white tour

"Have you ever watched Xiao Lizi's "The Wolf of Wall Street"? Yes, that's the part. Accompanied by the bleak music, you have to say that passage with a sad face and sobs: Do you know? I won't go I'm not going! Antonio, can you do it?"

"Pfft! Hahaha! That scene must be very funny!" Sitting on the chair and laughing for a while, Antonio, who finally returned to normal, said this sentence: "I'm sorry, I can't do it."

"Why? Don't you like the design?"

"I just... I just think I'm going to cry before I can say that. It's a bit embarrassing to say that, but... parting is always sad, isn't it?"

……

This day is still here, and God seems to have given the city a drizzle and rainy day in order to cater to the mood of half of Liverpool's red-blooded people.

Antonio waited in the tunnel, and the club, humanely considering that he might feel sad being alone, deliberately kept two staff members with him, although they were all photographers with cameras on their shoulders.

"Antonio, can you hear the singing outside?"

Yes, Liverpool fans are singing again, simple lyrics and simple melody, but it makes Antonio's eyes red all of a sudden.

"La la la la la la la

啦 啦 啦 啦 啦 啦

he is never satisfied

he wants to score more goals

He is Rodrigo..."

"Antonio Rodrigue!

Our own people!

Liverpool forever! "

"Antonio, how do you feel now?" The photographer temporarily acted as a reporter.

"Hey, don't turn around, just pat me on the back! This...will look more tragic, right? It feels...sigh...it seems pretty good to be a Liverpool person! Also, the kops have already sung this song It’s been more than ten years? Don’t think I don’t know, every time they send off players, they use this melody!”

"Okay, on that question, I think the fans who watched the video will think about it. Now you go down the stairs first, wait for the DJ to say your name, and then you walk into the stadium, okay?"

"Ok!"

Thinking that he was about to play, Antonio stretched out his arm and wiped his tears. At least in front of so many fans, he couldn't be crying, right?

Above his head was the "Here is Anfield" sign, and Antonio stretched out his hands and patted it lightly, as he did every time he stepped onto the pitch.

This sentence has accompanied Anfield Stadium for many years, but unfortunately, he can only accompany them for ten years.

Antonio thought he would have a lot of emotion at this moment, but he didn't think about anything, just stood there, listening to the words echoing throughout the stadium quietly.

"Wearing No. 7, he contributed one goal after another to the team like Liverpool's outstanding forwards. In ten years, he played 541 times for the team and scored 776 goals, helping Liverpool win all possible goals. The trophies won... Similarly, the most perfect man in world football also has everything: the debut at the double red meeting, the long-awaited three consecutive league championships by the fans, and the single-handedly sending Liverpool to the top of Europe in 2023, That magical night at the Bernabeu... Anfield fans, please stand now and applaud the Liverpool flag. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the man who has always brought us joy... Antonio Rodrigue!"

Such warm applause made Antonio a little dazed, as if he was still standing on the podium of the Champions League final, as if he was still on the day of bringing the league championship trophy back to Anfield.He has experienced the most glorious moments of a player, but never has he been as satisfied and touched as he is now.

He thought, dedicating the best performance of his career to Liverpool, this is indeed a very good choice!

The Liverpool and West Ham United players stood in two rows, and Antonio, who passed through them, high-fived them one by one, and there were flags and slogans flying in the stands.

"Thank you Rodrigo"

"With you for ten years, we are very happy"

"You brought back the glory for Liverpool and you became our glory"

"We love you Antonio Rodrigue and will always love you"

"Liverpool legend - Rodrigo"

The singing of "Never Walk Alone" sounded, but Antonio didn't sing along, he was afraid that the moment he opened his mouth, he couldn't help crying.

The club chairman and the current head coach Steven Gerrard presented Antonio with a No. 7 Liverpool jersey sealed in a glass frame.

"Actually, I..." After taking the microphone, Antonio took a deep breath, but he couldn't hide the trembling in his voice, "Huh... sorry, I've reached my limit..."

applause.

"Thank you...thank you, thank you for being willing to come to Anfield on such a rainy day...although I knew this day would always come, but when this moment comes, I still feel very painful. I like it here, and Enjoy these ten years of life... Do I look like a Spaniard who is used to the sun? To be honest, the first year in Liverpool, in order to adapt to the cold weather in the UK, the daily winter swimming was really important to me A torture... oh, sorry, that's not what I meant to say, I..."

The applause continued.

"Well, I hope that I can express my thoughts perfectly... Time flies too fast. Since I publicly stated in January that I will leave Liverpool at the end of the season, many fans have told me in various ways that I hope I can continue to fight for the team. I can indeed play football and continue to contribute to Liverpool, but I am a very selfish person. I hope you will always remember me as the best. I don’t want you Saw a sickly Rodrigo at Anfield!"

"Is Liverpool a strong team? There is no doubt about it! Being one of the top teams in the world, I have gradually felt powerless. And to be honest, it doesn't have much impact on Liverpool without me. Oh, that's a depressing fact! Look over there, my teammates -- Clayton, Obie, Williams, Targuthus...they're so good, so good that I'm 34 The old guy who still occupies a main position at the age of [-] feels ashamed. And in the future, there will be more powerful new players joining this big family. They make Liverpool have amazing strength, and Kirkby Academy has unearthed amazing for Liverpool. potential. Such a team, even if I leave, can go on very well, anyway, Arnold can hold on for a few more years, right?"

"Guys, we've got a great owner and CEO, a great coach and a bunch of great players. How can a team like this not be successful? I'm grateful for them, they helped me become a What it looks like now... Oh, I'm definitely not talking about this crying face... Are you happier? Now, you have a new composition material... Rodrigo is a crybaby, long The long face makes the tears flow for a long time..."

The applause and cheers were so loud that Antonio had to pause.

"However, maybe you won't be able to sing to me in the future, or can you look forward to Sevilla's visit to Anfield next season?"

"...there are so many people I want to thank, the coaches, the team-mates, everyone at Liverpool Football Club... Finally, I want to thank the kops who will always be the No.12 for the team - high and low , you will always be with us, it is because of your existence that we can never walk alone!"

"I have been to most stadiums in the world, but the one that shocked me the most was Anfield. Because you are here, we can proudly stand up and declare: This is Anfield! You are the best, Thank you and I wish everyone the best!"

Antonio, who finished all the words in one breath, handed the microphone to the host, but everyone could see him crying, he hugged his teammates, and then walked to the kop stand, and the fans sang for him for the last time at Anfield .

"When you walk through the storm

please hold your head high

Don't be afraid of the dark..."

Antonio goes on, goes on, goes on, goes to say goodbye for the last time.
