After playing against Blackburn, Liverpool immediately welcomed Anderlecht at home.

The team was relaxed by a 5-1 away victory over Anderlecht, and even head coach Martin O'Neal didn't think there would be any problems in this game.

I didn't expect that I realized something was wrong after the game started. This time, not only the team underestimated the enemy, but this time the head coach underestimated the enemy...

Fortunately, there is a person who never underestimates the enemy, or he never gives up on his pursuit of goals just because his opponent is at his level.

Regardless of whether the team's qualifying situation has been decided, Chen Yingxiong will continue to pursue goals as always.

Because he wants to compete with Messi for the number of goals.

In the Champions League match two days earlier, Messi scored twice away in the game, and the number of goals has increased to five.

Although Messi is still one less than Chen Yingxiong in terms of goals, Chen Yingxiong cannot be taken lightly, because Messi is indeed the most powerful player in football today, and he has a very powerful team. As long as he is in this team, his goals will continue to appear.

It was precisely because of Chen Yingxiong's two goals that Liverpool avoided being defeated by Anderlecht at home. In the end, Liverpool shook hands with Anderlecht 2:2 at home.

Chen Yingxiong scored twice in the game, so he has scored eight goals in the Europa League this season and continues to lead the scorer list.

Back in the league, Liverpool easily beat Fulham 2:0 at home. Chen Yingxiong did not score in this game because he was arranged to sit on the bench and compete continuously, which had a great impact on the team's physical fitness. Martin O'Neal continued to insist on his rotation.

Since the game entered the Liverpool trajectory from the beginning, the goal came soon, and Fulham did not show their tenacious fighting spirit, so Martin O'Neal had no idea to let Chen Yingxiong play at all. He finally sat on the bench for a full ninety minutes.

On November 24, in the 14th round of the league, Liverpool defeated Newcastle 3:0 away, and Chen Yingxiong started and scored a goal.

The league started with fourteen rounds, and he scored sixteen goals and three assists. You should know that this data was played when he was rotated in three games and was suspended from a red card in one game. Therefore, he actually scored sixteen goals in ten games, which was a very amazing result.

Unfortunately, he did not continue this outstanding form to the League Cup. In the quarterfinals of the League Cup held on November 30, Liverpool lost to Chelsea 0:2. Chelsea avenged that he was eliminated from the quarterfinals by Liverpool with the same score last year.

In fact, we can't blame Chen Yingxiong for being in poor condition. Chen Yingxiong started with a seat on the bench in this game.

It was not until the 67th minute that he was replaced, when Chelsea had already led Liverpool two goals.

His appearance did not bring any positive changes to the team. In the end, Liverpool could only accept the fate of being eliminated from the League Cup.

But Martin O'Neal was not frustrated or upset. Although he still expressed his regret for being eliminated at the post-match press conference. But that was just pretending to be for others to see.

Martin O'Neal might even breathe a sigh of relief... In this way, the team no longer needs to consider the League Cup in the next two or three months. If possible, O'Neal even wants to give up the FA Cup directly.

The team is now in a very good momentum in the league. If you continue to play like this, it is hard to say whether you win the championship, but there is a great possibility of qualification for the Champions League. Although they were tied at home in the Europa League, it did not damage the team's qualifying situation.

So Martin O'Neal thought he would focus on the league and focus on the Europa League. As for the two domestic events, he gave up temporarily.

On December 2, the 15th round of the league was left with five rounds left before the match agreed by Chen Yingxiong and Martin O'Neal. Liverpool faced Bolton at home.

The final score was 4:0. Chen Yingxiong, who came on as a substitute in the League Cup, failed to help the team defeat Chelsea. Thus, he advanced to the semi-finals, used all his strength in this game, and he staged a hat trick...

This is his second hat-trick this season. The league has only been in fifteen rounds and he has scored nineteen goals...

Such terrifying goal efficiency made the entire English football world tremble.

The league hasn't even arrived halfway, and the media have already consciously not discussed who will win the best scorer of the season.

Because this is completely unnecessary, the battle for the best scorer is unnecessary in front of the strong Chen Yingxiong!

This is a good thing for Chen Yingxiong, but it is a very cruel thing for others, especially Van Persie...

After losing the league's top scorer last season, he told the head coach and himself that there is still next season.

But now it seems that he may still have to put his hopes on next season. Because this season, it will be very difficult for him to surpass Chen Yingxiong...

During the same period last season, after fifteen rounds of league games, he ranked first in the league scorer list and scored fifteen goals.

His condition this season is obviously not as good as last season, and only eleven goals were completed in the fifteen rounds of the league.

There is eight goals away from Chen Yingxiong, how can I chase this? Everything is possible. This doesn't seem to apply to Chen Yingxiong.

After playing the domestic league, Liverpool rushed to Portugal and challenged Sporting Lisbon away.

Before every Europa League, Messi's game has ended, so Chen Yingxiong will have a very clear benchmark and reference.

Messi received a penalty kick in the game, and his individual Champions League goals rose to six in a single season.

Before the group stage ended, he had already scored six goals. This performance has made many European sports media praise him, believing that Messi continued his outstanding form last season and may be able to defend the Champions League top scorer this season.

If you continue to play in this state, no surprise, Messi's various grand prizes this year will definitely be the same.

The Champions League is indeed the most eye-catching stage. In the same European battle, Chen Yingxiong scored eight goals in the Europa League. Only the media in England and China were the happiest. After a while of publicity, the attention paid by sports media in other countries was obviously not as good as Messi.

So everyone praised a player who scored six goals, but ignored those who scored eight goals.

Chen Yingxiong did not care about this with the media because he knew that he had only scored eight goals, which was indeed not enough to cause a sensation!

He wants to score more goals!

In the away game against Sporting Lisbon, Chen Yingxiong continued to score in a fierce and scored twice!

Helped Liverpool win Sporting Lisbon 2:1 away. There was the last round left in the group stage. Liverpool won four wins and one draw and had thirteen points. They had already qualified early and even won the first place in the group in advance. Anderlecht competed with Sporting Lisbon for another qualifying spot.

The date of the last round of the UEFA Cup group stage is December 15th. From this day on, Liverpool will also be involved in very intensive events in the Premier League.

So Martin O'Neal has begun to consider a big rotation in this last round of group stage. Winning or losing is not important. The important thing is to let the main players rest and train young players, so that those rotation players can get more opportunities to play, and avoid them from being upset because of too few appearances.

On the plane back to Liverpool from Portugal, Chen Yingxiong found Martin O'Neal, and this was the matter he was talking about.

Chen Yingxiong can't see through other people's thoughts, but after playing in professional football for so many years, will his experience and common sense still have some. Now the team qualifies in the group in advance and won the first place in the group. In the last round, the head coach of Grika, the bottom team in this group, will definitely rotate.

Chen Yingxiong doesn't care about the rotation of other people, so he hopes that O'Neal won't rotate him because he wants to score goals. This season, he sets a goal for himself in the European game to score twenty goals. Although he is confident to reach the final with the team, this thing still needs to be considered. His hope does not mean that the team can definitely reach the final. If he can't reach the final, he may be eliminated where he will be. What if he is too far from twenty goals by then?

So it is best to score more goals in games you are sure to participate in.

In the last round of the group stage, the opponent is a recognized bottom team, and it is simply a great target for scoring goals!

How could Chen Yingxiong miss such an opportunity?

So he talked to O'Neal about this.

O'Neal was puzzled by his insistence on participating in the last round of the group stage. He really planned to let Chen Yingxiong rest in this game, and he had a thorough rest. Not only did he not allow him to start, but he didn't even let him enter the bench list. He threw him directly into the stands and became an audience.

Considering the intensive schedule next time, it is reasonable for O'Neal to arrange this reasonably, which is also the routine of ordinary coaches.

But Chen Yingxiong came to tell himself that he must participate in the last round of group stage.

Why is this?

He also asked for leave from himself before, saying that he would go back to China to celebrate his father's birthday no matter what...

O'Neal began to reflect - was he too indulged in this Chen Yingxiong? He began to ignore the authority of his head coach?

Then I still have to show my authority as the head coach, so as not to be too arrogant!

So he shook his head and rejected Chen Yingxiong's suggestion: "I can't promise you, hero. We have already qualified for the UEFA Cup, and the last group match will have no meaning to us. But the league schedule will be intensive after the fifteenth day, and the team needs your strength."

"There is no problem with my physical fitness, boss. Even if I play one game a day, I can still play! So please make sure to let me participate in this group match!"

Seeing him so determined, O'Neal felt even more and more strange: "Why? What reason do I have to let you start?"

Chen Yingxiong's answer shocked O'Neal: "Because I want to score a single season European goal record, boss! I will score at least twenty goals in the UEFA Cup this season! So every game is crucial to me!"
