Volume 5 Chapter 25 Old Men, Old Stories

On the last day before the winter break, Atletico Madrid won a 1-1 draw from Bayer Leverkusen in the German state of West**, and Bayer Leverkusen was one point behind and relegated to second place in the group.

"I really didn't expect that one day I would make you an old guy weigh on his head", after the game, Macqin hugged Hyypia and patted him on the back vigorously, and said depressedly.

"Haha, this feels so good", Hyypia, who is about to retire, laughed loudly on the lawn of Bayer Arena, "Our coach Heynckes is very good, and he has a trick up his sleeve against you"

Fart's trick is purely that the gap between the main strength of their current substitute photo is still a bit big, and the recent schedule of this little devil is too intensive, and the main force is collectively sluggish.

After almost four seasons, Mackin finally realized how deep the bench foundation of those teams that can win the treble or multiple crowns is almost impossible.

Take himself as an example, he has hardly rested since his comeback, and he felt a little unable to run in the second half of this game, but he still has to fight for the first place in the group.

"Heynckes is amazing, you study hard by his side, aren't you taking the coaching certificate?"

"Yes, let's see, I feel like I can play for a year and a half, you can go back to Liverpool during the winter break," Hyypia asked.

"Let's go get a golden ball first, and then put it in Liverpool's honor room to offer it, haha"

Hyypia was a little embarrassed to think about it, the young people were progressing too fast, and the old people would feel that they were getting old quickly, and he always missed the moment when they won the league for the first time.

The best memories of life are no less than Istanbul!

At that time, Mark Qin was only 16, and it was only 3 years later.

patted Mack Qin on the shoulder, with pride and relief, "Congratulations, but don't rob us of the Europa League this season."

"Don't be kidding, I'm a Golden Ball winner, a European Golden Boot, a World Cup champion If I can't even win the Europa League, what kind of ...... will I mix"

A lot of old memories focus on specific people, and seeing them is like seeing the sunshine of the past, and that year is just right!

After the game, Mackin did not go back to Spain with the team, but went directly to Zurich, Switzerland, on his own Gulf Stream.

Recently, the use of his aircraft has increased significantly, not to mention flying Isabella back and forth at least ten times or eight times a month, and now Mark relies almost entirely on it to travel far away.

Gulfstream has promised that he is one of the first owners of his new model after it rolls off the assembly line, and this has also made headlines.

It's not that he wants to pretend to be b, it's just that who thinks his life is too comfortable.

This time it was not the scene of the French "TV Football" studio, and the award was not presented to the editor-in-chief of "French Football" Shomière, but the president of FIFA, Blatter, because from this year, the World Footballer of the Year and the European Ballon d'Or were officially merged, and Mackin was elected as he wished.

In the past year, his achievements have been almost crushing in nature, individual performance, team honors, all crushing, quite after the mark, not an inch of grass.

"I'm very happy that I fulfilled my promise last year", said the suit-clad Makqin with a goal in his hand, "I said I was going to keep a golden ball for myself at home, and now I have done it"

"The last year has been fantastic for me, especially in the summer in South Africa, where I still miss the wild savannah, and hopefully I have to carry it on and have a chance to come back......"

The next day, Mackin made a front-page headline of almost every sports newspaper in the world, including Time magazine.

"The World's No. 1 Superstar, Winning the Golden Globe Award for a Second Time" almost became the standard news topic on this day, and then took all the fans to recall the crazy performance of Mackin in the past year.

Now I ask, who doesn't know Mackchen? , by and large, it is no longer exaggerated.

Speaking of which, let's talk about the players who have won the Golden Ball in history: Cruyff, Kevin Keegan, Rummenigge, Platini, Van Bastet, and next, Mackchen!

He is now second only to Cruyff, Platini and Van Basten in the number of awards, and is tied for fourth place with five others.

Although he has no Champions League exposure, he is still the hottest superstar in the second half of this year, the reason is that he has won too many awards, not to mention the European Golden Boot and Golden Ball, and he has almost won some second-level awards organized by other media magazines.

In terms of trophies alone, he has won no less than 15 trophies in five months from the World Cup in July to the current winter break, many of which he has not even heard of, because they will not be reported in China before.

And with this re-election, he surpassed the 9 superstars at the beginning of 2000 and successfully became the special one, the only one to be won in the past ten years.

In the first decade after the millennium, he caught a tail and swept a large area that, as the saying goes, was as merciless as the autumn wind swept away the leaves.

But then, there's an even more ruthless dark decade about the three monkey cubs.

……

Winter in England is cold, but it never stops, especially for football, and Mack came back just in time for Liverpool's first snow of the winter.

It's not like the Spanish sunshine at all, and the winters are humid and cold, but for Mackin who has spoken the Liverpool dialect since he was a child, it's more at home.

It's hard to explain what comfort is, and hometown doesn't just refer to the place where you were born, many people's concept of him is actually derived from habitual memories, and you don't have to think about anything, it comes naturally.

Fit, strength.

Here he can swagger out on the street, and people just nod and say hello to him, and don't bother his life, and like to stay in the smile from the heart.

No one asked him why he left, it was a thing of the past, like knowing that one day he would definitely come back, no matter how long, they just waited.

Peace of mind and steadfastness.

Just like going home for the Chinese New Year, he has become an idler, and everyone around him is busy, only he runs and goes shopping every day.

It's so boring during the winter break......

Valle and Elmer have also left Liverpool, and Liverpool's younger group has slowly picked up, but they have no place and no substitutes.

They went to the Championship, and Christmas was busy, and Mackin just spoke to them on the phone, hoping that they would come back one day.

Tony's little bar is still shabby, but he has to hang out with relatives or something when he comes back, and besides, Mackin can't think of any constructive activities at this time.

But the years are quiet.

"Rowling said she didn't need to pay back her money in a hurry", Tony poured Mark a glass of rye, "She told us to invest more in infrastructure and pay her back when we earned money in the future"

"It's different," Mackin said, taking a sip of beer, "Liverpool is now a Liverpool with 100,000 member shareholders, not an individual, and things must have a charter, one is one, two is two"

"She's guessing you'd say that, this year we've had a good due, and our regular membership is doing well, better than expected," Tony said.

The legends of the past few years belong not only to Mackin but also to Liverpool, and their fans around the world have seen significant growth in the past five years, after all, there are many fans who are not fans.

Maybe it was not surprising that he followed a star to a team at the beginning and then stayed.

"These people are Liverpool's roots", Mackin nodded and said, "Didn't we want this because we had a membership system in the first place?" We don't have to be the richest, but we have to be the most special one."

"Abu, Mansour, Qatar and their capital will not invest in a club for decades, football is just a tool, a means, an investment for them"

"But Liverpool is rooted in this land, it's been a hundred years, and now I'm more confident in the next 100 years because I believe that the Liverpudlians will never let Liverpool fall"

As he said on the talk show Ross in Spain: Why did you leave Liverpool? From the point of view of fate, everything has a price, there is no perfect reality, only a perfect story.

Just as Mack finally began to understand why Mr. Jin had to write a Yin Zhiping, Ross was silent for a long time on the show for the first time, and then gave a standing ovation.

If you change your perspective and break the world, everything will be fine!

"It's hard for me to imagine these words coming from the mouth of a guy who didn't go to school and just played football," Tony snorted twice and accepted the bowl of chicken blood.

"Don't equate academic qualifications with knowledge...... my bodyguards all graduated with a master's degree, do you think I'm joking with you?

After Christmas, the whole family was reunited, and little Angel was already able to call her brother, so Mackin took her out and went to Anfield.

It's not too early to become famous, the children of celebrity families, exposure must start from the doll.

Christmas Express, Liverpool caught up with a Christmas game this year, vs Tottenham, don't be surprised, Tottenham has taken off, or Bale has taken off, they have reached the knockout stage of the Champions League this year.

Since Manchester City won the League Cup last season, the fifth pick in the Premier League is a substitute, hehe, it is Tottenham.

But this season, Tottenham's two-line battle is obviously not good, except for Manchester United, Manchester City, and Chelsea in the top three, and the fourth position is Liverpool, Arsenal, and West Ham.

"It's the first time we've had such a small guest in the studio," Peterson and McCa joked, "It's little Angel, it's so cute."

"Come, say hello to everyone", Makqin let Angel sit in his arms, shaking his little hand to the camera to say hello, the little guy is really not stage frightened, giggling and laughing.

"It's probably the most joyous Christmas live we've ever had," McCa said with a smile, "Let's get down to business, Mark, you can comment on the two teams first"

'Tottenham have been a surprise this season, especially Luka Modric and Bale, who have been impressive in the Champions League, but they obviously can't cope with the two-front situation'

'Liverpool are now forming their own system, we have to keep it up and I'm even happier to see Kante, Lallana and of course Suarez who are getting better and better'

"Real Madrid are rumored to bring in Modric to play against you, is the news true?" Peterson asked, seeing the stitches.

"Only Mourinho knows this", Mack Qin shrugged, "but at least Tottenham won't lose their midfield commander this winter, and the old Redknapp won't agree"

By this time, the players of both sides had already begun to enter, and "You will never walk alone" was sung again, and Gerrard led his teammates through the aisle into the pitch, which made Markin feel some nostalgia.

And he also saw a figure he hadn't seen in a long time, Gareth Bale, who had begun to clearly move towards superstardom, and if Mackin remembered correctly, this season's Champions League knockout round was his stage.

"Bale, hailed by the media as the next Ronaldo-like figure", Peterson began to enter the commentary rhythm, "I believe that White Hart Lane will not be able to keep him for long, Mark you and Ronaldo are old rivals, what do you think"

Makqin nodded, "Bale's talent is obvious to all, but to be honest with Ronaldo, he still needs to improve his shooting skills, especially his weak foot, right foot"

Moreover, Mack Qin said in his heart, you'd better not go to La Liga......
