"go ahead!

Move forward with the hope in your heart!

But you will never walk alone,

You will never walk alone…”

Long Shute heard this song in his dream four years ago.

But today, this song really echoed in his ears.

The evening of September 29, 2009.

Amid the singing of 45,000 Red Army fans, he stood in the center of Anfield Stadium!

Directly opposite him, the captain standing on the other side - 29-year-old Stephen Gerrard!

The coaching staff has told him the importance of Gerald to this Liverpool team.

When Xavi Alonso left the team and Mascherano was injured, Gerald was Liverpool's absolute offensive and defensive core. At the same time, he was the spiritual leader of the Reds! Flag! Soul!

If he can be curbed, Liverpool's offense and defense rhythm will definitely become chaotic!

No. 8 vs. No. 8!

Curb Gerald!

This is Long Shute’s mission today!

-

Long Shute was looking at Gerald, and the Red Army Captain was also looking at him at this moment.

However, compared with Long Shute, who was facing a great enemy, Gerald was much calmer.

What a joke?

who is he?

Stephen Gerald!

England's best midfielder in the 21st century!

Since 2003, he has been the best 11 people officially evaluated by UEFA every year!

In the past 2008, he was one of the 11 best players recognized by FIFA!

How many strong winds and waves have he experienced?

The little guy on the opposite side, how many days has he played?!

——Of course, these are voiceovers.

Gerald is definitely not an arrogant person, but for him, he has seen too many "Hope Star" and "Young Genius" who performed well when he first debuted, but soon became silent.

Especially in the highly developed media, everyone likes to praise each other. The talented young players are like sand that doesn’t cost money. They just bend over and grab it, and they are full of a lot.

Not to mention anything else, the little kids from Liverpool youth training team played well today, Meng scored a goal, that is Fowler's successor, Anfield's new king, Irving II, and then there was no news again...

What's more, what level is now? Everyone knows it in their hearts that the best player in the Eredivisie may not be able to sell 20 million euros in the transfer market. How powerful will a Chinese young player who has just played professional football for two months... be?

Everyone knows that pride is the enemy of victory, but when their side has a clear advantage, they will inevitably become proud.

Gerald is also a human being. The coaching staff also emphasized before the game that they had to strive for victory, but when he stood on the court, he still couldn't get nervous.

Although he was unwilling to admit it in his heart, when facing a young and young little head, he would involuntarily underestimate the enemy.

When he saw Ajax captain Suarez walking towards him, another thought flashed through Gerald's mind:

Hurry up and send these little guys away. There will be Liverpool and Chelsea’s league in three days!

This is the focus of the Premier League!

What's the point of this game?

Look at the little guys who don’t even grow beards on their mouths!

What else can I play in this game?

When you wake up, Liverpool will definitely win!

“hello, everyone, this-is-allan-smith…”

Alan Smith, the ace anchor of Sky TV, turned on the microphone and started working late at night.

The UK-based Sky TV is undoubtedly one of the most influential television organizations in Europe. It has always had exclusive live broadcast rights for the Champions League for many years. Of course, they will not miss this confrontation between Liverpool and Ajax.

The commentator was also a well-known Martin Taylor in England: "After the first round of the group stage, the situation in Group E was a little surprising. Liverpool, who was originally considered to be significantly stronger than other opponents, only won one goal to lead against De Breson, the weakest group in the group. Lyon, the overlord of Ligue 1, who is also considered to be a hot qualifying team, actually won two goals by Ajax at his home court. It seems that Van Basten is not satisfied with entering the Champions League group stage only."

"I don't agree with you, Martin," Smith shrugged, "Lyon is no longer the overlord who created the seven consecutive league championships. The main players have lost too much in the past two years. They have declined. Losing to Ajax is not an accident. As for Liverpool... they have also lost midfield commander Xavi Alonso, and it will take some time to adapt again. After two weeks of game adjustment, they are in good shape in the league. Now they are their home court. I think Benitez will definitely not let Van Basten take any advantage... What's wrong? Why do you look at me like this?" He noticed that his partner's eyes were a little strange.

Taylor smiled: "In the Premier League, I have never heard you praise Benitez and Liverpool so much..."

"Well," Smith, a famous Arsenal, looked righteous. "As an English commentator, in an international arena like the Champions League, I certainly have to cheer for the clubs of my country!"

Taylor pushed his glasses and shook his head with a smile: "The Italian referee blew the whistle to the start of the game, and Liverpool launched an offensive..."

-

Liverpool's offensive was interrupted just after crossing the middle lap.

Their captain, the midfield starter, Gerald originally planned to drive the ball from the center circle and drive straight into the top of the penalty area, and then use his signature long shot to give the young men on the opposite side a shot, but he only took three meters and the football was snatched away.

The one who completed this robbery was Ajax's No. 8 player.

After conceding the ball, Gerald even stood there for a while.

He didn't see the other party's actions at all!

He just felt that he was about to speed up when a black shadow suddenly rushed up right in front, and then... and then the ball under his feet disappeared!

That boy...so fast?!

-

Of course, Long Shute’s speed is so fast!

Van Basten did not arrange too many tasks for him. His defense goal in this game was Gerald alone!

If even Long Shute, who is recognized as the best in Ajax's defense, cannot complete this task, then Van Basten may have a headache.

Now... it's Benitez's turn to have a headache!

-

Benitez didn't have a headache so quickly.

After all, the game has just begun, and it is not uncommon for Liverpool to get into the form slowly - otherwise they would not have conceded three goals in the first half of Istanbul...

Ajax's counterattack was not successful either. Although Long Shute's long pass was received by Emmanuelson, Liverpool's right-back Glen Johnson rushed up with great courage and knocked Ajax's No. 7 without saying a word.

Emmanuelson rolled on the sideline and knelt on the ground and looked at the referee, wanting to appeal for the opponent's rude invasion, but the referee from Italy had no response to the physical collision. Instead, he signaled the Dutch wing forward to get up quickly and don't pretend to be pitiful!

Johnson did not look at him at all, but instead drove the ball hard and left the Dutch behind in just a few steps!

Ajax left back Bruno Silva quickly stepped on her legs and was about to lean on her back, but Johnson directly swung his right foot and pulled it hard behind the football!

"Bang!"

The ball rose into the air from the turf and drew a curved arc.

Silva, who was one step behind, didn't even have time to make a move to stop it, and could only watch the football spin and fly towards Ajax's penalty area.

There were tall and big Vertonheng and Oleg at the front of the small penalty area, but between them, a golden hair suddenly shone!

"Fernando...Torres!"

Alan Smith shouted out excitedly.

The red No. 9 player jumped high from the gap between the two defenders, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The long diagonal pass sent by Johnson seemed to be attracted by the long golden hair of the Spanish golden boy, and flew in front of him without any bias!

Torres shook his head hard in the air!

His movements were quite stretched, and his flowing blonde hair seemed to be a beautiful picture frozen in the air.

"Bang!"

But this muffled sound made this scroll impossible to become art.
Chapter completed!
