i am a football star

Chapter 102
Liu Ting knows the difference between playing for a wealthy team and an ordinary team.

He played in Bordeaux last year and thought his performance was much better than Manchester United's Anderson. However, the mass media believed that he and Anderson were evenly matched opponents for the Golden Boy Award. Now that he has been in Liverpool for half a year, he immediately got rid of Anderson and won with a huge advantage.

Liu Ting's birthday is on December 12th, but there will be a game on the 25th. Liu Ting had to advance his birthday and invite his teammates to play at home and exchange feelings by the way.

Léa Seydoux has been busy making movies recently and has no time to come, so Liu Ting invited Lena Gerke to be her female companion.

Due to the tight schedule recently, everyone did not drink, but played poker games together.

The winter break of other European leagues is coming, but the Premier League is coming with a dense schedule. Liverpool will have games on the 26th, 28th, and 3rd of next month. This is still in the case of being eliminated from the League Cup. If the League Cup is not eliminated, it will be more intensive.

Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas is injured and will be absent for at least 2 months, but Wenger has focused his attention on Harvey Alonso, preparing for the upcoming winter transfer period offer.

Wenger thought it was during the Benitez period that Alonso and Benitez had conflicts and were sold off?When Benitez was there, Arsenal bought Alonso for 1400 million pounds. At that time, Benitez asked for 1700 million pounds. Wenger thought it was too expensive and gave up.

Only Liu Ting knows how miserable Liverpool is without Alonso. The midfield organization ability has been greatly reduced, and the poor record has not squeezed into the top four every year.

This also reminded Liu Ting that Alonso is not valued so much in the team now. Real Madrid’s Florentino will be restored soon, and then he will come to seduce Alonso. Liverpool must make Alonso feel valued.

Now that Benitez has been driven away, Liu Ting believes that Alonso will stay.

So recently the Liverpool club notified Alonso's agent to renew his contract and raise his salary. At present, the highest salary in the team is Gerrard's weekly salary of 12 pounds, followed by Torres' 11 pounds, Liu Ting and Alonso's weekly salary of 8 pounds.

Liu Ting and Xu Zhengxin negotiated to increase Alonso's weekly salary to 10 pounds, which is already a very high weekly salary in the current Premier League.

On December 12, the 26th round of the Premier League is coming, and Liverpool will host Bolton at home.

Before the game, Frankie, the editor of "Turin Sports News", presented Liu Ting with the 08 European Golden Boy Award, which actually looked like a football.

Liu Ting brought the trophy to the stadium to show to the fans, which immediately drew cheers from the audience.

"Golden boy...golden boy..."

"Golden Boy!!!"

Amidst the cheers, Liu Ting blew a few kisses to the fans and went back to the locker room to prepare for the next game.

"Liu, bring it here and let me have a look!"

"Is this the trophy for the Golden Boy Award?"

"Looks like a football with a base."

"Is it gold? It seems to be copper."

Everyone happily circulated in the locker room, and the atmosphere was quite good.

Heynckes on the side watched, knowing in his heart that this match could be easily won.

In this game, Heynckes was still in the 433 formation. Mascherano, who had flu in the last round of midfield, was still sitting on the bench to rest, and Modric was replaced as the starter. Facing a team like Bolton, they were still at home, and they could easily win with a looser defense.

"Liu's breakthrough!!! Diagonal pass into the restricted area!!!"

In the 21st minute, Liu Ting broke through the opponent's midfielder McCann from the left and passed a 45-degree diagonal pass to the penalty area. Modric stepped in and kicked the ball into the goal.

"Modric, this Croatian kid didn't have many opportunities to perform after he came to Liverpool, but he always seized the opportunity to perform every time."

Now Liverpool's midfielders Gerrard, Xavi Alonso and Mascherano are all at their peak, and Modric can only play as a substitute, but he often has a good performance.

The ball was Liu Ting's assist, and the audience was shouting "Golden Boy...Golden Boy!!!"

Today, Liverpool fans recognized this slogan and ignored Modric who scored the goal.

"Liu!! He rushed in!!"

In the 34th minute, Liu Ting made a through ball from Alonso in the street in front of the penalty area. He dunked over Kevin Nolan and went straight into the penalty area. Facing Gary Cahill, he stepped on a bicycle and opened his position to hit the goal directly.

"Jaskerlainen...Dreiter!!"

This kick was saved by Bolton goalkeeper Jascolainen bravely. At this time, coolie striker Dirk Dirk's running seized the opportunity and immediately rushed forward to tackle the ball into the goal.

Dirk was cheering and celebrating, but Liu Ting shook his head helplessly. He had won the Golden Boy Award before the game, and he felt that he was in a good state. He wanted to score a goal but this happened. The shot just now was already good, but he was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper. Instead, he made Dirk.

Sometimes the more you want a goal, the more luck is against you.

Liverpool returned to the locker room with a score of 2:0, and the fans at Anfield were celebrating Christmas. Today's Anfield belongs to Christmas songs, and "You'll Never Walk Alone" also has to avoid the edge.

At the beginning of the second half, Liverpool continued to attack.

"Kean...a good shot!!"

In the 59th minute, Liu Ting made a bottom pass from the left, and Robbie Keane made a diving dive and headed the ball into the opponent's goal, scoring a rare goal.

The British commentator said: "This is Keane's third goal for Liverpool. What a poor boy. He has no luck at all. Since joining Liverpool, his performance is really not worthy of his worth. Just Christmas, Keane was on the list of this year's parallel imports selected by the European media."

Robbie Keane is ranked third on the list of parallel imports. The first and second places are occupied by Inter Milan. Mourinho, who just moved to Inter Milan this year, spent 3 million euros to buy two strikers. In the past six months, they only scored 4000 goal, which is worse than Robbie Keane.

This goal killed the game, Heynckes started to make substitutions, and Liu Ting was the first to be replaced. Eunuch Hai was really afraid that Liu Ting would get injured accidentally, so he had to rest more in the recent schedule.

In the 64th minute, with a dead ball, Heynckes replaced Liu Ting with Zheng Zhi, which can be regarded as completing the task assigned by the club and giving Zheng Zhi some opportunities to play.

Liu Ting, who wanted to score a goal to celebrate the Golden Boy Award, still failed to do so, but it is not bad to receive two assists.

This score was also maintained until the end, Liverpool beat Bolton 3:0 at home.

At the end of the game, Anfield was shouting: "Liverpool!! League One!! Champions!!!"

This is the last game of the first half of the Premier League schedule. The winning Liverpool won the Premier League half-time championship, which Benitez never did. The last time Liverpool won the half-time championship was in the 96/97 season. After a full 12 years, even Liverpool fans can still look forward to the Premier League championship at the end of the season. Liverpool has not won the top league championship for 19 years.

He won the semi-championship in his first season at Liverpool, and remained unbeaten during the half-time. Heynckes' coaching has been recognized. Now Liverpool fans have begun to forget Benitez. Football is like this. If the latecomers perform well, the former heroes will gradually be forgotten.

At the end of the 19th round, both Manchester United and Chelsea won, but Arsenal lost the chain and drew with Villa 2:2 away.

英超半程结束，利物浦以19轮12胜7平43分获得半程冠军，身后是12胜5平41分的切尔西，曼联少赛两轮10胜5平35分排在第3，第4是和曼联同35分的阿斯顿维拉，阿森纳连续两轮平局以32分掉到第5。

In fact, judging from this standings, Liverpool does not have much advantage. It is only 2 points ahead of second place Chelsea, and Manchester United has two rounds less. As long as they win the make-up match, they will catch up with Chelsea.

However, it is always something to be happy to win the half-time championship, and the media have reported it one after another.

"After 19 years of waiting, Liverpool is finally expected to win the championship! "

"Half-time championship and remain unbeaten, Liverpool's sword refers to Arsenal's unbeaten title victory? "

Report after report came out one after another. Those who praised Liverpool, those who praised Heynckes, those who praised Gerrard, and those who praised Liu Ting appeared on the stage.

But Manchester United is sure to come out and sing a different tune, this is a must.

Ferguson first came out and said to the media: "We are actually only 2 points away from them, and there are still 19 league rounds. The distance between them and the championship is simply farther than Europe to Asia."

Manchester United's mouthpiece reporter Mike Keegan wrote in the "Daily Mail": "From historical data, it may be difficult for Liverpool to win the championship. In the history of England's top league, only 109 of the 49 championships produced were half-time champions in the current season. The proportion is only 41.28%. If only the last 20 seasons are counted, this proportion will drop to a little more than 30%.

"In other words, most of the half-time champions failed to win the league championship. Liverpool's last half-time championship was in the 96/97 season. At the end of the season, Liverpool was only ranked fourth in the Premier League, and the championship was snatched away by Manchester United. Over Newcastle United by 4 points. In the 95/96 season, Manchester United was also the half-time champion, once leading the Gunners by 12 points, but in the end Wenger led Arsenal to comeback and snatch the Premier League title. In the 70/4 season, Arsenal was the half-time champion, leading Manchester United by 97 points, but at the end of the season, the Red Devils led the Gunners by 98 points. "

"Although Liverpool is the half-time champion, it is only 2 points ahead of Chelsea and Manchester United. It is still early to say the championship."
