i am a football star

Chapter 155

After staying in Singapore for two days, playing a game and participating in some business activities, Liverpool continued to continue this Asian tour.

Liverpool’s Asia Tour has four stops this time, Singapore, Japan, Mainland China and Hong Kong, China. The reason for arranging these sites is that Manchester United also has an Asia Tour event this year. The result of the two clubs’ discussions is that Manchester United will go to Malaysia, South Korea and Mainland China. Manchester United has Park Ji-sung as their home court in South Korea, and Liverpool’s introduction of Kagawa Japan is also considered a home game.

Coming out of Japan’s Narita International Airport in Tokyo, there were crowds of fans waiting outside. The whole Liverpool team finally felt the treatment of a big star. All Liverpool players would get cheers when they came out of the tunnel. Of course, Gerrard, Torres and Liu Ting got the most cheers, and Kagawa, the home player, also got a lot of cheers.

Liverpool had a match against Japan's J1 League team Tokyo FC in Tokyo, and it was still the usual rotation. Liverpool beat their opponent 2:0.The young left-back Nagatomo Yuto of the Tokyo FC team performed well in the game. He has a good running speed and looks thin but his confrontation ability is not too bad. At least he was not at a disadvantage against coolie in this game.

Nagatomo was born in poverty. He liked football when he was a child but was thin. During his freshman year in college, Nagatomo was rejected by their university team because of his thin body. At one point he could only be a cheerleader drummer on the sidelines to cheer for his teammates. Nagatomo Yudo, who is full of hard work, was favored to become a professional player, and gradually became a player of the Japanese youth national team.

Liu Ting knows that this guy will be favored by the newly promoted Cesena in Serie A next year by accident, and he will start his more brilliant counterattack journey.First, after Cesena gradually gained a foothold, his performance attracted attention. After more than a year, he joined Inter Milan. With hard work, he gradually became the main left-back of the rich.

In more than five years, from a useless college player that no college team wanted to become the main force of a European giant, this is like a plot in a novel.

In the free time after the game, the landlord Kagawa also took everyone to taste Japanese specialties.

After the game in Japan, the Liverpool team moved to China.

Liverpool's China station is located in BJ, because Manchester United's station is in Hangzhou in the south, so Liverpool chose the northern city.

At BJ Airport, Liverpool once again got the same enthusiasm as the Japanese fans.

Liverpool have a game against BJ Guoan in BJ, which is played at BJ Workers Stadium.

In the game in China, Zheng Zhi was undoubtedly qualified to start the game. He replaced Mascherano as a defensive midfielder.

Liverpool has a manager Xu Zhengxin who understands China's national conditions. The head coach Heynckes is also a more docile coach. He doesn't have the kind of serious personality that has to work hard in the warm-up match, so this warm-up match is played more openly.

In the end, Liverpool defeated Guoan 4:2. Liu Ting scored twice in the game, one of which was assisted by Zheng Zhi, which made the Chinese fans very satisfied.

This is mainly compared with the game that ended in Hangzhou two days ago. Manchester United beat Hangzhou Greentown 8:2 in Hangzhou. Giggs, who came off the bench to complete a hat-trick in the second half, claimed after the game that the Chinese Super League was not as good as the Malaysian League. Manchester United only won 3:2 in Malaysia, but they won 8:2 in China.

Those who still pay attention to Chinese football are those fans who still have some hope for Chinese football. They know that Chinese football is bad, but it is also uncomfortable to be said so.

Liu Ting said in front of Chinese reporters after the game: "Guoan is a good team. I think they will win this year's Super League championship."

Of course Liu Ting knew that Guoan would win their first Chinese Super League championship this year, so he 'predicted' in advance and set a flag first.

In China, there are many commercial activities for Liverpool to participate in. Fortunately, in many cases, the club will negotiate first before the players come forward. Liverpool also have the opportunity to play around.

Zheng Zhi, as the landlord, took everyone to eat, eat and play, but he canceled his plan to go out to eat and drink in just one day, because no matter where he went, there were enthusiastic fans watching around, and it would be bad luck if he accidentally caused an accident.

Later, the club decided to take a day to visit the Great Wall together. Now that it’s not during the holiday season, there won’t be too many people on the Great Wall, so we can have fun and get in touch with some fans.

The next day, the whole Liverpool team went to the Great Wall for a visit, allowing these Europeans to experience the wisdom of the ancient Chinese people. Most of them took photos and uploaded them on their social networks. It was a change of direction to promote China's long-distance pass. Liu Ting also took advantage of the trend and updated it on Weibo, which also sparked heated discussions.

After BJ's schedule is over, Liverpool will go to Hong Kong, the last stop of this Asian tour.

On the plane to Hong Kong, Liu Ting and Xiang Chuan sat together, which was specially adjusted by Xiang Chuan to sit with Liu Ting.

After meeting at the Singapore airport, the current Liverpool team Kagawa is most familiar with is Liu Ting. I have a question for Liu Ting today.

Xiang Chuan said: "Liu Sang, I have always had a question, I want to ask you for advice, and I hope to get your advice."

"We are also friends, if you have any questions, you can ask me directly."

Kagawa took a deep breath and said: "Last year, I was unexpectedly invited by Liverpool. My agent and I were very happy, but I had to stay in Japan for another year due to labor certification issues. Now that I have met the requirements of the Premier League labor certification, my agent suggested that I go to Europe immediately, where I can improve myself faster, but the coach who promoted and reused me suggested that I stay in Japan for another year."

Liu Ting asked strangely: "Why?"

Kagawa said: "Because next year is the year of the World Cup, I finally won the main position in the Japanese national team after a year of hard work. Coach Gubi thinks that it will be difficult for me to get too many opportunities to play in a short period of time in Europe. If I don't have the opportunity to play, my national team position may be lost. I may even lose the qualification to represent Japan in the World Cup next year. I don't know how to choose."

Liu Ting thought for a while and said: "I suggest you go to the Premier League. This is not too conflicting with your national team. You should know that midfielder Modric, who performed well last season, went to Real Madrid. He used to be the first substitute in Liverpool's midfield. Last season, he got a lot of opportunities to play. He also seized the opportunity to perform well and was favored by Real Madrid. Now that he leaves, although there will be other players competing, I think your strength can temporarily replace Modric's position and become Liverpool's new midfielder. Without a main position, I don't think your national team position will be a problem, unless you lack confidence in yourself."

Xiangchuan thought for a while before saying, "Thank you Liu Sang for your suggestion, I know what to do."

When talking, Kagawa's eyes showed a firm look.

Liu Ting is also thinking: It seems that Wagner's statement is correct. The World Cup is indeed a big stage. Players like Kagawa will hesitate to invite giants because they may miss a World Cup.

At the same time, Liu Ting suggested that Kagawa joining Liverpool this year is also for the sake of Liverpool. With Modric’s departure, there is indeed a lack of a good substitute in the attacking midfielder position. Kagawa’s joining has the ability to fill this position, which can prevent Liverpool’s already weak substitute lineup from becoming weaker.

In Hong Kong, the Premier League has always been the most influential league. In the past, Liu Tinghui Hong Kong was kept a secret. This time he arrived in Hong Kong with the Liverpool team and realized how popular he is.

As soon as I came out of the airport, there were fans wearing the Liverpool team logo everywhere, and the fans wearing Liu Ting's No. 7 jersey were the most on the scene, and many fans held the sign of 'Tingzi'.

There were too many fans, the Liverpool team could only appease the fans casually, and left the airport under the protection of security.

Due to a lot of delay in BJ, Liverpool has not much time to waste. Although Eunuch Hai has a docile temper, he also expressed his protest to Xu Zhengxin who is in charge of this Asian tour. Too many activities will affect Liverpool's preparations and affect the results of the new season. The head coach must be the first to suffer from problems.

Therefore, Liverpool only stayed in Hong Kong for two days and played a game with the Hong Kong Oriental team. Liverpool won without a doubt. Then the Liverpool team ended their trip to Asia and flew back to Europe with the whole team.

This trip to Asia made a lot of money, and Liverpool also used this to exaggerate their influence, but the long-distance travel made the whole team look a little tired. Liverpool, who returned to England, had to continue to prepare for the new season.

While Liverpool is preparing for the game, there are also many moves in the transfer market.

Just after returning from the Asian tour, Liverpool officially announced the return of the golden boy Owen. Michael Owen, who ended his contract with Newcastle United, returned to Liverpool without a visa. The former golden boy returned to Anfield again.

Under the transfer bombardment of C Ro Kaka and others this summer, Owen's return to Liverpool can only be regarded as a small news. Of course, it is not a small news for Liverpool fans.

In addition to Irving and Glenn Johnson, who had already been dealt with before, the other player changes in Liverpool were Shinji Kagawa's official joining of Liverpool.

For Kagawa, all Liverpool fans don't expect much from him, as long as he can do what a substitute player should do.
