Heroes of the Restricted Zone

Chapter 1580 Hero 28
May 25 is the day of the Champions League final and Chen Yingxiong's birthday.This time it was really a coincidence.

In fact, even if May 25 is not the day of the Champions League final, it is also a day near the Champions League final. Generally speaking, the Champions League final of each season is basically held on May 20.

So some media have ridiculed this before. They said that Chen Yingxiong was a man born for the Champions League final.

Of course this is just ridicule.

But the joke hit the point.

Chen Yingxiong has won two Champions League titles and reached the Champions League final three times, while he has only participated in the Champions League for five seasons.He has reached three finals and won two championships in five seasons. From this point of view, he is indeed destined for the Champions League final.

After getting up in the morning, there are always teammates greeting him happy birthday.

"Happy birthday, hero!"

"Happy birthday!"

"Happy birthday, hero!"

The first thing everyone sees Chen Yingxiong is to say hello to him.

In fact, when Chen Yingxiong didn't know, his teammates were still secretly planning to make him a birthday cake, and give him another surprise at that time.

This shows how popular he is in the team.

The outside media always say that Chen Yingxiong is a person who is difficult to get close to, and his popularity must be very poor.But in fact, whether it is Zenit St. Petersburg, Naples, or Liverpool today, his popularity is very good.Even in the Chinese national team, with his backwardness, he already has the demeanor of a boss in the national team.

Chen Yingxiong is bold and generous, likes to treat guests, and has an outgoing and lively personality.How could such a person be so difficult to approach?
Therefore, anyone who has been in contact with Chen Yingxiong will scoff at the media's statement. They have seen the essence of the media's lying nature from Chen Yingxiong.

Today is Chen Yingxiong's 28th birthday.

In the blink of an eye, he has changed from the stunned youth to the 28-year-old Mesozoic.

Now he can't be regarded as a new star or a young player anyway.But he still feels like a child, which may have something to do with his personality.

It's just that in places that others can't see, he is actually undergoing changes, becoming mature little by little.

The 28-year-old Chen Yingxiong has entered the best time of his career, both physically and mentally.His body is still, even stronger, his mind is getting more mature, and his experience is getting richer.

Now he is on the football field, like a general who never fails.

The actual situation is also like this.This season, whether it is in the domestic league or domestic cup, or in the Champions League, Liverpool has not yet experienced a defeat!
Such an outstanding performance is naturally inseparable from Chen Yingxiong's performance.

On this day, major media also paid attention to Chen Yingxiong's birthday.

The online media are still the fastest responders. They made various special topics early in the morning to celebrate Chen Yingxiong's birthday - most Chinese websites do this.

28 years old is the most glorious time of a professional player, the golden age of a professional player.Chen Yingxiong is 28 years old, which means he will be even more terrifying.

So what kind of birthday gift will the 28-year-old Chen Yingxiong give himself?
Many people immediately thought of the Champions League trophy.

This is the best birthday present.

If Chen Yingxiong can lead Liverpool to beat Real Madrid in the Champions League final and win the championship trophy, it would be a very meaningful birthday.

"...it took ten years for the hero to tell us how football legends are written. When he debuted at Zenit, no one knew who he was, an oriental guy with black hair and yellow skin, many even I thought he was Korean or Japanese...I still remember the celebration he made when he scored his first career league goal...that arrogant and confident movement, Just like his goals, impressive. He used one goal after another to tell the world who he is. Now everyone knows who he is, and his giant poster appeared in Buenos Argentinia In the downtown center of Sierras, his TV commercials are broadcast repeatedly on the TV screens of hundreds of millions of American families every night in prime time, and Liverpool jerseys with his name can be seen in the countryside of South Africa. The most popular sports player, and has been for five years, until now there is no second person who can threaten his status. He participated in movies, he attended various commercial activities, he is the player with the highest annual income, But none of this has affected his performance on the football field. It’s as if he has the ability to separate himself. There is one him off the field and one on the field....Some players need to retire before we make a final conclusion. But Chen Yingxiong doesn’t need to When he retires, we can say he is the most legendary player on the planet..."

The above is an excerpt from the preface written by Chinese journalist Zhong Dajun for Chen Yingxiong's autobiography. Although it is full of subjective emotions, it has to be admitted that what he said are all facts.

Chen Yingxiong deserves such an evaluation and deserves it.

The autobiography "How a Hero Is Made", which was dictated by Chen Yingxiong and recorded by Zhong Dajun, has been sold in various languages, and all of them are divided.Chen Yingxiong and his agent team are very confident in the sales of this autobiography.In fact, this is indeed the case. The number of pre-orders on Amazon, JD.com and other websites has reached a staggering 150 million copies, and this number is still increasing.The world's first printing of this book is 500 million copies, and now it seems that it will definitely be reprinted.

The autobiography will be released globally after the Champions League final.Of course, because of the time difference, East Asian regions such as China, Japan, and South Korea were the first to be released.When Chen Yingxiong finished the Champions League final, he had to fly back to China non-stop to participate in a grand book signing event.

If he has won the championship trophy by then, it will also be a huge stimulus for this signing.Zhong Dajun has no doubts about this, he has already told the publisher to do a good job of publicity in advance, and printed the Champions League trophy on various promotional posters.

He has full confidence in Chen Yingxiong, thinking that Chen Yingxiong will definitely not let such a high honor go to another family on his birthday.

When having lunch at noon, the hotel where the team stayed specially presented Chen Yingxiong with a birthday cake.

This is not a cake made by Chen Yingxiong's teammates. They use that cake for other purposes. This is a little bit of the hotel's kindness.With Chen Yingxiong's current popularity, it is quite normal to have fans in a foreign country.

When eating a birthday cake, it is natural to blow out the candles and make a wish.

"Make a wish! Make a wish!"

Amidst the booing of his teammates, Chen Yingxiong pretended to make a wish, and then blew out 28 candles in one breath.

He did not tell everyone what he wished, and no one asked.Because if you make a wish, it won't work.

But Chen Yingxiong is not because of this reason, he did not tell everyone, because he did not make a wish at all...

Everyone thought he would pray for the team to win the championship when he made a wish.But for Chen Yingxiong, this matter can be done without prayer, and it has no value in wishing.Besides, winning the championship depends on his own efforts. If he makes a wish to God, he might as well make a wish to himself.

As for other things, he can't think of anything to wish for now.His career is on the rise. Although he and Cabrera get together less often, their relationship is still stable. He is the most profitable player in the world, and his father has his own business... His life is so sweet like honey.If a reporter from China National Television came to interview him at this time and asked him "Are you happy", Chen Yingxiong would definitely say "Happy!"

With such a beautiful life, he couldn't think of anything else to wish for.

So he just pretended to make a wish, but actually didn't think about anything.

But his teammates didn't know it, and they took it as a good sign.The UEFA Champions League final was held on Chen Yingxiong's birthday, and Chen Yingxiong made a wish, which means that we will definitely win the championship!

After a lunch break and simple physical training in the afternoon, it's dinner.

Everyone eats very little for dinner, and after ensuring the basic energy supply, they can no longer eat.If you eat too much, you won't be able to run.

Some people may ask, eat less, the game consumes a lot of energy, what if you are hungry during the game?
Therefore, all teams will give players extra meals during the half-time break.Different teams have different styles of specific content.Some teams’ extra meals are very simple, just fruits. Bananas are the best fruit to replenish calories. They can be replenished quickly, and it is easy to feel full without eating too much.Some teams will arrange their locker rooms like a gourmet city, with all kinds of exquisite snacks, pasta, barbecue and sausages, as well as a wide variety of drinks.Some clubs even allow their players to eat high-calorie junk food like McDonald's and KFC, and carbonated drinks like Coke are not strictly prohibited.

The British have always had little talent in eating. The French fries and fried fish, which they are proud of, are really not very creative and taste not very good.But in terms of extra meals, Liverpool is the most luxurious in England.Because they have a Chinese boss and a Chinese general manager.

Therefore, the Liverpool players will consciously not eat too much for the meal before each game. They know that after the mid-length break and the game, there are many delicious but not high-calorie foods waiting for them.Eating so much before a game that you can't eat anything at the end is really unwise!

After a simple dinner, the Liverpool players rested in their rooms.This is the final rest.

Then the coaches will call the phone in the room to tell them to come downstairs to assemble.

Generally, when there are more than two hours left before the start of the game, they will set off for the competition field.

There, make the final preparations for the race.

warm up.

Then let the head coach mobilize their emotions in the locker room.

In the end, go out and tear everything that dares to stop Liverpool to shreds.
