Chapter 101: They all want to be Jiang's teammates

To Klopp's surprise, a day later he received good news from the transfer team, with Lallana's personal attitude loosening and improving, with the England international expressing interest and desire to play for Liverpool, with the player's personal obstacles largely gone.

This surprised Klopp, who didn't know what had caused such a noticeable change in the player's personal attitude.

Soon, the news from Lallana's agent made the Liverpool side understand the truth of the matter.

"Lallana and Lovren and Henderson on the phone." Michael. Edwards said to Klopp.

Lovren was Lallana's team-mate at Southampton and Henderson was an England international and Lallana's team-mate in the England national team.

"Looks like we're going to thank Lovren and Henderson." Jurgen Klopp smiled happily, it must have been the persuasion of the likes of Lovren and Henderson that made Lallana change his attitude and become close to Liverpool again.

"Nope." Edwards smiled inexplicably, "It's Jiang!" We want to thank Jiang. ”

Subsequently, Edwards' narration made Klopp almost confused.

Jiang Chenxi happened to be next to Lallana and Lovren on the phone, and the Chinese star extended an invitation directly to the Southampton star.

A few hours later, Lallana and Henderson had a video call, Jiang Chenxi happened to come to Henderson to play live football, and then Lallana saw the face of the Chinese star who suddenly appeared, he greeted him, joking that it was really fate, 'Since it is so fateful, let's come to Liverpool.' ’

And then...... Lallana nodded like that.

Klopp was stunned, he didn't expect there to be such a story behind this.

Of course, Klopp knows that the fundamental reason for the change of Lalana's attitude is not the 'ubiquitous Jiang Chenxi' and Lallana's 'fate', but because of Jiang Chenxi's own status and energy that has begun to be reflected in the football world.

It seems that there are many players who want to transfer to Real Madrid, want to go to Barcelona, want to be Ronaldo's teammate, and become Messi's teammate, there will be more and more players who are also eager to become Jiang Chenxi's teammate!

……

Three days later, Liverpool beat Ludogorets 1-0 away in the fifth round of the Champions League group stage.

Coutinho's goal in the sixth minute of the game was the only goal of the game, Jiang Chenxi finally stopped his crazy goal in the Champions League, which made many people breathe a sigh of relief, it was really his shooting state was too hot, scoring 10 goals in four group games, this state of fire is terrifying.

In the other game, Real Madrid also won 1-0 away at Basel.

However, Real Madrid's victory did not prevent Liverpool from taking top spot in the group stage one round earlier:

With one round left in the group stage, Liverpool are three points ahead of Real Madrid, and because of their superior record against Real Madrid, Liverpool won the top spot in this group one round earlier.

This is good news for Liverpool, as it means they are able to avoid the top spot from the other groups in the first round of the knockout round.

Liverpool's win away at Ludogorets was not a surprise, with the Reds showing their quality in the Champions League, Real Madrid could only sigh 1-1 at the Bernabeu, and Ludogorets will have a predictable difficulty in stopping Liverpool.

……

The focus of this game after the game is Liverpool's Italian goalscorer Balotelli, in the full game more than 70 minutes, there was a laughable scene on the bench, Liverpool assistant coach Kravitz walked to the bench to inform Balotelli to get up to warm up, and then, I don't know if it was a problem with the training vest or his own problem, Balotelli struggled a lot and couldn't put on the warm-up training vest.

I saw that he put the collar of the vest behind his neck, no matter what, there was no way to put his arms into the sleeve, after several twists and turns, Balotelli jumped in a hurry, and finally Kravitz, who still couldn't stand it, stepped forward, and with the help of Kolo Toure on the bench, he finally helped Balotelli put on the training vest.

The commentators who saw this scene were a little speechless, how familiar this scene was.

When Balotelli was still in Manchester City, during the pre-match warm-up of the Champions League between Manchester City and Dynamo Kiev, a similar scene also happened, Balotelli couldn't wear a training vest, of course, the final result was better than the last time, that time Balotelli finally ripped off the vest with a roar and threw it to the assistant coach, swearing in his mouth, almost causing a conflict with the coach.

Xu is because this time he finally 'succeeded' in wearing a training vest, Balotelli's mood is not bad, and his performance after coming on the bench is good, although he did not score, but he is more active in the front court, and the cooperation between him and Jiang Chenxi is also good, if it is not a little less lucky, Balotelli should have a chance to score a goal.

This also made Klopp on the sidelines quite satisfied with Balotelli, after all, he brought in Balotelli to enrich the team's attacking strength, not to buy a comic to come back to perform.

Otherwise, he will not only have to worry about the team's recruitment in the midfield during the winter break, but also have to consider the replenishment and cleaning of the forward line.

……

Yes, Liverpool and Southampton are at an impasse in talks over Lallana's signings.

Although Lallana personally agreed to come to Liverpool, Southampton refused to let him go.

Southampton are adamant that Liverpool's real aim in poaching Lallana is to weaken Southampton's strength in order to weaken Southampton's threat to Liverpool in the league race.

Klopp almost vomited blood, he couldn't understand why Southampton felt so good about themselves, yes, Southampton are now only one point behind Liverpool and third in the league, but do they really think that this team can continue to perform so well in the long league season that follows, and maintain the pressing threat of Liverpool and Chelsea?

In the first half of the league, dark horses like Southampton are not uncommon, but basically the same pattern, in the league two-thirds of the time, such dark horse teams will slip from the standings, the lack of squad depth and the other opponents in the league are familiar with them and deal with them is the biggest factor restricting them to continue to be black.

Klopp was angry at Southampton's attitude.

Liverpool can only immediately speed up negotiations with PSV Eindhoven over Dutch international Wijnaldum.

In addition, on the pitch, Jiang Chenxi and his teammates launched a battle to 'make Southampton realize the cruelty of reality'.

Southampton's threat to Liverpool?

Inexistent!

PS: Brothers, the cold is getting better, but the headache still has an effect, and the code word is slow. I'm sorry for the late update.
