Chapter 6 Cooperation (Third update, please vote for me)

Niang once said that he would tear down the Liverpool empire and rebuild it. In fact, that was just an exaggeration. In any case, he would not be able to tear down the entire team and rebuild it.

Not to mention that he now attaches great importance to the opinions of the head coach. We have just signed the contract. If there are things that ignore the head coach's opinions and go against the head coach, I'm afraid it will be very bad for the future cooperation between the two parties. Maybe Martin O'Neill will resign immediately and leave?

So he still has to discuss with O'Neal about whether the team needs to be rebuilt.

O'Neal has not been idle since he negotiated with Liverpool and was waiting to sign. As soon as he arrived, he started to collect all the inquiries related to Liverpool. He paid attention to the reports about Liverpool in the media. This was also thanks to Chen Yingxiong, because There is such a person that the media likes, so Liverpool's exposure is quite high.

In addition, Liverpool, as a traditional giant, is now in decline. People will continue to analyze this matter and try to find out the reason for their decline.

In short, there are many things O'Neal can understand just by reading newspapers and TV news.

But it’s not enough to just listen to the media’s word for some things. Reporters are not as professional as the head coach. O'Neal trusts his glasses case and brain more. So he watches every Liverpool game live.

Precisely because he has done so much detailed preparation work, even though O'Neal has just taken office, he already knows the team he is about to coach very well.

So when Niang came to him to discuss the matter of purging and recruiting, he told Niang his thoughts.

"Actually, there is no need for Liverpool to clean up and recruit on a large scale." O'Neill said to Niang. "The framework of this team was established during the Benitez period, and overall it's pretty good. Benitez's signings were a bit weighty rather than quality, but the framework has been put in place. Next, we only need to make local adjustments." That’s it…”

"No need for large-scale cleaning?" Niang was a little disappointed. He was sharpening his sword to fight against pigs and sheep.

O'Neal nodded: "At most one person can be added to the forward line. This is the strongest point in the team. We have such an outstanding forward as Hero and Suarez, which has made many teams feel envious... Because the midfielder Injuries are a bit troublesome, but we have Shelvey and Henderson..."

At this point, Niang interrupted O'Neill.

"Well, Henderson, I plan to clean it..."

O'Neill looked up at him.

"His strength is not up to Liverpool's requirements. His performance last season was too bad. Dalglish has completely destroyed his confidence..."

He thought O'Neal would object, so he prepared a bunch of reasons to convince the other party.

Unexpectedly, before he could speak, O'Neal nodded: "If you must clean it, you can clean it. But I suggest that it is better to rent and sell." O'Neal could guess why the general manager of this team insisted on doing so. Purging Henderson, because that was the player Dalglish insisted on buying, cost nearly £10 million in cash plus a centre-forward.

As a result, Henderson performed very poorly after he arrived. Dalglish was placed on the right wing for half a season, showing no performance and losing all confidence. So it's quite normal to give up on him. O'Neal will not have any conflict with Niang because of this person.

But he still had to show his presence: "But if Henderson leaves, who are you going to put in the middle of the midfield?" Gerrard is injured, Lucas is injured, Charlie Adam is injured, Liverpool's midfielder is injured Apart from the young Shelvey, it is Henderson.

If Henderson is driven away, will Shelvey be the core midfielder alone? This is obviously impossible.

Niang has already been prepared.

"I plan to introduce midfielders to the team." He handed his list to O'Neal, "What do you think of them?"

O'Neill glanced down, then raised his head again and looked at Niang again. This time there was more appreciation in his eyes.

He has always felt that Liverpool's general manager is a person who messes around just to gain power, and his professional knowledge must not be as good as his head coach.

But after seeing the list, he changed his mind. Because the person Niang wants to buy is also someone he is very interested in... It seems that this person is not as amateur as outsiders say...

The list Niang gave O'Neal included many people he was interested in, ranging from forwards to defenders.

O'Neal glanced at the midfield and recognized Niang's taste and vision.

In the midfield, Niang's candidates to replace Henderson and several other midfielders missing due to injuries are Chahin and Inler.

Sahin is a scheduler like Alonso. He performed very well when playing in Dortmund, otherwise he would not have been spotted by Real Madrid. But after going to Real Madrid, he was sidelined due to injury. He didn't play a few games throughout the season, and his playing time was very little. During this period, there were also rumors that he and Mourinho had conflicts, saying that Mourinho had planned to sell this player. A Turkish boy with no performance.

If Real Madrid really intends to sell, Liverpool wouldn't mind taking over.

The other Yinle could see Niang's vision even more clearly.

Inle is still playing for Udinese, which is not a well-known team in Europe, but Inle's reputation is not that big compared to other players, because he is neither handsome nor has commercial value. Not the kind of headliner who likes to cause trouble.

But there are already many people in the coaching circle who are optimistic about the Swiss midfielder. In the summer of 2008, Arsenal, which lost Flamini, had hoped to get this midfielder, but because the price could not be negotiated, Inler finally stayed at Udinese.

Later, Naples was also interested in him, but in the end they chose the more famous De Jong.

In this way, Inle continued to stay at Udinese.

O'Neill thinks that Niang has good taste, not just because Inle is not very famous, but Niang can take a fancy to him. It's because his proposal to sign Inler was very targeted. It can be seen that he also knows Liverpool very well to be able to make such a suggestion.

Because whether it is Charlie Adam, Lucas, or Henderson, if these three people are accurately positioned, they are not strictly defensive midfielders. They are central midfielders, and the same is true for Gerrard. . They can go up and down, they are very versatile. But omnipotence means not specializing in many aspects.

In terms of defense, the abilities of these people are not very good. After all, they are not people who specialize in this.

Yinler is different. He is a true defensive midfielder who specializes in doing dirty work. He also has the ability to shoot from long range, so he doesn't have anything offensively.

If he can come to the team, it will definitely be a shot in the arm for Liverpool's poor midfield defense. Liverpool frequently conceded goals last season, which is also related to their weak midfield defense.

If I had Inle... I believe we would have conceded a lot less goals.

O'Neill was very tempted by this proposal.

In his opinion, Shaheen did not interest him as much as Yinler.

He asked Niang: "Udinese won't ask for a low price, right?"

Niang smiled: "I won't be taken advantage of." He said it very confidently.

He is Italian and naturally knows Italian clubs very well.

Udinese are definitely not the kind of club that treats Inler as if he is not for sale. And now Inle is not the same as before, and it can still be sold at a high price. Because Udinese did not qualify for the Europa League and Champions League last season, they naturally lacked an effective means of raising prices.

When Arsenal wanted to sell, Udinese offered too high a price, but the purchase failed. Later, Naples asked about the price, but Udinese still offered too high a price, so Naples decisively went to De Jong.

For Pozzo, the president of Udinese Club, no matter how valuable a player is, if he cannot cash out, it will be worthless.

So no matter how high the price Udinese bids for Inler, as long as they can't sell it, it's all in vain. Only when it is converted into money can one's worth be meaningful.

Niang is confident in bringing Inle to Liverpool, he just wants to ask the coach's opinion.

Shaheen or something like that, O'Neal said that if it might be bigger, he could try it. Otherwise, don't worry about it. Anyway, the current team's midfielders are enough. But Yinle must buy it.

Since the head coach is also interested, that's easy.

If the goals are the same, he won't worry about anyone holding him back.

Why would Niang be willing to discuss the possibility of cooperation with O'Neill? Some people would say that if Niang cooperated with Dalglish like this at the beginning, how could the relationship between the two be on the same level?

The actual situation is this. Martin O'Neill is a complete outsider to Liverpool, and he has no foundation at all. Keglish is different. Even if he is not the head coach, he has a huge influence on this team. Whatever he says can have an unknown impact on Liverpool.

This makes it impossible for Niang to cooperate with Dalglish, because Dalglish is the stronger side, and Niang can only succumb to the other side. This is obviously not the result Niang wants.

Now the positions between him and the head coach have been exchanged. Niang, who has been running Liverpool for a season and a half, has become the strong side, while the new head coach O'Neill has become a helpless newcomer. In the process of cooperating with himself, O'Neal must be the weak side, so Niang's opinions will be easier to implement without having to confront the head coach.

The so-called fair cooperation has never existed. One party must become the leader, while the other party becomes a appendage. When Niang and Dalgliesh met, neither one wanted to become the other's vassal, so naturally they fought to the death. In the end, Dalglish was kicked out of the team, and Martin O'Neill took his position very seriously. This made Niang willing to cooperate with him, and the relationship between the two became harmonious.
