Chapter 219: Champions, Posters, and Statues
"I'm sorry, I just came to the Premier League and don't know much about it." Benitez scratched his bare forehead, his face full of confusion.
Looking at his realistic expression, a reporter subconsciously reminded, "TO is the Chelsea goalkeeper, he has six fingers on his left hand..."
After the reporter finished speaking, he couldn't wait to give himself a mouthful.
Everyone can see that this old boy is obviously acting.
"Oh! It turned out to be him! Benitez made a look of surprise and shrugged, "I didn't know he came to Anfield to watch the game, maybe he was a Liverpool fan!" ”
Is there a more outrageous answer than this, Fack?
As Chelsea's goalkeeper, Tang Wu did not go with the team to watch Chelsea's match with Crystal Palace but went to Anfield to watch Liverpool's game, and said that he was a Liverpool fan?
Leave this to the deceitful ghosts!
What's more, there have been no rounds between the two teams to meet recently, and even the excuse of "detecting the enemy" is useless.
This guy is simply too "cunning", and he even answered in a way like "one question and three don't know". The most important thing is that these reporters have no evidence yet, and if it weren't for a camera that happened to capture Tang Wu in the stands today, maybe these media wouldn't have been kept in the dark.
Although they were deflated here in Bei Bald, these reporters did not give up at all. Going up in trouble and getting to the bottom of it is their specialty!
Now that there is a rumor, as long as Chelsea and Liverpool are still in contact, it is not difficult to dig up some news!
For a while, Liverpool and London set off a wave of "paparazzi", and some people even squatted downstairs at Tang Wu's house to observe Tang Wu's whereabouts at any time.
On the day Tang Wu appeared at Liverpool, news reports of his transfer were overwhelming.
Liverpool fans who saw the news were very concerned, after all, the goalkeeper position is extremely important, and it can even affect the team for an entire season.
The next day, Liverpool reporters got up early again and "smelled" Tang Wu in the streets and alleys.
"What? 🔥 Going to Anfield again? ”
"Is this news true?"
", hurry up and show me, I'll be there soon!"
Tang Wu did not leave Liverpool, and he and Zhou Hao found a large room with a fitting mirror that night and spent the night happily. Then the next day, I got in a car sent by Liverpool and went on a "sightseeing" tour of Liverpool.
The first stop is Anfield.
Since the day Liverpool Football Club was born in 1892, they have played their home stadium at Anfield.
Anfield Stadium can accommodate five spectators, which is almost a third more than Stamford Bridge.
And there is another very unique thing about Anfield, which is that from the fence to the outside of the stadium, it is made of red brick. This red can be seen from afar, and it symbolizes a very unique, ancient and dedicated taste.
In the two years of the Premier League, Tang Wu has heard the home fans sing "You won't walk alone" here more than once.
It's become a Liverpool tradition.
Especially in some key battles and when the team is behind, this song sounds unique.
Tens of thousands of fans seemed to be the twelfth man in the stadium in an instant, helping the home team in the battle.
With no game today, the Anfield periphery wasn't packed with fans.
For the first time, Tang Wu and Zhou Haohao also appreciated this century-old building from the perspective of a pure tourist.
There have always been a few small vendors on the outside of the stadium, and huge posters of the players are posted on the outer walls behind them.
There's Steven Gerrard, there's Hyypia, there's the freshly bought Cisse, and even Alonso, who has never appeared this season.
"I bet that place must have been posted by Owen!" Tang Wu pointed to a blank mark on the exterior wall, and could see that there was once a poster pasted there. Judging from the marks left behind, it was torn off not long ago.
Although I can't understand Chinese, the pronunciation of the word "Owen" is similar in Chinese and English. Coupled with his own guess, the driver sent to pick up Tang Wu turned around and smiled: "That's right, it used to be Owen posted there." When he went to Real Madrid, the poster was torn down by angry fans. But even if it's empty, not a single star is qualified to be posted there. ”
Indeed, at Owen's level, no Liverpool striker can match it at this stage.
"Do you think I'm qualified to post there?" Tang Wu joked.
Andre was a very smart young man, and since the club had sent him to receive Tang Wu, he certainly understood what the club meant.
Andre's family are all loyal Liverpool fans, and he is about the same age as Tang Wu, so he doesn't mind having a capable player join the Reds.
"No, you won't!" Andrei shook his head anyway and gave a negative answer.
"Why?" Tang Wu wasn't annoyed, after all, he just said it casually.
Andre stepped on the accelerator, drove the car to the other side of the fan shop, pointed to the wall seriously and said: "This is the goalkeeper's place, you should stick it here!" ”
The area of this wall is very small, but there are also a lot of posters, and Tang Wu can see Dudek at a glance.
There is no need to ask Tang Wudu to see that the row below are all active main star players. The higher it is, the more decorated it is, the more decorated players it is.
"Who's that guy?" Tang Wu stretched out his hand and pointed to a black and white poster leaning against him and asked, "His hand looks about the same size as mine!" ”
Andre looked at Tang Wu's fingers and saw a pair of big black and white hands. The large palms are facing outward, perhaps due to the angle, and look larger than the face of its owner.
"That's the Flying Pig, Tommy. Lawrence! "He was the first-choice goalkeeper of the Shankly era, he won two league titles and an FA Cup for Liverpool!" ”
"Two league winners?" Tang Wu muttered, and then said, "If I win a Premier League title for Liverpool, will it also be posted on it?" ”
"Premier League champions?" Andre screamed, so excited that he almost stepped on the accelerator, "Oh! OMG! If you can really help Liverpool win a Premier League title, I believe it will be more than just a poster! ”
"What's that?"
"If you do win a Premier League, we'll definitely build a statue for you!" Andrei screamed.
Tang Wu didn't expect that this young man, who was also twenty years old, would be so persistent in the championship.
Tang Wu nodded and said no more.
The championship is too far away, just a casual remark.
Before the Premier League was restructured, Liverpool was one of the most successful clubs in the history of English football; But after the restructuring, 12 seasons have passed, and the championship has been won by Arsenal and Manchester United. Oh yes, and Blackburn got it once, too.
Liverpool have touched the trophy of almost every other trophy other than the Premier League title. Therefore, the Liverpudlians' obsession with the Premier League title is unmatched by any other team.
Andre's reaction made Tang Wu reaffirm what kind of team he had chosen. The fans here are the most devout believers, and the team with such fans may not be able to win the championship, but it is not a problem to maintain a top seat every season, which is the essence of the Premier League giants!
Looking at the endless red outside the window, Tang Wu also silently made up his mind, no matter what, he must earn a championship this season!
"Shall we go in and have a visit?" The car drove up to the stadium gate, and Andriy asked.
"No, I've been there many times!" Tang Wu shook his head, "Where is our next stop?" ”
"Our next stop is Melwood, and the coach is waiting for you there!" Andrei replied without thinking.
“ok!” After getting Tang Wu's affirmation, Andre stepped on the accelerator and drove the car to the suburbs.
By the time the smelling media tracked it down, all that was left was car exhaust.
