Liverpool had been raining all year round, and it was the kind of misty light rain, not big, but very wet.

When you are in a good mood, when you encounter this kind of rain, you will have the artistic conception of "the light rain in the sky street is as moist as a crisp, and the grass color is close but there is nothing", but if you are in a bad mood and upset, when you encounter this kind of rain, you will feel that "it rains a lot during the Qingming Festival, and pedestrians on the road want to break their souls." ”

But there is a very strange mood, the mood doesn't matter whether it is good or bad, but it is a little irritable, a little worried, just between the former and the latter, which makes the feeling very different, just like Yang Cheng now.

In the park of the community, he put on a sweatshirt and hat, ran along the path, let the rain fall on his body, his face was full of water, but he squinted, looked ahead, and kept running.

Last night he met with Florentino, Piri and Putragno, and the Real Madrid Big Three were really sincere, and Florentino personally promised to agree to all his coaching conditions, and at the same time offered him a top annual salary that exceeded that of any superstar in the Real Madrid team and a lot more than Mourinho.

In addition, Florentino also assured that Yang Cheng's image rights club would make an exception for him to keep personally, and he promised that he would definitely make Yang Cheng's image rights to a higher level.

You know, today's Yang Cheng is already the most influential brand in the field of football, not long ago Fox announced the value ranking of world sports brands in the past year, in terms of clubs, Manchester United continues to occupy the first place in the world, Real Madrid ranks second, and the two giants have surpassed the New York Yankees baseball team.

But in the list of sports stars, Yang Cheng is the only head coach to make the cut, and the only one in the top 30, with a brand value of $136.5 million. Ranked first among all sports stars, surpassing golf king, Tiger Woods, with $103 million.

In addition, Yang Cheng occupies the first place in the three major rankings of online ranking, media ranking and TV ranking, and his appearance rate even exceeds that of Barcelona's double footballer Ronaldinho, the Barcelona star is worth $31 million, and the online ranking is only third, and his TV ranking has fallen to 17th.

Another interesting statistic is that the brand value of the entire Barcelona team is only $130 million. The loss was a fraction of that to Yang Cheng, who ranks 8th in sports team brand value, ahead of the American baseball team Boston Red Sox and the football team Washington Red Skins.

Among the brand value of the event, the brand value of the World Cup is $103 million.

That is, in terms of brand value. Caesar? Yang Cheng surpassed sports superstars such as Kobe, Beckham, O'Neill and Federer to rank first on the individual list, and he is also worth more than the entire Barcelona team and the World Cup.

This is an incredible business achievement for individuals, and what has created all this is undoubtedly Yang Cheng's outstanding achievements over the years, as well as Heidi, who silently planned and promoted this brand building for him behind his back? Krum and Sienna? Miller, these two strong women have joined forces to create this successful sports brand.

And precisely because of success. Therefore, Florentino's guarantee to Yang Cheng became even more tempting, because no one knew what level Yang Cheng's brand would reach if it rushed forward.

Of course, this is only to give Yang Cheng the temptation from the perspective of fame and fortune, but Florentino also knows that Yang Cheng is not only interested in money, he also values trust, power and environment. So in these respects, he also gave Yang Cheng enough weight to promise that he would get all the power he could get at Liverpool at Real Madrid.

This is undoubtedly a huge concession.

It should be said that Florentino went north to Liverpool this time, opened the biggest bargaining chip he could give, and gave the greatest sincerity, but even so. Yang Cheng still did not give a direct affirmative answer.

He only tactfully persuaded Florentino that he should continue to stay in Real Madrid, and as for whether to take charge of Real Madrid next season, Yang Cheng said that he would consider it after the season. But until the season is over, he will not say anything and give any promises.

This is also Yang Cheng's consistent style!

Florentino talked with Yang Cheng for a night, and finally he knew that he could not convince Yang Cheng to give a promise immediately, so he said that he would continue to stay in the position of Real Madrid president and wait, but he also gave the bottom line, hoping that Yang Cheng would give him an answer after the Champions League final, and Yang Cheng agreed. ..., running around the park, Yang Cheng returned home out of breath, pushed the door in, took off his somewhat wet hat, took off the sneakers on his feet, and put them on the shoe cabinet to dry, and Sienna gave a towel on the side.

"Thank you!" Yang Cheng took it, wiped the rain on his face, and walked upstairs barefoot to take a bath.

Sienna was dressed in loose thin cotton pajamas, which looked like a dress, her blonde hair was tied back into a ponytail, the bangs in front were a little messy, but they had a different taste, her hands were wrapped around her chest, revealing her perfect chest shape and the bump on it, leaning against the wall next to the bathroom door, and she didn't say anything.

Avril went to Germany yesterday morning, she came to Liverpool last night, and happened to hear about the meeting between Yang Cheng and Florentino, from the perspective of a businessman, she felt that Yang Cheng had no reason to oppose joining Real Madrid, which would definitely greatly enhance his fame and influence.

Even when Yang Cheng came to Liverpool from Inter Milan, Sienna was more opposed in her heart, because Liverpool could not provide Real Madrid, Manchester United, or even Chelsea, but Yang Cheng just said that he was going to Liverpool, and then no one said anything.

It's the same this time!

Sienna will not express any opinion on this matter, she is a smart woman, she knows when to do something, she will not say anything until Yang Cheng has made a decision, but once Yang Cheng has made a decision, she will fully support and cooperate.

After taking a shower, Yang Cheng and Sienna sat at the dining table and ate breakfast face to face.

Yang Cheng always eats very quickly. It seems to be in a hurry, gobbling it up.

"Slow down, it's not good for your stomach!" Sienna learning from Heidi? Krum's tone complained, and he handed over a glass of water, "People in their thirties, if you don't pay attention to maintenance, your stomach has not been very good." It's because you eat too fast. ”

Yang Cheng raised his eyes, glanced at her, and shook his head with a smile, "You are like a housekeeper!" ”

"I can't control you!" Sienna sneered, this man. It's so ambitious that no one can control it.

Yang Cheng smiled and didn't say anything, but continued his devouring plan.

"By the way, there is a document later, you can sign it!" Sienna almost forgot.

Yang Cheng nodded, and after eating, he came to the living room. I picked up a few documents on the table, didn't look at them, and picked up a pen on the table to sign my name.

"Please, can you take a closer look at the documents when you sign them?" Sienna gave him a blank look.

"Haven't you seen it?" Yang Cheng felt funny, "By the way, what are these documents?" ”

"You'll be sold by me sooner or later!" Sienna glared at him angrily, "I mentioned to you earlier that a friend has a luxury villa for sale on the shores of Lake Windermere. I think the price is quite cheap, you said you want to buy, this is the transfer document. ”

Yang Cheng thought about it very hard, as if there was such a thing, "Oh, that flooded town!" ”

Lake Windermere is one of the most beautiful lakes in the UK, about a hundred kilometres north of Liverpool. It's only an hour and a half to two hours by car, and it's one of England's most famous holiday destinations.

Before Sienna? Miller strongly recommends Yang Cheng to travel, and said that there is a romantic poet who said, "Lake Windermere can make people forget the differences in life, age, wealth." It's easy to get lost in the beauty and lose track of time, feeling like you've been in the sky for a day and ten years on earth. ”

Yang Cheng happily pulled her up to go on a tandem tour, but when she went to that place, she found that there was no beautiful scenery, a large area of the town near the lake was flooded by the lake, and it was said that the water was rising, and even the lake was not allowed to go, and the swans were ashore.

"What's flooded, that's the character of Lake Windermere, okay?" Sienna giggled at his exaggerated expression, she really, really liked that place, it was so beautiful.

Yang Cheng shrugged his shoulders, "Anyway, you can just like it." "His house is indeed quite a few, especially in the last two or three years, Sienna and Heidi? Krum is optimistic about real estate, so he bought a lot of cost-effective mansions for Yang Cheng.

Aside from the previous mansion on the shore of Lake Como, which has appreciated many times, Yang Cheng also has a luxury villa in the water city of Venice, and he also bought a half-mountain mansion in Hollywood, USA, plus he also bought a luxury house near the sea in Dubai last year, his house is really too many to live in. ..., these are just the houses in his name, not his name, there is a large piece of land in his hometown, and there is a gift he gave to Charlize on the Gold Coast of Australia? Theron's farm, plus Yang Cheng bought a secluded idyllic mansion in Frankfurt for Heidi? Krum, London to Sienna? A luxury villa in Miller, he has bought a lot of properties over the years.

But don't really say it, these houses are very good in terms of location and environment, and they will definitely appreciate in value when you put them in your hands.

For real estate, he didn't care too much, almost every place was carefully selected, so they all appreciated, the most obvious is the one on the shore of Lake Como, which has doubled nearly 10 times in the past few years, if it was someone else, it would be happy, but Yang Cheng decided to stay and live by himself, and the other houses are the same.

Perhaps because he still has a deep traditional Chinese complex in his bones, he still feels that real estate is more solid than money, and he is quite possessive, and he refuses to sell if he likes it.

His ideal life is to go to the north of England in the summer, where it is cooler, to go to the Gold Coast of Australia in the winter, where it is warmer, and to Italy, France, Germany and other places in the spring and autumn.

Wow, I don't know how much to moisturize that day!

After a week's rest, Liverpool recuperated at Anfield to welcome Charlton Athletic.

This time, Yang Cheng did his best to play, goalkeeper Reina, and the backline was Reese, Vidic, Carragher and Glenn? Johnson, midfielders Essien, Michael Carrick and Steven Gerrard. The front trident is Ronaldo, Drogba and Arjen Robben.

Liverpool, who were rated by the European media as the most lethal squad in Europe this season, slaughtered Charlton Athletic at Anfield Stadium, leading Charlton Athletic 4-0 in the first half with a brace from Didier Drogba, Ronaldo Jr. and Steven Gerrard.

After the restart-up in the second half, Liverpool made two substitutions, bringing on Ronaldo and Steven Gerrard for the Champions League knockout rounds in midweek, but the rest of the squad continued to chase after it, thanks to goals from Essien and Drogba. beat Charlton Athletic 6-0 at home and continued to occupy the position of the leader of the Premier League.

Although Chelsea came back 2-1 away at West Bromwich Albion, Liverpool still hold an eight-point lead.

Like Yang Cheng's early mobilization for the decisive battle, Mourinho also shouted in front of the media after this game that he would maintain a winning record in the next 10 games.

'We're going to win all the games. Wait for Liverpool to make a mistake! ”

Yang Cheng did not respond to this, but Liverpool defeated visiting Werder Bremen 3-1 at Anfield Stadium in the Champions League in midweek, knocking out Werder Bremen with an aggregate score of 5:4 and successfully reaching the quarter-finals.

In the other quarter-finals, Chelsea were knocked out 3-2 by Barcelona.

The Blues were at Stamford Bridge in the first leg. After Orno was sent off with a red card, Barcelona scored one after another. They lost 1-2 and went to Camp Nou, where Chelsea equalised and played 1-1, but in the end they could not save the team and were eliminated from the Champions League.

In another game that attracted much attention, Arsenal drew 0:0 with Real Madrid at home, and the Galaxy Battleship was also eliminated by Arsenal with an aggregate score of 0:1. Defending the Champions League last-16 again has also made Florentino's situation even more difficult.

The day after the end of the Champions League round of 16, UEFA began the draw for the last eight.

Liverpool drew Ligue 1 hegemons Lyon this time, while AC Milan and Villarreal were also drawn in the same zone; Barcelona will face PSV Eindhoven in the Netherlands, while Arsenal will face Inter Milan in the other game.

The four games are Liverpool and Lyon, and the two matches between Arsenal and Inter Milan are more interesting, and this draw is out. It also immediately made many English media unhappy, why do Premier League teams have to meet strong opponents, while Barcelona and AC Milan have to meet weaker teams?

After Yang Cheng learned the results of the lottery, he was caught by reporters and asked, he said with a smile. "It doesn't make a difference to us if we draw any team, we don't mind who our opponent is because we only have one goal, the championship!"

Liverpool's players also said in an interview again that it is not terrible to draw Lyon, and they are confident that they can beat Lyon and advance to the semi-finals. ..., but after returning to the Premier League, Liverpool were beaten by Arsenal at Highbury Stadium.

Henry took the lead in the opening 11 minutes to take advantage of his individual ability, through the help of Glenn ? Johnson took the ball from the left side and cut into the penalty area, shook it past Carragher and pulled out a curling ball that pierced the goal guarded by Reina, 1:0.

After Liverpool launched a counterattack, Yang Cheng also strongly encouraged the players at halftime, Liverpool played a round of attacking frenzy in the second half, Robben equalized the score for Liverpool in the 81st minute, he dribbled the ball on the right side and cut in after the volley, penetrated Lehmann's goal, 1:1!

After the equalizer, Liverpool took advantage of the momentum to chase and strive to overtake the score, and the players were fighting hard from top to bottom.

French midfielder Diaby, who joined Arsenal from Ligue 1 Auxerre during the winter break, made too much action in a defensive and knocked down Liverpool's defender Carrick, who held a grudge and tackled Diaby in a subsequent defense, and was shown the referee's second yellow card of the game and was sent off the pitch with a red card.

The red card ended Liverpool's attacking wave and ended the game, which ended in a 1-1 draw.

Chelsea beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 at home at the same time, narrowing the gap with Liverpool to six points, and after the game, Mourinho received news from near London and learned that Liverpool had drawn, and excitedly shouted that he wanted to reverse Liverpool in one go.

'Liverpool have proven to be at the end of their rope and they simply can't continue to be that competitive, the pressure of playing on multiple fronts has made them tired and not able to keep up with the game, so it's a great opportunity for us to counter-attack and come back.'

"In the 30th round of the league, they are about to have a Merseyside derby, David Moyes's side will not allow their sworn rivals to win easily, Liverpool will definitely be on Everton, I will wait in London for the good news that Liverpool will drop points!"

Liverpool vs. Everton, Chelsea vs. Manchester City, both teams are not considered strong teams, especially this season, their performance is average, and the current ranking is relatively low, but Liverpool is facing a derby, and Carrick will be absent again, and Ronaldo is also suspended for accumulating yellow cards, which is undoubtedly a very unfavorable factor for Liverpool.

Chelsea, on the other hand, were knocked out of the Champions League, but their morale was high, and the team reached a consensus to reverse Liverpool in the league and defend the Premier League title.

If they didn't have much confidence before, then seeing Liverpool drop points on Arsenal made them smell blood, and they won't let go of any chances.

David Moyes was also interviewed ahead of the derby, saying: "Carrick and Ronaldo are important to Liverpool, we desperately need points to get relegation, so we will give our all at Anfield, not for anyone, for ourselves, we have to fight for our own destiny and for our dignity!"
