Volume 1: When Heroes Come and Go, People Pay Attention. Chapter 14 The Hero’s Philosophy of Treating Others (Second Update, Please Vote for Me!)
Chapter 14
A hero's philosophy of treating others (second update, please vote for me!)
On the way back to his home, Chen Yingxiong was still thinking about this conversation with Martin O'Neill. This is the first time he communicates with the head coach alone.
He has somewhat changed his view on Martin O'Neill and thinks that the new head coach is quite good. At least he is very knowledgeable and believes in my ability, although he still underestimates my ability...
Chen Yingxiong's principle of judging whether he likes or dislikes a person is really simple.
As long as that person is nice to him, he doesn't hate the other person and he will be nice to the other person. Even if this flattery is only superficial. But people are separated from each other, so who can know what the other person is thinking? You can't treat everyone who is close to you and has a good relationship with you as someone with ulterior motives and malicious intentions, right? How can you make friends in this case? If you always live with the mentality of being wary of others, your life will be too tiring. This is not the attitude to life that Chen Yingxiong pursues. His attitude is "gratitude and enmity". Not only does he want revenge and slap people, there is also a "grace" in it.
Some people say that Chen Yingxiong treated Suarez like a second-hand man, but how could Chen Yingxiong know what Suarez was thinking? Suarez concealed it quite well at the beginning, never letting Chen Yingxiong feel that he was hostile to him, and Suarez's attitude continued to change later. From enemy to good friend cannot be completed overnight. He would be nice to others when others were nice to him. In the end, Suarez was moved, causing Suarez to be sincerely nice to Chen Yingxiong, and the two became good friends. Wouldn't it be nice to have such a happy outcome?
If someone really has an agenda and deliberately gets close to Chen Yingxiong with malicious intentions, Chen Yingxiong is not a fool. If he finds out, then the other person will definitely... die miserably.
Just like he did against Richards, poor Richards eventually lost the case, but considering that he was a Premier League player, he was not sentenced to jail, but was fined to do 250 hours of community volunteering. Other media outlets that were involved in this incident and spread slanderous rumors and made noises were also sentenced to lose the lawsuit. They were ordered to compensate Chen Yingxiong for various mental damages and were required to publish an apology statement in a prominent position for half a month.
Chen Yingxiong fully fulfilled what he said before and beat the drowned dog hard.
Why does he have a good relationship with Dalglish? Because Dalglish supported him. He wanted to take leave to go to Italy, but Dalglish did not use team rules to stop him. He was besieged by the media, and Dalglish helped him speak. , after he maliciously retaliated against Richards, Dalglish also told him how to do it at the lowest cost - you have such a head coach, how can you have a bad relationship with him? If it's not good, it must be your own problem.
Now after Martin O'Neill and Chen Yingxiong had an interview, Chen Yingxiong felt Martin O'Neill's kindness, appreciation and support for him. Naturally, he couldn't hate the other person in his heart.
Although I still don't like him as much as I do for Dalglish, I don't hate him anymore. This in itself is a great improvement.
You must know that this is the result that Martin O'Neill was pursuing in the first place. If O'Neill could understand Chen Yingxiong's heart, he would probably be able to laugh now.
But to truly gain Chen Yingxiong's support, Martin O'Neill has to do more.
In fact, it is very simple to have a good relationship with Chen Yingxiong. Treat him as a friend. When he needs help, you help him. Even if your help may be insignificant, she will remember your kindness and continue to help you... …

Martin O'Neill noticed the next day that Chen Yingxiong's attitude had changed. At least it was not as businesslike as before. He was expressionless towards him, as if it was a silent protest.
Now, the expression on the person's face has changed, and he will smile when greeting him.
Martin O'Neill is satisfied now, and his work is much easier.
Preparations for the new season have been in full swing. Liverpool has the Europa League this season, which means they are fighting on multiple fronts, so they are bound to be distracted. This is his plan - in the European war, he must at least reach the knockout stage. Otherwise, the powerful Liverpool team would be eliminated in the group stage and go home. It would be too shameful to go back home, right? Wait until the knockout rounds, and then look at the opponent and the team's situation to decide how far to go.
The main focus is still on the domestic league. It's just a Europa League, not the Champions League, so it's not worth fighting for. The league is still fundamental. Martin O'Neill would never think how happy his boss Chen Xing would be if he lost the qualification for the Champions League after he worked so hard to help the team win the Europa League championship trophy.
As long as a wealthy team like Liverpool cannot participate in the Champions League, it is a failure. Even if it wins ten consecutive Europa League titles, it is meaningless.
To revive the glory of a giant, you can't do it by showing off your prestige in the first-level Europa League... Of course, if there is a cheap opportunity to show off your prestige, for example, the team performs well in the league and enters the Europa League. finals, then Martin O'Neill still doesn't mind showing off his power.
But the prerequisite for all this still depends on Liverpool's performance in the league. The top four in the league is the bottom line, and the Europa League is just an added bonus.
When a head coach wants to prepare for a season, he always has to set a big goal and path first. Only after he has formulated it will he know what he should do when preparing for the game.
In addition to big goals, there are many small goals. For example, what effect do I want the team to achieve in the first month of pre-season, what state it should achieve in the second month, and what performance it should have in the first month of the league...
These things are very complicated, otherwise why would the head coach bother so much? Everyone is aging prematurely, what about old age?
The general direction set by Martin O'Neill for Liverpool is to focus on the domestic league, fourth in the bottom league, and supplemented by the Europa League.
But before January, the team needs to expend a lot of energy on two fronts - in the League Cup, he does not intend to be like Dalglish at all costs.
He doesn't have League Cup paranoia.
Since a lot of energy needs to be expended on both fronts, it is necessary to reserve enough physical fitness for this half season.
Therefore, the team trains heavily before the season.
Players with good physical fitness like Chen Yingxiong are naturally not afraid, but those players with poor physical fitness are embarrassed. And now that he is a new head coach, no one wants to leave a bad impression on the new head coach. Naturally, no matter how hard and tired he is, he must grit his teeth and persevere.
After changing the head coach for a while, the atmosphere in the team turned out to be somewhat positive and full of life.
Of course, as a new head coach, everyone wants to leave a good impression on him. As time goes by, who knows what will happen. This is also one of the reasons why many teams "change coaches like changing swords."
Isn't that what Dalglish was doing when he was in danger and helped Liverpool successfully avoid relegation for half a season? When the club signed Dalglish that summer, the media and fans were still cheering. Liverpool was finally going to give birth to another legend in the hands of a legend.
As a result, in just half a season, Dalglish's level was exposed, which directly made everyone's hearts drop to freezing point.
Now that Martin O'Neill has just taken office, many people have already begun to speculate when he will be dismissed - it's not that they don't believe in O'Neill's level, they don't believe in the Liverpool players.
The only trustworthy people are Gerrard and Chen Yingxiong. Unfortunately, Gerrard has almost become a glass man, and he will be cautious even if he comes back now. Moreover, Martin O'Neill also specifically stipulated that the players are not allowed to tackle the ball from Gerrard's feet during training, just for fear of getting injured during training, so he really can only cry.
This period of time is very important for Gerrard. Frequent injuries will not only destroy the Liverpool captain's body, but also his spirit. A player is already at the end of his career and is frequently injured. What if he becomes discouraged and retires early?
Such a possibility should naturally be avoided.
Chen Yingxiong is the most reassuring guy - if you put aside his temper.
He also scored frequently in the warm-up matches, showing his good condition.
And he adapted very quickly to the team's ground-forward play.
In the warm-up match, he didn't score a single header. He scored all goals with shots from his feet. Occasionally, there were some headers, which were not shots, but challenges for the top outside the penalty area. At the end of last season, he even scored with a header. There was not a single duel for the top. This was because he vowed not to use a header in the battle with Van Persie for the top scorer. Naturally, the use of the head is completely prohibited.
Now that we have defeated Van Persie, there is no need to be so harsh on ourselves. It is completely abnormal not to allow a header. Even the doctor didn't tell Chen Yingxiong not to use headers at all. He just said that he should use them as little as possible and bring it down to normal levels. The previous Chen Yingxiong was really too dependent on headers, and many of his headers were completely head-on, so the chance of injury was really high.
Now, let’s return to the normal level first, mainly using the feet, supplemented by the head.
The sign that Chen Yingxiong is in good condition is that he can score goals, and no one will care whether he scores with his head or feet.
Now that Chen Yingxiong is very good at scoring goals, it shows that he is in good condition.
Martin O'Neill was half relieved.
Next, it depends on the status of other players.
For example, Inler, Sanchez, Klashnic and others who have recently joined the team, as well as those players who have remained in the team.
Their form and performance are more important. The facts of last season have proven that Liverpool still has no future with just one Chen Yingxiong. A good man, three gangs, a hero...that also requires the support of his teammates.
