October 26th, Wednesday. Liverpool challenged Stoke City away, this is the fourth round of the English League Cup this season.

If Liverpool can beat Stoke, they will enter the quarterfinals, one step further from the final.

The accumulation of the League Cup may not be eye-catching among many giants, and more often they will send youth teams or reserve team players to participate in the competition. For them, the League Cup is mainly a training team, allowing those players who are difficult to play in the first team to get the opportunity to play and maintain their state.

But for Liverpool, it's different.

Whether it's Hollier, Benitez, or Kenny Dalglish today, every Liverpool coach values ​​this event.

Because they have never won the championship in the league, they can only rely on winning in the League Cup to boost their morale. Back then, Liverpool under Houllier won five championships, known as the five of that year. The crown king is quite proud of it.

However, in the eyes of many people, these champions, except for the FA Cup and UEFA Cup, are all rounded up. Even the Community Shield Cup has been counted as a championship, which shows how embarrassed Liverpool has actually been.

This is like Manchester United saying that they are the treble champion. If others think it is the triple crown, the result is the "Community Shield, League Cup and FA Cup" triple crown. It is just like making people laugh out of their teeth—— A dignified and powerful team has to make up the number of these insignificant chicken rib cup championships.

Liverpool is really helpless in doing so, because they have always lacked a champion that can be decisive and weighty. The morale of the five-time champions still has a UEFA Cup. It was not until the summer of 2005 that AC Milan was reversed and won the Champions League trophy for the fifth time in history. Since then, there has never been a champion.

As mentioned earlier, what the rich temperament and heritage depend on is the accumulation of championships and honors. Six years of championships, this is very dangerous for a giant team, which means that the team may get out of the ranks of giants at any time.

As long as there is a championship, it can re-occupy the media and attract people's attention, while maintaining the confidence of players in the team and maintaining the competitiveness of the team. Lest the team fall into the vicious circle of “it cannot attract top players without a championship, nor can it retain its own outstanding players, nor can it attract top players nor retain its own outstanding players, there will be no champions.

Although the League Cup is tasteless, the champion is eligible to participate in the Europa League, which is the previous UEFA Cup, which is also a genuine European qualification.

The giant opponents do not pay attention to the League Cup, which instead gives Dalglish an opportunity, because the competitiveness of this event will inevitably decline, and it will not be as fierce as the league. If you can win the League Cup, you can not only end the embarrassing record of six years without a championship in your own hands, but you can also qualify for a European competition next season. Let alone qualify for the Champions League in the top four of the league, it is still too far away. The League Cup final will be held at the end of February next year. It takes a short time and has quick results. Once you get the championship and the European qualifications, you can fix your precariously handsome position, which is really good in one fell swoop.

Therefore, Dalglish has sent the strongest lineup he can send for two consecutive rounds of the League Cup.

Chen Yingxiong, who also went to Italy to date his girlfriend before, also continued to appear in the starting list, which surprised some people.

※※※

Anyone who feels surprised thinks that hero Chen will be on the bench with too much physical exertion on the journey, and will wait until the second half to see the situation before deciding whether to play.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yingxiong made his debut.

Suarez has long known that Chen Yingxiong will start, because the boss Dalglish has already announced the starting list last night.

Both Chen Yingxiong and him were in the list.

After Chen Yingxiong came back, Suarez was still very concerned and gossiping to ask how Chen Yingxiong was playing with his girlfriend. It seemed that he really cared about Chen Yingxiong’s happiness. In fact, he just wanted to know more details in order to analyze it. Has Chen Yingxiong been affected?

When he heard that Chen Yingxiong and Cabrera were constantly shopping, playing around and avoiding the paparazzi, he felt that this trip to Milan should have a certain impact on Chen Yingxiong's state.

Shopping and avoiding paparazzi are all things that consume energy and energy! For men, the most terrifying thing is to go shopping with women, and for public figures, the most troublesome thing is that they can meet reporters no matter where they are...

Chen Yingxiong made his debut, he was very happy, he had the opportunity to see how Chen Yingxiong got into trouble!

Chen Yingxiong's performance in the first half seemed to confirm what Suarez was expecting, and it was a little flat.

Stoke City played at home in the forty-fourth minute. Kenwyne Jones (kenwyne_jones) took the lead.

During the intermission, Dalglish beat Chen Yingxiong and told him that he was waiting for a good show.

Suarez snickered when he heard Chen Yingxiong was criticized by the boss.

Let you go on a date! Let you be a trapeze!

He felt more and more that his original plan was perfect...Strongly supporting and encouraging Chen Yingxiong to be a trapeze to pick up girls will have a lasting impact on Chen Yingxiong’s state, and the media’s endless criticism of him will definitely affect the head coach. Dalglish's view of him, if things go on like this, Chen Yingxiong will definitely fade out of the main lineup due to various reasons. At that time, even the main lineup will not be guaranteed, let alone the core...

At that time, you can regain your own offensive core!

What a trick! a ha ha ha!

Suarez laughed loudly in his heart again.

Other Liverpool teammates are also worried about Chen Yingxiong. It is not a good thing to be criticized by the boss.

Or you see, in the last league game, Suarez didn't pass the ball and had to come by himself and play around. The result was messed up and the team didn't win Norwich at home. After the game, the dog scolded by Dalglish did not dare to talk back. The game was immediately honest, the shot should be shot, the pass should be passed, and it was absolutely unambiguous.

※※※

However, what Chen Yingxiong is best at is surprising and unexpected...

Less than ten minutes into the second half, Chen Yingxiong scored his second goal in the League Cup!

"Hero! Hero! He received a pass from Suarez in the penalty area and he scored the football!"

"A beautiful goal. Suarez passed the ball directly after swaying the gap on the wing. It was a low kick. Chen Yingxiong quickly appeared in the right position and shot with his foot! The goal was clean and neat. !"

"The hero finally scored a goal! Before the game, the media were saying that he would consume energy and affect the state of the game if he went to Milan, Italy... Now, there is no more powerful counterattack than a goal!"

After scoring a goal, Chen Yingxiong went to hug Suarez first as usual. Suarez is also very depressed as usual-I didn't want to assist him! Before passing high balls, he is good at headers. I pass a grounding ball this time, how can he still score football!

He didn't know that Yingxiong Chen had practiced running without the ball following Inzaghi! Finding an open space in a dense crowd is no longer a difficult task for him.

After embracing Suarez strongly, Chen Yingxiong let go of the Uruguayan who was almost out of breath, then placed his right index finger on the edge of his lips and made a "shut up" gesture.

This is what the reporters in the media gallery watched.

Before the game, they said that they could not maintain their state, criticized their lack of professional ethics, and blatantly interfered in their private lives. Chen Yingxiong now uses a goal to ask these people to shut up.

Six minutes later, he felt that a goal seemed to lack persuasiveness. It is not surprising that those who relied on their mouth and pen to eat can say that a goal is luck.

So he scored another goal.

This time it was not Suarez who assisted, but he shot the ball directly from the frontcourt. The football suddenly fell to the ground in front of goalkeeper Sorensen and bounced. When he jumped up again, the direction changed slightly, and Sorenzo had already fallen to the ground and had no center of gravity. It was too late to make a second save and could only watch. The football passed over him, and then flew into the goal...

※※※

"Oh my God! The hero scored twice!"

"Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful long shot!"

"Liverpool has completed the reversal! The hero's two goals helped them take the lead!"

The narrators climaxed one after another.

As for Chen Yingxiong, this time he simply ran under the stand where the media booth was, pointed at them with his left hand and gestured to shut up with his right hand. This is very obvious, this is to get to the front and face to face!

After drawing the faces of the reporters, Chen Yingxiong turned to greet the teammates swarming.

The Liverpool fans in the stands who followed the team's course are already in jubilation...

Dalglish stood on the sidelines with his arms raised, cheering for Chen Yingxiong's goal. Although it is the League Cup, for Liverpool and Dalglish, they are not eligible to despise this cup.

Chen Yingxiong's two goals can help Liverpool win. Of course they are happy.

After this game is over, it will be the quarterfinals and the quarterfinals.

Liverpool are one step closer to the League Cup final.

All Liverpool people cheered heartily for Chen Yingxiong’s double score, except for Suarez...

※※※

In the end, relying on Chen Yingxiong's unexpected brace, Liverpool defeated Stoke City in a 2:1 away game and took another solid step towards their goal.

The sudden outbreak of Chen Yingxiong made many English reporters somewhat different. They seemed to be under-prepared, but for those Chinese journalists who traveled from Russia to Italy and from Italy to England, this is a normal Chen Yingxiong. It's almost normal and can't be normal anymore!
