Chapter 824 Killing a chicken with a sledgehammer (second change, asking for a monthly ticket)

After a lapse of one year, Liverpool returned to the European war family. Their first European game of the season was at their home court against Sporting Lisbon from the Portuguese Super League.

Sporting Lisbon is a traditional giant in Portugal, tied with Porto and Benfica.However, the Portuguese League is a small European league, and there are only two places to participate in the Champions League, so even if Sporting Lisbon can finish third in the league, they still have to play in the Europa League.Not to mention that Sporting Lisbon only finished fifth in the league last season?Almost didn't even qualify for the Europa League.

In this group, perhaps Sporting Lisbon is considered to be the stronger team, the team that can most threaten Liverpool.

Anderlecht is slightly inferior. As for Slovenia's Grica, it is purely for soy sauce and points.

Liverpool must beat Sporting Lisbon at home to gain an advantage in qualifying for their group.

Liverpool value Sporting Lisbon very much, and Sporting Lisbon also values ​​Liverpool.After all, Liverpool has superstars like Gerrard and Chen Yingxiong in the team, and Suarez and Sanchez cannot be ignored.

In terms of strength, Liverpool is the strongest team in this group, followed by Sporting Lisbon, Anderlecht is slightly inferior, and Grica is the worst.

In addition, it is an away game, so Sporting Lisbon's strategy is to defend and counterattack.If you have a chance, counterattack and score, if you don't have a chance, you can't hold it firmly.Even if the last goal is not scored, as long as a draw can be achieved.This is a very good result in the away game.

But if Sporting Lisbon draws, where will Liverpool's interests be placed?
Liverpool certainly cannot bear to be tied by their opponents at home.

So in this game, Liverpool must attack and attack again!

"Hero!!! Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh! Hero!"

The old commentator at the Liverpool scene roared excitedly.

Just as excited as him were the tens of thousands of Liverpool fans at Anfield.

Everyone stood up from their seats, raised their arms and shouted: "Heroes——!!"

What made them so excited was definitely not because of Chen Yingxiong's outstanding performance or something, but because he scored a goal!

Only 6 minutes into the game, Chen Yingxiong opened the scoring for Liverpool!
"What a wonderful start! Liverpool leads Sporting Lisbon by one goal at home! The hero looks very good today!"

"I always think that it is a loss for a hero to participate in the Europa League. He should go to the Champions League. In the Europa League, he is completely overkill. In the Europa League, he can handle it with ease!"

※ ※ ※

After scoring the goal, Chen Yingxiong ran to the sidelines with open arms, then pulled up the corner flag and waved it high in his hands.

And his teammates quickly ran up and surrounded him, cheering and celebrating the goal together.

Martin O'Neill applauded with a smile on his face. Chen Yingxiong was in such a good state and had such a strong fighting spirit, which made him full of confidence in the team's qualifying.

He didn't know that Chen Yingxiong scored the goal so quickly because he not only wanted to help the team win the final championship, but also wanted to try his hand at the Europa League.Messi has scored 32 goals in the Champions League, the opponents in the Europa League are not as strong as the Champions League, and there are two more games - after the Champions League group stage, it will be the top [-], after the Europa League group stage, it will be the top [-] - —In this case, how can I score fewer goals than him?
Therefore, Chen Yingxiong intends to score crazy goals in the Europa League, surpassing Messi's [-] goals. He wants to let the whole of Europe and the world see that what Messi can do, I can do, and Do better than him!

So he scored in the 6th minute of this game.

At that time, Sanchez made a pass, which was not a particularly good opportunity, but Chen Yingxiong used his body to squeeze away the Sporting Lisbon defender who was defending him, and then used the facing bone of his calf to smash the football into the goal.An unconventional shooting action, but the effect is very good.

Chen Yingxiong's goal opened the door to victory for Liverpool.

Gerrard scored in 9 minutes to extend the score to 2:0.Although No.701 minutes Sporting Lisbon striker Ricky Wolfswinkel scored a goal for Lisbon.

But this still can't change their defeat.

No. In the 808th minute, Chen Yingxiong shot a cold arrow from outside the penalty area, and the football rushed into the lower right corner of the goal against the turf, scoring twice!

After scoring the goal, Chen Yingxiong lifted his right trousers leg, revealing his strong and thick thigh muscles, and then he made a movement of pulling the bolt.In order to show off his powerful right leg, this long-range shot was hit with his right foot.

In the end, relying on his two goals and Gerrard's goal, Liverpool defeated the incoming Sporting Lisbon 3:1 at home.Give yourself a good start in this season's Europa League.

There was no suspense in the game in another stadium. Anderlecht, Belgium, defeated Grica 2-0 at home.Now in the group standings, Liverpool has one more goal than Anderlecht, beating the Belgian team and ranking first in the group.

After the game, the Liverpool media praised Chen Yingxiong's two goals for making Liverpool's voice heard again in Europe.

"The hero's brace is Liverpool's strongest voice in Europe! He told Europe that the Red Army is back!!"

Liverpool fans are also excited.Although it's only the Europa League, it's better than not even playing in the Europa League, right?

Last season, both Manchester United and Manchester City were eliminated from the Champions League to the Europa League. As a result, they were both eliminated in the first round of the knockout round.At that time, many fans of other teams in England were laughing at these two rather unpopular teams.Liverpool fans don't, because they don't even have the right to laugh at others.

No matter what others say, those who have participated in the Champions League and Europa League successively can only hang out in China.

Well now, Liverpool fans are also a little elated.

Most importantly, the excellent performance of this first game gave Liverpool fans hope. Maybe Liverpool really has something to do this time?

※ ※ ※

After finishing the Europa League, Liverpool ushered in the sixth round of the league after only two days of rest.

Liverpool challenged Southampton away, because the distance between the two games was too close.Martin O'Neill made a rotation. He put many main players, including Chen Yingxiong, on the bench. The result of this was that Liverpool was tied 0:0 by Southampton in the away game.

Although the five-game winning streak ended, O'Neal was not heartbroken.In an interview after the game, he said that rotation is necessary, because this season Liverpool is facing a two-line battle. In order to allocate physical fitness reasonably, so as not to qualify before Christmas, the team must rotate.He also said that there is no absolute main force in the team, and people like Chen Yingxiong can sit on the bench.

O'Neill is not perfunctory media, what he said is true.If the team does not have a high rotation, I am afraid that even if they qualify for the Europa League group, the situation in the league may not be very good.

The top four in the league this season must be won. In order to get the top four in the league, the results in the first half of the league are very important.Even if we can't get the top four in the first half, we can't be left too far by the top four.

In order to excel on both fronts, rotation is necessary.

Some media also intend to provoke the relationship between Chen Yingxiong and Martin O'Neill. These media are basically from Manchester.

They thought that Chen Yingxiong must have been very upset with Martin O'Neill after sitting on the bench for nine to 10 minutes in this game, so as long as they provoked them with words, the relationship between the two might collapse.If the generals are at odds, Liverpool will not be able to threaten Manchester City or Manchester United.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yingxiong said that it doesn't matter if he sits on the bench.

"Whether it's Dirk or Klashnic, they are very good players. I don't think I have to be the main starter. A draw? We're just unlucky, not that the rotation policy is bad."

This answer surprised the reporters—when did Chen Yingxiong become so talkative?You must know that his temper was very fucked before...

They didn't know that Chen Yingxiong didn't want to give up on both the league and the Europa League. He wanted the top four in the league, and he wanted the Europa League champion. Since that was the case, he naturally agreed with the head coach's rotation policy.After all, he also knows that rotation is a strategy that the team must adopt when facing multi-line battles.

Without rotation, the team will never go that far.

He absolutely does not want the team to lose momentum and be eliminated after reaching the knockout stage of the Europa League.

For this reason, he also intends to instill in the locker room to his teammates that "the Europa League is very important, we need a champion of sufficient weight to arouse the enthusiasm and hope of the fans"...and so on.

It is to keep teammates from losing motivation and fighting spirit in the knockout stage of the Europa League.

The failure to sow dissension succeeded, which disappointed the Manchester media.

However, the rotation policy allowed Liverpool to end their winning streak, which is also good news.

This is their first rotation this season, and it can be seen that Liverpool are not quite used to rotation.Otherwise, they could actually beat Fulham away.

Now these media can only hope that Liverpool will continue to be so uncomfortable...

If you lose a few more games, Martin O'Neal may return the team to the state before the rotation due to pressure, squeeze the main lineup desperately, and then completely collapse when the Christmas schedule comes... Even if you Chen Yingxiong's physical fitness Well, in good health, you won't be exhausted or injured, but you can't control other people, the other Liverpool players are not iron-clad!
