"It's coming!"

A sharp-eyed reporter shouted.

A silver-gray Bentley car drove slowly, everyone knows this license plate, and this car is a customized model specially created by Bentley Motors for Jiang Chenxi, the only one in the world.

Jiang Chenxi got down from the cab, and the reporters couldn't wait to come over, when they saw Salah, Lallana, Lovren and Sane coming down from the co-pilot and back seats respectively.

Salah is Jiang Chenxi's good friend, this is known to everyone, Lovren and Lallana are well-known supporters of Jiang Chenxi, it is not too strange for these three people to appear together with Jiang Chenxi, but Sane, the young German player, seems to have a good relationship with Jiang Chenxi, and seems to have begun to integrate into Jiang Chenxi's circle.

This also made some German reporters on the scene very happy for Sane, everyone knows Jiang Chenxi's status and importance in Liverpool, and being able to become Jiang Chenxi's friend will be of great help to Sane to gain a foothold in Liverpool.

There was no training on the first day of the training camp, and the main job of the team was to check the health of each player.

First of all, everyone lined up to have blood drawn, to check whether the player's kidneys, liver function, bones, etc. were healthy, and to check whether he had hepatitis, AIDS and other infectious diseases.

This is not a joke, there is a player in the League Two team who got hepatitis for some reason during the holiday and infected several teammates, this is because the UK is a separate meal system, if East Asian countries such as China use chopsticks to eat together, the infection will be even worse.

There are also heart tests, such as echocardiography, exercise stress tests, and so on.

……

In addition, for new players, as well as players who have potential safety hazards according to the team doctor's follow-up report, MRI should also be performed, mainly to detect the player's two ankles, knees, pelvis, and lumbar spine.

Also, the muscles of the players are also important things to check.

In addition, the head coach is most concerned about the weight of the players, and those who overindulge themselves too much and overeat during the holidays will be the focus of Klopp.

During the weight screening, three unlucky eggs were caught.

Philippe Coutinho and goalkeeper Mignolet and full-back Alberto. Moreno was overweight, and what they received was a weight-loss workout program that the coaching staff immediately tailored for them.

Among all the players, the best results of the physical examination are Jiang Chenxi and Milner, Jiang Chenxi's physical condition is good, everyone is not surprised, Jiang Chenxi also insists on exercising during the holidays, and it has long been reported in the media that the new recruit Milner's physical condition is so good, which is indeed surprising to everyone.

"James has already made a really good first impression on the coach." Gerrard, who had come from the youth team to say hello to everyone, whispered to his former teammate Skrtel.

He saw Klopp look at Milner much softer than anyone else.

……

The Liverpool squad only spent three or four days at the Melwood training base before heading to the Evian-les-Bains training ground in France for the new season.

Evian-les-Bains is world-famous for its mineral waters, a town that looks south of the Alps and north of Lake Geneva on the Swiss border, and when Liverpool arrived in Evian-les-Bains, Lyon from Ligue 1 and Mainz from Bundesliga had already started training here.

The town is also close to Geneva Airport, where the Liverpool team took a flight from Liverpool Lennon Airport to Geneva Airport and then took a bus to the town of Evian-les-Bains.

Here, Liverpool will play warm-up matches against local regional league teams FJK, Ligue 1 side Lyon, Bundesliga side Mainz and Serie A side Sassuolo, who will arrive here later.

They will then travel to the United States to play the International Champions Cup against Borussia Dortmund, Manchester City and Manchester United.

While the Liverpool squad was training and playing in Evian-les-Bains, new players arrived in the town from time to time, and some people packed up and left.

27-year-old Hungarian goalkeeper Adam. Bogdan was the first player to come to Evian-les-Bains, the Hungarian goalkeeper who joined Liverpool on a free transfer from Bolton, and in doing so, Liverpool now have Belgian goalkeeper Mignolet, German goalkeeper Karius and new Hungarian goalkeeper Adam. Bogdan, one, two, and three are all ready, and the adjustment of the goalkeeper position has also come to an end.

……

After completing the recruitment and purge in the goalkeeper position, Klopp began to set his sights on the team's backline.

In the central defender position, Liverpool's main central defender configuration last season was a combination of Croatian defender Lovren and veteran Skrtel, Klopp was quite satisfied with Skrtel's performance, and at the end of the season, the club and the old Slovak defender completed a contract extension, extending the contract that expired in 2016 to 2017.

In addition to Lovren and Skrtel, the team also has 25-year-old French defender Mamadou. Nicolas Sarco and veteran Collo. Toure.

The 34-year-old Ivory Coast centre-back Toure has been on a free transfer for two years since 2013 and has just signed a one-year contract extension for 2016 this summer. Reasons why Toure renewed his contract for another year.

It stands to reason that with Lovren, Skrtel, Mamadou. Sacco and Collo. Of Toure's four defenders, Liverpool is qualified in the central defender position, but now something is wrong:

Mamadou. Sako was unhappy with his position in the team and his playing time, and he demanded a commitment to a regular position.

This is obviously something that Jurgen Klopp will not agree to, the team has a mature combination of centre-backs who will not make big moves easily, and in the second half of last season, when Lovren and Skrtel were injured, Sako's performance after coming up did not please Klopp.

In addition, Klopp is strict in governing the army, and his players, the first thing to do is to be obedient, and players who like to complain and make demands, Klopp will not want.

Therefore, after Sako made a showdown with the club through his agent, asking for the main position, otherwise he would consider the willingness to transfer and leave, Klopp immediately responded: sell the French defender!

……

The purge of Sacco proceeded rapidly, and after learning that the club had issued an eviction order, Sako was very disappointed and resentful, but he was also very knowledgeable and began to contact the new owner.

On July 16, Liverpool played a warm-up match with the local regional league team FJK in Evian-les-Bains, and Liverpool defeated the opponent 11-1, Jiang Chenxi only played 45 minutes and scored four goals.

Mamadou. Sako did not play in this game, and he packed his bags and left Evian-les-Bains on the day of the match.

Two days later, Liverpool's official website announced that the team's 25-year-old French defender Mamadou. Sako has joined Premier League side Crystal Palace for a fee of £26 million.

Two years ago, when Liverpool brought in Sako, the transfer fee was about 13.5 million pounds, and Liverpool made a fortune.

Liverpool media and fans for Mamadou. Sacco's departure was accompanied by a certain amount of worry, after all, Mamadou. Sako is also a good defender, and now, with Sako's transfer away, Liverpool only have three central defenders, which is absolutely unable to cope with a long season, and Liverpool must bring in a replacement.

The media in England began to offer advice on Liverpool's signings, and there was a long list of them in the media.

However, before the media could be hotly discussed, the journalists who were 'stationed' in the small town of Evian-les-Bains saw Liverpool's new signing at centre-back.

"Who is this kid?"

Looking at this black man who came to Evian-les-Bains with a backpack and a suitcase, the media reporters were a little confused, they really didn't recognize who this black kid was for the first time?

……

"Captain, I, I'm Joe. Gomez. Looking at the captain Henderson and the team's deputy Jiang Chenxi, who came to greet him, Joe. Gomez swallowed and said nervously.

On the first day of training, Klopp officially appointed the captain of the team for the new season, Henderson is the captain, Jiang Chenxi is the vice-captain, Skrtel is the third captain, and Coutinho is the fourth captain.

Captain Jordan Henderson and vice-captain Jiang Chenxi came to welcome their new teammates, which has become Liverpool's current welcome procedure.

If it was just captain Henderson who came to greet him, maybe the surprise and nervousness caused would not be so great, but Jiang Chenxi is different, he is not only a superstar in the eyes of many fans now, but also a transcendent existence in the eyes of his peers, especially many young players are very admiring Jiang Chenxi. Gomez is no exception.

"Don't be nervous, now our teammates, boy!" Henderson and Joe. Gomez shook hands and said.

"Welcome, Joe." Jiang Chenxi patted Qiao. Gomez's shoulder, "Can I call you Joe?" ”

"Of course, of course!" Joe. Gomez said happily.

……

At this point, the surprised reporters finally got their hands on the Liverpool signing, the London-born 18-year-old Gomes, who started his academy at Charlton Athletic and played 21 games in the Championship in 2014/15, playing both centre-back and full-back, making him a good rookie in the Championship.

Journalists have also seen the official announcement from Liverpool FC, which paid £3.5 million for the 18-year-old defender from London.

Sold 25-year-old French defender Mamadou for £26 million. Sako, however, spent a measly £3.5 million to bring in an 18-year-old young defender, even though the player had only played in the Championship for a season!

Liverpool's entry and exit in the defender position has caused heated discussions among the media and fans, and more precisely, it has caused a lot of doubts.

In fact, Liverpool brought in Joe. Gomez had been planning for a long time, and after a good season of performances by Championship side Charlton, eighteen-year-old Joe Athletic. Gomez caught the attention of Liverpool scouts, and the transfer deal had been negotiated before, but the departure of Sarco accelerated Joe. Gomez's introduction is just that.

……

Liverpool fans also don't quite understand the team's deal, and many Liverpool fans prefer to believe that the team brought in Joe. Gomez is an investment in the future, and Liverpool will also bring in reinforcements at centre-back, at least a quality player.

'I think we need to bring in a centre-back and Gomez is too young. Kravitz said.

Within the coaching staff, there is also a tendency to think that Joe. Gomez is an investment in the future and the young centre-back cannot be expected to help the team much at this stage, with Kravitz being one of them, suggesting that Jurgen Klopp bring in another centre-back.

Klopp nodded noncommittally, actually, he was very impressed with young Joe. Gomez is still looking forward to it, Joe. Gomez is physical, fast, not weak, and in addition, he has excellent skills at his feet, which already has the basic conditions of a good defender.

Of course, he admits his assistant is right when he says that it would be right to bring in another centre-back if possible.

In the end, Klopp approved the proposal of Kravitz and others to consider bringing in another defender, and the job was also handed over to the club's scouting team, who will analyze and study as soon as possible, and if there is a suitable player, they will recommend it to Klopp and let the manager make the choice.

It's just that in football, excellent central defenders have always been a scarce commodity, and it does take a lot of effort for Liverpool to find an excellent central defender.

Of course, the most important thing seems to be the monetary factor.

……

In the full-back position, Liverpool's current main left wing-back is Alberto. Moreno, although the Spanish players have helped the team a lot in attack, but the characteristics of heavy attack and light defense have always worried Klopp.

However, Klopp is not going to spend any more money on the left wing-back position, because he thinks of Milner, the England international is a real jack-of-all-trades, he can play left-back, note that this is not a temporary cameo at left-back, Milner really has the ability and experience to play left-back.

At this point, Jose was the regular substitute for last season's left-back. Enrique's place in Klopp's heart has dropped another notch.

"Let's see if there's any team to Jose. Enrique? Klopp gave the order to his assistants.

"I've already asked, no." The answer was the team's CEO, Peter. Moore, he had just walked in when he heard Klopp's words and gave a reply.

Klopp nodded helplessly, indicating that he knew.
