Chapter 483: Meeting with Rogers

Zhang Yuan's transfer of such a big thing has something to do with a lot, but what is quite strange is that this matter really has nothing to do with Rogers, Rodgers is reluctant to Suarez's departure, Suarez is more convenient for him to use. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Everyone knows that the role of the Premier League manager can be described as a high authority, but now with the development of the times, in fact, it is rare for the Premier League to have the transfer rights controlled by the manager as before.

After Brendan Rodgers came to Liverpool, he did not have much say in the transfer market, but there was always the right to suggest. Al said that as for whether he can be in place or not, it is not up to him to influence, maybe he can privately persuade a player to play, but he cannot have the final say.

After Qian Huan came to power, Rodgers' position was weakened, there is only one reason why Qian Huan is not satisfied with Rodgers, whether he wants to be famous or not, if he is not capable, why does Qian Huan look at it like this, Liverpool won the second place in the league last season was actually an accident, Suarez's unprecedented outbreak is the key to Liverpool's promotion to the championship, without Suarez Liverpool may not be as good as the Dalglish period.

Qian Huan wants a famous coach, preferably a famous coach with personality, Mourinho has a personality, but Qian Huan doesn't want him, Liverpool wants to play beautiful football.

Brendan Rodgers finished second last season, and there is no way that this position cannot be changed, and it has to continue.

This is the current situation of Liverpool, the parties may not know or pretend to be confused, who knows, anyway, Rodgers is still in the Liverpool position.

When Rodgers was asked about Zhang Yuan's transfer, Rodgers still said a word of welcome.

'I certainly hope it's true and if he does come, it's definitely a good addition to the team! I hope I have a great time working with him! ”

But in private, he never called Zhang Yuan, and Zhang Yuan never took the initiative to contact him, thinking about this relationship is really embarrassing.

The day after Zhang Yuan arrived in Chicago, the whole Liverpool team came to Chicago, and Zhang Yuan finally met Rodgers.

At the hotel where the team stayed, Zhang Yuan was led to Rodgers' room under the leadership of assistant coach Marsch, who had also played for Liverpool before, had made more than 100 appearances for Liverpool, and had worked in the team before Rodgers, who promoted Marsh to the first team as a right-hand man after Rodgers' arrival.

There were not only Rodgers but also other members of the first team in the room, Zhang Yuan looked at Rodgers carefully, in fact, this was the first time he had seen Rodgers himself.

Rogers has short hair, a slightly high forehead, a red face, and a somewhat large nose, he is tall and looks strong.

A pair of hands stretched out to Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan also reached over, and everyone shook it a little and put it down tacitly.

Rogers had a smile on his face, "Zhang, welcome to our team!" I'm sorry I couldn't attend the show! ”

As Rodgers, he is very dissatisfied with such a meeting with the players, not that he can't, but Liverpool is too grand, what is this?! This is not the place to put on a show.

"Hello! Mr. Rogers! It's been a pleasure working under you and we hope we have a great time working together! Zhang Yuan also said with a professional smile.

Rodgers doesn't care, the problem of Zhang Yuan not being able to go up is not his problem, but the problem of the top, Zhang Yuan must be on it, unless he Rodgers doesn't want to be Liverpool's manager!

Therefore, the most important communication between Rodgers and Zhang Yuan now is to know what position Zhang Yuan wants to play and what he thinks about his tactical thinking.

After shaking hands with several other coaches, everyone quickly sat down to get down to business, time is more urgent for Rodgers and Zhang Yuan, it is almost August, and the opening game of the Premier League will start in the middle of the year, which means that Zhang Yuan has only more than half a month to integrate into the team, and on the other hand, Rodgers wants to integrate Zhang Yuan into his tactical system It is only more than half a month.

Once this time passes, the Liverpool senior management will not care how effective you are, as long as Zhang Yuan is not sick or painful, you Rodgers will have to use him in the opening game, every coach hates high-level interference in his own field, but this football high-level interference in the head coach's employment is too much.

Let's just say that Mourinho was forced to use Shevchenko at the beginning, and he also wanted to use Ronaldo in Real Madrid.

Rogers is a smart guy and won't go up against the top in this regard.

Therefore, now everyone is very pressed for time, and the first hasty meeting is to get to the point, which is very practical and common, and Zhang Yuan has no surprises.

Rogers was born in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. He retired early in an uneventful career, playing in the Reading reserve squad at the age of 18 and retiring at the age of 20 due to a hereditary knee problem, and in the years that followed, Rodgers "played wildball" in the lower leagues and did not make a single league appearance at Reading.

He started his coaching career at the Academy in Reading, he is a very good coach, unlike many English coaches, he likes Spanish football and Dutch football, and he admires the technical flow of play, and he also had the privilege of working with Mourinho for 3 years, which was Mourinho's first time in charge of Chelsea, for this experience he is very grateful to Mourinho, thinking that studying with Mourinho is like studying at Harvard University.

After leading Watford to great success, Brendan Rodgers was favored by his former club, but his season at Reading was rather unsuccessful for him, and he was sacked midway through.

Then the following season he took over Swansea and led Swansea to a successful promotion to the Premier League that season, and Rodgers began to show himself in the Premier League, leading Swansea to 11th place in the league in the 11-12 season, and even won the League Cup and got the opportunity to participate in European competitions.

By this time, Rodgers had already made a splash, and then everyone knows that he came to Liverpool to replace Dalglish.

Because Rodgers admires the Spanish style of football, he is more obsessed with possession and attacks from the ground.

He did the same at Reading, but failed, Reading is a well-known tough guy team in English clubs, typical of English style of play, a bunch of rough guys in the midfield, how could he realize his dream of possession, of course, he also had a blue nose and swollen face there.

Since arriving at Swansea, Rodgers has been much smarter, gradually transforming themselves into the third-highest average possession per game in the Premier League that season after leaving Swansea.

That's why Liverpool were bullish on him, and then came to Liverpool, but the situation here is different from Swansea, there are no players for him here, Liverpool used 442 or 4411 in the Dalglish era.

Later, with the arrival of Philippe Coutinho and Sturridge, Rodgers gradually changed his thinking and built a tactical system around the super individual ability of Uruguayan Suarez to surround and quickly counterattack.

Therefore, many people in the outside world say that Rodgers won the second place in the league because of Suarez, and it is not a lie that Liverpool's attack points are almost all pressed on Suarez and Sturridge, and the scoring points are very uneven, all counting on the forwards.

Like Juventus, the attack does not rely solely on Zhang Yuan, Tevez scored 20 goals last season, Llorente also scored 15 goals in a limited time, but midfielder Vidal also scored more than 10 goals, Pirlo also scored 6 goals, Marchisio and Pogba both scored more than 5 goals, and Juventus' defenders also had it.

"Rogers, I want to ask you, what kind of role do you think I'm suitable for?!" Zhang Yuan asked after listening to Rogers' careful explanation.

"I want you to play as a central striker, I'm playing as a double striker, you've been playing as a central striker at Juventus, I think we can try it first!" Rogers replied.

Zhang Yuan nodded and said that there was no problem, but before that, the most important thing for him was not the role of the center forward, Zhang Yuan also needed to observe his teammates carefully to see what he could do as a striker in Rodgers' lineup, and if he had ideas, he could mention them later.

Rodgers was very satisfied with Zhang Yuan's nodding and agreement without hesitation, of course he was afraid that Liverpool would not send him a player but a father, if it was a father, then it would be miserable!
