Until the end of the first half, Liverpool did not score again and regained the lead (). In fact, there was not much time left for Liverpool to score.

After they restarted the game, the first half was over quickly.

In the dressing room, everyone noticed that Carragher's mood was not very high.

The goal conceded in the first half was technically a problem for Carragher. It was he who slipped on his feet while defending Hulk, lost his center of gravity first, and was knocked away by Hulk, so Carragher believes that his own mistake caused the team to concede the goal.

Seeing the vice captain blaming himself like this, everyone felt uncomfortable.

In fact, Carragher has performed very well since replacing Agger. The team is on a winning streak and it's good to concede goals. Although Carragher is older and not as good as he used to be in all aspects, relying on his experience, he still helps the team to save the day many times, and his experience seems to be reflected in the command of the backline, and the role is even more obvious.

It can be said that a single mistake cannot erase Carragher's attack on the team.

It's time to find a way to comfort Carragher.

But the vice-captain's performance in the dressing room has always been very strong, and everyone is afraid to comfort him, but it will incur his dissatisfaction.................. After all, this is a slap in the face of the vice captain in front of everyone.

Gerald was not afraid of Carragher's strength, but he was thinking about Carragher's face. He knew that Carragher was a person who cared about face, and if he comforted Carragher in front of everyone, wouldn't he admit that there was something wrong with Carragher's performance? Where does this put Carragher's face?

There is only one person who did not think about it so much ().

Chen Yingying was the last to enter the locker room, although the team was equalized, but he still hugged his mentor Advocaat at the end of the first half, which has nothing to do with the competition between the two teams, purely to express his gratitude to his mentor. Because before the start of the game, Chen Yingying didn't hug Advocaat, so he made up for it now.

So he was the last to go into the locker room.

When he entered the locker room, he keenly felt the weirdness of the atmosphere, but his reaction was fast enough... Without even looking at Carragher, he turned around and snorted loudly outside the door: "That Hulk, dare to call 'Hulk,'" If you don't order one, you will take advantage of people's danger! If it weren't for the fact that the team's deputy had slipped before, how could he have succeeded?! ”

Looking at him like that, it seems that he is talking about it to someone outside.

Suarez is also a clever man.

Seeing that Chen Yingying suddenly turned his head and talked about Hulk and Carragher as soon as he entered the door, he immediately understood what Chen Yingying was going to do.

He immediately picked it up: "Who says it's not?" It's just that little body.................. If the deputy doesn't slip, he'll just wait to hit the wall! ”

Chen Yingying turned his head... Looking at Suarez with a happy face: "Ahhh Heroes see the same thing! In the second half, Brother let them see what the real giants are! ”

Carragher couldn't help but laugh as he listened to the two of them acting like they were acting here.

Of course he knew what these two people were doing, in fact, he also knew everyone's feelings. It's just that I'm used to being strong in the locker room, and it's hard to change that mentality all of a sudden..................

He is no longer a strong central defender, and his voice in the dressing room is slowly eroding ().

Retire!

The thought popped into his head, and as soon as it popped up... It's like he's obsessed... I can't get rid of it, I just want to retire, and I should retire.

The reason is simple, he is a very strong player, his image is the same as his style of play, he has a brave style, and he is aggressive in tackling and intercepting. Therefore, he especially can't tolerate a mistake like this one in this game so often in the games that come after him!

However, he also expressed his gratitude to Chen Yingying and Suarez for their kindness.

He raised his head and waved at Chen Yingying: "Okay, stop acting, you two." I know that's my problem... Whatever the reason, the fact was that I slipped before the opponent got the football. There's nothing that can't be said about that. Even if he doesn't hit me... I'm going to slip myself...... It's normal, I'm getting old......"

He said something helpless, and anyone could hear the unwillingness in his heart.

On the night of Liverpool's miraculous Champions League triumph in Istanbul, it was Carragher's performance that ensured the team could take the game to penalties and beat the Italian giants in a penalty shoot-out.

It is a masterpiece of his incomparably strong spiritual strength and strong heroic style.

In the second half of extra time, AC Milan's Serginho crossed in front of the goal to create a killing chance, Carragher struggled to tackle the ball to destroy the bottom line, and then... His leg cramped and he fell to the ground in pain. A minute later... Carragher dragged his injured leg and cleared the ball again in front of goal, having already defused Shevchenko and Kaka......

From 0:3 to 33 to lifting the Champions Cup, this final is a classic for Carragher and Liverpool. The British media commented after the game: What can make the result of the game beyond the level of strength and technical tactics? The answer can only be psychic power. In Carragher, this power was seen.

Tough guy Carragher once broke his leg at the end of the year by Blackburn's Neil, and everyone thought he was resting for at least eight months, and it only took him four months to get back on the ball. If it weren't for his super willpower, how could he have made such a miraculous comeback?

Such a strong and unyielding player, when he gives orders in the dressing room, always has a tone that you can't question, as if his words are orders, just like holy decrees. Some people hate this attitude and call him a "ball bully", but it is actually a reflection of his personality, the same style of play he has on the pitch.

is such a player who is as hard as granite, and now he also says the words "I'm old", and the helplessness in his tone is really sad.

Gerald could hear a hint of something bad in his tone.

"Jamie ......"

His words were interrupted by Carragher: "Just now, I have already made my decision, I have decided to retire at the end of this season. ”

He said something in a very flat tone that shocked everyone.

※※※

Martin O'Neill was pushing the locker room door and had just pushed a crack open when he heard Carragher's voice.

“………… I decided to retire at the end of this race. ”

He was stunned for a moment, and he didn't take this step.

"You're crazy, Jamie!" This was followed by Gerald's exclamation.

"This .................. What's going on? Chen Yingying was also surprised.

"I'm not crazy, Stephen. I seriously thought about it... I should retire. I'm thirty-six years old, which is a good age to retire, Stephen. Carragher's voice sounded absolutely ().

"Don't think about it, it's just a defensive mistake, right?" Gerald retorted.

"Yes, yes, vice. And it's only a draw, with 45 minutes to go, and we can still overtake them in the second half............... It's not a big deal, you really don't have to take it to heart...... What are you afraid of when you lose a ball? I've had my mistakes... Who in this room hasn't made a mistake? You say, huh?! Chen Yingying looked around the locker room and said to everyone.

Everyone stood up to express their support for Chen Yingxing's views.

"Yes, Team Vice. We've all made mistakes......"

"I've scored own goals before, it's not a big deal..................

"What is an own goal? I almost shoveled my own people! ”

"You're just a little close, I've made a lot of mistakes.................."

"Hi... You're nothing. I used to run with the ball when I was in the youth team... Get through the game and shoot the ball into your own goal! The coach was going crazy on the sidelines! I don't even know what happened to me............"

For a while, the locker room became a self-criticism of self-exposure and self-denial, looking at such a scramble to his teammates to try to blacken himself and persuade himself to retract his retirement decision, although Carragher had a smile on his face, his eyes were full of tears.

He got up from his seat.

Seeing the vice-captain get up, everyone gradually quieted down.

"I thank you, I know what you want...... But it's not just a blunder, it's a signal. Remind me that it's time to retire... I wasn't physically fit enough to sustain a season of high-intensity confrontation, and I was a little overwhelmed. I've played a lot of games in a row during this time... I haven't done that for two seasons. To be honest, I was initially unhappy that my boss put me on the bench.................."

※※※

Hearing this, Martin. O'Neill didn't dare to speak out, he felt that the room should not have found the head coach hiding outside the locker room door.

He wasn't surprised to hear Carragher say that. Although Carragher had never shown it to him, he knew and was sure that Carragher was dissatisfied. From the vice-captain and main player of a team to the substitute sitting on the bench, no one will feel good.

Just listen to Carragher continue.

"But now I know that my body is really not fit for a whole season......"

※※※

"But you only made one mistake. In so many games you've played... You've been doing well and we've not lost......," Gerrard advised.

Carragher nodded: "That's right... Stephen. You're right. But I can't tolerate the frequent occurrence of such missed shots in my future games...... And it's almost inevitable because I'm old. ”

"But you're not old, Jamie!" Gerald raised his voice.

Carragher looked at Gerald, who was a little excited, and suddenly smiled.

"Actually, the heart is getting old, Stephen."
