Located in the northwest of England, Liverpool is famous for its harbour and is a city for Irish immigrants.

Rock 'n' roll and football are the two faces of the city.

Prosperity and decline, glory and disgrace, joy, anger and sorrow, all in it.

The vast majority of teams have teams first, and then build stadiums. But Liverpool is one of the few clubs built for the pitch.

Everton FC was founded in 1878 at Anfield.

In 1892, after a dispute over the operation of the business led to a split within the country, Everton ended their lease with Anfield and bought a plot of land off Goodison Road north of Stanley Park to build the stadium, which is now Everton's home stadium, Goodison Park.

Club chairman John Holding stayed at Anfield with another group of men.

They couldn't afford to waste the pitch, so they decided to form a new team and name the club after the entire city...... Yes, there's nothing wrong with that.

……

On March 15, 1892, Liverpool Football Club was founded, and it was later decided to use red as the main color of the team's uniform.

After Liverpool was founded, it quickly became the backbone of English football.

However, the hegemony of the Red Empire still has to start with the Scotsman named Bill Shankly.

Shankly took charge of Liverpool in 1959 at a time when Liverpool were mired in the second division and the team was in disarray.

But his arrival was like a breath of fresh air and brought new life to the team.

Shankly gave Liverpool the trademark way of playing: keeping it simple, playing on the ground, keeping the ball passing.

During his 15 years in charge, Liverpool gradually took the pinnacle of English football and achieved world-class results on the European stage (winning the UEFA Cup).

Of course, Shankly's charm is not only on the football field.

Shankly's ability to motivate his players is legendary, and his communication with fans is creative.

Wise as he was, he put forward the introduction of the trinity of "coaches, players, and fans", which has influenced it to this day.

The "Father of Liverpool" left many famous sayings, the most familiar one: football is not about life and death, but it is higher than life and death!

……

Every team has legends and extraordinary traditions, but few can match Liverpool.

Liverpool's glory began in the Shankly era and lasted until 1990.

Walk into any pub in the UK and ask an elderly fan, "What's your favorite team?" Most people would answer Liverpool.

It may be difficult to understand why they have such a deep-seated hostility towards Liverpool. That's because Liverpool was too domineering back then.

After all, it's a glorious history, and for Liverpool, winning the title is like a treasure trove of history.

There has never been such an era of monopoly: even after Shankly's departure, his successors, whether Paisley or Fagan, have done a better job.

Between 1973 and 1990, Liverpool won 11 top-flight trophies, three FA Cups, four League Cups, two UEFA Cups, one UEFA Super Cup and four European Cups.

Liverpool in those days feared all opponents, like a ferocious red machine, quickly crushing the obstacles that stood in their way.

No one doubts that Liverpool were the best team in Europe in the 80s.

……

"There is no such thing as the best team in the world, because the best team in the world was killed by Liverpool!"

"There are only two teams in the world, one is called Liverpool and the other is called Liverpool Youth!"

It was Bill who said this. Shankly!

Well, that's how crazy Liverpool was back then.

The "Reds" Liverpool was once synonymous with the championship

When it comes to Anfield's great deeds, the memories flood in, with breathtaking, epic comebacks, unparalleled moments and the thrill of victory......

……

However, there is no dynasty that will last forever.

The two stadium tragedies were related to Liverpool, and they also left huge scars and troubles.

On 29 May 1985, before the Champions League final between Liverpool and Juventus, a group of Liverpool fans attacked their opponent and knocked down a wall, leaving the Italians trying to flee the pitch.

Thirty-nine people died in the riots. This is the famous Heysel tragedy.

UEFA then imposed heavy penalties, with English clubs banned from European competitions for up to five years, while Liverpool were banned for seven years.

In this way, the glory of the Red Army in Europe was abruptly interrupted, and no one could say how many times Liverpool would have won the Champions Cup if the tragedy had not happened.

That's the hidden danger.

Four years later, the Hillsborough tragedy struck.

In the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest, 96 Liverpool fans were killed in riots and stampedes in the LeppingsLane stands.

This is another big blow for Liverpool. Although they won the league championship again in 1990, it is an indisputable fact that the whole team is gradually aging, internal morale is low, and competitiveness is declining.

……

As the sun sets, the Empire State Building has collapsed, and Liverpool, which once feared all of England and even Europe, is on its way to decline.

The 1990s opened a new chapter, and the rest of the story is well known. Alex Ferguson led another team wearing red jerseys and "dragged Liverpool off the throne".

sluggish, hesitant...... The long wait.

In 2005, Liverpool stood at the top of Europe in Istanbul, which can only be described as a brief period of glory, and after this short period of glory, Liverpool still continued to sink.

Liverpool finished runners-up in the Premier League last season, which thrilled many Liverpool fans, who saw the possibility of a red empire.

Now, Champions League winner coach Jurgen. Jurgen Klopp arrived, bringing his disciple, the Champions League Golden Boot Jiang Chenxi, the arrival of the most popular attacking talent in European football at the moment, which detonated the greatest enthusiasm and expectations of Liverpool fans.

……

August 12, 2014.

Liverpool, Anfield.

Around 30,000 Liverpool fans flocked to Anfield Stadium to welcome the superstars from China.

Video highlights are playing on the big screen at Anfield Stadium.

This is Jiang Chenxi's goal highlights for Dortmund last season, Liverpool selected ten blood-pumping goal pictures, and finally, fixed on the Champions League final at the Stadium of Light, and finally ended with Jiang Chenxi lifting the Big Ear Cup.

At the end of the video, Jiang Chenxi appeared in a Liverpool shirt, and the Chinese star visited Liverpool's honor room under the leadership of Liverpool's senior management.

"I feel the greatness and the difference here and it's an honour to be part of this exciting team." In the video, Jiang Chenxi said.

The audience cheered.

……

After the applause ended, the live radio DJ raised his voice and shouted, "Ladies and gentlemen! ”

The scene erupted in cheers, and everyone knew that the moment of enthusiasm had come.

"Let's welcome—" shouted the live DJ.

Immediately, the fans in the stadium shouted a surname along with him:

JIAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNG！

The whole stadium seems to be shaking!

In the cheers of the crowd, Jiang Chenxi was wearing Liverpool's No. 7 jersey, waved his arms, and ran out of the player's corridor!

……

"It's coming! Jiang Chenxi is here! It's official debut time, and to the cheers of 34,215 Liverpool fans, he's at Anfield! CCTV Sports Channel commentator Duan Xuan shouted excitedly.

In the stands, all Liverpool fans stood up, still chanting Jiang Chenxi's surname.

The atmosphere at the scene was so hot, even if it was thousands of miles away, the Chinese fans in front of the TV could still feel the warm shock of the scene.

Some fans got goosebumps of excitement, and a Chinese player, a 22-year-old Chinese lad, was in a foreign country, in a team with a long history and glory, to be treated with such courtesy, which made them proud, and they felt honored.

Jiang Chenxi walked across the red carpet, waved to the fans, and then stepped onto the rostrum.

Liverpool Chairman Tom Brown. Werner hugged the Chinese star, and then pushed the microphone in front of Jiang Chenxi.

Jiang Chenxi stood in front of the microphone, and when he looked up, there was a red flame.

"Thank you, thank you for the welcome, thank you for the cheers." Jiang Chenxi said, "Thank you Liverpool for choosing me, I am also honored to come to this city and wear this shirt, which is a shirt that carries great glory and glory!" ”

There were loud cheers, and the fans applauded Jiang Chenxi's words.

……

After waiting for the cheers to be quieter, Jiang Chenxi continued, "I understand what this shirt means, I understand my responsibility, thank you for your welcome and expectation, I know the history of Liverpool, I am amazed by the glory of Liverpool, once upon a time, we dominated Europe, the whole Europe was trembling under the red wave, these glorious histories, everyone knows better than me, because Liverpool will always be in everyone's hearts, now, I am here, Liverpool's name will be in my heart, The shirt on my body will always remind me that hard work, hard work, goals, victories, belong to the era of Liverpool, it is never over, it will only be more brilliant, because, this is Liverpool, because, we are Liverpool! ”

The scene was quiet at first, and then erupted in cheers like never before, with fans shouting, clapping, whistling, and cheering.

Jiang Chenxi's words were really great, and he said that their hearts were in the middle of it.

In the media table, there were English reporters with flat mouths, and local reporters from Liverpool and reporters from China applauded vigorously.

"With these words alone, Jiang Chenxi conquered Liverpool fans." Zhong Dajun applauded excitedly and said.

'It's not about conquest yet, it's about scoring goals on the pitch, but, at the very least, the Liverpool fans are definitely starting to like him now.' Yi Fan applauded and said in admiration.

In the VIP seats, Liverpool's celebrities, Liverpool's legendary legend, King Dalglish, former Liverpool captain Carragher and others all gave a standing ovation.

"That's what a Liverpool player should look like!" 'King' Dalglish said excitedly, "This boy is good! ”

Don't be cowardly, just do it!

That's what Dalglish's generation of Liverpudlians is all about!

At the end of the unveiling ceremony, Liverpool FC placed seven footballs on the scene, and the number seven was his jersey number, and then, Jiang Chenxi kicked the seven footballs in the direction of the stands, detonating the madness of the entire appearance ceremony.

……

Jiang Chenxi's debut at Anfield Stadium was the focus of English media coverage the following day.

The whole of England is talking about the Chinese star, the goal-scoring striker and his coach Jurgen Klopp at Borussia Dortmund, and the impact it will have on the Premier League this season and the landscape of European football.

"It's a nice restaurant, it's my favorite, you can eat authentic Egyptian food."

It was already three days after Jiang Chenxi's debut ceremony at Anfield, and Salah was driving Jiang Chenxi in his car and was taking Jiang Chenxi to get acquainted with Liverpool.

Salah was very happy, Jiang Chenxi also had a smile on his face, the two good friends had a sense of time and space travel, as if they had returned to the past, when Jiang Chenxi joined Basel, it was Salah who went to pick him up, and then drove him around like this, familiar with Basel.

"Well, at the end of that street, there is a big supermarket with a lot of things, and if I want to buy it, I will go there!"

"It's a wealthy area of Liverpool, the residents are all wealthy, a lot of the club's team-mates live here, the club is helping you find a house, and they should recommend you to live here because it's very safe."

"On the other side of the city, all the people who live there are civilians, well, and there are some places where there are immigrants, it's more chaotic, don't go there if you have nothing to do, the security is not good. Some time ago, it was also reported that Chinese tourists were robbed in the ghetto. ”

"In the eyes of those guys, the Chinese are synonymous with money." Salah said.

Jiang Chenxi nodded, with the help of Salah, a friend who is familiar with Liverpool, he can help him better get acquainted with Liverpool and integrate into the team faster.

……

In fact, after three or four days of getting along, the relationship between Jiang Chenxi and Liverpool players is still relatively harmonious, he is the star introduced by the team at a sky-high price, which determines his status in the Liverpool team, first of all, he booked a main position, not to mention that he is the team's head coach Klopp's favorite general, everyone has not forgotten that in the summer of the International Champions Cup and Dortmund in the United States, Klopp even specifically told everyone not to hurt Jiang Chenxi and foul him, although it was later found that Jiang Chenxi did not play, but, everyone remembered that incident deeply, and later everyone also understood that at that time, the team was already operating Jiang Chenxi's transfer, and everyone also understood Klopp's loving attitude towards Jiang Chenxi, which is simply the coach's own son.

Therefore, the team's current forwards, whether they are Sturridge or Bologni, are very interesting, and Jiang Chenxi is determined to occupy a main position and compete with Jiang Chenxi? Inexistent.

In addition, Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard also warmly welcomed Jiang Chenxi on behalf of the whole team, the old captain who is close to the twilight of his career, and he is very happy that the team can introduce a top player like Jiang Chenxi, and he sees Liverpool's hope from Jiang Chenxi.

That night, Jiang Chenxi invited the whole team to dinner.

Deepening feelings at the dinner table is one of the natural skills of the Chinese.

Of course, everyone didn't drink because the next day was the start of the new season.

……

On 16 August, the 2014/2015 Premier League season kicked off with a disadvantaged start to the opening game when Louis van Gaal's Manchester United lost 2-1 at home to Swansea City.

At present, seven games have been played in the first round of the Premier League, and the strange thing is that the home team has not drawn and lost, and only Arsenal beat Crystal Palace 2-1 at home.

And tomorrow, August 17, Liverpool will host Southampton in the first round of the league.

Although he has only joined Liverpool for less than a week, manager Jurgen Klopp still put Jiang Chenxi in the squad for the match with Southampton, and if there are no surprises, this game will be Jiang Chenxi's official debut at Liverpool.

According to British media reports, tickets for the Liverpool and Southampton match have long been snapped up by fans, who are looking forward to witnessing the debut of Liverpool's most expensive star ever at Anfield Stadium in person!

PS: The two-in-one chapter, asking for a monthly pass, a new era belonging to Jiang Chenxi has opened......
