Volume One: Heroes Appear, People Pay Attention Chapter 180: Commemoration of the Hero’s Return (Fourth Update, Please Vote for Me!)

The Guangzhou Champions League, the highest level football competition today, has completely surpassed the World Cup. As far as the gold content of the final is concerned, it has already surpassed the World Cup final.

As a football player, the chance of participating in the World Cup is not great, but there is still a chance to participate in the Champions League finals every year. The Champions League has almost become the highest honor for a professional player, especially for those players who cannot participate in the World Cup. The Champions League is the World Cup for them.

Ukrainian player Shevchenko, who previously played for AC Milan, once said: "For me, the Champions League final is my World Cup final!" At that time, he had just defeated Juventus in the final on behalf of Milan. Lifted the 2003 Champions League trophy, and then he led AC

He returned to his hometown with this trophy and brought it to the grave of his mentor Lobalovsky to comfort his mentor.

At that time, Ukraine's strength in the football world was not yet top-notch. Except for a few stars, it was never able to participate in the World Cup. It was Shevchenko's prime years, the golden years of professional football. At that time, Ukraine had no hope of reaching the World Cup. Shevchenko was very pessimistic and felt that he would never have the chance to participate in the World Cup in his lifetime. Unexpectedly, three years later, he would lead Ukraine to the World Cup in Germany.

The same is true for Chen Yingxiong today. Because of the tense relationship with the Domestic Sports General Administration and the Football Association, he felt that he might never have the chance to represent the Chinese national team in the World Cup in his life, so he had long since given up on the World Cup dream that many players have had.

For him, having lost the opportunity to showcase himself on the important stage of the World Cup, the equally high-level Champions League became the only stage. No matter what the league is, even the first league in Europe like the Premier League has regional characteristics. Some people like to watch Serie A, some are supporters of the Bundesliga, and some people think that La Liga is the first league in Europe. These people Maybe they all disdain the Premier League, and naturally they won’t pay attention to Premier League games.

But the Champions League is not all bad. Anyone who knows the importance of the Champions League will of course value the Champions League. So if a player performs outstandingly in the Champions League, he will soon become famous around the world.

It has been two full years, and Chen Yingxiong has not been able to appear in the top arena in today's world football because he chose to join Liverpool, a team that has not qualified for the Champions League in the past two seasons. The team finished second in the league last season and finally obtained this qualification.

Chen Yingxiong, the super center who once amazed the entire Champions League and frightened all participating teams, also announced his return.

Before the first group match of the Champions League, Chen Yingxiong chose a particularly unique way to celebrate this memorable day.

He got a tattoo.

It's been a long time since he got a tattoo. After initially tattooing a giant bear on his back, he tattooed the Chinese characters for "Beware of Bears" on his neck and a bear head symbol on his left arm.

Then there were no new tattoos added to his body.

Now he went to a tattoo shop to have a Champions League trophy silhouette tattooed on his right upper arm.

The tattoo is not big, it is small, and it does not look very eye-catching.

But the observant reporters still discovered the clues.

After a training session, Chen Yingxiong came out wearing a sleeveless T-shirt and accepted photos and autographs from the players on the sidelines.

Then the sharp-eyed media discovered the tattoo on his arm. In fact, it is really difficult to say whether Chen Yingxiong deliberately let others discover his new tattoo...

For a star like him, really anything can become news and be featured in various media. Things like tattoos are naturally of great concern to everyone. In the eyes of many traditional Chinese people, tattoos are done by scumbags like gangsters, gangsters, and gangsters. However, in Europe and the United States, tattooing has become an art, and many outstanding tattooists are just like artists.

The bald tattoo artist who originally tattooed a giant bear on Chen Yingxiong's back has become a famous tattoo artist in St. Petersburg and even Russia because of this incident. People come to him for tattoos in an endless stream. Absolutely, the business is countless times better than before. Even now, the photo of Chen Yingxiong taking off his shirt after scoring a goal and showing the camera his back tattoo is still hung high above the store to show off his tattoos to all the customers who come here. craft.

So when interviewing Chen Yingxiong next, everyone mentioned the new tattoo on Chen Yingxiong’s arm.

"Oh, this." Chen Yingxiong tilted his head. "This is my new tattoo."

"Does it have any special meaning, hero?" "No, it just means that I won the Champions League once, it's like a record..." "Then why is the tattoo so small...it's not eye-catching at all. "

In everyone's opinion, tattoos must be conspicuous and can be seen at a glance, so that they have meaning. For such an impressive achievement like the Champions League, with Chen Yingxiong’s character, it’s only right that he should have it tattooed on his chest, from his chin to his lower abdomen.

Why does he have such a small tattoo on his right arm?

"I can only get this tattoo when I'm young. It's not like I can only win one championship. I have to leave enough space for the Champions League trophy in the future..." What Chen Yingxiong said left the other party stunned!

I dare you to think about more Champions League trophies!

This is really arrogant to a certain level. It may seem low-key, but in fact it is truly arrogant!

Just looking at the size relationship between his trophy tattoo and his arm, you can tell that two or three trophies are definitely not enough to satisfy him...

Is Chen Yingxiong so sure that he can win so many Champions League trophies in his career?

You need to know about things like the Champions League championship. For many players, it is great if they can win just one in their entire career. Those who can win two or three are considered great.

As for more than four times, they are basically legendary players.

The player with the most Champions League titles in history is Gento of Real Madrid. He has won the Champions League six times, five of which were consecutive.

Then there are Paolo Maldini and Costacurta, who have won five Champions League titles. These two legendary AC Milan defenders won the championship at exactly the same time. Five Champions League winners include Di Stefano, as well as his Real Madrid teammates Juan Sandestian, Hector Legia, Juan Alonso, Rafael Lesmes, Marques Toss, José María Záraga. These eight Real Madrid players are all players from the period when Real Madrid won five consecutive Champions League titles.

Next came Seedorf's four Champions League titles.

Counting further down, it will be three or two times.

Now that Seedorf has retired, there is no player in today's football who can win the Champions League four times.

In today's football, the person closest to Seedorf is Messi, who has won the Champions League trophy three times.

Looking at the posture, Chen Yingxiong's goal is not to catch up with Messi, but to catch up with those legendary figures in history.

The next day, many media outlets took advantage of reporting on Chen Yingxiong's tattoo and ran a "Return of the Hero" feature.

For many people, Chen Yingxiong's return means that the competition for the Champions League this season will be more intense. Many people are even looking forward to the return of the hero.

Think he is the key third person who can break the balance.

For a long time, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi have controlled the mainstream competition in the Champions League. Awards such as top scorer and best player basically rotate between the two of them.

Messi led Barcelona to the championship last season. He also won the Champions League top scorer and the UEFA Ballon d'Or that season. Cristiano Ronaldo reached the top with Real Madrid last season and he also became this season's UEFA Ballon d'Or winner.

And Barcelona and Real Madrid, who have both of them, are not only Western Premier League teams, but also "European Super League" teams. Their strength far exceeds that of other giants. They are already the giants among the giants, super giants. .

This situation is too boring. Anyway, either Real Madrid wins or Barcelona wins. Many teams were already timid before playing against them and had no ability to fight back.

Anyway, everyone doesn’t want to see a situation where one company dominates. Even if two companies dominate, it’s not interesting. It just changed from one [answer] answer to two [answer] answers, the difference is not big.

Now everyone is happy to see Chen Yingxiong's Liverpool return, and everyone places their hope of breaking the balance on Chen Yingxiong and his Liverpool.

They all want to see what kind of surprises this team and this person can bring them, and what kind of troubles he can stir up in this stagnant water.

“…The hero’s return, two seasons of silence, has almost made people forget about the man who scored 13 goals in seven Champions League knockout games, completed a shocking reversal in the top scorer list, and not only defeated Messi, but also defeated Barcelona. Super center, but now he is back! He used to wear a blue Naples jersey, but now he has changed his club, wearing a red Liverpool jersey, and returned to the stage he was most familiar with... Everyone is looking forward to him With his performance, he became the top scorer in the first time he participated in the Champions League. He only played half a season in the second time he participated in the Champions League and defended the top scorer title. We even have every reason to guess that if he does not transfer, he will not have the right to participate in the Champions League. Liverpool, can he continue his legend as the top scorer... It is a pity that the two-year gap has made this possibility a thing of the past. Now, he is back again, with a record-breaking thirty European games last season. The goal proves to the world that the unparalleled hero is about to take the stage!"! .
