"Hello, fans. You're now watching Firmino's golf footage!"
"This guy has hit the golf ball into the water hazard for the third time. We don't know how he managed it, but somehow, he did."
"It's fair to say the competition at this Leo Lin Celebrity Golf Tournament is fierce. So far, we still don't know who the champion will be, but it's already obvious who'll finish last."
"Barnett is second from bottom and still has a sizeable lead over Firmino. He should thank Firmino. Firmino probably entered this tournament just to take last place for him."
Leo Lin was riding a golf cart and happened to pass Firmino's spot on the course. Seeing Firmino looking utterly frantic, Leo Lin burst out laughing.
"Don't worry, Firmino. I've already thought of an excuse for you."
"When the tournament's over, just say you were respecting your elders and deliberately took last place for Barnett. That's why you entered."
"Whatever you do, don't tell them you watched more than ten hours of tournament footage for this and trained really hard for ages. Don't worry, I won't say a word!"
Leo Lin's voice was loud, and Firmino heard every word clearly. He also saw the phone following behind Leo Lin. It was livestreaming the whole thing, which meant the viewers in the livestream had definitely heard everything he had just said.
"It's okay, Firmino. I won't laugh at you. For Vivian's sake, I'll leave you a little dignity."
"This is the first time I've seen someone fall so far behind the second-to-last player in a golf tournament. This is way beyond throwing the match. You're just bad."
"What? He actually watched more than ten hours of tournament footage? Looks like every sport really does require talent. Firmino, hurry back to Liverpool and focus on training."
Leo Lin only passed by Firmino's spot, then continued on to Barnett's.
Barnett, on the other hand, looked like he was enjoying himself. He played golf while enjoying Delores wiping his sweat and Vivian occasionally handing him water. The spectators around him were all chatting with Barnett, and they clearly liked this big-name agent.
"Lin, pass a message to Ronaldo up ahead for me. I'm about to overtake him. That kid isn't as strong as the legends say!"
Ronaldo, who so many fans had high hopes for, posed no threat to Jordan at all. The gap between him and Barnett was not that large.
After Ronaldo gained weight for special reasons, his athletic ability had indeed declined. On top of that, his mindset was very relaxed now. Ever since retiring, Ronaldo had focused more on enjoying life and having fun.
Right now, he was perfectly happy. He chatted casually with the fans around him, occasionally handed out a few free autographs, opened a bottle of soda, enjoyed the little discoveries along the way, and felt the cool breeze.
Ronaldo had not come to compete at all. He had basically come on vacation.
The current leader, and the one progressing the fastest, was Jordan, who truly showed an exceptional level.
When Leo Lin chatted with Jordan, he learned that Jordan had picked up quite a few tricks from Taylor, and they had played an important role in this tournament.
In the end, the Leo Lin Celebrity Golf Tournament ended perfectly, with Jordan taking first place. As always, he did not care about the one million pounds in prize money, but he raised the trophy for the first Leo Lin Celebrity Golf Tournament very high. This was his honor.
Bale was very envious, but because he had a match with Real Madrid, he could not take part. After seeing Jordan win, Bale immediately issued a challenge on social media.
"Jordan, I hope you'll take part in the second Leo Lin Celebrity Golf Tournament too. When the time comes, I'll definitely beat you!"
The first Celebrity Golf Tournament was a complete success. Leo Lin very cleverly had all the photos of the participants printed one by one, then posted them along the fence outside the golf course.
Every five meters, one section of the fence showed a photo of Jordan winning the title. Five meters later, there was a photo of Firmino fishing a ball out of a water hazard. Another five meters after that, there was a photo of Curry celebrating a hole-in-one.
Those photos completely charmed the golf fans nearby. They only wanted to come to Leo Lin's golf course to play, because here, they could imagine themselves as Jordan, Curry, or Barnett. Anyone but Firmino would do.
That night, Leo Lin invited all the celebrities who had taken part to dinner. Afterward, Barnett posted a group photo on his personal page.
Leo Lin was hugged between Jordan and Barnett, looking unbelievably happy.
After the joyful and successful Celebrity Golf Tournament ended, Leo Lin and Firmino returned to the club that same day and received a warm welcome from their teammates.
Of course, the main focus of that welcome was Firmino.
"Who was it who swore to me that he'd definitely finish first and definitely win the one million prize? I can't quite remember!"
"Come on, Firmino. If we'd known, we should've let Vivian enter instead. She definitely would've played better than you!"
"It's okay, Firmino. Your golf may be terrible, but we're still not going to miss this chance to laugh at you. Oh, and that time you used underhanded methods but still lost to Leo Lin in the team heartthrob contest? We'll remember that forever too!"
Firmino felt he had been treated unfairly by his teammates, so he wanted to seek comfort from Klopp.
But Klopp's barely suppressed grin, along with Krawietz and Zubizarreta laughing wildly, made Firmino feel that he had lost all warmth within the team.
In that case, he could only turn the mockery into anger and win back his dignity in the field he was best at.
In Matchday 29 of the Premier League, Firmino bounced back from rock bottom on the golf course and carried that rebound onto the football pitch.
In Matchday 29, Liverpool's opponent was Newcastle United. Newcastle still played in a 5-4-1 formation. As an established strong side, they had a glorious history, but so far, Newcastle had yet to find their place in the new era of the Premier League.
Klopp sent out several key starters for this match. He wanted to secure the Premier League title as soon as possible. Only then could Liverpool continue pushing for the FA Cup and the Champions League final.
Liverpool were still eight points ahead of Manchester City despite having played two fewer matches.
If they beat Newcastle, Liverpool would extend their lead to eleven points while still having one game in hand. If they also won Matchday 30 of the Premier League, their lead would become fourteen points.
A fourteen-point advantage would ensure Liverpool could win the second Premier League title in their history at least four rounds early.
And if the chasing teams dropped points again, Klopp's side might even secure the Premier League title sooner than that.
