Volume 1: Heroes Come and Go, People Pay Attention. Chapter 39: The Eat, Drink and Play Band Has Reached a Consensus (First Update, Please Vote for Me!)
In fact, Chen Yingxiong suddenly became depressed. Not only reporters and fans were surprised, but his good friends were also surprised.
At a recent Skittles event, Suarez asked this question: "Have you been in any trouble lately, hero?"
"Yes, did you encounter any troubles?" Skrtel was also very concerned about Chen Yingxiong.
Obviously, Chen Yingxiong's recent moodiness was not known to just one or two people, but to everyone.
Chen Yingxiong felt strange: "No. Why did you ask this question?"
"Then I see that you have been depressed since you came back from Slovenia..."
Only then did Chen Yingxiong react.
"Oh, you're talking about this... I just feel like I'm such a failure..." So Chen Yingxiong told his friends the reason why he was depressed. Of course, he didn't say, "I'm here to complete the 'Old Enemy'" The task is to surpass Messi in all aspects..." No one would believe this.
Even so, his friends were still surprised. They all stared at him with their eyes wide open and their mouths wide open.
"You want to compare goals with Messi!?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Chen Yingxiong shrugged, unable to understand why these people were so surprised.
"Messi is the most powerful person right now..." Adam Johnson said.
Chen Yingxiong made a sound, his disdain palpable.
"He has scored more than 40 goals in various competitions this year, right?" Suarez didn't remember clearly. The media had mentioned the number, but he only remembered it was more than forty. But he doesn't care about this. What he cares more about is: "Why do you have to compete with him to see who has more goals and who has less? Not only are you in different leagues, but you also participate in different European competitions. One is in the Champions League and the other is in the European Cup." Connect..."
Sanchez, who had worked with Chen Yingxiong for two seasons in Naples, knew Chen Yingxiong better. He quickly figured it out after the initial surprise.
"Hey, I think you must have been stimulated by Messi's performance in the Champions League last season, right?" he said.
The others fell silent after hearing what he said. That’s how it turns out…
Messi was indeed crazy last season, scoring 18 goals in the Champions League! Such achievements are simply unprecedented and unprecedented.
At that time, the media was full of praises, and Messi seemed to be almost called the "god of football" by them.
For Chen Yingxiong, who is proud and arrogant, it is indeed reasonable to be provoked by Messi.
Chen Yingxiong snorted: "He just took advantage of it because I didn't participate. But I still can't participate in the Champions League this season, so maybe he has to continue to be arrogant... So I plan to play more in the Europa League." Score goals and surpass him with more goals. I can’t let him steal the spotlight all by himself!”
"Overwhelm him? How much are you going to score?" Skrtel asked.
"Well last season Messi scored 18 goals in the Champions League. The Champions League is more difficult than the Europa League. I think no matter what I do... I can't score less than twenty, right?"
"hiss"
Several people nearby took a breath of air.
Twenty goals in the Europa League in a single season? Not to mention that the history of the newly established Europa League is too short. Even if the UEFA Cup is added, no one has ever achieved such an achievement, whether before or after the restructuring.
Twenty goals! Many forwards play more than 30 league games in a season, but they may not be able to score so many goals. How many games in the Europa League? There are six group stage games and nine knockout games, which add up to only fifteen games, less than half of the league. Chen Yingxiong actually has to score at least twenty goals?
"Are you not crazy, hero?"
Suarez also touched Chen Yingxiong's forehead with his hand to see if he had a fever.
"Fuck!" Chen Yingxiong waved Suarez's hand away.
"I haven't burned my head yet!"
"But your idea is too shocking..." Skrtel also felt that Chen Yingxiong's goal was unrealistic. If Chen Yingxiong wants to score 15 goals in the Europa League, he believes that Chen Yingxiong has such ability. But scoring twenty goals in the Europa League... that's a bit exaggerated!
Unexpectedly, when he said this, Chen Yingxiong did not frown and seriously consider whether it was really difficult. Instead, his eyes lit up and he turned to ask everyone: "Is it really shocking?"
Everyone nodded: "It's not very shocking, it's simply very, very shocking!"
Chen Yingxiong clapped his hands: "That's right!"
"What's wrong?"
"It's enough to shock the world! If it wasn't difficult, couldn't grab the media's headlines, and couldn't become a hot topic for everyone's discussion, I wouldn't bother to do it!" Chen Yingxiong said happily. "You're my friends and since you all think it's unlikely that I'll be able to pull it off..."
"It's not 'unlikely', but absolutely impossible." Suarez said seriously.
"That's better. Since you all think it's absolutely impossible for me to accomplish it, then no one outside thinks I can do it!" Chen Yingxiong said with excitement, "As long as I do it, then Isn’t it a big event that shocked the world?”
"Wake up, hero..." Suarez stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Chen Yingxiong's eyes. "Don't think about whether it can shock the world. First, think about whether it can't be realized..."
This time, before it was Chen Yingxiong's turn to refute Suarez, Sanchez suddenly intervened to express his support for Chen Yingxiong.
"I think heroes can be achieved..."
He successfully attracted everyone's attention. Everyone looked at him. Even Chen Yingxiong was a little surprised.
"Well... I suddenly thought of the Champions League hero in the 2010-11 season who was suspended for eight games and missed two qualifying matches and six group matches. As a result, he only played seven knockout games and reached the 13th place. , goals, and got the top scorer. At that time, I remember someone was guessing how many goals the hero could score if he were allowed to play a full season? So I thought, now that there is a full season, as long as we can go all the way. In the final, maybe it’s really possible for the hero to score at least twenty goals?”
Chen Yingxiong clasped his hands and laughed. "Alex still understands me!"
"But that requires us to reach the final..." Suarez said.
"Don't you want to come back and play with Huang Jun from the Europa League, Louis?" Chen Yingxiong asked him.
This question left Suarez speechless and froze on the spot. Of course he also wants to win the championship. This is too tempting...
Seeing his stunned look, the others laughed.
With such a smile, the atmosphere immediately changed. Everyone began to think that what Sanchez said made sense. Everyone saw Chen Yingxiong's awesome performance that season.
Maybe it can actually be done.
The core of the discussion now became "How to help Chen Yingxiong achieve this goal and how to get the team to the finals and finally win the championship..." instead of questioning whether Chen Yingxiong can do it.
"I think you need to talk to your boss about this first, hero." Skrtel said.
"Yes, it's useless no matter how much we say. If the boss is not willing to invest too much energy in the Europa League and continues to rotate like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to support the final..."
"But we can also make an agreement with everyone first and let them all support the hero!" Adam Johnson also came up with an idea.
"Leave this matter to me." Skrtel volunteered. He is the one who has played for Liverpool the longest among these people. He has the widest connections and convinced everyone that he is indeed more suitable for this matter.
"Well... I should say hello to the captain first. In terms of influence, the captain is the most influential..."
A group of people started to make suggestions for Chen Yingxiong.
These people are the main players of the team. As long as they can get enough playing time in the knockout stage, Chen Yingxiong can get a lot of help from them.
In this way, the Eat, Drink and Play Band reached an agreement at this event to help Chen Yingxiong score at least 20 goals in the Europa League in a single season.
When the game finally ended, Suarez patted Chen Yingxiong on the arm and said: "Although I still think it is irrational to find Messi as an opponent, but... if the opponent is not strong enough, it will not be fun! So, I support you !”
Sanchez also nodded: "You have defeated Messi once, and I believe you can beat him again!"
Chen Yingxiong smiled: "One time is not enough! I want him to not be able to defeat me at all!"
※x※
Martin O'Neill is also worried about Chen Yingxiong's low mood. Not only is he afraid of affecting Chen Yingxiong's state, he is also worried that this and the mood will be transmitted from Chen Yingxiong to other players. After all, Chen Yingxiong is a very influential person in the locker room. If he is always so inexplicably depressed, others will be affected by him.
So he planned to have a good talk with Chen Yingxiong again.
Unexpectedly, when he saw Chen Yingxiong at the training base the next day, the other party greeted him very enthusiastically and happily: "Good morning, boss! Why are you here so early today?"
O'Neal was startled and didn't realize what was going on...
By the time he reacted, Chen Yingxiong had already walked away.
He didn't have time to ask Chen Yingxiong what was wrong. Why were you so depressed before, and now you are suddenly so motivated?
In fact, just as surprised and puzzled as Martin O'Neal were the media waiting outside the training ground.
They saw Chen Yingxiong again in training, who was full of energy, looking for people to joke around, and causing bursts of laughter in the training ground.
A group of people looked at each other.
How is this going?
Could it be that he and Cabrera were reunited?
Or is it that he has completely kicked off the female bodyguard and found a new love?
Chen Yingxiong won't tell them, let them continue racking their brains to guess!
If you can also confuse one or two opponents by the way, that would be even better!
