Chapter 229: Silence before the game
() In the Tohoku region in September, the weather has quietly cooled. But the sultry heat of the end of summer is not over yet, and even in the early hours of the morning, it is a little unbearable.
All right!
In fact, Uncle Liu is a little itchy!
In the dark, Uncle Liu quietly lifted the thin quilt covering his body and sat up gently. The bare feet rubbed around the ground, and finally "groped" for the slippers that I didn't know where they were kicked when they got to bed. Then he propped himself up on the bed with his hands and stood up gently.
Having lived in this small house of less than 70 square meters for more than ten years, Uncle Liu can know where the furniture is placed even with his eyes closed. However, when he was tiptoeing less than five steps, there was a "bang" and his bare right foot kicked against a hard object.
"Hiss~~~" Uncle Liu immediately covered his mouth and gasped.
T, when I handed in my homework last night, I was a little sharper, and I moved the bed so much!
No, I must hold back for the sake of my wishes!!
The little toes were already swollen, and Uncle Liu limped and rubbed towards the door little by little.
I don't know how long it took, Uncle Liu finally opened the door.
"Purr..."
Just when Uncle Liu's hand touched the doorknob, the snoring behind him frightened Uncle Liu, and he didn't dare to move.
After a minute, he noticed that the tigress on the bed did not react, Uncle Liu calculated the time, his heart was ruthless, he gritted his teeth, and began to slowly turn the doorknob.
"Squeak..."
The sound of old door frames swaying could be heard in the quiet room.
I'll oil it tomorrow!
Jesus, Satan, Jade Emperor, Zeus, Guanyin, Queen Mother, Niang, Stove, Lord Blessing!
Uncle Liu silently recited all the gods he knew in his heart, and when he sweated his palm, the door was finally opened a small crack.
Uncle Liu, who usually has a herniated disc in his waist, is like a shrewd monkey at this moment, tucking his abdomen and chest, and suddenly got out of the crack in the door.
Then he gently closed the door from the outside, dragged a broken foot to the living room and turned on the TV.
The moment the door closed, a pair of eyes suddenly opened in the room. Those eyes were staring at the door, not knowing what they were thinking.
Suddenly the sound of a TV advertisement sounded in the living room, and then in less than a second, it was quiet again.
Aunt Liu, who was lying on the bed, snorted lightly and got out of the bed. She crept to the door and locked it from the bedroom.
This night, there are countless male hosts like Uncle Liu all over the country, carrying their wives and children, fathers and mothers, quietly turning on the computers, televisions, and radios in the room, and then the cats go to a corner where no one pays attention to listen or watch, waiting for the start of a Premier League game.
......
In the broadcast room of CCTV Sports Channel, Zhan Jun was wearing a suit and sitting at the table.
Huang Jianxiang was wearing a pair of jeans on his lower body, and his upper body was also a shirt turned westward, which was matched indecently, and he sat next to Zhan Jun.
"Yo, Xiao Zhan, you're still dressed so formally so late, did you just come back from a date?" Huang Jianxiang quipped.
Zhan Jun dodged Huang Jianxiang's hand pulling his tie, and also had a smile on his face: "Brother Huang said that he was joking, how can I have a girlfriend?" I once swore that if Liverpool didn't win the championship, I wouldn't get married! ”
"Hahahaha!" Huang Jianxiang laughed, "If Liverpool doesn't win the championship, you are still waiting for Tang Wu to tell you about your daughter-in-law!" Could it be that you like foreign girls? ”
Liverpool has not won the championship since the Premier League restructuring in 92, and it has been twelve years now, and Zhan Jun himself is 32 years old this year.
"Any country can be, as long as Liverpool wins the championship, I will marry the partner immediately!" Zhan Jun lifted his glasses, looking full of confidence.
"Tsk, this is Liverpool's diehard!" Huang Jianxiang shook his head and sighed.
Zhan Jun's mental outlook is even more than he likes Italy.
"Of course!" Zhan Jun's voice was full of confidence, "Liverpool is the best Premier League team!" Tang Wu is also the best Chinese player! The best of the two combined, this year is sure to win! ”
"Hahahaha!" Huang Jianxiang laughed again, "I don't care if Liverpool wins the championship or not, I just want Tang Wu not to drop the chain tonight!" He's our hope! ”
"Mmmm, Tang Wu is our hope!" Zhan Jun should also snort.
"Xiao Huang Xiao Zhan, you two don't chatter, the show here is about to start!"
The director's voice came from the microphone, and Zhan Jun and Huang Jianxiang glanced at each other, both of them put their hands on the documents on the desktop, and their eyes looked at the No. 1 camera, ready to start broadcasting.
......
At 2:30 on September 21, Beijing time, at 19:30 local time on September 20, in the dressing room at Old Trafford, Gerrard thanked him and closed the door of the dressing room.
"Come on, one of you will take one and tie it to your arm." After closing the door, Gerrard handed a bundle of black yarn to the starters.
"Captain, what is this?" Tang Wu naturally got a one, looking at this black yarn, he had an ominous premonition in his heart.
"Just received the news that Brian passed away from stomach cancer this afternoon." Gerald's voice was filled with sorrow.
"Oh! That's really sad news. Hyypia sighed and tied the black veil around her arm.
Hearing this, everyone in the room fell silent.
"Now let's start mourning for three minutes."
At the captain's behest, both the coach, the assistant coach and the starting substitute bowed their heads and prayed for the Premier League legend.
"Dear Lord, dear Heavenly Father..."
In 1998, Kaiserslautern completed the miracle of winning the championship in the Bundesliga, and since then some people have made the miracle of the promotion horse a myth of Kaiserslautern.
In fact, before Kaiserslautern achieved the feat, there were 17 teams in Europe who had successfully staged the miracle of winning the championship with promoted horses.
The first to accomplish this feat was Liverpool, who observed a moment of silence in the away dressing room.
But the most amazing promotion horse in Europe is neither Kaiser nor Liverpool, but an English team named Nottingham Forest.
Nottingham Forest in the first half of the 70s were not a strong team, and although there were no relegation worries, they also did not have the spare ability to challenge for League One (the top flight of England at the time).
In January 1975, the Forest's hierarchy made a decision that would go down in the club's history by appointing Brian Brown. Clough was the team's head coach.
In the 1976-1977 season, Clough successfully led Forest back to League One.
Before the start of the 1977-1978 season in League One, no one thought that Forest, who had used short passing, would remain in the first division at the end of the season.
However, it was a big surprise that Clough led the team that everyone considered the relegation favorites to win the First Division title as a promoted team. It is also the only top-flight title in Nottingham Forest's history so far.
The achievement of two and a half years in charge of the team to stand in the top flight championship position has made Nottingham fans crazy. And this season they also won the League Cup.
However, this was only the beginning of the madness, and in the 1978-1979 Champions League season, Forest defeated Liverpool in the first round with a score of 2-0. In the end, Forest went black to win the Champions League and defend the League Cup.
The following year, they appeared in the Champions League as defending champions.
In the final, Forest faced Hamburg who own the 1980 European Footballer of the Year "Mickey Mouse" Keegan. Keegan looked helpless against his compatriots' defence, and in the end, Nottingham Forest managed to win the Champions League twice in a row.
This season, Forest also managed to add the UEFA Super Cup to the team's Hall of Fame.
However, things are not going to be perfect, and a League Cup treble was as close as they once were, but unfortunately they lost 1-0 to Wolves. In the Toyota Cup, they also lost by the same score to the Uruguayan Nation.
After a brief period of glory, Nottingham Forest returned to mediocrity and remained in a position in the league until the establishment of the Premier League in the 1992-1993 season, when the former giant Nottingham Forest fell to the starting point of the Premier League with the strong return of Manchester United, and the Clough era came to an end.
“... For the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, are yours. Forever, Amen! ”
After the prayer, everyone in the locker room opened their eyes.
At this moment, everyone seemed to have drawn energy from prayer, and their eyes were bright.
The dead are gone, and the living still have to fight for glory.
Gerrard looked around, looked at his team-mate, his eyes were shining, his fighting spirit was high, and he raised his right fist high.
"Fuck Manchester United!"
"Fuck Manchester United!!
