"Essien, hat a goal......, he beat Manchester United, 35 yards out, the ball hit the post, Chelsea avenged last year's final", in the computer, the second leg of the Chelsea vs Manchester United match is still playing on the loop.

The night is getting darker, but in the study of a luxury villa on the outskirts of Liverpool, the light is still not extinguished, and behind the desk, Mackin is frowning and thinking, he has been sitting for more than three hours.

The day after tomorrow, the team will leave for Rome, and he has watched Chelsea's recent game videos for half a month, just to find a hint of inspiration, attack, how to play!

The two league meetings between the two teams this season were all drawn, and although he suggested that the whole team practice penalty, it was just in case, and there was a chance to end the battle in regular time.

"Eshin, Mikel, E......," he muttered as he frowned, a pair of white lotus arms wrapped around his neck from behind.

"Rest down, dear, you've been sitting all night, drink a glass of juice," said Isabella, magically taking a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice from the side and handing it to him.

A little happiness pervaded, he smiled warmly, leaned on Isabella's neck with his eyes closed, and put his backhand around her head, "Thank you, dear"

Looking at the red and blue players on the computer, she has long been familiar with these teams in the Premier League, "drink the juice first, and think about Chelsea later"

"Okay", Mark Qin was as good as a stream, got up and twisted his neck, relieving his fatigue, "What have you been busy with lately, dear", he asked as he drank his juice, "There have been a lot of games lately, and I have neglected you a little"

Speaking of this, Isabella's eyes immediately lit up, and she said excitedly: "I went to see Angel two days ago, the little guy is almost 1 year old, so cute, just a little naughty, she and Sunny, a little devil, a big devil, giggle, I am happy to die when I think about it"

"I said that Peter has been around less recently, and he was busy with the baby", he replied with a smile, "It's a pity Angel is too young, otherwise I would have taken her to see her brother's first Champions League final"

"Hmph", Isabella wrinkled her nose, "Don't dream, Aunt Lily's baby Angel is amazing, she definitely won't take her to Italy, only me and Sannie"

"Baby, I see that you like children so much", Mark Qin put his arm around her waist and said, "Why don't we have one ourselves, hehe"

"Ah......, nasty, I'm not 20 yet", Isa blushed and buried her head in his chest, but women's circuits are usually jumping, and she then asked in a muffled voice, "So, do you like boys or girls"

"Girl, as beautiful as you, I've got a name in mind."

"Huh? What's it called", she asked, wide-eyed.

"Delphina" (Anfield's reversal) (KOP should know whose daughter she is in reality)

Eternal Anfield, eternal home, eternal story, spread on the banks of the Mersey River, and Mackchen's life has become one with this place, inseparable.

Here he met everything that meant so much to him in this life, football, family, lovers, which were enough to fill his entire life with no regrets.

But whose life can be so successful and perfect, there are many things that he can completely control.

……

Walking into the corridor, a smell of formalin disinfectant water came to my nose, I have lived in Liverpool for so many years, except for the time when Cowell was injured, Mackin has never been to Liverpool Central Hospital again.

He and Isabella are fully armed, caps, sunglasses, and masks, which make people look like celebrities traveling, but people in the hospital are not surprised, and there are stars every now and then, from all walks of life.

Isabella led him around and around the room, and came to a hospital room with a familiar way, first motioning for him to whisper, and then slowly opened the door with one hand.

It is a high-level single nursing room, and when I walked into the room, a Western man with a haggard face on the hospital bed was sleeping deeply, and his right leg was slightly hanging, which was shocking!

Probably for fixation, three circles of iron hoops were wrapped, and more than a dozen steel nails pierced from the periphery of his right calf, and Ma Qin felt a tingling sensation in his scalp when he looked at it.

"This is Andy?" , Makqin asked Isabella softly.

Yesterday, when Mack Qin asked Isabella what she was going to do tomorrow, Isabella remembered to tell Mark Qin about it.

Isabella has now started volunteering in college, and it was when she was volunteering at the hospital that she learned about Andy Grant (a real person).

This young man is a member of the British Royal Marines, and at the same time, he is a Liverpool diehard, a KOP.

In Afghanistan, Liverpool didn't know how many lonely nights he spent with him, but unfortunately, a few months ago, he was hit by a bomb attack.

And the bomb is very likely to take his right calf, listening to Isabella, his calf condition has deteriorated in the past two months, in order to save his life, the hospital has determined the amputation plan.

As a soldier, there is nothing more cruel than this, what will he do in the future? And the process was so painful that he came back full of hope, but two months later, he would have to make the decision himself, whether to save his life or his leg.

Why didn't the bomb take it away all at once, and torture me again, Andy was on the verge of collapse all of a sudden, and the whole person fell into a hollow.

"Maybe you can go and see him and give him some strength, after all, he likes you so much," Isabella said to him last night.

So there was today's itinerary, and Makqin took advantage of the morning to come over and have a look first, and then he could talk to the club and his teammates.

"Well, the doctor said that the operation should be done immediately in a week at the latest, otherwise it would be dangerous," Isabella replied softly.

Makqin slowly walked to the bedside, and in order to immobilize, Andy's entire right leg was exposed, and the wounds were all over it, which many people may have never seen in their lives.

To his inexplicable sadness, he saw the shocking scar on the knee of his right leg, as well as the tragic tattoo.

That's supposed to be the KOP slogan tattooed on the thigh, "You'll Never alk Alone!" But the bomb took away a part of it and became,

"You'll Never alk", you can never walk, is simply full of fatalistic tragedy.

Isabella didn't go over, she had seen it many times, and every time she saw it, she couldn't help but cry, so she didn't dare to look at it again.

The pain woke Andy slightly, and since that roar, he hadn't had a good night's sleep except for fainting, and a dark-haired boy was the first to catch his eye.

From vague to clear, the boy he had seen countless times on television, the Prince of Anfield, the heir to their new generation of leaders, but he thought he was dreaming.

"Andy, are you awake?" , Mack Qin asked with a smile.

"Andy, do you have any pain, do you need me to call a nurse," Isabella said.

"No", he was very weak, but he still showed a hint of brightness in his eyes, and said with difficulty: "Are you Mark?" Are you here to see me? ”

Mark Qin nodded quickly, stepped forward and held the hand he wanted to raise, "That's right, Andy, it's me, Mark, I've come to see you, you're a battle hero"

"Heh", he forced a smile, "I don't, I'm not a hero, it's God, Ann, it's arranged, you're going to play the finals."

"Hmm", Mark Qin nodded vigorously, and held his hand tightly, "Andy, you'll be fine, cheer up, you can still be like us in the future, alive"

It was as if it was back to reality, Andy's eyes lost their brightness in an instant, he lowered his hand, twisted his head to the side, and muttered alone: "It's okay, I know it, I'm going to be a cripple, a cripple"

"Andy, as long as you live, there is hope for everything"

Isabella turned around and secretly wiped her tears, a while ago, Andy even hysterically refused treatment, he couldn't accept the result.

"What hope is there for those who can't walk?" , A tear slipped from the corner of Andy's eye and dripped on the pillow, and the man didn't flick it when he had tears.

Makqin also quickly turned around and looked up at the ceiling, he didn't want to make the atmosphere too sad, and when the desire in his eyes eased a little, he turned his head again and said with a smile: "Hey, brother, this is not like a KOP, what is the spirit of our Red Army"

"Never give up, huh, brother", he didn't let Andy answer, and continued with his hand in his hand.

"Many people who have lost their legs have done a great job, not to mention that you still have a healthy leg, isn't it, the treatment technology is so advanced now, you will be like a normal person in the future"

"You can fall in love, get married, work, have children, and even play football with us, have you watched Forrest Gump? I like that movie the most."

Mackin knew that he couldn't make Andy think about it, so he talked endlessly, talking about Forrest Gump's long run, about his stupidity, and about his old lieutenant who had lost his legs.

"You didn't expect them to go out to sea to fish, haha, I didn't expect it when I watched it, I was so excited at the time, then I knew that life, myself, because of what will be great"

"Do you think Forrest Gump is stupid, or is he great? , if you want me to say, he is stupid and great, he is not sophisticated, but it is precisely because of this that he can focus, keep running towards his goal, keep running, all hope is not to be pursued, stop to lose hope"

Yes, you will lose hope when you stop, as long as you are running, hope is always ahead, this is for Andy, and it is for yourself.

"Thank you, thank you, Mark", Andy said with red eyes and emotion, he knew that Mark Qin was encouraging him, a superstar, a superstar of his favorite team, to take time to encourage himself.

"Look, you've lost alone," he said, pointing to the scar on his leg, "and you'll never be lonely anymore, you'll have a lot of friends, including me, we're all your feet."

"Come on, Isa, take a picture of the two of us", he turned to Isabella and smiled, "Andy will be a star running like Forrest Gump in the future"

"Okay", Isabella quickly took out her phone from her bag, clicked, recorded eternity, and this photo eventually appeared on the cover page of Andy's autobiography "You'll Never Leave, Because I'm Running".

Maybe it was Mackin's encouragement that had an effect, or maybe Andy himself had gotten out of that lost mood, and the two chatted for more than an hour, and Andy's words gradually increased.

"You know what, Mark, although I'm like this", he pointed to his leg, "but I haven't played a single game against Liverpool, you won Real Madrid and Barcelona, you played great!" ”

"It's a real honour for us because we have one more future star in our fans, haha"

"I'll watch the final as well, and then ...... And then I went for surgery."

"Well done, brother", Makqin clenched his palm, "you will be able to stand up"

Afraid that it would disturb his rest for too long, the two chatted for a while, and then they were ready to leave, and when he and Isabella just opened the door to go out, Andy asked hopefully: "Mark, Chelsea is not easy to play, but we will win the championship again, right?"

Mark Qin stopped, then turned to look at him at the door, and said with a smile: "I promise, and, don't forget to watch the live broadcast, when I come back from the game, I will come to see you with the whole team"

Run, Andy, Run, Mark, Run, Liverpool, because Run, hope is there!
