The game has reached this point, and the dust has basically settled. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Arsenal leads by two goals, the fighting spirit is strong, and the whole team is united, while on the other side, Liverpool has suffered heavy losses one after another, no matter how strong their will is, no matter how strong their nerves are, there is only the pathos of "having the intention to kill the thief, and not being able to return to the sky".

However, the Red Army is the Red Army, even if they know that the general trend has gone, they will hold out until the last second, and even if they are defeated, they will be defeated gloriously and heroically.

With Gerrard's encouragement and leadership, Liverpool are still reinvigorated and continue to run and scramble on the pitch. No matter how small the hope is, they must continue to hold on until the whistle blows at the end of the game. It's just that their performance on the field is no longer the kind of resolute and desperate as before, but more like a little more tragic.

In this tragic situation similar to "generous death", Liverpool burst into bright light again in the final period, and in the 82nd minute, their persistence allowed them to score again, Gerrard fought bravely in the penalty area, and his head wrapped in gauze slammed into Mertesacker, the wound cracked, and blood seeped out of the gauze, almost dyeing the gauze red.

His efforts were not in vain, as Suarez received his ferry and fired a shot from inside the box that slotted the ball into the goal of Cech.

Steven Gerrard's feat of fighting for Anfield to the end, shedding the last drop of blood on the stadium, gave the fans a standing ovation, and some people cried and waved him to stop the game and begged him to rest.

Anfield is no longer a devil's stadium like a furnace, but also adds a lot of tragedy and sorrow. Even the Arsenal players, who are opponents, are in awe of the Red Army's soul.

But this goal did not change the big picture, before Suarez scored Liverpool's second goal, Arsenal Sanchez rewrote the score to 4:1, and now the score has become 4:2, which only adds a touch of comfort to Liverpool.

Gerrard didn't make it to the end of the game, and after being treated by medical staff again, he never played again, with Raheem Sterling coming on as a substitute.

Gerrard was still silent, he sat on the sidelines, quietly looking at the field, at all the fans in the stands on all sides, at the stadium that he had held on to for nearly two decades and loved to the core.

Under his calm gaze, the game finally came to an end, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and the score was finally fixed at 2:4, the home team in front, the away team in the back, Liverpool lost this game to close the gap with the top of the league table, and also lost the hope of competing for the league title this season - although there are nearly ten rounds of the league left, everything is still undecided, but the difference of eight points is enough to make them feel hopeless.

As soon as the whistle sounded, the Liverpool players collapsed to the ground as if they had lost all their strength, and even some young players cried quietly, and some people were unwillingly beating the turf with their hands.

The Anfield stadium was not as silent as it had been when the ball was conceded, and there was no boos and curses, and the KOPs stood up without saying a word, just a strong applause.

The game was lost, but Liverpool's backbone was still there, the young players were good enough and they did their best. The fans can only use applause to express their feelings at the moment, and express their comfort and care in the most direct way.

They are disappointed, but they do not despair. As long as the spirit and will of the Red Army remain, they firmly believe that one day they will be able to return to the top.

The winning Arsenal players also seemed to feel the sad and tragic atmosphere at Anfield, and instead of celebrating, they just hugged each other and high-fived each other, before thanking the Gunners fans who had followed the team to the away stadium.

Gerrard stood up from the ground, his expression indifferent, and slowly walked onto the court.

Qin Shou saw Gerald walking towards him, and he also raised his foot to greet him.

He originally wanted to say something, but looking at the other party's calm expression, as well as the loss and exhaustion in his eyes, he didn't open his mouth after all.

"Congratulations, Qin, you have performed well and deserve this victory."

Gerald looked at the young face in front of him and said this, then opened his arms to give him a hug and whispered in his ear, "This is your time, Qin." ”

Qin Shou moved his lips and wanted to say something, but Gerald let go of his hand, patted him on the shoulder, and turned to leave.

Gerrard walked up to his teammates and comforted these young players, just looking at his back, Qin Shou felt so lonely and tragic.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Arsenal left Liverpool the following day and Arsene Wenger gave his side a night's rest there.

That night, Qin Shou took a leave of absence from the head coach and went out of the hotel. Gerald called and invited him to get together.

I had told Gerrard before that whoever won would have a treat, although it was just a joke, but after the game, the other party was not very interested and lonely, so as soon as this call came, Qin Shou didn't think about it, and immediately agreed.

It's not a joke about the Hilton Hotel, Gerald is looking for a small restaurant, when Qin Shou arrived, Gerald had already poured himself a drink, and on the table in front of him, there were already two empty wine bottles.

Gerald didn't call anyone else, he sat alone in the corner, the light shining on his face, but only as calm as water.

Qin Shou sat down, and the first thing Gerard said after seeing him was: "You kid, you're really ruthless!" ”

Although it was a joke, the tone was an indescribable "complaint".

Qin Shou could only laugh dumbly when he thought about it, really, in the two games with Liverpool this season, he scored a total of eight goals, speaking of which, he couldn't be more ruthless, and he was completely brushing the data on this old giant.

Qin Shou shook his head, opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but Gerald waved his hand again and pointed to the wine bottle on the table: "Don't talk about the rest, I'm a frustrated person today, accompany me for a few drinks." ”

Qin Shou actually rarely drinks alcohol, but he didn't refuse at the moment, he found a cup and poured it, and then took a small sip.

Gerard didn't care, he drank to himself, and the two of them didn't speak, one drank a full glass of pain, and the other took a slight sip of wine, and the atmosphere was very silent.

However, this silence did not last long, and Gerald, who was slowly getting high, began to talk more.

"I've been playing for the first team since '98, and it's been almost 17 years now......

"When I was in high spirits, all I wanted was to win the league championship with the team...... But when I got to it, I realized that this wish became more and more difficult......"

"I thought we had a lot of hope this season, but now it's ......"

"Qin, sometimes I really hate you, it would be nice if you didn't return to the Premier League in the summer, otherwise, you won't be able to play in this game...... But ......"

"Well, but I can't really blame you, you just did your duty as a professional footballer...... Besides, if you don't play, what's the point of winning even if we win. ”

"Qin, I'm serious, this era no longer belongs to an old man like me, this is your era, the era of you young people......"

“……”

Gerald began to chatter, maybe it was drunken talk, maybe it was the "resentment" in his heart, Qin Shou just quietly sipped wine, quietly acting as a listener.

It's just that with Gerrard's story, Qin Shou also felt a little uncomfortable, being able to dedicate his youth to a team, there is no doubt that Gerrard is admirable, but it is precisely because of this that it makes people feel even more ...... Sympathize. All he was looking for was a league trophy, but he never got it. If he had voted for another team, perhaps that wish would have been fulfilled.

It's just that if you win the league championship in other teams, I'm afraid you have lost all meaning. For Steven Gerrard, only to bring Liverpool back to the top of the league is his deepest wish.

"Alas!"

Qin Shou sighed deeply.

On this night, Qin Shou was always by Gerald's side, and when the Red Army Spirit finally fell asleep, he sent Gerald to the hotel, and after settling down, he returned to his room.

The next day, Qin Shou returned to London with the team and continued his journey.
