Chapter 165
Overthrow Manchester United? Daydreaming!
The day before the start of the league is getting closer.
The entire Liverpool team also returned to Merseyside to begin final preparations before the season. []
During this day's training break, a camera team came to the Melwood training base.
"This time it's not about making a movie." Head coach Martin O'Neill explained to the players. "They're here to film a promotional video for the season."
"Season promotional video?" Everyone expressed surprise, "I've never heard of it before, boss..."
"Starting from this season, we will shoot promotional videos every season." O'Neal explained.
This idea was discussed between O'Neill and Niang.
Whether it is Niang or O'Neill, both agree that this season is the beginning of the official attack on the Premier League king Manchester United. The team needs something different to boost morale and also let the fans know what Liverpool is planning to do. .
So they decided to shoot a promotional video.
It will be released on Liverpool's own official website at that time. In addition, before the start of some games, O'Neal will also release promotional videos to cheer up his teammates.
Before each season, the Premier League official will only make a promotional video for the new season, but Liverpool Club has not yet had such a habit. This is a new thing.
Everyone is very novel and excited.
All the players went out and talked about their expectations for this season in front of the camera, but this was not an impromptu effort, they just said whatever they wanted. Someone has written the lines in the script, and they just have to follow it, otherwise many people will not know what to say.
Chen Yingxiong took the script and read his lines.
"Overthrowing Manchester United? This is good, haha!" He laughed.
Ferguson once said: "My most accomplished thing? My greatest pride in my life is to fucking knock Liverpool off the horse!"
The hatred between these two teams is evident.
When Manchester United players and Liverpool players met on the court, they both regarded each other as mortal enemies.
Chen Yingxiong spent two years in Liverpool and developed his own perception of Manchester United - a powerful opponent. If he can beat them, it will be a very fulfilling thing. It would be even better if they could really end their dominance of the Premier League.
Ferguson believed that his proudest thing was to overthrow Liverpool. Now it is the turn of Liverpool people to think so.
When Dalglish signed a three-year contract with Liverpool, some local Liverpool media hailed this as Liverpool's restoration, but Ferguson dismissed it: "In this league, they will find that it is not easy to win the championship."
Facts have proved his statement correct. Liverpool, led by Dalglish, was disgraced and only won the most inconsequential League Cup title. Dalgliesh also left get out of class dejectedly.
But starting from this season, Ferguson may not be able to maintain his disdain and sense of superiority.
Because since last season, Liverpool have proven their ability. They have the strength to threaten Manchester United!
If it weren't for the distraction of the Europa League last season, it's hard to say whether Manchester United would still be able to win the championship if Liverpool played their best in the league!

Liverpool's promotional video came out soon and was put on the official website for fans to watch and download. Some people also downloaded the video and put it on yo冇utu冇
e on. Because of Chen Yingxiong’s extremely provocative line, it triggered a big quarrel between Manchester United and Liverpool fans under the video. Both sides greeted each other’s mothers with words. Of course, Chen Yingxiong’s family members were also lying in the middle. Shot.
A reporter who was interested ran to ask Ferguson what he thought of the video. Ferguson was still full of disdain: "Overthrow Manchester United? Thank you for coming here to tell me such a joke!"
Although there was disdain in his words, Ferguson did not dare to neglect. In fact, almost all of his preparations revolved around Liverpool. In this season's Premier League, Ferguson believes that Manchester United's biggest enemy is not a strong rise. Manchester City, but Liverpool, which is gradually recovering. Compared with Manchester City, Liverpool has connotation and foundation. It is the most terrifying when such a team breaks out.
One thing that proves Ferguson's emphasis on Liverpool is that in this summer's transfer market, Manchester United targeted Liverpool almost everywhere.
When Liverpool bought Baird, he planned to interfere. Even if he couldn't buy Baird, he couldn't let his mortal enemy buy him so easily. However, Chen Yingxiong's influence is greater than him.
Later, among the teams that competed with Liverpool for Shaheen, there was also Manchester United, and Manchester United seemed to really want to get Shaheen, rather than just disgusting Liverpool. Scholes retired for the second time. The team needs someone in the midfield who can connect the whole team. Shaheen is a good choice.
But this time, Shaheen had Harvey Alonso recommending him behind him, so he finally chose Liverpool.
Van der Wiel is also Sir Alex's target. But in the end it was still snatched away by Liverpool.
These three things made Ferguson very angry. He scolded his club's officials responsible for transfer mistakes as incompetent. Not even Liverpool’s general manager Niang can compare!
In the transfer market, Liverpool beat Manchester United 3:0. Ferguson therefore raised Liverpool's threat level to another level in his mind.
Although Manchester City was also recruiting players, he just ignored them. This may be due to a deep-rooted stubbornness. He despises opponents like Manchester City from the bottom of his heart. He looks down on opponents like Liverpool on the surface, but in fact he takes them very seriously.

Ferguson needs to prove that his team is still the ruler and king of the Premier League, and he has a good opportunity, which is the Community Shield.
In the Community Shield of the 2013-2014 season, Manchester United defeated last season's FA Cup champion West Ham United with a score of 3:1. Another collection has been added to Ferguson's honor.
Manchester United is also demonstrating to Liverpool in this way - have you seen our state? Want to overthrow us? Go ahead and daydream!

Although the international transfer market has not yet closed when the new Premier League season begins, for Liverpool, there are only so many players they need to introduce this season. At present, Liverpool is relatively stable, and their transfer strategy has begun to focus on quality rather than quantity. It is not about having more soldiers, but about quality.
So in fact Liverpool will not introduce any more players.
In this context, Chen Yingxiong paid for everyone to hold an open-air party in his yard. It was a welcome ceremony for the new players to join the team, enhance everyone's feelings, and let the new players have a sense of belonging to this group. .
This job should have been done by the captain, but Chen Yingxiong is now considered the captain. Although he does not wear the captain's armband most of the time, in the locker room, even Van der Veer, who joined the team last, knows that Chen Yingxiong Words carry weight.
This is the third time Chen Yingxiong has held this kind of pre-season team party, and it has gradually become one of Liverpool's traditions.
This party is mainly for teammates to get familiar with each other, so new players will definitely be teased.
In fact, many teams have this tradition of welcoming new teammates. For example, Chelsea requires new players to stand on the table and sing. However, an interesting fact is that Benayoun, the player who transferred from Liverpool to Chelsea, sang the Liverpool team song "You'll Never Walk Alone" when he sang on the stage. As a result, before he finished singing, he was kicked down by his teammates...
The idea of teasing people this time was Chen Yingxiong's idea, so you can imagine... how miserable the three new players who joined the team were tortured...
Although it was a struggle, I got to know the players of this team better in a joking and joyful atmosphere, and the relationship became more harmonious amidst the joking.
Chen Yingxiong still pays attention to propriety. He neither makes everyone feel bored nor makes his new teammates feel excessive.
After all the fun, it’s time to get down to business.
On August 16, 2013, Liverpool challenged Sunderland away. This was their first league game of the new season.
From then on, Liverpool began their restoration.

Manchester United used a Community Shield match to declare that they still dominate the Premier League.
Of course Liverpool knew this was a demonstration against them, so how could they not respond?
The first round of the league started with an away game, which was not very easy to play, but Liverpool still won the game. This is the answer to Manchester United!
Chen Yingxiong opened the scoring for the team in the seventh minute, scoring Liverpool's first league goal this season and also scoring his first league goal this season.
The person who assisted him was Gareth Bale, who only joined the team this season! He used his speed to break through from the wing and then sent a cross. Chen Yingxiong jumped high and headed the football into the Sunderland goal with his head.
The narrator shouted: "There is really no suspense at all! When the hero leaps high, all you can do is look up!"
After scoring the goal, Chen Yingxiong and Bell hugged each other. Although the two are not good friends yet, the abilities of Bell and Chen Yingxiong were the main reason for this goal.
Now that they are so fierce, what if the relationship between the two people upgrades and they become friends, and the talent "because of friendship" comes into play?
This is really a chilling question...

Chen Yingxiong's goal so quickly is what Martin O'Neill is pursuing. He has repeatedly emphasized this summer that it is the result of the continuous training of the Liverpool team.
He asked Liverpool's players to get into the game faster than their opponents and to be more focused.
In this way, when opportunities come, they can seize them faster than their opponents.
Chen Yingxiong scored first, and everything was a rhythm that Liverpool was familiar with in training. The game quickly got into Liverpool's orbit.
Gerrard then used a long shot to blast open Sunderland's door.
This game has lost its suspense.
Although Sunderland got a goal back at the end of the game, it had nothing to do with the overall situation, because Liverpool had already led 3:0 before that, and the person who scored the third goal for the team was Sanchez.
In the end, Liverpool won the Black Cats in this game and got a good start in the league.
