Green Dragon

Chapter 691 A new hero is about to debut
April 5, 8:3 p.m.

There are still 37 minutes before the start of the 25th round of the league.

But in the stands at Anfield, more than [-] fans have been filled.

Three-quarters of the stadium expansion plan has been completed, and now the number of external seats has increased from 45000 to 54000. After all the projects are completed and accepted, the total capacity will reach 61000.

Liverpool had proposed an expansion plan to the city government 10 years ago, and it had already passed the preliminary review. However, they had just started construction when they encountered the financial crisis in 2008. The assets of the club owner shrank sharply, and the expansion project could not be completed. No emergency stop.

Ten years later, the rich and powerful Chinese consortium finally launched this plan, and they did not hire European workers who were inefficient and shouted for rest every day, but directly recruited a large number of hard-working and hard-working workers from China. Cut the construction period at least in half...

Because of this incident, the club also received an administrative conversation from the Liverpool City Government. The mayor hoped that their project could employ some local residents to solve the employment problem of the local labor force...

Of course, Long Shute would not directly reject the request of the Everton fan, but he did not allow local labor to enter the expansion project at Anfield. Instead, he hired hundreds of local workers and arranged them in a period that was not too urgent in the business district project

Anyway, the problem has been solved.

"Hey, boy, please be quiet!"

John Brown, the old guard at the Melwood base, yelled at his little grandson, who was less than 10 years old, but the restless little guy ignored his grandfather's worries at all.

Fortunately, the stands are all local residents. Most of the diehard fans also know the old Brown who has guarded the gate of the base for the team for 12 years. Of course, his grandson will not be abducted...

As the grandson of the Liverpool goalkeeper, of course Brown Jr. will not become a fan of other teams. He has been to this stadium many times with his grandfather, but it is a different feeling to actually come to watch the game.

His ears were filled with the familiar Merseyside accent, and his voice was noisy and noisy, but Little Brown didn't feel a little uncomfortable. He walked around the crowd excitedly, wanting to grow up quickly and become the team A player of the team.

Excited, he bumped his head against another fan and sat down on the ground.

"Hey boy, are you all right?"

A thick man's voice rang out, followed by a pair of big hands, pulling him up from the ground.

"Ah, thank you..."

Although Little Brown thanked him, he didn't look at the man who helped him up at all. He stared straight at the man who was hit by him just now...

That was also a small fan, who looked about the same age as himself, but...it was a girl.

The long golden hair is like a waterfall, facing the afternoon sun with a layer of dazzling golden light, fair skin, delicate face, slightly rosy mouth... 9-year-old Brown feels his heartbeat is about to stop!
"Lexie, are you alright?"

The man's voice sounded again, and then he patted Little Brown on the shoulder:

"Boy, the game is about to start, hurry back to your seat!"

Only then did Little Brown recover from his dementia. He took a deep look at the beautiful blonde girl, as if he wanted to engrave her face into his heart:

"I'm Steven Brown and my idol is Steven Gerrard. Who are you? Are you a Liverpool fan too?"

The blond girl pouted her lips, making her look even cuter:

"I'm Lexi Gerrard and Steven Gerrard...is my dad."

Little Brown was taken aback, he turned his head and glanced to the side, and then he just stayed there!
-
Steven Gerrard is sitting in the main stand, and beside him are his wife Alex Curran (should be surnamed Gerrard) and three daughters:

Lily Ella, 12, Lexie, 10, and Lordes, who is under 5.

Today's game is not a key battle, the opponent is just Watford, but the significance is self-evident.

As a child of Liverpool, Gerrard couldn't pretend he didn't know everything and stay on the other side of the world.

He asked the Los Angeles Galaxy for a week's vacation in advance, took the whole family back to the city he is most familiar with, sat in the stands of the stadium he is most familiar with, and then... Prepared to watch a team that he will never forget, in the Take the champion here.

Not far behind him, Carragher, Dalglish, Rush, Fowler, Barnes, Keegan, McMulaman, Owen, Hyypia, Harman, Riise, Lawrence, Alan Hansen, Sammy Lee, Finnan, Redknapp Jr. Many famous players from the Red Army almost filled a small stand.

Even at the speed of Zhan Tianjun's speech, there is no way to keep up with the speed of the camera...

"Steven, it's a pity you left."

Carragher sat right behind Gerrard, his voice still so loud.

Gerald was silent for a second, then raised his eyes:
"Jamie, if I hadn't left, would this team have a new leader?"

This time it was Carragher who fell silent.

That's right, if Gerrard stays in Liverpool, will Long Shute join the team?

Even if he is willing to join, the real core and big man of Liverpool... who is it?

Even if they won't take the initiative to fight for power and profit, as long as he stands in that position, he will inevitably have conflicts with the newcomer, and it will only be more embarrassing and embarrassing.

Gerrard let out a little breath, put these things behind him, then held his five-year-old daughter Rhodes in his arms, and put on a pair of small headphones for her by the way, so as to avoid the huge noise in the stadium The sound frightened the little princess.

"Ding ding dong dong..."

There was a cheerful electronic bell ringing over the stadium.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the players from both sides are ready to play, let us welcome the 22 starters together.

First up Watford away, captain, number 9, Troy Deeney,…”

After all, it was Liverpool's home court. When the numbers and names of 11 Watford players were called out from the loudspeaker, instead of getting cheers and applause, they heard a burst of sharp boos.

This is a matter of course, because in the 17th round of the league, they completely drew with Liverpool, who had Long Shute and played the whole game!
Apart from Manchester United and Leicester City in the first round, Watford is the third opponent that embarrasses Liverpool the most!

The live bulletin starting list is not a necessary part of every game, but the DJ at Anfield certainly has reason to add this item in this game.

Just listen to him scrambling through Watford's starting 11, then paused for three seconds, and switched to an affectionate mode:

"Now... Please use your warmest applause and the highest decibel screams to welcome our heroes! Liverpool captain, number 8, dragon..."

The meaning of this sentence means that "our hero" is the next 11 players, but since Long Shute is ranked first, you understand that he is the hero of Liverpool, and there is probably nothing wrong with it.

Anyway, after the DJ waited for ten seconds, the cheers from the stands were still deafening, and he couldn't even continue calling out the name of the second player...

Long Shute, standing at the front of the player tunnel, nodded in satisfaction.

This stadium can only hear his name now.

Mignolet, who was standing behind Long Shute, waited for half a minute, but he still didn't hear the DJ announce his name, so he couldn't help curling his lips:

"Can you think about the feelings of the other ten people? Don't just brag about one person! Be careful I'm making a big move at the door!

No matter how good Long Shute is, can he score as many goals as me? "
