Volume 1: When a Hero Appears, People Pay Attention. Chapter 22 Tangning? ! (First Update, Please Vote for Me!)

Chapter 22 Tangning? ! (First update, please vote for me!)

Niang didn't tell Chen Xing what he wanted to talk to Dalglish about. Chen Xing is not only the chairman of the club, he also has other duties and jobs. It is impossible for him to sit on the team eight hours a day and five days a week. Therefore, many times, the person who has the final say in the club is actually Niang.

For such a trivial matter as communicating with the head coach, Niang naturally didn't need to make a special call to report to Chen Xing and prepare a case.

He went directly to Dalglish's office to find it.

"Hey, Kenny. Are you free now?" Dalglish walked in and asked after knocking on the door of his office.

"I'm getting ready to get off work." Dalglish shrugged. "What's the matter, Lu?"

"Actually, it's nothing. I want to chat with you. We rarely talk, right?"

Dalgliesh smiled: "That's true, we rarely talk alone like this. But I guess you didn't come to me to discuss what to eat tonight, right?"

Niang also smiled: "Of course. What do you think of heroes?"

"He? He is a very good center. I think he can become the next Alan Shearer." Comparing Chen Yingxiong to the next Alan Shearer, Dalglish's evaluation of Chen Yingxiong is quite high. When Dalglish was coaching Blackburn, why the team was able to win the championship had a lot to do with him making good use of Shearer.

"His header is excellent, isn't it?" Niang asked knowingly.

"certainly."

"So...don't you think we should consider bringing in wide players?" Niang was impatient to deal with Dalglish, and he expressed his thoughts straightforwardly.

After Dalglish heard what he said, he clapped his hands: "Ha! I was just about to tell you, Lu! I have a goal. I think he will greatly improve our wing offensive capabilities after he comes."

Niang was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Daglish was actually prepared to introduce wing players. If this was the case, he would have been wronged...

He was interested in the target Dalglish valued: "Who is that?"

Dalglish announced a name: "Tangning!"

Niang was stunned for a moment after hearing the name: "Who?"

"Stuart Downing!" Dalgliesh repeated.

Niang was very surprised: "Why?"

"Why?" Dalglish's reaction to the team general manager was also very strange.

"Yes, why Tangning?" Niang asked.

"Why can't it be Tangning?" Dalglish spread his hands and asked with a shrug.

"I don't think he's very good..." Niang said.

Dalglish frowned: "He has good speed and skills, and is relatively comprehensive. I think he is the talent we need." In fact, he still had unspoken subtext, which was - you are an Italian , how much do you really know about our players in England? Just say they are not good!

After hearing that Dalglish actually planned to buy Downing, Niang's heart exploded. He had already decided that no matter what, he must stop this transfer transaction.

He was telling the truth. He really thought that Tang Ning was not very good. She was not very fast and her skills were average. He was indeed amazing when he was at Middlesbrough, but after so many years, he has not performed well, but has regressed. The most important thing is that he believes that Tang Ning does not use his brain when playing football and does not have a high football intelligence. Such a player will only dribble the ball from the wing. How about...then don't care.

Do you expect people like this to deliver artillery shells to Chen Yingxiong? Go ahead and dream!

Although Downing was the best player at Aston Villa last season, so what? This is Liverpool!

Moreover, as a local English player who became famous at a young age, Downing was promoted as a genius by the English media, and now his net worth is extremely inflated.

"His football intelligence is very poor, Kenny. I don't think he will be of much help to us in the team..." He tried to persuade Dalglish.

But Dalglish waved his hand and interrupted him: "I have been following him for a long time. I think he is a threat on the wing. The most important thing is that he is an English player."

"So what?" Niang's tone was no longer polite when he spoke.

"UEFA's new policy requires that each game's starting lineup this season must have at least six local players. Downing is a local player, and buying him can solve this problem." Dalglish explained, but in his heart he felt that The general manager expressed doubts about his business ability. If he doesn't even know the famous "6+5", why should he be the manager of a club?

Dalglish always believed that Niang came to the position because of his relationship with his boss Chen Xing. Otherwise, given that person's ability, he would definitely not be able to take the position of general manager.

"We can buy another English player, but there is no need to buy Downing." Niang said. "I don't think he will be able to help the team when he comes... To be honest, he was really good when he first debuted, but in recent years he has played more and more back and has not improved at all, and there are many good full-backs who are better than him. Well, there is no need to keep an eye on Tangning."

Dalgliesh became a little annoyed when he saw Niang questioning the person he liked again and again, and decided to show Niang some strong evidence.

He turned on the television and VCR.

"Look at this," he said to Niang, pointing to the TV screen.

As the screen lit up, Niang saw Tangning wearing Aston Villa training clothes. He turned his back to the camera. There were three trash cans lined up on the training ground in the distance, and next to his There are also three footballs at his feet.

Tangning turned around and gave a thumbs up to the camera before kicking the ball.

He kicked three balls in a row, and all three footballs accurately flew into their respective trash cans, and the lids of the trash cans were even buckled down!

"Look, Lu. Tangning has such footwork and skills, is there any problem?"

Niang was stunned - he was not shocked by Tangning's excellent footwork, but shocked that Dalglish actually used this blurry video as evidence of signing.

He now has great doubts about Dalglish's insistence on bringing in Downing.

Why did Dalglish insist on bringing in Downing? Tangning's current worth is not low, it's inflated, and his level is not that good. At least it doesn't meet Liverpool's requirements.

He also thought of Dalglish's intention to bring in young Jordan Henderson, and even paid a high price of 15 million pounds.

I'm afraid there's something fishy here... Almost all the older generation managers in English football have manipulated transfers to make a profit. Why did Graham, the legendary Arsenal manager, step down? Nottingham Forest godfather Brian Clough received kickbacks on Sheringham's move to Tottenham Hotspur. The other party in this matter is Venables, who has a poor reputation in English football. Old Redknapp, the coach who is still active at Tottenham Hotspur, was troubled by the commission he received from player transfers. Even Ferguson, the symbol of Manchester United, had been subject to similar accusations - because of an agent of his son. The company has an almost monopoly on the transfer of many Manchester United players.

Dalglish also had something like this, but that was a long time ago.

If that's the case... Tangning can't be allowed to join the team. Niang cannot allow the team's head coach to use the opportunity to manipulate player transfers to make a lot of money for himself, which will harm the interests of the entire team and club.

The conversation between the two men did not continue. After Dalglish showed Niang the video of Downing, he bluntly stated that he was going home and would discuss anything tomorrow.

Niang did not continue to pester. He thought that video tape was really weird and he had to check it out.

Videos like this often appear now. It seems that Nike used this method when promoting Ronaldinho. He kicked the crossbar several times in a row and then bounced back to continue shooting the crossbar. After the video was released, it caused a heated discussion around the world, and everyone was guessing whether it was real or fake.

Niang felt that even if Tangning's video was true, it would not prove that Tangning was outstanding, because even an ordinary player could still kick such a ball after hundreds of experiments. There was nothing unusual about it. It would be too childish for Dalglish to use a video of this kind of juggling, or even a video that was recorded many times, as evidence of signings?

※ ※ ※

After returning home, Niang spent a whole night researching the matter, looking for evidence and searching for information.

Dalglish's interest in Downing is not news. The whole of England knows it and he has been pursuing Downing since last season.

Although there are other candidates for the wing position, such as Manchester City's Adam Johnson, Dalglish only loves Downing.

This kind of love seemed inexplicable to Niang. If Liverpool were a relegation team, they would be forgiven for falling in love with Downing. But Liverpool is a wealthy club and their goal is to compete in the European competition. Tangning is not up to par for Liverpool.

Doesn't Dalglish know? He is an old coach, so he doesn’t understand this? Then why does he like Tangning so much?

Not only did Niang find this strange, but even Liverpool's own fans couldn't understand it. In their opinion, Adam Johnson is much better than Tang Ning, but Dalgliesh just likes Tang Ning.

Some reporters asked Dalglish this question. Dalglish's answer was that Downing's level was sufficient, and the most important thing was that Downing wanted to come to Liverpool. This would reduce the pressure on the team to introduce players, and would prevent the team from being overpriced and spending so much transfer fee in vain.

Liverpool fans accepted this explanation - indeed, Downing has publicly announced many times that he would go to Liverpool if he wanted to transfer. He is a Liverpool fan.

This can indeed win the favor of many Liverpool fans.

But the problem is that Tang Ning is so eager to come to Liverpool, and his value has not been reduced because of this...

Twenty million pounds! Aston Villa insisted on this number and refused to let it go, and Tangning himself did not do anything to match his beloved gift, such as threatening the club and insisting on a transfer. Do you see how Charlie Adam moved from Blackpool to Liverpool? He has already gone to court with his old club!

It's not impossible to buy Tangning, but Niang cannot accept the fact that he has to pay 20 million pounds. Twenty million pounds can buy a very good winger in England and even in Europe, so why bother pursuing Downing?

What made him even more angry was that while collecting information, Niang also discovered information about the video - the video was produced and shot by the Aston Villa Multimedia Department, and the producer personally admitted that the video They were "produced" using video tools! Just like using Photoshop to process pictures, Tangning's skill of hitting the trash can three times in a row was revealed!

He was furious at that time - if I really bought Tangning back, wouldn't he be laughed at by the Aston Villa people for being a stupid Kaizi? He defrauded himself of 20 million pounds with a fake gadget! Do you really think that Liverpool’s money falls from the sky? !

ps. Regarding the Downing video, it is true. There are also rumors that Liverpool decided to buy Downing after watching this video. It is also true that Dalglish has always been interested in Downing.

But whether there is any necessary connection here... I don't know, but novel writers can still make up the necessary things.

Anyway, everything is for the needs of the plot~~

In addition, today is still an outbreak, the third update, and tomorrow will be the third update, so I will continue to ask everyone for help~~
