Chapter 91: The Luck of the King of the Cup (Second Update, Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Throughout February, Liverpool continued their excellent run in the cup but poor ups and downs in the league ().

On February 6, in the 24th round of the league, Liverpool drew 1:1 with Tottenham Hotspur at home, and the hero continued to score goals, but he also continued to be unable to bring a victory to the team.

On February 11, in the 25th round of the league, Liverpool lost 1:2 to Manchester United away. Manchester United breathed a bad sigh and Liverpool continued to be unable to move in the quagmire of eighth in the league.

Chen Yingying has scored in four consecutive games, and he has scored five goals in four league games, but only brought four points to the team.

He worked hard every game, but the state of the whole Liverpool team was up and down, sometimes good and sometimes bad.

Now everyone can see that Liverpool's problem is indeed not Chen Yingying's state problem, but the whole team is rotten from the roots.

Some even began to question Chen Yingxing's impulsive transfer decision. If he stays at Napoli or goes to another team, he will definitely be a hundred times better than he is now.

It's not that Chen Yingying's ability is not good, but Liverpool is dragging him down. Many people feel that if this situation continues, Chen Yingying will sooner or later be gradually forgotten because of a team like Liverpool that can't even participate in the Europa League, and fall from the top of the world to the bottom.

Chen Yingxing's momentum last season was actually very good, and if he can transfer to a popular giant, he will definitely be able to go to the next level.

For example, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United, Bayern, and Milan can also be used.

He had no choice but to choose Liverpool ().

Did he think that he could bring Liverpool out of the quagmire and regain its glory on his own?

Wish for the moon!

Football is a team sport, even if Maradona is respected as God in Naples, but he also has people like Careca around him to assist him, otherwise he will not be able to play alone.

Chen Yingying thought he could become the god of Liverpool, but unfortunately he is now alone.

In the league, Liverpool have had good luck and results in the FA Cup.

They drew Championship side Brighton in the fifth round of the FA Cup, and they played at home.

This time, Dalglish did not continue to send the full main force into the battle. Just seven days later, Liverpool will face the Carabao Cup final at Wembley Stadium against Cardiff City.

In order to ensure the physical strength and fitness of the main players, most of them will not play in the FA Cup game against Brighton, and some will not even make the squad.

Chen Yingying is the one who didn't even make the list.

He was replaced by Suarez.

Suarez has been back in training since the beginning of February, coming off the bench in the last game against Manchester United and officially back on the pitch.

However, the state still needs to be restored. He didn't contribute anything to the team when he came on against Manchester United.

The FA Cup game against Brighton is a great opportunity now, the team is playing at home, the opponents are not strong, and the pressure is relatively light.

Chen Yingying, on the other hand, appeared in the VIP box at Anfield Stadium with Gerrard, who was recovering from injury, to watch the game live. At the same time, it is also a cheer for Suarez, who is making his first start after recovering from injury.

After that incident, he and Suarez became true friends. Although he offended all Manchester City fans because of this, Chen Yingying thought it was worth it.

In the end, Liverpool beat Brighton 6-1 at home.

However, after Chen Yingying's absence, Liverpool's attack power still exposed a huge problem - this sounds very unreasonable, it's 6:1, and there is still a problem with this attack power? So what kind of attack power is okay?

But if you consider that three of these six goals were own goals from the other side, it is very telling......

Poor Brighton scored a total of four goals in this game, Liverpool only scored three, and it stands to reason that the score should be 4:3, and Brighton advanced. But Brighton's players got the ball in the wrong direction and three of their goals went into their own goal. One of their midfielders Lahm. Bridcarter is even more tragic today, scoring twice in the game, but both of them came into his own net.

You know, although Liverpool scored a goal in the first five minutes of the home game through Skrtel, but in the 17th minute, Brighton midfielder Lualua equalized for the team.

Since then, Liverpool have not been able to find a way to score.

If the game continues like this, it's really hard to say who will die in the end.

It was at this time that Brighton's tragic figure, BridCarter, stepped forward to rescue the Liverpudlians, who were already getting more and more impatient.

He scored his first own goal of the game.

It's already the 44th minute, and with a minute to go, Brighton can walk into the dressing room with an average head held high, while Liverpool's players will continue to be under intense pressure.

His goal was a huge demoralisation blow to Brighton, and it allowed the Liverpool players to escape, at least they had a much better time at half-time.

Sure enough, only twelve minutes into the second half, Kuyt scored a goal for the team, and the score became 3:1. And Brighton began to crumble.

Bridcarter also added fuel to the fire at this time and scored another own goal. This time, even the commentator of the game broadcast couldn't stand it anymore, and kept chanting: "Oh my God...... OMG...... Poor Bridcart, hapless Bridcart, he's unfortunate enough ......"

This is not the end, just three minutes after BridCarter scored an own goal, Brighton's defender Dunk Keke also scored an own goal, the score became 5:1, and the game completely lost suspense.

After watching such a game, it is really difficult to bring up much interest in victory. Liverpool really won by luck and their performance in the first half was a shame.

Dalglish also admitted after the game that the team was not happy with the win because "we played badly......

The only consolation was that Suarez, who made his first start since returning from injury, was in good form, scoring his sixth goal towards the end of the game...... No, it should have been the third goal, which sealed the score of 6:1.

After the game, the media also said that Suarez had such a state to let many people breathe a sigh of relief - in the past three months, Liverpool can only rely on Chen Yingying, Chen Yingying is obviously difficult to support alone, Suarez's comeback will greatly reduce his pressure, and at the same time can provide more firepower for the team.

In this light, Suarez will have a good chance of starting in the Carabao Cup final...... This is another insurance for Liverpool, which is aiming to win the championship.

※※※

On February 26, which is supposed to be the day of the 26th round of the Premier League, the other 18 teams are in the thick of it. According to the original schedule, Liverpool should have played for the 217th Merseyside derby at home.

The match has now been postponed to March 13 to make way for the Carabao Cup final.

Liverpool's opponent in the final is Cardiff City, a team from the Championship.

Not a team of the same class at all, many felt that this was the perfect time for Liverpool to end an embarrassing record that had not won a title in six years.

Even Cardiff City's local media were not optimistic that the team would be able to beat a strong Liverpool side – who were not very strong in the league but were still the clear champions in the cup competition.

But why, does Dalglish feel a little uneasy?

The night before the game, the team stayed in a hotel in London. Tomorrow afternoon they will be on their way to the new Wembley Stadium.

He's done everything that needs to be done, he's seen the tactical meetings, he's sure everyone knows what they're supposed to do tomorrow's game, and the coaching staff meetings have taken place. For this final, he was well prepared.

But why does he just feel very unsteady in his heart?

Looking at the time, it was still early to ask for bedtime, and he decided to go to the bar in the hotel for two drinks.

It's a good way to relax, maybe you're a little too nervous...... After 12 years away from first-line coaches, this is the first time he has led a team to a final.

The King of Anfield also had nervous times.

※※※

At the bar, he meets Chen Yingxing.

In fact, there are not only Chen Yingying in the bar, but also many Liverpool players. According to Liverpool's rules, players are not allowed to go out twenty-four hours before any game, so on the eve of the final, if you don't want to be in your room in a daze at a boring TV show, you can only choose from a limited amount of entertainment in the hotel - you can drink alcohol, but not too much, only a little (). In addition, you can also go to the billiards room and table tennis room to play ball. Other than that, there's nothing else to entertain.

There are also people who come to the hotel with their own entertainment tools, and they are like moving, and all kinds of game consoles are stuffed with their luggage.

Chen Yingying was drinking in front of the bar.

He had just taken a note of the task list, and he had been given a few new tasks - the "League Cup Championship" was required to help the team win the League Cup, which was a team task, no matter how well he played, as long as Liverpool won the title, he would have completed it.

"The embarrassment of not winning a championship for six years" requires Chen Yingying to score at least one goal in the final to help the team win the championship. End the embarrassment of six years without a championship.

There is also a new mission, but this new mission is an upgraded version of the previous mission......

"Farewell to the King: Grand Slam": The King is leaving the team, as a legend of the club, he deserves a decent curtain call, and I think he will be happy if you can beat your opponent in the final and help the team lift the trophy. Know that he is so supportive and cares about you, and maybe he has a bad relationship with your friends, but he never gets angry with you. Kenny is a good guy and a great player and coach who has won all the trophies he can as a player and coach but is just one League Cup away from it. If he can win the Carabao Cup, he will become the second manager to win a Grand Slam title after Alex Ferguson and Jose Mourinho. Being the first person to win a Grand Slam at the same time, both as a player and as a manager, is a great achievement and a great farewell gift, isn't it?

In addition to the previous two, there is also a new talent reward, "The King's Ball Control Skills", which improves Chen Yingying's stability and accuracy in using his feet to control the ball. This is also a great reward for heroes.

He's drinking a little wine here, thinking about how he's going to get the job done, @.
