ball at foot

When I returned to England from Monaco, the fourth round of the Premier League had already been played...Welcome to reading At this time, Chelsea is still leading the way with a four-game winning streak, while Manchester United and Arsenal have both had bad starts. Now They've all lost battles.

And Liverpool missed two rounds of the game. Although it is said to have won two consecutive victories at the beginning, it is also behind now.

And at this time, the only thing that made Zhao Yaning feel relieved was that he didn't have to worry about the troubles of the national team this time.Because of successfully qualifying for the World Cup finals, the Chinese national team did not have a friendly match at the beginning of September this time.And when they arrive in November, there will still be the East Asian Games to play. However, Zhao Yaning doesn't bother to pay attention to this level of competition.

At this time, I can also take a break in Liverpool and take a breath.August is almost over, and it's time to get ready.Moreover, the summer transfer period, at this time, is coming to an end soon.

Owen's deal still hasn't given an answer. Parry is staying in Madrid now. He raised 1700 million pounds and wants to bring Owen back to Liverpool.However, Madrid did not let go, and Owen's own attitude turned to ambiguity. Although Parry was anxious, Owen himself was not in a hurry. [

Zhao Yaning gave up the No. [-] jersey, and Gerrard appealed to the fans, hoping that everyone would forgive Owen for what he did. But at this time, Owen’s attitude was talking with Liverpool, Arsenal, and Newcastle, and there were even rumors That said, Manchester United have also joined the fray.

"Can't Parry really see that this bastard is playing us?" In private, the players also had discussions.

"So what if you see it? They still have a one-in-ten-thousand hope. The team's youth training, the top card of the national team, a local, and a hero who has played for many years, such an identity, how can Parry easily miss it? ?” Alonso was very open-minded, “Look, it’s only been a few days, he can’t delay past August, can he?”

This is something everyone knows.And the players know one more thing: He probably won't be here.

On August 31, Owen announced that he had signed with Newcastle.Newcastle spent 2700 million euros to introduce Irving.

Later on the same day, Liverpool announced the payment of liquidated damages and the introduction of Serbia and Montenegro player Nemanja Vidic who played for the Russian Super League.This transfer of 700 pounds officially closed the transfer door of Liverpool——

Obviously, Owen gave Liverpool another go.

Real Madrid's asking price for Liverpool has always been less than 2000 million pounds.Naturally, Liverpool would not agree to such a high asking price.They always thought that this was Real Madrid's asking price, and even contacted Irving, asking him to help lower the price.

But Owen has obviously learned what professionalism is during his year in Real Madrid.He will never do anything to cooperate with the club to lower prices!Moreover, not only that, he also learned to keep up with the trend. He heard that Gerrard’s weekly salary mentioned 10, and he immediately made a request-11 weekly salary. I am the winner of the Golden Globe in England, so I have to I want a salary that matches my worth.

Liverpool, which has no money, naturally cannot satisfy these.However, even at this time, Liverpool still thought that Owen wanted to return to Liverpool, but it was Real Madrid who made a hindrance.Parry angrily accused Real Madrid of wasting Owen's career in the media, and Gerrard called for Owen to return every day.Liverpool can't give a high salary, but Zhao Yaning also gave up the No. 10 jersey as a show of sincerity.

However, when the news of Irving's transfer to Newcastle came, Liverpool understood-Liverpool was robbed by Owen again.

The transfer fee of 2700 million euros-Real Madrid is not a good person. They also published the whereabouts of the money in the newspaper, and hit Liverpool again: 2200 million euros are the income of Real Madrid, and 500 million euros belong to Irving signing fee.Newcastle also gave Owen a weekly salary of 10 pounds.Liverpool's bid has never been lower than that of Newcastle, but they did not provide Owen with the signing fee of 500 million euros. This money is the most important reason for the delay in negotiating the deal.

For a long time, the one who regarded Liverpool as a fool was Owen, who was regarded by Liverpool as his own.

It turned out that Liverpool was not being blackmailed by Real Madrid at all, but was being blackmailed by Owen.It turns out that Owen's sincerity, which Liverpool has been expecting, has been a joke for a long time.It turns out that what Owen has been doing all along is not to return to Liverpool at all. What he wants to do is to use Liverpool's name as a cover, use his status as a golden boy from Liverpool, to deceive Newcastle, and make Newcastle think that he is right. Teams other than Liverpool are not interested, so he can earn more signing fees and salary for himself.

Newcastle was full of joy to get Shearer's successor, and Real Madrid proudly announced that the Galacticos would also be sold to make money.And Owen got the money, and he also got the promise of Newcastle's main position, so he can work hard for the World Cup. In this case, everyone is naturally happy.

Except Liverpool.

Being tricked by a star from his own youth training—twice!He wholeheartedly regarded Owen as his own, but in the end, he was played like this by Owen again and again.This kind of thing makes Liverpool lose face.

"Liverpool refused to promise me the position of the absolute main force, which would delay my playing for the country." Of course, Owen also had his own explanation for this result, "And Liverpool and I have no relationship, they give me money, I Scored them. I'm an Everton fan, not a Liverpool fan. And, if it weren't for Liverpool's poor academy and

Medical conditions, I could have been better, they delayed my career. "[

Owen's words finally brought the relationship between Liverpool and him to a freezing point.

And Gerrard, who came back from the national team, was also dejected after entering the locker room, without saying a word.He had obvious bruises on his face, and Carragher, Kirkland and Warnock had all gone to the England national team. At this time, none of them spoke.

"Guys, I'm sorry." After a while, Gerald mustered up the courage to look up and speak, "I was wrong."

"Why is it wrong?" Garcia asked persistently.

"I shouldn't have quarreled with you because of that person." Gerrard said in a low voice.

"It's good to know." Garcia patted him, "You didn't fight him, did you? You are so big, you can't beat him?"

"Some people just don't know how to fight all their lives." Carragher said coldly.

"Aren't you going to help?" Alonso asked.

"He deserved it himself, and it wouldn't do him any harm to clear his mind."

Gerrard lowered his head and spoke after a long time, "I have known him since I was a child. I have known him for more than ten years. We played football together and grew up together. We were considered by the media to be the future leaders of Liverpool. I always thought that, He will follow me to the end, we will become the name of thousands of people, the totem of the city, a legend."

No one said anything, and everyone knew that what Gerrard wanted to do now was to talk, not to argue.

"But he still left. Even if he used a bad way, I didn't blame him. He was for his own dream of winning the championship. And he couldn't get along outside, so he called me, when he was in the national team He complained to me, how depressed he was, how regretful he was, at that time I really thought that he would turn his prodigal son back and come back here. But now that I think about it, it’s just my wishful thinking.”

Gerrard raised his head, "I took myself too seriously, and looked too highly at Liverpool's glory. I thought, Luiz, Joey, Xavi, those who have just been here for a year in our dressing room People can feel the glory and greatness of Liverpool in their hearts, so the person who has stayed in Liverpool for more than ten years should pay more attention to and be more familiar with this greatness. But, I was wrong..." Gerrard smiled wryly , "He trampled on Liverpool contemptuously, and also regarded my friendship as worthless. What kind of fool am I, I actually believed him..."

"Stephen, not everyone has a heart enough to become a legend." Carragher sighed.

It is very simple to get into the eyes of the fans and win the love of the fans.A game, a goal, you can make the fans cheer for you, happy.But it is very difficult to get into the hearts of the fans, win the respect and approval of the fans.Only those who really pay for the team and think about the team can be truly respected and recognized by the fans.It is true that the peerless beauty is all over the country and the city, and everyone is intoxicated, but what can make people fall in love is never the skin, but the soul.

Ronaldo can be magnificent, and Vieri can be called a match, but what can really make Inter fans respect is Zanetti who has paid for it for many years.Shevchenko can be described as sharp-edged, and Kaka can be said to be unstoppable, but Milan fans will still respect Maldini.

Everyone has a time when they are young and frivolous. Some people are domineering and have a full personality. For their own interests, fame, and status, they can quarrel with the club, teammates, the media, and anyone.When they were young, they were invincible, but when they were old and their splendor faded, who would respect them?In this world, how many character players have finally become club legends?

Many times, the opportunity to become a legend is placed in front of the players, and that road leads directly to the hearts of the fans.However, people made different choices.Some people go on silently, and finally walk into the hearts of the fans and become monuments standing there, while others are unwilling to walk into places that others cannot see. They like to show themselves in front of everyone, and in the end, They too can only wither in the wind.

Everyone chooses their own path.Time will wash away many things, but it will not dilute virtue alone.

"Joy, I'm sorry, I was too disrespectful to you." Gerrard raised his head and said something in a low voice.

Although Zhao Yaning proposed to give up the jersey himself, why didn't Gerrard hint at it, and why didn't he immediately nod and accept it?What would happen if Zhao Yaning and Gerrard yelled at each other at that time?If one really yelled that he would come and go, and the other yelled that he would not come and go, the team would completely disperse.Zhao Yaning chose to back down, and at this time, Gerrard realized how willful he was.

"It's all over, don't say it's useless." Zhao Yaning shook his head, "Stephen, you don't have to apologize, we are a collective, a team. There are more than 20 of us, and it is impossible for us to think the same about everything. , sometimes, there will always be conflicts, and when there are conflicts, if you don’t want to make a big deal, someone has to compromise. It’s me today, maybe you tomorrow, it’s all uncertain. Don’t say anything that offends you. , These things also score people, relatives and friends, it is inevitable that bumps and bumps, can you not bear it all? Stephen, I want to treat you as a friend, I don’t care about this. "[

Gerrard raised his head, looked at Zhao Yaning for a while, and then nodded.

We are friends.Only friends who truly trust and understand each other can go on together.Now, our contradictions are gone, what else can stop us?
