Volume 1: Heroes Come and Go, People Pay Attention Chapter 115: I Do It because It Is Difficult (First Update, Please Give Me a Guaranteed Monthly Ticket!)
Cabrera woke up the dreamer with something. When Chen Yingxiong heard her ask him, "Don't you want to try such a difficult thing?", he was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes suddenly lit up.
Whenever he encounters a very challenging goal, he will always say this: "I want to try such a difficult thing." Why has he forgotten it now?
Yes, I am Chen Yingxiong, not the header Chen Yingxiong. Could it be said that without heading the ball, he has nothing to do? If this is the case, it only means that I, Chen Yingxiong, am an unqualified center.
What was the purpose of all the off-the-ball movement, long-range shooting and free-kicks I had practiced so hard in those past days?
Is it just to make up the numbers?
He suddenly thought of what Dracula said not long after meeting him, and asked him if he wanted to be a real hero, or just a first-class center.
He answered without hesitation that he wanted to be a real hero.
Dracula told him that if his goal was to be a real hero, the abilities he had now were not enough. He still had a lot to improve. The task was arduous and the road ahead was long. But if he wants to choose an easy path and just wants to be a first-class center, then he can only header the ball. He doesn't need to practice anything. This is enough for him to break into European football. If you can do well, you might have the opportunity to go to a wealthy club, win a few championships, or even the Champions League, and then after your peak, you can continue to work for a team with poor performance. Finally, when you retire, you can go to West Asia or the United States to hunt for gold and earn a lot of money. The final touch of a career. In this way, he can be regarded as a legend of Chinese football.
After going through a lot of detours like this, after working on it for a long time, I am still just a first-class center. Without the header, nothing can be done!
That guy is really a failure!
Without heading the ball, can't I achieve anything?
So what if you don’t need to header the ball? I still have two tui!
It’s not like I haven’t practiced shooting with my feet. Don't you just think of yourself as an Ibrahimovic... Although being like Ibrahimovic is not something to be happy about, it is not difficult for you!
Okay, okay, since it’s so difficult, of course I have to try it!
After figuring this out, Chen Yingxiong suddenly felt a sense of clarity. Something that had been bothering him for a long time was revealed by his girlfriend with just one sentence.
It may be a bit exaggerated to describe the mood of this moment with "In an instant, flowers bloomed all over the world, the sun broke through the layers of dark clouds, pouring down from the sky, and the wind blew, bringing the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers", but Chen Yingxiong It’s really a joy.
He even suddenly felt that he was more awesome than before. What was awesome was not his strength, but his state of mind.
To put it in a very pretentious way, it means...yes, he has realized it!
Nothing in this world can stump me, Chen Yingxiong! What you have to do will definitely be done, no matter how many difficulties or obstacles there are, you must do it! Such a life is meaningful!
Abandoning his most proud offensive weapon seems to make himself weaker. But in fact, Chen Yingxiong felt that this was an opportunity to upgrade. If I could break through my previous stereotypes, I believe that I would really be able to roam freely in this world of football!
Okay, I'll have some fun!
After figuring this problem out, Chen Yingxiong's face lit up with joy. Now the person he should thank the most is his girlfriend Christine Cabrera.
He hugged Cabrera suddenly.
"You are my lucky lady, Christine!"
"Have you figured it out?" Christine Cabrera, who was held in his arms, asked.
Chen Yingxiong nodded.
"I figured it out. Of course I have to try such a difficult thing! I want them to know that I am the best in the world without heading the ball!"
Cabrera smiled, and then she saw Chen Yingxiong opened his mouth and approached.
"As a thank you...this is a thank you gift! Well..."
※※※
Dalgliesh thought about it all night, thinking about one thing - how to completely convince Chen Yingxiong to accept this arrangement. He has decided to modify his tactics. Currently, Liverpool's tactics mainly focus on Chen Yingxiong's head. There are many high balls passed from the wing, and the ball that is hit directly from the backcourt to the frontcourt is also aimed at Chen Yingxiong's head.
If you want to modify it, there must be a lot of things involved. It may even make the team a little confused and affect the team's performance. In fact, he can completely ignore Bruckner's words. Anyway, it is only a few months until the end of the league. When he is in office, he makes the most of Chen Yingxiong's header to help the team achieve a good result and allow himself to leave with dignity.
Then the problem was thrown to his successor and Chen Yingxiong.
This is the best approach after rational analysis. Because if heading the ball really puts Chen Yingxiong at risk of concussion, there is no rush for this first round of the league. It is impossible for Chen Yingxiong to play so many more games, and the brain damage will be greatly increased.
In fact, what Bruckner said is only a possibility. Although this possibility is supported by strong scientific basis and past cases, it does not necessarily mean that Chen Yingxiong will definitely do what he will do. World football is famous for heading the ball, and there are many players who often header the ball. It doesn’t mean that everyone will die a good death after retirement...
To put it bluntly, it is just a matter of probability, and the probability is not high.
But there is always a possibility. Dalglish has such a good relationship with Chen Yingxiong now, and he can't bear the thought that such a willful player will end up with Alzheimer's disease, or die young due to head disease... ...Besides, sometimes he really felt that Chen Yingxiong was really trying his best to score goals. What if one day he bumped into the goal post while competing with others for a header?
Coupled with the Mwamba incident, Dalglish was particularly sentimental during this period.
Life is too impermanent. Mwamba, who was so strong, healthy and lively before, suddenly collapsed on the court and said he couldn't do it anymore. He had just woken up and it was not known whether he could continue to play football in the future. If he couldn't, his wife and three-year-old child would have to rely on him to support him, which would still be a huge pressure.
There are many football players who look particularly strong, but are actually very fragile, and the probability of sudden death is higher for them.
This may have something to do with the fact that they always rely on their excellent bodies to go on a rampage. This further increases the burden on the body, which accumulates again and again, eventually leading to serious consequences.
Dalglish doesn't want Chen Yingxiong to reach this point. He always feels that if the hero is forced to leave, it will definitely be the biggest loss in world football today, even more than the departure of Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
For the sake of Chen Yingxiong and Liverpool, he has to persuade Chen Yingxiong to give up his style of play that continues to rely on headers. Although this will bring short-term disadvantages to Liverpool. But he believed that with Chen Yingxiong's talent, he would not be worse off than he is now even if he changes his path. Look at his free kicks - how long has it been since he started taking them after training? His free kicks are actually very good, and they are also very difficult leaf kicks and elevator kicks. What an amazing guy!
He devised many strategies, such as scolding him sternly with a straight face and asking him to find another way. Another example is that Akatsuki uses emotion and reason to tell him the dangers of insisting on heading the ball...or use both soft and hard tactics.
But he didn't expect that when he called Chen Yingxiong over alone, Chen Yingxiong's first words surprised him.
"I've thought about it, boss. I can use headers as little as possible. I won't use headers unless it's absolutely necessary."
"Eh?" Dalgliesh was stunned for a moment.
"Hey what?" Chen Yingxiong was also surprised. "Isn't this what you wanted?"
"Uh... I'm just curious, how did you figure it out in one night? When you left yesterday, you didn't look like such an easy person to talk to..."
Chen Yingxiong smiled: "Ha! Because I figured it out. My hero can't only score by header. I am the same hero with or without header. I will even be more powerful without header! Since If so, then there’s nothing to worry about.”
Dalglish was a little surprised and smiled after hearing Chen Yingxiong's explanation. "The fact that you have this idea shows that you are more mature than before, hero. I'm so happy to hear you say that." He suddenly stopped smiling and frowned: "But... you are the top scorer this season. , I’m afraid it’s going to be ruined, right?”
For ordinary people, they have just completed the most important choice and transition in their lives. The honor of being the best shooter is probably not a concern for the time being. The most important thing is to be able to make a smooth transition.
But Chen Yingxiong is not an ordinary person.
Chen Yingxiong spread his hands and shrugged: "How is that possible? Of course I will win the top scorer!"
His answer surprised Dalglish: "But your most important scoring weapon can no longer be used..."
"I just want them to know that even if Chen Yingxiong doesn't need to header, he can still win the top scorer!"
"This is too difficult..." Dalgliesh frowned and shook his head.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yingxiong laughed: "It's just because it's difficult that it's worth trying. I won't do it if it's not difficult! Hey! Well... Boss, if you say this, in the next games of this season, I didn’t even need to head to score the goal!”
He said firmly.
"This...don't force it, hero."
"Not forcing it, not forcing it at all!" Chen Yingxiong squeezed the knuckles of his fists with both hands and made a clicking sound. "Don't you think this is more interesting, boss? If it's just to compete for the top scorer, it would be too easy for me. Add some gimmicks or something, increase the difficulty, and it suddenly becomes interesting! "
Dalglish was speechless for this guy who never knew what "humility" was.
But isn’t that why Chen Yingxiong is where he is today?
A person who would never be intimidated because he was arrogant and would not shrink back, just rushed all the way, and many obstacles were broken through by him "accidentally"...! .
