"Hepia wants to step down as captain!" said Yang Cheng.

"What?" Paul = Baier was surprised. This is not a trivial matter for any team.

Captain, how could the person who led the locker room be casual?

"Anyway, please inform them to have a meeting and I'll think about it!" After saying that, Yang Cheng hung up the phone.

He sighed and walked forward slowly, his mind flying.

Some people like to be captains because they think that being captains can command teammates, which is awesome, and being captains of a wealthy team represents a glory, and being the captain of a powerful team represents a sign of identity. The words they say are also very substantial.

But some people don’t like being a captain because they feel that the captain wears an armband but is equivalent to taking on a heavy responsibility, because from then on, you are no longer yourself, you also represent a team and the teammates behind you.

But on the other hand, he had to admit that with Hypia's personality, he might be more than enough to be a captain in other leagues, but in the Premier League, his captain will be overshadowed in front of captains such as Keane, Vieira.

In this Premier League football world that emphasizes bloodiness, tooth for tooth, and eye for eye, evil guys like Keane and Vieira are more suitable to be the captain of a team.

I didn't see that when Vieira was there, Arsenal was the team that bullied the most, known as the red card team. However, after Vieira, Arsenal completely became a soft persimmon, allowing people to knead, broken legs, etc. If Vieira was there, can you imagine? Do they dare?

From this point of view, Hypia is indeed not an excellent captain, at least he doesn't look fierce enough.

On the contrary, Gerald is very brave and has a personality in this regard. He is a typical English tough guy. If he is the captain, at least he can guarantee that Liverpool will not suffer when encountering teams such as Keane, Vieira.

But what will other players think? Can they accept it?

After all, Gerald is only 24 years old and is indeed a little young as the captain of a championship team.

At 44:30 pm, there is still an hour before the evening training class.

The players who received the news gathered in the conference room of the training building, and they were all discussing what happened suddenly, why did Yang Cheng suddenly have to hold a meeting?

"Is it because of the Chelsea game?" Gerald was a little puzzled, "Do you know Sammy?"

Hepia guessed it in her heart, but she didn't say it.

As time came, Yang Cheng took the coaching staff into the conference room and locked the door specially.

Everyone suddenly calmed down, looking at Yang Cheng standing in front, waiting for him to speak.

"Today, Sammy came to me and told me that I hope to step down as captain of the team!" Yang Cheng said lightly.

For a moment, everyone in the conference room was noisy and looked at Hapiya one by one.

The Finnish felt the inquiring eyes of his teammates around him and nodded.

"Why, Sammy?" Jaydd was the first to stand up, "Why not do it well?"

"That's right, why didn't you do it all the time?" the teammates were asking.

It can be seen that he has a good reputation in the team.

Hypia stood up and smiled bitterly, "I am very proud to be the captain of Liverpool, but I think my personality is not suitable for such a role. I hope to devote myself more wholeheartedly to the game without being distracted."

"If you have to make a choice between the performance of the court and the captain's armband, I chose the former!"

Many players present were a little moved. After all, being the captain of a team, especially the captain of a giant team like Liverpool, is extremely honorable. I haven't seen so many top teams fighting for a captain's armband.

But Hypia gave up on her own, and her mind was really admirable.

In contrast, many players will ask themselves in their hearts, if it were me, could they put themselves in their shoes?

"I accept Sammy's request, but it's impossible for a team to have no captain in a game, so I hope, we can be here today, pick a captain, and vote in the most democratic way, secretly."

Yang Cheng's words moved the Liverpool first-team players present, which was equivalent to handing over the captain's candidates into their hands and letting them choose their own leaders.

As Yang Cheng spoke, Paul Bayer, not far away, immediately sent a note to each player one by one, and then asked them to write down their names on the note that they thought were the most suitable team captain, and everyone wrote them.

The players all wrote their own words, and no one would peek at who the other party had written because it was unnecessary.

Everyone was considering and weighing the pros and cons. After writing, they folded it up and handed it to Paul Bayer's hands, and gathered into a bunch in front of Yang Cheng.

Every player is paying attention to the stack of votes in front of Yang Cheng, and there is a name in it. Since Paul Baier deliberately disrupted it before, no one knows who chose whom.

When Yang Cheng saw everyone tense, he laughed, "Don't be nervous, guys, it's impossible for all of you to be this captain. We only have one captain!"

The players all laughed immediately, and the somewhat nervous campaign atmosphere was much weakened.

In fact, the players are always together day and night, and they are very familiar with each other. Who is more likely to become the captain and who has no hope at all? This is an obvious matter. In fact, there are only one or two players who can serve as captains. What else can there be suspense?

"We are starting to check the votes now. In short, no matter what the result is, I will respect your choices. The one with the most votes is our new captain!" Yang Cheng said.

Although he likes Gerald, if the players don’t accept him, in order to avoid messy clothes in the locker room, Yang Cheng will choose to respect the players. Of course, it’s better for Gerald to be elected. This will be perfect, right?
