Chen Yingying was not surprised when he heard Chen Xing say that he wanted to buy a team. Anyway, this idea, it is not uncommon for big conglomerates and tycoons to buy a team. Nowadays, everything is exquisite, and it is too common to play with women, so some rich people have started to play football.
Ordinary people who don't have money can only live the addiction of controlling the team in computer games like Football Manager, and rich people can play a real FM.
He thought that the team that Chen Xing bought must be a second-rate team in a second-rate league, maybe it was still a team like League B, Division C, League A and League B. Anyway, in those lower leagues, there are no defects to the teams in financial crisis.
Considering Chen Xing's Chinese identity, it is also possible for him to buy a Chinese team to play.
So he was really startled after hearing the three words that Chen Xing said in an inaudible voice.
He asked, "Which team?" ”
The sound was so loud that it immediately attracted the attention of other people eating in the restaurant. Fortunately, he used Chinese, otherwise the next day there might be rumors in the newspapers of Naples and Italy that "Chen Yingying will also be a mysterious person, suspected of preparing to change jobs......
Chen Xing was taken aback by Chen Yingying's voice.
He almost pounced on Chen Yingying's mouth.
Fortunately, he restrained himself. Because I think that no one else can understand the conversation between them. Whispering is purely a matter of habit - people are saying something more secretive, whether there is anyone around or not, they will subconsciously lower their voice.
"Liverpool." He repeated. Afraid that Chen Yingying didn't hear it clearly, his voice was a little louder.
Chen Yingying stared at Chen Xing, and then laughed: "This joke is really funny, Brother Chen!" ”
He felt that Chen Xing was joking with himself.
If Chen Xing buys a team in Serie A and Serie B to play, he thinks it may be more reliable. What team is Liverpool? It's a wealthy family! Although there have been some downfall in recent years, no matter how down, it is still a wealthy family, as the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.
Is it possible to buy a giant like Liverpool?
Besides, the English are very loyal to their team, can they accept a Chinese as their boss?
In the past, Manchester United was tossed and boiled when it was going to change hands, and many people opposed it. Chen Xing has no official background, and his assets are not as good as Murdoch, so how can he buy Liverpool?
When he thought about it, he felt that Chen Xing was joking when he said that he wanted to buy Liverpool.
"Jokes?" Chen Xing on the other side also smiled. "You think I can't do it?"
Chen Yingying smiled and shook his head: "If you buy a team in the lower league, I think it's completely possible, but Liverpool ......"
Chen Xing nodded: "Why don't we make a bet, hero?" ”
"What bet?"
"If I buy Liverpool, how about you come to Liverpool and play?"
Chen Yingying was stunned for a moment.
The bet was this, somewhat unexpected. And...... That's too much, isn't it?
Seeing Chen Yingying's hesitation, Chen Xing smiled very happily: "What? Cowardly? ”
It's exciting, but it's very useful for single-celled organisms.
Chen Yingying slapped the table.
"Damn! Who's instigated? Who's instigated? He glared at the boss.
"Then let's take a gamble, do you dare?"
"What's not to dare?" Chen Yingying raised his head and said.
"Okay, then it's decided, if I buy Liverpool, you have to agree......" Chen Xing quickly calculated, "Come to Liverpool next season!" ”
Chen Yingying didn't think too much: "As long as you can really buy Liverpool ()." Then he snorted twice, "But I don't think it's possible!" ”
Lu Ang next to him suddenly popped out and said, "Do you want to write a written agreement?" ”
Chen Xing waved his hand: "There's no need, can't I still trust my brother?" ”
Chen Yingying also rolled his eyes: "Lao Tzu is hard to chase after a horse!" ”
Lu Ang was robbed of a sentence by Chen Yingying, but he just smiled and was not angry.
Chen Xing slapped his face, and then picked up the wine glass in his hand: "Okay, let this glass of wine be our witness!" Ha ha! He had a toast with Chen Yingying.
When he had drunk his wine, he said to Luon next to him, "Now you can explain it to the hero, Niang." ”
Chen Yingying was a little puzzled. What to explain? What else is there to explain?
Lu Ang pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose and came out to speak. "In February 2007, two Americans, George . Gillette and Tom. Hicks paid £174 million to buy Liverpool. George. Gillette is the former owner of American Harlem Basketball and now owns Canada's Montreal Canadiens hockey team. Tom. Hicks is the backstage owner of the Texas Rangers in Major League Baseball. It didn't attract much attention at the time, because the deal went smoothly and naturally, Liverpool changed hands. But now Liverpool's two American bosses are in trouble, they are tight on money, and they still owe a debt, so they urgently need to get rid of this big burden, and since April this year, they have announced that Liverpool is open to the world, and anyone who can afford to make them happy can buy Liverpool. Moreover, since it has already been sold once, Liverpool fans are not very resistant to the club changing hands, and even because of the messing around with two American owners, these fans are now eager to have a reliable new owner to bring them new hope. ”
As soon as he introduced this, Chen Yingying understood. He didn't know it before, because he was just a football player, and he didn't necessarily know more about many things in it than an ordinary fan. Manchester United had sold this he knew Liverpool ...... He really doesn't know very well ().
He usually cares about Liverpool, and he still has to play against Liverpool, and he cares about the opponent's lineup, because that is his opponent, and the intensity of his concern is not enough, purely perfunctory. Not to mention who is behind Liverpool.
"Then you ...... now"
Chen Xing nodded: "Yes, we plan to buy Liverpool now!" ”
"This ...... Expensive, right? ”
Chen Xing slapped the slap: "I prepared this number." ”
"Five hundred million?"
"Oh, wrong!" Chen Xing retracted his thumb. "It's £400 million. Llouon will be the overall head of the takeover, and if it goes through, he will also be the general manager of Liverpool FC, and I will be the chairman and chairman of the club. ”
Seeing his confident appearance, Chen Yingying suddenly regretted that he had made such a simple bet...... Damn, I'm not really going to play in Liverpool, am I? Although it is said to be a wealthy family, it is just a down-and-out wealthy family...... And it's been years!
Seeing the hesitant look on his face, Chen Xing smiled: "What? Regretted it? ”
Of course, Chen Yingying, who was told the central matter, could not admit that he regretted it, so he continued to die: "Who regrets it?" Nothing! How can you say that it is also a giant team, and you want to buy it for 400 million? Dream on! ”
When he said this, Lu Ang really frowned beside him, obviously thinking about the acquisition of Liverpool, judging from his expression, I am afraid that this matter is really not as optimistic as Chen Xing said.
Seeing Lu Ang's appearance, Chen Yingying smiled as if he had already won.
Chen Xing ignored him and diverted the topic, everyone talked about football, women, and making money, and in general, this meal was quite happy ().

Chen Xing really just came to meet the little brother of his own family who he hadn't seen for many days, had a meal here, left the next day, and sent a text message to Chen Yingying before leaving, telling him to pay attention to the news and wait for the good news of his victory.
"You're welcome to Liverpool then, haha!"
His triumphant face was vividly displayed through this text message, and Chen Yingying seemed to be able to see Chen Xing looking up to the sky and laughing in front of him, as if he had a chance to win.
Chen Yingying rolled his eyes and pursed his lips. He didn't understand the capital operation of this club, but he felt that things should not go as smoothly as Chen Xing said. Because one thing can go wrong...... Then something is bound to go wrong!
Of course, because he participated in a gamble, which is closely related to his future prospects, Chen Yingying still has to understand it in order to know it.
It is said that a Middle Eastern consortium and the American chaebol are interested in Liverpool, and some people say that Zhu Jun, the boss of Shanghai Shenhua in China, is also going to buy Liverpool, and this matter has attracted a lot of attention from the Chinese media......
Zhu Jun knows this person Chen Yingying, because he used to play World of Warcraft. The agent of this game in the mainland was taken down by Zhu Jun...... At that time, as a qualified Warcraft player, he didn't scold Zhu Jun less. As long as the server has a card, it must be Zhu Jun who is using the server......
Zhu Jun also wants to buy Liverpool? Chen Yingying pouted, just hyping himself, this person is quite good at hyping himself. Compared with Zhu Jun, he still preferred to believe in Chen Xing.
But what kind of Middle East consortium and American plutocracy are also very strong......
That's right, how can Brother Chen buy Liverpool so easily? Do you really think that buying Liverpool is as easy as swiping your card in a luxury store?
A few days later, he saw the news of "Chinese billionaires joining the battle for Liverpool", and the Chinese billionaire who appeared in the news was his eldest brother Chen Xing ().
※※※
Chen Xing's acquisition of Liverpool is not mentioned for the time being, although this matter may be related to Chen Yingxing's future prospects, but it is still very early, saying that there will be no news until October. I can't rush it.
His main business is still to play football.
Pre-season training this season is even more tiring than last season, as Mazzar is already looking to do well on both fronts, especially in the Champions League. The league is guaranteed to qualify for next season's Champions League, and the Champions League is of course going as far as possible.
In order to be able to cope with high-intensity two-front combat, it is necessary to be a husband in terms of physical reserves. Therefore, the intensity of this physical training is particularly high, and the time is extended by a few days. Make sure the players are in a high level of fitness after the start of the season and for as long as possible.
After playing a few warm-up matches, Chen Yingying showed excellent competitive form in these games.
This made Mazari happy.
Raul is still adapting to Italian football and Napoli football. However, after all, they have a deep foundation, which is different from when Chen Yingying, a stunned young man, joined the team, so he also scored two goals in the warm-up game, and his performance was not bad.
Raul and Kristo are Mazzal's two most important signings this summer, and the other signings are mainly to increase the depth of the bench, so there is nothing to introduce. The media also focused on Raul, and even Crishitto was left out in the cold, as for the other players who joined the team, who cares......

If the qualifiers are also counted as part of the Champions League, in fact, the Champions League has been started since June 29 this year, but Napoli's Champions League qualification will not start until August 17 ().
On 17 August, Napoli took on their qualifying rivals Werder Bremen away.
The qualifying matches are also decided by drawing lots.
As the fourth in Serie A, the qualifying round was drawn to the Bundesliga's strong team Werder Bremen, which was a bit surprising. However, Napoli is not surprised at all, because their opponents are UEFA...... For this reason, it's not uncommon to draw any kind of opponent. If Barcelona also need to qualify, then Napoli may be able to draw Barcelona.
Without Chen Yingxing, without Cassano Napoli on the road, Raul started the game, played 60 minutes, and his performance was average. Only Hamsik scored an away goal for the team, and Napoli lost 3-1 at Werder Bremen.
This result made many Napoli fans nervous. The opponent took a two-goal lead in the first leg and returned to his home stadium, which may not be easy to play......
I thought it would be easy for Napoli to pass the qualifying test, but I didn't think that the first leg of the game would make the whole Napoli team have a big heel.
For a moment, a tense air filled the sky over the city of Naples.
“…… It seems that Mazari doesn't have to think about when Chen Yingying will come back, Chen Yingying may have to be banned until next season......"
"The heroless Napoli at the Weser Stadium, home of Werder Bremen, did not perform as well as last season's elimination of Real Madrid and pushed Barcelona to a level of scrambling, almost killing the suspense of the opponent, if it weren't for Hamsik's away goal......"
Chen Yingying was banned from this game, so he watched it from his own home, with Cabrera as an accompaniment. Chen Yingying watched the whole game very excitedly, and kept slapping his thighs and swearing.
However, his swear words did not help the team, and Napoli were cornered.
