Hero of the Penalty Area

When Chen Yingxiong scored the football goal for the second time, many old Liverpool fans burst into tears.

They are not seeing a bright future, but because this scene reminds them of the past. At that time Liverpool swept the world and swept all the championships. This was the case at the time. Liverpool were able to score goals at the beginning of the game, not just Inter Milan or Barcelona. No matter how strong the team was, it was Liverpool's background.

But this scene has not been seen for many years.

Unexpectedly, in the last season of Chen Yingxiong's career, they saw it again.

Should such a hero retire?

The fans in the stands soon had such an idea.

A man who can score twice in four minutes against Inter Milan in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, even if he is nearly forty-one, should he retire? There is no shortage of stars in the world who sit on the bench with high wages and mess around. They are the ones who should retire the most, and Chen Yingxiong is definitely not.

Not only the fans have such thoughts, but even the commentators have expressed emotion.

"Look at the hero's performance. I want to say that he is a forty-year-old guy. Do you believe it? I want to say that he will retire this season. Do you believe it? But this is the truth... a player in such a good state, But to retire after the end of this season..."

"Many people like to say that only time can defeat him, but I want to say that this sentence does not apply to heroes! Even time... Even time cannot defeat the man in front of him! He retired because he wanted to retire, and It's not that he is old!"

"Forty-year-old Chen Yingxiong taught Inter Milan's hairy boys a good lesson! Before the game, Inter Milan thought they could easily beat Liverpool, and they were still at Stanley Park! I didn't know they came in from outside the stadium. At the time, did you see the statue next to the visiting team’s gate? I think it makes sense for the Liverpool club to put the statue of Chen Yingxiong there, because it will remind those visiting teams. Where are they fighting with whom? !"

"Although it is only four minutes. But in and four minutes we once again proved an unbreakable truth, that is, as long as the hero Chen is here, the space battleship Liverpool will never sink!"

Even if I can't understand Chen Yingxiong anymore. In front of his amazing performance, these people also had to bow their heads and bow their heads to court.

Football is a sport that advocates the strong. People here like to worship the strong. Chen Yingxiong is such a strong man. At the age of forty, without any conspiracy and tricks, without any means of indiscriminate use, he defeated a formidable enemy on the court in an upright manner. Such a performance deserves everyone's applause and admiration for him.

Soon, the "Song of Heroes" sounded in the stands.

It has been more than ten years since the birth of this song, and with the pace of Liverpool's Southern and Northern Wars, this song has also been sung throughout the world. Many fans who are not Liverpool are familiar with this song.

As long as the song rang, they would know that the terrifying hero Chen was showing off his power as their opponent. Except for kneeling down and head down shivering. Nothing else can be done.

Over the years, in the album of fan songs released by the Liverpool club commissioned by the audio-visual company, this song coexisted as the title song and Liverpool's team song.

Now this song sounded again. This is the way Liverpool fans are expressing their support and love for Chen Yingxiong.

After this season, this song will never be sung on the court again.

Because the people worthy of them are no longer there.

Perhaps with such feelings, Liverpool fans sang very loudly this time.

With the singing, Chen Yingxiong and his teammates ended the celebration and slowly ran back to their own half.

In the singing, he raised his right fist.

As if it had been signaled by the orchestra conductor, the singing in the stands suddenly rose to the next level, as if a violent storm swept the entire stadium.

Discolored the Inter Milan fans in the stadium.

They realized what kind of opponent they were playing against.

Nine months is not long, but they all forgot about it...

Yes, this Liverpool team may still not be able to win the Champions League, but it will not even make it to the quarterfinals, right? In the eighth-finals, they met Liverpool led by Chen Yingxiong. They were unlucky!

Stella Maggioni on the coaching bench of the visiting team was not angry this time. He just stood on the sidelines without any other expression.

In fact, after he discovered the behavior of the players on the field, he was mentally prepared. He wanted to yell at them, and it was impossible to prevent them from doing so, because the noise at Stanley Park is too loud, even if you talk face-to-face, you don’t necessarily listen. Be clear, don't say let him yell with his throat. He is a human being, not a machine. He can't compete with more than 70,000 Liverpool fans alone.

When the goal really happened, his thought turned out to be... "These **** should know that the hero is great. Then they should be honest?"

He felt a sense of relief. He even thanked Liverpool and Chen Yingxiong for helping him teach these people with their tails up to the sky.

He thought that after this game, this group of people would never dare to look down on anyone again.

As for the game itself, Stella Maggioni is not very concerned.

Even if he loses the game in the end, it is normal. What he has to consider is how to maximize the benefits of losing the game.

Let the team avoid such mistakes in the future. Only a team that has passed this level can truly become the overlord.

Anyway, Chen Yingxiong has retired this season. After he retires, Liverpool will certainly not be as good as it is now. Then, if Inter Milan is ready, he can take advantage of the situation and become the new king of European football.

Just take this game as it!

※※※

Chen Yingxiong scored twice in four minutes, allowing Liverpool to take a two-goal lead just 20 minutes into the game. This game has completely fallen into the rhythm of Liverpool.

In the next game, Liverpool no longer continued to aggressively attack, but defended and counterattacked.

Let Inter Milan press up, leaving Chen Yingxiong alone in the frontcourt. He is getting older, and his speed is not as fast as before. Physical fitness is no better than before. But as long as he is on the court, that is still a huge threat.

And Inter Milan never dare to underestimate him, even if he didn't take the money. There are also two central defenders around at any time.

This also caused Inter Milan's offense to not be able to press on the whole line, and not many troops were put into the offense.

Give Liverpool a chance to breathe, and from time to time hit a counterattack to threaten Inter Milan's goal.

And frightened by the threat of Liverpool's counterattack. Inter Milan didn't dare to counterattack really desperately. They could only shrink the defense and retreat to the defense, but Liverpool's counterattack could no longer score.

The two sides remained in a stalemate until the end of the first half, and the score did not change.

Stella Maggioni, who returned to halftime, did not scold the players bloody. He knew that scolding would not solve the problem at this time.

Things have already happened, so what I have to do is how to guide them correctly to avoid the player's morale plummeting.

But the lesson still has to be given to them.

"How is it. How does it feel to be taught by a forty-year-old guy?"

The players lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look up at their coach.

This thing really made them wrong.

"Don't be unconvinced, and don't feel wronged. Let me tell you. This is normal! What do you think Chen Yingxiong is? It is not luck that he can lead Liverpool to monopolize the Champions League for nine years! Don't look at it. He is now forty years old. But his experience and skills have reached the level! You are still tenderer than him! But this game is a good thing for you. Never underestimate any opponent, even if it looks A non-threatening opponent. I hope that the four minutes of this game will give you some inspiration. This will be a valuable asset in your career! Don’t just focus on this game, you have to take a long-term view, This game will affect your life! You only won the Champions League once, and you are overwhelmed. But do you know how Liverpool created the Champions League for nine consecutive championships? Even if they win the Champions League again, they will always remain. A cautious and humble attitude, taking every opponent seriously, and even being too cautious. For this reason, the media did not ridicule them, but they have never changed because of this. They are still like this, so no matter how powerful the opponent is, All that can be felt in front of them is despair! There is absolutely no chance! This is the style that a real strong team should have!"

Stella Maggioni thought of Martin O'Neill when he was in power. He was mocked by countless people as a coward and a coward without eggs. But when he left Liverpool, everyone discovered his greatness.

Humility is a virtue. Taking every opponent seriously is the embodiment of professional quality. Never be arrogant and underestimate the enemy.

Everyone can say these things, but few people really do it.

Martin O'Neal did it all, and persisted for so many years.

He is like the coolant for Liverpool’s fast-moving car. Without him, the engine would have blown out due to overheating. It is because of him that Liverpool can so wildly gallop across the European continent without worrying about any accidents.

Some people say that Chen Yingxiong is the biggest contributor to Liverpool's nine consecutive Champions League titles.

But from the point of view of a head coach, Stella Maggioni felt that Martin O'Neal may be the most important but the most overlooked person.

His aura is not as dazzling as Guardiola, Mourinho and other famous coaches at the time, but he is the head coach with the largest number of championships in the history of world football. He is the historical coach points ranking selected by the Sports History and Statistics Association. The number one person on the list.

There is no statue of Martin O’Neal outside the Stanley Park stadium, but at the entrance of the stadium’s home team fans, the gate is named "Martin O’Neal Gate."

He has been tied with the legendary meritorious coaches in the history of the Liverpool club for future generations to admire.
