The team didn't get a break after the Christmas dinner, and on Christmas Day the team ended training early to let everyone go back to celebrate the holidays with their families. Although tomorrow is the home game against Southampton, Martin Brown. O'Neill did not let everyone stay in the hotel a day earlier, as usual, but arranged for the players to go home, just considering that it was Christmas. This day is no less significant in the Western world than the Spring Festival in China, and if you arrange for everyone to go to the hotel for centralized accommodation at this time, it will only make the players dissatisfied and have no intention of preparing for the game, but will affect the state of the players.

It's better to go home for the holidays.

Chen Yingying returned home and spent a warm Christmas with Cabriella. The only regret is that he can't create an atmosphere for any day, and Chen Yingying naturally can't succeed. As soon as he thought of this, Chen Yingying gritted his teeth at West Ham United and Alledays.

Cabriela had just arrived in Liverpool, and after spending Christmas together, she would accompany Chen Yingying back to China. His parents haven't actually met their son's current girlfriend, and this time his father's fiftieth birthday, how to say that he wants to bring his beautiful foreign girlfriend back to support his father. Well, the elderly, sometimes they have a good face, and they bring Cabrera back by themselves, so that their parents have a light on their faces, and they are too happy to be happy.

The next morning, the players returned home for the holidays and arrived at the hotel where Liverpool had been scheduled to stay, and then gathered to watch the video of Southampton's recent games edited by the coaching staff. Learn about their characteristics and status. Supplemented by Martin. O'Neill's commentary gave them a deep understanding of what their opponents were like this time.

After lunch at the hotel at noon, a lunch break and simple strength training in the afternoon, we set off for the course.

Southampton are promoted this season, and with Liverpool at their home turf, they have just beaten Manchester United in the last round of the league, morale is high, and the Christmas dinner has played the same role, so the result of this game can be imagined.

Although in the sixth round of the league, Southampton had drawn Liverpool at their home stadium, but in that game, Liverpool made a rotation, and many main players, including Chen Yingying, did not play, and the whole Liverpool team did not adapt to the various changes brought about by the rotation. But now it's completely different.

In the end, Liverpool beat Southampton 4-1 at their home stadium, and Chen Yingying scored one goal and assisted two goals in this game to be named the best player.

There is an explanation, if this continues, Chen Yingying will have to dig an underground wine cellar in his own house to put the champagne rewarded by the best player.

Next away game against Wigan Athletic, Martin. O'Neill continued to rotate, with players including Chen Yingxing sitting on the bench.

Even so, Liverpool won 2-1 away at Wigan Athletic.

The league has played 19 rounds, more than half of the schedule, and Liverpool is currently ranked first in the league, scoring 42 goals, conceding 12 goals, and accumulating 47 points. This result is Liverpool's best result in the league since the beginning of the new century. Never after half a season, Liverpool fans have never been so proud and happy. It's really a pleasure for them to play every game, and even if they lose one or two games, no one will panic ().

Even halfway through the league, many Liverpool fans thought they could play in next season's Champions League.

Manchester City are one point behind them and are in second place. Manchester United are four points less in third place, while Arsenal are one point behind Manchester United in fourth place.

Next, it's time for the game against Manchester City.

This is the first time Liverpool have met Manchester City in the new season. It stands to reason that in the league, the same opponents met once last season and again in the second half of the season, but this season is so strange that the first meeting between Liverpool and Manchester City was in the second half of the season. However, the two meetings with Southampton this season have already been completed.

In the penultimate round of the league, Liverpool will also welcome Manchester City at home. If that time had been the case, and it was still the way it is now, that race would have been dubbed "the race that decided the championship".

But now, it's all early.

Martin. O'Neill looked at the next round of opponents on the matchsheet and suddenly realized that he was a little nervous and excited......

This is not a final, what is he excited and nervous about?

Because he thought of the bet he had with Chen Yingying.

He was jokingly rejecting Chen Yingying, but what if Chen Yingying really scored five goals in the game?

Do you really want to allow him to return home?

O'Neill shook his head - the odds are too low, isn't it? He didn't believe Chen could accomplish the feat of scoring five goals in any given game. Even if it is a person like Messi, it is not easy for you to designate a game for him to win five yuan, let alone Chen Yingying......

But there was a thought in his heart that couldn't help but turn it over - what if he really did it?

If he really did, did he really want to let him go?

Martin. O'Neill didn't want it to be like this, but he also had some expectations to witness such a great scene in the game.

Five balls! The opponent is still a team like Manchester City, if it can really be realized, I believe it will be a great boost to the morale of their team, and it will be a huge blow to Manchester City, killing two birds with one stone......

He was conflicted.

Martin. While O'Neill was struggling with his inner conflict, Chen Yingying was packing his luggage with Cabriella.

"Are you so sure you can score five goals against Manchester City?" Cabriela asked as she packed her bags.

"If you can't finish it, you have to finish it! It's a dead mission, and it must be done! Chen Yingying put the birthday gift he bought for his parents in his suitcase.

"What if it doesn't work?"

Chen Yingying raised his head and looked at Cabriella: "In my dictionary, there is no 'what if'. Then he went on to pack his things. I booked all the air tickets, round trip. We arrived home on the afternoon of the 31st and left the next day after lunch. ”

Chen Yingying actually asked O'Neill for one day off. According to his plan, he will not be able to return to Liverpool until the number two, just in time for the next day's game against Newcastle United. Newcastle have also been in excellent form this season and are currently sixth in the league and are a strong rival. Chen Yingying is definitely going to play in this game. Martin. Even if O'Neill rotates, he will not rotate at this time, he will only rotate against the weaker team.

But if he says three days, he is afraid that the head coach will not agree, and if he says two days, he will take the leave, and then it will be ...... The general is not subject to the order of the king......

It's a big deal that he conceded guilty afterwards ().

It can be seen from this that his father's fiftieth birthday is very important to him, and what price did Chen Yingying pay in order to be able to come back to participate.

Ahead of the Manchester City derby game, the media was already hyping up the game.

Because the hatred between Chen Yingying and Manchester City is really three days and three nights......

Starting from the malicious revenge on Richards, Chen Yingying and Manchester City are even together. The ensuing series of events deepened the contradictions and hatred between the two. Now it has reached the point of "mortal hatred" that will not give up even if it is dead.

This game is away again, and Manchester City fans have already threatened to give Chen Yingxing a good look on their home turf.

Of course, this time they should not use racist slogans and methods to attack Chen Yingying.

Liverpool fans have announced that they will defend Chen to the death.

The clubs on both sides are starting to cool down their fans.

Martin. O'Neill said in an interview with reporters: "The feud between Liverpool and Manchester City? I don't know, I wasn't Liverpool's manager at the time. In my opinion, it's just a normal league game and I want the fans on both sides to be calm. That's going to happen 38 times a season......"

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini also called on fans not to point the finger at Chen Yingying: "I agree with Martin, it's just an ordinary game. The fans should be focused on the game and City need their cheers, not boos against the opposing players......"

But in the frenzy, their appeals were feeble. Manchester police, at least, have not heeded the call of the two managers, who have announced that security will be strengthened on the pitch on match day. Heavily armed riot police will separate Liverpool fans from Manchester City fans, and a special entrance will be opened for Liverpool fans to enter and exit to ensure that there is no direct contact between fans on both sides.

At the same time, Liverpool FC also issued a warning to fans not to go to Manchester too early, and it is better to follow the action of the big group - generally only when they go to Turkey and Italy, where football violence is high, English clubs will give such a warning to their own fans. And now it's just a domestic league, and such a warning has been issued.

From this, what kind of state is this game......

And that's not all, although the managers of both sides are friendly, the players of both teams are not fuel-efficient lamps.

Richards did not hide his dislike for Chen Yingying in an interview: "He is very good at scoring goals? Yes, but so what, against Manchester City, I won't let him have a chance to score! He's a despicable guy, and I won't shake his hand, I do what I say! ”

Before Chen Yingying could speak, Suarez had already jumped out first: "If you want to talk about despicability, Richards calls it the second in the world, and no one dares to say that he is the first." I remember the way he pretended to be innocent after shoveling me! A person who has done something wrong but doesn't dare to admit it, I don't think he's a man! ”

Chen Yingying also said: "Despicable? Aha, who falsely accused me of racism, who lied to the FA, to the media, to the public? Who was the conspiracy exposed, the defendant went to court and then lost the case? I really don't think he can repent by letting him work as a social worker, and it would be better for him to go to prison to pick up soap. ”

Richards immediately shut up.

He's at a loss!

He did lie to deceive everyone and falsely accused Chen Yingying of racist discrimination against him. So as soon as Chen Yingying turned over the old accounts, he couldn't continue to die with a hard mouth.

He could only hold this breath in his heart, and then made up his mind to make Chen Yingying look good in the competition, and when he won the competition, he must celebrate unscrupulously in front of Chen Yingying!。
