Super Coach

Some people say that loving football is like a love that will never end.

Yang Cheng deeply agrees with this.

From Chemnitz to Kaiserslautern, from Germany to Italy, and then to England, he had been tired and tired, but whenever he got a rest and recharged his energy, he still found that I still love this sport so much.

He is a lucky person because he is one of the few lucky people who can turn his hobby into his career.

On the plane from Australia to London, England, he kept thinking about some issues, some of which were past experiences and some of which were upcoming challenges. The long flight just gave him time to think and organize.

London was filled with fog in the morning, and the whole city was like a piece of clothing that had just been taken out of a drum washing machine. It was wet and uncomfortable.

At this point, when Yang Cheng stepped off the plane, he was greeted by the smile of one of the most beautiful flight attendants who had just recognized him and asked for an autograph. He passed a series of inspections, entered the country, and walked out of the departure hall. gate.

Some reporters who got the news from unknown sources were already waiting on both sides of the gate. As soon as they saw him coming in, they immediately picked up their cameras and took pictures of him.

In response, Yang Cheng just raised his hands, smiled slightly, and then continued to move forward.

Hello, Caesar! A middle-aged Englishman came up to him, I am the Director of Player Affairs of Liverpool, Norman Gard!

Hello, Norman! Yang Cheng smiled and shook hands with him.

Please come with me! Norman Gard was a little surprised by Yang Cheng's simple travels. He was a little confused. Didn't he say he was going to Australia for a vacation? Why didn't you bring anything?

He never imagined that Yang Cheng had a family in Australia and a son, and the son's mother was the famous Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron, so he could only keep his doubts in his heart.

All the things you mailed before have arrived. After discussing with Paul Bayer, I decided to temporarily put your things in the hotel. We have also booked a hotel for you in the name of the club for a month. You can always Check in!”

As the two walked, Gard introduced to Yang Cheng what Liverpool was doing.

He is the director of player affairs, which is actually equivalent to the club’s logistics officer. In addition to being responsible for the players’ logistics,

He is also responsible for the reception of the head coach, but usually he has someone to send him. However, Yang Cheng was so important that he had to do it himself, and he came to London from Liverpool to greet him in person.

Gerrard has left the club, and he and the team are now reunited! Gard added.

The Gerrard here is of course not the team's star Gerrard, but Gerard Houllier, Liverpool's former coach, a Frenchman who has long been disliked by Liverpool fans.

It should be said that the Red Army, under the leadership of David Morse, should be considered a very humane club. It is relatively traditional and is in line with the current situation of Liverpool. It can be regarded as being in the same vein as this city.

Where's my car? Yang Cheng asked with a smile.

Still on the way, two cars, it will probably take some time! Gad replied quickly.

Yang Cheng has three cars in Lake Como, all of which are Ferraris. He left one in Italy and asked the freight company to send the remaining two to England, including the unique blue and black Ferrari. This has almost become Yang Cheng's trademark.

During this period, we have already negotiated with the hotel and they will provide a car for you to use.

Yang Cheng smiled and patted Norman Gad on the shoulder, nodded and said: Thank you, Norman!

Norman Gard looked at the time and said, There are still two hours before the flight to Liverpool. Do you want to go get something to eat first?

Well, I made an appointment with a friend! Yang Cheng smiled.

Just as they walked out of the waiting hall, Yang Cheng's phone rang.

I'm at the airport entrance, where are you? Yang Cheng said after picking up the phone.

When Norman Gard saw Yang Cheng's appearance, he began to suspect that he might be one of his friends. He always felt that Yang Cheng didn't seem to be too difficult to get along with, at least judging from how he spoke and acted, he was very polite. With their courage and drive, young people are very capable in everything they do, without any sloppiness.

Like Norman Gard, many reporters from the UK and various places at the scene could see that Yang Cheng was waiting for someone, and they were all guessing who he was waiting for. Some reporters even wanted to take this opportunity to go up and take photos with him, and do An exclusive interview.

But at this moment, they saw a beautiful blonde walking into the departure hall.

She seemed to have walked out of the fog in London. She wore a white T-shirt on her upper body. The pattern on the front was a black motorcycle. She looked very distinctive. A square t-shirt was casually draped over her shoulders. A light blue scarf folded in half, and a pair of tight gray ripped jeans on the lower body. The most conspicuous thing about the whole body is the pair of rivet shoes under the feet, which are so red that it makes people's hearts flutter at a glance.

But what was even more shocking was that as soon as this British blonde beauty walked into the airport, she immediately ran straight to Yang Cheng, opened her arms in an exaggerated manner, and hugged Yang Cheng tightly, even kissing him on the cheek. It is printed with the fragrance that all British men covet.

She is Sienna Miller, the most beautiful woman in England!

Hey, can you stop being so enthusiastic? I'm very reserved! Yang Cheng was teased and teased.

Sienna laughed cheerfully, Is it subtle? But her eyes were obviously full of doubt.

Judging from Norman Gard's life experience of about forty years, he could see that there must have been some unknown story between the man in front of him and the woman in front of him, but the story was not known to everyone, so he do not know either.

What a funny guy who likes to think nonsense!

Would you like to buy me coffee? Yang Cheng asked.

Not staying one night? Sienna asked back.

Yang Cheng shrugged, I haven't settled down yet. I guess I'll be staying in a hotel next time, so I have to go over quickly to take care of some things and look for a house.

Maybe I can help! Sienna suggested with a smile.

Yang Cheng also smiled, Of course that's good.

The conversation between the two really made the reporters present almost scratch their heads. They seemed like friends, but they were a little more intimate than friends. What is their relationship?

Scandal? It seems too public. At the very least, it should be avoided a little bit, right?

We would say they are frank, but why do we think they are more ambiguous the more we look at them?

Sienna noticed the group of reporters behind her. After waving, she simply took Yang Cheng's hand and pulled him towards the airport cafe. What do you think they are thinking now?

I must be thinking, how should I write the headline of this news? Yang Cheng laughed.

Norman Gard on the side was sweating all over his head when he heard it. He was sure that they were fooling the reporters.

Is this considered a show of force?

At the same time, he couldn't help but think of what this group of reporters said not long ago when they heard that Yang Cheng decided to come to Liverpool, Beckham decided to leave? It doesn't matter, because we ushered in someone with more commercial value and Caesar who is speculating on resources!”

Now it seems that it is indeed the case!

…………

…………

Coming out of the departure hall of Liverpool's John Lennon Airport, a group of Liverpool fans immediately swarmed around. There were hundreds of them. None of them looked very old. The oldest was probably in his thirties. , but without exception they all wore red jerseys.

When they saw Yang Cheng rushing out under the leadership of Norman Gard, they all immediately raised their arms and shouted.

Caesar!

Caesar, welcome to Liverpool!

Reporters from England and all over Europe were also gathered at the scene. When they saw Yang Cheng coming out, they all rushed forward together with the players, and each of them looked like they were going to put the microphone into Yang Cheng's mouth.

Hello, Caesar, welcome to Liverpool. I am a reporter from the Echo. Can you tell me why you gave up wealthy teams like Chelsea and Real Madrid and chose Liverpool?

Caesar, I am a reporter from the Liverpool Daily Mail. Do you think Liverpool can still make a difference without Owen?

Caesar, I am a reporter from The Times. Can you tell me your plans after taking office?

I am a reporter from the Guardian. There have been rumors that you will take away many world-class stars from Inter Milan. Is this true? Can you tell me more about your plan?

Hello, Caesar, I'm The Sun...

Reporters from other newspapers were a little better, but when he heard that the other party was a reporter from the Sun, Norman Gard immediately stood in front of Yang Cheng, as if he didn't want Yang Cheng to have contact with him.

I'm sorry, everyone, Caesar won't answer any questions today! Norman Gard shouted, and then with the help of airport security, he escorted Yang Cheng and Sienna to Liverpool to arrange their arrival. Pick-up car.

So fanatical! The car drove away, and Sienna saw the reporters chasing after her from the rear window. She stuck out her tongue cutely, It seems that your attention rate will be exceeded by you in the future!

Yang Cheng shook his head and laughed. He had heard that although British reporters are also very fanatical and even pervasive, they should actually be considered to have some professional ethics and do not have too many positions.

By the way, Norman, we and the Sun...

Gard smiled. He felt that Yang Cheng's relationship connected him with Liverpool, which made Gard very happy. Although he has been a die-hard Everton fan his whole life, he still felt that Yang Cheng It's good that Makoto does this.

No Scouser would welcome The Sun to Anfield or Melwood or even Kirkby, we won't allow them to show up. Gard looked angry.

Why? Sienna asked. This is a very influential newspaper in England. Although it is sometimes a bit vulgar, this is the general tendency of the media.

Why would Liverpool have a feud with such an influential media organization?

Norman Gard tilted his head, After the Hillsborough tragedy in 1989, 96 of our football brothers did not come back. But just 4 days after the tragedy, the Sun reported on P, that is, Liverpool The ball mí filed a complaint. They accused the drunken P of viciously attacking the rescue workers who were rescuing the injured. They also accused them of punching, kicking and even urinating on the rescue workers. They also said that a dead girl was being treated by Liverpool Football infringement and so on.

Having said this, Norman Gard sighed. Although he is not a football player of Liverpool, on the contrary, he is a football player of the mortal enemy Everton, but he still feels that Liverpool have been greatly disliked in this matter. respect.

I won't believe this is real! Yang Cheng said lightly.

The Sun, he doesn't have a great impression of this newspaper, because Murdoch's newspapers are all in vulgarity, the girls on page three are their starting point, and their best news is digging up insider information, and, they They always follow a news model of lifting up stars with their own hands and then destroying them with their own hands.

Of course it's not true! Norman Gard's tone became a little excited, These are all lies, but they reported the lies as facts and even made their front page headlines, which made countless people If they don’t understand Liverpool or don’t love Liverpool, many people who are not football fans have the wrong idea that those 96 football brothers died at the hands of their own people!”

As if he felt that his tone was a bit harsh, Norman Gard laughed, I'm sorry, I'm usually influenced by them and don't have a good impression of this newspaper.

Yang Cheng understood and patted Gade on the shoulder.

Usually we completely boycott this newspaper, but we are not trying to get anything, nor are we trying to fight for anything. We just want them to apologize for some of the wrong things they did back then!

Reasonable! Yang Cheng nodded.

Sienna also nodded frequently, and she finally got to know Liverpool seriously.

Even a man like Norman Gard, who is a rival football player, can do this to Liverpool. It is conceivable how loyal the football fans of this club will be to their beloved team.

The car slowly drove out of the airport.

What he saw along the way made Yang Chengcai deeply aware of the gap between Liverpool and big cities like Milan and London.

Their roads only have four lanes in both directions. You can see the difference just by the narrow road. After coming out of the airport, there is a long stretch of road where all you see are dilapidated old houses. Although there are also factories, Some are dilapidated.

Who could have imagined that this once glorious city would now be reduced to such a wasteland?

After sending Sienna directly to the hotel, Yang Cheng, accompanied by Norman Gard, was picked up by the club driver and went straight to Anfield Stadium.

Liverpool is the same as most Premier League teams. The club's administrative offices are arranged at Anfield Stadium, while the athletic offices are arranged at the Melwood training base, and the youth training camp is located in Coca-Cola, north of Liverpool. The town of Kirby.

But what Yang Cheng didn't expect was that the distance between Anfield Stadium and Goodson Park Stadium was so close. It was a bit unexpected, but from this point, combined with the historical origins of the two teams, people can't help but feel It’s interesting, it’s like two competing shops on the same street.

Norman Gard specially asked the driver to take Yang Cheng to the back on Anfield Road. He specially asked Yang Cheng to pass the Paisley gate and introduced him to Paisley's achievements in Liverpool.

The Paisley Gate is to the south of Anfield Stadium, and after a circle they came to the northwest corner.

This is the Shankly Gate, and it is also the main gate of Anfield Stadium. Countless P's like to come here to tie a scarf every New Year and festival, or when something happens. Next to it is the Hillsborough Monument. These are the names of the 96 victims.

Following Norman Gard's introduction, Yang Cheng noticed the two most famous landmark areas of Anfield Stadium.

The Shankly Gate is adjacent to the east side of the main gate of Anfield Stadium. It is a two-leaf iron gate, which is closed all year round. It is black, partially with gold paint, and has the words You will never walk alone on it. Liverpool slogan.

On the east side of Shankly Gate, next to the Hillsborough Monument, there are many bouquets of flowers placed under the monument.

Almost every day, countless fans come here and put bouquets of flowers silently, because we have never forgotten them, even if more than ten years have passed, but all of them still feel that they are the same as us. Together, we never left! Norman Gard said quite emotionally.

After hearing this, Yang Cheng felt a little moved.

The Heysel Disaster and the Hillsborough Disaster can be said to be the two major disasters that Liverpool encountered in the 1980s. They completely pulled Liverpool from the European hegemony and directly created Ferguson and his Manchester United.

I still remember that Ferguson once said a wise saying, The greatest achievement in my life is to knock Liverpool off the throne of football! This sentence completely made him a hero in the eyes of Manchester United fans.

But from the perspective of Liverpool fans, this is also an extremely sad sentence. They are eager for revenge and return this sentence to Ferguson and his Manchester United, but they cannot do it.

Since the establishment of the Premier League, their only and biggest pride is that their hero Kenny Dalglish led Blackburn Rovers to defeat Manchester United and win the Premier League championship in the 1994/95 season.

But does this have anything to do with Liverpool?

The only relationship is that their head coach is Kenny Dalglish, but more people feel that the club's large investment was a big factor in Blackburn's success that year, and Kenny Dalglish His subsequent coaching and employment at Newcastle and Celtic seemed to prove this speculation from the outside world.

But no matter what, this should be regarded as the sweetest memory of the Premier League for Liverpool players.

Entering Anfield Stadium, parking the car, Norman Gard took Yang Cheng straight to the office.

But before walking into the office area of ​​the stadium, Yang Cheng couldn't help but stop, turned around, and looked at the Shankly Gate and the Hillsborough Monument in the distance, and then looked at the Paisley Gate to the south, which was blocked by the stadium. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

This is the first time that he has a sympathetic identification with Liverpool, for the spirit of this club and for their football.

At least he feels that if football is fair, then all the disasters Liverpool have suffered over the years are enough for them to win back a Premier League championship.

They've had enough, haven't they? @.
