The League Cup final is over, and many Liverpool people are still immersed in the excitement. Liverpool and other cities are celebrating all night long.

The Liverpool players also had a good time after returning to the hotel.

Dalglish did not stop them. Although the league was still going on, for Liverpool, winning such a championship in six years really should be celebrated.

For this championship, Chen Yingxiong himself is not as happy as his teammates. Deep down in his heart, he still doesn't think highly of the League Cup.

What he cares more about is his own reward!

A skill, a talent, and a smart version of Dalglish!

This reward is really generous!

But he was always with his teammates, so he couldn't disappear into thin air and go to the dungeon to verify his mission rewards.

He could only endure it.

After the whole team returned home with the League Cup glory, he returned to his home and had the opportunity to look at the mission rewards.

Now the progress of completing my character is verified on my notebook.

All the characters related to this final are completed and he gets a lot of experience and various rewards.

Of course, those additional rewards are also included.

"The King's back", and "The King's ball-handling skills".

These are the two rewards Chen Yingxiong wants most.

He doesn't care about any other experience or reputation.

After confirming that he had received the mission reward, he exited the website and entered the virtual copy space directly through meditation.

As soon as he opened his eyes, Dalglish stood in front of him, but he was much younger than the Dalglish that Chen Yingxiong was familiar with.

"We meet again, hero." His first words startled Chen Yingxiong, thinking it was the Dalglish outside...

But he quickly realized that his relationship and feelings with this person in reality would affect how he felt about the virtual mission.

He has a very good relationship with Dalglish in reality, so the Dalglish generated in the virtual world will have a good relationship with him, and sometimes he will say such intimate words. Maybe there will be some thinking patterns of real people, that’s normal too…

For example, in real life Maradona and he dislike each other, but in this copy Maradona always sneers at Chen Yingxiong.

However, Chen Yingxiong now finds that it is also fun to bicker with Maradona in the dungeon.

"Hi, boss..." Chen Yingxiong regretted it as soon as he said it. He was used to it, but in fact, he didn't need to call him like that here...

Sure enough, Dalglish laughed: "I'm not your boss now. You can call me Kenny. I'm not much older than you."

"Okay, Kenny..." It was the first time that Chen Yingxiong called his boss this way, and Chen Yingxiong was still not used to it.

But he couldn't care about so much now. He couldn't wait to verify whether his newly learned skills were really useful.

He called Maldini over and asked him to defend him closely, while he turned his back to the goal.

He wanted to test Dalglish's back-up ball skills and challenge Maldini.

The effect was quite good. With Maldini behind him, it was basically impossible to intercept the ball from Chen Yingxiong's feet without fouling.

When he was about to go around to defend, Chen Yingxiong seized the opportunity to break through to the other side and completed his turn.

Chen Yingxiong shot the football into the unguarded goal, and then waved to Maldini: "Let's do it again!"

How is it enough to only experiment once? The results obtained are not scientific either. What if it was a fluke? Of course you have to try it a few times.

He ended up verifying with Maldini ten times, and eight of them successfully got rid of Maldini's defense and formed a shot. Maldini saw through it twice and stopped him.

After completing ten trials, he stood there and reflected on what he had just felt.

He had never seen what Dalglish's back-up ball control skills should be like, but when he turned his back to Maldini and controlled the ball at his feet, he was full of confidence, thinking that even if Maldini was behind him, he would be able to control the ball with his back. It is impossible to easily break the ball at your feet, and the actual result is the same.

He doesn't know how to use it, but his body has automatically used it. No matter what kind of escape or ball protection, he can do it with ease.

In addition, he also found that the two talents of "the king's back" and "the king's ball-handling skills" are integrated. If the ball-handling skills are good, the success rate of holding the ball behind the back will be high.

Because holding the ball with your back requires high ball control skills, otherwise you can only use your body to protect the football. Even if you get rid of the opponent, you still use your physical advantage. Just like he did before. In the past, Chen Yingxiong used his body to protect the football, and then used his physical advantage to forcefully turn around and break through.

The disadvantage of this is that the method is too simple and can be easily seen through. If someone is more cunning, they will scream and fall to the ground while you are exerting your strength. You may be sentenced to a foul and lose possession of the ball. Giving up - this happens often. When Chen Yingxiong's body is too dominant, it in turn becomes a disadvantage for him. You must know that not all central defenders who look tall and powerful are pure men who are willing to fight him to the end...

In this way, Chen Yingxiong's lack of finesse in his feet has become a weakness. He cannot use his back to control the ball to score the opponent's goal. Many times he can only choose to pass the football to his teammates.

Now it's completely different. With Dalglish's back-up ball control skills, he can no longer just use his body to control the ball. Especially when turning around to get rid of the ball, the skills at his feet are definitely more important and more effective than the body.

He and Maldini were duel ten times just now, and he never used his body to force a breakthrough. He always used his foot skills and upper body fake movements to shake off Maldini.

You know, he has been one-on-one with Maldini for several years, and he is very clear about Maldini's defensive ability. There is no way he can win eight out of ten post-ups...

The rewards for this mission are so powerful!

Chen Yingxiong sighed in his heart.

"You seem to be getting stronger again, hero." Maldini also noticed something.

Dalglish laughed from the side: "You inherited my mantle, hero."

Chen Yingxiong chuckled: "I am not 'King Kenny'."

"Sooner or later you will be," Dalglish said with a smile.

Chen Yingxiong was stunned for a moment. The virtual Dalgliesh in front of him felt like the real Dalgliesh when he said this...

Do they all want me to stay at Liverpool as long as possible?

※ ※ ※

After winning the League Cup, Liverpool's morale was high. Next, they face a tough match against Arsenal at home, and they are much more confident.

Arsenal are equally confident.

They had just reversed a 5-2 victory over Tottenham in the north London derby, dealing a blow to their mortal enemy.

This game gave Arsenal endless courage.

In the first half of the league, life was difficult for Arsenal. They lost their team captain and tactical core Cesc Fabregas this summer. In addition, their Nasri was poached by Manchester City. In the league, they were defeated by Manchester United 2:8 in an away game, which shocked the world...

However, after the second half of the season, they gradually recovered. This game against Tottenham is very illustrative.

Even though they were two goals behind, they were still able to catch up and finally beat Tottenham 5:2.

With this kind of remaining power, they came to Anfield Stadium.

Liverpool had just won the League Cup. The morale of the whole team was high. They were playing at home again. They were bound to win Arsenal.

When two strong men meet, one of them will be injured.

Liverpool's home game against Arsenal is also the focus of media attention. The competition between these two teams is still secondary, mainly the direct dialogue between the two shooters.

As of the 26th round of the league, the top scorer is Arsenal forward Robin Van Persie, who has scored 23 goals.

Ranked second is Liverpool's Chen Yingxiong, who scored 19 goals.

Although Liverpool's league ranking has not moved for a long time, Chen Yingxiong has a strong momentum in the league's scorer rankings. He has been fighting all the way up, successively defeating Aguero and Rooney, and is currently four points behind Van Persie. The gap is not difficult for Chen Yingxiong.

Van Persie debuted very early and became famous very early. He was already a genius when he was in the Netherlands. Later, he moved to Arsenal, but his performance was never very stable. He was often troubled by injuries and had good times and bad times. No one denies his talent, but he always falls short of the real superstars.

He had never scored more than 20 league goals in his previous seasons at Arsenal.

This season, after losing the support of Cesc Fabregas, Van Persie suddenly broke out. Not only was he in excellent form, but he was also rarely injured. This ensures that he can score so many goals.

Many people feel that Van Persie has finally waited for his harvest season after enduring it for so long.

At this time, he met Chen Yingxiong.

In fact, when Chen Yingxiong first moved to Liverpool, his performance was not very eye-catching, and he was not very convincing. In the first half of the season, they only scored eight goals in thirteen league rounds. Ranked seventh in the scorer list, and at that time Van Persie had already scored 13 goals.

If this data were placed on an ordinary forward, it would be a relatively good result. But who told Chen Yingxiong to transfer to Liverpool for 70 million pounds? He only scored eight goals for such a high price. This can’t be justified, right?

Coupled with being suspended for another six games, many people felt that Chen Yingxiong had no chance to compete for the top scorer.

You must know that since his debut, except for the first season where he had no chance to win the top scorer due to too few playing opportunities, he has been able to win the top scorer every season...

No one thinks that Chen Yingxiong will become Van Persie's competitor.

But just after he ended his suspension, he began a breakout journey, scoring 11 goals in seven games, jumping from eighth to second in the scorer list, directly threatening Van Persie's position.

Van Persie is in good condition, and Chen Yingxiong has also woken up from hibernation.

The battle between the two shooters has just begun.
