When Gerald and Longshute raised the UEFA Super Cup trophy high, the two Liverpool leaders once again received unanimous praise from commentators from all parties.

Long Shute is still the absolute core of the team, but he used this method to make the returned old captain Gerald feel the welcome of the new boss in the team.

Even the Spanish commentator praised:

"We used to think that with Long Shute's arrogance and arrogantness, Gerald, who has always been low-key and calm, may find it difficult to coexist with him, but we are all wrong. Long Shute's emotional intelligence at this moment really makes many European and American players ashamed!"

Nonsense, Gerald...that was shouted out by Long Shute himself, and of course it can coexist!

-

After winning the second championship of the new season, Rodgers gave the team a day off.

Gerald, who had just moved back to his hometown, took the opportunity to complete the transfer task for his daughters.

Then he received a call from Long Shute:

"Steven, I want to talk to you alone, about the development of the club and about your personal situation, and I hope you don't refuse."

Although the old Liverpool captain who was about to rest was a little tired, he was still invited to drive to the Long family's mansion.

-

The one who opened the door for Gerald was Long Shute's personal assistant and his media administrator, Crom Liu.

Then he saw a snow-white Labrador retriever chasing a football in the living room.

“Hi, Steven!”

Emma Watson, the hostess who was reading a book on the sofa, said hello to him:

"He's waiting for you on the second floor."

Gerald nodded, about to climb up the steps, but couldn't help but turn his head:

"By the way, can I sign my three daughters with names? They are all your fans!"

Emma laughed too:

"Of course, I have prepared some small gifts for them, and I hope they can like them."

-

In the private living room on the second floor, Gerald saw Long Shite in a cool summer outfit.

"I didn't bother you, Steven?"

Long Shute signaled the old captain to sit down on the sofa.

Gerald shook his head slightly, and instead made a joke:

"Why should I call you boss or captain?"

"Haha, I don't know, you are still a joke teller."

Long Shute slapped his thigh and smiled and pointed to the tea set on the coffee table:

"Because the conversation was very long, I would like to invite you to taste tea. Although it may not be the most authentic Chinese tea art, it is definitely something you have never tried."

Gerald frowned and glanced at the tea set that occupied almost half of the tabletop, and could only nod:

"Uh...thank you."

-

"First of all, I want to thank you for accepting my invitation and returning to Liverpool."

"Maybe I should thank you more. I also know that if it were the former American boss, he would never have offered me a salary of this level."

"Liverpool is no longer the weakened giant of the past financially tight economy. Continuous championships will definitely bring us a steady stream of business income. We have the confidence to compete with any Premier League club on salary. But... I still have to tell you that I don't plan to rely on pounds to collect a bunch of big-name players, just like Real Madrid."

"you mean……"

"If my team is all top stars, then I would feel that leading such a team to compete for the championship will be no challenge. I wonder if you can understand what I think?"

"Uh... although it's hard to accept, considering that you once transferred from the peak Bayern Munich to AC Milan, I think... I can still understand..."

"Very good. Due to this reason, we will not inject a lot of money into the club's operations, nor will we call the wind and rain in the transfer market. You may even feel that our transfer policy is not much different from the past few years. At the same time, we will also learn from the business models of Arsenal and some small and medium clubs to earn the difference by cultivating semi-finished players."

“…No matter how the club transfers, I personally will support you.”

"Frequent selling of people is not the temperament of a truly wealthy family, but in the current situation, this is probably the only way to meet the club's management, player development needs, and my personal philosophy at the same time. But don't worry, our results will not be affected in substance. It should be fine to win at least two championships per season."

“…”

"Why, don't you believe me?"

"...I don't know how to express my feelings. For the first time, I heard someone regard at least two championships as a season goal..."

"You will definitely get used to it in the future, Steven. Okay, let's talk about your personal development."

"I noticed that on the new contract, the club wants me to be a member of the coaching staff of the first team?"

"Yes, we hope you can participate in various management of the team as an intern coach. Of course, if you do not intend to change careers and become a coach after retirement, this clause can be cancelled."

"I can only say thank you to you again, Long, thank you for thinking so much about my future."

"Every Liverpool fan will imagine that their former captain became the first team coach, and we all hope that you can become another Kenny Dalglish and do better than him."

"Thank you, I will cherish this time. Becoming Liverpool's head coach... This is definitely a dream in my player days. I will get the coaching certificate as soon as possible."

"Let's relax. As long as I haven't retired, I can guarantee that you will become a world-renowned coach with great honor in two years, hahaha."

"Haha, I believe in your ability, and I am extremely looking forward to that day. It is very pleasant to chat with you, but it is getting late, so it is time for me to say goodbye..."

"No hurry, it's only two hours. Let's talk about it again. You probably don't know that Barcelona sent another offer to Coutinho at noon today. Although it claims to be 140 million euros, they not only want to pay in installments, but also 30 million of them actually asked Coutinho to enter the top three of the Golden Ball Awards or World Footballer's Might. Is this a bit too bullying?"

"Ah? Although Philippe is a first-class player, with the current football situation, it is too difficult for him to enter the top three..."

"Yes, so I rejected the offer from Barcelona for the second time, but... the Catalans don't seem to give up, they will definitely make a third offer."

"Do you need me to persuade him?"

"...No. I know you have advised Suarez and many people, but this time, I don't need you to dissuade you. If Philip really wants to leave, I will not only not force myself to stay, but also happily see him off."

"Why……"

"You don't need to sigh, Steven, I've found a replacement for Coutinho."

"Can you tell me?"

"Mohamed Salah, I used to be a teammate with him for half a season when I played in Milan, so I know him very well. His feeling about football is undoubtedly first-class. He is extremely fast and is more suitable for the role of a wing assaulter than Felipe. In addition, his national team is Egypt and there is basically no possibility of participating in the World Cup, which will ensure that he can play for the club wholeheartedly..."

"Uh, you think it makes sense. Oh, it's already 5:30 pm, and it's time for me to go home to cook for the kids."

"What's the hurry? I'll sit for a while. I'll treat your whole family to dinner tonight. By the way, do you have no requirements to tell me?"

“…I have a very unrealistic luxury.”

"oh?"

"I think if my body allows, I hope to start as much as possible...I'm not old enough to play only 10 minutes in a game."

"I promise you, Steven, but only if you are in a guaranteed state and... you have to accept rotation."

"Of course, I'm not a young man anymore. Thank you, can I leave now?"

"Sit for another ten minutes, let's play a battle game together? Or... enjoy my top five goals in the new season!"

“…We only played two games in the new season, right?”

"Yes, I only scored 6 goals. Let's analyze together how to increase the number of goals."

"...Thank you for your invitation, Long, but we've really talked for a long time today. Will we talk about it next time?"

"One minute left, ok?"

"…Long, what exactly do you want to do?"

"If I tell you, this is to let us know each other more and thus avoid misunderstandings in the days to come, do you believe it?"

"I'm very moved by your arrangement, really."

"I don't need you to be so moved, Steven, I'll take you out."

"Thanks."

"Goodbye, Steven, see you tomorrow in the training ground."

"Goodbye, Long, thank you again, and Emma, ​​thank you for your gift."

Gerald took the signature and small gift from the hostess, and then walked out of the Long family's mansion.

There seemed to be a white light flashing in front of him, but it disappeared in an instant.

Is it really a dizzy person?

He shook his head mockingly and got into his car.
Chapter completed!
