Three Hundred and Ninety Next Stop: Red Army!

Everyone has feelings, Yang Cheng asked himself, he has never been a hard-hearted person.

But sometimes, for many things, he has to harden his heart.

Last night, when he stood on the unprotected bus and saw the fans chasing around, crying and begging, he really wanted to jump off and tell them, I'm staying!

However, every time he had this idea, there would be another thought in his heart that completely killed the budding idea, that was his reason.

What can he do if he continues to stay at Inter Milan?

No matter how much he does, he can only win another Triple Crown at best, but in the process, everything is changing.

In the next few years, can Moratti continue to listen to him as before?

From another perspective, Yang Cheng joined Inter Milan 4 years ago. It was a black hole for stars. He came to Milan as a savior. In order to get the long-desired honor, Moratti could compromise with him. But what now?

Father Mo's character has not changed, he is still so emotional, but his mentality has changed, and his requirements have changed.

If Yang Cheng continues to sign a new contract with Inter Milan, then the starting point in the minds of Moratti and Inter Milan fans is the Triple Crown. In other words, they will use Triple Crown in everything Yang Cheng does. standards to measure.

In this case, it is unfair whether Yang Cheng continues to stay in office or his successor takes over Inter Milan.

Besides, Yang Cheng really didn't like the Serie A environment, so he finally suppressed his thoughts.

Driving on the streets of Milan, you can still see the traces of last night’s celebration along the way, and you can also see the banners of Inter Milan fans. Seeing all this, it seems that you can still hear their voices in your ears. Pleading.

The blue-black Ferrari slowly stopped at the door of Isola Bella. The whole world knew that Yang Cheng liked this place.

When he walked into this Italian restaurant, the waiter had already habitually taken him into the private room. There were already two people waiting here.

Both of them were wearing suits and ties, but Yang Cheng came in, dressed in a casual Nike sweatshirt, looking very casual.

"Hello, David, Rick!" Yang Cheng smiled and shook hands with the two Englishmen.

That's right,

David is David Morse, the chairman of Liverpool, and Rick is Rick Parry, the CEO of Liverpool. Both of them are very familiar with Yang Cheng, because they almost poached Yang Cheng back then. Liverpool was only intercepted by Inter Milan halfway.

Although Yang Cheng was a little sorry for what happened back then, Liverpool has never had any problems. In the past four years, he has sent gifts almost every year, and even called to greet him from time to time, and David Morse is always at the end of the phone. Everyone will say, "If you are not happy in Milan, welcome to Liverpool!"

"Have you ordered something to eat?" Yang Cheng asked with a smile.

"Yes, yes!" Morse replied with a smile.

The three of them sat down and the door of the box was closed.

As for Liverpool, no fan can hate this team.

As for David Morse and Rick Parry, Yang Cheng always has a respect for them.

Yang Cheng remembered that when describing David Morse, one thing had to be said, that is, after the Hillsborough tragedy, the Football Association requested that the stadium be renovated, but Liverpool at the time did not have the financial resources at all, so The board of directors decided to go public, and teams including Manchester United went public at that time.

But Morse refused. He spent 8 million pounds of his entire fortune to exchange for club shares and renovate Anfield Stadium. Many people asked, why?

Morse's answer was simple. When he took over Liverpool from his uncle John Morse in 1991, he was ready to give it all because he loved this team and didn't want Liverpool to become capital goods.

Yang Cheng is even willing to believe that even if he sells the team to the Americans in the future, he still hopes in his heart that the Americans can run the team he loves better than him.

As for Rick Parry, the mainstream view in the Premier League is that he is a loyal Liverpool fan who is easy to get along with, but he is not qualified because he does not have the cunning and selfishness of a businessman, but the sentimentality of fans.

"Mr. Yang Cheng, I believe our previous conversation has been very clear. I hope you can seriously consider taking over Liverpool because we really need an outstanding head coach like you to lead the team. , Get out of the current quagmire!" Rick Parry looked full of loneliness.

Liverpool are in really bad shape this season for the simple reason that they have lost their qualification for the European Champions League.

For Liverpool, this is not only a shame, but also represents a huge gap in income. They are surpassed by Newcastle and Premier League powerhouse Chelsea. Chelsea has reached an agreement with Abramovich. Bates The decision has been made to sell the Blues to the Russians.

When Houllier took over the reins of Liverpool, the Red Army's situation was also very bad, and now it has just gone through a reincarnation.

It is obvious that since Houllier suffered a heart attack, his coaching performance has always been unsatisfactory, especially at the critical moment of this season, being overwhelmed by Chelsea and Newcastle, which made Liverpool feel very frustrated.

Yang Cheng nodded. He was willing to come because he was interested in further negotiations with Liverpool.

"I think we can talk about the details!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.

In one sentence, both Morse and Parry were happy, because at least they finally got Yang Cheng's initial recognition.

Afterwards, the two sides discussed the current situation of the team while eating in Isola Bella's box.

In terms of the team's transfer fees, Morse and Parry are not as wealthy as Moratti or Abramovich, and it is impossible to agree to Yang Cheng's promise to buy whoever you want. .

"We can only raise a maximum of 35 million euros in transfer fees." This should be considered the link where Liverpool are least confident. You know, their competitors are all printing money one by one.

Logically speaking, Liverpool's operating conditions are pretty good. According to a report by World Football Magazine, they rank 9th in Europe in terms of club annual revenue of 99 million, second only to Manchester United's 148 million and Chelsea's 115 million in England. Exceeding Arsenal’s 91 million.

If you just look at the amount of money, you may not be able to tell, but everyone only needs to understand one thing, that is, Liverpool is the poorest area in England, while Manchester United is located in Manchester, Chelsea and Arsenal are both located in London. From the consumption situation, etc. Analyzing all aspects, it is not difficult to understand that in fact Liverpool's management is not bad.

However, due to losing the Champions League qualification next season, Liverpool's income will drop sharply. Therefore, the club cannot give too much transfer fees and must cut back and diet. This 35 million euros is estimated to include Owen's transfer to Real Madrid. The transfer fee, otherwise I probably wouldn’t have been able to get so much.

To be honest, Yang Cheng doesn't pay much attention to transfer fees. After all, once he takes office, he will definitely take the lead in reorganizing the team's lineup. At that time, he will definitely let go of a group of players and introduce a group of new players. This is certain.

Today's Liverpool, under the leadership of Houllier, has changed from the technical style of play during the Evans era, and has become very advocating physical fitness and physical confrontation. It has begun conservative tactics and achieved outstanding results in the early days of Houllier. Results, but as this tactic was figured out, Houllier's tactics remained unchanged, causing the team's record to deteriorate day by day.

"Okay, but I have a condition!" Yang Cheng nodded.

Morse and Parry looked at each other, nodded and said, "You tell me."

Negotiating with Yang Cheng is actually a very easy thing, because Yang Cheng does not have an agent. They can sit down and talk frankly. Unlike some head coaches who want to talk to them, they have to talk to their agent first. Or talk to an agent, that would be too depressing.

"I want to have the power of life, death and transfer of the team!" This is also one of Yang Cheng's limits.

Morse nodded almost without hesitation. He had already agreed to this when Yang Cheng was still in charge of Kaiserslautern, and now he just agreed again.

Afterwards, the two sides discussed the issue of Liverpool.

Yang Cheng has learned about Liverpool's roster and said he will work out a plan in the short term, but there is no doubt that he will make a lot of adjustments to the team.

"I hope to bring Liverpool back to a level that values ​​technology. I will spend some time constantly improving the team's lineup and improving my tactics. This will take some time!" Yang Cheng expressed his thoughts.

Morse and Parry both nodded. They also knew that it was impossible for a head coach to rebuild a strong team in a short time. Even a top head coach like Yang Cheng could not do it all at once. Just let Liverpool be reborn. If you want Liverpool to show its best side, you need to give Yang Cheng time.

"But one thing I can promise is that my team will always play offensive football, and my team will only fight for the championship!"

Morse and Pali couldn't help but nod. They were attracted to this, so they had been guarding Yang Cheng for the past four years.

"Also, I need an assistant who can have appeal in the locker room. The specific candidate can be selected by you and then left to me to decide. I will respect your opinions. In addition, I also need to bring my coaching team. , of course, you can also arrange for the coach to work in the first team, we will not exclude it!"

Inter Milan's first-team coaching staff has reached more than a dozen people. In addition to Yang Cheng's own coaching team, there are also other Inter Milan coaches. They all started from scratch and later were able to play some roles and learn from Got something.

I believe that with the departure of Yang Cheng and others, they will immediately step in and become Bergomi's right-hand man.

"Okay, let's get ready as soon as we get back!" Morse looked very excited.

Afterwards, the two parties negotiated the contract benefits. Yang Cheng's request was for three years and salary benefits. Liverpool certainly could not offer the same salary as Chelsea. They could only offer a slightly higher salary than Yang Cheng's current salary at Inter Milan.

Regarding this point, Yang Cheng did not bargain at all.

"If it were for money, I would choose Chelsea without hesitation!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.

Morse and Parry also agreed with this point, and immediately had a deeper understanding of Caesar's character.

Yang Cheng's requirements for the contract are very simple. In addition to the one that he has the right to unilaterally terminate the contract at any time and at any time, there is another one that he hopes to announce this agreement himself because he wants to fulfill his promise to Inter Milan fans.

Of course Morse and Parry wouldn't take no for an answer.

…………

…………

On the way back to Lake Como, Yang Cheng made a call to the coaching staff and asked them all to gather at his villa, including goalkeeper coach Di Palma.

Buffon's mentor has done a good job in Inter Milan's coaching staff and has received a lot of attention from the outside world. Like other members of Yang Cheng's coaching staff, his contract length is linked to Yang Cheng's contract, so he is now also Considered free.

Yang Cheng had a bad relationship with them before, and everyone had a tacit understanding and cooperated well. They will continue to cooperate in the future.

Among them, Chris Schmidt and Tim Hanke are already the main leaders of the research center established by Yang Cheng. Paul Bayer has always been Yang Cheng’s right-hand man. Meulensteen and Moniz have also been Following Yang Cheng, there is only Benitez.

Fatty Bei also hopes to go with Yang Cheng. He declined invitations from some teams, which made Yang Cheng feel sorry for him and a little lucky. At least with Benitez here, he can really do less. Save a lot of headaches.

After receiving Yang Cheng's call, the group of guys waiting for news in Milan immediately ran over one by one, and soon gathered at Yang Cheng's villa.

"Any results?" Paul Bayer asked with a smile as soon as he entered the door.

Yang Cheng nodded, and after everyone arrived, he announced with a smile.

"Everyone, I have just spoken with Liverpool chairman Morse and Parry. I am almost certain that the next stop will be the Premier League, Liverpool!"

Everyone was in an uproar. Liverpool is now a declining giant. No matter from any aspect, it is really not a top team. With Yang Cheng's current identity and status, it is really a bit condescending.

But when they thought about it more carefully, they suddenly understood.

Yang Cheng almost signed a contract with Liverpool back then, but was robbed by Inter Milan in the process. Now Yang Cheng has the idea of ​​​​compensating, not to mention that Liverpool has been chasing Yang Cheng for the past four years, and they know this.

After being together for so many years, they all knew better than anyone else what kind of temper Yang Cheng had. To deal with him, it was ideal to use feelings to grind him down.

"It seems that we will play in the UEFA Cup next season!" Tim Hank said with a smile.

"The League Cup is not bad, we have never played in it!" Chris joked.

On the contrary, the two senior brothers Meulensteen and Moniz looked sad.

"What's going on?" Yang Cheng asked concerned.

Meulensteen and Moniz looked at each other, "You have given us a huge problem!"

"Yeah, do you think we can get those English guys to play like the Brazilians?"

Everyone burst into laughter. England's players were indeed technically unable to compare with other countries on the European continent.

"I have confidence in you!" Yang Cheng smiled as a hands-off shopkeeper.

Everyone also started to boo.

Next, they analyzed and commented on the current situation of the team. Paul Bayer was well prepared and immediately called up Liverpool's player lineup for this season from the computer. There were many players that Yang Cheng was familiar with, and some He had already decided to clean it off as soon as he saw it.

"Arrau Diarra?" Yang Cheng felt familiar as soon as he saw the name.

This man was once the captain of the French national team, a strong midfielder with good footwork and the ability to control the ball.

"Do you have any impression of him?" Paul Bayer wondered.

If he hadn't collected information carefully, he might not have been able to find this kid. How could Yang Cheng know this black midfielder if he was so busy every day?

"How is he?" Yang Cheng asked.

"Not bad, playing in Le Havre, but this team was relegated in Ligue 1 this season, but the relegated team also has the benefits of the relegated team. Liverpool's three players who were loaned to Le Havre this season have all received He had a lot of playing opportunities, and his performance was really good." Paul Bayer introduced.

"Three?" Benitez was a little surprised. It's really not many to rent three players to one team at one time. "Who?"

"Strictly speaking, one was delivered, but two were reserved." Paul Bayer introduced with a smile.

"Arrau Diarra is young, but has good potential. He was valued by Bayern before. He joined Bayern from Ligue 2 and has been playing in the youth training camp. Last season, he switched to Liverpool and was loaned to LeA by Houllier. Foer.”

"Liverpool booked two promising stars in the Le Havre team as early as 2001, forward Pongler and midfielder Anthony Letale. These three players were the main players of Le Havre last season. The performance is indeed not bad for a young player, but it is difficult to save Le Havre. "

After a pause, Paul Bayer continued: "After Le Havre is relegated from Ligue 1 this season, it doesn't make much sense to continue to rent them. Therefore, Liverpool will recall them and decide whether they are based on your wishes." Stay in line.”

Yang Cheng nodded and did not continue to delve into the problems of these three young players. Instead, he focused on the team's lineup.

There are many talents in Liverpool's defense at present. Hyypia is a player that Yang Cheng has been interested in back then. Now he is definitely one of the best central defenders in the Premier League. Carragher is a right back, but Yang Cheng remembers that he was in Played as a central defender, he and Hyypia formed the strongest central defender combination in the Premier League.

On the left, there are players such as Traore and Riise, all of whom are practical. In the midfield, there are stars such as Smicer, Danny Murphy, Hamann, and Gerrard. Irving is gone, but Heskey, Baros and others are also considered stars with some reputation in the Premier League.

But for Yang Cheng, Liverpool's lineup is still far from what he had in mind.

At the very least, he can't ask this lineup to play the kind of football he wants!
