Young Football Player

After the European preliminaries, Li Chenglong can really rest.

But he has to hurry up for the rest, and Liverpool officials are already preparing for the trip to Asia.

After Liverpool reached the Champions League final, the negotiations between the club and Adidas had a breakthrough.

As soon as the season ended, Adidas became Liverpool's new sponsor.

Then with the help of Adi, there was this trip to Asia while the iron was hot.

He just won the Champions League, so of course he has to go out and collect money.

Adidas will also look for opportunities. They also saw Liverpool winning the Champions League back then, so they quickly looked for opportunities to sign Liverpool and made money for several years.

Later, as soon as Liverpool fell, Adi abandoned Liverpool.

Now Liverpool won the Champions League again, so Adi came again.

But this is also the norm in football. If you have no value yourself, you will only be abandoned by others.

Not only football, but all walks of life around the world are like a bird.

Now that Adi sees the value of Liverpool, he is willing to pay a high price. Of course, Liverpool will not make trouble with money.

And Adi's willingness to pay a high price is more or less related to Li Chenglong's playing here.

Leading the team to win the Champions League for two consecutive years, the overall value of Jackie Lee is no less than that of Messi, of course Adi must pay attention.

In fact, it's not just the price increase of jersey sponsors. After winning the Champions League this time, Liverpool's various values ​​have risen, and those who happened to have their contracts expired and were about to renew were basically slaughtered.

According to the British tabloid, Liverpool's championship this year has brought a total value increase of 400 million pounds to the Liverpool team and the city of Liverpool.

After playing all kinds of games, Jackie Lee took his family to the Mediterranean Sea to bask in the sun. By the way, he also brought his new teammate Andrew Robertson.

The season has just ended, and Liverpool officially announced their first summer transfer signing, signing Hull City full-back Andrew Robertson for £7 million.

In fact,

This signing did not attract much attention. On the one hand, Hull City was relegated, and it is normal for the players in the team to disperse.

The second is that Robertson's strength has not been recognized. Everyone thinks that Liverpool just signed a backup full-back at will, and most of them signed it so readily because of Jackie Lee's face.

Jackie Chan and Robertson are old teammates of Dundee United, and they have a very good relationship. The English media basically knows about it.

In fact, the most hyped Liverpool news in the English media at present is the departure or retention of three important personnel.

One is Sterling, but Coutinho, and the third is Rodgers.

To be fair, Sterling was the second most important player in the Liverpool team after Jackie Lee last season, and it is normal for other teams to look at him.

At present, Manchester City and Paris are all eyeing Sterling, and even the Spanish media said that Real Madrid is also very interested in him.

And Sterling had been unhappy with the Liverpool management because of the contract renewal issue before, but it was suppressed at the time.

Today, he is the most likely player to leave Liverpool.

As for Coutinho, since he joined Liverpool from Inter Milan in early 2013, he has improved every year, and his strength has become more and more recognized.

In this year's Champions League final, Lee Chenglong was naturally the best and most shining one. He wore the cap in the final and participated in the team's four goals.

However, Coutinho's performance is also very good. He passed and shot in the final and participated in a total of three goals for the team. It can be said that he is the player who performed second only to Jackie Lee in the Champions League final.

And it was also after the Champions League final that Barcelona took a fancy to Coutinho. Recently, there have been continuous news that they want to take him to the Nou Camp.

As for Rodgers, it was the same old routine. He became the coach of the Champions League champion and began to be snapped up by various teams, especially Paris.

According to the French media, Paris wanted to pack Rogers, Jackie Chan and Sterling together, and directly hollow out Liverpool's main champions.

Li Chenglong publicly stated that he would continue to stay in Liverpool, but the other two were still ambiguous.

When the European transfer market is about to start to be lively, the Copa America in South America continues in Chile.

A total of 10 teams participated in this America's Cup, and eight of them can qualify for the group stage, so there should be no problem for the strong teams to qualify for the group stage.

In the end, Argentina and Brazil, the two favorites to win the championship, succeeded in qualifying first in the group, but according to the draw, they are in the same half.

In other words, if nothing else happens, Brazil and Argentina will meet early in the semifinals.

However, the result of the quarterfinals was a surprise. The two favorites in the same half region did not play well.

Argentina drew 0-0 with Colombia in the quarter-finals and advanced through a penalty shootout.

Although it was a bit difficult, the Pampas Eagles advanced anyway.

But as for Brazil, they drew 1:1 with Paraguay in the quarter-finals, and then lost to each other in a penalty shootout, and were directly eliminated.

In last year's World Cup, Brazil reached the semi-finals.

But in today's America's Cup, Brazil was out in the quarterfinals, and it was lost to Paraguay, a team that didn't make it to the World Cup at all.

Speaking of which, this is not the first time Brazil has been eliminated by Paraguay.

In the 2011 Copa America, Brazil was eliminated by Paraguay in the quarterfinals, and it was also a penalty shootout.

But there is a difference between this year and then.

Out of the game that year, Brazil played 120 minutes without scoring the opponent's goal, and was eliminated by a penalty shootout.

This year's Copa America, Brazil played only 90 minutes.

The main reason is that the South American Football Association has played a new trick. They stipulate that in the knockout rounds except for the final, the game is tied in 90 minutes and then a direct penalty shootout. This makes the weaker team more likely to be upset. Just make sure A clean sheet for 90 minutes can go to a "fair" penalty shootout.

Thus, Brazil became the first victim.

Brazil is out, which makes Messi fans very happy. They basically think that this is God's help, and Messi's chance to win the championship has come.

The last time Argentina won an international championship was already 22 years ago when Batistuta and Redondo led the team. If Messi can help Argentina win an international championship again after many years, it will definitely It can greatly improve his football status.

In the next semi-finals, it really looked like that. Argentina eliminated Brazil's dark horse Paraguay 6:1, clearly aiming for the championship trophy.

But in the final against the host Chile, Argentina couldn't score in 90 minutes, and still couldn't score in 120 minutes, so they had to enter a penalty shootout.

At home, the Chilean team made four free throws. Although Messi took the lead in Argentina, Higuain kicked a penalty kick. Banega's penalty was saved by Bravo. Chile successfully won the penalty shootout. China defeated Argentina 4:1 and successfully won the 2015 Copa America.
