Chapter 66: Sometimes, Giving Up Is Deeper Love...... (The second update, ask for a monthly pass!) )
Even the media didn't expect Chen Yingying to be so ruthless and really take Richards and his agent Lewake to court. Many media pointed out this when commenting on this matter, thinking that Chen Yingying was too ruthless, and if he continued to do this, it is estimated that he would not have friends.
In response, Chen Yingying's press spokesperson Vera responded: "Hero's friends will not say that he is racist, thank you." ”
Anyway, this matter has entered the judicial process, and there is nothing to say about the next, just wait for the court to open.
The media's enthusiasm for the hype of this matter suddenly became much less. Chen Yingying has brought a lot of gimmicks to everyone in the past week or so, but the media can't rely on Chen Yingying to support them for a year, so they have to look for new events.
They quickly found ......
On December 11, after Liverpool's 1-0 defeat at home to Queens Park Rangers, the Liverpool club officially announced that after friendly negotiations, their contract with Dalglish will officially expire at the end of the season!
The news not only shook English football, but also shocked many Liverpool fans.
Dalglish, as the "king" of Anfield, has always enjoyed a very high status in the hearts of Liverpool fans.
He came out again last season when Liverpool was at the end of his rope and was ordered to lead the team to relegation, which won him the love and adoration of most Liverpool fans.
I didn't expect such a beloved head coach to be fired?
Many people didn't react to the news at first, and many people thought that Liverpool's official website had been hacked......
But then this news was confirmed by more channels.
Liverpool FC manager Niang. Lu admitted the decision in an interview with reporters: "We made a tough decision, after all, Kenny is our legend. It wasn't an easy decision to let him go......"
He's right, he's put a lot of effort into getting Dalglish out...... It's really not that easy.
Liverpool club owner Chen Xing also issued a handwritten statement, a copy of which was posted on Liverpool's official website. In the statement, Chen Xing thanked Dalglish for his help in Liverpool's most difficult time last season, and he highly praised Dalglish's character.
But whether it is Niang or Chen Xing, no one in the Liverpool club has given an explanation for the reason for Dalglish's dismissal.
Because it doesn't need to be explained.
There is only one reason, and that is that the results of Dalglish's team are so poor......
After a honeymoon period of up to half a season last season, there was a rift between the two sides. From the exposure of Chen Yingying's transfer to the summer transfer encounter, the contradiction between Dalglish and Niang has become more and more serious.
But if he can lead the team to a top-four finish in the league and reach next season's Champions League, he can continue to manage the team.
Dalglish had bad luck.
Suarez was injured and will miss at least two months, while Chen Yingying has been banned for six games for maliciously assaulting Richards. Originally, he thought that at least there was Gerald, who could be on top for a while.
Unexpectedly, in the away game against Fulham, Gerrard, who had not been back from injury for a long time, was injured again...... This time he was infected because of an ankle injury.
And this time he is expected to need to rest for up to half a year, which is undoubtedly bad news for Dalglish.
The 31-year-old has suffered a total of 34 injuries in the last 10 seasons, nine of which have been groin injuries. On March 11 of this year, he said goodbye to the ring due to groin spasm and underwent groin surgery. As a result, at the end of July, Gerald, who had already made a comeback, suffered another groin bacterial infection and had to be admitted to the hospital.
Now he has finally returned from injury, and he has not played a few rounds before he is injured again. Dalglish, who learned the news at the time, even angrily shook off the water bottle in his hand on the sidelines, and the water splashed all over him, and he didn't realize it.
Three of his most trusted players, injured and suspended. He is really a good woman now, and he can't cook without rice.
In this round of the league with Gerrard's injury, Liverpool also lost 0:1 to Fulham. It's four games in a row without a win, and they're still in eighth place because the teams behind them are so far behind......
With the fifteenth round of the league going on, Chen Yingying, Steven Gerrard and Suarez continued to be sidelined, and Dalglish's Liverpool lost another 0-1 at their home stadium, this time against the promoted Queens Park Rangers.
They are still eighth, but Stoke City in ninth place have caught up and are just one point away.
Meanwhile, they are 16 points clear of Premier League leaders Manchester City and nine points clear of fourth-placed Chelsea.
The match against Queens Park Rangers also exposed Dalglish's lack of flexibility in tactics and poor on-the-spot command. The team fell behind at the start of the second half, but Dalglish was slow to come up with a solution to the problem, and he didn't even make the first substitution until the 80th minute, so it was completely unclear what he was thinking.
After the loss, the post-match news media blasted Dalglish's poor coaching and on-the-spot command.
"I've almost never seen Dalglish make a substitution before the 78 minutes of the game! That's his on-the-spot command! ”
'We did have the advantage in the first half, but without Suarez and the hero, our attack was fruitless. We were scored at the start of the second half. It stands to reason that we have almost the entire half of the game to figure it out and solve the problem. Not really! Dalglish is completely indifferent! ”
"Adam. Johnson was put on the bench and moldy, and Kuyt's playing time was also inconsistent, resulting in inconsistent form, so he played as the starting center in these games for the hero, and his performance was terrible...... The problem is not with Kuyt, but with Dalglish. To make way for the people he bought, players like Kuyt were put on the bench...... Henderson didn't play any role on the wing, he was completely invisible on the pitch, and the frequent criticism of him made him lose confidence, but who can he blame? Who insisted on a midfielder on the wing? ”
As the race approached, Dalglish frowned, yelled, and frantically waved his arms in many newspapers.
His performance was interpreted as an image of incompetence against the first at a loss.
Just after the media bombarded the team, Liverpool FC announced Dalglish's decision to leave at the end of the season.
Of course, before announcing this news, the two sides must have communicated a little.
Dalglish was not willing to leave like that, and he wanted to regain success at Liverpool. Since his last Premier League triumph at Blackburn, he has moved on to Newcastle and Celtic, but to no avail.
He was reluctant to go, but the cruel reality was in front of him, and the poor results became the last straw that crushed him.
Chen Xing is also dissatisfied with Dalglish's arbitrariness within the team. It cost the club more than 10 million pounds to buy Adam. Johnson, Dalglish really dared to press him firmly to the bench and in the reserves, and did not give a minute of first-team game time. This leaves Johnson's agent already threatening the club to not give his players a chance to play again by this summer at the latest. Johnson is leaving the team to find another job.
A player who spent the club's fifteen million pounds on a transfer fee but didn't contribute anything to the team is leaving? This, of course, is not allowed.
Chen Xing told Dalglish that the dismissal was not negotiable, and the only difference was whether he would be dismissed now or delayed until the end of the season.
If Dalglish is willing to cooperate, the club will give him another half a season, so that he can lead the team to play this season, no matter what the result is, even if the bamboo basket is empty, and no honor and European qualification have been obtained, the club will admit it. In doing so, Dalglish has a face, at least not a halfway way, and a better look, which can be regarded as a decent farewell, and the club can avoid paying up to 20 million pounds in liquidated damages because it is a mutual agreement between the two parties.
If Dalglish doesn't cooperate, then Chen Xing will fire Dalglish now, and would rather pay him a high contract break fee than let him continue to harm the team. This is why if you don't give me face, then I won't give you face either.
A fierce quarrel broke out between the two sides during the negotiation, but the final result was seen by everyone.
Dalglish chose to back down, giving the reason: "I'm here for Liverpool's good. Because I love Liverpool! More love than all of you! ”
After saying this, the old man walked out of the office with his head held high and proud.
※※※
The Echo, one of Liverpool's most influential local newspapers, did a special feature on Dalglish's dismissal.
Although Dalglish enjoys a high reputation among fans, any reasonable and calm person can see that Dalglish's philosophy is too old and old-fashioned, and it is seriously unsuitable for today's football world.
Many of his tactics, many adjustments, and many arrangements are out of touch with this era, and they all reveal the flavor of the nineties of the last century.
After all, it has been twelve years since he left the position of first-team manager, and it is normal that he cannot keep up with the times.
But the problem is that a giant like Liverpool can't pin their hopes on such a person who is out of touch with the times if they want to revive and rise.
Although everyone has a deep affection for Dalglish, feelings are feelings, and if a club is always about feelings, then nothing has to be done.
At the end, the newspaper's comment sighed: "This fact is cruel, but it proves once again that the legend of the team is not necessarily the savior of the team today." Goodbye, Kenny, we thank you for all you have given to Liverpool, and no one will doubt your love for this club. But sometimes, giving up may be the ...... of love deeper."
