Chapter 21: The Start

In the 11th round of the Premier League, Liverpool won 1-0 against Aston Villa thanks to George's goal in the 78th minute, thus earning three precious points.

George, who was used as a substitute in both games and also played well, has become the darling of Liverpool fans, and his popularity is close to Owen, the most popular in the current Liverpool team.

Even the "Sun" said: Liverpool's current two main strikers are unable to play, which greatly reduces the strength of Liverpool's forward, but at this time, also from Liverpool's youth training camp, the 16-year-old Alan George stepped forward, two goals in two games, George is using his actions to tell all Premier League teams that Liverpool is still a strong team, and Liverpool's forward line is still sharp.

At the same time, various media began to report George's news, and for a while, even George from just joining the Liverpool junior team, to the youth team, until the current Premier League, all the news has been reported.

With the media reports, coupled with the cooperation of Liverpool's officials, (a lot of inside information was deliberately leaked by Liverpool officials), the entire English people know that Liverpool has another hopeful star after Fowler and Owen, and the super striker killer is rising.

At the same time, the media have found a feature, that is, Liverpool's youth training camp specializes in excellent strikers, whether it is Fowler, who has left now, or Owen, who is recovering from injury, and George, who is currently in the limelight, are all from Liverpool's youth training camp, which also makes many clubs involuntarily send scouts to keep an eye on Liverpool's youth team, hoping to dig up a talented player.

George is famous, Liverpool is victorious, and it can be said that Liverpool is happy all over, but Arsenal can't laugh at the moment. Because in the 11th round of the game, Arsenal was hit hard.

Not only was the team's captain Vieira sent off in the 57th minute for accumulating two yellow cards, but the Magpies' number one killer and England's No. 1 striker Shearer scored a hat-trick with his head and foot to humiliate Arsenal.

With the score of 3:2 maintained to the halftime, the Magpies won the victory, and Arsenal was also pulled down from the first place position by the Magpies because of this loss, but Manchester United, who won this round, sat on the first place again.

Due to the arrangement of the Premier League schedule, the 12th round of the match happens to be the match between Arsenal and Manchester United, which is also destined for the two teams to go all out in the game at that time, and it is destined to be a battle of the century.

But none of this is anything about George, what makes George happiest is that he finally won the trust of manager Houllier with his excellent performance, so as to get the start against Southampton, which is what makes George the happiest.

In fact, there is a reason why Houllier let George play as a starter, that is, George did play better than the Czech Barosh, and in the two games during this time, George's key goals made Houllier also look at it and had to give George a chance to start, and more importantly, he was originally optimistic about the Czech Barosh, whose performance during this period was simply terrible.

"Michael, you have to be careful, George is in good shape during this time, he has played very well, if you don't recover quickly, your main position will be snatched away by George."

At present, Owen has left the hospital and is currently at the club, following the team doctor and the coach to do recovery training, but after all, the injury is just right, and if he wants to play, Owen still needs to wait for a while.

And Gerrard, George and Cockland, a group of teammates on the youth team, like to find Owen when they have nothing to do, and they sit together to chat and pass the time.

Owen couldn't help but smile when he heard Gerald's words, because Owen knew that it was just a joke of his good buddy Gerald, and he didn't have to take it seriously.

"Hehe, Michael, don't worry, we also came out of the youth team together, even if you don't have a place at that time, it doesn't matter, I said to the manager, I just need you to be my substitute, I don't want anyone else."

Looking at Owen's indifferent expression, George couldn't help but say arrogantly.

"What, let me Michael Owen give you George as a substitute, you don't look at yourself, my Michael Owen doesn't matter where he is placed, he is definitely the number one striker, as for the substitute thing, hehe, it is destined to be impossible for me in this life."

Hearing George's words, although he knew it was a joke, Owen couldn't help but say that although Owen has a relatively gentle personality and is very honest, his own talent and outstanding strength make Owen absolutely confident and arrogant in the field of football.

"With the way you are now, can you do it, even if it is to substitute me, I still have to think about it, after all, I can't just waste a precious substitution just because you are my good buddy."

George looked Owen up and down carefully, especially when his last look fell on Owen's injured foot and never moved away.

Owen heard George's words and watched George staring at his injured leg, and couldn't help but become depressed, which made Gerald laugh on the side.

The short happy time passed quickly, and Liverpool also welcomed the Southampton team known as the Saints at home, and the twelfth round of the Premier League officially began.

Standing in the players' tunnel, George felt extremely excited, because this was the first time he started a game since he entered the first team of Liverpool, and it was still at his home stadium, thinking of this, George couldn't calm down.

"Hehe, you're nervous, aren't you? It's nothing, relax, George, you have to know that you are a player with a lot of talent, starting is a given, don't look so nervous, otherwise when we meet Manchester United in the future, that atmosphere is not going to scare you to death. You're a lot luckier than I am now, I didn't have the opportunity to come to Liverpool like you did. ”

Looking at George's excited face, Hyypia thought that George was nervous because this was his first start, and as the current captain of the team, Hyypia immediately comforted George.

Hearing Hyypia's words, George couldn't help but smile, indeed, compared with Hyypia, he is indeed very lucky, the two main strikers can't play, which gives him a huge opportunity to perform. When Hyypia first came to Liverpool, Liverpool at that time could be regarded as the hegemon of the Premier League, and how strong its strength was, Hyypia also stayed up for a long time before he sat in the main position.

"Get on the field!" Hyypia patted George's shoulder, and then walked towards the field with his head held high, and was patted by Hyypia, George couldn't help but be stunned, and then realized that the game was about to start, and hurriedly followed Hyypia towards the court.

This time, I don't know if it was deliberately arranged this way, George's order was second, closely behind captain Hyypia.

"Oh! Welcome our captain, the great Hyypia, who has been in Liverpool for several years and has been an integral part of our Liverpool team for several years......"

As Hyypia was the first to walk into Anfield Stadium, the commentators on the scene hurriedly began to explain, and at the same time, tens of thousands of Liverpool fans at the scene also shouted Hyypia's name loudly to show their respect and love for this powerful and loyal defender.

"The person behind Hyypia is, O~ is our little prince, the key boy George! Although the current George is very young, his strength cannot be underestimated, and he has scored in both games, and George uses his actions to announce to everyone that his era has arrived. I'm really happy because I saw another talent who belongs to us in Liverpool and came out of the youth camp, just like Michael Owen, George used his great performance to show everyone that Liverpool have a great goalscorer. ”

With the commentator's commentary, Anfield Stadium suddenly erupted into a strong wave of sound, huge cheers and shouts, and even George couldn't help but be shocked.

Although he knew that this was his home stadium and knew that he would be very loved by the fans, George never expected that there would be such a sensational scene in his appearance, which made George feel a little moved, and at the same time vowed in his heart that he would win this game and not disappoint the Liverpool fans on the scene.
