Chapter 1447 Problems facing the legend of the reserve team (Second update on guarantee)
The second season of the Liverpool reserve team saga kicked off with a game against Reading.

Reading was relegated from the Premier League to the English Championship in the 2012-2013 season. After that, it has been ups and downs in the English Championship for several years. It has not been relegated, but it has not been able to return to the Premier League.

Although Reading changed the head coach and changed players one after another, no matter how they were changed, the style of this team has not changed.Still tough, the traditional British style of play makes the team's skills and tactics look rough, but it is relatively easy to mix in low-level leagues.

The British Championship is the most physical fitness, and only those with excellent physical fitness can survive here.

In the Premier League, Reading's style was very tough. They once had a record of abolishing two Chelsea goalkeepers in a game, which shows how brutal they are.

Now in the British Championship, a place that pays attention to physical fitness, they are even more comfortable, bringing their roughness to the extreme.

So the Liverpool reserve team faced such a team for the first time, and it was not a good opponent.

The actual game process also proved this point.

Although Liverpool scored a goal by Chen Yingxiong at the beginning of the game.

But soon the Reading team got a godsend opportunity.

The referee showed Stevenson a yellow card and sentenced him to death, awarding Reading a penalty.

Liverpool fans booed over the Anfield stadium. Everyone was very dissatisfied with the penalty. They believed that the Reading striker had flopped and Stevenson had been wronged.

Even Martin O'Neill protested loudly to the fourth official from the sidelines.

But the penalty cannot be changed.

Liverpool eventually lost a penalty to the opponent.

Reading made it easy and equalized the score.

Stevenson, who made the mistake, looked frustrated.

Regardless of whether he met the other party or not, the account still has to be settled on his head.

A hand clapped hard on his shoulder.

It's Chen Yingxiong.

He didn't say anything, just patted Stevenson and ran away.

Sometimes, talking too much is not a good thing, speaking with actions is the most powerful.

Reading is indeed very tenacious and rough, but their style is a bit more than today's Liverpool.

Under their rough and tyrannical style of play, Liverpool was a little timid.

Perhaps these reserve team players cherish their chance to fight side by side with Chen Yingxiong, for fear of getting injured during the game.If you are injured, if you are lucky, it will only affect the game in the reserve team. If you are not lucky, you may miss the game with Chen Yingxiong.

"Fighting side by side with Chen Yingxiong" should have become the motivation of the players, but at this time it has become a mental burden for everyone.

Liverpool basically relies on Chen Yingxiong alone to support the team.

He scored the team's first goal, second goal, third goal.

And what about Reading?Also scored the first goal, the second goal, the third goal.

Even the commentator was dissatisfied with the performance of the Liverpool reserve team.

I think that this Liverpool reserve team is not strong enough, and if Chen Yingxiong alone, it will be difficult to go further in the game.

Martin O'Neill also stood on the sidelines, frowning.Worried about the situation on the field.

But fortunately, Reading is very strong, but they don't have Chen Yingxiong.Although the Liverpool reserve team is weak, there is Chen Yingxiong.

This factor ultimately determines the outcome for both parties.

Chen Yingxiong scored a free kick in the No.707 minute. This was his fourth goal of the game, and this goal also won the game for Liverpool.

※ ※ ※

Although they won the game, Liverpool's performance was not satisfactory. Martin O'Neill criticized his players after the game, thinking that they were too weak.

After all, playing a Championship team like Reading at home, even the reserve team, shouldn't perform so badly.

In addition to the criticism from Martin O'Neill, the media is full of voices criticizing the reserve team, as well as reflections on Liverpool's reserve team plus a Chen hero model.

"In my opinion, this reserve team is far from last season's reserve team. They seem jerky and inexperienced... I think the reason why Liverpool successfully created a reserve team legend and won the FA Cup last season, Everyone just focused on Chen Yingxiong, purely on the reserve team, but ignored a deep-seated factor. Prior to this, the composition of Liverpool's reserve team had been relatively stable, with very few comings and goings, not too frequent. The reserve team has played and trained together for a long time, and there are many players who have retired from the first team. The overall strength is actually not weak, and they have rich experience. They just lack a key person, just like an assembled car The only thing left is the engine. The hero is this powerful engine. After he joined, the reserve team immediately exploded with great energy, and finally won the FA Cup as a matter of course...so in fact, the reserve team itself Level is what matters.

But this reserve team, due to the excellent performance of the reserve team last season in the FA Cup and League Cup, attracted the attention of many teams and left the team one after another.This season, Liverpool has recruited a large number of newcomers from the youth team into the reserve team. These players lack sufficient experience, and they are all eighteen or nineteen-year-olds.After all, the youth team and the reserve team are two different levels. Being able to cope with the youth team may not necessarily be able to cope with the reserve team, let alone challenge the first team directly by leapfrogging - Reading's game is full of main force .I think maybe Martin O'Neill should think about whether to continue to stick to the model of last season.To be able to succeed last season, to be honest, luck accounted for a large part, the reserve team appeared at the right time.But this season, the situation is completely different. It is impossible to simply apply the successful model of last season to this season.Such words may have very serious consequences... You must know that Liverpool's public goal this season is to win seven championships. With such a group of young children, how can it be possible to win the League Cup and the FA Cup?Not to mention the semi-finals, with this performance, they might not even be able to make it through the second round! "

The criticism from the media is very loud, and the analysis is clear and logical.After reading it, everyone felt that what they said was right. The situation is different. How can they still try to repeat the legend of the reserve team?

Isn't it too small to underestimate the heroes of the world?

※ ※ ※

Martin O'Neill has similar worries.Because the level of this reserve team does not seem to be as good as the previous one.

He found an opportunity to discuss this issue with Chen Yingxiong alone.

He euphemistically expressed doubts about whether to continue this practice.

Chen Yingxiong gave him a very positive answer.

Then he threw out his inner worries, which were actually what the media said, but he thought it made sense.

Although Chen Yingxiong also thought that what the media said was reasonable, he would not do this.Because that would mean he bowed his head to the media, and he wouldn't do it.

"The problem of strength can be solved through training, and I don't think the quality of Liverpool's youth training is that bad. The players drawn from the youth team are capable, but they lack experience. I think experience will gradually increase over time. Get better."

"However, that's all for playing against Reading... Then what if we meet a real Premier League team?"

"Before then, train them hard." Chen Yingxiong shrugged. "If it's too bad, I'll make a move."

He said it lightly, as if he could handle it casually.

But this kind of self-confidence did not frighten Martin O'Neill. He just shook his head: "You always rely on yourself. That's not the way to win football."

"Oh, anyway, I believe in my teammates, they will definitely try their best to keep up with me. This is only the first game, there is no need to make a fuss with the media, boss. Let's observe a few more games before we talk about it."

Martin O'Neill felt that Chen Yingxiong was right, this was the first game.Many mature teams may not play well in their first game.Such as the World Cup, the European Cup, these situations are very common.Maybe it's not necessarily true that this team is slow?

In this way, the two ended the conversation.

O'Neill was still a little hesitant, but Chen Yingxiong was really as confident as he said.

It's really not good, and there is him.

He is the ultimate weapon of the Liverpool reserve team, the super ace, the final solution.In fact, he was not surprised or dissatisfied with the performance of the reserve team in the last game.What this team looks like, as a person who has been training with the team for a period of time, he is very clear.It's normal to be beaten by Reading and almost lose.It is unrealistic to expect a novice team to kill the Quartet in the first game.

Even in the reserve team last season, didn't everyone focus on him at the beginning, thinking that the only role of those reserve team players was to help Chen Yingxiong get enough spots for eleven players?Which team really changes from the semi-finals.

Therefore, it is normal that the current reserve team is performing poorly.

As long as you trust them and give them time, they will perform better and better.Because Chen Yingxiong can feel the power of dreams from these players who are younger than him.

They just lack the opportunity to show these strengths, so give them such an opportunity.

In fact, unconsciously, Chen Yingxiong has undergone some changes. Today, he has learned to consider issues from the other party's perspective, think of others, and try to help those in need.He's maturing, and although he's still dickish at times, those who know him will admit it—he's changing from a boy to a man.

※ ※ ※

While Chen Yingxiong and Martin O'Neill were communicating alone, the players of the Liverpool reserve team stood obediently on the training ground and were scolded bloody by reserve team coach Clarke.

"Look at your performance in the game yesterday! It was horrible! If I were you, I would not even be able to eat and sleep well when I go home! It's just Reading, a Championship team, let You are in such a hurry, and then you met stronger opponents, you met the Premier League team, you met Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City... when you met such a team, what do you do? Raise your hands and surrender?!"

"Have you all forgotten your promise to the hero? You try to keep up with him! Now you know how fast he runs? Don't take any chances! You think your hard work in the past month is enough Open your eyes and see, this is the cruel reality! If you don’t put in more effort, if you don’t grit your teeth and persist, if you don’t show your desperate determination, you will become the burden of heroes in the game , hold him back! Now, you must fully realize your mistakes, and then work hard for me... No, it is training hard! Improve yourself! The hero has already told me that he must go to Wembley with you !"
