Gerrard's strengths and strengths as an attacking midfielder are not in his playmaking and passing. In other words, the Reds captain prefers to use his mobility to attack the opposition defence, following behind the striker with heavy artillery.

Compared to Frank Lampard, Gerrard's long-range heavy artillery is more powerful and more attractive to watch.

Frank Lampard only secured the Blues' top spot last season, but Steven Gerrard is already known for his long-range shots.

Hearing the words "mountain top", Tang Wu's face showed a little embarrassment.

In that game, it was Tang Wu who assisted his teammate to score the fastest goal in the Premier League last season. Steven Gerrard and his Liverpool were the backdrop for that goal.

"That's all in the past!" Gerrard laughed, "If we had to go to Liverpool, we wouldn't have a ball like that!" ”

Seeing Gerald's smiling eyes, Tang Wu always felt a cool breeze behind him.

"I'm afraid that's not your purpose, is it?" Hyypia revealed his teammate's shortcomings, "I think you're more excited about long passes!" ”

As soon as Hyypia's words fell, Gerald's smile immediately paused, as if he had been stabbed in the heart.

"No, no, I won't ask for to.." The next second later, Gerald put on the same nonchaltical expression as before, shaking his head in denial.

"I can pass the ball to you!"

Before Gerald could finish speaking, Tang Wu on the side spoke.

"Captain Steven, although your position is relatively middle, I think it will be easy to pass to you."

"Really?" Gerald suddenly grabbed Tang Wu's hands, his face full of anticipation, "Are you sure you can see me?" ”

Hey, didn't you just look indifferent, why did you change your face in an instant?

"Huh? Haha, of course I can see that. Tang Wugan laughed twice, "But Captain Steven, whether you can take the ball or not depends on your ability next." ”

Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard are both midfielders, but Gerrard is closer to the middle. As a result, Steven Gerrard is likely to have one or more defenders around him when he plays long balls at the back, and it would be much more difficult if he were to take the ball away from turning and shooting like Lampard did.

"That's not a problem! As long as you can see me and pass me the ball! Gerrard couldn't think of anything else at this time, the picture of Tang Wu and Frank Lampard cooperating directly to break the Gunners' goal is still vivid. The Reds captain has been wondering if he would have done better if he had been in Frank Lampard's position.

After the trio discussed the tactical skills between the teams and the small cooperation between the players, Gerrard said sincerely: "I bet that if you join Liverpool at your level, you will quickly capture the hearts of the fans." And your arrival will also take Liverpool to the next level and one step closer to the title. To be honest, I'm looking forward to playing alongside you. ”

"Me too." Hyypia also stretched out his hand and shook hands with Tang Wu.

Without waiting for Tang Wu to make a statement, Gerrard continued: "Maybe Liverpool is not the strongest and biggest team in the Premier League, but it is definitely the most united team in the Premier League. All those who come here are united in one goal, and that is the championship! As captain, I will work with the coach and the club management to maintain and create such a good atmosphere. So in this regard, you don't have to worry either. ”

"Thank you for having me, Captain Steven." Tang Wu shook Gerrard's hand, "I have deeply felt the sincerity of Liverpool and you. ”

Hyypia is a Liverpool veteran, but he handed the captain's armband to Steven Gerrard last season. Now that the relationship between the old and new captains of the Red Army is so harmonious, by extension, there will be no radical contradictions in the dressing rooms of the Red Army.

This is extremely important to Tang Wu. After all, no one wants to be "bullied" by the old players after coming to a new team.

After saying goodbye to Gerrard, Benitez and others one after another, Tang Wu took a bus directly to John Lennon Airport and left Liverpool by flight.

Back in London, Raiola asked on the phone, "How, how do you feel?" ”

"Do I have any other choice?" Tang Wu laughed, "It's not bad, at least it's a little better than I imagined." ”

"That's good!" Raiola also smiled, "At the moment, Liverpool is the best place for you. ”

"Then I'll leave it all to you."

"No problem, I'll definitely help you negotiate a big contract!"

Hearing Raiola's "treacherous smile", Tang Wu shrugged helplessly, it seems that this "vampire" is about to start "eating all" on both sides again.

But so what?

Since you can't squeeze Chelsea's "superstar", let's change places and make yourself a superstar!

On August 27, the draw for the group stage of the high-profile 04-05 European Champions Cup was announced in Monte Carlo, Monaco. The four Premier League teams were lucky enough to get a good draw each.

In Group D, Manchester United will face Ligue 1 champions Lyon, Czech Republic's Sparta Prague and Turkey's Fenerbahce.

Manchester United CEO David Brown attended the draw ceremony. Gill was also very happy with the draw, "I think we got the draw and I'm sure Sir Alex Ferguson will be very happy. ”

In Group E, Arsenal were drawn with Panathinaikos, PSV Eindhoven and Rosenborg.

Arsenal agent Danny Brown, who attended the draw ceremony. Fischermann was happy to avoid the Serie A side, "Four of the eight teams in the second draw can be Italy, and we didn't have anything unpleasant about not being drawn with them. ”

PSV Eindhoven, the only threat to the Gunners in Group E, lost two big players in the front line, and everyone knows that the fastest goal in the Champions League was in the 02-03 season, when Arsenal faced PSV Eindhoven in the group. Silva's goal in 20 seconds.

In Group H, the biggest attraction is that Chelsea drew last season's Champions League champion Porto. Facing his old club, Mourinho did not say anything.

However, the quality of the current Porto team is very different from a few months ago, Deco has joined Barcelona, Ferreira and Carvalho have followed Mourinic to Stamford Bridge, and the two Brazilian stars Delle and Diego are both injured and will most likely not play in the first round.

The other two teams are Paris Saint-Germain and CSKA Moscow, and it has been a long time since the big Paris had a laugh after Ronaldo's move to Barcelona.

As for Liverpool's Group A, they meet Deportivo La Coruna, Monaco and Olympiacos.

Benitez's first reaction when the group was revealed was that the strength of this group was relatively average, and since it was average, it would inevitably evolve into a "group of death".

'Monaco and Laco are not easy to play, Olympiacos is a regular in the Champions League and they have a lot of experience in the Champions League.

'We avoided the big names, but the big clubs aren't necessarily the best, as we saw in last season's Champions League and League Cup.

That's right, Liverpool met two in the Champions League semi-finals last season, and now no one dares to underestimate Laco and Monaco.

And Liverpool's first Champions League group stage match on September 15 was against Monaco, and no one will forget the slaughter of Monaco last season's 8-3 home win over Laco.

CEO Rick. Parry, however, seemed to be very "open-minded", smiling at the media: "The important thing is that we are back in the Champions Cup!" ”
