Chapter 199: Liverpool Trip (Transition Chapter)

After finishing the Champions League group stage, Manchester City immediately faced the seventh round of the Premier League.

Despite making a lot of rotations at home, they still beat the visiting Everton 3:1.

Lin Quan came on as a substitute in the 65th minute of the second half and scored a goal.

The goal for Everton was scored by Chelsea's young striker Romelu Lukaku.

Since being loaned out by Chelsea, it seems like the King of Football can play football.

Since he came to Everton, he has only played three games in total.

However, in these three games, Lukaku scored in each game, including a brace.

Before he came, Everton, like Chelsea, had a weak forward line and only scored three goals in the first four games.

But after he came, Everton averaged three goals per game, and the firepower increased by more than three times! With his outstanding performance, Lukaku quickly won the favor of Everton.

It is rumored that the Toffees intend to buy out Lukaku's contract during the winter break and keep the team's top scorer.

Anyway, Chelsea’s forward line is so crowded, and Lukaku won’t get a chance to play if he goes back, so you might as well sell him to us!

Lukaku's outstanding performance has made the outside world question Chelsea, especially Mourinho, even louder: Why can't Lukaku score goals when he is at Chelsea, but he is so popular after leaving Chelsea? This question has been supported by T9 fans. In the eyes of Torres fans, Toni's transfer to Chelsea is definitely a mistake.

When he was at Liverpool, he was on fire and scored goals like crazy.

After joining Chelsea, it became difficult for him to score goals, his goal efficiency dropped significantly, and he even lost his position as a main player in the national team.

As for this reason, fans naturally blamed Chelsea's tactical play.

After all, Torres is not the only striker who has performed poorly for Chelsea.

Mourinho is not the only one who has been attacked. Barcelona coach Martino and Bayern coach Guardiola have also been criticized by the media after this round of the Champions League group stage.

…

The noise from the outside world had nothing to do with Lin Quan. After the seventh round of the league ended, the FIFA match day arrived.

Since Spain qualified two rounds in advance, Bosque did not call Lin Quan and the main players to participate in the game, but selected a group of young players from the national youth team and the league.

Thanks to this, Lin Quan got a rare two-week vacation.

Although it is a holiday, he cannot rest because he still has to shoot some commercials for his sponsors.

Fortunately, Perre's excellent work ability helped him arrange the schedules of these advertisements together.

In this way, all the work can be completed within two days.

"Okay, there's one last commercial event left, but that won't be until October 12th."

"What is the activity?"

"A big-budget Hollywood movie is about to be released, and we're planning to invite some celebrities to attend the premiere!"

"Well, we'll see when the time comes. If you're free, go. If you're not free, please help me turn it down!"

Lin Quan casually said that he had participated in some such activities, mainly to show his face in front of the media and use his influence to help promote the movie.

The process is relatively simple, but it is time-consuming.

"Then I won't bother you anymore. I wish you a happy holiday!"

Pere then said goodbye and left, leaving all the time to Lin Quan alone.

Lin Quan took out the fishing rod he had prepared long ago and prepared to go fishing in the Iwell River.

When he was in Werder Bremen, he wanted to go fishing in the Weser River, but he didn't have a fishing license.

In Germany, fishing without a license is illegal, which is very hurtful to anglers.

However, the fisherman would not give in so easily. After arriving in Manchester City, Lin Quan asked Pere to help him with various procedures. Now he can go out fishing legally.

I don’t know if it’s because my skills have become rusty or if the fish in the UK are too difficult to catch.

After two days of fishing, I still came up empty-handed.

Shit! It must be that the fish are not compatible!

Forget it, let’s stop fishing and go for a drive! Manchester used to be an industrial city, but since Thatcher came to power and carried out reforms, Britain’s industry has gradually declined, 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, located in the basin, has improved significantly.

However, the price is that many people lost their jobs due to factory closures. In recent years, Manchester's population has been declining, and more and more people have moved to London to make a living.

Lin Quan was an outsider and did not feel deeply about this. He drove along the coastal road for a while and arrived at another coastal city - Liverpool.

The UK is really too small. Liverpool and Manchester are only a few dozen kilometers apart, and it takes less than an hour to drive there.

Although the two places are very close, Lin Quan has never been here before.

Liverpool is a famous tourist city with many tourist attractions.

After visiting several scenic spots, Lin Quan arrived at William Brown Street.

This is Liverpool's cultural district with many historic buildings that are worth a visit.

He met a girl who looked like Audrey Hepburn twice in a row, at the William Brown Library and the Walker Art Gallery.

The other party also noticed him and greeted him politely with a smile when they met for the second time.

I only thought they looked a bit alike, but when he smiled, they looked even more alike.

But why does this girl look so familiar?

I always feel like I've seen this person somewhere before. Lin Quan thought for a long time but still couldn't remember who this person was, so he nodded but didn't go up to chat with him.

When two people meet for the first time, if they rashly approach someone and start a conversation, it might be considered harassment.

However, fate is sometimes just a coincidence.

The two met again in Picton's reading room.

"Are you here for tourism?"

The other party took the initiative and asked curiously.

"How do you know?"

"Because only tourists from other places would be so interested in visiting so many places at once!"

"That makes sense, but according to what you said, you are not from Liverpool either?"

The girl nodded and said, "I'm from Surrey."

Lin Quan was not very familiar with the administrative divisions of the UK and didn't know where Surrey was for a while.

The girl saw his confusion and patiently explained to him:

"Surrey is south of London, on the Thames."

Although I still don’t know the exact location, I at least have a rough idea of ​​it.

"You're not English?"

The girl asked curiously.

"no!"

Lin Quan answered truthfully, and then asked in return: "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 from your appearance, you should be from one of the three East Asian countries, right?"

"Congratulations, you answered incorrectly. You still have one more chance. Do you want to continue?"

"I can't guess, but I think you came from the European continent?"

"right!"

"That must be Spain!"

Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.

"Hey, how did you know that?"

Lin Quan was a little surprised. There are so many countries in Europe, how did she guess that he was from Spain?

Could it be that he recognized my identity? "Because..."

The girl covered her mouth and laughed: "Because your skin color is more in line with my impression of tropical countries!"

"Well, the sun in Spain is really strong. One day of sun exposure is equivalent to several days in other places!"

Professional players often train under the sun, so it is normal for them to get tanned.

The girl was amused by his words: "When working outdoors, applying some sunscreen can provide effective protection."

Seeing that Lin Quan didn't seem to understand much about these, she gave some suggestions.

"Thank you for your advice. As a thank you, beautiful lady, can I treat you to a meal?"

The girl blinked her eyes and said, "I'm very picky about food. Aren't you worried that I'll eat you out of money?"

"It's okay, it's just a meal, I can still afford it!"

"Haha, I didn't expect you to be an invisible rich man. I won't be polite then!"

The girl accepted Lin Quan's invitation without any shyness.

"There's a Michelin restaurant nearby, and it's said to have good reviews. How about we go there?"

"Let's go!"

The two left the reading room and came to where Lin Quan parked his car.

After seeing Lin Quan's car, the other party began to believe that he was a wealthy man.

"Thanks to you, this is my first time riding in such a high-end sports car!"

Although she said so, judging from the other party's reaction, she was not surprised. She did not look around after getting in the car, and it was obvious that she had seen the world.

"What a coincidence, it's my first time too!"

This is not a lie. This Ferrari is a new model this year and will only be available for sale in September.

Mansur specially ordered one and gave it to Lin Quan as a gift.

Lin Quan only got the car keys last week and this was his first time driving the car.

When the car was started, the powerful power made the two people in the seats feel a noticeable push on their backs.

Lin Quan had just gotten his driver's license and drove cautiously.

Collins, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was initially quite nervous, but after seeing how steadily he drove, he gradually relaxed.

She was relieved, but the drivers on the road were cursing.

"Fuck, you're driving a LaFerrari so slowly, why don't you get off and ride your bike?"

Although they complained like this, they didn't dare to get closer except to honk their horns to urge them to come closer.

This kind of car is extremely expensive. If you accidentally hit it, you may not be able to afford the compensation even if you lose everything you have.

Moreover, those who can afford to drive this limited edition super sports car are either rich or noble, and they are not people that ordinary people like them can afford to offend.

After dinner, seeing that it was still early, the two of them visited several scenic spots that they had not visited before.

Finally, we watched the entire sunset together on Liverpool’s landmark building, Liverpool Cathedral.

"It's getting late, I have to go back!"

"I send you!"

"good!"

So Lin Quan sent her back to the hotel where she was staying.

When they got outside the hotel, Lily Collins stretched out her hand and said to Lin Quan:

"Formally introduce myself, 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 the chance to see each other again!"

Collins thought that after he said his name, the other party would know who he was, but he didn't expect the other party to have no reaction.

On the other hand, Lin Quan was also wondering why the other party didn't respond to his name?

Am I not famous enough? The two of them came up with the same idea at the same time.

"Mr. Lin Quan, a movie will be released in a few days. I would like to invite you to watch the movie as a reward for the meal you treated me to today. Are you free?!"

"It's my pleasure."

Who can refuse a beautiful woman's invitation to watch a movie together? The two added each other's contact information and agreed on a time and place: "See you on October 12, at the Electric Cinema in London!"

"Okay, see you there!"

…

Two days later, Lin Quan received a movie ticket from Lily Collins. The name of the movie was "The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones".

I searched for this movie online and found out that the heroine is Lily Collins.

No wonder I felt she looked familiar when I saw her before, it turns out she is a Hollywood star.

She invited me to watch the movie she starred in. Should I give her a ticket and invite her to watch a game at the Etihad Stadium? At this time, Pere also handed the invitation letter for the business event to Lin Quan.

Seeing the name of the movie on the invitation, Lin Quan was immediately happy

Isn't this the movie that Lily Collins sent him the ticket for? Haha, interesting! I wonder if she will be surprised if I appear in the cinema as a guest of the premiere? (End of this chapter)
