Martin. O'Neill was indeed frightened, and not lightly ().

At first, he thought that he had misheard, the plane was a little noisy, but Chen Yingying was face to face with him, and he spoke loudly, he heard it clearly, and every word was not wrong.

Chen Yingying said that he wants to score at least 20 goals in the Europa League this season!

"Are you crazy?" He blurted out the words.

Then he realized that it was inappropriate to say that it was wrong to say this about his players, and tried to explain: "Uh...... I mean you're crazy, hero......"

Chen Yingying has long been accustomed to this kind of reaction from others. When I first expressed this idea to the members of the Eat, Drink and Fun Group, I received the same response.

He didn't take O'Neill's words to heart and explained his thoughts to the manager.

After listening, O'Neill's mouth opened wide and couldn't close.

It took him a while to recover.

"You mean...... You're going to surpass Messi? Just because Messi scored eighteen goals in the Champions League last season, you have to score at least twenty goals in the Europa League this season? O'Neill repeated the main points of Chen Yingying's words in a suspicious tone.

Chen Yingying nodded.

"That...... Why do you have such thoughts, hero? I mean...... Well, beyond the idea of Messi. ”

"It's simple, because I want to be the number one in the world!" Chen Yingying gave a thumbs up and pointed at himself.

This reason makes Chen Yingying speak confidently, Martin. O'Neill didn't know what to do for a while.

Because of this reason, I always feel that it shouldn't appear in reality, it's too tall and too distant, it's more like something that appears in movies and other literary and artistic works.

What "our journey is the sea of stars", what "dominates the country", what "to become an invincible man in the world"......

In reality, if you hear someone say this, eighty percent of them will be disdainfully scolded by others for being a psychopath, a madman, an idiot, or a sensationalizer or something......

However, with his understanding of Chen Yingying, he knows that Chen Yingying is not a psychopath, nor is he a madman or idiot, and he doesn't do anything to grandstand, hype...... Nor is it necessary.

That is, he is serious?

"Are you serious, hero?" O'Neill asked.

Chen Yingying nodded: "Of course, otherwise why do you see why I am desperately scoring goals this season?" ”

Chen Yingying did not tell O'Neill that scoring 20 goals in the Europa League was only part of a mission called "old enemy".

Martin. O'Neill thought about it carefully and realized that this was really the case.

He had felt that Chen Yingying's state was particularly good before, and he had vaguely thought about whether it was a little abnormal to be so good, but he didn't delve into this problem, after all, Chen Yingying was in good condition, and it was he who benefited. Now after being broken by Chen Yingying, he found that Chen Yingying's state was really too good to be true......

"Are you here to surpass Messi?"

"yes." Chen Yingying shrugged. "So, I've got to play at home against Grika, boss. If you look at the whole group stage, I've only scored 10 goals so far......"

O'Neill rolled his eyes in his heart and said in his heart: What does it mean to "just score" ten goals? Don't you look at how many goals you're behind in second place in the current Europa League scorer list ()!

"I didn't have any problems with my fitness, really boss. When have you ever seen me run out of energy on the pitch? Actually, let's be honest, rotation really doesn't work for me, you just let me play all seventy games and I won't get tired, boss. ”

Martin. O'Neill thought about it seriously, it was true, he thought that Chen Yingying always did this trapeze days, flying back and forth between England and Italy, which would affect his physical fitness and condition. But he actually responded with more goals and better performances.

It's too unconvincing to talk about physical fitness......

Since Chen Yingying is not really trying to challenge his own authority, but to pursue "world first", Martin. O'Neill has no reason to make things difficult for Chen Yingying. It would be too much for a manager to prevent his players from improving. Who doesn't want their players to have such ambitions and compete for the first place? In that case, the strength of the team will be greatly improved.

So he couldn't refuse Chen Yingying's request.

He nodded, "Okay, I'll start you." ”

Chen Yingying smiled.

"But I want to ask, how long will it take you to get there?"

"My plan is to make it to the final." Chen Yingying said.

"And then?"

"Take a championship and come back."

Martin. O'Neill's heart said: I know!

"But it's very difficult." He said.

"I know, that's why I'm going to give it a try, boss. Who is rare if the difficulty is too small? ”

"Do you have faith?"

Chen Yingying didn't answer this question immediately, but looked at his head coach: "It depends on whether the boss supports me or not." ”

Martin. O'Neill didn't speak, but looked at Chen Yingying. After the two looked at each other for a while, he smiled and shook his head: "You've given me another problem, hero ......"

"Boss, don't you like champions?"

"Who doesn't like that? But do what you can......"

"It's okay, boss. Give it a try. Even if we fail, then we have accumulated experience. "Chen Yingying's words are vibrant.

O'Neill was defeated by him, because what Chen Yingying said did make sense. Liverpool can't always be on the front line, and they can't always give up some chances to win the title in order to go all out for a title. This is not a characteristic of the giants. The giants have as many championships as they have to win as many championships, triple crowns, five crowns, six crowns or something, the more the merrier.

Although the depth of the bench is not enough at the moment, Liverpool can try it at this time to accumulate some experience for the players.

"Well, hero, you managed to convince me. I decided to think about it in the second half of the season. ”

Chen Yingying smiled.

One of the most important things of the season was that he finally told the manager and got his support. There's nothing to worry about now, just work hard to score goals.

He returned to his seat. Suarez leaned over and asked, "How's it going?" ”

Chen Yingying made an "ok" gesture.

"That's it!"

Suarez slapped him: "Good job ()!" Now, we can spread our legs and rush! ”

"Hmmm! Surprise the whole of Europe! Chen Yingying clenched his fists.

Back to the league, Martin. O'Neill continued to stick to his rotation, and Chen also continued to sit on the bench. Although Chen Yingying has been with Martin. O'Neill agreed, but they agreed on the Europa League, not that there would be no rotation in the league.

In the league, the rotation should be used to continue the rotation.

The result of the rotation was a shock defeat to Norwich City away from home. The team lost 1-3, and Krasnić, who returned from injury, scored a face-saving goal for the team.

Liverpool, who lost the game, fell to second place, and the first place was retaken by Manchester City, who had a good momentum.

After the game Martin. O'Neal insists there's nothing wrong with his rotation: "It's impossible for a team to not lose a game a season, that's normal at the moment...... Is there anything bad about second in the league? I'm happy with the current situation of the team. ”

It's not a dead duck, and anyone who experienced Liverpool's poor performance last season would agree with Martin. O'Neill's words, because even if this Liverpool team loses to Norwich, who are thirteenth in the league, and loses the first place in the league, it will be much better than last season......

Last season, the team lost one game and is likely to lose a second one. And this season, even if you lose a game, it is not a big deal for everyone, and Liverpool can still play decently in the next round of the league.

All were full of confidence. There's a saying that gets all said badly, but it really applies to Liverpool today – losing a game is not the end of the world.

On the 14th, Liverpool welcomed the final game of the Europa League group stage on their home turf, and Fish Belly Glicka will be their opponent ().

Before the game, everyone analyzed that Martin. O'Neal will make a big rotation, all the main players should be able to rest, and the players on the field are all second-team players.

Even Reina, the main goalkeeper who can't be beaten, has to sit on the bench.

There are even media outlets giving advice to Liverpool's players – what do you do when you're too bored to watch a game from the bench? They can use their smartphones or tablets to play Angry Birds or Plants vs. Zombies, and they can also bring snacks to eat, and melon seeds are recommended.

This shows the attitude towards the game – almost no one sees it as a Europa League game, more like an outing.

The result of the game doesn't matter, and even then, few would think that Liverpool can afford to lose at home to a team from Slovenia. Liverpool can beat them without much effort even with the second team.

Liverpool's media disdain naturally provoked the anger of the entire Glicka team.

Even though we are the weakest team in this group, and although we have been eliminated, we are still dignified!

As the runner-up team of Slovenia, how can you allow us to be humiliated so much! Don't think that you are a big team in England, you can be so disrespectful to your opponents, get too carried away and be careful to kick the stones!

You can ignore us and laugh at us so loudly now...... But we will make you pay! As you know, fish belly also has a few teeth!

In this way, the angry Glicka players set foot at Anfield, Liverpool's home stadium.

As they passed the "This is Anfield" placard, they looked up at the metal nameplate with anger. The anger in his eyes seemed to melt this famous brand away......!
