659, the most familiar captain

After a 5-1 defeat to Bordeaux, there is one final game in November.

On November 28, FIFA announced the final list of three people selected for the 2015 FIFA Ballon d'Or.

There is no surprise that Messi, Ronaldo, and Neymar are lined up on the list in turn.

But even Ronaldo and Neymar themselves know that they are just foils for others.

In 2015, Messi led Barcelona back to the top, winning four titles in La Liga, Copa del Rey, Champions League, and UEFA Super Cup, and was elected UEFA's best player over Cristiano Ronaldo and Suarez.

On top of that, he also finished runners-up in the Copa America with the national team – of course, for Argentina, the Copa America runner-up can't even be called a result......

Relatively speaking, Ronaldo only won the personal honor of La Liga Golden Boot, and there is no way to compete with Messi, and it is even rumored that the Portuguese has begun to decline, and he does not care about the overall interests of the club in order to brush up on the data......

As for Neymar, his time has not yet come.

On November 29, after more than 20 days, Lonshette finally appeared in Liverpool's starting squad again.

"It's a match in the 15th round of the Premier League 15/16 season, with Reds Liverpool at home to Swan Häswansea."

Zhan Tianjun's voice sounded as scheduled:

'Liverpool's recent performances have been up and down due to injuries and international fixtures, with them being able to thrash Europa League opponents Ruby Kazan 15-0 or a surprise defeat to Premier League underdogs like Crystal Palace, but with Lonshit back in the starting line-up, the KOPs should be able to relax a bit, and of course, Swansea fans may not want to see Lonshitzt......

The camera slowly skimmed over the stands, and he saw a familiar face:

"Liverpool's legendary captain Steven Gerrard was also in the stands today, and Gerrard, who has moved to Major League Soccer, ended his first (and actually half) major league season with a disappointing result, and he will start winter training with Liverpool next month to maintain his fitness, and many Reds fans are still looking forward to him being able to put on the red shirt again and play a game or two for his old club like Thierry Henry did before......

Zhang Lu suddenly interjected:

"But...... Does he have to change his number? ”

Zhan Tianjun was stunned for a moment, and then snorted:

"Hey......

Zhang Lu glanced at him, he was young, why did he learn my laughter?

-

According to Longschet's selfish speculation, these Liverpool players may not have much respect for the legend of Steven Gerrard, otherwise the Reds would never have suffered a humiliating 1-6 defeat to Stoke City in his final game for Liverpool, allowing their legendary captain to bid farewell to the club in such an undignified way.

Maybe Henderson, Joe Allen, Abby, Flanagan and the old players or the local academy will be different, but they are either on the bench or in the hospital bed......

Therefore, even if Gerrard watched the game from the stands, it did not have much of an incentive effect on the players on the field.

What's more, head coach Rodgers is also reluctant to kill his old club Swansea.

When Ronshette added a hat-trick and an assist in the 56th minute to make it 6-0, Rodgers brought him on to prevent the scorer from continuing to wreak havoc.

However, Lonshette did not express his dissatisfaction with the manager's substitution, let alone criticize his lack of professionalism.

After all...... Everyone is human, even Lonshit, when he played for AC Milan, he used the yellow card rule to avoid direct confrontation with Ajax.

And Brendan Rodgers replaced him with Jordan Henderson, who had just returned from injury, to give the hard-working captain a little more time to find his feelings.

What's more, Liverpool have won the game with three points firmly in hand, and they don't need to worry about 6-0 or 10-0.

The players who received the manager's hints suddenly became despaired, and Swansea took the opportunity to score twice in five minutes, and Mignolet's hopes of a clean sheet were instantly dashed......

December 1.

Outside the Melwood training base, there are usually dozens of fans waiting there.

As Liverpool's record has gone from strength to strength, so have more fans flocking here, and even the number of paparazzi and journalists has doubled......

Fans are there to take photos with their idols and get autographs, and journalists are looking to dig up clues from their daily training sessions that will give them free rein, but the principle is very simple in most English media anyway:

A picture at the beginning, and the news depends on the editor......

But on this day, they were pleasantly surprised to find a familiar Porsche-Cayenne slowly driving into the gate of the training base.

-

"emmm, ahem......"

Rodgers gathered all the team members together as usual, and then cleared his throat:

"Starting today, you're going to have a new teammate, so I hope you don't get too surprised later."

He raised his arm and looked at his watch:

"Why hasn't this guy arrived yet? Dare to play a big name in front of me, aren't you worried that I will purge him out again? ”

Several assistant coaches laughed.

Before the players could react, a slightly hoarse voice was heard from behind.

"Sorry, sorry, dozens of fans stopped my car ......"

Steven Gerald, the red warrior who has had deep forehead lines since he was a child.

It was no surprise to meet the veteran captain here, and let's not forget that he is the club's largest shareholder.

"You're 3 minutes late, Steven, you haven't forgotten the old rules, have you?"

Rogers smiled and hugged him - although there may have been some minor problems between them, none of them matter now.

Gerald frowned and nodded:

"I know, I'll do one more lap."

Jordan Henderson, the first captain who has returned from injury, gave his guide a warm hug:

"Welcome home, Captain."

Looking at the successor who he brought up, Gerald also smiled:

"Haha, Jordan, I'm so happy to see you......"

His gaze finally fell on Long Shute.

The two No.8s, one old and one young, glanced at Melwood, but neither spoke.

-

In today's society, no one is truly selfless.

Gerald has also gone through a process of changing from being slightly unhappy - gradually accepting - convinced - pinning hopes on his number successor.

But let him pat Long Shute on the shoulder, and then say, "Brother, come on, the champion of my village depends on you...... It's really a bit of a shame.

But it doesn't matter.

After the group lap, Rogers directly assigned Ronshette to Gerald - or rather, it was Ronshette who asked Rogers to do so.

-

The general warm-up activities are in groups of two people, which can assist each other in training, and can also produce a little competition and competition.

Gerrard certainly has no objection to teaming up with the team's number one superstar, after all, it's also a status symbol, and if you want to put him in an Under-18 player, he must feel that Rodgers is perfunctory......

But he didn't expect the first conversation between Long Shute and himself to come so suddenly.

I saw his successor pressing the lunge and saying to him:

"Steven, think about it, coming back from the winter break? We can go and fight for the league title together. ”

Gerald was visibly stunned.

League champions?
