Chapter 1478 Let's Go to Wembley Together (Second Update with Guarantee)
Tottenham Hotspur was really bad luck. They didn't expect the Liverpool reserve team to easily win the next game, but they were not satisfied. They were full of evil fire and wanted to trouble them.

They are different from Bolton. Bolton is too late to relegation, so naturally they don't have the heart to deal with those strong teams in the FA Cup.Flash as much as you can.

But what about Tottenham?They finally made it to the semi-finals of the League Cup, you let them give up?That is to kill them!
For a long time, the Premier League championship has been monopolized by a few traditional giants, either Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, in short, it is not the turn of a middle-of-the-road team like Tottenham.

So the League Cup and the FA Cup have become their only goals to enrich the club's honor room.As a result, they tend to work harder in domestic cup competitions than in the league.

The FA Cup and League Cup are more likely to be upset, and they have become the main battlefield for these mid-range teams.

Now that they have reached the semi-finals, even if they encounter the difficult Liverpool, they are not willing to just admit defeat.

It's a pity to admit defeat at this time, it's better to admit defeat from the beginning.Now that you have reached this point, you have to work hard no matter how difficult it is.

Because it is an away game, Tottenham are more fully prepared.Their idea is that a tie is a victory, so if they go directly to overtime, it will still be a tie. If it is dragged to a penalty kick, Chen Yingxiong will not be able to play his advantage.Because no matter how good Chen Yingxiong is, there is only one penalty spot. Even if he shoots through the net, it is still one ball.

And he couldn't control the performance of his teammates.

For young people, it is inevitable that you will be a little nervous when you experience the penalty shootout at Wembley for the first time.

As long as you are nervous, you will play unstable and you may miss a penalty kick.

It was the idea McLaren had been thinking about for a week after being held to a first-leg draw by Liverpool.

If there is no way to knock out Liverpool in nine 10 minutes, why not drag it out to penalties?
When it came to the penalty shootout, the chances looked even.It's actually in their favor.

After all, Tottenham's players have more experience and have seen all kinds of scenes, so they have long been calm.Playing penalties, a decisive method that requires high psychological quality, is naturally the most suitable for Tottenham to use against Liverpool.

I have to say that McLaren's idea is really good.

And in theory, it does appear to be the only way to beat Liverpool.

If it is Liverpool's first team, this method may not be effective, because Reina is famous for saving penalty kicks. At the beginning, Spain's national goal Casillas learned how to save penalty kicks from Reina.

But against the Liverpool reserve team...the opponents are much more unscrupulous.

To put it bluntly, Chen Yingxiong can do it for this team, and if the others die, they will be downgraded to the level of the team's substitute players.

McClaren arrived at Anfield with the intention of dragging Liverpool to penalties.

But God did not wish.

At Anfield, how could Liverpool tolerate not scoring a goal?
※ ※ ※

In the 9th minute of the game, Liverpool scored, and it was Chen Yingxiong who scored.

He scored with a direct free kick.

Although Tottenham's defense is very tight, it can't completely prevent Liverpool from getting free kicks... There are still some fouls in front of the penalty area, let alone long-distance ones.

But the ones that were far away were within Chen Yingxiong's effective range.

So Chen Yingxiong's direct free kick is a little suspenseful.

The football went directly into the goal at a distance of more than 35 meters. Although Tottenham goalkeeper Gomez made a move, it didn't help.

This kind of long-distance free kick, Chen Yingxiong's style just has both speed and precision, making it particularly difficult for the goalkeeper to defend, and it is a falling ball, making it impossible for the goalkeeper to catch.

When McLaren saw Chen Yingxiong's goal off the field, his face turned livid.

Because he knew that once Liverpool scored this goal, all his calculations would be lost...

This means that if Tottenham want to draw with Liverpool, it will be difficult to drag into a penalty shootout.

Although the League Cup is not like the Champions League, it depends on the number of away goals.The League Cup does not look at the number of away goals, but only compares the total number of goals. If the total number of goals is the same, it will be played directly in overtime.

So Spurs only need one more goal to get the game back where it started.

But it's easy to say, the Liverpool reserve team has proved with their actual performance that their defense is very tenacious.Even a team as good at attacking as Arsenal can't break through the gate of Liverpool's reserve team, let alone Tottenham.

This game has lost its meaning.

The Tottenham Hotspur players also tried their best to give the Liverpool reserve team some color before the game.

As a result, in less than 10 minutes, Chen Yingxiong was knocked out with a blow to the head.

I was ignorant for more than ten minutes and didn't react.

When they finally reacted, Liverpool scored again.

This time it was not Chen Yingxiong who scored the goal, but the young star Carlton Cole.

Chen Yingxiong handed the football to Carlton Cole after drawing all of Tottenham's defensive attention.

Cole took a shot, and the football drew an arc, bypassed the goalkeeper's ten fingers, and flew into the goal.

Tottenham were not stunned this time, but were completely beaten to death.

Two goals behind, the first half is only halfway through, what else is there to start this game?
All their goals before the game are to keep the tie, and their tactical arrangements and training are also aimed at this.

Now let them attack with all their strength and try to equalize the score... They are not mentally prepared.

※ ※ ※

The rest of the game is completely in the hands of the Liverpool reserve team.

Martin O'Neill even took advantage of this opportunity to let the reserve team try to suppress the play, no longer just hide in the backcourt, but press the offense and play positional warfare.

After all, a team will encounter many problems in the game, which cannot be solved by just relying on a defensive defense.

Allowing them to try to solve various problems will help them to progress and improve.

So Tottenham Hotspur, a traditional strong team in the Premier League, has become a training target for Liverpool's reserve team...

If they knew about Martin O'Neill's plan, they'd probably find a piece of tofu and kill them...

Liverpool has been training, so the goals will naturally be less.

Everyone kept trying various offensive combinations and routines, and moved the set they usually trained in the reserve team to the FA Cup.

Although it is still a bit jerky, it is gradually getting better.

These players have experienced the most intense competition and have matured.

He is no longer a brat who has never seen the world.

Nothing matures like a cup game, just as nothing matures like a war.

In the end, because Liverpool focused on training, while Tottenham were disheartened, the next game was uneventful, and there was nothing worth talking about.

Neither of the two sides scored again, and the Liverpool reserve team defeated Tottenham Hotspur 2:0, eliminated the North London powerhouse with a total score of 4:2, and entered Wembley.

"The game is over! The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game!"

When the game ended, the commentator's voice suddenly increased.

On the pitch, the players of the Liverpool reserve team, no matter where they are, on or off the pitch, even if they have been running non-stop for 10 minutes, they are full of energy as if they just came on the field at this time!

They rushed towards Chen Yingxiong from all directions excitedly.

At this time, the person they want to thank the most is not even Clark, the head coach of the reserve team, but Chen Yingxiong.

If it wasn't for Chen Yingxiong, they would never have had the opportunity to really play at Wembley Stadium like today!

It was like a dream!
There are many native English players in the reserve team. As English players, Wembley Stadium has a very important position in the minds of these players.

Who didn't dream of playing at Wembley Stadium as a child?

To be able to play at Wembley Stadium, in their eyes, they are all superstars!
It can be said that this is a common dream of many reserve team players when they were young.

Now, Chen Yingxiong helped them realize it.

He kept that promise: "I'm going to Wembley with you guys!"

It was this promise that supported them to endure the arduous training.

Now, the promise has been fulfilled!
They really went to Wembley Stadium with Chen Yingxiong!
At this time, they must thank Chen Yingxiong.

A group of people rushed over, lifted Chen Yingxiong up, then threw it, caught it, threw it again, and caught it again.

In the end, he showed his strength on his shoulders before letting Chen Yingxiong get down from above.

As soon as he got down, he was hugged by everyone again.

"Wembley! Wembley! Wembley!"

"Let's go to Wembley together!!"

Such cheers sounded in the crowd.

※ ※ ※

Martin O'Neill didn't go up to join in the fun, he just went to shake hands with Tottenham Hotspur coach McClaren, turned around and came back, and there was nothing around him.All the reserve team players were on the field, surrounding Chen Yingxiong. He only saw Chen Yingxiong being thrown up by them.

He didn't go up to join in the fun, but just stood on the sidelines, smiling, watching the group of young people.

It seems that I will focus more on the reserve team in the future.

Originally, he thought that the reserve team were all losers who had been eliminated. They were depressed because they could not be selected for the first team, and their training and competition showed lack of fighting spirit.

But Chen Yingxiong's arrival changed everything.

He allowed the reserve team players to find a goal and motivation to fight for.

He leads them to keep fighting towards their goals and finally get what they want--that's the most important thing.

As a seasoned head coach, he has seen too many people who put in all the sweat and hard work and ended up getting nothing.

For them, the world is unfair.They have never given up their efforts, and they train more than others every day. Everyone also said that as long as they work hard, they will definitely get the results they want.

But this is a lie, it is used in novels and movies to comfort people.

The fact is that many people end up falling on the road of pursuing their dreams. They exhausted all their energy and failed to see what they wanted to see, the legendary "beautiful future".

In this way, it became a cold corpse that died on the road of pursuing ideals.No one is interested in those dead bodies on the side of the road, and no one wants to hear the stories of losers.

But there are too many such people.

At first Martin O'Neill would sympathize with them and feel sorry for them.After seeing everything, he became numb, and never felt sympathy for these losers again, because there were too many of them, and he couldn't sympathize with them at all.

Gradually, his heart hardened.

To this day, I have seen what Chen Yingxiong has done in the reserve team.

Just when the players in the reserve team thought that they would also become the corpses of those who fell on the road to pursue their dreams, Chen Yingxiong appeared in front of them and said to them: Even if you carry it, you must carry it to your destination!

He really did it!

He did it once last year, and everyone can consider it a coincidence and good luck.

But this year he did it again, is there anything else to say?

He is such a person who can always drive the people around him to improve himself desperately in order to follow his pace, almost like flying on the road of chasing dreams.

Well done, hero!
