The first skill unlocked in Chapter 80 is...
“I’m a reporter for L’Equipe.
We have received a notification from the source that just now, Manchester United's sporting director Mutaf has offered contract terms to your agent for the third time, with a weekly salary of 70,000 pounds, which is significantly higher than the previous offer from Manchester City. This is unprecedented for a 16-year-old player.
They even considered asking Sir Alex Ferguson to personally lobby you to join Manchester United. What is your response to this? "
Chen Xiaoliang: "This has nothing to do with today's game. I am currently a player on loan from Tottenham to Rangers. I am only thinking about how to play well. The rest will be seen after the season ends."
L'Equipe reporter: "Tottenham chairman Levy has publicly stated in the media a few days ago that even if they win the next game, Mourinho may still be fired, and the club is evaluating the possible impact of the incident.
You have a good relationship with Mourinho, do you want him to stay?
This time, Gerrard could no longer sit idly by.
"This question has nothing to do with tonight's game and we will not answer it. As a person, I wish him good luck. "
Given that the number of questions from reporters had exceeded the minimum requirement, Gerrard took the initiative to end the press conference.
When the two men returned to the locker room, they found the door closed and there was complete silence inside.
Gerard looked back at Chen Xiaoliang, who shook his head.
Have they finished cleaning up? It can't be that fast...
"Why can't the door be opened? My hands are a little wet from sweat, you try it."
Gerard gripped the door handle a few times, turned around and said with a frown.
Chen Xiaoliang looked bewildered. He went over and grasped the handle and turned it. It opened...
"puff!"
"Fuck!"
"OHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
“Hahahahahaha!!!”
It was not until he heard Gerard behind him laughing with gloating that Chen Xiaoliang realized that he had been tricked.
As soon as he opened the door, some bastard threw a huge piece of cake directly on his face!!!
Obviously, this is a lack of martial ethics! Come prepared! Bullying a 16-year-old comrade!
But... it's quite sweet! It tastes good!
I just don’t know which guy obviously didn’t wash his hands, and he still smells like sweat!
"David! David! David! David!"
In the locker room, everyone was clapping and cheering!
It turns out that today not only Chen Xiaoliang, but Chairman Dave also remembered this loyal employee.
He has kept in mind those employees who were able to stay on with pay cuts after the club went bankrupt and was relegated.
In any case, Dave is a successful businessman. Although he is stingy, he definitely knows which money must be spent.
All the club's directors know that the biggest factor that can enable this 149-year-old club to be reborn is the spirit of perseverance.
As their team song goes, "No matter how wide or narrow the strait is, we will follow!"
After wiping the cake off his face, Chen Xiaoliang received an excited hug from David.
Then everyone sat down and McAllister asked David to stand in the middle of the group and say whatever he wanted.
David had tears in his eyes and opened and closed his mouth several times.
McGregor and Davis Sr. took the lead in applauding and cheering him, and some teammates shouted "COME ON".
He paused, wiped away his tears, and even though he was trembling with excitement, he still said what might have been the most affectionate words in his life.
"This is where I work, I've been at the club for twenty-seven years, more than half my life, older than my son is."
“But I never thought I would have the opportunity to watch a Rangers game from the box at Ibrox and then come here and speak to you big guys afterwards.”
"I love this place, this city, this club."
"Yes, that includes all of you."
"I've seen so many incredible players here in the past 27 years."
"Laudrup, Van Bronckhorst, Barry Ferguson, oh yeah, and that damn genius Gascoigne!"
"It's the people who have made Rangers a great team, generation after generation."
"Now, you guys in front of me are also a great team."
"No matter how long I live, I will support this club unconditionally for the rest of my life, not just as a staff member but as a die-hard fan."
"Look at all the fans out there, they are willing to give everything for the team to win!"
"After the game starts, from your first pass and first steal, listen carefully to the sounds in the stadium, everyone will be instantly ignited by you."
"When you score a goal, look at the faces of the fans and you'll see how much they love you!"
"So, please take every confrontation and every attack seriously."
"Then use your victory to tell them how much you love them, okay?"
"OK!!! OH!!! David! David! David!..."
Ever since becoming a player and since coming to Rangers, Chen Xiaoliang has often wondered what football really represents.
Looking at his teammates who were inspired by David's words and cheering in unison, he pondered this question again.
The 18-year-old Mbappe won the World Cup and emerged out of nowhere;
At the age of 22, Messi won six titles and his first Ballon d'Or;
At the age of 23, Vardy was still in the eighth tier, and the Premier League was simply an unimaginable dream for him;
The 35-year-old Gerrard left Liverpool, where he had played for 18 years, but failed to take away a league title;
The 40-year-old Ronaldinho was arrested and imprisoned, and received a unique Golden Prisoner Award...
Totti retired at the age of 41, missing out on countless honors for the only Rome in his life;
Buffon, 43, is full of honors, but he lacks a Champions League...
Some people become famous at a young age and reach the peak of their careers as soon as they debut;
Some people have been in the military for half their lives, and yet they cannot obtain what they want;
Some people become famous overnight, but fall quickly;
Some people lie dormant for half their lives, achieve success late in life, but eventually create their own legend.
Every player has his or her own playing career, just as every ordinary person has his or her own unique life.
No matter who you are, you can always find that player .
Then support him and accompany him unswervingly until you become a part of him and he becomes your faith.
Thinking of this, and then thinking of Red Country football... Chen Xiaoliang sighed...
When 15-year-old boys have received "special orders" before going on the field and are going to play a game that is not worthy of being called football, how can you expect them to have a sense of honor and fighting spirit, and how can they regard football as a belief?
Who still believes that football in this country still has a future?
On the way home, a satisfied David was very happy and chatted with Gerrard about his experience joining the club and his experiences with past players.
Gerrard listened with great interest, especially the bits and pieces about Gascoigne.
That's one of the six players he admires most.
Chen Xiaoliang was sitting in the back row and quietly opened the panel. Just as the game was over, the system prompt sounded, which meant that something special had happened.

This is a super powerful skill!
"Awesome!" Chen Xiaoliang couldn't help but shout.
David was so scared that the steering wheel in his hands trembled, and Gerard turned his head sharply to look at him.
Chen Xiaoliang quickly closed his eyes: "Pay attention to defense... Be careful... Be careful..."
"It's okay, it's okay. I was just talking in my sleep."
"This kid's mind is really full of football."
Gerard and David were more and more moved.
