Until the end of the first half, Liverpool did not score again and regained the lead. In fact, there was not much time left for Liverpool to score goals.

After they restarted the ball, the first half was quickly over.

In the dressing room, everyone noticed that Carragher's mood was not very high.

Strictly speaking, the loss of the ball in the first half was indeed Carragher's problem. He slipped while defending Hulk, first lost his center of gravity, and then was knocked away by Hulk. So Carragher believed that his mistake caused the team to lose the ball.

Seeing the deputy captain blame himself so much, everyone felt uncomfortable.

In fact, Carragher has performed very well since replacing Agger. The team had a winning streak and lost the ball very well. Although Carragher is older and not as good as before in all aspects of his body, but relying on his experience, he has helped the team many times, and his experience is reflected in the command and defense line, and the role is even more obvious.

One mistake can not obliterate Carragher's attack on the team.

Now we should find a way to comfort Carragher.

But the deputy captain's performance in the locker room has always been very strong. Everyone was afraid of comforting him, but instead incurred his dissatisfaction... After all, this was a slap in the face of the deputy captain in front of everyone.

Gerrard was not afraid of Carragher's strength, but he considered Carragher's face. He knew that Carragher was a face-conscious person. If he comforted Carragher in front of everyone, wouldn't he admit that Carragher's performance was problematic? Where does this put Carragher's face?

Only one person did not consider that much.

Chen Yingxiong was the last to enter the locker room. Although the team was evened, he still hugged his mentor Ed Wo Carter at the end of the first half. This has nothing to do with the competition between the two teams. Thank you teacher. Because before the start of the game, Chen Yingxiong did not go to hug Ed Wo Carter, so now make up.

So he was the last one to enter the locker room.

When he entered the locker room, he keenly felt the weird atmosphere, but his reaction was fast enough... Without even going to see Carragher, he turned around and hummed loudly at the door: "That Hu Erke, dare to call it the'Hulk,? If you don't click one, you will be in danger! How could he succeed if the team lieutenant slipped in front of him?!"

Seeing him like that, it seems to be the same as someone outside.

Suarez is also a clever person.

Seeing that as soon as Chen Yingxiong entered the door, he suddenly turned to Hulk and Carragher, and immediately understood what Chen Yingxiong was going to do.

He immediately closed his mouth: "Who isn't it? Just that body.................. If the team vice does not slip, he will wait to hit the wall!"

Chen Yingxiong turned his head... and looked at Suarez with joy: "Ah! Heroes see the same thing! In the second half, let them see what the real giant is!"

Carragher couldn't help but want to laugh when he heard the two men performing the same performance here.

Of course he knows what these two people are doing. In fact, he also knows everyone's feelings. It’s just that I get used to being strong in the locker room, and it’s hard to change that mentality at once...

He is no longer a strong central defender, and his right to speak in the locker room is slowly losing.

Retire!

This thought suddenly came to his mind, and once it came out...he seemed to be possessed...it couldn't get rid of it anymore, just thinking about retiring, he should retire.

The reason is also very simple. He is a very strong player. His image is the same as his playing style. He has a brave style and is very active in fighting and intercepting. Therefore, he especially cannot tolerate the frequent occurrence of this mistaken scene in this game in subsequent games!

However, he thanked Chen Yingxiong and Suarez for their kindness.

He raised his head and waved at Chen Yingxiong: "Okay, stop acting, you two. I know that's my problem... For whatever reason, it's actually that I was before the opponent got the football. I slipped first. There is nothing wrong with it. Even if he doesn't hit me... I will slip myself... It's normal, I'm old..."

He is a little helpless, no one can hear the unwillingness in his heart.

On the night when Liverpool miraculously won the Champions League in Istanbul, Carragher's performance ensured that the team could drag the game into a penalty shootout and defeat the mentally collapsed Italian giants in the penalty shootout.

That is the masterpiece of his incomparably powerful spiritual power and the style of a strong hero.

In the second half of overtime, AC Milan's Serginho crossed the goal to create a murderous opportunity. Carragher struggled to make a tackle to break the baseline, and then... his leg cramped and fell to the ground in pain. A minute later... Carragher dragged his injured leg and shoveled in front of the goal again to clear the siege. Before that, he had already resolved the attacks of Shevchenko and Kaka...

From 0:3 to 33 to win the Champions League, this final is a classic between Carragher and Liverpool. The British media commented after the game: What can make the result of the game go beyond the level of strength and technique and tactics? The answer can only be mental strength. In Carragher, people saw this power.

The tough guy Carragher had his leg tackled by Blackburn's Neil at the end of the year. At that time, everyone knew that he had to rest for at least eight months, but it only took him four months to return to the ball. If it weren't for the super strong will, how could he complete such a miraculous comeback?

Such a strong and unyielding player always has an unquestionable tone when giving orders in the locker room. I really think his words are commands, just like imperial edicts. Some people hate his attitude and call him "Ballmaster", but this is actually a manifestation of his personal character, which is the same as his playing style on the court.

It is such a player who is as hard as granite, and now he has said "I am old". The helplessness in his tone is really sad.

Gerrard heard a faint smell in his tone.

"Jamie..."

He was interrupted by Carragher: "Just now, I have made a decision. I decided to retire at the end of this season."

He spoke in a very plain tone that shocked everyone.

Martin O'Neill was pushing the door of the locker room, and he heard Carragher's voice as soon as he opened a slit.

"...I decided to retire at the end of this game."

He froze for a moment, but did not step in at this step.

"Crazy, Jamie!" Gerrard exclaimed.

"This..................what's going on?" Chen Yingxiong was also surprised.

"I'm not crazy, Stephen. I seriously considered...I should retire. I'm thirty-six years old. This is an age suitable for retirement, Stephen." Carragher's voice sounded absolutely absolute.

"Don't think about it, this is just a defensive mistake, as for?" Gerrard retorted.

"Yes, yes, vice team. And it's just a draw. There are forty-five minutes left. We can still overtake them in the second half... It's not a big deal. You don't have to worry about losing a ball... What? When I make mistakes...Who in this room hasn't made mistakes? People, right?!" Chen Yingxiong looked around the locker room to everyone.

Everyone stood up and expressed their support for Chen Yingxiong's point of view.

"Yes, team mate. We all made mistakes..."

"I have scored own goals before, it's really no big deal..."

"What is an own goal? I almost shoveled myself!"

"That's just almost, I made a lot of mistakes............"

"Hey... it's nothing. I used to run with the ball all the way when I was in the youth team... I passed the game and shot the football into my goal! The coach was going crazy on the sidelines at the time! I didn't even know about me. What happened back then..."

All of a sudden, everyone in the locker room became short of self-aspiration and self-criticism of self-exposure to their own ugliness. The self-criticism of being so scrambled against teammates would not hesitate to blacken themselves, but also to persuade himself to withdraw the decision to retire. Although Carragher's face was smiling, his eyes were in his eyes. But it was full of tears.

He got up from his seat.

Seeing the deputy captain get up, everyone gradually calmed down.

"I thank you. I understand everyone’s intentions... But this is not just a mistake, it is a signal. It reminds me that I should retire... My body is no longer enough to support this kind of high-intensity confrontation for a season. Somewhat powerless. I played a lot of games during this time...I haven't done this for two seasons. To be honest, I was very dissatisfied with the boss placing me on the bench at the beginning.................. "

※※※

Hearing this sentence, Martin. O'Neal didn't even dare to speak out. He felt that the people in the room hadn't noticed himself as the head coach hiding outside the locker room.

He was not surprised to hear Carragher do this. Although Carragher never showed it to him, he knew and was convinced that Carragher was dissatisfied. From a team's deputy captain and main force to a substitute sitting on the bench, no one will feel comfortable.

Just listen to Carragher to continue.

"But now I know, my body is indeed not suitable for a whole season of confrontation..."

※※※

"But there was only one turnover. In so many games we have played... the performance has always been very good, and we have not lost..." Gerrard persuaded.

Carragher nodded: "That's right... Stephen, but I can't tolerate the frequent occurrence of such mistakes in my future games... And this is almost inevitable, because I'm old."

"Delicious is not old yet, Jamie!" Gerrard increased his volume.

Carragher looked at Gerrard, who was a little jerky, and suddenly smiled.

"Actually, my heart is getting old too, Stephen."

ps, the 237th chapter I found yesterday cannot turn the page. Although it was reported to the starting point technical department in the morning, it has not been repaired. Maybe it is because of Sunday?

Today, I don’t know if the problem has been solved. When you read this text, I should shrink in the underground parking of the hospital and use the laptop code word............! .
