Chapter 1277 Four Champions? (The third asks for a monthly ticket)

After the FA Cup match, Chen Yingxiong was finally able to get out of the oppressive atmosphere.

Before, he never wanted to understand what the reserve team players were thinking. Anyway, he was only in charge of playing the game, and everyone was very happy to see him and worshiped him. Naturally, he would not take those negative thoughts deep in their hearts. are exposed.

But after the League Cup semi-finals, it was the first time he touched the hearts of these players who were separated by a wall.

It turns out that in the reserve team, everyone is like this...

He had this idea.

He found that not all Liverpool players would regard Liverpool as their home, and they would not unconditionally sacrifice their own interests. They had their own ideas and goals.They're not cold stats in the game that have emotions if you treat them badly.

Unlike what the outside world says, not everyone is happy that the team can reach the League Cup final.

Chen Yingxiong found that a high wall seemed to be built between the first team and the reserve team. On the other side of the wall were the stars of the first team. They lived under the spotlight, enjoyed high salaries and bonuses, and were admired by many fans. .And on the other side of the wall, there is a lack of attention, the reserve players, many of whom don't even know where their careers are headed.

Such a team, because of their own arrival, has some hope.Because they can play a lot more games, they can attract the attention of those scouts and the media.

For the first time, Chen Yingxiong began to think about the significance of coming to the reserve team to play the League Cup and the FA Cup with them.

He just didn't want to let go of scoring goals in official games such as the League Cup and the FA Cup, and also wanted to win some honors for himself.

In fact, his thoughts are very selfish-he doesn't think about other people at all, he just thinks about himself.

But now his mind had more ideas.

Maybe it's because of his maturity, growing up, and being the captain, Chen Yingxiong is more and more considerate of others because of his responsibility.

But Chen Yingxiong is always doing this for the first time, and he is usually not the kind of person who is particularly good at doing this kind of thing.Besides, he doesn't have time to think about life when he has nothing to do, he is very busy.

So this matter, he just put it in his heart and didn't think about it for the time being.

Anyway, he won't see the reserve team players again for a while.

The next FA Cup game has to wait until February [-]th, and there are many other games to be played before then.

On January 25th, in the third round of No.20 in the league, Liverpool challenged Wolves away.

Wolves have been more tenacious at home than anyone imagined - and now most Premier League teams have unified their thinking: it's their territory to be a guest at Anfield.But when we return to our home court, we absolutely must go all out, and if we don't want to win, we must keep a tie, and we must try our best to ensure a draw.It's no shame to draw with Liverpool at home.

Those who want to beat Liverpool at home are the ideas of Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal, and Chelsea.

Let's honestly score one point for our mid-game team.

In fact, being able to score a point at home is already very good, what else is there to be dissatisfied with?People need to be content.

The Wolves are sticking to their own home court. They don't want any home advantage or face. It's good to be alive at this time.

They almost made it.

Because not only did they defend, they also scored a goal.

But the final score was 1:2, and the Wolves at home lost the game.

Liverpool still took the three points, although the process was a bit difficult.

Chen Yingxiong once again became the key man. He helped the team score the goal that sealed the victory.

But just like what the reporters thought before, it is not uncommon for Chen Yingxiong to perform well in the game.Not worth the hype.

And readers are not interested anymore. Even Liverpool fans are now suffering from "aesthetic fatigue". It is normal for Chen Yingxiong to perform well.

Maybe one day, when Chen Yingxiong does not perform well, the media will make a big report, because that is considered newsworthy.

To use an inappropriate metaphor, Chen Yingxiong's good performance is like a dog biting a person. This is not news.Chen Yingxiong's performance is not good, it is a man biting a dog, this is the news!
Five days later, Liverpool beat Bolton 2-0 at home to stay at the top of the league table
The league has played 24 rounds, Liverpool has not lost a game, 21 wins and three draws, accumulating 66 points, topping the list with 69 goals and only conceding [-] goals.It is currently the only undefeated team in the entire European League. It is also the team with the most goals and the fewest conceded goals, and it is also the team with the highest points.

With such an outstanding record, Liverpool's reputation is not limited to England. Although the Champions League knockout round has not officially started, the whole of Europe has been affected by Liverpool.

Several major mainstream media in Europe have begun to pay close attention to Liverpool's movements.

Every day, many reporters flock to Liverpool from all over the world, hoping to interview Liverpool's coaches and stars.

For a while, although Barcelona and Real Madrid were still the two best teams on the planet, they could no longer stop the rise of Liverpool.

Many people know that Liverpool will be able to threaten the existence of the two super giants.

The reason why they are full of confidence in Liverpool is that besides Chen Yingxiong and Liverpool's record in the last one or two seasons, the most important thing is Liverpool's rich background.

Europeans pay attention to the concept of family status, a wealthy family is a wealthy family, no matter how powerful you are as an upstart, you will be looked down upon by others.

So even strong teams like Manchester City and Chelsea, no matter how strong they are or how rich they are, cannot become real giants.For Europeans, to become a wealthy family, what you need is a glorious and splendid history.

Chelsea and Manchester City can't even shake Manchester United's status, let alone shake Barcelona and Real Madrid.

But in their eyes, Liverpool can.Because Liverpool is not only powerful, but also rich. They are real rich, even if they were once down, they are still rich.As long as they are given a chance to breathe and let them rise again, then with the background of the giants, they can become a real threat to the status of the two super giants, Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Yes, only Liverpool really has the power to change the current European football pattern.None of the other teams can.

However, in order to change the pattern of European football, it is not feasible to just make small troubles in their own domestic leagues. They still need to prove themselves in the Champions League.

Nowadays, the economy is globalizing, and sports competitions cannot get rid of this general trend. No matter how you dominate your own territory, you can't become the king. so what?It's not that no one pays attention to it in Europe. Those real giants never take Lyon seriously.

If Lyon can win the Champions League once during these seven consecutive championships, then the status will be different immediately.

In intercontinental competitions, the influence of cross-border competitions has surpassed a single league.

The glorious occasion of the small World Cup in Serie A is gone forever, and this is not just a problem of Serie A.This is the general trend.

The Premier League is currently the world's number one football league, but in front of the Champions League, they are not enough.Because the Champions League is the strongest team in several major leagues, and it is a battlefield where all the giants can compete.This is somewhat similar to the idea of ​​the European Super League proposed by the G14 group.

Perhaps Liverpool people will feel that the league title is more important.But everyone else will think that the Champions League is the ultimate measure of a team's strength.

Now that the Liverpool people have realized their long-cherished wish of winning the Premier League, they should also set their sights on a wider stage.

All competitions in January 2015 are over, and in February, the quarter-finals of the Champions League are coming.

For Martin O'Neill, the good times are over.

Yes, the easy days are over.

That sounds weird.You must know that during Christmas and January, the schedule is very intensive. Why does Martin O'Neill still think that this is a good and easy day?

During January and Christmas, although the schedule is intensive, specific events should be analyzed in detail.Except for the league, these games are all League Cup and FA Cup games. These games can be played by the reserve team, and the first team can get enough rest time.

So although it seems that the schedule is very intensive, the rest time for the first team is guaranteed.

But after entering February, in addition to the League Cup, FA Cup and domestic league games that were held in January, there is also the knockout round of the UEFA Champions League.

This is a game that the first team can't rest.

What's more, now Martin O'Neill has to face a choice.

Should the two fronts go hand in hand, or should we focus on one end...

In January, he didn't have to do such multiple-choice questions.

When Martin O'Neill was thinking hard about the answer, he suddenly thought of another question.

The League Cup has reached the final. If Chen Yingxiong insists on playing in the FA Cup, what if he also reaches the final?
He said before the season that the team's goal should be to win all four championships. At that time, he felt that he was too whimsical and arrogant, so he did not agree.

But if this momentum continues, is it really possible that it will eventually become the situation Chen Yingxiong hoped for?
Does Liverpool have the qualifications and ability to compete for the final championship on all four battlefields?
Then do I have to give up one or several championships?
