Zhang Yuan doesn't understand why there are such remarks, just because of Liverpool's Champions League seat?! He didn't know, but he still responded solemnly: "I never said, I'm leaving!" I've only been here for a year and I hope to play for Liverpool for a long time! Whether or not I can qualify for the Champions League has nothing to do with whether I leave or not! ”

After the game, Klopp also responded to Gerrard's red card question, and he also defended Gerrard like Zhang Yuan, saying that Gerrard is a good person.

Whether Gerrard is a good guy or not is also relative, and the Reds captain has received a red card quite a few times.

Soon after the game, the FA's penalty list came out, Gerrard will be punished for three additional suspensions in addition to the normal one suspension for the red card, Liverpool immediately raised the above, but this is more of a gesture, Gerrard's malicious foul evidence is very strong, the FA quickly rejected Liverpool's appeal, upholding the punishment of four suspensions.

Gerrard was in a very bad mood and he was worried about his future.

Zhang Yuan is also very concerned about Gerrard's stay, Gerrard's tactical position can be seen in Klopp's plan is obviously declining, maybe Gerrard's stay Klopp is not so concerned, after all, he wants to build a young team.

Zhang Yuan likes Gerrard very much, this is his idol, emotionally he hopes that Gerrard will stay for a season, he hopes that Liverpool can hit the championship next season, and Gerrard's dream of winning the league championship can be fulfilled, but he is also very entangled, he doesn't want to interfere too much in the business strategy of the Liverpool team.

After a few days of stabilization, Zhang Yuan's emotions still prevailed over his reason, and he once again intervened in some of the team's strategies. Al made an appointment for an interview.

In Ian. In Al's office, Zhang Yuan begged the team to keep Gerrard, and the reason he gave was bizarre.

'We're in a transition period right now, we need a veteran like Steve, maybe he can't play a lot on the pitch but he's the best guy in terms of consistency in the dressing room and I don't think I'll be able to take on the role of captain next season!'

"Alas, Zhang Yuan, like you, I also want him to stay, but there is really nothing we can do, Steve has his request, and the reasons you say are also very good! We've talked to his agent a lot lately, but their asking price is still beyond what we can afford! He's 34 years old! If he wants to stay, he will have to accept a big pay cut, do you think he will accept it?! If it works, we can renew the contract for another year! "Ian. Al said.

Zhang Yuan thought about it for a while, and said to Ian. Al said, "You can't offer him too low!" He's the captain and he's got his dignity, but I'll try to get him to accept a one-year contract and lower my salary requirements! What do you think?! ”

"Hello Steve! I'm Zhang Yuan! When he returned home, Zhang Yuan called Gerald non-stop.

"Oh, hello!" Gerald replied nonchalantly.

"Do you have time at night?! Let's go to dinner?! Zhang Yuan asked.

Gerald agreed, he had a good relationship with Zhang Yuan, but the two of them didn't have much time to make an appointment, and Gerald was a little confused when he put down the phone, he guessed that Zhang Yuan must have something.

Regarding the renewal of his contract, he has no expectations after the red card, and his agent is currently actively looking for a home, and the team that wants him will not be less, the key is what choice he will make, and at the moment he wants to choose Major League.

The big league is a place where many veterans in Europe retire, where the salary may not be the highest place in the gold rush, but relatively speaking, the level is okay, and the United States is a good place, living habits and other aspects are not too much different from England, he does not need to adapt too much, if he goes to the Middle East or China, he and his family may be like living in a birdcage, inconvenient.

There is also a reason why I don't want to choose other small ball clubs, it is impossible for the small ball club to give him a high salary, or to reduce his salary, it may not be as good as Liverpool, but it will certainly not be as high as going to the gold panning, and then the small ball club is not competitive in competition, even if he plays well, what can he do, can he still win the championship?! It's better to earn more money and see life in the United States.

In the evening, I arrived at the Chinese restaurant where I had made an appointment, Zhang Yuan waited there early, Gerald greeted him, and then sat down on a chair and looked curiously at the table, on which a pot was placed.

Zhang Yuan invited him to eat mandarin duck pot, this Chinese restaurant does not make hot pot, but Zhang Yuan personally came to book, the boss was overjoyed, and met Zhang Yuan's condition, of course, it is not authentic and uncomfortable, but the oil is definitely not gutter oil.

Gerald was very unaccustomed to spicy food, and he couldn't stand it when he ate it.

"Haha, it's good you didn't go to my hometown! We eat spicy food every day! Zhang Yuan smiled, "Try this, it must not be spicy here!" ”

Zhang Yuan pointed to the clear soup, and it could be seen that Gerald must not eat Chinese food very often, and he was very clumsy with chopsticks.

"Steve, I'd love to say sorry to you!" The two of them ate a few bites, and Zhang Yuan suddenly put down his chopsticks and said to Gerald.

"Ahh Gerald was a little stunned, what did this kid apologize to me?! What did I do to be sorry for me, Gerald was a little dazed.

"I remember when I first got here, you helped me a lot! I appreciate your help! I remember giving you a promise that it would help you win the league! It's a pity that if you look at the current situation, I'm afraid there is no hope for this season! Zhang Yuan said depressedly.

It turned out to be this, and Gerald breathed a sigh of relief, he really thought it was a big deal!

"It's not your fault! It's the responsibility of all of us! I didn't expect so much to happen this season! This affected our performance! Gerard also said helplessly.

Of course he cares about the league championship, but there are some things that he can't get, and he can only silently admit it, this is fate.

"How are you thinking about your future?! Will you stay?! Zhang Yuan asked.

"I think maybe I'll have to go to the United States! The negotiations with the club have not been smooth, and there is no result yet, but it should not be left! Gerald said as he ate.

"Stay! Next season I want to deliver on my promise! You'll lift the league trophy as captain, definitely! Zhang Yuan said sincerely.

"I'm sure you can do it, because you have that ability! But I really can't stay, our negotiations with the club have actually failed! Gerald said.

"I'm looking for Ian today. Al talked, I ask the team to keep you! Zhang Yuan said, "Don't get me wrong! I think you're still capable of helping the team! Think about it right now that the team is in a period of innovation, the team needs a big brother like you to take the lead, you have the qualifications, the fans have no one in the hearts and minds of the players, at such an important time, the team needs you to be stable, and besides, I think you still have the ability to fight for the team on the pitch, and I think Mr. Klopp will see that too! You don't want the team to be in chaos next season, do you?! ”

Zhang Yuan was worried that Gerrard thought that he asked him to stay, so he said the importance very seriously and made full use of Gerrard's feelings for Liverpool.

Zhang Yuan persuaded Gerrard, hoping that Gerrard would take the last stop of his career in Liverpool instead of other places, why can't he accept a salary cut, at least within his bottom line!

Negotiating, both sides take a step back!

Next season is going to be good, we can challenge for a lot of trophies and win all the domestic European competitions without a problem.

In short, Zhang Yuan, who was spitting, said that Gerrard was a little excited, the fundamental reason for this heartbeat was that he thought, he wanted to stay, but the club didn't want veterans, at least he thought so, and now that Zhang Yuan was moved, he finally assured Zhang Yuan that he would discuss it with his agent, and if he could reach an agreement with the club, he would reach an agreement.

Soon after the incident, Liverpool officially announced that they had renewed Gerrard's contract for another year, which made countless Liverpool fans and Gerrard fans rejoice, and everyone actually hoped that Gerrard would be able to live at Anfield Stadium for the rest of his life, and he was the soul of the place.
