Hero of the Penalty Area

Chapter 98 This is a collective honor (the first one is a monthly pass)

Training in Field One went smoothly. In the end, the nine Liverpool reserve players who were brought to the first team by Clarke stayed six, and the remaining three were sent home and sent back.

Although Clark did say that they can follow the first team in the semi-finals of the League Cup tomorrow.

But in the entire Liverpool team, only Martin O'Neal is the one who speaks the most. What other people said is not the final result.

If an assistant coach is more effective than the head coach, it's a mess.

Calling nine people does not mean that Martin O'Neal really wants to keep nine people in the end. He will look at the state and strength of these nine people and whether they can really compete in the League Cup semi-finals.

The end result is that six people qualified and three people were eliminated.

Even if the six people who stayed, don't be too happy, because they may not get the chance to start.

Seven players are allowed in the League Cup bench, so even if all six of them are on the bench, it’s no surprise.

If it weren't for Martin O'Neal, considering that the first team can get as many rest opportunities as possible, they can completely eliminate the reserve players.

Because the opponent in the League Cup semi-finals is not strong, it is Blackburn, so Martin O'Neal will give the reserve team a chance, from there to pick nine people, and finally become six people.

The three people who were eliminated went back to the second field with a frustrated expression, and everyone's surprised eyes made them feel a little embarrassed.

But soon the teammates realized that there are people who are indignant, and there are also people who gloat for misfortune.

Someone finally issued a question in training, "We played the previous games. Why should we give up our position in the final semifinals?" This question was asked.

It just so happened that when the player was complaining, assistant coach Clark walked by and heard his complaint.

He stopped right away, and walked up to the hapless guy with a serious expression on his face.

"What are you talking about? Evan? How can you say that? You are a member of Liverpool. You are all wearing Liverpool jerseys to play. You are all Liverpool players when you go out. What do you think of each other? Liverpool is a whole. Rather than being divided into several teams of sand!"

His tone was harsh and he spoke very hard.

This is indeed a very serious problem. As a member of Liverpool, you should be proud of Liverpool's achievements, not the first team and the second team.

Poor Evan lowered his head because of his scolding and dared not speak.

Clark's lesson to Evan also attracted other reserve players.

Clark looked around and looked at the players on the reserve team. He thought of the disappointment and pain on the faces of these people after knowing that he would not be able to participate in the League Cup semi-finals.

He seemed to have no confidence to continue to teach Evan, who was drooping in front of him.

He sighed and said, "Remember, Evan. The name on the chest of your jersey is far more important than the name on the back..." After speaking, he patted Evan on the shoulder for comfort.

"Okay, okay, continue training! Continue training!" After walking away, he blew his whistle.

On the second day of the League Cup semi-finals, Liverpool had four second-team players, and the other seven were first-team players.

The media did not make a fuss about Martin O'Neal's sudden first team lineup.

This is human nature, and everyone can guess it-the championship must be the only goal of each coach in the cup to the semi-finals. At this time, it is a brain problem to train the team. Utilitarianism is the common goal of all people.

The only disappointed and unhappy person is probably Black himself. They also imagined that Liverpool would continue to send a lineup of Chen Yingxiong and ten reserve players, so that they would have the confidence to fight Liverpool.

How can I think that Liverpool did not if they wished.

Many Blackburn fans scolded Liverpool as a coward.

But their voices can't reach the ears of Liverpool players, and Liverpool people don't care about their opinions.

Victory is the only goal pursued by all Liverpool people at this time.

In the end, Liverpool defeated Blackburn 3-1 in the semifinals.

First to get tickets to Wembley Stadium.

Chen Yingxiong continued his previous outstanding performance in the League Cup, scored twice and scored two goals, which is the team's biggest contributor to the finals.

"As always, the hero showed his power, and then Liverpool entered the final. In fact, whether the person standing next to the hero is our familiar star or the unknown reserve team unknown, nothing else, because the result is the same-relying on Chen Yingxiong , Liverpool won."

"The hero is the most dazzling player in this afternoon's game. Starting from the third round of the League Cup, the biggest and only hero of Liverpool's ability to enter the final is Chen Yingxiong. If there is no hero, I dare to say that it will rely on Liverpool. The second team, they are at most breaking into the quarterfinals of the League Cup. It is Chen Yingxiong who has injected the energy for that team to keep going!"

"As long as there is a hero, Liverpool can win. As long as a bad team has him, it can be reborn and become a force that cannot be ignored! His performance and experience in the League Cup fully prove this!"

After the game, many media were desperately singing praises for Chen Yingxiong. In order to set off Chen Yingxiong's tall image, the Liverpool second team was reduced to a "bad team".

No one interviews the feelings of those "bad teams" players, and their feelings are not important to everyone. Before they were able to get on the news and show a face in the media, it was only because they were Chen Yingxiong's teammates and they were drenched in Chen Yingxiong's light.

It stands to reason that one game would be fine, but they did not expect them to cut three games in one go. In the eyes of others, they should be grateful for this and treat the result with a grateful heart. How dare to complain and dissatisfy?

Therefore, the media, who have always been afraid of the chaos of the world, let go of a gimmick that might be worth the hype...

One day later, Liverpool’s opponents in the League Cup final were revealed.

Another League Cup semi-final was played between two teams from Manchester. This was a Manchester city derby. Manchester United challenged Manchester City away.

After ninety minutes of hard work, Manchester City finally defeated their rivals in the same city by a score of 3:2 and got the tickets for the League Cup final.

However, Manchester United did not play the main role in this game.

Obviously Ferguson believes that the League Cup is a tasteless one. He is unwilling to allow multi-line combat to disperse his firepower. Manchester United's elite forces must be concentrated in the league and regain the lost league championship from Liverpool. This is the season. Top priority. As for a League Cup champion, who is rare?

He also hoped that Liverpool could have a good fight against Manchester City in the final. No matter what the final result is, as long as the energy of both sides is consumed, it is a success.

Ferguson didn't know the Chinese idiom "Crane and clams compete for the fisherman's profit", but he knew the truth.

Let Manchester City and Liverpool die in the League Cup final! I just sit in the mountains and watch the tigers fight, waiting for a good show.

Sure enough, after Manchester City defeated Manchester United, they appeared to be very energetic. Several players laughed at Manchester United's current decline for the first time, and then expressed passionately that it was the best result to meet Liverpool in the League Cup final.

"This is an important occasion, very suitable for us to take revenge. As long as we can beat Liverpool in the League Cup final, we can avenge our previous revenge!"

Manchester City fans also stated that they will occupy the Wembley Stadium by then, and they want to let Liverpool taste them.

Some fans said that they had already planned to laugh at Liverpool and ridicule Liverpool’s songs and slogans at the awards ceremony, and asked everyone to learn as soon as possible so that they could be used to attack Liverpool.

Look at this lively appearance, as if they have defeated Liverpool.

As for Ferguson, he doesn't care about criticism and bad-mouthing in the media about his loss in the semi-finals. He knew very well that he swallowed his breath at this time for the final explosion. At that time, he will definitely make those who look down on him and laugh at him now pay the price!

※※※

After the two semi-finals of the League Cup, there were grievances about Liverpool and Manchester City, the media was very restrained and only hyped for one day, and then died down. Everything returned to a calm state.

It's not that the media have found it conscientiously and no longer hype it.

It's just that it doesn't make sense for them to hype the finals until now, because there is still a month away from the finals. Now that all the enthusiasm is burned out, what should I do when I need it?

Squeeze it now, and then it will break out.

The media are best at doing things like whipping up their appetite.

Therefore, the impact of the League Cup lasted only one day, and everyone's attention was shifted to the selection of the FIFA Ballon d'Or.

For Chen Yingxiong, this award has nothing to say.

He took the time to go to Zurich, stood on stage for more than ten minutes, and then watched Neymar from Barcelona accept the Ballon d'Or from FIFA President Blatter, then clapped routinely and stepped down.

His performance at this awards ceremony was quite satisfactory, because everyone was quite satisfactory. Messi knew that he was out of play, so he was very low-key. Neymar didn't mention Chen Yingxiong's name during the whole process, and didn't know if it was intentional, or there was no need to mention it. Anyway, he and Chen Yingxiong were still not worried.

The only thing Chen Yingxiong was happy about was that he defeated Messi in this selection. Neymar is the first, he is the second, won the silver ball, and Messi, can only hold the bronze ball and take a photo with the other two people.

The media are holding back their energy and wanting Chen Yingxiong to say something amazing. For example, evaluate Neymar and evaluate Messi.

Some media asked him nakedly what he thought of Messi's only Bronze Ball Award.

Although Chen Yingxiong is unhappy with Messi and Barcelona, ​​he doesn't need to be used as a gun by others...

He hates being used as a gun by others more than Messi.

So he was very low-key here, said nothing, and returned to Liverpool with his silver ball.

The media were disappointed, but Chen Yingxiong didn't care about them.
