Liu Ting met Liverpool's CEO in the club's office, a middle-aged man about 40 years old, who was arranged by his grandfather and said to be very capable, mainly to help Liverpool develop its business.

The CEO is also the only person in Liverpool who knows about Liu Ting's investment relationship.

"Uncle Xu, hello." The new CEO is named Xu Zhengxin, a person who has studied in the United States, and Grandpa Liu Ting said that he has a good set of business operations.

"Tingzai doesn't have to be polite, your grandfather is also my elder, and everyone will be their own in the future."

Xu Zhengxin was also very polite, and soon the two chatted.

Xu Zhengxin said: "My positioning for Liverpool is to be rooted in the Asian market and open up the world. ”

"Although Liverpool once dominated Europe, it has been in decline for many years, and it has not won the top league championship for almost 20 years, and its influence around the world is not as good as before, although it is still a giant, many people are used to calling Liverpool a declining giant."

"The most influential clubs in the world now are Real Madrid and Manchester United, Real Madrid is based on his 100-year history and Florentino's commercial operation of the Galaxy in previous years, Manchester United is based on Ferguson's long-term record guarantee, and good commercial development is also essential."

"Liverpool is not capable of competing with these two clubs, but we have our own advantages, Liverpool has a Chinese owner, and Chinese stars, which will make Liverpool very attractive in China, and then use China as a support point to fully develop the Asian market, I believe that as long as there is a certain guarantee of results, Liverpool can quickly become the most influential club in Asia, and then I am considering spreading its influence to the world."

Liu Ting said: "Uncle Xu's idea is very good, and it should be able to be implemented." ”

Xu Zhengxin's idea is indeed attractive, but it will take time to test whether it can be completed.

Bidding farewell to Xu Zhengxin, Liu Ting went to his home in Liverpool under the leadership of club personnel.

The house was rented in advance by the Liverpool Club and the rent was paid by the club.

Liu Ting's house is in the wealthy area of Furby in the north of Liverpool, and many players in the Liverpool team live here, but some rent and some buy it directly.

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard's mansion in Furby is worth £4.5 million, with nine bedrooms, three living rooms, and everything else such as a home cinema and swimming pool.

In fact, Liverpool's environmental security is one of the best in British cities in all aspects, and now there are many star mansions in Fermby, Rooney's house in Furby has not been bought, and the most scoring scorer in the history of the Premier League, Alan Shearer, also lives here, and others such as snooker superstar Parrott.

Liu Ting's house only has a suite of 4 bedrooms and 2 living rooms, and he doesn't know the specific rent. Although the price of Furmby is high, there is a shortage of housing, especially the kind of luxury property in Gerrard.

Liu Ting was thinking about whether to wait for a good house to sell here and buy a good one.

The second day of Liu Ting's transfer to Liverpool was August 31, which was also the last day of the summer transfer period in European football, and the summer transfer period was completely closed after 12 pm on the 31st.

On this last day, Manchester had a series of blockbuster transfers completed.

First of all, Manchester United announced that it would bring in Tottenham Hotspur striker Berbatov for 38 million euros, breaking the European transfer record held by Liu Ting this summer.

Then Manchester City was not to be outdone, announcing the introduction of Real Madrid's Robinho for 42 million euros, once again refreshing the summer standard.

The rest of Europe's leagues are surprised by the deep pockets of Premier League teams, with three of the biggest transfers in the transfer market this summer all made by Premier League clubs.

Liu Ting's transfer bid position only sat for one day before he gave way, and he fell to the third position.

This makes Liu Ting face less pressure, and the transfer bid king will definitely attract attention.

At this point, the transfer in Europe is over, and the Premier League teams can also prepare for the game with peace of mind.

This summer, the biggest transfer spending of Premier League teams was Manchester City, which was bought by oil tycoons, spending £77 million. The second is Liverpool, which spent 74 million pounds, and the third is Tottenham, which spent 68 million pounds, and the other three giants have not invested much.

If you talk about net investment alone, Liverpool is second only to Manchester City, only investing as much as 59 million pounds, second only to Manchester City's 62 million pounds, the reason why Tottenham spends so much money is because it earned 80 million pounds this summer, in fact, Tottenham is the Premier League team with the least net investment, that is, the team that makes the most money.

Arsenal is still making a small profit in the transfer market, Chelsea is also breaking even, with a net investment of only 1.5 million pounds, and Manchester United's net investment is only 24.5 million pounds, ranking fourth in the Premier League.

So the British media predicted, "The Mirror" said: "In terms of summer investment, only Liverpool has the ability to challenge Manchester United's status this season, and other Arsenal and Chelsea are difficult to shake Manchester United's status, as for the upstart Manchester City, he still needs time to accumulate foundation." However, the first favorite in the Premier League has always been Manchester United, in addition to retaining last season's three-headed monster hero Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney and Tevez, Manchester United has introduced Berbatov to form the latest 'four kings', and everyone is optimistic that Manchester United will defend the Premier League title or even the Champions League. ”

"Liverpool was in the last four of the Champions League last season, although they only finished fourth in the league, it was because Liverpool saw that the league won the league with no hope of focusing on the Champions League, with Torres, Liverpool finally have a striker who can score. In the past, Liverpool was a top defender and a top midfielder, but there was no striker who could score, and the arrival of Torres solved this problem, and this summer brought in Robbie Keane, who proved himself at Tottenham last season, and Bordeaux demon star Chinese kid Liu Ting, as long as they can integrate well, Liverpool have the ability to threaten Manchester United's position. Of course, their head coach Heynckes must also integrate the team as soon as possible, otherwise everything will be in vain. ”

In addition to the closure of the transfer market and the analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of the four giants, many media are also analyzing the group stage situation of the Champions League.

The Guardian analyzed the Champions League draw for the four giants of the Premier League this year: "Among the four giants, Manchester United is undoubtedly the best group, and Celtic, Villarreal and Danish team Aalborg in the same group are difficult to threaten the defending champions." Chelsea and Arsenal also have little problem qualifying, with the only doubt being whether they will finish first or second in the group. Only Liverpool's group is the worst of the Premier League giants, Atletico Madrid, Marseille and PSV are not easy to deal with, especially Torres's old club Atletico Madrid, Atletico Madrid has become stronger after Torres left, Atletico Madrid used to have only one Torres, and the rest of the team is very bad, and now Atletico Madrid uses Torres's transfer fee to strengthen the team's lineup, and the front line also has the Golden Boy Award winner Aguero, who won the 4th place in La Liga last season and is a strong opponent, in addition, Marseille and Eindhoven are not easy to mess with, Marseille almost knocked Liverpool out of the group stage last season. ”

"For Liverpool's head coach Heynckes, this group is definitely not friendly to him, if there is an accident in the group stage and he can't qualify, the Chinese boss who has invested heavily will definitely not be happy, and the German's Liverpool coaching career may be over."

Liu Ting took care of his own affairs and went to Liverpool's Melwood training base for the first time.

This is where Liverpool's first-team base is, between Liverpool and derby, where first-team training takes place.

It's the national team break, and many of Liverpool's players have gone to the national team game, with the rest of the players taking two days off and training under the guidance of the manager.

Heynckes had to practice his tactics constantly when he first arrived, which helped him adapt to the English style of football.

Heynckes' grandmother gray looks righteous, and he is the kind of decent person with a bit of stubborn thoughts on TV.

"Hello, Boss!"

"Liu, just call me Joseph."

After saying hello to Heynckes, Liu Ting just came to the team and could only train alone for the time being.

Heynckes spent most of his playing career with Borussia Monchengladbach in the Bundesliga, where he led them to four Bundesliga titles, one of three in a row, and the only one in the Bundesliga other than Bayern.

In Europe, Heynckes led Borussia Mönchen to two League Cup finals, won the championship once, and also led Borussia Mönchenchen to a Champions League final, but unfortunately only finished as runners-up, when the final was lost to Liverpool, the Red Army who began to dominate Europe.

Heynckes also holds a record that no one can break, he is the only person to have won the top scorer in all three major European cups, the Champions Cup, the League Cup and the Cup Winners' Cup, the only one in history, and now that the Cup Winners' Cup has been cancelled, no one can complete this record anymore.

Heynckes' club career was perfect, but in the German national team, during the reign of Gerd Müller, Heynckes was always a substitute for Gerd Müller in the national team.

After retiring as a player, Heynckes first coached Borussia Monchengladbach, leading them to the UEFA Cup final in their first year, losing to Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga. It is worth mentioning that the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup that year were all Bundesliga teams, and the other two were Bayern and Stuttgart, the only time that they did not win the semi-finals with the same league team.

After good results under Borussia Mönchen, he went to Bayern and led Bayern to two Bundesliga titles.

Heynckes, who left Bayern, began to wander around, coaching all the strongest teams in major leagues, and the results were not good or bad, and he did not have too many honors, except for the time when he coached Real Madrid.
