Chapter 6: Dalglish's Recommendations
Looking at the old man in front of him, although his appearance has changed a lot, George can still see Dalglish's appearance back then, when George was a baby, his parents took George to Anfield Stadium to watch Liverpool's game, the absolute superstar on the field, the soul of Liverpool.
As a Liverpool fan and player, George can't stay calm when he sees Dalglish, you must know that Dalglish is not just a name, behind this name, it represents an era, a glory.
Dalglish may be Scottish, but that doesn't stop Liverpool fans from loving him. You must know that when Dalglish came to Liverpool, he took over Keegan's class, because Keegan chose to leave Liverpool and go to the West German League.
In the suspicion of the fans at that time, Dalglish conquered all Liverpool fans with his perfect performance, and with his talent, he successfully provoked Keegan's departure, even better than Keegan.
Even if Dalglish is now away from football, if Liverpool fans want to judge that player as Liverpool's greatest player, it is not God Keegan, but King Dalglish.
Dalglish spent his golden years at Liverpool, and Liverpool began their journey to dominate the Premier League under the leadership of Dalglish and a group of talented players. This also led to the situation that in the eighties, Liverpool became the hegemon of the Premier League, and it can be said that Liverpool was absolutely invincible in the Premier League at that time.
However, with the Heysel tragedy, Liverpool also fell into a slump, and Dalglish began to enter the management of the Liverpool team as a half-player coach.
It has to be said that Dalglish is not only a talented footballer, but also a talented coach. The Liverpool team coached by Dalglish at that time, although it was not as glamorous as Dalglish's players, could still win the championship regularly.
But God always likes to joke with people, or God is jealous of Dalglish, and when Liverpool rises to prominence under Dalglish's guidance, tragedy happens again. Ninety-six Liverpool fans lost their lives watching Liverpool's FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest at Sheffield's Hillsborough Stadium, a serious blow to Dalglish, who was Liverpool manager at the time.
Two brilliant times, two tragedies, especially the latter one, made Dalglish unable to hold on any longer, and when he won the championship the following year, Dalglish chose to resign.
But even so, Liverpool fans will never give up the glory and glory that Dalglish brought to Liverpool in the era of players and coaches, and from this point of view, Liverpool's God Keegan is clearly not Dalglish's opponent.
With Manchester United as the new Premier League hegemon, all the Liverpool fans are shouting at Goldman Sachs, we need Kenny, we need Dalglish. Because Liverpool fans know that with the re-emergence of Kenny Dalglish, Liverpool can regain their dominance in the Premier League as they did in the eighties. This shows how high Dalglish's status is in the hearts of Liverpool fans.
"Hehe, don't be so nervous, young man, you can call me Kenny." Seeing that George looked nervous and excited, not knowing what to say or what to say, Dalglish said with a smile.
In Dalglish's eyes, George at this moment, just like Fowler back then, also has outstanding football talent and is equally shy.
"Oh~ Okay Kenny, I heard that you have left football, why did you come to Liverpool this time, come here, are you here to find me?" As Dalglish spoke first, George slowly let go of his nervousness and began to grin. You must know that Georgeke is not an ordinary person, and a certain amount of self-control is still there.
Seeing George recover so quickly, Dalglish's eyes couldn't help but show a hint of surprise, in Dalglish, as long as it is Liverpool's players and fans, after seeing themselves, can quickly recover and calm down, George is the first and only.
"What a horrible self-control!" Dalglish thought to himself in the bottom of his heart, because Dalglish would not believe that a Liverpool fan and the identity of a player would have a calm face after seeing him, or that he didn't like him at all. After all, he brought countless honors to Liverpool at the beginning, and as long as he is a Liverpool fan and player, he can't fail to respect himself.
So after seeing George's quick recovery, Dalglish could also guess that the reason why George was able to recover so quickly was entirely due to his own self-control.
"Hehe, who said I left football, I remember that Fowler kid had just surpassed my record and I called him to congratulate him. I'm not in the limelight now, but I've never left football, never. Especially Liverpool, which I love, I see every move of Liverpool. ”
Listening to Dalglish's words, George stood there stupidly, not knowing what to say.
"Alright, don't be so restrained, sit down." Dalglish sat on the lawn next to George, stretched out his hand and patted the lawn beside him, motioning for George to sit down and talk.
"Liverpool at the moment can really be said to be lucky and unlucky. Luckily, Liverpool have had the likes of Michael, Steven and you after Fowler, and I've seen your games and I'm sure Liverpool won't have to worry about attacking for at least a decade. But Liverpool are also in a bad situation at the moment, and I've even heard some rumours. ”
For Liverpool, a Liverpool that has injected too much emotion into himself, Dalglish has feelings that others can't understand, and thinking of the current situation of Liverpool, Dalglish also has feelings.
Dalglish looked up at the blue sky and couldn't help but take a long breath, the blue sky is very rare for the UK.
Hearing Dalglish also admit his strength, George couldn't help but forcibly suppress the excitement in his heart, nonsense, the praise of the Liverpool King is like Pele praising a player in Brazil, or Maradona praising an Argentine player.
However, thinking of his current situation, George said helplessly: "Kenny, you know, my injury this time is really serious, so serious that I am almost crippled, and it is a gift from God that I can continue to stand here now." I don't know if I'm going to be able to continue scoring for Liverpool like I used to. ”
Hearing George's words, Dalglish turned his head to look at the young face in front of him, took a deep breath and said, "George, I wonder if I can give you a piece of advice?" ”
"Any advice, Kenny, just say it." Hearing Dalglish give him a suggestion, George nodded hurriedly and said.
Dalglish lay on the lawn casually, reminiscing about his penchant for lying on the lawn and looking at the blue sky after scoring a goal.
"George, you should know who is the greatest coach of our Liverpool club, right?"
"Of course I know that, naturally our great Shankly coach."
"Yes, Mr. Shankly, do you know Mr. Shankly's most famous phrase?"
"Kenny, what do you mean ······"
"Yes, you're right, that's what you said. When I came to Liverpool, I was also a defender of Mr. Shankly's words, and now that I am gone, I can no longer defend Mr. Shankly's famous words. Now I hope you can carry on this tradition and continue to fight. ”
"What do you mean ······"
Without waiting for George to finish, Dalglish interrupted George and said, "Yes, that's what it says, football is not only about life and death, it is more important than life and death!" ”
"Football isn't just about life and death, it's more important than life and death." Hearing Dalglish's words, George lowered his head and read it over and over again.
