Vol 5 Chapter 38: Rotation (third change, ask for a monthly pass!)

In fact, Liverpool is not fighting two lines, but three lines. Because they still have the League Cup to play.

The English League Cup main match started in early August, but the Premier League teams will not start to join until the third round. This time is already late September. []

Due to the large number of matches in England, it is almost impossible not to rotate, otherwise few of those giants can support it.

The Premier League, the FA Cup, the League Cup, the Champions League and the Europa League, all of England’s wealthy teams will participate in these events. If they are lucky and win all the way, they will have to play 70 games a season. Almost every week is a weekly double match, and the players are not hard to beat. So if you don't change, the players' physical fitness is exhausted early, they start to suffer frequent injuries, and eventually they collapse.

Rotation is a compulsory course for all big teams in England.

Last season, Liverpool had only domestic competitions, so there was no rotation, but even in the second half of the league, the players frequently suffered injuries, which caused Dalglish a headache.

Now in order to prevent such a situation from appearing, Martin O'Neal has started to rotate early.

The media are right, Liverpool is not too comfortable with this kind of rotation. However, early rotation means early adaptation, and late rotation means late adaptation. There is less time to adapt, and the result is worse.

Anyway, Liverpool had an amazing five-game winning streak, and had accumulated enough "tuition capital". Liverpool can adapt to the rotation as much as possible. Even if they lose a few more games, the team's results will not be too ugly.

On September 22, the seventh round of the league, Liverpool ushered in Swansea at home.

In this game, Liverpool continued to rotate, combining the two lineups of the last big Fulham and the Europa League.

Chen Yingxiong partnered with Krasnic, Sanchez was replaced by Adam Johnson as the starter, and the left side was given to Bellamy. In the defensive position, Gerrard and Inle continued to partner, and the central defender was Scotter. With Carragher, left-back Glen Johnson, right-back Enrique, goalkeeper Renner.

This lineup allowed Liverpool to beat Swansea 1-0 at home.

Because it is a brand new starting lineup, the Liverpool players are still not used to it.

But Chen Yingxiong is enough.

He used a free kick to score the only goal in the game and helped the team win.

This ball is also his tenth goal of the season.

The league only started seven rounds, and he scored ten goals, three goals ahead of second-ranked Van Persie.

This has just begun, and the contest between the two shooters has already begun.

Van Persie was finally overturned by Chen Yingxiong last season and lost his first league golden boot in his career.

Everyone feels a pity for him, and there are others who are not optimistic about Van Persie continuing to chase after Chen Yingxiong. Because Van Persie played so well last season, they have been surprised.

I don't think it might be because of the need to compete with Chen Yingxiong. Van Persie's state is also very good this season. He has scored seven goals in seven league rounds, and his average goal rate per game is already a new high in his personal career.

But even so, he still lags behind Chen Yingxiong...

Some London media lamented for Van Persie: "Heroes are the nightmare and public enemy of all forwards! I suggest that the Premier League re-establish a scorer list, and only let heroes on the list, and now this scorer list is reserved for ordinary players... For Van Persie, this is too unfair!"

After playing the game with Swansea, only three days later, Liverpool ushered in the League Cup game.

They challenged Reading away.

In the league, Liverpool beat Reading 6-0 at home. Now this is a chance for Reading to take revenge, because Liverpool has rotated again.

Since playing in the Europa League, Liverpool's starting lineup has not been exactly the same.

This time Chen Yingxiong and Suarez started, Kuyt played right midfielder, and left to Bellamy. In the middle, Lucas and Inle came back from injury. The center back was replaced by Martin Kelly after the 90s. With Coates, the right back is a young player born in 1993, Flanagan, and the left back is Jack Robinson of the reserve team. The goalkeeper is still Reina.

It can be seen that Martin O'Neal intends to use the League Cup as his "test ground" for the team to adapt to the rotation, and also gives many young teenagers the opportunity to play.

Such a large rotation makes Liverpool players a little uncomfortable, and Reading can take advantage of their home court to get revenge.

How can I think that the old hatred has not been reported, and the new hatred...

They lost a 2:4 at their home court. Although they scored two goals in the game and once showed them the hope of winning, Chen Yingxiong brutally suppressed them.

As the top scorer of the League Cup last season, Chen Yingxiong performed a hat-trick in his first League Cup this season.

He was really in an amazing state in September.

He was named the Premier League Player of the Month in August, and now it seems that the best player of September is none other than him.

Liverpool, who defeated Reading 4:2 away, successfully advanced to the fourth round. Their opponent will be Cardiff City, the opponent of last season's League Cup final...

This seems to be another battle of revenge?

Due to multi-line combat, on September 29th, Liverpool’s away game against Grika’s Europa League and the eighth round of the Premier League, Liverpool’s away game against Stoke City collided. So the match between Liverpool and Stoke was postponed to October 2.

From this we can see how dense Liverpool’s schedule has been throughout September...

In September they played four Premier League games, two Europa League games-one is the upcoming away game against Grika, and one League Cup. A total of seven games. Considering that the first half of September is the national team match day, Liverpool actually only played one league game in the first fifteen days. The remaining six games were all packed in the half month after the fifteenth, with an average of two. Play a game in half a day.

With such a dense schedule, it is no wonder that Liverpool's coach Martin O'Neal will take the risk of the team's performance decline to rotate. Regardless of the change, I am afraid that Christmas has not come yet, and the team's physical reserves are exhausted...

There is nothing to say about the game where Slovenia challenged Grika. The difference in strength between the two sides is too big. Even if Grika is playing at home, it can't make up the gap.

So Liverpool defeated Grika 2-1 in the away game and scored two consecutive victories.

Sporting Lisbon tied with Anderlecht 1:1 at home. In this way, Liverpool, which has won the two games, will come out on top. At present, they are the first in the group, and they are very optimistic about qualifying.

Liverpool won, and Chen Yingxiong also scored in the game.

After two rounds, he has scored three goals in the Europa League. He currently ranks first in the Europa League's scorer list, but is tied.

The strength of the teams in the Europa League is uneven, and it is indeed easy to be used to score goals. Therefore, it is normal for Chen Yingxiong to not take the lead.

Originally, Chen Yingxiong was quite happy with his performance. One day later, he heard the news that Messi scored twice in the later UEFA Champions League game. After two UEFA Champions League games, the number of goals was the same as him. , Also three.

After hearing the news, Chen Yingxiong's brows wrinkled and his teeth were squeezed. His whole expression was as if he had a toothache.

The difficulty of the Champions League is different from that of the Europa League. Messi actually scored three goals... In this comparison, what is the value of his three goals to be happy about?

Compared with others, it's a mess! I was happy before, happy ass! It's a joke! Oh shit! In a tournament with a lower difficulty than others, he only scored three goals! It's terrible!

Therefore, after returning to Liverpool, reporters praised him for scoring again. He ranked first in the Europa League scorer list with three goals. His outstanding performance was a major contributor to Liverpool’s victory. If Liverpool can qualify for the group, Chen Yingxiong is the most important thing. Factors or something, Chen Yingxiong was not happy at all.

Apart from training, I was absent-minded and listless when interviewing reporters.

The reporters looked at it with strangeness in their hearts.

A reporter asked what happened to Chen Yingxiong, but it made Chen Yingxiong's brows even tighter. He couldn't tell the reporters what he thought in his heart. The reporters didn't know why Chen Yingxiong was so depressed...

Some people speculate indiscriminately whether Chen Yingxiong has encountered any troubles, and hope that things will not affect Chen Yingxiong's state, so as not to drag down the team's results.

However, Chen Yingxiong didn't explain, so there were more speculations like this. It's okay in the media. Among the fans, all kinds of weird rumors have spread.

The most widely spread and most credible rumor is that there was a conflict between Chen Yingxiong and Cabrera. The two quarreled, their relationship had come to an end, and a breakup was imminent. Therefore, Chen Yingxiong was in a low mood.

This kind of argument is the most popular. After all, Chen Yingxiong’s feelings have always been felt to be unstable.

After he and Cabrera were together at the beginning, Bo Leng Cai company launched a lottery project such as "Guess when Chen Yingxiong and Cabrera will break up".

Cabrera called and asked Chen Yingxiong: "I heard that you are going to break up with me recently, hero?"

Chen Yingxiong rolled his eyes: "You believe in the media!"

Sure enough, Cabrera's laughter came on the other end of the phone-she actually knew it, but it was just a little joke with Chen Yingxiong.

But after laughing, she still said to Chen Yingxiong very seriously: "But if you really want to break up with me, I don't want to hear this news in the media."

Chen Yingxiong coughed: "I don't want to break up with you yet, Christine."

"That's good, because I don't want to either."

Chen Yingxiong hung up the phone and was still thinking--is this a love story from Cabrera?

It’s not easy to hear this woman say those nasty things...
