Chapter 729 The Luck of the Cup King (Second Change, ask for a monthly ticket)
Throughout February, Liverpool continued their up-and-down run of excellent cup competitions and poor league performances.

On February 20th, in the No.1 round of the league, Liverpool drew 1:[-] with Tottenham Hotspur at home. Heroes continued to score goals, but they continued to be unable to bring the team a victory.

On February 20th, in the fifth round of the league's No.1 focus match, Liverpool lost 2:[-] away to Manchester United.Manchester United breathed a sigh of relief, while Liverpool continued to be unable to move in the quagmire of eighth in the league.

Chen Yingxiong has scored in four consecutive rounds. He scored five goals in four league rounds, but only brought four points to the team.

He worked very hard in every game, but the state of the Liverpool team was ups and downs, with ups and downs.

Now everyone can see that Liverpool's problem is indeed not about Chen Yingxiong's status, but that the whole team is rotten from the root.

Some people even began to question Chen Yingxiong's impulsive transfer decision.If he stays in Naples, or goes to another team, it will definitely be a hundred times better than it is now.

It's not that Chen Yingxiong's ability is not good, but that Liverpool has dragged him down.Many people think that if this situation continues, Chen Yingxiong will gradually be forgotten because he is in a team like Liverpool that can't even participate in the Europa League.

Chen Yingxiong's momentum last season was actually very good. If he can transfer to a well-known giant, he will definitely be able to reach a higher level.

For example, what Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Manchester United, Bayern, and the Milan duo are also available.

Reluctantly, he chose Liverpool.

Did he think he could bring Liverpool out of the quagmire and regain its glory by himself?
wishful thinking!

Football is a team sport. Even if Maradona is revered as God in Naples, there are people like Careca around him to assist him. Otherwise, he would not be able to play on his own.

Chen Yingxiong thought he could become the God of Liverpool, but unfortunately he is alone now.

In the sluggish performance in the league, Liverpool is very good in the FA Cup whether it is luck or performance.

They drew the Championship team Brighton in the fifth round of the FA Cup, and they still played at home.

This time, Dalglish did not continue to send all the main players to play.Because just seven days later, Liverpool will usher in the League Cup final at Wembley Stadium, and their opponent is Cardiff City.

In order to ensure the physical strength and state of the main players, most of them will not play in the FA Cup match against Brighton, and some of them did not even make the squad.

Chen Yingxiong was the one who didn't even make the big list.

He was replaced by Suarez.

Suarez has resumed training since early February. He came off the bench at the end of the last game against Manchester United and officially returned to the court.

However, the status still needs to be restored.He didn't contribute anything to the team when he came on against Manchester United.

The FA Cup match against Brighton is an excellent opportunity. The team is playing at home, and the opponent is not strong, so the pressure is relatively light.

As for Chen Yingxiong, he appeared in the VIP box at Anfield Stadium with the injured Gerrard to watch the game live.At the same time, it is also to cheer Suarez, who started for the first time after recovering from injury.

After that, he and Suarez became real friends.Although all Manchester City fans were offended by this, Chen Yingxiong thought it was worth it.

In the end, Liverpool beat Brighton 6-1 at home.

However, after Chen Yingxiong was gone, Liverpool's attack power still exposed a huge problem-this statement sounds very unreasonable, it is 6:1, there is still a problem with this attack power?So what kind of attack power is no problem?

But if you consider that three of these six goals are own goals sent by the opponent, it can explain the problem...

Poor Brighton scored a total of four goals in this game, and Liverpool only scored three. It stands to reason that the score should be 4:3, and Brighton advanced.But Brighton's players got the goal wrong, and they scored three goals in their own gate.Among them, their midfielder Ram Bridcarter is the tragic figure today. He scored twice in the game, but they all scored his own goals.

You know, although Skrtel scored a goal in the first 5 minutes of Liverpool's home game, but No. 17 minutes, Brighton's midfielder Lualua equalized for the team score.

Since then, Liverpool have been unable to find a way to score goals.

If the game continues like this, it's really hard to say who will win in the end.

At this moment, Breed Carter, Brighton's tragic figure, stepped forward and rescued the increasingly impatient Liverpool people.

He scored his first own goal of the game.

You must know that it is already No. 404 minutes at this time, and there is still 1 minute left before Brighton can walk into the locker room with an average head held high, while Liverpool players will continue to bear tremendous pressure.

His ball greatly affected Brighton's morale and allowed the Liverpool players to escape. At least their life at halftime was much easier.

Sure enough, only twelve minutes after the start of the second half, Dirk Dirk scored a goal for the team, and the score became 3:1.And Brighton began to crumble.

Brid Carter added fuel to the fire at this time and scored another own goal.This time even the commentator of the game broadcast couldn't stand it anymore, and kept moaning: "My God... My God... Poor Breed Carter, hapless Breed Carter, he is really good enough." Unfortunately……"

This is not over yet, just 3 minutes after Breed Carter scored an own goal, Brighton defender Dunk also scored an own goal, the score became 5:1, and the game was completely lost. suspense.

After watching such a game, it is really difficult to arouse too much interest in victory.It was really luck for Liverpool to win and their performance in the first half was a disgrace.

Dalglish also admitted after the game that the team was not happy with the win because "our performance was terrible..."

The only consolation for him is that Suarez, who started the game for the first time after returning from injury, was in good form. He scored the sixth goal for the team at the end of the game... No, it should be the third goal , locked the score of 6:1.

After the game, the media also said that Suarez was in such a state that many people were relieved-for the past three months, Liverpool can only rely on Chen Yingxiong. Chen Yingxiong is obviously struggling with one arm. Greatly reduce his pressure, but also can provide more firepower for the team.

From this point of view, Suarez will have great hopes of starting in the final of the League Cup... This is another insurance for Liverpool, who aspires to win the championship.

※ ※ ※

On February 26th, this day should be the No.20 sixth round of the Premier League, and the other 217 teams are fighting fiercely.According to the original schedule, Liverpool should usher in [-] Merseyside derbies at home.

Now the game has been postponed until March [-], just to make way for the League Cup final.

Liverpool's opponent in the final is Cardiff City, a team from the English Championship.

It is not a team at all. Many people think that this is an excellent time for Liverpool to end the embarrassing record of not having a championship in six years.

Even the local media in Cardiff City are not optimistic about the team's ability to defeat the powerful Liverpool-although Liverpool's performance in the league is not very strong, they are still well-deserved kings in the cup.

But why, Dalglish felt a little uneasy?

The night before the game, the team stayed at a hotel in London.They are going to the new Wembley Stadium tomorrow afternoon.

He has done everything that needs to be done. He has watched the tactical meeting. He is sure that everyone has a grasp of what they should do in tomorrow's game. The meeting of the coaching staff has also been held.For this final, he was fully prepared.

But why does he just feel uneasy?
Looking at the time, it was still early for him to go to bed, so he decided to go to the hotel bar for a drink or two.

This is a good way to relax. I may be a little too nervous... After 12 years away from the first-line coaches, this is the first time he has led the team to the final.

The Kings at Anfield also had their moments of nervousness.

※ ※ ※

In the bar, he met Chen Yingxiong.

In fact, there are not only Chen Yingxiong in the bar, but also many Liverpool players.According to the rules of the Liverpool team, players are prohibited from going out 24 hours before any game, so on the eve of the final, if you don't want to stare at boring TV programs in your room, you can only choose limited entertainment in the hotel The method-you can drink wine, but you can't drink too much, you can only drink a little.In addition, you can also play in the billiard room and table tennis room.Other than that, there is no other good entertainment.

There are also people who come to the hotel with their own entertainment tools. They are like moving house, with all kinds of game consoles stuffed into their luggage.

Chen Yingxiong is drinking at the bar.

He just looked at the task list on the Internet through his laptop, and he got a few new tasks-"League Cup Champion" is asking him to help the team win the League Cup. It is a team task. No matter how well he performs, as long as Liverpool Even if he wins the championship, he is done.

"The embarrassment of not having a championship for six years" is to ask Chen Yingxiong to score at least one goal in the final to help the team win the championship.End the embarrassment of not having a championship for six years.

There is another mission that is also a new mission, but this new mission is an upgraded version of the previous mission...

"Farewell King's Gift: Grand Slam": The King is leaving the team. As a legend of the club, he should have a decent curtain call. If you can beat your opponent in the final and help the team win the championship trophy, I I think he will be very pleased.Know that he is so supportive and caring about you, maybe he has a bad relationship with your friends, but he never takes his anger out on you.Kenny is a good guy and a fantastic player and coach, as a player and as a coach he won all the titles he could get, only one League Cup away.If he can win the League Cup, he will be the second head coach to win the Grand Slam after Ferguson and Mourinho.Also the first person to win a Grand Slam, either as a player or as a manager, that's a pretty remarkable achievement and a great farewell gift, isn't it?

In addition to the previous two rewards, there is also a new talent reward - "King's Ball Control Skills", which improves Chen Yingxiong's stability and accuracy in using his feet to control the ball.For heroes, this is also a good reward.

He was drinking a little wine here, and when he was thinking about how to complete the task, Dalglish appeared by his side.
