Chapter 199 Journey to Liverpool (Transition Chapter)
After the end of the Champions League group stage, Manchester City immediately ushered in the seventh round of the Premier League.
Although they played a lot of rotations at home, they still beat Everton 3:1.
Lin Quan came off the bench in the 65th minute of the second half and scored a goal.
Goal for Everton was young Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku.
Since the king of pestles was loaned out by Chelsea, it seems that he can play football.
After he came to Everton, he played only three games in total.
However, in these three games, Lukaku has scored in each game, including a brace once.
Before he came, Everton was as weak as Chelsea, scoring only three goals in the first four rounds.
But after he came, Everton averaged three goals per game, and their firepower more than tripled!
With his outstanding performance, Lukaku quickly won Everton's favor.
It is rumored that Toffee intends to buy out Lukaku's contract during the winter break and keep the team's top scorer.
Anyway, your Chelsea striker is so crowded, and Lukaku will not get a chance to play when he goes back, so why not sell it to us!
Lukaku's outstanding performance has made the outside world's doubts about Chelsea, especially Mourinho:
Why didn't Lukaku score goals when he was at Chelsea, but he killed the Quartet as soon as he left Chelsea?
This kind of questioning has been supported by T9 fans. In the eyes of Torres fans, Toniu's transfer to Chelsea is definitely a mistake.
When he was at Liverpool, he smashed the quarter and scored a lot of goals.
When it came to Chelsea, it became difficult to score goals, and the scoring efficiency was greatly reduced, and even lost the position of the main force of the national team.
For this reason, the fans naturally blame Chelsea's tactics.
After all, Torres is not the only forward who played abnormally at Chelsea.
It wasn't just Mourinho who was attacked. Barcelona's coach Martino and Bayern's coach Guardiola were criticized by the media after this round of the Champions League group stage.
……
The outside noise had nothing to do with Lin Quan. After the seventh round of the league, the FIFA match day came.
Since Spain qualified two rounds ahead of schedule, Bosque did not call Lin Quan and the main players to participate in the competition, but selected a group of young players from the National Youth League and the League to play.
Thanks to this, Lin Quan got a rare two-week vacation.
Although it's a holiday, he can't rest. He still has some sponsors' commercials to shoot.
Fortunately, Pere's excellent work ability helped him arrange the schedules of these commercials together.
In this case, all the work can be concentrated within two days to complete.
"Well, there is one last business event left, but that one has to wait until October 10th."
"What event?"
"A big-budget movie in Hollywood is about to be released, and I'm going to invite some celebrities to the premiere!"
"Well, let's see when the time comes, go if you have time, and push it away for me if you don't have time!"
Lin Quan said casually that he participated in some of these activities, mainly to show his face in front of the media, and by the way, use his influence to help promote the movie.
The process is relatively simple, but it is time-consuming.
"Then I won't bother you, I wish you a happy holiday!"
Pere then took his leave and left, leaving all the time for Lin Quan himself.
Lin Quan took out the fishing rod that he had prepared earlier, and prepared to go fishing in the Ewell River.
When he was in Werder Bremen before, he wanted to go fishing on the Weser River, but he did not have a fishing license.
In Germany, fishing without a license is illegal, which hurts the angler very much.
However, fishermen will not give in so easily. After arriving in Manchester, Lin Quan asked Pere to help him with various procedures. Now he can legally go fishing.
I don't know if it's because the skills are unfamiliar, or the British fish are too difficult to catch.
After fishing for two days in a row, they were all in the air force.
Depend on!
It must be a mismatch between fish and fish!
Forget it, stop fishing and go for a drive!
Manchester used to be an industrial city, but since Thatcher came to power to carry out reforms, the British industry has gradually withered, and the factories here have either closed down or moved away.
When driving on the road, you can see many abandoned factories along the way.
Without industrial pollution, the air quality in Manchester, which is located in the basin, has improved a lot.
But the price is that many people have lost their jobs due to factory closures. In recent years, the population of Manchester has been declining, and more and more people have moved to London to earn a living.
As an outsider, Lin Quan didn't feel deeply about it. After driving along the seaside road for a short time, he came to another seaside city - Liverpool.
The UK is so small, there are only tens of kilometers between Liverpool and Manchester, and it takes less than an hour to get there by car.
Although the two places are very close, Lin Quan has never been here before.
Liverpool is a famous tourist city, and there are many tourist attractions here.
After wandering around several scenic spots, Lin Quan came to William Brown Street.
This is Liverpool's cultural district, with many historic buildings worth seeing.
In the William Brown Library and the Walker Art Gallery, he met a girl who looked exactly like Audrey Hepburn twice in a row.
The other party also noticed him, and greeted him with a polite smile when they met for the second time.
Originally, I only felt a little similar, but when the other party smiled, it suddenly became more similar.
But why does this girl look so familiar?
There is always a feeling of seeing somewhere?
Lin Quan thought for a long time, but still couldn't remember who it was, so he nodded, but he didn't go up to strike up a conversation with the other party.
When the two met for the first time, it might be considered harassment if they rushed up to strike up a conversation.
However, fate is such a coincidence sometimes.
When they were in the Picton reading room, the two met again.
"Are you here for tourism?"
The other party took the initiative to speak and asked curiously.
“How come you see?”
"Because only tourists from other places are so interested in visiting so many places in one go!"
"That makes sense, but according to what you're saying, you're not a native of Liverpool either?"
The girl nodded and said, "I'm from Surrey."
Lin Quan is not very familiar with the administrative divisions of the UK, so he may not know where Surrey is for a while.
The girl saw his confusion, so she patiently explained to him:
"Surrey is south of London, on the Thames."
Although I still don't know the exact location, but at least I have a rough orientation.
"Aren't you British?"
the girl asked curiously.
"no!"
Lin Quan replied truthfully, and then asked a question:
"Where do you think I'm from?"
The girl looked him up and down, and began to think seriously.
"Honestly, I don't know. Judging by your appearance, you should be from three countries in East Asia, right?"
"Congratulations, wrong answer, one more chance, continue?"
"I can't guess, but I think you should come from the European continent?"
"Correct!"
"That must be Spain!"
"Hey, how did you know that?"
Lin Quan was a little surprised, there are so many countries in the European continent, how did she guess that she was from Spain.
Could it be that he recognized his identity?
"because……"
The girl covered her mouth and snickered: "Because your skin color is more in line with my impression of tropical countries!"
"Well, the sun power in Spain is indeed relatively strong, and one day of sunshine is worth several days in other places!"
Professional players often train in the sun, and it is normal to get tanned.
The girl was amused by his words: "When working outdoors, properly applying some sunscreen can provide effective protection."
Seeing that Lin Quan didn't seem to know much about these things, she gave some suggestions.
"Thank you for your suggestion, and as a thank you, beautiful lady, may I treat you to a meal?"
The girl blinked her eyes: "I'm very picky about eating, aren't you worried that I'll make you poor?"
"It's okay, it's just a meal, I can still afford it!"
"Hehe, I didn't expect you to be an invisible rich man, so I'll be impolite!"
The girl agreed to Lin Quan's invitation generously, without any twitching gestures.
"There is a Michelin restaurant nearby, and the reviews are said to be pretty good, why don't we go there to eat?"
"Let's go!"
The two left the reading room and came to the place where Lin Quan parked his car.
Seeing Lin Quan's car, the other party began to believe that he was a rich man.
"Thanks to you, this is the first time I've sat in such a high-end sports car!"
Although she said so, judging from the other party's reaction, she was not surprised, and she didn't look around after getting in the car, obviously she had seen the world.
"Coincidentally, it's my first time too!"
This is not a lie, this Ferrari is new this year, and it will only go on sale in September.
Mansour specially ordered one and gave it to Lin Quan as a gift.
Lin Quan only got the car keys last week, and this is his first time driving the car.
After starting the car, the strong power made the two people in the seats feel an obvious push back.
It wasn't long before Lin Quan got his driver's license, so he drove more cautiously.
Collins, who was in the co-pilot position, was still nervous at first, but after seeing him driving so smoothly, his heart gradually relaxed.
She was relieved, but the drivers on the road were about to scold their mothers.
"Damn, why don't you get down and ride a bicycle if you drive a LaFerrari so slowly?"
Although they complained so much, they didn't dare to approach at all other than honking their horns to urge them.
This kind of car is extremely expensive. If you accidentally run into it, you may lose your fortune and not even be able to afford it.
Moreover, people who can afford to drive this limited-edition super sports car are either rich or expensive, and they are not something ordinary people like them can afford.
After eating, seeing that the time was still early, the two of them visited the few scenic spots that they hadn't finished before.
Finally, we watched the whole process of sunset together on the Liverpool Cathedral, a landmark building in Liverpool.
"It's getting late, I have to go back!"
"I send you!"
"it is good!"
So Lin Quan sent her back to the hotel where she was staying.
Once outside the hotel, Lily Collins stretched out her hand generously and said to Lin Quan:
"Let me introduce myself officially, my name is Lily Collins, nice to meet you!"
"My name is Lin Quan, Miss Collins, thank you for bringing me a good mood for the day, I hope we will have a chance to see you again!"
Collins thought that after he said his name, the other party knew who he was, but he didn't expect the other party to have no response.
On the other side, Lin Quan was also wondering why the other party didn't respond to his name?
Is it because I'm not famous enough?
The two had the same idea at the same time.
"Mr. Lin Quan, a movie will be released in a few days. I want to treat you to a movie in return for the meal you invited today. Are you free?!"
"It's my pleasure."
A beautiful woman invites you to watch a movie together, who can refuse?
The two added each other's contact information, and made an appointment with the time and place:
"On October 10th, see you at the Electric Cinema in London!"
"Okay, see you soon!"
……
Two days later, Lin Quan received a movie ticket from Lily Collins. The name of the movie was "The Holy Grail: City of Bones".
I searched for this movie on the Internet and found that the heroine is Lily Collins.
No wonder I thought she looked familiar when I saw her before, it turned out that she was a Hollywood star.
She invited herself to watch the movie she starred in, and in return, should I give her a ticket and invite her to watch a game at the Etihad Stadium?
At this moment, Pere also sent the invitation letter for that business event to Lin Quan.
Seeing the name of the movie on the invitation letter, Lin Quan was immediately happy
Isn't that the movie that Lily Collins sent him tickets for?
Hehe, interesting!
I don't know if I will surprise her by appearing in the movie theater as a guest of the premiere ceremony?
