The Ball at Your Feet

"How are you going to spend Christmas?"

When returning to England, Zhao Yaning did not get off the plane from Lennon Airport, but made a special detour to London to visit Beibei there.

In a few days, it will be the first Christmas after Zhao Yaning arrived in the Premier League. Zhao Yaning also wanted to ask Beibei to see how she was going to celebrate the holidays.

"When did you start celebrating Christmas? I don't have this habit." Bei Bei gave me a white look at Zhao Yaning, "Don't give me makeup, I don't know what you think? I really asked you to stay with me, you What are you doing?"

Zhao Yaning could only smile at this, "After all, the child just..."

"Don't tell me, I said I didn't want to listen." Beibei shook her head, "What should I do, no one is stopping you. Christmas, I have other arrangements."

"What arrangement?" Zhao Yaning was puzzled.

"I'm working now." Beibei said, "Volunteer. At Christmas, we have activities and we will be very busy, so I don't have time to care for you."

"What kind of job do you do? And, what is it?"

This sentence made Beibei smile, "You are still a Liverpool star, don't know, watch out for the fans to beat you. Go back to the club and ask, you will know."

Beibei refused to say, and Zhao Yaning couldn't ask. After he returned to the club, he was called into the locker room by Gerrard before he had time to ask questions.

"According to the club tradition, we have a party at Christmas. I want to discuss with you how to hold the party."

"Anyway, the party you prepared is really amazing." Carragher murmured, "Just say what you mean."

"I mean... I think we have more than 20 people from 13 different countries. England, Ireland, France, Spain, Germany, Norway, Finland, Poland, Czech Republic... IMHO, we usually communicate Too few. I think this is a good opportunity for us to increase exchanges."

"Say the point," Carragher said.

"Don't bring your girlfriend and wife to this party. It's us men, get together, have a drink, and have a chat."

"Find a few strippers?" The pair on the side spoke again.

"Someone here is married, so don't let it go." Gerrard smiled bitterly.

"More than twenty men, get together, just drink and chat," Riise looked at Gerald, "Stephen, if we really do that, then we don't need a girlfriend, we can find a boyfriend. ."

"That's what I want to say: let's go to a **** bar." Gerrard waved, "Everyone is a star, and they are always too reserved. So I think we should just go to a **** bar to make everyone happy. , Or a place where you are uncomfortable. I believe that having a party there will be of great help to our team."

"I regret coming here after listening to Stephen's words. Who are the people here?" Sitting next to the bar, Carragher spoke to Zhao Yaning, "Why would he think of such a place."

"I think the place he found is very interesting." Zhao Yaning said, "Did you not find out? Our teammates are chatting with each other now. None of them wants to chat with anyone else here. Captain The place I found is quite creative, and it’s impossible for everyone to communicate with each other here."

These words made Carragher tilt his head and think for a while, "You are right, I really don't want to chat with other people... Stephen's idea is really genius."

"It's also forced to be helpless. We usually communicate too little." Zhao Yaning said, "Vice captain, there are some things I think I should say. I always think that our atmosphere is very strange. Our players are on the court. At times, especially when we are behind, we work very hard and cooperate with each other. But after we leave the stadium, we don’t talk to each other. I don’t know how to say... It seems that the atmosphere of our team is not like a team. The atmosphere of a normal team."

"That's because everyone is panicking." Carragher said, "The team owes foreign debts and can't pay it back. The remaining players will have to be sold by the team someday. And the new coach is on. Taiwan, keep buying Spaniards, no one knows whether there will be a major cleaning in the team. Everyone is worried about their future. Who is in the mood to chat? That is to say, Liverpool has always been good to the players. Here we are. The quality of the players is also high enough. Up to now, no one is unsatisfactory in matters of the game. But after leaving the stadium, who knows what tomorrow will be like? Naturally, they are reluctant to communicate."

Zhao Yaning also sighed. He knows something about the team after such a long time.

In the Hollier era, in order to build a lineup around Irving, the team drove away technical players and built a defensive lineup. Hollier is indeed a good coach. He has built Liverpool’s defense. Riise, Finnan, Hypia and Henjoz, four outstanding defenders, none of them are worth more than 10 million yuan. Such a buyer can be said to be Top.

But his attempt to Frenchize Liverpool completely failed. The Ligue 1 players he introduced, except for Riise, have basically not been kicked out, and these people have now become a huge burden for Liverpool.

The new coach is now going to be Spanish again. With the precedent of Hollier, it is difficult to say that it is not worrying. And more importantly, if he really does that, that is to say, the team will inevitably face cleaning.

Diouf has been on loan, and Husky and Murphy have also been sent away this summer. Dior also lost his position. Traore and Warnock didn't have much chance, as did Pangler and Merlot. Among the veterans, Henjoz, Harman and Smicer are also in danger of being cleansed. Even Dudek once said that he would leave.

If these people really don't have any feelings for Liverpool, it wouldn't be a big deal to just leave. However, although Liverpool is poor and desolate, there is still a club culture. After Zhao Yaning came here, he discovered that the club has taken care of all aspects of the players’ lives. It doesn’t cost much, but it really makes people feel warm. At least, in this team, he really wants to go. There are not many people.

This is also the reason why everyone feels uncomfortable-they don't want to leave.

"To be honest, I don't really hate the current coach." Carragher said, "He is a good coach. If it weren't for him, my career would not be so smooth. He put me in the central defender position. He helped me a lot. But, I really don’t want to see any major changes in the team. Once a toss, the team will change a little bit. Who knows when is the head in such a day? France helps today, Spain tomorrow Help, in two days, the Italians? The Germans? After all, aren't all the Liverpool gangs? What are they doing?"

Zhao Yaning didn't know what to say, "If you want to reorganize, you must buy and sell."

"I know, but Danny has played with us for almost ten years... I can't just drive away like that. And, what if I can't stand up?" Carragher shook his head. "I have been tossing in a few years. , And I’m different from you, you can go to different things when the time comes, but I can’t..."

"Jimmy, are you too lack of confidence in us?"

"You are full of honor at a young age, and you have not experienced it. Liverpool has been through ups and downs over the years. How can I be confident?"

"Jimmy, I don't think you should have no confidence." Zhao Yaning opened his mouth, "You, me, Stephen, Harvey, the old captain, Louis, Harry, us people, the level is not bad. The coach is a good coach, we always Will become stronger."

"When Hollier came back, I thought so too."

"Jimmy, if you don't even have such a little confidence, what are you thinking about winning the championship? Looking forward and backward, there will always be problems."

Carragher shook his head slightly, "You are right, but I am just worried. I know that you have chosen the right thing, and Stephen has the same idea, so I took the initiative to let everyone communicate. You see, he is not How about chatting with Alonso. He is a good captain, he has no spirit, but he really is for the sake of the team."

"Yes," Zhao Yaning nodded. Gerrard's temper is indeed not tough enough to control in the locker room, but he is very good, and no one would doubt this.

"It's almost time, it's time to go back." Carragher patted him, "Everyone drank too much, and Jerzi started to dance... He was really bad. Don't let him be ashamed, call him, Leave."

Zhao Yaning smiled and said nothing superfluous. After this evening’s exchanges, everyone can be regarded as showing their true feelings, and the goal has been achieved.

"What are you doing?" Carragher patted Gerald.

"We're betting." Alonso answered, "I'm betting Stephen and I, who of us can get more people's touch-ups-don't get me wrong, we are not ~www.ltnovel.com~ just want to see our own attraction How strong is it, judging from the current results, it was me who won."

"You are a foreigner, so you can definitely attract more people." Gerrard said with a smile.

"Don't find a reason, you don't look at your forehead lines."

"Don't push me, push me, I will go to dance on the dance floor, there must be someone looking for me. I dance much better than Jerzi."

"Hey, what are you talking about!" Dudek came over, "Who dares to say that I dance better than me? I have confidence in my dance style, even on the court, thousands of people watch , I still dare to jump."

"It's a bet." Gerrard said immediately, "I don't believe it. If you dare to dance on the court in any game this season..."

"How about you? How about you give Alonso a kiss if I dare to dance?"

"Hey, don't involve me!" Alonso shook his hand, "Don't be kidding me."

"Don't worry, he dare not dance." Gerrard smiled, "Let's go, we should also go. I hope everyone has a good time tonight."

"Good shit..." Carragher complained, but pushed him anyway.

"Oh, yes, there is one more question." Zhao Yaning remembered something. "A friend said that she was doing volunteer work. What is it?"

"It's fine if you tell me this. Don't tell me if you go out." Gerrard's face was straight, "They are a group of people who deserve the respect of all Liverpool people. Their full name is: Hillsborough Justice A sports organization. It is a group of people who ran for free for the Hillsborough tragedy, calling for help, and working hard for the unjust cases of the fans."

This answer made Zhao Yaning stunned.
