Volume 1: When a Hero Appears, People Pay Attention. Chapter 34: Isn’t It Just a Head-On Confrontation? Who Is Afraid of Whom! (150 Monthly Tickets for Extra Updates!)

Chapter 34 Isn’t it just a head-on confrontation? Who is afraid of whom! (150 monthly tickets plus more updates!)

Before this game, experts and bookmakers were optimistic about a draw between the two sides. In terms of overall strength, Liverpool is higher than Everton, especially since they have Chen Yingxiong. Chen Yingxiong has scored three goals in the last two games and is in very good condition. It's obviously picking up.

But Everton has home advantage. In local derbies, winning or losing cannot be simply judged based on strength comparison. Even a weak team will have a status bonus as long as it is playing at home. They may show 200% status and perform extraordinarily, which will defeat the stronger team than them. It is not unheard of for an opponent to pull him down...

Thinking about how strong Rijkaard's Barcelona was back then, they were still tied by Espanyol in the Barcelona derby. This draw ultimately caused them to lose the league championship throughout the season.

So Liverpool may not be able to beat Everton away from home.

It’s not just the pundits and odds that think so, but Everton fans too.

They are at home, so why should they lose to their mortal enemy?

As soon as the game started, they attacked the Liverpool players with boos. As long as Liverpool players get the ball, boos will ring out, and when Everton players get the ball, songs will ring out at Goodison Park to cheer for the home team.

To deal with Liverpool players, they have different methods for different people. When Carragher had the ball, they sang the Everton anthem. Because Carragher is the vice-captain of Liverpool and his family are Everton fans. The Everton fans’ actions are obviously to remind Carragher that as an Everton fan, you must consider us, Everton. Bar!

And when Chen Yingxiong got the ball, they shouted: "Silly guy! Silly guy! You are a 70 million stupid guy!"

Some fans were chanting: "Messi! Messi! Messi!" Obviously everyone knew that Chen Yingxiong and Messi had a bad relationship, so they chanted the name of their mortal enemy to stimulate Chen Yingxiong. However, they did so without consideration, because in many competitions, Messi was defeated by Chen Yingxiong. I'm afraid it won't be enough to stimulate the victors by using the names of their defeated generals...

Of course, it wasn't exciting anymore. After Chen Yingxiong's kick just missed, he still had a smile on his face, showing no signs of frustration or annoyance at all. He turned around and gave a thumbs up to Lucas who passed the ball to him, thanking him for the pass.

The commentator in England is also worried about whether Everton fans doing this will have an impact on Chen Yingxiong. After all, this is his first city derby - Chen Yingxiong has never experienced it whether at Zenit St. Petersburg or Naples. A taste of a city derby. Therefore, he is worried that this tense and hot atmosphere will interfere with Chen Yingxiong, leaving him at a loss and unable to perform to his normal level.

But he was obviously overly worried...

It must be noted that Liverpool's current tactics are very vague, and no one knows which tactics they want to play. Their wing strength is very weak, but it doesn't mean that they can't even make a cross, so Chen Yingxiong still has the opportunity to receive the cross from the wing, and then attack the goal with his head...

It's just that when Chen Yingxiong competes for a header, it's not as easy as in Naples. As long as he reaches the point and jumps up, it will be very simple.

Now it's hard to say whether he can find something, because he is still not familiar with the characteristics of Liverpool's crosses. In addition, his reputation for headers is already known to everyone on the earth, so his headers are guarded very strictly. In addition, the Premier League is a league that is good at heading the ball. Forwards are good at heading the ball, and the center backs must also be good at heading the ball.

Therefore, it is actually more difficult for Chen Yingxiong to header the ball than in Italy.

Italy's defenders are now not as good at personal defense as before, but their strong defensive tactics and cooperative fighting habits can make up for this shortcoming. But when they really needed to go one-on-one with Chen Yingxiong in the air, it was already too late...

The English defenders are relatively tough in this regard. If you pass the ball into the penalty area, I will compete with you for the top position!

Chen Yingxiong hadn't played this kind of head-on fighting style for a while. He used to do this often when he was in the Russian league. He dared to rush forward and header the ball even though there were two people separated. At that time, his body was often covered with bruises from frequent collisions.

At that time, he knew nothing except heading the ball, so no matter what situation or situation he faced, he could only jump up and fight in the air, no matter how many opponents there were or what they were like.

Later in Italy, he learned more offensive weapons, and his strategies and techniques changed. Naturally, there was no need for him to rush forward and fight with the opponent's defender so recklessly. Especially after learning how to run without the ball, he can always run to the right place, which is often a weak area of ​​the opponent's defense. Sometimes he doesn't even need to jump at full strength, and he can hit the ball with just one click. Door.

But this definitely does not mean that Chen Yingxiong no longer has the ability to fight a tough battle!

Chen Yingxiong made his fortune by relying on head-to-head confrontation. This is his magic weapon and he will not use it easily. But if someone wants to force him to take it out, then prepare to enjoy a bloody storm of killing!

Do you think I am weak and can be bullied?

That is the worst decision you have ever made in your life!

Suarez pulled to the wing and made a cross!

He actually didn't want to do this, but head coach Dalglish asked him to do it before the game. If he didn't pass a single pass, he might be seen. It's not good if the hostility is too obvious. Suarez just wants to compete with Chen Yingxiong for the core of the offense, and has no plans to completely fall out with Chen Yingxiong. So you have to do enough superficial work...

Of course, he didn't really want to assist Chen Yingxiong, so the quality and timing of this cross were very bad. Everyone even thought Suarez shouldn't have passed the ball, but he did...

At this time, Chen Yingxiong hadn't even had time to run in, and Suarez's pass was so close to the goal. I'm afraid Chen Yingxiong couldn't hit the football at all...

This is also Suarez's little calculation - coach, you asked me to pass the ball, and I did it, but you have seen how good my passing is, so... for the sake of the team's performance, you'd better not pass it. Let me pass it to him!

Chen Yingxiong didn't expect that Suarez could make so many calculations with a cross... All he saw was football and the chance to score. He wanted those Everton fans to know that irritating a bear will never end well. No!

Seeing Suarez pass the ball, he suddenly accelerated and rushed into the penalty area.

There was no careful judgment of where the landing point would be, not accurate to the centimeter, and there was no so-called running without the ball. He only has football in his eyes!

True to football, he made a straight line into Everton's penalty area. Then leap high!

The football has an outward arc, but it is not obvious. Generally speaking, it is closer to the goalkeeper.

If someone else were to top this ball, there is a 10% chance that they would miss the football.

But Chen Yingxiong has his own advantages and methods - he is 1.95 meters tall. This height can make up for the lack of distance!

Therefore, Chen Yingxiong did not run to the predetermined spot and then jump up and shake his head to attack the goal. Instead, he rushed forward while running, just like a plane taking off, with his head in front and feet behind, taking off from the runway. .

The boos coming from the stands at Goodison Park were like the roar of a supersonic plane taking off, and Chen Yingxiong shot straight into the sky like a sword!

The person in front of him is Everton's central defender Sylvain Distin (sylvain_distin). He is 1.91 meters tall and weighs 85 kilograms. He can be considered a strong central defender.

But what he faced was Chen Yingxiong, a bear!

Chen Yingxiong came over diagonally, his shoulder bumped into Distin's shoulder, knocking the opponent sideways. At the same time, Chen Yingxiong's head had already hit the football first! It was almost the same moment when he hit the ball and hit the ball. In fact, if a high-speed camera can capture this scene and replay it, everyone will find that Chen Yingxiong actually hit the ball first, but the time difference is too subtle. …

In short, Chen Yingxiong knocked Distin and hit the ball...

In the roar, the football flew into the net. Everton's goalkeeper Howard made a save, but the distance was too close, and Chen Yingxiong hit the ball very suddenly - no one thought he could hit the ball before!

So the American national goalkeeper made his move late. When the football flew into the goal and hit the net, he got up...

"goooooooooooal!! Beautiful header! Hero! He once again showed us his header ability!"

"The hero has scored in two consecutive league rounds! This is his third league goal in the new season!"

"Chen Yingxiong, who was bought for 70 million pounds, has been slow to score before. After scoring one, he quickly fell into a goal drought that lasted two games. But now, including the League Cup, he has scored in three consecutive games. A goal has been scored! Maybe the omnipotent hero is recovering? In this case, for Dalglish, this is really life-saving good news!"

※ ※ ※

In order to score this goal, Chen Yingxiong almost lost his entire center of gravity, so after scoring the football, he fell directly to the ground.

But that didn't stop him from looking up to see if the football had entered the goal.

When he saw the football was in the goal, he jumped up from the ground!

He opened his arms and ran towards Suarez who passed the ball to him - he didn't know that Suarez had a prejudice against him, otherwise he would definitely not have done this...

Someone passed the ball to him, so of course he has to thank them. This is also the reason why Chen Yingxiong can get along well in both teams, because he is very "reciprocal". No matter how famous he is, he is always grateful to his teammates who pass the ball to him. .

Amid the cheers of Liverpool fans and the boos of Everton fans, the two sharp knives on Liverpool's front line hugged each other...

But I'm going out for a walk soon, and I won't be back for an hour. I'm afraid that if the quantity is reached, I won't be able to update for a long time, and everyone is anxious to wait, so I just released it in advance...
