i am a football star

Chapter 165 French Nationality
The next day, sure enough, Europe was talking about the match between Liverpool and Fiorentina.

This game is controversial (discrimination), there are reversals, there are newcomers and dark horses, there are star performances, and there are various things to watch.

Italy's "Torino Sport" reported: "Prandelli claimed after the game that Fiorentina only lost to one player. This is a correct conclusion. Liu Ting is already the most threatening striker in Europe. His performance made Fiorentina almost fly away with a three-pointer. The Chinese are growing into world-class stars..."

"French Football" said: "The two teams each played a good half of the game, but the defending champion is always superior, or Liu is stronger than Jovetic, so the final score will be 2:3. This game is the best game of this round of the Champions League..."

Liu Ting's hat-trick also made him the second player to complete a hat-trick in the Champions League this season. The first was Wolfsburg's Brazilian striker Grafit, who completed a hat-trick at home in the first round of the group stage.

The current round of the Champions League is over, and the teams in the Champions League also handed over their own transcripts.

In this round of the giants matchup, Bayern Munich was tied 0:0 by Juventus at home. This is a goalless matchup after the 0:0 draw between Inter Milan and Barcelona in the previous round.

The upset of this round appeared in the city of Milan. AC Milan lost 0:1 at home to Zurich.

Inter Milan, another team in Milan City, drew 1:1 with the Russian team Rubin Kazan in an away game.

After the game, Mourinho criticized his new star player Balotelli. After Mourinho leaves Inter Milan, the whole story of these things will spread.

Inter Milan has been plagued by injuries recently, especially on the front line. When they went to Russia to play away games, they couldn't find a real striker on the bench. The only two strikers left in the team were Balotelli and Eto'o.

In the game, Balotelli got a yellow card irrationally in the first half. During the intermission, Mourinho only spent 3 minutes to explain the second half tactics clearly, and then left 12 minutes to talk to Balotelli alone.

Mourinho said: "Mario, we have no forwards to use. In the second half, you have to be careful not to take cards. This will not only affect this game, but your suspension will also affect the next Champions League..."

In short, Mourinho spent more than ten minutes earnestly, letting Balotelli play the game well, don't be impulsive.

Then, shortly after the start of the second half, Balotelli was sent off in retaliation for his opponent's yellow card, and Inter Milan could only accept a draw.

There is a mentally disabled child in the team, which is indeed a very brain-burning thing for the head coach.

In Group E where Liverpool is located, Lyon defeated Debrecen 4-0 away in this round. Lyon and Liverpool also won two consecutive victories and accumulated 6 points.

Judging from the current situation, it is more likely that Liverpool and Lyon will join hands to qualify, but Fiorentina will soon have two rounds of matches against Debrecen. The Hungarian team is simply here to deliver food. It is not a big problem for Fiorentina to win the two games and score 6 points. At that time, they will catch up with the points, so the next two rounds of competition between Liverpool and Lyon are very important. The two-game losing streak is likely to be caught by Fiorentina.

As far as the Premier League top four are concerned, all of them have won two consecutive Champions League group matches. It seems that the trend of Premier League dominance will continue.

On the contrary, this round of the Champions League Manchester United home game, someone streaked in the field. It’s a little news. Let’s forget about streaking. He’s still a big fat man, and he’s a man.
Back from Italy, Liverpool immediately had to go to London to play an away game, this time against the Blues Chelsea.

Since Ancelotti took office, he has led Chelsea to 6 wins and 1 loss in the league, two consecutive victories in the Champions League, and also defeated Manchester United to win the Community Shield. The results are quite good, and it can be said that morale is booming.

Ancelotti has a long history with Liverpool. He coached AC Milan and met the Red Army twice in the Champions League final. Now the match between Chelsea and Liverpool has attracted more attention.

At Stamford Bridge, the score of the two teams was 0:0 in the first half. In the second half, Chelsea scored two goals in a row to establish the victory. Liverpool suffered the second defeat of the season, both of which were lost to the London team.

Chelsea is gaining momentum, and Liverpool's away game loss is not a big news, but An Fatty praised Torres after the game: "Torres is great. He is a striker who can score many goals, whether it is with the header or with both feet. I like this kind of striker. I wanted to introduce him when I was in AC Milan, but unfortunately I couldn't succeed."

Fatty An's words gave the media a chance to create a topic. Whether Fatty An was sincere or wanted to disturb the morale of Liverpool's army, reporters liked this kind of specious scandal, and they had enough room to play freely.

In this round of the league, Arsenal beat Violence 6:2 at home, but Manchester United was tied 2:2 by Black Cat Sunderland at home. Chelsea took advantage of this victory to occupy the top spot, and Liverpool is 8 points away from the top spot.

The current round of the league is over, the national team match day is coming, and the World Cup qualifiers on all continents are almost at the last moment, which is the critical time.

Before the start of the national team match, news came out from France: Liu Ting's mother has been verified to be of French descent, and now she has officially obtained a passport issued by the French government.

This is not a small news. With French nationality, Liu Ting is qualified to represent the French national team. Although the French team has not officially recruited Liu Ting, this news can be said to be a precursor for Liu Ting to join the French national team.

Liu Ting's performance is getting better and better, and more and more countries want to call him into the national team. The England team has already expressed their intention to Liu Ting. Now Liu Ting has become a French citizen, which makes many reporters chase after him. It is very likely that Liu Ting will represent France in the World Cup in South Africa next summer.

Before the news was released, Liu Ting knew that the reporters would chase him, so Liu Ting hid back to Monaco in advance.

The reporters did not find Liu Ting in Liverpool, and soon someone went to Monaco to find him.

※※※

Coming out of the small airport in Monaco, Li Yuyang took a few younger brothers on their way.

A young man carrying a video camera complained: "Brother Li, you said that Monaco is such a big tourist city that it doesn't even have a bigger airport, and you have to take a helicopter from France. Isn't this a tossing?"

Li Yuyang said: "Big fart, Monaco is only a small village in China. How much land would it cost to build a big airport? It would be more cost-effective to build a few more big hotels and casinos."

The young man said embarrassingly, "Isn't this my first time here in Europe? Brother Li has a lot of knowledge. Brother Li, can we really interview Liu Ting? I heard that journalists from all over Europe have been attracted to come here these days."

A hat-wearing man next to him immediately chimed in, "That's right, you don't care about the relationship between Brother Li and Liu Ting? Back then, Brother Li knew Liu Ting just after he was kicked out of La Masia. Nowadays, everyone in China doesn't know that Brother Li and Liu Ting have a strong relationship, and they can always get news about him first."

"Okay, let's go, what are you talking about?"

Although he said this, Li Yuyang had a very useful look on his face.

In the past few years, Li Yuyang has become a top domestic sports reporter relying on Liu Ting's news. He has been in charge of reporting in Europe for a long time. When he is free in summer, he will be arranged to interview other competitions such as the European Cup and World Cup. He is already the pillar of "Chinese Football".

Although Liu Ting went to Monaco on purpose, he still had to accept some interviews.In the past few days, the brokerage company has arranged for some media to come to interview, and these are the media that have always had a cooperative relationship with Liu Ting.

When Li Yuyang just entered the door, he saw a group of French people coming out, and they knew each other. Li Yuyang also simply said hello.

The young man carrying the camera whispered to the hat-wearing man next to him, "Who are those people?"

"It looks like it should be someone from the French newspaper L'Equipe."

Soon Liu Ting also began to accept interviews from Li Yuyang. Those who were able to be included were acquaintances. Generally, they would not ask any difficult questions, and the interviews were considered smooth.

"Hello, Liu Ting, you suddenly became a French citizen, are you ready to join the French national team?"

"Now I am only eligible to play for the French team. Everything depends on the decision of the head coach of the national team."

"Why did you suddenly join the French team?"

"I don't want to miss the World Cup in South Africa next year."

……

Liu Ting stayed in Monaco to rest and accept an interview by the way, and the national team game is also going on.

这一届的世界杯预选赛，欧洲区分为9个小组，第1到8小组每组6支国家队，第9小组只有5支国家队。

每个小组头名直接获得10年世界杯正赛资格，9个小组成绩最好的8个第二抽签进行两回合附加赛（前8小组需要减去对阵小组内成绩最差球队所得积分再和第9小组比较），胜出的4支球队同样晋级10年世界杯，这样欧洲区总共有13支队伍晋级明年的世界杯。

On the day of the national team competition, the European region will play the last two rounds of the group stage.

The current situation of the group where the French team is in is not very good. After the current 8 rounds of group matches, the French team ranks second in the group with 15 points, 19 points behind Serbia, which is the first in the group with 4 points, and Austria with 11 points behind it.

With only the last two rounds left, it is difficult for the French team to catch up with Serbia, because Serbia only needs one victory in the last two rounds to guarantee the first place in the group.Of course, the French team only needs one victory to guarantee their second place in the group. The opponents of the French team in the last two rounds are the Faroe Islands and Austria, and the Faroe Islands are the worst team in the group.

But overall, it is best for the French team to win two consecutive victories. If they only win one game, they can only win the game against Austria to qualify for the play-offs, because the French team is currently the second worst group in the 5th group with only 9 teams.

However, Liu Ting was not too worried about the current group stage. He knew that the French team would get second place and participate in the play-offs. France would encounter trouble in the play-offs. In the end, they had to rely on the referee's recommendation before going to South Africa.

That's when he played, which is why Liu Tingrang's agent and the French Football Association said that this time the national team's match day was too "rushed" and the reason why the national team will make its debut after the play-offs.
