Chapter 2: Witnessing the Glory
"Hey~ Let's take a look, how did this fan come up, you must know that this is our Liverpool plane, I really don't know what the security guards at this airport are eating, how can I casually let fans get into the plane!"
When George and the others just stepped on the plane, the team's first team, Jamie Carragher, who was also from Liverpool's youth training camp, joked, which suddenly made George and the others stand in place with an embarrassed face, not knowing what to say.
Don't look at George, who is currently the main member of Liverpool's youth team, any one of them is an indispensable person in the team, but in front of Carragher, these first-team players, George and others are just a group of children, and George and others are also very respectful at this time, after all, many people in the first team are the idols and heroes of George and others.
"Hey~ Jamie, I really don't know what's going on with your eyes, damn it, haven't you seen it clearly, the person who came is our little prince of Liverpool, a talented member of our Liverpool youth team!"
As the captain of the team, Jamie Redknapp naturally stood up and reprimanded Carragher loudly, but after looking at the dress of George and others, even the captain Redknapp shook his head helplessly and said: "But you can't blame Jamie, George, you guys do look like fans." ”
Waiting for the captain Redknapp's words, there was a good-natured laughter in the plane, you must know that at present, George and others are all wearing Liverpool jerseys, wearing Liverpool's commemorative hats, and scarves printed with the team emblem, at a glance, they are no different from ordinary Liverpool fans.
"Okay, okay, you guys are real, don't you have any gentlemanly demeanor, hurry back to your seat, the plane is about to take off!"
In the end, it was the team's head coach Holier who stepped up and cleared the siege for George and others. Houllier's words are still very majestic in the team, especially this year, under the leadership of Houllier, the team has completed the treble, and is now heading towards the quadruple crown, and all the players in the first team respect Houllier as a manager.
Hearing Houllier's words, the team members burst into laughter and returned to their positions.
"Hey~ I said you little guys, don't you find a seat quickly, do you want to stand like this and go to the Millennium Stadium, you must know that I asked you to go with us, but I expect you to be able to cheer for us, if you stand like this and go to the Millennium Stadium, I'm afraid that you will all be listless at that time, how can you cheer us on!"
Hollier couldn't help but joke as he watched the players sit in their seats, turned his head to look at George and the others who were still standing in place stupidly.
After hearing Houllier's words, George and the others reacted, and in the good-natured laughter of the team members, they smiled embarrassedly and went to find their seats.
George is naturally next to Owen, because he and Owen are both from the Liverpool junior team until the youth team has been coming out, the two are still in the same position, and the relationship between them is very harmonious, in the long flight, George naturally needs to find a familiar and good relationship with someone to chat and pass the time.
George and Owen chatted unconsciously, and the plane arrived at Cardiff, and George and Wales naturally followed the team to Liverpool's hotel in Cardiff.
You must know that George and others came to Cardiff this time, and the whole process was arranged by the Liverpool club, in short, except that they didn't need to play like first-team players, George and others were very free.
Having just arrived in Cardiff, Houllier immediately ordered that no one of the team should be allowed to contact the media, and that all of them should stay in the hotel to rest. Of course, these are not included for the members of George's youth team.
When George and the others put their salutes in their own rooms in the hotel, they walked out of the hotel with Wales and others and began to browse the scenery of Cardiff.
The next day, under the leadership of Houllier, the Liverpool players first adapted to the environment and situation of the Millennium Stadium, and then began to rest the whole team to conserve their strength.
As time goes by, the game will start to officially start, and at this moment, George and others did not follow the first team to the Millennium Stadium, but just like an ordinary person, holding the tickets issued by the club to George and others, and rushing towards the Millennium Stadium like fans.
At this moment, George and the others have completely become fans, dressed as crazy die-hard fans, and suddenly merged into the red iron flow flowing to the Millennium Stadium.
The game has not yet started, the first to meet are the players of the two teams, the two sides can be said to be absolute rivals in England, although George and others are players of the youth team, but at the moment they are fans, naturally there is no good face for Manchester United fans, following the Liverpool fans, loudly scolding Manchester United fans.
In the minds of Liverpool fans, it is Manchester United who has stolen Liverpool's supremacy in English football, and like Liverpool, Manchester United is also a red jersey, which makes Liverpool fans how can they tolerate it, for Manchester United's red fans, some radical Liverpool even think that Manchester United people insult the noble red.
As a fan of Manchester United, I think that even if Liverpool is the hegemon, it is only the former hegemon, the current Manchester United is the most powerful team in the whole of England, it is the real England hegemon, the noble red, only the Manchester United team is qualified to have, as for Liverpool and their own team wearing the same color jersey, it is simply an insult.
Fortunately, Wales also knew how crazy the fans in England were, and also knew the grievances between the two teams over the years, and knew that the game between the two teams would not be so simple, and the Cardiff city government called in nearly 200 police officers and separated the fans from both sides with neutral fans.
This also makes Liverpool and Manchester United fans, except for scolding and singing their own team songs, there is no excesses. Otherwise, with the hatred of the fans of the two teams towards each other, I am afraid it is really possible to do it before the game even starts.
The game finally started in such a warm atmosphere, the two pairs of teams are old enemies in the Premier League, the other side knows how much strength they have, and there is no need for any temptation, from the beginning of the game, the two sides began to compete and scramble fiercely.
Manchester United got the right to serve, but it is clear that today's God takes good care of the Liverpool team, or maybe it is to see Liverpool, the former hegemon, who has been pressed by Manchester United for so many years It is very unpleasant, in short, no matter what the reason, in the first minute of the game, Manchester United captain Keane put Murphy in the penalty area, and the referee did not hesitate to show a penalty.
For the referee's penalty this time, Keane also hurriedly rushed to the referee's side to explain, but unfortunately the referee will not change his penalty at all because of Keane's plea and explanation, and pointed to the penalty spot with his right hand.
Seeing the referee's resolute look, Keane also knew that this time he might not be able to get the referee to change the penalty this time, so he could only walk to the side, comfort his teammates, and wait for the Liverpool players to take penalties.
Standing on the penalty spot, Liverpool's veteran McAllister took the penalty, and in the boos of Manchester United fans, in the silence and prayer of Liverpool fans, he calmly shot the ball into the right side of the Frenchman Barthez, and in the frantic shouts of Liverpool fans, Liverpool led Manchester United 1:0.
When the game reached the 16th minute of the first half, Manchester United made a fatal mistake again, Liverpool made a long pass at the back, Manchester United Dutch defender Stam accidentally fell, Owen showed the advantage of speed at this moment, like an arrow at high speed into the penalty area, after shaking Gary Neville, without any hesitation to shoot, the score became 2:0.
The score remained so until the end of the first half, with neither side getting any better shots, and although United launched a fierce counter-attack in the ensuing game, Liverpool's defenders Hyypia and Hendjoz combined to fail to score, and Liverpool temporarily led Manchester United 2-0 to end the first half.
With the short half-time break over, the second half began, and Liverpool may have wanted to defend with all their might, or for other reasons, but in short, there was little hope of attacking, and it was rare to see Liverpool attacking as sharply as in the first half.
Perhaps it is for this reason that Manchester United is relieved to invest more troops in the attack, and finally let Manchester United seize the opportunity in the 51st minute, because Ruud van Nistelrooy shook his Dutch countryman, Liverpool's goalkeeper Westerved, the ball into the empty goal from a small angle on the right side of the penalty area, and the score became 2:1.
In the next game, Liverpool also knew that their current style of play was not good, and began to play defensive counterattacks, but Manchester United did not dare to invest more people to attack because they were afraid of Liverpool's counterattack.
In the following time, neither side got a better chance to shoot on goal, and finally the referee blew the whistle, and Liverpool won this year's Charity Shield with a score of 2:1 against Manchester United.
The Liverpool team at the Millennium Stadium suddenly went crazy, you must know that Liverpool has been suppressed by Manchester United very badly over the years, and now in the final of the Charity Shield, they defeated Manchester United and won the championship, how can Liverpool's teams not be happy, and more importantly, the Liverpool team has completed the feat of killing Manchester United three times in all the games this year, plus this Charity Shield.
How can this make Liverpool fans not excited and unhappy, you must know that Manchester United is indeed very arrogant in the Premier League during this time, and this time Liverpool can achieve the end of three kills of Manchester United, especially the three kills of Manchester United, which has robbed his team of supremacy in England.
At the ensuing award ceremony, George was already absent-minded, and at this moment George's mind flew into the field, especially watching his good friend Owen score in the game, George was wondering if he could score in front of the mighty Manchester United if it was him.
"I'm not worse than Michael, even stronger, I believe in my quality, I will definitely let Manchester United know how good I am in the future, I will definitely stand on the highest stage in the world, put on my own performance, in the vast stage of football, there will be my George's stage."
George looked at the Liverpool team who were celebrating wildly in the stadium, his hands couldn't help but clench, and his eyes showed a determined look.
