ball at foot

When the time comes to late June, the European Cup has almost entered the final stage.

England once again proved Owen's theorem: In any major game, Owen scores, and England must be eliminated.

France lost to Greece. Although it was considered an accident when it first lost, when Greece entered the final, France also accepted this unfortunate fact.There are rumors that the internal strife in the French team is already very severe, but whether it is really internal strife, Zhao Yaning does not know.Although he also has friends in the French team, Zhao Yaning still knows the depth of the locker room dispute, and he does not dare to ask this question.

At this time, Zhao Yaning also arrived in Liverpool and began to find a place for himself to live here.Zhang Yuan has almost done this matter. He bought a house for Zhao Yaning, and Zhao Yaning also moved into his new home.

And after he arrived in Liverpool, he soon saw the players who came to greet him-Gerrard, Carragher and Riise. [

It was no surprise to see them. Zhao Yaning had already figured it out, and they should be back at this time.Needless to say Riise, he will definitely not be able to play in the final, and England is already destined for the quarter-finals to the quarter-finals, so it is difficult to go further.Although the European Cup didn't end until July [-], Zhao Yaning had already estimated that they would have to come back early.Sure enough, he also guessed right.

After the meeting, Riise seemed very affectionate.After all, Riise also played for Monaco, and his relationship with him is quite different from others.

"Well done, boy, Monaco's triple crown has made me proud for a long time!" Riise was full of praise for Zhao Yaning, and kept asking questions.And Gerrard just kept smiling gently, watching him chatting with Riise, without saying anything.On the contrary, Carragher inserted a few words from time to time to draw a relationship with Zhao Yaning.

"I heard that you have to go to China to play in a few days?" After asking a few important words, Gerrard still spoke, "Have you talked to the coach?"

"I said..." Zhao Yaning replied, "Didn't the coach tell you?"

Gerrard shook his head, "The new coach seems to be more serious and doesn't like to chat with the players... He didn't tell me about this. When will your national team match end?"

"The Asian Cup and the Olympic Games will be at the end of August." Zhao Yaning replied.

Carragher frowned, but Gerrard nodded after thinking about it, "Just treat it as if you were transferred at the buzzer...it's no big deal. Don't worry, there won't be many games in August. You can't miss too much, when you come back, we will work hard for the championship together."

"That's right, I just missed three games." Riise also said, "But it seems that one of them is the game against Manchester City. Will your compatriots also participate in the game?"

Zhao Yaning nodded at this, "Our country attaches great importance to the Olympic Games. Since he is one of the best players in the national team, he must also come to the Olympic Games."

"That's good, he is in the Manchester City team, and he cooperates with Wright Phillips quite well. Let me do the math, you go to the Olympics. In this way, the most you can miss is Tottenham Hotspur. , Manchester City, and three games against Bolton. Then you will return to the team against West Bromwich Albion, and then the next game, we will play Manchester United." Gerrard calculated, "Very good! First warm up Just a moment, and then go to teach those guys a lesson, nothing better!"

"But the Champions League preliminaries on August 25 and August [-]..."

"If we don't have you alone, if we can't even win the preliminaries, what's the point of playing the main game?" Gerrard shook his head, "You can go to the national team game without worrying about it. The things here, Don’t worry about it. When you come back, recharge your batteries and play Manchester United.”

At this point, Riise took over the conversation and talked about the red derby with joy. Several people kept chatting, until the end, Gerald couldn't help but said, "I know maybe you still have something to do. I want to ask, but I'm sorry to ask...Michael is gone, next season, I will be the captain of this team."

Zhao Yaning was not surprised by this matter at all.After all, a rich team has its own face, and it is natural for a youth player to be the captain.Liverpool is not without other people who are more qualified, such as Hyypia, who used to be the captain of Liverpool. In 03, Owen replaced him as captain.But now, Owen is gone, but the captain's armband has not been returned to him, but in the hands of Gerrard.

"We know that this may be a bit difficult for you to accept. I thought it was to assist the European Footballer in the game. I wanted to use his strength to win the championship or bring some fame to myself. But in the end, you After he came, he left, and you became the most valuable person in our place. I thought Michael would help you, but in the end, we had to rely on your strength to push us forward." Speaking of For these, Gerrard's expression was a bit bitter, "However, I still hope that you can play well, even if we don't get any trophies, but the fans here really like every player on the field. Very good, we should pay them back. The club will build momentum for you in this year's Ballon d'Or selection, we don't ask for extra rewards, we just ask you to play well in every game you need to play..."

"Stephen," Zhao Yaning stopped him, "what do you mean by that? Do you think that I came here just to hold my thigh and play with Owen. Now that he is gone, I don't want to play for Liverpool. , don’t want to play football well?”

"That's not what I meant." Gerald waved his hands again and again.

"That's what he meant." Carragher said from the side, "Joy, let me tell the story. You know what's going on with Liverpool. There hasn't been a league championship for more than ten years. They have the names of giants, but they don't have anything. Emboldened. We have fallen, and we are no longer what we used to be. We used to have a European footballer, no matter how good he is, he can be regarded as an attractive thing, and now he has left. You come here, There are two thoughts, one is to find someone to join forces to win a championship - but unfortunately, Michael is gone. The other is to let the club help you build momentum and compete for the golden ball. This club can help you, but it is estimated that you will There is no drama. Your two biggest wishes have all come to nothing, and we don’t expect you to stay for a long time, but at least, don’t cause trouble when you play here.”[

What Carragher said made Zhao Yaning raise his head, "You misunderstood me. I am not here for the championship or fame. I am here for the simplest hope: I want to play football."

Carragher frowned, but Zhao Yaning continued, "Playing here is not as good as Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea. Of course I know this. But playing here, I play a greater role in the team. If you really have the idea of ​​winning the championship and fame you mentioned, I might as well go to La Liga or Serie A, where the fame is greater and there are many champions. Why should I come to the Premier League? I came here to play my own role, not to win a lot of champions who come here."

"But..." Carragher frowned and wanted to say something, but then stopped, "You are different from us, what we have played in our whole life is nothing, but you are not. At the age of 20, you are the top candidate for the Golden Globe Award Man, you are as talented as Michael, the more you win the championship, the more honors you can go further in the selection of the Golden Globes."

"But you have to rely on your own strength." Zhao Yaning said, "To be offensive, what I want is the well-deserved Golden Globe Award, not the kind of some people, which has no weight." If I don’t work hard on my own, but rely on sharing honors with others, my own reputation will not be very good, I’m afraid.”

These words made Carragher stop talking. Gerrard looked at Carragher and saved the situation, "Joy, it would be better if this is the case. You should deal with the national team game first. Here You don't have to worry too much about things. We have never had any Asian players, and no one has had Asian honors. Take one or two and add some glory to the club and let them know that Liverpool's new players , not to be trifled with!"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After Gerrard left, Liverpool also held a press conference in Liverpool to announce the arrival of Zhao Yaning.And his arrival made the media in England very excited: England's football environment is special, and it rarely attracts skilled players, especially this kind of genius who is destined for the Ballon d'Or at a young age, it is even more difficult for England get it.Generally speaking, South American players prefer Spain, and Europeans also prefer the environment in Southern Europe. After all, there are only a few people like Zhao Yaning who come to England.

"I'm very happy to be here at Liverpool, Liverpool is a great club, I've heard about this club since I was very young, it's an honor to play for Liverpool, to work with Benitez, to work with Jay I am also lucky to play with a good player like Ladd. I believe that the football environment in England will allow me to learn a lot and make me make great progress. And what I can give back to the team is more Champions, more football performances, more joy and more joy for our fans."

What Zhao Yaning said to the media was naturally prepared by Zhang Yuan and asked him to recite it according to the script.But what Zhao Yaning changed was a few of the words.

I have been a Liverpool fan since I was a child. This sentence was changed by Zhao Yaning.He himself still doesn't want to lie, he is not a Liverpool fan, he feels awkward talking like that.

He has always liked watching Serie A, but he has always watched everything. There is no team he really likes.After arriving in France, he has been in contact with Deschamps for a long time. He is not good at the style of play. Juventus, which he has always been somewhat repulsed by, has a little love. After all, Deschamps himself is a Juventus. When he speaks, He will always say good things for Juventus between the lines, and he has also changed under the influence of his ears and eyes.

But having said that, Zhao Yaning still admires Juventus more than he loves it.And the team he really likes, he knows, is only the red and white uniform with slashes and a comma collar around the neck, which is a bit strange but very good-looking.

Without contact, where does the feeling come from?On the first day of the transfer, did you say that the fans have been there for many years?In this case, Zhao Yaning couldn't say it.Becoming a fan has to be cultivated emotionally. Whether you can become a fan here depends on whether you can really integrate into this place.

Hope this can be my home.Hope, my choice is not wrong.
