What kind of football player is handsome?

Chapter 101 Charity Match Arrives! Manchester United VS Ronaldo/Zidane's Friends Team! Are they going to humiliate the old men?!

Liu Yi suggested they reschedule for another day, and Kelly Brook readily agreed.

He then went to Yi Di's "privacy" private message and added: "There's no better time than today."

"Let's set the date for tonight."

Clearly, the former Premier League babe has just broken up with her boyfriend, and it's a time when she needs both mental and physical nourishment.

Insatiable desires led Kelly to seek something different this time.

If Liu Yi refused Kelly, who was very open-minded, it would seem like he was being unromantic.

Our Avalon can't lose face!

Fully armed, Liu Yi appeared in the presidential suite on the top floor of the Hilton King Hotel.

Knock on the door.

Kelly had already changed into her battle gear.

With Christmas approaching, she wore a Santa hat, red hot pants, and tied a red ribbon in a knot on Mount Targon, lounging lazily by the bathtub.

"Would you like to open it yourself and take a look?"

Liu Yi smiled slightly.

This is a nice Christmas gift!

Coincidentally, he had also prepared a gift for Kelly.

(One thousand words omitted here)

The next morning.

Kelly looked radiant.

"I didn't expect you to score so many goals on the field, and off the field too—"

Of course, Kelly's fighting prowess also surprised Liu Yi.

Especially continuous squat training.

Fortunately, Liu Yi had long since shed the label of being physically weak.

In the end, I passed the test smoothly.

As she was leaving, Kelly winked and hinted, half-jokingly, that she wouldn't mind signing a short-term contract with Liu Yi until she found another job.

It's calculated by the day.

Liu Yi thought to himself, "This girl changes teams as frequently as Anelka, so I don't dare to give her a long-term contract."

In the afternoon, Liu Yi returned to the Carrington training base.

The Chinese striker was initially worried that after a night of intense training, he might be exhausted during the Scottish coach's high-intensity training session.

Unexpectedly, today's schedule only included simple restorative activities.

After only about an hour, Ferguson blew his whistle to signal everyone to assemble.

"There's one last thing to do for UNICEF's event!"

"It has been agreed that a charity match will be held at Old Trafford tomorrow!"

"Our opponents are 'Zidane and Ronaldo and their friends'!"

Everyone looked at each other.

"Zidane and Ronaldo are both goodwill ambassadors for the United Nations, and the proceeds from this charity match will be donated to impoverished and war-torn regions of Africa."

"Everyone gets a chance to play, don't worry, just treat it as an entertainment match. Your opponents are just a bunch of old men in their forties and fifties!"

That night.

The full roster for "Zidane, Ronaldo and Friends Team" has been announced.

Goalkeepers: Barthez, Lehmann; Defenders: Salgado, Popescu, Cannavaro, Capdevila, Hierro, Paulo Andre; Midfielders: Makelele, Davies, Zidane, Figo, Nedved, Pires, Hagi; Forwards: Drogba, Ronaldo, Yorke.

Most people were stunned when they received the list.

[Wasn't this supposed to be a charity match? This lineup definitely isn't an All-Star game.]

[There are several Ballon d'Or winners here, right? Didn't Cannavaro just retire this year? Hierro can still play, can't he?]

[Ronaldo also just retired this year. Let's have a rational discussion: who is more formidable, the 36-year-old Ronaldo or the 26-year-old Gao Lin?]

[Makelele and Davies, this top-class defensive midfield duo, actually appeared in a charity match?!]

Putting everything else aside, is Drogba serious?! He's a top-tier center forward in the league right now!!

With so many superstars, it's natural that a renowned coach is needed to keep things in order!

The head coach is Marcello Lippi, the "Silver Fox" who led Italy to victory five years ago.

After creating a "champion's curse" in the 10 World Cup (the defending champion was eliminated in the group stage), Lippi resigned and is currently unemployed.

Reports indicate that Mr. Xu, who has been making waves in the Chinese Super League recently, hopes to have "Silver Fox" take the helm and lead Guangzhou Evergrande to the top of Asia.

12 month 16 day.

Old Trafford stadium was packed to capacity.

The camera pans to the private room.

Celebrities from all walks of life gathered.

As a commentator who can cross over into the tennis world, Zhan Jun is also very knowledgeable about it.

"This is British tennis star Andy Murray. Although he has not yet won a Grand Slam title, he is considered one of the favorites to win gold at next year's home Olympics."

77

"Now the camera turns to Ronnie O'Sullivan, the British snooker star nicknamed 'The Rocket.' Chinese fans are very familiar with him; he currently holds the world number one ranking."

"This is someone Chinese football fans will all be familiar with: Bora Milutinovic, the legendary coach who led the Chinese national team to the 02 World Cup. He is here today as a special guest, standing next to the commentary booth."

"Oh? There's a Manchester City legend in the stands. This is Alf-Halland, a former Leeds United and Manchester City player, who are considered old rivals of Manchester United. But it's a charity match, so these on-field grudges are naturally irrelevant. Besides, given Keane's recent strained relationship with Sir Alex Ferguson, we probably won't be seeing him in the stands at Old Trafford anytime soon."

"That chubby, adorable little boy next to him must be his son, Erling Harland!"

"What an adorable kid! If he plays football in the future, he'll definitely be a very elegant striker like Liu Yi."

Inside the changing room.

Ferguson gave him many instructions.

Don't let the score difference become one-sided; a narrow loss to the "friends team" would be a win-win situation.

"There's another match in two days, so each of you only needs to play half a game in this one."

Former Italian referee Collina, nicknamed "Hawk-Eye," will officiate this match.

Inside the players' tunnel.

The superstars exchanged pleasantries and enjoyed themselves immensely.

Liu Yi stared at Fat Luo's already showing pregnant belly.

Is it really possible to still play matches?

"My dear friends!"

"The starting lineup for this match!"

"Zidane, Ronaldo, and their friends' starting lineup!"

"The goalkeeper is number 16, Barthez."

"The four defenders are: Salgado (No. 14), Popescu (No. 3), Cannavaro (No. 23), and Capdevila (No. 15)!"

"The four midfielders are: 4 Makelele, 6 Davids, 10 Zidane, and 7 Figo!"

"Two strikers: Ronaldo (No. 9) and Drogba (No. 11)."

"Manchester United!"

"The goalkeeper is number 1, De Gea."

"The four defenders are: Fabio (No. 20), Ferdinand (No. 5), Phil Jones (No. 4), and Evra (No. 3)."

"Midfielders: Nani (No. 17), Carrick (No. 16), Giggs (No. 11), Park Ji-sung (No. 13)!"

"The front row still features the duo of Liu Yi and Rooney!"

Game start.

The "Friends Team" kicked off first.

Ronaldo dribbled the ball, slowly advancing past the halfway line.

Although he only officially retired this year.

But his physique doesn't look like someone who just retired.

It can only be said that since fading out of the center of European football and returning to Brazil, the "alien" seems to have completely relaxed and is living a very comfortable life.

After all, Ronaldo became famous at a young age and has already made a fortune.

I heard he also wants to buy a club in one of the top five European leagues to experience being a boss.

Manchester United's defense was too lenient.

Giggs, with his hands behind his back, followed Ronaldo at a leisurely pace, like an old man taking a stroll.

They broke into the restricted area.

Ronaldo stumbled and pedaled out with two quick steps.

A low shot.

He shot straight into De Gea's arms.

The Spanish goalkeeper is still too young.

Why don't you just avoid it and let Ronaldo score first?

De Gea: What do you mean by an actor's self-discipline?!

It's Manchester United's turn to attack.

Park Ji-sung dribbles the ball and quickly moves through midfield.

Makelele and Davis!

If these two were ten years younger, their combination would absolutely terrify all the European powerhouses.

Unfortunately, it's 2011 now.

Claude Makelele is currently serving as an assistant coach under Carlo Ancelotti, helping Paris Saint-Germain in their quest for the Champions League title.

Edgar Davies, nicknamed "The Wild Boar," plays a dual role as both a coach and a player in the Dutch second division.

"Park Ji-sung!"

"Leave it to Liu Yi in the middle lane!"

"Give it to the diagonal front."

"Nani!"

"Cross the ball!"

"Rooney, a powerful volley from the center!"

"Goal! One to zero!"

Liu Yi was stunned.

Cannavaro's time to win the Ballon d'Or is not far off.

That was five years ago, when Italy won the World Cup in 2006.

However, after that, especially after 08, Cannavaro showed signs of fatigue.

After returning to Juventus, he was no longer the player he once was.

Towards the end of his career, he moved to West Asia, where his performance was so poor that he was heavily criticized by Arab media as an "incompetent money-grubber."

This seems to be the fate of all short center-backs. Once their physical functions begin to decline, their already weak physical strength is exposed. Unable to predict and block shooting routes with accurate positioning and quick speed, their form naturally deteriorates rapidly.

Even if you're terrible, you shouldn't have to watch Rooney score!

After scoring, Rooney didn't even bother to celebrate and went straight back to his own half.

"See that? Enjoy the game, kid. You're here to have fun!"

Rooney and Liu Yi high-fived in celebration, signaling the young man to relax and enjoy the moment.

At Manchester United, attending these charity matches is always unavoidable.

After Rooney scored the first goal, everyone on the field clearly felt more relaxed.

In the middle, Zidane passed the ball to his former teammate Figo on the right.

He dribbled past Fabio on the left wing.

The former captain of Portugal delivered a direct cross!

De Gea's teamwork this time was flawless.

He pretended to land a beat slower, letting the ball slide right past him.

It was missed by Drogba, who was lying in ambush at the far post.

Although it was my first time participating in this kind of charity match.

But Warcraft knows how to ignite the entire arena.

Without making any adjustments, he deftly broke through the goal with a delicate, cross-legged kick!

"1:1!"

"Both sides are back to square one!"

"The tone of the competition has now been set."

"That means we don't need to worry about winning or losing; we can do whatever makes the audience happy!"

In the stands, fans began chanting, "Ronaldo! Ronaldo!"

Ronaldo, eight months pregnant, slowly started his run from midfield.

"Ronaldo!"

"He's gotten past Park Ji-sung, Carrick, and Giggs in a row!"

"Pass Ferdinand again!"

Ronaldo, panting heavily, waved his hand and laughed as he passed the ball to Drogba, who had made a run into the box.

"Come on, come on, I—I can't run anymore."

Drogba received the ball and, amidst cheers from the crowd, gently kicked it back to Ronaldo.

Ronaldo flicked his foot in mid-air with the instep.

De Gea swore.

This time he didn't hold back.

The football slipped through the Spanish goalkeeper's fingers and into the net.

One to two!

"Even after retirement, these phenomenal strikers' shooting skills are still top-notch."

"Let's have a rational discussion: if Ronaldo played only ten minutes per game, just ten minutes, would his performance still be world-class?"

The game restarted after the lap time.

After Ronaldo's performance, it was Zidane's turn to show off his skills.

It's Drogba again, dribbling down the left flank.

He's used to playing as a target man at Chelsea.

"Dwight Howard" is going to have a good time playing as a winger against Manchester United.

He lobbed the ball to the other side of the penalty area.

Zidane arrived on horseback.

Extend your left foot!

An incredible volley!

"Bang!"

The crisp sound of the instep striking the ball sent the fans at Old Trafford into a frenzy.

Immediately, a wave of ecstasy swept through the stands.

Zidane's signature move – the volleyball from beyond the heavens!

De Gea is truly helpless.

This time, he gave it his all, perhaps even nine-tenths of his strength.

But they still couldn't stop that shot that went straight into the corner of the goal.

Could it be that...?

Even Zidane, who has been away from the field for many years and is eager to coach Real Madrid.

His shooting accuracy is far beyond what ordinary midfielders in the Premier League can achieve.

It does!

Zidane is currently in charge of some of the training work for Real Madrid B team.

Reports indicate that during a long-range shooting contest in training, none of the young players on Team B were able to compete with him.

"1:3!"

"Zidane, Ronaldo, and Drogba all step up!"

"Now it's Manchester United's stars' turn to shine!"

One act ends, another begins.

The three players who scored the most spectacular goals in Manchester United's squad.

There are two on the field and one off the field.

"Liu, shall we try a 'flying celestial' kick too?!"

Rooney made no attempt to hide his intentions, dribbling forward while shouting loudly at Liu Yi, who was following up at the far end.

Liu Yi pointed to the top of his head.

I haven't decided on what action to take yet.

Send it over first.

Rooney crosses the ball.

The ball dropped rapidly.

Just as Liu Yi was pondering how to handle the ball...

Cannavaro, who had stood still with his hands on his hips watching Rooney score the last time, suddenly started moving without any sportsmanship.

Why do you start defending when it's my turn to kick?

Bullying the younger generation, is that it?

Cannavaro was getting closer and closer.

Liu Yi had a flash of inspiration.

He turned his back to the goal.

Cannavaro was stunned.

What kind of operation is this?

But his instinct to rush forward had already compelled him to get in front of Liu Yi.

The black-haired boy in front of me didn't make any further adjustments.

In a flash, he twisted his body, his whole body spinning like a top, completing a 180-degree turn.

He swung his right leg sharply to meet the falling ball.

A stunning backheel volley!

The arc of light transformed into a white line tearing through the air, heading straight for the top corner of the goal guarded by Barthez.

The French "bald-headed goalkeeper" also has a nickname.

"Butterfingers 1.0"

That's right, this goalkeeper who won the "Yashin Award" and represented France to win the 98 World Cup and the 00 European Championship is most adept at hurting those well-dressed coaches sitting on the bench with all sorts of inexplicable mistakes.

This time is no exception.

Barthez saved the ball and put it into the goal!

Lippi's gaze fell on Liu Yi, who had just scored a brilliant goal.

A barely perceptible flicker crossed his eyes.

Could it be that...?

Does that vast and mysterious land of the East truly harbor many young people like Liu Yi, whose talents have been buried?
