In our eyes, it is synonymous with auspiciousness. When the number appears, it is defined as guarding the midfield. Compared with No.7, it has no gorgeous appearance, but it is steady and full of domineering, which is even more different from No.9' s murderous look. The edge of the restricted area is its territory, sometimes it bombards the door from a distance, and sometimes it is like a ghost wandering in front of the door, which invisibly sends a fatal blow. It is the initiator of the attack and the first barrier when retreating. In the movie Transformers, which is popular all over the world, the autobots and crazy autobots, as well as the super robots in it, are all invincible because of the magic cube called the energy body. On the football field, each team also has its own energy body, which provides a continuous source of attack for the team and also guards the open space in the middle of the stadium. They are the leaders of the football field and they are a legend wearing the No.8 jersey.

He is the spiritual leader and eternal captain of the Red Army, and it is he who has injected the belief of never giving up into the Red Army. Although the Red Army will not appear in this season's Champions League final at the new Wembley, Gerrard, as the captain of the Red Army, has already written a legend belonging to the Red Army in the Champions League, belonging to the legend of the Red Army No.8. The night in Istanbul cannot be reproduced, and the name Steven Gerrard, the No.8 of the Red Army, will always be associated with that magical night.

at the age of 9, Steven Gerrard joined the Liverpool youth training camp and grew rapidly there. The 17-year-old, full of dreams, finally signed a contract with the club, which has not changed. At the age of 23, Steven Gerrard began to be the captain of the Red Army. Today, after ten years of storms, Steven Gerrard still wears the captain's armband and the red Liverpool No.8 jersey. Even though Owen, who grew up with him, chose to leave, even though Alonso left the Bernabeu side by side for many years, the captain of the Red Army wearing the No.8 jersey still ran on the lawn of Anfield and thanked the fans in the kop stands after the game.

Every time the captain of the Red Army drives to Anfield, he always slows down when he passes through the gate of Shankly, and his eyes always rest gently on the monument of Hillsborough massacre, where the names of 96 fans who fell from the stand of Laiping Lane are engraved. The 1-year-old Paul is the youngest in the tragedy, a fan who lost his life to follow his beloved team, and a name that the Red Army No.8 can't forget. It is precisely because of my cousin's departure that the captain of the Red Army loves the Red Army more and is more determined to lead the Red Army to success. "You will never walk alone" on the gate of Shankly next to the monument, like the kop stand, witnessed the captain of the Red Army leading Liverpool to lift the trophy again and again.

On December 8th, 24, Anfield witnessed the first magical reversal of the Red Army captain's team. Steven Gerrard hit a heavy gun 25 yards away from the goal before halftime, which opened the door for the Red Army to Istanbul, and the Red Army No.8 became the savior of the team. This belief of never giving up may be born to Gerald. On a winter afternoon in 1991, 11-year-old Steven Gerrard's southwest school team competed with his old rival for the Liverpool Inter-school Cup. In the first half, Steven Gerrard's school team had fallen behind by three goals, and everyone no longer had hope. But in the second half, an 11-year-old boy scored three goals in a row, leading the team to win 4-3. Fourteen years later, the boy appeared on the final stage in Istanbul, and his name resounded throughout Liverpool and even every corner of the world overnight. He was No.8 of the Red Army, Steven Gerrard. Steven Gerrard, who took the captain's armband to the Istanbul final stage, didn't expect that the 45 minutes in the first half was a nightmare for the Red Army. Fifteen minutes later, the Red Army No.8 who returned to the stadium again opened his eyes to the Red Army fans who had already started praying. Steven Gerrard scored in the 54th minute, which awakened the sleeping fighting spirit of the Red Army soldiers. When the referee from Spain blew the whistle, the score card suddenly read 3:3. In the end, the Milanese couldn't stop Liverpool, led by Red Army No.8, from climbing to the top of Europe at night in Istanbul. From that moment on, Red Army No.8 made the song "You will never walk alone" sing again, once again making all Liverpool people really feel that you will never walk alone!

When times have changed, things have changed. The red No.8 is still waiting at Anfield, waiting in the kop stands, waiting beside Liverpool, which he loves all his life.
