Chapter 263 Liverpool is tired (the second one asks for a monthly pass)

For the home game against Aston Villa, Liverpool coach Martin O'Neal still has a rotation, but there is no extensive rotation. He intends to continue the rotation in the game with Juventus. Some players who participated in the first round against Juventus did not play.

But Chen Yingxiong does not rotate.

In the game against Aston Villa, Chen Yingxiong started. Reina put on the captain's armband, and Gerrard did not play.

Despite continuous rotation, but this game can feel the team's fatigue from the beginning.

Liverpool is not an iron man, or even if Chen Yingxiong is an iron man, the other Liverpool players are not iron men. Continuous combat, coupled with these games are very important.

Another source of pressure is the winning streak.

I don't know when it started, the winning streak has become a burden...

Liverpool players want to continue to win, but they also know that every victory is not easy. This is not the case. What is even worse is that they start to feel that they must win, that they must continue to win such a streak, otherwise it will be wrong. When a thing becomes the norm and becomes an indispensable thing, it is no longer enjoyment, but a burden. This is why many people feel that once a hobby becomes a job, it will be miserable.

When victory has become a necessary task, it is a burden.

Liverpool players are now bearing such a burden.

Although Chen Yingxiong didn't think this was a burden, he couldn't represent the whole team alone. Liverpool is made up of more than 20 living people with different thoughts, different personalities and different temperaments, not more than 20 Chen heroes.

Therefore, no matter how strong Chen Yingxiong alone is, it is useless. Football is a collective event... No matter how strong Chen Yingxiong is, there is no way to turn football into a singles event.

Although Chen Yingxiong appeared to be fighting spirit and stamina on the court, but his teammates could no longer run.

Liverpool's attack is very fast, mainly supported by the speed of Gareth Bale, Sanchez and Suarez. Of course, the speed of Chen Yingxiong is not slow.

Except for Chen Yingxiong, the speed of the other three people is not as good as before.

This is very obvious, and everyone can see it through the TV broadcast.

The quality of the offense is declining. Chen Yingxiong often falls into a situation where no one is supported.

In the past, if Liverpool could not make a fast break, Chen Yingxiong would control the ball in the frontcourt, and soon his teammates would jump in at high speed and come up to meet him. The enemy's line of defense was so punched by Liverpool's frontcourt attack combination that it immediately dispersed.

Now it's different. Chen Yingxiong took the ball in the frontcourt, and his teammates came up significantly slower, and the number of times was less than before.

More often, Chen Yingxiong must fight alone.

Although Chen Yingxiong's ability to fight alone is still very strong, the problem now is that Liverpool have fewer offenses, and he has no chance to play no matter how strong he is...

Martin O'Neal naturally saw the team's current dilemma off the court, but he has no way to change this.

In the final analysis, the team's lineup is too thin, and the strength gap between the main players and the bench players is too large. From the beginning of Benitez to the injury of Martin O’Neal, it is not all solved in one or two years.

This season, I can only hold on to it and wait until the summer to start buying tonic. This time not only buying players who can play the main force, but also buying some substitute players. Then clean up some of the current team's substitutes, and those players who have been unable to keep up with the team's requirements will be removed mercilessly.

The result of the lack of physical fitness is that Liverpool did not get any scoring opportunities in their own home games for a long time.

Instead, Aston Villa scored the first goal. In the 27th minute, Liverpool fell behind.

The television broadcast gave close-ups of the facial expressions of most Liverpool players in turn.

Suarez, Bell, Sanchez, Scotter, Shaheen and others all had a dull look, but they were panting with their mouths open.

Only Chen Yingxiong spread his hands to express helplessness.

He was helpless because the game only lasted less than 30 minutes, but he felt very upset. It was so depressed... he couldn't help it.

Yes, that's how it feels.

※※※

Chen Yingxiong is indeed very strong, even in such a depressing situation, he helped the team equalize the score within ten minutes after the start of the second half.

This was not an opportunity at all, he used his body to kill a **** road in front of the door.

Then the football blasted into the gate of Aston Villa.

After scoring the goal, Chen Yingxiong was tearing up the Qiuyi, and let out his inner depressed mood.

The fans in the stands at Anfield Stadium also gave out huge cheers. They were as depressed as Chen Yingxiong, and finally took this opportunity to vent their depression.

But the Liverpool people were not happy for long, and the next game still made them depressed.

In the 70th minute, Aston Villa was pushed to the ground by Scotter in the penalty area of ​​Liverpool, and the referee did not hesitate to award a penalty.

There was no suspense about this penalty and Aston Villa took the lead again.

After this, it stands to reason that Liverpool should fight back wildly. But no.

The Liverpool players acted as if they were the leader. They were not hurried or slow on the court, and they did not see that they had the idea and ability to equalize the score.

In fact, it's not that they don't want to equalize, but that they have no spare capacity to equalize.

Because they can't run anymore.

Good runner Suarez had cramps in the eighty-first minute, which is very telling.

Although Martin O'Neal has run out of three substitutions, this does not change the situation in Liverpool.

I think that besides physical fatigue, there are also psychological ones. If my heart is tired, then I really can’t fight...

Now Liverpool wants to get nervous and want to fight, but there is no way.

When Aston Villa scored the penalty kick, the string in the hearts of many Liverpool players was directly broken...

Once the string was broken, the music of the Liverpool Orchestra would be messed up.

A chain reaction followed.

In the end, Martin O'Neal gave up.

He returned to the coach's bench and sat motionless with his legs crossed.

He had already thought in his heart how he would comfort the players when the game ended. Don't let them lose their confidence and fighting spirit because of this game.

——At this time, lose the ball if you lose. Losing a game may be a relief...If this continues, the mental pressure on the players will be too great.

Anyway, we are still ten points ahead of Manchester United. Even if we lose this game, we still have a seven-point advantage.

Losing a game is not the end of the world.

"The game is over! It's incredible! The invincible Liverpool lost to Aston Villa at their home court! Their thirteen consecutive victories ended!" When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game , The narrator shouted.

"In this game, Liverpool's performance is really not outstanding, the whole team is almost out of shape, except for the heroes... but this is because they are really tired... continuous fighting, coupled with huge psychological pressure , Finally crushed these players..."

The live TV gave Chen Yingxiong a close-up.

"To say who is the most unwilling in this game, then it must be Chen Yingxiong... He scored a goal in this game, once helped the team equalize the score, but did not play the savior of the team. "

When the narrator said this, Chen Yingxiong was being interviewed by a TV reporter.

He is very emotional.

"Yes, I have scored nineteen consecutive games, but so what? Our team lost, I would rather not score, in exchange for a victory for the team... well, so be it... …"

He didn't answer the reporters' questions, so he hurriedly left the mixed area and returned to the locker room.

※※※

The mood in Liverpool's locker room was not high, and everyone was frustrated at losing the game.

Martin O’Neal pushed the door in, and he slapped his hands: "Okay, boys! Don't take this game to heart, pack up and go home! We just lost a game, we still Leading Manchester United by seven points, nothing to be nervous! Put the pressure off, the winning streak has been ended, it’s nothing. Now the winning streak has become a burden, I would rather it be ended!"

Assistant coach Sami Lee also yelled: "Go take a shower, change clothes, think about who you are going to lie in bed with at night, just don't think about this game for me!"

Someone couldn't help but laugh, and the atmosphere finally became a bit lively.

But overall, it's still far worse than before.

Martin O'Neal is gone, he can only stand in the locker room and look at the players who are not emotional.

It's just a failure of a game, so don't take it so seriously, okay!

Although I hope that my players have a strong ambition to win, but the eagerness can be used on the right track. No matter how much you care about a lost game, you can't change the result. Instead of that, it’s better to relax...

At the same time, he worried that even if he tried his best to help the players adjust their mentality, the media would return to the pre-liberation period as soon as they were hyped.

After 13 consecutive victories and 18 consecutive unbeaten games, Liverpool finally lost. This will definitely be big news for English football.

Martin O'Neal can guess with his knees that from this evening, until tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, there will be various news reports and comments about Liverpool's loss in the media.

At that time, any moths will fly out.

That group of people is afraid that the world will not be chaotic. They obviously don't care about the life and death of Liverpool.
