Chapter 1671 The Warring States Era of European Football
During this period of time, the media was full of articles and special reports about Chen Yingxiong's upcoming retirement.

The media have already made a plan, starting from the first season of Chen Yingxiong's career, reviewing more than 20 episodes, and this is only the plan of a few media, and other media have also shown their talents.

What are "[-] most exciting games of Chen Yingxiong's career", "[-] most exciting goals of Chen Yingxiong's career", "[-] classic moments of Chen Yingxiong's career", "Chen Yingxiong Career Controversy Shots "Ahh...

On the Internet, it is even more serious. Videos about Chen Yingxiong are almost flooded, and everyone is remembering Chen Yingxiong by making videos.

Although Chen Yingxiong's temper and character were controversial at the beginning, it has been more than 20 years. With countless wonderful goals and management, he has captured a large number of fans all over the world for him.

This really makes those who are unhappy with Chen Yingxiong feel desperate... because it means that from now on until Chen Yingxiong actually retires, every time they turn on the TV, computer, or open the newspaper, they will be able to see Chen Yingxiong's name and photo.

The whole world is discussing Chen Yingxiong, and even the financial media are talking about Chen Yingxiong's success in commercial developers...

People who hated Chen Yingxiong hated Chen Yingxiong's name on the screen to the extreme.

After Newman Gies tore off the disguise, he no longer showed himself as a "supporter of Chen Yingxiong", but appeared in front of everyone as "a staunch hero black". Facing this scene, he Openly stated that it "disgusted him".

"...We are a democratic country, a free country, but in this democratic and free country, a disgusting thing is happening! Countless people are cultivating another person! This thing is appalling We can worship God, but Chen Yingxiong is obviously not God! This is England! It is not a place where Chen Yingxiong runs a dictatorship!"

However, what he said was just to let himself vent his anger - he might not be able to vent it yet.So blatantly and far-fetchedly linking football and politics together, this kind of article is too low-level, so no one wants to publish his article, and finally he has to publish it on his blog.

But it is really uninteresting.

Because he's utterly gibberish already.Even his hard-core fans can see the flaws at a glance, it is really hard to praise his stinky feet.

There are not many people who can directly express their thoughts like Guice, because they really can't find any good excuses and a good entry point. If they forcibly oppose Chen Yingxiong, they will think of Newman Guice Like that idiot, he was regarded as a psychopath.

Although they all like to watch clowns, no one likes to be a clown.

So they could only keep their dislike for Chen Yingxiong in their hearts, and at the same time comfort themselves: Anyway, this bastard is going to leave soon!Then you will never see his disgusting face again!No more headaches over how to deal with him!
Those damned media actually said that without Chen Yingxiong, it would be very lonely?Lonely ghost!
Who will miss him?We won't anyway!

Chen Yingxiong must not care about the nostalgia of those enemies.

He is not in the mood to think about retiring now, there are still important things to do before retiring.

The overall situation of the domestic league has been decided. Although Liverpool is still one goal behind Arsenal, the whole world thinks that Liverpool will win, and he himself thinks so.

Another very important thing is naturally the Champions League.

Champion and top scorer in the Champions League.

He currently has [-] goals in the Champions League, ranking second in the Champions League scorer list.

Barcelona's Quick scored fourteen goals.

The difference between the two sides is three goals.

Chen Yingxiong can still play at least two games. With his strength, it is not difficult to score three goals in these two games.

And this time Liverpool's opponent in the semi-finals is not Barcelona, ​​but Bayern Munich from Germany, which is also a veteran giant.

It is also the team that has won the Champions League in the six seasons when Liverpool missed the Champions League.

As if it can be arranged, in Liverpool's Champions League matches this season, apart from Barcelona and Real Madrid, they have already met the other four teams that have won the Champions League.In addition to Inter Milan, Manchester United and Bayern Munich in the knockout stage, there is another team from Juventus in Italy. They met Liverpool in the group stage.Liverpool was second in that group, with Juventus finishing first.

However, in the two group stage contests, the two teams won one and lost one, and both won each other at their respective home courts.

This is like a journey of revenge for Liverpool.

One by one, starting with Juventus, they came up against the teams that snatched the Champions League title from them.

Since they will not let go of Arsenal who stole their league title, then they will naturally not let these teams go.

And if Liverpool can break into the Champions League final, their opponent will be one of Barcelona and Real Madrid, and they will encounter the team that snatched their championship in the final.It's no wonder that such an arrangement is thought to be intentional - UEFA manipulated the draw results not once or twice for the sake of watching the game and the ratings of the TV broadcasting agencies.

Although this kind of feeling is not very good, but this kind of game may meet the expectations of those audiences.

Commercialization and television have held football hostage for so many years, and it's hard to tell now whether the sport is developing according to its own laws, or if it's seen as a forced trajectory.

Take the UEFA Champions League, which is the highest level in the world today, for example. The managers of UEFA obviously know what kind of games the audience and fans want to see, so they try to dedicate such games to the audience as much as possible.

For example, this time Real Madrid and Barcelona met in the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Although after the results of the match came out, many people would shout: "This is too fake!"

But more people shouted: "This is so cool! The battle of the century on the Champions League stage is the real battle of the century!"

Very contradictory, isn't it?Although everyone criticizes the manipulation, there is hope to see the game they are looking forward to.So didn't UEFA's approach come into being?

Therefore, to say that UEFA has manipulated football, it is better to say that the expectations of the audience and the commercial interests of the market they represent manipulate football.

The development of television broadcasting and the growth of commercial sponsorship have made the UEFA Champions League the most profitable project of UEFA.UEFA has also changed from the simplest manager to a screenwriter, and has begun to take the initiative to write and direct some "classic football matchups" by itself.

In fact, many people also know this, but they just like to see those "famous games".

Therefore, scolding UEFA for being unfair does not at all prevent them from being excited for those classic duels.

In this process, UEFA has no loss, the audience has no loss, and the TV media and advertising sponsors have no loss.Even those big teams didn't feel like they had suffered any losses.

So who is the loser?
※ ※ ※

After playing against Arsenal, Liverpool entered the Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich.

This time they play away first and then at home.

The schedule works for them, but they don't care.

Liverpool has never dismissed the idea that any schedule arrangement may affect the outcome of the game.

It doesn't matter whether you play home or away first, as long as you win the ball, it will be fine.
It's so simple, it solves a problem that many people think has no solution.

Is it important to play home first and away first?

Liverpool's strong performance put their semi-final opponents Bayern Munich in danger.

Originally, when Liverpool was drawn to Inter Milan, it also attracted ridicule from those giants. Everyone thought that Liverpool's delusion to rely on a 40-year-old guy to seek benefits in the Champions League is really ridiculous.

Liverpool have not been able to claim European football's highest accolade since losing the Champions League title in the Champions League final six seasons ago.

Although Chen Yingxiong led the team to make continuous efforts, they failed to win again.Even if they can make it to the finals, they can only return home without feathers, as if they were cursed.

In the eyes of these giants, Liverpool should have missed the Champions League.

In the England arena, Liverpool still monopolizes the championship, and it seems that the Warring States Era, when all heroes compete for hegemony, will not come until Chen Yingxiong retires.In European football, the Warring States Period began six years ago.

The giants compete with each other to stay together and defend, competing for the Big Ears Cup.

Only Liverpool was excluded from the circle.

It seems that Liverpool is no longer a giant.

But how can a team that is a local league champion every year be so overlooked?
It's not the "curse" that's to blame.

When Liverpool met Inter Milan, everyone had this mentality. They felt that this year’s Champions League still had no place for Liverpool. Anyway, they would definitely be eliminated, either in the quarter-finals or in the quarter-finals .

In addition, Chen Yingxiong has been suspended for nine months, so no one can say how he is doing.A better performance in the Premier League does not explain the problem. Liverpool has always monopolized the Premier League championship. Isn't it difficult to make progress in the Champions League?
Even if Liverpool wins Inter Milan, there are many giants who despise them.

But with Chen Yingxiong's terrifying performance, they seemed to have seen the omnipotent Chen Yingxiong back then.

They just started to have a sense of crisis.

After Manchester United also lost at the feet of Liverpool without any suspense, their opponents Bayern Munich in the semi-finals had to be cautious...
