Chapter 171: Tying the record? Can and cannot (Second update, please vote for me)

Liverpool slaughtered Hull City away from home. (《》)

In the next thirty-seventh round of the league, Martin O'Neill intensified his efforts. This time he completely abandoned the substitute players of the first team and used the reserve team plus a combination of Chen Yingxiong to face West Ham United at home. .

The implications of preparing for the FA Cup final are clear.

However, after the last game, West Ham United did not dare to underestimate this team, even though Allardyce was very unhappy with Martin O'Neill's arrangement. But he didn't dare to underestimate the opponent - it would be really embarrassing if he lost to such a team by a big score.

In the last game, Hull City lost miserably to Liverpool at their home court and have become the laughing stock of many people. It is said that they can't even beat a motley team that was cobbled together. It's no wonder that such a team was not able to stay in the Premier League in the end.

West Ham United, which was cautious and went all out, met the Liverpool reserve team who also went all out.

The morale of the reserve team has the upper hand, but West Ham United's strength has a slight advantage.

In the end, the two sides tied at 2:2.

Chen Yingxiong scored twice in the game.

He also has 57 league goals in a single season - the same number he scored last season.

The draw between the two teams after the game and the performance of Liverpool's reserve team were forgotten by the media. At this time, Chen Yingxiong was the only protagonist.

The media all over England, all over China, and even all over Europe are talking about Chen Yingxiong's fifty-seven goals.

There is one round left before the end of the league. He only needs a hat trick to tie Dixie Dean's record.

Sixty goals in a single season!

This is really an inhuman record!

You know, when Dixie Dean set this record, football was still very imperfect. There were almost no tactics at all. The defense was completely chasing the football. The modification of offside tactics also promoted the production of goals, so Scoring goals is easy. At that time, big-scoring games often appeared, and he scored a lot of goals in the seasons before and after the 1927-1928 season when he set the record. Blackburn forward Ted Harper, the top scorer in the 1925-1926 season, scored 43 goals, and Jimmy Trotter, the top scorer in the following season, scored 37 goals. The top scorer in the 1928-1929 season was Sunderland's David Halliday, who scored 43 goals. In the 1929-1930 season, Vic Watson scored 41 goals. In the 1930-1931 season, Tom Varlin scored 49 goals, and the top scorer the following season was still Dixie Dean, who scored 44 goals.

But it’s different now. At this point in the development of modern football, defensive tactics have become increasingly perfect, and offside rules have become more and more stringent. In addition, players’ physical fitness has been greatly improved, their defensive abilities have increased, and it has become more difficult to score goals. It's getting bigger and bigger.

Under such circumstances, can Chen Yingxue still score 60 goals in a season?

You must know that even people like Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo only score 55 league goals in a season. This is still their peak ability.

They haven't had anything like this since.

Can Chen Yingxiong do what even these two people can't do?

Of course, Chen Yingxiong is already better than them, because in terms of the number of league goals in a single season, Chen Yingxiong has surpassed the two of them. After all, they only scored fifty-five goals at most, and Chen Yingxiong had scored 55 goals before that. Fifty-seven goals have been scored.

Now he is only three goals away from tying the amazing record set by Dixie Dean.

The English media have been discussing this topic all day long. They are mainly divided into two groups. One group believes that it is impossible for Chen Yingxiong to tie Dixie Dean's record. The other group believes that Chen Yingxiong can tie the record very easily. A hat trick will do. .

Both sides' arguments make sense. After all, it is very difficult to tie the record. It is difficult to score a hat trick even in a normal game, let alone a game with such a lot of pressure. But where does Chen Yingxiong's strength lie? He has surprised people many times in the past. ""When you think it's impossible for him to do it, he insists on doing it, and not only does it, he also does it beautifully!

Chinese media are also having a big discussion. Not only the media, but also Chinese fans and netizens are also discussing this matter on the Internet.

However, most of the Chinese compatriots cheer for Chen Yingxiong, and there are not many who question or doubt him. After all, we are all compatriots, so how can we dismantle our own people?

European media are also paying attention to this matter.

Their angle is not that Chen Yingxiong can tie the record. Because Chen Yingxiong is actually good enough.

Fifty-seven league goals have been scored for two consecutive seasons. If it were just for one season, some would say it was luck. Although he was very strong, he was not that strong. Just like when Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo scored more than 50 goals in the league, everyone performed the same way. While cheering for them, they also pointed out that such a crazy number of goals could not be achieved every year. Available every year. Sure enough, they scored fewer goals the following season. Although there are more than 40 per season, the situation of more than 50 has never happened again.

Therefore, when Chen Yingxiong finally scored 57 goals last season, many people exclaimed how powerful Chen Yingxiong was, but they also felt that this result was due to luck. Just because he can score 57 league goals this season does not mean that he can score 57 league goals next season...

Who would have thought that in the next season, Chen Yingxiong would actually do it! And achieved the goal one round ahead of schedule.

This silenced those who thought Chen Yingxiong was lucky - luck, what kind of luck could allow him to score fifty-seven goals for two consecutive seasons?

In front of Chen Yingxiong's strength, they had to bow their heads. It was strength, strong strength that allowed Chen Yingxiong to score 57 league goals for two consecutive seasons.

So does he still have the strength to tie the legendary record of 60 goals?

All eyes were focused on Chen Yingxiong and the last game.

In the last game, Newcastle faced Liverpool at home.

This is not an easy game, because Newcastle is ranked sixth this season, their results are very good, and they are playing at home. The combat effectiveness is doubled compared to the away game.

If Chen Yingxiong wants to tie the record, he has to score a hat trick in the game. If he wants to break the record, he must at least have a big four.

The level of difficulty is staggering.

It is no wonder that many media think it is difficult for Chen Yingxiong to tie the record, and it is even more impossible to break the record. Therefore, everyone just said "tied the record" and never said "breaking the record".

If he only needs to score twice, many people would be confident in Chen Yingxiong. Because Chen Yingxiong has a nickname called "Mr. Scoring", which shows that he is really good at scoring twice.

This season, excluding the double score in the hat trick, Chen Yingxiong has scored twice, accounting for nearly one-third of the entire 38 league games. This is a very terrifying result. .

As for hat tricks, he completed six this season, and he also scored six last season, which are both the best in history. Therefore, when it comes to tying the record, there are still many people who hold different opinions and think that Chen Yingxiong can make it big. Their reason is precisely this data.

But to break the record...

Chen Yingxiong has not even hit four big hits this season.

So everyone felt that it was too difficult to complete the Big Four in the last game, and no one mentioned it at all.

※※※

In the game against Newcastle, Martin O'Neill did not let the entire reserve team add Chen Yingxiong to the away game. He added several reserve team players and also allowed the main players of the first team to start.

This does not mean that he is afraid of Newcastle, or that he intends to create a chance for Chen Yingxiong to perform a hat trick at all costs.

But because this is the last game for the first team before the Champions League final - there is nothing for the first team in the FA Cup final - in order to give the first team players who have not played in the two league rounds a chance to play, find Looking for form, the first team must appear in this game.

At the same time, he also considered the FA Cup final, so he did not use all the first-team players, but retained some reserve team players.

In this way, he took a patchwork team north to Newcastle to challenge the local local leader Newcastle United.

"I know Hero is only three goals away from tying Dixie Dean's record. We're not going to let him get that. To score 57 goals in two consecutive seasons is amazing, but to score 60 A goal? Let’s wait for next season!”

Newcastle United head coach Alan Pardew said in an interview with reporters.

He didn't say this to deliberately anger Chen Yingxiong, he had to say this because he really didn't want his team to become a foil for Chen Yingxiong's record-breaking.

No one wants it.

For the side that set the record, it was a great historical moment that deserves to be remembered forever and then talked about again and again.

But for their opponents, it is embarrassing, because when others talk about the record set by Chen Yingxiong, they will never forget to say: "He set this record in a game against Newcastle United." …”

Who wants to be recorded in history like this!

Not only is Newcastle United's head coach unwilling, but the Newcastle United players have also expressed that they will not let Chen Yingxiong get his wish.

"At critical moments, I don't mind using fouls to stop him!" Newcastle's main center back Stephen Taylor said bluntly that he would use some unsportsmanlike actions to stop Chen Yingxiong.

The reporters were a little surprised when they heard him say this. Although everyone did this, it was still very rare to say it so nakedly.

They asked: "Even if you get a card for this? A red card?"

Taylor nodded vigorously: "Yes! No matter what the cost, I will not allow him to tie the record in front of me!"

Seeing Taylor's decisive look, many reporters took a breath.

It seems that this game is not easy for Chen Yingxiong to play, definitely not easy to play!
