Early the next morning, the whole Liverpool team left for Istanbul, the blessed land of Liverpool, to play the third round of the Champions League group stage, away against the Turkish Super League powerhouse Besiktas.

Gerrard is out of action due to injury!

Besiktas are not famous, but they finished Porto in the last round and are currently second in the group!

Mackin came to Istanbul two years ago, the city that chokes the throat of the Black Sea, the whole city is intertwined with Byzantine style and modern style buildings, and there is a sense of time interlacing between history and modernity, which is very psychedelic~

With a capacity of nearly 40,000 people, the Vodafone Arena has always been the home of the devil and one of the most noisy. Anfield, of course!

Anfield currently holds the decibel noise record!

Mackin was a player in the team, and it was a very different feeling from the last time, after acclimatizing to the venue in the afternoon, they were given two hours of free time in the evening, and Benitez also knew that the players were nervous now, having just finished the derby and had not yet recovered.

Mackin and Lucas are now more talkative, the two have similar team status, similar journeys, and a common language.

The two went to the Bosphorus Strait, after all, it is a famous scenic spot, the strait spans the Eurasian continent, Europe on the left, Asia on the right, the night view is very beautiful~, when you have time during the holiday, you must take Isabella to take a good turn in these beautiful places in Europe, Makqin thought in his heart.

"Mark, did you think the captain and the leader would be in trouble?"

"I don't know, how?"

Lucas clubbed the railing, "I just came to Europe from Brazil, and many Brazilian players didn't develop well when they first arrived, and in the end~"

Mack Qin smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, the club won't joke with this season's results, and we also have the opportunity to play, we can play in the Premier League and the Champions League, it's perfect for a rookie like us"

"That's what you said, eh, you've performed so well in these few games, do you think the boss will let you play the main team?"

"I don't have a play, it's possible for you, and I won't play if I want to play the main force, I'm easy to get injured now, I'll talk about it in a year or two"

"That's right, if I can hit the main force~, hehe", this dream is made, and the smile is really cheap~

……

Noisy~, harsh~, upset~, terrifying~

This is how Mackin felt when he first stepped into the stadium, after the derby, he thought it was the noisiest away game in the world, and it was just three days later, and it was refreshed, and they were like walking into a workshop, with a huge machine roaring.

I couldn't hear any words at all, not even shouting in my ears.

Lucas got his wish to start, Mascherano was rested, Benitez willfully sacrificed 433, three strikers, Torres, Voronin, and Crouchzi came into play.

Besiktas striker Pobo dominated the game, and in the eighth minute, his unthreatening shot was blocked by Agg, who had just returned from injury, and Reina must have been depressed, and was scored by his own defender for the second time in a row!

In the 78th minute, Pobo was next to the substitute Mackin and scored a super long-range shot, he couldn't do anything, and in the 72nd minute, he replaced Benayoun, and the result of no winger was that the Liverpool midfield was completely out of control in this game, even if Alonso was in charge.

Just after Bobo scored this world wave, the real-time noise meter on the scene recorded a historic scene, 132 decibels! , which broke the record for noise inside a stadium for a football match held by Anfield! and then it will be the most piercing course in the veritable way!

The only good news was that Fernando Torres finally broke his Champions League goal scares when he converted a face-saving goal from Crouch three minutes later after receiving a header from Crouch.

At the end of the game, Liverpool lost 1-2 to Istanbul, and the Champions League qualification situation was in jeopardy!

Mackin also officially ended his record of inevitably scoring goals or assists since he came out of the game, and also tasted defeat for the first time~

In the hellish stadium, they walked into the locker room with their heads bowed, and tonight they were left with nothing but loss.

Benitez was still stubborn after the game, "There are three games left, we have two home games, and Marseille and Porto have drawn in this round, it is not a problem for us to qualify!" ”

The British media don't see it that way, and the newspaper titles are sensational~

"Liverpool has taken a sharp turn and may be defeated on multiple fronts"

"The captain may be injured indefinitely, Liverpool has the biggest crisis since the season"

"Benitez suffers a crisis of confidence, in order to protect the captain, Liverpool's board intends to change the manager"

"Liverpool Twin Stars Magically Not Present, Defeated Istanbul"

As soon as Benitez came back, he angrily dropped the newspaper in the office, these sons of a bitch's media!

Three days later, there will be a civil war between the first group, with first-placed Arsenal away against third-placed Liverpool, the media is inciting civil unrest, and Wenger doesn't even have to use a war of words!

……

Jonathan, Peter, and Makqin sat in the conference room, Jonathan and Makqin shook hands and congratulated, and the two sides officially signed the contract.

Jonathan has officially become Mackin's agent from today, mainly responsible for Mackin's contract negotiations, transfer negotiations, and business development in Europe, Peter has established a company, which will authorize Jonathan Sports Economics to use Mackin's image rights for a fee, and is responsible for Mackin's peripheral management and legal counsel.

"Mark, it's a pleasure to work with", Jonathan said happily, he really did a lot to beat Jose.

Jose's players are mainly in Spain, where there are many things, and there is definitely no Jonathan on this side.

"Jonathan, I'll leave my affairs to you in the future, I'll talk about the ugly things first, I'm a very assertive person, and I like to discuss with people, so I don't want something that I don't know and don't treat me well"

"Don't worry, don't worry about my reputation, I won't smash my own sign, haha", Jonathan said with a smile.

"OK, nice to work with"

Jonathan immediately got into the groove, pulled out a chair and sat down and said, "Now I'm going to do three things, one is to start your new contract negotiations, which I estimate should be between 2-30,000 pounds; The other thing is the recent problems of your team, and I want you to support Gerrard."

"Huh?"

'It's better for you to deal with it internally, I mean if it's all the same, Gerrard will win in the end, you have to be mentally prepared because the problems in the dressing room are often big problems for the team'

Makqin nodded, "Understood, I will be cautious in my words and deeds."

Jonathan smiled, "I don't have to worry about your character, I suggest that you take it slow on the business side, you are too much to sign now, some small merchants and I will deal with it simply with Peter first, sign for a year, not more than two years at most", and glanced at Peter after speaking

Peter nodded, "That's what I thought too"

"In addition, Liverpool has been strengthening ties with China, and I will try to talk to you about some business bonus sharing, but Liverpool's current situation, it is estimated that it will not be much, it doesn't matter, I just want to open an opening, in addition, I will create some momentum in the media"

Mackin frowned.

Jonathan waved his hand, "Don't be nervous, it's normal for a coach to like a young talent in Europe, you don't need to do anything, on the contrary, you can show loyalty, so that you can please the fans and the club, and you can also raise the price and attract businesses"

"But I haven't heard of any famous marshals interested in me?"

"Hehe, don't worry, I have resources, I said, I like you very much, there will be news coming out"

Mackin thought about it and felt that it would not hurt him, "OK, but don't mess it up, I don't want to have an unpleasant quarrel with Liverpool"

"Don't worry, nothing will happen"

"Finally, I got the news that next month's international break, England U18 intends to call you~"

"Huh?" He and Peter looked at each other

"What do you think?" , Mark asked Jonathan

"Drag"

Peter glanced at Mackin in surprise, you two think the same!

"Being selected for the youth team is of limited use to you, and the results of the English youth team are mediocre, you don't need to rely on that to make a name for yourself, the most important thing for you is to play well for Liverpool"

Jonathan weighed it and said: "Of course you may receive some criticism from the British fans and the media, but there is criticism rather than bad things"

"There are a lot of players to choose from in the English youth team, so you don't stand out too much'

"When everything is on the right track, it's not too late to make a decision, and in addition, on the Chinese side, I suggest you choose an agent and connect directly with me and Peter."

Mark Qin nodded, "No problem, do what you think"
