Hero of the Penalty Area

Chapter 92 "The Outdated People" (third update, ask for a monthly pass!)

"Drinking too much alcohol before the game is not good."

Chen Yingxiong turned his head and followed the sound, and found that the head coach was standing beside him.

"I haven't started drinking yet, boss." Chen Yingxiong pointed to his glass, which was indeed full.

Dalglish sat down beside him and beckoned for a beer from the bartender.

"Tomorrow's final, are you nervous, hero?" Dalglish asked the hero Chen next to him after taking a sip.

"What's so nervous?" Chen Yingxiong asked in surprise.

Dalglish saw his surprised look, not as if it were pretended, and then he understood it and smiled: "Yes, you are all players who have participated in the Champions League finals. Such a League Cup final is really true. I didn't pay attention to it."

"But... I'm a little nervous," he said.

Chen Yingxiong was a little strange that the head coach actually came to say such things to himself. Dalglish is the king of Anfield, and he is always strong in front of others. Nervous for a League Cup... aren't you, boss?

Seeing the surprise in Chen Yingxiong's eyes, Dalglish knew he didn't believe he would be nervous.

"After all, this is the first final in the twelve years since I left the position of head coach, and... the League Cup has extraordinary significance to me-as a head coach, I am missing a League Cup." said Then, Dalglish laughed.

"I've won the FA Cup, won the League Championship, and I'm just one League Cup. This is my last season at Liverpool, and I don't know if I will continue to coach... Those people are right. As a coach of a wealthy team, I have not worked on the front line for twelve years. I don’t know much about the world of football today, and some of them can’t keep up with the times. So I hope I can fulfill this wish-to get my coaching career. The Grand Slam..."

Chen Yingxiong's heart jumped, and the task appeared in his mind-it really is! With such an urgent desire, it is no wonder that the reward for this task is so generous...

"This is my wish. Perhaps it is just because I want to win this championship so eagerly that I am a little nervous..." Dalglish laughed at himself generally.

Chen Yingxiong looked at this old man who usually treats himself well, and blurted out: "Don't worry, boss. We've got this championship!"

"So sure?"

"Of course." Chen Yingxiong nodded.

"Don't put pressure on what I said, hero..."

"I'm not stressed, actually...well, whether you say these things or not, I want to win the League Cup, boss." Chen Yingxiong scratched his head and smiled. "Champion, who doesn't love it?"

Dalglish repeatedly chewed Chen Yingxiong's last words.

"Champions, who doesn't love... Well said, hero. We all love championships. Now Liverpool hasn't had a championship for six years. This situation is a mistake in itself, and this mistake must be corrected."

Chen Yingxiong thought of another thing: "Boss, if we won the League Cup, then the FA Cup, and finally qualified for the Champions League, don't you need to leave?"

He just thought about it. Chen Xing and the others felt that Dalglish was not suitable to be the head coach of the team because of his poor coaching performance. If the team scores well, Dalglish has no reason to leave, right?

Dalglish laughed after hearing Chen Yingxiong's remarks. He was pleased for Chen Yingxiong's support for him-his return to coach Liverpool this time was not as defeated as they said. At least there was someone who supported him. mine!

He also laughed at Chen Yingxiong's naivety. My departure is not a simple reason for my poor record...

"This matter, even if we win the Premier League title, I will go. And I am not fired, I want to go."

"Hey, it's said outside that you are being..."

Dalglish smiled: "The contract is there. If I don't agree, I can still stay. But I thought about it. If everyone says my departure is a good thing for Liverpool's revival, then I can leave. …I have considered these days. There are many problems for Liverpool. I am not the only one, but my departure can really help solve these problems. So, even if we can win all the championships, I will leave. And Hero, do you think Liverpool’s current problem can be solved by one or two champions?"

Chen Yingxiong thought for a while, and then shook his head: "I don't know much, but I wonder if we have a championship, will we have more time to... do something? I always feel that the team is a little bit unconfident now. At the point of setback, it's easy to become impatient. It's not like a giant team... When I played in Naples, we didn't have such a performance. Maybe the championship can bring confidence?

Dalglish smiled: "The champion can only bring arrogant and frivolous capital to Liverpool now, not confidence. This team...it's indeed time for a big change. All I can do is make this The process is less painful."

The future of a club, this topic is too deep for today's Chen Yingxiong. His knowledge and experience are not enough to support him to consider such deep-seated issues, such as why winning the championship can only bring to Liverpool today. Arrogant and frivolous capital?

Seeing him frowning and thinking, Dalglish couldn't help laughing again. This person is sometimes a responsible man, and sometimes looks like an innocent child. Some people say that he is good, some people think that his face is hateful, the coaches are eager to have him, and they have a headache how to treat him... It's a collection of contradictions. He felt that his relationship with Chen Yingxiong was very good, maybe he had a good impression of this straightforward person at first glance.

From Chen Yingxiong, he vaguely saw the demeanor of those players in the ***10s of the last century.

Today’s world football is really getting monotonous...

People like heroes are about to become giant pandas.

So he supports Chen Yingxiong, no matter what ridiculous things he does, he will stand by Chen Yingxiong. Even if there are disagreements, they will never openly express them.

"Don't think about it, hero. Of course everyone loves championships. So try your best to win a championship tomorrow!" He patted Chen Yingxiong on the shoulder, and then drank the beer in his glass.

Putting down the wine glass, he got up and left.

Chen Yingxiong turned his head to look at the back of the boss, and suddenly felt that he, who had been upright all the time, was a little rickety.

In fact, the boss is not tall, he is only 1.73 meters tall. Now that he is older, he has a tendency to shrink. But in the minds of many Liverpool players, perhaps the title of "King Kenny" is too loud, and many people look up to him.

In the training ground and locker room, he is always full of aura, even in the face of his mortal enemy Ferguson, he is not inferior. He tried to inculcate these people with such ideas as "what is the spirit of Liverpool" and "what does the name Liverpool mean", and seems to want to pass his mantle down to future generations.

But for now, the results have been minimal.

The name "Liverpool" is far less important than money and reputation. Relying on the loyalty and identity to Liverpool to retain players is outdated... Yes, the boss is right, he is indeed outdated.

Even if you can win the championship, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep anyone, right? These years, there is no money to talk about feelings...

Chen Yingxiong shook his head. He seemed to begin to understand why Dalglish must leave even if he had a championship in the end.

It's really a tragedy for outdated people to lead a giant team that wants to revive in this era!

After drinking the wine in the glass, he also got up and left.

All he can do is win the only championship he missed in his coaching career for the boss in tomorrow's game. At the very least, he was asked to leave with regret.

If there is no mission, without the background of Dalglish's departure, a League Cup hero Chen is really not in the eye. He has played for Zenit St. Petersburg and Naples, and he doesn't pay much attention to the domestic cups. In Naples, Mazzari did not even let Chen Yingxiong play in the Coppa Italia in order to specialize in the domestic league and the Champions League.

Therefore, Chen Yingxiong himself lacks knowledge of domestic cup competitions, and feels it is tasteless, but any team that can compete for the domestic league championship will look down on it.

What's more, the League Cup is more tasteless than the FA Cup, and he doesn't look down on it at all.

But now, he has to take it seriously and give full play to it.

※※※

On February 26, before the final against Cardiff, most of Liverpool's players were watching other ongoing Premier League games.

The focus of this round is the Arsenal home and Tottenham Hotspur's North London Derby.

This is the most famous derby battle in London, even Liverpool players will pay attention. Just as the game of the century between Real Madrid and Barcelona is not something that only fans of the two teams will go to watch.

Although everyone is a Liverpool player, there is still a second home team in mind... Some people support Tottenham, some people like Arsenal.

Neither team nor Liverpool has any deep hatred, and there is no psychological burden to support them.

Tottenham's start was perfect. Saha broke the deadlock for the team in the fourth minute and the visiting team took the lead.

Then Adebayor used a penalty kick to expand the score for Tottenham in the 34th minute.

It looks like Arsenal are going to lose this North London derby at home.

Arsenal's life is not easy this season. They were beaten 8-2 by Manchester United in the away game, which scared many people at that time. After Wenger released Fabregas, the team went from bad to worse, and rumors that he was going to leave get out of class were also rampant.

It's a bit of a sibling with Liverpool today.

But now Arsenal are ranked fourth, this result can still participate in the UEFA Champions League qualifying next season.

In any case, life is better than Liverpool.

Liverpool players can only see here, because they are going to Wembley Stadium to prepare for the League Cup final later.

On the way to Wembley Stadium, everyone is still discussing Tottenham and Arsenal's North London Derby. Whether supporting Arsenal or supporting Tottenham, everyone thinks that Tottenham’s third player Gareth Bale is simply a genius! He is the key figure for Tottenham to lead Arsenal with two goals. Saha's goal was his assist, and Adebayor's handball was also made by him...

"It would be great if such a person could come to Liverpool!" Someone said this, and then they were ridiculed.

"Don't think about it, it's impossible! People are now ranked higher than us!"

"Yes, Tottenham have the opportunity to participate in the Champions League..."

This topic was quickly exposed by everyone, and no one mentioned it again. They began to discuss who will win Arsenal or Tottenham.
