Green Life

Chapter 7: Anfield

   "You'll never walkalone!", the sign on Bill Shankly's door.

   Hillsborough Victims Memorial, April 15, 1989, 96 undead.

   Go straight to the Paisley gate of the Liverpool Museum.

   There is also the famous "ThisisAnfield! (Here is Anfield-Bill Shankly.

In the 1960s and 1970s, Bill Shankly led Liverpool to the rise of the second division. Paisley and his successors made Liverpool reach glory in the 1980s. In this period, you will see those famous celebrities on the court. Grace, Keane, Dalglish, Ian Rush... It was their generation that created the current Liverpool, the European Red Devils that once frightened Europe.

The “Heysel tragedy” and the “Hillsburg tragedy” caused the former European Red Devils to sink for a while, but after the establishment of the Premier League in 1992, the former Liverpool opened the road to revival, despite encountering their deadly rival Sir Alex Ferguson. Arsenal's splendor was once popular in the Premier League, but Liverpool will always be the only Liverpool. It represents passion, passion, loyalty, unity, and never give up!

   This is the spiritual brand created by two generations of Liverpool people over 30 years!

   This is a hero's elegy sung twice in the glory! (Two tragedies in the 1980s ended Liverpool’s two decades of glory, and the Hicks and Gillette scam interrupted Liverpool’s revival in 2007).

   This is the inheritance written by the Liverpool people throughout their lives!

   Barnes, Ian Rush, McManaman, Robbie Fowler, Michael Owen, Gerrard!

  Barnes and Ian Rush are on the verge of retiring; McManaman and Robbie Fowler are away; Irving will also fade away next year; Gerrard will erect his banner in Liverpool for nearly a decade!

  What is football? What is life?

   Mark Qin traced his dream, along the brick wall of Anfield, and stepped into this place where he wanted to travel through time.

  His life was mechanically plain and boring. He used to fantasize about being as passionate and passionate as Liverpool...

Every individual has something to struggle for, calligraphy, painting, architecture, work, business, love... If it entrusts all of your enthusiasm for life, although it may be worthless in the eyes of others, it will eventually Bloom the light of life for you!

   Coming to this land, Maqin finally realized why he loves Liverpool, because it entrusted him with a passion for life that he could not radiate.

   Fight like a warrior!

   Not everyone can find a suitable place for him in society. Lu Xun used his pen, Sanmao used her love, and Jobs wrote his life with his pursuit of perfection. What about you, Makqin? God has given you another chance, what do you use to write your original mediocre life?

   Mark Qin hovered at Shankly's gate without a word for a long time.

   Peter is feeling nervous, because he feels a child walks out of memories and stories here-but he is here for the first time.

"Little guy, do you want to take a look inside? I know the staff here. Today your aunt went to school, so we have a lot of time to take a look. Although I don’t know why, I can see that you are very Like Liverpool, how about Everton? Would you like to see it too?" Peter said, walking behind Maqin.

   Mark Qin returned to his mind and said: "Of course, I want to see the KOP stand and the Centennial stand. Unfortunately, there is no competition this week, and Everton is not interested~"

   Peter shrugged, "Your luck is not very good, Liverpool will play away this week, otherwise you can see Owen, the golden boy of all England, our native Liverpool," Peter is very proud.

   Mark Qin thought in his heart that if there were no major accidents, the city would fall into complete madness the next year (2005), but it didn’t matter what happened to the golden boy Irving, the banner at that time was called Gerald!

  ~~~~~

The majesty of a stadium can only be felt when you are in it. Although Anfield has only a capacity of more than 40,000 people, the red and green all over the field are still shocking. The KOP stands and the century-old stands are like Two guards guarding Liverpool.

   "Peter, you guys can't stay longer, this is not allowed in non-matching hours," said a staff member next to him in overalls and a beard.

   "Harry, don't worry, it won't be difficult for you. This is my nephew, a diehard Liverpool loyal, how about it, great guy~", Peter smiled and punched Harry and said.

   "Haha, welcome, kid, welcome to join the great Liverpool family, we have a party every home week, your uncle has been married since, oh~, forget him, how about it, do you want to join us?"

   "Hi, Harry~" Peter was a little embarrassed to be revealed.

"Can I find a job here without having to go to school? For example, a caddie? It’s easy to have acquaintances~" Mark Qin moved to think carefully. As for playing football, Mark Qin didn’t dare to think about it because of his inertia of thinking. That's the case, do it all over again, the physical talent is on display, and it won't go to heaven.

So Maqin tentatively said: "Hello, Uncle Harry, I like this place very much, and I like football very much. I really want to join you. Gerrard is my favorite star. I especially want to watch him play up close. Does this hire a caddy or something?"

   "Ahem~~" Peter suddenly choked

"Oh~~, haha, funny kid, Gerrard is our young captain, but most kids your age will like Owen. It’s a different kid. Gerrard is also a good guy, he’s a real Liverpool’s children, I believe you will see him soon, but most of the caddies are children from Kobik, and only a few have one or two opportunities through community service. I don’t think this is easy~~", Harry Said with a big laugh.

   "Then do you still need a turf maintainer?"

   "Cough cough~" Peter coughed even harder, "I think we should go now, next time I'm looking for you, Harry", he hurried away without waiting for Harry to answer.

   Harry shook his head and smiled: "What a funny kid~"

  Walking out of the court, Peter looked at Mark Qin seriously and said: "Hi, Michael, I think we need to talk"

Mark Qin was called too many times, so he recognized the English name, and gave himself an English surname-Hard (Hard), connected to it is Michael Harder or Mark Harder, translated into Chinese is Ma Hacken, well, forgive the author’s laziness O__O"...

  Makqin knew that Peter had seen through the trick, shrugged and said, "Okay, Uncle Peter"

   "Well, this is not far from my office, where can we go, get in the car, lad", Peter turned and pulled the car door.

   Mark Qin turned around and glanced at Anfield Stadium, thinking about changing, let's start now.

Peter's office is in a sports shop not far from Anfield. In addition to the surrounding areas of Liverpool and Everton, it also sells other sports, such as golf and baseball. It is a comprehensive sports shop. Peter is this one. Supervisor of the shop.

Entered the store, walked to the office, asked Mark Qin to sit down, poured him a glass of water, Peter pulled out the seat behind the desk, sat opposite him, and said seriously: "Michael, I think we need to talk Tan, as your uncle, I want to talk to you about your academic issues, do you accept it?"

   "Hmm, Uncle Peter, please speak"

"Look, your aunt and I want you to go to school, not to work. Here, you can never go out to work. This is good for you. You will be 13 years old now, and you will be Entering middle school, university, facing job hunting, we need to be responsible for your life, are you right?” Peter said seriously.

   "I understand, Uncle Peter, I know you are good for me, but to be honest, it is difficult for me to sit in class and play with a bunch of little kids~"

   "What? Michael, you are only 13 years old, not 23, they are the same age as you"

   "Yes, but I think I am 23, and they are only 3 years old"

   Peter clapped his hands and covered his face, "whatthefuck...", muttering in his heart.

   got up and turned for two steps, Peter looked helpless, "Michael, are you sure you are talking to me seriously?"

"Yes, sure, very sure," Maqin also looked at Peter seriously and said. In this world, Maakqin is very grateful to this family. They avoided him from spending this unnecessary childhood like a wandering child. It was given to his partners and family. Although he would not have a headache for livelihood as a traverser, he always felt lonely.

Peter looked at Maqin helplessly with his arms akimbo for a long time, thinking that my child should never be like this. His headache died. At last he sighed helplessly and said, "Michael, I respect your idea very much, although it is a bit unrealistic, but Now at your age, except for those who are engaged in singing, modeling, and sports, they are basically in school, and even if they are engaged in these industries, they have to come back to make up lessons regularly. This is stipulated by the law of this country."

   Makeqin continued to shrug: "Then I will learn to sing, model, or some sports, as long as I don’t have to go to school."

   "Uh~~", Peter almost didn't come up in a breath, "Michael... those who need talent, the elimination rate is very high, you..." Peter was embarrassed to say that he didn't see that Maqin had such talent.

"How do you know if you don't try, everyone needs to be responsible for your own life, don't you? How can you know if you don't work if you don't try?" Maqin didn't want to continue to circle the dead end of school, so many projects, one One try it, it is estimated that it will be 16 years old, then you can make your own decision, Maqin had to praise his wit!

   "...OK, Michael, you have left me with no choice..." Peter sighed helplessly.

   "Don't worry, Uncle Peter, I know you and my aunt are doing it for my own good. I know what I'm doing and I won't let you down," Mark Qin promised with a firm face.

   "...Well, maybe your aunt knows that I agree with you and will not give me food for a week." Peter rolled his eyes.

   "Haha, rest assured, Uncle Peter, you will be proud of your wise decision in the future!"

   Peter was speechless, and turned away from the subject: "OK, where do you want to go in the afternoon, while there is still time"

   "Of course, Kirkby, now that we have chosen, let's start this afternoon!"

   "Oh~~NO~~, your aunt will kill me..."

  ~~~~~

Peter and Mark Qin finally came to Kirkby. Kirkby Youth Academy is located in the northeast of Anfield, and the famous Melwood Training Base is in the east of Anfield. The distance between the three is not close. After being complained by Liverpool’s coach Klopp, Liverpool rebuilt Kirkby in 2017 and put the training ground and the youth academy together, but this is a story.

Peter parked the car at Kirkby’s door and said to Mark Qin on the co-pilot: "Damn, I really sent you here, but you have to promise me, if not, you have to go back to school honestly. , This time I will try my best to find an acquaintance to give you a chance to train. This is an agreement, OK?

   "OK", Mark Qin and Peter slapped their hands. I thought, football is not good, but also basketball, tennis, golf, haha, let him know what a bear kid is at that time!

But Makqin is still a little sure about mixing a young echelon. After playing for so many years, he has basic movements and consciousness. Although he is not professional, he should still be able to gain a foothold at this age. As for those who cannot play in the future, talk about it later.
