Volume 1: Males Come and Go, People Pay Attention Chapter 81 New Challenges (Second Update Guaranteed)
In fact, Chen Yingxiong has also thought about what Liverpool will be like after he retires.
He heard all the sounds from the outside world.
And he could more or less make a rough guess.
It's not that he is boasting. If he retires, it will not be really difficult for Liverpool.
I have been accustomed to myself for eighteen seasons, and suddenly one day I am gone. To say that Liverpool can do whatever they want without being affected, and the earth rotates, is a lie.
He also knows that if he retires, Liverpool is likely to go through some very dark years. But he didn't know how long this period of time would last.
Liverpool is not his debut team, nor is it the parent team he has supported since he was a child. He only came to Liverpool midway. Before that, he had no feelings for Liverpool. Although he didn't hate it, he definitely didn't like it.
How can people be ruthless if they are not just grass and trees?
After playing for this team for eighteen seasons, even the most hard-hearted people will always have some feelings.
Chen Yingxiong's love for Liverpool arose little by little after he discovered how cute these fans were.
Now, like his son, he is Liverpool's number one fan.
In fact, he didn't want to see the foundation he had worked so hard to build disappear just because he left.
Although all glory will be fleeting, Chen Yingxiong's career is basically a biography of him.
Therefore, he felt that this universal truth and law might not be impossible to change.
Liverpool's dynasty has lasted sixteen years. Why can't it continue?
Perhaps for other teams, this is a very boring, even dark and scary future.
But for Liverpool people, this is the best future.
Unfortunately, he has to retire. Even if he is still in good health and condition now, he can't always play for Liverpool until he dies, right?
Therefore, although he was worried about Liverpool's future after losing him, there was nothing he could do.
Until he heard what his son said.
His son's words made him think about it all night.
Football has lost its challenge for him, which was the main reason why he decided to retire.
In fact, this was also the case during the half season when he came back. As long as he plays, Liverpool can win easily. Against a team like Manchester City, he could score an astonishing thirteen goals, helping Liverpool defeat their opponents 17:0.
I have won enough championships. No matter how you take it, you are just repeating the previous work.
He doesn't make money by playing football either. He has more money now than he can spend in three lifetimes.
So does football still have any appeal for him?
the answer is negative.
If it was just to continue the Liverpool dynasty, there was no need for him to stay...
Because if you don't have fun playing, what's the difference between it and The Walking Dead?
If he were to stay. At the very least, you have to make him feel that staying is a very happy and worthwhile thing.
In this regard, Chen Yingxiong was unwilling to wrong himself.
Football to him is more than just championships and money.
The most important thing is the challenge.
When he was an unknown player, he found becoming the number one player in the world an attractive challenge.
For this, he constantly breaks through himself and sets records. It soared like a rocket amidst the admiration of everyone.
Later, he found Messi as his opponent. In order to surpass Messi in all aspects, he continued to work hard.
Now Messi has retired long ago, before he retired. He completely defeated the Argentinian in terms of championship honors.
Then he only has one more challenge left to lead Liverpool to surpass Manchester United in the number of Premier League titles.
Now the challenge is about to be completed.
So if he doesn't retire and stay, what challenges are there?
Think of this. The face of Giovanni Leon Amoruso suddenly appeared in Chen Yingxiong's mind.
The man said to the camera with a stinking look on his face: "I'm going to break all the records he's set."
By the way, this guy wants to break all my records?
It sounds true. If he retires, if the young Amoruso has no opponent in the next ten years, he may really break his own record...
Although it may not be all of them, even if he breaks a record, it would probably be a very embarrassing thing for him.
After thinking for a long time, Chen Yingxiong punched himself in the palm.
He thinks he's found a new challenge!
※※※
Chen Yingxiong made a decision in his heart, but he didn't tell anyone.
When I went to train the next day, there was still a sea of people outside the Melwood training base.
These people are here to fight to see more of themselves.
When Chen Yingxiong's huge Hummer H9 series appeared, the crowd burst into loud cheers.
Everyone rushed to say hello to Chen Yingxiong.
"Good morning, hero!"
For a moment, "Good morning" in various languages rang outside the Melwood training base.
Chen Yingxiong rolled down the car window and waved to everyone.
This caused an even bigger wave of cheers.
After Chen Yingxiong left, the calls didn't stop.
They love themselves so much and hope that when they announce their decision, they won’t feel like it’s a waste of money…
※※※
Chen Yingxiong walked into the locker room, and his teammates greeted him one after another. Seeing everyone’s faces full of energy and high morale after a day’s rest.
He also felt that now was not a good time to tell them this decision.
We cannot let these boys think that they will have a chance to compete for the Champions League in the future.
It seems it would be better to announce it after the season is over.
Chen Yingxiong made up his mind and started greeting everyone as usual. Then train.
No one would notice anything strange about him.
In this way, Chen Yingxiong and Liverpool ushered in his penultimate home game before retiring.
The second leg of the Champions League semi-finals.
Liverpool faces Bayern Munich at home.
The game brought a packed house to Stanley Park.
And when ticket checking stopped, there were still unwilling fans gathering in the square outside the stadium. Even if they can't see the live broadcast of the game here, they are not willing to leave.
Because this is the closest place to Chen Yingxiong.
They just want to get closer to their idols now, and it doesn't matter what they get from the competition.
Anyway, there is no suspense in this game.
Because Liverpool beat Barcelona 3:1 in the first round, leading by two goals and also having three away goals. Bayern Munich will have a chance to come back and win unless they score more than three goals against Liverpool away from home.
But this is absolutely impossible!
No team has ever beaten Liverpool by more than two goals, let alone three.
So many Liverpool fans came to this game simply to watch Chen Yingxiong.
Because this is one of the last two away games before Chen Yingxiong retires.
Passed this opportunity. Only the final round of the league is left.
So everyone rushed over.
Even the tickets for this game have been sold at sky-high prices. The ticket with the lowest price and the worst location has been sold for more than ten times.
They all came to see Chen Yingxiong.
Bayern Munich is not even a supporting player in this game.
No one cares about them, not even the commentators are paying attention to them.
Television footage was frequently shown to the fans in the stands.
They put up all kinds of slogans. Some are quite creative, using this way to send off Chen Yingxiong.
Chen Yingxiong lived up to expectations and scored a goal in this game, raising his number of goals in the Champions League this season to fourteen.
Tied with Barcelona's Quick.
In the end, Liverpool defeated Bayern Munich 1:0 at home, who was not interested in playing. Just made it to the Champions League final.
But there was no huge cheer after the game to celebrate reaching the final. Because throughout the game, the cheers of Liverpool fans were at a very high decibel level.
As long as Chen Yingxiong gets the ball. You will hear the hysterical shouts of Liverpool fans: "Hero - hero! Hero!!"
It's as if this is not Liverpool's game, but Chen Yingxiong's game.
Club chairman Chen Xing, who saw this scene on the podium, said to Niang next to him: "I think we should consider arranging a farewell match for the hero."
Niang nodded: "I plan to invite the World Star Team and..."
Chen Xing waved his hand directly: "Forget it about the World Stars United. Many of these people have enmity with the heroes. You want people to come and cheer for the heroes. It's impossible. I think it's better to create a Liverpool Veterans Team and now Let this Liverpool play a game."
Niang thought for a while and said hesitantly: "Does anyone think that the hero's farewell game should not just be like this... it should have a worldwide influence..."
"Hey. No matter what others think? The hero is our hero. And the hero doesn't need a farewell game to gain worldwide influence."
Chen Xing doesn't care about other people's opinions.
Niang had no objection: "Okay, I'll think about it right now."
"Yeah. It doesn't have to be the end of the season. We can hold a farewell game at a suitable time in the summer."
"Okay." Now we are starting to prepare for the testimonial match. It really needs to be completed by then. Inviting Chen Yingxiong back at that time may also boost Liverpool's morale in the new season. This may be a good thing for Liverpool in the post-hero era.
The two people reached a consensus on this issue and stopped talking about it.
They turned their attention to the stadium again. The game was over, but the fans at Stanley Park refused to let Chen Yingxiong leave. They kept chanting Chen Yingxiong's name.
This was still the case after Chen Yingxiong had left the stadium, just like fans at a concert shouting for the singer's return encore.
So Chen Yingxiong finally ran out again and began a tour of gratitude around the stadium.
Wherever he goes, Liverpool fans surge up to him, reaching out to him.
This was not his last game at Stanley Park this season, and there were scenes like this. Then in the final round of the league, what kind of grand occasion will this stadium look like?
It’s really something I don’t want to see, but I’m also fascinated by it…
