The days have to pass day by day, and Liu Ting is also unfazed every day.

At the end of June 2007, the major leagues in Europe had long since ended, and only some Nordic cold weather leagues continued without New Year's Eve, the Copa America was also played in Venezuela, and strong teams such as Brazil and Argentina were gearing up for the championship. The Asian Cup, co-hosted by Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam, is also about to start in early July, and the domestic sports media are attracted to Southeast Asia. As the runner-up of the last Asian Cup, although everyone thinks that the strength of the Chinese team has declined, fans still have hope, what if they are lucky enough to win a championship and come back?

Only Liu Ting knows how miserable the Chinese team is this time.

June 28, a relatively ordinary day in football, broke the news in England.

"Hong Kong's richest man is about to move into Liverpool", was the front page headline of The Liverpool Echo.

The article reported: "About a year ago, because of the intensification of the global financial crisis, Liverpool owner David Morse could not support, has expressed his willingness to sell his English giants, buyers from all over the world have asked prices, including British, other European billionaires, Americans, South Americans, and more Middle Easterners, Chinese, Japanese and Thai." But of all these bidders, the most likely to buy Liverpool is the 'Dubai International Fund' from the Middle East, American businessmen Hicks and Gillette, and former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra. In the end, among the three parties, former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra gave up the acquisition of Liverpool due to financial problems, and instead targeted Manchester City, the competition between the 'Dubai International Fund' and American businessmen, it seems that American businessmen have the upper hand, we all thought that Liverpool would become an American team, after Manchester United, another Premier League giant that was bought by the Americans, and the third Premier League team to be bought by the Americans after Manchester United and Aston Villa.

People thought that the acquisition of the Americans would be finalized soon, but the acquisition of Liverpool was delayed again and again, but now there is a big reversal. According to the news from Liverpool, Liu Zhenghua, a wealthy man from Hong Kong, is about to become the boss of Liverpool.

According to the latest Forbes World Rich List, Liu Zhenghua is worth $15 billion, ranking 30th in the world, about 3 billion less than Abramovich, the owner of Chelsea in 16th, but he is definitely a behemoth. ”

The Liverpool takeover had started a year ago, and many wealthy people were interested, but they never came to fruition. The Liverpool Echo, as a big newspaper in England and the mouthpiece of Liverpool FC, reported such news, so this matter is definitely not groundless.

Liverpool is an old European giant, although it has declined slightly in recent years, but its influence in the world is still there, especially in the past three years to reach the Champions League final twice, everyone thinks that Liverpool will rise again, and his acquisition issue has naturally attracted a lot of attention.

The issue of the Liverpool takeover immediately attracted a lot of attention in world football, especially in China. The first is the paparazzi in Hong Kong, and there are people guarding the door of Liu's investment company at any time, wanting to interview Liu Zhenghua. However, Liu Zhenghua has been very low-key over the years, and it will be difficult to get an interview, and some of them will go directly to England, if Lin Zhenghua really finally buys Liverpool, there will always be news there.

Although the Asian Cup is about to start, Liu Zhenghua's acquisition of Liverpool is indeed big news, and the Chinese domestic media has also sent many people to the UK.

Liu Ting continues to live his own small life, and he is still unknown in football.

The acquisition of Liverpool was Liu Ting's request, which may have been influenced by future memories, or it may have been a personal experience of the Istanbul miracle, and Liu Ting became a Liverpool fan. Liu Ting was able to know in advance what would happen in Istanbul in the summer of 05, and at the same time, he had the conditions, so he naturally would not miss such a good thing. It's a completely different feeling to experience it for yourself than to just see a shriveled story in the newspaper.

Therefore, Liu Ting told his grandfather about letting him buy Liverpool, Liu Ting knew that after the two Americans bought Liverpool, Liverpool would be played by them, unable to enter the top four of the Premier League for many years, missing the Champions League for several years, and the club still owes a lot of debt, can this still be called a giant? The Americans' acquisition of Liverpool was already suspected of money laundering, and bringing their gray income from the United States to Europe to launder it, Liverpool's life or death was none of their business.

Knowing this, it will be easier to snatch Liverpool from the Americans. Liverpool's original owner David Morse is very affectionate towards Liverpool, Liverpool is their family business, Liverpool is at its most glorious, the Red Army dominated Europe in those years, that is, David Morse's father was the chairman of Liverpool, and now he is only affected by the financial crisis and has to sell Liverpool, he naturally wants to find a better home for Liverpool. Of course, money is also essential, Europeans and Americans are very clear, money is money, feelings are feelings.

Liu Ting just asked Liu Zhenghua to organize the acquisition team to collect some information about the two Americans, so that David Morse could know the true face of the Americans, and at the same time could come up with a sincere price, and then point out the Americans' leveraged buyout ideas, then Morse would make the right choice.

Leveraged buyout is when Americans take out a loan from a bank to buy Liverpool, and after the acquisition is successful, they use Liverpool as collateral to repay the loan, which is to use something that is not their own as collateral to borrow money in the bank, and use the loan money to buy back what is not their own, forming a perfect cycle. The price of this is that Liverpool will be saddled with a large amount of debt, and a part of the loan will have to be repaid every year, causing the team to become weaker and weaker, and the poor record will make the debt more and more, and a big club will become an ordinary team.

The Glazer family, which bought Manchester United, also used a leveraged buyout, but Manchester United is the most profitable team in the world, making a lot of money in the world every year, and Ferguson can guarantee Manchester United's results, so the money earned every year is basically enough to repay the loan.

The two Americans also watched the Glazer family's empty gloves White Wolves get Manchester United, and they are running well, and they also want to buy Liverpool, which can not only launder money but also make a fortune in the end. But Liverpool is not Manchester United, and it does not have such a strong ability to attract money.

Liu Ting continues to train in mental illusion every night, but now he has flexibility, and long-term sandbag training makes him always pass with the ball, and his muscles will remember the feeling of carrying a sandbag and exert too much force.

Scientists and Liu Ting said that this is a long-term problem, as long as it can be completely corrected and flexibility is maintained, you will be able to achieve what you want in the future to advance and retreat freely on the court, and you can continue to dribble the ball in a small area and change direction and dodge continuously.

In addition to recovering the memory of muscle strength, Liu Ting will practice his shooting skills every day, and he wants to find a new team.

On July 18, Liverpool held a press conference to officially announce that Hong Kong's wealthy Liu Zhenghua bought the Premier League giants Liverpool for 470 million pounds, and at the same time will not change the team's management and manager, etc., and will provide a certain amount of funds as a transfer fee.

Liu Zhenghua had to go to Liverpool as the boss, while Liu Ting stayed in Hong Kong. Not changing the management and head coach for the time being is the result of discussions between Liu Ting and Liu Zhenghua, and now a sudden change of generation will make the team turbulent, and it is likely that the results of the new season will plummet.

At the same time, on July 18, the Chinese team was eliminated from the group stage in the Asian Cup, which was the first time in 27 years that the Asian Cup group stage was eliminated.

Domestic fans are denouncing the national team, and the national team is scolded from top to bottom, and at the same time paying attention to Liverpool's affairs, how a Chinese bought Liverpool, how is it also worth paying attention to.

Liu Ting is also waiting for his agent to find him a home, with his current strength is not enough to go to Liverpool, and now Liverpool's head coach Benitez does have some strength, but he is notoriously weird and difficult, if he goes to Liverpool like this now, Liu Ting feels that he may have to sit on the cold bench for a few years.

With Liu Ting's current conditions, at most he is a youth player who has been abandoned by Barcelona, and he has little value at all. Maybe in China, a young player who can get into La Masia will be considered very good, even if he is abandoned in the end. However, Liu Ting is a Monegasque national, and he was very low-key when he was in La Masia, and he didn't know anything about him in China.

The time quickly jumped to the end of July, Liu Ting was going back to Europe, and at the same time to discuss with his agent, European clubs have begun to prepare for the new season.

Although the family has money, Liu Ting still likes to handle his own affairs, after all, he is 18 years old.

On July 22, Liu Ting got on a plane back to Europe. Liu Ting wants to fly to Paris first, where he will meet his agent as soon as possible.
