Heroes of the Restricted Zone

Chapter 1275 This is a collective honor

The training in the No. [-] field went smoothly. Of the nine Liverpool reserve players who were finally brought to the first team by Clarke, six remained, and the remaining three were sent back home.

Although Clarke did say that they can follow the first team to participate in the semi-finals of the League Cup tomorrow.

But among the echelons of the entire Liverpool team, only Martin O'Neill is the one who speaks the most.What other people say is not the final result.

If an assistant coach is more effective than a head coach, it's a mess.

Calling nine people does not mean that Martin O'Neill really wants to keep nine people in the end. He generally checks the state and strength of these nine people to see if they are really qualified for a game like the League Cup semi-finals.

The final result was that six people qualified and three were eliminated.

Even the remaining six people don't need to be too happy, because they may not get the chance to start.

There are seven substitutes allowed in the Carabao Cup, so it would not be surprising if all six were included.

If it weren't for Martin O'Neill's consideration of allowing the first team to get as many rest opportunities as possible, the reserve team players could be completely unnecessary.

Because the opponents in the semi-finals of the League Cup this time are not strong, it is Blackburn, so Martin O'Neill gave the reserve team a chance, picked nine people from there, and finally became six people.

The three people who were eliminated from the game returned to the second field with a look of frustration. Everyone's surprised eyes made them feel ashamed.

But soon the teammates figured it out, there are people who are aggrieved, and there are also people who gloat.

Finally, someone raised a question during training, "We played the previous games, why should we give up our position in the final semi-finals?"

It just so happened that when the player was complaining, assistant coach Clark walked by and heard him complaining.

He stopped immediately, and walked up to the hapless bastard with a serious and frightening expression.

"What are you talking about? Evan? How can you say that? You are part of Liverpool, and you all play in Liverpool jerseys. When you go out, you are all Liverpool players. Why do you divide each other? Liverpool is a whole, Instead of being divided into several teams of loose sand!"

His tone was harsh and he spoke heavily.

This is indeed a very serious problem.As a member of Liverpool, you should be proud of Liverpool's achievements, not the first team and the second team.

Poor Evan was so scolded that he lowered his head and dared not speak.

Clark's words to teach Evan also attracted other reserve players.

Clark looked around, at the reserve players, and he thought of the disappointment and pain on the faces of these people after knowing that they would not be able to participate in the Carabao Cup semi-final.

It seems that I don't have the confidence to continue to teach Evan, who is drooping his head in front of him.

He sighed and said, "Remember, Evan. The name on the front of your jersey is far more important than the name on the back..." After speaking, he patted Evan on the shoulder as a comfort.

"Alright, alright, continue training! Continue training!" After walking away, he blew the whistle in his mouth.

In the League Cup semi-final the next day, Liverpool played four second-team players and the other seven were first-team players.

The media did not make a fuss about Martin O'Neill's sudden first-team lineup.

This is human nature, and anyone can guess it—from the cup to the semi-finals, the championship must be the only goal of each head coach. If you want to train the team at this time, you have a problem with your brain.Utilitarianism is the common goal of all.

The only person who feels disappointed and unhappy is probably Black himself.They also imagined that Liverpool would continue to send a lineup of Chen Yingxiong and ten reserve players, so that they would have the confidence to compete with Liverpool.

Who would have thought that Liverpool would not have if they wished.

Many Blackburn fans cursed Liverpool as cowards.

But their voices cannot reach the ears of Liverpool players, and Liverpool people don't care about their opinions.

Victory is the only goal pursued by all Liverpool people at this time.

In the end, Liverpool's first team defeated Blackburn 3:1 in the semi-finals.

Be the first to get tickets to Wembley Stadium.

Chen Yingxiong continued his previous outstanding performance in the League Cup, scoring twice and scoring two goals, which is the biggest contributor to the team's ability to enter the final.

"As always, the hero showed his power, and then Liverpool entered the final. In fact, it doesn't matter whether the person standing next to the hero is a star we are familiar with, or an unknown player in the reserve team, because the result is the same - relying on Chen Yingxiong , Liverpool won."

"The hero is the most dazzling player in this afternoon's game. From the third round of the League Cup, the biggest and only contributor to Liverpool's ability to enter the final is Chen Yingxiong. If there is no hero, I dare say that it depends on the Liverpool team The second team, at most, they will break into the quarter-finals of the League Cup. It is Chen Yingxiong who injected the energy for that team to move on!"

"As long as there is a hero, Liverpool can win. As long as a bad team has him, it can be reborn and become a force to be reckoned with! His performance and experience in the League Cup have fully proved this point!"

After the game, many media were desperately singing praises for Chen Yingxiong. In order to set off Chen Yingxiong's tall image, Liverpool's second team was reduced to a "bad team".

No one interviews the feelings of those "bad team" players, and their feelings are not important to everyone.In the past, they were able to make news and show their faces in the media only because they were teammates of Chen Yingxiong, and they were only in the glory of Chen Yingxiong.

It stands to reason that one game is enough, but they didn't expect them to kill three games in one go.In the eyes of others, they should be grateful for this and treat the result with a grateful heart.How dare there be complaints and dissatisfaction?
So the media, who have always been afraid that the world will not be chaotic, let go of a gimmick that may be worth hyping...

A day later Liverpool's opponents in the Carabao Cup final were revealed.

The other Carabao Cup semi-final is between two teams from Manchester, a Manchester City derby.Manchester United away to Manchester City.

After 10 and 3 minutes of hard work, Manchester City finally narrowly defeated their rivals in the same city with a score of 2:[-] and won the ticket to the final of the League Cup.

However, Manchester United did not do their best in this game.

Apparently Ferguson thinks the League Cup is useless. He is unwilling to let multi-line battles disperse his firepower. Manchester United's elite forces must be concentrated in the league and regain the lost league title from Liverpool. This is the key to this season. Top priority.As for a League Cup champion, who cares?

He also hopes that Liverpool can have a fierce battle with Manchester City in the final. No matter what the final result is, as long as the energy of both parties is exhausted, it will be a success.

Ferguson didn't know the Chinese idiom "the crane and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit", but he knew the truth.

Let Manchester City and Liverpool clash in the League Cup final!I just sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, waiting to see a good show.

Sure enough, after Manchester City defeated Manchester United, their spirits were particularly high. Several players immediately laughed at Manchester United's current decline, and then enthusiastically said that meeting Liverpool in the League Cup final was the best result.

"This is an important occasion, very suitable for our revenge. As long as we can beat Liverpool in the League Cup final, we can avenge all the previous revenge!"

Manchester City fans also said that when they will occupy Wembley Stadium, they want to let Liverpool taste their strength.

Some fans said that they have already figured out the songs and slogans that mock Liverpool and ridicule Liverpool at the award ceremony, and ask everyone to learn it as soon as possible, so that they can be used to attack Liverpool at that time.

Look at the excitement, as if they had beaten Liverpool.

As for Ferguson, he didn't care about the criticism and bad-mouthing in the media about his loss in the semi-finals.He knew very well that swallowing his anger at this time was for the final eruption.When the time comes, he will definitely make those who look down on him and laugh at him pay the price!

※ ※ ※

After the two semi-finals of the League Cup were over, regarding the grievances between Liverpool and Manchester City, the media were very restrained and only hyped for one day before they died down.Everything returned to a calm state.

It's not that the media have found out with conscience and stopped hyping it up.

It's just that it's meaningless for them to hype the final until now, because there is still a month before the final.Now that all the enthusiasm has been fired, what should I do when I need it?
Squeeze it now, then it will explode.

The media are best at doing things like whet your appetite.

Therefore, the influence of the League Cup lasted only one day, and everyone's attention was shifted to the selection of the FIFA Ballon d'Or.

For Chen Yingxiong, there was nothing worth mentioning about this award.

He took the time to go to Zurich, stood on stage for more than ten minutes, and then watched Neymar from Barcelona receive the Ballon d'Or from FIFA President Sepp Blatter, applauded as usual, and then stepped down.

His performance at this awards ceremony was quite satisfactory, because everyone was quite satisfactory.Messi knows that he has no role to play, so he is very low-key.Neymar didn't mention Chen Yingxiong's name during the whole process, and he didn't know if it was intentional or unnecessary. Anyway, he and Chen Yingxiong were still in no hurry.

The only thing Chen Yingxiong is happy about is that he beat Messi in this selection.Neymar was the first, he was the second, and won the Silver Ball, while Messi could only take a photo with the other two with the Bronze Ball.

The media held back their energy and wanted Chen Yingxiong to say something explosive.For example, comment on Neymar and Messi.

Some media asked him nakedly what he thought of Messi only winning the Bronze Ball Award.

Although Chen Yingxiong is displeased with Messi and Barcelona, ​​there is no need for him to be used as a weapon by others...

He hates being used as a gun more than Messi.

So he was very low-key here, didn't say anything, and returned to Liverpool with his Silver Ball award.

The media were disappointed, but Chen Yingxiong didn't care about them.
