"How are you going to spend Christmas?"

When returning to the UK, Zhao Yaning did not get off the plane from Lennon Airport, but made a detour to London to visit Beibei there. lngn

In a few days, it will be Zhao Yaning's first Christmas since he came to the Premier League.Zhao Yaning also wanted to ask Beibei how she planned to spend the holidays.

"When did you start celebrating Christmas? I don't have this habit." Beibei rolled his eyes at Zhao Yaning, "Don't put on makeup for me, I don't know what you think? I really want you to stay with me, you what?"

Zhao Yaning could only smile wryly at this, "After all, the child just..."

"Don't tell me, I told you I don't want to hear it." Beibei shook her head, "Go and do what you want, no one is stopping you. I have other arrangements for Christmas."

"What arrangement?" Zhao Yaning was a little puzzled.

"I'm working at HJ now." Beibei said, "Volunteer. During Christmas, we have activities and will be very busy, so I don't have time to talk to you."

"What kind of job do you do? Also, what is hj?"

This sentence made Beibei laugh, "You are still a Liverpool star, hj doesn't even know, be careful the fans beat you up. Go back to the club and ask, you will know."

Beibei refused to say, and Zhao Yaning couldn't ask.After he returned to the club, Gerrard called him into the locker room before he had time to ask questions.

"According to club tradition, we have a party at Christmas, and I want to discuss with you how to hold the party."

"Anyway, the party you prepared is really surprising." Carragher complained, "Just say what you mean."

"I mean... I think, there are 20 of us, from thirteen different countries. England, Ireland, France, Spain, Germany, Norway, Finland, Poland, Czech Republic... IMHO, we usually communicate too much. Less, I think, this is a good opportunity for us to improve our communication."

"Get to the point," Carragher said.

"We don't bring our girlfriends and wives to this party, just us men, get together, have a drink, and chat."

"Looking for some strippers?" The pair on the side asked again.

"Someone here is married, so I don't want it anymore." Gerrard said with a wry smile.

"More than 20 men gathered together, just drinking and chatting." Reese looked at Gerald, "Stephen, if we really do that, then we don't need girlfriends, and we can just find boyfriends. "

"That's what I want to say: let's go to a gay drink." Gerrard waved his hand, "Everyone is a star player, and they are usually too reserved. So I think, let's go to a place where we can let everyone Everyone is happy, or it’s better to be uncomfortable. I believe that having a party there will be of great help to our team.”——

"I regret coming here after listening to Stephen's words. Who are the people here?" Sitting next to the stage, Carragher said to Zhao Yaning, "How could he think of such a place?"

"I think the place he's looking for is very interesting." Zhao Yaning said, "Didn't you notice? Our teammates are all chatting with each other now. None of them want to chat with anyone else here. Captain The place I found is very creative, and it’s impossible for everyone to communicate with each other here.”

This sentence made Carragher tilt his head and think for a while, "You are right, I really don't want to chat with other people... Stephen's idea is really genius."

"It's also forced, we usually communicate too little." Zhao Yaning said, "Vice captain, I think I should say something. I always feel that our atmosphere is very strange. When our players are on the court , especially when we are behind, we will work very hard and cooperate with each other. But when we leave the court, we don't talk to each other. I don't know how to say it... It seems that the atmosphere of our team is not like a normal team. team atmosphere.”[

"That's because everyone is in a state of panic." Carragher said, "The team owes foreign debts, and the remaining players will have to be sold by the team one day. And the new coach has come in. Taiwan, keep buying Spaniards, no one knows if there will be a big purge in the team. Everyone is worried about their future, who is in the mood to chat? That is to say, Liverpool has always been good to players. The quality of the players is also high enough. Up to now, no one is not dedicated to the game. But after leaving the stadium, who knows what will happen tomorrow? Naturally, they are unwilling to communicate."

Zhao Yaning also sighed, for such a long time, he also knows something about the team.

In the Houllier era, in order to build a lineup around Irving, the team drove away technical players and built a defensive lineup.Houllier is indeed a good coach. He built Liverpool's defense line. Riise, Finnan, Hyypia and Henjozi are four outstanding defenders. None of them is worth more than ten million. Such a buyer can be said is top notch.

But his attempt to Frenchize Liverpool was a complete failure.Except for Riise, basically none of the Ligue [-] players he introduced were kicked out, and these people have now become a huge burden for Liverpool.

The new coach is now going to Hispanize again.With the precedent of Houllier, it is hard to say that it is not worrying.And more importantly, if he really does that, that is to say, the team will inevitably face cleaning.

Diouf has been loaned out, and Heskey and Murphy have been sent away this summer.Dior also lost his position.Neither Traore nor Warnock had much chance, nor did Pangele and Melo.Among the veterans, Henchoz, Harman and Smicer are also in danger of being purged.Even Dudek once said he wanted to leave.

If these people really don't have any feelings for Liverpool, it's no big deal to just leave.But although Liverpool is poor and abject, there is still a club culture.After Zhao Yaning came here, he found that the club has a lot of meticulous care for all aspects of the players’ lives. It doesn’t cost a lot of money, but it really makes people feel warm. At least, in this team, those who really want to leave People, not many.

This is also the reason why everyone feels uncomfortable and they don't want to leave.

"To be honest, I don't hate the current coach very much." Carragher said, "He is a good coach. If it weren't for him, my career would not be so smooth. He put me in the central defender position. He helped me a lot. However, I really don't want to see any major changes in the team. After one toss, the team changes a little. Who knows when will this kind of ruckus be? Today the French help, tomorrow The Spanish gang, in two days, the Italian gang? The German gang? After all, it’s not all Liverpool gangs, what’s the point of dividing them.”

Zhao Yaning didn't know what to say, "If you don't break, you can't stand... If you want to reorganize, you have to buy and sell."

"I know, but Danny has been playing with us for almost ten years... No matter how you say it, you can't just drive him away. And, what if you can't stand up?" Carragher shook his head, "I haven't had a few years to toss , and I am different from you, you can go your separate ways when the time comes, but I can't..."

"Jimmy, don't you have too little confidence in us?"

"You are full of honors at a young age, and you have never experienced it. Liverpool has come here through ups and downs these years. How can I be confident?"

"Jimmy, I don't think you should lose confidence." Zhao Yaning said, "You, me, Stephen, Harvey, the old captain, Louis, Harry, our level is not bad. The coach is a good coach. will become stronger."

"When Houllier came, I thought so too."

"Jimmy, if you don't even have such a little confidence, why do you want to win the championship? If you look forward and backward, there will always be problems."

Carragher shook his head lightly, "You're right, but I'm just worried. I know you've chosen the right one, and Stephen also thinks the same way, so he took the initiative to let everyone communicate. You see, isn't he How about chatting with Alonso. He is a good captain, he has no courage, but he really thinks about the team."

"Yeah," Zhao Yaning nodded. Gerrard's temper was indeed not hard enough to control in the locker room, but he was a very nice person, and no one would doubt that.

"It's almost time, it's time to go back." Carragher patted him, "Someone got too drunk, Yerzi started to dance... He dances really badly. Don't embarrass him, call him, leave."

Zhao Yaning smiled and said nothing superfluous.After this night of communication, everyone has revealed their true feelings, and the goal has been achieved, and it is indeed time to leave

"What are you doing?" Carragher patted Gerrard.

"We're making a bet." Alonso answered, "Stephen and I are betting, which one of us can get more people to talk to - don't get me wrong, we are not gy, just want to see how attractive we are, from now on Judging from the result, I won completely.”[

"You are a foreigner, so you will definitely attract more people." Gerald said with a smile.

"Don't make excuses, you don't even look at your forehead lines."

"Don't push me. If you push me, I'll go dance on the dance floor. Someone must be looking for me. My dancing is much better than Yerzi."

"Hey, what are you talking about!" Dudek came over, "Who dares to say that I dance better than me? I am very confident in my dancing posture, even on the court, tens of thousands of people are watching , I still dare to dance."

"It's a bet." Gerrard said immediately, "I don't believe it. If you dare to dance on the court in any game this season..."

"How about you? How about you give Alonso a kiss if I dare to dance?"

"Hey, don't get me involved!" Alonso shook his hand, "Don't make such a joke."

"Don't worry, he doesn't dare to dance." Gerald smiled. "Go, we should go too. I hope everyone had a good time tonight."

"Happy ass..." Carragher complained, but it was still him.

"Oh, yes, there is another question." Zhao Yaning remembered something, "A friend said that she was doing volunteer work in HJ. What is HJ?"

"It's fine if you tell me that, but don't tell me you don't know when you go out." Gerrard's face turned serious, "HJ, they are a group of people who deserve the respect of all Liverpool people. Their full name is: Hills Fort Justice Movement. It is a group of people who ran for the Hillsborough tragedy, called for help, and worked hard for the unjust case of the fans."

Zhao Yaning was dumbfounded by this answer.

ps: It is a fact that Liverpool players go shopping in gy together. Gerrard has confirmed it. He organized...

After 5 minutes, there will be a new chapter, and after 10 minutes, there will be a chapter about the work.
