Chapter 73: Battle against Manchester City again (first update, please vote for me!)
Chen Yingxiong initially thought that his fourth captain was just a name.
But in the subsequent training, he found that the three captains took good care of him, and when they did something as captains, they must take him with them. Although he doesn't need any help at all...
On January 3, when Liverpool challenged Manchester City away from home, he even wore the captain's armband!
※ ※ ※
The media were particularly excited before Liverpool's away game against Manchester City. Because there is so much to talk about in this clash between these two teams.
Needless to say, the relationship between Chen Yingxiong and Balotelli. After the last match, many people doubted whether Balotelli was an undercover agent. Not long after Chen Yingxiong was sent out, he also took the initiative to apply for a red card after playing. Don't take advantage of Chen Yingxiong.
What makes people more interested is the matter between Chen Yingxiong and Richards. There was a lot of uproar in the city at first, although it later turned out that Richards had framed Chen Yingxiong. But Manchester City fans don't care so much. They only know that Chen Yingxiong injured Richards with a shovel, and now they want to take him to court. This is simply too bullying! They don't care whether justice and morality are on Chen Yingxiong's side. They help relatives but not others. This is a typical characteristic of fans. Regardless of whether my player does the right thing or not, I just want to support him.
Some Manchester City fans have already called on everyone to put more pressure on Chen Yingxiong during the game. But how to put more pressure on Chen Yingxiong? This is something that Manchester City fans should think carefully about.
Bigger boos?
Manchester City's last game was an away game, and not many fans followed the team to Anfield. On the court, their momentum was basically suppressed by the Liverpool fans. Returning to their home stadium this time, Manchester City fans are determined to let Chen Yingxiong enjoy a storm of boos at the Etihad Stadium.
Besides the boos?
Maybe there are other tricks.
In short, Chen Yingxiong becomes the target of public criticism in the away game and cannot escape.
Manchester City fans hate Chen Yingxiong so much, but Dalglish arranged for Chen Yingxiong to wear the captain's armband during the game. This may be a reflection of his own and the entire Liverpool team's support for Chen Yingxiong in the confrontation with Richards. .
You must know that although vice-captain Carragher was a substitute in this game, third captain Reina was the starter. It was not Chen Yingxiong's turn to wear the captain's armband.
But Renner didn't object. Because everyone has agreed on this before.
So when Chen Yingxiong wore the captain's armband and led his teammates out of the tunnel, the entire Etihad Stadium burst into deafening boos!
"Welcome to Manchester City territory, you idiot!"
"You're going to die ugly, bastard! I promise!"
"You can't be proud for much longer! You racist!"
"Go back to your hometown, yellow-skinned monkey! Monkeys are not welcome in England!"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Do you want some bananas? I have lots and lots of them here!"
All kinds of curses were mixed in with the boos. As a recent hot event, racist remarks are naturally among them.
Chen Yingxiong turned a blind eye, held his head high, led his teammates onto the court, and dismissed the boos and swear words as nothing.
The boos were so sudden and loud that many people were startled. Other Liverpool players couldn't help but look up into the stands. They saw many Manchester City fans with ferocious faces raising their middle fingers.
Many people suddenly felt that this game might be difficult to play...
Carragher, who was sitting on the bench, recalled what Gerrard once said to him, so he is now paying close attention to everyone's performance.
After hearing the boos and seeing the crazy fans, many Liverpool players looked surprised and worried.
This made Carragher frown.
Stephen is right, this Liverpool is no longer the Red Army that swept across Europe and shocked England.
After five consecutive years without a championship, Liverpool has long lost its spirit.
I'm afraid of even being booed like this...
He saw Chen Yingxiong's expression again. The man held his head high and walked at the front of the team. He was wearing the captain's armband and holding the ball boy wearing the opponent's jersey. He did not respond to the boos. .
Even if he had some prejudice against Chen Yingxiong before, now he has to admit that this kind of hero looks a bit like the captain of Liverpool...
The enemy then hates you, and the more he attacks you, the higher your head will be held high.
This is the temperament of a wealthy family with a century-old glorious history!
Before moving to Liverpool, Chen Yingxiong had never played for a wealthy club. Naples was a grassroots team, and Zenit St. Petersburg's history was not very good. But why does this person's temperament fit so well with Liverpool's temperament?
Carragher didn't understand.
※ ※ ※
The boos from the Manchester City fans did not scare Chen Yingxiong, but they frightened the other Liverpool players first. In addition, Manchester City's current strength is indeed much higher than that of Liverpool.
So ten minutes into the game, Liverpool conceded the goal.
Aguero opened the scoring for the team.
The Manchester City fans at the scene cheered, and the entire Etihad Stadium was filled with crazy shouts.
Manchester City has always been a mid-to-lower team. Even with the capital injections of former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra and the Middle East consortium in recent years, it still cannot get rid of its "nouveau riche" temperament. They once wanted to spend 100 million euros to buy Kaká, who was still in AC Milan at the time. This price had already made the Milan club surrender, but because they had no historical background and were an upstart team, Kaká had no intention of buying him. Hesitantly declined.
Therefore, Manchester City fans have always been obsessed with their identity. This season, the team's performance has made a qualitative leap. In the league, it defeated its local rival Manchester United and temporarily ranked first in the standings. It defeated Manchester United 6:1 away in the local derby. This performance made the fans shout. Enjoyable.
How can an upstart team take off its hat? Keep winning and winning championships is the only way. But competing for the championship is a long journey after all.
Another way to make Manchester City fans feel proud is to continuously defeat those wealthy teams that usually stand above them in the game. At the beginning, the fans of the wealthy clubs looked at them with the corner of their eyes and made no secret of their disdain for the upstart Manchester City. Manchester City fans have been holding back their anger for a long time, so if they can defeat the traditional giants, they can let out a bad breath!
In their previous visit to Anfield, the two sides drew 1:1, and Manchester City fans felt that they were not enjoying themselves.
This time, they returned to their home court. If they still couldn't win against Liverpool, they would never agree!
So they will be so happy after seeing Aguero give the team the lead just ten minutes into the game.
"Manchester City is really strong now... they have scored 54 goals, ranking first in the Premier League. They have conceded 16 goals, the fewest in the Premier League, and they rank first in the Premier League in points. They have too many excellent players in the team, and they don't want to win. It’s hard... After their unexpected exit from the Champions League group stage, I’m afraid no one can stop them from winning the Premier League this season!”
"Aguero scored his 14th goal this season! His current ranking on the scorer list has risen to second place! This is his first season joining Manchester City, and it only took him half a season. Conquered Manchester City fans!"
The commentators praised Manchester City and Aguero.
Liverpool's life seems to be even more difficult.

Chen Yingxiong was constantly encouraging his teammates: "There's nothing to worry about! Let's equalize the score! Isn't it just about scoring goals? I'm the best at it!"
His words were as arrogant as ever, and he might not be very popular in normal times, but at this time, his words gave his teammates some confidence.
Because Chen Yingxiong is really good at scoring goals... and Liverpool really needs his goals now.
What Chen Yingxiong said was not a bluff, he really wanted to fight with Manchester City.
The boos rang out when he came on the court, and they booed when he took the ball on the court. He came out with his head held high, and he passed, caught, and shot as usual, but that didn't mean that he didn't hear the boos, and it didn't mean that he didn't react at all in his heart.
His heart was like a nuclear reactor, burning at high temperatures. The pressure rose sharply during this high-temperature combustion, and it could explode at any time.
What better way to answer those bitches than with a goal!
Carragher looked at Chen Yingxiong pulling his teammates and roaring loudly, and nodded on the bench.
Although I have only been a captain for a week, I really look like a captain...

Before kick-off, Chen Yingxiong found Adam Johnson.
"Pass the ball to me, whether it's a cross from the wing or a through ball, Adam!" Chen Yingxiong realized the power of his talent "because of friendship" in the last game, and now he is betting on This talent is the best choice.
Johnson nodded: "No problem, hero. As long as the opportunity is right, I will pass it to you..."
But Chen Yingxiong shook his head and interrupted him: "When the opportunity is not good, pass it to me!"
"Eh?" Adam Johnson was stunned. What do you do if a bad opportunity comes to you? Isn't this a waste of offensive opportunities?
Looking at Johnson with a suspicious look on his face, Chen Yingxiong didn't know what to say. He couldn't possibly tell him that because I have a talent, I can have a 10% assist success rate bonus for the passes passed to me by my good friends. Bar?
He could only grab Adam Johnson's arm: "We are friends, right, Adam?"
Adam Johnson didn't know why, so he could only nod.
"Do you trust me? Do you trust your friends?"
Adam Johnson nodded again, but then he realized that... that's not what he said! "But, hero..."
Chen Yingxiong interrupted him again: "Just give me the ball if you believe me. I won't let you down! You also want to get a few more assists, right?"
Adam Johnson finally nodded.
"I believe in you, hero."
Chen Yingxiong gave him a confident smile, turned around and ran back to the center circle.
Kuyt was waiting for him to kick off the ball.
"What did you say to Adam, hero?"
"I told him to trust his friends on the court," the hero said with a smile.
This answer confused Kuyt.
However, Chen Yingxiong didn't intend to explain further. He stepped on the football under his feet and pulled it back and forth. "Kick off, Dirk. They are still waiting for us to score!" he said, pointing to the opposite Manchester City goal.
