Heroes of the Restricted Zone

Chapter 1059 There is no comparison at all... (Apologies for the second update)
Chen Yingxiong actually remembered breaking the record, but he didn't remember breaking this record, but Gerd Muller's record for the most consecutive goals scored in a European competition.

As for the record of consecutive home goals, he really didn't care...

Didn't expect it to break without knowing it?

However, this record is only eight games, and the difficulty is too small. It is normal for Chen Yingxiong to not take it to heart. His mind is reserved for those very difficult things.

Things that are not difficult can be done casually, so why always remember them?
What's more, the rewards for this mission are also very average, except for experience, there is nothing else, it's just that in order to complete the core series of missions, this mission must be completed first.

So, if it breaks, it breaks.

※ ※ ※

Chen Yingxiong didn't care much about it himself, but in the eyes of the media, it became another meaning.

So in the newspaper published the next day, everyone marveled and praised Chen Yingxiong for his calmness.

"In 52 years, no one has ever broken it, only the record that has been tied, and Chen Yingxiong broke it like this, but he seems a little indifferent... But it is not indifference, but a kind of calmness. All heroes The world is invincible, such a thing is naturally impossible due to too many other psychological fluctuations..."

"The hero's calmness reflects his strong self-confidence. He no longer needs to be excited to celebrate this record breaking to show his ability. Everyone knows his ability!"

However, Chen Yingxiong's calmness gave everyone a chance to compare.

The same record, when Torres tied the record in 2008, he was very happy. When he was interviewed by reporters, he said that he was very proud to be able to tie the record. He even went to learn about the record before the game. Yes, and he looks forward to continuing to work hard next season to try to create a new record - it was already the last home game of the season, and if Torres wants to create a new record, he can only wait until next season.

Unfortunately, after the start of next season, Torres did not seize the opportunity.

Chen Yingxiong behaved as if he went out today except for a meal so casually.

"What? I broke the record? Oh."

What I'm most afraid of is that people compare to people...

Such a comparison, coupled with the various comparisons between Chen Yingxiong and Torres before, everyone feels that Chen Yingxiong is more reliable.

The comparison with Torres actually started after Chen Yingxiong moved to Liverpool.After all, both of them are forwards, both are foreign players, and both of them can score goals.

It is inevitable that people will have the idea of ​​​​comparing each other.

Torres scored 24 goals in his first season at Liverpool, breaking the record previously held by Van Nistelrooy for foreign players in the first season of the Premier League. Van Nistelrooy's record was 23 in one season. ball.

So what about Chen Yingxiong?

There is no suspense!

He scored 37 goals in his first season in the Premier League, not only broke Torres' record, but also won the top scorer of the season, while Torres scored 24 goals at the time, and he was only the second in the scorer list.

This time the gap is quite obvious.

In the same first season, Torres also broke another Liverpool record, that is, no one in Liverpool can score more than 11 goals in a single season in [-] years, not even the golden boy Owen.The last time someone did that was bad boy Robbie Fowler.

But such a record is worthless in the eyes of Chen Yingxiong.Apart from playing only ten games in 2006 in the first season of his debut, in which season did Chen Yingxiong score less than [-] league goals?

Since the 2009-10 season, which season has he scored fewer than [-] league goals?
Does this still need to be compared?One scored [-] goals and broke the record, and the other scored at least [-] goals every season...

Now the only record related to Torres in front of Chen Yingxiong is two consecutive league hat-tricks...

But everyone felt that this record was not a problem for Chen Yingxiong at all.

The hat trick was too easy for Chen Yingxiong.

Chen Yingxiong has completed four hat-tricks in the league this season, only one away from Roger Hunter's single-season hat-trick record.

Everyone felt that there was no suspense for Chen Yingxiong to break this record. It doesn't depend on ability, but on mood.If you are in a good mood, Chen Yingxiong will be broken, if you are in a bad mood... Chen Yingxiong will be broken even more!
So in the season when Chen Yingxiong first arrived at Liverpool, everyone still compared him with Torres who had just left the team.

That's because everyone lacks understanding of Chen Yingxiong.

No one does that anymore.After one season, everyone will know that these two people are completely incomparable...

This record-breaking incident has deepened everyone's understanding of this.

There is really no comparison...

Chen Yingxiong broke the record without making a sound, without even a little excitement, as if it was a matter of course.

this is too scary!

How many surprises can such Chen Yingxiong bring us in the future?

※ ※ ※

Chen Yingxiong doesn't care about breaking the record of scoring goals in eight consecutive league games at home. Not only him, but the rest of the team don't care.

During this time, everyone's focus was on vice-captain Carragher.

Carragher said he was retiring.At that time, time was tight during the halftime break of the game, and everyone couldn't continue to persuade them.

There is plenty of time now. In the past few days, everyone is trying to persuade Carragher to change his mind.

But it didn't work, Carragher was obviously determined this time.It's useless for anyone to persuade him.

In the end, everyone had to pin their hopes on Gerrard.

Among this Liverpool team, Gerrard is the only player with the best relationship with Carragher and the oldest player.

Gerrard's answer to everyone was - shaking his head.

※ ※ ※

In fact, Gerrard persuaded Carragher very early, much earlier than when everyone expected him to come forward.

He invited Carragher's family to come to his house as guests, tasting barbecue and drinking fine wine. The women went to take care of the lively and lovely children, and the two old men got together to discuss this matter.

"I know what you're going to say, Stephen. But don't try to convince me, I've already made a decision." Carragher cut to the chase.

"Decisions can be changed, as long as they haven't finally become reality. It's like a football game, Jamie. I won't give up until the final whistle. How else would we have reversed AC in Istanbul? What about the great game in Milan? Speaking of that game, you were the biggest contributor to our victory, Jamie."

Gerrard held a glass of wine and started from recalling the past, hoping to arouse Carragher's nostalgia for the team.

Carragher smiled: "The biggest hero is not me, but it was indeed the most wonderful night in my life, even more wonderful than the wedding night, haha! But I still will not change my decision to retire, Stephen."

"If you feel tired from playing continuously, you can continue to be a rotation player, Jamie... To be honest, I think I have to accept this reality in the future. There is nothing to be ashamed of, it is the law of nature, We've always got to go this far..."

"Stephen, it has nothing to do with being a substitute or the main force. I am 36 years old. In fact, I can retire earlier. I have passed the coaching certificate in advance. But why haven't I retired? Because I was in the Wait, I hope to see the day of Liverpool's revival, even if it is just a hope. I am afraid that if I leave the team, I will not be able to contribute to the revival of the team. I watched her slip into a darker abyss... …I couldn't accept this. So I kept playing. But now, it's not a problem..."

Carragher looked at Gerrard and smiled: "I am very grateful to the hero, although I once doubted him. But it seems that he is having a good time here and does not want to leave here to go elsewhere. The momentum of Liverpool this season is also Very good, I think maybe I can really hold a league championship trophy with my own hands... I am satisfied, I am relieved, I think I can retire to be my coach."

Facing Carragher's true confession, Gerrard had nothing to say.

Because he can fully understand Carragher's feelings, worrying that after he leaves the team, the team will fail and the results will get worse and worse.Worried that he would not be able to contribute to the revival of the team, when the team needed him most, he could only sit on the sidelines and be a spectator.

Seeing that Gerrard was silent, Carragher smiled and said: "Look, you can't speak? Don't feel sorry for me, Stephen. I don't have any regrets at all. These two seasons, I think When it comes to our hope of revival, our performance has made many people admire us. This season, we even have the hope of winning the league championship. There is no better farewell ceremony than this!"

Gerrard sighed. He admitted that Carragher had his own thoughts, so he couldn't refute... He didn't want Carragher to leave, but he couldn't stop him. He was very conflicted, and it showed directly on his face.

Carragher raised his glass: "Don't look like this, Stephen. Parting should be a very happy thing, because it means a new beginning. I will be a coach in Liverpool. In fact, I still haven't left everyone. ...Come on, finish this drink, and then let's talk about something else."

Gerrard toasted to Carragher with some dismay, but the sip of wine stayed in his mouth for a long time, until he was so bitter that he swallowed it down.

※ ※ ※

No one can change Carragher's mind, not even Liverpool manager Martin O'Neill.

After deciding to retire, Carragher went to Martin O'Neill once and expressed his thoughts to him.

Martin O'Neill heard the news for the second time, but he still perfectly expressed his surprise when he heard it for the first time.

"why is that?"

"No reason, boss. I'm too old to play. You know, playing football like me requires very strict physical requirements..."

In fact, Martin O'Neill knew why Carragher was there, but he couldn't let Carragher know that he knew...

He was reluctant to leave Carragher. Although Carragher felt that he was no longer used to the fierce Premier League games, O'Neill felt that Carragher was a qualified locker room leader and an excellent substitute player.It can enhance the depth of the team's bench. When he is needed, at critical moments, his experience and leadership qualities, as well as the quality of will that never gives up, can lead the team out of the woods.

Now that he's gone, I don't have such a suitable rotation player...

"Can't you think about it again, Jamie? You know, you are still an important part of my plans, I need you, and Liverpool need you..."

Carragher shook his head: "I have made up my mind."

O'Neill did the same.Even Gerrard couldn't persuade him, who else could persuade him to change his mind.

He sighed: "Okay, Jamie. At tomorrow's regular press conference, you can attend as a player representative. Then you will tell the media about your decision yourself, how about it?"

Carragher nodded.
