Chapter 345 This is Anfield! (Guarantee the first change, ask for a monthly pass!)

Chen Yingxiong, who returned to Naples, did not have time to fulfill his promise to take the food, drink and play band to relax, because the team will leave for the away game soon.

This time they flew farther, instead of wandering around in Italy, they went to England.

Target Liverpool!
It's the first group game in Group E of the UEFA Champions League, with Liverpool hosting Napoli.

※ ※ ※

Liverpool used to be a well-known heavy industrial base and port in the British Empire.During the Industrial Revolution, it was very glorious here. As the British Empire expanded their territory overseas, Liverpool became a world-famous city.

After the New World was included in the territory of British explorers, many British colonists set off from Liverpool to Africa, South America and Asia.The ships departing here are always loaded with various guns and firearms, as well as England's specialty textiles, plus glassware and other commodities that can be mass-produced in the early days of the Industrial Revolution.In Africa, while expanding the territory, the colonists engaged in a large number of criminal black slave trades, exchanged these cheap products with local chiefs for black slaves, and then transported the plundered slaves to America for another transaction with the American colonists , and then in exchange for raw materials such as cotton, sugar and tobacco, returned to the European continent as raw materials for large-scale industrial production.

This large-scale triangular trade across the world quickly made Liverpool the second largest port in the UK, second only to the Port of London.In the [-]th century, the invention of the steam engine changed the mode of human transportation, and the steamship doubled the efficiency of shipping, and Liverpool's shipping became even busier.Freight transported finished products from Manchester, Birmingham and Sheffield all over the world, and brought back slaves and raw materials from Africa and the Americas.Passenger transport here is also very prosperous. From the early nineteenth century to the eve of the Second World War, nearly ten million people set off from Liverpool to North America and Africa.Many Britons and Irish also took this place as a port of departure to settle in North America.

At that time, the city of Liverpool was filled with the roar of machines every day, the sky was densely covered with black smoke from chimneys, industrial sewage flowed in the mouth of the Mersey River, and the Albert Dock was moored with tourists from all over the world, and soon-to-be Ships sailing to all over the world, amidst the crowds, is a lively scene.

Today, the factory has gradually become a museum and a place where concerts are held.Many factories were abandoned.Instead of those busy scenes, the Albert Dock has become the tourist center of Liverpool.It is no longer famous for its industry, but for its music and culture, as well as its football.

The "Beatles", also known as "The Beatles", was born here, which influenced the cultural trend of the whole world in the last century. Every popular song can be popular all over the world, breaking through hell, culture and people. The boundaries of species have become the universal language of the world.

There are also two famous teams in England and the world - Liverpool and Everton.

In fact, Chen Yingxiong is not unfamiliar with Liverpool, because when he played for Zenit St. Petersburg, he came to Liverpool to play, but at that time their opponent was Everton, who was not as famous as Liverpool.

This time, he came again, and his opponent was replaced by a stronger and more famous Liverpool.

※ ※ ※

Chen Yingxiong is no stranger to the city of Liverpool, and Liverpool is no stranger to him.

As early as when he was still playing for Zenit, the game against Everton had already made many Liverpool people know him. After the game, Liverpool’s newspapers even wrote an article to introduce the player who played against Everton. Outstanding Chinese players.

Tell everyone: "Be careful, bears are infested!"

Now, the giant bear is back, how could Liverpool remain indifferent?
At the airport, Chen Yingxiong was the Naples player who received the most interviews from the local media, as if in Liverpool, he was the number one star in Naples.

Chen Yingxiong first said that he is no stranger to Liverpool.

"Because I've been here, Liverpool is a special city, it's fantastic, I love it here."

Many Liverpool reporters who said this were smiling, and their opponents were overwhelmed by the charm of their city... This made them quite proud.

But how could Chen Yingxiong be the kind of person who would do whatever others wanted him to do?

So after praising Liverpool, he suddenly changed the subject: "But I will not show mercy!"

A group of Liverpool reporters were stunned, but the Italian and Chinese reporters next to them were struggling to hold back their laughter.

"Liverpool is not Everton!" Finally a Liverpool fan reporter retorted.

"I'm not who I used to be." Chen Yingxiong replied very naturally.

The Chinese reporters who followed him laughed.

This sentence is true in the literal sense.

Of course Liverpool is not Everton. It looks stronger than Everton, but Chen Yingxiong is no longer the old Chen Yingxiong. He is more mature than before, and he is also getting stronger.

Naples is also stronger than Zenit St. Petersburg. Arshavin, Cassano, Hamsik, and De Jong are all well-known and powerful stars.

For this answer, Liverpool's reporters were completely unsure.

Because what people said is normal, it is impossible that Chen Yingxiong has not improved in the past two years.Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to win the top scorer in Serie A, let alone win the Golden Boot of the Russian Super League in eleven rounds of the league.

But it still makes people feel very uncomfortable to hear!
It's crazy!

In front of England's century-old giants, you, a 21-year-old boy, what qualifications do you have to be so arrogant and reckless?

You have to know that the course you step on is different from any other course in the world.

Because that's Anfield!

※ ※ ※

"This_is_Anfield!"

Before Chen Yingxiong stepped onto the court, he looked up at the nameplate on the lintel directly above, and there was such a sentence engraved on it.

It is said that this sentence is very famous. It was the legendary Liverpool coach Shankly who asked the workers to put it on. It is used to remind every visiting team player who enters the stadium from here - this is Anfield, and it is the great Liverpool who are fighting with you!

But Chen Yingxiong just glanced at it, then lowered his head - he was afraid of knocking his own head.

In the past day, the local media in Liverpool described his arrogance and arrogance vividly and vividly.His goodwill and praise for the city of Liverpool?That will of course be erased.

Chen Yingxiong believes that he will definitely receive "special treatment" from the opponent's fans in this game.

But he's used to it.

Naples' home stadium San Paolo is known as the most terrifying home stadium in Italy. Countless teams have felt the taste of hell everywhere.

But they only have to experience it once a season. Chen Yingxiong has played all the home games in hell for a whole season. The fanatical momentum of the Naples fans has not been able to overwhelm him, let alone Anfield?
When the players from both sides began to enter the field, there were also loud singing outside at random.

This singing is not as impassioned as other clubs' singing, full of dynamic rhythm, just like good pop music.The singing voice is melodious and deep, majestic and majestic.

This is Liverpool's famous team song "You'll Never Walk Alone" (Youll_Never_Walk_Alone).

"When you walk through the storm, please hold your head up, don't be afraid of the dark, because after the storm is a bright sky... You will never walk alone, never walk alone!"

The game has not yet started, Liverpool fans have already created an atmosphere, the whole stadium is full of their voices, although Naples has as many as 8000 fans who followed the team to the away game this time, but they were finally able to enter the stadium There are only 5000 lucky people, and more people can only cheer for the team in the parks and squares outside the stadium.

The Naples players couldn't hear their cheering, and naturally they couldn't suppress the singing of the Liverpool fans.

※ ※ ※

Chen Yingxiong guessed right. When he got the ball, he would hear boos from the stands.

Those fans had already put down the scarves they were holding and stopped singing "You Will Never Walk Alone". Instead, they used swear words and boos to disturb Chen Yingxiong and other away team players.

This is England fans, you don't want them to be quiet for even a minute during the game.They are always singing, applauding and shouting.Because that's how they fight.

In the KOP stand, which can accommodate more than 1 people, although all plastic seats have been installed, the fans here still choose to stand and watch the game.They are the hardest-working group of people, and almost all the momentum that leads the Anfield fans is created from here.

Of course, they are also the main force of Chen Yingxiong.

When Chen Yingxiong took a shot but hit the plane, there was a gloating whistle in the stands.

In today's game, Naples performed very poorly.

Perhaps it was the first UEFA Champions League group match. Many people were nervous, their bodies were stiff, their minds were blank, and they didn't know what to do.

That was worse than their performance at Genoa's home stadium, the Ferraris.

Is it the first UEFA Champions League game? I always want to perform better, but the more I do this, the less I can perform at a normal level.

Chen Yingxiong has no psychological burden, but he needs the support of his teammates, so when the whole team cannot perform at a normal level, his performance will naturally not be much better...

In comparison, Liverpool's performance is much more stable.

Although the performance in the Premier League is not very good, at any rate, a giant team that has only won the Champions League for a few years has a very good tradition in the Champions League, just like Real Madrid.Regardless of how they are suppressed by others in the domestic league, those stars will be excited when they play in the Champions League.

Liverpool is now the team that has won the most Champions League titles in history, second only to Real Madrid.

What's more, their head coach is the Spanish tactician Rafael Benitez (Rafael_Benitez_Maudes), who is known as a "cup expert". It is really not difficult to deal with a group match.

Liverpool, who played at home, showed a good competitive state from the beginning, and they launched a siege to Naples' goal.

And what about Naples?Then he shrank in his own half, with a pitiful look that could only hug his head and be beaten, and had no power to fight back.

Liverpool's commentator sneered: "Yes, yes, of course Liverpool is not Everton. How can Everton be compared with Liverpool? But in my opinion, Naples is not the original Zenit St. Petersburg. As for Chen Yingxiong? Sorry, I didn't see him, did he play?"
