When Steven Gerrard and Ronschette lifted the UEFA Super Cup trophy aloft, Liverpool's two leaders once again received unanimous praise from commentators.

Ronshette is still the absolute core of the team, but he used this way to make the returning veteran captain Gerrard feel welcomed by the new boss in the team.

Even the Spanish commentators praised it again and again:

"We all thought that with the arrogance and unbeatability of Long Shute, it would be difficult for Gerrard, who has always been low-key and calm, to coexist with him, but we were all wrong, Long Shute's emotional intelligence at this moment is really embarrassing for many European and American players!"

Nonsense, Gerald...... It was shouted by Long Shute himself, of course they can coexist!

-

After winning his second title of the new season, Brendan Rodgers gave the team a day off.

Gerard, who had just moved back to his hometown, took the opportunity to complete the task of transferring to several of his daughters.

Then he received a phone invitation from Longshut:

"Steven, I want to talk to you individually, about the development of the club, but also about your personal situation, and I hope you don't say no."

The old captain of Liverpool, who was about to rest, was a little tired, but he was still invited to drive to the Long family's mansion.

-

Giving Gerrard the door was Ronshit's personal assistant and media manager, Krom Liu.

Then he saw a snow-white Labrador retriever chasing a soccer ball in the living room.

“Hi，Steven！”

Emma Watson, the hostess who was reading a book on the couch, greeted him:

"He's waiting for you on the second floor."

Gerald nodded, and was about to climb the stairs, but he couldn't help but turn his head:

"By the way, can you sign the names of my three daughters? They're all your fans! ”

Emma also laughed:

"Of course, I also prepared a little gift for them, and I hope they will like it."

-

In the private living room on the second floor, Gerald met Long Shute in a cool summer dress.

"I didn't bother you, did I, Steven?"

Long Shute motioned for the old captain to sit down on the sofa.

Gerald shook his head slightly, but made a joke:

"Should I call you boss or captain?"

"Haha, I don't know, you're still a joke teller."

Long Shute patted his thigh and pointed to the tea set on the coffee table with a smile:

"Because the conversation is very long, I invite you to taste tea, although it may not be the most authentic Chinese tea art, but it is certainly something you haven't tried."

Gerald frowned and glanced at the tea set, which occupied almost half of the table, and could only nod:

"Uh...... Thank you. ”

-

"First of all, I want to thank you for accepting my invitation to come back to Liverpool."

"Maybe I should thank you more, and I know that if it was the former American boss, he would never give me this level of salary."

"Liverpool are no longer the financially strapped giants they used to be, and we have the confidence to compete with any club in the Premier League on salaries. But...... Again, I have to tell you that I'm not going to rely on the pound to get a bunch of big players, like Real Madrid did. ”

"What do you mean......"

"If my team is all top stars, then I would feel like it's going to be no challenge to lead a team like this to win a championship, I wonder if you can understand my thoughts?"

"Uh...... It's hard to accept, but considering you've moved to AC Milan from Bayern Munich at the top, I think ...... I can still understand it......"

'Well, for that reason, we don't inject a lot of money into the operation of the club, we don't make a fuss in the transfer market, you might even think that our transfer policy is not much different from the last few years, and at the same time, we will also borrow from Arsenal and some small and medium-sized clubs to make a difference by developing semi-finished players.

“…… Regardless of the transfer of the club, I will personally support you. ”

"Selling people too often is not really the temperament of a big club, but in the current situation, this is probably the only way to meet the needs of the club, the development of the players and my personal philosophy at the same time. But rest assured, our results will not be affected substantially, and we should have no problem winning at least two titles every season. ”

“……”

"What, you don't believe me?"

“…… I don't know how to express myself, it's the first time I've heard someone say at least two championships as a goal for the season......"

"You'll get used to it later, Steven. Okay, let's talk about your personal development. ”

'I noticed that in my new contract, the club wants me to be part of the first-team coaching staff?'

"Yes, we want you to be involved in the management of the team as a trainee coach, and of course, if you don't plan to become a coach after retiring, this clause can be removed."

"I can only say thank you again, Dragon, for thinking so much about my future."

'Every Liverpool fan imagines their former captain becoming a first-team manager and we all want you to be another Kenny Dalglish and do better than him.

"Thank you, I will cherish this time. Become Liverpool's manager...... It was definitely a dream of my playing days and I will get my coaching certificate as soon as possible. ”

"Take it easy, as long as I haven't retired, I can guarantee that you will become a world famous coach in two years, hahaha."

"Haha, I believe in your abilities, and I'm looking forward to that day. It was a pleasure to talk to you, but it's not too early for me to take my leave......"

"Don't worry, it's only been two hours, let's talk about it again, you probably don't know, Barcelona sent another offer to Coutinho at noon today, although it is claimed to be 140 million euros, but they not only want to pay in installments, of which 30 million bonuses actually require Coutinho to enter the top three of the Ballon d'Or or the World Footballer of the Year, is this a bit too bullying?"

"Huh? Felipe is a first-class player, but in the current state of football, it is too difficult for him to get into the top three......

"yes, so I turned down Barca's offer for the second time, but ...... The Catalans don't seem to be giving up, and they will definitely make a third offer. ”

"Do you need me to persuade him?"

“…… No, you don't. I know you've tried to persuade Suarez, and you've tried to persuade a lot of people, but this time, I don't need you to dissuade you. If Felipe really wanted to leave, not only would I not force him to stay, but I would be happy to see him off. ”

"Hey......"

"You don't need to sigh, Steven, I've found a replacement for Coutinho."

"Can you tell me?"

'Mohamed Salah, I was team-mate with him for half a season when I was at Milan, so I know him well. His sense of football is undoubtedly top-notch, and his blistering speed makes him a better suiter than Felipe as a wide attacker. On top of that, his national team is Egypt, which is basically out of the possibility of participating in the World Cup, which will also ensure that he can play for the club wholeheartedly......"

"Well, you've got a point. Oh, it's half past five in the afternoon and it's time for me to go home and cook for the kids. ”

"What's the hurry, sit down for a while, I'll invite your whole family to dinner in the evening, by the way, don't you have any requirements to tell me?"

“…… I have a very unrealistic expectation. ”

"Oh?"

"I think if my body allows, I want to be able to start as much as I can...... I'm not old enough to play 10 minutes a game. ”

"I promise you, Steven, but only if your status is guaranteed and ...... You have to accept rotations. ”

"Of course, I'm not a young man anymore. Thanks, can I go now? ”

"Let's sit down for another ten minutes, let's have a vs. game together, shall we? Or...... Take a look at my top five goals of the new season! ”

“…… We've only played two games in the new season, right? ”

"yes, I've only scored six goals, so let's analyze how we can improve the number of goals."

“…… Thank you for having me, Dragon, but it's really been a long time since we talked today, shall we talk next time? ”

"One minute left, ok?"

“…… Dragon, what exactly do you want to do? ”

"Would you believe it if I told you that it was meant to make us know each other better and avoid misunderstandings in the days to come?"

"I'm so touched by your arrangement, really."

"I don't need you to be so moved, Steven, I'll send you out."

"Thank you."

"Goodbye, Steven, see you tomorrow at the training ground."

"Goodbye, Dragon, thank you again, and Emma, thank you for the gift."

Gerald took the autograph and small gift from the hostess, and walked out of the Long family's mansion.

There seemed to be a flash of white light in front of his eyes, but it was only an instant and there was no trace.

Don't...... Is it really old and dizzy?

He shook his head self-deprecatingly and slipped into his car.

Steven Gerald, start over!
