Green Life

Mark Qin suddenly felt a little upset. He loved Liverpool, but he didn't want this kind of Liverpool: turmoil at the top, chaotic development, no persistence.

In his concept, Liverpool should be a region, a community culture, and a holy place for people with common ideas and dreams to show their value and self.

Every time he was powerless, he would be extraordinarily quiet. If it wasn't for his own reasons, he would like to stay in this place for the rest of his life, just like Gerald.

Stay in a small city and live a lifetime.

There is everything here, and everything is comfortable.

In the morning, he wakes up to train and can eat Sam's pizza. Melwood is not far away, the road is not so noisy, and he has finished his passion and sweat on the court.

When he comes back, he can ask Tony for a drink, listen to him playing and singing, his family is around him, and Isabella will fill his chest with company and tenderness.

If this is the Liverpool in his mind, why should he leave, the football dream here is enough to satisfy him.

He looked at the lights in the distance, and the willows by the Mersey River swaying gently in the wind, shadowy, quiet and peaceful.

Isabella came over and put a coat on him, the evening breeze from the balcony was still a bit cool.

"Are you worrying about the club again?" She asked with concern. After coming back for a few weeks, she didn't see any smile on him, which made him worry too.

Why did the situation take a turn for the worse after winning the championship?

"I've never seen such chaos in Liverpool," he said, even if he was put together by the American duo in his previous life, there had never been such a big mess, he said in his heart.

Was it right or wrong to do that?

Is this fate? I just let it drink poison to quench its thirst? Does it have to end its life after all?

At the end of July, a series of blockbuster transfers happened one after another. Manchester United bought Berbatov, Chelsea bought Bosingwa, Tottenham changed half of the team, and Manchester City was recruiting aggressively.

Only Liverpool, a mess.

Today they played a warm-up match with the First Division team on the other side of the river. The whole team played listlessly and lost!

Benitez may have been under too much pressure recently,

Furious in the locker room, Alonso actually had a fierce quarrel with him, because the media disclosed Benitez's proposal to replace him with Barry.

In Alonso's view, this is a great insult to him, because Barry ended up going to Manchester City, where the salary is double that of this side, and a fool knows how to choose.

This week, Alonso's soap opera has caused a lot of trouble. First, it was revealed by the media, and then Barry actually accepted an interview saying that he likes Liverpool. But just when Liverpool was about to agree to Real Madrid's offer, Barry turned around and threw himself into the arms of Manchester City.

This makes Alonso, who has achieved the team honor grand slam in addition to the World Cup, how embarrassing?

He felt that Liverpool was at the stage where it was about to collapse, but it was already terminally ill, which made him feel deeply confused.

Liverpool's top management has currently frozen all transfer work. No matter who it is, no matter what the agent makes trouble, they will all be put on hold. Many members of the team just arrived last year, and the contract is still very long. No one dares to come out and make trouble at this time. , but their respective thoughts are unknown.

Guardiola was already in a hurry. He called and communicated with Jonathan many times, asking Mark Qin to assist Barcelona to put some pressure on Liverpool and urge the transfer to be completed as soon as possible.

But Ma Keqin would not do this kind of thing. Throughout the ages, most of the players who participated in this kind of thing were not human inside and out. This is self-pollution, and it will become an indelible stain in the future.

"Go and rest first." Isabella hugged him from behind, "Don't worry, there will always be results."

...

The sky was bright, but the dark clouds surrounding Liverpool were getting thicker and darker. Early in the morning, a lot of negative news broke out.

"Echo": Liverpool Chairman David Moores officially filed a lawsuit against Dubai International, suing it for buying and bribing minority shareholders and fans in an attempt to conduct an illegal acquisition. The FA has been involved in the investigation a few days ago.

"Sky Sports": The FA received a report from the Liverpool board of directors that they concealed the debt situation, and will formally intervene in the investigation. If the situation is true, Liverpool will not be able to make up the arrears, and will enter the trusteeship process.

"The Times": FIFA issued a notice a few days ago that it will formally implement the ban on the transfer of club players under the age of 18 from January 1, 2009, which involves the transfer compensation rules for players under the age of 21.

"Dubai International get out...", "The rubbish board is disbanded...", "Liverpool is Liverpool's Liverpool!", "Don't ruin Liverpool, woo...", early in the morning, fans and reporters outside Melwood In a group, Benitez had to ask Sami Lee to notify one by one, and stop training today.

Mark Qin got up early in the morning, first received a call from Sammy Lee to stop training today, and then wanted to open the floodgate, countless calls swarmed in.

Jonathan told him not to go out and say anything to the fans and reporters. He will communicate with the club as soon as possible and let him wait and see.

Guardiola came to comfort him and told him not to be discouraged. Barcelona will definitely do its best to negotiate the transfer with Liverpool.

There is also Sam's phone number. They don't ask Mark Qin about general club affairs, so as not to cause trouble for him. This time I really can't sit still.

Then there was a call from captain Gerrard, who asked him to go out and talk about the recent club affairs.

In a luxury villa in the suburbs, it was very deserted because no one stayed there for a long time, but the nanny cleaned it very well, and three cars came one after another after a while.

Maxine greeted Gerrard and Carragher from the car and invited them to the living room. There are not many reporters and fans here so far, so it is more convenient to talk about things.

"Mark, you have seen the current situation of the club. We came here today to discuss how to deal with it. To tell you the truth, the person in charge of Dubai International has already approached us," Gerrard said after sitting down.

"I wanted to call Alonso and Torres over today, but they declined. It seems that they don't want to get involved," Carragher continued, "It's understandable."

"Dubai International is looking for you to get your support and put pressure on the board of directors?" Mark Qin asked.

Gerald nodded, "They promised to increase investment after the acquisition, but according to them, David's asking price is to make up for his economic losses during the financial crisis, and they think he is crazy."

In recent days, the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States officially broke out, Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch filed for bankruptcy protection and acquisitions one after another, and the stock prices of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac plummeted! , Maybe David Moores felt the pain of cutting his flesh, like a gambler who lost his eyes.

"Do you want to move? Barcelona or Inter Milan?" Carragher asked, "There are only three of us now, you can just say it, and you can understand any decision."

Ma Keqin thought for a while, and felt that they should have some ideas. If they directly wanted to transfer, they could understand, but they would not ask themselves to participate.

He shook his head and said, "To be honest, I don't know either, but if the day when the club is in dire straits, I won't disregard my future. I can't be that noble yet."

Gerrard and Carragher breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they didn't insist on leaving, Liverpool's posture may fall apart at any time, and no one knows where a hole will be torn.

"We want to recommend you as the team's third captain," Gerrard said formally to him.

"Me? I'm too young," Ma Keqin said in surprise.

Gerrard shook his head, "Young is not a problem, you are from Kirkby, you have this qualification, Benitez and Alonso, they are both Spaniards, they will not go through this muddy water, this is also It’s all understandable, but someone from the club must stand up. Carragher and I have discussed it for a long time, and it can only be the three of us.”

"So what are you going to do?", he asked.

"As a representative of the team, we will have separate talks with Dubai International and David Moores to let them control the situation and not affect the official operation of the club, otherwise... we will take the lead in the strike," Gerrard said decisively.

Carragher also echoed: "Then we have to appease the fans, hoping to calm Liverpool down as soon as possible before the start of the new season. As for the acquisition, who is the owner, to be honest we don't care, as long as Liverpool is still Liverpool."

When Ma Keqin heard this, his heart moved, and he had some hazy thoughts, but they were not clear.

"When the situation calms down, to be honest, I think it is understandable for anyone who wants to leave, after all, everyone is a professional player," Gerrard said finally.

Ma Keqin nodded, it is indeed a solution, "But the selection of the captain does not require Benitez's consent?"

Gerrard shook his head, "We can start the selection process directly, most people will support you"

"Okay, I agree", regardless of whether Xia Tian can go or not, he is obliged to do something for Liverpool.

...

Although Benitez is very unhappy that the team directly elected the third captain internally, he can do nothing. Now his control over the team is getting lower and lower. He is a staunch supporter of Dubai International.

When Dubai International came for the first time, they reached a tacit agreement with Benitez. This time it is even more so. Benitez is too lazy to take care of it. He just waits for the acquisition to be successful and he has money. These locker room problems are natural It's nothing to worry about, just change someone if it doesn't work.

As the end of July approached, two big news broke out in England. Manchester City used cash to snatch Robinho from Real Madrid. This season, their investment in the transfer market officially exceeded 100 million.

In addition, Liverpool elected Ma Keqin, a 17-year-old Chinese teenager, as the team's third captain. Then the team's first, second, and third captains, as player representatives, discussed with Dubai International and board members.

No one knew what they talked about, but then the person in charge of Dubai International came out and issued a statement: Dubai International respects Liverpool, a great club, and they promised to negotiate peacefully with the board of directors without disturbing the team as much as possible.

David Moores also authorized Parry to speak publicly for the first time: He still loves Liverpool deeply, his family has been in charge of Liverpool for decades, and he will not do things that harm Liverpool's interests.

Then Liverpool was summoned by the three captains and held the first public conference of the new season in Melwood, calling on the fans to remain calm and rationally deal with the recent changes in the club.

They don't know if it will work or not, but this is all they can do. After that, the fans calmed down somewhat. It is the most annoying time when there is no news. Now the team stands up and expresses its position. As for whether to change the boss, They can't decide. If they should protest, continue to protest, so as not to affect the team's normal preparations for the new season.

At the beginning of August, the FA officially launched an investigation into Liverpool’s debts and illegal acquisitions. The new season is about to start in half a month. The situation has calmed down a bit and entered the legal process. Many Reds in Melwood began to weigh their personal plans. .

There are those who insist on leaving, such as Benayoun. He wants to go to Arsenal, which gives him the absolute main position, but the transfer of Liverpool has been frozen last month. Now that it has entered the investigation process of the FA, the Liverpool club should will defrost.

There are still some who have not made the final decision, such as Torres, Alonso, Mark Qin...
