Hero of the Penalty Area

Chen Yingxiong actually remembered breaking the record, but he remembered not breaking this record, but the record for the most consecutive goals scored in the European game by Gade Muller.

As for the record of consecutive home goals, he really didn't care about it...

Didn't expect it to break unknowingly?

But this record is only eight games, the difficulty is too small, it is normal for Chen Yingxiong to not pay attention to it, his mind is left to those very difficult things.

Things that are not difficult can be done casually, so why bother to keep it in mind?

Moreover, the rewards for this task are also very general, except for experience, there is nothing else, just in order to complete the core series of tasks, you must complete this task first.

So, if it breaks, it breaks.

※※※

Chen Yingxiong doesn't care much about it himself, but in the eyes of the media, it becomes another meaning.

So everyone in the newspapers published the next day marveled and praised Chen Yingxiong for his calmness.

"No one has ever broken it in the past fifty-two years, only the record that has been tied. That is how Chen Yingxiong broke, but he seemed a little indifferent... But this is not indifference, but a kind of calmness. Heroes are invincible in the world, such a thing naturally cannot be caused by too many other psychological fluctuations..."

"The hero's calmness reflects his strong self-confidence. He no longer needs to celebrate his record-breaking with excitement to show his abilities. Everyone knows his abilities!"

However, Chen Yingxiong's calmness gave everyone a chance for comparison.

The same record. When Torres tied this record in 2008, he was very happy. When interviewed by reporters, he said that he was proud to be able to tie this record. He even went to learn about this record before the game. Yes, and he expects that he can continue to work hard next season and strive to set a new record-it was already the last home field of the season at that time, and Torres can only wait until next season if he wants to set a new record.

Unfortunately, after the start of next season, Torres did not seize the opportunity.

Chen Yingxiong's performance was as casual as he had taken out a meal today.

"What? I broke the record? Oh."

What I fear most is that people are better than people...

After such a comparison, coupled with the various comparisons between Chen Yingxiong and Torres, everyone feels that Chen Yingxiong is more reliable.

The comparison with Torres actually started after Chen Yingxiong moved to Liverpool. After all, both are forwards, both are foreign players, and both can score goals.

It is inevitable that people will feel like comparing each other.

In his first season at Liverpool, Torres broke the record of goals scored by foreign players in the first Premier League season held by Van Nistelrooy with 24 goals. Van Nistelrooy’s record is one season. Twenty-three balls.

What about Chen Yingxiong?

There is no suspense!

He scored 37 goals in his first season in the Premier League. Not only did he break Torres’s record, he also won the top scorer of the season. Torres scored 24 goals at the time, which was only the top scorer in the list. Two.

This time the gap is quite obvious.

It was also the first season, Torres also broke another Liverpool record, that is, no one in Liverpool can score more than 20 goals in a single season in 11 years, and even Golden Boy Irving has not done it. The last time he did this was the bad boy Robbie Fowler.

However, such a record is of no value in Chen Yingxiong's eyes. Except for the first season of his debut, he only played ten games in 2006. In which season did Chen Yingxiong score less than twenty league goals?

Counting from the 2009-10 season, in which season has he scored fewer than 30 league goals?

Does this need to be compared? One scored 20 goals and broke the record, and one scored at least 30 goals every season...

The current record in front of Chen Yingxiong related to Torres is left with two consecutive hat tricks in the league...

But everyone felt that this record was not a problem at all for Chen Yingxiong.

The hat trick is too simple for Chen Yingxiong.

This season, Chen Yingxiong has completed four hat tricks in the league, only one hat trick record set by Roger Hunter in a single season.

Everyone felt that there was no suspense for Chen Yingxiong to break this record. He didn't look at his ability but only his mood. If you are in a good mood, Chen Yingxiong will be broken. If you are in a bad mood... Chen Yingxiong will be broken even more!

So in the season when Chen Yingxiong arrived at Liverpool, everyone still compared him with Torres, who had just left the team.

That is because everyone lacks understanding of Chen Yingxiong.

No one does this anymore. After a season, everyone knows that the two are completely incomparable...

This record-breaking incident has deepened everyone's understanding of this.

It's really not comparable...

Chen Yingxiong broke the record silently, and he didn't even look a little excited, as if it were taken for granted.

this is too scary!

How many surprises can such a hero of Chen bring us in the future?

※※※

Chen Yingxiong doesn't care about breaking the record of scoring at home in eight consecutive league games. Not only him, but the rest of the team don't care.

During this time everyone's focus was on Deputy Captain Carragher.

Carragher said he was going to retire. At that time, time was tight during the intermission of the game, and everyone could not continue to persuade them.

There is plenty of time now. In the past few days, everyone is trying to persuade Carragher to change his mind.

But it didn't work. Carragher was obviously determined this time. It is useless for anyone to persuade him.

In the end everyone had to pin their hopes on Gerrard.

Among the Liverpool teams, the only player with the best relationship with Carragher and the oldest is Gerrard.

Gerrard's answer to everyone was-shaking his head.

※※※

In fact, Gerrard persuaded Carragher very early, much earlier than everyone expected him to come forward.

He invited Carragher's family to come to his own home, taste barbecue, drink fine wine, women to take care of the lively and lovely children, and the two old men got together to discuss this matter.

"I know what you are going to say, Stephen. But don't try to convince me, I have already made a decision." Carragher was straightforward.

"The decision can be changed, as long as it hasn’t finally become a reality. It’s like a football game, Jamie. I won’t give up until the final whistle sounds. Otherwise, how could we reverse the AC in Istanbul? What about that great game in Milan? Speaking of that game, you were the biggest player in our victory, Jamie."

Gerrard holding a wine glass from the memory of the past, hoping to evoke Carragher's nostalgia for the team.

Carragher smiled: "The biggest hero is not me, but it was indeed the most wonderful night of my life. It was even better than the wedding night, haha! But I still won't change my decision to retire, Stephen."

"If you feel tired of continuous combat, you can continue to be a rotation player, Jamie... To be honest, I think I must accept this reality in the future. There is nothing shameful about it, this is the law of nature. We always have to get to this point..."

"Stephen, it doesn't matter whether I am a substitute or a main player. I am already thirty-six years old. In fact, I can retire earlier. I have already passed the coaching certificate in advance. But why have I never retired? Because I'm waiting. I hope to see the day when Liverpool will revive, even if it's just a hope. I'm afraid that if I leave the team, I won't be able to contribute to the team's revival. I watched her move into a darker abyss. Slipping...I can't accept this. So I continue to play. But now, this is not a problem..."

Carragher looked at Gerrard and smiled: "I am very grateful to the hero, even though I once doubted him. But it seems that he had a great time here and did not want to leave here to go elsewhere. Liverpool's momentum this season It's also very good. I think maybe I can really win a league championship trophy with my own hands...I'm content, I'm relieved, I think I can retire and become my coach."

Faced with Carragher's true confession, Gerrard had nothing to say.

Because he can fully understand Carragher's feelings, worrying that after he left the team, the team will not pick up the situation, but the results are getting worse. I was worried that I would not be able to contribute to the team's revival. When the team needed me most, I could only stand by and be a spectator.

Seeing Gerrard's silence, Carragher said with a smile: "Look, you can't speak, right? Don't feel sorry for me, Stephen. I have no regrets at all. These two seasons, I see When it comes to our hope of rejuvenation, our performance has made many people admire us. This season, we even hope to win the league championship. There is no better farewell ceremony than this!"

Gerald sighed. He admitted that Carragher had his own ideas, so he couldn't refute it... He didn't want Carragher to go, but he couldn't stop it. He was very entangled and showed it directly on his face.

Carragher raised the glass: "Don't look at that look, Stephen. The parting should be a very happy thing, because it means a new start. I will be a coach in Liverpool, but in fact I still haven't left everyone. ...Come on, finish this glass of wine, and then let us say something else."

Gerrard toasted Carragher a little bit unconsciously, but the sip of wine stayed in his mouth for a long time, and he swallowed it with his neck up until it was so bitter.

※※※

No one can change Carragher's mind, not even Liverpool coach Martin O'Neal.

After deciding to retire, Carragher went to Martin O'Neill and expressed his thoughts to him.

Martin O'Neal heard this news for the second time, but he still perfectly expressed the surprise he heard the first time.

"Why is that?"

"No, boss. I'm too old to fight. You know, playing style like me has very strict physical requirements..."

Actually Martin O’Neal knew what Carragher was because of, but he couldn’t let Carragher know that he knew...

He is reluctant to leave Carragher. Although Carragher feels that he has not adapted to the Premier League game, O'Neal feels that Carragher is a qualified locker room leader and an excellent substitute player. It can enhance the depth of the team's bench. When he is needed, at critical moments, his experience and leadership qualities, as well as the quality of will never give up, can lead the team out of trouble.

Now that he is gone, he does not have such a suitable rotation player...

"Can't you think about it again, Jamie? You know, you are still an important part of my plan. I need you, and Liverpool also needs you..."

Carragher shook his head: "I have decided."

O'Neal is gone. Even Gerald couldn't persuade him. Who else can persuade him to change his mind.

He sighed: "Well, Jamie. At tomorrow's regular press conference, you will attend as a representative of the players. Then you will tell the media about your decision in person, how about it?"

Carragher nodded.
