Chapter 1310 Comparing Your Heart to Your Heart (Second Monthly Pass)

Chen Yingxiong went to Martin O'Neill to discuss the FA Cup semi-final so early, mainly because he knew that if he waited until the day before the game to practice with the reserve team as before, he would not want to Defeating Tottenham Hotspur, I am afraid it is really rare.

He still needs the support of the team. He can play the savior sometimes, but he cannot play the savior anytime and anywhere.

So after confirming this matter with O'Neal in advance, O'Neal can also arrange corresponding training.Of course, it is impossible for O'Neill to let Chen Yingxiong train with the reserve team all day long.

As long as the training intensity of the reserve team is still increased and kept consistent with the first team, then every week he will arrange an in-team training match for the reserve team to come and play against the first team.

At this time, Chen Yingxiong will be grouped with the reserve team and become the opponent of the first team.

When the reserve team players came to participate in this training match for the first time, they found that Chen Yingxiong was wearing the same color vest as them, ran up to them, and greeted them with a smile.

Everyone was surprised.

It is nothing new for the reserve team to practice with the first team.

So when we came here before, no one thought much about it.

But when they found that Chen Yingxiong was wearing a vest of the same color as them and joined their team, they suddenly thought of something.

Before that, when they played against the first team, it was like this. On the second day of that game, they played with Chen Yingxiong in the League Cup!

Is it...

Chen Yingxiong waved at them, then smiled: "I said I want everyone to participate in the semi-finals together, do you think I'm joking?"

A group of people froze for a moment, and then realized that it was true!They really want to go to the semi-finals of the FA Cup with Chen Yingxiong!

Incredible!

Hero he really convinced the boss?

He is simply a god!Can this be done? !

There is still more than half a month before the semi-finals, and now they are arranged to practice together, obviously because the team has to prepare for the semi-finals, otherwise there is nothing wrong with them!
There was a burst of cheers from the reserve team players.

Hearing these cheers and seeing the reserve team players happily surrounding Chen Yingxiong, the first team players shook their heads—they couldn't understand the mood of the reserve team players at this moment.

Standing on the sidelines, head coach Martin O'Neill crossed his arms. Seeing this scene, he thought of Chen Yingxiong's series of rhetorical questions.

"Why let them work hard when they are fighting, and it is our turn to play when it is time to pick the fruits of victory? They have been in charge of this event from the beginning, why should they be replaced at the end? Don't you see that they have a lot of hearts? Are you disgusted by this decision? The honor of the League Cup should belong to them, but no matter whether it is the awards ceremony or the celebration ceremony, they are not there...They are forgotten by all of us, is this normal? The same is true A member of the Liverpool club, just because they are in the reserve team, should they be treated so unfairly?"

From an emotional point of view, maybe Chen Yingxiong is right.

But reason kept telling Martin O'Neill that he thought Chen Yingxiong's approach was very risky, and the outcome might not be as good as he imagined.

O'Neill has just passed the age full of idealistic passion, and he knows that this kind of idealism is impossible to succeed in many cases.

It is impossible for him to let Chen Yingxiong train with the reserve team, although it can increase the training intensity of the reserve team and ask them like the first team.But what about Chen Yingxiong?It's impossible for him to train with the reserve team players, cultivate tacit understanding, and practice various tactics... What can be achieved by just relying on one practice match this week?
He didn't believe that just playing a few training games together like this would allow Chen Yingxiong to fully integrate into the team.

What's wrong with the FA Cup? In the semi-finals, both parties have become serious. A Tottenham Hotspur who went all out met a Liverpool who played with the reserve team. What happened? O'Neill felt that he didn't need it. thought about it...

But looking at the excited reserve team players and Chen Yingxiong in front of him, it was not easy for him to dampen their enthusiasm... so he had no choice but to remain silent.

※ ※ ※

In fact, not only Martin O'Neill, but most of the coaches in Liverpool's coaching staff are worried about this issue.The training time between Chen Yingxiong and the reserve team is too short. What's the point of relying on the team training match once a week?

No one believed that Chen Yingxiong could rely on such a short training time to integrate into the reserve team. This was a wrong decision from the beginning.

But Martin O'Neill didn't object, and the others naturally didn't make a sound.

After this training match, the players of the first team also knew the plan of the head coach-these players of the reserve team seem to be participating in the semi-finals?
They were shocked!

Relying on this group of people to participate in the semi-finals, isn't this courting death?

When the training was over and they returned to the locker room of the first team, everyone surrounded Chen Yingxiong, hoping to get a definite answer from Chen Yingxiong.

"Hero? You don't really want to participate in the semi-finals with the reserve team?" Sanchez asked with concern.

Others also rushed forward, intending to hear what Chen Yingxiong had to say.

Chen Yingxiong nodded: "Yes."

Everyone was surprised: "What does the boss think...how could he allow the reserve team to participate in such an important game?"

Unexpectedly, what Chen Yingxiong said next surprised them even more.

"That's what I came up with, guys."

The locker room, which was noisy before, was suddenly silent, and everyone looked at Chen Yingxiong with monster eyes.

"Uh, what's the matter?" Chen Yingxiong touched his nose, a little embarrassed.

"Are you crazy, hero?!" Skrtel yelled.

"That's right, why do you have such an idea, hero?"

"Do you know the difficulty? Heroes? Compared with Tottenham's players, the guys in the reserve team are simply a bunch of weak lambs!"

Chen Yingxiong continued: "But I heard that a herd of sheep led by a lion can kill a group of lions led by a sheep."

The doubts in the locker room subsided a little bit, and Chen Yingxiong continued: "It is my idea to let the reserve team participate in the semi-finals. My idea is actually very simple. I think anyway, the FA Cup match is absolutely perfect for our first team. Most of the players have never participated in it from the beginning, why should they take their chances in the semi-finals? For us, one more FA Cup game is nothing at all, and many people don’t even want to play , because it’s not interesting, and it’s a waste of energy. But for them in the reserve team, this is a rare opportunity to show themselves in front of the public. We don’t want chicken ribs, but they take it as a treasure. I thought, we shouldn’t do this Denied their chance. They put in sweat and hard work and we got caught in the stands when it mattered most. Like Carling Cup semi-final, is that normal? It was the reserve guys who sent us to the podium Taiwan, but in the end we didn't say thank you to them for our winning streak...is this normal?"

Faced with Chen Yingxiong's rhetorical question, many people lowered their heads, not knowing how to answer.

Comparing your heart with your heart, it is indeed unethical to do so. They worked so hard, and in the end they won the winning streak without thanking them, so they took away the opportunity.

"When we were on the podium to accept the gold and the trophy, they had nothing. They didn't qualify for the gold just because...they missed two games when they actually played more games than we did. There are more. It stands to reason that we are not qualified to win medals. I know that everyone is unwilling to waste energy in such insignificant competitions, but they have to do all the hard work, and the one who enjoys the cheers at the end It's us, anyway, I feel embarrassed. That's why I want to give them a compensation, that is, let them participate in the semi-finals of the FA Cup, if they can reach the final, I still want them to participate in the final! Who are the people in the championship, and who will be after this. Sorry, guys, I didn't count you this time, but I think we should be insignificant for the absentees for a game or two, but for them, this It's two very, very important games. Sorry, I didn't tell you this in advance..."

After Chen Yingxiong finished speaking very sincerely, the locker room fell into a moment of silence.

In the end, Gerrard broke the silence. He stood up and expressed support for Chen Yingxiong: "I support the hero's approach. The reserve team is also a member of our entire team. The reserve team players are also Liverpool players. There should be no distinction. Treat them. They deserve what we do. I'm not going to fight them for the chance anyway."

Gerrard was trained by the Liverpool youth academy, and he has also experienced the days of playing in the reserve team, so he can especially understand what Chen Yingxiong said.

Now that the team's captain, spiritual leader, and flag have all stood up to speak for the reserve team, what else can others say?
Naturally, it was unanimously approved without any objection.

However, some people expressed concern about the reserve team's trip to the semi-finals.

"Hero, you are training with us every day, and it is impossible for you to go to the reserve team to participate in training. How do you run in with the team and conduct joint training? Do you only rely on the surprise training the day before the game and today's training game? ?”

Faced with such a question, Chen Yingxiong smiled slightly: "I have participated in the League Cup and FA Cup with them for two seasons, and we already have a tacit understanding!"
