Henderson asked quickly: "What are the conditions?"

Edwards said, "It's like this, because you were recommended to Liverpool by Gu Ran. Gu Ran asked you to be loaned to Southampton in the first season after your transfer to Liverpool and play in the Europa League with Gu Ran. After one season, you can officially return to Liverpool."

Henderson immediately said: "Of course there is no problem with this! With such a high weekly salary, and being able to fight side by side with Gu Ran and play in the Europa League, I am very willing!"

You know, Sunderland, where Henderson is, has the best result of ranking 9th in the Premier League in recent years. It was still struggling in the Championship in the past few years. To gain experience in a Championship team in the first year after transferring to a top club is not a problem at all for Henderson, whose starting point is not high to begin with, not to mention that he can even play in the Europa League!

If he stays at Sunderland, Henderson will have no chance to play in the Europa League.

Edwards on the other end of the phone smiled and said, "Very good, then it's settled! I'll have someone come up with the details of the transfer and loan as soon as possible. After the season is over, we Liverpool will discuss the transfer with you Sunderland - but for now, you still have to keep it secret."

Henderson immediately said, "Of course! Thank you, Mr. Edwards!"

Edwards smiled and said, "You're welcome. If you want to thank someone, thank Gu Ran."

After hanging up the phone, Henderson clenched his fists excitedly, and the depression of yesterday's loss was immediately swept away!

I can transfer to Liverpool now! I can be loaned to Gu Ran and play football with him!

I can fight alongside Gu Ran in the Europa League!

That afternoon, Linda called Gu Ran and told him that Henderson was willing to transfer and be loaned.

Gu Ran didn't expect Liverpool to be so efficient.

With Henderson next season, Southampton's midfield will be even stronger. If they strengthen the back line, they will be able to play in the Europa League.

After making an appointment with Linda to have dinner at her home in London before the end of the month, Gu Ran hung up the phone and continued to practice.

On Wednesday, March 16, the 35th round of the English League One resumed with Southampton hosting Carlisle United.

Almost all of Southampton's main players were rested, and this was another matchup with almost an entire substitute lineup.

In the end, Southampton defeated the away team Carlisle United 2:1 with an assist and a goal from Ward-Prowse.

This game also provided great experience for Southampton's substitute players.

The substitute lineup's record is no longer a complete loss.

On the afternoon of Saturday, March 19, in the 36th round of the English League One, Southampton's away challenge to Brighton began.

In this game, Southampton sent out a half-main lineup with Gu Ran as captain.

Gu Ran and Walton Prowse played very smoothly in their first collaboration.

In the end, Southampton won the game 4:2.

Immediately afterwards, on Wednesday, March 23, in the 37th round of the English League One, Southampton faced Charlton at home.

Gu Ran continued to start and led the other half of the team's main players into the game.

Charlton was brutally beaten for 70 minutes until Gu Ran was replaced by Adkins, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After the game, Coach Adkins put Gu Ran on the rest list for the next game.

This means that Gu Ran’s competitions for this month have all ended, and he can now have a good rest and prepare for next month’s competitions.

Rick, the personal affairs assistant, sent me the schedule for April:

The first game will be at 3pm on Sunday, March 4th, in the final of the English Championship Pioneer Cup Winners' Cup. Southampton will face Huddersfield Town as the home team at the neutral Wembley Stadium.

The second game will be at 7:45 pm on Wednesday, April 6th, in the 39th round of the English League One, where Southampton will challenge Oldham away.

The third game will be at 3 pm on Saturday, April 9th, in the 40th round of the English League One, where Southampton will challenge Hartlip away.

The fourth game will be at 3 pm on Wednesday, April 13, in the 41st round of the English League One, Southampton will face Leyton Orient at home.

The fifth game will be held at 4 pm on Sunday, April 17th, in the FA Cup quarter-finals. Southampton will challenge Liverpool as a visiting team at the neutral Wembley Stadium!

The sixth game, at 7:45 pm on Wednesday, April 20, in the 42nd round of the English League One, Southampton will face Bristol Rovers at home.

The seventh game, at 3 pm on Monday, April 25, in the 43rd round of the English League One, Southampton will face Yeovil Town at home.

The eighth game, at 3 pm on Saturday, April 30, in the 44th round of the English League One, Southampton will face Dagenham at home.

In addition, there are two League One games left, which will be played in May.

After entering May, apart from two League One games, there is only one FA Cup final left, and all the official games of this season have been completed.

There are still a lot of matches throughout April, but the ones that are really important are the British Championship final and the FA Cup semi-finals.

The final of the British Championship was against Huddersfield Town, another English League One team, and there was almost no suspense in this game.

The FA Cup semi-final against Liverpool is the top priority.

Liverpool is in poor form this season. The previous head coach Hodgson has been sacked. Liverpool temporarily brought in King Kenny Dalglish to coach. Under Dalglish's command, Liverpool has rediscovered the feeling of the Iron Red Army and won three consecutive games in the Premier League, but they fell too far behind, so near the end of the season, Liverpool is still struggling around sixth place.

Therefore, Liverpool will definitely go all out in the FA Cup semi-finals. Only by winning the FA Cup can they give an explanation to the fans this season.

Southampton will naturally not miss the opportunity to win the FA Cup again after 35 years.

On the weekend of March 26th, there were no events, so Gu Ran drove to Linda's home in London.

Linda's mansion is located in the villa area in the wealthy area of ​​Fulham, and the environment is very good.

When Gu Ran drove up, Linda, wearing a red dress, ran out of the French courtyard happily and hugged Gu Ran warmly, "Oh! Gu! I finally saw you!"

Gu Ran quickly said politely: "Good afternoon, Linda, where is your husband?"
