Chapter 339: Gerald's decision

Liverpool lost the derby, which made Lee Chenglong's double scored data seem a bit hollow.
　　 But after the game, Jackie Lee was still the star that received the most attention.
　　 The first time I participated in the Red Derby, I was able to score twice. This performance is really good.
　　 So, Jackie Lee also attended the post-match press conference with Rogers and Gerrard.
　　 "If you lose the game, it doesn't make much sense to talk about personal performance."
　　 "But to be fair, we are the side that performed better in this game. Even if we can't win the game, we shouldn't lose."
　　 This is Lee Chenglong’s evaluation of his first red derby.
　　 Although it sounds like an excuse, Liverpool did perform better.
　　 First of all, one of Manchester United's goals was an offside goal, there is no doubt.
　　 And based on the whole game, Liverpool also performed better.
　　 Liverpool dominates in possession rate. On both sides of the shots, Liverpool is twice that of Manchester United.
　　 In the number of shots, Liverpool shot 11 times, but was saved 9 times by De Gea Shengsheng, which is nothing short of a pervert.
　　 And Manchester United scored 3 in 6 shots. This is a normal conversion rate.
　　 Jackie Lee thought he would be the protagonist at the press conference, but Gerrard quickly robbed him of the limelight.
　　 "I have decided to officially retire after the end of the season."
　　 Gerrard’s sudden words directly exploded among the reporters.
　　 Although Gerrard has indeed made frequent turnovers in the past two seasons, he has not yet talked about the time when he could not play.
　　 He suddenly announced his retirement at the end of the season, which really scared everyone.
　　In an instant, the reporters flashed their flashes at Gerrard, and Lee Chenglong didn't leave him alone.
　　 "Steven, did you announce your retirement because of that mistake today?"
　　 "There are certain reasons, but mainly I feel that it's time to rest."
　　……
　　 Gerrard became the target of the reporters vying to interview. Lee Chenglong thought that there was nothing wrong with him, but he did not expect that they mentioned himself again soon.
　　 "Steven, who do you think will be the most suitable next Liverpool captain after you retire?"
　　 "The captain should be decided by the club, but I recommend Bruce, he is completely suitable."
　　 I didn't expect Gerrard to directly recommend Jackie Lee as the next captain. This is another topic full of news.
　　 You must know that Lee Chenglong is only one month away from reaching 22 years old, which is a relatively young age in football.
　　 Although there have been many young captains in Europe, as a competitive top team, a young captain is still very popular.
　　 Among the younger captains that appeared in Europe, Torres became the captain of Atletico at the age of 19, Fabregas became the captain of Arsenal at the age of 21, and Totti became the captain of Rome at the age of 22.
　　 There is also the current French defender Nicolas Nicolas in the Liverpool team. He became the captain of Paris Saint-Germain at the age of 17.
　　 Now, Liverpool is also likely to have a young captain.
　　※※※
　　 The 16th round of the Premier League double red club is a lot to see. There are personal performances of stars, mistakes, and lore. In addition, after the game, Gerrard announced that he will retire. All these made the English media quite happy.
　　 However, for Liverpool, after losing this double red club, the team's league ranking once again fell.
　　 In other matches in the 16th round, Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal, Tottenham and others all won.
　　 In the latest Premier League standings, Liverpool fell to 7th place with 7 wins, 4 draws, 5 losses and 25 points. It is 13 points away from the top Chelsea, which is a huge point difference.
　　 Fortunately, Liverpool is only 3 points away from West Ham United, who is fourth. I believe they will soon find a chance to catch up.
Up to now, the two dark horse teams of West Ham United and Southampton continue to be ranked within the European war zone. They are fourth and fifth respectively, ranking higher than Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham. , This can be considered relatively unpopular.
After Lee Chenglong scored twice in this round of the Double Red Club, he once again topped the scorer list with 15 goals, Aguero ranked second with 14 goals, and Diego Costa made a comeback this round. After scoring a goal, he ranked third with 12 goals.
　　 Although the Champions League and the league have been difficult to play, Lee Chenglong's goal has not fallen.
　　※※※
　　 Gerrard announced that he would retire. Lee Chenglong was still very concerned about his recommendation to be captain.
　　 If you can really become the captain of Liverpool, it is definitely very good. In other words, he is also a giant captain.
　　 Therefore, Jackie Lee specifically notified Barnett and asked him to come over and communicate with the Liverpool club. It would be better to confirm the captain's affairs.
　　 Lee Chenglong believes that with his current performance, there shouldn't be much problem in winning this captain position.
　　, on the day of the quarter-finals of the League Cup in midweek, Liverpool went away to challenge Bournemouth.
　　 The League Cup has reached the quarter-finals, and Rogers has no plan to give up the game, and arranges most of the main players to play.
　　 Although it is an away game, Bournemouth, as a British championship team, is indeed difficult to resist Liverpool's offensive.
At Bournemouth’s lively stadium, Lee Chenglong helped Liverpool open the scoring ~EbookFREE.me~ and then Sterling was alive again. After completing a scored twice, he assisted Markovic who came off the bench. The icing on the cake.
　　 In the end, Liverpool defeated Bournemouth 4-1 away and successfully advanced to the semi-finals of the League Cup this season.
　　 The only four teams left in the League Cup are Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham and Sheffield United.
　　 Sheffield United is just a British championship team, basically it is to play soy sauce, mainly watching the other three teams compete for the championship.
　　 But as far as the current semi-finals are concerned, the other three teams should all hope to be drawn to Sheffield United in the semifinals, which can make the semi-finals a lot easier.
　　 Soon, the results of the draw on the FA side came out, Liverpool vs. Chelsea, Tottenham vs. Sheffield United.
　　 The soft persimmon was picked up by Tottenham, and they are almost going to the final.
　　 Liverpool against Chelsea, this will be another strong match, and the semi-finals of the League Cup will be a two-round home and away system, and the two teams will have to fight head-on.
　　 But it has reached the semi-final stage, Liverpool will not give up, and Rogers will not give up.
　　 It's been more than two seasons since being in charge of Liverpool. Rogers has never led a team to win any championships. This is an opportunity.
　　Actually, this year's League Cup is Rogers' first time leading Liverpool to the semi-finals of the Cup.
　　 Now that he has the opportunity, Rogers will of course make an impact into the finals, even the championship.
