Chapter 256 The new season begins!
2016 7 Month 10 Day.

Liverpool FC, Melwood Training Base.

"Hey John!"

Lu Feng jumped down from the co-pilot and walked towards John Brown, the old guard at the base.

The other party was slightly taken aback, and then hugged him:
"Chinese star, you are finally back!"

Lu Feng waved to Lu Tianlin who was driving, and then said with a smile:

"Has our Chinese boss owed you wages?"
-
This base... is indeed a bit worn out.

Lu Feng, who returned to Liverpool, carried his training bag and walked in Melwood.

Today is only the first day of the training camp. Considering the European Cup and the Copa America, not many players will come to report.

Sure enough, when he walked into the locker room, there were only 8 players in the room including Mane, Matip, Sakho, Klavan, Gomez, Ilori, Ince, and Manninger.

And this... is all the members of Liverpool's first day of training!

They couldn't even organize a 5vs5 team training match!
This is the normal state of the giants-although Liverpool in this period cannot be called a giant at all, they still have much more international players than Lazio or Sporting Lisbon.

The head coach Klopp didn't complain. After a few words, he led the players to start training.

The training content of the first week was mainly to control weight and restore physical fitness. For Lu Feng who did not gain weight, it was not difficult at all.

It was only when he was measuring his height that he discovered that his height had finally made a huge breakthrough, growing from 173.6 to 175.7, which is roughly equal to 176 after rounding...
-
After the first week of training, several players appeared in the training base one after another.

For example, Belgium's substitute goalkeeper Mignolet, England's marginal substitutes Milner, Lallana and others.

When the second week of training was over and all the players were done reporting, a few more went to Brazil for the upcoming Olympics...

Due to the conflict between the time of the Olympic qualifiers and the World Youth Championship, Lu Feng was unable to participate in the Olympic team. Therefore, this Olympic Games has nothing to do with the Chinese men's football team. He can finally stay in the club with peace of mind and prepare for the new season. physical fitness.

Even so, how can he really prepare for the game in the midst of the rapid development of commercial football?

On July 7th, the Liverpool team flew thousands of miles away to North America, where they will participate in the annual commercial competition - the International Champions Cup!
-
The 2016 International Champions Cup is unprecedented, and the competition consists of three divisions: North America and Europe, China and Australia.

Participating teams include: Paris Saint-Germain, Leicester City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Inter Milan, Celtic, Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, AC Milan, Manchester United, Manchester City, Borussia Dortmund, Juventus, Tottenham Hotspur , Atletico Madrid, and Melbourne Victory, except for the last team that made up the numbers, the other teams are all veteran giants in major leagues, even more dazzling than the Champions League.

But only to the second round of the game, an unpleasant thing happened.

Due to the poor quality of the bird's nest lawn, the newly appointed Manchester United coach Mourinho was very dissatisfied and directly canceled the derby match between Manchester United and Manchester City, which made the Chinese operators lose face and disappointed the Chinese fans.

On July 7, Liverpool ushered in the first round of the International Champions Cup. Their opponent is the league contender, the blue team Chelsea.

"It's a game of grinding the lineup, we need to take it seriously, but don't take too much pressure!"

Klopp encouraged the players like this before the game.

Of course he was right, it was just a commercial performance game, and it really didn't need to go all out to win, as long as the loss wasn't too ugly, most people could accept it.

But Lu Feng obviously didn't have the ability to bear it. Even in commercial competitions, he was unwilling to lose easily!

Under the influence of this kind of fighting spirit, Lu Feng played extraordinarily actively. He completed a hat-trick in only 30 minutes of the match!

CCTV commentator He Wei gave full praise:

"Compared to other players on both sides, Lu Feng is obviously the one in the best condition. After resting for more than a month, he can't wait to start the journey of the new season!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Joao Mario sent an overhead pass!
Lu Feng stepped forward and completed a volley from the side!
4-0!
-
In the first round, they swept Chelsea 5-0.

Three days later, Liverpool, who played in rotation, beat their old rival AC Milan 2-0.

Liverpool, who won both games, then returned to the European base camp, and ushered in the challenge of the third opponent in London-Barcelona!
This is August 8th. Barcelona, ​​which just lost "Crown Prince" Neymar, is obviously out of shape. Coupled with the fact that Coutinho, Rafinha and many other players returned to China to participate in the Olympics, they were suppressed by Liverpool.

When Lu Feng came off the bench in the 60th minute, the score had become 3-0!

Looking at Messi with his tired face and hands on his hips, Lu Feng couldn't help feeling a bit distressed.

In the just-concluded 2016 Copa America Centennial, the club champion once again led Argentina to the final, but once again fell to the place closest to the trophy. The Chilean team led by Sanchez and Vidal, mercilessly fought in a year. Within two times, Messi was blocked from reaching the top!

Facing the disheartened and unintentional Messi, Lu Feng did not make trouble or kill the killer. He symbolically scored twice and added an assist within 30 minutes of coming off the bench, locking the score at 6-0, and then took away the championship trophy of this year's International Champions Cup! -
"Beautiful champ!"

While Liverpool fans were still rejoicing to claim a trophy, their century-old enemy was ahead of them.

In the 2016 Community Shield, the FA Cup champion Manchester United, under the command of coach Mourinho, beat last season's league champion Leicester City 2-1, giving a good start to the new season.

Compared with the winner of the Community Shield, the victory of the International Champions Cup is nothing at all!
Somewhat similar to Liverpool, Manchester United did not introduce too many players this summer, but every new aid cannot be ignored:

The "Swedish God" Ibrahimovic who joined for free from Paris, the first core of Serie A and the strongest midfielder Pogba in France who joined from Juventus with a worth of more than 1 million euros, Dortmund worth 4200 million The midfielder, the Bundesliga assist king Mkhitaryan, and the 3800 million defender dug from Villarreal-Eric Bailly.

Although there are not many newcomers, they add up to more than 1.8 million euros, which can almost buy a peak Neymar!
Under such circumstances, Liverpool is about to usher in the first game of the 2016-17 Premier League season.

And their opponent is Arsenal, which rarely spent 1.1 million in the transfer market!
