Hero of the Penalty Area

The team was not able to rest after the Christmas dinner. The team ended training early on Christmas Day and asked everyone to go back and spend the holiday with their families. Although tomorrow is the home game against Southampton, Martin O'Neal did not let everyone stay at the hotel one day in advance as usual, but arranged for the players to go home, considering that today is Christmas. The significance of this day in the Western world is no less than that of the Spring Festival in China. At this time, if you arrange for everyone to stay in a hotel, it will only make the players dissatisfied and have no intention of preparing for the game, which will affect the players' state.

Just go home on holiday.

Hero Chen returned home and spent a warm Christmas with Cabrera. The only regret is that the atmosphere can no longer be created anymore, and Chen Yingxiong will naturally be unable to succeed. Thinking of this, Chen Yingxiong gritted his teeth at West Ham United and Allardys.

Cabrera has just arrived in Liverpool. After Christmas together, she will accompany Chen Yingxiong back to China. My parents have not actually met my son's current girlfriend. This time my father's 50th birthday, how can I take my beautiful foreign girlfriend back to support my father. Elderly people, sometimes they have a good face, so they bring Cabrera home by themselves to make sure that their parents' faces are bright, and they are too happy.

The next morning, the players returning home to celebrate the festival one after another came to Liverpool's designated hotel to stay, and then gathered together to watch the recent Southampton game video edited by the coaching staff. Understand their characteristics and status. Supplemented by Martin O'Neal's commentary, they have a deep understanding of what the opponent looks like this time.

I had lunch at the hotel at noon. After lunch break and simple strength training in the afternoon, I set off for the stadium.

Southampton is the newly promoted horse this season. They are not strong. In addition, Liverpool is at their home court. They just defeated Manchester United in the last round of the league. The morale is high. The Christmas dinner also played the same role. This game The result can be imagined.

Although in the sixth round of the league, Southampton once drew Liverpool at his home court, but in that game Liverpool had a rotation. Many main players, including Chen Yingxiong, did not make it, and the Liverpool team was not very good. Adapt to various changes brought about by rotation. But it's completely different now.

In the end, Liverpool defeated Southampton 4:1 at home. Chen Yingxiong scored one goal and assisted two goals in this game and was named the best player.

There is an explanation, and if this continues, Chen Yingxiong has to dig an underground wine cellar in his own home to put the champagne for the best player award.

In the next away game at Wigan Athletic, Martin O'Neal continued to rotate, and players including Chen Yingxiong sat on the bench.

Even so, Liverpool still won Wigan Athletic 2:1 away.

The league played 19 rounds, half of the schedule, Liverpool currently ranked first in the league, scoring 42 goals, conceding 12 goals, and accumulating 47 points. This result is Liverpool's best result in the league since entering the new century. In the past half-season, the Liverpool players have never been so proud and happy. Every game is really enjoyable for them, even if they lose one or two games, no one will panic.

Even when the league is only halfway through, many Liverpool players think they can participate in the Champions League next season.

Manchester City are one point less than them, ranking second. Manchester United ranks third with four points less, and Arsenal, who is one point less than Manchester United, is fourth.

The next step is the game against Manchester City.

This is the first time Liverpool have met Manchester City in the new season. It stands to reason that in the league, the same opponent played once last season and again in the second half of the season, but this season is so strange. The first encounter between Liverpool and Manchester City was in the second half of the season. But the two matches against Southampton this season have been completed.

In the penultimate round of the league, Liverpool will also welcome Manchester City at home. If by that time, it is still the current situation, that game will definitely be dubbed "a game to determine the championship."

But now, it's still early.

Martin O'Neal looked at his opponents on the next round, and suddenly realized that he was a little nervous and moved...

This is not a final. Why is he moving and nervous?

Because he thought of his bet with Chen Yingxiong.

He jokingly rejected Chen Yingxiong, but what if Chen Yingxiong really scored five goals in the game?

Do you really want to allow him to return to China?

O'Neill shook his head-this chance is too low, right? He does not believe that Chen Yingxiong can complete the feat of scoring five goals in any designated game. Even for someone like Messi, if you designate a game to make him score five dollars, I'm afraid it will not be easy, let alone Chen Yingxiong...

But there was a thought in my heart that couldn't help but want to turn it up-what if he really did it?

If he really does it, do you really want to let him go?

Martin O'Neal neither hopes this is the case, but also vaguely expects that he wants to witness such a great scene in the game.

Five balls! The opponent is still a team like Manchester City. If it can be achieved, I believe it will be a great boost to the morale of the team, but it will be a huge blow to Manchester City. It will kill two birds with one stone...

He is in conflict.

When Martin O'Neill was struggling with inner conflict, Chen Yingxiong was packing his luggage with Cabrera.

"Is that so sure you can score five goals in the game against Manchester City?" Cabrera asked while packing.

"If you can't finish it, you must finish it! This is a dead task and must be completed!" Chen Yingxiong put the birthday gift he bought for his parents into the suitcase.

"What if it can't be done?"

Hero Chen raised his head and looked at Cabrera: "In my dictionary, there is no ‘what if’." Then he continued to pack his things. "I've booked the air tickets for the round trip. We arrived home in the afternoon on the 31st and left after lunch at noon the next day."

Chen Yingxiong actually asked O'Neill for a day off. According to his plan, he would not be able to return to Liverpool until the second day, just in time for the game against Newcastle United on the second day. Newcastle's performance this season is also very good, currently ranked sixth in the league, is a strong rival. In this game, hero Chen is definitely going to play. Even if Martin O'Neal rotates, he will not rotate at this time, he will only rotate when facing underdogs.

But if he talks for three days, he is afraid that the head coach will not agree. If he talks for two days, he asks for the leave, and then he will be...

After the big deal, he pleaded guilty.

This shows how important his father's 50th birthday is to him, and what price Chen Yingxiong paid in order to be able to come back to participate.

Before the Manchester City derby game, the media had begun to frantically hype the game.

Because the hatred between Chen Yingxiong and Manchester City is really endless for three days and three nights...

From the vicious revenge on Richards, Chen Yingxiong and Manchester City are even going to fight. The subsequent series of events deepened the contradiction and hatred between the two. Now he has reached the point where he will never give up after death.

This game is away again, and the Manchester City players have threatened to show Chen Yingxiong at their home court.

Of course, this time they should not use racially discriminatory slogans and methods to attack Chen Yingxiong.

The Liverpool players announced that they would defend Chen Yingxiong to the death.

The clubs of both sides began to cool down the mi of the two teams.

Martin O’Neal said in an interview with reporters: “Liverpool and Manchester City’s grudges? I’m not very clear. I was not the head coach of Liverpool at that time. In my opinion, this is an ordinary league. I hope both sides The ball is treated with peace of mind. This kind of game happens 38 times every season..."

Manchester City’s coach Mancini also called on the football players not to point their fingers at Chen Yingxiong: "I agree with Martin, this is just an ordinary game. The football players should focus on the game, Manchester City needs them. Cheering, not booing at the opposing player..."

But in the frenetic atmosphere, their appeals seemed weak. At the very least, the Manchester Police did not take the two head coaches' appeals seriously. Their heads have announced that they will strengthen the security of the stadium on the day of the match. At that time, the heavily armed riot police will separate the Liverpool ball mi from the Manchester City ball mi. At the same time, an entrance will be opened exclusively for the Liverpool ball mi to enter and exit to ensure that the two sides will not have direct contact with the ball mi.

At the same time, the Liverpool club also issued a warning, reminding the players not to go to Manchester too early, and it is best to follow the action of the big forces. Generally speaking, only when they go to Turkey and Italy, where football violence is high, the English clubs will treat themselves. Ball mi made such a warning. But now it's just a domestic league, and even issued such a warning.

From this we can see what kind of state this game is like...

This is not the end. Although the coaches of both sides are very friendly, the players of the two teams are not fuel-efficient.

Richards made no secret of his dislike of Chen Yingxiong during the interview: "He can score goals very well? Yes, but so what, when facing Manchester City, I will not let him score. A chance! He is a despicable guy, and I will not shake hands with him, I will do what I say!"

Before Chen Yingxiong had time to speak, Suarez had already jumped out: "In terms of despicable things, Richards is called second in the world, and no one dares to say that he is first. I still remember after he overthrew me. Pretending to be innocent! A person who has done something wrong but dare not admit it, I don't think he is a man!"

Chen Yingxiong also said: "Despicable? Aha, who falsely accused me of racial discrimination, who lied to the FA, the media, and the public? Who yin defeated Lu, the defendant went to court and then lost the lawsuit? I'm sincere. I feel that letting him work as a social worker will not make him repent, and it would be better to let him go to prison to pick up soap."

Richards shut up immediately.

He is at a loss!

He really deceived everyone by telling lies, falsely accusing Chen Yingxiong of racial discrimination against him. So once Chen Yingxiong turned over the old account, he couldn't continue to die.

He could only hold this breath in his heart, and then made up his mind to make Chen Yingxiong look good in the game. When he won the game, he must celebrate unscrupulously in front of Chen Yingxiong! ! .
