On the day of the debut ceremony, Qin Xiong enjoyed dinner in the restaurant outside the Anfield stadium.

He was joined for dinner by Tony Barrett, ace reporter for The Echo.

Tony Barrett puts the voice recorder on the table and his interview begins just as dinner is underway.

There will be a lot of Liverpool fans here, and they will take the initiative to come up to greet Qin Xiong, politely ask if they can get Qin Xiong's autograph and take a photo with him.

Qin Xiong always politely agreed to the fans' requests, and after the autograph group photo, the fans would cheer him on enthusiastically and excitedly, hoping that he could achieve good results for Liverpool in the new season.

The restaurant owner stepped forward at the right time after Qin Xiong satisfied the 20th fan and told the other fans not to disturb Qin Xiong's meal.

If it goes on endlessly, it doesn't matter if the restaurant can open or not, after all, this is a free advertisement, and the boss naturally likes to see it, but this will make Qin Xiong jealous of this restaurant, and I am afraid that there will be no next visit.

Tony Barrett has been observing Qin Xiong, and he has seen Qin Xiong's approachability, as well as exuding a soft superstar aura.

Halfway through dinner, Tony Barrett's interview began.

As Liverpool's largest local media and the official team newspaper of Liverpool and Everton, The Echo is not interested in why Qin Xiong left Real Madrid and why he rejected other giants.

It's a foregone conclusion, and what I care more about is Qin Xiong's development after joining Liverpool.

Tony Barrett didn't make the interview very formal, more like a chat between two friends.

"Historically, Liverpool remain the most successful club in England. But in the last 20 years. They have been fighting to get close to Manchester United.

Not in the slightest. There was a lot of ridicule and ridicule among Manchester United fans, while Liverpool fans were bewildered and hateful.

And in the league, team conflicts always intensify when the two strong meet.

Do you understand what it means to join Liverpool? ”

Tony Barrett's question made Qin Xiong feel fresh.

He replied tentatively: "Helping Liverpool win the first league title of the Premier League era? ”

Tony Barrett smiled and said, "You can say that, but it's more like an official manifesto.

Let's start with Rafael Benitez, what kind of manager do you think he is? ”

Qin Xiong thought for a moment and said, "A head coach with his own ideas and a firm position, oh, there is. He's a successful manager. ”

"But Liverpool haven't won any championships for three years."

'But that doesn't take away from Benitez's success in La Liga, in Europe, and in England, and I think it's a bit arbitrary to measure success in terms of trophies.

Tony Barrett looked at Qin Xiong, who was loud, and asked curiously: "So do you think Real Madrid was successful last season?" Have you succeeded on your own? ”

Qin Xiong blurted out: "Of course not, it was the worst season of my career!" You know, I've been a professional for 6 seasons, last season was the worst, I only finished second in the league, and the rest of the seasons I won the league! ”

Qin Xiong, who said these words, was full of confidence.

Because it's a fact.

Won the treble in his first season at Ajax.

The following season was a double with Arsenal.

The third season was a double at Arsenal, but the FA Cup was replaced by the Champions League!

In his fourth season, he won the home double with Real Madrid.

Won the six crowns in Real Madrid in his fifth season!

Sixth Season. No gains, second in the league!

His worst season. Last season, of course, second place in the league was the lowest league finish of his career.

But after saying these words, Qin Xiong felt that he had fallen for it.

Tony Barrett smiled, and then said solemnly: "Liverpool needs the championship, the first important thing is naturally the league championship, suppress Manchester United to win the league title!" The second is the Champions League, but Benitez seems to have reversed that order.

After Manchester United's domination was ended by Arsenal in the new millennium, it took Ferguson four years to crack the English league code and upend Arsenal's rule, and in a similar period, Rafael Benitez has won the FA Cup and led his side to two Champions League finals, winning the European Cup on the first occasion.

Benitez may believe that his record should isolate him from all the criticism. If he thinks so, it can only be said that he has ignored the thoughts of the masses. They are willing to trade European glory for domestic league victories in order to overtake Manchester United.

Liverpool's problem, that's it.

Just as Alex Ferguson vowed to 'take Liverpool down', the Liverpudlians will have to be equally determined to regain the ground lost to Manchester United.

Nearly two decades of disappointment have added even more trauma to Liverpool fans.

During that time, the club's fans suffered from a stress disorder-like symptom: frustration, denial, renewed confidence, anger, disappointment and distress.

It's as if they live in the shadow of Manchester United, and all they breathe is the breath of Manchester United, damn Manchester United!

The Yoel effect also happened to Benitez.

Former Tottenham manager Martin Joel has been criticised for his lack of winning results in the battle against the traditional semi-finals.

Liverpool fans don't really care much about their team's record with Arsenal and Chelsea, they really care about the result against their arch-rivals Manchester United.

Benitez can't meet the demands of the fans, then the guillotine is ready for him.

Since 1993, every Manchester United captain has lifted a trophy that has been a torture for Liverpool fans.

Every goal scored on TV and every celebration in the past is a disgrace to Liverpool fans, even disgusting inside, and at the same time, they are increasingly disappointed with Liverpool.

Alex Ferguson has said Newcastle are the toughest club to manage.

The impatience of the Northeast fans and the smell of battle in a locker room do give that impression.

However, if Anfield's hunger for glory drowns out their usual hearts, Liverpool will soon be a match for Newcastle.

Qin Xiong, do you really understand the significance of your joining Liverpool?

As the club's most expensive and biggest sign-in, are you up to the task?

Do you know what you're really going to fight for?

What do Liverpool fans need?

Do you understand? ”
