On the day of the debut ceremony, Qin Xiong had dinner in a restaurant outside the Anfield Stadium.

Joining him for dinner was Tony Barrett, ace reporter for the Echo.

Tony Barrett put the tape recorder on the dinner table, and his interview began while dinner was in progress.

There will be many 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 agrees to the requests of the fans. After the autograph group photo is over, the fans will cheer him enthusiastically and excitedly, hoping that he can achieve good results for Liverpool in the new season.

The owner of the restaurant promptly came forward after Qin Xiong met the 20th fan and told other fans not to disturb Qin Xiong's meal.

If it goes on endlessly, it doesn't matter whether the restaurant can operate or not. After all, this is a free advertisement, and the boss is naturally happy to hear it, but it will make Qin Xiong feel jealous of this restaurant, and I'm afraid there will be no next patronage.

Tony Barrett has been observing Qin Xiong. He has seen Qin Xiong's approachability and gentle superstar aura.

Halfway through dinner, the interview with Tony Barrett began.

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

It's a foregone conclusion, and what matters more 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 speaking, Liverpool are still the most successful club in England, but for the last 20 years they have struggled to get close to Manchester United.

Unsurprisingly, United fans were filled with ridicule and ridicule, while Liverpool fans were mired in confusion and hatred.

And in the league.Team conflicts always intensify when two strong teams confront each other.

Do you understand what joining Liverpool means? "

Qin Xiong felt very fresh about Tony Barrett's question.

He tentatively replied: "Help Liverpool win the first league title in the Premier League era?"

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

Let's talk about Benitez first, what kind of manager do you think he is? "

After thinking for a while, Qin Xiong said: "A head coach with his own ideas and a firm stand, oh, and also, he is a successful head coach."

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

"But this does not negate Benitez's success in La Liga and Europe. There is also success in England. If you only use championship trophies to measure success, I think it is a bit arbitrary."

Tony Barrett looked at the provocative Qin Xiong and asked curiously: "So do you think Real Madrid was successful last season? Did you succeed?"

Qin Xiong blurted out: "Of course not, that was the worst season in my career! You must know that I have been a professional player for 6 seasons, and last season's performance was the worst. I only got the second place in the league. , I have won league titles in other seasons!"

Qin Xiong who said these words was full of confidence.

Because it's a fact.

Won the treble with Ajax in the first season.

Won the double with Arsenal in the second season.

In the third season, Arsenal still won the double crown, but the FA Cup was replaced by the Champions League!

Achieved a home-grown double with Real Madrid in the fourth season.

The fifth season won the six crowns in Real Madrid!

In the sixth season, no results, second in the league!

His worst season, of course, was last season, second in the league is the lowest league ranking of the team he has played for in his career.

But after saying those words.Qin Xiong felt that he had been tricked.

Tony Barrett smiled, and then solemnly said: "Liverpool needs a championship. The first important thing is naturally the league championship, suppressing Manchester United to win the league championship! The second is the Champions League. But Benitez seems to put this order It's the other way around.

It took Ferguson four years to crack the code of the English league and topple Arsenal after Manchester United's reign was ended by Arsenal in the new millennium, while Benitez has won the Football League title in a similar period. The Cup and led his team to two Champions League finals and won the European Cup the first time around.

Benitez probably believes his record should insulate him from all criticism.If he thinks this way, it can only be said that he has ignored the ideas of the masses.They are willing to exchange the glory of the European battlefield for the victory of the domestic league.In order to surpass Manchester United.

That's the problem with Liverpool.

Just as Ferguson vowed to 'pull Liverpool down', the Liverpool people must have the same determination to recover the lost ground that was taken away by Manchester United.

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

During that time.Club fans suffer from symptoms akin to a stress disorder: frustration, denial.Regained confidence, angry, disappointed and troubled.

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

The Joel effect also happened to Benitez.

Former Tottenham manager Martin Joel has been criticized for his lack of victories against the traditional top four.

Liverpool fans actually don't care much about the results of their team, Arsenal, and Chelsea. What they really care about is the results against their arch-enemy Manchester United.

Benitez can not meet the demands of the fans, then the guillotine has been prepared for him.

Every trophy lifted by a Manchester United captain since 1993 has been torture for Liverpool fans.

Every televised goal by Manchester United and every celebration in the past has been a disgrace to Liverpool fans, even sick to their hearts, while they are increasingly disappointed in Liverpool.

Ferguson said Newcastle was the most difficult club to manage.

The impatience of the Northeast fans and a locker room that smelled of fighting certainly made that impression.

However, if Anfield's hunger for glory overwhelms their sense of normalcy, Liverpool will quickly match Newcastle.

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

Are you ready to be the club's most expensive and biggest signing yet?

Do you know what you are really fighting for?

What do Liverpool fans want?

do you understand? "
