Most of the main players in the team went to the national team competition, only a few marginalized people remained, and Heynckes also gave everyone a few days off.

Liu Ting has a good relationship with his teammates, he is also an important player, and he has little intersection with people on the margins.

In the morning, Liu Ting went out alone, and inadvertently came to the gate of Anfield Stadium, Bill Shankly Gate, the gate of 'You'll Never Walk Alone' stands forever, next to the gate is the Heathborough Massacre Memorial, on which the names of 96 victims are forever engraved.

Bill Shankly is definitely the greatest manager in the history of the Reds, and he may not have won as many trophies as others, but he has truly led the Reds to a rise.

Before the arrival of Bill Shankly, Liverpool was still struggling in League Two, Shankly led Liverpool to League One, built Liverpool into an iron army, and opened the era of Liverpool's dominance in Europe, Shankly's Liverpool The highest glory in his coaching career was only one UEFA Cup title, but his successor Bob Paisley won three Champions League titles on the basis of Shankly.

Shankly's most famous quote was: "Football is not about life and death, but football is above life and death." ”

Perhaps this sentence is too full, after Shankly's death, Liverpool suffered two major tragedies in succession - the Heysel tragedy and the Heathborough tragedy, and the Red Army that dominated Europe became the current declining giants under the two huge blows.

After pausing in front of Shankly's gate for a while, Liu Ting continued to walk aimlessly, and walked into a bar street not far from the stadium, which was mostly full of bars on Liverpool's match days, and the whole street could hear the sound of cheering for Liverpool and singing that you will never walk alone.

Walking to the door of an old-looking bar, it is the national team break day, and there is no England team game today, but there is a sound inside, Liu Ting looked up at this bar, the old door face, the yellowed exterior wall, it looks a little old.

This old pub is called the Liverpool Fan Pub, a very common name, and there should be dozens of bars in the whole of Liverpool with such names.

Liu Ting pushed the door and walked in, and the speaker turned his head to look at Liu Ting, and everyone was stunned.

Two of the three Liu Ting knew two of them, the two eccentric fans at the airport when they first came to Liverpool, and Liu Ting also signed with them, but did not know their names.

"Hey, hello, I didn't bother you, did I?" Liu Ting greeted first.

"Liu, why did you come here?" The Humpty Dumpty man walked over and shook Liu Ting's hand.

"Uh......" Liu Ting didn't even know their names, and he didn't know what Gao should call them.

Humpty Dumpty saw Liu Ting's embarrassment, and hurriedly introduced: "My name is Hanley Beale, this is Roberson Brown, and this is James Martin, the owner of the bar. ”

Liu Ting knew that the tall and thin man was Roberson Brown, and the other one who looked stronger was James Martin, the owner of this bar.

The tall thin man said, "Okay, Humpty Dumpty Bill, we met Liu at the airport last time, you don't have to be so close as if you haven't seen each other." ”

Bill immediately said, "Damn Brown, tall and thin Brown, I'm just introducing Liu." ”

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Liu Ting interjected: "Uh......, I just came here by accident, I didn't expect you to be here, I'm very happy to see you again." ”

Humpty Dumpty Bill was obviously speechless, and he couldn't stop saying: "Liu, you came so right, this is the most loyal Liverpool fan's favorite pub, and there are so many people here that they can't find a place on match day, and there are still many people who are willing to come in and stand and drink beer and watch the game......"

After he said about the same, Liu Ting asked, "Are you two working here?" ”

It's a weekday, and there's no one in the bar, and the two strange people, one tall and one short, don't know what they're doing here, and they're definitely not waiting for the game.

"Actually, the two of us are also shareholders of the bar, although we are only small shareholders, and the real big boss is this muscular man who doesn't speak."

This is what the tall and thin man Brown said, and the strong man next to him is indeed full of muscles and bulging arms, and there are some weird tattoos, but he keeps his mouth shut and looks like no one is going in.

Humpty Dumpty Bill kept talking, and the tall and thin man on the side didn't add to it, and Liu Ting learned the origin of this bar.

In 1878, the first football club in the city of Liverpool was founded, named after Everton Hill, the highest mountain around Liverpool. In the early days, Everton clubs did not have their own stadium and rented Anfield Stadium, a businessman's stadium, as their home stadium.

By 1892, Everton had grown well enough to build its own home stadium, but John Holding, the owner of Anfield Stadium, disagreed, and took a small group of members to form a new club.

Everton FC have finally built their home stadium, Goodison Park, not far from Anfield.

The newly formed club wanted to name the team Everton Athletic, but the club was strongly opposed by the club, and eventually had to change the name to Liverpool Football Club, and Anfield Stadium became the home of the Liverpool team.

It was at the location of this pub that the Liverpool club was founded, when the start-ups signed contracts and decided on the name of the team.

Liverpool were suppressed by Everton in the early days, with mixed results, and the biggest club in Liverpool City has always been Everton FC.

During World War II, in order to limit the British navy, the German army kept bombing British port cities, and Liverpool was the only port city in the United Kingdom in London.

After the Second World War, the site of the former pub was built into a warehouse to stock the cargo ships that came and went to the port of Liverpool.

Later, the rise of Manchester City caused Liverpool City to begin to decline, and Liverpool FC was strengthened under the leadership of Bill Shankly, overtaking Everton to become the most famous team in the Liverpool region.

The strength of the Liverpool club increased the demand for commercial development around Anfield, and the former warehouse was converted into a pub and other buildings, and the father of the strong man James Martin bought the location of the original Liverpool pub and erected another pub, which is the Liverpool fan bar.

Although it is no longer the pub where the club was founded, the location is still very popular, and the new pub has become a favourite with long-time Liverpool fans.

The good times didn't last long, in the 80s, the British football hooligans were too arrogant, there were bloodshed every weekend match days, the ruling Iron Lady Thatcher was determined to vigorously rectify it, and Liverpool hit the muzzle of the gun two tragedies in a row, so Liverpool was arrested and vigorously suppressed, and the European hegemony has been in a slump since then.

The fan bar is the place where football hooligans gather the most, and the bar at James Martin's house has also been shut down, and it has not been able to operate normally for more than two years, almost on the verge of bankruptcy.

Humpty Dumpty Bill and Brown are also die-hard Liverpool fans, so they paid to help the bar stay afloat and became a minority shareholder of the club.

Now that the elder has died, the bar has passed into the hands of three strange people.

After listening to them, Liu Ting's mobile phone rang, and after answering the phone, Liu Ting was ready to leave.

When Liu Ting left, James Martin, the strong man who had been silent, finally spoke: "Boy, your recent performance is not worthy of your value." ”

Liu Ting replied: "I've adjusted my condition, just wait to see my performance." ”

When Liu Ting walked out, the voice of Humpty Dumpty Bill came from behind: "Hey, Liu, we are telling you so much in the hope that you will understand that we and Everton are irresolvable mortal enemies, and you must kick them in the ass the next time you play." ”

At John Lennon Airport, Liu Ting received a sweetheart from Germany.

"Lena, long time no see." Liu Ting naturally took over the suitcase.

"I'm going to Edinburgh to shoot a commercial this time, and I'll come to Liverpool to see you."

"Have you booked a hotel?"

"Nope."

So Liu Ting skillfully drove Lena Gelk to his house, and Liu Ting, who was not very familiar with him, drove slowly, and the two didn't talk much in the car.

Back at home, Gelk naturally took his clothes and went to take a shower.

Liu Ting doesn't know what kind of relationship he belongs to her, so don't think about it if you can't think about it.

Gelk stayed with Liu Ting for two days before going to Edinburgh, and most of the time he stayed at home to avoid being photographed by reporters.

Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland.

After relaxing for two days, I felt much better in the open air.

Heynckes returned from the national team and had two bad news, with Torres injured and Mascherano injured.

Torres has only just recovered from an injury at the start of the season, scoring two straight league games and another injury in the national team, but fortunately it is not too serious and is expected to be fine in a week or two.

Mascherano's injury is also not too serious and he will probably have to rest for a month.

Then there is another one, central defender Skrtel is also injured, this is not that kind of small injury, Skrtel's injury is not expected to return until January next year, fortunately, Liverpool in the central defender position is quite thick.

Carragher and Aager can now be paired at centre-back, with veterans like Hyypia on the bench.

Heynckes called Liu Ting to the coach's room and said: "Liu, I plan to start with Kuyt and Robbie Keane in the next game, and give Keane another chance, but you are likely to come off the bench, now the team has too many injuries and the schedule is also very tight, and now the team needs your help." ”

"Okay, boss, I'm ready."

Heynckes sighed, Liverpool's two biggest transfers this summer, Liu Ting gradually began to integrate into the team, but Robbie Keane has always been out of step with the whole team, no matter who is wasted, some people will say that he is useless.

He still wants to give Robbie Keane another chance and doesn't want him to be wasted.
