Green Life

"You'll never walk alone!", the slogan on Bill Shankly's gate.

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

Direct access to the Paisley gates of the Liverpool Museum.

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

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

The "Heysel tragedy" and "Hillsborough 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 team opened the road to revival, despite meeting their deadly rival Sir Alex Ferguson, despite The splendor of Arsenal was once popular in the Premier League, but Liverpool will always be that Liverpool, which represents passion, blood, loyalty, unity, and never say never!

This is the spiritual imprint forged by two generations of Liverpool people in 30 years!

This is the heroic dirge sung twice withered in glory! (Two tragedies in the 1980s ended Liverpool's more than two decades of glory, and the Hicks and Gillette scam in 2007 interrupted Liverpool's revival).

This is the inheritance written by the Liverpool people who have gone on and on throughout their careers!

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

Barnes and Ian Rush are on the verge of retirement; McManaman and Robbie Fowler are leaving; Irving will also lose his starlight next year; Gerrard will erect his banner in Liverpool for nearly ten years!

What is football? What is life?

Mark diligently followed the footsteps of his dreams, walked along the brick walls of Anfield, and stepped into this dream place for him to travel through time.

His life used to be mechanical and dull, and he used to fantasize about being as passionate and passionate as Liverpool...

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

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

Go fight like a warrior!

Not everyone can find a suitable position in society. Lu Xun used his pen, Sanmao used her love, and Jobs wrote his own life with his pursuit of perfection. How about you, Mark Qin? God gave you another chance, what did you use to write about your mediocre life?

Ma Keqin lingered at Shankly's gate for a long time without saying a word.

Peter was feeling on his nerves, because he felt a child stepping out of memories and stories here - but he was coming for the first time.

"Little guy, do you want to go and have a look inside? I know the staff here. Today your aunt and the others 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 happy." I like Liverpool, how about Everton? Do you want to visit too?", Peter walked behind Mark Qin and said.

Ma Keqin regained his composure and said, "Of course, I want to see the KOP Stand and the Centennial Stand, but unfortunately there is no game this week, and Everton is not interested~"

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

Ma Keqin thought in his heart that if there were no major accidents, the city would fall into complete madness in the year after next (2005).

But it has nothing to do with the golden boy Owen, the flag at that time was called Gerrard!

~~~~~

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

"Peter, you can't stay longer, no one else is allowed to enter during non-match hours," said a staff member wearing overalls and bearded next to him.

"Harry, don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you. This is my nephew, he is a diehard Liverpool fan. How about it, you are a great guy~" Peter smiled and punched Harry.

"Haha, welcome, boy, welcome to the great Liverpool family, every home week we have a party, your uncle has been married since, oh~, don't mention him, how do you want to join us?"

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

"Can I find a job here without going to school? For example, a caddy? It's easy to do things with acquaintances~", Mark Qin began to think carefully. As for playing football, Mark Qin did not dare to think about it due to inertia of thinking. That's it, let's do it again, the physical talent is on display, and he won't go to heaven.

So Ma Keqin tentatively said: "Hello, Uncle Harry, I like this place very much, and I also like football very much. I really want to join you. Gerrard is my favorite star. I especially want to watch him play football at close range. You guys Is this still recruiting caddy or something?"

"Ahem~~", Peter suddenly choked

"Oh~~, haha, interesting kid, Gerrard is our young captain, but most kids your age will like Owen, what a different kid, Gerrard is also a good guy, he is really Kids from Liverpool, I'm sure you'll see him soon, but most of the caddies are kids from Kobic, only a few of them have a chance or two through community service, I don't think it's easy~~", Harry said with a big laugh.

"Then do you still need turf maintainers?"

"Cough cough~", Peter coughed even worse, "I think we should go, I'll look for you next time, Harry", before Harry could answer, he dragged Mark Qin away in a hurry.

Harry shook his head and said with a smile, "What an interesting kid~"

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

Ma Keqin has been called a lot, so he recognized the English name, and gave himself an English surname--Hard (Hard), which together means Michael Hard or Mark Hard, which translates into Chinese as Ma Hacken, well, forgive the author for being lazy O__O "…

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

"Well, it's not far from my office, where can we go, get in the car, young man", Peter turned and opened the car door.

Ma Keqin turned around and glanced at the Anfield Stadium, thinking of changing, let's start now.

Peter's office is in a sporting goods store not far from Anfield. In addition to selling Liverpool and Everton peripherals, there are other sports items, such as golf, baseball, etc. It is a comprehensive sporting goods store, and Peter is this store supervisor.

Entering the store, walked to the office, asked Mark 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 have a good talk. Talk, as your uncle, I want to talk to you about your academic problems, do you accept it?"

"Hmm, Uncle Peter, please speak"

"You see, your aunt and I want you to go to school, not to work. Here, you must not go out to work. It is also good for you. You will be 13 years old now. In a few years you will Entering middle school, university, and looking for a job, we need to be responsible for your life, are you right?" Peter said seriously.

"I understand, Uncle Peter, I know you are doing my best, but, to be honest, it's hard for me to sit in class and play house with a bunch of little kids~"

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

"Yeah but I feel like I'm 23 and they're 3"

Peter clapped his hands and covered his face, "what the fuck...", muttering to himself.

After getting up and taking two steps, Peter looked helpless, "Michael, are you sure you are talking to me seriously?"

"Sure, sure, very sure," Ma Keqin also looked at Peter seriously and said. In this world, Ma Keqin is very grateful to this family. They prevented him from spending his childhood like a waif. Gave him a partner and family, although as a time traveler he would not have a headache for livelihood, but the feeling of being alone is always bad.

Peter looked at Mark Qin helplessly with his hips on his hips, thinking that my child must not do this, he had a terrible headache, finally 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 going to school, and even if they are engaged in these industries, they have to come back regularly to make up lessons, which is stipulated by the law of this country.”

Mark Qin continued to shrug his shoulders: "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, "Michael..., those need talent, the elimination rate is very high, you...", Peter was embarrassed to say that he didn't see that Mark Qin had this talent.

"How will you know if you don't try? Everyone needs to be responsible for their own life, right? How will you know that you can't do it if you don't try?" Ma Keqin doesn't want to continue circling in the dead end of going to school, so many projects, one One to try, it is estimated that it will be delayed until the age of 16, when you can make your own decision, Ma Keqin has to praise his wit!

"...OK, Michael, you make me helpless..." Peter sighed helplessly.

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

"...Well, maybe your aunt knows that I agree with you, so she won't give me food for a week." Peter rolled his eyes.

"Haha, don't worry, Uncle Peter, you will be proud of your wise decision in the future!"

Peter was speechless, and changed the topic: "OK, do you want to go somewhere else this afternoon, while you still have time?"

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

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

~~~~~

Peter and Mark Qin finally came to Kirkby. The Kirkby Youth Academy is located in the northeast of Anfield, while the famous Melwood training base is in the east of Anfield. The distance between the three is not close, which is also true. Later, Liverpool coach Klopp complained, so Liverpool started to rebuild Kirkby in 2017, putting the training ground and the youth academy together, but this is a later story.

Peter parked the car at the gate of Kirkby, and said to Mark Qin in the co-pilot: "Damn it, 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 acquaintances to give you a trial training opportunity, this is an agreement, OK?"

"OK", Mark Qin and Peter clapped their hands together. I thought, if football is not enough, there are basketball, tennis, golf, haha, then let him know what a brat is!

But Ma Keqin still has some confidence in being a junior team. After playing football for so many years, he has basic movements and awareness. Although he is not professional, he should still be able to gain a foothold in this age group. As for whether he can play in the future, tell you later.
