After Martin O'Neal decided to adjust his strategy, he suddenly felt much more relaxed. At least he didn't have to bear the pressure of fighting for the championship on both fronts. Now he can arrange his players calmly, and more people can get a chance to rest, avoiding further fatigue and causing injuries.

At the end of the season, injuries are the most likely to occur because everyone is very tired at this time and their physical functions are at the lowest point of the entire season. Even if they are training, they will be easily injured, let alone in intense competitions.

This is also why many players are always suddenly injured before the World Championships and miss the competition regretfully due to injuries, leaving the fans with a sad figure.

Martin O'Neal doesn't want to have large injuries in the team at the most critical moment of the season.

In order to give players more rest opportunities, many main players stayed in Liverpool in the away game against Twente, and some main players just sat on the bench even after they went there.

Chen Yingxiong is also among them.

Chen Yingxiong did not object to this either.

Anyway, he has scored twenty-five goals now, and such an outstanding result is enough to stand out in the crowd. He is not short of such a game.

Of course, no one can stop his desire to score goals.

He was replaced in the 79th minute, when Liverpool had already tied with Twente 2:2 away. Even with this score, Liverpool had advanced to the semi-finals.

So at this time everyone's fighting spirit is not particularly strong.

But under such circumstances, Chen Yingxiong still scored a goal, increasing his UEFA Cup goals this season to twenty-six.

In the end, Liverpool won the game 3:2 away, and also eliminated Twente with a total score of 8:3 and advanced to the semi-finals.

At the same time, in the other half of the zone, Inter Milan also eliminated its opponent and entered the semi-finals. These two strongest teams really went for the finals. The scene that everyone had been waiting for for a long time was still two games away from the semi-finals!

Liverpool's opponent in the semi-finals is Lyon from Ligue 1.

This former Ligue 1 overlord can only play in the Europa League. And in terms of strength, they are obviously not Liverpool's opponents.

But O'Neal was not willing to take it lightly. Just like he treated Twente. If he had been unfair and had his all, how could he win so easily? If he had been careless and thought he would win, then he would probably be eliminated by Lyon.

After playing against Twente, Liverpool returned to China to face their opponents in the Premier League, and their strength was not strong - Blackburn, and they still played at home.

There is no reason to not be able to win such a game.

Liverpool is now in this situation - winning consecutively may not be able to win the league championship, but if they do not lose continuously, they may lose third in the league.

Although you can also be qualified to participate in the Champions League by winning the fourth place in the league, this is not the result O'Neal wants - the fourth place in the league must play the qualifying match. If you play the qualifying match, the team's training preparations must be advanced because the time for the qualifying match is very high.

This will have a certain impact on the team's physical fitness.

Another reason is that Liverpool has performed so well this season and has almost hoped to win the Premier League championship trophy for a while. Why did he end up playing in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers? Of course, he has to play directly in the main game! Playing in the main game and the qualification game are completely different identities!

So even if he faces an opponent like Blackburn at home, O'Neal will have all the main players.

The players did not disappoint his expectations and won the opponent 3:1 at home.

Chen Yingxiong did not score a goal, but he assisted two goals, helping Suarez and Kuyt score two goals, and the other goal was scored by Scotter using a corner kick.

Although the league championship is getting farther and farther away, the atmosphere in Anfield is still unspeakable.

Very enthusiastic.

Fans cheered for every exciting performance of Liverpool players, and this atmosphere also affected Blackburn's performance.

Although it is incomparable to those stadiums in Türkiye, Anfield Stadium is still the most difficult home court in the Premier League, and it is the "hell home court" of the Premier League.

The fans of this game were so enthusiastic that Chen Yingxiong also received good news after the game.

Tom Jackson called him and told him that the "Red Giant Bear" fan organization had been established. Because this fan organization is an organization that supports Chen Yingxiong, Tom Jackson called Chen Yingxiong to notify Chen Yingxiong below.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yingxiong was particularly concerned and offered to give a gift to congratulate the establishment of the "Red Giant Bear" fan organization. The gift was a signed jersey of his own and a pair of signed boots of his own.

The members of the "Red Giant Bear" fan organization who received these two gifts were very happy, which shows that Chen Yingxiong really cared about them. This made them full of motivation and fighting spirit, and vowed to carry forward the fan organization.

This is the power of idols. The idols that fans like are really willing to do everything for him. If this idol can occasionally express the concern of fans, then the fans will be willing to go through fire and water.

There is a saying that God’s divine power, also known as faith power, comes from the admiration and worship of their believers. The more pious the faith power, the stronger the faith power. Therefore, if you look at God’s divine nature, it depends on who has the most believers.

In fact, the role of the fan organization Chen Yingxiong is somewhat similar to this setting. Any fans in the fan organization will capture his own beliefs for him, that is, "fan reputation". Although every fan contributes very little fan reputation, it is very considerable to gather sand to form a tower. Moreover, this reputation is stable and renewable.

This is better than the one-time fans who can only get their jobs, and it is more popular than the total number of fans who score goals.

No wonder Chen Yingxiong attaches so much importance to this fan organization. For him, the stronger the fan stop, the more fans he has, the more fans he can gain.

At present, fans' reputation is mainly used to complete the task of "Shocking KOP stands", but Durcula also told him that in the later version, this fan reputation will definitely be of great use, so Chen Yingxiong should not underestimate the reputation of the fans, and should accumulate more while now.

Chen Yingxiong didn't know what it was for, but he thought that what Durcula said was definitely correct.

Anyway, save it up first. Anyway, there are always benefits and no harm in many of these things.

On the day the "Red Gibbs" organization was established, Phil Gibbs came to the scene as a specially invited guest. When he was pushed to the stage by Adam Smith in a wheelchair, huge cheers sounded. Although his bloody night in Istanbul on the street brought more than 20 shocking scars to his body, it also brought him great popularity among Liverpool fans. You should know that she was promoted by the media as a fan hero who "defended Liverpool's glory".

If it weren't for his poor health, the TV station wanted to invite him to do the show... Phil Gibbs became famous overnight and became famous throughout England. Of course, in Liverpool, he was the most popular fan. Everyone knew his name and could even recognize him. He was no different from a star.

After media publicity, Phil Gibbs is another idol in the minds of Liverpool fans. Although he is not a player, he still has the same appeal as a player.

Now such a competing fan idol is actually a member of the "Red Giant Bear", which naturally makes many "Red Giant Bear" fans feel proud.

I suddenly felt how right it was to join this fan organization...

At the establishment ceremony, Tom Jackson and Adam Smith showed the signature jerseys and signature sneakers that Chen Yingxiong gave them together, which made everyone feel that this organization is amazing. Chen Yingxiong's jerseys and sneakers were able to get Chen Yingxiong's jerseys and sneakers as soon as they were established...

But thinking about the relationship between Phil Gibbs and Chen Yingxiong, Chen Yingxiong was the first person to come out to support Phil Gibbs at that time. It should not be difficult for Chen Yingxiong to get his signature jersey and signature sneakers...

I heard that when Phil Gibbs was injured and hospitalized, Chen Yingxiong visited twice and sent out the team's signature jerseys and the team's signature football, which made many people envious. At that time, they were the ones who were stabbed twenty times in bed, not Phil Gibbs...

In short, there was Phil Gibbs, a fan idol, and two gifts from Chen Yingxiong. The establishment ceremony of the "Red Gibbs" was very successful. There were even media interviews and reports. Phil Gibbs, Tom Jackson and Adam Smith, the three founders, also talked about it in the face of reporters. After experiencing that incident, they have been in contact with the media many times and are now at ease to deal with it.

The next day, news about the establishment of the "Red Giant Bear" fan organization appeared in Liverpool's local newspapers and on Liverpool's official website. Although the article is not large, it is quite rare for the official website and the media to report specifically for the establishment of a fan organization.

Since its birth, the "Red Giant Bear" has been much better than its blue version organization far away in Italy. Not only does it have gifts from Chen Yingxiong, but also media reports.

At the same time, it also indirectly illustrates how popular and reputation Chen Yingxiong is now.

To put it bluntly, it is called "one person has achieved the power of the gods and the dogs ascend to heaven". Chen Yingxiong's current fame and reputation have benefited from his fan organization.

Now he is the most popular star on par with Gerald in Liverpool, but Gerald is old. If Chen Yingxiong can continue to stay in Liverpool and continue to perform like this, he surpasses Gerald to become the most popular star, and he doesn't even have to wait until Gerald retires...
