Volume 1: The Hero Appears, People Pay Attention Chapter 203: Fighting for the First Place in the Group (Third Update, Please Give Me a Monthly Vote)

In the end, Liverpool defeated Bolton 3:1 away with Chen Yingxiong's hat trick, and won 12 of their 13 league games this season. This is a very scary data.

This season's Premier League has been played for 13 rounds. Liverpool ranks first with 36 points. The second place is the arch-rival Manchester United, who are currently four points behind Liverpool with 32 points. The third place is Manchester City. Although losing to Liverpool at home is very demoralizing, Manchester City can still regain confidence from the weak opponent. They currently have 30 points. [..com]

The fourth place in the league is Newcastle, which has emerged this season, with 28 points.

Basically, the top four in the league are like this.

It can be seen that Liverpool has a huge advantage. It is four points ahead of the second place, and it is as many as eight points ahead of the fourth place Newcastle.

If this situation continues, Liverpool is likely to win the Premier League championship this season in advance.

Many media have begun to brag about Liverpool's great revival.

They have boasted many times before, and all of them were slapped in the face by cruel reality.

This time seems to be the closest to the truth.

Of course, there are people who are not optimistic about Liverpool everywhere. Their reason is that it is normal to show color after the start of the league. The real test of a team's strength and foundation lies in the devilish schedule of Christmas and the two periods after the Champions League resumes in February next year.

Whether a team can survive many tests and finally successfully win the Premier League championship trophy, these two periods are very important.

They don't believe that Liverpool can pass the test safely.

So it is too early to say that Liverpool has successfully overthrown Manchester United's rule and ushered in a great revival.

Football is a sport where the result is unknown until the last second. The same is true for a long season. Maybe you don't know who the final winner is until the last round.

Their doubts did not make Martin O'Neill unhappy. On the contrary, he felt the same way.

Although Liverpool's performance is good now, Martin O'Neill is actually under great pressure. He lost to Chelsea before and ushered in the first defeat in the league. In fact, it relieved his pressure a little.

Now every game makes him nervous, for fear of losing. He is worried that once he loses, the energy and good luck will disappear with smoke...

But if he keeps winning like this, he is also very scared. Because it's unscientific!

He didn't know that the victory in these games had a lot to do with the high-spirited Chen Yingxiong.

He didn't know why Chen Yingxiong was in such a good state. In today's society, everyone is a person who likes new things and dislikes old things. No matter how hot the focus topic is, it will be ignored after a long time. So now it is not common to see voices questioning Chen Yingxiong in the media. And the media are not stupid. Chen Yingxiong has performed so well during this period. What do they have to question? If they come out to question Chen Yingxiong at this time, it is purely talking nonsense with open eyes, which belongs to the grudge between people.

The next is the home game against Fulham in the 14th round of the league. Considering the Champions League in the next week, Martin O'Neill decided to rotate.

Now the Champions League group stage is the top priority.

This rotation has a problem. Liverpool was tied by Fulham at home!

This is really beyond many people's expectations.

Although Chen Yingxiong scored a goal at the beginning of the game, the tenacious Fulham still equalized the score in the 79th minute. In the end, Liverpool could only accept the result of being tied 1:1 by Fulham at home...

Fulham tied, while Manchester United won the game. The points gap between the two sides was shortened to two points!

The media's wind direction suddenly changed. Before, they were all optimistic about Liverpool winning the league championship, but now they are scrambling to sing praises for Manchester United...

Martin O'Neill doesn't bother to pay attention to those fence-sitters, and he doesn't care about the media's opinions.

The Champions League group stage is more important.

Now Liverpool has the same points as Valencia in this group.

However, the two teams are tied in terms of win-loss relationship, and the goal difference is also tied. Liverpool temporarily surpassed Valencia and ranked first in the group by relying on the away goal advantage in the match between the two sides.

It can be said that the advantage of the first place in this group is quite weak. I don't know when it will be gone.

In addition, Feyenoord has six points behind Paris Saint-Germain and ranks third, only three points away from the top two.

Feyenoord has the strength to complete a big reversal in the last two group matches and bring down one of Liverpool or Valencia.

Only Paris Saint-Germain has lost four games in four matches and has bid farewell to the knockout stage of this season's Champions League in advance. But because of this, this team should not be underestimated. Because they can fight for honor in the last two rounds to win the French Ligue 1 championship last season, but this season's Champions League group stage journey is so embarrassing, four games and four losses, which is really a disgrace to Paris Saint-Germain's reputation... For their convenience, Paris Saint-Germain is likely to burst out with huge energy in the last two rounds of group matches to knock down all opponents who dare to despise them and think they are soft persimmons.

So Liverpool's last two group matches are not much easier than the match with Valencia.

This is also why Martin O'Neill would rather rotate in the league to ensure that all the main players can appear in the game against Paris Saint-Germain.

In the fifth round of the group stage, Liverpool played against Paris Saint-Germain at home. This is an opportunity, because Liverpool played at home, and they had to seize the opportunity to beat Paris Saint-Germain to lay the foundation for the team to qualify for the group and qualify as the first in the group.

This game must be won.

The head coach really took a lot of effort and brains. As a player, Chen Yingxiong would never think so much before the game, analyzing his own situation and the opponent's situation. He only knew one thing, one goal and victory, and then all problems would be gone!

This game is the same.

Paris Saint-Germain has lost four games, so what's wrong with losing one more? Do you want to defend your dignity and fight for honor? Sure, we will leave the last group match for you to defend.

The opponent happened to be Valencia. If we defend them, we will be the first in the group!

The day before the game with Paris Saint-Germain was another Champions League game.

Messi's Barcelona swept Benfica 5:1, and Messi scored twice in the game!

The commentators all knew about the competition between Messi and Chen Yingxiong. After Messi scored twice, they shouted, "This is Messi's eighth goal in the Champions League this season! For the first time, he surpassed Yingxiong and ranked first in the scorer list!" "Faced with Yingxiong's aggressive offensive, Messi did not back down, but bravely faced it! He proved his strength with his actual actions!" "The two world's top shooters staged a wonderful match on the highest level stage of the Champions League. Messi scored eight goals and Yingxiong scored seven goals. For ordinary people like us, it is a great honor to be able to see the competition between these two superstars! Years later, we can also proudly say, "I have seen that classic and earth-shaking peak showdown! ”

Chen Yingxiong did not watch this game. Of course, he would not watch Barcelona’s game.

He was surfing the Internet in his hotel room with a notebook. He was browsing Twitter and Weibo in China to see if there was anything new and funny. He was enjoying the feeling of being surrounded by a large group of fans on the Internet.

Life is so comfortable, why bother watching Barcelona’s game to make yourself bored?

Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.

Chen Yingxiong ran to open the door and found that it was Suarez standing outside.

Seeing Chen Yingxiong, he first looked at the TV and found that the screen was black and it was not turned on at all.

“Huh? You didn’t watch the game?” “What game?”

“The game between Barcelona and Benfica!”

Chen Yingxiong shrugged: “I’m not their fan. Why watch their game?” Suarez guessed Chen Yingxiong’s thoughts, and he coughed: “Cough, then I officially inform you that the person you hate the most has surpassed you!” Upon hearing this, Chen Yingxiong became excited and asked: “How many goals did he score?”

“Two goals. "Suarez raised two fingers, like a "V" symbol for victory.

Chen Yingxiong rubbed his chin and pondered: "It seems that I have to get a hat trick tomorrow at least......"Suarez rolled his eyes: "You are too arrogant, can you get a hat trick whenever you want? I think you only need to score twice. Anyway, let's keep him down with one goal, so that he can't turn over! Keep giving him hope, but always let him despair at the critical moment, how great! Hahaha!"

This idea is very good, and it also fits Suarez's aesthetic taste, but Chen Yingxiong shook his head and denied Suarez's idea: "No! Doing so will only make people think that our strengths are similar. This is not the result I want. I want everyone to know that he and I are not on the same level at all! So we must get rid of him! Let him eat the dust behind my ass! ”

Messi's double goal irritated Chen Yingxiong. He reflected on it and felt that he seemed to be slack in two games. At the beginning, he scored five goals in two games, but how many goals did Messi have? Only two goals!

As a result, he only scored one goal in the next two games against Valencia. This allowed Messi to catch up.

He could have left Messi far behind early, but now he is being closely chased by the opponent...

This is absolutely unbearable!

Suarez saw the changing expression on Chen Yingxiong's face and knew that Chen Yingxiong was really irritated this time and planned to kill.

He began to pray silently for Paris Saint-Germain in his heart.

It seems that you have chosen the wrong opponent for your battle of glory!
