Chapter 231 Ali Sissoko (Tenth update, please vote for me!)
I have to say that Niang's movements are indeed fast. On June 11th, both Liverpool and Fiorentina officially announced that Bochetti and Coates had changed clubs, with Bochetti officially joining Liverpool, while Coates went to Fiorentina as an addition to the transfer deal.
When the news was announced, the media were a little surprised. They were not surprised that Bochetti went to Liverpool - foreigners also understand that water flows to lower places and people go to higher places. It's no surprise that Coates left Liverpool - there were already signs of this.
They just didn't expect that as the four-time champions last season, Liverpool didn't sleep on their laurels and enjoy the benefits of so many championships.
Instead, he immediately devoted himself to the transfer market and launched a vigorous and resolute transfer operation.
Bochetti's move to Liverpool is nothing to write home about in itself.
But the symbolic significance of this transfer deal is far greater than the practical significance. This means that Liverpool's ambitions for next season have not weakened. They have bigger goals and at least continue to compete for the championship.
"...This is a signal, a signal from Liverpool to other competitors, telling them that Liverpool has not been filled by four championships, their appetite has not been satisfied, and there is no end to it! I think this is what it means The scariest thing about this team!”
One media commented on this transfer deal this way.
Bochetti had no idea that his invisible choice would become a symbol of Liverpool's ambitions.

Niang did not take the time to read what the media said about his transfer.
After taking down Bocheti, he flew to Senegal non-stop to target Ali Sissoko.
The left-back, who has become a world-class player in Ligue 1, is Liverpool's latest prey.
Taking down Sissoko is much more difficult than taking down Bochetti.
Bochetti personally wants to come to Liverpool, and Liverpool has no competitors. Florence's main central defender is not attractive enough for many wealthy clubs. In addition, Bochetti himself is only 1.78 meters tall. As a central defender, this height is his shortcoming and the main reason why many wealthy teams have little interest in him.
But Sissoko is different. As early as when he was in Porto, he attracted the attention of many wealthy clubs. AC Milan once won him for 15 million euros. It was only because he failed the physical examination that he was sent back. The reason given by AC Milan at the time was extremely ridiculous. The Milan laboratory believed that Sissoko had a problem with his teeth because the teeth had caused muscle inflammation and had not healed, which would affect his future performance. In fact, this is simply an excuse. The real reason may be that AC Milan believes that spending 15 million euros to buy a 21-year-old young left-back is too risky, so they proposed to Porto that they would first pay 150 million euros. Sissoko will be loaned out for one year at a price of 10,000 yuan, plus a preferential acquisition clause. However, this request was rejected by Porto with "exorbitant asking price".
What team is Porto?
It is a well-known black shop in Europe after Lyon. Seeing that 15 million euros are about to arrive, it has come to nothing because of such a nonsensical reason. It is strange that they can still agree to AC Milan's request. Their goal It's only 15 million euros, and 1.5 million people don't even take it seriously.
In this way, AC Milan missed out on this top left-back, and then was taken advantage of by Lyon - judging from Sissoko's current worth and reputation, Lyon was indeed taken advantage of.
During these seasons at Lyon, he has improved rapidly and has grown into one of the few top left-backs in world football today. AC Milan later regretted it and wanted to bring Sissoko, who was already in Lyon, back to the San Siro Stadium. But at this time, success cannot be achieved with just 15 million euros.
They were ruthlessly rejected by Lyon. What's more, AC Milan fell into a financial crisis afterwards, and there were constant reports that owner Silvio Berlusconi was going to divest his capital and sell AC Milan. Naturally, Milan had no time to pursue Sissoko anymore. . Although they do regret it.
But who made them reluctant to even part with 15 million euros to escape happily?

As a left back, Sissoko became famous when he was in Porto. At that time, in the Champions League match between Porto and Manchester United, he successfully froze Cristiano Ronaldo and became famous in one battle.
Later, when he was in Lyon, he met Real Madrid and froze Di Maria throughout the game. At the same time, he was not at a disadvantage in the two matches with Cristiano Ronaldo.
Sissoko's physical fitness is very good, which is also a trait of many black players. He is 1.81 meters tall and weighs 75 kilograms.
As a full-back, defense is his job. In terms of defense, Sissoko is very tough. This can be seen from his ability to freeze Cristiano Ronaldo at his peak.
But this is not enough. A good defensive left back is at most a good left back. The real factor that determines whether he is a world-class left back is the offense.
Modern football requires a lot of assists from full-backs, and the full-backs' offensive tasks are even heavier than defense in the game.
A full-back who can't attack can't even be sold at a high price, but a full-back who is stronger in offense than defense can easily sell for a sky-high price.
Sissoko's offensive talent is amazing, and his assists are resolute and threatening. His good physical fitness allows him to easily cope with sprinting back and forth, without being unable to come back after attacking and losing his defensive position.
For such a top central defender, it will not be easy for Liverpool to win him.
A year ago, Niang had some thoughts, but at that time Lyon had an attitude of not letting Sissoko leave without 40 million euros.
Liverpool will naturally not pay so much money for a left-back.
The reason why Lyon were so confident a year ago was that Sissoko had a contract with Lyon.
After a contract extension at that time, Sissoko's contract with Lyon did not expire until 2016.
Now a year later, things have changed.
There is still one year left on Sissoko's contract with Lyon. If Lyon is not going to be depleted of people and money after the end of the season, they'd better let Sissoko leave now, so that they can still make a profit. Sissoko's agent has rejected contract renewal talks with Lyon. This news has spread throughout European football, and everyone knows that Sissoko is determined to leave this time.
He is already twenty-seven years old, and the golden age of his career has begun. If he continues to stay in Lyon, he will not have achieved anything, and he must go to a wealthy club.
So this time is different from last time. Last time Sissoko was still young and could bear to stay because the transfer fee issue could not be negotiated.
But now, it is absolutely impossible for him to renew his contract with Lyon.
Lyon himself knows this very well. Sissoko will definitely leave this summer. But with Lyon's style, if you want to leave, you can leave as long as you make enough money for the club!
For Liverpool this season, it is possible to take away Sissoko, but the price to pay is also high.
In addition, in addition to monetary issues, Liverpool will also face many competitors.
European giants including Barcelona and Real Madrid have extended an olive branch to Sissoko.
Manchester United plans to buy Sissoko to replace the aging Evra, and Manchester City, who are wealthy, also want to introduce Sissoko. They had already made an offer to Lyon when they had the last opportunity.
In addition, after Ashley Cole retires, Chelsea also needs a top left back, and Sissoko is naturally the best candidate.
Lyon is most happy to see so many giants fighting for one person. He doesn't even have to raise the price himself, it's enough to let these giants fight for their own head and blood.

Niang's strategy is still the same, first find the player himself and ask him about his wishes. If the player himself has no interest in your team at all, then it would be a waste of time to go to the club.
If the player himself is interested in competing with other teams.
However, Sissoko was not in France. He went to Senegal for vacation at the end of the season. This is why Niang flew to Senegal.
He had to talk to Sissoko in person so that he could show his respect.
Although Liverpool was the most successful team in European football last season, as the general manager of Liverpool, Niang did not feel that he should be superior in front of the players and put on the airs of a wealthy manager.
This may be the reason why he can always succeed...
To impress players, it depends not only on the team's brilliant record and generous salary.
Sometimes, playing the favor card works quite well.
For example, Chen Yingxiong...

Niang finally met Sissoko at a resort somewhere in Senegal.
Of course, it was not easy to meet. He first had an interview with Sissoko's agent, Ali Barat, and also gave him some money.
Only then did he meet Sissoko himself.
The two parties talked for an afternoon in a hotel in the resort.
Niang expressed to Sissoko the interest of Liverpool head coach Martin O'Neill in him, and then naturally promoted Liverpool to him, tactfully hinting to Sissoko that following Chen Yingxiong will have meat to eat, and he will definitely win the championship. Be soft-handed. Just look at this season... for proof!
In short, it is Xiaozhi who uses reason to move his emotions.
Just like the weird uncle who seduces a little girl, hoping to abduct Sissoko back to his home.
But these days, Sissoko and his agent have obviously heard too many words like this. They are not interested at all and do not believe it.
There was no other way, Niang had no choice but to use his trump card.
He told Sissoko about Liverpool's goals for next season.
"Next season, our goal is to win all the championships!"
This sentence was indeed very shocking. As soon as it was thrown out, the two people were frightened.
