Vol 7 Chapter 45: Champions League quarter-finals (first guarantee)

No one knows Stella Maggioni's careful thinking and abacus.

They will not care about the life and death of Inter Milan. For them, it is a good thing that a strong team like Inter Milan unexpectedly lost to Liverpool. Because they missed another strong enemy on their way to the championship.

As for Chen Yingxiong's hat-trick in this game, so what?

That is his own glory and achievements, and has nothing to do with Liverpool. Because he wants to be the top scorer in the Champions League.

And he can't seem to be sure whether Liverpool can make it to the final, so he has to score as many goals as possible in the first few games.

Liverpool is still a team of Chen Yingxiong alone, and the others are not worth mentioning. Carlton Cole is also old, he is not Chen Yingxiong, can be played until forty years old.

If Chen Yingxiong is not in good shape, Liverpool's performance will be greatly reduced.

And Chen Yingxiong is already forty years old, how long can he maintain such a vigorous state?

In the first game, he was really in good shape, and he completed a hat trick. This must be because he had accumulated too much anger before and vented in this game.

After this game, he will soon be unsustainable.

After all, he is old, and as the schedule gets denser, it is questionable whether he can perform decently when he is physically weak.

These people also noticed a detail. That is, in the Liverpool game, Chen Yingxiong was replaced in the 70th minute.

This is a very surprising change.

Chen Yingxiong only played a league match before, and he was replaced in the middle of the match, indicating that his physical strength was weak.

Then the competition will be more intensive in the future. By then, can Chen Yingxiong's physical strength still be able to support it?

The answer is almost beyond doubt, everyone knows.

So they are not afraid at all.

※※※

Before the next round of the Champions League. There are two more league games.

Gerrard's Liverpool continue to implement the rotation. However, Chen Yingxiong still started.

But he was replaced after only half of the game after the start.

Before he was replaced, Liverpool had a three-goal lead in the first half.

Chen Yingxiong scored twice in the game.

But everyone can see what Gerrard's substitution means. This is to make Chen Yingxiong consume a little less physical energy, and a little less.

This makes those who feel that physical strength affects Chen's heroic state more firm in their thinking.

The twenty-eighth round of the league. Liverpool won another game and Chen Yingxiong scored a goal in the game.

Since Chen Yingxiong came back, he has scored 16 goals.

And Liverpool also scored a winning streak.

Their points with the league's No. 1 Arsenal have gradually shrunk to six points. The league ranking rose to fourth place. Has entered the Champions League qualification.

Seeing Liverpool today is really hard to believe that this team has been hovering all the way to the edge of the relegation zone.

But everyone also noticed a phenomenon, that is, Chen Yingxiong's goals began to decrease.

When he just came back, he scored ten goals in three games.

In recent league rounds, he has scored few goals.

In the last five league rounds, he scored twice twice and scored only one goal in the other three games. For Chen Yingxiong, only one goal is scored in a game, it can be regarded as a poor state.

You must know that he used to score two goals, three goals, and four goals.

In the competition for the top scorer in the league, Manchester United's Nacho has now scored 27 goals.

Lead Chen Yingxiong by eleven goals.

This is the season that Nacho has scored the most goals in his career. Following Chen Yingxiong's pursuit, he also broke out in a small universe.

Chen Yingxiong's goal speed slowed down. And his rival broke out in a small universe. Maybe this season's top scorer in the league is not necessarily Chen Yingxiong.

Those opponents can be regarded as finding a life-saving straw, and they announced that after Chen Yingxiong's comeback, they have relied on that tone to fill up to the present, and that tone has now vented. His performance naturally began to worsen one after another.

This is the case in the league. This is certainly true in the Champions League.

But within Liverpool fans, the minority is no longer able to resurrect.

They are the people who know Chen Yingxiong best. After some twists and turns, now they are also the people who trust Chen Yingxiong the most.

Got fewer goals in five games?

Scored twice in two games and scored a goal in each of the three games. That's seven goals. On average, I scored more than one per game. Is this still in bad condition?

The media are just talking nonsense with their eyes open! They are jealous! They simply ignore the age of the hero. A forty-year-old guy who can score seven goals in five games shouldn’t be considered a problem with his state no matter where he puts it.

Therefore, the Liverpool fan camp has the same hatred of the media who talks nonsense.

※※※

Chen Yingxiong did not respond to those voices in the media.

He is not at all worried about the fact that Nacho is still eleven goals behind.

There are still ten rounds in the league. According to his scoring rate, he is confident to surpass Nacho.

His fewer goals are not because of his decline, but because of his playing time. Although he started in the last two league games, he only played for fifty minutes.

This is to save more energy in the Champions League.

His physical fitness is indeed not good now, but it has little to do with his age. As I said before, the 40-year-old Chen Yingxiong's physical fitness has declined compared with his own before. Compared with other people, his physical fitness is still good.

The reason for his poor physical fitness this season is that he hadn't played for nine months before. Because of the lack of regular games to exercise and accumulate, there was a problem with his physical reserve.

The key is that the rhythm is not found.

He believes that if he can start playing from the first game of the league, he doesn't need to rest like this until now.

In the second round of the next Champions League quarter-finals, Chen Yingxiong played the whole game.

At the Meazza Stadium, Liverpool led by Chen Yingxiong tied with Inter Milan with a score of 2:2.

The reason for the tie was that Gerrard replaced half of the main players in this game.

Chen Yingxiong scored two goals from the team in the game, increasing his goals in the Champions League to five, and his ranking in the Champions League shooter list jumped from tenth to fifth.

Although not defeated Inter Milan in the away game. But Liverpool still eliminated their opponents with a score of 6:2. Advance to the quarterfinals.

Stella Maggioni is very satisfied with the team's performance. Although he was not able to stage a miracle of reversal, he was very pleased with what the team showed in the second round. He saw the hope of a comeback for this team next season.

Of course. Out of his dark and cautious thoughts, he duplied at the press conference after the game that he was very sorry for not being able to complete the reversal. He thinks his team is stronger, and it stands to reason that he should be able to advance. But the team's pride and underestimation of the enemy in the first round produced bitter results... He revisited the past. I just hope that others think that Liverpool are not as strong as Inter Milan, and that they can advance because they underestimated the enemy in the first round. If you do not underestimate the enemy, you can still defeat them.

But actually?

Stella Maggioni confirmed one thing even more through this second round of the game, that is, even if those giants do not underestimate the enemy, they will lose to Liverpool!

Liverpool, who has rotated half of the main players, can still draw against the all-main players Inter Milan in the away game, which shows that Liverpool rely on more than just a Chen hero. You know, the morale of this Inter Milan is actually very high. Because he told the players before the game that even if he loses the Champions League this season, he must create a bright future for the future. Therefore, Inter Milan, who is ashamed and brave, played very seriously and desperately.

I didn't expect this. Liverpool are able to draw against them, and their overall strength is evident.

Stella Maggioni is now looking forward to the **** expressions of those giants after they meet Liverpool.

※※※

Promoting to the quarterfinals is not worth celebrating for Liverpool.

Because even in the six seasons when Liverpool failed to win the championship. They also failed to advance to the quarterfinals only twice.

With their strength. They are regulars in the quarterfinals, which is quite normal.

So after finishing the Italian game. Liverpool returned to England in a low-key manner to continue training.

No one hyped up their achievements.

The Liverpool players are very clear about their mission this season, they want to win the championship on both fronts. But others don't know it. This gives them a sense of pride. They are especially motivated when they think of the surprised eyes of the world when they do.

This is a kind of "you all look down on us, then wait to be slapped in the face by us".

After all eight quarter-finals were released, UEFA conducted a group draw.

Liverpool were drawn together with Manchester United, and the England national derby will be staged in the Champions League.

This is also a direct dialogue between Chen Yingxiong and Nacho, the top scorers of their respective teams.

Although Nacho leads Chen Yingxiong by 11 goals in the Premier League, he can't lead so many goals in the Champions League. He has only scored six goals in the Champions League this season, only one goal ahead of Chen Yingxiong.

Just above Chen Yingxiong, is the subject of Chen Yingxiong's explosion.

In the Premier League, Nacho is the ultimate goal of Chen Yingxiong to defeat. In the Champions League, he became Chen Yingxiong's short-term goal.

Liverpool and Manchester United do not often meet in the Champions League. After Chen Yingxiong came, this time is not counted. The two teams have only met twice in the Champions League, once in the same quarter as this time. The finals were once in the semifinals.

But for Manchester United, these two encounters are tragedies. Because at that time, when Liverpool was in full swing, they not only suppressed Manchester United in the domestic league, but the two encounters in the Champions League also brutally suppressed Manchester United's rebellion.

Manchester United did not have the power to fight back at all and was eliminated cleanly by Liverpool on both occasions.

In the six seasons in which Liverpool no longer monopolizes the Champions League, Manchester United has also won the Champions League once, which fully reflects their wealth of wealth.

The encounter between the two teams is full of expectations.

The contest between Chen Yingxiong and Nacho, two outstanding shooters, one old and one young, is also very interesting.
