Dalglish's contract was terminated early by the club, and he will be dismissed at the end of the season. This news has become the focus of much attention recently due to the hype of the English media.

Dalglish's importance to Liverpool is self-evident. He is the man revered as "King" by the Red Army fans. When he returned to coach Liverpool, he was almost the hope of all Liverpool fans.

Although the coaching performance this season is not satisfactory, everyone believes that it is also because the team suffered from injuries.

Gerrard, as the team's captain and soul, has been absent for a long time. Suarez was out for at least two months, and Chen Hero was suspended for six games.

The three biggest players are all out of commission. It would be strange if the results were good—these people choose to ignore the reality that even when Chen Hero and Suarez are on the field, the team's performance fluctuates...

Of course, it is easy to understand. No one wants to leave any stains on the image of an idol in their hearts. They would rather believe that this or that reason caused the "King" to be unable to exert his strength, even if he had a genius, he could do nothing. They are also unwilling to calmly think about what kind of brilliant plan Dalglish, who has been away from the head coach position for twelve years, can bring them...

But running a club can't just rely on relationships, and sometimes indecision can lead to endless troubles.

In fact, Liverpool's decline in recent years has been very obvious. Not to mention Dalglish, it is estimated that even if Mourinho came, it would be useless.

Dalglish was able to lead the team to successfully avoid relegation last season, which is already very good.

The problem with this team is definitely not just the head coach's problem.

But the head coach is indeed the easiest problem to solve...

Therefore, Dalglish's dismissal is imperative. The team needs a new head coach and a major overhaul. An old era, marked by the 2005 Champions League final that Liverpool fans used to talk about, is coming to an end, and a new era must arrive.

Even Dalglish's opponent, Ferguson, regretted Dalglish's departure. In an interview, he said that Liverpool's decision was a bit cruel, and Dalglish should not have received this result.

Other Premier League coaches also sent their blessings to Dalglish.

Within Liverpool's team, the players have also recovered from the shock. Gerrard said that he could not understand the decision made by the club's top management. He believed that Dalglish was a very good coach, and they were just lacking some luck...

Carragher also praised Dalglish and wished him good luck.

However, most people probably don't have much feeling about Dalglish's departure, because they didn't come from Liverpool's youth training camp. They don't feel deeply about Liverpool's past glory, and they are not interested in Dalglish's historical status in Liverpool.

What they care more about is whether they will still have a place in this team if the team changes to a new head coach next season. Whether the new head coach has the ability and whether he is easy to get along with...

Some people are not worried about these problems, because no matter who comes, they will definitely be the main players.

For example, Chen Hero...

Chen Hero was the first to express his opinion on Dalglish's departure, and he didn't talk about it after that. It was as if Dalglish's departure had nothing to do with him.

Suspended for six games, he devoted himself to grinding dungeons during this time.

He has now obtained two new missions.

One mission is a short-term mission, with restrictions, called "The Return of the King", which requires him to score at least two goals in the first game after his return. The difficulty of the mission is yellow, which is the type that can be completed, but requires some effort. If it exceeds this time, such as scoring two goals in the second game after his return, the mission will be considered a failure. In addition to experience, there is nothing else to reward for the success of the mission. It is a relatively tasteless mission. If you want to complete it, you can do it. If you are not interested in doing it, or you feel that the gain is not proportional to the comeback, then don't do it.

Another mission is a long-term mission, which also has a time limit—lasting until the end of the season at most. The mission is called "A Farewell Gift to the King", which requires Chen Hero to help the team win a championship this season as a farewell gift to the "King" Dalglish who is about to leave. In addition to experience, this mission also has two extra rewards, which is considered relatively generous.

Chen Hero's eyes lit up when he saw it.

The first extra reward is a skill called "'King's' Back View", the specific description is: improves the ability to control the ball with your back to the goal, and it will be more difficult for opponents to steal the ball from your feet. This skill obviously has an allusion. Dalglish's unique back-to-the-goal ball control skills during his playing career were once praised. At that time, he created a new way of playing, using his back to protect the ball and turn around to shoot—this kind of play is now common on the football field, and even a necessary skill for many excellent shooters, but at that time, in the early 1970s, it was still very epoch-making. It's like the Cruyff turn. Now any player can do it, but Cruyff invented it and carried it forward, so this technical action is named after him.

Later, Arsenal's main center-back David O'Leary recalled: "It's like he hid the ball. No matter what angle you look at it from, you can only see his back. It's almost impossible to steal the ball."

Chen Hero's ability to receive the ball with his back to the goal and shoot has already been honed and become good. If he gets this skill again, his back-to-the-goal ball control can be regarded as a masterpiece.

Chen Hero obviously also knows how much this skill will improve him, and now he is even more motivated...

The other reward is to add the intelligent player Dalglish to Chen Hero's virtual team—this is Dalglish at his peak. He will form a teammate with Chen Hero in the virtual copy, train with him, help him, and improve him. Chen Hero can also choose to become his apprentice.

Speaking of missions, Chen Hero finally completed the mission called "Integrate into the Team". He has gained friendly relationships with more than half of the players in the team. At the same time, he has made three teammates who can be called good friends. They are Skrtel, Adam Johnson and... Suarez.

Chen Hero successfully won over Suarez, but no longer wanted to become friends with Suarez out of utilitarianism.

His actions on the field to help Suarez get justice completely won Suarez's heart. So when Chen Hero was deeply involved in the "racism gate", he stood up to express his support for Chen Hero. It was at this time that Chen Hero completed the mission.

This was already in December... So the extra reward for completing the mission is only 10% left, which is not bad. There is a 10% assist success rate. If it is delayed until January, this extra talent will be completely gone. Then this mission will also become a gray garbage mission, and it doesn't matter whether you do it or not.

On December 18th, Liverpool Football Club officially announced that Dalglish would leave after the end of the season. In the first league game after the news, Dalglish was still sitting on the coach's bench, Chen Hero was still suspended, and Gerrard and Suarez were still absent due to injuries.

In this game, Liverpool broke out with great fighting power, and they defeated Aston Villa 2:0 away. It stopped the team's continued decline.

After the game, captain Carragher said that this victory was dedicated to Dalglish by the whole team. And the team will continue to fight like this in the games after this season.

It is worth mentioning that in this game, Adam Johnson, who had not been given a chance to play before, started, and Henderson was put on the bench. And the team's second goal was scored by Kuyt with an assist from Adam Johnson.

After the game, the media believed that this was Dalglish bowing his head. He admitted his previous mistakes and actively corrected them. Maybe this is a sign that Liverpool will get better...

In the seventeenth round of the league on the 21st, Liverpool was tied by Wigan Athletic away. Neither side scored. The loss of three offensive players in one go, two of whom are main forwards, has a great impact on Liverpool's offensive strength.

Fortunately, Stoke City lost to Manchester City, and the gap between the two teams did not change. Newcastle also lost to West Bromwich Albion, also only one point ahead of Liverpool.

The situation has not gotten worse, which is the only result that Dalglish can be gratified about.

At the same time, good news is gradually coming. This is the fifth game of Chen Hero's suspension, including four league games and one League Cup game.

With one game left, he will be released from the ban and return. It is believed that with his powerful firepower, Liverpool's second half of the season is still worth looking forward to.

On December 26th, the first day after Christmas, Liverpool welcomed Blackburn at home.

Perhaps the schedule was too dense, or perhaps everyone's thoughts were still on the Christmas Eve dinner. In short... Liverpool scored two goals at their home, but eventually lost to Blackburn 1:2. This sounds very strange—why did they score two goals, but lost 1:2 instead? That's because one of the two goals Liverpool scored was an own goal... Carragher became the unlucky guy.

Even luck is not on Liverpool's side. The commentators at the scene exclaimed after Carragher scored an own goal in the 84th minute of the game, breaking the 1:1 tie that had lasted for 30 minutes: "Even God has abandoned Liverpool!"

After the game, the disappointment and frustration on the faces of every Liverpool player were hard to hide.

The TV broadcast also knew what was going on, and gave a close-up of every Liverpool player and head coach Dalglish. Starting from head coach Dalglish, every face that appeared in the camera was mixed with confusion, anxiety, unwillingness, frustration, disappointment and pain.

Dalglish has been dismissed by the club in advance, and they also said that they would use practical actions to express their support for Dalglish, but they only won one game, and the other games were either draws or losses. Where is there any support for their head coach? Instead, they pushed him into the fire pit again, confirming the rumors that Dalglish's coaching level was low...

"I have never seen such a confused and desperate Liverpool. Why is Liverpool Liverpool? It's because this is a team that never gives up. Think about the night in Istanbul in 2005! That's the best benchmark of the Liverpool spirit! But today's Liverpool can't find any of the original energy... Even 'King' Kenny Dalglish can't instill this spirit into the team. This is the biggest tragedy of Liverpool. They need someone to lift up the Red Army flag that has fallen into the mud again, wash it clean, and then insert it into the position to let it fly in the wind again!"

After the Liverpool commentator finished saying this, the camera of the game broadcast gave a close-up of Chen Hero's face. He watched this game from the stands of Anfield Stadium.

This is a coincidence, because the TV station responsible for the TV broadcast is not Liverpool's TV station, and Liverpool's commentators are only using this broadcast signal to say their own things.

This shot from Sky TV is just to tell everyone—in the next game, Chen Hero will end his six-game suspension and return!

The old Liverpool commentator was stunned for a moment after seeing this coincidence. This is of course a coincidence, but... is it not a coincidence?
