Volume 1: When a Hero Appears, People Pay Attention. Chapter 96: Weak Enough to Be Bullied? (Third Update)
Chen Yingxiong's weak response seemed to fuel Barcelona's arrogance.
After that, there were more and more strange voices coming from Barcelona, including from the media, players, and even the club's top brass.
The vice chairman of Barcelona Club simply ridiculed that Liverpool should cry and beg to give Chen Yingxiong a new ten-year contract, so that Liverpool can continue to dominate football for ten years with an old man.
At the same time, Chen Yingxiong's unexpectedly weak response also surprised many Liverpool fans.
However, they did not blame Chen Yingxiong for his weakness, but felt sad - after Chen Yingxiong's game is over, isn't this what the future of our Liverpool will look like? I don’t blame others for saying what we said was so unpleasant...
Every Liverpool fan feels uncomfortable when they think that Barcelona, who have been stepped on by them, will ride on their necks and shit in the future.
But there is nothing they can do.
They can even somewhat understand why the hero's counterattack is so weak.
Because they feel the same as Chen Yingxiong.
This is a dynasty that we have worked hard for. Fans like them watched how this dynasty rose from the ashes and how it was built step by step.
In the end, they had to watch the dynasty collapse again.
Time is all time.
No matter how glorious a dynasty is, it will be submerged in the wind and sand of the long river of time. And no matter how invincible the hero is, he will lose to time, and the hero will grow old.
This is the law of nature and none of them can stop it.
But this kind of thing happened to them, but they couldn't accept it... What made Barcelona happy was that they saw more from Chen Yingxiong's response.
Chen Yingxiong has always been the external spokesperson of Liverpool Club and the entire team. What he says basically represents the attitude of the entire Liverpool team.
If he is tough, then the whole Liverpool team must be tough.
So now that he is weak, is there something deeper behind this?
In other words, there are problems within Liverpool, so that Chen Yingxiong appears to lack confidence.
Player infighting? Are the generals at odds? In other words, Liverpool's players have already foreseen the team's dark future when Chen Yingxiong retires. Therefore, the military morale has begun to be unstable, and everyone is thinking about their future. So I don't care much about the current game.
This is one of the reasons why Barcelona think they can beat Liverpool at home and avenge their disgrace.
Of course, they only had this kind of speculation before.
But now Chen Yingxiong's statement proved to them their guess, and they were very convinced of their guess.
Liverpool definitely have a problem. And we can use this problem to defeat them in one fell swoop at our home court... In fact, there are indeed some problems within Liverpool because of Chen Yingxiong's response to Barcelona.
Liverpool players were all surprised by Chen Yingxiong's statement. I don’t understand why the always tough captain is so low-key and weak when facing the provocation of his enemy Barcelona?
Is it really because you are considering retiring that you have no interest in competing?
That's not right. What are you working hard for this season? Isn’t it just for this last game?
But this explanation is the most reasonable. If not for this reason, what else could it be?
A group of people couldn't understand, but they couldn't tell Chen Yingxiong for fear of irritating Chen Yingxiong, who was "in a bad mood".
After all, I have to retire and leave the green field where I have worked hard for more than 20 years. Everyone will have some mood swings, and it is possible to even fall into depression.
If you ask this question again to Chen Yingxiong. Isn't this just rubbing salt into other people's wounds?
So everyone could only hold back the doubts in their hearts, but there was a knot in their hearts. They were a little absent-minded during the training, and the effect was greatly reduced.
This scene all fell in the eyes of head coach Gerrard.
He naturally knows why the players are doing it.
It may be difficult for the players to ask because their relationship with Chen Yingxiong has not reached that point yet.
But you can ask yourself.
This matter is of great importance. If it is not resolved, Liverpool may really fail in the Champions League final.
This is what no one wants to see.
So taking the opportunity after a training session, Gerrard called Chen Yingxiong into his office to talk to him alone.
in the office. Gerrard spoke about the concerns players have had recently.
Chen Yingxiong initially wondered why Gerrard called him into the head coach's office, looking so businesslike.
Now after listening to it, I feel even more speechless.
"You actually think that's weakness?"
"It's not me. It's them." Gerald took it out first, and then said, "At this very sensitive time, everyone will make judgments based on your reaction, and this judgment may deviate from yours. The expected trajectory leads to a conclusion that is completely opposite to yours. So it is normal. I think you need to explain this to them, hero."
Chen Yingxiong spread his hands: "Okay, I will talk to them about this during training tomorrow."
Even after leaving Jerad's office, Chen Yingxiong was still mumbling.
He didn't expect that such a strong statement would cause his teammates to have such thoughts...
Do you look like a weak person?
He touched his chin.
How do you explain this to your teammates?
Tell them that he won't retire, so Quick will definitely get his comeuppance - his own comeuppance.
Isn’t this nonsense?
He would never tell his teammates about this before the Champions League final. The purpose is not to distract them, not to think too much about other things, and to concentrate on preparing for the finals.
So of course it was impossible for him to tell his teammates the truth.
What should I say?
Chen Yingxiong rolled his eyes and thought of Barcelona's attitude.
Then he had an idea.
Now that you think you have a chance to win, let me add fuel to your fire... The next day, before the start of training, Chen Yingxiong explained to his teammates in the locker room how he responded to Quick recently. Something happened.
Chen Yingxiong told everyone that this was actually his psychological warfare - deliberately showing weakness to make Barcelona careless, and then surprise them in the final!
Then he explained his plan to everyone in detail.
He just relies on his background of retiring to make his opponents believe that he has really surrendered - if it were normal times, they would never believe that Chen Yingxiong would be so surrendered. But when it was time to retire, whatever Chen Yingxiong did made sense.
Now it seems that the effect is good. Barcelona is almost overwhelmingly pessimistic about Liverpool and optimistic about Barcelona. They also really believe that Chen Yingxiong, who is about to retire, has only five combat effectiveness...
So he asked his teammates to use their tricks and stage a good show of "pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger" with him.
After he explained this, everyone suddenly realized - it turned out to be like this!
After Chen Yingxiong explained clearly, the doubts in their hearts disappeared, and they were no longer distracted. And not only that, they also gained new motivation because they were all very interested in Chen Yingxiong's plan.
Barcelona was so arrogant before, as if they had already won the Champions League in advance, which made them very unhappy. But at that time, they were also confused about Chen Yingxiong's reaction, so they didn't know how to deal with Barcelona.
This made them very frustrated.
Now that the problem is solved, they can naturally devote their energy to dealing with Barcelona.
However, the boss said they were going to pretend to be pigs and eat tigers, so they couldn't act too murderous, otherwise Barcelona were not fools. If they were vigilant and prepared in advance, the boss's plan would be ruined. Since the boss wants them all to pretend to be pigs, then just pretend that you are pigs. Accumulate all the unhappiness and anger in your heart, turn it into strength, and then give Barcelona a big "surprise" during the game!
Now that Barcelona is so arrogant, let them continue to be arrogant for the time being. When the game comes, let's see who is the most arrogant!
With a goal and specific methods in mind, the morale of the Liverpool team instantly recovered. They put aside distracting thoughts in the following training and devoted themselves to it. The training effect was very good, which made the coaches nod their heads again and again.
Gerrard is happy to see that the team's morale has recovered, and everyone is working hard and conscientiously in training, as if they have endless motivation.
He didn't know what Chen Yingxiong said to those teammates, but it didn't matter, heroes always have such abilities.
Although this is Chen Yingxiong's last season, it is not something that anyone can take lightly!
Barcelona will pay a heavy price for despising Chen Yingxiong so much.
Now he feels that Chen Yingxiong is right, Barcelona's memory is not very good. They have suffered losses from Chen Yingxiong more than once because of this approach. Why don't they remember it better... Because they planned to cooperate with Chen Yingxiong in "pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger", there was no sound from Liverpool anymore. .
Barcelona naturally understood this as "There is indeed a problem within Liverpool, so they were silent, and even Chen Yingxiong stopped. It can be seen that Chen Yingxiong really has no confidence in winning this game this time!" "
This is good news for Barcelona.
Everyone is beginning to look forward to the Camp Nou on May 25th, when it will be a great opportunity for Barcelona to avoid humiliation.
More than 80,000 Barcelona fans will be there to witness this great moment.
This will surely become a day that will go down in the history of FC Barcelona!
The new king ascends the throne, and the body of the old king falls at the feet of the new king, washing the throne with his blood in anticipation of the new king. (To be continued)! ~!
