Chapter 896, The Soul of the Red Army

When Lampard finished speaking, his eyes filled with tears.

All stood up at Old Trafford and gave the most sincere applause to the legend of England and the hero of Manchester United Lampard!

On the sidelines of the court, Kintag also applauded vigorously.

"It's really a lucky thing to be able to partner with Frank for two years at the end of his career." Jin Taige said to himself.

At this time, Jin Taige suddenly heard someone sighing softly beside him, and when he looked back, it turned out to be Rooney.

When Kintag entered the locker room just now, almost all the players greeted Kintag friendly, except for Rooney. He was sitting in the corner at that time, just nodded to Jin Taige, did not speak, bowed his head and said nothing.

Jin Taige knew that Rooney still felt a little estranged from him.

In fact, in Kintag's heart, he still admires Rooney very much. Kintag has known Rooney since he first came to Manchester United. At that time, he was still the coach of the youth team and Rooney was still a young star.

But when the two people's life paths converged, they eventually went their separate ways.

Kim Taeg looked at Rooney, and Rooney seemed to feel it, and he also looked at Kim Tag.

Jin Taige smiled slightly: "Wayne, you performed well in Bayern last season and won the double crown, congratulations."

Rooney squeezed out some smiles, but the smiles seemed uglier than crying: "Tiger... Boss, thank you."

"I can still hear you call me 'boss', it feels really good," Jin Taige was suddenly moved, "Wayne, let me give you a suggestion, how about it?"

Rooney nodded.

Kintag looked at Southgate who was standing not far away: "Wayne, I know you are a little frustrated that you were not selected for the new national team. But don't worry, I hope you will not lose your position. If you can continue to maintain your form this season, I believe the door of the national team will open to you. Come on!"

"Don't worry boss, I will work hard."

Rooney said so, but he knew in his heart that Southgate likes young stars, and his dream of participating in the 2018 World Cup has long been wiped out...

The two were chatting on the sidelines. On the court, it was Gerrard's turn to speak.

Gerrard stood in the middle of the field, he seemed a little unnatural, he looked around the field for a week, and then spoke slowly.

"Actually, today's farewell game for retirement, I always feel a bit awkward. The main reason is the stadium problem. The venue of the farewell game was originally scheduled to be Wembley Stadium, but Wembley is under renovation. Change to Old Trafford. Think about it, it’s too embarrassing to hold a farewell game for the former Liverpool captain at Old Trafford?"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Before Gerrard said this, the whole Old Trafford stadium burst into laughter!

The fans yelled loudly.

"It's your England national team captain, our national hero!"

"Steven, you are Manchester United's most hated enemy! And the enemy I respect the most!"

"Steven, don't worry, Liverpool will definitely hold another special celebration, and only we Liverpool people will be there!"

The atmosphere is getting warmer and warmer, whether they are Manchester United fans or Liverpool fans, they are all England fans at this time. At this moment, all the fans stood up and applauded Gerrard for a minute, and the applause resounded through the sky! Everyone expresses their sincere respect to him!

Phelan on the sidelines is still Kintag's assistant coach today. He laughed: "I was worried before that Gerrard would be booed when he entered the field!"

After the applause, Gerrard waved at the fans: "Thank you for your applause and support. But, um... in this stadium, I still feel that booing is more customary."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

There was another burst of laughter from all the fans, this time there were some boos mixed in with the laughter,

But Gerrard knew in his heart that these boos were well-intentioned.

For a player who has spent his entire life on the green field, there is nothing more glorious than the boos of the enemy!

Gerald cleared his throat and spoke slowly.

"When I was a teenager, I fulfilled my childhood dream - to don the famous Liverpool shirt. When I made my debut against Blackburn Rovers in November 1998, I never imagined what would come next. 18 years will be so brilliant."

"I am very honored to have experienced so many bright moments in my career, and played more than 700 games for Liverpool, many of which were played as captain. Of course, the biggest honor is undoubtedly the famous Istanbul night. The club did their bit to bring the Champions League trophy back to Anfield."

"At national team level, I have been honored to have captained England 114 times and I will always look back on each time I wore the England shirt with pride."

"I am also very grateful for the days at the Los Angeles Galaxy, and for everything my friends in the United States have given me. That was my last happiness on the pitch."

"Thank you to my teammates, coaches, agents, back office members, fans, all of you for helping me, for being unbelievably supportive throughout my career, and for your encouragement, which means a lot to me. everything."

"Finally, I would like to thank my family. Thank you for your love and support from the beginning to the end. Whether it is the peak or the trough, without your love, I would not be able to walk this journey alone."

"I'm excited about the future because I feel like I can still contribute a lot to the game of football no matter where I am. I'm considering a range of options right now and will be able to announce my next career move soon. It's stage!"

"Thank you all!"

All the fans stood up again, and there was thunderous applause again at Old Trafford. This is dedicated to the two legendary English stars Lampard and Gerrard, and also to the golden age of England in the past. Those golden youth years.

In the end, Palmer, chairman of the FA, made a speech in person. He told everyone that the FA and Manchester United jointly decided to donate all the ticket and advertising revenue today to UNICEF to help impoverished children in the world.

The pre-match farewell was over, the rostrum in the middle of the field was removed, and all the players came to the center of the field to move their bodies. Lampard and Gerrard stood in the middle circle, preparing for free throws. They looked at each other and smiled, and those unforgettable pasts flooded into their hearts again.

Dude, today is our farewell match, let's work hard!
