PS2: Let's talk about the book friend group here, the group number is three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, nine, verifies that the answer is NTR knight, well, that's it.

PS3: Here, I would like to thank the book friends "Dawang Yu Yu Yuyu", "Mythical Legend", "Chaser Dao Layman" and "¢ Hesitation" for their tips.

Although they are very unwilling to say goodbye to the Champions Cup, the wood is already in the boat, and the Liverpool players must accept this cruel result for them even if they are unwilling in their hearts.

At this time, Gerrard took on the responsibility of captaining the team well. The England midfielder, who scored a goal in the game and almost blew the horn of Liverpool's counter-attack, was busy comforting his team-mates so that they could get out of the shadow of defeat as soon as possible. After all, Liverpool, who are currently fifth in the league, still need to fight for a Champions League qualification for next season, so there is really no extra effort and time to worry about a game that has already ended.

In addition, Gerrard did not forget to shake hands with Nesta and Pirlo and other Fiorentina players who came to show goodwill, and while congratulating them, he exchanged a few polite words and left contact information, which was a little friendship. After all, everyone is in the same circle, and there may be a chance to play in the same team one day, so it is quite necessary to have a good relationship with each other.

"The guy Gerrard is really good, at least in terms of captaining the team, he's more competent than Owen before him." Seeing Gerrard's every move on the pitch, Mourinho said to Ferrara beside him in a rather admiring tone, "To be honest, if we didn't already have Andre (Pirlo) and Michael (Ballack) in midfield, I would definitely suggest the owner dig Liverpool's corner this summer." (Note: Because Hyypia was poached early by Zhuang Mingge, Owen wore Liverpool's captain's armband after the '02 World Cup.) )

"José (Mourinho), I think it's not easy to implement your idea." Ferrara glanced at Gerrard, and was very bored and talked to Mourinho about this topic, "If nothing else, Gerrard is now the banner man of Liverpool, and he is very promising to become a Baresi-like figure." I don't think the Liverpool hierarchy can sell him to another team, right? ”

"Hehe, Chiro (Ferrara), don't be so sure. I never felt like a loyal servant like Baresi who had always been in a team from the start. Finding that Ferrara and his own opinions did not coincide, Mourinho immediately retorted, "Although it is worthy of our respect to be such a loyal servant, it has to be said that the emergence of examples like Baresi and Maldini is the result of a combination of factors." I don't believe there are many top players who would want to live in a team that never has any hope of winning the championship. Believe it or not, if we were to make a $50 million transfer offer for Steven Gerrard now, Liverpool would never put any obstacles in the way of the deal? ”

Mourinho is telling the truth. The reason why Gerrard chose to stick to Liverpool in his previous life was that the Champions Cup title in 05 played a considerable role. Without this trophy, Gerrard, who has already entered the ranks of superstars, would not have been able to refuse Chelsea's temptation to waste all his peak years on Liverpool's leaky ship.

In this way, taking advantage of the free time just after the game, Mourinho and Ferrara argued about the unexpected topic as they walked towards the players' tunnel, as if they were really discussing whether they could poach Gerrard from Liverpool.

Although Jose Mourinho and Ferrara were only hypothetizing the possibility of bringing Steven Gerrard from Liverpool to Fiorentina, their conversation really scared the Liverpool players on the sidelines – they didn't want to lose another captain and dressing room leader after losing Owen.

After all, Liverpool is not Arsenal. The Reds don't have the blood-forming ability of the Gunners, and they can still finish in the top four of the league and earn a Champions Cup spot while selling one captain a year. And, as one of the most successful clubs in English football, Liverpool's sense of pride makes it impossible for them to do the same thing as Arsenal.

You know, there has never been a top team that has ever relied on selling the main force or even the absolute core of the team to survive. As long as they dare to do so, then there will be no player who will see this team as a giant for a long time to come. The most typical example is Arsenal after the construction of the Emirates Stadium.

So, after bidding farewell to the Champions Cup, Liverpool, who got the news, immediately began to negotiate a contract extension with Gerrard, attacking the captain of the team emotionally, and at the same time offering a contract with an annual salary of five million pounds!

At the same time, looking at the Liverpool players who left the field gloomily, Zhuang Mingge's expression was quite complicated. After all, in the original history, Benitez led the Liverpool team all the way through the unfavored situation, and finally staged a miracle night in Istanbul and successfully lifted the Big Ears Cup. Now, thanks to Fiorentina, Liverpool, Rafael Benitez and Steven Gerrard are destined to miss out on their chance to make a name for themselves in international football.

Hawkers, anyway, it is not only Liverpool who has been robbed of glory and halo by themselves and Fiorentina, if this is the case, then Juventus and AC Milan are several domestic clubs. Thinking about it like this, Zhuang Mingge's heart was also relieved. After all, the reason why he felt sorry and sorry for Liverpool just now was more out of nostalgia for that Istanbul night in his previous life, not that he really wanted to compensate the Reds.

After beating Liverpool and successfully advancing to the semi-finals of the Champions League, Fiorentina finally halted their winning streak in the 32nd round of Serie A at the weekend. At the Spinelli Stadium, the away Purple Lilies drew 1-1 with Livorno after 90 minutes of fierce battle, earning only one point from the promoted team. On the other side, Juventus beat Lecce in a goal shootout to win all three points at home!

In this way, with a draw, Fiorentina's originally good league title situation became delicate again.
