Volume 1: Heroes Come and Go, People Pay Attention Chapter 40 The Speaker Has No Intention, the Listener Has Intention (Second Update, Please Vote for Me!)
A few days after returning from Slovenia, it was the eighth round of the league, and it was another away game. The league is too dense, so Martin O'Neill has to continue to rotate.
Considering that Chen Yingxiong has been in an inexplicable depression these days, although he has recovered now, no one knows what is going on, so it is conservative and let Chen Yingxiong sit on the bench again.
Chen Yingxiong did not express any objection. He has now scored ten goals in the Premier League. He is not worried that he will not be the top scorer this season.
Why is he so desperate to score goals in the first round of the league? He just took into account that the team is fighting on multiple fronts this season, and the head coach may use rotation. If a lot of goals are lost due to rotation, it will not be worth it. . Therefore, the number of goals should be increased from the beginning, so that even if a few games are played less, the final number of goals will not be affected.
Now it seems that he was right.
Chen Yingxiong was replaced in the 70th minute of the game. When he came on, Liverpool was trailing Stoke City 0:1 away from home.
Chen Yingxiong's mission on the field is obvious, which is to help the team equalize the score and, if possible, win the game.
But this time Chen Yingxiong failed to play the heroic role of saving the team.
In the 87th minute, he once had a powerful and heavy long-range shot. At that time, Stoke City's goalkeeper had already raised his hands and surrendered, but the football finally hit the goal post.
"Ah! It seems God doesn't want the hero to score a goal today, nor does he want Liverpool to take a point!"
In the end, Liverpool lost to Stoke City 0:1 in the away game, which was considered a minor upset.
Liverpool's unbeaten record since the beginning of the league for seven rounds has finally been ended. This has made teams such as Manchester United and Manchester City breathe a sigh of relief. In fact, they were really worried that Liverpool would suddenly rise to power.
Well now, Liverpool is back to normal...
Because of the failure of this game, Liverpool also fell from the first position in the league and was surpassed by Manchester City.
This season has just started eight rounds. Liverpool and Manchester City are the best performing teams, while Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and other teams perform worse. However, the performance and ranking at this time cannot explain anything. There are many stories of teams that performed well early in the season, only to gradually fall behind.
Chen Yingxiong also talked about the loss after the game: "Of course it's not a happy thing to lose the game, but I don't think it's a big deal. This is just our first defeat in the new season. Rotation? There is no problem at all. Even if we lose, I still support rotation. In order for the team to go further, rotation is what we must do."
As for the fact that the team is not very accustomed to rotation, Chen Yingxiong shrugged and said: "You have to ask the head coach about this. I can't say anything of value about this matter."
Even if there is no goal in this round of the league, Chen Yingxiong still occupies the top spot in the league's scorer list with ten goals.
That's why Chen Yingxiong answered so calmly.
Some people speculate that if Chen Yingxiong was in the laggard position now, maybe he would have cursed a long time ago, but not necessarily...
They didn't know that Chen Yingxiong really wanted to play in the game. After watching his opponent score a goal, he became restless and itchy... He wanted to run to Martin O'Neill and ask to play in front of the entire audience.
But he still held back.
Because if they don’t insist on rotation at this time, Liverpool will definitely not reach the finals of the Europa League, and then their big plan will be ruined.
In order to surpass Messi...he had no choice but to endure it.

The media couldn't find the reason why Chen Yingxiong suddenly became depressed and suddenly improved again. After rumors spread for a few days that he and Cabrera had broken up, they discovered that Chen Yingxiong flew to Italy to find Cabrera again.
The Italian media took photos of the two people shopping on the streets of Milan, and all the rumors were disproven.
Therefore, Chen Yingxiong's sudden emotional ups and downs before turned into a puzzle with no answer.
Chen Yingxiong is not going to explain anything to the media. If they are willing to make up nonsense, they can make it up. Anyway, the relationship between him and Cabrera will not really be affected by the media's nonsense. If their fabrication is really too outrageous, you can also take up legal weapons and take them to court.
In the ninth round of the league, Liverpool will face Tottenham Hotspur at home.
This is a powerful enemy and not easy to deal with.
After this game, it will be the national team match day, and all the international players in the Liverpool team will fly to other parts of the world to play football.
Chen Yingxiong can't be idle either, he has to shoot a TV commercial for Red Bull drink.
For Liver Point, this is definitely not a break, but a more serious physical exertion. Every time this time comes, the team's head coach Martin O'Neill will be worried...for fear that one of his players will be injured on the national team match day.
Although FIFA has forced all national teams to purchase insurance for their national football players since August 2012, once the national football team is injured in a national team game...then where the players are The club will receive corresponding compensation. FIFA has specially approved a special fund of US$100 million for this purpose. Previously, the club and the national team had many conflicts over the use of the national team and injuries. FIFA formulated this rule to help both parties alleviate conflicts.
But for the club, they would rather not take the money and hope to get a healthy and intact player...
Because the loss caused to the club by the absence of some core players due to injuries cannot be compensated by FIFA's small special fund...
Then again, some losses are simply priceless. If Liverpool loses the league championship because of the loss of several absolute members, the originally good rising momentum will be suppressed, morale will be lost, and the tone will be exhausted. How much is this loss worth?
No matter how much money you bring, they won’t change it!

On October 7, Liverpool welcomed Tottenham Hotspur at home.
This time, since there will be no League Cup or Europa League, Martin O'Neill can field the full lineup.
Chen Yingxiong started again.
Liverpool will never allow another loss at their home ground.
Losing one game is just an accident, but losing two games in a row is a big problem and may become a dangerous signal.
So before this game, Martin O'Neal paid special attention to it.
The focus of this game is undoubtedly Chen Yingxiong.
Before the game, Redknapp talked about Chen Yingxiong.
"He is Liverpool's most threatening player and our biggest headache. He is very good... You want to ask us how to deal with him? I'm sorry, I won't tell you."
Tottenham star player Gareth Bale also said about Chen Yingxiong: "He is one of the best centers I have ever seen, but this does not prevent us from beating his team."
Reporters asked him maliciously: "Compared with Adebayor and him, which one do you think is better?"
Bale is not fooled: "Both are excellent."
Chen Yingxiong is naturally also the target of reporters' "siege".
Since Bell took the initiative to show kindness to him, he couldn't be too rude, right? Besides, he has no deep grudge against Tottenham and Bale. They are just ordinary competitors. It's hostile during the game, but after the game, everything is normal.
So he also praised Bell enthusiastically, but his praise was uncomfortable for Tottenham fans.
Because Chen Yingxiong said so.
"Bale is also a very good player. I have watched him play. He is great and passionate. I think he must be the kind of player Liverpool needs and it will be great to partner with him!"
He seemed overly enthusiastic...
※x※
However, we cannot rule out the possibility that Chen Yingxiong really admired Bell and said such words.
Chen Yingxiong himself didn’t mean it, but the speaker didn’t mean it, so he couldn’t stop the listener’s intention.
Tottenham fans were very unhappy when they heard Chen Yingxiong's words - what do you mean? Poaching in public?
Don't you know how important Bale is to Tottenham?
Don’t think that just because you have a few people and bad money, you can do whatever you want! Damn it, we at Tottenham are not paupers either!
Tottenham fans immediately issued a warning to Chen Yingxiong and Liverpool.
At the same time, Chen Yingxiong’s words also aroused strong interest in Niang of Liverpool.
Yes, Bell is also an excellent wide player. It seems that Liverpool can consider introducing him next season. Look at the centers he played with when he was at Tottenham, Pavlyuchenko, Crouch and Adebayor, all benefited a lot from him.
If he can cooperate with Chen Yingxiong, I believe Chen Yingxiong's goal number can reach a higher level.
The reason why the team did not pay attention to him before was due to many reasons. On the one hand, Tottenham's price tag for him was too high and they declared that he was not for sale, which meant that they could not take him away at all for 20 to 30 million. On the other hand, Liverpool's own attraction is not enough. You must know that Inter Milan, Barcelona and Real Madrid have all reported interest in him. Compared with them, what is Liverpool?
But things are different now. Those wealthy teams that were interested in him are gradually losing their interest. At least in the past two years, there have been fewer and fewer news about wealthy clubs being interested in Bell.
This season Tottenham are not even qualified to participate in the Champions League and can only play in the Europa League like Liverpool.
Baird's popularity has naturally declined after losing the important stage of the Champions League.
If Liverpool really wants to buy Bell, the competition it will face will be much smaller than in the previous two years.
In addition, as long as Liverpool can perform well this season, it will regain its glory as a giant, which should still be very attractive to Tottenham players. You must know that Liverpool is as big as Manchester United in English football. All they lack is a chance to announce their return.
Being able to participate in the Europa League this season is a good return statement for Liverpool.
As long as Liverpool can make its voice heard again, attracting Bale is not too difficult.
As Niang thought about it, he felt that this matter was very feasible. Of course, he can't wait until the end of the season to do such a thing. Player transfers must be prepared for a rainy day. He feels that he can consider promoting this matter now...
