Vol 7 Chapter 37: UEFA Champions League (first guarantee)

Chen Yingxiong's UEFA Golden Globe goal caused an uproar.

Everyone didn't expect a forty-year-old guy to have such ambitions.

Of course, the media is not optimistic about his voice.

After all, he is too old, and his competitors are so fierce.

If there is no decent competitor, that's fine, maybe out of sympathy, the judges will vote for Chen Yingxiong.

But now it's different.

Several media experts with voting rights have publicly stated that they will not vote for Chen Yingxiong. Because Chen Yingxiong is too old, and he can't have any performance that can get the Golden Globe Award.

It is not enough to be a domestic league champion. Otherwise, how can the importance and authority of the Golden Globe Award be guaranteed?

No one can or dare to imagine that Chen Yingxiong will watch the Champions League champions.

Only people in the Liverpool team know.

Because Chen Yingxiong told them.

※※※

"Everyone, this season I hope we can not only win the league championship, but also the Champions League!"

Chen Yingxiong told his teammates in a closed-door meeting in the locker room.

Closed meetings in the locker room will be held at regular intervals. Mainly the recent internal affairs of the team, including resolving conflicts and disputes between certain players, discussing where to eat, or discussing whether the recent tactics are suitable for the team. If the team loses consecutively, a meeting is also needed to discuss Countermeasures, do criticism and self-criticism.

No coaches participate in this kind of meeting. Only players. And Chen Yingxiong as the captain and boss of the team. Well-deserved host.

Generally speaking, if there are any internal affairs of the team, the final discussion comes to the discussion area, and the person who makes the final decision is Chen Yingxiong.

Chen Yingxiong had this prestige, he had the final say, and everyone was convinced.

Even if the two people had a dispute during training, when they started fighting, Chen Yingxiong came forward to invite two people to dinner, whether they were old Liverpool players or newcomers who had just joined the team. I can't help but go. Usually after this meal, the two are reconciled as before.

Because Liverpool has such a leader, there has never been any messy news in Liverpool's locker room for so many years. This makes many media feel very boring. But it made Liverpool fans very happy.

A united locker room is the guarantee of combat effectiveness. It is precisely because of such a dressing room environment that Liverpool can win the league championship for 14 consecutive seasons.

Now Chen Yingxiong is convening this meeting because the Champions League knockout is coming soon. He feels it is necessary to unify the team's understanding and goals, so as not to be unhappy after the fight. Some people want to go forward, and some want to stay in place.

So he stated his goal.

After hearing his goal, the teammates looked at each other.

Liverpool have not won the Champions League in six seasons.

This is directly related to the decline of Chen Yingxiong's physical fitness.

Chen Yingxiong is no longer the all-round and invincible Chen Yingxiong. He can handle the Premier League with ease, but in the more intense and higher-level Champions League matches, he is somewhat powerless.

It also has something to do with the team's lack of initiative. After winning the Champions League for nine consecutive seasons. Players who will never be satisfied are already satisfied. Thinking that when Liverpool won the Champions League consecutively, every season of the UEFA Champions League had just begun, and the media asserted that Liverpool would definitely win the Champions League this season. When something becomes a natural result, no matter how motivated people are, they will gradually lose motivation.

Even if there was a lack of motivation before, at least there was still an invincible Chen Yingxiong. Chen Yingxiong could take them to the championship, then they would win a championship by the way.

But when Chen Yingxiong could no longer lead them to the Champions League, they also had an excuse for slack-seeing Yingxiong Chen is not good, and we can't...

As a result, Liverpool missed the Champions League for six consecutive seasons.

They stopped in the semifinals in two seasons. One season stopped in the quarterfinals. In another season they reached the finals but ended up hating them, and in the other two seasons they even stopped in the top sixteen.

For a super giant that has been able to win the Champions League for nine consecutive seasons, such a result cannot be tolerated, although this result may be considered a good result for the previous Liverpool.

So before last season. Liverpool began to purge the players in the team at that time in batches, but generally not enterprising. Players who lack the hunger for the championship have been washed out. Those who remain are still useful to the team, and they also have players who aspire to the championship.

They have replaced a large number of players who have lost motivation after becoming famous, even if these players are no matter how they are in their years, no matter how experienced and outstanding, they don't want them.

These people have no motivation, and they are just a bunch of wastes waiting to die with high salaries.

So Liverpool decisively took the killer and made a fortune while these people were still able to sell in the transfer market.

Then use the money to re-purchase new players, or promote from the youth team, reserve team, now most of this Liverpool are young but full of potential players. The only problem is lack of experience. Their experience comes from Chen Yingxiong, and Chen Yingxiong is their spiritual pillar and source of strength. This may be one of the reasons why they performed poorly after Chen Yingxiong was suspended last season and eventually lost the league title.

Because this team is too young.

But being young is also good, that is, it is easy to be boosted by morale, so this season Chen Yingxiong shouted "Let's play big" to make the team's morale like a rainbow, and together create a brilliant record in January.

More than 70% of the people in this team are players who have not won the Champions League. They are full of desire and motivation for the Champions League. The only difference is experience and ability.

Although Liverpool monopolized the Champions League for nine years. But this is still the top honor in European football. Any team and player are eager to win the Champions League.

This is evident from the fierce competition in the Champions League in previous seasons.

After the end of the Liverpool era in European football, it officially entered the Warring States era. Several teams that have the strength to win the championship kill you all because of the Champions League champion.

Therefore, in the eyes of Liverpool players who have never won the Champions League, the Champions League is still very attractive. When some players came to the team when they transferred, they even came for the Champions League. How could they have thought that they did not catch up with a good time, Liverpool's Champions League dynasty has ended.

Those players who are still able to stay in the team even feel that Liverpool can no longer win the Champions League.

Because Chen Yingxiong is old and the team is too young, it is not competitive compared to other teams. It is also normal.

If they want to win the Champions League, they have to transfer and leave.

But for many years in this team, everyone has feelings. Besides, the atmosphere in the Liverpool locker room is very good. There is a captain like Chen Yingxiong. Everyone is like a big family.

So even if they fail to win the Champions League, they are reluctant to leave the team.

Of course, there are very few such people, only three or four in the team.

Even these three or four people were shocked after hearing Chen Yingxiong's target.

They didn't expect the captain, who was already forty years old, to have such thoughts.

Then they lowered their heads one after another, because they thought of themselves, one or two people who were only in their twenties, or in their early thirties, had lost such motivation. They can't even compare to a forty year old...

They are ashamed of it.

From this point, we can see the difference between the inside and outside of Liverpool.

If it's the people outside. Whether it was the media or the fans, when Chen Yingxiong said that he was going to win the Champions League, he must have an incredible expression. Then the first reaction was that Chen Yingxiong would never complete this task.

The people inside the Liverpool team never doubt whether their captain can be achieved. They will only be embarrassed by the fighting spirit embodied by Chen Yingxiong.

As the closest comrades who have been in contact with Chen Yingxiong for the longest time, they are too aware of the strength of their captain.

After being suspended for nine months, he was able to score five goals in his first game, and it was the goal of Chelsea, the best defense in the league, that he broke. What else can he not do?

※※※

After Chen Yingxiong put forward this goal, no one in the team refuted him, and no one put forward opinions.

When it comes to the team's season goals, everyone is accustomed to listening to the captain. Because they all know the captain and club chairman, general manager, and head coach. You can wear a pair of pants if you have a good relationship, as long as he says. Then the club will definitely support him from top to bottom.

The big guys of the club all support him. Isn't it just looking for death when he comes out to oppose it?

Anyway, the head coach and the captain are responsible for how to achieve this goal. They don't have to worry about it at all, they just need to do it.

Naturally, Chen Yingxiong didn't want that kind of opposition in his team.

He is not here to discuss with everyone, "We will win another Champions League this season?", he is here to tell everyone the result directly.

They just need to do what they want.

Chen Yingxiong was very satisfied with everyone's response.

Then he began to tell everyone what needs to be done to do this-of course he can't tell his players from a tactical and strategic point of view, he is not professional. The coach will do this job.

All he has to do is to boost the morale of the team, set an example, so that everyone does not dare to **** and slippery.

Champions in the Champions League may be difficult, but Chen Yingxiong has the belief that he must win, and he has to pass his belief into everyone's heart and make them the same as himself. Only in this way can this team really have the possibility of winning the Champions League.

For a team, no matter how strong it is, there is one thing that is most important and must have, that is morale and belief.

In Chen Yingxiong's view, he has not won the Champions League for six consecutive seasons. The Champions League gene that Liverpool has integrated into the blood is fading. He wants to help everyone find this gene.

Get back the desire for the Champions League.

Only then, winning the Champions League is not an empty slogan, but a practical goal. ! ~!
