347 Debt Crisis!

readx;

After the Champions League semi-finals came out, although the outside world is generally optimistic that Liverpool can have the last laugh in this year's Champions League. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but the whole Liverpool team has kept a very low profile.

Whether it is the team's coach Rafael Benitez or several of the team's stars Chen Xi, Gerrard and Owen, they all said in interviews that it is still very difficult to win the final Champions League title.

As a "person who has come over", Chen Xi remembers that this year's Champions League champion was originally Porto. Magic Bird also became the hottest coach in European football after winning the League Cup and the Champions League for two consecutive years.

It's just that after Chen Xi crossed over, Porto's League Cup championship was snatched away by Chen Xi and Tottenham.

Is it going to steal Uncle Magic Bird's championship again this year? Wouldn't that be unkind? When Chen Xi thought of this possible surname, a wicked smile appeared on his face.

Although it is feared that if he steals the title of Magic Bird again, it may affect the future development of this future coach who is second to none in world football. But Chen Xi will not be merciful because of this.

The semi-final matchups do not need to be drawn again, and the semi-final matchups are decided at the time of the quarter-final draw ceremony.

The other qualifier in the same semi-zone as Liverpool is Monaco in Ligue 1!

In Chen Xi's impression, in the summer of 04 before he crossed over, the Champions League final was played between Monaco and Porto. These two teams were also the biggest dark horses in the Champions League that year.

Now, Chen Xi's arrival has brought Liverpool to the top four, and he naturally will not let such history repeat itself!

In Chen Xi's opinion, since he has been reborn, there is no reason for this world to continue according to the original trajectory. Instead, we should let history develop in our favor!

After Liverpool and Monaco reached the semi-finals, Chen Xi also spoke on the phone with his team-mate Morientes at Tottenham last season. Morientes returned to Real Madrid after his loan spell at Tottenham Hotspur, but he was not confirmed by Queiroz, and the Portugal boss said that he would only have to compete with Portillo for a substitute striker position at Real Madrid.

This made Morientes choose to go on loan again, compared to the last loan trip for Tottenham, this time Morientes still performed very well after the loan to Monaco. It was his outstanding performance that led Monaco to the last four.

In the scorer list, Morientes is also ranked behind Chen Xi and is the second scorer in the Champions League.

Of course, the gap between them is huge, and Morientes wants to surpass Chen unless he can pull off a miracle in the final two or three matches.

On the phone, Morientes instead released "cruel words", he said that since he can't snatch Chen Xi's Champions League Golden Boot, then steal Liverpool's qualification for the final!

Although they were all joking, Chen Xi did not back down, and strongly said that it must be Liverpool who advanced to the final!

If you break into the finals, you will also go to win the runner-up, and I will definitely help you "revenge" when I enter the finals! After hanging up the phone, Chen Xi thought in his heart-

The 03-04 season has come to an end, and at this stage, most teams are making their final push in the league. The relegation team is desperately trying to grab points and relegation, and the top teams are also fighting to the death for the championship and European qualification. Some of the teams that have run out of desire are already looking forward to this summer's holidays, or the European Championships!

But for Liverpool, they ended the season as the busiest team!

The FA Cup is in the final, the Champions League is in the semi-finals, and the league needs to continue to win to stabilize the team's lead!

It can be said that in the last month or so, every game is crucial for the Liverpool team and cannot be lost!

The FA Cup is out of mind for the time being, with the final due to be played at the end of May.

The league and Champions League are Liverpool's top priorities of late.

Rafa Benitez has already spoken out about some of the team's key players, and at this critical juncture, they will be given much less time to rest. He also hopes that the players can reduce the consumption of energy off the field and devote all their energy to this decisive moment!

Regarding Benitez's call, Chen Xi also honestly complied with it.

It stands to reason that after two fierce battles with Real Madrid, Chen Xi must go out to relax. But during this time he was very honest.

Due to the three consecutive matches a week, Chen Xi did not have time to return to London. Cheryl and Hazel were also busy with their own work and didn't have time to come to Chen Xi.

Therefore, these days, in his spare time, Chen Xi stays at home honestly, and occasionally goes to the University of Liverpool to follow Zhang Keyi and Carolina to improve the food.

Of course, after eating, Chen Xi didn't forget to find Carolina to PK the live situation.

The last time he lost to a girl, Chen Xi, who has always been proud, was very devastated, so he also practiced his skills hard, just to find Karolina to take revenge.

After eating a few more deflated meals, Chen Xi can now finally make an equal deal with Carolina.

Originally, for Zhang Keyi, watching Chen Xi being ravaged by Carolina was her greatest pleasure since she was born. Now that Chen Xi has been ravaged less and less, this gloating Nizi feels bored.

Chen Xi often played live with Carolina, taking the opportunity to gradually shorten the distance between the two. Although there is no progress between the two of them, the ambiguous atmosphere is very obvious.

On April 9, Liverpool also ushered in a new round of league games. The opponent was Team Charlton.

With this round of fixtures, there are only six rounds left in the league. This also made Liverpool fans more and more excited, as they felt as if they were about to witness the first Premier League trophy in the club's history!

Although Liverpool have won the most top-flight titles in England's history, they have been a blank slate in the history of the Premier League. It also makes them often ridiculed by their sworn enemies Manchester United!

Seeing that Alex Ferguson is leading Manchester United to the goal of "surpassing Liverpool" as he said at the beginning of his tenure, Liverpool fans can only be anxious.

This season, Reds fans finally see the team's hopes of winning the title, how can they not be excited?

Of course, Liverpool's media are also reminding fans not to rejoice too soon. Because in the last few rounds of the league, Liverpool still need to talk to Newcastle, Arsenal and Manchester United, three traditional powerhouses, and the dialogue with Arsenal and Manchester United is even more away from home. A four-point lead is not enough to guarantee a championship.

Even so, Liverpool fans still have a lot of faith in the team.

This is not difficult to find from the almost unsuspenseful game between Liverpool and Charlton Athletic, and the stands at Anfield Stadium are still crowded!

In the end, the nearly 60,000 home fans cheered on. Liverpool won the game cleanly 2-0. Chen Xi also scored his 39th league goal of the season, one step closer to the all-time record of 41 goals! ――

Just as Liverpool are riding high on all fronts, fans are waiting for the club to produce a brilliant season.

As the "enemy" in the eyes of Liverpudlians, The Sun once again chose to stand on the opposite side of Liverpool.

After the match between Liverpool and Charlton Athletic, Howard, who had been silent for a while, suddenly broke a fierce message in his column!

"With a good record but in financial crisis, the Thai Prime Minister wants to buy Liverpool!"

In this article, Howard mentioned that although Liverpool have a good season season, the team's financial situation has fallen into a bad cycle due to the poor results of previous seasons.

At the beginning of the season, Liverpool's transfer funds of more than 20 million pounds were raised by chairman Moores through loans. This move has strengthened the team and produced an excellent record. However, the team's financial situation has not improved because of this, but because of the large salary increase, which has led to the deterioration of the club's finances. It is said that the debt has reached around fifty million pounds!

Liverpool FC may be looking forward to the huge gains that will come from the Champions League and league at the end of the season to fill the deficit. But there are still many people in the outside world who are ready to take the opportunity to intervene in Liverpool, the hottest team in European football this season.

According to Howard's first-hand information, Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra has already proposed the idea of buying 25% of the club's shares for 50 million pounds to the Liverpool club.

In Thaksin's view, his £50 million investment could help Liverpool get out of the debt crisis, and he could also take the opportunity to take over the European club, thus achieving the opportunity to expand his international influence!

As soon as Howard's revelation was reported, it immediately set off a seismic sensation in English and even European football!

After all, the debt crisis has brought a lot of trouble to European football in recent seasons. Fiorentina, a traditional powerhouse in Serie A, went bankrupt due to financial problems and were ordered to be relegated. Lazio is also mired in a debt crisis. In the Premier League, West Ham United was relegated to League One (later the Championship) due to a debt crisis, and Leeds United was also deep in the relegation zone because of debt problems, and was even very likely to go bankrupt!

This can't help but make people worry that the Liverpool team will also fall again after finally regaining its glory because of this debt crisis!

After this news was exposed, Liverpool FC also held a press conference immediately in response.

At the press conference, Liverpool's press officer said that Thaksin did make an offer to buy, but was rejected by the Liverpool club. Because Liverpool does not accept acquisitions in any way!

The club's response also came as a relief to the fans. They don't want civil unrest in the club at the most critical time for the team!

However, the media does not seem to want this to be the end of the debt crisis.

Two days later, it was The Sun again, and Howard was again, and they broke the news of another acquisition.

"The debt crisis is due to the club's civil strife, and Liverpool's third shareholder wants to usurp the throne!"

In the report, Howard mentions that after Thaksin's takeover application was denied. Morgan, the third shareholder of Liverpool FC, has stepped forward again.

Morgan, a 51-year-old real estate and hospitality tycoon, is one of the richest people in England, with a fortune of £312 million, according to Forbes magazine in 2003. He currently owns 5 per cent of Liverpool, less than the 51 per cent owned by current chairman Moore. Morgan, a die-hard Liverpool fan, recently cashed out a property company that he had run for many years, up to £300 million.

Like the Thai Prime Minister's "takeover plan", Morgan's investment could also have a long-term impact on Liverpool's future. However, at the same cost of £50 million, Morgan and Thaksin did not have the same purpose. Thailand's prime minister's plan is to buy about 25% of Liverpool chairman Morse, while Morgan is ready to convert 50 million directly into the club, converting it into a new stake.

According to Howard's analysis, due to the discord between Morgan and Morse, Morgan is reluctant to buy the club's shares directly and let £50 million flow into Morse's pocket.

As a result, Morgan asked the club to agree to the issuance of additional share capital, and based on the present value of Liverpool shares, Morgan would give himself and Morse a 37% stake in the new share capital, so that he could logically enter the club's core management.

In other words, Morgan nominally hopes to help the Liverpool team get out of the debt crisis, but in fact he wants to achieve the goal of "seeking the dynasty and usurping the throne" through this means!

This news once again put the Liverpool team on the cusp. If Thaksin's acquisition can only be said to be his personal will. Now the third shareholder of the club has initiated a takeover, which can be regarded as the club's "civil strife"!

This is undoubtedly terrible news for the Liverpool team, which is going through the most crucial period of the season!

After this news was broken, Liverpool officials responded again. They said the Liverpool club had rejected Morgan's offer. The reason is still the same sentence, Liverpool FC does not accept any form of acquisition!

It's just that this time the Liverpool club's response did not calm the storm as before.

Howard took advantage of the turmoil to say in his column that Morse refused to make this "capital injection" entirely out of the protection of his own personal interests, not for the club's consideration. It was a selfish decision!

Other media outlets have also responded, and the Liverpool takeover battle is like a soap opera, with new content every day.

Chairman Morse, who originally had a very high status in the hearts of Liverpool fans, was also damaged because of this turmoil.

Even though, for the two "acquisition plans", Liverpool FC decisively rejected them. But the club's financial problems are an indisputable fact.

This can't help but make people worry that if the debt crisis is not resolved, even if Liverpool wins multiple titles this season, this summer, it may become a player supermarket!?
