Chapter 705 The fourth captain (third update, ask for a monthly pass!)

Dalglish called Chen Yingxiong the hope of Liverpool's revival and an important figure.This has caused some controversy in Liverpool's local media.Although Chen Yingxiong is very good at scoring goals, Liverpool's revival cannot be accomplished only by a forward who is very good at scoring goals.Besides, those opponents believe that to revitalize Liverpool, what is needed is not a center forward who can score goals, but a spirit.It belongs to the spirit of Liverpool, and this spirit can only be experienced and passed on by the players trained by our own Liverpool.

Gerrard is an important figure in Liverpool's next rise.

He came from the Liverpool youth academy. From the youth team to the first team, he has been playing for Liverpool. He faced many temptations, but he finally chose to stay in Liverpool. He dedicated all the best years of his career to Liverpool. Liverpool.He said that the blood flowing in his body is the red of Liverpool, and he knows what the name Liverpool means.

Only such a person can become the leader of Liverpool.

Chen Yingxiong is certainly outstanding, but he doesn't understand what Liverpool means and what it represents. He always seems to be dismissive of history, which can be seen from his words and deeds in Naples.Maradona is the god of Naples, he dares to despise.

After joining Liverpool, many players will express their praise and admiration for the team's past glorious history, saying something: "I was a Liverpool fan when I was very young" "Liverpool is a great team, they have a very brilliant team. Achievements" "Liverpool is the team that has won the most Champions Leagues in England, that's amazing"... something like that.

What about Chen Yingxiong?He did not say such a thing. At the grand welcome ceremony specially prepared for him by the Liverpool club, he said: "Hello, Liverpool fans, I am Chen Yingxiong! I am here to win the championship!"

What arrogance!

But whether it was then or now, no one doubts what Chen Yingxiong said, because just one month before he said this, he had just led Naples, which was originally no one was optimistic, to defeat Barcelona in the final and won the club's history. first Champions League trophy.

Chen Yingxiong can indeed lead the team to the championship, but it is unreliable to rely on him to revive and rise the Red Army.Maybe at most he can win another Champions League trophy for the team, and then he will use it as a springboard to go to a giant like Real Madrid with a sky-high transfer fee.

Like what he did at Zenit St. Petersburg, what he did at Naples.He was right, he was indeed here to win the championship.

But can Liverpool's revival be achieved with only one Champions League champion?
In 2005, Benitez led Liverpool to reverse AC Milan and won the fifth Champions League trophy in history. At that time, the Liverpool people cheered and said that the glory of the Red Army was coming again.The results of it?The cruel reality gave all Liverpool people a powerful slap in the face.

Facts have proved that 2005 was just the last twilight of the sunset in Port Albert for Liverpool, a once brilliant dynasty that ruled English football for 20 years.Then came the long, cold darkness.No one knows when the light of hope will envelope the city again.

Therefore, a Champions League champion cannot revive Liverpool.But it can make Chen Yingxiong's resume look better. He can use the honor he won in Liverpool to ask for higher treatment from those well-known giants.

Many people believe that Chen Yingxiong will do this, because it is human nature.Compared with teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​Liverpool today is indeed unattractive.

To put it bluntly, the biggest difference between someone like Chen Yingxiong and someone like Gerrard is that he lacks a sense of identity with Liverpool.And this sense of identity is inherited and accumulated through blood. Chen Yingxiong does not have the conditions and possibilities for this accumulation, so he is destined to be unable to undertake the task of revitalizing Liverpool.

When Dalglish said this, he must have thought that he was going to leave, so he messed up the score.

These people also like Chen Yingxiong, and they will sincerely cheer for Chen Yingxiong's every goal. If Chen Yingxiong helps the team win the League Cup, they will also praise him. They are not disgusting at all.

Can you say that Chen Yingxiong can become the future leader of Liverpool and lead Liverpool to revive?They all have to shake their heads...

※ ※ ※

But Dalglish has his own considerations, and he responded to the doubts of the media and fans...

On the first day of training after the game, Dalglish called the team's current three captains to his office and announced the news that surprised them.For this reason, he also specially called Gerrard, who was recuperating at home, and asked him to come to Melwood.

"I'm going to promote the hero to the team's fourth captain," he said.

The team currently has three captains, the first captain Gerrard, the second captain Carragher, and the third captain Reina.

Dalglish wants to promote a player who has only joined the team for half a season to captain, even if it is the fourth captain, a substitute among the substitutes, it is surprising enough.

Carragher almost blurted out: "Why, boss?"

Renner was also very surprised, but he did not express his opinion. He is a foreigner, and he is also the most low-key and silent one among the three captains.

Gerrard has a good temper and popularity. Carragher has a slightly grumpy temper. Most of the time he is the one who gives orders, while Gerrard is the spiritual leader and totem. He does not need to speak, as long as he is there.But if he speaks, no one in the Liverpool dressing room would dare to ignore his voice, because Carragher also wants to listen to Gerrard.

Gerald said nothing, for after the initial surprise he had a pensive look on his face.

"There's no reason, Jamie." Facing someone like Carragher who regarded him as an idol, Dalglish did not explain in a friendly manner, but directly showed his authority and prestige.

When Carragher heard what he said, he really didn't say a word.

"This is my idea and decision. I think the hero has enough potential to become an excellent captain. So in this regard, I hope that the three captains of you will help him more." If he hadn't known in advance that he was leaving, Dag Lish may not be able to see through many problems, such as Chen Yingxiong.In the beginning, Dalglish was the same as those who opposed him. He was happy for Chen Yingxiong to join the team, just because his arrival can help the team improve its strength, and maybe it will be able to win the championship.

But he never thought that one day, Chen Yingxiong would become an iconic figure in Liverpool's history, leading Liverpool to revival and reshaping its glory.

After talking on the phone with Chen Yingxiong that day, he followed the thoughts triggered by Adam Johnson and thought about it for a long time.What does he think is true love for Liverpool?Is it love to engage in internal strife for the sake of one's own authority?

He doesn't know if those two Chinese have love for Liverpool, but he can't do it.

Then I thought of Chen Yingxiong.

Then he was surprised to find that there was something shining about Chen Yingxiong, which was very similar to Liverpool's spirit.

For example... Chen Yingxiong never concedes defeat early, and neither will Liverpool.In the UEFA Champions League last season, he was suspended for eight games, missed all six group matches, and was six goals behind Messi at the most. In the end, he scored [-] goals in only seven games and scored a hat-trick in the final The performance reversed and Messi got the top scorer.

Liverpool also once trailed by three goals at half-time in the Champions League final, but rallied to catch up in the second half, equalized the score, and finally won the championship in the penalty shoot-out.

For example, Chen Yingxiong is always full of confidence in himself, even if this confidence is considered arrogant by others, the same is true for Liverpool.Shankly, the godfather of Liverpool, once said: "We have the two best teams in Merseyside - Liverpool and the Liverpool reserve team."

But whether it is Chen Yingxiong or Liverpool, self-confidence is not arrogance, but because they have a strong backing, so their arrogance is taken for granted.Liverpool are confident because they were the best team in England from the 70s to the early 90s, and they are also the dominant team in Europe with four Champions League titles.With such strength, it is normal for them to be arrogant and confident.

Chen Yingxiong's arrogant self-confidence comes from his two top scorers in the Russian Super League, the top scorer with the most goals in a single season in the UEFA Cup, three top scorers in Serie A, two top scorers in the Champions League, and one in the Russian Super League. Champions, a Serie A title, a UEFA Cup title and a Champions League title.He is only 23 years old and he has already won so many honors.Can't he be arrogant and confident?
Therefore, he believes that Chen Yingxiong has the qualities to bring Liverpool back to glory, and it is feasible to put Liverpool's future on him.

For this reason, he wants to give it a go, even if it is the last fortune he left to Liverpool before he left.

At the beginning, Paisley brought him from Scotland to Liverpool, and finally achieved Liverpool's supremacy. Later, he promoted McMaraman, Owen and others in Liverpool, and continued the incense for Liverpool.Now he wants to continue to do this. No matter what, he hopes that Chen Yingxiong can stay in Liverpool for a while. For this reason, he thinks the captain's armband may be a good way.

The captain's armband not only symbolizes the glory of the captain, but also means responsibility.

He hopes that after Chen Yingxiong becomes the fourth captain, he can know how to take responsibility.

Hearing what Dalglish said, Gerrard was the first of the three captains to say: "I think I'm fine, boss. I actually have a good relationship with the hero."

Gerrard is the team's first captain. He doesn't talk much in the locker room, but he is quite prestigious. He is the most authoritative person in the team except Dalglish.

Having said that, what objections could the other two captains have?To disagree is to oppose Gerrard.

Carragher immediately agreed.

Reina is one of the three captains. The captain is more symbolic than practical to him. It is actually a reward for his contribution to the team.The two captains in front had no objections, so naturally he also had no objections.

Seeing that the three captains were settled, Dalglish nodded and continued, "I will let him wear the captain's armband in the next game."

Being the captain has agreed, so wearing the captain's armband is really not a big deal.The three captains had no objection either.Besides, it's not the first time Chen Yingxiong wears the captain's armband.During Liverpool's trip to China, Chen Yingxiong played both games with Evergrande and the Chinese national team wearing the captain's armband.

But things are quite different.At the beginning, Niang wanted Chen Yingxiong to stay on the captain's armband. The main purpose was to please the Chinese fans and facilitate Liverpool to make money from the Chinese market.At that time, Dalgliesh was still firmly opposed to it, but later on.

Now it is Dalglish himself who made this request on his own initiative.

This change before and after also reflects changes in Dalglish's status and ideas.

Now that he has decided to leave the club, Dalglish's thoughts are a little detached now, and he no longer entangles in which powers are his own and which powers should not be touched by others...

He only cares about which ideas are good for the team.

Also thanks to Dalglish who loves Liverpool deeply and is the legendary king of Liverpool.If it was replaced by those ordinary managers who have no affection for Liverpool, they might just break the pot and play rogue.In the end, his successor must face an unmanageable mess.

※ ※ ※

Then Dalglish announced the news during the team's training.

Some of the players were surprised, some were surprised, but overall, they were not unhappy or offended by Dalglish's appointment.

Anyway, he is the fourth captain, and there are three people in front of him. When will it be his turn to take over, at least wait until Gerrard and Carragher have retired, and Reina is no longer in the team...

Moreover, Chen Yingxiong has a good relationship with the players, so everyone thinks that it is no big deal for Yingxiong to be the fourth captain.

Chen Yingxiong himself was a little surprised.

Although he wore the captain's armband for two games when Liverpool visited China, he never considered himself the captain of Liverpool, even if he was ranked fourth...

Now Dalglish has just announced that he is the captain. Although he is ranked fourth, he exercises the power of captain together with Gerrard, Carragher, and Reina.For example, if the club's top management wants to negotiate something with the team, he is eligible to attend.

He really wanted to oppose the appointment of the captain, he felt that he was not qualified enough.So after the game, he ran to find Dalglish, but Dalglish blocked his mouth first: "Anyway, it's fourth, it's a name, so don't refuse. I helped you Do me a favor, hero, think of Adam Johnson. That's the favor I want you to do me—you're going to be the fourth captain of this team."

Chen Yingxiong had nothing to say. He really asked Dalglish to help Adam Johnson to participate in the competition.Since Dalglish helped him, he should also repay him.He didn't expect that even if he didn't intercede, Dalglish would consider letting Adam Johnson play...
