"Liverpool!! Liverpool!!!"

Youll-never-walk-alone… (Youll never walk alone…)
The song "You'll Never Walk Alone" echoed over Liverpool, sad and powerful, and the roars of countless people merged into a passionate theme, which made people clench their fists and their blood boiled! !
The Chelsea players in the bus were all silent. Some people grew up listening to this song. This song "You'll Never Walk Alone" is not just Liverpool's team song. It is used or used to be by many European teams. This song was used as the team anthem. An amateur team called "Walloon Ranger Club" in the Walloon region where Xiang Nan lived when he was a child used "You will never walk alone" as the team song.

Xiang Nan still clearly remembers that when he was a child, when he went to the stadium to watch this amateur team's game with Simao and Lennon, when thousands of fans in the stands sang this song in unison, he himself even Tears of excitement filled my eyes.

Xiangnan didn't know that when he was a child, this is the reaction of football and music, two things that can make people excited and can't control themselves, and the sparks of the most powerful collision, but at that moment, every one like him The little fans couldn't help trembling in their hearts...

[-] motorcycle police cars were honking their horns to clear the way. Amidst the crazy roar of Liverpool fans, Chelsea's bus was like a crumbling boat in a red wave that might be destroyed at any time. Move forward bravely! ! !
At the entrance of the stadium, every fan who enters the stadium will present his own bouquet and condolences in front of a monument. There are [-] fans who died in the Hillsborough tragedy. The fans also pray for the souls of the deceased Rest in peace in heaven and bless Liverpool with victory...

In heaven, there should be no hustle and bustle, no mania, but no one will doubt that the nostalgia for the black and white world of the dead is as long-lasting and peaceful as the stars in the night sky...

Xiang Nan felt that his eyes were a little moist, which made him sound his father, a fan, even at the last moment of his life, maybe, he was still ringing football...

"You love football!! Love her so much!!" Xiang Nan remembered the words Brother Pete said to himself, and his eyes became more determined! !
Finally, at a corner, the bus speeded up suddenly, and the bus drove into Anfield. At the entrance of the stadium, you could see a sentence from a distance, Youll-never-walk-alone (Youll never walk alone)! ! ! !

This sentence, almost, is engraved in the heart of every Liverpool fan.

All the players got out of the bus, took their luggage, and strode towards the dressing room at Anfield...

*******
In the locker room of the visiting team at Anfield, the door of the locker room was closed tightly, blocking all the noise from the door.

Scolari propped his hands on the table, doing the final mobilization before the war——
"After a while, it can be expected that you will receive the loudest boos and insults!!" Scolari looked at his players, and then said, "That's because you are strong and we are No.1 The Liverpool people are scared!! Remember, I will only say this once, this game must go all out to win!!”

Scolari is very clear about the importance of this game to Chelsea. If they lose, Manchester United will narrow the point gap with Chelsea, and Liverpool will also boost their morale and catch up.

Only in this game, walking back from Anfield with head held high, was the result that most satisfied Scolari.

Xiang Nan squinted his eyes slightly, he seemed to be able to feel the trembling outside the door of the locker room, and he felt his blood was already boiling! ! !

When the time came, the men of Chelsea pushed open the door of the locker room, roared, and rushed out one by one! ! !

*******
In the player tunnel at Anfield, players from both sides lined up in two rows, staring at each other with serious expressions.

Xiang Nan looked directly at the past and landed on Torres. This season, the Spaniard's state is better than the first season. So far, he has scored 19 goals in the league and is now in the top scorer list. far ahead.

At present, Xiangnan has 11 goals in the league. With 14 rounds left in the league, it is not easy to get the top scorer and surpass Torres.

Torres also noticed Xiang Nan's eyes. The Spanish golden boy with freckles on his face rushed to Xiang Nan and smiled politely. In the future, it will be a battlefield! !
Looking back to the south, he looked straight at the end of the player tunnel, where there was a big sign that read:

"This is Anfield!!!"

This is left behind by the greatest manager in Liverpool history, Bill Shankly.

Bill Shankly, the coach who created Liverpool's most glorious Red Army period, this rebellious old man, dedicated his life to Liverpool and Anfield. After his death, his ashes were also scattered on the On the turf of Anfield, Bill Shankly left behind, the last sentence in his life——
"I will always have my eyes on Liverpool and Liverpool's enemies!!!"

This is the most famous sentence in English football. Every team that comes to Anfield as a guest must first face the heavy pressure of the big "This is Anfield" at the end of the player tunnel. …

"I will always have my eyes on Liverpool and Liverpool's enemies!!"

As Xiang Nan recited these words silently, he could even feel the nostalgia of the deceased old man for this stadium, and more importantly, the pride of an unruly old man who was proud of his life! !

"Anfield!! I'm coming!!" Xiang Nan bit his lower lip slightly, his eyes were extremely hot...
