attended various commercial events, and is the player with the highest annual income. But none of this affected his performance on the football field. It was as if he had the ability to separate himself from others. He was one person off the field and another one on the field. ... Some players need to retire before we can make a final decision. But Chen Yingxiong does not need to When he retires, we can say that he is the most legendary player on the planet..."

The above is excerpted from the preface written by Chinese journalist Zhong Dajun for Chen Yingxiong's autobiography. Although it is full of subjective feelings, I have to admit that what he said is true.

Chen Yingxiong deserves such an evaluation and deserves it.

The autobiography "How a Hero is Made", narrated by Chen Yingxiong and recorded by Zhong Dajun, has been sold in various languages, and all are based on a profit-sharing model. Chen Yingxiong and his agent team are very confident about the sales of this autobiography. In fact, this is indeed the case. The number of pre-orders on Amazon, JD.com and other websites has reached an astonishing 1.5 million, and this number is still increasing. The world's first printing of this book is 5 million copies, and now it seems that more copies will definitely be printed.

The autobiography will be released simultaneously worldwide after the Champions League final. Of course, due to the time difference, China, Japan, South Korea and other East Asian regions were the first to be released. When Chen Yingxiong finishes playing in the Champions League final, he will have to fly back to China non-stop to participate in a grand book signing event.

If he has won the championship trophy by then, it will also be a huge stimulus for this signing. Zhong Dajun has no doubt about this. He has already asked the publisher to publicize it in advance and put the Champions League trophy on various promotional posters.

He has full confidence in Chen Yingxiong and believes that Chen Yingxiong will never let such a high honor pass to others on his birthday.

During lunch, the hotel where the team stayed specially presented a birthday cake to Chen Yingxiong.

This is not a cake made by Chen Yingxiong's teammates. They have other uses for that cake. It is a little bit of the hotel's thoughtfulness. With Chen Yingxiong's current popularity, it is absolutely normal for him to have fans in foreign countries.

When eating birthday cake, it’s natural to blow out the candles and make a wish.

"Make a wish! Make a wish!"

Amid the cheers of his teammates, Chen Yingxiong pretended to make a wish, and then blew out twenty-eight candles in one breath.

He didn't tell anyone about his wish, and no one asked. Because it won’t work if you say it out loud.

But that was not the reason for Chen Yingxiong. He didn't tell everyone because he didn't make a wish at all...

Everyone thought he would pray for the team to win the championship when he made a wish. But for Chen Yingxiong, this thing can be done without praying, and there is no value in making a wish. Besides, winning the championship depends on his own efforts. If he makes a wish to God, he might as well make a wish to himself.

As for other things, he couldn't think of anything to wish for right now. His career is on the rise. Although he and Cabrera spend less time together and more apart, their relationship is still stable. He is the most profitable player in the world, and his father also has his own career... His life is so sweet. Like honey. If a reporter from China's national TV station came to interview him at this time and asked him "Are you happy?" Chen Yingxiong would definitely say "Happy!"

With such a wonderful life, he couldn't think of anything else he needed to wish for.

So he just pretended to make a wish, but actually didn't think about anything.

But unknown to his teammates, they took this as a good sign. Playing the Champions League final on Chen Yingxiong's birthday made Chen Yingxiong make a wish, which means that we will definitely win the championship!

After a lunch break and simple physical training in the afternoon, it was dinner.

Everyone ate very little for dinner. After ensuring the basic energy supply, we could no longer eat. If you eat too much, you won't be able to run.

Some people may ask: What should I do if I am hungry during the game because I eat less and consume a lot of energy during the game?

Therefore, all teams will give players extra meals during halftime. Specific content: Different teams have different styles. Some teams’ snacks are very simple, just fruits. Bananas are the best fruit to replenish calories. They replenish calories quickly, make you feel full easily, and won’t eat too much. Some teams will decorate their locker rooms like a food city, with a variety of exquisite snacks, pasta, barbecue and sausages, as well as a wide variety of drinks. Some clubs even allow their players to eat high-calorie junk food like McDonald's and KFC, and carbonated drinks like Coke are not strictly prohibited.

The British have never had any talent in eating. The national delicacies of French fries and fried fish that they are proud of are really not creative and taste bad. But when it comes to snacks, Liverpool is the most luxurious in England. Because they have a Chinese owner and a Chinese general manager.

Therefore, Liverpool players will consciously not eat too much during the meal before each game. They know that there will be many delicious but not high-calorie delicacies waiting for them after the long break and the game. It is really unwise to eat too much before a game and end up unable to eat anything!

After a simple dinner, Liverpool's players rested in their respective rooms. This is the final rest.

The coaches will then call the phone in the room to tell them to come downstairs and assemble.

Usually when there are more than two hours left before the start of the game, they will set off for the competition venue.

There, final preparations are made for the game.

warm up.

And then let the head coach get their emotions going in the locker room.

Finally, go out and tear everything that dares to stand in Liverpool's way to shreds.
