Chapter 1041 The Last Game

At noon that day, when the players were preparing to eat lunch in the restaurant, Giggs walked in, stood in front of the first table, and greeted with a smile: "Okay guys, I'm going to announce the starting lineup for the evening, I think you are very happy. Look forward to it, huh?"

Everyone answered him with practical actions - the person who took the food in the restaurant stopped what he was doing, and the person who was eating put the food into his mouth without chewing. In fact, according to England's tradition, this is a serious violation of a gentleman. An act of decorum, but Rooney did it all.The same goes for Zhou Tiancheng.Even if you know that you are definitely the starter, you still want to know which teammates are around you. This is a matter of success or failure.

At this time, let the etiquette and demeanor go aside!If you don't win a championship, the fans and the media will not behave like gentlemen.

Giggs then announced the starting lineup for the game.

It's still a 4-3-3 formation. It's easy to use for a season, and there is no reason to change the formation on the spot.Goalkeeper De Gea, the four defenders from left to right are Luke Shaw, Smalling, Rojo, Rafael, and the two midfield teammates around Zhou Tiancheng are Fellaini and Mata. Maria and Ashley Young.

There is basically no change in the ten positions. It is the lineup with the most appearances in the season. Rooney heard that he continued to scoop his own food. He felt that there was no suspense. The last starting position was definitely his. He was still a little bit small. Complaint: Ryan, what are you doing, what are you talking about, is it difficult to announce directly?

Only Zhou Tiancheng knew the inside story. At this time, he looked up at Rooney, wondering what Rooney's expression would be when Giggs announced the final starting position.Now it looks like he doesn't know at all.

Fatty, don't think you're safe!

Zhou Tiancheng couldn't help curling his lips.

And Falcao also stopped his movements, observing everyone around him.

The legendary captain who was squeezed out of the team in the FA Cup final played temporarily in the starting lineup. This feeling...haha, I don’t know how these people will react?
Giggs deliberately paused for two seconds, and then said: "Lamedar Falcao, the starting striker. Our tiger is here.

Rooney's hand holding the spoon shook slightly, and a small piece of cream fell out and splashed on the corner of his clothes.

Did you make a mistake!

"But my request is still the same. If you can pass the ball, you must never hit the high ball. You all know this. Although he is a tiger, he is not like Danny (Welbeck). High-altitude bombing is not his specialty. Okay. , get ready guys."

Giggs didn't say much, and Rooney shook his head, walked up to Falcao, he had already adjusted his state, and said: "Congratulations, little tiger, it's up to you, show your teeth , tearing their defenses to shreds."

"Captain, I stole your position, but look at mine." Falcao just nodded slightly, despite his usual flamboyant personality, but in front of such a real hardcore rich man, he was actually a little guilty, here It's not Atletico Madrid. Although Giggs gave him a chance, he didn't cover him like Simeone did. Seeing Rooney's attitude, Falcao was actually relieved. Fortunately, he didn't come to settle accounts with himself.

Zhou Tiancheng looked around at this moment, leaned over and said in a low voice, "Look, Lamedal, I didn't stop you, but do you really want to leave now? Ryan knew that this might be your last game, so he didn't hesitate to put Xiaopang's position is taken away to give you a chance, and Xiaopang doesn't mean to settle accounts with you. Well, look, you go to other places... Even if it is Chelsea, the whole world knows what kind of character Mourinho is Can people like this be as harmonious as here?"

"Zhou, I know what you mean, but give me some time, please? This is not a trivial matter." Falcao looked a little embarrassed.

Zhou Tiancheng smiled: "Don't be pressured, the choice is in your hands. It's just that I think you're not bad. If you stay, it's a good thing for me. Do you know which teammate you like most in midfield?"

Falcao shook his head.

"A striker who can turn all passes into goals. Lamedal, you are that kind of person. I feel more fulfilled playing with you."

Falcao laughed: "Zhou, you can't do it, can you? Do you still need to rely on the striker? You are a heavy artillery yourself-you can blast as much as you want in this game. If you can score two shots, What else do I have to do? No matter how many goals I score, it’s better than being a champion!”

Falcao said so, but after a while, Zhou Tiancheng knew that he was definitely not someone who didn't take goals seriously-the person who never stopped at noon returned to the room and fell asleep against the clock.

An hour before the game, when the team began to reappear in front of the reporters and board the bus, it was already in full swing.Giggs is very satisfied with everyone's state, especially when he saw Zhou Tiancheng and Falcao waved their hands at him, the exhaustion on their faces disappeared completely, and he grinned with a sincere smile: " It seems to be adjusted well, maybe I don't need to worry about it."

……

Manchester United is ready for the last game of the season, and on the bus heading to Wembley Stadium in the other direction, Rodgers took advantage of this time to give everyone the final psychological mobilization.

"Take your earphones off, gentlemen, I have nothing against you relaxing before the game, but it shouldn't be at this time, when you should be tense, don't you want to win them? We have only been beaten once in history. It is already a shame for Manchester United to win a double play this season! If you lose the third game, you, of course including me, all of us, I am afraid that all of us will be remembered forever by the fans and the media. It is not because of how many honors we have brought, but because Refresh the shame! I believe you all want the championship, and you want Steven to go away with regrets like this? Is this what you call respect?"

"Don't do this, Brendan." Gerrard pulled Rogers lightly, "This decision has nothing to do with everyone, this is just an ordinary FA Cup final... Well, maybe the meaning of being extraordinary is just because Liverpool It doesn't make sense to say that there is a need for such a championship, but everyone is the best professional player."

Rogers stopped talking, but the expressions of those who heard Gerald's words became serious.

To be honest, the Liverpool media had already promoted a lot of "Steven's farewell game" and "the legendary final performance" before the game.It made everyone under a lot of psychological pressure, and many people thought that they must win.

But now, look at Gerrard still humming a song that all Liverpool people can sing, you will never walk alone.

They were thinking about how to give a gift to the big brother, the legendary captain, but Gerrard didn't show any parting emotions at all on the surface, all he wanted was the championship.

This is his final responsibility to the team as captain of Liverpool.
