Chapter 1 After Six Years

When Liverpool lifted the European Champions Cup again after six years, half of Liverpool went crazy.

When the Liverpool team returned, they were worshiped by Liverpool fans.

Even though a week had passed since that grand welcome ceremony and parade, many people's hearts were still in that scene.

In the years to come, it will surely become a lively scene that Liverpool fans will enjoy talking about for a long time.

Using a European Champions Cup to punctuate Chen Yingxiong's career is truly the best possible ending.

Many media outlets praised Chen Yingxiong's outstanding performance in this final, saying he was fully worthy of being called a "legend."

A forty-one-year-old player led the team to a 6-0 victory over Barcelona in the Champions League final, the highest stage in European football, and touched the European Champions Cup. Such an achievement, let alone a forty-one-year-old, even someone in their prime might not be able to do it!

Chen Yingxiong engraved his name in everyone's heart with this game.

Whether you hate him or not, you must admire his ability and performance.

People who can do such things should not be insulted.

But that's impossible, because Chen Yingxiong, such a controversial person, will always have two extreme voices around him.

After the game, Barcelona's Quique simply broke face with Chen Yingxiong, saying that Chen Yingxiong and Liverpool's era had come to an end. Even if Barcelona lost this game, the future belonged to him and Barcelona.

His approach aroused the disdain of many neutral fans.

Because Quique's sarcastic remarks about Chen Yingxiong before the game, and then his cynical remarks about Chen Yingxiong after losing the game, had completely destroyed his previous image. Now Quique is directly equated with "hypocrite." In China, Chinese fans have given him the nickname "Yue Buqun," and they directly call him "Yue Buqun" when they talk about Quique. This is Chinese fans' own slang.

In addition, some media also believe that although Chen Yingxiong led the team to the Champions League title at the age of forty-one, the achievement is very remarkable, but this will indeed be Liverpool's swan song. This game vividly reflects Liverpool's dependence on Chen Yingxiong.

After Chen Yingxiong retires, Liverpool's combat effectiveness will definitely be greatly reduced.

At that time, it would be strange if Liverpool were not bullied. Not to mention defending the Champions League and league titles.

They said that they were definitely not trying to criticize Chen Yingxiong and Liverpool at this time. It's just that these are natural laws, and they are just stating the natural laws.

Fans can naturally be fanatical, but media people must be calm.

So a group of calm media people poured cold water on the heads of Liverpool fans in a particularly aloof manner, telling them not to be happy, your hero is leaving, and once he leaves, you will all be idiots.

This is really disgusting.

But there's nothing to be done about it, because Chen Yingxiong is really leaving.

A week after the final, Chen Yingxiong made no move.

Everyone thought he had retired directly.

But at this time, many media received an invitation letter from Chen Yingxiong's agent, Decula, inviting them to attend a press conference held on Tuesday.

The invitation letter did not reveal the specific content of the invitation to reporters, but everyone could guess - it must be related to retirement.

It seems that Chen Yingxiong will announce his official retirement at this press conference.

Those pro-Liverpool and Chen Yingxiong reporters couldn't help but feel sad when they received this invitation - although it was delayed for so long, this day has finally come.

And those media who have been criticizing Chen Yingxiong and Liverpool were overjoyed - finally waiting for this day, that old undead is finally going to get out!

The same goes for fans.

Chen Yingxiong's fans are very sad, while the fans who hate Chen Yingxiong are as happy as if it's the New Year.

For a time, the media and the Internet were filled with these two completely different emotions.

But overall, those who criticize Chen Yingxiong have the upper hand, because they are about to win.

Especially those Barcelona fans, who were defeated by Chen Yingxiong again in the Champions League final, almost suffocated with this anger. Now they have finally found an opportunity to get back a city, how can they not take advantage of it?

And the fans of Giovanni Leon Amoruso also added insult to injury, saying that Chen Yingxiong should have gotten out a long time ago, and the football world will be Amoruso's world next.

As a result, they attracted the siege of Quique's fans, who said that Amoruso was nothing, and Quique, who came from a famous family, was the real chosen one!

The fans of both sides started a melee again, which was really lively...

※※※

Chen Xing and Niang also received invitation letters.

Receiving this invitation letter, they could only sigh.

In the past year, they had tried their best, but they couldn't persuade Chen Yingxiong to change his mind.

Now this day has finally come, Chen Yingxiong is about to announce his retirement!

Chen Xing once said that the day he signed Chen Yingxiong was the brightest day in his and even Liverpool's history, then the day Chen Yingxiong announced his official retirement was the darkest day in his and Liverpool's history!

One person used eighteen years to completely integrate his personal style into the team. This is something that few people in today's football world can do.

The world football world is not short of loyal ministers, and Liverpool has also cultivated several loyal ministers who have only played for one team in their lives.

If calculated according to this standard, Chen Yingxiong is not even considered a loyal minister.

But no matter how many loyal ministers there are, how many can still sit firmly in the team's main position and become the core in the late stage of their career?

Very few.

Then how many can lead the team to win the league title and Champions League title at the age of forty-one?

Only Chen Yingxiong.

How many people can turn their style and temperament into the style and temperament of the team?

Only Chen Yingxiong.

Therefore, Chen Yingxiong is no longer just a "loyal minister" to Liverpool.

Chen Yingxiong's departure really means the end of an era.

It also means that Liverpool will re-enter a period of dormancy...

※※※

The news that Chen Yingxiong was going to hold a press conference was quickly spread by the media.

This time it was particularly strange. Chen Yingxiong's invitation letter was not only sent to those media who had a good relationship with him, but also to those media who had a very general or even bad relationship with him, including that Newman. Giss person also received an invitation letter.

That's why there are so many voices criticizing Chen Yingxiong.

Because they also knew about this.

Chen Yingxiong's actions made many people unable to see through.

They didn't understand why Chen Yingxiong wanted to give those media who never said good things about him the opportunity to attend such an important press conference. Isn't this sending news to those media?

Why is he so generous to those media who hate him?

Doesn't he know that those media have been gloating over his retirement these days?

Does he want those media to gloat in front of him on the spot?

With Chen Yingxiong's temper, he is definitely not someone who can smile and let bygones be bygones with his enemies. If you become an enemy with him, you will be an enemy for life.

Over the years, he has not forgiven a single person who offended him.

Everyone doesn't believe that he will play some kind of dog-blood drama like "smile and let bygones be bygones" at his retirement press conference.

Then what is he doing inviting these people here?

It can't bring him any benefits, but instead adds to his troubles. Did Chen Yingxiong suddenly become a masochist?

But no matter why Chen Yingxiong did this, his approach did give those media a chance to watch the fun.

The media who hated Chen Yingxiong didn't expect to receive an invitation letter at first.

But since Chen Yingxiong is so ignorant of death to invite them, they will naturally not be polite.

Being able to see Chen Yingxiong's dejected look on the spot is also a kind of enjoyment...

※※※

Tuesday came quickly.

In the press conference hall of Stanley Park Stadium, hundreds of reporters from all over the world gathered, filling the not-so-small press conference site.

In the back row of the press conference hall, various TV station cameras were crowded. At least seventy-six TV media around the world will broadcast this press conference live. Ensure that everyone in the world can see this highly anticipated press conference.

The protagonist has not yet appeared, and everyone is talking about it. They are not guessing the purpose of Chen Yingxiong calling them here. They are discussing what Liverpool will do after Chen Yingxiong retires.

The pro-Liverpool media feel that the future is dark, while those who criticize Liverpool are gloating. If it weren't for the fact that this is someone else's territory, they would be afraid of being beaten, they would have shown it long ago.

Now, they can only secretly enjoy themselves in their hearts. Looking at each other, they can see the fleeting gloating in each other's eyes.

When the stipulated time arrived, Chen Yingxiong appeared at the press conference accompanied by Chen Xing and Niang, as well as coach Gerrard.

The scene instantly quieted down.

Everyone quickly returned to their seats, looked at Chen Yingxiong, and waited for the start of the press conference.

The Liverpool club's press officer saw that everyone was seated, and announced that the press conference officially began.

Chen Yingxiong glanced at the various microphones and recorders and mobile phones in communication mode placed in front of him, which filled the entire table.

Then he began to say: "This is a press conference, so I will only speak and will not accept any interviews from any reporters in any form."

After stating this, he stopped and looked at everyone present with an interested look.

Everyone gradually felt a little apprehensive about being watched by him, and didn't know what he meant.

Just when many people were about to lose patience, he suddenly smiled, smiling particularly brightly.

Damn it, so many reporters really came! This is the moment I've been waiting for!

※※※

It made people feel apprehensive when he looked at them, and now it makes people feel apprehensive when he smiles.

Chen Yingxiong's performance today made many reporters feel apprehensive from the beginning, and they didn't know what was going on.

Could it be that he is about to announce his retirement and cannot accept this fact for a while, and has gone crazy?

Don't make international jokes!

Fortunately, at this time, Chen Yingxiong spoke again.

"I know everyone is here to witness a great historical moment."

A reporter curled his lips below: Do you really think you're a big deal? What historical moment is your retirement?

The reporters' disdainful expressions fell into Chen Yingxiong's eyes without any concealment. They were here to make trouble, so naturally there was no need to conceal anything.

"At this moment, my mood is the same as yours, very excited."

Someone couldn't help but laugh silently again: You're about to retire, what's there to be excited about! Excited for retirement? It's really laughable!

"I remember there was a guy in Brazil who said that he came to Manchester United to break all the records I created in Liverpool. I also remember there was a guy in Barcelona who said that I should finish my last game without nonsense and get out of here quickly. I also remember that many of you present said that Liverpool's dynasty has collapsed, and my era of Chen Yingxiong is coming to an end. I still remember these words. Of course, I also remember the voices from the stands of Stanley Park Stadium telling me not to leave. I also remember that I said that Liverpool will still be the Premier League champion in the future. Therefore, I naturally remember your reaction to my words."

As Chen Yingxiong spoke, the smile on his face became particularly bright.

It's time to reveal the answer.

"I invited you media, but I also hope that the guy from Brazil and the guy from Barcelona can watch today's live broadcast... because I have a message to tell them."

Speaking of this, he smiled brightly at the camera and said, "Sorry to disappoint you. I suddenly changed my mind, and I don't want to retire anymore!"

After Chen Yingxiong said this, everyone present was stunned for a few seconds before suddenly reacting - what did Chen Yingxiong say? He said he didn't want to retire anymore? This is not true, is it? Did we hear wrong?

At this time, Chen Yingxiong's voice came again.

"You don't have to doubt your ears. I have decided to renew my contract with Liverpool. As for the specific time... I'll talk about it later!"

Chen Xing, Niang, and Gerrard, who were sitting next to Chen Yingxiong, looked at Chen Yingxiong with surprise and joy in their eyes. Their faces were full of disbelief, but they couldn't hide the ecstasy in their hearts. These two different emotions were intertwined and harmoniously unified.

Chen Yingxiong turned his head, looked at them, and nodded with a smile: "I'm sorry I didn't notify you first, because I wanted to give them a 'surprise' first. I hope you like it."

He pointed to the reporters under the stage, especially those who were criticizing him, and emphasized the word "surprise."

Those reporters who came with the mentality of watching Chen Yingxiong's jokes had extremely ugly faces at this time!

They thought they were here to watch Chen Yingxiong's jokes, but they became the jokes and were watched enough by Chen Yingxiong!

They traveled thousands of miles, came from all over the world, bought air tickets at their own expense, booked hotels, but in the end they were used as a joke by Chen Yingxiong and ridiculed!

Some people's eyes went dark and they almost fainted from this blow.

Then Chen Yingxiong pointed to the camera and said: "Want to break my record? Want to kick me away and create a new era? Okay, okay, then let me see your skills, you little bastards! Don't be cowards!"

He stood up, faced the camera, and laughed loudly at the panicked reporters below.

Chen Xing, who was sitting next to him, suddenly felt that today was still the most beautiful day in Liverpool's history and in his life when he saw Chen Yingxiong laughing with his hands on his hips, but for European football, today was probably the darkest day!

Because the Chen Yingxiong who made everyone feel fear, helpless, and thought they could only defeat him with time, actually defeated time and killed him again!

How terrifying would a man who could not be defeated by time be...

The press conference site was already in a mess. All the reporters took out their mobile phones and desperately made phone calls to notify the news. This is news that is shocking enough to the world... But these reporters were obviously frightened, because they all forgot that this press conference was being broadcast live. There is no need for them to call to notify, now the whole world knows the news that Chen Yingxiong will continue to play.

Chen Yingxiong looked at them, smiled without saying a word. Then he turned to Chen Xing, Niang and Gerrard and said, "I think we can start discussing the renewal of the contract..."

※※※

The Great Demon King Chen Yingxiong killed a beautiful carbine, knocking all the enemies off their horses. Then he turned around gracefully and gradually moved away, leaving only his terrifying laughter that made people tremble...

This is the immortal legend of Chen Yingxiong.

Heroes, never grow old!
