Chapter 292: It's Too Bullying

Mane spent the first 19 years of his life in his native Senegal. If it weren't for Mays' scouting, perhaps he would have been unknown in the local club for the rest of his life. Unlike many "demon stars" who wandered in Europe as a child, Mane was not able to get in touch with professional football training earlier, and it always makes people feel that he was born in the wild. But it is also thanks to this that his style of play retains a bit of the wildness of African tribes, like a warrior with a spear, charging bravely and fearlessly.

In his first season in Europe, the young Mane failed to help Metz escape relegation, but the transfer fee of 4 million euros when he left the club repaid Metz to some extent. Metz opened the door to a new world for Mane, while Red Bull Salzburg gave him a bigger stage.

Arriving at Red Bull Salzburg, Mane became teammates with Alain and Soriano. During his two seasons at Red Bull Salzburg, Mane was a wild horse with "more energy than you think", scoring 45 goals in 87 appearances in all competitions with an astonishing efficiency.

By the time he joined Southampton in the summer of 2014, Mane's transfer fee had risen to €23 million. In the Saints' 6-1 thrashing of Aston Villa, Mane scored three goals in a row in just 2 minutes and 56 seconds to surpass Robbie. Fowler's 4:33 became the shortest time to complete a hat-trick in Premier League history.

In the 2014/2015 season, Sadio Mane scored just 10 goals in total, but he was full of gold. In addition to his record of 3 goals in 2:56, Mane has also scored the doors of Chelsea and Arsenal, and scored the final winner against Queens Park Rangers and Crystal Palace.

As Mane's agent, Ismael knows Mane's future could be very bright, and Southampton is definitely not the end of Mane.

However, he didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon.

Originally, he was worried that Mane would be more honest and wooden, and would think about continuing to stay in Southampton, but he didn't expect the reality to be like this, and as soon as he heard Liverpool's call, he immediately nodded and agreed.

It seems that he doesn't know Mane well enough: it turns out that this seemingly honest kid is not honest at all.

Mane doesn't know what his agent thinks, he doesn't think so much, Liverpool is the new champion of the Premier League, strong, Klopp is the champion coach, and the team also has a superstar like Jiang Chenxi, the media are saying that now this Liverpool team is creating a dynasty, and the invitation of such a team, Mane is not stupid, of course he will not refuse.

This has nothing to do with Southampton's heartfelt dissatisfaction, Mane is not from Southampton's academy, as long as he does not make a transfer and does not do anything that damages the interests of the team, then there is no possibility of turning the other cheek, it is nothing more than a negotiation between the two clubs.

Well, I'm not making trouble, I'm not over, but I'm going to Liverpool!

That's what Mane thinks right now.

……

Soon, England's "Sun" broke the news that Liverpool was interested in Southampton's Senegalese star Sadio Mane.

This immediately caught the attention of the English media and fans on both sides of Liverpool and Southampton.

Liverpool is naturally very happy, some Liverpool fans know Mane, recognize the strength of this black player, and naturally support this transfer, some Liverpool fans don't know Mane, however, Mane is produced by Southampton, this is the golden sign, they are at ease.

Southampton fans are angry, Liverpool is too much, even if you are sherding, you can't just stare at a sheep's wool, okay, even if you are staring at a sheep's wool, you can't be so diligent, right?!

Southampton fans gathered outside the club's training base and called on the club to bravely turn Liverpool back.

"We're not a 'Liverpool second team'!"

"Don't sell people to Liverpool!"

"Southampton! We can say no! ”

The Southampton fans are really angry and they want the club's hierarchy to stand up and say 'no' to Liverpool!

When Southampton fans were delighted, the club's CEO Les Rice. Reid made it clear that Mane is the black pearl of Southampton and is not for sale for the team!

Rice. Reid's tough response also won the praise and support of Southampton fans.

Jurgen Klopp soon got the news that Southampton CEO Les Rice. Reid rejected Liverpool's offer for Mane and said Mane was not for sale.

However, Liverpool CEO Peter Brown. Moore advised Klopp to be calm, "It's nothing, he's said before that Lovren and Lallana are not for sale, and by the way, Klein." ”

The scouting team recommends a player to Klopp, or which player Klopp himself fancies, and then asks the scouting team to investigate, and then feeds back the news, and finally Klopp makes a decision to ask the club to buy a certain player, and the rest of the negotiation work Klopp just keeps an eye on it, and the player transfer negotiations are mainly Peter. Moore's thing.

……

Liverpool played the last game in Evian-les-Bains, they beat Serie A team Sassuolo 4-0, Jiang Chenxi scored a hat trick in the game, Liverpool did not concede a goal in this game, although this is not too strong with Sassuolo's attacking ability, but in this game, Liverpool's new signing, right-back Klein's right side of the town does look a lot more stable, which also makes Liverpool fans very happy.

And just before preparing for Liverpool to leave Evian-les-Bains and leave for North America to prepare for the International Champions Cup, the media suddenly reported that Liverpool had basically won Hoffenheim's Brazilian international Roberto. Firmino.

According to previous BBC news, Firmino's transfer fee will be 29 million pounds (about 41 million euros), and on this day the German "Bild" also confirmed, "Bild" said that if the deal is finally completed, then Firmino will set a second transfer record in the Bundesliga. The current second-highest transfer record in the Bundesliga is Xavi. Martinez, who moved from Bilbao to Bayern Munich for 40 million euros, Dzeko from Wolfsburg to Manchester City for 37.5 million euros, Gotze from Borussia Dortmund to Bayern Munich for 37 million euros, and Schurrle from Chelsea to Wolfsburg for 32 million euros.

Who is the number one transfer record in the Bundesliga?

Jiang Chenxi transferred to Liverpool from Borussia Dortmund a year ago and is worth as much as 65 million pounds (82.5 million euros)!

This is considered an unbeatable record for participating in transfers!

This media report immediately attracted the attention of Liverpool fans, who turned their attention from their hometown Southampton to the Bundesliga, focusing on the name Roberto. Roberto Firmino's young Brazil international.

The media reports are not rumours, Liverpool are indeed chasing Firmino, and it is true that the transfer deal has basically been struck.

Firmino was a player handpicked by Jurgen Klopp.

Similar to Liverpool's scouts who always keep an eye on his hometown Southampton, Klopp has always looked at his native Bundesliga in Germany, where he admires Roberto Firmino.

The 23-year-old is a well-rounded attacking player who can play in a number of positions in midfield and is one of the few panacea in football today. In the past Bundesliga, Firmino played 33 games for Hoffenheim, scoring 7 goals and providing 10 assists, which is quite a magnificent statistic.

On top of that, Firmino's hard work and running at the expense of his strength on the pitch was a big deal for Jurgen Klopp.

……

Liverpool have their first match in the North American division of the International Champions Cup this summer.

Their opponent is Borussia Dortmund.

In the final game, Liverpool defeated the Hornets 3-1, and Jiang Chenxi faced the old master with a pass and a shot to help Liverpool win.

This is also the first time Jiang Chenxi has faced his old master after leaving Dortmund.

And just after this game, an announcement was made on Liverpool's official website that Liverpool and Bundesliga team Hoffenheim agreed on the Brazilian international Roberto Brown. Firmino's transfer agreement has been reached, with the 23-year-old Brazilian joining Liverpool from Hoffenheim for £29 million (€41 million) and signing a five-year contract.

Two days later, Jiang met her new teammate in Los Angeles.

This is a Brazilian who seems to love to laugh and cheerful, and he will take the initiative to greet everyone, saying that he is happy to work together in the future, and saying that he will take care of him.

Finally, the Brazil international took out a Liverpool No. 7 jersey from his backpack and asked Jiang Chenxi to sign it with an excited expression.

and also asked Jiang Chenxi to write on the shirt a commemoration of Firmino's first report with the whole Liverpool team.

Jiang Chenxi naturally would not refuse the sincere request of his new teammates, he signed it seriously, and the latter put it away seriously, and also said that this jersey should be regarded as an heirloom or something.

Everyone laughed good-naturedly, everyone liked this cheerful Brazilian very much, although Firmino's last move seemed to be 'flattering', but no one cared about this, in Liverpool, Jiang Chenxi is a special existence, which is the normal perception of other players in Liverpool now.

The arrival of Firmino also means that someone is finally leaving.

Balotelli left in disgrace after a failed Liverpool experience.

Balotelli's performances over the past season have clearly not satisfied Jurgen Klopp and the Liverpool hierarchy and fans, not only on the pitch, but off the pitch as well.

If Balotelli's 'bullying' youth teammate Alexander-Arnold can be said to be nonsense, after the Italian slept with the Liverpool female fans, what was ruthless, and the matter of driving the female fans out of the house in the middle of the night caused the dissatisfaction of Liverpool fans, and also made Liverpool's senior management very unhappy, which directly intensified the conflict, and then in the League Cup semi-finals and Chelsea match, Balotelli lost control of his emotions and was sent off, which made Klopp completely give up Balotelli.

Where did Balotelli come from, he was sent back to AC Milan on loan by Liverpool, Liverpool agreed to loan Balotelli to AC Milan for one year for free, the latter only needs to pay half of Balotelli's salary, Liverpool is willing to bear the other half of his salary in order to send Balotelli away, however, after a year, AC Milan must buy out Balotelli for 12 million euros.

It is said that in order to get Milan to agree to this mandatory buyout contract, Liverpool and Milan have engaged in tug-of-war negotiations, and Rossoneri manager Galliani proposed an optional buyout clause, but this was immediately rejected by Liverpool.

Liverpool has long been overshadowed by the 24.5 incident of that year.

The so-called 24.5 incident refers to the summer of 2011, when Aquilani was loaned from Liverpool to AC Milan, and Liverpool took on most of Aquila's salary. The agreement stipulates that if Aquilani makes 25 appearances for Milan (0.5 substitute appearances), Milan must buy Aquilani for 6 million euros.

In the 2011/2012 season, Aquilani had a good start at Milan, at least above the standard, and he provided six assists for the team in Serie A, but Milan felt that the 6 million euro buyout fee was still too high, so Aquilani did not arrange it after reaching 24.5 appearances.

This can make Liverpool angry, how can it be in vain? How can this be!

Unexpectedly, in the summer of 2012, Milan offered to loan Aquilani for another season, and the Reds resolutely refused Milan this time.

Therefore, this time Liverpool is very vigilant when doing business with AC Milan.

……

A few days later, Liverpool ushered in the second game of the International Champions Cup, they played a 1-1 draw with Louis van Gaal's Manchester United team in 90 minutes, and finally in the penalty shootout, Van Gaal's Manchester United won Liverpool, which also made the Manchester media very happy, for Manchester United, although this is only a commercial game, but it is also a win against Liverpool, which is a good breath of anger last season.

In this game, Jiang Chenxi did not play, and it was Firmino who scored for Liverpool.

The announcement of Firmino's transfer to Liverpool also relieved Southampton fans, Liverpool have bought this Brazilian and should no longer covet their Mane. Reid did a great job, and finally bravely said 'no' to Liverpool!

However, at this time, the Premier League giants Manchester United announced on their official website that the team had reached an agreement with Southampton, and the team's French international Schneiderlin had officially joined Manchester United, and he signed a four-year contract with the team, with the option to extend his contract for another year. Manchester United did not disclose other details of the contract on their official website, but according to the British media Daily Mail, Schneiderland's transfer fee is £24 million.

Schneiderlin's move to Manchester United angered Southampton fans, who protested outside the Stars Training Ground and wanted to question the team's CEO, Les Rice. Reed.

In this regard, Rice. Reid had to come out to reassure the fans, saying that Schneiderlin was just a special event.

Some fans believed Rice. Reid, after all, Reid didn't say that Schneiderlin was not for sale before, he just said that Mane was not for sale, and that Schneiderlin was not for sale was for coach Ronald. Koeman, not Rice. Reed.

After calming the fans, the Southampton bigwigs returned to the office and called a meeting with the other bigwigs, and the Liverpudlians gave him a big problem.

"Too much deception!" Ronald. Coman slapped the table again, and he almost fainted, if it weren't for his questioning, Les. Reid said it twice, and he couldn't believe what the convocation had heard.

The wool is only staring at a sheep, which is already very excessive, and now it is necessary to pack the wool, and a handful of wool is still just planted and has not yet grown!

This is simply too deceitful!

Yes, Liverpool has come up with a new scheme:

They are going to bring in Senegalese Mane and Dutch centre-back Virgil van Dijk!

Sadio Mane aside, you know, Van Dijk has only played two warm-up games for Southampton since he joined Southampton for less than a month!

Too much deception......

It's too much of a bully......
