Chapter 26 Yellow Mission: Scoring the first league goal (second update, monthly ticket!)

Chen Yingxiong has always believed that he wants to be famous and powerful now. He has transferred to Liverpool and his start at Liverpool should be very smooth.

Especially now the team has another special wing player, Adam Johnson.

The person who has the same idea as him is Adam Johnson. He obeyed Nian's call and believed that Liverpool would definitely have a main position to play when he came. Downing did not come. He came himself. Liverpool has a high center forward like Chen Yingxiong. Will he not let him play?

So in training and during normal contact, Adam Johnson intends to get closer to Chen Yingxiong.

Chen Yingxiong followed his principles of dealing with things in Naples, and was happy to make friends and get close to teammates who could provide him with various help on the court. Therefore, although the two met for the shortest time, they had a good relationship.

Both of them felt that with the help of each other, their future and performance in this team should be bright.

But in fact, this is not the case.

The English Premier League started in mid-August. In the last warm-up match before this, Adam Johnson got a 40-minute chance to play, but when he came on the court, Chen Yingxiong had been replaced, and he had no chance to use his cross from the side. He was like an ordinary wing forward on the court, dribbling the ball and breaking through the cross, but there was no center forward in the middle. Kuyt worked very hard, but there was a huge gap in strength and talent.

Although Adam Johnson was a little depressed at the beginning, he did not go into this issue.

Chen Yingxiong naturally felt that it was no big deal - it was a rotation in the warm-up match, a lineup in the first half and a lineup in the second half was normal, and it was nothing to change eleven people in one breath. He and Adam and Johnson did not appear at the same time, and he did not think about it in too complicated ways.

Johnson's performance in this warm-up match was very average because his purpose was to give Chen Yingxiong a cross, but Chen Yingxiong was not on the court, and his cooperation with other players lacked enough tacit understanding, so he naturally did not have those shining highlights.

No one thinks there is anything wrong with this. After all, Adam Johnson has only been in the team for less than half a month, and Chen Yingxiong has been in the team for more than a month, so it is not that tacit understanding. It’s just that he has outstanding strength and even if he lacks cooperation, he has the opportunity and ability to score goals.

But in the real league, the situation is different.

※ ※ ※

On August 13, Liverpool played against Sunderland at home, and the 2011-2012 season of the English Football Super League officially kicked off.

Originally, Liverpool was not a strong contender for any championship. But when they spent a huge amount of money to introduce Chen Yingxiong, they became popular teams. This summer, countless media gathered in Liverpool to pay attention to Liverpool's every move to prepare for the game.

Now that the first game of the new season is about to begin, the media are naturally paying more attention.

Can Chen Yingxiong show his scoring ability in the new season?

Does the arrival of heroes mean that the competition for the Premier League’s top scorer loses suspense?

Will Chen Yingxiong become the top scorer who notifies the Premier League of China in the next ten years?

Will Liverpool soar because of Chen Yingxiong's joining?

These issues are discussed the most by the media, and most media are optimistic about Chen Yingxiong's performance.

If Chen Yingxiong directly transferred to Liverpool when he was Zenit in St. Petersburg, even though he performed well in the League Cup, he might not have gotten such a result. After all, the Russian Super League and League Cup are not so dazzling in the eyes of reporters. It is inevitable that everyone should think about whether this person can adapt to the technical and tactical characteristics and style of the Premier League when he came to the Premier League.

But nowadays, few people have mentioned this issue. If the top scorer in the Serie A league for three consecutive times and the top scorer in the Champions League for two consecutive times cannot prove that Chen Yingxiong is an absolutely awesome person, then there must be problems in this world.

"... Chen Yingxiong no longer needs to prove anything. At the age of 23, he is already the world's top center. Just as no one will ask Messi to prove his ability. In terms of goal ability, Chen Yingxiong is the best!"

This is a commentary article by Liverpool's local media Echo.

To be honest, Chen Yingxiong agrees with this. He also feels that he doesn't need to prove to the outside world whether he deserves his 70 million yuan worth of his value. Someone once said that this value is a bit high, which may put a lot of pressure on Chen Yingxiong.

But Chen Yingxiong himself didn't think there was any pressure at all. He thought the price was low and asked him to say that he wanted to create a world's number one value by himself.

A high value can satisfy Chen Yingxiong's vanity.

As for how to prove that he is worth this value on the court, he is not worried at all.

But he thought of it all so beautifully.

He did not score in his first Premier League game in his career.

He started and played for ninety minutes without scoring.

This surprised the media gathered on the scene.

Chen Yingxiong was hardworking in the game. He actively ran, running from the middle to the side, and then ran back to the middle from the side, from the front to the back, and from the back to the front.

But I have no chance of shooting.

Because of this game, Adam Johnson did not play, and had not played for a minute, so he sat on the bench for a full ninety minutes.

Liverpool fully demonstrated their lack of wing in this game - basically the offense is started from the middle. Charlie Adam serves as the starter, and when Gerald is injured and missed the game, he takes on the task of organizing the offense.

However, it is a bit difficult to ask a newcomer who has just been in the team for more than a month to be the core of the organization. Charlie Adam has no idea about Liverpool and his teammates.

A newcomer who just joined the team this summer is the core of the organization, and a player who is also a newcomer is the core of the offensive. If Liverpool's performance is good, it would be a hell.

In the end, Liverpool was tied 1-1 by Sunderland at home. Suarez, who returned to the team after the Copa America, scored the only goal for the team.

Chen Yingxiong is not able to score goals every game. In Naples last season, he was in such an excellent state and had no goals in two consecutive league rounds. However, his hat-trick in the Champions League final was too powerful, leaving a very deep impression on people. Many people think that he should score like cutting melons and vegetables. In his Premier League premiere, he had to use goals to decorate it, which was considered successful.

So Chen Yingxiong didn't score, and everyone felt a little surprised and disappointed.

Adam Johnson didn't play? That's not the reason at all! With Chen Yingxiong's ability, even if he is the only one, he should be able to score goals! His strong body, his excellent long-range shooting ability, and his ability to capture fighter jets in front of the goal, can't these bring him even a goal?

No one would believe that Adam Johnson would not play, and would have such a great impact on Chen Yingxiong.

But in fact, Chen Yingxiong deliberately got close to Adam and Johnson in training. The relationship between the two quickly heated up, and they had a tacit understanding on the field. So Adam and Johnson did not play, which surprised Chen Yingxiong. In addition, Liverpool's tactics made Chen Yingxiong feel awkward - a long pass in the backcourt. Chen Yingxiong often made wedding dresses for his teammates, using his heading skills to serve as a transfer station and assisted his teammates. Suarez's goal came from Chen Yingxiong's successful heading in the frontcourt and Lucas assisted.

※ ※ ※

Chen Yingxiong didn't take it seriously without a goal. He didn't score a goal in a game in his career, and he didn't have any experiences. He has experienced a lot, so he naturally doesn't think there is anything.

But Adam Johnson was a little depressed because he didn't even have a minute of playing time.

At the post-match press conference, a reporter asked this: "Kenny, Adam Johnson spent 15 million pounds of transfer fees at the club, but he sat on the bench for a full ninety minutes..."

Daglish interrupted the questioner: "Yes, he sat on the bench for ninety minutes. But that's because he just joined the team for less than a month. He only played one warm-up game and ushered in the new season. I want to be cautious, and I don't want too much attention and pressure to overwhelm him."

This reason is flawless, because Adam Johnson has just joined the team, and his cooperation with his teammates is not tacit enough.

The media have nothing to say.

So Adam Johnson had no choice but to continue to be depressed and train hard during training, hoping to get the chance to play.

Chen Yingxiong is also training hard, hoping to score a goal.

He found that the difficulty level of the task would change at any time.

Before the start of the new season, he got a task of "scoring the first goal in the Premier League". This task was green at the beginning, and the system and he thought it was too easy to score the first goal. It was too simple. Maybe in the first game, he could not only score the first goal, but also score the second goal and the third goal?

Unexpectedly, after a game, he went to see the task again and found that the color of the task turned yellow... Although it was not very difficult, it meant that it was difficult!

Chen Yingxiong suddenly became depressed.

He felt that he was looked down upon by the system...

In the second round of the league in Arsenal, he still did not score.

In this game, Liverpool beat Arsenal 2-0 away and took the lead in the first strong dialogue this season. This is a good thing.

However, Chen Yingxiong still did not score, which diluted the joy of winning - at least for Chen Yingxiong himself and those Chinese media and Chinese fans.

There were no goals in two consecutive rounds. Chen Yingxiong had experienced such a thing last season, but there was a reason - Mazarri was in rotation, Chen Yingxiong did not start and he had too little time.

Now, starting two consecutive games without scoring, it is a bit surprising.

He performed very well in the warm-up match, scoring one goal after another, why did he suddenly become silent when he arrived in the official league?
