Dalglish referred to Chan as the hope of Liverpool's revival as an important figure (). This has caused some controversy in the local media in Liverpool. Although Chen Yingying is very good at scoring goals, Liverpool's revival cannot be completed by just one striker who can score goals. Besides, those who say they want to revitalize Liverpool is not a very goalscoring centre-forward, but a spirit. It belongs to the spirit of Liverpool, and this spirit can only be experienced and inherited by the players we have cultivated by Liverpool ourselves.

Steven Gerrard is the key to Liverpool's next rise.

He came through the Liverpool Academy and played for Liverpool from youth to first team, where there were many temptations, but he chose to stay at Liverpool and dedicated the best years of his career to Liverpool. He says that the blood in his body is Liverpool's red, and he knows what the name Liverpool means.

Only such a person can become a leader in Liverpool.

Chen Yingying is great, but he doesn't understand what Liverpool means at all, and he always seems to have a dismissive attitude towards history, as can be seen from his words and deeds during his time in Naples. Maradona was the god of Naples, and he dared to despise it.

After joining Liverpool, many players will praise and admire the team's glorious past history, saying: "I was a Liverpool fan when I was very young", "Liverpool are a great team, they have a very brilliant record", "Liverpool is the team that has won the most Champions League games in England, it's amazing...... Such words ().

What about Chen Yingxing? He didn't say anything like that, and at the grand welcome that Liverpool FC prepared especially for him, he said: "Hello Liverpool fans, I'm Chen Yingying!" I'm here to win the championship! ”

How arrogant!

But no one doubted Chen's words, both then and now, because just a month before he said that, he had just led Napoli, who had been unfavored, to beat Barcelona in the final and win the first Champions League trophy in the club's history.

Chen Yingying can indeed lead the team to win the championship, but to revive and rise the Red Army, he cannot rely on him. Maybe he can at most get another Champions League trophy for the team, and then he will use this as a springboard to go to a giant like Real Madrid for a sky-high transfer fee.

Just like what he did in Zenit, St. Petersburg, in Naples. He was not wrong, people did come to win the championship.

But can Liverpool's revival be achieved with just one Champions League title?

When Rafael Benitez led Liverpool to a fifth Champions League trophy in their history against AC Milan in 2005, Liverpudlians cheered that the Reds' glory was coming back. The result? Harshly reality has given all Liverpudlians a powerful slap in the face.

As it turned out, 2005 was the last rays of the sun on Port Albert for Liverpool, a dynasty that had dominated English football for two decades. What followed was a long, cold darkness. No one knows when the light of hope will re-envelop the city.

Therefore, a Champions League title will not revive Liverpool. But it can make Chen Yingxing's resume look better, and he can use the honor he won in Liverpool to ask for higher treatment from those rightfully popular giants.

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

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

When Dalglish said this, he must have thought that he was leaving, so he made a mess of the score.

They also like Chen Yingying, and will sincerely cheer for every goal scored by Chen Yingying, and if Chen Yingying helps the team win the League Cup, they will also trumpet him, and they are not insensitive.

Can it be said that Chen Yingying can become the future leader of Liverpool and lead the revival of Liverpool? They all had to shake their heads......

※※※

But Dalglish had his own considerations, and he responded to the questions of the media and fans......

On the first day of training after the game, Dalglish summoned the team's current three captains to his office and surprised them with the news. For this reason, he also called Gerard, who was recovering from his injuries at home, and asked him to come to Melwood. "I'm going to promote the hero to the fourth captain of the team." 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 been with the team for half a season to captain, even if it is the fourth captain, the substitute among the substitutes, which is surprising enough.

Carragher almost blurted out: "Why, boss?" ”

Reina was also surprised, but he didn't say anything, he was a foreigner, and he was also the most low-key and silent of the three captains.

Gerard has a good temper and popularity, Carragher is a little short-tempered, most of the time he is the one who gives orders, and Gerald is the spiritual leader and totem, he doesn't need to speak, as long as he is there (). But if he does speak, then absolutely no one in the Liverpool dressing room will dare to ignore him, because Carragher also wants to listen to Gerrard.

Gerald didn't speak, a pensive look on his face after the initial surprise.

"There's no why, Jamie." In the face of a person like Carragher, who regarded him as an idol, Dalglish did not explain it amicably, but directly showed his authority and prestige.

When Carragher heard him say this, he was silent.

"It's my thinking and my decision, I think the hero has enough potential to be a good 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, Dalglish might not have been able to see through many problems, such as Chen Yingying. At first, Dalglish was the same as those who opposed him doing so, and he was happy that Chen Yingxing had joined the team, just because his arrival could help the team improve and maybe win the championship.

But he never imagined that one day, Chen Yingying would become an iconic figure in Liverpool's history, leading Liverpool to revival and rebuild glory.

After talking to Chen Yingxing on the phone that day, he followed Adam. Johnson's thoughts went on, and he reflected for a long time. What does he think is a true love for Liverpool? Is it love to engage in infighting for the sake of one's own authority?

He didn't know if those two Chinese had love for Liverpool, but he couldn't do that.

Then I thought of Chen Yingying.

Then he was surprised to find that there were some shining things on Chen Yingying's body, which were very similar to Liverpool's spiritual temperament.

Like what...... Chen Hung never conceded defeat in advance, and neither did Liverpool. In the Champions League last season, he was banned for eight games, missed all six group games, and trailed Messi by six goals at most, but in the end he scored 13 goals in only seven games, and scored a hat-trick in the final to reverse Messi to become the top scorer ().

Liverpool also trailed by three goals at half-time in the Champions League final, but fought back in the second half to equalise and eventually win the title on penalties.

For example, Chen Yingying is always full of confidence in himself, even if this confidence is seen by others as arrogance, and the same is true for Liverpool. Liverpool's godfather Shankly once said: "We have two of the best teams in Moseyside - Liverpool and Liverpool reserves." ”

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

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

For this reason, he wants to take a chance, even if it is the last fortune he left to Liverpool when he leaves.

At the beginning, Paisley brought him from Scotland to Liverpool, and eventually achieved Liverpool's hegemony, and later he promoted McMaraman, Owen and others in Liverpool, and also continued the incense for Liverpool. Now he wants to continue to do so, and in any case, he hopes that Chen Yingxing can stay at Liverpool for a while longer, and for that, he thinks the captain's armband may be a good way to do it.

The captain's armband symbolizes the captain's glory and responsibility.

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

※※※

Hearing Dalglish say this, Gerrard was the first of the three captains to take a stand: "I think I'm okay, boss ()." Actually, I don't have a good relationship with the hero. ”

Steven Gerrard is the team's first captain, and he doesn't talk much in the dressing room, but he is quite prestigious, and he is the most authoritative person in the team other than Dalglish.

He said so, what objections could the other two captains have? To disagree is to oppose Gerald.

Carragher immediately agreed.

Reyna played soy sauce among the three captains, and the captain was more symbolic than practical for him, but it was actually a reward for his contribution to the team. The first two captains had no opinion, and he naturally had no opinion.

Seeing that the three captains had been managed, Dalglish nodded and continued: "I will let him wear the captain's armband in the next game." ”

When the captain agreed, wearing a captain's armband was not a big deal. The three captains had no objection either. Moreover, it is not the first time that Chen Yingying has worn the captain's armband. During Liverpool's trip to China, Chen Yingying wore the captain's armband in the two games with Evergrande and the Chinese national team.

But things are quite different. At the beginning, Niang wanted Chen Yingying to wear the captain's armband, the main purpose was to curry favor with Chinese fans and facilitate Liverpool to make money from the Chinese market. At the time, Dalglish was adamantly opposed, but then he didn't do it.

Now it was Dalglish himself who made the request.

This change also reflects the change in Dalglish's status and ideas.

Now that he is sure to leave the club, Dalglish is now a little detached, no longer obsessed with which powers are his own and which ones others should not touch......

He only cares about what is good for the team.

Dalglish, who also loses, is a man who loves Liverpool deeply and is the legendary king of Liverpool (). If it were replaced by ordinary managers who have no feelings for Liverpool, they might simply break the jar and play scoundrels. In the end, his successor must be faced with a mess that will be difficult to clean up.

※※※

Dalglish then made the announcement while the team was training.

Some of the players were surprised, some were surprised, but overall there was no displeasure or offense at Dalglish's appointment.

Anyway, it's the fourth captain, and there are three people in front of him, when will it be his turn to take the position, at least until Gerrard and Carragher are retired, and Reina is no longer in the team......

And Chen Yingying has a good relationship with the players, so everyone thinks that it is not a big deal for the hero to be the fourth captain.

However, Chen Yingying himself was a little surprised.

Although he wore the captain's armband for two games during Liverpool's visit to China, he never considered himself Liverpool's captain, even if he was fourth-placed......

Now Dalglish has announced that he is the captain, and although he is ranked fourth, he exercises the captaincy power along with Gerrard, Carragher, and Reina. For example, if the club's senior management wants to negotiate something with the team, he is eligible to attend.

He was tempted to oppose the captaincy's appointment, he felt that he was not qualified enough. So after the game, he ran to find Dalglish, but Dalglish took the first step to stop him: "Anyway, it's fourth, if you put up a name, don't shirk it." I did you a favor, hero, think Adam. Johnson. That's what I want you to do me – you're going to be the fourth captain of this team. ”

Chen Yingying had nothing to say, he did ask Dalglish to help make Adam. Johnson competes. Since Dalglish helped him, he should repay him as well. He didn't expect that even if he didn't intercede, Dalglish would consider making Adam. Johnson played the ...... of the game (To be continued)
