Chapter 72 Carragher’s question (fourth update, please vote for me!!!)

Although he agreed to let Chen Yingxiong be the fourth captain in front of Dalglish, Carragher still had different opinions, but the pressure of the "King" was too great, and he did not dare to face Dalglish with these words. explain.

He could only find Gerrard privately. Because there was another thing that surprised him, and that was why Gerald agreed so readily, and specifically pointed out that he had a good relationship with Chen Yingxiong.

"Steve, what do you think about Kenny's request? Do you really plan to support the hero in making a fourth captain? Although this captain may not be of any use..."

Gerald smiled: "I really intend to support him, Jamie."

Carragher was even more surprised: "Why?"

"Jamie, how long do you think you can play at Liverpool?" Gerrard asked.

Carragher thought for a moment and understood what Gerrard meant: "But I don't think a hero can stay in Liverpool for that long. Maybe he will have already transferred and left before I retired, just like... Torres did."

When Torres came to Liverpool, he scored frequently and created a series of brilliant records. His influence off the pitch is also growing, and he has even surpassed Reds captain Gerrard. In Liverpool's jersey sales in December 2007, the No. 9 jersey with Torres' name on it was the top-selling jersey. .

In his first season after moving to Liverpool, he scored 24 goals, trailing only Cristiano Ronaldo as the Premier League's silver boot scorer. He is also the first Liverpool player to score 20 league goals in a single season since Fowler in the 1995-1996 season. Just this season, he scored hat-tricks against Middlesbrough and West Ham United in the league respectively. He was the first player in the Red Army to perform consecutive hat-tricks at home in 60 years, and the last one to have such a great performance. This person is still Jackie Balmer in 1946.

Torres's performance at that time was so amazing that his teammates on the team were fascinated by it. The person who admires him the most is current vice-captain Carragher.

In his mind, Torres is the "Red Army version" of Rooney or Cristiano Ronaldo, who can bring the Red Army to the next level.

"I very much hope that Fernando can give us a different season, just like Rooney and Ronaldo did at Manchester United. He definitely has the ability. He is not only a great shooter for Liverpool, but the best in the league and even the world." He is one of the best shooters in the world. He can completely fill the void left by Irving. I really hope he doesn’t stop. I know some teams will say before the game: ‘I really don’t want to play against Torres’!”

He also believes Torres has the ability to outshine the Reds legend.

"It's a great deal for the club, to be playing for us at such a young age and on a six-year deal. We've had a long list of great strikers over the years and if he can keep up this pace he will definitely surpass them. of."

These are Carragher's own words.

This shows how much hope he had in Torres.

But as the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Because Torres always failed to win championships in Liverpool and could not even participate in the European competition, he resolutely chose to leave. After half a season, he finally successfully sold himself to Chelsea during the winter break.

This has always made Carragher brooding - he was so optimistic about him, but he just ran away...

So when Chen Yingxiong transferred to Liverpool, if you want to say who is the calmest in the team, it must be Jamie Carragher.

Of course he is also happy for Chen Yingxiong to join, but he is definitely not so happy that he forgets everything and thinks that Chen Yingxiong will become Liverpool's savior. When he first heard that Chen Yingxiong was going to join Liverpool, he felt as if he had been hit on the head by a pie falling from the sky. But later, the feeling gradually dissipated, and the initial excitement faded because he thought of Torres.

With Torres's experience, he always observes and treats Chen Yingxiong with a cautious eye.

He always wonders whether Chen Yingxiong will be like Torres, who performed well in his first season here and quickly became the idol of the fans, surpassing Gerrard in influence, but then failed after a few seasons because the club could not satisfy him. Because of his ambition, he resolutely abandoned the team and switched to another team?

At present, Chen Yingxiong's initial development trajectory is really very similar to Torres - he quickly gained everyone's hope within the team, and his performance is also outstanding, even better than Torres. Torres only scored eight goals in half a season after joining the team, while Chen Yingxi has already scored ten goals.

Relying on these outstanding performances, his status among fans is also getting higher and higher. According to the sales of jerseys in the last two months, according to the media, jerseys with Chen Yingxiong’s number and name have surpassed Gerrard and Suarez. Ranked first.

It's so similar, it's so similar...

And the more he looks like this, the deeper it will hurt the fans if he leaves Liverpool in the end. This is the same as Torres. When Torres left Liverpool with an action that could even be regarded as "escape", the angry Liverpool fans Burned their Torres jerseys to show their displeasure.

And Carragher suddenly felt how ridiculous the previous praise of Torres about "he will become Rooney and Ronaldo of Liverpool" and "he will surpass Liverpool's legend".

Gerrard smiled when Carragher mentioned Torres' name.

"Do you think the hero is the same as Torres?" he asked.

"Isn't it the same?" Carragher spread his hands.

"Of course it's different." Gerald smiled.

"They are both able to score goals, and they are both very famous. In less than a season after their transfer, their influence has already surpassed yours, Stephen." Carragher listed the similarities between the two people.

Gerald nodded every time he listed a similarity.

After Carragher finished speaking, he asked: "No more?"

Carragher nodded: "Isn't this enough? Do you have to wait for the hero to transfer and leave after three and a half seasons like Torres before you can say: 'Oh, they look the same...'?"

Gerald shook his head: "What you said is correct. They are all very powerful shooters. Their influence is very great and has surpassed mine. But these are just the surface, Jamie."

"Is there anything else inside?"

"Of course. What do you think Torres is like as a person? I mean his character."

"Kind? Friendly?" Carragher didn't understand what Gerrard meant.

Gerrard glanced at Carragher: "Don't you think his character is a bit...soft?"

When Gerrard said this, Carragher became even more confused: "I think Carragher's character is very soft, and sometimes he feels like a little girl. But what does this have to do with our topic? You can't do it because of others. You have a soft personality and act like a little girl, so you really treat her like a girl, right?"

Gerrard shook his head: "Didn't you ask what is the difference between the hero and Torres? The biggest difference between them is in character. Torres is soft in character. If he encounters difficulties, he can easily fall into the quagmire and be unable to extricate himself - he is now at Chelsea The problem comes from the cowardice of his character. He loses confidence too easily when he encounters problems. The hero is different. He becomes more courageous with every setback. Although he is overconfident and a little arrogant. Many people hate his arrogance. , but I think his excessive self-confidence is what our Liverpool lacks the most. Without a championship in five years, Liverpool really has no self-confidence anymore, Jamie. Look at the last few games, every What's the look on everyone's face when we're behind, when we're losing, or even just drawing?"

Carragher was stunned. As the vice-captain of the team, of course he paid great attention to the performance of the players. He had also noticed the problem Gerald mentioned, and everyone had a look of panic on their faces. It feels like they have already lost...

"Take the last game as an example. After Daniel scored an own goal, you must remember the expression on everyone's face. I knew it very well anyway. The TV broadcast of that game showed close-ups of many people. Everyone was scared and worried. , and even felt desperate. But there is one exception, he is a hero. He was shouting something to everyone at the time, but I was no longer on the court, so I couldn’t hear it. Do you know what he shouted at that time, Jamie? "

Carragher tried to recall: "He seemed to be shouting...'No big deal? Isn't it just a goal lost? Just score one and get it back'..."

As he spoke, he raised his head and found Gerald looking at him with a smile.

"He is not the captain, but isn't it the captain's duty to do this kind of thing?"

Carragher's face turned red. This was his dereliction of duty, because when he saw Agger score the football into his own goal, he instantly thought of his last-minute own goal in the last game, which cost the team. A draw turned into a defeat. This brought a certain degree of shadow to him, so when he saw Agger also scored an own goal, the panic deep in his heart quickly rose.

There was no time left to appease the already shaky military morale.

Unexpectedly, at this time, it was Chen Yingxiong who stood up and stopped everyone from thinking the worst...

"Do you still have any doubts about him being the fourth captain?" Gerrard asked.

Carragher frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head: "But I still think it is impossible for him to lead Liverpool to a revival... His future is particularly determined. He is not someone we trained, and he will not be good to this team." Pledge of allegiance..."

"We didn't train the 'King' ourselves." Gerald shrugged, looking nonchalant. "Whether a hero can become a hero or not is not something we have the final say on, that's up to him. But I want to give him a push... It's that simple. Do you want to help me, Jamie?"

Carragher was stunned for a moment, then shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly: "Can I still say I won't help, Stephen?"
