"The two captains of Liverpool have a close personal relationship and have been together for more than four hours!"

"According to people close to Long Shute, Long and Gerald have a great conversation!"

"The new and old captains work together, and there is no flaw in the Red Army!"

"Perhaps...... Only by expecting Barcelona can Liverpool show its flaws! ”

……

In England, as a football star, there is undoubtedly a great deal of exposure.

At the level of Lonshit, there is hardly much personal privacy - if it is a local player, there may be an element of calf protection, but he does not have a hair's relationship with the British Isles......

On the next day's online media, the secret conversation between Lonshette and Gerald was exposed, which of course does not rule out the reason why a personal assistant took the initiative to provide clues to the media.

Liverpool fans are undoubtedly very happy to see such a thing: the new leader takes the initiative to invite the legend of the team to his home, and the old captain does not rely on the old to put on a show, the two happily get together for tea and talk, discuss the team's tactical cooperation, and look forward to the upcoming red dynasty...... What a gratifying thing this is!

But there will always be media outlets that will go against the grain.

Those fans in London and Manchester really pinned their hopes on Barcelona, and they looked at the 200 million euro Cosmos team in their hands, hoping that they would quickly swing their hoes and cut off Liverpool's No. 2 core!

Barcelona lived up to the expectations of the 19 Premier League teams, sending an official offer to Liverpool for the third time the day before the Premier League kicks off!

"150 million, no strings attached? 80 million paid in cash, and the remaining 70 million to settle in two years? ”

Looking at the fax in his hand, Long Shute was really taken aback.

Liverpool general manager Johnson shrugged:

"Barcelona must be in a hurry, although there are still 20 days left in the transfer window, but in the whole market, there are not too many players who are qualified to be Neymar's replacement, if Barcelona can't find such players, then their competitiveness in Spain will obviously be greatly reduced."

Ronshit smiled, then turned to the head coach:

"What do you mean, Brendan?"

Rogers rubbed his slightly reddened nose:

'We can all see that Felipe hasn't been in great form for two weeks since Neymar's transfer, and even when he scores in a game like the UEFA Super Cup, I don't see a smile on his face.

Although only a trainee coach, Gerrard also qualified to participate in this conference.

He had wanted to suggest that Coutinho stay, after all, he was one of the few old team-mates who had carried a gun with him.

But he remembered what Long Shute had said to him two days ago, so he could only say one sentence:

'Felipe is a very professional player and he has given a lot of good games to the team. If I could, I would like to ...... Don't make a bad impression on both sides because of the transfer......"

Long Shute nodded noncommittally, and then commanded Johnson:

'Tom, we can sell the Brazilian but we have to tell Barcelona that they have to pay enough and know that Coutinho only signed a new contract in July.

Johnson rubbed the stubble on his chin and said he understood:

"Barcelona only has two options, one is to increase the total amount of the offer, and the other is to increase the proportion of cash funds, and I will deal with this matter."

Long Shute added:

'Since Coutinho is leaving, sign Salah. By the way, what if...... I mean, if Coutinho offered to pay the difference out of his pocket, we wouldn't want that difference. I can't afford to lose this man. ”

-

Every season, the opening game of the Premier League is rarely scheduled for the defending champions, but Liverpool are in the minority.

Their opponents in the first round...... None other than Arsenal.

After the morning meeting on Coutinho's transfer, Liverpool drove to London, more than 300 kilometres away.

Nearly 4 hours of driving, lunch, short break, acclimatization...... Then came the first pre-match press conference of the new league season.

The media hall at the Emirates Stadium is still imposing, and even though Anfield has been expanded and refurbished over the past year, it can't compare to the new, modern stadium.

At the press conference, the media was only concerned about one issue:

"Coutinho didn't get into the starting line-up this time and stayed with Liverpool, is this because he is about to move to Barcelona?"

Rogers doesn't deny:

'Filipe did submit a transfer request, but it wasn't really the reason, the main thing was that he needed a break because he was overexcited and twisted his ankle slightly during the celebrations after the UEFA Super Cup.

He said it sincerely, but the vast majority of reporters didn't believe it – how could they trust a coach so easily, but they were journalists?

Only by digging deep into the story behind it can such a reporter be a qualified and professional reporter!

Looking at the distrustful eyes in the audience, Rogers had no choice but to kick the ball to Long Shut.

I only heard Long Shute reply:

'I spoke to Felipe once yesterday and I told him that Liverpool and Barcelona are not at the same level at all and leaving Liverpool to join Barcelona is obviously going downhill.

The reporters in the audience were in an uproar.

Oh my!

During these five or six years, European football was known as "Real Sajen" or "Saqima", Real Madrid, Barcelona, plus Bayern Munich, these three teams have always been stronger than other teams, and are recognized as super-first-class teams.

But now...... The captain of Liverpool is so shameless in claiming that his team is one notch higher than the Cosmos?!

Won a league championship in 26 years, and it made you go to the sky?

Who gave you such audacity to dare to compare with Barcelona?

"I'm not taking Barcelona lightly, it's because, in my eyes, the best club, the team I'm in, and all the other teams, are a notch below us."

Long Shute smiled, full of strong confidence that people didn't want to believe, but had to believe:

"I respect a team like Barcelona, so ...... If I had the chance to face them, I would definitely use 1000% of my energy to destroy them completely! ”

The reporters in the audience looked surprised, but excitedly "crackled" at the notebook:

"Lonshit openly says Barcelona are not as good as Liverpool!"

"The captain of the Reds called Barcelona, and the Champions League group stage may be divided into a group?"

"Longshute brings a new definition: the team with me is the first!"

"Longshute is purely self-inflated, and the first-seeded team Barcelona disdains to pay attention to the third-tier team!"

……

Looking at those excited reporters, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, who was sitting on the side, was so angry that his legs trembled:

"MMP, this is my Emirates Stadium, and tomorrow is also my home game, why can Lao Tzu only be a background for the away team?!"
