Volume 1: Heroes Come and Go, People Pay Attention Chapter 127: Motivation for Heroes to Move Forward

After the game, the Liverpool media commented that "Liverpool killed the suspense..." Liverpool advanced to the semi-finals...

Wait for the headlines to cover this quarter-final match. No one raised any objections, and no one was worried that this would anger Twente. What if Twente made a huge comeback in the second round?

Everyone was impressed by Liverpool's performance.

Liverpool's performance this season has been completely different, which is really impressive. Not only is it ranked third in the league, but it also hopes to compete for the league championship. It is also making rapid progress in the Europa League and has a great chance of reaching the finals.

Now everyone feels that it is really possible for Liverpool and Inter Milan to meet in the final...

In the Premier League, Liverpool is currently four points behind Manchester United at the top of the list, which does not mean that there is no chance at all. It's just that the initiative is now in Manchester United's hands.

It would be easier to say if Manchester City is leading, because Manchester City and Liverpool have a chance to talk directly.

But no matter what, Liverpool's performance this season is much better than last season.

Nowadays, no matter how stubborn the "Dalglish elements" are, they have to admit that Niang's decision to replace Dalglish and let Martin O'Neill take over the team was indeed the right decision. If Dalglish were allowed to continue coaching, Liverpool would still be struggling for a Champions League spot. What about the Europa League? If you make it to the knockout round, you will probably be eliminated.

Martin O'Neill's character is not as tough and outstanding as Dalglish, so of course he is not the leader in the locker room, but similarly, he will not act arbitrarily because of his too tough personality. What's more, he only needs to have a good relationship with Gerrard and Chen Yingxiong to get the say in the locker room, which is not difficult.

Dalglish was so tough and legendary that everyone followed him blindly.

This does not currently exist with Martin O'Neill.

O'Neal has no foundation, so he is very low-key in the club. The advantage of being low-key is that he can focus on the team without being disturbed by the outside world.

Because no one would use him as a target and think about dealing with him all day long. Dalglish is a big tree that attracts the wind.

...was used as a target by Niang.

In short, under the leadership of such a low-key coach, Liverpool is making steady progress on the road to revival. This is much better than some famous marshal's empty head.

In the past, some people wanted Mourinho to lead Liverpool, but the actual situation is that Mourinho, a head coach with a full personality and a strong control, is expected to have a lose-lose fight with Niang first.

The Premier League has reached the 33rd round, which is already close to the end. There are still five league rounds before the end of the league.

In these five league rounds, Liverpool will also play against Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham. Fortunately, Liverpool defeated Twente 5:1 at home, and Martin O'Neill can give some of the main players some rest time.

After playing Twente at home, Liverpool will face Arsenal on the weekend.

This game is an away game for Liverpool, and Martin O'Neill plans to play with all the main players. If they lose to Arsenal, they will fall further behind Manchester United.

Liverpool's away game against Arsenal, apart from the meeting between the two strong players, there is no other gimmick for hype.

Last season, the media could still talk about the "battle for top scorer". This season, no one is interested in discussing this topic. Because in the league's top scorer list, Chen Yingxiong has scored 35 goals, which is only two goals away from the record of 37 goals he set last season. The Golden Boot award for this season has already been booked.

Although the second-ranked Van Persie is also working hard, there is still a gap between his state and last season. So far, he has only scored 20 goals, which is 15 goals behind. In the remaining five In the first round of the league, unless he averages three goals per game and prays that Chen Yingxiong does not score a goal, he has no hope of catching up with Chen Yingxiong.

This is too difficult, so even Van Persie himself knows that he has no hope of becoming the top scorer. When he was in the best shape of his career, he met Chen Yingxiong. It was really sad!

For this reason, both sides were calm before the game, and no one provoked a war of words against each other.

The game between Liverpool and Arsenal is not like they and Manchester United where there are endless topics to talk about. This is just an ordinary clash between strong teams.

Neither Van Persie nor Chen Yingxiong expressed any views or opinions on this game.

They just focus on the game.

As a result, both players performed well in this game - Van Persie opened the scoring for Arsenal in the game.

Chen Yingxiong helped the team equalize the score in the second half.

Both men scored goals, but the results did not satisfy them.

Especially Chen Yingxiong, because Liverpool was tied 1:1 by Arsenal in the away game.

Although Manchester City was defeated by Chelsea 2:0 at home, Manchester United defeated Southampton 2:0 away from home. As a result, the gap between Liverpool and Manchester United has changed from four points to six points, and they are further away from the league championship. …

Precisely because they knew this result, the Liverpool players seemed disappointed after they were finally tied with Arsenal.

Chen Yingxiong fought hard until the end of the game, but unfortunately he failed to bring the team a victory despite his hard work.

Although he increased his goals in this game to thirty-six, everything became meaningless in the face of this result.

He watched Liverpool getting further and further away from the joint championship, but there was nothing he could do. This made him feel helpless.

This feeling is very bad.

He clenched his fist, then unclenched it, then clenched it again, and then unclenched it again.

Head coach Martin O'Neill came up to comfort his players. He walked to Chen Yingxiong's side and put a hand on his shoulder.

"Don't take it too seriously, hero. Sometimes you have to accept the results. This is football. Life and football are not all about wins and championships."

Chen Yingxiong turned to look at his boss: "I know, boss. But I just want to be a winner. This is also the motivation for me to keep moving forward. If I acquiesce to this rule, maybe I won't be able to go far."

Martin O'Neal patted his shoulder and did not talk about his. He knew that as a player who has won many honors at a young age, it is normal to have such thoughts. After all, he is young and energetic, and no one can Be willing to be the loser. Wasn't he like this when he was young?

So there is nothing to blame or educate about this. The hero is right. He has already won so many honors at such a young age. If he didn't have this kind of unwillingness to admit defeat, he might have really lost the motivation to move forward. At such a young age, he rested on his laurels and rested on his laurels, until the day came when he could only rest on his laurels.

So Martin O'Neill didn't say anything, just smiled.

He thought that perhaps when Chen Yingxiong entered the end of his career, as his physical and technical abilities gradually declined, and as he encountered more and more helpless things like this, he would slowly begin to get used to and accept it. A feeling.

In any case, Liverpool was tied by Arsenal in the away game and they are further away from the league championship. This night, the happiest people are the Manchester United fans, they have even begun to celebrate the championship in advance.

Whether it is Manchester City or Liverpool, they feel that they are not their opponents. Especially in the penultimate round of the league, Liverpool faced Manchester City at home. This was a direct dialogue between the second and third place in the league. No matter what the result is, Manchester United can reap the benefits.

After being held to a draw by Arsenal, Martin O'Neill also reflected on his gains and losses during this period.

The prospects for the Europa League are great, and they have been ranked first in the league. It seems that they can win both championships this season. It turned out that he got carried away. He wants to win both championships.

You must know that the goal he set at the beginning of the season was to advance to the knockout rounds of the Europa League, the Premier League, and qualify for next season's Champions League. It's that simple.

But the actual performance this season far exceeded his expectations.

So much so that he had delusions that he shouldn't have, and thus disrupted his own plans and the team's preparations.

It was precisely because of his eagerness for success during this period that he was in trouble in the league. In the last six games, apart from winning a Merseyside derby against Everton and a game against Southampton, the other four games have been two draws and two losses. This is the team's worst performance this season.

The team has officially fallen from the first place in the league to the third place now.

If he continues to insist on winning championships on both fronts, he is afraid that he will soon collapse. In the end, he will not be able to win the two championships. What if he loses the Champions League qualification for next season? That’s when you lose your bottom line.

In order to avoid such a situation, he must readjust his strategic focus in the future and stop competing with Manchester United for first place in the league and keep his current third position in the league.

At the same time, try your best to reach the finals of the Europa League, defeat your opponents, and win the championship trophy.

This can be regarded as a perfect end to this season.

To put it bluntly, Liverpool's lineup is not strong enough and they are not ready to win championships on both fronts. So it won't work to dream of a double crown now.

He is still down-to-earth, and being able to win the Europa League is considered capable.

Next, they will recruit new players this summer and purchase strong reinforcements to start their attack on the league championship again.

As for the Champions League title, Martin O'Neill feels that Liverpool should not think about it in the short term, and there is no need for Liverpool to be anxious in the Champions League.

The league championship is the championship that Liverpool fans desire most. After all, since the establishment of the Premier League, Liverpool has not won a league championship. As a traditional English giant, Liverpool, which prides itself on being the most successful team in England, absolutely cannot accept this reality. Especially since the arch-rival Manchester United has won the most Premier League titles, they are even more serious about fighting for it. No matter what, we must win the league championship!
