The rest of the game is not so important to Liu Lu, arrange the game strategy and lineup, he didn't even go to the scene, he has more important arrangements these days, and has to prepare for next season early, if the second division is easy to deal with, the first division is completely different, not only the plan to be promoted to the Championship will be in vain, and it may even fall into the relegation battle, or fall back to the second division, these old Liu must not allow it to happen, so he made a little arrangement for the club, He flew to another important city in English football: Manchester.

The main purpose of this trip is to meet Manchester City manager Ranieri, Lao Liu has an important intention to cooperate with the old Italian legend coach to chat, at Manchester Airport, Liu Luzhen met Sun Jihai who came to pick him up, due to an injury in last week's game, Sun Jihai is now in the recovery period, was not arranged by Ranieri into the sixteen-man list of this week's game, do not need to participate in today's training, and it is precisely because of this that he can run to pick up Lao Liu before the crucial game of qualifying for the League Cup.

Liu Luhai has known Jihai for a long time, from Dalian Wanda's hairy boy to Manchester City's leading star, Lao Liu has always liked Sun Jihai very much, including his football skills and character, but Sun Jihai has not known Lao Liu for long, speaking of which, it is still the beautiful reporter Wang Xiaoqi to pull the string.

After the end of filming in London, the special film crew immediately went to Manchester, in a chat during the interview with Sun Jihai, Wang Xiaoqi talked about Liu Lu's special performance in English B, which made Jihai admire, and later when Manchester City went to London to play away, he met through Ma Dexing and chatted very happily, Liu Luyi also straightforwardly invited Jihai to join after Wellingham returned to the Premier League, Jihai Xiaoxiao did not answer, and then the two often chatted on the phone, This time it was an incident that Jihai inadvertently talked about Manchester City two days ago, which touched Lao Liu's inspiration, and he didn't care about his team's game, and flew over in a hurry.

"Lao Liu, I'm a little embarrassed, Mr. Ranieri only had time tonight, and he originally agreed to have dinner together at noon, but recently the team personnel have been seriously unorganized, and he has to have a meeting with the coach and team doctors." Jihai knew that Lao Liu had left the team and came over, and the time was very tight, "It's okay, what are your arrangements for the afternoon?" Lao Liu rolled down the window as he spoke, and it was already a little hot in Manchester in early May.

"I'm going to the club for a physiotherapy, and then it's fine, by the way, I haven't officially congratulated you on your promotion to the first division, yes, your career has developed greatly, alas, how is love, that little witch has a very high evaluation of you, I haven't seen him like this to others before, seize the opportunity." Because of the small difference in age and the fact that they have similar interests, Jihai and Lao Liu now talk very casually, just like old friends who have been friends for many years.

"Okay, you don't think there are as many scandals in the sports world as there are in the entertainment industry, so let's do physiotherapy, I'll go to Old Trafford first, wait for your call, and then you take me to visit Manchester City Club, don't worry, it won't embarrass you, I'll just take a look."

"Oh, that's it." ……

The Manchester United fan store next to Old Trafford is still quite different from Arsenal, with more types of goods in it, several times larger in area, and in addition to the salesperson, the role of a fan assistant has been added, and they have a small part of Manchester United, mainly to introduce the club's situation to Manchester United fans from all over the world, recommend fan supplies, so that everyone can find their favorite, special meaning of the goods, of course, the club's sales have also greatly increased.

In the jersey area, Lao Liu really found Dong Fangzhuo's No. 17 jersey, but it was obviously from last season, put it in the innermost, Xiao Dong was loaned to the Championship Crystal Palace team at the beginning of this season, performed well, scored eight league goals, whether he can return to Old Trafford again next season, it depends on the idea of Sir Alex Ferguson's replacement, now Manchester United has officially issued an announcement, Sir Alex Ferguson will completely retire from his coaching career after the end of this season, and now the replacement has various theories, Cantona, Robles, Even Alledeis is in the midst of media speculation.

"Hello, sir, is there anything I can do to help you?" A tall fan assistant in a Manchester United uniform first said to Lao Liu in English, Lao Liu was stunned for a moment, and did not answer immediately, he immediately changed to a relatively broken Chinese, "Sir...... How can it help you? ”

Lao Liu couldn't help but laugh dumbly, "Okay, okay, let's still speak English, sorry I didn't pay attention to what you said just now, how did you know that I was from China, not South Korea." ”

"I see you taking Jackie's shirt, oh yes, that's Dong Fangzhuo, we all call him that, hopefully he can bring victory to Manchester United on the pitch like Jackie's Chinese kung fu, and now he is doing very well at Crystal Palace, I think he should be back at Old Trafford soon." While expressing his opinion, the fan assistant recommended several Manchester United fan supplies to Lao Liu.

"Yes, Jackie has the support of more than a billion Chinese, and will definitely be able to give full play to his abilities, thank you for your introduction, these things will be wrapped up for me." Lao Liu chatted happily with the young fan assistant and bought a lot of goods, including Xiao Dong's jersey.

Out of the fan store, Lao Liu walked to the door of Old Trafford with other tourists, although there is no game now, but in order to let Manchester United fans from all over the world can enter the temple in their hearts at any time - Old Trafford to visit, only need to buy very cheap tickets, you can enter the stadium to visit.

Standing on the fan stand next to the rostrum, the grand stadium is completely in front of you, looking at the Old Trafford stadium that has been rebuilt with billions of pounds, any fan will have a kind of excitement from the bottom of his heart, excited, Lao Liu is thinking, within ten years, I must go out of Lenovo Fengyun Stadium and build a great stadium of my own......

"I can go to the pitch before training and then I'll take you around the rest of the club." As soon as he got out of the taxi, Sun Jihai greeted him from the door of the Manchester City club, and in the process of the two walking inside, the people they met, whether it was a club official in a suit and leather shoes, or a young player, or even a Latin aunt who was cleaning, all greeted Jihai cordially, bypassing the office building and the other two small white buildings, the training ground appeared in front of him, the training ground consisted of several standard courts and some small training areas, Manchester City's first team was making preparations before training, and saw Sun Jihai leading Lao Liu to approach, Dune, Samoras and the others all came up to say hello, "Hey, Sun, who did you bring, your cousin?" It's still a new Chinese international. Mills, who usually likes to be funny, was the first to attack.

This is a pediatric for Jihai, "Don't lose, this is the big boss of China, who came to buy Manchester City, and it will be unlucky to be careful if you offend it." After laughing, Mills took over, "That's not bad, it's better than the rich people in Thailand who don't buy it repeatedly." After chatting a few more words, seeing that the training was about to start, Lao Liu and Jihai left the training ground in a sense of interest.

"Hasn't the Thaksin takeover been finalized yet? I've been talking about it for a few years. Lao Liu asked Jihai, "Who knows, now there is a saying that an American boss is talking to the board of directors, now he is more interested in football, but he is not willing to be the wronged leader, talk carefully, by the way, I heard that a Chinese mysterious rich businessman recently invested 850 million pounds to buy Manchester United, although Glazer immediately refused, but when it comes to the fundamentals, that guy is still an American businessman, if the price is high, it is difficult to say, buddy, you have to come on, maybe the first Chinese boss of the Premier League will not be you." Lao Liu glanced at Jihai, I'm coming on, how can I come on, I don't skip grades when I upgrade, let's play year after year.

When he was visiting the Manchester City Honor Room, Jihai suddenly answered the phone, turned back to Lao Liu and said, "Look, today is really unlucky, just now Ranieri called me, saying that an FA official will meet him, and it will not be in the evening, so I can only take ten minutes to talk to you now, and he will say sorry to you in person." ”……

After Lao Liu entered Ranieri's office, Sun Jihai waited on the sofa outside, and began to wonder if he would find a few Chinese friends in Manchester to get together in the evening, after all, Lao Liu let the team go from London for nothing, and he wanted to enter the landlord's friendship, but before he could think about what to eat. The office door suddenly opened.

It's been less than five minutes, and Jihai is a little surprised.

The gray-haired Ranieri peeked out of the doorway, "Higgins, help me contact the FA's McLink, saying that I have an urgent matter today and can't join his appointment, and I'll go to his office early tomorrow morning." Then he pressed Jihai's shoulder, "Sun, find me the best Chinese restaurant, I'm going to invite Mr. Liu Luyi to dinner, oh, of course, and you." ”
