Chapter 781 Benefit Performance

Chen Yu's parents and grandparents left England on the fourth day after the Champions League final. The season has ended and the club has not given the players a holiday. As the double champion of the league and the Champions League, Liverpool has achieved amazing results and great honors this season. The club also hopes to take the opportunity to publicize itself and reshape the club's image. Therefore, the club arranged some activities after the end of the season, including interactive activities with fans and social welfare activities. These activities require superstars like Chen Yu and Gerrard to participate in to attract the attention of journalists and fans.

Although such activities will delay some rest time, this is related to the club's future development. Chen Yu and Gerald are willing to sacrifice some time to cooperate. Besides, the stars like them have much less time to take vacations than ordinary stars. This season, they have postponed many advertising contracts for the league championship, and those are their funders. Now that the league is over, it is time for them to repay. Now that the club is doing activities, they pay them back together, and then let go of everything and relax for a while.

The Liverpool Club's activities are organized by Liverpool's sponsor Adidas.

This is also the second time Adidas has joined hands with Liverpool. During the 10-year period from 1985-86 to 1995-96 season, Liverpool's jerseys were provided by "Three-Leaf" Adidas. Since Liverpool's performance in the 10 years was mediocre, the two sides later broke up peacefully in the 1995-96 season, Liverpool transferred to the Reebok camp.

In August 2005, Adidas spent $4 billion to successfully acquire Reebok, and then reintegrated its resources. Liverpool's jersey sponsor also changed from Reebok to Adidas. Chen Yu was able to transfer from Fiorentina to Liverpool. Adidas also contributed behind the scenes, otherwise it would be difficult for Liverpool's finances to win Chen Yu. Although Chen Yu's transfer fee was reduced due to injury, his annual salary was the second best in the world.

The significance of Adidas's market to win over the Reds again is to re-election with Nike in the Premier League. Adidas has been hostile to the British due to its company's country (Germany), which has led to their delay in opening up the Premier League market. After Nike signed Manchester United and Arsenal one after another, Adidas could only sit idly by the world's biggest competitor. However, after Abraham took over Chelsea, Adidas seized the turnaround in the market and successfully became Chelsea's jersey sponsor in the 2005-06 season.

After annexing Reebok, Adidas successfully won over his old client Liverpool. Therefore, Adidas and Nike each accounted for half of the jersey power map of the Premier League semifinals.

However, Chelsea's foundation is slightly inferior to Manchester United and Arsenal. Liverpool has been in a downturn for many years. Many people are not optimistic about Adidas's competition with Nike. However, after Adidas helped Liverpool buy Chen Yu, Liverpool rose rapidly this season and won the league and Champions League championships in one fell swoop. Adidas's jerseys and sneakers sales have soared, and their layout in the Premier League has also received perfect returns.

The event organized by Adidas is aimed at children of Liverpool fans around the world and children who like football. They hope to raise funds to help these children who like football through a game with fans before Children's Day.

At that time, Liverpool players will wear jerseys without advertising logos. After the game, this special edition jersey of Liverpool will be auctioned. All fans will have the opportunity to get this jersey, and all the benefits will be used to support children who like football.

The day of participating in the event was Chen Yu's most comfortable sleep. The game was over, and his parents and grandparents returned to China. Zhao Muyu and Zhang Youzhen went to work on their business. Zhang Shubin was busier than Chen Yu. For an agent, the end of the league was the beginning of their work, especially a superstar agent. At this time, their social engagements would be twice as many agents in the world. Now, Chen Yu is the only one in a huge villa.

After getting up, he washed his face, brushed his teeth, went to the small ball court in the yard to play with the ball, moved his body, breathed in fresh air, and returned to the living room, Chen Yu turned on his phone and began to watch the missed calls and text messages he received from last night to the present.

There were many phone calls and text messages. If Chen Yu didn't turn off the phone, he couldn't sleep. Chen Yu browsed it roughly, mainly because of the call from relatives and friends. After calling several times, he might have urgent matters, so he went back and called only once. He waited for them to call again. What disappointed Chen Yu was that his girlfriend Kayla Knightley had never called after leaving.

After processing the phone message, Chen Yu came to the kitchen. Sure enough, Zhao Muyu had already prepared breakfast for him when he went to his company. A cup of hot coffee, a piece of bread coated with olive oil and a ham. This is a typical Italian breakfast. After coming to Liverpool, Zhao Muyu still did not change the habit she developed in Italy.

After breakfast, Chen Yu drove the Bentley luxury car he had just bought to Anfield Stadium to participate in the event.

There is no need to prepare for the teams organized by fans, and the winner is meaningless. Although the amateur game in England is the most developed in the world, there is no possibility of amateur players causing any trouble for a Premier League team. When Chen Yu came to Anfield, most of his teammates did not come. The only few people also sat in the locker room to chat, and no one went to prepare for the event.

"Good morning, Chen."

Seeing Chen Yu arrive, Gerald and several players who came first greeted Chen Yu.

Chen Yu smiled and greeted them, and then said, "How much will the score be today? Does the club have instructions?"

Gerald shrugged and said, "The coach didn't say it, just say it's not too ugly."

Alonso said: "We are top-notch for amateurs, so how much can we say it is not ugly."

Chen Yu said: "Four to one or five to one, let's get four to five, let's get one, and everyone will be happy."

Gerald said: "Well, don't go more than 7. I have to tell Renner, just save it slowly, don't save all the good balls in front, and let the water be released from behind too much."

Several people in the locker room burst into laughter after hearing this.

After half an hour, Liverpool players arrived one after another. They changed into the special jersey prepared by Adidas and walked towards the stadium.

Although it was just a charity performance, it was a game for the fans themselves. The fans who came to Anfield Stadium were no less than a normal Premier League match, and there were even more reporters, but the reporters were all for big names such as Chen Yu and Gerald.

Liverpool fans are also full of enthusiasm, but this is the first time in history that they have not cheered for Liverpool but their own team.

There is naturally nothing to say about the process and result of the game. The gap between the Premier League double champion and ordinary amateur fans is even bigger than that. Everything is under the control of Liverpool players, but the only accident is on goalkeeper Renner.

Reina followed the instructions of the captain and coach and chose a beautiful shot to put it into the net. The volley in the penalty area also brought the first climax in the stands. However, with one minute left in the game, an accident happened. The team where the fans were in a shot hit the Liverpool defender and flew into the net, turning the score into 4:2.

Of course, the fans of this score are not ugly, but the players are a bit ugly. In this minute and three minutes of stoppage time, the Liverpool player really played for a while, and Chen Yu instantly scored a goal by three players, and Gerald used his long shot to make the score easily turn into 6:2.

The referee saw that if this continued, Liverpool could score more than double digits after stoppage time, so he decisively ended the game just one minute after stoppage time.

6:2 is also a score that makes fans excited. After the game, the amateur team immediately changed from opponents to fans, and they all frantically chased Chen Yu, Gerrard and other stars to take photos and ask for autographs. On the fan forum and social software, fans were also discussing the game enthusiastically. The focus was on how big the score would be if Liverpool played seriously with the fans. Of course, there was no conclusion. Some fans believed that the English fans were of high level and being able to score two goals in Liverpool was proved. Some fans believed that Liverpool was useless even one-tenth of their strength, otherwise it might be a basketball score.

The reporter also interviewed Liverpool stars after the game and asked them what they thought of sacrificing their holidays to participate in such an event.

Liverpool players have no complaints about this. Chen Yu said he likes such activities very much, which not only increases the feelings between team players and fans, but also helps children in the world who have no chance to play football.

"Fans are the foundation of professional football, and he is very happy to play football for fans," said Gerald.

Alonso believes that the amateur fans in England are higher than those in Spain. He likes the football atmosphere in England very much. He also wishes children all over the world to be happy from the football activity.

The morning's charity show ended, and in the afternoon, Liverpool players went to an orphanage to show their love, sent football and jerseys to the children, and brought two trophies to the orphanage to take photos with the trophies.

At the end of the event, Liverpool owners Gillette and Hicks finally gave up tens of millions of bonuses to the players. Gillette and Hicks set up heavy prizes at the beginning of the season because they never thought that Liverpool could play so well. In their opinion, winning a championship is a miracle, but they ended up winning the double championship.
