4. Warm-up matches for the new season
Not long after Qiu Ze returned to Liverpool, Liverpool's official website released the news that the team and Qiu Ze had completed the contract renewal, as for Qiu Ze's weekly salary, Liverpool did not announce it, but they announced the number of years and liquidated damages for Qiu Ze's contract renewal.
Liverpool FC renewed Qiu Ze's contract for two years, which means that Qiu Ze's contract with Liverpool was renewed until 2011, and at the same time, Qiu Ze's current liquidated damages are 100 million euros.
As soon as the news came out, the fans of countless teams sighed, they knew that Qiu Ze had left them and would not come to their team, which was a pity. Especially the fans of Real Madrid and Chelsea, and the most pitiful of all are the fans of Real Madrid.
There are a lot of stars associated with them this summer, and it's very powerful. At first, it was Cristiano 61 Ronaldo, at that time almost everyone thought that Cristiano 61 Ronaldo would definitely join Real Madrid, and then Kaka, and then Zuihou was Qiu Ze.
The names of superstars stimulated their nerves and made them excited, but in the end they were overjoyed, Zuihou did not come, but they were about to lose some stars, which made Real Madrid fans angry, they were not deceived by Calderón, and a lot of Real Madrid fans have begun to chant Calderón to get out of class.
At this time, Real Madrid's Brazilian star Robinho is clamoring to leave Real Madrid, he is not willing to stay at Real Madrid, and at this time, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City in the Premier League are very interested in him.
These two clubs are not short of money, there is money! They are also bound to win Robinho, which makes Real Madrid fans even more unhappy.
However, it doesn't matter what happens to Liverpool, now that Liverpool's transfer door is closed, they already have a full squad, and they won't be attracting people anymore for the time being. At this time, the Liverpool club also gave the whole team a salary increase.
However, the players' salary increase is not very large, which is within the range of Liverpool club's acceptance, and Liverpool's players can also be satisfied, so a storm has disappeared, which is a good thing for Liverpool in the new season, a haode start.
By this time, Fernando 61 Torres also had a raise, and his weekly salary rose to 100,000 pounds, making him the third highest salary in the team. Gerrard, on the other hand, did not get a raise because of his loyalty to Liverpool, and at this time, he did not argue for a raise at the club, after all, he had not been raised for long.
Of course, Gerrard also knows that Qiu Ze's salary is higher than him, but he can accept it, although Qiu Ze has not been in Liverpool for a long time, but Qiu Ze's performance and contribution to Liverpool, Gerrard sees it, Qiu Ze takes the highest salary in the team, and he is convinced.
After dealing with these things, the Liverpool team began to concentrate before the season, they have to prepare for the new season, the new season Liverpool team has a very heavy task, they have the UEFA Super Cup, the English Community Shield, the English League Cup, the FA Cup, the Premier League, the Champions League and the Shijie Club Cup to play.
It's a very busy schedule and a very heavy task, so Liverpool have to be well prepared, otherwise they will be dragged down to death by the schedule of the new season, and when the time comes, there will be no results, and then it will be troublesome.
The new game is a heavy task and the pressure on the coaching staff and players is very high, so he has to prepare seriously. In the first half month of the team's concentration, Liverpool have been recovering and training on the tactics of the new season.
Because Liverpool has gone a lot of people this summer, and a lot of people have been introduced, the main lineup has changed a lot, so the team's tactics will also change accordingly, although the change is not big, but it will take a certain amount of time to pinch the type.
The changes in the midfield of Liverpool in the new season are actually not very big, the biggest change is in the backfield, especially the backline, Liverpool's main fullbacks on both sides last season Finnan and Reese have left, and two new fullbacks have been introduced this season, and the position of the central defender has also been strengthened, so the strength of this defensive line is the most unremarkable part of the Liverpool people now.
So, there's a lot of training for this area, and the new players are working very hard, they know what kind of team they're joining, it's a European champion, and if they can't give it their all, they're likely to sit on the bench on the bench, or even sit in the stands.
The players worked very hard, so it worked out very well. However, this is just to practice and see, so soon Liverpool's warm-up for the new season began, and this summer, Liverpool did not have any Asian travel or anything.
This summer, Liverpool's main task is to grind in the squad, and they won't go too far. But they still have to participate in some commercial competitions, they are the new European champions, and it is not foolish to have this title and not use it?
Liverpool wants to make a profit in the pre-season commercial game, at least to get back a little money, isn't it, Liverpool has spent a lot this summer, what to bring in and what to renew or something, that doesn't cost money?
Liverpool went to participate in several commercial games, and the performance was up and down, but after all of them were accepted, Liverpool's manager Benitez knew that this quality of the game could not test Liverpool's strength and results at all, so he arranged a warm-up match at the airport with more weight.
First of all, Liverpool faced the Bundesliga Hamburg team at their home stadium, Hamburg is a very strong team, although they lost Kompany and Van der Vaart this season, but their strength is still there, which is a very good opponent for Liverpool.
In the first half of this game, Liverpool sent a full main lineup, and in the second half of the game, most of the main players were replaced, Liverpool showed a lot of positive things in this game, their attack was sharper, and the defense was more solid, but there were still a lot of problems, that is, the cooperation was not very tacit, and Arshavin has not yet integrated into Liverpool's system.
Liverpool still have a long way to go, but Liverpool still won 2-1 against Hamburg.
After the warm-up against Hamburg, Liverpool welcomed Turkish powerhouse Galatasaray, who are also a strong team, and they are regulars in the Champions League.
Liverpool's situation against this opponent is much better than the previous game against Hamburg, but there are still many problems for Benitez to solve. And at this time, a very unpleasant thing happened, that is, Daniel 61 Agg, this guy was injured again, at least for two months.
In other words, Daniel 61 Ag is determined to miss the August game of the new Premier League season. The new Premier League season kicks off on 15 August, with Arsenal and West Bromwich Albion kicking off the opening game, while Liverpool play the day after against Roy Keane's Black Cats Sunderland.
Liverpool have a total of three Premier League games in August, so Daniel 61 will miss the first three games of the new season before it starts.
This is definitely not good news for Liverpool, however, they have already thought about it this summer, adding to the centre-back position, so it should not be too serious at the moment and should be able to sustain it.
Of course, at this time, Liverpool's backline can't afford to make any mistakes, otherwise, Liverpool's backline will be stretched.
Against Galatasaray, Arshavin suddenly exploded, this guy gave two assists in this game, and he also scored a goal, which was Arshavin's most beautiful game since joining Liverpool.
This game also made the Liverpool coaching staff and Liverpool fans have more expectations for Arshavin, and they also think that bringing in Arshavin is definitely a very correct signing.
Liverpool then found two local amateur teams in England to warm up, which was all about allowing Liverpool's players to build up their confidence more quickly, and in these two games, Liverpool played very high, both of which were big wins.
However, there is nothing scrutinizing about this and there is no problem with Liverpool in this game, which does nothing but give Liverpool confidence to do so.
By this time, the new league season was getting closer and closer, and the Liverpool team was more cautious.
The Premier League is the oldest of Europe's top five leagues, and by this time, it has not been long since teams from other leagues have been concentrated. That's the biggest difference between players who play in England and players in other leagues.
Before the start of the new season, Liverpool has two warm-up games, and after these two warm-up games, Liverpool will usher in an official match of the new season, that is, the English Community Shield, which is equivalent to the English Super Cup.
Although this game is still a warm-up game in terms of the nature of the game, it is clear that Liverpool will not give up, and they have won the championship.
Before that, Liverpool still have two warm-up games to play, and this time Liverpool will face a strong Roma team. Yes, it's Roma in Italy.
This warm-up game should be regarded as the highest standard game in Liverpool's warm-up games this season, and the Roma team is also the main player in this game, and they also attach great importance to this game. Roma's defense did give Liverpool a lot of problems in this game, and at one point they couldn't find the direction of attack.
It wasn't until after the second half that Liverpool broke the deadlock on the pitch with a long-range shot from Qiu Ze. A few minutes later, however, Roma captain Totti returned the colour with a heavy shot.
After the draw, there were many substitutions, and in the end Liverpool and Roma were tied 2-2.
After this game, Liverpool ushered in a warm-up match for their new season, and their opponents were Espanyol in Spain, and the Liverpudlians performed very well in this game, winning comfortably 4-1 against them.
In this way, the warm-up matches of Liverpool's new season are all over, and the next thing is the Community Shield game that kicks off the new season.
