Chapter 15: Returning from Vacation

On 8 July 2017, the entire Liverpool first team returned from a more than month-long holiday from around the world to the club's home stadium at Anfield, about a mile from Cockdale train station. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although he has been in the team for more than a month, this is the first time he has stepped on the turf of Anfield as the club's manager, and the last time he has been here was back last season when he led his former club Sunderland to a thrilling 4-3 win over Liverpool, and in that game it was Italian Fabio who has a strong connection to the Liverpool team who scored the winner in the final moments for Sunderland. Borini.

By 8.55am, almost all the players had assembled near the halfway line at Anfield, and the comfortable assistant coach Bouco had also called out for him before Nanshaw arrived.

"Henderson."

"Here." The double captain of the England national team and Liverpool FC, Jordan. Henderson replied loudly as he stood in the first row.

"Milner."

"Here." The team's vice-captain, James Brown. Milner's voice was noticeably lower, which also had something to do with his low-key personality.

"Lallana."

"Here."

"Coutinho."

"Here."

……

Bouáko currently has 22 players in his roster, but it also includes three players who are likely to leave the team in the next period, such as 18-year-old right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold, and if Henrichs' negotiations are finally reached, then the homegrown youngster is likely to be relegated to the Under-21 team for another season; Kalius, a young goalkeeper brought in by German coach Jurgen Klopp from Mainz in the Bundesliga last season, could also face the possibility of being loaned to other teams in the new season, because the German's performances last season did not make Nanxiao believe that he has the ability to be the team's main goalkeeper at the moment; As for the current future in Liverpool, the most gloomy is Moreno, not to mention whether Jose Gaya can finally join the team, even if his transfer cannot be completed in the end, Nan Xiao has already chosen a replacement for him, such as Bertrand of Southampton, so Moreno's departure is basically only a matter of time.

"Origi."

"Here." Belgian striker Divock Origi replied with his hands behind his back.

"Lovren."

"Lovren?" Bouco didn't hear the player's response, so he read the player's name again.

"Dejan. Lovren? The Bosnian even pronounced the Croatian centre-back's full name this time.

"Okay, remember being late." Assistant coach Bouko sighed and shook his head, thinking to himself that this Lovren was actually late for the first meeting of the new season.

"Remind everyone that Mr. Henry, the owner of our club, will come to meet with the new coach Coach Nan Xiao in a while, and I hope that everyone can show a good mental outlook and leave a good impression on Mr. Henry and Coach Nan." Boisko said after drawing a "cross" behind the line in the roll call, looking up and talking to the players standing in three rows in front of him.

"Yes, Coach!" Wijnaldum, the Dutchman in the crowd, replied loudly, and his slightly abrupt voice made the other players burst into laughter, and they all turned their eyes on the happy Dutchman, Wijnaldum scratched his head a little embarrassedly when he saw everyone looking at him, and then showed a mouthful of white teeth and smiled sheepishly.

"Okay, okay, don't laugh, Mr. Henry and Coach Nan are here." Boisko said to the players after seeing Nanshaw and Henry walk out of the tunnel from a distance.

And the players also turned around after hearing Bouak's words and aimed at Nan Xiao and Henry, who walked side by side, like all Sunderland players a year ago, these Liverpool players are also very curious about the young Chinese Nan Xiao, although after a season of league games, people's freshness towards Nan Xiao is far less than when he first came to the Premier League, but that is only limited to when he has nothing to do with him, now this Chinese has become his own manager, As a result, the players' curiosity about Nan Xiao has shown a straight upward trend; At the same time, the players are not small in their curiosity about Henry, because the American businessman rarely comes to the club, and Liverpool may be seen as just one of his many businesses, so even players like Coutinho or Jordan Henderson who have been with the club for several seasons can count the number of times they have seen the American owner on two hands.

"Bouak, are the players assembled?" Nan Xiao asked the oncoming assistant coach.

"Except for Lovren, they're all assembled." Boisko replied with a roll call in hand.

"Did he take a leave of absence?" Nan Xiao had already come to the players with Henry at this time, and the players had already put away their laughter, straightened up and stood silently opposite Nan Xiao's three people.

"No time off." Boisko shook his head.

"I know, I'll deal with this later, let's start today's meeting first." Nan Xiao whispered to Boisko.

"Okay." Boisko nodded to Nanxiao.

"Let me introduce you to the owner of our club, John Brown. Mr. Henry. Bouáko turned around and said as he looked at the players who were standing in order.

Henry smiled and nodded to the 21 Liverpool first-team players after Bouak's remarks, and he received thunderous applause from players from all over the world.

"On October 15, 2010, Mr. Henry's New England sports venture capital firm NESV successfully acquired our Liverpool Football Club, after Mr. Henry took over our club...... "Bosnia-Herzegovina Bouako then spent about 10 minutes or so describing some of Henry's experiences after buying the team.

"I'd like to introduce you to our manager for the new season, although he is only 23 years old now, he has a lot of hard to replicate in him, and last season, the young man from faraway China led Sunderland, who had been battling relegation, to qualify for the Europa League this season, and also beat us 4-3 in the first leg last season, so our boss Mr. Henry also poached him from Sunderland in a fit of rage...... Boisko's humorous words provoked a hearty laugh from the players.

"He's one of the best managers in the English Premier League last season, Nan Shaw!"
