708. To commemorate, to mourn, to miss
When Long Shute scored his first goal in the game in the 27th minute, he took off his jersey.
The white close-fitting short sleeves are like team logos, with a burning torch on each side, and a black number in the middle:
96.
This is not the first time Long Shute celebrated by undressing. When he and Emma fell in love, they had celebrated their love many times, but for people who had nothing to do with him, this is indeed the first time in his career.
There was no arrogant expression on his face, nor domineering words. He just knelt down on his knees, facing the west, and quietly pointed his hands at the sky.
Although he has been with Kaka for a year and has never been a Christian, today he has sent his memorial to Liverpool's 96 most loyal fans in the West in the most common way.

In the commentary hall, the special guest Carragher had already fallen into silence. Liverpool's former deputy captain, the man known as a tough guy, couldn't help but sniff hard, then turned his head and secretly wiped the corners of his eyes.
Commentator Alan Smith sighed:
"This may be the best way to pay tribute to those fans. 27 years later, the current Liverpool captain scored a goal in the 27th minute of the game. At this moment, God seemed to be on Long Shute's side..."
-
Although Long Shute's celebration method is very touching and very historical, the referee still showed him a yellow card without hesitation, but he also explained to Long Shute with regret:
"I'm sorry, dragon, the rules are regulations."
Long Shute rarely expresses any dissatisfaction to the referee, and this time it is the same.
He just nodded:
"I know, there is no problem with your penalty."
The reason why he doesn't care about yellow cards is that since last season, the accumulated rules for the Europa League yellow cards have only been calculated after the quarter-finals, so today's yellow cards will not affect his participation in the subsequent semi-finals at all.

There is not much to describe in this game. The score in the first round made the game lose its suspense prematurely.
For Dortmund, although they also want to fight back away, considering that the league still has the possibility of competing for the championship, Tuchel retreated again.
After all, he scored 6 goals at Anfield and allowed Liverpool to miss a single goal... This difficulty is much greater than that of overtaking Bayern in the Bundesliga!
Long Shute once again completed a hat trick and an assist, Firmino and Coutinho each had their passes and shots, and Reus scored a goal to save face for the visiting team.
The 5-1 score is probably not particularly cruel for Dortmund, who has no hope for much.
Farewell to the opponent from Germany, Liverpool's players and coaches returned to the stadium.
More than 40,000 red figures swayed in the night of Anfield.
More than 40,000 quiet sounds spread far away in the Anfield night sky.
“Walk on, walk on,
With hope in your heart…
And you"ll never walk alone.
You "ll never walk alone..."

The next day, outside Anfield Stadium, Liverpool Club set up two torch platforms, with a blue-black memorial stone tablet engraved with the names of 96 victims for citizens to express their condolences.
The torch uses technology similar to the Olympic flame, and with a special person taking turns to guard it, it ensures that it will not be extinguished day and night, and will not be replaced with a lamppost until the hearing is over.
Long Shute not only donated 10,000 pounds of condolences to the Hillsborough victims' family foundation in his personal name, but also directed the staff of the "Retired Players' Life Security Foundation" to join various foundations and players, and the fans organized a series of activities, which also expanded the foundation's influence in society.
After half a year of operation, in the name of the foundation, Longshute's investment company has acquired two small commercial lands by the Merseyside River and is preparing to develop a residential area and a commercial area.
Although the surrounding real estate market in Liverpool is not very prosperous, in a peaceful era without the financial crisis, this industry is still very profitable...
Of course, it is definitely not as profitable as the Chinese market.

The massive commemorative event was soon held among the general public. More than a dozen other clubs in the Premier League also expressed their support for Liverpool in various ways. Even Liverpool's city rival Everton mobilized their fans to support Liverpool's activities.
Of course, the commemoration will be held, but Liverpool's coaches and players cannot delay the game.
Three days after defeating Dortmund, they headed to the south coast of England and fought with Bournemouth.
After the 33rd round of the Cherry Army, the Cherry Army ranked 14th in the standings, more than 10 points away from the relegation zone, and basically completed the relegation task, so they are not afraid of Liverpool at all!
At worst, you lose!
With such an optimistic attitude, Bournemouth lost 0-2 cleanly at his home court.
Look, positive and optimistic people will never lose too badly!
Perhaps affected by the commemorative activities, most Liverpool players' mood was not particularly high, and even Long Shute performed mediocrely.
Let's take a look at his miserable data:
0 goals, 0 assists, 0 shots, 0 passes, 0 interceptions, 0 steals, 0 fouls, and even the running distance is 0!
Oh, by the way, this game...he didn't play.

Long Shute, who sat on the bench for 90 minutes, was not idle. He even watched a lottery ceremony thousands of miles away through the system functions.
The Asian qualifiers of the 2018 World Cup, commonly known as the draw ceremony for the top 12 matches, was held in Kuala Lumpur, the headquarters of the AFC.
According to the latest world rankings released in April, the Chinese team can only be ranked fourth - because in the past two years, they have dropped from the 18th place in the world at their peak to the 61st place.
The first grades are Iran and Australia.
South Korea and Japan are both second-tier cities.
Saudi Arabia and Uzbekistan are third.
China and the UAE are fourth.
Qatar and Iraq are fifth.
Syria and Thailand are sixth.
It’s okay for other teams to go, but Thailand was able to advance to the last 12 games, which is a bit surprising. No wonder in the past history, their second team could use a 5-1 victory to beat the Chinese team...
The 12 teams are divided into two groups, and each group is of course 6 teams.
In this competition system, of course, there is no principle of avoiding the same group or avoiding the same region. Chinese fans do not need to rack their brains to find the weakest group for the national team, because no matter how they are allocated, there will be no guide group for the Chinese team...
The result was announced soon.
Group A: Iran, South Korea, Uzbekistan, China, Qatar, Thailand.
Group B: Australia, Japan, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Iraq, Syria.
Looking at the grouping situation that changed slightly from history, Long Shute laughed "he" with a "happy".
Chapter completed!
