Chapter 247: Envy, Jealousy, and Hate (The First Request for a Monthly Pass)
The first game after the international break is not the league, but the FA Cup.
This time, Chen Yingying was called over to talk in advance by O'Neill.
Tell him he won't let him in this game. Because the league and the Champions League are coming up soon, the team can't afford to be distracted at this time. As the FA Cup progresses, getting closer to the semi-finals, the opponents are getting stronger and more important, and the game will be more motivating, which will increase the risk of injury to Chen Yingxing, but also increase the cost - the whole team needs to put in more energy to prepare for an FA Cup game.
For this competition, which was not planned in the first place, Martin. O'Neill didn't think it was worth it.
So he hopes that Chen Yingying will continue to rest and not participate in the FA Cup.
Although Chen Yingying was reluctant in his heart, he still agreed with Martin. O'Neill's request.
In the fifth round of the FA Cup, Liverpool met Newcastle.
Martin. O'Neill fielded an all-reserve lineup.
The players of the reserve team found out that Chen Yingying did not appear this time, and it was already
。 With the league in full swing and the Champions League knockout rounds in full swing, Chen is too young to help them qualify for the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.
Or in other words, they have already been abandoned......
This was a serious blow to the morale of the reserves.
After these FA Cup games, everyone has become accustomed to the feeling of Chen Yingying being with them. It's as if they were members of the first team, or Chen Yingying became a reserve player.
The thought of being able to fight side by side with Chen Yingying made them full of fighting spirit.
But now, the situation they had been fearing for a long time had finally arrived......
Only then did they realize that they were just reserve players, and Chen Yingying and them were not actually in the same group......
This blow to morale is very serious.
In the face of Newcastle, which is not weak, how can Liverpool, which is playing in the full reserves, resist the opponent's offensive?
In the end, Liverpool's reserve team was beaten 4-1 by Newcastle in the FA Cup. Eliminated from the FA Cup.
The reserve squad players who lost the FA Cup looked sad, but O'Neill didn't care. In his post-match press conference, he pretended to regret his exit. Then he said his true intentions: "It's a shame to be eliminated, but then we have to fight for better results in the domestic league and the Champions League. ”
A lot of nonsense was said earlier, all for the sake of this sentence. And so many FA Cup games in front of him were all paving the way for this defeat.
In fact, since Chen Yingying did not appear in the squad for this game, everyone is all
。 Against Newcastle, Liverpool's reserves are unlikely to pull off any miracles.
Newcastle breathed a sigh of relief - Alain. Paton also sent the strongest lineup to deal with Chen Yingying, but he didn't expect Chen Yingying to come.
This result is not surprising.
The FA Cup has a long history and is still very high in the minds of fans. But after Liverpool lost this game. Fans didn't blame the team's performance, or O'Neal's choice.
Because at this time, everyone's mind is on the league. This season has been Liverpool's best in more than two decades in the Premier League and they are really keen to win the league title.
For the league title, Liverpool fans are clearly more hungry. In comparison, it is not uncommon to have won the FA Cup many times.
※ ※ ※
If you lose the Ancestral Cup, you will lose, it's not a big deal, and no one will care specifically about how the group of players in the reserve team feels.
They were meant to be a forgotten bunch. They are made up of first-team exiles and new players from the youth team.
And compared to them. The next round of the league is more important. Opponents are also more worth paying attention to.
Liverpool will host Manchester City at home.
This is the strongest opponent Chen Yingying has encountered since he announced that he is scheduled to win the Premier League.
Manchester City are now third in the league, just two points off second-placed Manchester United and 12 points behind Liverpool. It's a six-point game, and if City can beat Liverpool away from home, they can boost their points while also being able to halt Liverpool's progress.
In addition, this match is also of historical significance for Chen Yingying - for him who is already standing on the threshold of a new record, if he can score in this game, he can become the first player in history to score in 17 consecutive games in the top flight! Beyond the bomber Gade. Muller. Be the first in history!
It has a double meaning, and everyone is concerned.
Before the game, as is customary, it is first of all the time for the players, coaches, and celebrities of both sides to spit on each other.
Before fighting, they always have to yell at each other for a while, and when they arouse anger, they can fight. The same goes for football, as one of the oldest sports. Football also perpetuates the primordial breath of human beings.
Before the game, yelling at each other to boost morale and at the same time hit each other's fighting spirit, how nice it is.
Aguero was the first to jump out to provoke, and his remarks also kicked off a war of words between the two sides.
In the others have equalized Gade with sixteen consecutive goals against Chen Hero. Muller's record was full of praise at the time. Aguero scoffed at this.
'I don't think sixteen consecutive games are a big deal at the moment, it's clear that Liverpool's tactic is to score heroes at all costs. Look at how many goals they've scored as a team this season. How many goals the hero scored by himself, it can be understood. I can do it, but I don't sacrifice my teammates for my goals......"
What he meant was that Chen Yingying, you sacrificed the team's score to achieve you, what do you have to be proud of? What do you have to be complacent? You steal someone else's goal. Are you embarrassed to take it as an honor? You're not sorry!
This is a heart-wrenching argument.
There are really good people who run to look through the information and find out. So far this season, Liverpool have scored a total of 75 goals and are the most attacking force in the Premier League. How much did Chen Yingying enter alone? Thirty-eight!
That is to say, except for Chen Yingying, the other Liverpool players added up to score...... Thirty-seven goals, the whole team does not add up to more than Chen Yingying alone!
And how many assists does he have? So far this season...... It's the poor four.
want
He was the only player in Europe to have two double-doubles in both attack and assist that season, the other being Lionel Messi.
In such a comparison, everyone thinks that what Aguero said seems to have some truth......
Chen's assists this season have shrunk significantly. The number of goals scored has increased dramatically. What does this mean? It shows that he has become more selfish, choosing to shoot himself more when he has the ball, rather than passing to teammates in better positions.
Others cited new evidence – Chen has 150 shots so far, an average of six shots per game, both figures are the highest in the Premier League, and he has 49 more shots than Hulk, who has the second most shots on goal.
What does this mean? It shows that Chen Yingying has "unlimited firing rights" in the Liverpool team.
Although Martin. O'Neill didn't say that, but he did.
In the Liverpool team, everybody
。 Only Chen Yingying has the power to shoot no matter what the situation, even if he shoots in waves, others can't blame him. The number of shots on goal must be guaranteed to guarantee the number of goals.
The end point of all attacks is Chen Yingying, no matter who it is, in the end, as long as there is a chance, they must pass the football to Chen Yingying. It was up to Chen Yingying to complete the shot.
Enjoy so many privileges. He scored 38 goals in a season and scored in 16 consecutive rounds, which is naturally a normal thing. No wonder Aguero is not convinced, he does not have the "unlimited right to fire" like Chen Yingying in the Manchester City team, and he still has to participate in defense, what about Chen Yingying? At Liverpool, he never defended. If he's involved defensively, he's in a good mood......
In the end, everyone came to the conclusion that Chen Yingying's neatness is indeed a bit "invincible". “…… Aguero does have good reason to be dismissive of Chen's achievements. Because Chen Yingying enjoys too many privileges...... 'unlimited firing rights', no need to return to defense, and the end of the team's offense...... These are things that only he can enjoy. We've looked the whole of the Premier League and no one has the privilege of him...... Behind the sixteen consecutive rounds of goals, it is actually the self-sacrifice of the entire Liverpool to support him alone. Liverpool do need a hero right now, and no one is better suited than the arrogant Chen Hung Hung to boost the confidence of Liverpool fans and give them hope for the team's future...... This is actually also Martin. O'Neill's helplessness, but it's actually a deformed tactic...... The hero is still the hero who can do anything. But the record built up with this kind of wave shooting, it doesn't matter, it shouldn't become the norm for the team. How to build the whole team and let the heroes better play their strengths, this should be Martin. The ...... that O'Neill considers"
At last. So says the outlet.
It looks like it's really for Chen Yingying's sake, for Liverpool's sake. But Liverpool fans only see jealousy in it. Smelled a strong sour smell.
However, the fans are soft-spoken, and their words have no influence, so naturally they can't make a strong rebuttal.
But they can count on Chen Yingying, they too
, he's going to slap those people's faces hard!
Indeed it is.
At this time, Chen Yingying's words made these people's hard work to analyze data, find information, write manuscripts, and criticize him, all of which were in vain.
"My first season at Liverpool, you say the team is tactically chaotic, and I don't have any 'unlimited firing rights', let alone the privilege of not having to defend again...... But we scored 37 goals in one season. Those who criticize me and look down on me, who can do this, come to Lao Tzu again! ”
There is no more powerful counterattack than this, as soon as Chen Yingying said this, everyone was speechless.
Because they really can't do it!
Centrality, unlimited firing rights, no need to defend back...... These privileges were exchanged for 37 goals in a season and 39 goals in a season, so why do you criticize Lao Tzu? Where is the cool, where to stay for Lao Tzu!
