Chapter 1327 Fifty Balls

News of Liverpool's knockout of Tottenham in the semi-finals dominated the sports pages of many newspapers the next day.

"...If I say that Liverpool's victory over Tottenham is considered unpopular, I wonder if someone will spit on me? But in fact, it is like this. What I want to say is not the team that makes Manchester United helpless. With Chen Yingxiong, Steven Gerrard , Gareth Bale, Sanchez, Inle, Pepe, Skrtel... the Liverpool first team of stars such as Liverpool, but the Liverpool reserve team that you are not familiar with except for Chen Yingxiong. Such a team is in It was recognized as a big belly before the game, but they beat Tottenham Hotspur in a convincing 2-0 in the semi-final. Incredible isn't it? But everyone who watched the game yesterday, now doesn't They will think so, they will feel that Liverpool deserved the victory..."

"At Wembley Stadium yesterday, more than 8 people witnessed a strange game - Tottenham Hotspur, who sent all the main players, was defeated 2-0 by Liverpool, who was only a reserve team. The difference between sending the main players in the semi-finals of the Total Cup is that Liverpool sent a reserve team that is not strong. Before the game, Martin O’Neill’s decision was questioned. But all of this followed Liverpool’s victory over Tottenham and entered the final. They all disappeared..."

"...Liverpool's reserve team was quite tenacious in yesterday's game. They were beyond many people's imagination. Facing the indiscriminate bombing of Tottenham, their defense has never had any problems. Facing such a defense, even if Tottenham, which has sent all the main players, has no choice... Although Chen Yingxiong scored two goals and was the best player of the game, but after the game, Chen Yingxiong felt that the best should be the reserve team as a whole, not him alone ..."

"Martin O'Neill highly praised the performance of all the players of the reserve team after the game. He believed that the victory of this game was inseparable from the excellent performance of the reserve team players. He also revealed a piece of news: Liverpool will also play in the final The same squad against their final opponents - the winner between Chelsea and Stoke City. I believe after watching the game, this news is not too shocking..."

……

Unlike those games before, the focus of media attention after the game shifted from Chen Yingxiong to ordinary reserve players.

Not much ink was spent on mentioning Chen Yingxiong, and even some reports can be said to be very few.

Everyone's focus is on the reserve players.In the mixed zone after the game, all the reserve team players were welcomed by the reporters, and everyone rushed to interview them, making them also have a star addiction.

In the post-match report, they were finally no longer called "Chen Yingxiong's teammates in the reserve team", but with names and surnames, so that everyone knows who they are.

This change is of course due to their outstanding performance in the game, which reversed many people's inherent impression of them.

No one paid attention to them before, because they felt that the only role of these people was to help Chen Yingxiong gather eleven people, so that Chen Yingxiong would not be unable to participate due to insufficient numbers.It still depends on Chen Yingxiong and his goals to decide the outcome of the game.As long as Chen Yingxiong scores a goal, Liverpool can win the game and advance to the next round.It doesn't matter how well the Liverpool reserve players perform. Even if they sleepwalk together, Chen Yingxiong can solve the battle.

In fact, the media looked down on them and thought they were useless.

But after this game, everything changed. Their tenacious performance on the court fell into the eyes of everyone. As long as this person has no problem with his brain IQ, he can see what the players of the Liverpool reserve team have shown. The role of appearance.

In addition, everyone is tired of reporting how great Chen Yingxiong is every day. These relatively grassroots reserve players can attract everyone's attention and make many people interested in their stories.

This is why although everyone always admires the strong, they also like the good show of the grassroots reversing the strong.

A few days after the game, there were more reporters who came to the reserve team to interview them outside the training ground, as well as fans who cheered them on. The reserve team players finally felt the feeling of "stars".

※ ※ ※

The players in the reserve team are enjoying the feeling of being a star, but Chen Yingxiong doesn't think so.

For the reserve team, their next fierce battle is the FA Cup final, which is going to be in May, and they can get enough rest before that.

During this period, the reserve team will continue to train in depth. The training content is the same as before. Give them a month to prepare for the game. I believe they should be able to perform better than the semi-finals.

Chen Yingxiong is much busier than them.

After the FA Cup semi-final, the domestic league will be played immediately, and the domestic league will be played, followed by the Champions League semi-final.

※ ※ ※

In the No.30 fourth round of the league, Liverpool played against Fulham at home.

Liverpool is now ranked first in the league, second Chelsea is [-] points behind them, and Manchester United, who is third in the league, is [-] points less than them.

As long as they win two more games, Liverpool can win the championship early.

This season is not like last season, Liverpool can let Manchester United catch up even when they lead by [-] points.

This season Liverpool's players have shown more confidence in the competition for the league championship, and they have not lost their own chains, so the group of chasing soldiers behind have nothing to do, they can only watch Liverpool ride the dust, no one can and.

It is precisely because of such a huge lead that O'Neill feels that the team can be distracted and go to the Champions League to test the waters.

So although Chen Yingxiong was the only first-team player to participate in the just-concluded FA Cup semi-final, in the match against Fulham, Martin O'Neill still made the decision to make half of the main players and half of the substitutes.

This lineup lived up to expectations, beating visiting Fulham 3-1 at Anfield, as both Chelsea and Manchester United won the ball, so the points gap between the three remains the same.

Liverpool are still [-] points clear of Chelsea and [-] ahead of Manchester United.

Under such circumstances, in the next round of the league, Liverpool will face Chelsea at home, which will become the focus of the final league championship. If Liverpool can beat Chelsea at home, the difference between the two sides will widen to [-] points Even if Manchester United can win, the difference between Liverpool and them is still eleven points. With only three rounds left in the league, an advantage of eleven points means that Liverpool has won the championship three rounds ahead of schedule!
But not so sure.There are still variables in this game, because the game against Chelsea was sandwiched between two Champions League semi-finals. If Liverpool's home game against AC Milan is not particularly smooth, it will definitely affect their performance in the league. strategy and tactics.

Maybe Liverpool will consider voluntarily giving up the game against Chelsea, after recuperating, go to an away game against AC Milan, and then postpone their championship celebration for a round or two.

Even if Liverpool lose to Chelsea at home, the point difference between the two sides becomes seven points. As long as Liverpool wins Hull City away, then with only two rounds left, the point difference between the two teams will still be seven points, and Liverpool will also win. Win the championship early.As for Hull City, as a team that has been relegated in advance, even if Liverpool is away, it should not be difficult to win them.

So in any case, Liverpool's prospects for winning the championship are bright, and O'Neill can now focus on the Champions League.

He decided not only to break into the Champions League final, but also try to win the Champions League trophy!

This season Liverpool has already won the League Cup, locked in the league title, and the FA Cup is not hopeless. If they win the Champions League again... four titles!For O'Neill, it can be described as a harvest season, which is a brilliant achievement dreamed by countless coaches. Because of this achievement, he will surely leave his name in the history of Liverpool club forever!Also left in the history of world football!

※ ※ ※

Chen Yingxiong scored twice in Liverpool's 3:1 home defeat against Fulham. These two goals are of great significance, because this brings his league goals this season to an astonishing fifty!

Last season, Chen Yingxiong scored 57 goals in the league, only three goals away from Dixie Dean's record of [-] goals in a single season.

At that time, everyone felt sorry for Chen Yingxiong, because even if he tried harder, he might be able to break Dixie Dean's record.

You must know that scoring 57 goals in a single season is already a remarkable achievement. Who knows when Chen Yingxiong will score so many goals next time...

Unexpectedly, in the second season, Chen Yingxiong scored fifty goals with four rounds left before the end of the league!
Exactly the same results as last season!

Last season was also when there were six rounds left before the end of the league, Chen Yingxiong scored [-] goals.

However, in the next four league rounds, he did not score in one round of the league. Although he scored two hat-tricks in the other three games, he only scored one goal in the final game against Swansea.If he seized more chances in the games against Swansea and Bolton, maybe he could break Dixie Dean's record.

So what about this single season?

In the next four games, the games against Hull City and West Ham United are easy to play, but everyone is most concerned about the games against Chelsea and Newcastle United. When it is a strong opponent, the level of performance will be higher.Just like last season, he didn't score in the game against Bolton, but when he played Manchester United away, he staged a hat-trick!
This season, with four games left, Chen Yingxiong needs to score an average of [-] goals per game to tie Dixie Dean's record, and then he has to score at least one more goal on this basis. Can create a new record!

Can he do it?

Many people have already begun to look forward to it like a lottery lottery.

In fact they did buy lottery tickets.

Many gaming companies in Europe offered various odds on whether Chen Yingxiong could break Dixie Dean's record, attracting many lottery players and gamblers to participate.

Therefore, not only England, but the eyes of the whole of Europe are actually on Chen Yingxiong.
