It has been raining all year round, and it is all that kind of misty light rain, not heavy, but very wet.
When you are in a good mood, when you encounter this kind of rain, you will have the artistic conception of "the light rain on the street is as moist as soft as a crisp, and the grass is close to you but not close". But if you are in a bad mood and are upset, when you encounter this kind of rain, you will feel that "the rain is getting loud during the Qingming Festival, and pedestrians on the road are about to break their souls."
But I feel very strange. It doesn’t matter whether it’s good or bad. But I’m a little irritable and worried, just between the former and the latter, which makes the feeling very different, just like Yang Cheng now.[]
In the park of the community, he put on a sweatshirt hat and ran along the trail, allowing the waving rain to fall on him, his face full of water, but he squinted his eyes and looked ahead, running non-stop.
Last night he met Florentino, Piri and Butragno. The three Real Madrid giants were really sincere. Florentino personally promised that he would agree to all his coaching conditions and would give him a top-level annual salary that was more than any superstar in Real Madrid and more than Mourinho.
In addition, Florentino also promised that Yang Cheng's portrait rights club would make an exception and allow him to personally retain it. At the same time, he promised that Yang Cheng's portrait rights would definitely take Yang Cheng's portrait rights to a higher level.
You should know that Yang Cheng is now the most influential brand in the football field. Not long ago, Fox announced the value rankings of world sports brands in the past year. Among them, in terms of clubs, Manchester United continues to rank first in the world, Real Madrid ranks second, and both giant teams surpassed the baseball team of the New York Yankees.
However, in the ranking of sports stars, Yang Cheng is the only head coach shortlisted and the only head coach among the top 30. He ranks first among all sports stars with a brand value of US$136.5 million, surpassing the 103 million US dollars of Tiger Woods, the king of golf.
In addition, Yang Cheng ranks first in the three major rankings of the Internet, media and TV rankings, and his appearance rate even surpasses Barcelona's double-produced footballer Ronaldinho, and Barcelona star has a net worth of US$31 million. The Internet ranking is only third, and his TV ranking has fallen to 17th.
Another interesting data is that the brand value of Barcelona's entire team is only US$130 million. It lost to Yang Cheng a fraction of the time, and the latter ranked 8th in the brand value of sports teams, leading the American baseball team Boston Red Sox and the rugby team Washington Redskin.
Among the brand value of the event, the brand value of the World Cup is US$103 million.
In other words, in terms of brand value, Caesar Yang Cheng's brand surpasses sports superstars such as Kobe, Beckham, O'Neal and Federer, ranking first on the individual list, and his value is also higher than that of the entire Barcelona team and the World Cup.
This is simply an incredible business achievement for individuals, and what has made all this is undoubtedly Yang Cheng’s outstanding achievements over the years, as well as Heidi Krum and Sienna Miller, who have quietly planned and promoted the brand building for him behind him. These two strong women have joined hands to create this successful sports brand.
It is precisely because of the success that Florentino's guarantee to Yang Cheng becomes more tempting, because no one knows what level will the Yang Cheng brand reach if it moves forward.
Of course. This is just to tempt Yang Cheng from the perspectives of fame and fortune, but Florentino also knows that Yang Cheng not only values money, but also values trust, power and environment. Therefore, in these aspects, he also gave Yang Cheng a sufficient commitment to ensure that he will get all the power he can get in Liverpool at Real Madrid.
This is undoubtedly a huge concession.
It should be said that Florentino went north to Liverpool this time and opened the biggest bargaining chips he could give and the greatest sincerity, but even so, Yang Cheng still did not directly give a positive answer.
He just tactfully advised Florentino to continue to stay in Real Madrid. As for whether to take over Real Madrid next season, Yang Cheng said that he would consider it carefully after the end of the season, but he would not make any comments or make any promises before the end of the season.
This is also Yang Cheng’s usual style!
Florentino talked with Yang Cheng for a night, and finally he knew that he could not convince Yang Cheng to make a promise immediately, so he said that he would continue to stay in the position of Real Madrid presidential position, but he also gave a bottom line, hoping that Yang Cheng would give him a reply after the Champions League final, and Yang Cheng also agreed.
After running around the park, Yang Cheng returned home panting, pushed the door open, pulled off his somewhat wet hat, took off his sneakers, put them on the shoe cabinet to dry, and Sienna brought a towel on the side.
"Thank you!" Yang Cheng took it, wiped the rain on his face, and walked upstairs barefoot to take a shower.
Sienna was wearing a loose thin cotton pajama, which looked like a dress, with blonde hair tied behind her head into a ponytail, and the bangs on the front were a bit messy, but they had a unique taste. She wrapped her hands in front of her chest, revealing her perfect breast shape and the bumps on it, leaning against the wall beside the bathroom door, without saying anything.
Avril went to Germany yesterday morning. She came to Liverpool last night. She happened to hear about Yang Cheng and Florentino meeting. From the perspective of a businessman, she felt that Yang Cheng had no reason to oppose joining Real Madrid, which would definitely greatly enhance his fame and influence.
Even when Yang Cheng was going to come to Liverpool from Inter Milan, Sienna was quite opposed because Liverpool could not provide the platform of Real Madrid, Manchester United, or even Chelsea. However, Yang Cheng just said that he was going to Liverpool, and then no one said anything more.
This time the same is true!
Sienna will not express any opinions on this matter. She is a smart woman who knows when to do what. She will not say anything before Yang Cheng makes a decision, but once Yang Cheng makes a decision, she will fully support and cooperate.
After taking a shower, Yang Cheng and Sienna sat at the dining table and had breakfast face to face.
Yang Cheng always eats very quickly. He seems to be in a hurry and eats voraciously.
"Slow down, this is not good for the stomach!" Sienna complained in Heidi Krum's tone, handing over a glass of water. "A person in his thirties doesn't pay attention to maintenance. Your stomach has never been very good. It's because you eat too quickly."
Yang Cheng raised his eyes, looked at her, and shook his head with a smile. "You are like a housekeeper!"
"I can't control you!" Sienna said angrily. This man is very arrogant and no one can control him.
Yang Cheng smiled and said nothing, but continued his plan to swallow.
"By the way, there is a document later, you can sign the name!" Sienna almost forgot.
Yang Cheng nodded, and after eating, he came to the living room and picked up a few documents on the table without even looking at them. He picked up a pen on the table and wanted to sign his name.
"Please, can you take a closer look when signing the documents?" Sienna gave him a blank look.
"Didn't you read it?" Yang Cheng found it funny. "By the way, what documents are these?"
"I will sell you sooner or later!" Sienna glared at him angrily, "I mentioned to you before that a friend had a luxury villa on the shore of Lake Windermere to sell. I think the price is quite cheap. You said you wanted to buy it, this is a transfer document."
Yang Cheng thought hard and thought about it, it seemed that such a thing was true, "Oh, that flooded town!"
Lake Windermere is the most beautiful lake in the UK. It is about 100 kilometers north of Liverpool. It only takes one and a half to two hours to drive by yourself. It is a very famous resort in England.
Previously, Sienna Miller strongly recommended Yang Cheng to travel, and said that there was a romantic poet, "Windermere Lake can make people forget the differences in life, age, wealth, and you will easily get lost in the beautiful scenery, forget time, and feel like you have ten years in the sky, one day, and one earth."
Yang Cheng excitedly pulled her up to go for a two-person tour, but when he went to that place, he found that there was a beautiful view. A large area near the lakeside of the town was flooded by the lake. It was said that it had risen and even the lake was not allowed to go, and the swans had all gone ashore.
"Where is what is flooded? Is that the characteristic of Lake Windermere, okay?" Sienna giggled by his exaggerated expression. She really liked that place, it was so beautiful.
Yang Cheng shrugged, "Anyway, you just like it." He has indeed had a lot of houses, especially in the past two or three years, Sienna and Heidi Krum are optimistic about real estate, so they have purchased many luxury houses with high cost performance for Yang Cheng.
In addition to the previous luxury house that has appreciated many times on the shore of Lake Como, Yang Cheng also has a luxury villa in Venice, the water city. He had previously purchased a half-mountain luxury house in Hollywood, the United States, and in addition, he also bought a offshore luxury house in Dubai last year, so many houses were so numerous that he could not live in.
These are just houses written in his name, not his name. There is a large area of land in his hometown. There is a farm he gave to Charlize Theron on the Gold Coast of Australia. In addition, Yang Cheng bought a quiet pastoral mansion in Frankfurt for Heidi Crum, and a luxurious villa for Sienna Miller in London. He has bought a lot of properties over the years.
But it’s true that these houses are very good in terms of location and environment. They will definitely appreciate in value when they are in their hands.
He didn't care much about real estate. Almost every place was carefully selected, so it appreciated relatively. The most obvious one was the one on the shore of Lake Como, which had increased by nearly 10 times in the past few years. If it were someone else, he would be very happy, but Yang Cheng decided to stay and live in it himself, and the same was true for other houses.
Perhaps it is because he still has a deep traditional Chinese complex in his bones, and he always feels that real estate is more stable than money, and he is possessive and refuses to sell it if he likes it.
His ideal life is that when he gets old, he will go to northern England in summer, which is cooler, and in winter, he will go to Australia's Gold Coast, which is warmer, and in spring and autumn, he will go to Italy, France, Germany and other places for a walk.
Wow, I don’t know how moisturized it would be that day!

After a week of rest, Liverpool welcomed Charlton at Anfield Stadium.
This time, Yang Cheng sent all the main players to play, goalkeeper Renner and defense are Riser, Vidic, Carragher and Glen Johnson, and midfielders are Essin, Carrick and Gerald respectively. The frontcourt tridents are Ronaldo, Drogba and Robben.
Liverpool's lineup, which was rated as the most lethal European lineup this season by European media, massacred Charlton at Anfield Stadium. In the first half, he led Charlton 4:0 with the braces of Drogba, Ronaldo and Gerald.
After the second half of the game, Liverpool made two substitutions, substituting Ronaldo and Gerrard. They kept their strength for the mid-week Champions League knockout stage, but other players continued to chase and beat Charlton 6:0 at home, and continued to occupy the Premier League leader.
Although Chelsea reversed West Bromvic 2-1 away, Liverpool still maintained an 8-point lead.
Just like Yang Cheng's decisive battle mobilization early, Mourinho also shouted that he would maintain a record of winning in the next 10 games after the end of this game.
"We want to win all the games and wait for Liverpool to make a mistake!"
Yang Cheng did not respond to this, but Liverpool beat the visiting Werder Bremen 3:1 at Anfield Stadium in the mid-week Champions League match, eliminated Werder Bremen with a total score of 5:4, and successfully entered the quarterfinals.
In another game in the quarterfinals, Chelsea was eliminated 3:2 by Barcelona.
At the Stamford Bridge Stadium in the first leg, after Del Orno was sent off with a red card, Barcelona scored goals one after another, lost 1:2, and went to the Camp Nou Stadium. Although Chelsea finally equalized the score and scored a 1:1 game, they were unable to save the team and were eliminated from the Champions League.
In another game that attracted much attention, Arsenal tied with Real Madrid 0:0 at home, and the Galaxy Battleships were eliminated by Arsenal 0:1 with a total score, defending the Champions League quarterfinals again, which also made Florentino's situation even more difficult.
The day after the Champions League quarterfinals 16 knockout round, UEFA began drawing lots for the quarterfinals 8 knockout rounds.
Liverpool beat Ligue 1 overlord Lyon this time, and the same draws in the same zone are AC Milan and Villarrel; Barcelona's opponent is Eindhoven of the Netherlands, and the other game is Arsenal's encounter with Inter Milan.
The four games are Liverpool and Lyon, and the two games between Arsenal and Inter Milan are quite interesting. As soon as this draw came out, many English media immediately displeased. Why do Premier League teams have to meet strong opponents, while Barcelona and AC Milan have to meet weaker teams?
After learning the lottery results, Yang Cheng was caught and asked by a reporter. He smiled and said, "Drawing any team will not have any impact on us. We will not mind who our opponent is, because we only have one goal, the champion!"
Liverpool players also said in an interview that it is not scary to draw Lyon, and they are confident that they can beat Lyon and advance to the semi-finals.
But after returning to the Premier League, Liverpool was beaten by Arsenal at the Highbury Stadium.
Henry took the lead in using his personal abilities just 11 minutes into the game. With the gap left after Glenn Johnson's forward assist, he took the ball from the left and cut into the penalty area. He drifted over Carragher and drew a curve ball, piercing through the goal guarded by Reiner, 1:0.
Afterwards, Liverpool launched a counterattack. Yang Cheng also strongly encouraged the players during the break. Liverpool played a round of offensive frenzy in the second half. Robben equalized the score for Liverpool in the 81st minute. He dribbled the ball into the right and cut through Lehman's goal, 1:1!
After the equalization, Liverpool took advantage of the situation to pursue and strive to overtake the score, and the players were fighting for a lot of energy.
During the winter break, French midfielder Diabi, who joined Arsenal from Ligue 1 Auxerre, made too much move in a defense and tackled Liverpool's midfielder Carrick. Carrick held a grudge and tackled Diabi in a defense. He was the referee showed his second yellow card in the game and was kicked out of the court by the red card.
This red card ended Liverpool's offensive wave and ended the game. In the end, the two sides tied 1:1.
At the same time, Chelsea defeated Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 at home, shortening the gap with Liverpool to 6 points. After the game, Mourinho received news from near London and learned that Liverpool had tied, he excitedly shouted that he would reverse Liverpool in one breath.
"Facts have proved that Liverpool is at a dead end, and they have no way to continue to maintain this competitiveness. The pressure of multi-line combat has made them feel tired and their physical fitness cannot keep up with the game. This is an excellent opportunity for us to counterattack and reverse."
"In the 30th round of the league, they are about to usher in the Merseyside Derby. Moyes's team will not allow their arch-rivals to win easily. Liverpool will definitely fall on Everton. I will wait in London for good news that Liverpool will lose points!"
Liverpool vs. Everton and Chelsea vs. Manchester City, both teams are not considered strong teams, especially this season, their performance is average and their current ranking is relatively downstream. However, Liverpool faces a derby, and Carrick will be absent. Ronaldo is also suspended due to accumulated yellow cards. This is undoubtedly a very unfavorable factor for Liverpool.
On the other hand, although Chelsea was eliminated from the Champions League, their morale was strong and the team reached a consensus, determined to reverse Liverpool in the league and defend the Premier League champion.
If they didn't have much confidence before, then seeing Liverpool lose points on Arsenal will make their shark smell the smell of blood, and they will not miss any opportunity.
Chapter completed!
