Chapter 18: Liverpool's Storm of Youth

Nan Xiao had guessed that Henry would definitely ask this question before he came, so he had been prepared for it a long time ago. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

'As long as you can meet my requirements, I will try to bring Liverpool back into the Champions League.' Nan Xiao replied.

'Jurgen Klopp told me the same thing two years ago, but my team is currently sixth in the league and almost certain to miss out on next season's Champions League.

"I understand what you mean, Mr. Henry, otherwise if I don't bring the team to the Champions League next season, you can unilaterally and unconditionally terminate our contract, and you only need to pay me half of my salary, what do you think?"

"I can't refuse your offer." Henry said.

'Mr Thierry, if I can get the team back into the Champions League next season, I have one more condition. Nan Xiao looked at the old fox Henry sitting opposite with sharp eyes and said.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"I want to raise the team's wage budget." Nan Xiao said bluntly.

"By how much?"

"£300,000."

"No problem, I can accept this." Henry thought for a moment, and happily agreed.

The two sides negotiated the terms and initialled a contract, because the contract between Nan Xiao and Sunderland FC has not been terminated, so they cannot sign a formal contract with legal force for the time being.

After the meeting with Henry, Nan Xiao and You Lu found a nearby bar for a drink.

"Nan Xiao, what kind of adjustments do you plan to make after accepting Liverpool?" Yulu seemed to be intrigued by the question, as the look of curiosity was evident in her eyes.

"Youth Storm, I plan to rebuild the team from this idea." Nan Xiao said without hesitation, it seemed that he had already thought about this question a long time ago.

"The storm of youth ......" You Lu muttered softly when she heard this, "Liverpool does have such a development foundation, Firmino is 25 years old, Mane is 24 years old, Coutinho is 24 years old, Wijnaldum is 26 years old, Henderson is 26 years old, Lovren is 27 years old, Matip is 25 years old, Klein is 26 years old, Origi is 21 years old, Gian is 23 years old, Moreno is 24 years old, Kalius is 21 years old, and Markovic is 23 years old on loan......" You Lu counted Liverpool's main players under the age of 27 and the regular substitute players one by one.

"You know a lot about Liverpool's players!" Nan Xiao said in surprise.

"Of course, I'm a professional football commentator, of course I know the team very well, and my boyfriend is a big fan of Liverpool." You Lu stuck out her tongue and said mischievously.

"Haha, if I were your boss, I would definitely give you a raise." Nan Xiao gently pinched You Lu's nose and said.

"If you want to take the route of the storm of youth, how do you make specific personnel adjustments?" You Lu continued to ask.

"There are a couple of players that I'm definitely selling." Nan Xiao said.

"Oh? Who are they? ”

"Yes......" Nan Xiao's words were just about to come out, when he suddenly squinted at You Lu and asked, "If I say it, I won't leak the secret, right?"

"You mean I'm going to leak secrets? Hmph, if you don't like to say it, you can not say it. You Lu tilted her head when she heard this, and said with a pretended to be angry.

"Just kidding, how could I be afraid that you would leak secrets, hehe." Seeing this, Nan Xiao hurriedly coaxed.

"Then you don't want to say it quickly?" You Lu pouted.

"That's it, that's it." Nan Xiao coughed lightly, "My current list for sale has Sturridge, Dennis Innes, Lucas and Moreno. ”

"Sturridge and Denian are due to frequent injuries?"

"Selling Dennis is all about what you said, and his two ligament injuries are going to have a very serious impact on my career later in life, so I'm not going to spend energy on him."

"What about Sturridge?"

"Sturridge also has a physical consideration, but it's more because he doesn't match the overall tactical style I'm trying to build."

"You mean he's too sticky?"

"Well, so to speak." Nan Xiao nodded.

"What about Lucas and Moreno?"

"The reason for both of them is basically the same, which is to handle the ball casually and make mistakes too easily, which I absolutely cannot tolerate."

"If that's the case, I'd think Lovren could leave."

'But at least Lovren has been world-class for more than half of the time, and I need that guy on the bench.

"So Lovren is already a substitute in your mind, which means you're going to buy a centre-back in the summer, is there a target now?"

"Do you want to talk about this too?" Nan Xiao asked embarrassedly.

"You can do it yourself." You Lu raised her eyebrows and said.

"Okay." Nan Xiao completely defeated her, "I have three targets for the time being, one is Ginter in Dortmund, and the other is Jonatan in Bayer Leverkusen. Tower, one is the Marquinhos of Paris Saint-Germain. ”

"These players are all in the transfer market, are you sure you can bring them into the team?"

"To be honest, I'm not sure." Nan Xiao replied helplessly.

"Actually, I can recommend a player to you, the cost performance is not bad, and the difficulty of introducing is not very great." You Lu said with a grin.

"Oh? Tell me about it. Nan Xiao was also a little curious about You Lu's words.

"So, how about you guess a few conditions?"

"Okay, you can say it." Nan Xiao gladly accepted You Lu's "challenge".

"The first condition, the Dutch." You Lu stretched out a finger and shook it in front of Nan Xiao.

"Van Dijk?" Nan Xiao immediately asked.

“Nonono。” Yulu shook her head.

"Laporte?" Nan Xiao asked again.

“Still.not。” Yulu shook her head again.

"What about the second condition?"

"'92."

"Looks like I need a third condition." Nan Xiao thought for a moment and said with a wry smile.

"You've disappointed me too much." You Lu pursed her lips and said, "Playing for a club in the Eredivisie. ”

"I see!" Nan Xiao suddenly slapped his thigh, "I always bought him when I played live 2016 before!" ”

"Tell me who it is, then?"

"Wiltman of Ajax, right?" Nan Xiao said confidently.

"Well, not bad, I thought you never cared about the Eredivisie?"

"But do you think Ajax will be able to defend easily?"
