Heroes of the Restricted Zone

Chapter 1448 Maybe It's the Last Chance
It doesn't matter whether Chen Yingxiong really said that he would go to Wembley with them.The important thing is that Clark's lecture played its due role.

From that day on, the mental outlook of the reserve team improved, and everyone trained harder, even working so hard that Clark worried that the players would get injured in training if they couldn't wait for the game.

Because the players in the reserve team would never doubt what Chen Yingxiong said.He has proven with his actions that he means what he says.Just last season, Chen Yingxiong also said to the players of the reserve team that he must go to Wembley with them and stand on the podium at Wembley with them.

It turned out he did.

So today's Liverpool reserve players will not doubt the authenticity of Clark's words.

They just need to work hard to improve themselves in the next training, keep up with Chen Yingxiong as quickly as possible, and don't drag the hero's hind legs at critical times.

In this way, Liverpool's reserve team is in full swing.

As for the criticism from the outside media, it can no longer interfere with them.Because deep in their hearts, they have a firm goal - to go to Wembley Stadium with heroes!

※ ※ ※

Chen Yingxiong didn't know about the changes in the reserve team, and he didn't bother to care about the reserve team.The first game was not played well, it was the reserve team's own problem, and their own problems had to be solved by themselves.If you can't even solve this problem, how can you compete with those Premier League teams in the League Cup and FA Cup in the future?
If you want to compete for honor and create a legend with him, you must keep up with your own footsteps and meet your own requirements.Chen Yingxiong will not lower his standards to cater to those reserve team players.

Those who fail to meet this standard will be eliminated.What can be achieved stays.

This is the survival of the fittest, which is also a good thing for them.As long as they still have dreams in their hearts, they will work hard to improve themselves. You must know that the benefits of doing so are not only to be able to participate in the League Cup and FA Cup with Chen Yingxiong, they will benefit a lot from this experience in the future.Just like those reserve players who have left the team.

After the League Cup, Chen Yingxiong continued to participate in the league non-stop.

In the tenth round of the league, Liverpool defeated Aston Villa 3:1 at home. Chen Yingxiong scored twice in the game.

He has scored 21 goals in the league this season, and this is only ten league rounds.

His total goals this season also reached 41.

The condition is very good.

Chen Yingxiong, who is in good form, also continued this state in the next Champions League group stage.

Liverpool played against Monaco at home, the score was 3:0, and Liverpool beat their opponents.The hero scores a goal and assists a goal.

Liverpool even used rotation in this game...replacing almost half of their main players.

Such a large rotation rate is really rare.Unless it is the kind of team that has already qualified in advance, it will do this.But Liverpool did this in the fourth group match, making outsiders really wonder whether they should be called arrogant or too confident.

But the result was that Liverpool relied on half of the main team to beat Monaco 3-0 at home.

Even if they are arrogant, they really have the strength to be so arrogant.

With 2 points accumulated in four games, they rank first in the group, three points ahead of No.3 Eindhoven. No.4 Galatasaray and No.[-] Monaco are one point.This means that Liverpool has already qualified for the group two rounds ahead of schedule.

Now what they have to solve is to appear as the number one in the group.

They will soon be able to solve this problem, because on November 22, in the fourth round of the group stage, Liverpool will face Eindhoven at home. After defeating their opponents, they will be able to qualify as the first in the group one round ahead of schedule.

In this group, no team can stop them.

※ ※ ※

In the 11th round of the league, Liverpool played against Nottingham Forest at home.

In the face of this newly promoted team, Liverpool showed no mercy and defeated the opponent 2-0 cleanly at home.

In the past, Forest was the only team that could defeat the European overlord Liverpool in its heyday. Although they have returned to the Premier League, their revival will take a long, long time, maybe ten years, maybe 50 years.Liverpool, on the other hand, has made great strides on the road to revival.

The two former mortal enemies have long since parted ways and gone their separate ways.

Nottingham Forest is no longer qualified to be an enemy that can threaten Liverpool.

The schedule is a bit dense.

After the game against Nottingham Forest, Liverpool had to go away to play Birmingham, three days later on Wednesday.

It's another League Cup game.

The League Cup has reached the fourth round.

One step further, it is the quarter-finals.If you can pass the quarter-finals, you will be able to enter the semi-finals.

The semi-finals are home and away. After two games, the team with more goals will enter the final.If the number of goals of the two teams is the same, the difference from the European competition is that the number of away goals will not be compared, but a 10-minute overtime game will be played directly. Then there will be a penalty shootout (sorry: last season's League Cup, let me write a game to determine the outcome, I'm sorry, I hereby explain that the League Cup semi-final format is based on this).

After the semifinals, it's the final.At this point, the rookies of the reserve team can play on Wembley Stadium, many of them have no experience of playing on this stadium.

For them, it's an exciting prospect.

For this goal, they have been working hard... no, they are training desperately.

The shame of the first game, they must wash it away in the second game!

They know that the outside world has always believed that they are not worthy of participating in the League Cup with Chen Yingxiong, and they are far inferior to their predecessors, the last reserve team.This kind of criticism is like a boulder, pressing on their hearts, making them almost breathless.

Now they have a chance to prove to others that they are not trash, they are not rookies, and they can also be worthy of Chen Yingxiong!
For the League Cup match against Birmingham, Liverpool's reserve team is fully prepared.

If they perform poorly in this game, they will feel ashamed. If it is serious, they may fall into a vicious cycle of "poor performance-self-denial-continue to perform poorly-continue to self-denial".

It can be said that there is no way out at all.

※ ※ ※

Now the media are no longer surprised that Liverpool has sent a reserve team to participate in the League Cup.

Because everyone is used to it, and it is not surprising.

There is no longer any opponent's strategy. Liverpool does not work hard and despises the opponent-since Chen Yingxiong led the reserve team to defeat Chelsea in the FA Cup final last season and won the FA Cup, this voice has completely disappeared.

Everyone relied on this team to win the FA Cup. This is a champion team. How else can we respect our opponents?

For today's Liverpool, if they send a reserve team, it is considered a great respect for their opponents.

The game against Birmingham was about to start. Before the start, the head coach Martin O'Neill stood in the dressing room. He didn't say much to these players.

Sometimes he would indeed compare these people with the reserve team of the previous session, and then feel that they are really inferior to the previous session.

But now is not the time to hit their morale.So he doesn't want to talk too much.

Also, the fear of talking too much will make these young people more nervous.Birmingham was relegated from the Premier League last season, and it still has a lot of prestige, but it is much better than Reading.

In case this group of people got too nervous and lost the game in the end, it proved that Chen Yingxiong's approach was wrong, but this season's Grand Slam goal would also fail.This is what he is most worried about, the lost champion will not come back.I let out all the big words before, but now I just let everyone wait to see the joke?Besides, the next time I want to compete for seven championships, who knows when I will have to wait...

So he didn't say anything, just gave a few light instructions, which sounded harmless.Neither told them what they should pay attention to, nor did they give any decent encouragement, everything was just a formality.

Clark saw this scene from the side, and was also worried about his subordinates.Can these people... really go on?As the assistant coach of Martin O'Neill, he also knows that if the reserve team loses the League Cup, then they will not have their share in the FA Cup.O'Neill will definitely not let Chen Yingxiong continue to lead the reserve team to play in the FA Cup.This is a very good reason, and even Chen Yingxiong may not be able to refute it.

But Clark and Martin O'Neill don't know that his gesture, in the eyes of those players, has a deeper meaning.

The head coach's reticence meant dissatisfaction with their last game, while also expressing some distrust.It seems like they are indeed inferior to their predecessors.

But this contempt did not make the players of the reserve team feel dissatisfied and hit.

They are now a group of people with goals and dreams, and unlike the illusory dream goals before, their goals this time are very clear.

That is, no matter what, be sure to go to Wembley with heroes!
Just such a thought supported everyone, allowing them to survive the hard training these days.

Now there is a fire in their hearts, and they can't wait to vent it out, and this upcoming game is the best opportunity.

All the fire in my heart was sprayed out in this game.

With the fire in their hearts, all enemies and obstacles that stand in front of them are burned to ashes.

Use the fire in your heart to prove that they are not useless waste.

Use the fire in your heart to illuminate that common dream.

Go to Wembley with heroes!
