i am a football star

Chapter 85
Britain is not like China, there are places to eat barbecue at night everywhere, but there are bars everywhere at night here.

The whole Liverpool team inquired for a while before going to a Brazilian restaurant with barbecue at night. Everyone ate barbecue together and drank some champagne to celebrate. In a few days, it was the Champions League match, everyone knew restraint.

In fact, Liu Ting invited everyone to eat barbecue to integrate into the locker room, which also helps to cultivate a tacit understanding with his teammates. By the way, he brought Zheng Zhi to get acquainted with the whole team.

But this time, main goalkeeper Reina, right back Aveiroa, and midfielder Riera excused their absence. They all supported Benitez with the Spanish side.

But Harvey Alonso and Torres came, and Harvey Alonso had turned against Benitez. Torres had a good relationship with Gerrard and was sent by Gerardella.

"When Manchester United scored an own goal just now, I saw Ferguson's face turned green."

"Yes, that old man is mad!"

"How dare you talk about pulling Liverpool off the throne!"

……

While eating, everyone chatted about the game just now.

Liu Ting looked at the two young people present, they might have just joined the team, and they were not familiar with the whole team, so they seemed a little estranged.

"Hey, Gareth, Luca, what are you two doing so close?" Before they could answer, Liu Ting said again: "Oh? I see, you two..."

Seeing Liu Ting's smirk, the two quickly explained: "No, Liu, we were just talking together..."

"Okay, okay, I trust you."

These two are Gareth Bale and Luka Modric, the players that Liu Ting asked to bring in. They spent 1000 million pounds and 120 million pounds respectively on Liverpool this summer.

The two are the Monkey King and the Magic Flute in the future. Bell only joined Tottenham for one season. He still played left back at Tottenham. He was injured for half a year last season.

The old Reknapp, the head coach who will reuse Bell, had not yet become the head coach of Tottenham at that time, which is also a major reason for his success.

Modric was actually snatched from Tottenham. Liverpool took the lead in cutting the beard, and Modric was more willing to play for the giants, so he chose Liverpool between Liverpool and Tottenham.

Liu Ting let the club buy because he knew the strength of the two, which will help strengthen Liverpool's lineup.

Everyone ate about the same, Liu Ting suggested that everyone take a picture together, so everyone gathered together and asked the waiter to take two pictures.

Going back in the evening, Liu Ting posted the photos on the newly opened Facebook and Twitter: A pleasant evening rally (very happy to beat Manchester United).

Liu Ting went to bed after posting.

It was midnight in Europe when Liu Ting slept, but it was already morning in China. Zhang Qiming from BJ came to the rented office. Now he, Lin Yigang and Chen Lin are responsible for organizing domestic fans, and they are also responsible for managing Liu Ting’s domestic Weibo account.

With the financial support of Mondial Brokerage Company, Liu Ting personally has a bonus, and the monthly salary is higher than that of a large company, which is why the three of them are willing to do this job.

Zhang Qiming soon discovered Liu Ting's updated Twitter, and said first: "Liu Ting updated Twitter, I'll forward it to Weibo for him."

Lin Yigang and Chen Lin also came to see, Lin Yigang said: "It's their team gathering at night, you can forward it to Weibo."

Chen Lin said, "There are so many handsome guys in the Liverpool team. Look at Torres, Gerrard and Liu Ting lined up together. They look good, and the other players beside them are not bad."

As soon as Chen Lin said, Zhang Qiming immediately thought of something, so the three of them discussed together.

Liu Ting opened a social account, and the number of followers on Facebook and Twitter for Europe and the United States is not too many. At most, he is followed by some Bordeaux fans. He has not performed well in Liverpool.

China's certified microblog has attracted a lot of attention since it was launched, and has hundreds of thousands of followers in just a few days. However, Liu Ting's microblog has not sent any important news. Today, he finally posted an attractive microblog.

"The best-looking team in the Premier League, none of them"

There is also a photo below, which is the photo of the Liverpool rally. In the middle is Gerrard with his left hand hooked on Torres and Liu Ting with his right hand.

This Weibo quickly became popular, and there were many replies below.

"Appearance is a good word."

"It can be renamed Liverpool Boys."

"Liu Ting, Gerrard and Torres are obviously entertainment stars who have been delayed by football. It would be better for them to develop in Hollywood."

……

With the popularity of this Weibo, the number of Liu Ting's Weibo fans soared, and soon exceeded 100 million, and it was about to reach 200 million.

Weibo was only opened last year in China, and the number of people using it has not been as many as before.

Liu Ting got up the next day and found out that Zhang Qiming's Weibo had become popular through the message sent by Zhang Qiming, but he didn't take it too seriously.

The team trained as usual in the afternoon to prepare for the Champions League match a few days later.

In the UK, the steering wheel is on the right and on the left, which is different from driving on the right in continental Europe. Liu Ting is not used to this change, and his driver's license needs to be replaced.

Most of the English-speaking countries in the world drive on the left like the UK, and the United States, China, and continental Europe all drive on the right.

With this excuse, Liu Ting went to take Gerrard's car to the training base, and he could get closer.

Gerrard is the absolute boss of Liverpool's locker room. He said nothing in the locker room. The first thing Heynckes did when he came to Liverpool was to go to Gerrard and persuaded him to help so that he easily appeased the other Liverpool players.

Gerrard is still very good at being a man, and he rarely has any conflicts with any player. In Liu Ting's memory, even if these Liverpool players leave Liverpool in the future, they are full of praise when talking about Gerrard. Most of them regard Gerrard as the happiest person they have worked with in their careers, including Torres, Xavi Alonso, and Dirk.

Later, Suarez had a very unhappy fight with Liverpool in order to go to Barcelona, ​​but he left. Speaking of Liverpool, Gerrard was the most praised. Even Gerrard was very unhappy when he left.Suarez is not keen on social networks. He only opened Twitter when he arrived in Barcelona. After opening it for three months, he only followed three people. The first is his wife, the second is Gerrard, and the third is one of his fellow Uruguayans.

At the training base, Liu Ting continued to train with the substitute team.

After coming to the Premier League for more than two weeks, Liu Ting also realized the difference between the Premier League and Ligue [-].

Ligue [-], like La Liga, advocates offense and is not so strict about defense, but the rhythm is slower.

The pace of the Premier League is very fast. As soon as the players of the two teams switch to each other, they immediately start to attack. In Ligue [-], when the ball is exchanged, the midfielder often has to stabilize it.

There are more opportunities when the pace is fast, but most of the time it is not a good opportunity.Ligue [-] has a slower rhythm and fewer opportunities, but there are more good opportunities among the opportunities.

The pace of the Premier League is fast, and if you seize the opportunity, you can play a wave in a short time.

In Istanbul in 05, everyone knew that AC Milan was at its peak at that time, but Liverpool was not strong enough and stumbled all the way to the final. In the first half, AC Milan smashed Liverpool's goal three times.At the end of the first half, Platini, who was not yet a member of the UEFA Football Association, told Liverpool Chairman David Morse in the stands as an invited guest: "Mr. Chairman, the 45 minutes of the second half may be the most difficult 45 minutes of their careers for your players."

Indeed, at the time, everyone thought that what Liverpool had to do in the second half was not to be scored again, and to save the last bit of face, because no team has ever been able to reverse a three-goal deficit in the first half of such an international competition final.

In the second half, Liverpool slapped Platini in the face three times.

In the second half, Liverpool took advantage of AC Milan's carelessness. Gerrard took the lead and scored three goals in a row within 8 minutes. When AC Milan reacted, Liverpool had already equalized the score. AC Milan wanted to attack Liverpool again but defended very tightly.

In the end, it was dragged into a penalty shootout. Liverpool won a penalty kick and the shocking reversal was completed.

The opportunities created by the fast pace are often not good enough, but if luck still seizes the opportunity, it will stun the opponent in a short time.

The reversal of Manchester United in the 99 Champions League final is also true. At the turn of the century, Bayern and Real Madrid were the strongest teams in Europe. The two teams fought directly and were even named the European Derby. In that final, Bayern was naturally strong and Manchester United was weak.

Bayern crushed Manchester United in 90 minutes, but they were unlucky and only led by one goal. Seeing stoppage time, Bayern felt that the Champions League champion was a sure thing.

Manchester United scored two goals in 3 minutes of stoppage time, and Bayern was completely stunned. How could such a thing happen?

These 3 minutes made Ferguson's triple crown.

The fast pace leads to more offensive rounds per game, but the quality of chances per round is not high.

This is typical of the Premier League.
