There is a dream called football

When the players came off the field, the Anfield scene was half filled with sea water and half filled with flames. The huge applause was for Li Qiao, and the huge boos were for Arsenal.

Many people were even mocking Wenger. At this moment, they all turned into Mourinho. But for this, Wenger laughed, he had encountered too many.

In the locker room, Wenger transformed into a serious professor.

"I think we all know what kind of team Liverpool is. The Iron-Blooded Red Army and AC Milan were tricked in this way, so we are only one goal ahead, so there is nothing to say. We may concede another goal at any time."

Everyone nodded. There was no need for the professor to say this. Everyone actually knew it in their hearts. It was just a useful reminder to everyone after he said it.

Wenger clicked on the tactical board.

"Nothing can be overestimated about the defense of Gerrard and Alonso. These two men pose too great a threat to the team. Others are not capable of sending such accurate long passes, but these two can."

Everyone nodded again. The lethality of this long pass was too strong. Arsenal's defense was led by the opponent like a puppet on strings.

right.

This consumes too much physical energy for the team, so it is very important to intercept the opponent's long pass, or at least suppress the success rate of the opponent's long pass. Fortunately, in the second half of the first half,

Arsenal have done a very good job in this regard, but they still need to improve. As long as a player like Gerrard is given a chance, it may be a sure win.

"Also when we counterattack, if the ball cannot be given to Li Qiao at the first point, then it can be given to Robin Van Persie. In short, our passing must be fast, and the opponent is a little too familiar with Li Qiao. This is not

Very good.”

hehe.

Everyone smiled softly.

"Boss, let's just remove Li Qiao." Van Persie smiled.

"If we were 3-0 up, then I might consider it."

"Ha ha."

In the Liverpool dressing room, Benitez is not in a hurry. After all, someone who has experienced the Miracle in Istanbul has already seen these things very clearly, and it doesn't matter at all.

"In the second half, quick movement is still the most important. We have to make Arsenal exhausted and disrupt the opponent's defense."

"We did a good job in the first half. In the second half, we just need to continue, distribute the ball more to both sides, and penetrate less in the middle."

Benitez also took into account the types of his two forwards, so penetration in the middle is basically impossible.

Long-range shots in front of the penalty area can also be considered. I think Lehmann is not that stable. As long as the bombardment causes him to miss, there may be opportunities for follow-up shots in the penalty area, which is also very important.

"Also, at any time, remember we are Liverpool, this is Anfield, we have unlimited possibilities, think about the miracle of Istanbul."

Gerrard stood up and said, "Boss, needless to say, we all know that we will be worthy of every penny we earn, and I will fight for Liverpool until the last minute."

Benitez's mouth curled up. As long as Gerrard is here, there is nothing to worry about. He is the soul of the team and the God of War. For many years to come, Gerrard has been an irreplaceable person.

An old fan said to his child, "Put up your scarf and sing with Grandpa You'll Never Walk Alone."

The little grandson sang stammeringly, with no tone at all, just like when he was learning to speak.

"You never walk alone."

Grandpa sang it again and slowed down his tone. The grandson sang much better, but it was still easy to forget.

"Remember, you have to do this when you come to Anfield in the future. This is the tradition of us Liverpool people."

"Why? Grandpa."

Children have a hundred thousand whys. They like to ask why when they encounter anything.

The grandfather laughed and said, "Why? There's no reason. It's in Kop's blood."

Children don’t understand, and of course they don’t need to understand. Faith will slowly be integrated into their blood. This is the charm of European football.

One life, one team.

I will only love one team in my life.

The child may not understand anything yet, but he happily sang "You'll Never Walk Alone" with his grandpa.

"You never walk alone."

When Li Qiao walked out of the locker room, Gerrard deliberately slowed down and stepped forward to say a few words.

"Li Qiao, you didn't celebrate after scoring. That's good. I should thank you on behalf of the team."

Facing the old team, not celebrating after scoring a goal can be said to be a kind of morality, but morality is not something everyone has. Many people forget everything about the past when they go to a new team.

There are also many people, like Cassano, who have severed ties with previous teams.

Therefore, it is not necessary for Li Qiao to do this, but it is his morality and character.

Of course Gerrard knew that, that's why he was so grateful to Li Qiao for what he had done, which was not easy.

"Captain, I will always remember the years we fought together."

"Haha, that's good."

"I will work harder to score goals in the second half."

"Hehe, it's hard to say. Maybe we will score the goal."

"We'll see."

Back on the pitch, the song "You'll Never Walk Alone" resounded through Anfield, and Li Qiao felt the warmth.

An individual life is fragile, even if you are rich and dominate the world, you are still fragile, but when you feel that someone is supporting you, then you will feel a lot of warmth, and this is the great happiness that football brings to people.

Yes.

You never walk alone.

Li Qiao will also hum along with the rhythm of the song, which makes it catchy.

The same child who was babbling just now was singing. Suddenly he saw Li Qiao and said, "Grandpa, I like Li Qiao."

"hehe."

The grandfather touched his grandson and said, "Then work hard and wear the Liverpool jersey one day."

"Grandpa, is that difficult?"

"Of course, only the best 11 people in the world can wear the Liverpool jersey."

The grandson was silent, but after a while he smiled again: "Grandpa, I will do it."

"That's what Stephen is like, he's a kid from Liverpool."

Who knows, Gerrard's passion for football was sown at a certain time. Maybe his love for Liverpool was planted during a home game in a certain month of that year, and then a generation of legends was born.

The song "You'll Never Walk Alone" sounds, and the second half is about to begin. When the game really starts, all the sentimentality before will no longer exist.

The football field was full of tense situations, with both sides gearing up.
