Volume 1: When a Hero Appears, People Pay Attention. Chapter 44: Stramaccioni’s Little Thoughts (Second Update Guaranteed)

Chen Yingxiong's declaration as the top scorer has indeed excited the media for a while.

Just as the media thought, Chen Yingxiong announced that he would be the top scorer, which means that Liverpool will at least reach the Champions League final this season. We've already made it to the finals, are we still aiming for the runner-up spot? So Liverpool's goal this season must be the Champions League championship!

This discovery shocked many teams.

After failing to win the Champions League for six consecutive seasons, Liverpool has long been considered to have completely fallen. Although they have achieved nine consecutive championships, they are all in the past. Human beings are always forgetful. Things in the past are gone, and no one will think of them without any trouble.

There are too many examples of things that were once glorious but now have fallen into decline.

If nothing else happens, with Chen Yingxiong's retirement, Liverpool's complete collapse will not be certain.

Therefore, many people no longer regard Liverpool as a strong rival in the European arena.

Now with Chen Yingxiong, they can still be considered a strong team. But Chen Yingxiong has announced that he will retire after the end of this season. Everyone who is an insider in the football circle knows what kind of situation Liverpool will face after losing its backbone.

This kind of thing has happened to many teams. Some teams have sunk for several seasons, and some teams have simply sunk to the point of being relegated.

Liverpool's situation is special. Chen Yingxiong has played for Liverpool for eighteen seasons and brought countless championship honors to Liverpool. He has long been more than just a Liverpool player. Many times, he is even Liverpool itself, and after his retirement, his impact on Liverpool cannot be eliminated in a few games. Although Liverpool is a century-old giant and has a rich background, Chen Yingxiong has surpassed the meaning of being a giant.

This is the most powerful thing about Chen Yingxiong. He changed the temperament of a wealthy family.

For the past eighteen years, he has been Liverpool, and Liverpool has been him. It is impossible to tell the difference between them.

Although the European giants were shocked, they were relieved at the same time. Liverpool will seek to win the Champions League this season, which shows that Chen Yingxiong is really going to retire.

It is reasonable and reasonable to prepare such a gift for him before he leaves.

Everyone was always worried before. Although Chen Yingxiong said that he was going to retire, he was really bullied and scared by Chen Yingxiong over the years, so he did not really retire. Many people still dare not relax, for fear of damaging their character.

It would be really embarrassing if Chen Yingxiong regretted his decision at the last moment.

So these teams have been treading on thin ice. Waiting for the end of the season with trepidation.

It cannot be said that these wealthy teams no longer have the style of wealthy families. It is really Chen Yingxiong who has accumulated too much power. He led Liverpool to dominate European football for more than ten years, killing all the invincible opponents in the world. Back then, Barcelona, ​​known as the Cosmos Team, was able to be led by Chen Yingxiong to lead Liverpool to score six goals. The impact of that game was far-reaching. Barcelona only saw Liverpool. Performance will be worse than usual.

Liverpool has left a permanent psychological shadow in their hearts.

This shadow continues to this day.

Five seasons ago, Liverpool and Barcelona met in the Champions League quarter-finals. At that time, Liverpool had just lost the Champions League championship in the final of the previous season, and Chen Yingxiong was already 35 years old. Barcelona believed that it was a shame that Chen Yingxiong's Liverpool scored six goals back then, and planned to avenge this revenge at this time and regain their face.

So when they met Liverpool, Barcelona's morale was high and they were talking wildly, saying that Liverpool was no longer a threat. They actually lost to the not-so-powerful Juventus in the Champions League final - to the Barcelona media, Juventus's championship was indeed unconvincing, because Juventus played very boring and cautious football. It also doesn’t fit in with the aesthetics of Barcelona people. And any team that does not meet their aesthetics will win the game. They will also be criticized as "not a fair result".

The Catalan media began to desperately publicize the tragic defeat that year, paving the way for this revenge battle. Claiming to repay the humiliation tenfold.

Faced with Barcelona's pressing pressure, Chen Yingxiong only said one sentence: "I really didn't expect that someone would bring up his original scandal and repeat it repeatedly, making it known to the world. It seems that he is afraid that today's younger generation of fans will still I wonder if their tragic past is the same..."

Then in the two rounds of the quarter-finals, Chen Yingxiong easily scored a total of five goals and turned Barcelona into a powder, leaving not even a scum left.

Then after the game, he apologized and said that he was too embarrassed not to win 60:0 against Barcelona. He was unable to realize Barcelona's desire to be beaten ten times.

Although Barcelona was so angry that they vomited blood at the time, the terrifying images of Liverpool and Chen Yingxiong were deeply rooted in Barcelona's hearts.

Let them fully realize that even though Chen Yingxiong is thirty-five years old, he is not someone they can afford to offend.

From then on, no matter how unhappy they were with Chen Yingxiong, they kept their tail between their legs and lived a low-key life, waiting for Chen Yingxiong to retire before going to Liverpool to pay off these two blood debts.

They can't defeat Chen Yingxiong, but they firmly believe that time can defeat Chen Yingxiong. Haven't you seen that Chen Yingxiong's body has been getting worse every year over the years? From that time on, they firmly believed that Chen Yingxiong would retire in the near future.

At the end of last season, when they heard that Chen Yingxiong refused to renew his contract and would retire after the next season, countless Barcelona fans danced with joy under the sunny sky.

This damn nemesis is finally out!

But they didn't dare to show it. They knew Chen Yingxiong's temper. They were afraid that if they showed it, it would arouse Chen Yingxiong's idea, and then Chen Yingxiong would express his antagonism and announce that he would not retire... Then something big would happen. Got it!

So Barcelona is very honest and low-key this season.

Not only that, when the English Football Association couldn't wait to publicly "remember" Chen Yingxiong, a group of people in European football were impatient with him. I don't know how many times they cursed in their hearts, "The English Football Association is stupid."

Now everyone sees that Liverpool plans to compete for the Champions League championship. While they are worried about their championship dream, they are also full of hope for the future.

That old pervert Chen Yingxiong is finally going to get out. Isn’t the future of football our world?

So are we going to grant Liverpool's last wish?

The devil is so satisfied!

Chen Yingxiong has won ten Champions League titles. He is the player with the most Champions League titles in history. One person can almost equal the number of Champions League titles won by one Real Madrid team.

Does he care about this Champions League title?

I definitely don't care.

But he will care about the top scorer in the Champions League. Because since he first participated in the Champions League, no matter what the final result of his team is, he will definitely be the top scorer.

He seems to care about this very much.

Even if Liverpool have never won a championship in the past six seasons, he is still the top scorer.

His career is basically made up of various top scorers.

He certainly doesn't want to lose such an honor in the last season of his career.

Other teams don't care much about the honor of being the top scorer. Individual honors are not as important as collective honors.

If Chen Yingxiong wants it, then give it to him and we won’t fight with him.

However, neither Liverpool nor Chen Yingxiong wants this Champions League title.

We want the Champions League, you want the top scorer, and everyone gets what they need. Isn’t this good?

After the initial shock, the wealthy families analyzed it for a few days, digested the things involved, and settled down.

Although Liverpool defeated Inter Milan 4-0 in the first game, this was not because of how strong Liverpool was, but because Inter Milan underestimated the enemy too much.

Take a look at what the Italian media who supported Inter Milan said before the game.

The tail is raised to the sky, it would be strange not to lose!

After all, Liverpool is still a wealthy club. If you treat them as a newly promoted team, can you not be unlucky?

※※※

How could Stramaccioni not know the thoughts of other European giants? When Liverpool was traveling across Europe, these giants formed a united front. After Liverpool's fall, they fought each other mercilessly, so Stramaccioni knew the thoughts of these giants very well.

He knew how these wealthy clubs viewed his failure.

He didn't want to explain more. He even hoped that these wealthy families would be unlucky with him.

A feeling of "Since you are all laughing at me, so good! If I am not comfortable, you don't want to be comfortable either, don't run away!" A feeling came out from the depths of Stramaccioni's heart.

So in the post-match press conference, he didn't even think about Liverpool's true strength. He just admitted that his team underestimated the opponent.

The implication is that if you don't underestimate the enemy, it shouldn't be difficult to defeat Liverpool in an away game.

This is actually what Stramaccioni wants other wealthy teams to know.

He suddenly hoped that Liverpool could really go all the way to the final and knock all the wealthy teams who felt good about themselves to the ground.

After personally experiencing the power of forty-year-old Chen Yingxiong, Stramaccioni is now convinced of Chen Yingxiong.

If this Liverpool team has Chen Yingxiong, it is not impossible to win the Champions League again.

Anyway, after his team was severely beaten by Liverpool with four goals, he no longer had to hope for the Champions League championship. Stramaccioni thinks it's a good deal to exchange one season's failure in the Champions League for future glory.

Now he can watch the show in peace. I hope Chen Yingxiong and his Liverpool will not let him down by then. (To be continued)
