All the games of the 2016/2017 season have come to an end, and Liverpool officially announced a holiday after holding the most lively celebration banquet in the city's most upscale hotel.
Willard can finally take Krisna, Desia and others back to the country to take a look.
Throughout the holidays, in addition to signing advertising endorsements and charity activities, Willard has been traveling domestically, and of course aroused the admiration and cheers of many fans wherever he went.
Velarde speaks Chinese, uses chopsticks, and eats hot pot. He looks like a master of China, and he has naturally won the love of countless Chinese fans.
In the meantime, Willard pretended to be passing by and made contact with the orphanage where he was originally located. Then he naturally donated money and materials, which was considered as repayment for the kindness of adoption in his previous life.
At the beginning of July, Liverpool started training, but Willard did not go back because Liverpool will come to Asia for training in a few days and will play several friendly matches in Hong Kong.
On July 16, Willard joined Liverpool in Hong Kong to start pre-season training for the new season.
In Hong Kong, Liverpool played a friendly match with Crystal Palace and Leicester City respectively, then flew to Germany to play three warm-up matches, and then returned to England to prepare for the new season.
During this summer's transfer period, Liverpool, which has just won the quadruple crown of the season and is extremely prosperous, the players in the team are naturally popular in the transfer market.
Of course, the first thing everyone is pursuing is Willard, and the highest transfer fee is more than 300 million.
But Liverpool were also very decisive. They renewed Willard's contract and raised his annual salary to 30 million euros. The appearance fees, goal awards, championship awards, etc. were also greatly increased. He even won the Ballon d'Or, World Player of the Year, and Lawrence Awards. Liverpool Corresponding bonuses will also be given.
In addition, Willard was very happy in Liverpool, and Klopp also valued him very much and gave him the favor of a free agent, so no one dug Willard.
But Coutinho was poached by Barcelona (a year earlier than reality). He performed very well in the Liverpool team last season. Although he was not as good as Willard, his assisting ability was top-notch.
In addition to the honor bonus of the quadruple crown, he was taken away by Barcelona for a transfer fee of more than 100 million euros to replace Neymar, who was transferred to Paris, to provide assistance to Messi.
After Liverpool received Coutinho's transfer fee, they also turned to the Egyptian forward Salah from Serie A Roma and the Dutch center back Van Dijk from Southampton (half a year earlier than reality).
Liverpool didn't make any big moves in other positions. Klopp wanted to buy a good goalkeeper, but unfortunately others refused to let him go, so he could only continue to use Mignolet and Karius.
In terms of numbers, the core number No. 10 left by Coutinho naturally fell on Velarde. With his strength, role, etc., he can rightly wear the No. 10 jersey that symbolizes the absolute core.
With the addition of Van Dijk, Liverpool's goal for the new season is to release Velarde's offensive power, allowing him to devote more energy to offense, shift positions offensively and defensively, and wear the No. 10 jersey that represents the core of the offense. It's also a signal.
Through pre-season training and warm-up matches, Willard's total experience has reached the upgrade standard, reaching level 51, and received an upgrade reward of 60 skill points.
Willard added 60 skill points to consciousness, speed, heading, technique, passing, and reverse footing, and used up all the skill points.

Soon, Liverpool's first game of the new season officially arrived.
On August 6, the 2017 English Community Shield, which is similar to the domestic Super Cup of other leagues, officially started at Wembley Stadium with Liverpool VS Chelsea.
The Community Shield was originally played between the Premier League champions and the FA Cup champions, but because Liverpool won both the Premier League and FA Cup last season, the rules were changed to pit Liverpool against the Premier League runner-up, Chelsea.
This is the first game of the new season in England, and it will directly produce a champion. Whether it is fans of Liverpool or Chelsea, or neutral fans, they all attach great importance to this game.
Regardless of the gold content, it is not a championship honor after all. Especially for Liverpool, if they win this game, they can continue to move towards the goal of winning seven championships this year.
If it cannot be taken, it will be forced to discontinue.
The transfers of Van Dijk and Salah have not yet been completed, so for this Community Shield Cup, Liverpool's center backs are temporarily partnered by No. 6 Lovren and No. 32 Matip, while No. 27 Origi is the center forward, and Firmi Nuno and Mane serve as double forwards, still in a 433 formation.
However, Willard, who wears the No. 10 jersey, has been asked by Klopp to do more forward attacking tasks this season.
This game is also an experiment.
After the game started, Liverpool ignored Chelsea's tactics and launched an attack directly. Under the organization of Willard, Wijnaldum, Henderson, Mane, Origi, Firmino, etc. collectively pressed towards Chelsea's half, occasionally adding an attacking star. The No. 66 full-back Alexander-Arnold.
Chelsea originally lined up in a 3421 formation for this game, but the two wing-backs were pushed back by Liverpool at the beginning and became full-backs, turning into a 4221 formation.
But midfielder Cesc Fabregas is stronger offensively than defensively, and Kanter's defensive midfielder simply cannot withstand Velarde's attack. Even without the help of his teammates, Velarde's awareness, speed, physique, and skills alone are enough to crush Kanter and make him unable to cope.
Although Kante is considered a top defensive midfielder in other games, especially the season when he won the championship with Leicester City, he surprised many people, but when facing Willard in this game, no one could intercept him. Successfully, only by relying on the help of his teammates to defend can he force Willard to pass the ball occasionally.
Velarde, who was upgraded again with extra points in pre-season training, has indeed become more terrifying. Forwards Willian and Pedro have to retreat frequently to participate in the defense. Even if they cannot confront Velarde head-on, they must have Only if it interferes.
Even so, in the face of Liverpool's massive attack and Willard's dash from left to right, Chelsea's defense still couldn't hold on for long, and was declared defeated in the 17th minute.
This time it is not Kante's responsibility, but it is also because Willard's dribbling attracted Kante, Fabregas and others to surround him, allowing Willard to pass the ball into the gap. Firmino then right After a pass from the road, center Origi headed the ball over. Captain Henderson stepped in from the back row and hit a high-quality volley in the penalty area, sending the ball into the upper right corner of Chelsea's goal.
Liverpool leads Chelsea 1-0.
