In the morning, Liu Ting was sleeping with Seydoux in his arms, and he was tired for half the night last night, and now he was sleeping soundly, but he was woken up by the phone.

Liu Ting didn't want to care, but the phone kept ringing, waking up Léa Seydoux, and Seydoux complained: "Honey, can you go and see whose phone it is?" I must be looking for you in a hurry. ”

Liu Tingcai got up from the bed and found the phone that he had lost last night in the corner of the wall.

After listening to the phone, Liu Ting learned that Arsenal and Manchester United of the Premier League were offering to Bordeaux during the winter break to cause Liu Ting, although this matter can also cause a little attention in Europe, after all, it is a giant, but it is not too much news, each giant team has to buy several young players every year as reserves, whether it can become a talent in the future is not easy to say, but this matter is a big news to China, thanks to the report of "Chinese Football", many fans know Liu Ting, but also regard him as a Chinese, Now it is possible to join a big club, which naturally attracts huge attention.

Liu Ting didn't say whether he would go to a wealthy family, but he was vague, so that he could give people more reverie and attract attention, and he hadn't said that he would be slapped in the face in the future.

As a result, there are more reports on the Chinese side about "Liu Ting may join Manchester United to partner Dong Fangzhuo", "Professor Wenger is optimistic about Liu Ting's potential or become another Henry", and no matter whether there is evidence or not, it is nonsense, as long as someone cares.

In Bordeaux, Bordeaux club president Trio called head coach Blanco into the office to ask questions about Liu Ting. Trio is a little tempted by Manchester United's offer, the current offer has reached 12 million from the initial 9 million euros, Trio knows that if Bordeaux is willing to sell, the other party can add more, but he has to ask Blanco first what he means.

Blanco figured out why the chairman was looking for him before he came, and he also said what he had thought out in advance: "Mr. President, now is not a good time to sell people from both the individual player and the team. On the player side, Liu's form is currently on the rise, which means that he is on the rise at a rapid pace, and by the time the summer comes, he will definitely be worth more, unless there is a big injury. From the team side, we are in good shape now, other strong teams have not performed well this season, only Lyon is our competitor, we have a complete facelift is very likely to beat Lyon to win the league championship, with the championship Liu can sell at a high price, and Liu continues to perform well to help Bordeaux win the Ligue 1 title, next year's European Golden Boy Award will be a hot candidate, then is a good time to shoot......"

Relying on carefully prepared words, he finally persuaded Trio not to sell people in the winter, but Blanco sighed in his heart, a team like Bordeaux is like this, even if it is a Ligue 1 powerhouse, it can only sell good players immediately, and it is impossible to achieve good results in the long term.

The next day, Bordeaux president Jean-Louis Trio publicly stated in front of the media that Liu Ting was not for sale for the team and that he was the future of the team. No one believes these words, it is impossible for a team like Bordeaux to have non-sale, but everyone basically knows that the possibility of Liu Ting leaving Bordeaux this winter is much smaller, because Liu Ting has not publicly stated that he wants to leave Bordeaux, even if there are giants such as Manchester United and Arsenal who are interested in him.

January 10, 2008, the day of the whole team gathering in Bordeaux. In fact, on January 6, Bordeaux played a third round of the French Cup, Blanco was determined to give up the Cup, and directly sent a group of substitutes and young players to face it, but the opponent was a French fourth-tier League Fadin team Kvey, Bordeaux still defeated the opponent 3:1 away and easily passed.

The French domestic cup competitions, the French Cup and the French League Cup, are all decided to be won or lost, and the upper and lower league teams meet the lower league teams and automatically gain home advantage.

At the gate of the Clairefontaine training base, Liu Ting met many Chinese reporters, and they all wanted to interview him for a while. After asking for a long time, Liu Ting learned that it turned out that the Chinese Olympic team had come to Europe to train and was going to play a warm-up match with Bordeaux.

The reason why the national Olympic team chose Bordeaux is because of Liu Ting, and now Bordeaux is the most concerned among the French teams.

Liu Ting can only answer according to the script, his identity is sensitive, and he can't criticize the National Olympic team casually, after all, it represents China, and many people still have illusions about the National Olympic team, if he says bad things about the National Olympic team, he will definitely be labeled as a traitor, even if he knows how bad this team is and how badly he lost in the Olympic Games. And this time the National Olympic training did not end well, not a win, but it is still good that in the past few years, the training has been fighting with people one after another, kicking football and fighting and losing miserably, it is said that this time the chairman of the Football Association Xie Yalong is afraid of another violent incident with the team to Europe, I don't know if I came to travel or what to do?

"I believe that the Chinese Olympic team will achieve good results in Europe, they are a group of players with a lot of energy."

"Will I play in the match against China? It depends on the manager's arrangement, after all, at that time the Ligue 1 has already begun. ”

……

"In the end, I believe that the Chinese Olympics will be a great success and let the whole world know about China."

Liu Ting's eloquent speech in fluent Chinese quickly won the favor of Chinese reporters, and there was a camera next to him, believing that his words of blessing for the Olympics would be transmitted to China through a television channel.

"Hey, old Jacques, how are you doing on the holidays?" When Liu Ting entered the door, he greeted the old Jacques who was guarding the door, and there was a child next to the old Jacques who stared at Liu Ting curiously.

"Welcome back, Liu, you can come over to me for a while when the training is over, this is my grandson Louis Pierre, he wants you to sign for him." Old Jacques touched his grandson's head and said.

"Hello, Louis, I'll be here later." Liu Ting looked at the child and said.

"Hello, Liu." The child's voice was very small, and he seemed a little shy.

Soon, Liu Ting saw most of his teammates at the training base, some of them were still participating in the Africa Cup of Nations and did not come back, Africa once every two years is still played in winter, European clubs, especially the Premier League without a winter break, hated the Africa Cup, but the French Ligue 1 has a winter break, the delay is not long, and only the main central defender in the Bordeaux team, Senegalese Diawara, is the main force of the national team, and the other Africans are back.

Blanco came to the sidelines to observe the players, and assistant coach Gassett was in charge of leading the team in training.

In the second half of the season, Bordeaux will play on the three fronts of Ligue 1, Europa League and French Cup, but the French Cup has been abandoned, and Blanco intends to always arrange substitutes and youth team players to play, and the Europa League is also a game that can be abandoned when needed, and the main goal is the Ligue 1 title.

After the end of the first half of the schedule, Blanco went to participate in the Europa League draw, the 24 teams that qualified for the Europa League group stage and the 8 Champions League group stage third places were mixed together, the draw only the Europa League with the group avoidance and the same league avoidance, the rest all depends on luck, home and away successively, and the group stage ranking has nothing to do with the completely random, Bordeaux's group first and third teams draw exactly the same, which is also a major reason why the Europa League is not concerned, and the viewing in the group stage is greatly reduced. Bordeaux were lucky not to draw Bayern Munich, but they did draw another Bundesliga team, Bayer Leverkusen, with a home-to-away schedule.

Bayer Leverkusen as a Bundesliga powerhouse is not weaker than Bordeaux, and the Bundesliga teams have a tradition of European desperateness, giving up the league to play the Champions League or even giving up the league to play the Europa League are very popular, in stark contrast to the Italian team, the Italian team in the small World Cup after the dream was broken, they all like to give up the European competition to concentrate on domestic competitions, especially the Europa League is the object of abandonment, this year Italy has 4 teams to participate in the Europa League qualifiers 3 failed to enter the group stage, Italians are jokingly called the Europa League is the loser's Cup, Because the third place in the group stage of the Champions League is going to fall to participate in the knockout round of the Europa League, Blanco may consider giving up if the Bundesliga team who likes to work hard in Europe is tough.

Those who are too relaxed during the holiday and whose physical fitness has obviously declined have been criticized by Blanco, Liu Ting is okay, although he will not keep exercising himself like clockwork during the holiday, but he will not be too indulgent.

So Liu Ting performed well on the court, and the first game was a definite starter, in contrast to the Obertan who likes nostrils to the sky, and I don't know why he went to two legs that were as soft as boiled noodles during the holidays, and he was the focus of Blanco's criticism, and he was not going to be sent to the reserve team or the youth team.

At the end of the training, Liu Ting went directly to the old Jacques, just through his teammates Liu Ting already knew about the old Jacques's grandson, the old Jacques's grandson Louis was influenced by his grandfather, since he was a child, Bordeaux fans like football, but when he was a child, he was sick and couldn't even run fast, the ideal is to be a player, he can't be a football player at all, and playing football with other peers is always ridiculed because of his poor performance because he can't run fast, so he becomes inferior, and only dares to play secretly by himself.

Now that Luis Jr. has been sent to an aristocratic school at a large price by his family, his only hobby is to find autographs for every Bordeaux player, whether it is the main substitute or even a loan to Bordeaux, he will hold a football for someone to sign for him and take it back to keep.
