“Goal… al… Al, Wayne Rooney, Wayne... Rooney..., beautiful, volley, Palaitikosa can't save, 2:1, England overtook the score", Peterson hissed and roared, cheering for Rooney's crisp shot.

At the Maksimir Stadium in Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, the England fans who came with the team immediately burst into jubilation and hugged and celebrated.

This is the second game of the 2010 South Africa World Cup qualifiers in Europe, and the old enemy, Croatia, who kicked England out of the main circle at the new Wembley in the 08 Euro Championship, sat at home to face England.

England have been placed in Group 6, along with Ukraine, Croatia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Andorra.

Towards the end of the first half, Wayne Rooney had just received a teammate's overhead pass on the right side of the penalty area, and half-turned and scored with a beautiful volley.

"Wayne Rooney is in good form, this is his fourth goal in the first two games of this European Championship qualifier, he is a super killer for England!" , Peterson continued.

McManaman said: "But we have to mention Mark, who passed the ball to him... Hard..., which was also his fourth assist in two games, three of which went to Wayne Rooney, and the two young talents combined are immensely powerful.

After celebrating on the sidelines, Wayne Rooney turned to find Mackin and hugged him excitedly to celebrate, the two are bitter enemies at club but teammates in the national team.

"Good pass, Mark", he said excitedly, putting his arm around Mack's shoulder, which was one of the more beautiful goals of his career.

Just now England passed from the back to the front, Mark made a gesture to catch the ball, attracting the magic flute to come and press, but as soon as he turned around, he erased the unexpected Modric, followed by a cross with an outside instep, Rooney understood and immediately started to counter offside.

The ball went past defender Simic with a little bit of a small arc of external spin, and then moved away from him and spun towards Rooney, who opened his bow and fired a direct and comfortable volley.

"Capello's transformation of England was immediate, when he put Mark and Barry in midfield, which attracted a lot of criticism from the media and fans, and it was Sir Charlton who stood up at the right time to support Capello, so that he was not overwhelmed by the overwhelming doubts," Peterson commented on Capello's new tactics.

"In the first round, they beat Andorra 5-0 away, if it can't be explained because it is a weak team, then this away game against Croatia, England has an absolute advantage in the first half"

"Although Croatia was caught off guard by a rush at the beginning, they steadily scored two goals in a row and have begun to show their terrible attacking ability"

McManaman nodded in agreement and agreed: "Capello is very bold, put David Beckham on the bench, let Gerrard play on the right side, his attacking style of play is very similar to Ancelotti's AC Milan, Mark alone in the midfield to control the rhythm, with a double German in front, Barry in the back, and a mobile Rooney in the front, now it looks like the effect is surprisingly good"

Most of the English players are impactful, as long as they can give him space and the ball, and let them go straight up and down, they will be the best of the best.

But if you let him play with his feet and play with his play, it's hard for them to play fluidly, often because the pass is not in place or they can't see the opportunity.

These are Macken's best skills, and only a non-English head coach would dare to use a non-English midfield core so boldly, of course, Capello has never admitted that Mackin is the core in public.

"We are a team, everyone is an important member and we all need to play at the best level so that we can be stronger, no one is more important than anyone", said Capello happily at the post-match press conference, who won 4-1 away.

Mackin made a pass and a shot in this game, and finally scored his first goal for the national team, still a left-footed free kick from the right side, Beckham was not on the field, except for Gerrard, there was really no one who could grab him with free kick footwork, he did it overnight!

'Both games for Mark and Wayne Rooney have been phenomenal and I hope they keep up their good form because we have eight games left to play and especially Mark and I hope he is not affected by the state of the club'

……

After the start of the new season, Liverpool's form was simply a mess, except for a lucky 1-1 draw at home to Middlesbrough, the other two away defeats, only one point from three games, arguably Liverpool's worst start in recent years, and the worst start to the second year of the Premier League title.

England returned to London and were disbanded on the spot, and the next international game had to wait until next month, and Makqin and Gerrard got into the van sent by Jonathan to return to Liverpool, and this time they were the only two in the squad to be selected for the national team, and Carragher was absent due to injury.

"How is Fernando's injury", the business car moved slowly with the traffic, Mackin asked Gerrard about Torres's injury, the last game away to Aston Villa, Torres just ten minutes of the game, he was injured, I heard that it was a knee ligament.

Now Liverpool can be said to be overstretched in terms of personnel, Benayoun and Arbeloa went to Arsenal and Real Madrid in the summer, and the team did not buy new people to replace them, and now the right-back and left-back have no substitutes.

"I called him last night, and his comeback may have to wait for a few years later", Gerrard also said lonely, not at all in the national team, he scored two goals in two national team games.

"Shit," Makqin cursed secretly.

"Mark, do you regret staying now?" Gerrard asked with a helpless smile, with their current staffing and condition, plus injuries, he doubted that they were going to be relegated this season.

"Regrets?" , Makqin fell into memories, was it impulsive?

More than a month ago, the club was in chaos and panic, and of course it is not much better now, it is still half-dead.

Outside the noisy Melwood Gate, fans enraged by the club's £70 million sale of Mackin furiously besieged the club.

They scolded that in their opinion, selling Mackin was no different from selling Gerrard's club flag, Mackqin was the star they watched step by step from Corkby, not to mention his performance in the first team, he himself bears the Liverpool brand.

Manchester city? They couldn't imagine Mack in the moon blue jersey, they couldn't imagine what it would be like for him to return to Anfield for the rest of the team, it would be too painful.

Can you buy everything with money? Can loyalty be trampled on if you have money?

They are worried, scared, they don't want to see Liverpool's rise like fireworks, disappear without a trace after the splendor, and it can only be these fans who really dedicate everything physically and mentally to the team.

Those cold, ruthless people are standing behind hanging windows, silently watching all this, and it has never been these merchants and so-called rational people who have been able to share hardships since ancient times.

……

That day, Mackin got out of the car with a smile and looked up at Melwood, where what used to be a dream place has become so ugly today.

None of them came out, the board, the management, all hid behind the windows, calculating what the club could bring them.

"Mark, you...... Will it go? , the club has agreed to sell you", some bold fans asked Makqin first, their voices trembling, they were afraid of getting an affirmative answer.

Makqin withdrew his gaze from Melwood and looked at the faces of these fans, worried, lonely, angry, and mixed, and they were probably the most heart-wrenching in the face of a summer of chaos.

He turned and climbed to the roof of the car in two or three steps and sat on it with his butt so that the fans around him could see him and hear him.

"Guys, Mark, who you have supported with all your strength over the past year, is sitting in front of you now, no one from the club will come out to answer you, don't worry, I'll answer any questions", he said loudly.

Many media who arrived in the distance had already set up their cameras, and they knew that Mackin was going to respond positively to the final answer about the transfer.

"Brother, you", Makqin pointed to a young man under the slogan of MKQ18, "I remember you, you seem to be the 1000th member, and I will sign a gift for you personally"

Neither Jonathan nor Peter in the car got down, they knew that Mackin could handle the scene, whether to leave or stay, and they both supported him.

"yes, it's me, I'm a big fan of yours," exclaimed the young man, who was clearly a high school student, excitedly.

At noon, when the sun was in full swing, Mark Qin took off his coat, looked around and said with a smile: "I know, you all want to know if I will transfer and leave"

He looked at the eyes of hope around him, and said with some emotion: "To be honest, I am proud and proud to be retained by so many fans as a player", and then shouted loudly: "I am more proud than I played a beautiful assist on the field and scored a beautiful goal!" ”

"I'm just a player," he continued, "but it's you who make my job great and meaningful, because what we do on the pitch can influence your joys and sorrows"

"The club sold me, they need money", he sneered, "and sold it to a competitor in the same league, yes, football is a game of money, you can buy a lot of good stars with money, build beautiful stadiums"

"But I can't buy it here," he said, standing up and beating his chest and heart excitedly, "I can't buy you guys gathered here today, hissing to keep me a boy who has just turned 17"

"Manchester City can give me a lot of money, a high signing fee, a salary that has doubled, to be honest, it's fake that I'm not impressed, no one doesn't like money, I'm just a layman", he said excitedly.

"But I know that I can't go, I don't want to go, and I don't want to go!" , he hissed and shouted, "If I didn't play football, I would probably be a successful businessman and I wouldn't be short of money"

"But now that I've chosen to play, there's something I can't let go, I can't face myself in the moon blue shirt, I can't show up in front of you in it, at Anfield."

The nearby fans wiped their tears and shouted frantically, "Mark, we support you, we support you wherever you go", those words, to their hearts, few players can talk to them so heartily.

"It's right next door to us", Makqin pointed to the east, "there is our sworn enemy, Manchester United, who will laugh at me as a traitor, a greedy fool"

"It's less than 100 miles away from us, and I probably run into you every day when I go out, how am I going to face you guys at that time? Because in my heart, you are the great Liverpool! ”

"Mark, Mark", the fans around the car screamed, "did you say you won't leave, you will stay", they cried and laughed excitedly, unable to help themselves.

Mark Qin looked around, as if he had made the most important decision in his life, he was relieved, his heart was open at the moment, there was no dust, no decay, and sunshine was splashed everywhere.

It is a kind of comfort, a kind of no regrets, and a kind of wanton freedom.

Jonathan and Peter glanced at each other, as if they had already guessed this result, there has always been a fire in his heart, burning himself, and slowly warming more people.

"Without this money, the club will be very difficult, and we will be difficult this season, but I have always believed that the backbone of the team will always be people, and the belief that will not admit defeat!"

"I refuse contract negotiations and I will stay at Liverpool!" , he shouted loudly.

"......Boom", the whole outside of Melwood exploded, it was the most brilliant fireworks......
