Chapter 24 Niang’s methods (Third update, please vote for me!)
Chen Yingxiong has always had a feeling during training that the quality of the team's crosses is very unstable. Sometimes it is okay, and sometimes it is a mess. Moreover, Liverpool does not have a person specifically responsible for crosses, and their wing attack is almost okay. can be ignored.
Although Chen Yingxiong's current ability has allowed him to get rid of the routine of relying solely on crosses from the wing and then header from the center to grab points. But without crosses from the wing, he was very uncomfortable. After all, crosses from the wing and headers from the center are really very efficient scoring methods. As a center, what matters is not whether the goals are beautiful, but whether they are all scored. Efficient scoring methods are naturally the most popular.
He discovered this in the warm-up matches this summer. Liverpool's crosses were really just kicking the football to the center.
He had to find the landing point himself, and grab it when he found it, and basically he was facing two people alone. He scored very few header goals in the warm-up games, which has something to do with this.
His teammates don't pay attention to accuracy or advance when passing crosses from the wing. It was just a cross, completely different from how he felt in Naples.
In Naples, when teammates pass the ball, they will look at where Chen Yingxiong is and what his running route is, so that the pass can be targeted. Moreover, in daily training, crossing is also a subject that wing players have to practice specifically. At that time, Chen Yingxiong must cooperate with running in the middle to receive the crosses from his teammates. This kind of training is very targeted and is one of the reasons why Chen Yingxiong was able to score 51 goals in a season.
In Liverpool, Dalglish did not arrange such a special crossing practice to let his teammates understand Chen Yingxiong's running and response habits. Naturally, Chen Yingxiong had no way of knowing the crossing habits of his new teammates. He figured out Liverpool's passing performance from so many warm-up matches.
He immediately felt that such a cross was really cheating. Many times he followed his experience and habits and ran into space, only for his teammates to pass the football behind him. The next time he deliberately waited, his teammates passed the football in front. He went to the back point and ran forward when the cross was passed. He was in the front point and the cross ball went straight to the back point... If he hadn't known that his teammates didn't have this intention, he would have really doubted whether he was deliberately playing tricks on him.
Later he learned that Liverpool’s level of crossing was just like this...
He felt like he didn't know what to say.
In Naples, the entire team's tactics were developed around him. They were so meticulous that even basic skills such as crossing had to be specially practiced, striving to allow every Naples wide player to grasp the characteristics of Chen Yingxiong's movement and find coordination. tacit understanding, thus accurately passing the football to Chen Yingxiong's head.
Chen Yingxiong, who had adapted to this kind of treatment, was a little unable to adapt to Liverpool's tactical play of passing the ball wherever he wanted.
Although he scored many goals in the warm-up match, but to say more, in fact, he scored a hat trick against the Chinese national team, and in other games it was just one goal. There was a special reason for his outburst in the match against the Chinese team and cannot be used as a reference.
In fact, his scoring efficiency is not high - yes, one goal per game. For Chen Yingxiong, this efficiency is really not high.
The reason why his scoring efficiency is not high is that he hasn't figured out Liverpool's wing play yet, and later found out that he couldn't adapt after he figured it out. He can still score one goal in a game, really because of his strong personal ability, especially long-range shooting. In the four warm-up games, he scored three goals with long-range shooting.
This is because in the warm-up match, everyone's defense was not very serious. If we enter the official league, we still have to rely on long-range shots to score goals.
It was at this time that he noticed that his teammates were discussing new signings.
Tangning is coming?
He didn't know who Tang Ning was at first, but later he gradually learned about this person amidst everyone's discussion. He turned out to be a wide player, and was said to be very good in his early years. Many people had high hopes for his future. He was Aston Villa's best player last season. Chen Yingxiong has a feeling of "I don't know what's going on, but it sounds awesome"...
As long as he is a wide player, it seems that Dalglish has noticed this problem, so he has nothing to worry about.
As for Tangning's level, he couldn't care about that. He felt that the person the "King" was interested in couldn't be any worse, right? After all, it’s also Liverpool. A wealthy team naturally needs to have wealthy-level players. How can any cat or dog come here?
You have to be someone with some ability, right?

Niang's counterattack against Dalglish was not directly put on the table, so it was a slap in the face and affected the unity of the club's management. Moreover, Dalglish's prestige among players and fans is quite high. Although many fans question why he values Downing so much, in general, the kop still admire and support Dalglish very much. , if he had a falling out with Dalgliesh in person, I'm afraid it would be bad for him and would also put Chen Xing's pressure on him.
He decided to go to Chencang secretly.
He ignored the overwhelming transfer rumors about Tangning in the news media. Tangning is not a player at the level of Messi or Chen Yingxiong. Why does his transfer attract so much attention from the media? He couldn't help but think about whether Tangning's agent had received some instructions to use the media to hype up the transfer deal, creating an established fact that Liverpool would not be able to buy it, but would have to accept their offer to buy it. Come out with the price.
He responded with silence, and then started his own action - you Dalglish can buy and sell players, and so can I!
I am the general manager of the team, don’t I still have such little power?
He is interested in Adam Johnson who plays for Manchester City.
Compared with Downing, Johnson's speed has no advantage, but he has good skills and is also an English player. The most important thing is that although he is left-footed, he can also play on the right and can play on both sides. Moreover, since he is not as famous as Tang Ning, the price can be cheaper.
In addition, Niang also learned that Manchester City is seducing Arsenal's Nasri. Nasri mainly plays on the wing. After he comes, there will definitely be no room for Adam Johnson. Adam Johnson was the main player in Manchester City last season and played 31 league games in a season, but his situation this season may not be the same as last season.
Niang plans to start from now on and use Nasri to persuade Adam Johnson to switch to Liverpool. Although Liverpool has never won a championship in recent years, and its reputation and number of overseas fans have also been declining, Liverpool's influence in England is still great. Liverpool and Manchester United are the two teams that English players are most willing to join. The established giants , once the hegemon of English football, his majesty is still there.
Niang believes that the only difficulty in Adam Johnson's move to Liverpool is that Manchester City may not be willing to sell players to competitors in the league.
To this end, he has privately authorized others or personally launched public relations.
He didn't tell anyone about this, unlike Dalglish who clamored around the world, wishing everyone knew that he was going to spend 20 million pounds to buy Tang Ning and be the scapegoat.
The interesting thing about Liverpool's interest in Adam Johnson was announced by Manchester City.
They say Liverpool have inquired about a bid for Adam Johnson from the club.
Niang is not afraid that this matter will be exposed, it is okay if it is exposed. It is obviously much better to send some hints to Dalglish through the Manchester City club and the media than to put himself in the spotlight.
But Dalglish was a little surprised when he heard the news - although he had said that Adam Johnson was within his consideration range, he had not asked Manchester City about the price. He is still focused on conquering Downing.
How is this going?
※ ※ ※
Dalgliesh ran to find Niang.
"Ah, it's like this, Kenny. We think we can't put all our eggs in one basket. If Tangning can't negotiate, we can't not bring in any wide players, right? So we try to make contact. Manchester City, ask them if they are willing to let Adam Johnson leave. Because we know that you have also said that Adam Johnson can also be considered..." Niang quoted what Dalglish once said. He did say that if Downing is really If not, Adam Johnson can too.
In other words, Niang seems to be thinking about himself, right? But why does he feel unhappy? It feels like I've been offended...
"That's right, but Lu. Tangning will definitely come back to Liverpool, there will be no problem at all! He himself has a strong desire to join the team, and the offer made by Aston Villa is not too high. They only ask for 20 million It’s just pounds. Twenty million can hardly buy a decent player in today’s football world, let alone an outstanding player like Downing! I’m trying to get in touch with Aston Villa, as long as we increase the offer to two thousand Ten thousand pounds, I believe an agreement can be reached soon! Downing himself also expressed his willingness to come to Liverpool." He still expressed his dissatisfaction. "Moreover, I think that when the club plans to contact other teams and purchase a certain player, it is best to discuss it with me. You know... I have the final say on the team!"
Kenny Dalglish deserves to be the "King" of Liverpool, and he is full of aura when he speaks such domineering words.
Niang didn't want to directly conflict with Dalglish, so he just smiled and did not refute him.
※ ※ ※
After teaching Niang a lesson, Dalglish left.
Niang bypassed him to contact Manchester City, which gave him a sense of crisis and made him feel the need to speed up the contact with Aston Villa.
Isn’t it just twenty million pounds? Although the club only has 20 million pounds left in its transfer budget for this season, he still plans to spend it all on Downing.
He is the head coach of a Premier League team and he has the power to do this. If he were the head coach of a Serie A team, he would have no say in this matter.
※ ※ ※
Dalglish intends to speed up negotiations with Aston Villa, while Niang is also stepping up his efforts to recruit people from Manchester City.
He also sent someone to contact Adam Johnson privately, to inquire about his tone and see what he thought about leaving Manchester City and coming to Liverpool.
This summer, Liverpool has a perverted shooter like Chen Yingxiong, which has indeed increased the attraction for many players, because it shows that Liverpool is really planning to do something great, and their new boss still has ideas, unlike before The two American bosses intend to use Liverpool to make money...
The people from Niang directly told Adam Johnson that Liverpool now has a high center like Chen Yingxiong, so we need wide players on the wing who have the ability to pass the football to his head. And you, Adam Johnson, are exactly what we need. If you come to Liverpool, you will definitely be guaranteed a starting position!
This is a bit arrogant, because the person who can guarantee the main position is the head coach, not the team's general manager.
But Adam Johnson didn't know about the conflict between Niang and Dalglish. He only thought that Niang was talking to him on behalf of Dalglish.
Manchester City's pursuit of Nasri is coming to an end, and it looks like they are going to succeed. However, once Nasri comes to the team, he will lose his position, that's for sure.
So...maybe moving somewhere is actually a good option?
