After returning to Liverpool from the pre-match warm-up tour, the Liverpool team's primary goal is undoubtedly to prepare for the Champions League qualifying match against the Austrian Hurricanes.
The whole team is preparing intensively for this game that concerns everyone's future.
Benitez also has to carefully manage the team's personnel.
After receiving a positive response from Garcia himself, Benitez was relieved to sell off Murphy, who looked down upon him.
The primary target now is Xabi Alonso of Real Sociedad. It seems that the problem is not big now, it just needs to be negotiated.
It's nothing. In Valencia, I was used to spending a penny in half. Now this situation is already very good...
Benitez was about to prepare for the war with peace of mind, but he immediately received bad news: Irving refused to sign the contract extension.
Benitez was confused for a long time and finally understood the situation.
This protracted contract renewal negotiation has been going on for fifteen months. Irving has vowed countless times that he is happy to renew the contract. Last week in the United States, he said he would sign it when he returned home.
Although few clubs are interested in Irving in the transfer market, in order to retain their golden boy, Liverpool Club has planned to offer Irving a weekly salary of 80,000 pounds, which will undoubtedly be a huge blow to the club's already tight finances. burden.
Although it is not the legendary 100,000, it is definitely the highest salary in the club and the first level in the entire Premier League. This shows the sincerity of the club.
But Owen, who returned to England, changed his mind again.
The club suspects that Owen has reached a private agreement with Real Madrid.
Although the Spanish newspaper "Marca" published news that Real Madrid club officials categorically denied their interest in acquiring Irving, considering Real Madrid's acquisition of Beckham last year, these news cannot be believed at all!
In this way, Liverpool will be very passive.
The new season is about to begin, and all the preparations that were originally based on Irving are suddenly canceled. Irving's value may be reduced to the lowest.
This is simply adding insult to injury for the strapped Liverpool!
Benitez, who scratched his head for a long time, finally made up his mind...
Of course, it is impossible to hide the ups and downs of the club from the players.
Li Tiancheng doesn't care much about this, and it's impossible for Benitez to make himself the main force. Cisse is probably the one who pricked up his ears to receive the news.
Although the opponent in the Champions League qualifying match at hand is not too strong, it is of great importance after all. Benitez is unlikely to use it for training, and it is unlikely that he will take him there. It is useless to worry about these now.
Li Tiancheng was more concerned about whether Hao Junmin and the others had any hope of studying abroad.
As early as two years ago, when the Asian Youth Championship just ended and he met Jose for the first time, Li Tiancheng set his ambition to change the face of Chinese football.
Li Tiancheng is confident of becoming a banner, but of course he also needs reliable helpers. Helping his friends from back then to study abroad is training helpers for himself, and of course he has to provide some snacks.
After Yang Chen, Sun Jihe, Shao Jiayi and others appeared in Europe one after another, coupled with the presence of Li Tiancheng, Chinese players finally had some meager sense of presence in Europe.
A few days ago, I received a call from my friend Hao Junmin asking about studying abroad. Of course, Li Tiancheng was very happy.
If my friend is motivated, he may have reliable helpers in the future. Li Tiancheng immediately asked Jose for help.
Jose, who was very interested, actually recommended it to several clubs, and several clubs in the secondary league were actually interested.
The biggest one is Feyenoord, the Eredivisie powerhouse who was once interested in Mao Jianqing.
So Jose immediately contacted him, and soon Hao Junmin went directly to Feyenoord for a trial training.
At this time, Li Tiancheng was completely at ease and devoted himself to his work. It was up to him what kind of fortune Hao Junmin would have. Li Tiancheng had neither the ability nor the energy to continue to help.
After all, you have to walk your own path. It’s great to have someone push you and help you, but you can’t have someone pulling you along for the rest of your life.
Li Tiancheng put his worries aside and concentrated on preparing for the war. His career was about to begin. This was no joke.
In terms of tactics, Li Tiancheng accepted it quickly, but physical reserve is undoubtedly the most important point.
At this time, Li Tiancheng got an unexpected surprise. He was included in the squad for the Champions League qualifying rounds!
It wasn't until he sat on the bench at the Hurricane Graz Stadium in Austria that Li Tiancheng truly accepted this reality.
I’m going to play in the Champions League!
Why did I suddenly appear on Benitez's roster when I had no chance?
Li Tiancheng looked at the England golden boy sitting next to him. Could it be that he had something to do with him?
Irving, the actor who has been deeply involved in transfer scandals, did not appear in the starting lineup, and the meaning of this is already obvious.
Although Irving vowed to renew his contract with the club before the start of the season, it seems that the club is already making double plans.
Real Madrid and Barcelona's pursuit of Irving never seems to stop. If Irving makes his debut in this game, then even if he moves to the La Liga giants, he will not be able to appear in European competitions for the new club this season, which will make his transfer The value in the market will be greatly reduced.
Benitez did not arrange for Irving to play today. Liverpool will continue to take the initiative in transfer negotiations. Once Irving moves to La Liga before the transfer deadline, he will still have the opportunity to represent his new club in European competitions.
For Liverpool, this is a no-brainer, this is a way to make up for the losses as much as possible.
Once Owen leaves, most of Liverpool's preparation results throughout the summer will disappear. Although Cisse has similar technical characteristics to Owen, they cannot be seamlessly connected.
It is doomed that the performance in the new season will be affected, so we must protect our assets as much as possible.
Although Irving may not be able to save much if he deliberately cooperates with the new owner, he must try his best to save whatever he can.
It's just that Irving directing and starring in this feud drama is so stomach-churning.
Is this smart or stupid?
As a person, it is understandable and even natural to pursue higher goals and a better life.
But we always have to pay attention to the legitimate means and a clear conscience, right?
It's not good to take advantage of your old employer's feelings for you, deliberately deceive and delay, and even trick your old employer before leaving.
For a football player, the most important thing is undoubtedly the performance on the field, and Benitez's tactics are undoubtedly very suitable for Irving's performance.
Li Tiancheng asked himself if he were in Irving's position, either he should sign a contract directly and prepare for the war with peace of mind; or he could transfer directly so that he could adapt to the new environment as soon as possible!
The new season has already begun, but I'm still procrastinating here and trying to talk.
Why is he really planning to lower the price for his new club, even if he doesn't hesitate to affect his own form? Even if he transfers to Real Madrid, you won't have time to adapt. Once you can't show your best form, in a giant among giants like Real Madrid
Here, will you still have a good life?
Li Tiancheng's evaluation of Irving dropped again and again.
