Golden Greenery

Chapter 160 Passing by Liverpool

In fact, from a football perspective, sister Zhuo Qiu's suggestion is the most reasonable. She believes that Zhuo Yang's comeback should start in Ligue 1, specifically Paris Saint-Germain.

Paris is the only giant in Ligue 1. After Zhuo Yang went to Paris, the pressure on competition and performance was relatively minimal, which is suitable for him to recover slowly. After all, I have been away from football for almost two years, and I have been lying down for fourteen months.

Moreover, Ligue 1 is also in line with the freshness of not turning back.

But Zhuoyang is more eager to challenge, but the challenge of Ligue 1 is just not enough. Not being competitive does not mean losing ambition. The Premier League, which is relatively the most competitive, is Zhuoyang's favorite stadium after waking up from his dream.

Paris is alone in Ligue 1 seeking defeat, and its only ambition is the Champions League. For Paris, there is only success or failure in a season, and there is no middle ground. After several years of continuous investment of huge amounts of money, when the Parisians were officially complacent, Zhuoyang believed that even if he went to Paris to play football, now was not the time.

In this case, it is decided to go to the Premier League. Apart from Mourinho's Manchester United, Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal, and others such as Tottenham are not impossible to consider, but they are certainly not among the first to be considered.

Zhuo Yang didn't care, but Kou Kou rejected Arsenal and Chelsea because they were London teams.

In November of the previous year, Zhuo Yang had an accident on the banks of the Thames River in London. After all, Kou Kou was still a girl, so it was understandable that she didn't like London and even had lingering fears. Moreover, the gloomy and sad atmosphere in London Bridge Hospital made it difficult for not only Kou Kou but also her family to look back.

The hazy weather in London all year round inevitably brings back those difficult memories.

Family is the first priority, Zhuoyang followed the good deeds, so Chelsea and Arsenal were inexplicably implicated by Sharma.

Because of Uncle Zha and Detu, Liverpool has undoubtedly become the first choice. If there is no uncertain battle, Manchester City will be left as a backup tire.

The failure to transfer to Manchester United in the summer of 2014 made Zhuo Yang feel very bad. The feeling of being involuntarily went against his philosophy of life. Fundamentally, the high transfer fee is just a symptom, and the fact that the ownership of the football does not belong to you is the source of the crime.

Now that he is a free agent, Zhuo Yang will take this opportunity to make his own decision on his own destiny and become the first player in football who is not bound by transfer fees.

It was Zhuoyang who chose the team, not the team who chose him. One of Zhuo Yang's conditions was not to sign a contract with the nature of a 'deed of sale'.

The specific matters were left to the elder sister and La Fatty to discuss with Liverpool. There was no need for Zhuo Yang to come forward in person from the beginning. He just contacted Uncle Zha and Detu as soon as he made the decision.

Although I don’t know if Zhuoyang can return to the level before the accident,

But as his godfather of professional football enlightenment, Uncle Zha will naturally accept Zhuoyang with open arms.

Uncle Klopp has a rough appearance, but a real rough man cannot be a head coach. If you want to do this job, you must be a good person, and your mind must be delicate and exquisite.

Uncle Zha knew that Zhuo Yang would never develop into a football coach. Pianist was the only career he would pursue after retiring. However, Uncle Zha still sent out an invitation as an assistant coach a few months ago. For no other reason than he felt sorry for Zhuo Yang. Yang.

A few months ago, Uncle Zha, like everyone else, concluded that Zhuoyang would never return to the football field, so he could not pretend to invite Zhuoyang to wear the Red Army's No. 18, because this would be tantamount to poking Zhuoyang's pain. So even though he knew it was impossible, inviting the assistant coach was Uncle Zha's way of caring.

Now that Zhuoyang has personally stated that he is back, Uncle Zha is overjoyed. Even if Zhuoyang only has 50% of his pre-accident level, it will be enough to help him in Liverpool's current difficult coaching situation.

Last summer, Uncle Zha did not successfully move into the Red Army before the start of the season because he and Liverpool CEO Ian Ayre had not reached an agreement on personal terms. But in October, Liverpool had to fire Rogers due to poor performance, and agreed to all the conditions of Uncle Zha and asked him to take over urgently.

He became a monk halfway. Last season, Liverpool's performance was very poor. They were ranked 8th in the Premier League and did not even qualify for the UEFA Cup. They finally reached the League Cup and UEFA Cup finals, but only got two runners-up. Uncle Zha heard the boos and shouts at Anfield. The sound of get out of class ending.

Uncle Zha was under a lot of pressure. In the end, it was team owner John Henry who expressed his support for him, which allowed Uncle Zha to escape this crisis of confidence.

Liverpool's last glory was on the night of Istanbul in 2005. AC Milan was the background of the Red Army. Two years later, Liverpool reached the Champions League final again, and was avenged by Milan, the unrivaled duo, in Athens, Greece. Since then, Liverpool have never excelled again, both in terms of results and traffic.

In 2010, Liverpool's performance continued to be bleak. What was terrible was that it also had a financial crisis and was almost taken over by the Premier League. As a result, American tycoon and Fenway Sports owner John Henry bought Liverpool for US$380 million and became the new owner of the Red Army.

Henry is a man who is very good at sports business. He also owns the Boston Red Sox of the Major League Baseball and the Celtics of the NBA. In order to expand Liverpool's influence, Henry gave 2% of Liverpool's shares to LeBron James in 2011.

Over the years, boss Henry has spent a lot of money on Liverpool, expanding Anfield Stadium and building a brand-new Kirkby training base. However, the team has not shown improvement in performance, and Liverpool's commercial value has never been able to improve. development.

The Boston Red Sox and Celtics both won championships in a short period of time after Henry moved in, which was not as laborious as Liverpool.

This summer, Henry decided to increase the price of Anfield tickets by 10% to ease financial pressure. However, he was directly met with angry protests from Red Army fans, which blocked a group of senior executives from leaving work. In the end, he had to announce that the original tickets would be maintained. price.

In Uncle Zha's view, Zhuoyang's joining is extremely beneficial to Liverpool now, both from a competitive and commercial perspective, and he also said that he will definitely try his best to promote this matter. However, Uncle Zha, who has just experienced a crisis of trust, has some say in this matter, but his confidence is not sufficient.

And Liverpool, which has failed to increase ticket prices, is not a wasteful team. They are not reluctant to spend money, but they have always been cautious about spending money.

Liverpool's management, headed by CEO Ian Ayre, received the interest from Zhuoyang. They were not stupid and immediately realized the value. Even if Zhuoyang doesn't play football when he comes, as long as he puts on the jersey and stands at Anfield, it will increase the value of Liverpool by at least 5%.

Zhuoyang mainly focused on me, but the conditions he offered were not complicated. Specifically, there were only three: No. 18 jersey, first-year salary, and freedom to come and go.

In fact, the first one is not a condition. Ten people all know that No. 18 has become Zhuoyang's number. Even if he doesn't mention it, he will automatically be given the No. 18 jersey if he joins any team, because this will maximize the brand value.

Zhuo Yang is not short of money, but GZF Biochemical Industry has brought him huge wealth returns. If he is willing, he can use AiGene without taking any money.

If it had been before the accident, Zhuoyang might have become a forward-style player who plays football with love, because showing off is a necessity. But now he won't do that. Just like the scumbag's reason for asking for a dowry, money is an attitude.

I'm not short of money, that's my business, and the value you should give me are two different things.

The problem is that Liverpool's salary level in the Premier League is far lower than that of the four clubs in Manchester and London. The team's maximum salary is 150,000 pounds a week for Detu and Coutinho, which translates to an annual salary of 9 million euros.

The current maximum salary in football is 22 million euros for Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. The combined weekly salary of 3 is too much for Liverpool's salary structure.

What's more, the freedom of coming and going is completely unacceptable to CEO Ian Ayre. So, this conversation lasted for more than a month.

Zhuoyang is not in a hurry. He is not even a free agent now, but a 'football wild man' who is not restricted by the transfer window.

Then, he was intercepted by Manchester City, with conditions that he could not refuse.
