In Hong Kong, Liverpool has always been the most popular team, as we all know, Hong Kong was once a colony of the British Empire, so it is deeply influenced by British culture, and Hong Kong fans' love for British football can be said to be deep in the bone marrow. Over the years, Hong Kong fans have also experienced the strength of Manchester United in the 90s, the gorgeousness of the Gunners, and the rise of cars, but Liverpool's popularity in Hong Kong is still incomparable to the above-mentioned teams, which has little to do with the team's performance, and has nothing to do with how many handsome guys there are in the team, it can only be said to be a precipitation of feelings.

With the addition of Chen Yu, Liverpool's status in the hearts of Hong Kong fans has become more lofty, and for many fans, Liverpool's status is even higher than that of the unsuccessful national team and the Hong Kong team.

This is also the main reason why a friendly Asian Premier League Cup will be hot, Hong Kong Stadium tickets are sold out early, and the first-class seats are even speculated to thousands of yuan.

In the first game of the Asian Premier League Cup the next day, when the Hong Kong South China team and the Liverpool team came out of the locker room in turn, Liverpool received even warmer applause than the Hong Kong South China team, especially Chen Yu, who received a sea of applause and cheers from the fans.

This is not easy, because Hong Kong South China is the first Chinese football team in Asia, and it is also the oldest football club in East Asia, even compared with Liverpool, it is only 12 years younger, he has reached the Asian Champions Cup final, has a glorious history and a deep fan base.

Chen Yu also understood that he was equivalent to coming to the home stadium, and there were many fans at the scene who came to him alone, and it is said that in just three days, nearly a million of his jerseys were sold.

Although this sales figure cannot be considered astronomical in terms of historical history, Chinese fans have always liked to buy pirated and knock-off products, and this time it was a surprise that so many fans were able to buy genuine Liverpool shirts.

Chen Yu waved his hand to greet the fans, and the fans at the scene were immediately excited, expressing their love to Chen Yu with more enthusiastic applause.

Liverpool's captain Steven Gerrard saw that Chen Yu was so popular and completely became the focus of the stadium, they all seemed to have become Chen Yu's foil, and couldn't help but say to Chen Yu: "It seems that you should not come, you came, we were all forgotten by the fans." ”

Chen Yu said with a smile: "Then you can perform better in the game, score a goal, and you will be able to attract the attention of fans, well, maybe you can capture the hearts of many female fans." ”

Gerard smiled bitterly: "I don't believe this at all, even if you look like a ****, I promise that you will get the most applause." ”

Team deputy Carragher interjected: "Actually, it is enough for fans to see Chen Yu, even if he only plays on the field for a few minutes. The fanaticism of the fans is unimaginable. ”

Chen Yu said: "Okay, okay, I won't score today, watch your performance." ”

Gerrard hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't, don't, this is your first warm-up game, not only the fans of your country, but also the fans of the whole world are waiting to see your watch, our new teammates also want to weigh your pounds, you can't let them down, just score two less, give us a little chance to show your performance." ”

Gerrard said and thumped Chen Yu's strong chest, and turned to the captain of the Hong Kong South China team to exchange the team flag and team emblem before the game.

“…… Serie A two league titles, a Champions League champion, a Premier League league champion, a Champions League champion, three top league top scorers, three European Golden Boots, Chen Yu has become the strongest star in the world, what he lacks now is only a crown, maybe by the end of this year, Chinese will have a World Footballer and European Footballer ......"

At this moment, the Hong Kong commentator on the scene is also introducing Chen Yu to the fans with an extremely proud voice, although Chen Yu's brilliant achievements have long been familiar to fans, but after the commentator's processing, the fans are still like the first time to hear the surprise, from time to time burst into a burst of warm applause.

“…… Liverpool's starting line-up today is: goalkeeper Carson; Bottom four: Arbeloa, Carragher, Ager, Reese; Midfielders: Benayoun, Alonso, Gerrard, Colwill; Forwards: Chen Yu, Volenin...... Babbel didn't play, and it seems that this game is mainly about examining Benayoun and Volenen, as for Chen Yu, this is the absolute main force, and he is more about meeting the requirements of sponsors and fans in addition to running-in......"

Although Hong Kong fans are familiar with the South China players, the commentators are more popular when they announce the names of the Liverpool stars, with waves of applause and even singing the famous song "You Will Never Go Alone".

The game started with singing and Liverpool kicking off first.

In the face of opponents who were much weaker than themselves, Liverpool opened very easily, not rushing to attack at all, but patiently passing the ball back and horizontally, playing the Hong Kong South China team like a cat and mouse, attracting them, and then using a quick counterattack to attack.

The Hong Kong South China team is not stupid, they are a real defensive counterattack, but now it is a friendly match, not a real league and Asian Champions Cup and other events, since Liverpool is not actively attacking, giving them space to play the ball, Hong Kong South China team is not conservative, but boldly attacking forward in the case of retaining a complete back line, and the players are also determined to show Xiàn in front of the world's top giants Liverpool, as if fighting at home.

Liverpool's players played a little too relaxed, giving the Hong Kong South China team space to attack, in their opinion, a team that is only a little better than the Premier League amateur team can create any threat to them, but they never thought that the short pass of the Hong Kong South China team is quite smooth, and the characteristics of the Chinese player Xiao Kuailing are brought into full play, after continuous short passes, the foreign aid of the Hong Kong South China team, Santos, broke through the cross from Reese, and Chen Weihao grabbed a header in the small penalty area to hit the goal, The ball was punched out by the young England No.2 goalkeeper Carson.

Due to the speed of Chen Weihao's ball, Carson did not have time to choose a direction in a hurry, and when the ball flew to the midfield, it was obtained by Li Haiqiang, a former mainland B player, and the current captain of the South China team, Li Haiqiang, shot directly at the ball, and the ball hung in the corner of the goal 40 meters away.

Liverpool goalkeeper Carson had just saved the ball and before he could get back into position, the ball was whizzing and he desperately tried to save the ball, but Li Haiqiang's shot was extremely tricky, and the ball flew into the goal against the post.

1：0

Just five minutes into the game, the Hong Kong South China team unexpectedly took the lead.

Fans, journalists and commentators couldn't believe their eyes, and it was only when the players of the Hong Kong South China team celebrated wildly that they jumped into cheer.

For the South Chinese team, it was a victory to score a goal against Liverpool, and the goal was achieved in the opening five minutes, and their manager Milu was also very excited, jumping up and running into the field to hug Li Haiqiang, who scored the world wave.

The commentator at the scene roared in surprise: "...... Scored! Scored! It was the South China team that scored the goal! Captain Li Haiqiang, our best player in the Hong Kong League, he became the first player to score, he stole the limelight from Chen Yu, many people thought that the first goal should be Liverpool's Chen Yu......"

The Liverpool players never expected to concede a goal, and they conceded it so early, and the goal they conceded was not conceded after they took a big lead, which made them very angry.

Captain Gerrard shouted at Reese and the defenders, including goalkeeper Carson: "Be positive, do you want to lose this game and set a record?!" ”

Benitez, who was sitting firmly in the coach's box, couldn't sit still, he forced his composure to the sidelines, and made forward gestures to the players, allowing them to attack and compress the space for the South China team to pass.

The game started again, and the South China team took the initiative to shrink and adopt a half-court defensive approach to fend off Liverpool's attack.

However, the gap in strength between the two sides is too big, regardless of technical and tactical literacy, physical quality, and personal skills, Liverpool is too high, although the South China team contracted the defense, but was still forced to retreat step by step, and was suppressed by Liverpool near their own penalty area and resisted stubbornly.

At this moment, many fans from the mainland began to shout "Chen Yu! Enter one! ”

Soon this shout drove the stands of the entire stadium, and about 30,000 fans chanted together, "Chen Yu! Enter one! ”

Chen Yu was also lazy, can't lift the spirit, now the Nanhua team took the lead in scoring, Chen Yu played a spirit, immediately realized, if not serious, maybe it will get worse later, although the strength of the Nanhua team is very weak, but after all, there is a home advantage, the fighting spirit is very strong, if the luck is a little better, there is even the possibility of scoring another goal.

Liverpool will never allow a team like Nanhua to score two goals, Benitez made it clear at the pre-game team meeting that he can only concede one goal, or in the case of a big lead, and now the first goal has reached Liverpool's bottom line, and they must exert their strength.

The first to exert force is Chen Yu, in the face of the Nanhua team's iron bucket formation, Chen Yu took the ball with his back in the center position, leaned the defender, and quickly pulled the ball and turned around.

There was more than one player in the Nanhua team staring at Chen Yu, Chen Yu passed the first player, and the second defender shoveled the ball for the first time, but after Chen Yu pulled the ball and turned around, he pulled it very coherently and shook off the second player again.

There was a round of applause at the scene, Chen Yu's first pass was to win with strength and speed, and the second pass was definitely a superhuman skill.

However, Chen Yu passed the second and the third, and the third defender saw that Chen Yu was too flexible, and was worried that he would not be able to destroy Chen Yu's ball under his feet, so he simply reached out and grabbed Chen Yu's jersey.

Chen Yu finished the second person and then made the next move, whether there were defensive players or not, in the dense crowd, he had to do such an evasive action, but he didn't expect that the defensive players did not get down, and actually pulled his jersey, Chen Yu lost his balance and was pulled by the defenders to sit directly on the lawn.

Force!

The referee's whistle blew and a free-kick was awarded.

The free kick is about 23 meters away from the goal, which is a distance from the club's curling ball around the human wall and heavy artillery can be used.

Liverpool has many good free-kick takers, this distance Reese, Gerrard and Alonso can be punished, but this is the Chinese territory, Gerrard, Reese and Alonso have all ceded this opportunity to Chen Yu.

When the team was behind, Chen Yu also stood in front of the free kick.

Standing in front of the Nanhua team is Zhang Chunhui, the best goalkeeper of the Hong Kong Group A League, but in the face of Chen Yu, Zhang Chunhui's heart has been beating the drum, he knows who his opponent is, that is Chen Yu, who is invincible all over Europe, the favorite candidate for the next World Footballer, of course, if he can save Chen Yu's free kick, he will definitely become famous with a goal.

Chen Yu observed the human wall, the height and standing position of the goalkeeper, and then took three steps back, quietly waiting for the referee's whistle.

After the whistle, Chen Yu trotted three steps, vigorously rubbed a banana ball with his right foot and flew around the human wall to the upper left corner of the goal.

Chen Yu's ball is not very powerful, but the angle is awkward, the speed is fast, if you want to save such a ball, in addition to the goalkeeper's prediction, it depends on his reaction speed, bounce speed and height, as well as height and arm span.

These are all talents, Chen Yu believes that a goalkeeper of the Hong Kong South China team cannot have such a high talent, otherwise he will definitely not play in this small team.

Sure enough, although Zhang Chunhui carefully studied Chen Yu and predicted which direction Chen Yu was kicking, his reaction, bounce, height and arm span were not enough, and he could only watch the ball fly into the goal from in front of him.

1：1

Chen Yu used a free kick to help Liverpool equalize in the eighth minute.
