Young Football Player

After Klopp joined the team, someone at Liverpool finally organized the work.

Soon, the Liverpool team will be preparing to fly to Asia, and it's time to go there.

Of course, Liverpool's transfers and signings are still going on.

Southampton's Mane and Klein, Hoffenheim's Firmino, Aston Villa's Benteke, Manchester City's Milner, Charlton Athletic's Gomez, etc., all of which have connections with Liverpool. Players who will appear in the news.

But at the same time, the transfer rumors of Sterling on Liverpool's side have also intensified.

In fact, for Liverpool, although they know that Sterling's heart is no longer here, they still hope to keep his people as much as possible to help the team compete for the Premier League championship. , publicly stated that he would not participate in the team's Asian tour.

With the troubles already at this level, basically Sterling must leave.

Before the start of the Asian tour, the Liverpool club held a press conference and announced the new captain of the team in the future.

Without any surprises, Jackie Lee became the team's new captain, while Henderson became the vice-captain, and the newly joined Milner became the third captain.

In mid-July, Liverpool boarded a plane and began flying to Asia.

Liverpool's first stop was Singapore. As soon as the team landed, they were mobbed by crazy fans.

Although Singapore is only a city, its total population exceeds 5 million. It is definitely a big city. Of course, there are many fans here.

Moreover, this is the first stop of Liverpool's Asian tour, and some fans from other parts of Asia also came here to pick them up, such as nearby Malaysian fans.

"Bruce Lee~~~~Bruce Lee!!!"

Li Chenglong is undoubtedly the most popular star on the scene. He simply waved his hand to the sidelines, and he could win screams.

In Asia, celebrities in any industry will eventually develop towards fandom culture.

In Singapore, Lee Chenglong attended some commercial activities with the team, and then played a friendly match against the Home Affairs United of the Singapore League.

Singapore is just a city, so their league level is quite limited, and some teams from other countries have been added to make up the number, such as Japan's Niigata Swan II team, Brunei DPMM team and so on.

Home Affairs United is a team with a very strong atmosphere of the Singapore government, as can be seen from their initial team name, Singapore Police Football Club.

However, the strength of the Internal Affairs League is indeed very weak. Li Chenglong only played half of the game, almost walking slowly. Liverpool has already led 3-0. Li Chenglong also scored a goal, which made the fans very happy. Everyone is happy.

After finishing the activities in Singapore, Liverpool flew to Japan. The itinerary was basically the same as that in Singapore. I participated in some commercial activities and then played a friendly exhibition match.

But the fans in Japan are obviously more crazy. As soon as Lee Chenglong leaves the airport, he can hear the huge shout of "Li Sang Li Sang".

In the Yokohama Stadium where the 2002 World Cup final was held, Liverpool and the Yokohama Mariners played a friendly match.

Speaking of which, the Yokohama Mariners also have some relationship with the Premier League, because they have now been acquired by City Football Group, the parent company of Manchester City.

It has to be said that the oil tycoons are really rich. They set up a city football group, and then searched for those big city teams all over the world to buy them. This is the rhythm of planning to form a global league.

Although the purpose of the trip to Asia is to promote the team's reputation and earn some money by the way, Klopp still knows how to measure it.

The team also has to prepare for the new season.

So this time, Jackie Lee only played for 45 minutes, and overall he didn't perform much.

Fortunately, the team still won the game 2:1 without shame.

After finishing the trip to Japan, Liverpool will fly to China and will play a game against Bayern in the Bird's Nest.

Speaking of which, this is another time Uncle Zha is bald against melon.

Adidas also helped to arrange this game. This year Bayern happened to be on the side of Asia, so after the two parties negotiated, they planned to join forces for an exhibition match, which could win both sides by the way.

It has to be said that Bayern is indeed one of the teams in Europe that pays the most attention to the Chinese market.

For this game, they also brought their veteran DJ Lehman, who has served the team for many years, to China to prepare an authentic Champions League final-level confrontation for Chinese fans.

Yes, although Liverpool and Bayern have never met in the Champions League final, the two teams are six-time Champions League champions and five-time champions respectively, and they are currently one of the strongest teams in European football. Publicity is a Champions League final-level battle.

On July 25, the Champions League final-level battle between Liverpool and Bayern started in the Bird's Nest.

In the entrance ceremony before the game, the Bayern DJ really made the atmosphere very lively.

Jackie Chan is also without a doubt the most popular player in the game.

As for the real competition, it was quite exciting, at least it was quite lively watching the scene.

The two teams have a tacit understanding of each other and play football that emphasizes offense and despise defense, just blindly pursuing offense.

Bayern took a 2-0 lead in the opening 20 minutes, and then Lee Chenglong scored a pass and scored to help Liverpool equalize.

Then Coutinho scored another goal to help Liverpool overtake the score.

But in more than 80 minutes, Bayern equalized the score again, and then completed an overtime lore.

Although Liverpool lost the game, the effect of this exhibition game was played out, and it was indeed full of performances.

In an interview after the game, Li Chenglong also became the target of Chinese reporters scrambling to hand over the microphone.

When Li Chenglong was asked whether the Chinese team had a chance to enter the next World Cup in Russia, he said: "It should be very likely. There are four places in Asia that can directly qualify for the World Cup, and the remaining half of the places. Asia has drawn North America and has a great chance of qualifying."

"So, in the next World Cup, there are likely to be five Asian teams participating, and China still has a chance."

In the just-concluded world preliminaries draw, North America was drawn in Asia, and Oceania was drawn in South America.

Successfully avoided the strongest South American team, the fifth-ranked team in Asia, indeed had a good chance of getting a ticket to Russia.

However, with the current ranking of seventh in Asia, it is hard to say whether the Chinese team can grab that half of the spot.

After the Asian tour, Liverpool flew back to Europe immediately, and really had to prepare for the new season.

Since Liverpool is the champion of the Champions League, the new season will have to participate in two more events, the European Super Cup and the Club World Cup, and the schedule will definitely be more intense.

Moreover, Liverpool will also charge towards the Premier League championship in the new season, and these must be prepared in advance.

The new season of the Premier League will start in early August, and there is not much time left for Liverpool.

Klopp needs to quickly adjust the lineup and implement his own tactical play.
