Cruyff is here today as a lobbyist, or he wants to continue to maintain his natural influence at Barcelona, but more importantly, he is committed to his football philosophy.

Pep Guardiola is his mantle, Barcelona lost, Spain lost, and he wants Pep Guardiola to stick with it and stick to their shared philosophy and dreams.

What is more terrible than failure is that what you believe in is destroyed.

"Pep, I know you like Mark very much, but Mark now is different from Mark a year ago, two years ago or even a few months ago, even if Messi's personality is very gentle and there will be no conflict with Mark, but Messi, as a football symbol of Argentina, cannot be willing to be under Mark"

Guardiola shook his head and smiled, he didn't like these things very much, what first and second, "John, Messi is not only a superstar in our team, they are the main force of the European champion Spain, are they all under Messi?" No, I don't see it that way, football is not a singles game"

"It's different, we are Barcelona, Pep, Messi is Barcelona, Mark is here, have you ever thought that all the success of you and Barcelona will be credited to his head, he is a Liverpudlian, and he will not become a Barça in this life", Cruyff sat on the sofa and said in a calm but unusually determined tone.

The pressure on Pep Guardiola is great, very, quite great, not because of Cruyff, but in a club like Barcelona, it's like an invisible net that wraps you tightly at all times.

It's been 2 years, if it weren't for proving that he was right, he might have resigned this season, he needs the Champions League, this group of players he brought up himself.

"John, have you ever thought about what it would mean for us if Real Madrid signed Mark?" Guardiola asked, turning his back to the bookshelf and putting his hands in his trouser pockets.

"I believe that our football will be successful, Pep, and you must believe in that", Cruyff said proudly, "La Masia is my life's work and he can definitely succeed"

Crazy, this old man is crazy, Guardiola never thought when Cruyff would become so stubborn, he was only worried that Mark's prestige would overpower La Masia's system, Guardiola felt tired, tired of fame, tired of profit, their football was no longer pure......

……

Liverpool.

Odegaard and his father had been outside Melwood for a week, and they hadn't seen anyone who could introduce them to Mackin or even the signed photograph to no avail.

The doorman shook his head and smiled, in the past few years, there have been more signed photos signed out by Mark Qin, and everyone who comes with the photos must do so, so as not to exhaust them.

"Martin, are you sure you're going to have to wait?" , The middle-aged man stroked his son's hair, "Just to let Mark see your ball skills?" ”

"Hmm!" Odegaard nodded vigorously, "I've decided, as long as Mark says I can do it, I'll join Liverpool"

"Hey, I haven't agreed yet, okay", the middle-aged man was helpless.

A Mercedes Benz drove slowly past and drove directly to the Melwood gate, and when it reached the door, it stopped again, and the driver seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then slowly reversed until the father and son were next to them.

"Hey, you're Nordic, I've seen you twice in the past few days, are you fans?" Ag rolled down the window and asked, Denmark went home in the group stage of the World Cup, he returned to Liverpool very early after his vacation, and he still runs two restaurants here.

"Ag, you're the Ag of Denmark," Odegaard exclaimed excitedly.

The middle-aged man pressed his son's shoulder, "That's right, we're from Norway, let's see if there's a chance for my son to meet Mark"

"Hoho, then you won't have to wait for a month, Mark is not something you can see if you want to", said Aug with a mischievous wink at Odegaard.

Looking at his son's instantly depressed face, the middle-aged man sighed and said seriously: "That's the case, my son has been a fan of Mark for a long time, look, this is a photo of him signed before, my son also plays, he wants to join Liverpool and play next to Mark"

Ag took the photo and looked at it, it turned out to be a star chaser, "Little guy, you are so short, how do you kick the ball?" He also asked quippingly.

"Cut, Messi is not tall, Mark is not tall......"

"Haha, interesting", Ag patted the steering wheel and laughed, "Well, I'm going to entertain a new teammate today, for the sake of why you are both Nordic and you are a Mark fan, I can take you to Cokerby for a tryout, how about it?" ”

……

For Van Dijk, it was like pie in the sky a while ago, he was already on the verge of signing a professional contract with FC Groningen, but scouts from Liverpool suddenly found him.

Later, of course, Liverpool compensated Groningen for some youth training fees, and took away Van Dijk, who was just 19 years old.

Marco was also puzzled, he didn't know where Mackin knew about the group, N'Golo Kante of the French amateur team, Virgil van Dijk of the Dutch academy, and Son Heung-min of the Asian exchange program in Hamburg.

Oh, and that Zhang Linpeng from China, these people are generally 18 or 9 years old, and he doesn't know if he can kick it out, but since it doesn't cost much, he won't refute Ma Qin's face.

However, Spalletti was very interested in De Bruyne and Suarez, who were recommended by Macklin, and even personally lobbied them to join Liverpool in the new season.

But Liverpool now face a huge problem, which is financial constraints, and whether they can afford the transfer fee of these two men is not certain.

This year is a World Cup year, and the training time is relatively late, especially the members of the national team who have gone farther in the World Cup, the later they return to the team, when Gerrard and they come back, it is close to the end of July, and Mackin is still on vacation, because of injury, Liverpool agreed that he will recover from the injury and return to the team.

Every summer there will be people coming and going, and this year is no exception, although this summer's World Cup is very hot, but the new stars who are popular are only a few people in Germany and Uruguay, and after last summer's big purchases, this year's teams have converged a lot and began to mend the seams.

Liverpool were the first to leave Aurelio and Iaquinta, who went to Guangzhou Evergrande as a series of cooperation projects for Zhang Linpeng's transfer, and of course, brought back 30 million euros to Liverpool.

When they asked Makqin for his opinion, he was very direct: you can play until 35 there, the pace is very slow, the salary is higher than what Liverpool gives, and you are a number of stars in the Chinese Super League, there must be a lot of advertising, don't go to see yourself.

This transfer not only caused a sensation in domestic football, but also caused a sensation in European football, the two veterans are 32 years old, and now in the case of economic malaise, in the eyes of European clubs, it is worth 20 million, Liverpool actually sold 30 million, when did the Chinese team become so rich?

How did they know that Evergrande's purpose was to buy horse bones, and with the current domestic environment, the premium acquisition is certain, which is Liverpool's first deal in the summer.

Spalletti is open to the two men leaving, after all, they are getting older, but the immediate problem is to add a striker, a left-back and, oh, a middle-back.

This involved Liverpool's second transfer, with West Ham brandishing money to lure Cahill away, and as Liverpool's main rotating centre-back, his departure had too much impact on the back line.

Carragher is about to be 33 in the new season, although he has announced his retirement from the national team and devoted all his energy to the club, but age is age, and no one can escape it.

Mackqin, who is far away on the Spanish island, once again recommended Otamendi, Argentina's main central defender in this South Africa World Cup, and Spalletti still trusts Macqin's vision, after all, Azpilicueta is there.

On the other hand, he has received a hint from Parry that no one can say whether Mack can stay next season, and let him be ready for everything, so Spalletti is determined to win Suarez, who can replace most of his role in the forward line, recommended by Mack.

……

The heat of the World Cup is slowly dissipating, and the club competition is about to start again, and this summer, it has been calm, of course, for last summer.

Villa's transfer to Barcelona should be regarded as the biggest transfer news at present, except for Cahill's transfer to West Ham United, the rest of the Premier League are all small fights, and the top six in the Premier League are surprisingly calm, and they are all starting to make small repairs to the squad last season.

Perhaps, many people are waiting for the biggest fish to blow up the ice of the market to see how deep the water will be this summer.

At the Prince Hotel in Paris, Zahavi was dressed casually, holding a cigar and looking confident, and said to Leonardo, CEO of Paris Saint-Germain, opposite: "Business, in my dictionary, there is no business that cannot be done, only human favors that cannot be repaid"

This figure is well-known in European football, and almost all the giants regard him as a guest, and Abu entered the football world because he was a matchmaker and a close friend of Ferguson.

He's a businessman, he's never concerned with the interests of the players, like a real agent, but how to make a profitable business, and his tentacles are all over Europe.

"We offered very good conditions, in fact Ligue 1 is not attractive for Mark", Leonardo shrugged, "if you have a way, of course the boss will be interested"

Zahavi spat out his eyes and said with a smile: "It's not complicated, it's you who want to be complicated, I like to deal with rich people, because business and rich people can take what they want"

"You go back and tell your boss, is it his Qatar bureau that needs Mark's reputation, or Paris Saint-Germain, only if you figure it out, why can you get to the table, now Barcelona and Real Madrid have sat down and dealt the cards, and it's not clear what you want......"

Leonardo frowned, "Pini, you have to be clear"

"Okay, I can give you a thorough idea, it's an upfront investment, do you know how Liverpool's owner David agreed to let go of Liverpool with such a good upward momentum?"

"It's nothing more than money", Leonardo said uncertainly, "there's a lot of speculation about this"

"Of course, hehe", Zahavi laughed, "and both sides are silent because they don't want to make a big deal out of it, David is afraid of offending the fans, and Mark is afraid of interrupting the process of Liverpool's membership"

"To be honest, even if the ball is not played so well, I will appreciate his courage to do things against him, although it is a bit idealistic"

"You haven't said the point yet", Leonardo reminded.

"Yes, the point", Zahavi suppressed his inner sense of superiority, "If Mark does not fill the hole in the deal with the two sides through transfer income in the summer, then the David family has the right to auction off the ownership of Liverpool immediately"

"Whether it was the contradiction between the two sides at that time, or the membership reform at that time had to be launched, so that Mark had no choice, in short, this clause was written into the transaction agreement!"

"Are you sure?" Leonardo stood up with a sigh of relief.

"It's true", Zahavi spat out the smoke ring, "and I can also attach you a piece of news, that hole is about 120 million pounds, all Liverpool's assets have been mortgaged by the fan club when they raised funds, except for selling the mark, they can't raise 120 million anywhere in the summer, unless someone donates it"

"And David seems to hate Mark very much, if this agreement is written into the terms, even if someone donates, there are loopholes in the contract, as if he has to kick Mark out of Liverpool......"
