Wednesday, October 26th. Liverpool faces Stoke City away from home in the fourth round of the English League Cup this season.

If Liverpool can defeat Stoke City, they will advance to the quarter-finals and be one step closer to the final.

Accumulation like the League Cup may not be appreciated by many wealthy clubs. More often than not, they will send a mix of youth team or reserve team players to participate. For them, the League Cup mainly serves as a training team, allowing players who have difficulty playing in the first team to get opportunities to play and maintain their condition.

But for Liverpool, it's different.

Whether it is Houllier, Benitez, or today's Kenny Dalglish, every Liverpool head coach attaches great importance to this event.

Because they have never won a championship in the league, they can only rely on winning competitions such as the League Cup to boost morale - Liverpool under Houllier won five championships that year, and they were known as the Five Champions League that year. To be crowned king means to be quite proud of.

However, in the eyes of many people, except for the FA Cup and the UEFA Cup, these championships are just a make-up. Even the Community Shield Cup is included as a championship, which shows how embarrassed Liverpool is.

This is like Manchester United saying that they are the Triple Crown winners. If someone else asks which triple crown it is, the result is the Triple Crown of "Social Shield Cup, League Cup and FA Cup". It is simply laughable—— A wealthy team actually wants to use these worthless cup championships to make up for the loss.

Liverpool is really helpless in doing this, because they always lack a championship that is worthy of success. After all, the morale of the five-time champion still had a UEFA Cup. It was not until the summer of 2005 that they reversed AC Milan and won the Champions League trophy for the fifth time in history. Since then, there hasn't been a champion.

As mentioned before, what the temperament and heritage of a wealthy family rely on is the accumulation of championships and honors. Six years of championships is very dangerous for a wealthy team, which means that the team may fall out of the ranks of the wealthy at any time.

As long as there is a championship, it can occupy the media again, attract people's attention, and at the same time maintain the players' confidence in the team and maintain the team's competitiveness. Lest the team fall into a vicious cycle of "without a championship, it cannot attract top players and retain its own outstanding players; if it cannot attract top players and retain its own outstanding players, it will not have a championship".

Although the League Cup is useless, the winner is eligible to participate in the European Football League, which was the former UEFA Cup. It is also a genuine qualification for the European competition.

Rich rivals do not pay attention to the League Cup, which gives Dalglish an opportunity to take advantage of it, because the competitiveness of this competition will inevitably decrease and it will not be as fiercely competitive as the league. If they can win the League Cup, they will not only end their embarrassing record of six years without a championship, but also qualify for a European competition next season. Let’s not talk about qualifying for the Champions League for the top four in the league, which is still too far away at the moment. The League Cup final will be held at the end of February next year, which will take a short time and produce quick results. Once he has won this championship and qualified for the European competition, he can also secure his precarious coaching position. It is really a good thing to kill multiple birds with one stone.

Therefore, Dalglish fielded the strongest lineup he could for two consecutive rounds of the League Cup.

Chen Yingxiong, who had previously gone to Italy to date his girlfriend, also continued to appear in the starting lineup, which surprised some people.

※ ※ ※

People who found it surprising thought that Chen Yingxiong was traveling so much that he was physically exhausted, so he would sit on the bench and wait until the second half to decide whether to play or not.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yingxiong started the game.

Suarez already knew that Chen Yingxiong would start, because boss Dalglish had already announced the starting list internally last night.

Chen Yingxiong and he were both on the list.

After Chen Yingxiong came back, Suarez was very concerned and gossipy about how Chen Yingxiong and his girlfriend were doing. It seemed that he really cared about Chen Yingxiong's happiness. In fact, he just wanted to know more details to analyze the situation. Whether Chen Yingxiong was affected or not.

When he heard that Chen Yingxiong and Cabrera kept going shopping and playing in various places to avoid being tracked by the paparazzi, he felt that this trip to Milan should have had a certain impact on Chen Yingxiong's state.

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

Chen Yingxiong started the game, and 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 expected, which was a bit dull.

Stoke City, playing at home, took the lead in the 44th minute when Togolese fast horse Kenwyne Jones scored the first goal.

During the half-time break, Dalglish gave Chen Yingxiong a beating and told him that he was waiting for a good show.

Suarez snickered in his heart when he heard that Chen Yingxiong was criticized by his boss.

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

He feels more and more how perfect his original plan was... Strongly supporting and encouraging Chen Yingxiong to do trapeze to pick up girls will have a lasting impact on Chen Yingxiong's state, and the media's repeated criticism of him will also affect the head coach. Dalglish's opinion of him: If things go on like this, Chen Yingxiong will definitely gradually fade out of the main lineup due to various reasons. By then we won’t even be able to guarantee the main lineup, let alone the core...

At that time, you can take back your own offensive core!

What a brilliant idea! 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 look at it, in the last league game, Suarez didn't pass the ball, had to do it by himself, and messed up. As a result, the team failed to win against Norwich at home. After the game, Dalglish was so scolded that he didn't dare to talk back. This game immediately went down honestly, when it was time to shoot, when it was time to pass, there was no ambiguity.

※ ※ ※

But 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 the pass from Suarez in the penalty area and he hit the ball in!"

"Beautiful goal. Suarez passed the ball directly after opening a gap on the wing. It was a low ball. Chen Yingxiong quickly appeared in the right position, and then he shot! The ball went in cleanly. !”

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

After Chen Yingxiong scored a goal, he hugged Suarez as usual. Suarez was also very depressed as usual - I didn't want to assist him! He was good at heading the ball when he passed the high ball before. This time I passed the ground ball, how could he still hit the football?

He didn't know that Chen Yingxiong had practiced running without the ball with Inzaghi! It is no longer difficult for him to find gaps in the dense crowd.

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

This is for the reporters in the media gallery to see.

They said before the game that they could not maintain their form, criticized themselves for having no professional ethics, and blatantly interfered with their private lives. Now Chen Yingxiong asked these people to shut up with a goal.

After six minutes, he felt that a goal seemed unconvincing. It is not surprising that those who rely solely on words and pens to make a living can say that a goal is luck.

So he scored another goal.

This time it was not Suarez who assisted, but he himself grabbed the ball in the frontcourt and shot directly from a long distance. The football suddenly fell to the ground in front of goalkeeper Sorensen, bounced a little, and when it jumped up again, its direction changed slightly. Sorenso had already fallen to the ground to save the ball, with no center of gravity. He had no time to make a second save and could only watch. The football passed over him and flew into the goal...

※ ※ ※

"Oh my god! The hero scored twice!"

"Beautiful! Beautiful! Nice long shot!"

"Liverpool completed the comeback! Two goals from the hero helped them take the lead!"

The commentators were all climaxing.

As for Chen Yingxiong, this time he simply ran under the stands where the media box was located, pointed at them with his left hand, and made a shut-up gesture with his right hand. It was obvious that he was getting up close and slapped in the face!

After slapping the reporters in the face, Chen Yingxiong turned around to greet the swarming teammates.

The Liverpool fans in the stands who followed the team on their training courses were already in jubilation...

Dalglish stood on the sidelines with his arms raised, cheering for Chen Yingxiong's goal. Although it is the League Cup, Liverpool and Dalglish are not qualified to underestimate 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 quarterfinals.

Liverpool are one step closer to the League Cup final.

All Liverpool people cheered heartily for Chen Yingxiong’s two goals, except Suarez...

※ ※ ※

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

Chen Yingxiong's sudden outburst made many journalists in England feel a little different. They seemed to be ill-prepared. However, for those Chinese reporters who followed him from Russia to Italy, and then from Italy to England, this was the normal Chen Yingxiong. It couldn’t be more normal!
