Chapter 267: One City, One Person, One Life (Part 1)
This is a new contract.
It's not a player contract, though, it's a coach contract.
The club intend to retain him as manager of the youth team, or more specifically the head coach of the Under-16s next season.
Almost after a moment's consideration, Gerrard signed the contract.
Peter. Moore said that Gerrard is Mr. Liverpool, how could Liverpool leave Liverpool now.
Jurgen Klopp says Liverpool need him.
He didn't think it was right, it was him, Steven. Gerrard can't do without Liverpool.
It was a contract he couldn't refuse.
It is also the best place to be!
After signing the youth team coaching contract, Gerrard was relieved, although he had previously decided to leave and decided to retire, but he was inevitably disappointed in his heart, professional players have to experience two deaths, one is the loss of life, and the other is the retirement of his career, and now this new job makes the Liverpool captain feel as if he is 'alive'.
Gerrard then joined up with his waiting teammates.
The players wore the new champions' shirts, and the number 19 on the back of everyone's red Liverpool shirt meant that it was the 19th English top-flight title in the club's history.
Liverpool FC has been preparing for this championship celebration for a long time, and the club invited some gray-haired old fans to the stadium to celebrate with the players.
In addition, Finnan, Hyypia, Carragher and other meritorious players who have played for Liverpool and made great contributions to the team have also been invited to Anfield, and this championship is of great significance to all Liverpudlians.
β¦β¦
It's night.
Anfield became the epicentre of a sea of cheers throughout the city.
Jiang Chenxi and his teammates enjoyed the glory of the championship, enjoyed the cheers from the fans, enjoyed champagne and beer, and on this night of celebration, Klopp also waved his hand and allowed the players to enjoy the wine to their heart's content.
Jiang Chenxi, as the biggest contributor to the team's championship, naturally received special treatment from everyone: everyone asked him to clink glasses.
"You're the team's champion, have a drink."
"Ha, Jiang, congratulations on setting a goal record, have a drink!"
"Cheers to the championship!"
"Drunk? Then have another drink! β
The final result was that Jiang Chenxi was drunk.
When Jiang Chenxi was sent home by the club's arrangement, he was already drunk, and he was going to hug his little princess, but the smelly wine on his body was disgusted, and Su Xun laughed on the side.

The craze for Liverpool's title has not yet passed, just two days before the match between Liverpool and Crystal Palace in the 37th round of the league, Liverpool FC held a press conference, to be exact, it was the personal press conference of the team's captain Gerrard.
"Yes, it's time to say goodbye!"

"I'm proud to wear only one jersey for the rest of my life."
"The Premier League title is my biggest regret, and now, this regret is gone, and I can leave with peace of mind!"
"Liverpool will always be my home!"
Gerrard announced that he would retire at the end of the season shocked everyone, they knew that Gerrard's contract with Liverpool expired at the end of the season, and they also knew that the Liverpool captain and the club had not reached a consensus on the renewal of the contract, and they also knew that Major League Soccer and the Qatar League were inviting Gerrard to join, and the general opinion was that Gerrard would leave Liverpool, however, he might move to Major League Soccer.
However, unexpectedly, Gerrard did choose to leave, but instead of going to another team to retire, he retired.
The reporters at the scene were boiling and raised their hands one after another, they had too many questions.
Was there a rift between Gerrard and the Liverpool hierarchy that eventually made Gerrard disappointing and choosing to retire?
There must be a story behind this.
Some reporters who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic became excited.
They feel like there's a big gimmick and a big deal to dig into.
β¦β¦
Liverpool FC and Steven Gerrard didn't give these guys the space and the opportunity to play.
Liverpool FC CEO Peter Murray attended the press conference. Moore then announced on behalf of Liverpool that Steven Gerrard had been officially invited to join the team's coaching staff, and that he would take charge of the Liverpool Under-16s from next season, continuing to work for the team he loved most throughout his career.
And at the press conference, the two sides also held a 'signing ceremony' of the coaching contract.
The Liverpool reporters at the scene burst into applause, they have not yet recovered from the shocking news of Gerrard's retirement, however, the club hired Gerrard to coach the youth team, although the captain of the team has retired, but he has not left, he is still in Liverpool, which is good news and great comfort for the Liverpudlians.
