Volume 1: Heroes Appear, People Pay Attention. Chapter 27: Ways to Deal with Chen Yingxiong (Second Update, Please Vote for Me)

In the penultimate round of the league last season, Chelsea challenged Liverpool away. In that game, Chelsea lost 1:3 away from Liverpool. Chen Yingxiong scored two goals alone.

The key is that Terry became the background for the two goals he scored. [bsp; On the first ball, Chen Yingxiong used his strong body to squeeze Terry behind him. Terry is not thin, he is 1.87 meters tall and can hit 90 kilograms. According to this ratio, he is probably a little stronger than Chen Yingxiong.

But he was squeezed behind Chen Yingxiong like a child being bullied by Chen Yingxiong, and then watched helplessly as Chen Yingxiong kicked the football into the goal.

Cech was very angry at the time for losing the ball, but he just spread his hands and shrugged to express his dissatisfaction. Other than that, he didn't say anything.

After all, it was the captain who made the mistake...

For Chen Yingxiong's second goal, Terry's header to clear the ball failed to go far, and was shot from long range by Henderson. Then Chen Yingxiong intercepted the ball midway and knocked the football in.

Both goals conceded are directly or indirectly related to Terry.

Terry was completely defeated when facing Chen Yingxiong.

But it's quite normal. Terry is already thirty-two years old. As he gets older, his physical condition is not as good as before. Chen Yingxiong is only twenty-three years old and is on the rise. Such a result is a natural law. If Terry were five years younger, Chen Yingxiong might not be so relaxed.

Terry was just a little annoyed about losing the ball and failing, that's all, and had no other reaction. As a veteran player, what kind of generosity and big waves have you not seen? Missing a key penalty in the Champions League final caused the team to lose the Champions League championship. He has encountered such things. Chen Yingxiong scored two goals in the game, what does this count?

Originally, this matter was over.

Unexpectedly, Advocaat jumped out at this time and said, "Facing him is our nightmare", which pushed Terry to the forefront again. The media brought up the old story one after another, and everyone immediately thought of Chen Yingxiong's third goal last season. How to "humiliate" Terry in seventeen rounds of the league.

Yes, some media used the word "humiliation".

In fact, in terms of conceding goals and failures, Terry is not responsible for everything. Losing the Champions League championship is his responsibility, and he has not been afraid of anyone. But the media don’t talk about this.

What the media said is "...John Terry is obviously old. He is vulnerable to the stronger and younger Chen Yingxiong and is no match for the hero..."

Listen to these keywords "obviously older", "stronger and younger", "vulnerable" and "not an opponent at all". This is simply a naked look down on Terry. Do you think Terry can't be angry?

Terry can accept failure, and he has suffered countless failures in his career. But when he became famous and reached this level, when his career began to gradually decline, the last thing he could tolerate was... being looked down upon by others.

That would make him feel insulted. But the actual underlying reason is that Terry is afraid of this aging change...

When his body begins to age, his movements are no longer powerful, his jumps are not as high as before, his headers are not as accurate as before, and when physical confrontation is no longer as fearful as before, he will become more and more panicked. This is the ending that a hero who once stood at the top is least willing to accept - helplessly fade away.

Terry was also one of the top central defenders in the world when he was young. Now he is being bullied by a young man who has just arrived, and the media are still talking to each other, as if it is the right thing to hang up his boots.

It really made him very unhappy.

He didn't take it seriously at first, but now it has been brought up again by Advocaat and the media. When everyone discusses it, it seems that Terry is very incompetent.

He couldn't tolerate such a thing.

He wants to prove himself again, even if he knows that such proof will not rejuvenate his career. But even just once, just once, he can make the media change their tune and cheer for him. At the end of his career, there were not many such moments.

He also wants to show Advocaat his power. Reasserting his status and power to the new head coach. Chelsea cannot live without himself.

So many needed things finally fell to Chen Yingxiong. As long as he defeats Chen Yingxiong in the game, successfully freezes him, guards him, and does not let him score a goal, then he will win.

For this reason, he planned to find Advocaat and take the initiative to defend Chen Yingxiong during the game.

Is Advocaat really an idiot? He clearly knew that his words would arouse dissatisfaction among the back line, especially the strong reaction of Terry, the team leader, so why would he say such irritating words?

He knows that when a new team arrives, building a good relationship with the team's veteran players, especially the captain and players who play a decisive role in the locker room, is the key to stabilizing the team he takes over.

But why did he still say that?

The reason still lies with Chen Yingxiong.

As Chen Yingxiong's mentor, he felt that he knew Chen Yingxiong too well.

This kid is the kind of player who the more you look down on him, the harder he will play to prove himself to you.

If he said in an interview: "We already have a way to deal with Chen Yingxiong." Then after the media hype, Chen Yingxiong will obviously take this matter seriously.

He focused on studying the last round of the league that was closest to him. Why was Chen Yingxiong so excited at the beginning of the game? It's not just because the media is hyping up the topic that he has never conquered Villa Park. To be honest, he also thinks this topic is really boring. Chen Yingxiong hasn't played at Villa Park yet, so why talk about "conquering or not"?

In the eyes of someone who knows Chen Yingxiong very well, Chen Yingxiong's performance in the first and second half of that game was actually very different.

After scoring the goal, he obviously put his rhythm into full play, and in the second half he just played normally. Of course, for others, Chen Yingxiong's normal performance is scary enough, but in the first eight minutes of the first half, Chen Yingxiong's extraordinary performance...

There is a gap.

In order to avoid irritating Chen Yingxiong, he did not pretend that Chelsea already knew how to defend Chen Yingxiong. He knows very well that people like Chen Yingxiong will not give his former mentor any face in the competition - Chen Yingxiong's way of expressing his respect for his teacher is to defeat you with all his strength in the competition, proving that he has no regrets. He respects you very much. When he was coaching Chen Yingxiong, Advocaat liked Chen Yingxiong's principles. After becoming his opponent, he began to have a headache...

Chen Yingxiong is now in the rising period of his career, and this rising curve is almost 90 degrees upward, just like a rocket, climbing at a high speed. Along the way, he won championships with ease, breaking records was like eating, and he heard countless praises and compliments.

Based on his understanding of Chen Yingxiong, it was impossible for such a young man to not be a little complacent. Not to mention that Chen Yingxiong showed such problems many times when he was with Zenit St. Petersburg. Otherwise, how could his condition be like a fountain, blowing out after a while?

Therefore, if you follow the current trend and praise Chen Yingxiong, it may make Chen Yingxiong relax his vigilance. Chen Yingxiong is like this. He gets emotional easily. Once he becomes emotional, it will affect his performance...

This is Advocaat's plan. He didn't really look down on Terry, nor did he insist on picking up Terry's scars, it was just...well, tactical necessity. Of course, another reason is to hope to stimulate Terry's fighting spirit, confidence and state.

Therefore, it was not surprising to him that Terry approached him to defend Chen Yingxiong during the game - he just hoped that Terry would come to him.

"I hope that in the game the day after tomorrow, let me defend the hero, boss." Facing Advocaat, Terry still showed enough courtesy and respect. After all, he is his boss after all, and because he brought out figures like Chen Yingxiong and led Zenit St. Petersburg, which no one was optimistic about before, to win the UEFA Cup, Advocaat still has enough influence.

Although Terry still respected each other in terms of address, from Terry's straightforward, almost commanding tone, Advocaat still felt the dominance of the boss of Chelsea's locker room.

Anyway, his request was what he wanted, and Advocaat didn't feel any displeasure.

Of course, it is still necessary to continue to provoke and stimulate Terry's fighting spirit.

Advocaat pretended to be surprised: "Are you alone?"

This surprised look made Terry feel even more unhappy, thinking that I still have to guard Chen Yingxiong alone, and I will prove it to you!

So he nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

Advocaat frowned: "That's it...but what I'm considering is that you and Ruiz should work together to guard against him..."

It takes two of you to defend Chen Yingxiong. This obviously means that Terry is worried about defending Chen Yingxiong alone.

He also doesn't trust Terry's ability.

Of course Terry couldn't agree.

He said very firmly: "No, I can do it alone!"

Seeing that the other party was resolute, Advocaat knew that the heat was on. If he continued to provoke him, he was afraid that Terry would turn over the table and fall out with him first. Then the gain outweighs the loss...

So Advocaat pretended to be embarrassed and thought about it for a moment, then nodded, and said to Terry as if he had made a lot of determination: "I will hand him over to you, John. I believe that you actually He is still the best central defender in the world!"

Give him a slap first, and then give him a candied date to taste.

Let Terry figure out whether he despises him or values ​​him.

Anyway, after this game, Advocaat will have a good talk with Terry. By then, they will open up and resolve any misunderstandings.
