Chapter 840 I must play this game! (The second is asking for a monthly pass!)
After the game against Blackburn, Liverpool immediately ushered in Anderlecht at home.

The 5:1 victory over Anderlecht in the away game made the team very relaxed. Even the head coach Martin O'Neill didn't think there would be any problems in this game.

I didn't expect to find out that something was wrong after the game started.This time, not only the team underestimated the enemy, but even the head coach underestimated the enemy this time...

Fortunately, there is one person who has never underestimated the enemy, or never given up chasing goals because of the level of the opponent.

Regardless of whether the team's qualifying situation has been determined, Chen Yingxiong will continue to pursue goals.

Because he wants to compete with Messi for the number of goals.

In the UEFA Champions League match two days earlier, Messi scored twice in the away game, and the number of goals has been raised to five.

Although Messi is still one less than Chen Yingxiong in the number of goals, Chen Yingxiong cannot take it lightly, because Messi is indeed the most powerful player in football today, and he also has a very powerful team. , his goals will continue to appear.

In this game, it was thanks to Chen Yingxiong's two goals that Liverpool avoided being defeated by Anderlecht at their home court.In the end, Liverpool shook hands with Anderlecht 2:2 at home.

Chen Yingxiong scored twice in the game, so he has scored eight goals in this season's Europa League and continues to lead the scorer list.

Back in the league, Liverpool beat Fulham 2-0 at home. In this game, Chen Yingxiong did not score because he was placed on the bench and played continuously, which had a great impact on the team's physical fitness. Martin . O'Neal continued to stick to his rotation.

Since the game entered Liverpool's trajectory from the beginning, the goal came quickly, and Fulham did not show their tenacious fighting spirit, so Martin O'Neill had no idea of ​​​​playing Chen Yingxiong at all. He ended up on the bench. Sit on the table for a full nine and ten minutes.

On November 24, in the No.14 round of the league, Liverpool beat Newcastle 3-0 away. Chen Yingxiong started and scored a goal.

In the [-]th round of the league, he scored [-] goals and [-] assists. You must know that this data was played when he was rotated in [-] games and suspended for [-] game. Therefore, it is actually Sixteen goals in ten games, a remarkable achievement.

But it is a pity that he did not continue this excellent state to the League Cup.In the quarter-finals of the League Cup on November 0, Liverpool lost 2:[-] to Chelsea.Chelsea avenged last year's quarter-final elimination by Liverpool with the same score.

In fact, we can't blame Chen Yingxiong for being in poor condition. Chen Yingxiong was sitting on the bench at the beginning of this game.

He was not replaced until the No. 607 minute. At that time, Chelsea had already led Liverpool by two goals.

His playing did not bring any positive changes to the team.In the end, the defending champion in the League Cup, Liverpool had no choice but to accept the fate of being eliminated from the League Cup.

But Martin. O'Neill is not depressed and chagrin, although in the post-match press conference he still expressed regret for being eliminated.But that was just for show, for others to see.

Martin O'Neill may have breathed a sigh of relief... In this way, the team will not have to think about the League Cup in the next two to three months. If possible, O'Neill even wants to give up the FA Cup directly.

Now the team's momentum in the league is very good. It is hard to say whether they will win the championship if they continue to play like this, but there is a great possibility of qualifying for the Champions League.Although they were tied at home in the Europa League, it did not affect the team's qualifying situation.

Therefore, Martin O'Neill feels that he should focus on the league, and then focus on the Europa League a little bit. As for the two domestic competitions, he temporarily gave up.

On December 15nd, round No. [-] of the league, there were five rounds left before the match between Chen Yingxiong and Martin O'Neill.Liverpool host Bolton.

The final score was 4:0.Chen Yingxiong, who came off the bench in the League Cup but failed to help the team beat Chelsea and advanced to the semi-finals, put all his strength into this game, and he staged a hat-trick...

This is his second hat-trick of the season, and he has already scored [-] goals in the fifteen rounds of the league...

Such a terrifying scoring efficiency made the entire English football world tremble.

The league has not even reached half, and the media has consciously stopped discussing who will be the top scorer of the season.

Because this is completely unnecessary, the battle for the best shooter is unnecessary in front of the powerful Chen Yingxiong!

This is a good thing for Chen Yingxiong, but it is a very cruel thing for others, especially Van Persie...

After losing the top scorer in the league last season, he told the coach and himself that there is still next season.

But now it seems that he may have to pin his hopes on next season.Because this season, it will be very difficult for him to surpass Chen Yingxiong...

In the same period last season, after fifteen rounds of the league, he ranked first in the league's scorer list, scoring fifteen goals.

And this season his state is obviously not as good as last season, and he only scored [-] goals in [-] rounds of the league.

There is a gap of eight balls away from Chen Yingxiong, how to chase it?Everything is possible This statement does not seem to apply to Chen Yingxiong.

After playing the domestic league, Liverpool rushed to Portugal to challenge Sporting Lisbon away.

Before each Europa League game, Messi's game is over, so Chen Yingxiong will have a very clear benchmark and reference.

Messi scored a penalty in the game, and his number of goals in the Champions League in a single season rose to six.

Before the group stage was over, he had already scored six goals. This performance has won the praise of many European sports media. They believe that Messi has continued the excellent form of last season, and he may be able to defend the Champions League top scorer this season.

Just keep playing in this state, no surprises, this year's various awards will definitely belong to Messi again.

The UEFA Champions League is indeed the most eye-catching stage. It is also the European competition. Chen Yingxiong scored eight goals in the Europa League. Only the media in England and China were the happiest. After a while of publicity, the attention paid by the sports media in other countries is obvious Not as good as Messi.

So everyone praises a player who scored six goals, but ignores the player who scored eight goals.

Chen Yingxiong didn't care about this with the media, because he knew that he only scored eight goals, and it was indeed not enough to cause a sensation!
He wants to score more goals!
In the away game against Sporting Lisbon, Chen Yingxiong continued to score goals and scored twice!

Helping Liverpool win Sporting Lisbon 2:1 in the away game. There is still the last round of the group stage. Liverpool has four wins and one tie with [-] points. It has already qualified ahead of schedule and even won the first place in the group ahead of schedule.Anderlecht and Sporting Lisbon compete for another qualifying spot.

The date of the last round of the Europa League group stage is December [-]th. From this day onwards, Liverpool will also fall into a very intensive competition in the Premier League.

Therefore, Martin O'Neill has already begun to consider a big rotation in the last round of the group stage. It is not important to win or lose. Too little and get emotional.

On the plane back to Liverpool from Portugal, Chen Yingxiong found Martin O'Neill, and they talked about exactly this matter.

It's not like Chen Yingxiong can read other people's minds, but after playing professional football for so many years, does he still have some experience and common sense?Now the team has qualified ahead of the group stage and won the first place in the group.In the last round of the home game against the big team in this group, the head coach of Grica will definitely rotate.

Chen Yingxiong doesn't care about the rotation of other people, he just hopes that O'Neill will not rotate him, because he wants to score goals.The European goal he set for himself this season is to score [-] goals.Although he is also confident that he will reach the final with the team, but this thing also has to consider the factor of luck. His hope does not mean that the team will definitely be able to enter the final.If he can't make it to the final, he might be eliminated somewhere. What if he is still too far away from twenty goals?
So it's better to score more goals in the games that you are sure you can participate in.

In the final round of the group stage, the opponent is a well-recognized team, which is simply an excellent target for scoring goals!
How could Chen Yingxiong miss such an opportunity?
So he talked to O'Neill about it.

O'Neill was very puzzled by his insistence on participating in the final round of the group stage. He really planned to let Chen Yingxiong rest in this game, and the rest was very thorough. Not only did he not let him start, he was not even allowed to enter the substitute list. .Throw him directly into the stands as a spectator.

Considering the upcoming intensive schedule, O'Neill's arrangement is reasonable and reasonable, and it is also the practice of general coaches.

But Chen Yingxiong came up and told himself that he must participate in the final round of the group stage.

Why is this?

And he asked himself for leave before, saying that he would go back to China to celebrate his father's birthday no matter what...

O'Neill began to reflect - did he indulge Chen Yingxiong too much?Made him start to ignore his authority as the head coach?

Then I still have to show my authority as the head coach, lest he be too arrogant!
So he shook his head and rejected Chen Yingxiong's suggestion: "I can't promise you, hero. We have already qualified for the Europa League, and the last group match is meaningless to us. But after the [-]th, the league schedule will be intensive. , the team needs your strength."

"There is no problem with my physical fitness, boss. Even if I play one game a day, I can still fight! So please let me participate in this group match!"

Seeing him so determined, O'Neill felt more and more strange: "Why? Is there any reason why I must let you start?"

Chen Yingxiong's answer startled O'Neill: "Because I want to hit the European goal record in a single season, boss! I will score at least [-] goals in the Europa League this season! So every game The game is very important to me!"

After hearing what Chen Yingxiong said, Martin O'Neill was dumbfounded...
