Hero of the Penalty Area

When the Liverpool players returned to the locker room in despair, they were surprised to find that Chen Yingxiong was inside.

"I thought you would be back soon, so I came here early. But it seems that the blow to you is a bit big, so I waited here for a long time to see you." Seeing his teammates, Chen Yingxiong said .

He smelled like a coach when he said this. But no one finds it strange, everyone is used to it. Sometimes in the locker room, they can't even tell if the head coach is Gerrard or Chen Yingxiong.

As the oldest person on the team, he is also normal to speak old-fashioned. You must know that at the age of Chen Yingxiong, everyone can make a prominence in the coaching world.

Gerrard also has no objection to Chen Yingxiong's words about his team. In fact, in daily training and competition, Chen Yingxiong is indeed equivalent to half an assistant coach.

Otherwise, he will not be easy to lead this team.

The teammates didn't care about Chen Yingxiong's speech and attitude, what they care about was Chen Yingxiong's appearance in the locker room.

"I am not here to comfort and encourage you. I am here to apologize to you. Because of my impulse, we finally lost this champion..."

Hearing what Chen Yingxiong said, Gerrard stood up: "This is not your responsibility, hero. Whether you win or lose, it should be the whole team's responsibility."

Chen Yingxiong shook his head: "No, Stephen. This is my responsibility, please let me take all the responsibility on myself. Because this way, when I come back next season, I will be full of strength. I think here. To everyone, it doesn't matter if you lose a season's championship, it doesn't matter if you haven't won 15 consecutive championships. This is just an episode. In the end, 15 league championships will definitely be in our hands, and not far away, just next season! When I come back next season, we will go to win the league championship together!"

Since being suspended, Chen Yingxiong showed his ambition in front of everyone for the first time.

Everyone thought that being banned for nine months would definitely wipe out Chen Yingxiong's fighting spirit. After all, he is almost forty years old. At this age, there are nine months without a ball to play, and it is easy to get tired physically and mentally.

The club said that he would renew his contract for another two years, in everyone's opinion. More out of an idea of ​​showing his attitude, and not necessarily really expecting him to play for another two years.

But looking at it now, they are all wrong. Chen Yingxiong did not admit defeat, he is still the Chen Yingxiong who is always full of desire for victory and championship.

This discovery is more exciting to the team than what Chen Yingxiong said.

For a time, Liverpool's backbone was found!

The frustrated expressions on many players' faces disappeared and smiles began to appear.

Now they are full of expectations and motivation for the next season.

When all the players were washed and returned to the bus, Gerrard joked about staying in the dressing room and chatting with the players. The energetic Chen Yingxiong said: "Thank you, hero."

"It's too much to say thank you, Steve. Who and who are we two!" Chen Yingxiong smiled.

Gerrard also smiled and stopped continuing the topic. He turned to Chen Yingxiong: "Do you really plan to renew the contract with the club for another two years?"

Chen Yingxiong gave him an answer that made him feel reasonable and somewhat unexpected.

"No. I won't renew my contract with the club."

It's reasonable because Chen Yingxiong's contract expires next season. After it expires, he will be 41 years old. Any player should retire at this age, so it is reasonable. It surprised him because from the perspective of his high-spirited Yang Zi, he originally thought that Chen Yingxiong would accept the team's kindness and continue to lead the team forward.

"I have said it a long time ago. The reason why I have repeatedly renewed my contract with the team and insisted on not retiring until the age of forty is only because I want to help Liverpool break Manchester United's record for winning the Premier League. Fifteen titles, The most difficult thing is time. I can only get one each year. So I have to play until I am forty. I thought I could achieve this goal when I was forty, and then I played casually in the last season. How can I think of it? After such a thing...but fortunately, my contract with the team is still one year, so I still have a chance. After this task is completed, I will retire directly."

Gerrard knew this, but he always thought it was just an excuse for Chen Yingxiong to want to play more.

He really has never seen a player who is eager to compete, eager to win, and eager for a championship like Chen Yingxiong. No matter how many championships he wins, this trait has never changed.

Things like the kind of thing that loses motivation after becoming famous, and sleeps on the book of merit, never happened to Chen Yingxiong. Otherwise, he can retire directly at the age of 23. Because at the age of 23, he got all the honors a professional player can get in the club.

Hearing Chen Yingxiong's words with a very certain tone, Gerrard sighed, "It's a pity."

Chen Yingxiong smiled: "A 41-year-old is about to retire. What is a pity?"

"I thought you were going to be fifty years old..."

"Then the FA and Platini will send killers directly to kill me, right?"

Both people laughed.

At the press conference after the game, Gerrard attended as the team's head coach. He said that although Liverpool lost the league championship this season, the team will not stop pursuing the championship.

"We will make a comeback next season."

When a reporter asked him whether the team's final loss of the league championship this season was related to Chen Yingxiong's suspension, he denied it.

"Whether it is a victory or a defeat, it is a matter for the whole team and has nothing to do with a certain player."

The next day the major media focused on the matter of Liverpool losing the league title.

The tone of most media is gloating.

Because Liverpool has monopolized the championship in this league for long enough. Before that, they were all champions for 14 consecutive years. Everyone is aesthetically tired. Now Arsenal defeated Liverpool and won the league title, causing cheers from everyone. As a loser, Liverpool will naturally be stepped on, and in the mud.

The crowd vented all the negative emotions they had accumulated for 14 years, such as envy, jealousy, hatred... and so on.

In the end, a wave of cynicism against Liverpool was formed. The British took their humor to the extreme, and various jokes about Liverpool appeared endlessly on the Internet.

The more serious media began to analyze the fall of the Liverpool dynasty and what the post-Liverpool dynasty era would look like. Looking at it now, in today's Premier League, no team has absolute strength to dominate the Premier League, unlike the original Manchester United, nor the later Liverpool. It seems that the future of the Premier League is likely to be the Warring States era in which the heroes will come together.

But this is a good thing for the Premier League.

Because competition has become more intense, and competition is an inevitable element of development.

"Everyone is boring and disgusted by everyone fighting for life and death every season, and finally Liverpool winning the championship. Then in the future we will see the thriving Premier League again! Liverpool can no longer monopolize the championship of this event, Chen The dictatorship of the hero, the tyrant has been overthrown! Cheers, fans all over the world who love the Premier League, cheer for freedom, cheer for a new life!"

A media outlet shouted excitedly.

As a counterattack to this phenomenon, Liverpool Echo’s reporter Buscomby wrote in a column: “The failure of a team did not receive sympathy and comfort, but received such a large-scale mockery and the most vicious attack. . Liverpool fans should not feel frustrated and painful, or even angry, but should be proud. Because if we are not so strong, how can they be so crazy? Just like the hero said, the enemy attacked us more fiercely, indicating The more they are afraid of us. This is the highest reward for us. The championship can take many, but it can make everyone have to put aside all kinds of differences and unite against us. This is the glory of Liverpool, and this glory is in England. It has never been in the history of a century of football! So Liverpool fans, raise their heads and bravely face those cynicism. Because we have created an era in Liverpool, there is no one before, and it is these clowns who use whatever means. It cannot be erased, it is there, fourteen consecutive championships, there quietly watching the clowns who are crazy because of one of our failures!"

But even for Buscomby, he didn't say that Liverpool's future would be better, but he chose the past honors and couldn't obliterate this perspective.

Obviously, he is not particularly optimistic about Liverpool's future prospects, so he chose to remain silent on this topic.

His silence seems to be correct, and whoever's carnival seems to be justified.

Because just two days after the end of the league, Chen Yingxiong’s official press spokesman Vera officially announced through the media that Chen Yingxiong will not renew his contract with Liverpool for two years. His contract will expire on July 1st next year, and the expiration date is when he retires!

Arsenal regained the league title after a lapse of 24 years, and Liverpool's 14 consecutive championships came to an abrupt end...After Chen Yingxiong's statement was made, news like this was eclipsed and was quickly swept into the blind spot of attention.

All the front-page headlines of the media were replaced by Chen Yingxiong's statement. The news that he announced that he would not renew his contract and set a date for his retirement immediately became a focus of attention all over the world. The popularity on the Internet even surpassed the Middle East peace process and the deterioration of the situation on the Korean Peninsula.

Everyone is sensitively aware that after Chen Yingxiong's statement is made, it means that an era is about to fall its curtain...! ~!
