Volume 1: Heroes Come and Go, People Pay Attention Chapter 43 Champions League Champion and Top Scorer (First Update Guaranteed)

Stramaccioni taught his players a lesson during the halftime break. For fifteen minutes, he kept telling everyone how important it was to stay humble and take every opponent seriously. He took their opponent Liverpool in this game as an example.

The image is vivid and the players have personal experience.

After the fifteen-minute intermission, the Inter Milan players stepped onto the court again, and they suddenly discovered that their head coach didn't even say a word about what they were going to do in the second half during the intermission!

They were a little confused - is the head coach going to give up this game?

Thinking of this, some people are a little unconvinced. Isn't it just two goals behind? Can't we get it back?

But soon they saw what the head coach said at halftime, and they saw Chen Yingxiong.

Get it back?

I'm afraid it's difficult...

Saying this in front of this man is simply ridiculous!

Forget it, as long as we can score an away goal, that will be good. The main task is to prevent further conceding of the ball!

As long as the game can end with a score of 1:2, it will be a successful away trip for Inter Milan.

Thinking of this, those unconvinced Inter Milan players no longer have any unconvinced thoughts.

In front of Chen Yingxiong, they really don't have the qualifications.

※※※

Inter Milan hoped to not concede a goal in the second half and score a goal at the same time, and then lost the game with a score of 1:2.

They feel that their requirements are low enough.

But the cruel reality gave them a blow.

In other words, the cruel Chen Yingxiong gave them a blow.

He completed his hat trick of the game just five minutes into the second half! A signature header! At the age of forty, he is still the highest jumper in the penalty area!

"Hero! Hero! Scoring twice is surprising enough! I didn't expect that he actually completed a hat trick!"

"It's unbelievable! Unbelievable! What is the limit of the forty-year-old Chen Yingxiong? I think there is no answer to this question!"

"Hat! Hat! Hat! Hat—! Hat trick! Great hero! Great hero! I can't see any difference between the forty-year-old Chen Yingxiong and the thirty-year-old him..."

"God! Is he still a human being? Is he still a human being?! I think this game will definitely attract a lot of attention! And anyone who has watched this game will probably change Liverpool's position in their hearts. And there will definitely be a big adjustment to Liverpool’s winning odds after the game!”

※※※

Inter Milan's players were devastated.

They didn't expect that old guy to be so powerful.

He was able to score a hat trick against them!

Is he really forty?

Isn't he really only twenty years old?

Chen Yingxiong's monster has completely surpassed the understanding of ordinary people. Faced with such a monster opponent, Inter Milan lost all will to resist.

In the 70th minute, Liverpool scored another goal. The person who scored the goal this time was finally not Chen Yingxiong. But Carlton Cole.

This made many neutral spectators breathe a sigh of relief - if Chen Yingxiong had scored the goal, they would have felt that something was wrong with the world, and they could not accept this setting at all.

A hat-trick is scary enough. Another big four...do you want anyone left alive?

Just after Carlton Cole scored, Chen Yingxiong was replaced.

He raised his hand to wave to the fans in the stands, and the stands erupted in cheers like a roaring tsunami. All Liverpool fans stood up from their seats and applauded Chen Yingxiong to see him off.

As for the Inter Milan players, they saw Chen Yingxiong being substituted and suddenly realized: This man is really forty years old!

Because in the past, Chen Yingxiong would never be substituted. He will play all the minutes of all Liverpool games in a season without missing a second, so he is considered an iron warrior-like figure.

But now he was replaced early.

This shows that his physical strength is not as good as before.

He also played in a Merseyside derby three days ago. This game was very intense and the physical exertion was much higher than usual games. He played the whole game. It wasn't that Gerrard was unwilling to let him take a break early, but that the situation at the time didn't allow him to do so.

At that time, Liverpool relied on a goal from Chen Yingxiong to maintain the lead, but a one-goal lead could not make Everton admit defeat. On the contrary, it aroused their fighting spirit, so Liverpool struggled to support themselves in the next game. In that situation, Chen Yingxiong had to be on the court. He will be a deterrent to Everton on the pitch. Let Everton not dare to press all the way. Although Chen Yingxiong is not so famous in the Champions League, he is still in his own three-point territory in the Premier League. He was also the most dominant player.

It was precisely because Chen Yingxiong was not replaced that Liverpool finally won the game.

After this fierce city derby, the Champions League game will follow.

Fighting two heavyweight matches in three days, Chen Yingxiong's physical fitness is indeed worrying.

Gerrard replaced him early, on the one hand, so that he could get cheers from the fans in the stadium, and this cheer would be dedicated to him alone.

On the other hand, it is natural to let him get sufficient rest time.

※※※

When Chen Yingxiong exits the game, the game is basically over.

Inter Milan has long been unwilling to play, and so is Liverpool. With a four-goal lead in the first round, they are basically guaranteed to advance to the quarterfinals.

Now the team is fighting on two fronts and cannot use up all its energy on one front. The players themselves also have to learn to adjust.

Gerrard also began to make frequent substitutions, quickly using up three substitutions. Try to allow as many players as possible to get rest time and opportunities to practice.

The final game ended with a score of 4:0.

The game was over. Before Chen Yingxiong could stand up from the bench, he was surrounded by reporters who had been waiting for a long time.

Having completed a hat trick in this game, Chen Yingxiong’s comeback in the Champions League was perfect.

It is normal for him to be the focus of media attention.

In the face of these enthusiastic reporters, Chen Yingxiong did not disappoint them and broke the news to live up to expectations.

"The top scorer in the Champions League this season. I still want it!"

※※※

Chen Yingxiong only played half of the Champions League last season. He was the top scorer in the Champions League, eighteen seasons ago in the 2010-2011 season.

Chen Yingxiong was only twenty-three years old at that time.

He was still at Napoli and banned for eight Champions League games. After missing all six group matches, he started in the quarter-finals and then led Napoli all the way to the Champions League final. And defeated the powerful Barcelona and won the first Champions League trophy in the club's history for Naples. He also beat Messi and became the top scorer with 13 goals.

That is an eternal classic in the history of the Champions League.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yingxiong now plans to re-enact this classic.

He also missed all the games in the first half of the season, and also started in the Champions League quarter-finals.

He scored three goals in the first game...it really looked promising.

This time, no one was as surprised as they were 18 years ago, or laughed at Chen Yingxiong for not overestimating his abilities, and he needed his then head coach Mazzarri to support him.

After so many years, everyone knows that Chen Yingxiong has this ability.

He said he wanted to win the top scorer, so whether he can win it is not controversial. Everyone just needs to see how he does it.

Liverpool did not win the Champions League for six seasons. But the team's performance is one thing, and individual performance is another.

Even if Liverpool fails to win the Champions League for one reason or another, Chen Yingxiong has never let the honor of being the top scorer of the Champions League slip by!

Even if there are two seasons. Liverpool were eliminated in the quarter-finals. Chen Yingxiong was still the top scorer in the Champions League in those two seasons.

His scoring ability is evident.

Since he was able to establish his top scorer status in only six group matches and two quarter-finals games.

So why can't he spend half a season in the knockout stages to get the top scorer?

What interests everyone more is not Chen Yingxiong himself, but the meaning behind this sentence.

To get the top scorer. Playing only one or two games in the knockout stage is definitely not enough, and playing four games is also very unsafe.

If Chen Yingxiong really wants to get the top scorer, then he has to lead the team to at least reach the semi-finals, which may not guarantee him the top scorer.

Better for Liverpool to reach the final...

So the meaning behind Chen Yingxiong's words is Liverpool's ambition. They actually plan to reach the Champions League final again!

And entering the Champions League final, is Liverpool's goal just to help Chen Yingxiong win the top scorer?

Obviously not, their real goal is probably...the Champions League championship!

Liverpool wants to win the championship!

They are unwilling to miss out on the championship for another seventh year!

Is this giant that once monopolized the Champions League and won the trophy for nine consecutive seasons finally waking up again after sleeping for six years?

No... maybe this is just a flashback? As Chen Yingxiong's last season before retiring, Liverpool may want to use this method to send off the greatest player in their history.

So even if Liverpool can win the Champions League this season, this is likely to be their last Champions League. After Chen Yingxiong retires, Liverpool will surely fall apart. In addition, Carlton Cole is actually old, and the team's number one and number two players have left the team one after another. This team will fall into a long cycle. When they wake up again, who knows how long it will be.

But no matter what happens in the future, Liverpool's strength this season will definitely give many people the illusion that the Liverpool team back then is back!

This is a huge threat to them.

Liverpool has shown its fangs, and it is absolutely impossible for other European giants to sit still and wait for death.

This season’s Champions League will be even more exciting!

As soon as the media thought about such a future, they suddenly went crazy...
