Volume 1: When Heroes Appear, People Pay Attention. Chapter 50: Becoming Good Is Not Just a Hero

After returning from Belgium, Liverpool was warmly welcomed by many fans and pursued by the media.

Defeating Anderlecht with a score of 5:1 in an away game against an unlikely opponent is a good indication of Liverpool's strength. It means that Liverpool has the strength to fight a tough battle. You must know that this score was achieved when Anderlecht held on for half of the game. This shows how powerful Liverpool's offensive strength is.

Chen Yingxiong, who completed a hat trick, is even more sought after by the media.

He also stated in an interview that his goal in the Europa League this season is to win the league's top scorer.

"If the UEFA Cup is not the Europa League, it is my first time to participate in this competition, so I hope to get the top scorer in this competition - it can be regarded as a collection. I want to collect the top scorers in various competitions. Aha!"

The reporters who heard this couldn't help but curl their lips - how crazy!

But after pouting, you have to put on a serious expression again, because he has crazy capital - do you dare to question Chen Yingxiong? Then just wait to be slapped by Chen Yingxiong with cruel and powerful facts!

Countless people have been slapped in the face by Chen Yingxiong.

And looking at Chen Yingxiong's performance in the Europa League this season, let alone Liverpool reaching the finals, let alone entering the top 16, Chen Yingxiong has a high chance of becoming the top scorer...

※※※

Coming from Belgium, the media's coverage of this game was only at a regular level. They did not report or exaggerate Liverpool's victory or Chen Yingxiong's hat trick. It is not the first time for Chen Yingxiong to perform a hat trick in the Champions League, let alone the Europa League, which is not as good as the Champions League.

Therefore, everyone feels that although Chen Yingxiong scored a hat trick and scored six goals in three games, it is not bad, but it is still within the range that everyone can accept - of course, if it were other players who had this result, the media would have already This is a huge change. It must be a huge hype, and they will not stop until they make this player the world's best player.

It can be seen that there is really a difference in treatment. After Chen Yingxiong raised the standard, the media also lost interest in his goals - isn't it very simple for Chen Yingxiong to score goals? When Chen Yingxiong fails to score in two consecutive games, it will be news...

The English media quickly shifted their attention from the Europa League to the country. After the Europa League, the League Cup will be played soon, and time is very tight.

Since Liverpool Club Chen Yingxiong's second yellow card was appealed to the Football Association, Chen Yingxiong can start in the League Cup against Cardiff City.

The media all believe that this appeal is actually meaningless at all, and they have no idea why O'Neill and the club would do this. In this way, wouldn't the game against Arsenal be dangerous?

The media who think this way obviously don’t know what kind of person Chen Yingxiong is, and how to get along with Chen Yingxiong...

Martin O'Neill won't explain, so let the media question it!

What I have to rely on is not the media, but players like heroes...

Thanks to Chen Yingxiong's starting appearance, Liverpool defeated Cardiff City very easily at home.

Before the game, some media said that this was a battle of revenge, but the result was no response at all. Even Cardiff City's manager didn't agree.

Of course, this may still be Cardiff City's strategy.

Just like last season's League Cup final.

So no matter what Mrs. Cady thinks this time, the Liverpool people have no intention of giving Mrs. Cady any chance as soon as they play at their home court.

In the 11th minute, Gerrard opened the scoring for Liverpool with a long shot. In the 29th minute, Kuyt expanded the score for the team.

Five minutes after the start of the second half, Chen Yingxiong's shot from the penalty area expanded the score to 3:0 for the team. Cardiff City had completely lost the opportunity.

The fact is that Cardiff City really has no intention of revenge this time... After last season's League Cup final, Cardiff City already has a very clear personal experience of Liverpool's strength.

If Chen Yingxiong is suspended for this game, Cardiff City may have some thoughts of revenge.

However, Liverpool would rather give up the league match with Arsenal and let Chen Yingxiong play in the League Cup, so the result would lose suspense.

Although Chen Yingxiong only scored one goal in the game, with him around, the morale of the entire Liverpool team was different...

Cardiff City was beaten without any power to fight back. At the end of the game, Sanchez, who came off the bench, scored his first goal for the team after joining the team, 4:0! Liverpool easily defeated Cardiff City at home and advanced to the semi-finals.

※※※

The League Cup is over, and the final penalty decision from the FA Disciplinary Committee has come out.

A yellow card will not be cancelled, and a one-match suspension for a red card will still be valid.

However, considering that this appeal is not a malicious appeal, but is intended to prevent players from missing important games, no additional punishment will be imposed on Chen Yingxiong.

Chen Yingxiong only needs to suspend one game before he can come back.

However, he will still miss the opportunity to talk directly with Van Persie.

Van Persie is currently the second-ranked scorer in the Premier League, but the gap between him and Chen Yingxiong is a bit big...

After ten rounds of the league, the hero scored fourteen goals, while Van Persie only scored nine goals. The difference between the two was five goals.

Such a huge gap makes the direct dialogue between the two shooters less gimmicky.

Chen Yingxiong didn't care either. He regarded Van Persie as his opponent last season because Van Persie was in the lead at the time, but he was a pursuer and did not overtake until the end. So Van Persie can indeed be counted as his opponent.

But now, he has been the leader from the beginning, and although Van Persie ranks second, he has five goals less than him. Chen Yingxiong does not think Van Persie can threaten his position.

So naturally, Van Persie is no longer his opponent, Chen Yingxiong.

Now Chen Yingxiong's only opponent is Messi. Even Cristiano Ronaldo, who is also very good at scoring goals, does not take him seriously.

Because Ronaldo's personal influence is not as good as Messi's, and the honors he has received are far behind, so he is not considered the number one person in the world.

What Chen Yingxiong wants to do is to be number one in the world, and his opponent is naturally the current number one in the world.

Liverpool, without Chen Yingxiong, faced the challenge of Arsenal at their home court.

Chen Yingxiong, who was suspended for this game, sat in a box at Anfield Stadium and watched the game with two big guys, Chen Xing and Niang.

※※※

Liverpool, without Chen Yingxiong, had Martin O'Neill line up with Suarez as a single forward. Liverpool scored 4231.

Klashnic was injured before this game, so this adjustment was made.

As a guest, Arsenal scored first.

It was Robin van Persie who scored the goal.

After General Fan scored, he waved his fist towards the VIP box.

"Hey, Hero, he's demonstrating to you." Niang next to him touched Chen Yingxiong's arm.

Chen Yingxiong rolled his eyes.

"You must be angry that you would support our club's appeal." Niang continued to joke.

In fact, if Liverpool wants to appeal, if Chen Yingxiong disagrees, it is impossible to really appeal. After all, it still depends on the player's wishes. However, Chen Yingxiong still made the decision to support the club's appeal, knowing that the appeal would cause him to miss the game against Arsenal. Because he wants to express an attitude - I support the club, and the club supports me. We are very good brothers now!

"Yes, hero! You actually abandoned your good friend and hid alone in this VIP box drinking drinks and watching the game with your legs crossed!" Chen Xing also joked next to him.

"Damn!" Because he didn't know when the live TV camera would be in the box, Chen Yingxiong didn't give Chen Xing the middle finger. "What does it mean to be a good friend! He and I have nothing to do with each other!"

It seems that the three people don't seem to care much about the fact that the team is falling behind.

Because they have been mentally prepared for a long time. Without Chen Yingxiong, even if it is a home game and against an opponent of Arsenal's level, it is normal to concede a goal or something.

In fact, the most important thing is that Liverpool's results this season are very good and the momentum is also very good, so everyone is relatively relaxed. Not as nervous as last season, the nerves are always tense. Even if we were leading last season, as long as the opponent scored a goal, everyone's hearts would tighten, and many bad thoughts would begin to pop up uncontrollably.

At that time, everyone's psychological endurance could really be said to be very strong, or it could be said to be very weak...it was always going through constant ups and downs.

To put it bluntly, it’s all because of poor grades. If you do not perform well and always lose, whether you are playing football or watching football, it is easier to lose confidence. Confidence comes quickly - when you are ahead, you have confidence, and it goes away quickly - as long as the opponent scores a goal , it will be gone soon.

Continuous losing has caused Liverpool people to fall into a mood of self-denial.

In this case, can the team's performance still be good? People watching the game also felt uncomfortable. So last season, Liverpool's performance really hurt the hearts of many fans.

Niang was also really smart, letting Dalglish continue to lead the team for a full season, and then let everyone see the consequences that Dalglish coaching the team would bring to the team. By the end of the season, no one was saying that Dalglish shouldn't have gone.

※※※

The final result of the match against Arsenal was that Liverpool was tied 1:1 by Arsenal at their home court. After Van Persie scored, Suarez equalized the score for the team in the second half.

Liverpool, without Chen Yingxiong, did not lose at home. This is actually a very good performance. Many Liverpool fans have deepened their confidence in the team through this game.

This means that even if Chen Yingxiong will miss the game for some reason, they don't have to be too pessimistic.

Because it’s not just Chen Yingxiong who has become better, but also the whole of Liverpool! (To be continued
