Chapter 131: Compare your feelings to yourselves (Second update, please vote for me)

Chen Yingxiong went to Martin O'Neill so early to discuss the FA Cup semi-finals, mainly because he actually knew that if he waited until the day before the game to practice with the reserve team as before, he would not be able to practice with the reserve team. Defeating Tottenham Hotspur is probably really rare. ""

He still needs the support of the team. He can play the savior on his own sometimes, but he cannot play the savior anytime and anywhere.

Therefore, after confirming this matter with O'Neal in advance, O'Neal can arrange corresponding training. Of course, O'Neal cannot let Chen Yingxiong train with the reserve team all day long.

As long as he still increases the training intensity of the reserve team and keeps it consistent with the first team, then he will arrange an intra-team training match every week so that the reserve team can come and play against the first team.

At this time, Chen Yingxiong will be grouped with the reserve team and become the opponent of the first team.

When the reserve team players came to participate in this training match for the first time, they found that Chen Yingxiong was wearing a vest of the same color as them, ran up to them, and greeted them with a smile.

Everyone was surprised.

It is nothing new for the reserve team to provide training for the first team.

So when we came here before, no one thought much about it.

But when they found that Chen Yingxiong was wearing a vest of the same color as them and joined their team, they suddenly thought of something.

Before that, they once played against the first team, and it was like this. On the second day of that game, they participated in the League Cup with Chen Yingxiong!

Could it be...

Chen Yingxiong waved at them and then smiled: "I said I wanted everyone to participate in the semi-finals together. Do you think I'm kidding?"

A group of people were stunned for a moment, and then they realized - this is true! They really want to go to the FA Cup semi-finals with Chen Yingxiong!

Simply incredible!

Hero, he really convinced the boss?

He is simply a god! Can this be done? !

There are still more than half a month left before the semi-finals, so they are now being arranged to practice together. It is obviously because the team has to prepare for the semi-finals, otherwise they will have nothing to do!

The reserve team players let out a burst of cheers. (《》)

Hearing these cheers and looking at the reserve team players happily surrounding Chen Yingxiong, the first team players shook their heads - they could not understand the mood of the reserve team players at this moment.

Head coach Martin O'Neal was standing on the sidelines with his hands folded across his chest. Seeing this scene, he thought of Chen Yingxiong's series of rhetorical questions.

"Why let them contribute when we are fighting hard, and then it is our turn to play when it is time to pick up the fruits of victory? They have been in charge of this event from the beginning, why do we have to replace them in the end? Can't you see the deep love in their hearts? Are you disgusted with this decision? The honor of the League Cup should obviously belong to them, but they were not present in either the award ceremony or the celebration ceremony... They have been forgotten by all of us. Is this normal? The same thing Do members of the Liverpool Football Club deserve to be treated unfairly just because they are in the reserve team?"

Emotionally speaking, maybe Chen Yingxiong is right.

But reason kept telling Martin O'Neill that he thought Chen Yingxiong's approach was very risky, and the outcome might not be as good as he imagined.

O'Neal has passed the age of being full of idealistic passion. He knows that in many cases this idealism is impossible to succeed.

It is impossible for him to let Chen Yingxiong train with the reserve team, although it can increase the training intensity of the reserve team and ask them like the first team. ""But what should Chen Yingxiong do? It is impossible for him to train with the reserve team players, develop a tacit understanding, and practice various tactics... What results can be achieved by just relying on one practice match a week?

He didn't believe that just playing a few training games together and using games as training would allow Chen Yingxiong to fully integrate into the team.

How useless is the FA Cup? By the semi-finals, both participating parties have become serious. A Tottenham Hotspur who went all out met a Liverpool who played with a reserve team. What was the result? O'Neill felt that he didn't need it. Think about it...

But looking at the excited reserve team players and Chen Yingxiong in front of him, he couldn't dampen their enthusiasm... so he had to stay silent.

※※※

In fact, not only Martin O'Neill, but most of the coaches on the Liverpool coaching staff are worried about this issue. Chen Yingxiong's training time with the reserve team is too short. What's the point of relying on team training matches once a week?

No one believed that Chen Yingxiong could integrate into the reserve team with such a short training time. This was a wrong decision from the beginning.

But Martin O'Neill didn't object, so naturally the others wouldn't speak out.

After this training match, the first team players also knew the coach's plan - it seems that these reserve team players will also participate in the semi-finals?

They were shocked!

Just relying on this group of people to participate in the semi-finals, isn't this looking for death?

After the training, when they returned to the first team's locker room, everyone surrounded Chen Yingxiong, wanting to get a definite answer from Chen Yingxiong.

"Hero? You're not really going to participate in the semifinals with the reserve team, are you?" Sanchez asked with concern.

Others also rushed up, intending to listen to what Chen Yingxiong had to say.

Chen Yingxiong nodded: "Yes."

Everyone was shocked: "What does the boss think...Why would he allow the reserve team to participate in such an important game?"

Unexpectedly, what Chen Yingxiong said next surprised them even more.

"I brought this up, guys."

The locker room, which had been noisy before, suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at Chen Yingxiong like a monster.

"Uh, what's wrong?" Chen Yingxiong touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Are you crazy, hero?!" Skrtel yelled.

"That's right, how could you have such an idea, hero?"

"Do you know the difficulty? Heroes? Compared with Tottenham players, the guys in the reserve team are just a bunch of weak lambs!"

Chen Yingxiong continued: "But I heard that a flock of sheep led by a lion can kill a group of lions led by a sheep."

The doubts in the locker room subsided a little. Chen Yingxiong continued: "It was my idea to let the reserve team participate in the semi-finals. My idea is actually very simple. I think our first team is absolutely perfect in the FA Cup anyway." Most of the players have never participated in it from the beginning. Why should we snatch their opportunity in the semi-finals? For us, one more FA Cup game is nothing at all. Many people don’t even want to play. , because it’s not interesting and it’s a waste of energy. But for the reserve team, this is a rare opportunity to show themselves in front of the public. We don’t need chicken ribs, but they treat them as treasures. I thought, we shouldn’t be like this To deprive them of the opportunity. They put in the sweat and hard work only to have us get caught in the stands when it matters most. It's like a League Cup semi-final, is that normal? It was the reserve lads who put us up there to receive the trophy. Taiwan, but in the end we won consecutive victories without thanking them... Is this normal?"

Faced with Chen Yingxiong's counter-question, many people lowered their heads, not knowing how to answer.

Comparing one's feelings with one's own, it's really unethical to do this. People worked so hard, but in the end they didn't even thank me for winning, so they robbed me of the opportunity.

"When we were on the podium to accept the gold medal and the trophy, they had nothing. They were not eligible for the gold medal just because... they missed two games, but they actually played better than us. Even more. Logically speaking, we are not qualified to win medals. I know that no one is willing to waste their energy in such an insignificant competition, but they are left to do the hard work and enjoy the cheers in the end. It's us. Anyway, I feel embarrassed. That's why I want to give them a compensation, that is, let them participate in the semi-finals of the FA Cup. If they can reach the final, I also want them to participate in the final! I played football before Who is in the Finals, and who is in the future. I'm sorry, guys, I didn't count you this time, but I think we should be insignificant for the absentees for one or two games, but for them, this These are two very, very important games. I'm sorry that I didn't tell you about this in advance..."

After Chen Yingxiong spoke very sincerely, the locker room fell into silence for a while.

In the end, it was Gerrard who broke the silence. He stood up and expressed support for Chen Yingxiong: "I support the hero's approach. The reserve team is also a member of our entire team. The players in the reserve team are also Liverpool players. There should be no distinction. Treat. They should enjoy everything we enjoy. I won’t compete with them for this opportunity anyway.”

Gerrard was trained in the Liverpool youth academy, and he has also experienced the days of playing in the reserve team, so he can especially understand what Chen Yingxiong said.

Now that the team's captain, spiritual leader, and flag-bearer have all stood up to speak for the reserve team, what else can others say?

Naturally, it was passed unanimously, without any objection.

However, concerns were expressed about the reserve team's trip to the semi-finals.

"Hero, you train with us every day, and it's impossible for you to go to the reserve team to participate in training. How do you integrate with the team and conduct joint training? Do you just rely on the surprise training the day before the game and a training match like today? ?”

Faced with such questions, Chen Yingxiong smiled slightly: "I have participated in the League Cup and FA Cup with them for two seasons. We already have a tacit understanding!"
