269. The plight of Benitez

Xavi Alonso moves to Real Madrid for a transfer fee of 35 million euros.

As soon as this news came out, it shocked the entire European football world. No one expected that Liverpool would let go of the core of the team's midfield and backcourt, and also send it to Real Madrid, which is ambitious this year. This is jaw-dropping.

In everyone's opinion, Liverpool failed to defend the UEFA Champions League last season, which can be regarded as a less successful season. This summer, Liverpool should be recruiting heavily to strengthen the team. Well,

To compete for the UEFA Champions League title in the new season.

The Liverpool team hasn't made any signings yet, which means they have lost the core of the team's midfield and backcourt. What exactly are Liverpool going to do this time?

This naturally caused dissatisfaction among Liverpool fans. They were very dissatisfied. On the team's official website and forums, Liverpool fans frantically expressed their dissatisfaction. They needed an explanation from Liverpool.

This really gives Benitez a headache. He himself doesn’t want to send Xavi Alonso away, but it’s a pity that Xavi Alonso wants to leave. He can’t even keep him. It’s so forceful.

If it doesn't work, let him go. Liverpool can still earn part of the transfer fee, right?

It is rumored that the transfer fee for Xavi Alonso to Real Madrid is 35 million euros. In fact, it is more than 40 million euros. However, Real Madrid

Liverpool was paid 35 million first, and the other 5 million was paid to Liverpool half a year later.

Forty million, this price is very high. After learning this, Qiu Ze nodded slightly, it was indeed a profit. In Qiu Ze’s memory, Xavi Alonso in his previous life transferred to Real Madrid this summer

When he was in Madrid, the transfer fee was 30 million euros. Now it has increased to 10 million euros. It is indeed a huge profit.

However, money has been made, but now where can Liverpool find Xavi? Alonso's successor? In this position, there are few players with Xavi Alonso's passing skills.

, it is difficult to find a replacement for Xavi Alonso.

At this time, Liverpool head coach Benitez told Qiu Ze that he was interested in Tottenham Hotspur's Croatian midfielder Modric.

Luka Modric only moved to Tottenham Hotspur last year. In last season, Modric played 34 games for Tottenham Hotspur in the league, scoring three goals and providing seven assists.

Assists, played four games for Tottenham in the European competition, scored one goal and sent one assist, and performed very well.

Moreover, Luka Modric's contribution is not only in terms of goals and assists, he also manages Tottenham Hotspur's midfield in an orderly manner and revitalizes Tottenham Hotspur.

Attack. If Tottenham Hotspur coach Juande Ramos hadn't done anything at the beginning of the season, Luka Modric would have performed better.

In Benitez's view, Luka Modric is a typical No. 10 player like Qiu Ze. However, Qiu Ze is much better than Luka Modric and is very aggressive. Qiu Ze

The closer the ball is to the goal, the greater the threat.

And Luka Modric is not as aggressive as Qiu Ze. His threat is greater when he is farther away from the goal. This guy's direct long shot from behind is very threatening. It can be said that he is

His signature moves and iconic attacks.

Also, Modric has good long passing skills and is more suitable for playing in the back position of the midfield. In this way, he can form a tandem attacking combination with Qiu Ze. Luka?? Modric can just fill in the gap.

The gap after Via Alonso left.

Qiu Ze also knows Luka Modric very well. This Croatian is indeed very capable, and he has a very sharp long-range shooting ability. In China, this guy is even called "

"Magic Flute", whose strength should not be underestimated.

If Qiu Ze thinks about it carefully, if this guy really joins Liverpool, it will definitely be good news for Liverpool, so that the departure of Xavi Alonso can be minimized.

However, at this time, are Tottenham Hotspur willing to sell Modric? It is said that Sir Alex Ferguson of Manchester United also covets Modric, but Tottenham Hotspur are unwilling to sell him.

Ah, it would be very difficult for Liverpool to bring in Modric.

Last summer, Modric joined Tottenham Hotspur for 18.5 million pounds. Now Benitez directly offers Tottenham Hotspur 22 million pounds.

But it is 3.5 million higher than when Tottenham Hotspur introduced Modric. It is appropriate to increase the price so high in one year. It is a big profit.

However, Tottenham Hotspur directly rejected Benitez's offer. In their words, Modric is the future of Tottenham Hotspur and they will not sell it. Just like you, Liverpool

Like Qiu Ze of the team, it is a treasure at the bottom of the box, how can it be sold?

When Benitez learned this answer, he was indeed disappointed. Now in his mind, there are two and a half people who can succeed Xabi Alonso, one of whom is Modric and the other is Arsenal's Francesco.

Bregas, and half of them are Everton’s Arteta.

Among them, Modric has no hope. Tottenham Hotspur have no intention of selling him. And Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas dare not even hope. Arsene Wenger has already spoken.

If you want to get Fabregas, please trade Qiu Ze.

How is it possible to exchange Qiu Ze? Of course Wenger knows this, and he just means one thing by saying this, that is, it is simply impossible to buy Cesc Fabregas.

Fabregas and Modric are Benitez's favorite candidates, but unfortunately, it is impossible to introduce these two people.

Now only the last half of the people are left. The reason why Arteta is half the favorite candidate is mainly because this guy is not yet at the level of Xavi Alonso. He is a capable midfielder.

He is a player in the field, but his strength has not reached the first-line or top level.

Mikel Arteta is a well-known "prodigal son" in Spain. Unlike most Spanish players who are used to playing domestically, he has spent most of his career overseas.

Arteta is an outstanding representative of the Barcelona youth academy. He was discovered by the Barcelona club at the age of 15 and started his career with the Barcelona B team in 1999. But he has never played for the Barcelona first team.

Later, he played for Paris Saint-Germain Football Club in France, Glasgow Rangers Club in Scotland, Real Sociedad Football Club in Spain, and Everton Football Club in England, and grew into the core of Everton.

Arteta joined Everton in January 2005, but this guy conquered the Toffees fans in just four months, and Everton won fourth place in the league under his leadership.

With such good results, they qualified to participate in the UEFA Champions League. This was the first time Everton surpassed its local rival Liverpool after the establishment of the Premier League.

In the next two seasons, Arteta won Everton's best player. In the 2006-07 season, Arteta even surpassed Cristiano Ronaldo to become the best midfielder in the Premier League. In the last season, Arteta was the best midfielder in the Premier League.

This season, Arteta even wore the team's No. 10 jersey and became an indispensable soul figure in the team's midfield.

Originally, Arteta was in Everton, which was Liverpool's mortal enemy and rival in the same city. It was impossible for the two teams to have any player transfer exchanges. However, now that Arteta and Everton have continued their relationship,

At the critical moment of the contract, at this time, Liverpool still has a good chance to win Arteta.

After losing Modric and Cesc Fabregas, Benitez set his sights on Arteta. He hoped that Arteta could join Liverpool to replace Xavi Alonso's departure.

The gap left.

However, Arteta is still hesitant now. This is England. If he just turns to the team's mortal enemy, he will be in great trouble. Therefore, at this time, Arteta is hesitant.

Arteta's agent certainly hopes that Arteta can go to Liverpool. In this case, Arteta's salary, popularity, and commercial contracts will all rise. This is a good opportunity. Moreover, Arteta will also have a higher level at the competitive level.

With his pursuit and getting more honors, maybe he can join the ranks of first-line stars from now on.

Arteta's agent was constantly whispering in Arteta's ears. He hoped that Arteta could move to Liverpool. However, Arteta finally thought about it and decided to move to Everton.

Renew contract.

After all, his success comes from the Everton team, and he has great affection for the Everton team. Also, now he is the core of the Everton team. If he moves to the Liverpool team, he will definitely not be the core.

He is a little reluctant to become the other person's green leaf.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Arteta still rejected Benitez and chose to stay at Everton. Now he is highly regarded by the team's head coach Moyes and he will not leave Everton at this time.

.

Okay, now Liverpool doesn’t even have half of this candidate. Benitez is really miserable. Who would have thought that a team as powerful as Liverpool and one with outstanding strength could win the UEFA Champions League?

Can't find good players?

Benitez is in dire straits right now. If he had known he would have let go of Xavi?? Alonso. Even if he had to let go of Xavi?? Alonso, he would have to find a suitable replacement before letting him go.

Ah. At this time, Benitez really regretted it.

In the evening, Benitez called Qiu Ze and complained to Qiu Ze. In fact, this was telling Qiu Ze in disguise that it was not that the Liverpool team did not do anything, but that they had no players.

I would like to come.

Hearing such an answer, Qiu Ze was also surprised. No one from a team like Liverpool was willing to come. This was beyond his expectation, really. In Qiu Ze's view, no matter how hard you say the Liverpool team is European-style,

A wealthy club, and the most popular one in European football, the one with the best results, can definitely attract a lot of players. Why is this situation happening now?
