When Chen Yingxiong appeared at the reserve team training ground again, he raised his hand to greet everyone: "Time flies so fast, we meet again, guys!"
He got cheers from the reserve players.
Chen Yingxiong has long become the biggest idol and role model in the minds of these young people.
Everyone supports and likes him from the bottom of their hearts.
In addition to his tyrannical strength, his character is also a reason. Although the media say that Chen Yingxiong is not an easy person to get along with, that is only a one-sided view of the media, because Chen Yingxiong rarely has a good face in front of the media. Chen Yingxiong is not a difficult person to get along with, it's just that he doesn't get along well with the media.
In front of his teammates, Chen Yingxiong never puts on airs. Even if they are players from the reserve team and youth team who are not as good as him, he is very enthusiastic and cheerful.
In addition to coming to the reserve team to train with the team, he also brought a piece of news.
"After playing two League Cup semi-finals and reaching the final, I'm going to treat you all to a barbecue at my house!"
This invitation was simply flattering to the reserve team players. They couldn't believe their ears, so much so that they were stunned for a moment after hearing what Chen Yingxiong said, thinking they heard wrongly.
The star of the first team, currently the best shooter in the world, actually invited unknown people like them from the reserve team to his home?
Such a thing...who has heard of it before?
Not only in Liverpool, but also in other teams, the first-team players are afraid that in front of the reserve team players who are not as good as them, who doesn't have their eyes high? Not to mention the players who have been famous for a long time, even those players who have just entered the first team probably feel that they are one level above the reserve team.
This is a class concept from the heart.
It is a deep-rooted impression that has been formed for a long time - until now, in many Premier League clubs, youth team players are also responsible for polishing the shoes of first-team players and tidying up the wardrobes. And if the players of the first team are not satisfied with these people. It can be scolded, but go back twenty years. You can also fight with your hands.
Just like the Chinese master-disciple relationship.
When a master beats his apprentice, that's love. That's what Master Fang should do. No matter how the master treats his apprentice, the apprentice himself must never feel resentful and neglect the master.
But Chen Yingxiong didn't do this. He just feels that since we are teammates on the same team, we are brothers in the trenches. What rules do you have for your own people?
So he's always very enthusiastic about his teammates.
This kind of enthusiasm is seen by other players as "Chen Yingxiong has no airs at all and is approachable. He is an idol that we all like."
What does Chen Yingxiong want? Do other people still dare not to work hard?
※※※
In the game against Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool's tactics were as always - defend and counterattack.
In fact, opponents of Liverpool's reserve team now know that this is Liverpool's tactics. There is no secret at all, and it has been thoroughly studied long ago.
But studying it thoroughly doesn't mean you can win.
Because they have an unsolvable Chen Yingxiong.
The defensive counterattack of Liverpool's reserve team is nothing to study, but it is Chen Yingxiong. They couldn't figure out how to deal with him - that was the key.
The reserve team is just green leaves, Chen Yingxiong is the red flower...
Tottenham, who had not figured out how to deal with Chen Yingxiong, could only rely on their meager home court advantage.
In fact, they all know that this is most likely unreliable.
But except this. Can they come up with other means?
I can’t take it out!
※※※
In fact, Tottenham Hotspur players are indeed working hard enough.
They performed very well in this game and scored two goals in total.
It is a pity that the Liverpool reserve team is equally good, relying on Chen Yingxiong's two goals.
The two sides played to a 2:2 draw at White Hart Lane.
It stands to reason that Tottenham should be satisfied with being able to draw with Liverpool. After all, their mortal enemy Arsenal did not do as well as them.
But at this time, the people at Tottenham couldn't help laughing.
He failed to win against Liverpool at his own home court and went to the opponent's home court... He was really just meat on the chopping board...
They didn't expect that they were tenacious, but the Liverpool reserve team was even more tenacious than them!
Obviously, this team does not rely on Chen Yingxiong. They have been able to reach this point because every reserve team player works hard and desperately!
This is a very difficult opponent to deal with, and it is an opponent that all the top teams in the Premier League must take seriously.
Tottenham coach McClaren looked sullen after the game.
He also knows that there is little chance of a League One marching into Wembley Stadium.
Although it was a draw, it was tantamount to a defeat for Tottenham. Liverpool's players could leave with their heads held high.
※※※
After the League Cup, Chen Yingxiong did not return to the first team, but continued to stay in the reserve team.
Anyway, it doesn't matter that the first team doesn't have Chen Yingxiong for the time being. They and Chen Yingxiong have been running in together for so many seasons. They are already familiar with each other and there is no need to get tired of running in together every day.
In the days without Chen Yingxiong, the first team can also practice the team's various responses in the absence of Chen Yingxiong. After all, although Chen Yingxiong has never missed a game due to injury or physical reasons, his temper still makes everyone a little worried. If this powder keg is ignited, it will be over. Everyone knows how Dalglish ended get out of class. Although the fundamental reason is his poor coaching ability, if Chen Yingxiong hadn't been suspended for six games, how could the club have found an excuse to move this "king" who is well-known throughout the club?
Chen Yingxiong did not receive a single red card or suspension last season. This is his progress. It shows that as he grows older, he has indeed matured. But who knows when his kid's brain will cramp again?
As a coaching staff, we must not wait for problems to arise before solving them, but should make contingency plans before problems arise.
Consider all possible situations, then come up with a solution, and then practice ☆ Finally, when the team really encounters such a problem in the game, it will know how to deal with it, so that it will not feel unsure about its feet. Weak.
Chen Yingxiong went to the reserve team, which just gave the first team such an opportunity.
During this period, the first team's training was all about what the team should do if Chen Yingxiong was not present. Including how to attack and how to defend. Because Chen Yingxiong is no longer there, the team's offensive routine will also change. It is impossible to copy the previous practice. Suarez and Chen Yingxiong have completely different styles.
The first team is training intensively, and the training of the reserve team is even more difficult.
After Chen Yingxiong himself participated, everyone's training intensity increased, but no one complained. They were even more energetic than before.
Because no one wants to be a coward to Chen Yingxiong and let him look down on him.
Everyone is working so hard, but what they are preparing for is not the FA Cup match against Bolton, nor the second leg of the League Cup semi-final against Tottenham Hotspur.
What they are preparing for is... a decisive battle!
Whether it is the League Cup or the FA Cup, their goal is the final.
In order to improve their own strength and give Chen Yingxiong more support in the finals, they have already gone all out!
Even Clark was surprised by the hard work of these reserve players. He has never seen the players in the reserve team have such fighting spirit and hard work. Even though he has seen many changes brought by Chen Yingxiong to the reserve team, he is still surprised by it.
Is such a team really a reserve team?
I'm afraid if they form a team to participate in the Premier League, they can avoid relegation, right?
※※※
The morale is so high, with Chen Yingxiong sitting in charge, and still at their home court, what else do the Liverpool reserve team have to fear?
Moreover, their opponent Bolton did not send out all the main players. They were even close to some of their strength and used a substitute lineup plus a few main players.
Those two games between Liverpool’s reserves and Arsenal really advertised them.
Now everyone knows that the Liverpool reserve team is not easy to chew. Some teams, those who are not so eager to win the FA Cup, simply regard the FA Cup as useless. If they encounter the Liverpool reserve team, they simply give up in advance.
Just like Bolton.
If they don't feel disgraced, they might be able to directly send the reserve team to participate and play a "Reserve FA Cup" with the Liverpool reserve team.
This also virtually gave Liverpool's reserve team a relaxed environment.
In the match against Bolton, the Liverpool reserve team did not encounter stubborn resistance. They defeated Bolton 3:1 at their home court and advanced to the sixth round of the FA Cup.
Winning is very easy, a bit "without bloodshed".
But the Liverpool reserve team was not happy after winning.
Now they are a bit jealous. They wanted to compete with Bolton, but Bolton is also a Premier League team.
Unexpectedly, Bolton surrendered in advance!
It's as if a person has gathered enough strength and rounded his arms to slap the opponent with a big ear. As soon as he raised his arms, the opponent suddenly fell to his knees like a mountain of gold and a jade pillar, and he knelt down and shouted, "Hero, spare your life!" . Are you still embarrassed to fight?
This feeling of being unable to exert your strength is as depressing as it gets.
So the Liverpool reserve team didn't appreciate it at all.
But they can't hold it in for too long, and they won't develop prostatitis.
Because it's the second leg of the League Cup semi-finals soon. They will face Tottenham Hotspur at home. The first leg ended in a draw. The second round is the decisive battle to decide who can go to Wembley in the end!
They want to vent all their anger in this game!
