Volume 1: Heroes Appear, People Pay Attention Chapter 38: Unite as One (Second Update Guaranteed)
Chen Yingxiong first told his teammates about his goals for this season, and then went to head coach Gerrard and the club's senior management.
This is because he wants to see the reaction of his teammates. If his teammates are not interested in his proposal, or directly oppose it, then he may have to readjust his strategy.
If he wants to complete the task and achieve the goal, he must first rely on the strength of the team, not himself.
So he first needs to know the team's opinion.
Only when the team's opinions are unified can he speak to the head coach and senior management.
Otherwise, if there is disagreement within the team, he will go and tell the team's top management, isn't this creating division?
As a head coach, Gerrard has more issues to consider than players. He will not blindly nod in agreement just because Chen Yingxiong said it.
He must first consider whether his team can do it. This is the most important thing. For players, determination means success.
For a head coach, it is not enough to have determination, but also to have a correct and effective plan.
A head coach cannot travel all over the world with his ideals.
So after hearing what Chen Yingxiong said, his first reaction was not to question or agree, but to ask Chen Yingxiong: "How sure are you?"
Chen Yingxiong patted his chest: "As long as you boost your morale, you don't have to worry about the team's problems." He had the confidence to say this, and Gerrard also believed what he said.
Then what he has to consider is the team's tactics.
"Fighting on two fronts..." Gerald muttered. "Our strategy must be based on the league. Now you suddenly say you want to win the Champions League... I was caught off guard. Hero."
Chen Yingxiong smiled shamelessly: "Anyway, I am only responsible for working hard on the court, and everything off the court is left to you, Stephen!"
Gerald rolled his eyes helplessly. He has known Chen Yingxiong for eighteen years, and he knows Chen Yingxiong very well. The relationship between the two people has long been beyond that of a simple relationship between a head coach and a player. It is more appropriate to say that they are friends.
Since they are friends, there is no need to pay too much attention.
"You're going to give me another problem, hero."
"What are you afraid of? No matter how difficult the question is, I will do it with you." Chen Yingxiong patted his chest. "Besides. Don't you want to win the Champions League? You have officially coached the first team for three seasons. Do you really not want to win the Champions League? You know we have not won the Champions League for six seasons. Think about it, when you lead the team to stand on top of Europe again, you will be a famous coach!" Chen Yingxiong is like a seductive and depraved devil, tempting Liverpool's young coach little by little.
"Okay, okay, don't seduce me..." How could Gerald not know what Chen Yingxiong was thinking? "I'll try, but I can't guarantee success!"
Chen Yingxiong patted him on the shoulder: "Good brother!"

After taking care of Gerald, he went to see Niang with Gerald.
In fact, based on his personal relationship with Niang, he could go directly to Niang without going with Gerard.
However, in order to show his respect for Gerrard and the importance he attached to his friend, he did not do this.
Niang's trust in Chen Yingxiong was even deeper, and he didn't even express any hesitation. After hearing about Chen Yingxiong's ambition, he nodded in agreement. He stated that the club will support the team at all costs. As long as there are needs, you can put them forward and the club will definitely meet them.
He also praised Chen Yingxiong’s plan.
This certainly shows that he has a better personal relationship with Chen Yingxiong, but it is also because he is in a different position from Gerrard. Gerrard is the head coach. How to win the Champions League depends on Gerrard. Niang is irresponsible. So naturally he doesn't need to think about so many specific things, he just needs to nod and praise.
Niang agreed. It means that Liverpool Football Club agreed to this matter. Now that Chen Xing is away from the club most of the time, he has to go back and take over his family's business. So Niang is now responsible for taking full charge of the club's affairs, and Niang is now the number one person in charge of the club.
As for Chen Xing, all you need to do is give him a call.
Niang called Chen Xing and told Chen Yingxiong his goals. Chen Xing naturally had no objection.
"Tell Chen Yingxiong, if you want people, give them. If you want money, give them money."
Niang smiled: "Old Chen, the winter transfer period is over."
Chen Xing just reacted and then smiled.
"In short, tell the hero that I support him 100%! If he really wins the Champions League, I will definitely give him the grandest farewell ceremony in history!"
As the owner of Liverpool, although he has gradually faded out of club affairs over the years, he is still nominally the owner and chairman of Liverpool Club.
He is always concerned about Liverpool's results.
Chen Yingxiong said that he wanted to win the Champions League, which is actually what he wanted. Liverpool have missed the Champions League for six consecutive seasons, which is a disaster for Liverpool. In the past, Liverpool's results were so good that they aroused the jealousy of countless people. Now, when Liverpool is unsatisfactory, they are ridiculing Liverpool a lot. Although Liverpool is still a super strong team in England, they selectively ignore this.
As the owner of Liverpool, Chen Xing often encountered such criticism and ridicule at upper-class gatherings.
So he was holding back a lot of anger. However, no matter how angry he was before, there was nothing he could do. This was not a problem for one or two seasons, and he thought it would not be solved in the short term. And Chen Yingxiong is about to retire. After he retires, Liverpool will not know when he will leave. So he has no delusions.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yingxiong took the initiative to propose such an idea. He was immediately overjoyed, and naturally all his requirements were met.
※ ※ ※
Chen Xing agreed, Niang agreed, and Gerrard could only agree. Coupled with the support of the entire Liverpool team, Liverpool's goals for this season have been revised. Not only the fifteenth Premier League title, but also the fifteenth Champions League title!
It's just that except for the Liverpool people themselves, no one outside knows about this goal.
So no one knows that both Liverpool and Chen Yingxiong are very ambitious this season, and it is not just what they show.
In order to prepare for the Champions League, the Liverpool coaching staff has adjusted the team's training plan - before, they planned to give up the Champions League directly, or let it go and go as far as they can, one step at a time.
Now the team training must be readjusted. After the focus is adjusted, the specific training plan must also be adjusted accordingly.
At the very least, we have to move forward on both fronts.
Mid-February is the day when the Champions League knockout rounds resume.
Until then, Liverpool have to be ready.
Because they only finished second in the group stage, Liverpool's opponent in the top 16 this season is Inter Milan, the group leader in Group H.
This is not an easy opponent to deal with. If Chen Yingxiong does not come back, relying on that Liverpool team, he will be eliminated.
Today's Inter Milan is not the Inter Milan that was unable to even reach the Champions League more than ten years ago and could only compete in the Europa League and was defeated by Liverpool in the final.
After more than ten years of development and adjustment, today's Inter Milan has regained their glory and become one of the most threatening teams in Serie A football.
They are regulars in the Serie A championship, and they are also regulars in the Champions League quarter-finals and even the semi-finals.
The team has also won the Champions League once in the past six seasons.
After Liverpool won nine consecutive championships, six Champions League champions were born in six seasons, and no team was able to defend the title. They collectively showed everyone how difficult it is to defend the Champions League, and how difficult it is for Liverpool to defend the title eight times. How great.
Now, this great team has to face an important turning point, and they will set sail for the second time.
※ ※ ※
For Liverpool fans, it is not a good thing for Liverpool to run into Inter Milan in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. This makes it much more difficult for Liverpool to move forward.
But Chen Yingxiong's view is completely opposite to that of the fans.
He is "brainwashing" everyone in the locker room: "I am very happy that our opponent is Inter Milan. Because only when you defeat such a strong team in such an important game, people will recognize your ability. This is it now. As long as we defeat Inter Milan, the voices that question us and laugh at us will be much quieter! They always worship the strong, and as long as we are the strong, we can let them kneel in front of us and lick Our toes!”
It has to be said that his authority within Liverpool is almost unlimited.
When he said this, Liverpool's players really believed that this was a good signing, and they no longer worried about encountering strong rival Inter Milan in the first round of the knockout round.
On the contrary, they began to eagerly look forward to meeting Inter Milan.
They want to use such actions in response to those who mocked them and questioned their poor performance in the Champions League.
They, like the club's chairman Chen Xing, have been holding back the ridicule.
No matter how many championships they win in the domestic league, they cannot offset the ridicule of their Champions League results from those outside.
They really need to prove themselves again in the Champions League.
Six years without a championship is intolerable for a team like Liverpool, and this is certainly not a good thing. But for the current Liverpool players, it may not be a bad thing. Because this fills them with hunger, their desire for victory and championships may explode at critical moments and become the deciding factor in victory or defeat.
They don't have to bear heavy pressure, they just need to win one game after another.
If you win to the end, you will naturally win the championship! ! ~!
