Section 633 The Journey of Asia

(Cat flutter Chinese) Before he had been in Liverpool for long, Zhao Yaning began to pack his bags again and prepare to return home with the team.

Liverpool's four-game schedule is not very tight, Singapore plays one against the Singapore national team, then in Hong Kong, plays one game against Hong Kong South China, then Shanghai and Beijing, the last game against Beijing is on August 4, after the game is back, the first game after returning is the Community Shield on August 12, with a week of rest in between.

In fact, Liverpool FC meant that they had planned to schedule another friendly after the Community Shield, and then start the league on August 19. But Benitez rejected the idea: FIFA syndrome has always been a scary thing, and it's tiring to go to Asia to play friendlies after the tournament, so it's better to take a while to get used to the rhythm.

Zhao Yaning also agrees with this - he doesn't care about himself, but his teammates are tired for a summer. They played 60 games last season, and there may be 60 games this season, so they still need to rest for such a dense game.

He did not object to this, expressing his approval of Benitez. This softened the attitude of the two people, but except when they were in the team, they still ignored each other.

There was nothing difficult about the game, it was an inconsequential exhibition match anyway, the first game against Singapore, the Liverpool players only played half of the team, and won with a 40, and when they turned to Hong Kong, they won the game with another 32 wins.

After arriving in Shanghai, Liverpool was also warmly welcomed.

'I can't really imagine that we're training with the fans, so noisy, we can't train – and it's not a bad feeling. All the way to the hotel, everyone was still talking, "There are so many fans in Asia." ”

"I signed for almost an hour today, and I was so popular." Reina had a smile on his face, "I've never signed so many names in my life. ”

"There are a lot of people in Asia." Zhao Yaning smiled, "How many people are there in Liverpool?" In a city of 400,000 people, fans have been divided a lot by Everton, and even if you are a fan, you don't necessarily like your bald head. How many people are there in Shanghai? There are many people, and there are always a few aesthetic weirdness. In a city of 20 million people, the number of fans must be different. ”

"I finally kind of understand why you don't care so much about money. With such a large market, you really don't have to worry about money. ”

Countries that are backward in football always have the benefits of countries that are backward in football. Zhao Yaning's current commercial sponsorship is enough to surprise everyone in football. Zhao Yaning's current income is nearly 30 million euros a year, but even so, there are still many media who suspect that Zhao Yaning is hiding his income in order to evade taxes, and even experts in England have given data - Zhao Yaning doesn't know why these experts like to get along with football players so much - they believe that Zhao Yaning's income is less than 30 million, so it must be a fraud.

But what if it's fake? Which of them has the ability to come to China to find out what Zhao Yaning got through the Football Association? It's just some nonsense, and Zhao Yaning naturally doesn't pay attention to them. In fact, Zhao Yaning has always been lacking in commercial promotion, and he doesn't even recognize a few, so he doesn't bother to pay attention to those. His business was all thrown to Kodia and Zhang Yuan. This has always made his teammates feel strange: Zhao Yaning's agent is very average and he can't get many contracts, but Zhao Yaning has never cared much about it.

And when they got to Asia, they finally understood why. The market behind Zhao Yaning is too big, no matter how much Zhao Yaning despises commercial publicity, he will not be short of money to spend. There is no need for him to be as ugly as other players, anyway, who can compete with him for sponsorship with these Chinese people?

And China's vast market has also made several teammates try their best to express themselves. On the first night of his arrival in Shanghai, Zhao Yaning did nothing else, but taught them Chinese for half a day, so that they could go for an interview and express their friendship to China, in the hope of getting some money in Zhao Yaning's light......

But there are also different currents - such as Fowler, after seeing the map and population figures of Shanghai, his old man has been contacting his company, hoping to make his land speculation company - this makes Zhao Yaning very helpless, this guy is still a moral model in the textbook, how can he make money so big?

Zhao Yaning doesn't care much about money himself, but he can't let others not care. While others were thinking about business, Zhao Yaning himself withdrew his mind and observed a few new players. On this trip to Asia, except for Mascherano who did not negotiate, several other people have already come with the team.

Liverpool have brought in several players this season, and Zhao Yaning estimates that Walcott's growth will also give him more opportunities to play. And in these games, Walcott and Baines, Zhao Yaning have also been observing.

Walcott's technical characteristics are clearly that he is more of a winger than a wing-back. His coordination ability is really poor enough, not to mention Figo, even Garcia's skills, he is difficult to catch up. However, after all, he has speed and is willing to work hard, Zhao Yaning estimates that if he plays according to the mode of a winger, he can still have some potential.

And Baines made Zhao Yaning a little worried: his technical characteristics are also biased towards attack rather than defense. He's got good crosses, he's got good technique, and as a full-back, it's very clear that he's strong and weak. Zhao Yaning has always hoped that the left-back would rather have a defensive type, and it would be better to activate the attacking ability of the right wing-back's McConn. But now it looks like if you want Baynes to play to her strengths, you have to let McCondo take care of it.

Spain's Arbeloa, on the other hand, played decently. He's average, and he's better than anyone at the back, but he's at least solid and well-rounded enough as a rotation player who can play in three positions. Such a player was bought for only 3 million pounds, and it was indeed Liverpool who earned it.

However, as the biggest reinforcement Kuyt so far this summer, Zhao Yaning was a little surprised. As a striker, his skills are really ...... Zhao Yaning has really never seen a striker who has won the Golden Boot, and his stopping skills can be rotten to this extent. And he can also pull the side, but the long pass is a way of kicking the ball into the sky, which also makes Zhao Yaning feel really unacceptable.

Ruud van Nistelrooy is also the Eredivisie Golden Boot, and Kuyt is also the Eredivisie Golden Boot, why is there such a big difference between the two? Looking at the Golden Boots of Manchester United, and then looking at their own Eredivisie Golden Boots, Zhao Yaning was a little speechless.

However, Zhao Yaning couldn't open his mouth to accuse him: although his skills were really bad, when he was on the field, he did run actively enough. Similar physical strength to Zhao Yaning, as active as Gerrard, coupled with his quite good tactical execution ability and counter-robbery ability, although Zhao Yaning is dissatisfied with his skills, he is satisfied with his attitude - after all, this person has won the Golden Boot, there should always be something outstanding, right? With such a good attitude, he will definitely be able to kick it out, and Zhao Yaning is also thinking about how to help him.

It's just that how to give full play to his strength as soon as possible, Zhao Yaning still can't think of it after thinking about it. His thinking is still fixed, and he still hopes to try to hone his skills slowly, such an attitude, once the skills come up, he will definitely be a top star.

But technological progress ...... It seems to be the hardest part.

Such a desire is good, but these two games, but it is difficult to hone out immediately, to the game against Shenhua, Zhao Yaning is to play the whole game, the game is played evenly, there is no problem, Liverpool early 30 lead began to make a large substitution, in the second half Shenhua although chased three goals in a row, but substitute Walcott scored another goal, the result was 43 to win.

But what really shocked Zhao Yaning was that Zhu Jun, the owner of the Shenhua team, ran up directly by himself in the second half.

What are you doing here? When Zhao Yaning saw him, he didn't even know what to say.

Football has been on fire in the past two years - under the call of Zhao Yaning, the domestic football market has indeed developed well. But Zhu Jun's approach made Zhao Yaning not know what to say. A football match is not a dinner party, even if it is a friendly match, you can't do that.

At this time, the game was already coming to an end, and after it was over, Zhu Jun also came over and took his jersey and directly found Zhao Yaning, Zhao Yaning took the jersey, but still smiled bitterly, "Boss Zhu, you have gone too far." ”

Zhao Yaning wants football to develop, but it is definitely not this way. Football needs people who do things, not people who make a splash. Zhao Yaning can imagine how such an approach will be ridiculed by foreigners.

It's not enough, others laugh, but Zhao Yaning can't.

"I think that if Chinese football wants to develop, what it needs is Mr. Zhu's attention, of course, it is better to pay a little attention to the way." After the game, in front of the media, Zhao Yaning still praised him after the game, but he did not forget to remind, "It is normal to have a love for football, but if you perform through abnormal channels, it will not have a good impact on football." I admire Mr. Zhu's strong technical ability as the chairman of a team, but his identity is different, and I hope he will show his support in a more appropriate way. ”

Although he did feel that Zhu Jun was doing some nonsense, Zhao Yaning still didn't say anything. It's always a good thing that someone is willing to devote themselves to football, no matter how wrong Zhu Jun is, he is also an investor in football, and, in comparison, it is better than those who just take football as an investment or as a task. Although his methods are not advisable, Zhao Yanning does not want to discourage his enthusiasm, and it may not be a good thing to say a few nice words to him in exchange for more people's investment interest.

After this game, Liverpool also arrived at the Beijing Workers Stadium, where they shook hands with the Guoan team with a score of 33 and ended the summer game.

"The Workers' Stadium is indeed the home of the devil......" Zhao Yaning said after the game.

He is not interested in winning a big game in Gongti: he is the captain of the national team, and the home stadium of the national team is his home stadium, is it fun to smoke himself? Moreover, Liverpool have a game in a week, and at this time, why be so serious about a friendly match?

As for winning a game to sober up the Chinese team: Didn't the Chinese team not lose back then, sober? The media propaganda has always been one-sided, when did they pay attention to the bad luck? With Zhao Yaning here, what kind of result cannot be said to be good.

"That's the end of the Asia trip...... I always feel like I can't get enough of it......"

On the way back, several people were still talking, and Zhao Yaning only smiled at this, "Friendly match, don't be so serious." The following matches are the real focus of the game. I haven't won the Community Shield yet, and this time, it's time to add another medal to the honor book. ”——
