On December 28, after the training session the day before the match against Swansea, Jiang Chenxi announced that he would invite all his teammates to dinner.

When Jiang Chenxi announced the news, he received heartfelt cheers from all the players.

Chinese are accustomed to deepening feelings at the dinner table, and in fact, this is a very useful natural skill.

When someone treats someone to dinner, everyone is naturally very happy, and it is the team's number one star who treats them, which is naturally more popular.

The players, their wives, families, and girlfriends were invited to Jiang Chenxi's villa to attend a dinner, where they ate and sang together, and held a small dance party.

At the dinner, Jiang Chenxi thanked everyone for their help in Liverpool for half a season, saying that he was very happy to cooperate with everyone, and he was very happy to work with so many excellent teammates, and looked forward to working together with everyone to win a better future.

……

Captain Gerrard, who has been absent from the game for two or three months due to injury, was also invited to attend, Gerrard nodded secretly, Jiang Chenxi, as Liverpool's number one star and the most valuable star in the Premier League, took the initiative to do the Dongkai party, and his words were very humble and decent, which can be said to have won a full house.

"This kid is good." Skrtel found Gerald, "a kid with a lot of emotional intelligence." ”

"What is your impression of him?" Gerald asked.

"Very good, everybody is convinced of him." Skrtel has a good impression of Jiang Chenxi, "On the field, his goals reassure everyone, off the field, Jiang did a good job, and everyone likes him very much." ”

"I want to recommend Jiang as captain, what do you think?" Gerrard decided to talk to Skrtel first.

Liverpool's captain is Steven Gerrard, and now, during Gerrard's injury, the vice-captain Henderson is the captain, and behind Henderson, the captain is Lucas, and then Skrtel.

When these players are not on the field, whose arm the captain's armband is worn, that is, who is the team's fifth captain, will be decided according to the seniority of the players on the field to join Liverpool. Johnson and goalkeeper Mignolet and Philippe Coutinho are all eligible to wear the captain's armband, but this has not been the case so far, so there is no real fifth captain in the team.

……

"I think it's okay to ......" Skrtel knew that Gerrard meant to nominate Jiang Chenxi as the team's fifth captain, and he had further ideas, "My opinion is that Jiang is before me and behind Lucas. ”

"Martin?" Gerald looked at Skrtel in surprise, he didn't expect Skrtel to not only agree with him, but also be more radical.

In this Liverpool team, in addition to captain Gerrard, the oldest are Skrtel and Lucas, who are older than the current vice-president Henderson, if it weren't for Henderson's attendance rate higher than Skrtel, in fact, Skrtel is also eligible to take the captain's armband after Gerrard.

"You know, I'm too quiet to talk. Actually, it's not suitable to be a captain. "And I'm more impulsive." ”

There is a sentence that Skrtel did not say, in fact, in his opinion, Henderson is not the most suitable successor to the captain, but Henderson is Gerrard's hand-picked successor, and in the current Liverpool team, it is true that only Henderson is the captain for the time being, and it is reasonable in terms of qualifications and ability.

Henderson joined Liverpool from Sunderland for £16 million in 2011, and initially he was known as the Reds' top three accounts along with Downing and Carroll. Downing and Carroll have long been sold to West Ham, but Henderson did not give up, he impressed Rodgers through his own efforts, established himself in Liverpool, Gerrard admired Henderson's fighting spirit, and considered Henderson to be a model of professional football, training in the gym every day, not drinking, very disciplined.

For Henderson, Gerrard appreciates.

……

Gerrard glanced at Skrtel, he frowned slightly, and vaguely felt Skrtel's hidden meaning, however, Gerrard didn't say anything, the captain's armband is not so casual, maybe Jiang Chenxi is qualified to become Liverpool's first captain in the future, but not now.

The team's captain's qualifications and abilities are equally important, Jiang Chenxi's ability is enough, and the qualifications are still a lot worse.

If he can lead Liverpool to the long-lost league title, the championship honor can shorten the shortcomings caused by the lack of qualifications.

There are some things that Gerrard won't say, he's silently watching, and he hopes to leave behind a passionate and promising Liverpool after he's gone.

At the end of the party, Jiang Chenxi proposed that everyone raise a glass together and end 2014 with a big victory, drawing a successful end to the upcoming 2014.

All the Red Army players toasted, and the scene was very enthusiastic.

The next day, Klopp learned about the party initiated by Jiang Chenxi from Kravitz's mouth, and the head coach Mr. who worked with Jiang Chenxi in Dortmund showed a thoughtful expression, and then smiled, and did not express an opinion on what his direct disciples did, but in the training this morning, Klopp looked in a good mood and laughed heartily.

……

That evening, 29 December 2014, Anfield.

In the 19th round of the 2014/2015 Premier League season, Liverpool hosted Swansea City.

Swansea are currently eighth in the league and level on points with Arsenal ahead of them, so the strength of the Welsh Premier League side should not be underestimated, as they won 2-1 at Old Trafford in the first round of the league to give Manchester United a big start to the new season, and Swansea also won 2-1 at home to Arsenal in the 11th round of the league and only lost 2-1 at the Etihad Stadium against defending champions Manchester City.

Therefore, when the media predicted this game before the game, it was generally believed that Liverpool was likely to win at home, but it was not easy to win easily, and once Liverpool did not play well, there was still the possibility of being forced to lose at home.

"Playing against a team like Swansea that is not a traditional BIG6 but has a good record is the biggest test for Liverpool." The game is about to start, Zhan Jun warned Liverpool, "Swansea are in a good position now, the whole team has a good atmosphere, there is no pressure at Anfield at all, it is normal to lose, and when you win, it will shine, once such a team plays well, it is still more terrible." ”

At this time, on the field, the referee blew the kick-off whistle, and Liverpool kicked off first, without testing, and directly attacked.

Jiang Chenxi suddenly fired a long-range shot from 30 meters from goal, forcing Swansea goalkeeper Fabianski to make a save.

Less than half a minute into the game, Liverpool were awarded a corner.

PS: Thank you for your concern, I took a day off and felt better in my eyes.
