Volume 1: Heroes Come and Go, People Pay Attention Chapter 64: Defeat Manchester United Easily (Second Update Guaranteed)

Although they lost the game, those Manchester United fans who stayed until the end were in a good mood because they saw hope in Luis Nacho.

Chen Yingxiong is already 40 years old and will soon be 41. He will retire at the end of this season. Everyone knows what Liverpool will look like without Chen Yingxiong - what a person will look like without his backbone, that will be what Liverpool will look like.

The end of each dynasty was followed by the Warring States Period, in which heroes were divided and warlords fought.

If Manchester United wants to regain the throne it held back then, it must be prepared to quickly seize the opportunity, defeat all opponents, and finally regain the top spot.

For this reason, Nacho's maturity is something that makes all Manchester United fans very happy.

In their view, Nacho is the number one star in the Premier League after Chen Yingxiong retired. No other team has a player who can compete with Nacho. As long as Chen Yingxiong retires, Manchester United's return to the top will be just around the corner.

Solskjaer is also looking forward to this.

Nacho's maturity in this game surprised him.

He plans to have another good wrestling match with Liverpool in the two Champions League games.

Previously, he did not make any special adjustments in tactics because he lacked confidence in Nacho. But this time he wants to maximize Nacho's energy, and then let's see what the strength comparison between Manchester United and Liverpool will become.

He is no longer worried about entrusting Nacho with such an important task in such an important game.

Because Nacho has proven with his actual actions that he can shoulder such a heavy responsibility.

Although they defeated Manchester United away from home. However, Gerrard did not get carried away and believed that his team would definitely win the league championship. He also didn't think his team could easily beat Manchester United twice a week later.

The most valuable asset that Martin O'Neill left to this team is not the trophies, but a cautious and serious attitude.

Gerrard spent the New Year under O'Neal and naturally inherited this.

Gerrard is also a cautious and serious person.

He still took the Champions League quarter-finals with Manchester United very seriously. Not just himself, he also asked his players not to get carried away just because they won this game.

"The league is very long, and it is not easy for everyone to persist to this point. I don't want this good situation to be ruined because of some people's underestimation of the enemy. How did Liverpool have so many championships? You should know that Liverpool's championship tradition is What. I want you to keep that in mind."

This is what Gerrard said to his players in the visiting team's dressing room at Old Trafford. As soon as the game ended, he warned his players with a straight face. The caution is evident.

After playing Manchester United, Liverpool's opponent in the 32nd round was the "Black Cat" Sunderland. This is not a formidable opponent.

Considering the next two fierce battles, Gerrard decided to rotate.

But Chen Yingxiong remained.

More than ten years later, this has become a tradition for Liverpool with Chen Yingxiong.

No matter how you rotate. Chen Yingxiong definitely wants it. No matter how strong Liverpool is, even without Chen Yingxiong, they can still defeat their opponents. But he still has to show up.

From the head coach's perspective, Chen Yingxiong is Liverpool's ultimate insurance. If something unexpected happens on the field, for example, the originally strong Liverpool cannot defeat their opponents due to various messy things, then at least Chen Yingxiong is still there. As long as he is there, Liverpool will definitely win no matter what problems they encounter.

This is the role of Chen Yingxiong.

The aspect of playing has never changed. The only thing that has changed is his playing time.

In the past, when Chen Yingxiong was in good physical condition. The whole team rotates, and he can play all the games, and he does this all season long.

Now that his physical fitness has declined significantly, Gerrard has also begun to reduce Chen Yingxiong's playing time for the purpose of protecting him. If the overall situation of the game has been decided and Liverpool will definitely win, he will usually replace Chen Yingxiong between sixty and seventy-five minutes. On the one hand, it will give him sufficient rest time, and on the other hand, it will naturally let Chen Yingxiong be replaced. The hero can enjoy a single moment of cheers and applause from the fans.

Anyway, with Chen Yingxiong's current ability, even if his playing time is reduced. He can also complete the task perfectly.

The nine-month suspension did not diminish his condition, but gave him a chance to rest. As a forty-year-old guy, there were no major physical problems, and he scored goals one after another.

The same thing happened against Sunderland.

Chen Yingxiong played for 60 minutes and scored twice in the game. Helped Liverpool take the lead early.

After completing the task, Chen Yingxiong was replaced by Gerrard.

In appearance. This early substitution makes the most sense because it is only at Liverpool's home court. Only Chen Yingxiong was able to get deafening cheers. In any other stadium, all he would get were overwhelming boos.

In the end, Liverpool defeated Sunderland, who had little fighting spirit, 4:1 at home.

However, the victory in this game did not help them move to second place in the league.

Because Manchester United defeated Bolton 3-0 in another league game, they are still one goal ahead of Liverpool in terms of goal difference.

Nacho once again scored a goal.

The difference between the two is four goals. However, the goal difference between Liverpool and Manchester United has not changed. It is still one goal, and Manchester United beats Liverpool.

Manchester United are desperately trying to ensure their goal difference advantage over Liverpool. This is the only way they can stop Liverpool.

But how long can this approach last?

After all, this will put huge pressure on Manchester United.

Gerrard doesn't care about Manchester United's response, he only cares about the Champions League match against Manchester United.

Liverpool's goals this season also include regaining the Champions League title they have lost for six years.

This was proposed by Chen Yingxiong, and Gerald was stunned by it at the time.

But now that we have to do it, we have to do it well. This season Liverpool must regain the European Champions Cup after losing it for six years!

Even if it is just to give Chen Yingxiong the best farewell gift, if not for the glory of Liverpool, this championship must be won!

Liverpool and Manchester United are old rivals, so there is no need to study them in particular. Just follow the normal preparation procedures.

If it weren't for the media's hype, everyone might not think that what's coming next is a Champions League game, but a rematch of the game a week and a half ago...

※※※

In the first round of the battle between the two sides, Liverpool faced Manchester United at home, and in the second round, Manchester United returned to home.

In terms of schedule, Manchester United is more advantageous.

But everyone knows that when playing against Liverpool, such factors that cannot play a decisive role are bullshit.

One of the most famous classic cases was the showdown between Barcelona and Liverpool. At that time, Barcelona played away first and then at home. Everyone felt that Barcelona's schedule was very favorable and Barcelona would defeat Liverpool to advance to the final.

And Liverpool obviously know this.

After all, at that time, this schedule arrangement was considered one of the favorable conditions that everyone recognized.

The results of it?

Liverpool scored six goals against Barcelona in the first round!

You must know that their opponent is Barcelona! No. 1 in the world at the time.

In order to ensure promotion, Liverpool scored six goals against Barcelona at home, completely killing the suspense of the game.

Since that game, everyone knows that for Liverpool, there is no difference between playing home first and away first.

Because they always have a way of killing you.

This game is no different.

Solskjaer knew this very well, so his tactics in the first round were still defensive counterattacks, but this time he gave Nacho more authority, and he was also the core of the team's counterattack.

He just wanted to see what kind of answer Nacho could deliver in this game.

But it is a pity that Nacho worked very hard in this game, and the whole team worked hard.

But Manchester United still cannot compete with Liverpool.

Chen Yingxiong scored twice in the game and scored all two goals in the game, helping Liverpool achieve a complete victory at home.

His number of goals in the Champions League this season has reached nine, and his ranking in the Champions League scorer list this season has also risen from the previous ten to fourth.

The top-ranked Barcelona shooter Quick has 13 goals. There is a four-place difference between the two in rankings and a four-goal difference.

Luis Nacho has already lost the battle for the Premier League's top scorer list, and now everyone is waiting for Quick to be knocked off the top spot by Chen Yingxiong.

Chen Yingxiong's performance was wonderful, and Nacho simply didn't score a single goal.

It's not that Nacho is in bad shape.

Nacho is in good condition and performs very actively. His running, dribbling and passing are impeccable. He even participated in the team's defense many times. He is not actually the kind of player with excellent physical fitness, but in this game During the game, he ran forward and backward without any effort.

Despite this, he still failed to score and United's performance did not improve due to his active play.

But from Nacho, Solskjaer suddenly discovered a new problem.

In this Champions League game, Manchester United lost 0:2 on the road and was in a very dangerous situation.

It can be said that they have lost hope of promotion, but it can also be said that there is still a glimmer of a chance.

With a gap of two goals, anything is possible after answering home.

But Solskjaer's focus was not on the score.

This discovery made him a little flustered. If it was confirmed, it meant that all his previous efforts were likely to be in vain.

But he must prove it, because he is responsible for the future of Manchester United, even if he denies himself.

Now, whether Manchester United can reach the Champions League semi-finals this season is no longer important.

What he has to do now may be related to Manchester United's next ten years, which is much more important than the Champions League results in one season. ! ~!
