Chapter 879 Adjusting Status

Not only Chen Yingxiong discovered this, but Martin O'Neill also felt that this rotation would not work.Since the beginning of the current season, he has rarely used the same starting lineup consecutively...

The reason for the frequent rotation before is to allow the team to adapt to this rotation.

At the same time, it is also to maintain sufficient physical reserves for the team during the Christmas period with the most intensive schedule.

Now that Christmas is over, the schedule has flattened out.

It seems that there is no need to continue such an exaggerated rotation.On the contrary, it will lead to the unsustainable state and feeling of the players, which will affect the state of the team.Like that game against Reading.

Even if it was an away game, facing the newly promoted Reading, it should be easy to win.

But the result backfired.

Martin O'Neal thought about it and decided not to rotate too frequently.

For example, in the next FA Cup match against Luton, Martin O'Neill does not intend to continue the rotation.

He will dispatch all the main players in this game!

In fact, the draw by Luton in the away game did not affect the team's advancement, but it still somewhat made Martin O'Neill feel ashamed.

Liverpool, let a semi-professional semi-amateur team draw in the away game!Where does this put Martin O'Neill's face?
So when he returns to the home court, he must do his best to give Luton some color.Otherwise, did Luton really think they could turn the world upside down?

Although Martin O'Neill doesn't pay attention to the FA Cup, he can't be eliminated by an amateur team in the first game of the FA Cup... This is a stain in his career, and it will be washed away forever The kind that won't drop.

From time to time, it will be mentioned by others, how disgusting it is.

With this in mind, Liverpool ushered in Luton with a full main lineup at home.

"I think Luton has no hope in this game. For them, the most wonderful moment is that they come to Anfield and walk around. They don't think about anything else, maybe they are happy." Before the game The media who knew Liverpool's starting list said that Luton was dead.

Even Luton himself thinks this way: "We are proud of being able to drag Liverpool into the rematch. Our goal is not to advance, but to show ourselves to the world at Anfield."

But Martin O'Neill doesn't take this kind of trick. He doesn't care whether Luton really surrendered or is playing hard to get. Anyway, it is always right to go all out.

Before the game, he said to all the players: "I know you didn't participate in the away game, so it can be said that the draw in that game has nothing to do with you. But it is not the case, you are a whole, the second team lost, the first team The team will suffer infamy. Isn’t it fair? No, it’s very fair, because the name ‘Liverpool’ needs every one of you to maintain! So in this game, I don’t want to see any suspense, any twists and turns, give me a complete blow Shen each other!"

※ ※ ※

In fact, even if Martin O'Neill didn't speak, Chen Yingxiong would still do it.

Because he also desperately wants to use a game to regain his status.In the last game against Reading, he tried his best and failed to score a goal. It can't be said that he didn't work hard, but he was out of shape.The state is a very mysterious thing, it is difficult to describe what it should look like, it is the kind of existence that cannot be explained in words but can only be understood.

Anyway, no state is no state.

Now that the team has encountered a weak team at its own home court, this is a good opportunity to adjust its state.

Chen Yingxiong will naturally not let Luton go.

No. In 11 minutes, he took the lead for the team and shot directly through the Luton goalkeeper with a long shot from outside the penalty area.

This ball also kicked off the massacre of Liverpool's game.

In the next No. 30 minutes, Suarez grabbed a point in front of the goal and smashed Adam Johnson's cross into the goal with his thigh.

Before the end of the first half, Sanchez completely sealed the victory for the team, 3:0!Liverpool led by three goals at home, with a total score of 4:1. Luton was beaten helplessly. Not only that, they didn't even have the power to parry.

In the second half, they changed sides to fight again, and Chen Yingxiong scored the first goal again, this time it was a direct free kick.Liverpool lead Luton 4-0 at home.At this time, the game only lasted 57 minutes.

No.609 minutes, Gerrard scored the fifth goal for the team with a long shot. 5:0.

No.80 In the second minute, Gerrard scored twice and made another long shot, locking the score at 6:0.

With a total score of 7:1, Liverpool had no suspense and cleanly eliminated Luton, which had embarrassing them a bit.

Although Luton was slaughtered, it did not affect the mood of their players.Perhaps it was because they had positioned themselves right from the beginning, thinking that it was impossible to eliminate Liverpool at Anfield, so everyone had a good mentality after the game.

Some people came to Chen Yingxiong to exchange jerseys.

The person who came was a player who looked very young... No, it's not right to describe it as young, but to say "immature".

The player is estimated to be only seventeen or eighteen years old.

In this game, he was replaced in No. 60 minutes, playing as a striker.But there was no opportunity to perform, because Luton's entire team was under pressure from Liverpool and had no time to attack.Luton had only two shots in this game, both in the first half.

After seeing Chen Yingxiong, the child stammered to Chen Yingxiong in a tone of excitement and fear: "I, I can... can I exchange jerseys with you, hero?"

The opponent is an amateur player whose name he has never heard of, but the exchange of jerseys has nothing to do with whether the opponent is famous or not.Since the other party wants it, just give it to me. The jersey is not a precious thing to me.As long as the opponent's players are not particularly annoying, Chen Yingxiong doesn't mind exchanging jerseys with others.

The media say that Chen Yingxiong is difficult to get along with, but when you really get in touch with him, you will find that what the media say is bullshit!

Chen Yingxiong took off his jersey, handed it to the child, and took the other's jersey at the same time.

Luton's young players were very happy after taking Chen Yingxiong's jersey, and put it on directly.

Then he thanked Chen Yingxiong, turned around and ran away happily.

Looking at the happy back of the other party, Chen Yingxiong laughed twice, he seemed to have become the idol of some players...

Feel good!

In the next three rounds of No.20 in the league, Martin O'Neill did not let the team rotate, but continued to use this lineup.This is the first time he has used the same lineup for two consecutive league rounds this season.

Facts proved that his change was correct, and Liverpool finally defeated Aston Villa 3:1 at their home court.

Although Chen Yingxiong didn't score a goal, he assisted two goals. Although the other goal was not counted as an assist by him, it was his shot that caused the goalkeeper to drop his hand, allowing his teammates to score.

He didn't score this time, he was just unlucky, not in bad form.

Although he didn't score in two consecutive rounds of the league, it was already his longest scoring drought this season...but no one reported it because it was too boring.

Even if he failed to score in two consecutive league rounds, Chen Yingxiong has already scored 28 league goals, and the league has only started 23 rounds... In the face of such scoring efficiency, two league rounds without scoring is not worth it at all carry!

On January 26, in the fourth round of the FA Cup, Liverpool drew a good lottery. They played against the sixth-tier league team Havant at home, a real amateur team.

This time Martin O'Neill finally made a rotation, removing Chen Yingxiong and other main players.But even so, there is no suspense.

The opponent is weaker than Luton, and Liverpool is playing at home.

It is impossible to be proud and underestimate the enemy any more.

In the end, Liverpool defeated Havant 5:2 at home.

Advance to the fifth round of the FA Cup.

The FA Cup has reached the fifth round, and Martin O'Neill can finally breathe a sigh of relief, and then continue to rotate in the FA Cup.Anyway, the FA Cup is for the players of the youth team and the reserve team to play. He will play whatever he can in the future. He will not give the players any goals or pressure. If the team really breaks into it accidentally In the finals, then go all out to fight for a final, and try to win a championship first to stabilize your position.

After playing the FA Cup, the game in the league will be played immediately next.

In the No.20 round of the league, Liverpool challenged Swansea away. The final result was 1:0 and Liverpool won.

And the only person who scored the only goal for the team was Chen Yingxiong!

He finally ended his "scoring drought that lasted two league rounds".

But Chen Yingxiong's mind is no longer on the league.

Because in half a month, the Europa League will start again.

That was the knockout journey to the championship.

Liverpool drew Atletico Madrid.

This is not an opponent that can be easily dealt with.

If Chen Yingxiong wants to achieve his goal, he must first eliminate Atletico Madrid.

It is worth mentioning that last season's Europa League ushered in the Premier League duo Manchester United and Manchester City in the knockout stage, and this season's Europa League also ushered in a strong team-Inter Milan.

The Serie A giants were assigned to the death group in the Champions League, and then eliminated in the group stage.

It is really embarrassing that the former Triple Crown has now been reduced to the point of playing in the Europa League.

However, the arrival of Inter Milan means that Chen Yingxiong's road to winning the championship is not smooth, and he does not know when he will meet the giant Inter Milan.

But Chen Yingxiong didn't take this matter to heart.Because he is not afraid of Inter Milan at all, he wins more and loses less against Inter Milan, and has always had a psychological advantage.

I haven't seen him for two years. I don't know if Inter Milan will feel a little psychologically shadowed after seeing him?
If Inter Milan healed the scar and forgot the pain, he wouldn't mind reminding him again...

When Chen Yingxiong thought of winning the Europa League and the goal he had set for himself, he couldn't help being excited. He wished that the knockout stage would start immediately.

He's going to surprise the whole world!
