Chapter 5: Martin O'Neill (2nd Shift, Asking for a Monthly Pass)

After attending Cassano's wedding, Chen Yingying went on vacation with Cabrera ().

Their vacation was short, especially given Cabriella's situation – she still had to work. So Chen Yingying cherishes the time with Cabrera.

Chen Yingying, as a player, he still has a holiday.

It's not so easy for the managers of the club.

Niang has been busy since the end of the season.

The first thing he needs to do is announce the new head coach.

Last season, there was a lot of media speculation about who would be Liverpool's new manager. They listed a lot of candidates, and the company also offered odds. However, the Liverpool Club Club has not announced their answer.

No matter which media or the company is Bo Bao Cai, the first person they list is Martin. O'Neill, the well-known manager of English football. The second and third places are all different, with some bullish on Jose Mourinho, others bullish on Villas-Boas who has left Chelsea, and others favour former Manchester City boss Mark Murphy. Hughes, or former England boss McClaren.

Apparently everyone's most optimistic person Martin. O'Neill, it makes sense that everyone is unanimously optimistic. Martin. Orr, you are a well-known and capable manager in English football, with a good reputation and a good record in the past. He has experience in coaching minor teams such as Norwich and Aston Villa, as well as successful coaching giants in the Soviet Super League such as Celtic.

So in charge of Liverpool, he's safe for me to do.

Secondly, O'Neal's reputation is not much lower than that of Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger, Dalglish, etc., and he was also very successful as a player, so he has enough authority in the dressing room to shock people.

In addition, Martin. O'Neill has been at home all the time, and if the club asks him to go out of the mountain, he does not need to pay liquidated damages to the other clubs.

So many factors are combined, Martin. O'Neill is indeed the best manager for Liverpool.

But everyone is just speculating, and no one has confirmed it from other sources.

Now that the season is over, the answer is revealed (). Liverpool's new head coach is none other than Martin. O'neill!

'We are delighted to announce the decision that Martin will be our manager and we are confident that under his leadership, Liverpool will have a new lease of life!' In the announcement Martin. At the press conference of O'Neill's signing with Liverpool, Liverpool's general manager of the club, Niang. Lu said.

Next to Martin. O'Neill smiled and nodded slightly.

Then the two men stood up and shook hands and asked the reporters to take pictures. Under the flash, two people were smiling, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

It seemed like this handshake was a match made in heaven.

But in reality, the negotiation and signing process was definitely not as easy as this press conference suggested.

The Liverpool Club didn't wait for Dalglish to be out of class before going to the manager, and it was too late.

You must know that "Black Cat" Sunderland was also looking for a manager at the time. O'Neill was exactly what they were targeting.

If you wait for Dalglish to be sure of getting out of class before contacting Martin. O'Neill's words are only afraid that the Northern Ireland manager has been snatched away by Sunderland.

Niang never fights unprepared. When he decided to get rid of Dalglish, he was already looking for Dalglish's successor. And this search process did not last long, because it was easy to find candidates, and there were not many candidates. As the media analyzed, there is only one person who best meets Liverpool's requirements, and that is Martin. O'neill.

So in fact, not long after the start of the season, Niang was already in a relationship with Martin. O'Neill got in touch.

O'Neill resigned in May 2010 after a conflict with Aston Villa's host over a transfer issue, and for the next year, he was left home without a job. So Niang has been eyeing the manager for a long time.

He ran to talk to O'Neill and hoped that O'Neill would be able to coach Liverpool ().

If negotiations are made in accordance with the requirements of the traditional English club, there should be no problem with this signing. The club manager said to the manager, "Come and be the manager with us. "As long as the treatment is negotiated, it's fine.

But Liverpool are different from other Premier League teams.

At the helm of this club is an Italian, and the Italian club and the English club are completely different things.

Niang wants to have the right to decide on transfers, he wants to have the transfer power to himself, and the club club team building policy is up to him, he sells people and buys people.

But Martin. O'Neill adamantly disagrees with this approach, as a traditional English manager, manager, Martin. O'Neal is used to being the manager of the team, and the whole team is the same age, as long as it is related to the team, he has the final say.

As for the treatment, there is nothing to talk about. Niang to Martin. O'Neill's price is very high, and it will definitely satisfy O'Neill. But if this precondition cannot be negotiated, the later part of the offer will not have a chance to be displayed at all.

The two sides have been at a stalemate on this issue for a long time, and if it weren't for the fact that Liverpool is a traditional giant in English football and still has a certain attraction to O'Neal, maybe O'Neill would have signed with Sunderland a long time ago.

In fact, when O'Neill was at Aston Villa, he was not the kind of manager with a monopoly on power, otherwise he would not have fallen out with the Aston Villa boss because of transfer issues.

Before that, he had a good time working with the Aston Villa hosts. He knows where Aston Villa are – they are a mid-table team, so it is inevitable that the club will be able to use the difference in price to buy and sell players. Today's football is the era of capital football, and he is not so stubborn as to think that football cannot be tainted by money.

So he used to have a good time at Aston Villa. However, this time with Aston Villa's main team, Sterndy. Lerner fell out because the Americans went too far. Randy. Not only does Lerner not plan to continue selling people to strengthen his squad in the summer, but he also intends to sell the team's core players ().

In fact, Aston Villa have also sold their main players in the past, but if they sell one season a season, they can also sell their main players. O'Neill sold one within his reach, and he was able to use his abilities to recreate the other.

But this time Randy. Lerner went too far, and he even planned to sell two of the team's main players on the flanks, one is Milner and the other is Ashley. Yang. This made O'Neill intolerable. For him, the club sells a major force every year, which can also be seen as a normal practice of letting chickens lay eggs and then selling eggs. But now the practice has become killing chickens and eggs, and he can't agree to it anyway.

For this reason, he resigned in a fit of rage.

Niang has analysed Martin. The detailed reasons for O'Neill's resignation are believed to be martin. O'Neill is not the kind of person who has to insist on his power, in fact, he can be accommodating. Otherwise, he wouldn't have put up with Aston Villa selling him one of his main players every year.

That's why Niang went to Martin. O'neill. If O'Neill is the kind of head coach of the chaste and fierce female type, he must get his own power, otherwise he would rather die than obey, and Niang will not look for him at all.

Since we can talk about it, it's easy to do.

The next thing is nothing more than a process of negotiating a compromise between the two sides. O'Neill wants to dig up a little more power from Niang, and Niang wants to dig up O'Neill as a person at the lowest possible cost.

In the end, they reached an agreement that Niang's transfer move must be made to Martin first. O'Neill asked that as a manager he has the right to advise, while Niang has pledged to respect the manager's wishes as much as possible. In this way, in fact, the main right to transfer is still in the hands of Niang, as compensation, Niang promised to vigorously bring in players to strengthen the team, and will not easily sell the main players, unless the manager asks for a sale.

Then in terms of contract treatment, he also gave O'Neill a price that he was very satisfied with.

In this way, the two sides signed an agreement, but it has never been made public.

It wasn't until the end of the season that Liverpool made the official announcement.

This news is not shocking, everyone's previous guesses have already been guessed.

Many people even feel that judging from Niang's decision, although he is an Italian Chinese, his understanding of English football is quite reliable.

Liverpool choose Martin. O'Neill was the best result. It's better than the unrealistic Mourinho, right? In addition Mark. Hughes and McLaren are not as strong as Martin. O'neill. It seems that Liverpool fans can really start to expect a solid morale.

O'Neill's tenure at Aston Villa has allowed the team to qualify for European competition for three consecutive seasons, keeping a team that is not strong in the middle of the table. Look at Martin again. O'Neill's Aston Villa finished ninth last season and missed any European competitions. O'Neill's level.

Mentor out of Brian. Clough's Martin. O'Neill is one of the few people who has been able to succeed as a player as well as as a coach.

Taking charge of Liverpool is a big opportunity for him, and if he succeeds at Liverpool, his reputation will spread beyond the UK to the continent.

Who doesn't have a little ambition? Martin. O'Neill naturally hopes to be on par with Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger. That's why he would rather give up some of the power that originally belonged to him and coach Liverpool.

Whether a team is rebuilding or making changes, the most important person is the manager.

The manager is unsure and the team's pre-season plan will not be carried out.

Martin. After O'Neill signed for Liverpool, Niang was able to launch his own transfer offensive.

Now, of course, he'll have to talk to O'Neill.
