Chapter 404

Red slogans, red flags, red barrels, red vending machines, and even the heads of pet dogs are also decorated in red.

At Liverpool's John Lennon Airport, it's not red but blue sky overhead.

The Beatles and Liverpool FC, two of the things Liverpool is best known to the world have been linked in this way.

At John Lennon Airport, all the fans who welcomed the Liverpool soldiers at the airport were as quiet as asleep. They didn't drink but they were in high spirits.When Liverpool's star stepped out of the hatch, the fans screamed.

"Gerald, Gerald, Gerald!"

"Garcia, Garcia, Garcia!"

"Alonso, Alonso, Alonso!"

"TOM, TOM, TOM!!!"

Tang Wu and Gerrard walked off the plane holding the big ear trophy, one on the left and one on the right, and held it high in front of all the media and fans, enjoying the pleasure of being flooded by flashing lights.

"Hey Captain, turn around a little bit, you were almost photographed just now." Tang Wu whispered.

"OK!" Gerrard replied softly, then twisted his wrist naturally, so that the trophy in the two hands was facing everyone.

Fortunately, the eyes of these fans are all focused on the heroes of Liverpool. The big ear cup just took pictures casually, and then shouted the names of the players, hoping to get their response.

In fact, this big ear cup is indeed genuine, but it has a little flaw.

There is a dent on the earring on the side of the big ear trophy. If the fans are careful and sharp-eyed, it is not difficult to find it.

When the team was celebrating at the hotel after winning against Milan, the "soft-footed shrimp" Barosch on the court was actually "relaxed" outside the court. He accidentally knocked the big ear cup on a piano, which led to There was a gap in the ear of the cup.

Since this is the fifth time for Liverpool to win the Champions League, the club has the right to permanently collect the Big Ears Cup, and naturally has the right to deal with this "wound" by itself.

However, according to the club official with the team, the club is likely to retain this scar: "This scar has become part of the characteristics of this trophy! It would be a pity if we repaired it!"

In fact, it is not the first time that Liverpool have broken the trophy. After Liverpool defeated Arsenal to win the FA Cup in 2001, the FA Cup trophy that returned to Anfield after nine years was also unfortunately lost.

Under the leadership of the team leader, the heroes of the Red Army boarded the parade car one after another.As the car drove forward, the players greeted countless Red Army fans on both sides.

A big part of the impossibility of being able to bring Liverpool back to life after being hit by four bombs in Istanbul was the support of the fans.

After this game, fans of the Red Army all over the world don't know how many more.

As a tourist in Istanbul put it: "I didn't know what football was, but from this moment on, I'm a Liverpool fan."

Now, the heroes of Anfield, who have returned to their hometown, stood in the car and slowly drove towards the city amidst the Liverpool team song "You Won't Walk Alone".

"I've always said that Liverpool fans are the best fans in England, now I have to change that, I have to say Liverpool fans are the best fans in Europe."

Beitu held up a glass of champagne and collided with the assistant coach Paco.

The open top of the parade bus is a place for young people to stay. A middle-aged man like him prefers to hide in the car and have a drink.

Benitez is enthusiastically sought after by the Red Army fans. Although Liverpool's performance in the league this season is not ideal, after all, under the leadership of the Spaniard, the Red Army fans not only won the domestic double, but also re-tasted. The feeling of coming back to the top of Europe.

In the sea of ​​fans welcoming Liverpool, many people still read Benitez's name.

A Red Army fan said in an interview: "He is our magic weapon, he is our Mourinho."

Not everyone is willing to compare Benitez with Mourinho. A female Liverpool fan next to him retorted on the spot: "Benitez is much kinder than Mourinho. The one who picks you up and kisses your cheek. And Mourinho looks weird, he's not cold, why is he always wearing a trench coat?"

According to conservative estimates by Liverpool officials, about 50 citizens participated in the parade.

Tang Wu and other teammates displayed the big ear cup that only belonged to the club on the roof, and waved to the fans on both sides.

"TOM, TOM, TOM!!!"

On both sides of the street, many girl fans shouted Tang Wu's nickname at the top of their voices.

Their hands were either holding a poster with Tang Wu's head aloft, or they were holding a big slogan saying: "Magical Tom, can I be your Jerry?"

Whenever he saw these female fans who belonged only to him, Tang Wu would grab a handful of candies with his left hand and throw them at them.

And these female fans all proudly raised their chests, using their proud career line to receive the candy thrown by Tang Wu, it seemed that it would taste sweeter this way.

There are also some small fans, who sit on the necks of their parents and stand slightly behind, but they all wear a glove toy one size larger in their left hands.

The glove toy is very ordinary, an open six-fingered palm, exactly like those balloons floating in the air.

"Tang, tell me quietly, what does it feel like to have six fingers?" Alonso pushed aside an orange, and asked beside Tang Wu.

Tang Wu looked at the short Spanish man with disgust, and subconsciously put his left hand behind his back: "Sorry Harvey, I can't tell you. If you really want to know, you can ask your girlfriend to ask Me, I think she will describe it to you very well."

"Haha, are you kidding?" Garcia approached and laughed, "Do you think he will have a girlfriend?"

"Nonsense! Why can't I have a girlfriend?" Alonso blushed and looked furious.

"Because of this!" Garcia grabbed a stick of malt candy and shook it in front of the two of them.

"See? This is what Harvey actually looks like"

"You..." Alonso blushed, his fingers trembling with anger.

"Hey Louis, how can you say that about Harvey?"

Tang Wu snatched the maltose over.

Just when Alonso cast a grateful look at Tang Wu, Tang Wu broke apart the maltose, picked the shorter side and said: "This length is more appropriate."

"Fake, Tang, give it to me!" Alonso's lungs were about to explode, and he immediately stretched out his hand to snatch Tang Wu.

"Hey, this way!" Gerald shouted from the side.

After receiving the malt candy thrown by Tang Wu, Gerald tore apart the short candy from the middle: "Tang, your description is not accurate. Although the length is similar, the diameter is the right way!"

"Hahahahaha" The Red Army members who watched the excitement around burst into laughter.

Seeing the smaller maltose in Gerrard's hand, Alonso really wanted to die.

"cheers!"

"cheers!"

Bei Bald's face was already a little reddish, and he had another drink with Paco and drank it down before belching loudly.

Although he did not win the league championship, Beitu's three championships are enough to prove that he is the number one coach in the Premier League.

If the League Cup + FA Cup < League Championship, what about the League Cup + FA Cup + Champions League?
No one will say "quantity is not as good as quality" anymore, because Beitu not only has quantity, but also quality!
"Paco, do you know how helpless I was at this time a year ago!" Beitu took a deep breath and sighed.

May 5 last year was the day the Crown Prince of Spain got married.Benitez holds Liverpool's quasi-contract at the Palace Hotel, which is soaked in trust for the next five years, but he is so lonely.

The general manager of the Valencia Club, Llorente, had semi-openly negotiated contracts with Ranieri, Manzano and other famous coaches for the new season. Benitez had to go north to England alone after leaving behind the League Championship and the UEFA Cup.

What can make him feel at ease is only the firm encouragement of the Liverpool officials who have been around his ears: "Raphael, no matter what happens in 5 years, we will be with you."

"I think Llorente must regret it now!" Paco echoed.

"You know what? I'm going back to Extremadura next Saturday and they're going to give me the honor of being an honorary ambassador of the city. Huh, they all just know that I started there, but they forgot That was the darkest page of my career!"

Beitu's first football performance started with Extremadura, which miraculously entered the first division with Beitu.Moreover, in the game against a giant like Barcelona, ​​he played an unforgettable classic attack, which made Van Gaal, who had Rivaldo and other stars at the time, ashamed, and made the entire La Liga look sideways.

But after the end of the season, the club actually terminated the contract in the name of Benitez negotiating with other clubs in private, and refused to pay the remaining salary.

Benitez was unemployed for a year because of this. During this year, Benitez felt the pain of leaving the field, but football made him never alone.

People often see him watching the game on the spot, crazily absorbing new ideas of football, setting up his own football teaching and communication website, systematically studying all the on-the-spot commands of the famous Italian coach Sacchi, and writing "offensive and defensive" for UEFA. Balance", "90-minute physical distribution" and other academic papers.

But at the turn of the millennium, the little-known Beitu was just a deputy to the director of Real Madrid's foundation department.The second-level coach who has not yet received the call from Valencia just kept begging his master, hoping to get a more valuable job.

Many people in the world will make a common mistake, seldom listen to famous quotes from non-celebrities.

Two years later, when Beto won the league championship for Valencia after 31 years of waiting, his speech at the Bernabeu had an unforgettable echo, "My football requires strict management, strict discipline, strict discipline, detail, serious, very serious work attitude."

"I think a wise club should not rely too much on players. In addition to giving reasonable salaries, they should also give some sense of honor and responsibility. The most important point is to give a basic concept, that is, absolute obedience to the club."

"The space for performance is given to the coach. The individual performance of the players must be included in this space. This applies to both big and small clubs."

After Valencia won the championship last season, Beitu said in an interview with this newspaper: "I don't want to exaggerate the role of the coach, but I must emphasize the responsibility of the coach. The reason is very simple. The future of football will definitely be more scientific and reasonable. And it will be counted by the minute, and in this regard, personal excellence will become more and more ancillary."

Obviously, the 15 minutes in midfield gave Liverpool a new look in the second half. Even if Milan scored another goal, there was no strong belief in preventing the Red Army from equalizing and counterattacking.

After winning the Champions League, Beitu emphasized to the camera again: "Yes, Liverpool gave me 5 years, and I achieved the Champions League in one year. However, I want to clearly point out that we won the championship. In view of this, We will see this as the starting point, not the end. Liverpool needs to be remodeled and blood transfused, and we will have a new combination in the new season. I want to emphasize that the new signings will be based on the principles of practicality and applicability. Moreover, some Important players are not for sale, you know who I mean!"

Beau used to be very "lonely" - in Real Madrid, when Hierro laughed at his defensive theory; in Valladolid, when the fans forgot what he had done; in Extremadura, when When the chairman forced him to admit that he was unemployed for a year and still had a yearly salary; in Valencia, when his best friend and general manager Llorente betrayed him; Liverpool, when the original red was not even more vivid than Parla's sickle-axe.
However, it was the battle song of the Red Army outside the window that rang in Beitu's ears.These Liverpool fans stand with their team all the time.

Accompanied by the doctor of law and the painter's wife Monsieur, and under the advice of his terminally ill reporter friend Francisco, Betty started from winning the League Cup, and there are many people around him who never contacted each other, but suddenly became concerned. his guy.

Until the night after defeating Milan to win the championship, Bosque, the master who had a very cold relationship and wrote an article to criticize himself not long ago, also accepted him generously.

The master and apprentice chatted for a long time on the phone, nothing more than affirmation of Beitu's work and praise of his teaching methods.

But Beitu is very clear-headed. What conquered these people was not his tolerance, capable work and tenacious fighting spirit, but the honors won by those Liverpool soldiers after bloody battles.

Now, the fans of Mestalla have begun to miss Benitez deeply, and even the old man is looking forward to the day when Benitez can whip the Bernabeu.

But Beitu's professionalism told him that he still has four years to "never walk alone".In these four years, starting with this year's Triple Crown, he must leave something for Liverpool.

Looking at the crazy fans outside the window, Beitu's slightly drunk eyes suddenly flooded.

"Paco, although the game is over, our work will continue."

"But as ordered, sir." Paco drank the champagne in his hand.

"Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow at the latest! I want to see a new contract between the club and TOM!" Bei Bald's words were categorical, and there was no doubt at all.

"As you wish sir!" Paco's eyes were full of excitement, "Liverpool can't live without Tom! Just like Liverpool can't live without the champion!"
