Chapter 66 Sometimes, giving up is the deeper love... (Second update, please vote for me!)

Even the media did not expect Chen Yingxiong to be so ruthless and actually take Richards and his agent Levak to court. Many media pointed out this point when commenting on this matter, thinking that Chen Yingxiong was too heartless, and if he continued like this, he would probably not have any friends.

In response, Chen Yingxiong's spokesperson Vera responded: "Hero's friends will not accuse him of racial discrimination without any basis. Thank you."

Anyway, this matter has already entered the judicial process, and there is nothing more to say next. We just have to wait for the court to convene.

The media's enthusiasm for hyping this matter suddenly became much less intense. Chen Yingxiong has brought a lot of stunts to everyone in the past week or so, but the media cannot rely on Chen Yingxiong alone to support them for a year, so they have to look for new events.

They found it quickly...

On December 11, after Liverpool lost 0:1 to Queens Park Rangers at home, Liverpool Club officially announced that after friendly negotiations, their contract with Dalglish will officially expire at the end of this season. !

This news not only shocked the English football world, but also shocked many Liverpool fans.

For a long time, Dalglish, as the "King" of Anfield, has enjoyed a very high status in the hearts of Liverpool fans.

He came out again last season when Liverpool was at the end of its rope. He took over the task at the last moment and led the team to successfully avoid relegation, which won him the love and admiration of most Liverpool fans.

Unexpectedly, such a beloved head coach would be fired?

Many people did not react to the news at first, and many people thought that Liverpool's official website had been hacked...

But then the news was confirmed by more channels.

Niang Lou, the manager of Liverpool Club, admitted this decision in an interview with reporters: "We made a very difficult decision. After all, Kenny is our legend. Letting him leave is not an easy decision to make. …”

He was right, he had put in a lot of effort to get Dalglish to get out... It was indeed not easy.

Chen Xing, the owner of Liverpool FC, also published an autograph on Piao Tianwen. In the statement, Chen Xing thanked Dalglish for his help during Liverpool's most difficult time last season. He highly praised Dalglish's character.

But no matter whether it was Niang or Chen Xing, no one at Liverpool Club gave an explanation for Dalglish's dismissal.

Because it needs no explanation.

There is only one reason, and that is that the results of the team led by Dalglish are really poor...

After a honeymoon period of as much as half of last season, a rift appeared between the two sides. From the exposure of Chen Yingxiong's transfer incident to the confrontation in the summer transfer, the conflict between Dalglish and Niang has become more and more serious.

But if he can lead the team to the top four in the league and enter next season's Champions League, he can continue to coach the team.

Dalglish's luck was very bad.

Suarez was injured and missed at least two months. Chen Yingxiong was suspended for six games for maliciously assaulting Richards. Originally, he thought that at least he still had Gerrard, who could take over for a while.

Unexpectedly, in the away game against Fulham, Gerrard, who had just returned from injury, was injured again... This time it was due to a window infection of his ankle injury.

And this time it is expected that he will need to rest for up to six months, which is undoubtedly terrible news for Dalglish.

Thirty-one-year-old Gerrard has suffered a total of 34 injuries in the past ten seasons, nine of which were groin injuries. On March 11 this year, he bid farewell to the game due to groin spasm and underwent groin surgery. As a result, at the end of July, Gerrard, who had already returned, suffered a bacterial infection in his groin and had to be admitted to the hospital.

Now that he finally recovered from his injury, he was injured again before he had even played a few rounds. Dalglish, who learned the news at the time, even threw away the water bottle in his hand angrily on the sidelines. The water splashed all over him and he didn't even notice.

Three of his most trusted players were injured and suspended. Now he is really in trouble.

In the league round when Gerrard was injured, Liverpool also lost 0:1 to Fulham. This is their fourth consecutive game without a win. The reason why they are still ranked eighth is entirely because the teams behind them are too far behind...

In the fifteenth round of the league, Chen Yingxiong, Gerrard and Suarez continued to be absent. Dalglish's Liverpool lost another 0:1 at their home court. This time the opponent was the newly promoted Queens Park Rangers.

They are still in eighth place, but ninth-placed Stoke City have caught up and are only one point behind.

At the same time, they are 16 points behind Manchester City, who is first in the league, and nine points behind Chelsea, who is fourth.

In the game against Queens Park Rangers, Dalglish's lack of flexible tactical concepts and poor on-the-spot command skills were also exposed. The team fell behind at the beginning of the second half, but Dalglish was still unable to come up with a way to solve the problem. He didn't even change the first person until the 80th minute. It's completely unclear what he was thinking. .

After losing the game, the post-match news media blasted Dalglish for his poor coaching and on-the-spot command.

"I have almost never seen Dalglish make substitutions before the 78th minute of a game! This is his on-the-spot command!"

"We did have an advantage in the first half, but without Suarez and heroes, our offense only blossomed but failed to bear fruit. We were scored just at the beginning of the second half. Logically speaking, we have almost the entire half of the game to think of ways and solve the problem. .No! Dalglish is completely indifferent!"

"Adam Johnson was put on the bench and got moldy, and Kuyt's playing time was also very unstable, which led to his state being very unstable, so he replaced the hero as the starting center in these games, and his performance was very poor...problem Not with Kuyt, but with Dalglish. In order to make way for the people he bought, players like Kuyt were put on the bench...Henderson rarely played any role on the wing. If he doesn't come out, he has become completely invisible on the court. Frequent criticism of him has made him lose confidence, but who can he blame? Who insists on placing a defensive midfielder in the winger position?"

As the game approached, photos of Dalglish frowning, yelling, and waving his arms wildly appeared on the pages of many newspapers.

His performance was interpreted as an image of incompetence that he was unable to do anything about.

Just after the collective bombardment by the media, Liverpool Club announced that Dalglish would be sacked at the end of this season.

Of course, there must have been some communication between the two parties before announcing the news.

Dalglish was unwilling to leave just like that. He hoped to succeed in Liverpool again. Since his last Premier League title at Blackburn Rovers, he has since moved on to Newcastle United and Celtic without success.

He didn't want to leave, but the cruel reality was right in front of him, and his poor grades became the last straw that crushed him.

Chen Xing was also dissatisfied with Dalglish's arbitrary behavior within the team. It cost the club more than 10 million pounds to buy Adam Johnson, but Dalglish really dared to keep him firmly on the bench and in the reserve team, without even giving him a minute of first-team game time. This has caused Johnson's agent to threaten the club. If his players are not given a chance to play, Adam Johnson will leave the team and find another job at the latest this summer.

A player who has cost the club 15 million pounds in transfer fees but has not made any contribution to the team is about to leave? This is of course not allowed.

Chen Xing told Dalglish that dismissal was non-negotiable, and the only difference was whether he would be dismissed now or delayed until the end of the season.

If Dalglish is willing to cooperate, the club will give him another half a season so that he can lead the team to finish the season. No matter what the result is, even if the basket is in vain, there will be no honors or European qualifications. I caught it and the club recognized it. By doing this, Dalglish will gain face. At least he will not leave midway, and his face will look better. It can be regarded as a decent farewell, and the club can avoid paying as much as Liquidated damages of £20 million.

If Dalglish doesn't cooperate, then Chen Xing will fire Dalglish now. He would rather pay him a high penalty than let him continue to harm the team. This means that if you don’t give me face, then I won’t give you face either.

A fierce quarrel broke out between the two parties during the negotiation process, but everyone saw the final result.

Dalglish chose to give in. The reason he gave was: "I am doing this for the good of Liverpool. Because I love Liverpool! More than all of you!"

After saying this, the old man walked out of the office with his head held high and proudly.

※ ※ ※

The influential local newspaper "The Echo" in Liverpool did a special feature specifically discussing Dalglish's dismissal.

Although Dalglish enjoys a high reputation among fans, any rational and calm person can see that Dalglish's ideas are too old and rigid, and are seriously unsuitable for today's football world. .

Many of his tactics, adjustments, and arrangements are out of touch with this era, and they all show the flavor of the 1990s.

After all, it has been twelve years since he left the position of head coach of the first team, so it is normal for him to not keep up with the times.

But the problem is that a giant like Liverpool cannot pin its hopes on such a person who is out of touch with the times if it wants to revive and rise.

Although everyone has deep feelings for Dalglish, feelings are feelings. If a club always talks about feelings, then there is no need to do anything.

At the end, the newspaper's review sighed: "This fact is cruel, but it proves once again that the legend of the team may not be the savior of the team today. Goodbye, Kenny, we thank you for your work. With everything Liverpool has given, no one will doubt your love for this club. But sometimes, giving up may lead to deeper love..."
