Before he could stay in Liverpool for a long time, Zhao Yaning started packing his luggage again and prepared to return home with the team.

The schedule of Liverpool's four games is not very tight. Singapore plays against Singapore's national team, then in Hong Kong, playing a game against Hong Kong's Nanhua, and then there are two teams from Shanghai and Beijing. The last game against Beijing is August 4th, and after the game is over, we have to rush back. The first game after returning is August 12th Community Shield, and there is still a week's rest time in between.

In fact, the Liverpool Club meant that it was originally planned to arrange a friendly match after the Community Shield, and then the league started on August 19th. But Benitez rejected the idea: FIFA syndrome has always been a terrible thing, and it is already very tired to play friendly matches in Asia after the competition, so it is best to spend some time to adapt to the rhythm.

Zhao Yaning also agreed quite well about this - he doesn't care, but his teammates have been tired for a summer. He played 60 games last season, and there may be 60 games this season. They still need to rest for such intensive games.

He did not object to this and expressed his agreement with Benitez. This eased the attitude of the two people, but except for being on the team, he still ignored each other.

The game was not difficult, anyway, it was an irrelevant exhibition match. When facing Singapore in the first game, Liverpool players only played half of the team and won the game 4-0. When they turned to Hong Kong, they won the game with another 3-2 victory.

After arriving in Shanghai, Liverpool was even more popular.

"I really can't imagine that our training was surrounded by fans. We couldn't train so much - and this feeling is not bad." When we arrived at the hotel, everyone was still talking, "There are so many Asian fans."

"I actually signed someone for nearly an hour today. I'm so popular." Reina's face smiled, "I've never signed so many names in my life."

"There are so many people in Asia." Zhao Yaning smiled, "How many people are in Liverpool? The city with 400,000 people, the fans have been divided by Everton. Moreover, even fans may not like you, bald. How many people in Shanghai? With more people, there are always a few weird aesthetics. The city with 20 million people, the number of fans is definitely different."

"I finally understand a little bit why you don't care about money anymore. With such a large market, you really don't have to worry about money."

In countries with backward football, there are always benefits of backward football. Zhao Yaning's current commercial sponsorship is enough to surprise everyone in the football world. 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 concealed his income in order to evade taxes. There are even data from experts in England that Zhao Yaning doesn't know why these experts like to be unable to compete with football players so much. They believe that Zhao Yaning's income is less than 30 million, which is definitely a fraud.

But so what if it is fake? Who of them has the ability to come to China to investigate the sponsorship accounts Zhao Yaning has obtained through the Football Association? It’s just nonsense, and Zhao Yaning naturally ignores them. In fact, Zhao Yaning has always lacked interest in commercial publicity. He doesn’t even recognize a few, so he is too lazy to pay attention to those. His affairs were all thrown to Cordia and Zhang Yuan. This made his teammates always find it strange: Zhao Yaning’s agent has a very average agent and can’t get many contracts, but Zhao Yaning never cared about it.

After arriving in Asia, they finally understood the reason. The market behind Zhao Yaning is too big. Even if Zhao Yaning underestimates commercial publicity, he will not be short of money. He does not need to be as ugly as other players. Anyway, who can compete with him for sponsorship?

China's vast market has also made several teammates show their strength. On the first night in Shanghai, Zhao Yaning did nothing else. He taught them Chinese for a long time, so he could be interviewed and expressed his friendship with China, in order to benefit from Zhao Yaning's glory and make some money...

There are also different people who are involved in the industry - for example, Fowler, who has been contacting his company after seeing the map and population figures of Shanghai, hoping to make his land-firing company - this made Zhao Yaning very helpless. At least this guy is still a moral model in textbooks. How can he be so eager to make money?

Zhao Yaning himself doesn't care much about money, but he can't let others not care. While others are considering business, Zhao Yaning himself took back his mind and observed several new players. This time, except for Mascherano, the other people have already come with the team.

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

Walcott's technical characteristics are obviously that he has more wingers than wingers. His cooperation ability is really poor. Not to mention Figo, he is difficult to catch up with Garcia's skills. However, he has speed and is willing to work hard after all. Zhao Yaning estimated that if he plays according to the winger's model, he can still have some potential.

Baynes made Zhao Yaning a little worried: his technical characteristics are also biased towards attack rather than defense. His crossing is good and his skills are also good. As a full-back, his offense is strong and his defense is very obvious. Zhao Yaning has always hoped that the left-back would rather have a defensive type, which would be better to activate Macon's attack ability of the right-back. But now it seems that if Bains wants to exert his strength, he still has to let Macon take more responsibility.

Spain's Aveloa played well. His level can only be said to be average. Everyone on the back line is better than him, but he plays very steadily at least. As a rotation player who can play three positions, he is comprehensive and outstanding enough. Such a player was bought for only 3 million pounds, which was indeed Liverpool made a profit.

However, as the biggest signing player Kuyt so far this summer, Zhao Yaning was a little surprised. As a striker, his skills are really... Zhao Yaning has never seen any forward who has ever won the Golden Boot, and his stopping skills are so bad. He can also pull the edges, but long passes are all the way to shoot towards the sky, which also makes Zhao Yaning feel that he is really unacceptable.

Van Nie is also a golden boot of the Eredivisie, and Kuyt is also a golden boot of the Eredivisie. Why is the difference between the two people so big? Looking at the other Manchester United Golden Boots and then looking at their own Golden Boot of the Eredivisie, Zhao Yaning was speechless.

However, Zhao Yaning could not accuse him: Although his skills were indeed not good, he was indeed active enough when he was on the court. With similar physical strength as Zhao Yaning, he was as active as Gerald, and his very good tactical execution ability and counter-attack ability, although Zhao Yaning was dissatisfied with his skills, he was satisfied with his attitude - this person had won the Golden Boot after all, so he should have something outstanding, right? Such a good attitude would definitely be able to kick out, and Zhao Yaning was also thinking about how to help him.

However, Zhao Yaning still couldn't think of how to exert his strength as soon as possible after thinking hard. His thinking is still fixed, and he still hopes to try to grind his skills slowly and hone his skills. Once this attitude becomes technically advanced, he will definitely be a top star.

But technological progress... seems to be the most difficult.

Such a wish is good, but it is difficult to hone it immediately in these two games. In the game against Shenhua, Zhao Yaning played the whole game, and the game was stagnant, and there was no problem. Liverpool took the lead 3-0 early and started making big substitutions. In the second half, Shenhua chased three goals in a row, but substitute Walcott scored another goal and won 4-3.

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

What is this guy here for? When Zhao Yaning saw him, he didn't even know what to say.

Football has become popular in the past two years - under the influence of Zhao Yaning's call, the domestic football market has indeed developed well. However, Zhu Jun's approach made Zhao Yaning not know what to say. Football games are not about treating guests to dinner, and even in friendly matches, they cannot be done like this.

The game was coming to an end. After it was over, Zhu Jun also came over and took his jersey and went straight to Zhao Yaning. Zhao Yaning took the jersey, but still smiled bitterly, "Boss Zhu, you have played it too much."

Zhao Yaning hopes that football will develop, but it is definitely not the way. What football needs is people who do things, not people who attract attention. Zhao Yaning can imagine how such a practice will be ridiculed by foreigners.

Not enough, others laugh, but Zhao Yaning cannot.

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

Although he did think Zhu Jun was a little nonsense, Zhao Yaning still didn't say anything. It's always a good thing for someone to devote himself to football. No matter how wrong Zhu Jun is, he is also an investor in football. Moreover, in comparison, it is better than those who just use football as an investment or as a task. Although his methods are not desirable, Zhao Yaning does not want to dispel his enthusiasm and say a few nice words to him, in exchange for more people's interest in investment.

After playing this game, Liverpool also arrived at the Beijing Workers Stadium, where they shook hands with Guoan team with a 3-3 score, ended the summer game.

"The Workers' Stadium is indeed the home court of the devil..." Zhao Yaning said a few words without any pain after the game.

He is not interested in winning a big game in Worksports: he is the captain of the national team, and the national team's home court is his home court. Is it fun to draw himself? Moreover, Liverpool will have a game in a week. At this time, why should you be so serious in a friendly match?

As for winning a game, let the Chinese team wake up: Didn’t the Chinese team lose before that, have they been sober? Media propaganda has always been one-sided. When did they pay attention to the unlucky time? With Zhao Yaning here, what kind of result should not be said to be good.

"The trip to Asia ends like this... I always feel that I'm still not satisfied..."

On the way back, several people were still talking, and Zhao Yaning just smiled at this, "Don't be so serious in the friendly match. The following competition is the real focus. I have never won the community shield. This time, it's time to add another medal to the honorary sheet."—
