Chapter 154 Poor Japanese Woman
The European transfer market is buzzing, and the time will soon come to August.

Liu Ting continued to stay in Hong Kong for two weeks. During this period, he also went to the TV station to receive two interviews, and then went to Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau to escape the summer heat.

Liverpool's transfers are also continuing. First, Abeloa returned to Real Madrid. Liverpool introduced England's main right-back Glenn Johnson from Pompeii.

The transfer fee for Liverpool's introduction of Glenn Johnson was 1750 million pounds, but since Portsmouth did not settle the balance when Liverpool handed Crouch to Portsmouth last summer, part of the transfer fee was used as repayment of Crouch's transfer debt.

The Pompeii won the FA Cup in the 07/08 season, so they bought Crouch in the summer of 08 and planned to do a big job. As a result, Portsmouth failed to qualify for the UEFA Europa League group stage last season, and they barely relegated in the league. Instead, Portsmouth owed a lot of debt. Glenn Johnson was very happy to join the Champions League champions.

In addition to introducing Glenn Johnson to replace Arbeloa who left, Liverpool also negotiated the transfer of Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez from Ajax in the Eredivisie. Suarez will transfer to Liverpool next summer, and Liverpool will pay Ajax a transfer fee of 2500 million euros.

Liu Ting returned to Hong Kong on August 8, and then flew to Singapore to join the team. It was time for Liverpool's Asian tour.

The first stop of Liverpool's Asian tour is Singapore. Liu Ting and Zheng Zhi went directly to Singapore to join the team.

Leaving Singapore Changi International Airport, the Liverpool team had not yet arrived. Liu Ting and Zheng Zhi first went to the VIP area of ​​the airport and waited for the team to arrive. According to the time agreed in advance, Liverpool would arrive in half an hour.

As soon as Liu Ting and Zheng Zhi sat down in the VIP area, someone came over and said in poor English: "Liu Sang, Zheng Sang, it's nice to see you here."

As soon as Liu Ting heard this accent, he knew that he was Japanese. Liverpool's influence in Asia was gradually expanding. Liu Ting would occasionally meet Japanese people looking for his autograph. Liu Ting thought it was another Japanese fan, but when he looked back, it was not the case.

Standing next to him was a guy with freckles on his face. He was about 1.7 meters tall. If you look carefully, this is Shinji Kagawa.

Zheng Zhi next to him didn't know who this guy was, but Liu Ting had already greeted him: "Hi, Xiangchuan, nice to meet you."

"Liu Sang, I didn't expect you to know me. It's really an honor." Xiangchuan, who hadn't played football in Europe yet, was a little green, holding Liu Ting's hand felt a bit like a fan meeting a star.

"Uh, I've seen your photo. From now on, we are all teammates and need to take care of each other." Liu Ting found an excuse to round up the words, and then introduced in Chinese to Zheng Zhi next to him: "This is the Japanese player we introduced last summer, Shinji Kagawa."

After Xiangchuan and Zheng Zhi met, the three sat down and chatted together.

Like a Liu Ting fan, Xiangchuan kept asking Liu Ting questions, but left Zheng Zhi a little cold. Fortunately, Zheng Zhi was a marginal person most of the time in the team, and he was used to this situation.

Kagawa Shinji asked: "Liu Sang, have you ever been to Japan? What impression do you have of Japan?"

Liu Ting pondered for a moment and said, "I've never been to Japan. My impression of Japan is that I know a Japanese woman. Her fate is really miserable."

Both of them looked at Liu Ting strangely, not knowing who Liu Ting was referring to. Liu Ting continued: "This Japanese woman is really pitiful. When she was studying, she was bullied by teachers and classmates. When she grew up, she was also bullied by her boss and colleagues in the company. When she became a tutor, she was bullied by her own students. Sometimes she was bullied by people she didn't know when she took the bus."

The two were even more puzzled, would there be such a person?
Liu Ting finally said: "Her name is Hatano-Yui."

Kagawa Shinji's face turned red and he didn't know how to explain to Liu Ting. Zheng Zhi laughed and let Kagawa know that Liu Ting was joking on purpose.

This cold joke made the three of them familiar, and soon the Liverpool team's flight also arrived, and the three of Liu Ting went there together.

Most of the Liverpool players came to Asia this time, even Torres, who had just participated in the Confederations Cup, and Xavi Alonso, who had not yet decided whether to stay in Liverpool, also came.

Liu Ting asked Gerrard: "Steven, what about Pepe (Reina) and Luka (Modric)? Why didn't they come?"

After Gerald sighed and said one by one, Liu Ting knew what was going on.

Real Madrid has been unable to win Harvey Alonso for a long time. With Liverpool's salary increase and emotional offensive, Alonso has been inclined to stay with the team, so he will come to Asia with the team this time. Real Madrid shifted their target to Modric. Now everyone can see that Modric has potential, so Real Madrid wants to bet on Modric's talent.

For Modric, he is always on the bench no matter whether he is in Liverpool or Real Madrid, so he is more willing to sit on the bench at the Bernabeu. Liverpool does not want to give up this potential midfielder.

It seems that the magic flute is going further and further on the road to the Bernabeu, but whether the magic flute goes to Real Madrid, his slightly thin body is always a disadvantage, which makes Modric perform well in the Premier League but not at his best. Only by going to La Liga can he show himself better.

As for Reina, it is related to Barcelona.

Although Barcelona lost to Liverpool in the Champions League final, this season is still a successful one. Most of the team's heroes have received salary increases to retain them, but the Barcelona club's first consideration is the most concerned core stars such as Messi and Iniesta. Barcelona goalkeeper Valdez is ranked behind.

Valdez watched Messi and the team talking about salary happily, but no one cared about himself, so Valdés felt that he was neglected, and started to lose his temper with Barcelona.Remembering me now?It looks like I'm quitting.

At this time, Barcelona fans came out to appeal, Valdez wants to make trouble, let him make trouble, we can buy Reina back.

This has aroused the interest of the European media. News about Reina’s return to Barcelona emerges endlessly every day. Reina himself is also affected by these news, or he himself is the kind of player who was born in La Masia and must return to play for Barcelona in the future.

As a result, Reina also had conflicts with Liverpool. This time, Reina did not come to Asia. The goalkeeper who came was Liverpool's Brazilian substitute goalkeeper Cavalieri.

Liu Tingcai knew that many things had happened in Liwu during this period.

After leaving the Singapore airport, many fans came to pick him up. Singapore is a multi-ethnic country, but mainly Chinese, Malaysians and Indians, so Liu Ting also received a lot of welcome.

Liverpool has only one game in Singapore, a warm-up match with the Singapore League's Home Affairs United.

Although it was a warm-up match, Liverpool's main purpose was to prepare for the new season. The game was played very relaxed, and most players got a chance to play. Liu Ting came off after only halftime. Liverpool defeated the Home Affairs United 4:1. Liu Ting scored a goal.

Like most countries in East Asia, Singapore’s league is not a New Year’s Eve league. The Home Affairs United is also one of the league teams. It was originally called the Singapore Police Football Club. You can know the origin of this team from the name.

The game was an ordinary game, and the players of the Home Affairs United team focused on the midfield and exchanging jerseys with Liverpool players after the game, but the venue of the game was quite special, it was a water football field.

The football field built on the water really has a special flavor to play on it, but the barbed wire fence on the side of the field is not too high, and the clearing ball will fall into the water if you are not careful.
