659、The most familiar captain

After a 5-1 reversal of Bordeaux, there is still one last match in November.

On November 28, FIFA announced the final three-person list selected for the 2015 FIFA Golden Globe Awards.

No surprises, Messi, Ronaldo and Neymar are ranked in turn on the list.

But even Ronaldo and Neymar themselves know that they are just foilings for others.

In 2015, Messi led Barcelona to the top, winning four championships in La Liga, Copa del Rey, Champions League and European Super Cup, and defeating Ronaldo and Suarez, becoming the best player of UEFA.

In addition, he also won the runner-up in the Copa America in the national team - of course, for Argentina, the runner-up in the Copa America cannot even be called a result...

Relatively speaking, Ronaldo only won the personal honor of La Liga Golden Boot, and he was completely unable to compete with Messi. It was even rumored that the Portuguese had begun to decline. In order to brush up the data, he ignored the overall interests of the club...

As for Neymar, his time has not arrived yet.

On November 29, after more than 20 days, Long Shute finally appeared on Liverpool's starting lineup again.

"This is a game in the 15th round of the Premier League season 15/16. The Reds Liverpool plays at home to face the Swanswansea."

Zhan Tianjun's voice rang as scheduled:

"Affected by injuries and national team games, Liverpool's recent performance has been somewhat ups and downs. They can not only beat the UEFA Europa League opponent Kazan Ruby 15-0, but also accidentally lose to a weak Premier League team like Crystal Palace. However, as Long Shute returns to the starting lineup, the KOPs should be able to relax. Of course, Swansea fans may not want to see Long Shute..."

The camera slowly passed through the stands and he saw a familiar face:

"Today, Liverpool legendary captain Steven Gerrard also appeared in the stands. Gerrard, who has already switched to the major leagues, ended his first (actually half) major league season with a disappointing result. He will start following Liverpool for winter training next month to maintain his form. Many Reds fans are still looking forward to him being able to re-put his red shirt and play one or two games for his old club like Henry before..."

Zhang Lu suddenly interrupted:

"But... does he have to change his number?"

Zhan Tianjun was stunned and then called him haha:

"hey-hey……"

Zhang Lu glanced at him, "At a young age, why do you imitate my laughter?"

-

Based on Long Shu's selfishness, these Liverpool players may not actually respect Gerald the legend. Otherwise, in his last game for Liverpool, the Reds would never have lost to Stoke City with a shameful score of 1-6, allowing their legendary captain to bid farewell to the club in such a way that they had no dignity.

Maybe Henderson, Joe Allen, Abby, Flanagan and other old players or local youth training will be different, but they are either on the bench or on the hospital bed...

Therefore, even if Gerald watches in the stands, it will not have much incentive for Liverpool players on the field.

What's more, head coach Rodgers is reluctant to kill his old club Swansea.

When Long Shute completed a hat trick and an assist in the 56th minute and the score expanded to 6-0, Rodgers replaced him to prevent the score-making maniac from continuing to rage.

Long Shute did not express his dissatisfaction with the head coach's substitution, nor did he criticize his lack of professionalism.

After all... everyone is human. Even Long Shute, when playing for AC Milan, he used the yellow card rules to avoid direct confrontation with Ajax.

Moreover, Rogers replaced him with Henderson, who had just returned from injury, which meant to give the miserable captain a little more time to make him find the feeling.

What's more, Liverpool is already sure to win, and they have three-pointers in one game, so there is no need to be petty about whether they are 6-0 or 10-0.

The players who received the head coach's hint suddenly became hopeless. Swansea took the opportunity to score two goals in 5 minutes, making Miniole's good wish to win a zero-winning bonus immediately...

December 1st.

Outside the Melwood training base, dozens of fans are usually waiting there.

As Liverpool's record becomes more and more outstanding, there are more and more fans gathered here, and even the number of paparazzi and reporters has doubled...

Fans are taking photos with their idols and getting autographs, while journalists hope to dig out some clues from their daily training that allow them to play freely. Anyway, the principles that most English media adhere to are very simple:

A picture of the beginning, the news depends on editing...

But on this day, they were surprised to find that a familiar Porsche Cayenne slowly drove into the door of the training base.

-

"emmm, ahem..."

Rogers gathered all the players together as usual, and then cleared his throat:

"From today, you will welcome a new teammate, and I hope you won't be too surprised later."

He raised his arm and looked at his watch:

"Why haven't this guy arrived yet? You dare to be a big shot in front of me. Wouldn't you worry that I'll clean him out again?"

Several assistant coaches laughed.

Before the players could react, they heard a slightly hoarse voice coming from behind.

"Sorry, sorry, dozens of fans stopped my car..."

Steven Gerrard, the red warrior who had a deep head-up pattern since childhood.

Long Shute did not unexpectedly meet this old captain here. Don’t forget that he is the largest shareholder of this club.

"You're 3 minutes late, Steven, the old rules, you haven't forgotten?"

Rogers smiled and hugged him - although there might have been some minor problems between them, none of them is important now.

Gerald frowned and nodded:

"I know, I'll run one more lap."

The first captain who has returned from injury, Jordan Henderson gave his guide a warm hug:

"Welcome home, captain."

Looking at the successor whom he was leading, Gerald also smiled:

"Haha, Jordan, I'm so happy to see you..."

His eyes finally fell on Long Shute.

Two No. 8, the old and the young, looked at each other in Melwood, but neither spoke.

-

In today's society, no one is truly selfless.

Gerald also went through a transformation from a slight unhappy-gradual acceptance-perception-to-orthodox-to-popular hope for his successor.

But he asked him to pat Long Shute on the shoulder and then said, "Brother, come on, the champion of my village depends on you."... It's really a bit unsatisfied.

But this doesn't matter.

After the group run, Rogers directly assigned Long Shute to Gerald - or rather, Long Shute asked Rogers to do so.

-

Generally, warm-up activities are in groups of two people, which can assist each other in training and can also create a little meaning of competition and competition.

Of course, Gerald does not object to team up with the team's number one superstar. After all, this is also a symbol of identity. If you want to arrange a U18 young player for him, he will definitely think that Rogers is perfunctory to himself...

But he didn't expect that Long Shute's first conversation with him would come so suddenly.

His successor said to him while pressing his lunge:

"Steven, think about it, come back from the winter break? We can go for the league championship together."

Gerald was obviously stunned.
Chapter completed!
