Volume 1: Heroes Appear, People Pay Attention. Chapter 137: Invitation From Dalgliesh (Fourth Update, Please Vote for Me)

Chen Yingxiong scored two goals in the game against Chelsea, while Van Persie only scored one goal. The gap between the two sides has appeared. After the game, the media analyzed that Van Persie was out of luck. Because they all know how terrifying Chen Yingxiong's scoring ability is.

Back then, Messi couldn't even beat Chen Yingxiong, let alone Van Persie. Although Van Persie's performance this season is very good, there is still a gap compared with Messi.

This topic is quite depressing to talk about - is it true that no one can defeat Chen Yingxiong today?

At least in the Premier League, that's what it looks like.

After this round of the league, almost all reports and discussions in the media about the battle for top scorer were overwhelmingly in favor of Chen Yingxiong.

Except for die-hard Arsenal fans and Robin van Persie fans, no one believes that Van Persie can turn around.

The difference between one goal is actually not big, but it depends on who is leading in terms of the advantage of one goal...

If someone else, with Van Persie's ability, could complete the comeback in the last round, it would not be impossible.

But now the person in the lead is Chen Yingxiong, and the situation needs to be re-analyzed.

Van Persie probably won't be able to make a comeback.

What does Robin Persie think of these comments?

No one knew and he did not give interviews to the media.

Only Wenger knows what he is thinking, and now he is not worried about Van Persie at all. Because he knows that through the competition with Chen Yingxiong, Van Persie has completely matured.

Before the final round of the league, the suspense of the top scorer has lost its meaning. The three teams to be relegated have also been decided. Only the league title remains somewhat controversial. Manchester United leads Manchester City by two points. If Manchester United can defeat Sunderland in the final round, they can win the Premier League championship trophy. But Sunderland is not the kind of team that is easy to deal with, not to mention they are playing at home.

Manchester City's last round of matches was easier than Manchester United's. They were playing at home, and the opponent they faced was not very strong. They were West Bromwich Albion, who had no desires or desires.

Of course, there is still suspense in the competition for Champions League qualification. Chelsea will face Blackburn at home in the final round, and Tottenham Hotspur will face Fulham at home. The opponents are not very strong. If both teams win, then Chelsea will have to play in the Europa League next season.

The suspense of the last round of the league has nothing to do with Liverpool and Chen Yingxiong. For Chen Yingxiong who has experienced the hustle and bustle of the entire season, such a time is not common.

Reporters have already assumed that he won the top scorer, and he gave up a lot of space in the media.

The season was almost over, and he was enjoying a rare moment of leisure.

At this time, he received an invitation from head coach Dalglish.

"Are you free tonight? Come to my house as a guest?" Dalglish said to Chen Yingxiong after the training.

Chen Yingxiong was a little surprised - the head coach invited players to his home, which is not common nowadays. Anyway, he has been with the team for almost a season, and this is the first time that the head coach invites players to visit his home.

In the early days of the English team, those players who performed well would be invited by the head coach to his home and have afternoon tea as one of the rewards for their outstanding performance.

But at that time, players and coaches were very simple, and their spare time activities were not as rich as they are now. After all, there are very few winners in life like George Best.

Things are different now. Players have many things to deal with besides games and training, such as various commercial activities, product endorsements, and interviews. Their entertainment activities are many times more than they were in decades.

This means that players no longer have time to accept invitations to visit the head coach's home, and today's players do not like such things. Staying with the head coach will make them feel restricted and uncomfortable. This is like a student visiting a teacher's home, who is always a little cautious.

The head coach no longer thinks that inviting players to his home is an encouragement to them, so naturally no coach will invite players to his home now.

Therefore, Chen Yingxiong was surprised when he heard that the head coach invited him to his home.

"What, are you free?" Seeing that Chen Yingxiong did not answer immediately, Dalglish asked again.

Chen Yingxiong has nothing to do. In order to work hard to improve himself, he rarely goes to nightclubs. The current activity page of the Eat, Drink and Play Band is just for dinner. If anyone wants to go for other entertainment, then go, but Yingxiong doesn't Will follow. His excuse was to go home and talk on the phone to Cabrera.

Every time he said that, the Skrtel guys would make fun of him.

Chen Yingxiong didn't bother to argue with them whether he was really afraid of Cabrera. The most important thing was to clear the dungeon.

Apart from brushing copies, he had nothing else to do. But if someone else invites me, I might still refuse.

Dalgliesh was different. Dalgliesh was very interested in him. If he didn't go, he would be not giving Dalglish face. If he didn't give Dalglish face, he would break other people's hearts.

So Chen Yingxiong finally nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'm fine. Speaking of which, I haven't been to your house, boss."

Dalglish heard Chen Yingxiong agree, he smiled and nodded.

Dalglish lives in a wealthy area of ​​Liverpool, but it is an old wealthy area. The decoration style also has a hint of the 1970s and 1980s.

Dalgliesh and his wife Marina currently live in this small house.

"Kelly is a journalist now, she has a family and she's not here very often."

Dalgliesh said after introducing his wife to Chen Yingxiong.

Following Western understanding, Chen Yingxiong hugged Dalglish's wife Marina and gave him his own gift - a small handicraft from China. It was not worth much, but it was very beautiful. For Westerners, It has great lethality and attraction.

Marina really couldn't put it down.

Chen Yingxiong has many such small gifts at home. His father taught him that giving gifts is a good way to make friends in the team, so he prepared many small gifts with Chinese characteristics. It's not expensive, but it's very distinctive, which foreigners like very much.

Marina saw that the most popular star in the Liverpool team was so shameless and even gave her a gift, which deepened her affection for Chen Yingxiong.

British dinner preparations are very simple, and they don't prepare a sumptuous table like the Chinese. Although many people will talk about Scottish food, the British are really inferior to the Chinese.

But Chen Yingxiong didn't miss this meal either. He came as invited, but he didn't know why Dalglish invited him.

Dalgliesh actually wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with him.

At the dinner table, talk of Liverpool quickly became a theme.

"There is something I have to apologize to you for, Hero." Dalgliesh's words surprised Chen Yingxiong.

He didn't understand what the boss had to apologize to.

"I revealed your transfer plan in advance last season, but was taken advantage of, causing you to fall into a great deal of passivity. I'm sorry for this. I really didn't expect that my momentary excited aphasia would make you suffer so much." pressure."

Only then did Chen Yingxiong realize that the reason he dared to fight with those fans in Naples was because the old man in front of him was so outspoken...

But he never paid attention to it. It no longer matters who leaked the news first. He could understand Dalglish's excitement after knowing that he was going to join the team, which actually showed how much he valued himself.

He smiled and waved his hand: "This matter, hey, it's not worth mentioning. I actually enjoy going against those extreme fans...seeing them get so angry makes me feel particularly accomplished."

Dalgliesh smiled: "You... really fit your style..."

Indeed, it has only been one season since he came to Liverpool, and Chen Yingxiong has hardly been able to calm down. He bluntly said at the UEFA Ballon d'Or Award Ceremony that the trophy was too ugly, and then was suspended for six games for malicious retaliation against Richards. During the game, he was also involved in a scandal related to racial discrimination, and completely fell out with Manchester City fans. Then he caused a scene at the FIFA Ballon d'Or awards ceremony...

In short, he is always the focus of the media.

"However, I still hope that you can stop quarreling with the media. You always draw the firepower to yourself, and I'm afraid it will cause you some trouble. You know, there are always some crazy people in this world... …”

Chen Yingxiong nodded, seemingly accepting the coach's teachings. But in fact, Dalgliesh saw clearly that Chen Yingxiong was just perfunctory, and it was all for his own sake. If it were another person, they might refute it directly.

He didn't want to go too far on this topic. He invited Chen Yingxiong here mainly to explain his "future affairs."

He is coming to drive Liverpool, and the future of Liverpool can only be left in the hands of people like Chen Yingxiong.

He was still a little worried. His ideal captain template is actually Gerrard, who is tough, powerful, low-key and unassuming. Chen Yingxiong has the fighting spirit to never give up, but he is too high-profile and arrogant, and sometimes easily annoys people.

But this is a character issue. It is impossible for him to ask Chen Yingxiong to follow his own suggestions to correct this problem. Let alone whether Chen Yingxiong will listen to it, just saying that Chen Yingxiong has listened, it will not be able to change in a short time.

All he could do was tell him his experience and then hope that Chen Yingxiong would understand it on his own. As for whether Chen Yingxiong can understand it, that is his business and has nothing to do with Dalgliesh. Dalglish had done everything he could, but he couldn't determine the outcome.

During the meal, Dalglish kept telling Chen Yingxiong what happened when he was playing football, as well as the history of Liverpool and its glorious past.

He feels that the factor that determines how long Chen Yingxiong stays in Liverpool is Chen Yingxiong's feelings for Liverpool. However, Chen Yingxiong was not trained by Liverpool itself. Chen Yingxiong joined midway and lacked affection for this team. I know nothing about Liverpool's tradition.

If Chen Yingxiong was raised by Liverpool's youth training, Dalglish would not have spent so much effort, because he knew that as long as Liverpool was worthy of Chen Yingxiong, Chen Yingxiong would definitely be worthy of Liverpool.

Dalglish hopes to cultivate Chen Yingxiong's identification with this team through these glorious pasts of Liverpool, so that when Chen Yingxiong faces temptation in the future, he can give priority to Liverpool.

Chen Yingxiong didn't know the boss's intention at first. He just thought he was here to listen to the story. He really lacks understanding of the Liverpool team.

In chronological order, finally we come to this season’s League Cup.

What does the League Cup title have to do with Liverpool's tradition? There really is.

"...This championship is very important to Liverpool. You know, hero. The new generation of Liverpool fans have another episode worth remembering. The tradition of Liverpool is made up of one episode after another. Every generation of Liverpool fans must It needs to be memory fragments worthy of their recollection. Since that night in Istanbul in 2005, we have been lacking a memory that can make the fans proud. But winning the League Cup changed everything, and we have rediscovered the memory that belongs to Liverpool. tradition of……"

Chen Yingxiong had different opinions on Dalglish's statement: "I don't think so, boss."

Dalglish was surprised to be interrupted by Chen Yingxiong and raised objections. He looked at Chen Yingxiong in surprise.

"Why?"

Chen Yingxiong explained: "Just a League Cup championship is regarded as a beautiful memory worth cherishing by this generation of Liverpool fans. I think...well, it is too unrestrained, right?"

He still despises the League Cup championship from the bottom of his heart.

"Why do you think so, hero?" Dalglish heard Chen Yingxiong belittle Liverpool's tradition,

But he was not angry because he always felt that Chen Yingxiong had something to say.

Sure enough, Chen Yingxiong said seriously and matter-of-factly: "Isn't the Champions League more worthy of being treasured than the League Cup?"

Dalglish spread his hands: "The problem is that the Champions League is more difficult to play than the League Cup. It is not so easy to collect these beautiful memory fragments."

Chen Yingxiong laughed: "I will definitely try such a difficult thing!"

Dalgliesh was moved, but he didn't show it. He suddenly felt that he might not have to worry too much about Liverpool's future...
