Hero of the Penalty Area

The remaining minute was as long as a century. When the referee finally blew the whistle for the end of the game, the Liverpool fans vented all their excitement.

Outside the Old Trafford Stadium, 20,000 Liverpool fans cheered first, and then 3,000 Liverpool fans inside the stadium cheered and celebrated. They don't care if their voices can be heard by the Liverpool players. The team does not need their cheering after the game is over. They do this just to express their inner excitement. They don't need others to know.

Hutson's voice was transmitted through radio waves and reached the ears and hearts of every Liverpool fan who listened to the radio.

"The game is over! Liverpool defeated Manchester United 4:3 away! This game almost announced Liverpool's victory in advance! With a difference of six points, the next round of league Liverpool will become the Premier League as long as they win Blackburn at home. Champion of China! The dream of 22 years is finally coming true!"

At the end, Old Hartson's voice even choked.

If anyone could see his face, he would find that Hartson was not just a choked voice, his eye sockets had already begun to flush, and tears flickered in his eyes.

He is not the only one, all Liverpool fans want to cry at this moment.

It's not like the Liverpool fans, even the Liverpool players couldn't help but burst into tears on the spot...

Hero Chen did not raise his arms to celebrate the victory after the game. He found Carragher in the frantically celebrating crowd, hugged him, and said in his ear: "I said I want to give you a league champion. , Deputy team! I do what I say!"

Carragher's tears flowed instantly.

He didn't hide his emotions, at this moment, he seemed to be crying well.

He entered the Liverpool first team in 1996. At that time, the Premier League had only started four seasons. Now the Premier League has been in 21 seasons, and he has always been a Liverpool player. After seventeen seasons, I didn't expect to have won a league championship this season when I was about to retire.

He has gone through that kind of mental journey. At first, Liverpool players felt that the league champion was in their hands. Whenever they want it, they can get it in a fight. Later, everyone gradually discovered that the Premier League seems to be different from the previous Premier League. In the Premier League, they can be the king and hegemony, but their set of the Premier League will not work. Then there is the accumulation of constant failure and despair, and Liverpool can win five championships in one season. Only one league title is missing. In the end, it was completely desperate. The Liverpool team no longer regarded the league championship as their goal. But I feel that to get the top four in the league, to be able to participate in the Champions League is a success.

Unexpectedly, I was about to retire, but Liverpool rekindled its desire for the league championship...

When he was hugged by Chen Yingxiong and said this sentence. The ups and downs of his twenty-five seasons in Liverpool appeared in his mind. On the way, there are many people walking with them. Like themselves, they have longed for a league championship, but they all failed. They got off the train halfway and stayed at that station forever. He persisted with his love for Liverpool. Unexpectedly, he got a surprise at the end.

Is this really a gift of loyalty from God to him?

Do not.

Carragher felt that if this was a gift from God, wouldn't the teammate in front of him be God's agent in the world?

This idea is crazy. He would rather believe that this is a reward for fighting hard with his teammates.

"Thank you, hero..." he choked.

"You're welcome. Vice team!" Chen Yingxiong patted Carragher on the back.

Gerrard did not go up to hug Chen Yingxiong and the others. He stood on the spot with his hands on his hips, looking up at the sky. He did this because he didn't want others to see him bursting into tears-it's really not good-looking, and it hurts his captain's image...

At the moment when the whistle blew at the end of the game, he thought of his cousin Jon Paul Gilhuly.

In the far-reaching Hesburgh tragedy in 1989, his cousin Jon Paul was the youngest of the 96 victims.

And Jon Paul's accident also prompted Gerrard to become a professional player. He still remembers what his cousin’s parents said to him when he made his debut for Liverpool for the first time: "Gill Huly will be proud of you. Stephen."

Recalling the situation in the past, when his cousin's parents said this to him. The expression on that face... His tears flowed uncontrollably, maybe they saw their dead son from themselves?

He likes Liverpool so much. He often plays football on the street in front of my house, wearing a Liverpool jersey, and he is very proud of him. The Liverpool club means everything to him. It is precisely because he loves Liverpool so much that he drove seventy miles to Sheffield to watch the FA Cup match between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest... Now that Liverpool finally won the Premier League title, he doesn't know how excited he should be.

Gerrard raised his head and looked at the sky at Old Trafford. The evening sun dyed the entire western sky golden yellow. In that cloud, he seemed to see his cousin, smiling at him.

Wearing a red Liverpool jersey, he said to his cousin: "Good job, Stephen! Good job!"

Gerrard raised his hand and touched his left chest, where both the Liverpool team logo and his heart were beating.

I'm fighting for you, brother, I hope you like this champion!

※※※

When Gerrard lowered his head again, he wiped a tear from his face, and then saw Chen Yingxiong holding Gerrard wanting to come by himself.

He greeted him.

Carragher said to Gerrard: "Now I can retire with peace of mind, Stephen. But a league champion can't explain much."

Gerald nodded: "I understand, there is still a long way to go!"

Carragher laughed, and he stretched out his own, while Gerrard put his hand on it, knowingly. Then the two turned their heads to look at Chen Yingxiong at the same time.

Chen Yingxiong also covered his hand.

Carragher put his other hand on Chen Yingxiong's hand, and then pressed it down hard: "Please!"

※※※

Chen Yingxiong was quickly taken away by the reporters. As the best player of the game, he is naturally a highly sought after object. Only Carragher and Gerrard were left.

Seeing Chen Yingxiong surrounded by reporters, Carragher pretended to be angry and said: "Every time I see Chen Yingxiong, I feel that I really should retire... Look at our two old guys, there is no sense of people anymore. Interested. The reporters are only looking for him. They are not looking for us."

Gerrard said nothing, just laughed.

He looked at Chen Yingxiong's eyes full of hope.

※※※

Chen Yingxiong was surrounded by reporters and bombarded with various questions, but he only needed to answer a word...

"Hat-trick played at Old Trafford, what do you think of the hero?"

"Cool!"

"Defeat Manchester United in the away game and get the initiative to compete for the title. How do you feel about the hero?"

"Cool!"

"You are about to win the league championship since the establishment of the Premier League. How do you feel?"

"Cool!"

"..." The reporters stopped asking questions. No matter what you ask, it is estimated that this one is just one word-cool!

※※※

Chen Yingxiong is very happy, but Manchester United coach Ferguson is very upset.

At the press conference after the game. A reporter asked him how he felt about losing to Liverpool at home and sending the opponent to the championship. His answer was very polite.

"It's just a champion." He shrugged, with a nonchalant expression on his face. "We have fourteen Premier League titles. Liverpool only has one. I think that explains the problem."

Regarding Ferguson’s question, Martin O’Neal replied in a later press conference: “Yes, we are far behind in the Premier League championship. History belongs to Manchester United, and the future belongs to us Liverpool.”

Although the competition between the two sides is over, the competition between them will not be stopped because of this, so the war of words can't be stopped for a moment. Martin O'Neill did this. It is also because he is the head coach of Liverpool. Since it is Liverpool's manager, he must regard Manchester United as his worst enemy. No matter what the occasion, he cannot give Liverpool a good face.

It's not just him doing this. Everyone of his predecessors, the various Liverpool coaches, followed this rule. Liverpool and Manchester United have not conducted any direct transfer transactions for 50 years. Every new Liverpool manager will get this advice-don't sell your players to Manchester United!

At the same time, Manchester United is the same. At that time, Manchester United defender Heinze insisted on moving to Liverpool, but Ferguson was killed and never let go. In the end, he would rather sell it to Real Madrid rather than make Liverpool's money. The hatred of both parties is also reflected in the famous football manager game fm-in fm2008, there is one more Heinze among the people that Manchester United hates...

So Martin O'Neill and Ferguson are so tense, no one thinks it's wrong. On the contrary, everyone thinks it is normal-it should be like this between Liverpool and Manchester United!

When did the two brothers get better and they are not normal...

※※※

When the Liverpool team left Old Trafford in a bus. They were sent off by the 20,000 Liverpool fans gathered outside.

They sang team songs and waved their scarves and jerseys. Keep chanting: "Champion! Champion! We are the champion!"

They were heavily surrounded by police, and Manchester United fans could not approach.

But at this time, the frustrated Manchester United fans didn't bother to trouble them. They left the stadium long ago-they didn't want to watch their rivals celebrating the championship and victory under their noses, it was undoubtedly salting their wounds.

The location reporter of Sky TV ended the report of today's game with the Liverpool fans sending off the Liverpool bus as the background.

"Liverpool people went home with the vision of the championship, leaving Manchester United to lick their wounds. This is really a passionate afternoon. When you have watched such a game, how can you not fall in love with this league? Owning such two teams is the luck of our Premier League! Thank you both for dedicating such a wonderful game to us. I am Sky TV reporter Smith. I sent it back to you at Old Trafford. Report..."
