David Morse carefully read the four requirements in the document description, his brows furrowed deeply, and he pursed the corners of his mouth before asking, "Shen, your requirements are a bit excessive, right?" ”

Shen Yang moved his buttocks, put his left leg on his right leg, changed to a more comfortable position, and then smiled, "I think our request is reasonable." ”

"Oh?"

'Mr. Morse, you should know that before we came to Liverpool, we first went to Chelsea, and the manager of Chelsea at the time, Jose Mourinho, looked at the request and reacted the same way as you. He didn't say no, which meant that it wasn't impossible to talk about, but we just left because I realised that working with Liverpool was the best option. ”

David Morse came interested, "Why?" ”

'I'm sorry I said that, but the truth is that Liverpool have a much smaller chance of winning. Shen Yang said bluntly, "Liverpool and Chelsea have met three times this season, and except for one draw at Anfield, the other two have lost to Chelsea. This shows that there is a certain gap between Liverpool's strength performance and Chelsea, I sum it up like this, no problem, right? ”

David Morse nodded.

Although in his heart, he didn't admit it, but two defeats in three games, and the home game was only 0-0, and three games are very telling.

Liverpool's overall performance in the league is also not good, and compared with the imposing Chelsea, there is indeed a gap in Liverpool's strength performance.

"It is precisely because Liverpool is inferior and public opinion is at a disadvantage that I decided to come to Liverpool. There are two idioms in Huaxia, one is called 'icing on the cake', which means 'adding flowers to the beautiful brocade fabric', and the other is called 'sending charcoal in the snow', which means 'sending charcoal to people on a snowy day to keep warm', which are two diametrically opposed meanings, if we choose Chelsea, then it is 'icing on the cake', and choosing Liverpool is 'sending charcoal in the snow'. Am I right? ”

David Morse nodded again.

"It's definitely a lot more difficult for us to help Liverpool beat Chelsea, if it's at Chelsea, these conditions can be discussed, but here, I don't think there's anything to talk about, if Liverpool can beat Chelsea and win the title, these conditions are nothing, otherwise Liverpool will only have to pay a million euros. In fact, that would mean our failure, and we came to Europe for more than just a million euros. ”

Shen Yang clasped his arms as he spoke, staring at David Morse, waiting for his decision.

David Morse thought about it for a long time.

Morse is a businessman, but also a 'second generation businessman', his initial property was provided by his father, but after inheriting the family property, his business is actually a bit of a failure, in recent years, the Morse family's fortune has been shrinking, he knows that he is definitely not successful.

Now the two sides are talking about cooperation, but in fact, it is also a gambling transaction.

First of all, let's be sure, how many chances does Liverpool have of beating Chelsea without the help of the 'Sheep Football Training Team'?

Although Morse trusts Benitez very much, it is difficult for a woman to cook without rice, the strength of Liverpool's squad, and the gap between Chelsea is obvious, the two sides have been passive in three meetings, and when they arrive in Istanbul, there is little chance of beating Chelsea head-on.

So if with the help of the 'Sheep Football Training Team', every player can perform better, and the chances of winning will be much greater, and those conditions are nothing in comparison.

In the end, Morse made a decision, "Okay, I promise you, I hope your training can really help Liverpool!" ”

Shen Yang stood up with a smile and took the initiative to stretch out his hand, "Happy cooperation!" ”

David Morse also got up and held out his hand.

The two held hands together.

After Shen Yang and Wang Jian left, Michael Edwards couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Morse, why did you agree to those requests?" That's too harsh, and if we win the championship, it's a share of the accolades to them, and they're asking for a share of the prize money......"

"Honor? No! Honor belongs to Liverpool, and it can only belong to Liverpool! "They don't need honor, they ask for it, they just want to do publicity." Also, on the other hand, if we lose the game, we get nothing. ”

Michael Edwards nodded, "Indeed, it's all that counts to win. ”

The Melwood training base is built between Derby and Liverpool in the west and has been the home base of Liverpool's first team since 50 years ago.

The place originally belonged to St. Francis Savios as a regional school pitch where two chaplains, Mellin and Woodlock, had been spending time teaching children to play football, and they were the founders of the pitch, so it was named Melwood.

In the turn of the century 2000, Liverpool FC finally decided to prepare for a major revamp of the training ground, and determined that the Melwood training base would continue to be used by Liverpool without the need to invest in a new venue.

The facilities at the Melwood Training Facility include a press room, staff offices for managers and coaches, a small spa pool for players who have been injured on the team, and a large gym for players to observe their muscles.

The base has a number of standard courts, an international high-tech main training ground, fully equipped with drainage and sprinkler irrigation, and equipped with lighting facilities. There are also two state-of-the-art lawn football pitches, which are on a par with Anfield.

Ten minutes before the afternoon training session, the Liverpool players were already on the pitch and most of the players were warming up by passing the ball to each other.

Stephen Gerrard and Sammy Hyypia are an old pair, not that they are very old, Gerrard is only 25 years old and in the prime of his playing years, and Hyypia is a 32-year-old veteran, and the two are the core players of Liverpool's midfield.

The teamwork between the two in the game is crucial to Liverpool's counter-attacking efficiency, so the two often practice passing together.

Hyypia pushed the ball over, approached and said, "Steven, do you know that a new training team is coming in the afternoon?" ”

Gerrard met the ball with a big foot, pumped the ball in the direction of the goal, the football flew away from the post and flew out of the bottom line, he seemed to shake his head in disappointment, and looked at Hyypia, "I know, Michael told me just now, it is the team that trained for Manchester United before, and it is said to be a team from China." ”

"Huaxia? It's a distant and mysterious country. Hyypia sighed.

"yes, I haven't heard of football there, but it would be nice to be able to train for Manchester United." Gerald said as he wiped his sweat.

"I hope so." "I've heard that the club spends a lot of money on it. ”

"How much?"

"At least a million euros, that team is only responsible for training until the final."

Gerrard's mouth grew up, a little incredulous, "A million euros? It's only nine days until the race, right? ”

"Eight days to be exact, we still need to go to Turkey in advance."

"That's too much of a compliment. How many people are in this training team? Gerald couldn't help but ask in detail.

"Seven, like? Eight? I don't know, even if there are ten people, eight days of training charge 1 million euros, their weekly salary is more than 100,000 euros! Hyypia smiled self-deprecatingly, "Twice as much as my salary." ”

Gerard also smiled, "But I'm really starting to look forward to what a training team with such a high fee will be capable of." ”

"I'm looking forward to it, too."

The news quickly spread throughout the team, and all the players at the training ground began to talk about it, the key was not that there was any training, they all felt that the fee was a bit too much of a compliment.

They're big stars!

But in the entire Liverpool team, even Gerrard, the highest salary, has a weekly salary of less than 100,000 pounds, which is almost equivalent to 120,000 euros.

On a European scale, they are already the highest paid people.

Those singers and actors also earn very well, but they don't get salaries, but contracts, and there is no comparison between the two sides.

Soon they also confirmed the news.

With the arrival of several assistant coaches to assist in training, everyone confirmed the news, and to say that the players in the whole team only treated it as a gossip, and it had nothing to do with them how the other party cooperated with the club.

Several of the assistant coaches were a little resentful.

Liverpool's training work is their job, and most of their annual salaries are only 200,000 to 400,000 pounds, and the other party only comes for a week and takes away a million euros? What is their job compared to?

Several assistant coaches have a bit of hatred, they are more like the players to see what the other party is capable of, and they can get so much training money.

Finally, Michael Edwards walked into the training ground, Wang Jian, Wang Minghao and others were behind him, and Shen Yang and Chairman Morse walked in the back.

As soon as the group entered the training ground, they immediately attracted all the attention.

Several assistant coaches greeted him.

Michael Edwards introduced, he said the names of several assistant coaches, and introduced Shen Yang, and then Wang Minghao helped to introduce in turn, after a pleasantry, the afternoon training was time, and the assistant coach was busy arranging training.

Shen Yang and his entourage first took a look around the training base and familiarized themselves with the environment.

Along the way, Michael Edwards was very enthusiastic and helped introduce every facility at the base, and Shen Yang was still behind him, but he was not only David Morse, but also an assistant coach, 46-year-old Sammy Lee.

Sammy Lee played for Liverpool as a young man, then turned coaching after retiring and has been working at Liverpool ever since, as is his hometown.

As a very good former professional player, Sammy Lee has his own experience in training and games, and he is also the most dissatisfied with Shen Yang and his party among several assistant coaches.

Sammy Lee didn't believe in any 'state training', and began to inquire about training along the way, at first Shen Yang only dealt with a few words, and then David Morse also cared, and Shen Yang began to talk about training formally.

"We provide professional athletes with the healthiest training methods so that they can become more relaxed after training. The human body affects the mind, and the relaxation of the body will also make the body and mind healthier, based on the basic theory, we will develop a special training plan for each player to keep them in shape......"

In the professional field, Shen Yang can say a lot of things, and the group has gone all the way, and he has also said all the way.

There are a lot of things in it that Sammy Lee doesn't understand, and so do the others, but they can't find a problem with what they can understand.

This also made David Morse, Sammy Lee and others realize Shen Yang's knowledge.

After a circle around the training base, it was already forty minutes later, and several people returned to the first-team training ground, Shen Yang asked the others to come back first, and he and Wang Jian stayed to watch Liverpool's training.

Liverpool are preparing for the Champions League final, but the general training is still focused on keeping the players in shape, and the training at the beginning of the afternoon is only for the players to pass the ball to each other, and then attack and defend at half-time.

The whole training process is also not very technical.

At about half past three, they began to conduct tactical training, and it was only at this time that Shen Yang met Liverpool coach Benitez.

Benitez walked to the pitch and said hello to Michael Edwards, and when he saw Shen Yang and Wang Jian next to him, his eyes flashed with doubt.

"This is Shen, this is the king." Michael Edwards introduced the two and then helped, "This is the manager, Mr. Benitez. ”

"Hello, I'm Rafael Benitez." Benitez seemed to have finally reacted, he stretched out his hand towards Shen Yang and said, "Mr. Morse told me that you are welcome to help Liverpool with training. ”

Shen Yang shook hands with him, "You're welcome, this is a cooperation." ”

"So when does your work start?"

"Tomorrow morning."

Benitez nodded and walked straight away to the court.

Michael Edwards smiled wryly, "Shen, don't worry, Mr. Benitez has always been like this, he is not very good at interpersonal communication. ”

"It's okay, geniuses always have character." Shen Yang said with a smile.

Edwards suddenly said, "Speaking of which, Shen, I think you are also a genius, and you are stronger than ordinary geniuses, so what special character do you have?" ”

"Me?"

Shen Yang thought for a long time and said with a wry smile, "I still can't think of it, maybe this should be commented on by others." ”

"That's right."

The two joked that the Liverpool players had already started tactical training.
