Three Hundred and Ninety-Six Kaizi
396 Kaizi
The setting sun dyed a large area of the sky red like blood, adding a layer of tragic color to the huge bronze pillar in Place Vendôme and the statue of Napoleon, which made people unable to help but think about it. , what would history have been like if the Battle of Waterloo had not been lost?
Yang Cheng sat on the window sill of the Ritz Hotel in Paris, looking at the statue of Napoleon high above. What he was thinking about was that Napoleon was exiled for the first time. After escaping, he still chose to return to France and began his second term in power.
In his previous life, Yang Cheng, every time he saw this section of Napoleon's biography, regardless of the historical truth, he felt like cheering for this fearless French king. How great!
Yang Cheng himself is also a person who likes to accept challenges, so this time he left Inter Milan and came to the Premier League Liverpool.
A continent that is different from the two leagues he has coached in the past, and a very unique league style.
He had carefully understood the Premier League before and carefully studied whether the tactics he admired in Germany and Italy could still be effective in the Premier League?
For this reason, he had a long debate with Paul Bayer, Benitez and others, and finally he came to the conclusion that copying it was absolutely impossible!
Even Wenger, who admires technical play, had midfielders like Vieri, Parlor and Gilberto in his hands during his true peak period in the Premier League. This ensured Arsenal's stability in the Premier League.
One thing that many football fans may not have thought about is that Arsenal has so many cards. Some people even accused Wenger of red-carding the coach a long time ago. In the following years, Arsenal encountered countless fouls and fouls. Injury, it is inevitable that there will be no entanglement in the grudges and grudges of Vieira, Parlor and others who hurt others.
Judging from the situation of Ferguson and Wenger, Yang Cheng feels that if you want to succeed in the Premier League, you must not be soft, but be tough!
That's why he chose Davis, preparing to form a midfield triangle of Hamann, Davis and Gerrard in the new season, firmly restricting Liverpool's midfield, and then attacking from both wings.
Of course, these are only temporary, and are also changes Yang Cheng made to his coaching style in order to adapt to the Premier League's tactical play. Otherwise, if he blindly adheres to the so-called technical play and introduces a group of technical players, the result will be When someone hits you, wow, they all fall to the ground, that's really sad.
Another factor that contributed to Yang Cheng's tactical change was the latest interpretation of the offside rule promulgated by FIFA.
To use the simplest example, it is,
If two players on the team attack the opponent's defense at the same time, and player 1 is in an offside position, but as long as he does not participate in the game, it is not considered offside, and player 2's offense is valid.
From now on, the offside trap will completely become a landmine!
That is to say, from now on, the interspersed running in the frontcourt will become more threatening and targeted than ever.
The most standard and textbook example of scoring after running through Yang Cheng's previous life was when three players attacked and two were offside, but they did not directly participate in the game and did not block the goalkeeper, but they interfered with the opponent's defense. With the player's judgment and concentration, the third player stepped in from the back and scored.
In his previous life, Manchester United's subsequent troika Rooney, Ronaldo and Tevez rushed at the opponent's defense as soon as they got the ball, like three sharp arrows, completely turning the opponent's defense upside down. This kind of The tactical play is rough, but it is also highly entertaining.
But Yang Cheng has to do better than Manchester United and Ferguson, better than anyone else.
This definitely couldn't be accomplished in a short time, so he had to think about it slowly and make adjustments slowly.
…
Just as he lowered his head and thought, the door of the room was opened from the outside, and he saw the most beautiful woman in France, wearing a white singlet and a blue denim jacket, sneaking into the room like a thief.
"It scared me to death!" She took off her hat from her head, took off her sunglasses, smiled like a flower, and walked towards Yang Cheng, "I just met a few reporters outside. It seemed like he was looking for you, and they almost recognized you."
She came to Yang Cheng's side, jumped lightly, and jumped to the window sill to sit down, but her whole body was lying on Yang Cheng's curved legs, her chin was touching his knees, and her watery eyes were like It's talking and staring at him.
"I don't think you are any different!" She smiled after looking at him for a long time.
"What's the difference?" Yang Cheng laughed.
"They all say you'll become rough after you go to England, right?"
Yang Cheng made a face, "It seems that you prefer macho men like Ano Siva Singh!"
Melissa giggled at his amusement, but she held his hand and pressed it against her face. The scene looked very warm.
"How is the transfer market in France recently?" Yang Cheng felt the pink touch from the back of his hand. He enjoyed the tenderness, but he did not forget the purpose of his trip.
"Of course Ronaldinho is the most popular, guess what he is worth now."
Yang Cheng shook his head, "How do I know?"
"Guess!" Melissa said.
"I heard that Chelsea has also joined the competition!" Yang Cheng said.
"Well, as expected, he is very wealthy and suddenly offered a high price of 20 million euros. Now everyone is complaining, but Paris Saint-Germain is happy to enjoy the gains."
After a pause, she looked at Yang Cheng again, "What? Are you also interested in him?"
Yang Cheng shrugged, "Asked casually, he said he won't go to a team that can't play in the Champions League."
"But if you come forward, he should go. You are the head coach he admires most!" Melissa once interviewed Ronaldinho, so she knew this.
But soon, she smiled again, "However, I have talked with Gutur, the boss of nl+ TV station, and their ambitions are higher now, less than 30 million euros. It is estimated that it will be difficult for them to let go."
Yang Cheng smiled and shook his head, "This world is so fucking crazy!"
"Isn't it?" Melissa opened his legs and sat in his arms, leaning on him like this, "Not long ago, the price was 12 million euros, and they were still arguing with Manchester United for hundreds of thousands. Now The fixed price is 30 million euros, and there is no discount, it’s crazy!”
Yang Cheng was a ball player in his previous life, and he couldn't know more about it, but now he is in it. It is really difficult for him to define whether Abramovich's appearance is good or bad, but it is foreseeable that he Such a move would definitely bring him huge trouble.
When the team sells people, they will appreciate him, but when they buy people, they will become ruthless and feel that this bastard has broken the rules.
"By the way, how is the matter I asked you to do before?" Yang Cheng asked with concern.
Melissa raised her head, her mouth forming a graceful arc, "Do I look like someone who will disappoint you?"
After a pause, she smiled and asked, "I helped you, how can you thank me?"
"How do you want me to thank you?" Yang Cheng stretched out his hand to caress her small but delicate face, as if it were a finely crafted French work of art. "Wait a minute and then die." Already, okay?"
Melissa shook her head and drew circles in his palm with her slender fingers, "How could I be willing to let you die so early?"
Yang Cheng leaned over and greedily sniffed the fragrance of the hair on her head. He only felt relaxed and happy in his heart. He didn't want to move or think about anything. He just wanted time to stop at this moment.
"Stop teasing me!" Melissa blushed. It turned out that Yang Cheng's claws had already penetrated her clothes with familiarity, "Do you want to know?"
Yang Cheng stopped immediately and behaved like a soldier.
"I have found everything you asked me to check before. Guingamp's Didier Drogba is from Ivory Coast. He performed very well last season. Together with Malouda, he formed Guingamp's double forward. Both of them are He contributed an outstanding double-double in Ligue 1, including Drogba who scored 17 league goals."
Yang Cheng leaned against the edge of the window sill with his eyes closed, listening to the heavenly voice coming from Melissa's mouth. He felt extremely comfortable, but he was very serious, "Is there any team that wants him?" ?”
"Of course, Marseille and Lyon are both very interested in him, and Lyon is also preparing to get Malouda, but maybe you would never have thought that they also want to get Michael Essien." After saying this, Melissa giggled laughed.
"So greedy?" Yang Cheng pretended to be surprised.
Melissa was amused by his grimace, "Are you greedy?"
But she quickly explained: "Actually, the current situation of French Ligue 1 is not good. Paris Saint-Germain is heavily in debt, Monaco has a debt of 100 million euros and is on the verge of bankruptcy. The teams that are really well-run are probably only Leon is the only one left, so naturally they will be more ruthless in poaching people!"
Yang Cheng nodded and sighed, professional football is all about money.
Lyon has won seven consecutive French Ligue 1 titles, which sounds impressive to say, but in fact this is based on the fact that most teams in Ligue 1 are experiencing financial crises, just like Monaco. Who would have thought that they are about to go bankrupt now? The debt reaches 100 million euros, and even the Monaco royal family has mobilized, but can it reach the Champions League final?
"Didn't you say before that you wanted a right winger? I think Monaco's Giuly is good. If you buy it now, you will definitely get it!" Melissa said with confidence.
Yang Cheng frowned and said, "Miss Terrio, you give me the impression that you hang out with the big guys in the football circle all day long, and you are a bit unprofessional!"
Melissa laughed and kissed Yang Cheng's face, "Are you jealous of me too? That's great!"
Yang Cheng hugged the beauty tightly and said nothing.
"Aren't I here to get some information from you? Otherwise, do you really think I'm so well-connected?"
Yang Cheng hummed and said nothing.
"I have already had phone calls with Guingamp and Bastia. A friend of mine will lead the way for you. As long as the price is right, there should be no problem in getting it."
Today, Melissa is very famous in France. In addition, she was a football reporter before, and later an anchor. She also hosted some football-related programs, which allowed her to accumulate a large number of contacts in this area.
After Yang Cheng and her analysis, Drogba's price should be 6 million euros, while Essien's price is slightly more expensive, around 8 million euros, but these two players can play when they come, and they have a lot of advantages. With great potential, Yang Cheng feels it is a very good deal, because these two players can at least guarantee Liverpool's combat effectiveness in the next few years.
Regarding Essien, Yang Cheng feels that in some aspects, he is a bit like Davis. He is very interested to see what Ghanaians can learn from the Dutch when Essien and Davis are together.
"Okay!" Yang Cheng stood up from the window sill and picked up Melissa, "Let me reward my great military advisor!"
Although she knew there was no one in the room, the shy Melissa couldn't help but buried her head in his arms in shame after hearing this.
…………
…………
Yang Cheng stayed in France for a few days. Under Melissa's guidance, he went to Guingamp and Bastia and had detailed discussions with the presidents of the two clubs.
From these two transfers, Yang Cheng truly saw Melissa's influence in France, especially in the field of football. These football bosses seemed to respect her very much, but in terms of specific transfer details, Melissa did not speak, but Yang Cheng negotiated with the other party.
In the end, Yang Cheng won Drogba and Essien at prices of 6.2 million and 7.8 million respectively.
But for the time being, Yang Cheng only reached an agreement with them on behalf of Liverpool. For the real transfer operation, Rick Parry will arrange for people to come over and invite two players to Liverpool for medical examinations. Only after going through this After some procedures, they can truly become Liverpool players.
Originally, Yang Cheng asked Melissa Theriault to help find Ribery, but this girl did not do well and could not find this person in the semi-professional team Alais. It is said that he was due to the club's salary arrears. He left the team early and his whereabouts are unknown since, God knows where.
After finalizing these two transfers, Yang Cheng also received the final offer from West Ham United and gave a positive reply. Glen Johnson moved to Liverpool for 5 million euros. This English native right back was also appointed by Yang Cheng. A transfer, but that damn local account made his worth almost inflated by about 1 million.
It is said that after learning that Glen Johnson was poached by Yang Cheng, Abramovich became furious at Stamford Bridge, angrily criticizing Ranieri and the club's transfer staff for their poor handling of the matter, because this player was originally their favorite, but due to recent Chelsea have focused on the transfers of Makelele and Ronaldinho, causing them to ignore Glen Johnson.
The Guardian even ran a piece of the conversation in the paper.
"Why is that called...he is an English player anyway, why would he switch to that damn Yang Cheng?" Abramovich asked angrily.
"Boss, the price offered by the other party is obviously too high. West Ham United has been relegated and the financial situation is not good, but they quoted a price of 8 million euros. It is obvious that they are robbing us!"
"Damn it, Kaizi is Kaizi. I have a lot of money. Isn't it just 3 million euros? Even if it is 30 million, you have to give me back that player whose name is mine!"
"Boss, it's too late, the agreement has already been signed!"
"After you sign the agreement, throw money at me!"
"It's not a good deal, boss!"
"I don't care, I have money!"
"That guy has been a Liverpool player since he was a kid!"
"I have money!"
"He admires Caesar very much and hopes to make progress under Yang Cheng's coaching!"
"I have money!"
"Yang Cheng is also very optimistic about him and called him personally!"
"I have money!"
"He looks down on us Chelsea!"
",I have money!"
…
No one knows whether this conversation is true or false, but it is obvious that the grudge between Liverpool and Chelsea has been forged since Yang Cheng abandoned Chelsea and defected to Liverpool.
And judging from the current situation, this gang seems to be getting more popular.
Especially in the new season's Premier League schedule announced by the Football Association, in the first round of the league, Liverpool welcomes Chelsea at home. Doesn't this just give the two teams a chance to compete?
"These bastards are not good at anything else, but they are very good at creating gimmicks!"
When Yang Cheng got the latest league schedule from his assistant, he could only smile and shake his head. He felt that the FA guys had done a good job in publicity and stunts. At least Liverpool and Chelsea were together. , enough to cause great concern in the first round of the Premier League.
In addition, the Premier League has always beaten the drum earlier than other leagues, and the effect is even more obvious.
This season Liverpool will go to Asia according to the previous plan. Not only them, but also the other two Premier League teams will go to Asia. This is also the tacit understanding of the Premier League teams to develop overseas markets, and Manchester United and other The team is going to the United States.
Liverpool's original itinerary included Shanghai, but later the team considered the situation and finally decided to set the first stop in Thailand. The opponent was the Thai national team. After that, they would go directly to Hong Kong and play against Hong Kong United. A warm-up match, and finally returned to Liverpool, canceling the trip to Shanghai.
While Liverpool successively announced the signing of Didier Drogba, Essien and Glen Johnson, Real Sociedad once again rejected Liverpool's offer for Xabi Alonso. They directly offered a bid of 35 million euros. He even shouted that if Liverpool could get the money, they could take Xavi Alonso away from Spain.
This disappoints Yang Cheng. Who makes it difficult to find organizational midfielders today?
Yang Cheng's substitute was also a Spaniard, Mikel Arteta, but this player chose Real Sociedad for his supermodel girlfriend and refused to stay in the cold and humid UK.
"Does this count as looking good at the expense of my own future?" When Yang Cheng heard the news, he asked Ian Rush with a wry smile. He really felt that Arteta's choice was obviously the result of the pillow style.
Unfortunately, Arteta switched to Real Sociedad, who still refused to compromise on Xavi Alonso, the Spanish midfielder who was praised by Redondo and Guardiola as the player who most resembles them. Has it triggered competition between Real Madrid and Manchester United?
After putting down the phone, Yang Cheng also felt a little irritated, especially when he walked into the conference room again and saw the greedy guy in front of him. He felt that if he dealt with him again, he would go crazy.
"The fixed price is 12 million euros. If you want it, take it. If you don't want it, I'll take it down. I will never raise the offer even by one penny. Please think carefully!"
It can be seen that he is angry too!
But not everyone is as happy to be a villain as Abramovich! x-on:.
