Volume 3 Chapter 36 Starlight, Xuanzong Appears
Mackin took off the headphones, stood still in front of the microphone handed over, and faced the camera with a smile.
In the past two years, the boy who used to be dreaming has grown taller, and his face has lost his childishness earlier than those eighteen years old in life due to frequent competitions.
It's just that his black hair has not changed, it looks simple and casual, and he still wears a well-trimmed suit with a Bosch headset, and the FA's dress code is getting stricter and stricter.
"Well", he said, "two years ago in Zurich, I led the Under-18s to a victory over Castilla, if that could be called Real Madrid"
He shrugged, "I can still recall every detail of that fight, that fight was so important to me and it was so important to me that it started my career."
A teenager who will be 18 years old will fall into memory, this matter seems a bit out of place, but the reporter knows clearly in his heart that what is standing in front of him is a genius that Liverpool has not appeared in a hundred years, and every step he takes and every word he says may become a legendary footnote many years later.
"Today we stood face to face again, but my teammates around me changed, and the players opposite us also changed, but instead of the red and white jerseys, and the team logo on the left chest," he scratched his neck with his index finger, looking like he couldn't finish talking.
"It felt strange for me, when I knew that our opponent was Real Madrid, apart from the excitement, I felt that the road of destiny was unfolding under my feet again, but I didn't know what to meet or change this time"
"Do you think the beating to Real Madrid two years ago will be repeated?" , the journalist asked.
"You know", he said with a smile to the camera, "there is never an invincible opponent in fate, except for ourselves, so, let's see, what will happen in these 180 minutes"
Yes, fate, no one in this world can deeply understand the magic of fate more deeply than him.
At this moment, countless children in front of the live broadcast signal, holding the football in their arms, listening to their idols on the TV saying some words they didn't understand, and glanced at the hanging portraits of the stars on the wall, holding the football in their arms tighter, and becoming more determined for their future football path.
At Anfield, red and white covered the entire stand, without gaps, there were Reds fans, white knights, and many neutral fans attracted by the bright stars.
“Liverpool,Liverpool,Alays,Forever,Liverpool”
“HALA Madrid,Real Madrid”
Songs, shouts, and slogans come and go, reflecting each other, trying to compose a magnificent picture.
This is a feast for a wealthy family, and this is a collision of history! On this continent of Europe, there are only three teams that have broken through borders and dominated European football for a long time in modern times: Real Madrid, AC Milan, Liverpool, and the number of Champions League trophies speaks for itself: 9 times, 7 times, 5 times.
"This is also the second time that I have commented on his matchup with Real Madrid in white in the commentary seat", looking at the field with the flag waving behind the commentary seat, McManaman said, "I didn't expect time to pass so quickly, it's been almost two years"
"It's not the same time it used to be," says Peterson, "and look at the fans in the VIP seats, Anfield really shines today!" ”
"Daniel Craig, the new generation of 007 actors, a huge Liverpool fan, and Gerrard's film and television icon, he is here at Anfield today"
"Caroline Wozniacki, a Danish post-90s tennis beauty, became popular last year and won her first TA championship, and it is said that he is a big fan of Mark"
"Yes", Maika interjected with a smile, "I also like tennis, and last year, the new tennis star talked about his dream in an interview at the Australian Open, and he once said that he hoped that his tennis could be as elegant, wise, full of explosive attack and passion as Mark's football."
"She seems to have posted a birthday photo on her blog not long ago, holding Mark's Liverpool No. 18 red jersey, calling it the best birthday present"
"Bah, one of Mark's beautiful fans", Peterson continued, "Let's see who else, the West Side Boys are also here, they just finished their world tour last year, the first stop was Liverpool, and all three of them are Reds hardcores"
"Oh oh oh, look who I saw, Angelina Jolie, next to him should be his son McDows, this little guy who is just 8 years old is said to be an avid Liverpool fan and an avid supporter of Mark, and Julie should have brought him here on purpose today"
"Liverpool have a lot of celebrity fans, the most famous being Schumacher, but he didn't come today, and if all these stars had come, Anfield could have even walked the red carpet entrance ceremony, I think it would have been a star," McManaman said.
"Well, we saw that England coach Fabio Capello and Real Madrid legend Zinedine Zidane were also in the VIP box, and the star-studded level of this game, I think it is likely to surpass Old Trafford, which is also preparing to play not far away, if we introduce them one by one, maybe we don't need to explain the game anymore", Peterson said with a smile, "The players of both teams have warmed up"
"Hoo ......, Mark, Mark", the teenager wearing the red number 18 just came out of the aisle, ushered in the collective cheers in the stands, now in terms of the number of fans, he is called second in Liverpool, no one dares to call first, this season's dominant jersey sales are enough to prove it.
In response to the analysis that Jonathan persuaded Mack Qin before signing him, he is young, sunny, inspirational, elegant and not lacking in passion, and he has everything to become a football icon.
His Starry Sky generation sneakers, as soon as they were launched, were quickly out of stock, and Adidas greatly underestimated its popularity, originally they thought that Liverpool would not have a strong performance this season, which would affect Macklin's shoe sales, so the number released was not much.
Unexpectedly, he won the Champions League top scorer, Europe's golden boy, and after a dramatic transfer farce in the summer, his popularity ushered in a wave of skyrocketing.
Sunshine is smart, affectionate and righteous, the style of the ball is chic, young and golden, clean off the field, as soon as he debuts, it is like a comet descending, breaking records, this star who is just about to enter the age of 18 has gathered the fantasy factors in the hearts of countless teenagers.
Ma Qin, who has a middle-aged uncle hidden in his heart, occasionally found in the forum compilation sent by Ai Ming that he turned out to be like this in the eyes of fans.
Be famous, sure enough, you must do it as soon as possible!
"Mom, Mom, look, Mark is out, it's the first time I've seen him play live, can we get him to sign autographs after the game," said Meadows, shaking Angelina Jolie's arm excitedly.
"No problem, my darling, I think he'll agree", she said patiently with a smile, her son's birthday is approaching, and she will do her best to meet any of his requests.
"In the future, I want to be like Mark, wear the red jersey and play for Liverpool," the teenager said.
"So, do you prefer Liverpool more, or Mark more?" , she asked with a smile.
"Well......", the question made the teenager a little tangled, but soon his brows stretched, "Liverpool is my favorite team, Mark is my favorite star, this is not a choice question"
"Haha, honey, you're so smart"
Hearing the cheers, Mark Qin smiled and turned around and waved his hand to the VIP stand behind the aisle, he really looked like a superstar now, Caroline Wozniacki thought with little stars in her eyes, so she did something boldly, "Mark, I love you......", he stood up and put his hands to his mouth and shouted loudly.
It's okay to put it in the other stands, but it's a bit abrupt in the VIP seats, not to mention that many people still recognized her, and for a while they all looked sideways, and Caroline Wozniacki also sat back with a slightly red face, but fortunately it was blocked by the hair on both sides.
It doesn't involve feelings, it turns out that the feeling of chasing stars is really amazing, her heart is beating and she thinks that she can't help but be excited when she sees an idol, is it my fans who will be like this?
Of course, Mackin couldn't hear the words in the stands, but after he turned around and waved around the stands, many people felt that he was more like a prince here than Raul not far away.
Prince VS Old Prince, in the eyes of many people, this is a wonderful picture.
Hugh McAuray led the coaching staff to fill the field with all kinds of football obstacles, and if it weren't for the fact that there was a fierce game to be played later, the atmosphere and scene were really like a show.
"I just hope he doesn't have the same good form as he did that summer, otherwise," Zidane looked at the field and shook his head at the people around him.
Gago is far from living up to expectations, and there is also Lasana Diarra, who has just returned from loan at Portsmouth, and has had a fantastic season playing for both teams against Liverpool.
Zidane has no confidence that Real Madrid's midfield can compete with Liverpool, and in his opinion, if Mackin is more mature and can achieve the mellow of the latter part of his career on the basis of the present, then Liverpool's midfield can only be called perfect.
After thinking about it, he laughed a little, how could it be possible, a child who was about to be eighteen could reach this point, it was already appalling, how could he compare himself with himself who was almost successful in the later part of his career.
Good seedling, good seedling, I just don't know if I can come to Real Madrid, if he can come, I will teach him everything.
After nearly a year of investigation, the only midfielders in his eyes who can be qualified to inherit his mantle are Mackin and Modric.
As for the other rookie, Cesc Fabregas, he scoffed, he was a good passer, but he definitely couldn't be a master midfielder, and the La Masia system and Arsene Wenger ruined him.
La Masia and Arsenal are both places where system football is too strong, and the passing of players seems to be dazzling, but in fact they are all in one framework.
In this kind of place, there will only be excellent executors, not masters, and how to achieve the road of masters if they don't get rid of their traps.
Because any master has his own style!
From this moment on, Zidane has already germinated his metaphysical concept, and applying the ideas of our ancestors is the way of Huang Lao.
If Mourinho, Benitez and later Simeone are all representatives of the concept of restrained football, while Guardiola, Ferguson, and Wenger are all representatives of the control type, but the old man controls the balance, and the other two control the ball.
Then Zidane can definitely be called a model of a new school of football thinking, because he puts the players above the system and tactics.
This is a bit similar to the previous Brazil (now Brazilian football can no longer be called samba, Europeanization is too serious), each position is the best individual, then the team is the strongest team.
Although the applicability of this system idea is narrow, and it cannot be used by non-big clubs or star-studded national teams, this kind of back-to-back football path does bring a new breath of air.
At that time, Real Madrid played as they wanted, breaking a lot of stereotypes, which was reflected in the fact that the offense and defense were full of freewheeling creativity.
There are many roads, boy, which day will you take, Zidane smiled and looked at Mack Qin who was warming up off the field, his thinking has gone beyond the game, and he seems to be able to foresee the future......
