Hero of the Penalty Area

The players of the English team may be the busiest professional football players on the planet.

The match against Arsenal was only finished on October 28, which ended the two consecutive weeks of double matches. After a week of rest, it will be another week of double matches.

At this time, the players' physical fitness has begun to have problems.

Krasnic's injury was due to physical reasons.

The only reassuring thing is Chen Yingxiong, he has no physical problems at all. Whether in training or competition, or flying to Italy for vacation, he is full of energy...

But recently he posed a problem for Martin O'Neal.

He asked Martin O'Neal for leave two months in advance.

"What did you say?" O'Neill frowned. It wasn't that he didn't hear Chen Yingxiong's words. He was just a rhetorical question of conditioned reflex. The function was to strengthen his tone and express his doubts or other emotions.

"I hope to take two days off after playing the twentieth round of the league and come back in the evening of January 1st, boss." Chen Yingxiong repeated what he had said just now.

"But the hero... Our match with Wigan Athletic was on the night of January 3..." Martin O'Neill thought that Chen Yingxiong didn't know about this, or that he had forgotten the specific time, thinking that the match was still a week later.

He didn't think Chen Yingxiong nodded: "I know, boss."

Martin O'Neal was exasperated: "You know? You know that you still take two days off. We don't have a holiday after the game against Manchester City, but you have to take two days off... What reason do you have, hero? "

Even if you usually have a good relationship with Chen Yingxiong, you must clearly distinguish the occasion. In this case, O’Neal must maintain the team’s disciplinary requirements. Let’s not say that Chen Yingxiong asked for two days of leave to prepare for the team at this juncture. The effect of this is that if one agrees to Chen Yingxiong's request, wouldn't anyone be able to ask for leave from him? Is this okay?

"Reason? I'm going back to celebrate my father's birthday." Chen Yingxiong replied.

He was right and confident, and he didn't think there was any problem with this reason.

His father’s birthday is on January 1st every year, which is a very special day, because every New Year’s Day is celebrated with his father’s birthday. But in fact, Chen Yingxiong could hardly remember how many birthdays the family had given to his father when he was a child. For a long time, he only remembered that January 1 is the New Year, which is the New Year's Day.

I was ignorant when I was young. I only knew that I had a good time. I wanted new clothes for the New Year. I wanted to eat delicious food.

But now he has grown up and is sensible, and he has begun to understand that January 1 is not only the first day of the year, not just a globally recognized holiday, but whether New Year’s Day or something is of little significance to him and the most important thing. Yes-this day is his father's birthday.

And January 1, 2013, is his father's fiftieth birthday.

"Birthday?" Martin O'Neill was taken aback. This reason... if it's not good, it's really a reason. After all, celebrating my father's birthday, it shows that people are loved ones and will treat their fathers kindly. I can’t always say, "What's so great about Dad’s birthday?" Are you looking for a fight? Father and son love each other, how can others talk nonsense?

But you have to say that this is a reason... In order to celebrate your father's birthday, you have to take two days off to fly back to China. I always feel that something is a big fuss...

If you want to say that, whose father is not the father? So when everyone's father celebrates his birthday, do he take time off to go home?

Martin O'Neill frowned and said, "Your father's birthday? This...you can bring him to England..."

Chen Yingxiong shook his head: "No...My father has his 50th birthday. As his son, I will give him his birthday and invite his relatives and friends, so this birthday must be celebrated in his hometown..."

In fact, you can also invite all your father’s friends to the UK. Chen Yingxiong can't afford the money, but father Chen Tao disagrees... As a traditionally ordinary Chinese, his 50th birthday is such an important birthday, of course. It's going to be done in your hometown, why did you go to the UK to do it? It's totally nondescript!

Therefore, his father Chen Tao would not agree to the idea of ​​leaving Chengdu to host a birthday banquet. Even if he did not leave China, he would not allow him to host a birthday party in Shanghai.

Therefore, this time, if Chen Yingxiong wants to hold a birthday banquet for his father, he must return to China.

In fact, Chen Tao once said to him that he and his mother are not allowed to celebrate his birthday. If he and his mother are two, please invite relatives and friends.

But Chen Yingxiong felt that if it was his fifty-first birthday or something, it didn't matter if he returned. After playing football for so many years, he never saw him return home to celebrate his father's birthday. I have to go back this time because I am fifty years old. How many fifty years will a person have in his life? Just one, it's gone after that, so it's not that he is hypocritical.

In fact, the true age of my father this year is 49 years old, but the Chinese tradition is that men must live too close and women must live too close. That is to say, whether a forty-nine-year-old man is talking to others or celebrating his birthday, he always comes here as 50 years old, while a forty-nine-year-old woman is forty-nine, and a fifty-year-old is fifty. year old.

Chen Yingxiong wanted to show his filial piety. He was ignorant when he was a child. He relied on his father was a business man, and his family had a little money and a tall man. He often fought with people and caused trouble. Parents' troubles.

But at that time he never felt that there was anything wrong with him.

Anyway, if someone hurts someone, there will be parents who will pay for medical expenses or something.

He has never apologized to his parents for the trouble he caused, even if he was beaten up by his father, he has never been soft-it seems that he has developed such a hard temper since he was a child. Of course, now he is afraid of his father, not afraid, but obedient, that is, since the trip to Europe, his feelings for his father have changed.

Now Chen Yingxiong is twenty-four years old. Although in many people's eyes, this young man who often commits second crimes from time to time is still like a child who has not grown up, he is really much more mature than before.

At least he knows to be grateful.

He owed his parents so much, he felt that even if he flew back to celebrate his father's birthday, he would not be able to repay one percent of the debt.

The problem is that Martin O'Neill doesn't know this... so he doesn't believe or accept Chen Yingxiong's reason.

"I can’t agree to your request, hero. After all, our schedule is too intensive. Starting from mid-December, we have always been a double match a week. In such an intensive match, we need you, and you will consume too much energy. At this time, if you want to fly back to China, it will only increase your physical energy consumption..."

He was going to reject Chen Yingxiong's request for leave, but rejection requires careful methods and methods. If he refuses rigidly, it will only break the relationship between the two people. Therefore, Martin O'Neill uses a joking way of rejection.

"unless……"

Chen Yingxiong also knew his request, the head coach would not agree to him very happily, and he was also very clear about the situation of the team at the time. So when he heard that there was a turning point, he quickly asked.

"Unless what?"

"Unless you score in the match against Manchester City..." Martin O'Neill initially planned to say "unless you perform a hat trick in the match against Manchester City", but he quickly realized that the hat trick was for Chen Yingxiong. It seems too simple? So he planned to change his words to say "four goals alone". As soon as he was about to say this sentence, he suddenly remembered that just last season, Chen Yingxiong really scored four goals in the game against Manchester City! He has a criminal record! The requirement of four **** is too unsafe...

So, in the end, what Martin O'Neal said was: "... scored five goals! I will give you leave!"

Chen Yingxiong was stunned for a moment.

Martin O'Neill was very proud of Chen Yingxiong's expression-now you are dumbfounded? You see, I don't really disagree with your request for leave, but you have to complete the task, and I will definitely agree to your return to China! But if you can't finish it, you'll be embarrassed... Hey!

With five goals in a game, Martin O'Neal really thinks that Chen Yingxiong cannot do it. Let’s not talk about how difficult it is to score five goals in any game. Let’s just talk about this game. Liverpool is an away challenge to Manchester City. They have to score five goals at Manchester City’s home court... This difficulty is as difficult as climbing to the sky!

Martin O'Neill felt that Hero Chen would definitely not achieve this goal.

You have a problem for me, then I also have a problem for you, this is fair.

No matter if I deliberately make things difficult for you, hero. You are so good at scoring a goal. If you don't report the numbers higher, I'm afraid you can do it easily! Liverpool really cannot do without you! I hope you can understand my pains...

Thinking about this, he heard Chen Yingxiong say: "Take this seriously, boss?"

"Huh?" O'Neill didn't react for a while.

"I ask what you say, boss? Is it true that as long as I can score five goals in the game, you will let me return to China?" Chen Yingxiong stared at O'Neal closely, as if a light flashed in his eyes...

This time it was O'Neal's turn to be stunned.

Is he serious? Does he really want to score five goals in the game against Manchester City? !

"Hey, hero...you, are you crazy?" His voice couldn't help shaking.

"No, boss. I mean it!"

"But five **** in a game..."

"Since Messi can score five goals in a game in the Champions League, I think I can also score five goals in a game in the league!" Chen Yingxiong said confidently.

Just now when he was stunned, he was not frightened by the task of five goals in a single game, but suddenly thought that Messi also scored five goals in the game against Bayer Leverkusen last season... Messi Can it be done, why can't I do it?

Thinking of this, Chen Yingxiong felt that he should do it for granted!

So no matter how difficult it is, he scored these five goals!

Chen Yingxiong slapped his slap: "Then it's settled! Boss, I scored five goals in the game against Manchester City, and then you let me go back to China!"

Martin O'Neal nodded almost subconsciously, but in the bottom of his heart, he always felt that something was wrong... (to be continued)
