Hero of the Penalty Area

Chapter 91 The Luck of the King of the Cup (second more, ask for a monthly pass)

Throughout February, Liverpool continued their outstanding performance in the Cup but poor ups and downs in the league.

On February 6, in the twenty-fourth round of the league, Liverpool's home game and Tottenham Hotspur were tied 1:1. The heroes continued to score goals, but they continued to fail to bring the team a victory.

On February 11, in the focus of the twenty-fifth round of the league, Liverpool lost to Manchester United 1:2 away. Manchester United breathed a sigh of anger, while Liverpool continued to be unable to move in the quagmire of even eighth in the league.

Chen Yingxiong scored four consecutive rounds. He scored five goals in four league rounds, but only brought four points for the team.

He worked hard in every game, but the state of the Liverpool team was ups and downs, from good to bad.

Now everyone can see it-Liverpool's problem is indeed not a problem of Chen Yingxiong's state, but the whole team is rotten from the bottom.

Some people even began to question Chen Yingxiong's impulsive transfer decision. If he continues to stay in Naples, or go to another team, he will definitely be a hundred times better than he is now.

It's not that Chen Yingxiong's ability is not good, but Liverpool is dragging him down. Many people think that if this situation continues, Chen Yingxiong will sooner or later be forgotten because he is in a team like Liverpool that can't even participate in the Europa League. He will fall from the top of the world and fall to the bottom of his bones.

Chen Yingxiong's momentum last season was actually very good. If he can transfer to a well-known giant, he will definitely be able to take it to the next level.

Such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Manchester United, Bayern, and Milan duo.

He had no choice but to choose Liverpool.

Does he think he can take Liverpool out of the quagmire and regain its glory by himself?

wishful thinking!

Football is a collective sport. Even if Maradona is respected as God in Naples, there are people like Carreca around him to assist him. Otherwise, it would be impossible to play with him alone.

Chen Yingxiong thought he could become the God of Liverpool, but it is a pity that he is alone now.

The results in the league are sluggish, and Liverpool are very good in terms of luck and performance in the FA Cup.

They won the English Championship team Brighton in the fifth round of the FA Cup, and they still play at home.

This time, Dalglish did not continue to send all the main force to play. Because just seven days later, Liverpool will usher in the League Cup final at Wembley Stadium, and their opponent is Cardiff City.

In order to ensure the physical strength and condition of the main players, most people will not play in the FA Cup games with Brighton, and some people will not even make the big list.

Chen Yingxiong was the one who didn't even make the big list.

The person who replaced him was Suarez.

Suarez resumed training in early February. At the end of the last game he played against Manchester United, he came off the bench and officially returned to the court.

But the state needs to be restored. He made no contribution to the team when he appeared in the game against Manchester United.

The FA Cup match with Brighton is a perfect opportunity now. The team is playing at home, and the opponent is not strong and the pressure is relatively lighter.

As for Chen Yingxiong, he appeared in the VIP box at Anfield Stadium together with Gerrard, who was recovering, to watch the game live. At the same time, it also cheered Suarez for the first time since his injury.

After that incident, he and Suarez became true friends. Although it offended all Manchester City fans, Chen Yingxiong thought it was worth it.

In the end, Liverpool beat Brighton 6-1 at home.

However, after Chen Yingxiong's absence, Liverpool's offensive power still exposed a huge problem-this sounded very unreasonable, it is 6:1, and this offensive power still has a problem? Then what kind of attack power is okay?

But if you consider that three of these six **** are own goals from the opponent, it can explain the problem...

Poor Brighton scored a total of four goals in this game. Liverpool scored only three. It stands to reason that the score should be 4:3. Brighton advanced. But Brighton’s players got the goal wrong, and they scored three of their goals. Among them, their midfielder Ram Bridcart is today's tragic figure. He scored twice in the game, but all scored his own goals.

You know, although Liverpool scored a goal in the first five minutes for Liverpool at home, Brighton's midfielder Lualua equalized the team in the 17th minute. score.

After this, Liverpool has been unable to find a way to score.

If the game continues in this way, it is really hard to say who will be the winner in the end.

At this moment, Brighton's tragic figure Brid Carter stepped forward and rescued the Liverpool man who had become more and more impatient.

He scored his first own goal of the game.

You must know that this time is the 44th minute, and one minute away, Brighton can walk into the dressing room with an average head up, and Liverpool's players will continue to bear great pressure.

His ball greatly damaged Brighton's morale and allowed the Liverpool players to escape. At least they had a much better life at halftime.

Sure enough, only twelve minutes into the second half, Kuyt scored a goal for the team and the score became 3-1. And Brighton began to collapse.

Bridcart added fuel to the fire at this time and scored another own goal. This time even the commentator of the game broadcast couldn’t stand it anymore, and kept groaning: "My God...My God...Poor Brid Carter, hapless Brid Carter, he really has enough. Unfortunately……"

It’s not over yet. Just three minutes after Bred Carter scored an own goal, Brighton’s defender Dunk Ke also followed with an own goal. The score became 5:1 and the game was completely lost. suspense.

After watching such a game, it is really difficult to get too much interest in the victory. Liverpool really depended on luck to win, and their performance in the first half was a shame.

Dalglish also admitted after the game that the team was not happy about winning because "our performance was terrible..."

The only thing that deserves his relief is that Suarez, who started his first game after returning from injury, is in good condition. He scored the sixth goal for the team at the end of the game... No, it should be the third goal. , Locked the score of 6:1.

After the game, the media also said that Suarez was in such a state, which really made many people breathe a sigh of relief. In the past three months, Liverpool can only rely on Chen Yingxiong. Chen Yingxiong is obviously difficult to support with one arm. Suarez’s comeback will Greatly reduce his pressure, while also being able to provide more firepower for the team.

From this point of view, Suarez will have great hopes to start in the League Cup final... This is another insurance for Liverpool, who is aspiring to win.

February 26th, this day should be the match day of the 26th round of the Premier League, and the other 18 teams are fighting vigorously. According to the original schedule, Liverpool should usher in the 217th Merseyside Derby at home.

Now the game has been postponed to March 13, just to make way for the League Cup final.

Liverpool's opponent in the final is Cardiff City, this team from the British crown.

It's not a team at all. Many people think this is the perfect time for Liverpool to end an embarrassing record that Liverpool have not had a championship in six years.

Even the local media in Cardiff City are not optimistic about the team's ability to defeat the powerful Liverpool-although Liverpool's performance in the league is not very strong, but they are still well-deserved kings in the Cup.

But why does Dalglish feel a little uneasy?

The night before the game, the team stayed in a hotel in London. They are going to the New Wembley Stadium tomorrow afternoon.

He has done all the things that should be done. He has seen the tactical meeting. He is sure that everyone knows what they should do in the game tomorrow. The coaching staff meeting has also been held. For this final, he is fully prepared.

But why does he feel that he is not at ease in his heart?

Looking at the time, it was too early to ask for bed time, so he decided to go to the hotel bar for a drink.

This is a good way to relax, maybe I am a little too nervous...After 12 years away from the first-line coaches, this is the first time he has led the team to the finals.

The King of Anfield also has moments of nervousness.

※※※

In the bar, he met Chen Yingxiong.

In fact, there are not only Chen Yingxiong in the bar, but also many Liverpool players. According to the regulations of the Liverpool team, players are forbidden to go out 24 hours before any game, so on the eve of the final, if you don’t want to be in a daze with a boring TV show in your room, you can only have a limited choice in the hotel. The way of entertainment-you can drink alcohol, but you can't drink too much, you can only drink a little. In addition, you can also play in the billiards room and table tennis room. Apart from that, there are no other good entertainment projects.

There are also people who come to the hotel with their own entertainment tools. They are like moving, with various game consoles full of their luggage.

Chen Yingxiong was drinking at the bar.

He just checked the task list on the Internet through his laptop and got a few new tasks-the "League Cup Champion" is to help the team win the League Cup. It is a team task. No matter how he plays, as long as Liverpool Get the championship, even if he finishes it.

"The embarrassment of six years without a championship" is to require Chen Yingxiong to score at least one goal in the final to help the team win the championship. End the embarrassment of not having a championship for six years.

There is also a new mission, but this new mission is an upgraded version of the previous mission...

"Farewell to the King’s Gift: Grand Slam": The King is leaving the team. As a legend of the club, he should have a decent curtain call. If you can beat your opponent in the final and help the team win the championship trophy, I I think he will be very pleased. Know that he supports you and cares about you so much. Maybe he has a bad relationship with your friends, but he has never angered you. Kenny is a good person and an excellent player and coach. As a player and coach, he has won all the championship honors he can get, but only one League Cup. If he can win the League Cup, he will be the second coach to win the Grand Slam after Ferguson and Mourinho. It is also the first person to have won a Grand Slam, whether it is a player or a head coach. This is a great achievement and a great farewell gift, right?

In addition to the previous two rewards, a new talent reward-"The King's Ball Control Skills" has been added, which improves the stability and accuracy of Chen Yingxiong's use of the ball to control the ball. For heroes, this is also a good reward.

He was drinking a little wine here and thinking about how to complete the task, Dalglish appeared next to him.
