Chapter 403: Asia trip

　　 After Klopp joined the team, there was finally someone working on Liverpool's side.
　　 Soon, the Liverpool team will be ready to fly to Asia, and it's time to go there.
　　 Of course, Liverpool’s transfer signings and so on are still going on.
Mane and Klein from Southampton, Firmino from Hoffenheim, Benteke from Villa, Milner from Manchester City, Gomez from Charlton Athletic, etc. These are all related to Liverpool. Players who will appear in the news.
　　 But in the same way, Sterling’s transfer rumors on the Liverpool side have also intensified.
In fact, for Liverpool, although they know that Sterling’s heart is no longer here, they still hope to retain his people as much as possible to help the team compete for the Premier League championship. Unexpectedly, this caused Sterling to directly force the palace. , Publicly stated that he would not participate in the team's Asian tour activities.
　　 has reached such a level, then Sterling must leave.
　　Before the start of the Asian tour, the Liverpool club first held a press conference to announce the team’s new captain.
　　 Without any accident, Lee Chenglong became the new captain of the team, while Henderson became the deputy captain, and the newly joined Milner became the third captain.
　　 In mid-July, Liverpool boarded a plane and started flying to Asia.
　　 Liverpool’s first stop was Singapore. As soon as the team landed, it was surrounded by crazy fans.
　　 Although Singapore is only a city, it has a total population of more than 5 million. It is definitely a big city. Of course, there will be many fans here.
　　 And this is the first stop of Liverpool’s Asian tour, and some fans from other parts of Asia also came here to pick up the plane, such as the nearby Malaysian fans.
　　 "Bruce Lee~~~~Bruce Lee!!!"
　　 Li Chenglong is undoubtedly the most popular star on the scene. He can win a scream by simply waving his hand to the sidelines.
　　In Asia, celebrities in any industry will eventually have a trend towards the development of the rice circle culture.
　　 In Singapore, Lee Chenglong attended some commercial activities with the team, and then played a friendly match with the Singapore League's Internal Affairs United team.
　　 Singapore is just a city, so their league level is quite limited, and they have also joined some other countries’ teams to make up the numbers, such as Japan’s Niigata Swan II and Brunei DPMM.
　　Internal Affairs United is a team with a very strong Singaporean government atmosphere, as can be seen from their initial team name, Singapore Police Football Club.
　　 However, the strength of the internal political union is indeed very weak. Lee Chenglong only played for half of the game, almost walking around slowly. Liverpool is already leading 3:0, and Lee Chenglong also scored a goal, which made the fans very happy, and everyone was happy.
　　 After finishing the Singapore activities, Liverpool flew to Japan. The itinerary was basically the same as that of Singapore. They participated in some commercial activities and then played a friendly exhibition game.
　　 But the Japanese fans are obviously more crazy. As soon as Jackie Lee leaves the airport, he can hear the huge "Li Sang Li Sang" shout.
　　 At the Yokohama Arena, where the 2002 World Cup finals were played, Liverpool played a friendly match with the Yokohama Mariners.
　　 Speaking of it, the Yokohama Mariners have something to do with the Premier League because they have now been acquired by City Football Group, the parent company of Manchester City.
　　 I have to say that the oil tycoons are really rich. They set up a city football group, and then all over the world look for those big city teams to buy. This is the rhythm of the plan to form a global league.
　　 Although the purpose of the Asia trip is to promote the team's reputation and make some money by the way, Klopp still knows the measure and the team has to prepare for the new season.
　　 So this time, Jackie Lee only played for 45 minutes, and overall there was no performance.
　　 Fortunately, the team still won the game 2:1 without shame.
　　 After finishing the trip to Japan, Liverpool flew to China and will play a game with Bayern in the Bird's Nest.
　　 Speaking of it, this is also another time Uncle Zha has played against Melon Bald.
　　 This game was also arranged by Adidas. This year it happened that Bayern was also on the Asian side. So after the two sides negotiated, they planned to join together in an exhibition game, and they could win both by the way.
　　 I have to say that Bayern is indeed one of the most focused teams in Europe for the Chinese market.
　　 For this game, they also brought the old DJ Lyman, who has served the team for many years, to China to prepare an original 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 the Champions League six-time champion and five-time champion respectively. They are currently one of the strongest teams in European football. Propaganda is a battle at the final level of the Champions League.
　　 On July 25th, Liverpool and Bayern's Champions League final level battle started in the Bird's Nest.
　　 The admission ceremony before the game, Bayern DJ really made the atmosphere very lively.
　　 Lee Chenglong is also undoubtedly the most popular player in the game.
　　 If the real game is really exciting, at least the scene is quite lively.
　　 Both teams have a tacit understanding of each other playing heavy offensive and light defensive football, just blindly pursuing offense.
　　 Bayern took a 2-0 lead in the opening 20 minutes, and then Li Chenglong passed and shot to help Liverpool tie the score.
　　 Then Coutinho scored another goal to help Liverpool overtake the score.
　　 But in more than 80 minutes ~EbookFREE.me~ Bayern equalized again, and then completed an overtime lore.
　　 Although Liverpool lost the game, the effect of this exhibition match was played out. It was indeed full of performance.
　　 In an interview after the game, Li Chenglong also became the target of Chinese reporters scrambling to pass the microphone.
When asked if the Chinese team would have a chance to qualify for the next World Cup in Russia, Li Chenglong said: "There should be a good chance. There are four places in Asia that can directly qualify for the World Cup, and the remaining half of the places. Asia is drawn to North America, and the chance of promotion is also great."
　　 "So, in the next World Cup, Asia is likely to have five teams participating, and China still has a chance."
　　 In the just-concluded World Preliminary Play-off draw, Asia draws Central and North America, and South America draws Oceania.
　　 successfully avoided the strongest South American team, the fifth-placed team in Asia, indeed has a good chance of getting a ticket to Russia.
　　 However, with the current Chinese team's seventh Asian ranking, it is difficult to say whether they can grab the half of the spot.
　　※※※
　　 After the Asian trip, Liverpool immediately flew back to Europe, and really had to prepare for the new season.
　　 Since Liverpool are the Champions League champions, the new season will have to participate in the European Super Cup and the Club World Cup. The schedule will definitely be more tense.
　　Moreover, Liverpool will have to charge towards the Premier League champions in the new season. All these must be prepared in advance.
　　 The new Premier League season will start in early August, and there is not much time left for Liverpool.
　　 Klopp needs to quickly adapt the lineup and implement his own tactical play.
