Chapter 139 Wang Li’s New Image (1)

In the end, Hargreaves failed to realize his wish of eating the rich man because Eriksson knew about it.

Since 1997, FIFA has introduced new regulations, "prohibiting players from participating in the competition from participating in any gambling for profit in the competitions participated by their team." If this matter is known to the media, it may even affect the players' careers. You know, many players have been banned for life for participating in gambling, and some have even been imprisoned.

Although Hargreaves did not manipulate the results of the game and bet on his own team to win, this also violated FIFA regulations. So when Eriks learned about this, he immediately summoned Hargreaves, gave him a severe scolding, and informed him that he could not act on his own before the next game started, and he could not even think about participating in the group stage.

Eriksson did not tell the media about this matter. If players of the team were to gamble in their own games, no matter what form, it would cause a huge stain on the reputation of the England team and might even bring severe punishment from FIFA. He did not want that. Although the old man was usually a bit strict, he actually took good care of his players.

In fact, what Erickson didn't know was that Kim and Bridget also placed bets, but relatively speaking, they were very low-key, so no one knew about it.

"Owen, just stay here. Alan and I are going out." After breakfast, Rooney stood in front of the dining table with his hands in his pockets, looking smugly at the expressionless Hargreaves. This guy wanted to knock him out yesterday, but now the situation has changed and it's time for Rooney to be proud.

Today, he and Wang Li made an appointment to go shopping together. Of course, they were supporting roles, that is, porters, and the protagonists were Colleen and Rita.

Looking up and ignoring Rooney's provocation, Hargreaves continued to vent his frustration on the medium-rare steak. In fact, he also wanted to go out for a walk. He had been in Portugal for several days and just had time to look around, but he was strictly ordered not to go out at will. This was really a tragedy.

"Is this really edible?" Wang Li looked at the steak in front of Hargreaves on the dining table and grinned. Even though he had been in this world for nearly a year, he still couldn't adapt to the European way of eating. Every time he ate steak, he had to eat it at least 70% done. If it was medium rare, what was the difference between that and raw beef?

"Alan, you just don't know how to appreciate it. The rawer the steak is, the better it tastes. I grew up eating this. Look how strong I am now." Rooney also did a bodybuilding move like Schwarzenegger. "No wonder you are so thin. It's because of this."

"Well..., forget it. I think my figure is pretty standard."

After carefully circling Wang Li and taking a look at his figure and appearance, Rooney was deeply shocked. "Let's go, stop talking nonsense, or if you're late, Colleen will complain again."

"Oh, all right then."

…………

Although many people think that the shopping paradise in Europe is in France and Italy, in fact Lisbon is no different, because many European brands, especially Spanish brands, are produced in Portugal, and Lisbon is the most prosperous city in Portugal. Columbus Mall is the largest shopping mall in Europe. Both local Lisbon residents and foreign tourists like to come here to enjoy the fun of shopping.

After Wang Li and his companion left the hotel, they took a taxi and drove directly to the Columbus mall. They had agreed to meet here, but the two of them tried many different positions around the bench and waited for more than an hour, but still did not see the two heroines appear.

"Wayne, please make a phone call and ask, is this the place? Why haven't they come yet?" Wang Li sat bored on a wooden bench on the street, looking left and right. This action had been going on for a long time.

"You've urged me more than ten times. I've told you that you have to be patient when waiting for women. They are not punctual. It's your fault that you have to come so early." In fact, Rooney was also very impatient, but compared to Wang Li, he had more experience and of course his psychological endurance was much stronger.

"What? Who wants to come so early? It's you who woke me up so early. I wanted to skip training today and sleep in." Wang Li complained with a sigh. He didn't want to come at first. After shopping with Angela once, he was very disgusted with shopping. However, he could not resist Rita's tactful invitation and Rooney's verbal attack.

Of course, Rita's invitation was the most important. Faced with the sudden tactful tone of this strong woman, Wang Li couldn't say no. In fact, he didn't want to refuse at all in his heart.

"Okay, okay, look, they're coming."

Wang Li turned around and saw three fashionably dressed women walking towards them, followed by a man wearing sunglasses. After a closer look, he recognized that this was not Neckham, so who else could it be?

"Oh my god, David, you're here too?"

"Victoria asked me to come. She said you all should go shopping together since we don't have to train today anyway." Beckham took off his sunglasses and replied with a smile.

"Okay, let's go quickly. I can't wait any longer." Victoria urged.

The main characters of shopping are of course women. Three women were chattering in the front. They visited almost every store. Most of the time, they did not buy anything but just looked. This made Wang Li speechless and he had no interest at all.

When a woman goes shopping alone, it is called loneliness; when two women go shopping together, it is called enjoyment; but when three women go shopping, especially three fashionable girls shopping in a world-class shopping mall, it is a tragedy for the man who works as a porter.

Among the three men, except for Beckham who occasionally walked up to give some suggestions, Wang Li and Rooney had been following and watching with expressionless faces. They had perseverance but no patience.

"By the way, it suddenly occurred to me that there is a Dolce & Gabbana branch on Dilkasse Street. I went there two years ago and it was pretty good. Why don't we go there together?" More than two hours later, Beckham suddenly turned around and suggested to Wang Li and the other man beside him.

"What about them...?" Rooney asked, pointing at the three women in front who looked very interested.

Before he could finish, Beckham took two quick steps and told Victoria the news. Then he said they would have dinner together later and took Wang Li to the elevator. In fact, he couldn't stand it. It was really meaningless to follow behind slowly. Even he couldn't stand shopping for a long time.

More than half an hour later, they finally arrived at their destination. It was a shop with very luxurious decoration. It was more like a communication hall than a shop. From the outside, there were no goods inside, only a few models placed in the corner. That's right, this was the Lisbon branch of the Italian Dolce & Gabbana company. This kind of shop targets high-income customers. They can provide many services such as clothing customization, hair design, image building and even plastic surgery. Of course, the price is not affordable for ordinary people.

"Alan, I think you should have a few sets of clothes designed for you and a new hairstyle. With your figure and looks, the effect will definitely be very good." Beckham looked at Wang Li carefully and suggested with a smile.

"Really? Well, let's take a look."

This was Wang Li's first time to visit such a luxurious place: the gray and white grid-patterned floor seemed transparent and one could not tell what material it was made of; the finely carved wooden tables and chairs, each of which was placed there like a work of art, with almost no flaws; the exquisite paintings hanging on the wall, although their value was unclear, would definitely not be cheap in Wang Li's opinion. Overall, this room gave Wang Li a feeling of luxury and sophistication.

From this we can see that the consumption prices here will definitely be astonishing.

Seeing the arrival of the world-class star Beckham, the waiter immediately asked them to sit down and directly called over the top image designer here, Melgellan Izecs Santos.

After chatting with the famous designer, Beckham asked him to design images for Wang Li and Rooney, and had a discussion with Melgellan about the two of them. Wang Li and Rooney were puzzled and looked at each other, and could only accept the kindness of this senior with a wry smile.

However, everyone loves beauty. In fact, both of them would certainly have expectations for this in their hearts.
