Volume 1: Males Come and Go, People Pay Attention. Chapter 9 I Am Really Not Poaching... (Third Update, Please Vote for Me!)
When Niang came to China this time, in addition to attending the signing ceremony with Nike, he also wanted to meet Chen Yingxiong and ask him for a favor.
"Hero, help me ask Sanchez if he is willing to come and play for Liverpool."
Chen Yingxiong was stunned for a moment when he heard Niang's words.
"You want to poach Sanchez?"
Niang nodded and said with a smile: "Isn't this all for you?"
Of course Chen Yingxiong hopes that Sanchez will come to Liverpool to partner with him, but isn't it a bit unkind to let him poach Naples?
When he was at Zenit St. Petersburg, he wanted to poach Arshavin, the absolute core of the team, but he never considered whether it was unkind to poach his former club. From this, it can be seen that Chen Yingxiong has made progress and is not as good as before. Heartless.
Another important reason is that at Zenit St. Petersburg, he has a good relationship with the team and not a good relationship with the management, so the psychological burden on him to recruit Arshavin is not that big. But Naples is different. This club has a very good relationship with him from the management to the players.
He was somewhat apprehensive.
Niang obviously knew what Chen Yingxiong was thinking.
He comforted: "You just help us find out what Sanchez is saying. If he doesn't want to come, then we won't bother. If he is willing to come... then he wants to come on his own and it has nothing to do with you, so you don't have to worry about anything. Other ideas. Besides, even if the player wants to come, if the club doesn’t let him go, there’s nothing we can do about it, right? If the club is willing to let him go, it means that Naples itself is not opposed to letting Sanchez go... Naples is not opposed to it. Yeah, what are you thinking about here?"
Chen Yingxiong thought the same thing.
He is just a messenger, but he cannot play a decisive role. If Napoli thinks Sanchez is very important and refuses to let him go, Sanchez will naturally stay in the team. If Naples is willing to talk to Liverpool, it is because Naples intends to sell Sanchez, which has nothing to do with itself.
"Okay, I'll give him a call." Chen Yingxiong nodded and agreed.

Alexis Sanchez was pleasantly surprised when he received a call from Chen Yingxiong. "Hero! You finally remembered me!"
Chen Yingxiong rolled his eyes: "You are not a beauty. What do I want from you when I have nothing to do all day?"
Sanchez's hearty laughter came from the other side of the phone.
Chen Yingxiong had prepared a plan before making the call. He thought it would be too direct to directly ask Sanchez if he would like to come to Liverpool. It didn't feel like a call from a friend. It was a bit too purposeful and might make Sanchez have other ideas.
Let's ramble a bit first, ask him about his current situation, ask him how he is doing in Naples... and then get back to the main topic.
So after the greetings, Chen Yingxiong first asked about Sanchez's holiday life. Of course, they had something to talk about, because Chen Yingxiong spent this vacation in Sanchez's home country of Chile.
As soon as Sanchez heard that Chen Yingxiong didn't even come to see him when he arrived in Chile, he immediately quit his job and shouted that Chen Yingxiong would treat him. He also told Chen Yingxiong that if he travels to Chile next time, he must inform him so that he can be their tour guide without paying a penny and ensure that they have a good time.
After talking about this for a long time, Chen Yingxiong came to the topic.
"Well, Alex. How are you doing in Naples?"
"It's good, but this season we failed to eliminate Chelsea and enter the Champions League quarter-finals, which is a bit regretful. We originally had a chance. We beat them 3:1 at home, but we didn't expect that they scored 1:4 away... …well!"
When talking about this, Sanchez could not hide his disappointment.
"So... do you want to come and play for Liverpool?"
There was no sound on the other end of the phone for a while.
Chen Yingxiong didn't know what Sanchez was thinking. Was he stunned or angry?
While he was thinking wildly, Sanchez's voice sounded again, with a slight stutter: "Lee, Liverpool?"
"Yes……"
"Want to play football with you, hero?"
"ah……"
"I want to come!"
This sentence shocked Chen Yingxiong - Hey, I'm just testing your tone. You should be more reserved, right?
"Well, I just asked casually..."
"You know, hero. Although Cavani is great, I still think it's interesting to play with you. It's exciting!" Sanchez didn't care about Chen Yingxiong's explanation, he spoke enthusiastically. "Actually, it's not just me, many people are missing you! Without you, the Eat, Drink and Play band is always missing something. Antonio is saying that without you to play pranks with him, there will be a lot less fun..."
Chen Yingxiong held the phone and couldn't find a suitable opportunity to interrupt. He thought to himself, when did Sanchez become as talkative as Hamsik?
After finally hanging up the phone with Sanchez, Chen Yingxiong told Niang the result.
"He seems very interested in coming to play for Liverpool..."
Niang smiled.
Seeing Niang's smile, Chen Yingxiong felt a little depressed. He didn't expect Sanchez to be so urgent. From this point of view, if Sanchez finally came to Liverpool, he would be poaching Naples in disguise.
Niang Natural Way Chen Yingxiong was depressed about something. He patted Chen Yingxiong on the shoulder: "This only shows that Sanchez hopes to come to Liverpool. It has nothing to do with you, hero. Even if we ask him on behalf of someone else, he will still do the same." eager……"
Yes, even if Niang asks him himself, as long as he carries Chen Yingxiong out, Sanchez will still be so interested when he hears that he can cooperate with Chen Yingxiong...
Since the player is interested, that's fine. He can go negotiate with Naples. And he believes that as long as he emphasizes the players' wishes, Naples will eventually succumb.
De Laurentiis has said before that Napoli will not sell players to make money.
At that time, Chen Yingxiong, Arshavin, Cassano, and Hamsik were considered the team's magic square. These four players were absolutely not for sale. As a result, Chen Yingxiong went to Liverpool, and now De Laurentiis has repeatedly stated in public that as long as someone can offer 40 million euros, Hamsik can be taken away.
Sanchez's role in the team is not as great as Hamsik's, nor is it as important as Arshavin and Cassano. In the season when the team won the Champions League, Sanchez was not the absolute main player. More often than not, he is a rotation player, playing as a substitute for Arshavin.
So Niang is confident in bringing Sanchez to Liverpool from Naples.
The only question is how much it will cost - he wants to pay as little as possible, and Naples will definitely not sell Sanchez at a bargain price, even though he is not the absolute main force of the team.
Finally, he said to Chen Yingxiong: "I believe you also really hope to see your old teammates in Liverpool, right?"
He was right. On the one hand, Chen Yingxiong felt guilty that he might poach his old club. On the other hand, he was full of expectations for Sanchez's possible transfer to Liverpool. He was very conflicted.

Niang's transfer activities are in full swing. First, he focuses on Udinese's Inle.
Just as he guessed, Udinese was very interested in the fact that someone wanted to buy Inle. They did not pretend to say that Inle was not for sale-this sentence could only lie to ghosts.
Inler himself also hopes to transfer to Liverpool. Although Liverpool's reputation is no longer what it used to be, it is still a wealthy team. The so-called skinny camel is bigger than a horse, which is still attractive to many players. What's more, this team has Chen Yingxiong. As a player who plays in Serie A, especially a defensive player, Yinle knows a lot about Chen Yingxiong. Russia was just an ordinary newly promoted team, but because of Chen Yingxiong, they stepped up a level every year and finally became the king of Europe.
Liverpool now also has Chen Yingxiong, why can't they follow the path of Naples?
Yinle is very confident in his former opponents. I have to say that this has verified the old saying - "The person who knows you best is your enemy."
At the moment, when even Liverpool's own fans may not have confidence in the team's prospects, Inler has confidence in Liverpool. It is really interesting.
The players themselves have taken care of it, and the only remaining question is price. No one's money falls from the sky. Of course, Niang keeps the transfer fee as low as possible and buys the best players at the lowest price. The higher the price/performance ratio, the better. Naturally, Udinese hopes to sell Inler at a good price. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a disgrace to our Udinese reputation? Let others think that we, Udinese, are easy to kill!
Negotiations between the club and Udinese are still ongoing.
However, many media have learned that Inler is valued by Liverpool, and the two sides have officially begun transfer negotiations. Inler himself also expressed his desire to go to Liverpool, so the media analyzed that the transfer should not be delayed for long, and the decision will be made soon.
Transfer activities are not about negotiating one person and then moving on to the next person. In that case, the two-month transfer window will definitely not be enough.
While negotiating with Inle, Niang found the Naples club.
When Bigon, the general manager of Naples Club, heard that it was Niang from Liverpool, his heart trembled, thinking that this person would definitely be up to no good!
He was really right, Niang came to buy their wide player Sanchez.
Even if Sanchez is still a rotation player and not an absolute main force, Naples cannot give up. So Bigon refused without even thinking about it.
Arshavin's age is declining, and Sanchez is an important player to replace Arshavin in the future. Although he is not the absolute main force now, he will be the main force in a short time...
So, how could he let Sanchez go?
Besides, you, Liverpool, have poached one of our absolute core players, Chen Yingxiong. Isn’t that enough? We really think that we, Naples, are the echelon of your Liverpool team!
