At the start of the new year, everything was renewed, and although it was only one night, Mack felt that Melwood was busier, which was the restlessness at the beginning of the transfer period.

Leto, Zhar and Crouch were no longer visible on the training ground, Leto's EU passport was still pending, so he had to go to Greece, and Zihar did not come to the good Lucas to say goodbye to Mackqin and walked silently.

Crouch was negotiating a transfer with Portsmouth, who were originally going to bring him in the summer, but Crouch was desperate for a main position, so he asked his agent to put pressure on Portsmouth, and Liverpool agreed to release him.

Early this morning, Benitez activated Mascherano's buyout clause, Liverpool can do without Ashley Young, but not without Mascherano, Benitez finally made the choice.

The transfer process is very simple, because the player is in Melwood, so only Liverpool needs to pay 18 million and then report to the FA to complete it.

Now Melwood has fewer first-team players, Hyypia is now on the verge of retirement, Agger has been injured in the first half of the year, and the defenders are already full of talent, and now they can only put together the stable combination of Carragher and Skrtel, Benitez had to transfer Jack Hobbs from the reserve team to the first team.

This is an old acquaintance of Mackqin, and it was he who handed over the armband of the U18 captain to Mackin in the summer, and those under the age of twenty, except for the two of them, are Insua.

However, as long as Enrique and Aurerio are not injured, he will hardly play.

At noon, the FA staff came over to present him with an award, the best goal was just an accolade, and the Rookie of the Month had a trophy for a villain, and then there was a routine short interview.

Then came the FA's decision to add penalties, Richardson maliciously fouled behind his back and added a suspension, Mackin took a retaliatory action and added a suspension, and the all-England game was valid.

Mackin was prepared for the result, and the club did not appeal, so he was unable to play in the first two league games of the year, at Wigan and away at Middlesbrough, before he could play in the third round of the FA Cup on the 16th.

The rest of the club's transfer operations are progressing very quickly, with Benitez setting targets more than a month ago, and the negotiations that should have been negotiated have been almost negotiated, just waiting for the player to sign and the FA to release him.

Second, Liverpool officially announced that Gary Cahill joined from Aston Villa for 5 million pounds, he rejected Bolton, of course, the giants are more attractive in comparison, he has just turned 22 this year, and is a rising star in the British defence.

Now Liverpool have hoarded six central defenders, if there are not enough manpower, it will be really unlucky to go to grandma's house, not to mention that Finnan can sometimes make cameos, Benitez is to prevent Agger's injury, and the defense wins the title, which is his philosophy all along.

At the same time, Crouch also completed the transfer, and finally transferred to Portsmouth for 11 million pounds, the England national team striker with a household registration book, is still very marketable, but because it is a winter transfer, so the value is lower than in history.

No. 3 Liverpool sat at home to face Wigan Athletic, the main Liverpool team that had not yet eased up was full of players, Mack Qin sat in the stands in a suit and watched the game, Bramble's goal in the 80th minute made Torres's efforts come to naught, and Liverpool could only regretfully accept the draw.

The other three won all, Manchester United and Arsenal narrowed the gap between Liverpool to one point, and Ferguson also started a psychological offensive at the right time.

'We're going to finish Liverpool in the second half of the season, they haven't been a leader for so many years and that pressure will eventually crush them and today's game is the ......

There was a real feeling of pressure in the dressing room, there was a lot less laughter in the usual days, and Benitez is not a coach who is particularly good at helping players deal with pressure, and he is more adept at pressuring.

Fortunately, after today's game, the whole Liverpool team had a three-day holiday, and because they couldn't play on the 12th, Mackin and Benitez took two more days off, one is to prepare to meet Isabella's parents, and to prepare to return to China to pay respects to his grandfather.

……

"Eh, have you found a good route", Song Ziqi asked Liu Qi with a tired face.

They arrived in Liverpool last night, full of excitement to put their big bags in the hotel, to experience the Liverpool nightlife, play late, only got up at noon today, and then rushed to Anfield to watch the game.

Sadly, Mack was shown a red card and watched the whole game from the stands like them.

"I've said hello, a few blocks west from here, is the residence of Ma Qin, he is really famous here, anyone who asks will know," Liu Qi said, holding the map.

"Eh, which of you is good at English, translate for me, this report seems to be written by Mackqin", a young man who looked like a high school student next to him shook a newspaper he had just bought.

"Let's come", a young couple took the newspaper, it was the Echo.

The husband of the young couple unfolded the newspaper and translated it sentence by sentence: "Liverpool's rising star Mark ......"

"It turned out that it was Harry Potter author Catherine that night, and they just met at the bar and had a few conversations," he said.

"Let you translate, not let you relay ......," the wife sneered.

"Oh, Mark and Isabella met last year, Isabella is a ...... at the University of Liverpool, forget it, see for yourself, it's basically a love story", the husband concluded.

Liu Qi took it and looked at it, and said, "It is estimated that the echo reported to Ma Qin to refute the ......rumors about the scandal of the Sun News some time ago."

"Let's go, go to Mak Qinna first, and then hurry back to make up for sleep, I'm sleepy," Song Ziqi said.

When Ma Qin drove home, he saw a group of young men and girls squatting and leaning at the door.

Liverpool is a relatively quiet city, and local fans rarely block the door like this, so the security is quite good.

Seeing him drive back, those young boys and girls suddenly became energetic, he went to the door and parked the car, and the security guard Andre opened the gate and walked out, lying on the door of the car window and muttering to him for a while.

It turned out to be a fan who came to travel from China, he asked Andre to drive the car in first, got out of the car and walked over to them, "Hello, are you traveling from China?" ”

Liu Qi and they hula immediately surrounded him, "Mark Qin", "I like you so much"......

After a while, Andre also came out, he was the security guard that Jonathan hired for him, and quickly stood by Mackqin's side to prevent any accidents.

Ma Qin signaled that he was fine, pressed his hand, and waited for Liu Qi to lower their voices, and said with a smile: "Hello, how did you come here?"

Several people looked at each other, and finally Song Ziqi, who was still generous, stood up and said: "Hello, Mackqin, we are all domestic Liverpool fans, of course, we are also your fans, we have a MKQ18 group on the domestic network, everyone is a member of the group, take advantage of the winter vacation to visit Liverpool, of course, more importantly, I want to meet you, hehe"

Mark Qin looked at this petite Jiangnan girl, smiled and nodded, "Thank you for your love, it's really hard to come all the way here, have you watched the game today?" It's a pity if you don't see it, the next home game will be at least ten days away."

"Yes", "We're just done with it", everyone replied again.

"Well, it's cold outside, go home and have a cup of coffee, and then I'll sign your autograph and take a picture together, and you'll see how it goes," he said with a smile.

"Ah~, of course it's good", Song Ziqi shouted, "We thought we could only say a few words to say hello, you are quite approachable"

"Haha, let's go", he led the way into the courtyard.

More than two dozen people were put in his living room, and it seemed a little crowded, and Aunt Joya and Andre went into battle together, and they were busy for a while before making the coffee.

Mark Qin accompanied them to sit on the sofa and on the ground, chatting casually, he hadn't chatted with people in Chinese for a long time, and he felt very cordial when he met a group of domestic fans.

Everyone's questions were strange, he picked the ones that could answer them, and then found a few jerseys for them to autograph, and finally took a group photo for a long time, looked at his watch, and more than half an hour had passed.

He said apologetically: "I can only go here today, I have something to do in the evening, how about we have a good chat next time."

……

Afterwards, Makqin went straight to Isabella's house with the gifts he had prepared, and in the evening he was to meet Isabella's parents, and then tomorrow Amin and Peter accompanied him from London to the imperial capital.

Angel is too young, Chen Zixuan didn't go back this time, the two siblings are already older, and Peter, there is nothing to worry about.

The atmosphere in Isabella's house is very weird~

Mrs. Maders and Isabella sat on the sofa and stared wide-eyed, while Mackin and Isabella's father sat on the carpet holding a bottle of aged Moutai and calling each other brothers.

Originally, the script of the matter was very normal, and Ma Qin acted like a dog-legged son-in-law, carrying the local products brought back from China by the trustees, including two boxes of aged Moutai.

As soon as he entered the door, Maddles's parents were still a little embarrassed, and they were full of alienation that someone had stolen their hearts and souls, and they had no choice but to catch up with a thick-skinned master like Ma Qin, who couldn't be stopped by the city walls.

After five flavors of food and three rounds of wine, he really showed the strength to grab a big order and accompany customers to drink in his previous life.

Aged Moutai is a good wine, dripping wine hanging glass, orange and warm, soft and long in the mouth, the more you drink, the more beautiful it is.

Isabella's father was still a little upright, but the mood has not been very good recently, people are in a bad mood, they are easy to get drunk when they drink, and they drink too much liquor, and the five flavors of life, sweet and sour, bitter and salty, all come out.

Ma Qin hasn't drunk for many years, and he really killed a thousand enemies and lost eight hundred, and today he also let go.

"Eh, I... I say... Horse... Gram, do you know... Know... Dao, this time... Injure... Lost... Many... How much? Madells held a white porcelain vase and couldn't speak, and his body was full of wine.

"Hmm~ No... It's okay, why... All surnames... Surname... Horse, I'm covering... Cover you", Mackin also said with a big tongue.

Isabella looked at the two of them, one in English and one in Chinese, and said that the donkey's lips were not the horse's mouth, and she was happy and happy.

She had imagined countless times what it would be like for him to come over this time, his parents might give him a look, maybe he would be uncomfortable, but she never thought it would be such a scene.

A drunk relieves a thousand sorrows, how long has it been since Dad has laughed and spoken so happily!

You really can, she couldn't help but smile and glared at Ma Qin, who had been confused for a long time.

……

The plane across Europe and Asia flew and went, went and returned, brought memorials, and brought back thoughts.

During this time, Benitez brought twenty-five-year-old Albert Liera from the Spaniards for 5 million pounds.

This classic Spanish left winger, despite his young age, has already played in many national leagues, and this time he joined Liverpool, but also dreams of being able to go to the next level in personal development.

He then brought in Bruno Soriano, who had just been on the first-team bench this season, for £2.25 million from Villarreal.

He's just turned twenty-three, with some skill on his feet and a ferocious tackle, making it an obvious natural rotation for Mascherano.

Although Benitez did not bring in the winger Ashley Young who he wanted, the rotation has been completely strengthened, and he is more confident in the second half of the season.
