The 02 World Cup belongs to the sticks, they used black whistles in the round of 16 and the quarterfinals to black Spain and Italy, Italy is the World Cup champion in 4 years, Spain is the World Cup champion in 8 years, and the Koreans can do them with really good means.

In the warm-up match with the French team before the World Cup, the stick sent a guy named Kim Nam-il to tackle Zidane, which made Zidane withdraw from the World Cup that year due to injury.

After Zidane's withdrawal, the French team was still considered the top three favorites to win the championship, and the team had Henry, Trezeguet, and Cisse in the forward line.

There are Vieira, Makelele, and Miku in the midfield, and Lizarazu, Thuram, Desailly, and Sariol in the backline.

Such a French team went out of the group stage without a win, and were still placed in a group that was not too difficult with Senegal, Uruguay and Denmark.

Because at that time, everyone thought that the boss Zidane was gone, and it was time for me to take the position, Henry, Trezeguet, and Vieira all thought so, and everyone gathered a group of people to form a mountain.

So Liu Ting didn't plan to go to the troubled waters of the French team.

Wagner knew what Liu Ting meant and said, "Okay, I understand. ”

Liu Ting has not responded to the French Football Association's overtures, even if he was asked by reporters, he simply said: "What I have to do now is to prepare for the League Cup final, and other things will be discussed later." ”

In the next few days, Bordeaux was preparing for the UEFA Cup final under Blanco's leadership, and on May 12, the Bordeaux squad flew to England two days earlier to adjust to the weather.

On the day Bordeaux arrived in Manchester, Rangers also arrived, with Bordeaux contacting Manchester City as a temporary training ground, while Rangers were at Manchester United's training ground.

The French fans who came to watch the away game have not yet arrived, and many Scottish fans have already arrived, and the whole Bordeaux team was surrounded and scolded when they got off the plane.

The City Stadium, the venue for the Europa League final, is the home of Manchester City, and now that the Premier League has just ended, there are still a number of players in the team.

At the end of the Premier League, the top four are still the four giants, Liverpool only won the fourth, this season is nothing, Liverpool has not yet announced who the manager of the new season is, and there are fans to protest every day.

Manchester United have won the Premier League and will face Chelsea for the Champions League in a week's time.

Manchester City was bought by former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra last summer, Thaksin asked Liverpool too high a price and then bought Manchester City, Thaksin hired former England national team manager Christian Eriksen to coach Manchester City, but Manchester City only finished 9th in the Premier League in the past season, and Eriksson was sacked by Thaksin yesterday.

Most people don't know that Thaksin is in contact with a Middle Eastern consortium that will transform Manchester City into Premier League upstarts in the coming summer.

Thaksin Shinawatra will also get acquainted with Middle Easterners, and will live in the UAE for a long time in the future, and even his family in Thailand will flee to the UAE after being picked up by the Thai government.

Thaksin Shinawatra ousted him from power in an armed coup d'état in Thailand two years ago during his attendance at the United Nations, and has been in exile in Europe ever since.

Unexpectedly, the Manchester City he bought became an opportunity for him to get acquainted with Middle Easterners, and later obtained the protection of the United Arab Emirates.

Thaksin is currently in the UK, and this UEFA Cup final is naturally his chance to show his face.

Thaksin personally came to the training base to watch the training in Bordeaux, and took a Chinese with him.

Liu Ting also knew the two of them, and went over and said, "Hello Mr. Thaksin! Hello Brother Sun! ”

Coming with Thaksin is none other than Sun Jihai, a Chinese player who currently plays for Manchester City.

"Hello, Liu Ting! Sure enough, he is a hero and a teenager, and he is already a big star at a young age, are you interested in playing in Manchester City next season? ”

Thaksin spoke Chinese, but with a distinct accent.

Thaksin is also a Chinese, he moved to Thailand in his ancestors, and even said that his blood is purer than Liu Ting, his parents are completely Chinese blood, but later changed to a Thai surname in order to enter politics, and he was originally from Qiu Shaoyun.

Because of his Chinese heritage, even though he made great achievements during his tenure as prime minister of Thailand, many people still wanted to oust him from power.

"Well, it's going to have to wait until the end of the season, and I haven't decided yet."

Thaksin just asked casually, and Liu Ting also knew that he was about to sell the club, and he said that he would go to Manchester City.

Thaksin went to talk to the Bordeaux president, head coach and others, while Liu Ting stayed with Sun Jihai to talk.

Liu Ting asked, "Brother Sun, how does it feel to play in the UK?" ”

Sun Jihai: "It's okay, but the weather is definitely not as good as France." ”

'Is it really close to Manchester United? Can you kick the ball over with a big kick? ”

"You can try, but don't blame me for going to Manchester United to pick up the ball when the time comes."

……

Manchester City and Manchester United's training bases are next to each other, separated only by a forest and barbed wire, and it is said that a big ball will fly over the opponent's side in training.

In the evening, Liu Ting and Sun Jihai went out to eat something together and exchange feelings, everyone is Chinese.

The next day, Blanco arranged all the easy training, and now the additional training is only a temporary grinding gun will not have any effect, so it is better to let everyone relax and prepare for the finals.

Zhang Qiming got off the plane and looked at the gringos coming and going, and he didn't know where to go for a while.

When Bordeaux made it past Bayern Munich to reach the final, he decided to come to Europe to watch the game, even if it cost a lot of money.

Although he often works overtime, he can also take a vacation every three months, and he deliberately moved the time of the leave to the UEFA Cup final, going to England today, watching tomorrow night's game, and going back the day after tomorrow.

The main reason is that I am afraid that I will spend too much money after staying for a long time.

Zhang Qiming remembered the person he contacted when he remembered, picked up the phone and dialed the number.

"Hey, you're outside the airport? Okay, okay, I'll be right out ......"

Zhang Qiming walked out of the airport and soon saw a sign in Chinese "Zhang Qiming".

Zhang Qiming walked over and was stunned when he saw the person next to the sign.

"Liu Ting??" Zhang Qiming asked uncertainly.

"Hello, Zhang Qiming, I'm Liu Ting, we chatted on the Internet." Liu Ting naturally shook hands with him in the past.

Zhang Qiming shook his head, this is not true, right?

The 'French student' I have been chatting with on the Internet is Liu Ting? He's coming here to pick him up now?

Zhang Qiming and Liu Ting arrived in the car he came to and found that there was another person in the car.

"Sun Jihai??" Zhang Qiming was taken aback again, feeling that there were too many surprises today.

Sun Jihai didn't say anything, and asked directly: "Are you all seated?" I'm going to drive! ”

Then the car beeped and flew out, and Liu Ting hurriedly said: "Brother Hai, you slow down, I have never been in your car so fast." ”

Sun Jihai likes sports cars and drives fast. When he was still playing football in China before, the security guard of the community where he lived said: "Although Sun Jihai lives in our community, I have never seen him, and every day the car 'swishs' and goes out, and I can't see anyone." ”

Sun Jihai said to himself: "This car, it depends on the engine, what speed and torque?" That's all, looking at the engine is the most direct and affordable. ”

Liu Ting has taken advantage of the past two days to get closer to Sun Jihai, Sun Jihai has always been the first person in China to stay abroad, and it is good to have a good relationship with him, and he can leave a good impression on the fans by saying two good words for himself in China.

Picking up Zhang Qiming today, Liu Ting didn't have a car in the UK, so he just asked Sun Jihai, who was free, to drive over, looked at Sun Jihai who was talking eloquently, and said that the car obviously scratched his itch.

Sun Jihai was not very interested in Zhang Qiming, a fan, so Liu Ting sent him to find a hotel to live in.

Liu Ting went to Sun Jihai's house to sit down, met his wife and two daughters, and then went back to the team for training.

Mr. Sun, who is 31 years old and has bought Manchester City, believes his Chinese status will help Thaksin expand his influence in Asia and play for two years.

In fact, Liu Ting knew that the Middle East would buy Manchester City immediately, and many players like him who were not strong were directly terminated and let go. In fact, it was a good result, so that he could join another team for another two years for free.

In the evening, Liu Ting invited Zhang Qiming, Lin Yigang and others to dinner in a Chinese restaurant, and it felt more comfortable to talk about things at the Chinese dinner table.

"Qiming, this is Lin Yigang, this is his girlfriend Chen Lin, they are real French students, they all came to Manchester to watch the game."

"This is Zhang Qiming, who specially came from China to watch the game."

"This is my agent, Schiller Wagner, from the German agency Mundir."

This meal was mainly Liu Ting and Wagner, Zhang Qiming, Lin Yigang and Chen Lin, a total of five people.

After Liu Tingyi introduced them one by one, he began to get down to business: "That's the case, my agent plans to set up a team of agents to serve me, and I plan to invite you to join, mainly responsible for the communication and contact between the domestic and fans, of course, this will be paid, this is actually a job." ”

Liu Ting had actually tested them verbally before, and knew that there was a great possibility that they would agree.

Liu Ting and the others all said in English, but Zhang Qiming didn't understand it very well, and asked Liu Ting to repeat it to him in Chinese.

"Okay, I agree to join." Zhang Qiming was the first to agree to join, and Lin Yigang discussed it with Chen Lin in a whisper and agreed: "Chen Lin and I have no problem." ”

"Tomorrow is the finals, you can't drink, everyone will replace wine with tea, cheers!!"

In this way, Liu Ting's small brokerage team was established.

Liu Ting wanted to go back early, and the coaching staff were not allowed to eat many things on the dinner table, so Liu Ting quickly went back to the hotel to rest, leaving a few of them to discuss together.
