Chapter 7 The Big Turtle of the Football Association (the third update, asking for a monthly ticket ()!) ）

Liverpool didn't spend half a month in England, mainly doing physical training to store up for the new season, and then played two warm-up games against local teams.

Chen Yingying was given the opportunity to play in both games, once as a starter and once as a second-half substitute.

He scored one goal in each of the two games, and both goals were scored thanks to his superior individual ability while still being unfamiliar with his team-mates. One of the balls wasn't even a chance in the first place, so he used his body to knock the defender away, grab the spot, and then head home.

Due to the addition of Chen Yingxing, these two warm-up matches attracted a large number of fans, and the fans let out a huge cheer when they saw Chen Yingxing score in his first appearance for Liverpool.

At the same time, this is also the first time that Chen Yingying has appeared on the pitch wearing the No. 9 shirt of the Red Army, although it is not an official game, but it is also a memorable moment.

After two warm-up games, Liverpool left for their summer business tour: China!

On July 16, Liverpool will play Guangzhou Evergrande, the most popular team in Chinese football today, in Guangzhou. Then came the highlight – a warm-up match against the Chinese national team in Changsha. This will be the last warm-up game for the Chinese national team before the Asian Cup qualifying play-offs against Laos, and after this game, they will host Laos. Only if they defeat their opponents over two legs will they be able to qualify for the round of 20 of the Asian qualifiers.

If they can't even pass the Laos pass......

For Liverpool, these two warm-up games are of a very high standard, you must know that Liverpool is not the most popular team in China now, if teams such as Real Madrid and Barcelona, Manchester United, Inter Milan and Milan come to China, maybe they can still get such treatment ().

Evergrande is also the number one team in China today, known as the "Chinese Real Madrid", not to mention the Chinese national team, no matter what the strength of the people is, how to say that it is also a team representing a country.

In fact, when Chen Xing first wanted to visit China, he was looking for warm-up opponents.

At that time, no one in the whole of Liverpool except for Chen Xing himself and Niang knew that Chen Yingying was going to join the team in the summer.

Therefore, when the commerce department arranged the schedule of the visit to China, the opponent of one game was Guangzhou Rizhiquan, and the other game was not Chinese at all, and it was no longer played in China, and the opponent was the Malaysian star team at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium in Malaysia.

At that time, Liverpool wanted to play a game with Evergrande, but because of the schedule, there was a Chinese Super League match on July 14, and the Chinese national team had the task of qualifying for the World Cup at the end of July. So Evergrande has little interest in this game.

In fact, the above are all excuses, and the fundamental reason is that Liverpool has lacked good results over the years, and its popularity has declined year by year. Evergrande is now known as the "Chinese Real Madrid", and it seems that it really has the same vision as Real Madrid, and it is a little unsightly for Liverpool......

Since Evergrande is not very interested, Liverpool can only change one opponent, that is, Rizhiquan, which is also in Guangzhou, but Rizhiquan is a team in the middle league, and the level is one grade lower than Evergrande.

But it can't be helped, who made Liverpool lose its reputation now?

As a result, the situation changed abruptly, and the media suddenly broke the news that Chen Yingying had an affair with Liverpool, and what was even worse was that Chen Yingying admitted it!

At this moment, Liverpool has suddenly become a sweet spot in the Chinese market.

Countless teams are vying to play Liverpool and play warm-up matches. Because everyone knows that if they can play against Liverpool, then they can definitely attract the attention of fans all over China, and the ticket revenue on that day alone is astronomical, not to mention the advertising effect of media hype......

This time, even Evergrande suddenly became enthusiastic.

Taking advantage of the fact that Liverpool had not yet talked to the Fountain of Sun, he cut off the beard halfway and pulled Liverpool over. The match time was changed to July 16, and there were only two days before the end of Evergrande's league game. But this time, what league schedule is tight, and what international players will be transferred to the national team to prepare for the World Cup qualifiers...... None of this is a problem!

Although I think Evergrande is a bit snobbish, this is exactly what Liverpool needs - who wants to play against a team like Sunspring if they can? Liverpool are here to explore the Chinese market, and of course, they have to play against the best and most well-known teams in China to have a sensational effect, so as to fully promote their image, enhance their brand value, win more attention in China, and help them to expand into a wider market in the future.

Playing against Evergrande is definitely more beneficial to Liverpool than playing against Sunspring.

However, the match against the Chinese national team was a bit unexpected for Liverpool - if you can play against the Chinese team, it will certainly be better than playing against Evergrande. But Liverpool hadn't thought about this before......

Who would have thought that at this time, a fax was sent from the Chinese Football Association, hoping to contact a warm-up match around July 19.

Later, Liverpool learned that this game was because the incoming Chinese team manager Camacho made a matchmaking and made a request, hoping that the Chinese team could have a warm-up match with Liverpool, so that he could observe the current level and personnel composition of the Chinese team......

Camacho is the new coach of the national team selected by the Chinese Football Association, and he is the candidate to replace Gao Hongbo after the match with Laos. And they are proposed through the Chinese Football Association's current big funder and sponsor, Dalian Wanda Group, who has just signed a cooperation agreement with the Chinese Football Association to fund the selection of coaches and the selection of young players to study abroad...... The Chinese Football Association naturally dared not offend.

So there was an invitation to such a game ().

Being able to play against the Chinese national team naturally made Liverpool FC overjoyed. For other European teams, playing against China should not be a big deal, but for Liverpool FC bent on making money from the Chinese market, playing against China is simply the best way to promote them.

How could such an invitation be refused?

Agree immediately!

In fact, what they didn't know was that Camacho's request made the Chinese Football Association mutter for a while. Quite simply, they can imagine how embarrassing the Football Association will be in this game......

A player who has been persistently spraying the Chinese Football Association and the General Administration of Sports has never been selected for the Chinese national team, but has to play in a commercial friendly match...... What the media and fans will think of this, based on their experience, is simple.

At that time, before the game was played, the overwhelming criticism came - such a terrible person, why don't you recruit into the national team?

What can the Football Association say, it can't be said to be the opinion of the top, right? This is really looking for death......

So I can only pretend to be a turtle and shrink my head and not answer.

※※※

The officials of the Football Association were really prescient, because since the announcement of this opponent, various voices about Chen Yingying and the Chinese team have spread all over the country. In these voices, unsurprisingly, without suspense, rightfully on, even insensitive...... The Chinese Football Association has become the villain.

“…… Chinese football is fighting black, Wanda Group is throwing money to build momentum, and inviting the famous coach Camacho or something, but these are all false! Chen Yingying is not as good as the Chinese national team for a day, and Chinese football is not considered to be bottoming out for a day! ”

"Don't tell me that the league is fundamental, the pursuit of national team results is a quick success ()! As a Chinese fan, I have endured it for so many years, and our national team has not even been able to enter the top 10 matches in the Asian region in two consecutive World Cups! The league is a long-term project, and it may take a long time to see results. So before that, are we going to have to endure the endless cold winter in vain? Maybe we won't be able to see the benefits of league reform until we die. We know that the good results of the national team do not mean that Chinese football is good, but is it not enough for us Chinese fans to huddle together in this difficult winter, and have a little hope? Calling Chen Yingying into the national team may not allow the national team to reach the finals of the World Cup in Brazil, but we can win a few more games and score a few more beautiful goals in the qualifiers, right? Isn't such a small request enough to satisfy us? ”

……

All kinds of voices converge into one sentence - let Chen Yingying enter the national team! We're going to see him play in the national team jersey!

The Chinese Football Association continues to remain silent in the face of these calls.

It wasn't until Liverpool was about to set foot on Chinese soil that Chen Yingying received a call from Dracula: "There is something, hero...... I had a guy on my side reach out to me through our sponsor and wanted to talk to you. ”

"Is it an endorsement signing?" Chen Yingying asked.

"It's not. He just said that he wanted to meet you in person, and it was a private kind of communication, and he didn't want it to be passed on...... Oh, by the way, he is a Chinese, your compatriot. ”

"Didn't he say what he was looking for me?"

"Nope."

After hearing this answer, Chen Yingying frowned. He couldn't figure out what needed to be so mysterious. If you want to say that it is because of the signing of endorsements, I am afraid that the opponent will know about it and obstruct it or something, which can barely be regarded as a trade secret, but Nike asked me to sign a contract, and I didn't do the same as the underground worker joint, and I also found my agent through sponsors, which has more twists and turns than the Yellow River.

What kind of fuss is this? ro@。
