※※※

Liverpool won the league championship ahead of schedule, which became the biggest news in English football that day and even for many days after that.

Of course, the key word in the news is not "advance", but "championship".

This is the first ever Premier League title in the history of Liverpool Club.

What does this mean?

This means that the king who swept across England and the European continent, that sleeping giant, has finally awakened from his twenty-two-year slumber! The traditional strong team that had been ignored before finally returned to where they should be.

This means that the era when Manchester United was the only one to dominate the Premier League is over. From now on, they have an extra difficult opponent that they have to face.

"This is definitely not good news for Manchester United."

On the TV news in the evening, the host told this matter with an expression on his face: "I'm afraid the world will be too peaceful."

"When the Premier League was first established, Manchester United suddenly emerged and established their position as the Premier League hegemon. However, the Premier League hegemony was not so easy to win. Ferguson had many opponents. At the beginning, he and Dalglish's Blake In this fight, Blackburn robbed them of one of their league titles. Of course Ferguson, a grudge-minded man, would not admit defeat. Manchester United regained the championship from Blackburn in the second season... After that, he led Arsenal to tangle with him. Ten years of Wenger, then Mourinho's arrival at Chelsea, and then Mancini's Manchester City... What these people have in common is that they all have the same enemy - Sir Alex Ferguson and his Manchester United empire. . But in the face of successive attacks from these opponents, Ferguson defended them all. His Manchester United is still the most successful team in the Premier League and a powerful enemy that opponents will never dare to ignore. He has survived more than 20 years of ups and downs. , but now he is facing the biggest dilemma... This may be the most difficult situation he has encountered since coaching - Liverpool is back."

Chen Yingxiong kept pressing the remote control. Whenever he saw someone talking about Liverpool, he would stop and watch it with interest for a while.

Cabrera was very surprised: "What are you doing, hero? Wasn't the previous channel also talking about Liverpool?"

"I want to hear how other programs are evaluated, hehe!" Chen Yingxiong said with a happy smile. "I just want to see what the media think about us winning the championship from Manchester United!"

Cabrera shook her head helplessly. In her opinion, the hero was really like a child who had not grown up at this time, and he was very playful...

"...Liverpool is back. Yes, the Red Army that once made the whole of Europe change its color has passed through many historical mists and is finally back! For Liverpool fans, this is the most joyful thing, in fact, it is better than winning They were even more excited to win the first Premier League championship trophy in history. Liverpool's performance this season has been dominant, which means that in the next season, Liverpool is still likely to continue this performance, and they will create something for Manchester United. Big enough trouble that I think Ferguson may have to reconsider his retirement..."

Chen Yingxiong also pressed the remote control.

The screen turned to show Ferguson attending the post-match press conference. He was sitting on the stage, with various microphones, recorders and other interview tools piled in front of him.

"Liverpool won the league title. Of course, I won't congratulate them. And there's nothing to be happy about..." Ferguson sat on the stage and answered reporters' questions expressionlessly. Liverpool won the championship. For such an important thing, everyone definitely wants to hear what Ferguson said.

Ferguson did not hear that it was Liverpool's question, so he simply refused to answer or left the field angrily. If you do this, it will appear that you are afraid of the other party and weaken your own momentum. Against Liverpool, Ferguson would not do this. He would choose to answer the question. The question may be difficult to answer, but Ferguson has his own way.

"Because this is just one Premier League championship, and we have..." Ferguson stretched out one finger on his left hand, and then four fingers on his right hand, "Fourteen."

Then he withdrew his gesture, sat back in his chair, crossed his hands on his chest, looked at the group of reporters below, and also looked at the camera lens and said: "Do you understand what I mean, everyone?"

This veteran commander who had experienced many battles and hardships, at this moment, suddenly became less like an old man and more like a general who still retained his majesty, exuding a suffocating and astonishing aura!

Chen Yingxiong was originally smiling and ready to watch Manchester United's jokes, but at this moment, his smile disappeared and was replaced by a dignified and serious expression.

He felt that the old coach seemed not to be talking to reporters, but to himself...

We at Manchester United have fourteen Premier League titles, and you, Liverpool, only have one. In front of me, what do you have to do to be so good? What qualifications do you have to be so happy and excited? Want to outdo us? You are still far away! You see what I mean, kid?

Cabrera suddenly noticed that Chen Yingxiong was no longer smiling, but was staring at the TV screen with a frown. After a while, he nodded.

Then, Chen Yingxiong suddenly fell back on the back of the sofa and let out a sigh of relief: "There are still thirteen champions..."

Cabrera wondered: "What thirteen championships?"

Chen Yingxiong pointed at Ferguson on the screen and said: "To catch up with his current results, I still need to win at least 13 league titles for Liverpool."

If Cabrera had been a proper fan, she would have widened her eyes and exclaimed: "Topping Manchester United's number of league titles? Are you crazy, hero?!"

It's a pity that Cabrera is not a qualified football fan, and her personality will not allow her to make such a fuss.

She just smiled at Chen Yingxiong and nodded: "Then do it, hero!"

But Chen Yingxiong rolled his eyes: "You said it simply. That means I will stay in this team for thirteen years and win the league championship every year! Do you know how old I will be by then? "

"Thirty-nine years old." Cabrera replied, as if Chen Yingxiong was really asking her how old she would be then.

"Of course I know! But do you think I can play until I'm thirty-nine, Christine?"

Kristine smiled: "Don't you want to challenge such a difficult thing, hero?"

This is Chen Yingxiong's favorite thing to say in the past. He always flaunts himself in this way. Since it is one of his life creeds, he cannot just talk without practicing.

Now, as long as Cabrera blocks Chen Yingxiong with these words, Chen Yingxiong will definitely raise his hands to surrender. Just like this time, he also raised his hands in a gesture of surrender: "Okay, okay, I will try my best. Christine."

"You can do it, hero."

Chen Yingxiong turned his head and looked at Christine Cabrera's beautiful face: "You have so much confidence in me?"

Cabrera nodded seriously: "I am a bodyguard. My job is to worry about others and worry about their safety. I always imagine that others are in very dangerous situations and what should I do... In this world , if there is one person who can make me not worry... I think that person is you, hero."

Cabrera looked at Chen Yingxiong and said, "So, being with you always makes me feel at ease."

Chen Yingxiong stretched out his hand and hugged Cabrera: "Okay, thirteen years is thirteen years, and thirty-nine is thirty-nine! But before that, we have more important things to do... …”

"What...um..."

Cabrera was speechless because Chen Yingxiong's lips had already pressed on her.

The eternal topic between Liverpool and Manchester United is still being discussed on TV, but Chen Yingxiong no longer cares.

※※※

All week long, Liverpool have been preparing for their championship celebrations.

The Premier League championship trophy will be awarded after the last game of the season, Liverpool's home game against Swansea, and then Liverpool will hold a grand championship celebration.

This is the first league championship in the history of Liverpool Club. Of course, there must be a big celebration. If the Manchester United people want to say that Liverpool people have never seen league champions as rubes, then let them say so!

This is our celebration and no one can tell us what to do!

Although there are still a few days until the game, all tickets for this game have been sold out, and Anfield Stadium will be completely packed by then.

Countless Liverpool fans can't wait to witness the scene when the team holds the Premier League championship trophy with both hands.

And it is said that Liverpool Club also invited little queen Taylor to sing for Liverpool.

There is also a local Liverpool rock band.

What a grand occasion!

※※※

Liverpool's last game of the 2013-2014 Premier League season itself is not worth detailing. Swansea is a nice green leaf, or rather... "air". They were very sensible and did not disturb Liverpool's feast. They lined up to applaud before the game to welcome the new champion. After the game, they lost a clean 0:2. As soon as the final whistle sounded, they evacuated Anfield Stadium at the speed of light, leaving this place behind. The stage was left to Liverpool - the only regret was that Chen Yingxiong only scored one goal in the game, and in the end he was unable to complete his goal of surpassing Dixie Dean...

Next, the Liverpool players entered the locker room to change into commemorative T-shirts, and then came out to receive the championship trophy. The stage for the celebration had been set.

Because it was daytime, there was no way to use lights to create an atmosphere on the court.

But even the simplest stage will not affect everyone's mood.

Besides, Taylor Swift will sing live!

When the players changed into T-shirts with "Liverpool are Champions" printed on them and walked out, the stage in the center of the stadium had already been set up. However, they did not go up, but stood below, waiting in line for someone.

Old Hutson, who has served Liverpool for forty-five years...this year is already his forty-sixth year, was invited to the stage as the host of today's event. He first worked as a live DJ at the Liverpool Stadium, responsible for playing music before the game and during halftime, leading the fans to chant the name of every Liverpool player. Many older fans watched the game listening to Hutson's voice. Hutson's unique sharp voice has even become a memory of their childhood and youth.

Later, after the advent of television broadcasts, Hutson retired from the position of live DJ and became a commentator. Many of today's young fans also grew up listening to his voice.

So everyone respects and likes such an old man very much.

After Old Hutson came on stage and said something, he invited Taylor Swift.

When Taylor Swift, dressed resplendently and wearing a guitar, walked to the stage amidst the applause and cheers of tens of thousands of people, she passed through the aisles of welcoming players, and then she faced Chen, who was standing at the front. The hero winked mischievously.

Chen Yingxiong really had nothing to do with his god-sister. You must know that Taylor Swift was not invited by the Liverpool Club, but she took the initiative to apply after hearing that Liverpool won the championship...

Chen Yingxiong naturally knew that this was for his own sake.

It's just that I owe a lot of debts to people, how can I repay them...

Chen Yingxiong was very distressed.

※※※

After Taylor came on stage, he raised his hands in front of the fans and shouted into the microphone: "We are the champions--!"

The atmosphere at the scene immediately became lively.

As expected of a big star who performs live concerts, it is easy for a little diva to cope with such a scene.

With just one sentence, she brought herself closer to the Liverpool fans and brought the atmosphere to a climax.

"This song is for you!"

After speaking, she gently plucked the strings.

There was no accompanying music, just the sound of her guitar as she softly sang Liverpool's team anthem "You'll Never Walk Alone."

This is a team song similar to a cappella. In the past, what everyone was familiar with was the different version of the majestic, powerful and lyrical song that was sung simultaneously by tens of thousands of people at Anfield Stadium.

This version is more clear and melodious. Although it is not as powerful as the fans' chorus, it has another kind of beauty.

Many people were even moved by Taylor Swift's singing, and once again burst into tears of excitement. They thought of those old memories that had turned yellow again.

I think of the turbulent years when they sang this song and followed Liverpool in the war and swept across the European continent. I also think of the grief of losing ninety-six compatriots on the afternoon when the Hillsborough tragedy occurred. They also thought of the Premier League era that collapsed after the Hillsborough tragedy, and of the Premier League championship trophy that they had been chasing for twenty-two years. There is simply no woman in the world who is more difficult to chase.

These memory fragments flow in the singing of Taylor Swift and appear in the minds of every Liverpool fan.

As Taylor reached the end of her song, she raised her arms.

Everyone knows what that means.

More than 50,000 Liverpool fans at the scene sang along with Taylor Swift: "You will never do it alone!!!"

※※※

"you'll never Walk Alone--!"

Chen Yingxiong suddenly heard these lyrics ringing in his ears. He turned around and found that captain Gerrard and vice-captain Carragher were both singing the song with their eyes closed and devotedly.

And he laughed. At this moment the two captains really looked like Liverpool fans rather than players.

※※※

"You will never walk alone!!!"

The last line of the song "You'll Never Walk Alone" echoed throughout Anfield.

Chen Xing stood on the podium and said to Niang beside him: "Anfield Stadium can only accommodate more than 40,000 people, which is too small. Now I suddenly need a bigger stadium..."

Niang said next to him: "The debt problem of Stanley Stadium is being dealt with and will be resolved soon. Then we can start construction again."

※※※

After the song was sung, Anfield Stadium remembered the deafening and endless applause. In the applause, Taylor Swift bowed and left the stage.

Old Hutson returned to the stage and announced that the awards ceremony had officially begun!

The long-awaited event finally arrived, and the applause and cheers at the scene reached a new level.

Amid constant cheers and applause, the English Premier League championship trophy appeared in the center of the podium, surrounded by Liverpool players.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the shining silver trophy, and their eyes were full of longing. They couldn't wait to kiss Fangze immediately.

Logically speaking, it should be the first captain of the team to receive the award on behalf of the entire team.

So it was Gerrard who should have gone to Liverpool, but Gerrard patted Carragher and pushed him out!

Carragher looked back at his comrades in surprise.

Gerald smiled at him: "This is given to you by the hero, Jamie."

Carragher thought Gerrard was angry at Chen Yingxiong's words. He explained: "He just said it casually, Stephen..."

Gerrard shook his head: "Hero and I talked, Jamie. We agreed that you should be the first to win this trophy as the captain of Liverpool." Gerrard pointed to the championship trophy in front of him. Say, "Look, Jamie. There she is, waiting. We've been chasing her for twenty-two years, and now you have to help us get her. That honor is yours, Jamie. It's not just me and the heroes They all think so."

After saying that, he pointed sideways behind him. Only then did Carragher see all his teammates looking at him and said to him: "Go, captain!"

Usually they call Gerrard "captain" and Carragher "vice" or "vice". This was the first time they called Carragher captain, but it was also the last time...

Carragher looked at Chen Yingxiong again, and Chen Yingxiong was blinking at him.

Carragher turned his head again and looked at the shining silver trophy. He and all the teammates he had encountered in his career who had fought side by side had pursued it hard and made it their goal. .

But they all failed.

I didn't expect that I would now have the opportunity to touch it with my own hands, lift it, kiss... it.

He took a deep breath and stepped towards the championship trophy that all Liverpool people dream of.

The official in charge of awarding the award did not lift the trophy and hand it to Carragher. Obviously he also knew what this trophy meant to the Liverpool players and fans, so there should be a different awards ceremony than usual.

He stepped aside and smiled at Carragher: "Jamie, it's yours now!"

Carragher nodded to him and said: "Thank you."

Then he walked over to the trophy.

At this time, the cheers at the scene suddenly stopped, and everyone stared at the center of the field with bated breath.

※※※

Gerrard looked at Carragher's back and remembered what Chen Yingxiong secretly said to him, as well as what he had not said to Carragher.

He said to himself: "The vice-captain is retiring soon, and this championship is given to him. But you will not retire so early, captain, so we will still have many league championships to win together, and we will keep them for you. Until you get tired of it.”

Thinking of this, Gerrard turned to look at Chen Yingxiong again. He was smiling happily and applauding with his teammates around him.

This kid really dares to say it.

Win many, many league titles? I'm afraid even Ferguson wouldn't dare to say that...

However, I suddenly want to see, hero, can you really fulfill your promise?

The cheers suddenly got louder. Gerrard was awakened from his reverie and saw Carragher reaching for the trophy with both hands.

Chen Yingxiong and other teammates around him were cheering, whistling and booing.

※※※

Carragher stretched out his hands, but when his fingers touched the handle of the trophy, he suddenly shrank and trembled, and he finally grabbed the handle.

But he didn't immediately lift the trophy. The cheers were much louder.

In his eighteen-year career, he has even held trophies like the European Champions Cup, but why does he feel that this trophy is so heavy...

But how can we stop at this time?

Carragher gritted his teeth and with a sudden force, he directly "pulled out" the trophy that symbolized the highest honor of the English Premier League!

Yes, it's "pull out"! Not "lift"!

※※※

"He lifted it!"

Such cheers erupted from the stands.

Then it formed a torrent and swept the entire Anfield stadium stands!

Just as Carragher "plucked" the trophy, his teammates behind him swarmed up and surrounded Carragher in the middle, while countless red and white confetti were sprayed from behind the podium.

The atmosphere reached its climax at this moment.

Carragher's emotions were also completely released. He took the lead in shouting: "We are the champions!"

"we are the champion!!!"

His teammates around him also chanted.

All the fans chanted at the same time: "We are the champions!!!"

Yes, Liverpool are champions, but only this year.

For those Liverpool fans cheering in the stands, even if it is just a summer championship, they are happy enough.

But for Chen Yingxiong, who was cheering in the crowd, winning the championship for just one year did not help at all.

He needs many, many more championships!
