August 30th.

In an interview with the local Brazilian media "Globo", Coutinho was very respectful of Barcelona at the training camp of the Brazilian team, and expressed his yearning for the Camp Nou stadium.

Among them, the biggest heated discussion in the media is Coutinho's praise of Messi, the Brazilian star praised Messi as the first person in today's football, saying that Messi is the guarantee of the championship, and the implication is that he is willing to go to Barcelona because under the leadership of Messi, he can win the Champions League.

"São Paulo State Newspaper" even broke the news that from a close friend of Coutinho, Coutinho is worried that he will never win the Champions League in Liverpool, and Messi led Barcelona to the Champions League last season, which made Coutinho excited, and Barcelona also promised him that after Messi retired, he will be the new king of Barcelona.

The Brazilian media report completely infuriated the Liverpudlians.

This is tantamount to saying that Jiang Chenxi can't do it, only Messi can win the championship.

This is like Real Madrid players telling the media that Ronaldo can't do it, and he is willing to go to Barcelona because Messi is more able to lead him to the championship.

Although Liverpool is not yet comparable to Real Madrid, having Jiang Chenxi, one of the three best stars in today's football, is Liverpool's confidence and hope.

Coutinho's remarks made Liverpool fans furious even more than his injury.

It's not just fans who are angry.

Liverpool are also very unhappy in the team.

What do you mean by that?

said that Jiang Chenxi is not as good as Messi?

Only Barcelona can win the title?

What does this make people including Lallana, Lovren, Mignolet, Sane, etc. who came to Liverpool to defect to Jiang Chenxi and 'hug their thighs'?

Of course, the most important thing is that Jiang Chenxi is angry.

The debate about who is the first Jiang Chenxi, Ronaldo and Messi has long existed, and Jiang Chenxi usually doesn't pay attention to it, after all, it is better to talk a lot, it is better to do more on the field.

However, as his own team-mate, Coutinho is not fit to say such things in any way.

As for Liverpool, if Jiang Chenxi sneezes, Liverpool will catch a cold, and now Jiang Chenxi is unhappy, which is not a trivial matter.

"Coutinho said something like that, he couldn't have stayed at Liverpool at all!" - The Times bluntly said.

The media is right.

Even without Jiang Chenxi speaking, Liverpool's players began to speak out against Coutinho, who is far away in the Brazilian national team.

"Jiang is the real Mr. Champion, and with him, Liverpool will have a steady stream of champions." - Lallana.

"Jiang went to Basel, Basel won the double, he went to Dortmund, Dortmund won the Champions League, he came to Liverpool, we won the first Premier League title in these years!" —Skrtel.

"Some people want to leave, it's nothing, as long as Jiang is here, none of us are afraid!" - Salah.

……

Although it was the national team match day, the Chinese team's two world preliminary opponents on this national team match day were Hong Kong, China and the Maldives, and their strength was weak, so this time, the Chinese team did not recruit Jiang Chenxi to return to China to play.

Therefore, Jiang Chenxi didn't go anywhere this offseason and stayed in Liverpool.

Melwood Training Base.

An emergency meeting was held at the top of Liverpool's hierarchy, and Liverpool chairman Tom Murphy was convened at the top of the hierarchy. Werner and the club's chief executive, Peter Worner. Moore, the club's head coach Jurgen. Jurgen Klopp, as well as the team's vice-president Jiang Chenxi and captain Jordan Henderson were present.

The meeting lasted three hours.

And that same night, the Barcelona negotiating team flew from Barcelona to Liverpool overnight.

……

On the evening of August 30, it was close to 24 o'clock.

Barcelona made a third offer, £80 million!

Liverpool refused.

Liverpool's attitude is clear, in this case, Liverpool agree to sell Coutinho, but Barcelona must make an offer that satisfies Liverpool, otherwise Liverpool would rather keep Coutinho.

August 31 is the last day of the La Liga transfer window to open.

Journalists gathered at Melwood Training Base.

Now everyone knows that Coutinho's move to Liverpool is almost inevitable after such a move, and now it is up to the two clubs to negotiate.

At 6:01 a.m., The Liverpool Echo reported: Liverpool have rejected Barcelona's fourth offer.

At 8:05 a.m., Barcelona's El Monde Sport reported that Barcelona's commissioner had arrived in Brazil and that Barcelona had received Coutinho's signature.

At 10:05 a.m., the media broke the news that the talks between Liverpool and Barcelona had collapsed.

Two hours later, The Guardian reported that the two sides had opened negotiations again.

At 14:25 p.m., Liverpool FC CEO Peter Murphy Murphy Moore gave an interview to the media, expressing Liverpool's tough attitude that "Liverpool does not accept threats".

There have been reports in the media that Barcelona and Liverpool have completely collapsed in terms of transfer talks over Coutinho.

However, just three hours later, Spain reported that Barcelona and Liverpool had reached an agreement on the transfer of the player, after the contract had been drafted by both parties, and the relevant documents were already being prepared to be submitted to the FIFA Transfer System (TMS) to complete the player's registration in the league.

At 20:31 in the evening, Barcelona vice-president Caldonel led the team out of the Melwood training base, and in front of many reporters, the senior Barcelona official had a smile on his face, and he made a victory gesture to the reporters.

The Barcelona reporters at the scene cheered, and the reporters in Liverpool and even England had gloomy faces.

……

An hour later.

The official website of Barcelona can't wait to announce the news: We are pleased to inform you that the club has announced that the club has signed a contract for Brazilian player Felipe. Coutinho's transfer has been agreed and the player will sign a five-year contract with Barcelona, and we are delighted to be able to bring this talented star to everyone, and welcome you to Camp Nou, Coutinho!

This is followed by a list of Coutinho's career resumes, full of praise for the Brazilian.

Half an hour later, Liverpool's official website also published an announcement, compared to Barcelona's announcement, Liverpool's announcement is very simple: the club has reached an agreement with FC Barcelona on the transfer of Brazilian player Coutinho, thank Coutinho for his previous contribution to Liverpool, and wish him good luck!

Soon, more detailed information about Cupinho's transfer to Barcelona was revealed by the media: Barcelona will pay a fixed transfer fee of 120 million euros plus a floating clause of 40 million euros, if all the floating clauses are met, Coutinho's value will reach 160 million euros, which will be the highest value of a player transferred from the Premier League, and it also makes Coutinho the second most valuable player in football after Neymar's transfer to Paris.

The whole football world was shocked, although it was expected, but no one expected that in less than a week before the transfer window closed, Barcelona would really succeed in poaching Coutinho from Liverpool.

And the transfer fee of up to 160 million euros also shocked everyone.

The media lamented that Barcelona was not bad for money.

Of course, there are also media who joke that this is all the money of Grand Paris, and Barcelona is not distressed to spend it.

However, some media have questioned whether Coutinho is really worth such a high transfer fee.

In the evening of the same day, Coutinho's INS, who was far away in Brazil, published an article thanking Liverpool for nurturing him, thanking him for his years in Liverpool, and finally, at the end of the article, the Brazilian said, 'I will always cherish Liverpool in my heart and never forget my years in Liverpool...... You will never walk alone. ’

Coutinho's article did not usher in forgiveness from Liverpool fans for him, and underneath the Brazilian's INS was filled with angry remarks and even abuse from Liverpool fans.

On the same day, Liverpool's number one star Jiang Chenxi also updated his personal social account.

He posted an image:

It is a five-time UEFA Champions League trophy, which represents the glory of Liverpool's previous five summits at the top of Europe.

Behind this image is the timeline of the 2015/2016 UEFA Champions League final day.

There is another sentence at the back: Champions, never stop!
