Volume 1: Heroes Come and Go, People Pay Attention Chapter 141 The Dust Has Settled (Fifth Update, Please Vote for Me!)
It was already past nine when Chen Yingxiong left, and a full moon hung in the middle of the clear night sky. Dalglish came out to see Chen Yingxiong off, patted him on the shoulder and said: "I know the outside world is now overwhelmingly optimistic that you will win the Premier League Golden Boot. But I still want to remind you that you are only one goal ahead of Van Persie, hero."
Chen Yingxiong nodded: "Don't worry, boss. I have absolutely no reason to spit out the meat in my mouth."
Dalgliesh nodded: "Just don't underestimate the enemy."
After sending Chen Yingxiong away, Dalglish did not return to the house immediately. He looked up and saw the bright moon in the sky.
The weather is nice today.
This is his last game in Livestock. He is already 61 years old. If there were no accidents, he would have no chance to coach Liwubu.
Of course, you don't necessarily have to be a coach to return to Liverpool. But as long as these two Chinese are here, he will never choose to come back. Even if these two people really bring Liverpool back to the top in the future, he will not come back.
This is about dignity.
He can praise Liverpool's performance in newspapers, but he will never return to the club, no matter what position he holds.
Then his only hope can only be pinned on Chen Yingxiong. If Chen Yingxiong leaves the team after a few years, he will probably be very helpless. Because it has been proven that Liverpool still has no ability to retain talents, today's Liverpool has almost become a springboard for talented players to transfer to wealthy teams.
This is definitely depraved.
But he no longer has the ability to change all this. All he could do was cheer Chen Yingxiong.
The hope of Liverpool's revival lies entirely with this arrogant boy...
Hope he won't disappoint himself.

On May 13, the final round of the Premier League whistled at the same time.
The competition for the championship, the competition for the top scorer, and the competition for Champions League qualification all entered the final climax at this moment.
What Chinese fans are most concerned about is the competition for the top scorer.
Liverpool faces Swansea away from home, a team ranked in the middle of the table.
Fifteen minutes into the game, after the commentator introduced the starting lineups of both sides, he began to discuss the battle for the top scorer.
Chen Yingxiong and Van Persie are both excellent. Chen Yingxiong is currently one goal ahead of Van Persie. The gap is very small, but everyone is very optimistic about Chen Yingxiong. This is related to Chen Yingxiong's previous brilliant record.
Since everyone is so optimistic about him, how can Chen Yingxiong let everyone down? The kind of thing where people had high hopes before the game, but performed poorly during the game, disappointing everyone, will never happen to Chen Yingxiong.
The commentator hasn't finished telling the story of the competition between Chen Yingxiong and Van Persie this season, and Livebu has already scored first.
The player who scored the goal was Chen Yingxiong!
"Although the suspense has almost disappeared, the hero still scored his 37th goal of the season! This goal completely disappeared the suspense!" the commentator shouted.
"Hero! Hero! Hero...Hero! What can we say? Facing such an outstanding center, what can we say? It's amazing! In thirty-eight league games in a season, he scored Thirty-seven, goals!”
After scoring the goal, Chen Yingxiong waved his fist vigorously, like a boxer hitting sandbags crazily.
Yes, you have eaten all the fat in your mouth, and you still want me to spit it out? Unless the world ends, don’t even think about it!
After Chen Yingxiong waved his fist, he looked up to the sky and roared.
And his teammates rushed up and surrounded him.
Swansea's players were a little helpless. They are playing this game at home, but why do they feel that they are supporting characters from before the game starts?
"The hero doesn't need to care whether Van Persie scores a goal. Now he just needs to keep running forward! Because he is the leader!"
The commentators from China are the most excited, and Chen Yingxiong is the source of their passion. In the past, Chinese commentators were always criticized for lack of passion, but they felt aggrieved because they were talking about matches of foreign teams and were required to be objective and neutral. How can he be passionate even if he is not objective and neutral?
Well now, this problem no longer exists, and they can naturally be objective and neutral when commentating on other teams' games. It can be said that when Liverpool plays, there is no need to be objective and neutral. Even if Liverpool's opponents are wealthy teams with a large number of fans in China such as Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea, they can still wave their fists unscrupulously and passionately. You can shout over the ground: "The ball is scored!" "Good goal -!" "Long live the hero!!" without worrying about receiving protest calls from angry fans in the arena the next day.
Today, Chen Yingxiong is the common idol of all fans in China. Although his image off the court is not high, his performance on the court is worthy of all those who support him. Only he can bring some comfort and excitement to Chinese fans at this time.
Therefore, everyone supports Chen Yingxiong. Even if the commentator favors Chen Yingxiong when explaining the game, it is not a big deal. It is human nature. If we don’t support players from our own country, who else should we support?
※※※
When Chen Yingxiong and his teammates were celebrating the goal, the Liverpool fans in the stands cheered, which even suppressed the home team's Swansea fans.
It's not that the Liverpool fans were loud, but the Swansea fans didn't boo.
At this moment’ even rival fans remained quiet.
Many people are amazed ~ This Chen Yingxiong is so damn awesome, isn't he? Is he still a human being after all? How could he do it? Thirty-seven goals in thirty-eight league rounds!
Never in the history of the Premier League has anyone scored so many goals in one season. You must know that this was achieved when Chen Yingxiong was suspended for six games, which means that Chen Yingxiong's goal rate has exceeded one goal per game!
If he had not been suspended for six games, his final number of goals would have definitely exceeded 40!
What a terrifying person this is!
Swansea fans were horrified.
So there were only cheers from the visiting team Liverpool fans.
England's commentator also shook his head: "I feel sorry for Robin and Van Persie. His performance this season has been good enough, no, it is simply the best season of his career, but he encountered a Alien monsters…”
"Since we have Van Persie, why do we need Chen Yingxiong? Poor Dutch!"
"I think there should be no suspense about the best player and best foreign aid in the Premier League this season, right? The hero has only been here for one season and has already conquered everyone. Think about his coaching in the first two teams."...from Zenit St. Petersburg made its debut, and after just eleven league rounds, it conquered Russia from the beginning of its second season. It only took half a season for Naples to win the Serie A Golden Boot, thus beginning his three-year monopoly on the Serie A Golden Boot. I bet if he continues to stay in Naples, he will be able to continue to monopolize this honor. Now it is his turn to monopolize the Premier League Golden Boot. This is not good news for the Premier League strikers... ",
※※※
Chen Yingxiong scored a goal, and it doesn't matter whether Van Persie scores a goal or not. The competition for the top scorer suddenly lost its suspense.
Liverpool played Swansea away and Arsenal played West Bromwich Albion away. The number of people paying attention to these two games suddenly became smaller. Everyone turned to watch Manchester City play Queens Park Rangers at home and Manchester United played Sunderland away. Contest.
At this time, the competition for the league championship has reached its climax.

Wenger had known about Chen Yingxiong’s goal for a long time. He didn’t know if Van Persie had learned the news. He also wasn't going to tell Van Persie that the news was meaningless.
He no longer cares whether Van Persie can win the top scorer. He felt that the competition with Chen Yingxiong aroused Van Persie's fighting spirit and made him more mature. This is the best result.
Top scorer is just a false name, why should you care so much?
"Tell everyone, don't tell Robin about the hero's goal during halftime." He tilted his head and said to his assistant coach.
This is Arsenal's away game, so the big screen at home won't show the live broadcast of Chen Yingxiong's goals. As for whether the enthusiastic fans will tell Van Persie in any way, Wenger can't control it. He just hopes that nothing will interfere with Van Persie in the team.
※※※
Although Chen Yingxiong scored a goal for the team, his goal could not bring victory to the team. This is also what often happens to Liverpool and Chen Yingxiong this season. Chen Yingxiong works hard to score goals, but the team either draws or loses, which makes Chen Yingxiong feel helpless.
In the end, Liverpool was tied by Swansea in the away game. The score between the two sides was,:, level. Apart from Chen Yingxiong's goal, Liverpool did not score any other goals.
Swansea scored the equalizer goal in the second half. Then the two teams started to fight. After all, they had nothing to ask for, and Liverpool would definitely not be able to qualify for the Champions League. Swansea also had no worries about being relegated and had no hope of the European war.
The peaceful scene was maintained until the end.
On the other side, Robin van Persie also scored. He scored a record thirty-six goals this season, but still failed to win the top scorer. With this result, he is the top scorer in Serie A, Bundesliga and Ligue 1 this season, even in the Premier League. No, because he met a terrible Chen Yingxiong.
When the game ended, Van Persie's first reaction was to ask people off the court if Chen Yingxiong had scored a goal. During the halftime break, he asked his teammates and coaches. Because everyone had received Wenger's instructions in advance, what everyone said to Van Persie was: "He hasn't scored yet!"
This news made Van Persie work very hard in the second half, and he finally scored a goal.
If Chen Yingxiong does not score a goal in the entire game, then Van Persie's goal will allow him to tie with Chen Yingxiong to win the Premier League Golden Boot.
He can also be regarded as the first top scorer in his career.
Wenger didn't let anyone else tell Van Persie the truth. She felt it was better to do this in person.
He walked up directly and put his arm around Van Persie's shoulders: "Bad news, Robin. He scored.'"
After hearing this, Van Persie was stunned for a moment. But other than this moment, he showed no other emotions, and there was no trace of frustration or disappointment on his face.
He just asked: "How many got in?"
Wenger raised his index finger: "One.'"
"Just me?" Van Persie asked.
Wenger nodded. "Sorry, Robin...'"
Van Persie bit his lip and didn't say anything for a long time. Although he said that he tried to be as normal as possible, how could he let go of this kind of thing so easily? Especially when I lose the Golden Boot by one goal, I am always very unwilling. I ask myself repeatedly: If I had scored one more goal in a certain game, would the result have been completely different?
Wenger saw that Van Persie was silent and knew that he felt uncomfortable. So he stepped forward, hugged him, and said in his ear: "Although you are not a Golden Boot, Robin, you are a, Golden Boot-level player, and you are the best! This does not require a trophy. Come prove it.'"
Hearing Wenger's words, Van Persie raised his head again: "I told the boss, even if I lose this season, I still have next season.'"
Wenger heard what he said and patted his shoulder gently without saying anything.

The battle for top scorer between Chen Yingxiong and Robin van Persie has come to an end, and the battle for the Premier League title has also ended. In the end, both Manchester United and Manchester City won. Manchester United defeated their city rivals by two points and won their 20th English top league championship.
And after Manchester City had been in the lead for so long and invested so much money, they finally came up empty-handed and won no championship. This season's league championship belongs to Manchester United, the League Cup champion belongs to Liverpool, and the FA Cup champion belongs to Manchester United. It was Everton, who beat Chelsea in the final.
Chelsea also achieved a good result. They completed a comeback in the last round and came back fourth in the league, pushing Tottenham into fifth place. In this way, Chelsea will qualify for the Champions League qualifiers next season, while Tottenham will. Spurs can only sadly play in the Europa League, which is also the Europa League.
Liverpool will also return to Europe next season. They have qualified for the Europa League by winning the League Cup.
Chen Yingxiong will also return to Europe after a year away from the European stage. He will use this opportunity to announce his return.
Chen Yingxiong, who swept Barcelona and Messi in the Champions League last season, frightened many people and left for a year. I wonder if anyone missed him.
But he couldn't wait any longer.
For Chen Xing and Niang, who are sitting in the stadium box, next season will see Liverpool's full revival and rise, and large-scale purges and signings will gradually begin. This season has proven with facts that even if Liverpool has Chen Yingxiong, without outstanding teammates and the courage to start over again, this team still has no future.
In order for the Liverpool assets in their hands to increase in value, this team must win more championships.
It's a win-win thing.
Chen Xing stood up, looked at the Liverpool players who were bidding farewell to Dalglish one by one, and said to Niang next to him: "You don't have a holiday, Old Road. It's time for this empire to be fully rebuilt!"
Niang stretched his hands forward: "Tear it down first!"
"Then you don't know how many people will scold you, haha!",
Niang shrugged, looking indifferent. "The British are always too nostalgic, and the old is the best. But it doesn't work now. If they don't want to, there's nothing they can do. It's not their decision. I've tried a gentle approach, and it works. No way. Either tear it down and rebuild it, or die.'"
Chen Xing looked at the players on the field and said: "You talk about the old way, was it wrong for us to decide to buy Liverpool? This team is not as easy to make money as we thought... To make Liverpool rise, I myself I have no confidence, it’s too difficult..."
"When you say that, I think of the words of a hero.'" Niang laughed when he heard his old classmate complain.
"What?"
"Such a difficult thing—" Niang turned to look at Chen Xing and smiled. "I want to try."
