Chapter 838: The So-Called Loyalty
Liverpool's board of directors have been meeting for a long time without making a final decision, and while most are in favour of selling Steven Gerrard for a world-record transfer price, no one wants to face the wrath of Reds fans. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
There is a lot of hype from the outside world, and everyone is happy to see a new transfer fee record born, but Liverpool has not stood up for a long time to make a public statement, hanging the appetite of countless people.
The first time, the Reds quickly stated that Gerrard would not transfer, and now, Notts County has reported this record value, I am afraid Liverpool will not be able to refuse, perhaps the current silence is just their reserve.
Steven Gerrard has been on holiday since the World Cup, but he has been caught off guard by the fact that he has become the most high-profile focus in the transfer market.
His agent is always pushing for his transfer to Notts County, maybe for himself, he can get more trophies in Notts County to make up for his regret of not having championship honors, but how can he, a diehard of the Reds, leave Liverpool!
Gerrard was also shocked by Notts County's £5,500w bid, but shock was shock, his loyalty was priceless, even if he would earn more from his transfer to Notts County than at Liverpool, it would not impress him in the slightest.
However, he sensed something strange from the silence of the club, and he was afraid that in the face of interests, his soul of the Red Army would no longer be for sale.
In a bad mood, Gerrard terminated his holiday and returned to England, hoping that the incident would be resolved quickly.
However, no sooner had he returned to England than Gerrard could report to the club before his agent told him a piece of news that had left him in the air.
The Board of Directors has agreed to Notts County's offer to allow Notts County to negotiate an individual contract with itself.
It was like a thunderbolt that Gerrard felt deeply hurt, and he had betrayed himself for the pound sterling, which he regarded as his life, as a club of faith.
At that moment, it was like the end of the world.
Around his residence, a lot of Liverpool fans gather every day to try to keep themselves, but they don't really know that they don't want to go.
Perhaps the outside world did not know that Liverpool had agreed to an offer from Notts County, all in secret, or perhaps the club could not wait to exchange themselves for a lot of pounds.
Gerrard's agent is undoubtedly the happiest, and if Gerrard does manage to make a move to Notts County, then he will receive a large commission, which will be far more than the share he has received from Gerrard over the years.
Gerard had insomnia, and he thought a lot about it one night, and when he came out of the house in the morning, his face was much haggard, and his sparse beard and bloodshot eyes showed his decadence, but if you could look closely into his eyes, you could see a determination in his eyes.
"I'm an avid Liverpool fan, I will be until the day I die, maybe one day in the future, my strength will not be able to establish myself in the team, I will choose to leave Anfield to continue my career, but this does not mean a betrayal, at least I will not leave Liverpool now, I will spend my life to pursue glory for Liverpool!"
At the door of the house, there are countless reporters squatting on the door, everyone hopes to get first-hand information from this superstar who has been pushed into the storm, but they did not expect that Gerrard, who had never been interviewed at the door of the house before, would take the initiative to speak out this time.
This first-hand news is naturally worth their excitement, however, this kind of abnormality makes them keenly aware of something, which is definitely not so simple, and there must be a deeper meaning under this remark.
When David got feedback from Liverpool, he really couldn't tell whether he was excited or disappointed, the sky-high price of 5500w pounds was nothing to him, even if he set a new world record for transfer fees and caused an earthquake in football, it was just an ordinary transaction, and it would not make him have any psychological fluctuations at all.
In fact, he doesn't know whether he wants Gerrard to join Notts County, in terms of improving the strength of the team, Gerrard can indeed bring more changes to Notts County's overall tactics, but even if Gerrard joins Notts County, he is definitely not willing, his heart will always be concerned about the Reds.
Once David took Messi away from Barcelona, and then it took a few years to make Messi develop feelings for Notts County, David felt very tired, he was not willing to waste time to reform other people's loyalty, and there was no need.
Professional players can be divided into two kinds, one is simply football as a profession, and even he himself may not like football, and naturally there is no so-called loyalty, while the other kind of player is unswervingly in love with his team, from life to death, even if he is wronged, even if his interests are damaged, he can't change his heart.
Obviously, Steven Gerrard is the latter, a truly admirable professional footballer.
David felt that he was too cruel to Gerrard to take the money to smash Liverpool, and even if Gerrard played in Notts County, he would be unhappy.
In fact, Gerrard is a superstar, Notts County is definitely not the first suitor, and last summer, Liverpool and Chelsea staged a big drama with Gerrard as the protagonist, but Gerrard ended up staying at Anfield, the place he loved.
Now it's Notts County's turn, in this era when capital is king, Notts County seems to have succeeded, but is it really successful?
Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, David didn't want to dominate this transfer anymore, he felt like an executioner who cut off other people's dreams.
Giving Soriano the authority to negotiate a personal contract with Gerrard and his agent, he doesn't want to be involved anymore, and maybe next season Notts County fans will be able to see Gerrard in action at the Magpies, but at Anfield, it must be full of grief.
Let Soriano operate Gerrard's transfer, David is busy preparing for the team's pre-season warm-up match-related matters, due to the summer World Cup, Notts County only has a month of pre-season training and preparation time, maybe this time is just right for physical reserves, but it is not enough to practice skills and tactics, and the warm-up game is naturally very important.
Last season's Trent Cup was well received by participating clubs due to its high gold content and suitable arrangement, so this cup competition has naturally continued, but this time, David plans to expand the scale a little in order to better achieve the pre-season warm-up effect.
