Volume III Chapter 17 The Road Ahead

"Everyone needs to have a spiritual home, which may be the eternal harbor in the heart, which is so different from other places", CCTV channel finally broadcast the long-planned documentary "Chinese Storm" after the international match

"Who is the most educated person on the team?" , the voiceover asks.

"Brother Long, that's Alonso, it's said that he finished his master's degree in economics when he was in Spain," says Mackin as he makes a fruit salad.

"What about the least educated? Yes... Sorry I didn't ask", came a snicker.

Makqin: I'm a man.

"Who is the most passionate player?"

Macqin stopped the stirring in his hand, thought about it seriously, and replied: "Everyone in the team is very passionate, after all, this is Liverpool, synonymous with passion, if you want to say the most passionate, it should be Kuyt, he is like a fighter, when you can't see him stop and quiet on the field, he is always running, always shouting at his teammates, and he is crazy when celebrating"

"What about yourself", the voiceover asks.

"I'm probably somewhere in between, I'm very passionate when I'm emotional, and I'm calmer when I'm usually calm."

"Yes, after all, it's the brain of the midfield, and you can't be enthusiastic all the time," the voiceover echoed.

"So what's the next question, who likes to argue the most?"

"Don't think about this", Makin said with a smile, "It must be the deputy Carragher, not only on the field, but also in the training match, he will argue with the referee."

"Who likes to be late for training, and who prefers to practice extra after training"

He shook his head and handed the mixed salad to the camera, "Do you eat it?" ”

"Don't eat, thank you......"

He sat on a barstool, hugged a bowl of salad, and said casually: "Training is a very serious thing, whether it is Benitez in the past or Sammy Lee now, they are very strict with time, so almost no one is late"

"The only one who was late twice was Lela, and as for the extra practice, I've never seen anyone leave later than me."

The camera begins to blur, and the voice-over narration sounds, "Everyone sees his scenery, but many people never know the sweat he sheds"

"With what we know from the club, almost every day Mackin is the earliest to arrive and the latest to go, he dedicates almost all of the day to football, and with such talent and hard work, why shouldn't he succeed?"

The interview continued, "Is there anyone on the team who is more interested in management or politics? ”

"No", Makqin shook his head, "Captain Gerrard is usually a very quiet and simple person, just like our usual big brother next door, his leadership is mainly reflected in the locker room and on the field"

"Team vice-president, don't look at him as aggressive, in fact, he hates management work, especially politics, he said that he should be a commentator after retiring, more free, he can spray whoever he wants, and he doesn't have to be responsible"

"Haha......"

"I have a question I'm curious about, I want to ask, you don't have to answer it", says the voiceover.

"Well, just ask, I'm a good talker," Makqin said with a smile.

Laughing, "Well, I asked, you see you're at the heart of the midfield now, you're only seventeen, and you've had so many things going on and over the last summer, but we've never heard you mention the word 'pressure' on or off the pitch, and it makes me feel ......."

"Incredible?" , he said.

"Well, yes, you're like us girls, you usually feel under pressure at work, and you always like to complain to your friends or something, you're so famous now, why don't you have any news at all"

"Then I have to tell your leader and ask him to give you a salary increase, and look at the tiredness of our Yang Dajie"

"Haha", the beautiful host Yang Yi laughed behind the camera, but she couldn't see it on TV.

"If you really want to talk about it", Makqin thought for a while and said, "It should be that my expectations for this sport or utilitarianism are not so high."

"You see Maradona was banned, Baggio missed the World Cup, Zidane flew Hercules over his head, I'm in Liverpool now, there's nothing wrong with it, there's nothing wrong with it, there's nothing to worry about"

"Oh my God...... you can start classes with this mentality"

As the interview progressed, "Chinese American Storm (I)" was nearing the end, and it was planned when it was filmed, divided into three episodes, the first episode is mainly a recent interview, and the second and third episodes are mainly a comprehensive review of his achievements in the past year or so.

"Last question, are you really unmotivated in the face of an offer of 70 million in the summer? After all, that's 70 million, and if the transfer is successful, then your status in football, at your age, is unimaginable."

The figure gradually faded, and Mark Qin's voice came out slowly, "First correct your layman's cognition, the transfer price can only determine the player's status in the transfer market and the commercial market, not in the football world, or even in the team, but it will indirectly have some impact."

"As for transfers, for me, the price is always the last consideration, the first thing I think about is whether the team is suitable for me and whether it will help my development......

After the program was broadcast, Yang Yi's narration sounded again, "Mackin is already the most famous Chinese football star in the world, and after the recording of our program, he won the crown of the European golden boy soon after"

"After all the ups and downs, he still stayed at Liverpool, where he stayed for five years and continued to chase his red dream, while Liverpool also bounced back strongly in the last two league games, winning two in a row and getting out of the relegation zone"

"At the time of the broadcast, they are on their way to Madrid, Spain, where they will have a third round match against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League group, so let's wish Makqin good luck and good luck to Liverpool"

……

Not on the way, but already kicking in, and for other reasons, the show was postponed.

After the international break, Liverpool hosted Wigan Athletic in the Premier League, and the FIFA virus took Skrtel away this time, but fortunately, Liverpool's central defenders are still stocked.

Gary Cahill was able to top, Carragher had returned to training, and Liverpool were in full force to win 2-0 at home to Wigan Athletic, finally getting rid of the embarrassment of the Premier League champions falling into the relegation zone.

Mackin brought his country's good form to club competitions, opening the scoring in the first half with a curling shot from distance that opened the door for Liverpool.

However, the continuous fighting still affected his state, and in this Champions League, he felt that his legs were sinking.

However, he still resolutely refused to play, because three days later it was the league away against Chelsea, and he may not be able to rest, maybe it is useless to rest, it is better to fight to the end.

The game has been going on for almost 70 minutes, it is still 0:0, and in the second half, Kun Shen was substituted, and Mack Qin started his first meeting with Ah Kun.

"Hold on, hold on," shouted Kuyt, slapping the ball after tackling Simao's ball back in the back, who also played internationally and is now like no one.

Atletico Madrid is at home, and of course they will have an advantage in fitness over Liverpool, who have come from afar.

This was especially evident in the second half!

Liverpool were completely under siege for the entire second half by Atletico Madrid, who had not been so embarrassed in many years.

"Marking, marking", Ag panted and commanded the defense, he saw that Finnan on the right was almost unable to run, and pushed Cahill, "Pay attention to help Steve (Finnan) fill in"

'Liverpool had a fitness crisis after 60 minutes of the second half, it was a difficult moment and the players had to grit their teeth and get through,' said Liverpool TV's Walker.

"Whew", Mark gasped for breath, he estimated that he might have cramps after this game.

But he gritted his teeth and persevered, this game is crucial for Liverpool, and a loss will make it exponentially more difficult for them to qualify from the group.

Atletico Madrid were still under siege and they made three new players up front in the second half in what appeared to be a sign of victory before Finnan once again shoveled Raul Garcia off the touchline.

Only this time, he couldn't get up, Cahill quickly ran over and lifted his leg to help him stretch his tendons, Finnan, cramps.

Liverpool's main right-back, who has been in good physical strength for many years, cannot escape the erosion of time.

"Shit", Sammy Lee scolded secretly, and quickly let Darby warm up and prepare to play.

It was a temporary transfer of the right-back from the reserves, and he didn't expect his debut to be in the Champions League.

"Valle, you're ready to play", Sami Lee went out, and in the second half he only replaced Alonso with Lucas, and this time he was ready to make two changes.

'Liverpool were unlucky, Finnan couldn't hold on and they were ready to bring on two new players, Darby for Finnan and Valle for Gerrard,' said Walker.

For Liverpool, the hardships of the season have finally shown their cruel eyes for the first time.

"Valle, I'm almost unable to run, this is your first time on the pitch, don't be nervous, remember how we played Real Madrid U18 No, go to the front and wait for me to pass the ball", Makqin pulled Valle who had just come on the pitch and said breathlessly.

At the slightest chance, he still wants to win.

"Rest assured, understood", Valle nodded with rare seriousness.

Atletico Madrid really seized the side of Darby, who had just come on the field, and prepared to attack, but Makqin had long expected them to do this, and deliberately assisted in the defense.

Raul Garcia looked at the young fullback in front of him, who was a head shorter than him, and did not hesitate at all, and directly shook the ball with a big stride, and wiped it directly.

Darby, who was squeezed to the ground, was embarrassed.

"Darby was breached, he was too nervous when he first came on, Mark, he helped the defense...", Walker exclaimed.

Mackin started first, and the distance was shorter, and he got the ball in front of Raul Garcia, but he immediately faced a counter-robbery!

However, he already has a back hand, and he knocks his heels, and the action is bold in this area!

"Mark, he's got a kick on Cahill's heel, that's a big deal," Walker exclaimed.

Without a pause, he turned around Raul Garcia on the sidelines and immediately pointed ahead of him, "Gary (Cahill)," he shouted.

Following the ball that was pushed, he picked up his left leg from the sidelines, and shoveled it at the bottom of the ball with all his strength.

Valle, if you can't catch up, I'll deduct your salary! , thought to Makqin, who had fallen to the ground.

A red body wind flew up from the right side, except for speed or speed!

"Valai! Valais! He catches up with a single knife! Volcker shouted frantically, a sudden opportunity!

Valle ran as hard as he could, knowing that he had only one advantage for many players.

The goalkeeper Franco came out, the defenders of Atletico Madrid could no longer catch up with him, and the ball fell unstoppably, between him and Franco!

"Valais, Valais"

He stretched out his left foot with all his might, and finally touched the ball first, and then he was firmly lifted by Franco, who flew over, and fell into the penalty area!

"Penalty, penalty, Valle was on the pitch and Franco tripped him in the box", exclaimed Walker.

The referee pointed firmly to the penalty spot and then pulled out a yellow card, which he did not show given that it was a half-goal.

Makqin was still sitting on the sidelines of the backcourt, laughing and watching this scene, good job, brother!

He slowed down for a while, finally stood up and walked to the opposite side of the big penalty area, he is now the third penalty taker in the team, Gerrard, Alonso is not there, it is him.

"Well done, bro", he said as he walked to the edge of the box and hugged Valle, "you're going to be a star"

"Hey, hey", giggled.

Mack Qin let go of him and shook his head, picked up the ball and walked to the penalty spot, "Shhh......hh

How could Mackin, who had experienced strong winds and waves, be intimidated by this boo, he set the ball and took three steps back.

With an easy backbow, Franco completely misjudged the direction and the ball rolled gently into the goal!

“Goal… al… Al......, Mark, deceived Franco, Liverpool took the lead in the 80th minute", Volcker shouted frantically.

Just hold on for ten minutes and they will have their first Champions League win of the season!

Aguero, near the center circle, frowned slightly as he looked at the Liverpool players who were celebrating excitedly......
