Chapter 293 Little Liverpool fans

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells.

Liverpool, like London, is full of Christmas bells everywhere.

What's interesting is that although these businesses play music and erect Santa Claus, they basically don't open their doors, after all, it's a holiday.

Therefore, British people who want to buy something on this day, or want to go to a certain restaurant to eat will choose Chinatown, a place where Chinese people gather.

Because Christmas is not a holiday for Chinese people, and Chinese people are open for business even if they celebrate the holiday.

Over time, it has become a habit of the British to eat Chinese food at Christmas.

Of course, only London, Manchester and Liverpool have Chinatowns in the UK.

Liverpool's Chinatown is very lively, and the merchants are also playing jingle bells to cater to the festival.There are even some stores that display the Chinese version in order to highlight their own "characteristics".

Anyway, it is music with the same rhythm and tune, foreigners can still enjoy listening to it.

Chinatown is not like other places in Liverpool. The roads here are crowded with people. It seems that people from all over Liverpool come here for the festival.

According to Alex's request, Gerald bought a kilogram of candy and walked down the fruit stand.

At this moment, a black and white football flew over from the open space beside the road.Gerrard stepped back subconsciously, and landed the ball firmly on his instep.

"Hey! Help kick the ball back. Oh, sweetie! Steven? Is that you Steven?"

"Come on, it's Steven, it's Steven!"

"Everyone come here!"

When the children playing football in the open space heard the word "Steven", they ran over like a swarm.

Gerald counted, there must be eleven or twelve.

These children are about ten years old, the younger ones are eight or nine years old, and the older ones are no more than eleven or twelve years old.

Most of the children had Asian faces, and Gerald was not sure that they were all Chinese.The rest are African and Latino children. After all, Chinatown is the most inclusive place in the UK. The Chinese here never know what discrimination is.

"Steven, are you here to teach us how to play football?" The child who ran up to Gerrard first looked a little older and the tallest.

"Little guy, what's your name?" Gerald bent down and smiled.

"My name is Jackie Lee!" The leading child introduced himself, "Bruce Lee's Lee, Jackie Chen's Jackie Chan!"

"Oh! That's an amazing name!" Gerrard patted Lee on the shoulder and kicked the ball back to him.

Looking at the young players who were almost all around, Gerrard asked with a smile: "Are you all Liverpool fans?"

"Of course!" Li Chenglong exclaimed triumphantly, "In Chinatown, there are only Liverpool fans!"

"Well, it seems to be Tom's credit!" Gerrard said to himself.

With the help of Tang Wu's relationship, people in Chinatown who didn't watch football also joined Liverpool.There are even some Everton fans who have switched camps. After all, Li Tie doesn't see him play a few times throughout the year.

In this way, fans from other countries must either make a choice to "stand in line", or they can only secretly support Everton in their own homes.

"Did Tang Wu not come?" Li Chenglong asked curiously.

To this group of Chinese children, Tang Wu felt an indescribable intimacy.

"Sorry, I just came here to buy some fruit for my girlfriend, and Tom didn't come with me." Gerrard apologized.

"Ah! So that's the case, well, I see!" The children looked disappointed.

For some reason, seeing the disappointed expressions of these children, Gerald actually felt guilty.

These children don't seem to come from wealthy families, their little faces are covered with snot and they don't cry, and they don't have side training clothes.Some even wore a pair of cloth shoes, which looked extremely thin.

But even in the coldest winter, these children can't stop their love of football.

Just as Gerald was feeling emotional, the last child also limped out of the circle.

"Brother Long, is Tang Wu here?" Before the little player arrived, the voice came first.

Gerrard and Tang Wu have been in contact for half a year, and he can still understand this simple Chinese sentence.

The last kid who came running was a little thin and short.But the other children subconsciously made way for him and let him get to the front row.

"Xiaoyu, Tang Wu didn't come." Li Chenglong regretted.

When he walked in, Gerald was surprised to find that the kid who ran last was not only wearing a pair of woolen gloves, but also had a simple leg brace installed on his right leg, which was similar to what Forrest Gump wore when he was a child. .

"Are you the goalkeeper?" Gerrard asked curiously.

"No, I'm a defender!" Jiang Xiaoyu pursed his nose and replied proudly, "The Chinese team has Tang Wu, we don't need a new goalkeeper!"

"Then your leg." Gerald hesitated.

"Uh, that's it, it's okay!" Jiang Xiaoyu didn't care, "Mom, I just need to wear it when I was a child, and I can take it off when I grow up. And the doctor also told me to exercise more, so I can run!"

Gerrard nodded, he also knew something about this kind of leg brace.These are usually used to correct the spine when the child is young and can be removed when the child grows up.In the movie, Forrest Gump runs with the support of his girlfriend.

"Steven, when I grow up in the future, I must also join Liverpool and become the main force of Liverpool!" Just when Gerrard was in a daze, Jiang Xiaoyu shouted again.

"Yes, me too, me too!"

"I want to be a striker like Baros!"

"I want to be a midfielder like Alonso!"

"I want to be a midfielder like Steven!"

"I want to be a defender like Hyypia!"

"I want to be a goalkeeper like Tom!"

"Cut! You don't even have six fingers, how can you become a goalkeeper like Tom!" The last child was despised by the group.

"You all want to be a Liverpool player?" Gerrard asked in surprise.

"Yes, yes!" the children yelled, "My childhood dream was to join Liverpool and help Liverpool win the championship!"

"Me too, not only the Premier League title, but also the Champions League title!"

Looking at the group of passionate children in front of him, Gerald was in a daze, as if thinking of something.Then he quickly withdrew his mind and asked with a smile, "But now Liverpool is ranked sixth in the league, and the name is very bad."

"So what? The league is only half over!" Li Chenglong replied immediately, "In the second half of the league, Liverpool will definitely reach the top and win the championship!"

"You are so confident?"

"Of course!" Jackie Lee replied without hesitation, "Liverpool has Steven, you, Baros, Harvey, and Tom!"

"I heard that we will buy a strong striker this winter. With so many great players, why can't Liverpool win the championship?"

The children discussed each other with each other, nothing more than using their existing understanding to guess the ownership of the second half of the Liverpool league.

But this does not prevent them from loving Liverpool deeply, nor does it prevent them from admiring Liverpool's stars.

These children who grew up in Liverpool, no matter where they originally came from, no matter where their ancestry came from, at this moment, they all have a common name-Liverpool!

Looking at these young players who are full of hope for Liverpool tomorrow, Gerrard's eyes suddenly lit up, and he leaned down and asked: "Tomorrow's game against West Brom, can I invite you to watch the game?"

Hearing Gerald's invitation, children, look at me and look at you, and fell silent for an instant.

After a while, Li Chenglong stood up and said: "We usually only watch Liverpool's games on TV, and we have never even been in Anfield, let alone go to the Hawthorn Stadium to watch the game."

"It's okay, I'll pay for your travel expenses and tickets, how about it?"

"What? Steven, is what you said true?"

"Of course it is!" replied Gerald, laughing.

"Wow! That's great! Long live Steven, long live Steven!"

In just a split second, these young players burst into shouts that resounded throughout the world.

Gerald took the opportunity to squat in front of Jiang Xiaoyu, and said softly, "Xiaoyu, can I ask you to be my caddy?"

"Yeah!" The child with the leg brace sniffed and nodded excitedly.
