Young Football Player

Jackie Chan officially joined Liverpool, the impact is not small.

The most direct thing is that the attention of Liverpool has increased greatly. At least in the recent period, the frequency of Liverpool appearing on sports media pages around the world has increased significantly.

At the same time, Jackie Chan also brought some invisible influences, such as the recent rumors in the English media that Adi snatched Liverpool's jersey sponsorship.

In fact, as early as 2010, Adidas was Liverpool's jersey sponsor at that time, but after the contract expired, Liverpool's performance plummeted, so the new sponsorship contract was not negotiated, and was snatched away by the American Warriors Sports.

The contract between Liverpool and Warriors Sports will expire next year. Now that Adi is running back to grab sponsorships, it is obvious that there is a certain reason for Lee Chenglong to join.

According to the English media, in addition to Adidas, Liverpool has also gained in other sponsorships.

Li Chenglong has just joined the team, and he has already started to create benefits for Liverpool before he played a game.

At the same time, within three days of joining Lee Jackie Chan, his Liverpool No. 7 jersey sold as many as 350,000 pieces.

This is already a very exaggerated data. In the case of only counting genuine jerseys in specialty stores, Ronaldo Messi only sells more than 1 million jerseys every year.

As for the Premier League, Van Persie, who sold the most jerseys last season, only sold more than 500,000 pieces.

Now Jackie Chan has sold 350,000 pieces in three days. Although there is a reason for the sudden explosion of joining the Premier League, there are still a lot.

Li Chenglong has completed the transfer of Liverpool and needs to integrate into the team as soon as possible to prepare for the game.

After all, the Premier League has already started, and the Champions League is not far away.

In Liverpool's Melwood training center, Lee Chenglong met his new teammates under the leadership of Steven Gerrard.

"Bruce, this is Daniel (Sturridge)."

"This is Raheem (Sterling)..."

In fact, many people in the team have seen it. Gerrard, Henderson, Sturridge, and Sterling played together in the World Cup. In addition, Joe Allen played in the Olympics together. Ray Can has played against each other in the Bundesliga.

After meeting his teammates, Lee also started his first training session in Liverpool.

The current head coach of Liverpool is Brendan Rogers, a failed player who retired at the age of 20, but relying on acquired hard work, he became a successful coach step by step.

Being able to coach a giant team like Liverpool should be considered a success.

In the coaching era, Rodgers first worked as a youth team coach in Reading and Chelsea, and then served as head coach in Watford, Reading and Swansea respectively, and then replaced Kenny Dalglish in 2012 Became the manager of Liverpool.

In Liverpool's first season, Liverpool under Rodgers only finished seventh in the Premier League, an unqualified result.

But in the second season, that is, last season, Rodgers successfully led Liverpool to achieve good results, and even once had a good chance to hit the Premier League championship.

Although it still fell short in the end, the second place result is also a rare good result for Liverpool in recent years, and the 84 points is also the second highest score for Liverpool in the Premier League era.

And this season, Rodgers will lead the Red Army to participate in the Champions League again after five years.

Rogers' coaching philosophy is to advocate offense. He himself once said in front of the media that he was influenced by Spanish football and Dutch football during his coaching courses, so he has a soft spot for offensive football.

Liverpool scored 101 goals in the Premier League last season. In addition to the good striker 3S combination, Rodgers' offensive tactics also contributed a lot.

But Rogers' biggest problem is that he can't arrange defense well.

In Liverpool under his rule, there were often some cases where they started aggressively and took a lead of two or three goals, but after the offensive weakened, they were scored one after another by their opponents, or even equalized or reversed.

Liverpool scored 101 goals crazy last season, but conceded a crazy 50 goals, the most among the top eight teams in the Premier League.

Even teams like Everton, Southampton, and Crystal Palace have conceded fewer goals than Liverpool.

At present, Liverpool's main formation is 433, and sometimes it will be replaced with 343, but they are all three strikers.

Last season, Liverpool relied on the 3S combination of Suarez, Sturridge and Sterling to achieve good results.

Now that Jackie Lee is here, he is replacing Suarez and continuing to help Liverpool beat their opponents with goals.

Li Chenglong has been training with the team for a few days, but before his Premier League debut, he will go to the European continent first.

On August 30th, Jackie Lee, Rodgers, John Henry and others came to Monaco, where they will participate in the UEFA Champions League group stage draw.

Of course, the reason why Li Chenglong came here was mainly to participate in the best player award in Europe after the draw.

In this year's selection of the best players in Europe, Jackie Chan, Ronaldo and Neuer were shortlisted for the final three, so they all came to Monaco.

As soon as he arrived in Monaco, Li Chenglong was caught by reporters and asked questions.

"Bruce, are you confident that you will win the best player in Europe this time?"

"Of course, I believe that my performance last season fully deserves this award."

"What about Ronaldo and Neuer? One of them broke the Champions League scoring record, and the other is the World Cup champion."

"They also performed very well, but I think they are better suited to finish second and third."

...

In the council hall in Monte Carlo, the draw for the Champions League group stage will soon begin.

Due to the lack of participation in European competitions in recent years, Liverpool has been reduced to the third-tier team in European points, and it is easy to be drawn into a death group.

But luckily, after the draw came out, Liverpool was divided into Group B. The first team was La Liga giants Real Madrid, the second team was the Swiss team Basel, and the fourth team was the Bulgarian team Ludo Goretz.

As far as this group is concerned, it should not be a big problem for Liverpool and Real Madrid to advance together.

However, when Liverpool and Real Madrid were drawn together, the live broadcast camera kept scanning Lee Chenglong and Ronaldo, trying to see the flowers from their faces.

The two had a confrontation in the Champions League final last season, and now they are strong contenders for the best players in Europe. At the same time, they were drawn together in the Champions League group. Maybe they will meet again when the Golden Globes are awarded at the end of the year. is a competitor.

There is a saying that goes well, it’s not that enemies don’t get together.

The UEFA Champions League draw is over, and the next step is the awarding of the best player in Europe.

Although the best player in Europe is not well-known, it can be said to be the personal award in football after the World Footballer and the Golden Globe Award.

This award is directly voted on-site by media reporters from various European countries, and on-site statistics will take some time.

After waiting for a while after the draw, Platini finally came to the stage with a note and began to chant.

"The European player of the season is..."

Platini deliberately elongated his tone to test everyone's patience before saying: "...Bruce Lee."

So the red-faced Jackie Lee stood up, hugged Rogers and Henry beside him, and went to the stage to receive the award, an ugly trophy with a severed upper body.

"Thanks to UEFA, to Mr. Platini, to the journalists who voted for me, very happy to receive this award."

"This is the most important award in my career so far. I am really happy..."

"Finally, I would like to thank my fans and all those who support me. This award is dedicated to everyone..."
