Hero of the Penalty Area

Chapter One Hundred and Thirty: Be Kind and Kind (First, ask for monthly pass)

After the FA Cup quarter-finals, Chen Yingxiong returned to the first team, and the reserve team was still the same. In daily training, he played in the reserve league on the match day.

The FA Cup semi-final date is April 11, and Liverpool's opponent in the semi-final is also freshly announced-Tottenham Hotspur.

The players of the reserve team did not think about the promise Chen Yingxiong once made to them in the game. Everyone is an adult, and no one is an innocent and cute fool. They all felt that this was nothing but Chen Yingxiong's way of boosting the team's morale, and it was a normal motivational method.

And they don't feel that they are the team responsible for the final reversal of Aston Villa. All the media have said that because of the presence of Chen Yingxiong in this game, if there is no Chen Yingxiong, based on their performance in the game, they might not even be able to make it through the fourth round of the FA Cup...

They think what the media say makes sense.

If there were no heroes, no one would pay attention to them at all, and they would not be able to go today. So this honor should belong to the heroes, and has nothing to do with them. Even if the final semi-finals and finals did not have their share, they have accepted this fact.

Now Liverpool's opponents in the semifinals are teams like Tottenham Hotspur, and O'Neal will never give the reserve team such a chance.

As long as your brain is normal, you will never really believe that O'Neal will let the reserve team play in the semi-finals, and the opponent is a team like Tottenham Hotspur.

And he would not put Chen Yingxiong on the bench. How could the head coach of a dignified team allow players to make such a headstrong move?

At that time, if you lose the game because of Chen Yingxiong's absence, no one can afford to be responsible. Even a hero will certainly not be able to bear this responsibility.

So if you have heard it, forget it, just treat it as the hero's comforting words. Anyway, being able to fight side by side with the heroes, they are already very happy.

But these reserve players did not know that at this time Chen Yingxiong was arguing with Martin O'Neal over this matter.

※※※

After the training was over, Chen Yingxiong took the initiative to find O'Neill and wanted to talk to him alone.

O'Neal didn't know what he was going to do, but he was willing to take the initiative to talk to himself, which is of course a good thing-in the past, O'Neal went to invite Chen Yingxiong.

Chen Yingxiong followed O'Neal back to the head coach's office. After O'Neal sat down, he signaled Chen Yingxiong to sit too.

Chen Yingxiong did not sit down obediently. He walked to O'Neal's desk, looked at the head coach in the chair and said, "Boss, I have a request. I hope you can realize it..."

O'Neill was surprised to hear Chen Yingxiong say this. In his impression, Chen Yingxiong almost never "begged" him for anything.

"If it's a leave, I don't think I have any problems..." O'Neill said. "Just don't delay the next game..."

"No, it's not a leave. I can ask you in advance, what do you think of the FA Cup, boss? Are you planning to stop here, or are you planning to reach the final and stop here, or to win the championship? of?"

O'Neill didn't expect Chen Yingxiong to ask him about this question.

"I haven't figured it out yet... but I think it should be hard to win the championship, right? What's the matter, hero?"

"Then can I ask you not to replace reserve players with first-team players in the semifinals and finals?"

Chen Yingxiong finally put forward his request, but Martin O'Neill thought he was joking, he froze for a moment, and then laughed: "This joke is not funny, hero."

Chen Yingxiong shook his head and said seriously: "No, I'm not kidding. I really hope so. I hope you will stick to the method of adding me to the reserve team in the FA Cup semi-finals and finals."

Martin O'Neill sat on the chair in an upright posture, his body straight, his head slightly raised, this is a posture that respects Chen Yingxiong, but his face has an expression of looking at aliens.

After a while, he reacted, and then shook his head and said: "I can't agree to your request, hero, this is crazy! Tottenham is not a team that can be dealt with casually. With a reserve team, we I'm afraid I will have to lose the chance to compete for the FA Cup..."

It was rejected by the head coach, which was expected by Chen Yingxiong, but he must insist on his request: "I don’t think that using the reserve team will lose the game, boss. We have already played against Aston Villa. Proved this point, who said that the reserve team is inferior to the first team? If the opponent underestimates the enemy because we sent the reserve team, we have a high chance of defeating them!"

"Then what if the opponent doesn't underestimate the enemy?"

"Then we can beat them too, but the odds are a little bit smaller."

"How small?"

"If we underestimate the enemy, we have an 80% chance of defeating Tottenham. If we don't underestimate the enemy...60%."

Hearing what Chen Yingxiong said, Martin O'Neal almost couldn't resist the urge to roll his eyes-his opponent was Tottenham! Let you say it so unbearable!

You use the reserve team against Tottenham, and you can still guarantee a 60% win rate. Do you really think that Tottenham is a soft persimmon?

"Are you sure, hero?"

Seeing Martin O'Neal's disbelief look on his face, Chen Yingxiong curled his lips: "Of course, as long as I try my best."

O'Neill felt that he had nothing to say. He could only shook his head: "No, hero, I can't agree to your request. Your request is too risky..."

"Why? Didn't I say that the League Cup and the FA Cup are all given to the reserve team to play?"

"It was a general League Cup and FA Cup, not a semi-final game. To be honest, I don't think the reserve team has the strength and experience, nor the psychological quality to cope with such a big scene..."

"I think the opposite of you, boss."

In order to honor his promise, Chen Yingxiong really gave up today. He interrupted O'Neill directly and said. "I don't think how weak our reserve team is. Didn't Shankly say? There are two best teams in Merseyside, Liverpool and the Liverpool reserve team? I think he is right!"

Chen Yingxiong suddenly quoted Bill Shankly's famous quote and surprised Martin O'Neill. As a football player who has been in England for a long time, how could he not know Bill Shankly? He also heard Bill Shankly's words, but he didn't expect Chen Yingxiong to use them here...

"That was before, hero, the times are different..."

"No, I have confidence, boss, I have confidence! I have the confidence to enter the final with the reserve team, and even win the championship trophy! As long as you give me an order, I will work hard with them!" Chen Yingxiong He rushed forward eagerly, pressed his hands on the table, leaned down and stared at Martin O'Neal, his eyes unblinking.

O'Neal finds it very strange, why Chen Yingxiong should be obsessed with this problem, even if he develops feelings because of being with the players of the reserve team for a long time, he won't be so strong...

"Because I promised them, I promised them that I will appear with them in the semifinals!" Chen Yingxiong replied decisively, and Martin O'Neal was surprised again-he really had it today. Too much surprise...

He understands what Chen Yingxiong said when the team was in a circle after the team scored. He also understood why Liverpool's performance completely changed after that-let Chen Yingxiong speak to those reserve players In this case... those reserve team players feel valued and respected, and they will naturally explode with tremendous fighting power.

Chen Yingxiong saw that Martin O’Neal was only surprised, but he was unmoved and did not let go, so he had to resort to a killer trick: "I also promised them, boss, if you don’t agree to my terms, then you will be half of the FA Cup with Tottenham. I won't play in the finals."

O'Neal's mouth grew wide in surprise-this was the most surprising time he has been today.

"Are you kidding me, hero?" He stood up straight from his chair.

"No, no kidding, boss, I’m serious, and you know I’m serious, I really will do it. I said I want to be with them, either on the court or in the stands. To be an audience."

"You...you are a nonsense!" O'Neill held back for a long time, and finally said something serious.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yingxiong nodded: "Yes, I'm just fooling around, boss. But let me abandon them in the semifinals and kick away the reserve players who helped us reach the semifinals. They are completely out of this game, I can't do it!"

Martin O'Neill was speechless, because his previous approach was indeed too unnatural. After using people, he threw them aside.

"Why let them work hard when they are fighting, and when it is finally time to harvest the fruits of victory, it is our turn to play? I can't figure out this problem, boss. You have to say that this is because you are worried that your strength is not equal, then I want to prove it. One point-even if Liverpool are on the reserve team, they have the opportunity and ability to win the championship! Boss, they were in charge of this event from the beginning, why did they change them in the end? Don't you see their hatred of this decision? Just like the League Cup, the honour of the League Cup should obviously be theirs, but no matter whether it is the award ceremony or the celebration ceremony, they are not there... They are just forgotten by all of us. Is this normal, boss?"

When Chen Yingxiong asked rhetorically, Martin O'Neill was speechless.

"They are also members of the Liverpool club, but because they are in the reserve team, should they suffer such an unfair treatment, boss? I just want to return this to them and **** us from them. Give them the opportunity, so that they can stand upright on the podium and enjoy cheering! So I ask you to agree to my request and let me join them in the FA Cup semi-finals, if we reach In the final, I will participate in the final...I am confident that I will bring a championship back to the team! So I will never lose the championship just because it is a player from the reserve team!"

Martin O'Neill didn't know when he was pressed back into the chair by Chen Yingxiong's momentum. He was now leaning back in the chair, looking up at Chen Yingxiong in a daze.

It took a while for him to react, and he sighed: "Well, I promised your request, hero. You have to give the reserve players an honor, no problem, but you have to know the risks involved in doing so. . If you lose, you should know how much pressure you will bring to yourself and the players in the reserve team. Of course I hope you are helping them, but you don’t want to end up harming them.”

Hearing that O'Neill had agreed to his request, Chen Yingxiong was very happy: "Of course not, boss! Just work hard to win the game! I am the best at this!"

He gave O'Neill a thumbs up.
