Manchester United's heir apparent, but can't play football.

Chapter 157 Morata Chasing the Golden Boot

Chapter 157 Morata Chasing the Golden Boot (Daily Transition)

In late October in Lower Saxony, the Elbe River shimmers with a pale golden light as it meanders through the reeds, with willow branches drooping along the banks, swaying gently in the breeze.

Li Luo and Tom arrived at the long-awaited Volkswagen filming location.

"Li, the prince of Dream Theater, our best spokesperson!"

Hans greeted him warmly, opening his arms wide with delight.

That expression was as if he were gazing raptly at a rich gold mine.

Over a year ago, Wolfsburg inexplicably loaned Li Luo from Manchester United, conveniently replacing a Chinese Super League signing as the true public face of the club.

Today, the collaboration between the two parties has become a highly successful marketing case study: Li Luo, who is burdened by the dual debuffs of the Chinese national team and Manchester United, shines even brighter.

After simple greetings.

The Volkswagen executive then quietly pulled Tom away, their destination unknown.

Li Luo looked around and saw a familiar figure.

It's Beya.

Without any deliberate embellishment, her striking curves were undeniable. Her blonde hair was wavy, and her gray plaid business uniform accentuated her tall and straight figure. The glasses on her nose added a touch of intellect, and the slightly tight-fitting shirt underneath perfectly outlined her silhouette. Fortunately, the fabric was neat and maintained a dignified appearance.

"Li, it's been a long time." Bei Ya spoke first, her demeanor gentle and quiet.

"Beya, it's been a long time," Li Luo replied politely.

There were too many people around.

Both of them were very serious and didn't seem to know each other very well.

Pretending to chat casually, they slowly walked into a secluded corridor.

Then, cough cough, of course, it's still a clean and simple exchange!
Beiya's tone was full of gratitude: "Li, you're so kind to give me such a good job."

She tossed her long, wavy blonde hair, and a serious expression appeared on her delicate face: "I'll treat you to dinner tonight."

In her mind: the Chinese prodigy is becoming more and more perfect. His playing style on the football field is elegant, making him more and more likable. In life, he has excellent character and even indirectly helps her financially so as not to hurt her self-esteem.

Li Luo shook his head: "Don't take it to heart, it's a small matter."

He is a very principled person.

The girls I met before I realized my talent were all relatively pure friendships, without any other ulterior motives.

Thinking to myself: Indirect financial assistance to Beya? Well, it's not entirely assistance, is it? The Volkswagen advertising campaign was looking for a female partner anyway, so they couldn't just send Morata, Maranda, De Bruyne, and the others to dress as women, could they? They're all so burly.

The atmosphere suddenly became subtle.

The two fell silent, and couldn't help but recall the absurdity of that night.

Beya's cheeks grew redder and redder, her shyness tinged with happiness, her eyes brimming with tears, her mind filled with the sweetness of love.

Li Luo remained expressionless, his mind filled with...
"Li, there's no one here."

"Don't touch me as soon as we meet. I don't like girls doing that."

"I just wanted to repay you properly, what's wrong with that?"

The filming process was very simple.

Li Luo also met Larissa, the Brazilian girl who returned to play the mummy.

The two did not exchange words.

He's a man of principle; he won't have too much interaction with different girls in the same setting.

There may also be another reason: with physical development, aesthetic standards have changed drastically over the past year, and there is no interest whatsoever in flat-chested girls with a refined appearance.

The bearded director looked distressed: Ever since the Bayern Munich pesticide scandal and the subsequent script alterations, he hasn't been able to get autographs from anyone.

After a long time.

Li Luo bid farewell to everyone and secretly arrived at the Wolfsburg base.

Visiting Mr. Black Gold.

The once unparalleled young coach who dominated the Bundesliga now looks haggard, like a down-on-his-luck middle-aged man.

"Teacher Black Gold".

"Li, please sit down."

Black Gold tossed over a bottle of mineral water, looking at Li Luo in front of him. He couldn't help but recall the glorious journey of last season, and sighed deeply.

A few days later.

An advertisement sample has been leaked on the Chinese internet.

It takes a long time.

The gist of the story is: Thieves "speed-through" the Louvre Museum in 7 minutes and steal 8 artifacts, shocking the world with their century-defining heist.

After solving the case, the security personnel were unable to find the coffin containing the mummy of the ancient Egyptian princess Larissa.

Li Luo, accompanied by his assistant Bei Ya, embarks on another treasure hunt.

The story is wholesome.

There was no romantic involvement, and the clothes were made of a lot of fabric.

The journey was fraught with hardship.

At last.

When Li Luo was surrounded by countless strange-looking giant insects.

The screen went black.

The number of clicks and comments continued to surge.
-
[This time was pretty good. That blonde woman can transform into a magic glove, helping me, Luo, overcome obstacles and solve problems along the way.]
-
[The editor doesn't need to overthink the plot; Li Luo's current commercial value alone is enough to achieve an advertising effect.]
-
The Sun will definitely fabricate stories about Li Luo and his female co-star that night.
-
The Hanoverian Report said that Li Luo visited Hei Hai on his way there, which shows he's a really good person. Hei Hai is down on his luck now, but Li Luo still respects his teacher so much.
-
Wolfsburg's sporting director was fired, but they kept him on because of his contribution to the treble-winning season last season.
-
[What? If Perrin is sacked, Hecking might become the interim head coach of the Chinese national football team.]

Time, like a wet whip, relentlessly lashes Manchester United's schedule.

A blink of an eye.

It's Premier League match day again.

Li Luo and the club left Manchester for Birmingham, where they would face Aston Villa.

A bus bearing the Manchester United logo is traveling on the highway.

The chill of autumn in Little Britain seeped in through the car window.

The trees on both sides had long lost their lush greenery, with reddish-brown and golden-yellow leaves clinging to the branches. When the wind blew, they would fall in a rustling sound, spreading across the meadow by the roadside like an overturned palette.

Van Gaal has lifted some of the strict rules and now allows players to use their phones on the team bus.

Last season, there were many minor conflicts and frictions within Manchester United.

For example, after the bus stopped, Falcao refused to get off to sign autographs for Manchester United fans. Van Gaal thought this was undignified and directly ordered the Colombian striker: "Get off the bus!" As a result, Falcao and Van Gaal got into a standoff, and the two stood still for a long time.

Different club captains have different ways of creating a lively atmosphere.

For example, Totti tells jokes, Lahm recounts embarrassing stories, and Casillas conducts trivia quizzes.
As Manchester United's captain, Rooney tells some inappropriate and vulgar jokes:
"A blonde woman, after discovering her husband's infidelity, lost control of her emotions and bought a handgun to express her anger."

"One day she suddenly returned home and caught her husband making love to a red-haired woman in bed."

"So she pointed the gun at her own head. Her husband panicked and jumped out of bed to stop her: 'Don't shoot! You're next!!!'"

"."

Lingard and Luke Shaw burst into laughter.

Maranda looked puzzled, completely unable to comprehend the culture of Little Britain: "How can a husband like that easily win the love of two women?"

De Bruyne and Morata were gesturing and studying passing and positioning: the Spanish striker, who had scored against Bravo after the Barcelona match, had regained the Belgian midfielder's trust. Meanwhile, Li Luo was holding a tablet, repeatedly watching recent Aston Villa match footage.

There are no weak teams in the Premier League, so we cannot be complacent.

Especially when playing away from home.

Every team is confident of breaking through Manchester United's defense.

Villa Park Stadium.

The attendance wasn't very high, but the home fans were quite enthusiastic.

Thanks to the 2012 Olympics, this stadium, built in 1897, underwent a complete renovation and now boasts state-of-the-art facilities.

"Zhuangdianertai! Zhuangdianertai! Good evening, viewers!"

"We are now broadcasting the 2015/16 English Premier League season live."

Aston Villa host Manchester United!

"A TIFO featuring three roaring lions has landed in Holt Stand!"

"The stirring melody and singing echoed throughout the entire stadium."

"This club has a glorious past. On May 26, 1982, they defeated Bayern Munich in the Champions League final to reach the top of Europe!"

"The camera panned to Prince William in the stands."

"And Tom Hanks"

The commentator continued to share interesting anecdotes from Villa's history.

Accompanied by the referee's whistle.

The game officially begins.

Villa have possession of the ball.

Jordan Ayew kicks off and passes the ball back to the backcourt.

Morata quickly moved forward, applying pressure. Gradually, he felt like he was playing a training match: It was so easy. The opponent's defense was also a mess, and their ability to build attacks and pass the ball was also very average.

Full of confidence: Great, this kind of opponent is a stepping stone on my road to winning the Golden Boot!

"An excellent center forward must demonstrate his dominance when facing weaker teams in the league!"

"Dimensional reduction strikes."

"Full power, score goals, rack up stats."

"Ensure the stability of the club!"

Even though Van Gaal continued to employ a wide-space, high-pressing formation today, Villa's backline failed to create efficient attacking opportunities.

in a blink.

Maranda, who moved forward, assisted De Bruyne in making the tackle.

next second.

The football rolled to Li Luo's feet, who had just made a run forward.

Snapped!
The football soared off the ground, tracing a delicate "∩" arc in mid-air, gracefully bypassing Villa's entire defensive line.

"Morata!!!"

"Leg swing in mid-air!"

"Great goal!"

"Offside!"

"The linesman raises his flag."

"."

De Bruyne's face darkened: Morata had actually let down Lee's perfect assist.

Van Gaal clutched his chest in pain: How come this guy is so dominant against Barcelona? But he was caught offside against Aston Villa.
Giggs's lips twitched involuntarily.

After the initial probing...

The outcome of the match gradually lost its suspense.

Manchester United pressed forward aggressively, and the game turned into a positional battle.

"Carrick and De Bruyne are in charge of large-scale scheduling."

"Morata and Li Luo, team up as the attacking duo!"

"A center forward and a shadow forward."

"."

"oops."

"Manchester United's high defensive line is problematic. How could they be so easily overwhelmed by Jordan Ayew's counter-attacks?"

Studio.
-
There are indeed no weak teams in the Premier League; Aston Villa can still break through Manchester United's defense.
-
In this league, there are no weak teams that can pad their stats and scores. Clubs that can survive in the Premier League are never short of money; even if they can't buy top-tier stars, they can still buy excellent second-tier players.
-
Brothers, whatever you do, don't touch Manchester United! Morata's shooting skills and the level of their defense are terrifying!

finally.

The referee blew the final whistle.

Aston Villa 1-4 Manchester United

Li Luomei scored twice.

Mata and De Bruyne each scored a goal.

Morata provided a hat-trick of assists.

Van Gaal and Giggs breathed a sigh of relief; the scoreline didn't fully capture the thrill of playing away.

Li Luo handed the jersey to a young Manchester United fan in the away stands.

A cold, mechanical, synthesized voice quietly began to play.

Congratulations on obtaining: Vera's Golden Chest.

A gleaming golden treasure chest, engraved with a Scottish lion, slowly floated into the air.

[The treasure chest is being opened]
