Chapter 125 Selling Breasts
Liverpool beat Aston Villa 5-0 at home. This score made Liverpool hot again, and Gerrard's hat-trick also made him hot.

This big victory brought Liverpool back to the top of the list. At the same time, the Red Army's offensive firepower is also well-known in Europe, scoring a total of 14 goals in three consecutive games. The opponents are Real Madrid, Manchester United and Aston Villa. This is not a soft persimmon.

As for Gerrard, the British media are already advocating that Gerrard should have a lot of potential in this year's World Footballer of the Year selection.

If Liverpool really win the Premier League and Champions League double, then Gerrard is really likely to compete for this honor.

Currently in the UEFA Champions League scorer list, Gerrard and Bayern's Klose are tied for the top scorer list with 7 goals, behind Messi with 6 goals.As long as Liverpool win the Champions League and Gerrard wins the Champions League Golden Boot, then the World Footballer will definitely be stable.

In the past two years, the World Footballer and the Ballon d'Or were awarded to the stars who won the Champions League and the top scorer in the Champions League. Kaka in 07 and Ronaldo in 08 were like this.

Liu Ting has only scored 3 goals in the Champions League so far. He only participated in 3 games in the group stage, scored 2 goals in 2 games against Atletico Madrid, and scored 1 goal against Real Madrid in the knockout round of the top 3. All [-] goals were scored by the Madrid team.

Although Liu Ting only scored 3 goals, he is also the second most scored player in the Champions League for Liverpool.

Liverpool is in great shape, and the entire Champions League is paying attention.After the last few games, Liverpool already has the shadow of the strongest team in Europe. The godfather of Barcelona Cruyff said: "Liverpool is the most terrible team in Europe now."

Liverpool's recovery, the first to feel the pressure is Manchester United, which competed with Liverpool in the Premier League standings. Now many media newspapers and even celebrities have come forward to claim that Manchester United is likely to be reversed. Liverpool has great hopes of winning the championship this season.

At this time, Ferguson couldn't sit still. He stood up and said in the newspaper: "In 1996, we lost 0:5 away to Newcastle United, and we were 10 points behind in the standings.

"Now we are only one point behind Liverpool and there is still a game to play. There is no doubt that Manchester United will win the supplementary match. At that time, we can go back to the top of the table. At that time, we will not give Liverpool any chance."

Ferguson's words were just the beginning, and then he asked Manchester United to apply to the FA for the postponement of the next round. This request was quickly rejected. Ferguson immediately scolded, claiming that someone was targeting Manchester United.In short, Ferguson spouted wildly, but he did not scold the FA by name, and he will not be suspended for this.

In fact, the FA cares most about Manchester United. Manchester United is always more or less taken care of in terms of the schedule. Wenger has criticized this matter more than once. How could the FA target Manchester United?
Everyone knows that Manchester United's request for a postponement is just unreasonable. At present, the four giants of the Premier League, except for Liverpool's FA Cup exit, only have two-line battles. The other three giants Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal are all three-line battles in the league, Champions League, and FA Cup. No other team has said postponement. Why should Manchester United postpone it?

Why did Ferguson make such unreasonable troubles? He was actually trying to attract firepower and divert the media’s attention to himself. He stopped hyping how good Liverpool was and how precarious Manchester United was. This would reduce the psychological pressure on the Manchester United players, and the pressure on the players would be much less.

Liverpool is in good form recently. Now that the score has overtaken Manchester United, the Manchester United team must feel a lot of pressure. Even Manchester United's loss to Fulham just now may not be due to Liverpool's pursuit of too much pressure.

Following the postponement of the game, Ferguson came out to claim that the red card Rooney received in Manchester United's game against Fulham was a wrong penalty, and he wanted to apply for Rooney to cancel the red card.In the second half of that game, Rooney turned from two yellows to one red and went off. Originally, this kind of red card only required a one-match suspension, but Rooney was obviously unconvinced and rushed over to point at the referee and curse at the referee. This is likely to be an additional suspension.

But when Ferguson came out and made such a fuss, the referee on duty quickly stood up and said that Rooney did not insult him at that time, but just communicated normally.

Liar?No insults?At that time, Rooney pointed at the referee with one finger, wished to eat the referee with anger on his face, and kept spouting unknown words, did he insult the referee?
But the referee himself said that he had not been insulted, so the FA went along with the flow and only suspended Rooney for one game normally.

Manchester United's influence in the Premier League is so great!
Ferguson has rich experience and can always stand up in time to relieve the pressure on the players and help them quickly come out of the shadow of the two-game losing streak.

When a person has been doing the same thing in the same place for more than 20 years, he does have incomparably rich experience and skilled means to deal with various situations.

Premier League teams have chest ads, and Liverpool's current chest ads are sponsored by Carlsberg beer.

It has been 1992 years since Carlsberg sponsored Liverpool's chest advertisement in 17, which is the longest chest advertisement in the history of the Premier League.

However, as the sales of Carlsberg beer decreased and the market share was occupied by German beer, they could no longer afford high advertising fees. At the end of this season, the era of Carlsberg sponsoring chest advertisements will come to an end, and there will be no more Carlsberg jerseys printed on the chest. The news has spread that Liverpool's jersey sales have increased significantly in recent months.

The jersey printed with Carlsberg is the best-looking jersey in the eyes of Liverpool fans. Many Liverpool fans bought one and kept it at home.

At the same time, the Liverpool Club is also negotiating with several companies about chest advertisements. As soon as Liverpool's chest advertisements are available, many merchants want to provide sponsorship, and they are currently negotiating.

With Liverpool's influence in Asia, there are many Asian companies interested in buying Liverpool's chest advertisement.

Liu Ting met Xu Zhengxin in the office, and Liu Ting asked directly, "Uncle Xu, what can you do with me?"

Xu Zhengxin said: "Now the advertisements on our team's chest are mainly purchased by these companies, the British local company Standard Chartered Bank, Japan's Yokohama Tire, Qatar Airways from Qatar, and China's EVOC Group."

Liu Ting did not expect so many Asian companies to be interested in Liverpool's chest advertisement, and what the hell is China's EVOC Group?Why haven't you heard of it at all?Those who want to buy chest ads must be big companies and groups, but this Chinese company has no impression.

Liu Ting asked, "What does China's EVOC Group do?"

Xu Zhengxin said: "The special computer is researched and produced." Seeing Liu Ting still looked puzzled, Xu Zhengxin continued: "The special computer is the computer used in special circumstances, such as the joint use of military equipment and computers, industrial equipment and medical equipment combined with computers. We often see such as ATM machines in banks, machines for B-ultrasound in hospitals, etc. These are all special computers."

"EVOC Group is the largest special computer R&D and production group in China, but the products they produce are not known to ordinary people as their brand, so the group is not well-known."

Liu Ting said: "Uncle Xu, you can handle it as you see fit. My grandfather asked you to manage the club, and I believe you can handle it well."

Xu Zhengxin also shook his head and said, "Okay, I'm also not sure about paying attention for the time being, and I'm asking if you have any intentions."

With Liu Ting gone, Xu Zhengxin will continue to negotiate with several companies.

Liverpool deserves to be rivals with Manchester United. Even the chest advertising sponsorship is being negotiated at the same time. EVOC Group and Standard Chartered Bank, which are negotiating with Liverpool, are also in contact with Manchester United at the same time.

Manchester United's chest ad actually hasn't expired yet, but they bankrupted their sponsors.The company has gone bankrupt, and naturally it will be impossible to renew the contract in the future, so Manchester United began to look for the next home in advance.

In fact, Liverpool started looking for advertising sponsors last year, but now the negotiations are almost done. Only these last few companies are left to choose who to sign with. Liu Ting also probably knows that Qatar Airways and Yokohama Tire seem to have higher bids, while China's EVOC Group and British Standard Chartered Bank have slightly lower bids.

Liverpool's opponent in the next round is the farmer Fulham, who just defeated Manchester United. It happened that Manchester United also exchanged opponents with Liverpool. Manchester United will play Aston Villa in the next round.

The two teams exchanged opponents. I don't know what the result will be, but Liverpool's players should be easier to play, because the opponent is Fulham, who has no desires.

Although Manchester United's opponent Villa just lost to Liverpool and their morale was hit, they urgently need points to compete with Arsenal for the Champions League qualification. The loss to Liverpool has made Villa 3 points behind Arsenal. In the next round, Arsenal will play Manchester City. Manchester City beat Arsenal 3-0 in the first half of the season. Arsenal may also lose this game. Naturally, Villa will fight Manchester United for 3 points.

But these are all two weeks later, at least Liu Ting can rest now, and other players will go to participate in the national team competition.

Liu Ting met Lena Gerke, whom he hadn't seen for a long time at John Lennon Airport, and he came to the UK recently when he was free.

There must be a lot of reporters at the airport, Liu Ting took Gerke and hurried to escape, it would be difficult to beat them if they were surrounded by reporters.

Although Liu Ting was not blocked by reporters at the airport, there were still a lot of news about him and Gerke in the tabloids the next day.

Some time ago when he broke up with Seydoux, he was hyped by the media. Liu Ting listened to Wagner's opinion and treated him coldly. Later, as the league progressed, the news in this area became much smaller, and now there is a tendency to make a comeback.

But, who cares, what players want is their performance on the court. If you don't perform well on the court, you will be a good man of the century and no one will ignore you.

When Liu Ting stayed with Gerke to relax, Liverpool's chest advertisement was also finalized, and finally sold to Qatar Airways for 4 million pounds in 1 years, an average of 2500 million pounds per year.

This is currently the most expensive chest advertisement in the Premier League, and it is also the most expensive chest sold in Europe, surpassing Manchester United's previous £2000 million a year.This is mainly due to Liverpool's recent excellent results and the fact that the Qataris are rich, so they sold at such an expensive price.

At present, major European media comment that the strongest teams in Europe are Barcelona and Liverpool, and the defending Champions League champion Manchester United has also been squeezed to third.

In fact, Manchester United will sign a new chest advertisement next year, and the price is likely to exceed that of Liverpool. The Premier League is the most influential league in the world, and it is inevitable that the price of chest advertisements will rise every year.Even now, just talking about chest advertisements, the four giants of the Premier League are more expensive than Real Madrid and Bayern most of the time. Barcelona is still in the era of no breasts, and there are no chest advertisements.
