As the doors of the transfer market approach, all fans and media are looking forward to seeing if there will be a few earthquake-level transfers in European football this year.

The one that has attracted the most attention is naturally Beckham, who has been deeply involved in transfer rumors. Everyone is watching him to see if the heartthrob will leave Old Trafford, whether he will move to Real Madrid or Barcelona, and how high will his transfer fee be?

At this time, the official website of the Liverpool team announced a piece of news that shocked the whole of Europe: "The club and Edison Chen have agreed on the player's contract, and Edison Chen will become a member of Liverpool in the new season!" ”

In just one sentence, the whole of Britain and even the whole of Europe went crazy.

Originally, everyone thought that Chen Xi, who had become a free body, could calmly choose a new club after the transfer period began. So as to obtain the highest benefit of the individual. As a result, he didn't expect that the transfer window had not officially opened, but he had already confirmed his next home! It's definitely a lightning transfer!

Moreover, his next home is actually Liverpool, which is relatively weak among his many wealthy suitors!

I always thought that Chen Xi would wait until Beckham's transfer, and the media and fans who came to Manchester United to become the new No. 7 were undoubtedly disappointed, and the superstar, known as the "new heartthrob", actually joined Manchester United's sworn rival Liverpool!

Ferguson was also very disappointed when he learned the news. As the club has been trying to keep David Beckham. Therefore, the club did not fully participate in the competition for Chen Xi. They think that after Beckham's stay is confirmed, it will not be too late to pursue Chen Xi. Who knows that Beckham seems to be unable to stay now, but Chen Xi has already decided on his next home early!

Manchester United, the club, which was originally seen as Chen Xi's biggest potential buyer, was told that it had failed before it even started. This made Ferguson, who admired Chen Xi very much, feel very regretful. Now, he has to look for a new No.7 for Manchester United.

In his opinion, maybe Brazilian Ronaldinho is a good choice?

Barcelona fans were undoubtedly disappointed, their new president Joan Laporta had promised to bring Beckham and Chen Xi to Camp Nou, but not only did heartthrob Beckham refuse Barcelona's offer, but even Chen Xi, a young star, refused Camp Nou's call and stayed in England. Some angry Barcelona fans have angrily denounced Laporta as a "liar".

Laporta, who was overwhelmed, could only say that he would give the fans a satisfactory answer. Like Alex Ferguson, he set his sights on Ronaldo in Paris!

The Liverpool team did not announce the length of Chen Xi's contract and salary, but Chen Xi's contract negotiations with Liverpool are progressing quite well.

In terms of salary, Chen Xi received a Premier League record of £100,000 per week. This is even higher than David Beckham's salary at Manchester United, which is converted into more than 5.9 million euros a year, just a little less than a few of Real Madrid's superstars. This is already an extremely high annual salary for a young man who has only been mentioned for one season!

In terms of image rights, Chen Xi and the Liverpool team each got half, and the Liverpool team originally fancied Chen Xi's commercial value and hoped to get more, but Chen Xi and George Ham insisted on it. In the end, both sides can only get half of it.

The only difference between the two sides is the length of the contract, Liverpool want to sign a five-year contract with Chen Xi, but Chen Xi is only willing to sign a three-year contract.

Chen Xi is like this, he doesn't want to be bound by a long-term contract.

In the end, after Chen Xi and George Ham agreed to the Liverpool team to increase the liquidated damages, the Liverpool team reluctantly agreed to a three-year limit. High liquidated damages can at least guarantee Liverpool's basic interests.

In this way, Chen Xi became the highest-paid player in the Premier League.

Considering Chen's crazy performances last season and his status as a free agent, this contract is not excessive, but for the Liverpool club, they will undoubtedly face some trouble next. After all, most of the players in the Liverpool team do not have high salaries, even the number one star, Owen, who has the European Ballon d'Or, only has a weekly salary of 65,000 pounds, which is nearly one-third less than Chen Xi!

Next, there is no doubt that Liverpool FC will usher in a massive salary increase. This is after the Liverpool team decided to sign Chen Xi, they were mentally prepared, obviously, this long-dormant old giant is determined to rise!

Chen Xi's contract with Liverpool has also been exposed by the media, and the media and fans really don't know whether to be happy or worried when they learn that the Premier League has given birth to the first star with an annual salary of 100,000 pounds.

The weekly salary of 100,000 also means that Chen Xi's contract is more than 50 times the income of Tottenham.

An 18-year-old player who earns five million pounds a year has the whole of England going crazy.

The Sun's Howard said in his column that Liverpool's signing was a big gamble. It is not known whether Chen Xi can help the Liverpool team after joining with a high salary, but he has already brought a side effect to the club, that is, it has affected the salary balance of the Liverpool club, and Liverpool will inevitably increase the overall salary of the team, which is a huge burden on the club's finances.

Obviously, this guy is still obsessed with singing against Chen Xi, and it can only be said that this guy is a person who doesn't remember his surname for a long time!

The Telegraph thinks Chen Xi is definitely worth the money. In their opinion, signing such a talented player for free is a victory anyway. Because according to Chen Xi's crazy performance last season, if his contract did not expire, he would be worth at least more than 30 million pounds, and if there are many giants to scramble, there is even hope to break the player's transfer value record. As for the increase in the club's overall annual salary, the Telegraph believes that according to the current trend of European football, this situation is the general trend.

After it was confirmed that Chen Xi would join Liverpool, some Tottenham fans who still fantasized that Chen Xi could stay in White Hart Lane finally gave up. Some radical Tottenham fans believe that Chen Xi left Tottenham because of money. However, most Tottenham fans have expressed their understanding of Chen Xi.

After all, although Chen Xi made his debut at Tottenham, he was not cultivated by the Tottenham team. He has scored so many goals for the club with an annual salary of £100,000 and brought three trophies to the club, which is definitely worthy of the team.

Chen Xi also spoke to The Guardian after Liverpool announced his move, saying: "Choosing to leave Tottenham is a difficult decision. Because this is where my career started and there are fans who support me. I have a lot of affection for this place and I think the Tottenham fans can understand me that I didn't leave because of the money. Tottenham had offered me a good contract and other clubs offered me a higher salary, but I ended up with Liverpool.

I chose Liverpool because they have always been the club that has been the most sincere to me, and Perry and Benitez have given me a blueprint for the future of the Liverpool team. I think that's in line with what I want in the future. At the same time, I also feel that it is a great honor to be able to join such a long-established giant. I can't wait to play at Anfield right now. There may be many people who doubt that I am worth that much annual salary, but I will prove to them that I believe that my arrival will bring more wins and more titles to Liverpool! ”

Liverpool's new boss Rafael Benitez was also interviewed about Chen Xi's arrival: "Edison is the player I wanted, not only does he have a strong body and great technique, but he is also a man who plays with his head, and the club told us that they would do everything they could to sign Edison, so I came to England. I had a great first meeting with him, and I'm sure we'll be happy with him in the future. At the same time, I also think that he, Stephen and Michael will form the most terrifying 'Three Musketeers' in the Premier League! ”

Gerrard, one of the "Three Musketeers" in Benitez's mouth, was also interviewed: "Edison is finally in Liverpool, and I feel like my dream has come true. Rafa Benitez has already told me about his thoughts for the new season and I think that's a great thing. I think we will be the most competitive team in the Premier League this season. The 'Three Musketeers'? I love that title! ”

Another "swordsman" Owen also responded to Chen Xi's joining; "Some people say I'm jealous of Edison's high salary, and I'd say that's not true. I've said it a long time ago, and I'm very welcoming to him, and it's not just talking. At the same time, the club has also offered me a new contract, and I will stay at Anfield and achieve more honours with everyone! ”

Smitchell, who generously gave up his No. 7 jersey, also gave an interview: "Well, I can only say that my No. 7 jersey was not given up in vain, it found its most suitable owner!" ”

Liverpool fans also welcomed Chen Xi, despite the fact that Chen Xi had provoked them at Anfield. But it was Chen Xi's magical hat-trick at Anfield that made Liverpool fans remember him.

For Chen Xi's transfer, the media inevitably reported it.

Some media outlets who had speculated about Chen Xi's whereabouts before were either happy or regretful about this result.

Far away in China, the media also reported the news.

"Football Weekly" believes that Chen Xi got the first weekly salary in the Premier League, which is to win glory for the Chinese and prove that the Chinese can also become leaders in the field of football.

The reporter of "The Ball" expressed regret that Chen Xi chose Liverpool instead of Manchester United. They obviously think the title "Red Devils' New Seven" is a little more stylish!

Domestic fans also have different opinions on Chen Xi's joining Liverpool, Chen Xi was in a non-giant team in the past, and some giants fans were able to remain neutral.

But now that Chen Xi has joined a wealthy family, but it is not the wealthy family they love, the problem arises.

In particular, the Chinese fans, who are Liverpool's sworn rivals Manchester United, are one of the largest groups of fans of the country's biggest clubs, and they have expressed their dissatisfaction. Because they think they can't cheer for Chen Xi, who is Manchester United's sworn enemy.

However, there are also some relatively calm United fans who have opted for neutrality. They said that as long as it was not in a direct dialogue between Manchester United and Liverpool, they would be able to cheer for Chen Xi. But if Liverpool run into Manchester United, they will have to support Manchester United.

Some fans of other giants also expressed their confusion that Chen Xi chose the relatively weak Liverpool. They believe that with Chen Xi's strength, he can fully stand on super giants such as AC Milan, Real Madrid and Barcelona.

All of a sudden, it was hyped up on the Chinese Internet again.

Fortunately, Chen Xi is abroad at this time, and he will not directly feel the "enthusiasm" of the fans, otherwise he will have to be one head and two big.

Some celebrities in world football also expressed their opinions on Chen Xi's transfer to Liverpool.

Liverpool legend Gallish praised the young man who took over his number seven shirt: "Edison was a genius, I don't think anyone disputes that. I'm delighted he's going to wear Liverpool's number seven shirt and I think it's a legacy. People always remember Manchester United's number seven, ignoring that Liverpool's number seven is actually a number with history. I believe that Edison will be able to carry Liverpool's No. 7 forward! ”

Kevin Keegan, another former No.7 of the Reds and now Manchester City manager, also congratulated Chen Xi on joining Liverpool: "I think Edison made the right choice. It's a good feeling to play at Anfield! At the same time, I think he can make history with the Liverpool number seven shirt. If I have one regret, it's that my team will meet him at least twice a season for the rest of the day, and I think it's a nightmare for us! ”

Former Tottenham superstar and legendary British goalscorer Greaves expressed regret over Chen Xi's departure: "Edison broke my single-season record for goals at Tottenham, I thought he would be able to stay at Tottenham and break more records, but he chose to leave. But I still hope that he can continue to do great things, he reminds me of my younger self and I believe he can do better than me! ”

Eriksen, who is the coach of England, also expressed his support for Chen Xi's transfer: "I have been following Edison's performance in the league for a long time, and I can say that the England national team has always had his place. When I go to Liverpool, I'm going to be looking forward to the spark between him and Steven Gerrard and Owen. Because all three of them will be the most important players in the England national team in the future! ”

Eriksson's statement also really shocked the British media, because Eriksson had not recruited Chen Xi in either the European Championship qualifiers or warm-up matches before. For this reason, many London media have also expressed objections to this. Now Eriksen has finally shown his attitude, that is, not only does he not ignore Chen Xi, but he has been paying attention to him.

However, at this time, it is inevitable that some nationalists will jump out to attack Erickson. They expressed their displeasure with his attempt to recruit a Chinese to the England national team. They see it as a challenge to the traditions of English football.

Of course, most of the media and fans still expressed their support for Eriksson's approach, after all, Chen Xi's performance last season was there.

As the weakness of the England national team has always been a weakness, a talented player has finally been found in the left midfield position, how can they let it go?

As Chen Xi's previous coach, former England national team coach Hoddle also expressed his support for Chen Xi: "Although he chose to leave Tottenham, I still want to express my blessings to Edison. At the same time, I also think that his ability can fully establish him in the England national team, and even he can become the main force of the England national team! It's not just because I'm his former coach, that's a pretty impressive assessment! ”

Hoddle's statement also made Chen Xi's call for entering the national team higher and higher.

At the same time, Liverpool's media have expressed a frantic welcome to Chen Xi's joining, because Chen Xi is a veritable news figure, and they will be able to get close to the water in the future. At the same time, Liverpool's media have also begun to frantically promote the terrifying "Three Musketeers" of "Edison Chan, Stephen Gerrard and Michael Owen". They believe that under the leadership of these three men, Liverpool will be expected to compete with Manchester United's 92 golden generation and Arsenal's French gang in the league, and may even regain supremacy! ——

After deciding to join Liverpool, Chen Xi also sent farewell text messages with his teammates and coaches. Teammates who are better with Robbie Keane are directly on the phone.

Captain Redknapp also expressed support for Chen Xi's decision, as a former Reds player, he believes that Chen Xi will be able to create brilliance after going to Liverpool.

For head coach Hoddle, Chen Xi only sent a text message. But for assistant coach Chris, Chen Xi drove to his house to say goodbye to him. After all, it was the old man who brought him to White Hart Lane.

As a loyal Tottenham man, Chris regrets Chen Xi's departure. Still, he is proud that this newcomer has become the highest-paid and most talked-about player in the Premier League.

When saying goodbye, Chris also said emotionally: "Edison, signing you is definitely the wisest decision in my life." Do a good job at Liverpool and don't disgrace me! ”

"Don't worry, Mr. Chris. I'll be visiting you in London often when I have time! Chen Xi did have a sense of gratitude to this old man.

Bidding farewell to his teammates and coaches, Chen Xi also moved his things out of the rental house, after all, it was rented by the club for himself, although it has not expired, but he has already transferred, and he is embarrassed to go out.

brought some useful things with him, and some other things Chen Xi transported back to the old house.

After dealing with these things, Chen Xi also gathered a few friends to get together in Sichuan Xianglou.

After all, I'm going to move from London to Liverpool in the future.

After everyone arrived, Lao Zhang also came to the box: "Chen Xi, you have transferred to Liverpool, it may be difficult to cheer for you on the spot like you are now." This meal is mine, even if I practice it for you! Even though you're in the first year of the Premier League, don't refuse me! ”

"Hehe, okay! How could I refuse someone to treat me? Chen Xi also knew that Lao Zhang had good intentions, so he was not hypocritical.

"Well, but this meal wasn't for nothing. When you go to Liverpool, you'll have to take care of my girl. This girl has never left me and her mother since she was a child, and I don't know how she is doing at school. I'm afraid that she will always report good news and not bad news when she comes back! Lao Zhang then added.

"Lao Zhang, you're luring a wolf into the room! Don't you know that Chen Xi's nickname for this kid in our place is 'Little Silver Stick'! Do you dare to let him take care of your daughter for you? Aren't you afraid that your daughter will be deceived by him? After Yang Xu heard Lao Zhang's instructions, he teased.

"I hope Chen Xi can become my son-in-law! I'm afraid that he won't like my naughty girl! Lao Zhang knew that Yang Xu was joking, so he also replied with a smile.

After listening to everyone's jokes, Chen Xi thought to herself, although Ke Yi is very cute and has a great figure, it is better to be a younger sister.

"Don't worry! Lao Zhang, I will take care of her when I have time. When the time comes, I'll be able to bring something for her when I come to London. Last time, I brought her some of the food you cooked for her. This girl is so happy! Chen Xi said with a smile.

"Seriously! Edison, you left us like this, and I was really reluctant to do so. I won't be able to watch you play in White Hart Lane in the future. But if you have an important game, I'll go to Liverpool and cheer you on! Come, brother, I wish you a glass of brilliance in Liverpool! Yang Xu raised a glass of wine and said to Chen Xi.

"Hehe, I can't bear to let you go! But don't worry, there are so many teams in London, I have a chance to come back in the future. We'll get together often! Dry! After Chen Xi finished speaking, he drank all the wine in the cup.

Danny Weir, as a friend who grew up wearing a pair of pants with Chen Xi, was also the most reluctant Chen Xi here, he held a cup and said: "Edison, I think back then, we also said that we would play together on the same team, and then work together to help England win the Rugby World Cup." Now you're not only switching to football, you're moving to Liverpool. Hey......"

Everyone looked at this big man holding wine and saying sour words, with a bitter look on his face, as if he was about to cry at any time, which was really awkward. But everyone also felt the emotion in Danny Weir's words.

"Danny, don't worry! The distance will not affect our relationship, and I will come back to London to see you and your parents when I have the chance. London is my home! You played well with the Hornets and I believe that without me, you could have led England to World Cup glory! Chen Xi comforted, he knew Danny Weir's feelings for him.

Among the few people present, only David Marven's parting was a little lighter, because Chen Xi had already told him a few days ago that the company would be established soon, and he would become a member of the company at that time.

However, he was a little curious about the reason why Chen Xi chose Liverpool. When he expressed the doubts in his heart, Yang Xu and the others were also very curious. After all, no matter how you analyze it, Liverpool doesn't seem to be the best option.

Seeing that everyone was listening attentively, Chen Xi said eloquently after taking a sip of wine: "To be honest, in the process of this transfer, the most important factor I consider is sincerity. Liverpool have been the most sincere team for me since the winter transfer window, and that sincerity is not just reflected in the annual salary. In fact, I believe that there are quite a few other wealthy families who are willing to pay such an annual salary for me!

Take Real Madrid and Barcelona as an example, they only have Beckham in their eyes now, and the focus is on him, and Manchester United also see me as Beckham's replacement. With Beckham's departure undecided, they have also not been very aggressive. Only Liverpool were very serious about inviting me from the beginning to the end.

Also, Benitez's tactics are very appealing to me. As a new Liverpool manager, he has prepared a set of tactics around me, which also shows how much he values me. In other big clubs, I'm sure I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to enjoy this kind of treatment.

Another thing, Liverpool haven't won the league title for a long time, and I think their desire for the title will make the team full of fighting spirit! And if I can help them bring championships, it will be easier to get their approval! ”

"It seems that you have thought it through. So I'm relieved. I'm sure you'll get the honor you want over there! After listening to Chen Xi's words, David Marven nodded thoughtfully. Obviously, this guy now thinks of himself as an agent.

"Okay, Chen Xi is about to leave London and go to Liverpool, let's toast him together, let him have a smooth journey, and succeed in Liverpool!" Yang Xu raised his glass and called.

Everyone also raised their glasses and drank all the wine in the glass-

These few days in London are also Chen Xi's last leisure time, and after his transfer issue is resolved, George Hamm will take him on a series of business activities.

Chen Xi still lives in Hazel, and after Chen Xi confirmed his transfer to Liverpool, Hazel somehow felt a trace of reluctance in his heart.

During this time, although the two of them had to quarrel about each other for three days, Hazel unconsciously got used to having Chen Xi.

In Hazel's opinion, although Chen Xi is a little colorful, he is still a very good man. At least the good food he cooks is something that most men can't catch up with.

For Hazel, who can only cook simple Western food, Chen Xi's handy Chinese food is definitely difficult.

Moreover, Chen Xi's Chinese cuisine is becoming more and more in line with the characteristics of Westerners, with a combination of Chinese and Western flavors, which also makes British girls like Hazel more acceptable.

Yes, I must have been thinking that I won't be able to eat free Chinese food after he goes to Liverpool. And there's no one to pay my rent anymore! It must be like this! Hazel said to himself in his heart.

Chen Xi didn't know what Hazel was thinking, he still wouldn't let go of any opportunity to tease Hazel every day, after all, sharing a house like this was one day after another.

What makes Chen Xi feel strange is that this Nizi has not quarreled with herself these days, could it be that she has changed her surname?

Chen Xi didn't have time to think about this, because he remembered that he hadn't said goodbye to Eva yet.

The news of her move to Liverpool is well known, and there is no reason why Eva should not know this. But this girl hasn't contacted herself for a long time. I was busy with transfer issues during this time, and I shared a house with Hazel, so I haven't contacted her.

This girl shouldn't be angry with herself, right?

Thinking of this, Chen Xi also made a special trip to find a time and came to the place where he and Eva had their first "date" back then.

After getting there and finding a corner, Chen Xi dialed Eva's phone.

"Hello, this is Eva!" Eva's voice came from the other end of the line, but the tone was stiff. It was impossible for her not to know that it was Chen Xi calling, but she used such a cliché to answer the phone, which shows that she was really angry.

"I'm smiling, do you have time to come and sit?" Chen Xi didn't hesitate, but asked directly. Because he knows that persuading an angry woman on the phone is a very irrational thing, and it is best to deal with it in person.

"Can I say no?" Eva on the other end of the phone was obviously still a little angry that Chen Xi didn't coax her.

"You can refuse, but if you don't come, I'll sit here until you come!" Chen Xi said stubbornly.

"Humph! Then you wait slowly! Eva hung up the phone after saying that.

Although Eva hung up the phone, Chen Xi had a smile on her face, because with what he knew about Eva, she would not be willing to let herself wait here for too long, if she didn't want to come, she would definitely refuse directly.

Sure enough, about ten minutes after the two hung up the phone, Eva appeared at the door of smile.

"Here!" Chen Xi beckoned and shouted.

Although Eva still had a stiff face, she still walked over honestly, but she still said stiffly: "How do you know that I am here to find you?" Can't I just be here to find a friend? ”

"This ...... If I'm not mistaken, I seem to be alone here! Chen Xi shrugged his shoulders and said.

It turned out that it was already past tea time, and the peak of the evening had not arrived, so only Chen Xi's table had guests in the whole smile.

Sitting in the seat, Eva found that Chen Xi had already ordered her favorite coffee and had already helped her fill up the milk. Chen Xi's careful action couldn't help but warm her heart.

Looking at Eva's suffocating face that was not powdered, but still beautiful, Chen Xi couldn't help but feel a little reluctant, he looked in Eva's direction and said, "I'm going to transfer to Liverpool." ”

"I know! This is not news for a long time! As soon as she heard Chen Xi's words, Eva became angry again. This guy didn't even tell me about such a big thing as a transfer, and he was going to Liverpool without saying a word, what did he do with me?

"I thought you wouldn't want me to go. But looking at you, you seem to want me to go! Chen Xi said with a disappointed expression on his face.

Eva wanted to explain, but was depressed, why should she explain to him? She just said in as flat a tone as possible: "You've decided to go to Liverpool. I have nothing to give up. ”

"But I can't bear you!" Chen Xi took a sip of coffee and said affectionately.

Although Chen Xi's words were simple, they directly hit the softest place in Eva's heart. She lowered her head and said, "Then why do you want to go to Liverpool." There are so many teams in London. ”

At this time, her tone was not as angry as before.

'If I go to another club in London, will the Tottenham fans be able to forgive me? And I'm just going to play in Liverpool, I'll come to London to see you whenever I get the chance! I don't want to leave you alone in London. What if someone else snatches it? Saying that, Chen Xi also grabbed Eva's hand on the table.

Eva struggled for a while, but couldn't break free, she gave Chen Xi a hygienic look and said, "It's going to be flattering!" I'm going to be snatched away...... Phew! I'm not you, so how can I be snatched away by others? ”

Looking at Eva's helpless appearance, Chen Xi really felt like to die of this girl, he put Eva's hand on his left hand, held Eva's chin domineeringly with his right hand, stared at Eva's charming eyes with his deep eyes and said, "You are mine, I won't let others snatch it!" ”

After speaking, Chen Xi kissed deeply.

In the face of Chen Xi's domineering tone and his manly snort, Eva didn't make any resistance, and was kissed on the lips by Chen Xi.

In the end, Eva, who was originally angry, was persuaded by Chen Xi in this way. After Chen Xi repeatedly assured that she would often return to London to see her, Eva also forgave Chen Xi.

After appeasing Eva, the stone in Chen Xi's heart was also put down.

Although after crossing over, unconsciously, he had had an ambiguous relationship with several women, but Chen Xi still cared most about Eva, a girl who was as pure as a blank sheet of paper.

As for Cheryl, she has been busier than Chen Xi recently, running all over the UK all day long, and as their group becomes more and more popular, they will even expand their scope to the whole of Europe in the future.

Therefore, she has no opinion on Chen Xi's transfer to Liverpool, anyway, she has the opportunity to see Chen Xi.

In this way, Chen Xi was ready to say goodbye to London, where he had lived for a year since he crossed over. Get ready to start a new journey!
