v5 Chapter 302: Just pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger

Piaotian Literature If Messi just talked to his father, it would not be considered a challenge. Because actually Messi is already competing with Chen Yingxiong.

But other people don't know that the whole world needs a fait accommodating fact-Messi and Chen Yingxiong are indeed masturbating, and both sides recognize this.

Therefore, Messi not only has to make a promise to his father, he also has to announce it to the world.

So just a day later, when Messi was interviewed by an Argentine TV station--in fact, this interview was arranged by his father Jorge to challenge Messi--and he personally admitted that he would come with Chen Yingxiong. a match.

"He issued a challenge to me? I am happy to follow, because I have confidence in myself. I will not lose to him."

The Argentine reporter smiled flatteringly: "I think the same is true, Leo. You are now 27 goals ahead of him. This is an insurmountable chasm!"

Messi didn't take the reporter's flattery seriously. It's only when you compare it.

"Yes, I have challenged, I am happy to follow, and I will defeat him."

Messi’s words quickly appeared on the headlines of major media and television news.

The major media have reported this matter and commented on it.

"In the latest news, Messi has accepted the challenge of Chen Yingxiong. Today's two peerless football players, the match between sparks hitting the earth is staged!"

"Whether Messi is stronger or is the hero stronger? This question is now not just a debate among fans... The two superstars will compete on the Champions League total number of goals!"

"...As the highest level of football competition today, the UEFA Champions League's total goals list clearly shows the ability of a player. Two people choose to compare the total number of goals, which is very smart..."

"Obviously, this is a feast for our fans. The contest between the two masters is like the decisive battle on the top of the Forbidden City in a martial arts novel. lucky……"

"Messi took the challenge and made those who were still criticizing him as timid. Those who did not dare to confront Chen Yingxiong shut their mouths! Messi's approach is correct, although he has always been the number one in the world. Player, but now he must use practical actions to tell those who question him that he is indeed the best in the world!"

...

In the past two days, the media has been full of news about Messi taking over his challenge, but Chen Yingxiong has no time to read it. He knew Messi was challenged in the mission system.

Because he has a new task, the content of the task is to ask himself and Messi to compete for the top scorer position in the Champions League.

This task can be regarded as a branch task in the "old enemy" series of tasks. The task duration is very long, and it will continue until Messi retires and retires himself. Because only then can the final result be seen. It's just that Messi is not counted in the process, because Messi is not a wooden person, and people will try to catch up. Therefore, this game has to continue until two people retired.

It doesn't matter if it lasts for a long time, because Chen Yingxiong himself didn't raise this challenge for the task. He didn't even care what reward he would get for completing this task. He just wants to beat Messi, the great sense of accomplishment in defeating Messi. It is the best reward in itself, not to mention defeating Messi and being crowned the first man in world football.

It is a long process to surpass Messi’s total goals. Chen Yingxiong himself knows it well, so he is not in a hurry. He knows that as long as he can always participate in the Champions League, he will surpass Messi sooner or later— —He has strong confidence in this point.

His focus now is temporarily in the league.

Everyone knows the thirty-sixth round. Liverpool's away challenge to Manchester United is a decisive battle. Before that, no one can be left behind. If you lose before you meet Manchester United, then Old Trafford is like a farce.

In the 34th round of the league, Liverpool played West Bromwich Albion away.

In fact, in the final stage of the league, Liverpool's schedule is beneficial to them because they have a lot of home games. In the last five games, they have three home games and only two away games.

But can't all the benefits be taken up by Liverpool?

So although home and away are dominant. Their opponent is not a bone to chew.

For the 34th round of the league opponent, West Bromwich Albion.

It seems that the strength is relatively poor, once let Liverpool sweep 4:0 at Anfield.

But things are different now. Now that the league is coming to an end, West Bromwich is going to be relegated!

West Bromwich Albion is now ranked sixteenth in the league. There are two more from the relegation zone, but their points are only two points away from the relegation zone... This is a very dangerous situation. If you don’t pay attention, West Bromwich Albion may fall into England at the end of the league. Champions League.

This time it is their home court. They will definitely seize this opportunity to give Liverpool a hard hit.

Ferguson also hopes so.

So when he went to West Bromwich Albion, Liverpool coach Martin O'Neal really didn't dare to neglect at all. Facing reporters' questions, he did not show any ease at all.

This is quite in line with the media's positioning of him and Liverpool during this time-don't look at Liverpool now ranking first in the league, winning in the first round of the Champions League semi-finals, it looks like a lot of flames and flowers. Brocade, but it was actually grilled on a fire, and the taste was only the most profound they experienced.

Liverpool is actually in crisis, and Martin O'Neal has long been devastated amid internal and external troubles.

※※※

Martin O'Neal is indeed very distressed now, but it is not the kind of distress that the media thinks. What gives him a headache is what his team must do to be able to continue to win and perform very embarrassed?

This is really a technical job.

In the past, Martin O'Neal led the team only to have a headache how to win, but when he came to Liverpool, he unexpectedly had a headache for how embarrassingly he won.

After much deliberation, he finally decided to rotate.

It is not a rotation of one or two people, but a rotation of at least two-thirds of the main lineup.

He wants to continue to let the old fox Ferguson put his vigilance down, let him think that Liverpool is going to concentrate on playing the Champions League, decided to abandon the domestic league and strive to enter the Champions League final.

From common sense. This is also a normal choice. After all, the league championship is very important to Liverpool fans, but he is a coach who has only coached Liverpool for less than two seasons. He had nothing to do with Liverpool before. He would not realize that Liverpool fans have a lot to do with the league. The desire of the championship. As a head coach, the top honour of the Champions League is obviously more attractive than the league champion. In the case of the two evils whichever is less, it is normal to choose the Champions League and give up the domestic league.

As long as Ferguson thinks so, he will further relax his vigilance. In this way, when it comes to the decisive battle at Old Trafford, Manchester United may suffer because of the coach’s mentality...

Of course, no matter how the rotation, Chen Yingxiong also has to stay on the court. After all, those are just to confuse the enemy, if you play yourself to death, it would be too uneconomical. Anyway, it must be won.

West Bromwich Albion may be a difficult opponent, but as long as Liverpool have Chen Yingxiong. The scales of victory will lean towards them.

※※※

Sure enough, when Liverpool announced its starting list, many media believed that Liverpool was going to give up the domestic league and prepare for the second round of the UEFA Champions League semi-final with Bayern Munich. In the first round, Liverpool lost a goal at home, only one goal ahead of Bayern Munich, which is very unsafe. So Liverpool had to go all out in the second round to play away games, so he had to rotate on such a large scale.

Don’t you just want the main players to get more rest?

As for why Chen Yingxiong was not rotated... It has been nearly a season, has anyone seen Chen Yingxiong being rotated? He Chen Yingxiong wants to score goals. How can you accept being rotated?

No one thinks there is anything wrong with Martin O’Neal’s arrangement, and no one has ever doubted his speculation about Liverpool.

Including Ferguson himself.

Many Manchester United fans even hope that West Bromwich Albion will win Liverpool at home in order to be relegated, so that the two teams will be evenly divided. Although Liverpool still occupies the top of the list with a goal difference advantage, their mentality will be completely different, and Manchester United will be more confident to beat Liverpool at home.

At this time, Martin O'Neill was talking to Chen Yingxiong.

His own plan needs the help of Chen Yingxiong. Before, Chen Yingxiong had been unclear about the true intentions of the coach of Pakistan.

"Do you want to win the league championship, hero?"

Martin O'Neill's question made Chen Yingxiong roll his eyes regardless of the identity between the two.

"I don't want to win the championship, why am I so desperate. Boss?"

O'Neill ignored the teasing in Chen Yingxiong's tone. He smiled: "I want to take it too, hero. But now we want to win the championship. In addition to strength, we also need some means."

"Means? What means?"

"Simply speaking. It is to show others a show, deceive our enemies, and let them relax their vigilance, so that our chances of winning will be even greater..."

Chen Yingxiong understood: "Are you acting? I'm good at acting!"

The film "Liverpool Love" starring him and Taylor Swift has a good box office. Although it can't keep up with Hollywood blockbusters, as a small-cost film, the director and screenwriter are unknown newcomers, and the male and female lead actors are not professional actors. , Being able to get that kind of box office is already worth celebrating.

This also made Chen Yingxiong more confident in his acting skills.

"So, I hope you, uh, you don't be so... how do you say, so positive in the game against West Bromwich Albion."

Chen Yingxiong was a little surprised: "Your request is so weird, boss."

No wonder Chen Yingxiong said that. The head coach generally hopes that his players will go all out in the game and bring victory to the team. How can the head coach not want his players to go all out in the game? This request is really weird.

O'Neill smiled: "I know you will be surprised, but this is the most important thing. We have to make Manchester United think we are really going to die, so that when we go to Old Trafford, we can beat one Manchester United, who is unprepared and proud to underestimate the enemy."

However, Chen Yingxiong was skeptical of his boss's thinking, and felt that he thought of his opponent too simple. "Is Ferguson that stupid?"

O'Neill shook his head: "He's not stupid, he's very smart, but sometimes it's not a good thing to be too smart." O'Neal didn't bother to explain to Chen Yingxiong any empirical mistakes, this matter is too much to talk about. There is no need to waste words.

"In short, we must not only win West Bromwich Albion, but not too easily, we must make others think that we are a narrow win, a fluke, a bad luck, but we will not think that we are defeated by strength. Opponent."

"To put it bluntly, just pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger..." Chen Yingxiong understood. He is no stranger to this. Before, when he played against Barcelona for the first time in Naples, he and his teammates played "Pretend Pigs and Eat Tigers", making Barcelona the number one in the universe before the game. He looked very humble and fearful of Barcelona. As a result, he wiped his face during the game and almost knocked Barcelona to the ground on the road.

"You understand number nine, hero. So I hope you retain a little bit of strength in the game, and I believe that even if you don't have to do your best, you can score a goal against West Bromwich Albion, right?"

To deal with people like Chen Yingxiong, praise him and wear a high hat is more effective than anything else.

Sure enough, upon hearing the head coach's words, Chen Yingxiong immediately puffed up his chest: "That is! I only use half of his power to defeat them! You look okay, boss!"
