Volume 1: Heroes Come and Go, People Pay Attention Chapter 35 I Am His Uncle (Third Update, Please Vote for Me!)
Chen Yingxiong figured it out, isn't it just that he has 34 fewer honors than Messi? What's the big deal?
It was exactly the same as the Champions League that season. Messi played six more group stage games than him and scored six more goals than him. At that time, many people thought that it was impossible for Chen Yingxiong to defeat Messi and win the top scorer. His words at the Champions League awards ceremony were undoubtedly arrogance.
But what's the result? He surprised all Europe! He scored 13 goals with six less games in the group stage, surpassing Messi, not only won the top scorer in the Champions League, but also defeated Barcelona in the final, giving the team the first place in the club's history. Champions League champion.
He had already surprised all of Europe, and he wouldn't mind surprising the world again.
To surpass Messi requires him to continue to improve his abilities and help the team win more honors.
Although this was quite difficult, having a specific goal still kept him motivated and motivated.
What people fear most is not having a goal. Especially for someone like Chen Yingxiong who has received many honors at a young age, his current achievements alone are enough for him to remain popular until the end of his career and still maintain a certain prestige.
Now that he has such a specific goal, Chen Yingxiong will have the motivation to strive for at least the next seven years.
After these seven years have passed, Chen Yingxiong is already thirty-one years old, and his career has officially begun to enter into a tacit understanding. His condition and physical fitness can only decline all the way. The only difference is the speed of decline. By that time, what he could pursue was extremely limited.
In other words, these seven years can determine Chen Yingxiong's ultimate achievement as a professional player.
Therefore, it can be seen that the design of this mission is not just a random thought, but it is really meaningful. If Chen Yingxiong decides to do this task, in fact, even if he loses, his ultimate career achievement will not be too bad, at least he will be the top player in the world.

People are always more impulsive and full of fighting spirit and motivation when they have just received a task, and their subsequent performance will of course be better.
So the poor newly promoted Reding became Chen Yingxiong's victim.
In the fifth round of the league on September 1, Liverpool faced Derby County at home.
As a result, Chen Yingxiong scored a hat-trick and led Liverpool to a 6-0 home sweep of Reading!
"It's unbelievable! Hero! His first hat-trick of the season! His ninth league goal of the season! It's only been five rounds of the league! He's already scored nine goals! It's incredible !”
"This is the hero who made the entire Serie A bow to its knees! Terrifying attacking power! Super scoring ability!"
"I think maybe it was the fact that Messi won the European Ballon d'Or that inspired the hero. Everyone is saying that no one can beat Messi in today's football. He immediately made it in his own way. To respond - don’t forget there is me!”
When Chen Yingxiong scored his third goal, the commentators had climaxes one after another.
The media also commented on this matter after the game. Everyone believed that Chen Yingxiong was demonstrating against Messi. As a person who once defeated Messi, he is now used by some media as a stepping stone to praise Messi. He is indeed This kind of treatment is unacceptable.
But this feels a bit scratchy - no matter how many goals Chen Yingxiong scores in the Premier League, he will not be able to threaten Messi. After all, the two are not on the same level.
One plays in the Premier League and UEFA Cup, and the other plays in La Liga and the Champions League.
How can we meet it?
September 16th is the day when the first group match of the Europa League begins.
Chen Yingxiong set his sights on this event that he had never participated in.
If Barcelona continues to win the Champions League, then as long as they can win the Europa League, the two teams can meet in the European Super Cup next season. By then, they can have a head-to-head showdown with Messi and defeat him again. he!
Originally, Chen Yingxiong had no interest in the Europa League. Chen Yingxiong, who had already won the Champions League and UEFA Cup, was not interested in this emerging competition.
But now he has changed his mind. Since he wants to surpass Messi in the number of championships and honors, it is natural that no championship can be let go.
In fact, in terms of team honors, the English team has an advantage over the Spanish team. They have one more important championship - the English League Cup.
Spain only has domestic leagues and the Copa del Rey, while English teams can compete for the Premier League, League Cup and FA Cup.
Now it seems that the gap between thirty-four is not that big...

Chen Yingxiong's hat trick helped Liverpool beat Reading at home with six goals, and also raised the team's league ranking to first place. Although they both had five wins from five games, Liverpool's goals and goal difference were higher than Manchester City's. many.
The media was full of praise for the team's wonderful start.
When Dalglish was still coaching the team last season, in the first three rounds of the league, they won two and drew one, accumulating seven points. They briefly topped the league - only one night, when the Manchester City duo After the game, they fell off.
Even so, it was Liverpool's best start since the 21st century, and it has been praised by the media for a long time. A lot of media also pulled out some fatalistic stuff. The last time Liverpool won the league championship was in the 1989-1990 season. The head coach at that time happened to be Dalglish. After 21 seasons, the "King" once again led the Red Army to attack the league championship. Maybe this will happen. What if he can lead the team to a championship and create a new legend?
The results of it? Everyone has seen it...
Now Liverpool, led by Martin O'Neill, has finally taken the first place in the league. Although the league is not over yet and this first place does not guarantee that they will win the league championship, Liverpool's media and fans are already ecstatic.
Because this is not a situation like last season where we just sat there for a night. This time they are truly number one in the league. As long as they continue to win, they will still be number one. They don't have to worry about a certain team surpassing them after playing a game tomorrow.
In the eyes of fans of other wealthy teams, it would be too unreserved to be so happy just to be the first in the league and not have the style of a wealthy team at all.
But you must know that Liverpool has not been the leader for thirty-eight months. The last time Liverpool was the leader of the Premier League was in January 2009. However, after January, Benitez's team was gradually overtaken by rival Manchester United, and ultimately missed the championship unfortunately.
Their start to the season has been so rapid. Is it true that Liverpool can end its 22-season league title drought this season?
In the pubs and cafes on the streets of Liverpool, this is the topic that Liverpool fans have discussed most enthusiastically during this period.
I remember when Chen Xing and Niang drove Dalglish away, these people also cursed the Chinese for ruining the glory of Liverpool, a century-old giant. Now, everyone has changed their words and praised the two Chinese for bringing them Chen Yingxiong and Martin O'Neill. It is really a wise decision...
At this time, no one will miss Dalglish anymore. Let Dalglish be the team's head coach, which is simply a nightmare for the team.

After the fifth round, the Premier League took a break for two weeks, and these two weeks were national team match days.
The Chinese team still has not called up Chen Yingxiong to participate in the national team, even though the team is now struggling to qualify for the World Cup in Brazil.
This is quite normal. Not being able to participate in the World Cup has long been accustomed to the Chinese Football Association and the General Administration of Sports, and it is not a big deal. But if the Football Association is asked to lose face and publicly apologize to a player who has offended them with repeated provocations, this has never happened before. If someone does it, how can they continue to do it in the future?
Therefore, I would rather prevent the Chinese team from qualifying than be like a player who bows his head and admits his mistake! What's more, the Football Association never thought it had done anything wrong.
Chen Yingxiong didn't care about this either. Anyway, if the Football Association does not publicly apologize, he will never run back and ask to join the national team.
There is no discussion on this matter. Anyway, even if he joins the national team, the results of the national team will not make any qualitative leap. As for giving psychological comfort to Chinese fans, he feels that he is doing such things now, and there is no need to go to the national team to add extraneous details.
On the national team match day, he flew to Italy to play with Cabrera for three days.
Then return to Liverpool and continue to work hard on the copy.
After having a clear goal, he practiced harder and harder in the dungeon. Even Maradona was a little surprised by the energy.
"I said what are you doing so hard for?"
"I will defeat your successor!" Chen Yingxiong replied viciously.
"My successor?" Maradona was stunned for a moment before reacting. "You mean Messi? That kid is not my successor, he is one of a kind!"
When talking about Messi, Maradona is particularly proud. After all, so many years have passed since Argentine football, and many talents have emerged, including many world-class stars, but only Messi is the one most likely to surpass him in terms of talent, ability, and achievements.
He is the pride of Argentine football.
"Don't think about it, kid. He is very powerful!"
"Then I will become more powerful!"
After Maradona heard this, he sneered and kicked the ball with a very strong spin. The football spun rapidly in the air. When Chen Yingxiong stopped the ball with the instep of his outside foot, the football flew directly out and streaked in the air. It followed an arc and landed directly behind him, completely opposite to the direction he wanted to stop the ball.
"Only you? Haha!" Maradona laughed. "The gap between you is the distance between man and God!"
Chen Yingxiong was also happy: "Messi is a god?"
Maradona nodded triumphantly.
Chen Yingxiong spat: "If he is a god, I will be his uncle!"
