Volume 1: Heroes Appear, People Pay Attention Chapter 19 Changes (First Update Guaranteed)
When Chen Yingxiong played football with his son in his backyard, he had no idea what was happening at the Melwood training base.
When he went to practice the next day, he could feel something strange starting in the parking lot.
Every player they meet will greet him in a very loud tone when they see him, looking full of energy.
This made him feel baffled.
He has been with this group of people for a long time and rarely sees them like this.
In the locker room, that feeling was even more pronounced.
And everyone will say some strange things when they see him.
Things like "Don't worry, hero, we will definitely work hard!" "This season's championship must belong to Liverpool!" "We will definitely help you share the pressure, captain!"
Although these words were all correct, Chen Yingxiong still felt weird when he said them with a high-spirited spirit.
It was as if these people were on drugs and were in an extremely excited state.
He couldn't figure out what was wrong with these people. Could it be that within one day, all these people would have changed their minds?
It was Gerald who revealed the mystery for him after he came.
"I'm sorry, Yingxiong..." Gerald apologized to Chen Yingxiong as soon as he came up, leaving Chen Yingxiong confused.
"What did you do to me, Steve?"
"Well, I took advantage of you and your son..." Gerrard then told Chen Yingxiong about his training yesterday and everything that happened to the team.
After listening, Chen Yingxiong understood what happened to those players today. And why Gerrard must make himself invisible. If he were present, Gerrard would feel awkward talking about it, and the players would also sound awkward, and some people would be embarrassed. Maybe I got it wrong.
This is a good idea. This is especially true from the effect point of view.
So Chen Yingxiong didn't mind that Gerald used his child as a lead.
He waved his hand: "Which one of us is following which one? I don't mind. But have you really changed the spirit of this team? That's amazing!" He gave a thumbs up.
Gerrard smiled, not very proud: "The specific effect depends on the results of the actual game."
Chen Yingxiong patted him on the shoulder: "I believe you!"

Before the next league game. It's a Champions League game.
Liverpool is also the well-deserved hegemon in the Champions League, although it has not won the championship in the past five years. But before that they had an unprecedented nine consecutive championships! The number of Champions League cups placed in their room of honor has increased from the original five to fourteen today. They are the team that has won the most Champions League titles in European football. Real Madrid surpassed twelve championships and became the best team in the history of the Champions League.
It's just that this season Liverpool has not only encountered difficulties in the league, but also in the Champions League.
No matter what kind of death group Liverpool was assigned to in the past, they were able to break out of the siege and eventually win the championship. Those death groups have no taste of death for Liverpool. Their only function is to set off the greatness of their championship.
But this time, their group situation is not dead, but Liverpool seems to be stuck in a quagmire of death. Struggling in the group stage.
In the first two group matches, they had one draw and one loss, and only accumulated one point. This performance deeply disappointed many Liverpool fans. But it also makes some people celebrate.
Liverpool's opponent in the third group match was the second-tier team in the group. It was also the only team that everyone thought could slightly threaten Liverpool-Roma of Italy.
In this game, Liverpool is playing at home. This is an advantage they can rely on in this game. If this were the case in the past, when Chen Yingxiong was here, it didn't matter whether it was home or away. Liverpool would definitely win anyway, and there would be no suspense at all against Roma.
Now, even Liverpool fans are quite uneasy. They don't know whether Liverpool, which is currently in a sluggish state, can satisfy them, or as long as they don't let them down too much.
The Italian media began to promote Roma's dream of being first in the group. Roma won the first two group matches and now ranks first in the group with six points. If they can beat Liverpool away from home, they will basically win the first place in the group.
Roma fans also feel reassured and relaxed about this away trip.
Today's Liverpool simply cannot make them feel the slightest fear. Unlike before, any team that competed against Liverpool basically lost their fighting spirit before the game.
The media is paying attention to this game, and the angle is from Rome's advantage. No one is optimistic about Liverpool, even if Liverpool is playing at home.
But the reality is so cruel - when you think the result will be like this, you end up with that result.
Liverpool, without Chen Yingxiong, played a high-level and high-quality game at home.
From the first minute of the game, Liverpool launched a fierce offensive towards Roma.
Roma, on the other hand, still looked at this opponent with old eyes, and the result was that they were completely caught off guard by Liverpool!
Carlton Cole opened the scoring for Liverpool, and then Liverpool's offensive and scoring frenzy never stopped.
As for Roma, when they conceded the first goal, they thought it was Liverpool's good luck.
When they conceded the second goal, they felt that they were not very lucky today.
When they conceded the third goal, they felt that they had really bad luck today!
When they conceded the fourth goal, they suddenly woke up - our opponent is Liverpool!
Then, there is no more.
Liverpool defeated Roma 5-0 at home and won their first victory in the Champions League this season.
At the same time, this was their biggest win of the season.
Roma originally came to Liverpool with the intention of having a big meal, but in the end they became Liverpool's meal.
When the game ended and the score came up again, many people were stunned.
They couldn't believe it was true.
Even at the best of times, Liverpool, which has always been ups and downs, has been ups and downs, has never been able to play such a hearty game!
What's going on here?
They saw every high-spirited Liverpool player in the game, and everyone became so strange.
Such a team. The final victory over Roma was no surprise.
But what led to such a big change in Liverpool's players?
You know, it was just three days ago. They also appeared to be in a sluggish state, running listlessly during the game and not grabbing some opportunities. Just let it go.
What happened in just three days?

At the post-match press conference, Gerrard said calmly: "One game can't explain anything. I don't have any opinion on it."
When the reporters saw him like this, they wanted to go up and slap him - pretending! Let you pretend again!
Gerrard is indeed pretending, he is actually very happy, but in order to prevent the players from becoming complacent, he has to keep a straight face and say something like "It's just that".
The purpose is to continue to push his players.
But in fact, he was already elated, and the performance of the players showed that his words had an effect. And he is on the right path.
Just follow this path and keep going!
※※※
Gradually, everyone discovered that Liverpool's performance had changed. And it's a real change.
Unlike before, when Liverpool won a game, Liverpool's media and fans began to cheer for Liverpool's recovery.
As a result, every time they finished cheering. Liverpool will give them a slap in the face. Embarrassing and irritating them.
Why else would Liverpool fans be divided? It’s all because of Liverpool’s unsatisfactory behavior...
Anyone who is always slapped in the face by the team they support will be resentful.
After all, not everyone is a "brainless fan."
So even if Liverpool beat Roma 5-0 at home. They weren't too happy either. As Gerrard said, the result of one game cannot explain anything. We still have to see how Liverpool performs afterwards, the so-called "seeing the consequences."
Liverpool's subsequent performance began to give many people confidence.
Because Liverpool started to win consecutively.
Winning three consecutive league rounds, the team's ranking climbed from fourteenth to ninth, entering the top ten.
And the result is a matter of luck, but the scene speaks volumes. Liverpool also took advantage of the situation in the game and returned to the feeling they had when they monopolized the Premier League championship. That is, as long as they watch a Liverpool game, Liverpool fans will feel at ease, because it is so safe. Liverpool will definitely win, from the scene to the result, everything!
This is what these games are like now.
Originally, everyone was a little nervous about Liverpool's results. As a result, these games turned out to be surprisingly reassuring to watch. Even when the opponent attacks, Liverpool's defense is very solid, and when they attack, they counterattack sharply.
So some people began to wonder...will Liverpool really return to normal and get back on its feet this time?
But they still dare not say it, for fear that Liverpool will fall back again after a few games, and then they will be slapped in the face again, which will be quite painful.
Therefore, Liverpool fans view Liverpool's recovery with caution.
Liverpool won consecutive victories but did not get the cheers and applause they thought they would, which somewhat dampened the team's morale.
Gerrard noticed this and was worried about the team's declining morale.
At this time, he can only continue to play the villain, angrily scolding the players for only playing a few games and expecting to get cheers and applause, without first thinking about how long they have made the fans sad and worried.
So the current situation is normal.
Tell the players not to pay too much attention to this aspect. When they perform well and convince the fans that they are not having convulsions again, they will naturally gain heartfelt support from Liverpool fans.
The players felt that what Gerrard said made sense, so the crisis of declining morale passed.
However, Gerrard did not relax. From this incident, he could see that both parties were actually very fragile now. Liverpool players still need confidence, and Liverpool fans who can give them confidence are still waiting and watching at this time.
The best and only way to solve the problem is for the team to keep winning.
Use consecutive victories and outstanding performances to win back the hearts of the fans.
Then use the support of the fans to increase the confidence of the players, thus forming a virtuous cycle.
Then persist until Chen Yingxiong returns.
