"Roaring ......", the blue fans in the stands went crazy, and their colours looked even brighter today at the new Wembley Stadium.

The scoreboard above the stands reads 0:2 and Crouch ran to the corner flag area and didn't celebrate, just slapped his chest at the Portsmouth fans in the stands.

The Liverpool players walked back with their heads down, dejected, and had no desire to shout or speak.

The song "You'll never walk alone" is no longer so loud, and the anticipation of many Reds fans for the new season has been like being poured cold water from the first game.

It's cold and biting!

This is the scene of the English Community Shield, the time is said to be on August 6, 2008, 70 minutes into the second half, Liverpool just two goals down.

Alonso, who was on the bench, looked sluggish and was sent off for a vicious tackle just 30 minutes into the game, and they didn't communicate anything as they passed Benitez.

Everyone's minds were not on the field, including their head coach Rafael Benitez, and it was a chaotic and chaotic summer that left people feeling tormented.

It even affected their preparations for the new season, with only one win in the warm-up game, and since then, Liverpool fans have been prepared in their hearts.

Today's first official game of the season only turned that fear into a stark reality.

No motivation, no desire, no passion, nothing, this, is it still the same Liverpool?

They were champions a few months ago, trampling their arch-rivals Manchester United, but now even Portsmouth can be unbridled in front of them.

Beating the Premier League champions, they must be very happy in their hearts.

Makqin stood helplessly on the court with his waist crossed, he knew why, but there was nothing he could do.

A few days ago, Liverpool's board of directors finally reacted to the transfer of the season, but there was decay everywhere.

The negotiating delegations from Barcelona and Real Madrid have arrived in Liverpool to officially start negotiations on the transfers of Mackin and Alonso.

Regarding Torres, Liverpool has officially given a reply, 80 million pounds, Chelsea said why don't you go and grab it?

Benayoun's move is going well, with Liverpool having agreed to Arsenal's offer and now officially commencing contract talks.

At this time, it is no wonder that the team can perform well.

"Don't go, Alonso, Mark, stay ...... Liverpool", "Have you forgotten our title last year? As soon as the team left the stadium, they were surrounded by excited fans, who did not blame the team for losing the Community Shield, but just cried to the fans to keep them......

All the fans know what they mean to Liverpool, and if they are gone, Liverpool will be at least half as good as they are.

It's just that all the players are expressionless, not numb, but really don't know what to say, and many things are not something they can control.

As the Liverpool bus faded away, it was followed by a group of reluctant fans who were hoping for someone to come out and say, "I'll stay"

But no, everything has to wait for the outcome of the negotiations, and what can they say if the club wants to exchange them for money.

Alonso actually didn't want to leave, he was about to become a celebrity, how could he be a deserter at this time, but in the current situation, he really didn't have confidence in how he should spend this year.

Macqin looked back at the fans who were chasing after him, his eyes were a little moist, he was also facing this situation for the first time, only then did he know that the transfer farce that he used to watch on TV was really tormented, for them, they are just a commodity in the market, how much say can they have?

……

It's still the height of summer, but the whole of Liverpool is cool with an autumn breeze.

"No, no, no, you're a robbery, even if Mark had a phenomenal performance last season, he wouldn't have been worth so much money, we've shown sincerity and you have to show sincerity if you want to make the transfer go through," Barça vice-president Albert said from one side of the table.

"No, no", Parry also shook his head, "you know, Mark was raised by us at Liverpool, he is the prince here, how much fan wrath do we have to bear to sell him?" In addition, I don't need to repeat the market value of Mark, this price is not high"

Robinho's transfer fee is £40 million, so why is your asking price of £70 million not high? Albert would have liked to have a real PK, if it weren't for Pep wanting to get Mack Qin too much.

Parry really doesn't feel high, and it's very painful, let's not talk about the competitive value, just this year's sponsorship and market income brought by Mackin are almost 20 million pounds, last year he won the Premier League championship as the main force, and won the Champions League Golden Boot, how many will there be this year?

If it weren't for David Moore's selling to fill the hole, how could Liverpool sell the next captain, who is now the third captain.

David Moore's order to him is to recoup at least £50 million from the transfer market so that Liverpool can survive under him this year.

He was promoted by David Moore, and although he knew that David was now insane, he had to do what he wanted, and Benitez's transfer authority was completely withdrawn.

Albert stood up and paced back and forth a few steps, sullen for a moment, he had never talked about such a negotiation, they were Barcelona.

But Liverpool is biting 70 million pounds and not letting go, unless he doesn't buy it, he has to go out and call Pep.

Over there, Real Madrid reached an agreement with Liverpool on the price of Alonso, and it was Al who was in charge of the negotiations, 55 million pounds, and Liverpool took advantage of the momentum of the Premier League title, and the players were generally worth a lot.

But they had a disagreement over the payment method, and Calderón's method of getting money was at least 108,000 miles worse than Florentino's, and they could not afford to pay it all at once.

Al scolded for a while, he didn't even have 55 million, are you liaring to offer Manchester United 80 million pounds to buy Ronaldo?

Real Madrid want to pay in installments, Liverpool don't agree, all they want now is cash.

Over there, Albert finally finished communicating with Pep, and Pep gritted his teeth and agreed.

But it was useless for him to agree, it had to be agreed by the Barcelona management, and he had to wait for Pep to explain the application to the management.

……

Les Echo: Real Madrid and Liverpool have agreed on transfer talks for Alonso.

Alonso, the core of Liverpool's midfield, now has only two years left in the contract, Real Madrid finally agreed to Liverpool's offer of 55 million, but due to the problem of payment methods, Liverpool finally agreed that Real Madrid will make a down payment of 25 million first, and the remaining 30 million will be paid in three years, and Alonso will return to Liverpool for one year this year and officially leave the team next year.

Sport: Barcelona did not agree with Liverpool on the transfer of Mark, and Liverpool rejected Barcelona's instalment payment after Alonso reached an agreement, because Manchester City officially made an offer for Mark, £70 million! , he could be the king of the summer this summer!

Mackin can talk to Manchester City about the contract, he suddenly feels a little funny, rich is the master, you guys are doing it, it's better to say a word!

Jonathan, Peter, and Isabella all sat in the living room, looking at Mackin as he was spinning around, silent.

"Mark, this transfer has exceeded my estimates, I'm sorry, Barcelona can't afford to make such a high offer, and the management won't agree", Pep said with some dismay on the phone.

"Hehe, Pep, I should thank you, your fancy gives me a lot of confidence and makes me more confident to play on the field, to be honest, I don't like Barcelona, the reason why I promised you in Moscow is only because you are there", Makqin sighed.

"You're going to be the best manager in the world, and I'm sure I'd love to get the most out of me under you, but not everything in this world, can you?"

Pep Guardiola nodded and said: "Thank you for your confidence in me, I also believe that I will be the best coach, although we can't work together this year, we are already friends, maybe we will have a chance in the future"

"Well, good luck, Pep, and besides, I love your football"

Pep hung up, touched his head, and sighed, Like my football? Did you know that, I love the way you play.

If there is an ancient style in football, they are definitely confidants on the same road, and their ideas and ideals coincide!

Inter Milan withdrew from the negotiations early because Mourinho felt that Mackin was not worth the price, and now he is faced with a choice, oh no, he has no choice!

Jonathan looked at Ma Qin, who was still pacing back and forth after putting down the phone, he wanted to speak but didn't say it, he clearly knew that at this time, he would not listen to anyone's opinions.

He will only make his own decisions and decide for himself!

The moment Liverpool agreed to Manchester City's offer, many fans throughout Liverpool went crazy, especially the fans of the MKQ18 Supporters' Association, who held signs and shouted outside Melwood.

"Garbage board! Get out of Liverpool! "How dare you betray our prince! ", "Shit, 70 million, 700 million can't buy him a thigh!" “

"You money-grubs", "Moths", "You're going to ruin Liverpool"

Benitez and Parry looked at the noise and chaos outside the door, and sighed with some embarrassment, just three months ago, they were here cheering for Liverpool and singing praises.

Can you blame them, Benitez is upset, Parry is also upset, David Moores still has some very old supporters on the board, Benitez thinks of him too simply, he wonders how Dubai International can control the situation in August.

But it turns out that this is still David Moores's kingdom, and even if everyone expects him to leave for Liverpool to get a new lease of life, so what?

Blood and passion, many times will be defeated at the feet of cold interests.

Mackin finally cut off that trace of blood and women's kindness in his heart, his love, his loyalty, should only belong to Liverpool fans, and has nothing to do with the club.

Peter and Parry watched as Mark carefully changed his clothes and combed his hair, and looked at each other meticulously, not knowing what he was going to do.

Isabella seemed to feel his determination, and went up to help him tidy up his clothes silently, "Mark, don't get excited, deal with it calmly", she admonished.

Mackin patted her hand and gave her a reassuring look, "I know what to do"

Turning to Peter and Jonathan, he said, "Let's go, let's go to Melwood, it should be a mess by now."

"Okay, I'll go get the car ready", Peter hurried out to make arrangements.

Outside Melwood, there was a crowd of people, just like the last time England defeated Wembley, Makqin suddenly wondered if he was in conflict with the new Wembley, why every time he went there to play, it was not a good thing to come back.

It was as if history was repeating itself, but this time the fans were not the extreme clowns, but his supporters, who angrily scolded the club, David Moores, and Dubai International at the door.

Mackqin's car still drove to the old place and stopped, and a warm teenager got out of the car, facing the sun, smiling, as if with a spring breeze all over his body.

The fans on both sides automatically quieted down and made way for him.

The road, which leads to Melwood......
