After the game, Wen Sheng did not return to Manchester with the team, but accepted Rodgers' invitation to have dinner with him.
Rogers didn't mean to be unconvinced, but he pointed out that Lucas's injury disrupted his plan, and the team's defeat had a lot to do with it, Wen Sheng couldn't refute it, saying that it didn't matter, it was definitely not correct, but Rogers exaggerated Lucas's role, Wen Sheng felt that it was not good, I don't know how good Lucas you can be?!
Having said that, Wen Sheng is a bit arrogant, and Lucas's better season in his previous life was under Rodgers.
It's not good to discuss this issue with Rogers, Wen Sheng admitted it with a smile, eating people with short mouths, eating Rogers' meal, and letting him take advantage of it is nothing.
The dinner narrowed the distance between the two, and Wen Sheng gave Rodgers a very cautious suggestion, "Brandon, you have too few midfielders, you really need to make up for the midfield!" ”
Talking about this topic, Rogers said embarrassedly: "We don't have much money! ”
Wen Sheng still asked stupidly why?!
Brendan Rodgers said in his heart that I am not you, and that Liverpool would be willing to make some investments if you were the manager, but I didn't have that kind of treatment.
John. After Henry took over Liverpool, he spent a lot of money to buy people for Liverpool, but Dalglish wasted his money, he is naturally much more cautious in spending money now, Rodgers does not need to wait and see the after-effects, if he does Henry can increase investment, but you Rogers can't, Henry will not waste his own money.
It's different if you change Wensheng, Henry's trust will be much higher, and he is naturally willing to give Wensheng more money to spend.
This is the gap between coaches, Wen Sheng went to Liverpool to marry, Rodgers went to Liverpool to Gao Pan, how can the treatment be the same?
"Do you have any good advice?! There are so many of you in Manchester City, you can lend me one! Rogers joked.
He didn't mention that Liverpool was preparing to sign Shahin on loan from Real Madrid, Shahin made a name for himself at Dortmund, Real Madrid called out, and the Turkish lad went away with a, and as a result, he became an honorable water cooler caretaker under Mourinho, who would be willing to do this role?!
He had always wanted to leave Real Madrid this summer, and Liverpool saw this opportunity to start, but they had no money and had to talk about a loan.
Wen Sheng shook his head, "Where do I have someone to lend to you!" ..., well, no! Brandon, believe me or not?! ”
He remembered a person, the teenager Casemiro, and suddenly came to the spirit!
This youngster is not even qualified to be a substitute at present, and he originally planned to go out on loan, why not loan to Liverpool, he is afraid that Brenders will not look down on this youngster!
Rogers was stunned, what do you mean.
Wen Sheng smiled mysteriously, "Do you know that I bought a young player from Brazil in the summer?" His name is Casemiro, he's only 20 years old, and it's an investment in my future! Our scouting team watched him for a long time and he was really good! But you also know that our midfield is overcrowded, he's struggling to find space and I was planning to send him out on loan and Malwood are working on it! I can lend him to you if you want! What do you think?! What do you think of this idea?! ”
Rogers frowned and said, "It's not impossible! But I don't know if he's the right team for me! ”
"You have to trust my vision! I've produced a lot of young players, and there aren't many players like him who really make me so excited! Wen Sheng praised Casemiro as much as possible, "You also know that it is not easy to be the head coach of a big team, I need to make results as soon as possible in Manchester City, I don't have time to train him!" But you're different, you need midfield! I can tell you bluntly, if you play in the league with your midfield, I am not optimistic about your prospects! ”
Yes, in order to send Casemiro to Liverpool, Wen Sheng really didn't want to be embarrassed, and he was disrespectful, but he belittled the Liverpool midfielder, how could people be so bad!
Brendan Rodgers is not angry, he himself is about aware of the team's shortcomings, Liverpool's midfield is not bad from the perspective of the main force, but their problem is that the bench is too thin, and there is no midfielder on the bench that Rodgers can look at.
'Casemiro is a Brazilian player, he has a lot of skill at his feet, and he can play as a central midfielder or as a midfielder! He is also relatively adaptable! The only downside is that he doesn't speak English very well! But I guess that's not a problem for you, right?! ”
Rodgers thought for a while and said to Wen Sheng: "Can you let him come to Liverpool for a trial and a trial?!" ”
"No problem!" Wen Sheng said happily.
After dinner, Wensheng called a taxi back to Manchester, where he called Malwood and asked him to ask Casemiro's agent, Julio. Freiser will meet tomorrow to discuss Casemiro's loan.
After making this call, the more Wen Sheng thought about it, the more he felt that the idea of loaning Casemiro to Liverpool was simply fantastic.
Some people say that Casemiro has a better chance of getting training on loan to the weak team, and Casemiro is easier to integrate into the league, but Wen Sheng thought of two people: Gerrard and Lucas, Lucas, as a Brazilian, should be very willing to teach his brother experience, and secondly, Gerrard, a world-class midfielder, is enough for Casemiro to learn!
With their words and deeds, even if Casemiro may not get too many opportunities to play in Liverpool this season, he will definitely learn a lot from his predecessors by setting the right mentality, and next season he can carefully select a team that can allow him to play the main team for a long time.

The match between Manchester City and Liverpool received strong media attention as the highlight of the second round of the league, and the game was reported and commented on by major media outlets the next day.
"Skrtel is in good hands!" The Liverpool Echo wrote: "Liverpool could have secured a draw, but Skrtel made an undeserved mistake that allowed Liverpool to lose at home to Manchester City for the first time since 2003! ”
"Both sides played a good half of the game! The difference is that Liverpool failed to take advantage of their chances, while Manchester City seized them! Throughout the game, Manchester City showed strong control, and Dzeko was in charge of Daniel. Won a rebirth under Wen's tactical system! This Manchester City team is worth looking forward to! The Telegraph commented.
"In the contest between the two young marshals, Daniel. Wen is even better, in the first half Manchester City occupied the initiative on the field in the second half, but the offensive means are single, Wen made timely adjustments in the midfield, Manchester City was able to regain life in the second half, the attack is very threatening, if it were not for the help of the goalpost and Reina's brave play, they could even score 5 goals in the second half, this game not only showed the superhuman strength of Manchester City, but also showed Wen's excellent on-the-spot adjustment ability! We have every reason to believe that Manchester City are the favourites to win the new season! The Times summed up in a commentary.
"Manchester City's overall strength is above Liverpool, but they also exposed the weakness of the set-piece defense in this game, in the first half they made mistakes in the corner defense, and in the second half they were quite problematic in the wall arrangement, Suarez's goal is beautiful, but it also has a lot to do with Manchester City's wall misalignment!" The Guardian pointed to City's set-piece problem in its commentary.
