Chapter 398: It's Kind of Interesting

All eyes of England are drawn to this upcoming derby, with Liverpool and Everton on the spot.

Liverpool is better, because of the results, they have been in the spotlight, but because this is the Liverpool derby, Liverpool's results in the league and the Champions League are not important, because everyone knows that in the case of a small difference in strength, the outcome of such a game depends on which team dares to fight more and has better luck, etc., these factors are more important than playing something.

Liverpool did not play before the game and the whole team was preparing to face Everton.

It was at this time that the media following Liverpool discovered that Liverpool's recent news was not only a derby, but also a more important news before that, that is, the transfer of Cisse.

Cisse has been at Liverpool for two years and has played a lot this season, but he is not stable, and now with Zhang Tiehan and Fowler's Liverpool, his appearances are limited, coupled with his inconsistent performances, it is safe to say that it will be quite difficult for him to regain his position in the main team.

Even if Fowler is not good and he has a chance to start, as long as Zhang Tiehan does not leave, Liverpool will almost certainly bring in other strikers in the summer, and Cisse's position in the team will still be very awkward.

He's in such a bad situation.

Cisse is not the kind of person who is content with the status quo, he has expressed his dissatisfaction with his current situation in the team more than once, and this time Cisse's agent has openly 'shown love' to Tottenham, a move that has offended all Liverpool fans.

Liverpool fans are very unhappy with Cisse's agent's statement, although they don't think Cisse is very useful, but even if he wants to leave, he shouldn't be so high-profile. Especially at the end of March and the beginning of April, the most important stage of the Liverpool competition. Cisse's agent will put Liverpool FC in a disadvantageous position. Fans even fear that this will cause problems within Liverpool, which will affect the team's results.

In this way, their attitude towards Cisse's agent can be imagined.

It is widely believed in the English media that Rafael Benitez will focus on reinforcements up front in the summer, with Cisse likely to be sacrificed for the sake of money and places.

Rather than being controlled by others, Cisse's agent Stojjic simply took the initiative to preemptively tell France Football, "Tottenham made an offer to buy Cisse before the transfer window closed in January, and now. Tottenham are still affectionate towards Cisse, and Cisse is still interested in London. ”

Stojdic said: "We know Tottenham are interested in Cisse. They contacted us at 3pm on 31 January, but it was only a few hours before the transfer window closed, and if we had started to run the transfer process and it fell short in the last minute, Cisse would have had a hard time in the second half of the season. However, we will be in touch again in the summer and Cisse's departure from Liverpool is very likely. If the club can receive an offer of 10 million euros (about 6.9 million pounds) or 14 million euros (about 9.7 million pounds). I don't believe they won't let them go. Liverpool need to sell people this summer in order to buy people. ”

In fact, what Stojzic said is true, and this is the case with Liverpool FC, which signed Zhang Tiehan this season. Renewing the contracts of Gerrard, Garcia and others, such a large expense has made the already problematic club's economy even worse, one thing is certain. The transfer fee that Rafael Benitez was able to get in the summer must have been very pitiful.

But the Liverpool media and fans interpret it differently.

What the?

Liverpool need to sell people this summer, can they buy people? That doesn't mean that. Will Liverpool get nothing this season?

Totally understandable!

You must know that Liverpool still has the Champions League in progress, and there is already a one-legged quarter-final tie. The Champions League has always been a heavyweight source of income for the giants, if Liverpool can enter the final, it will almost certainly increase the income of at least 15 million pounds, if the situation is good, it is possible to win the championship and get more than 20 million pounds, you know, last season Liverpool earned more than 30 million pounds from the Champions League, this season Liverpool has Zhang Tiehan, has more influence in European football, receives more attention, and can naturally have more income.

This income can completely ease Liverpool's economy and even free up some transfer funds for Benitez to buy stars.

So doesn't Stojdic mean that Liverpool will get nothing in the Champions League?

The Liverpool media and fans were immediately outraged!

The Tottenham spokesman then seemed to speak for them, telling the Daily Mail: "We have never made an offer for Cisse and we have never been interested in this player. ”

But the English media generally believe that the words of agent Stoudic are credible, and it was he who was responsible for Cisse's move from Auxerre to Liverpool.

'Cisse's departure is very likely,' said Stojzic, 'but he has a good relationship with the Liverpool fans, he gets along well with everybody and he doesn't want to bring it up now to avoid causing chaos for the team. ”

'Tottenham will be approaching Liverpool in the summer and Cisse is also interested in playing there, Tottenham are a club on the rise and Cisse can get more playing time there.

"At the end of this season, things will be resolved naturally, I don't think Liverpool will block Cisse's transfer, as long as Tottenham can pay 8 million pounds, Liverpool needs to sell some people in order to buy people in the summer."

Stoidic is clear.

Not only Cisse, but also Morientes has been rumored to be transferred, and the news is even more conclusive than Cisai, and he is linked to the Spanish club Valencia, and Liverpool officials have even confirmed the news, obviously his transfer has become a foregone conclusion.

Ahead of the derby, it was bad news for Liverpool to hear that both of their strikers were leaving, but there was good news, as Spanish media revealed that Liverpool had won the race for Valencia defender Fabio Aurerio, who had won La Liga and the UEFA Cup with Rafael Benitez and was on contract to become a free agent when his contract expires this summer. And at this time, you can negotiate a contract with another club.

Aurelio has signed a three-year contract with Liverpool, with only an official announcement just away.

That's the good news.

Liverpool fans are not so satisfied. Neither Cisse nor Morientes, although in Liverpool the table xiàn is not very good. But they always belong to the star category, Aurelio? Who's that? And it is also a free transfer player, in the hearts of fans, it is really hard to believe how much strength a free transfer player can have.

Liverpool began the winter with two confirmed transfers, Fowler and Aurelio, both on free transfers, which also made the media and fans more aware of the Liverpool club's financial problems.

"Maybe in the summer, Liverpool will really think about selling Zhang." Some pessimistic Liverpool media have made their voices heard.

Intellectually. If you want to solve the club's economic problems, the best way is to sell Zhang Tiehan, Zhang Tiehan's current value is very high, "French Football" is estimated to be 60 million euros, and the German "Kicker" analysis said that Liverpool will get more than 70 million euros from Zhang Tiehan's transaction, which is enough to solve many problems in Liverpool, and even make them become 'nouveau riche' with a rich background. With Benitez's ability to use tens of millions of euros to walk around the transfer market, it is likely to build a team that can compete directly with the Blues and Manchester United.

Now Liverpool also have this qualification when they are unstable. It still relies more on Zhang Tiehan's goals.

This is also where Liverpool are criticized, because there is no strong team that relies on a single player to score goals to maintain results. It's not normal, like three months ago. When Zhang Tiehan was injured, Liverpool's overall table slipped very strictly.

'Liverpool want to be back in the big team. It is necessary to work on three fronts. This is pointed out by many European media analyses.

Amid the talk, the Liverpool derby is approaching.

Among the two teams, Zhang Tiehan is the player who pays the most attention, after his comeback, Zhang Tiehan's goals can almost be described as explosive, and he frequently scored two, three or even four goals in each game of the league, FA Cup, and Champions League, and more media attention paid attention to Zhang Tiehan's table in the Liverpool derby.

This is also Zhang Tiehan's first Liverpool derby.

The last leg between the two teams was at Everton's home stadium, and Liverpool won 3-1 against Everton, the game was quite intense, and there were fan riots after the game, although no one died, but more than a dozen fans were injured in the riots.

Liverpool public television has confirmed that there will be blast police officers entering Anfield Stadium on match day to maintain order, which is an effective means of preventing fan riots.

Despite this, the smell of gunpowder for both teams before the game was still very strong.

The Everton players expressed their confidence in the game, and at the same time did not forget to sarcastically mock Liverpool, but their sarcasm is difficult to play a role, mainly because Liverpool's results this season are much better than Everton's, and Everton's league results last season were better than Liverpool's, which is also the only result they can get, but this season Everton and Liverpool are at a comprehensive disadvantage, league, cup, Champions League, not to mention, Everton did not even get the Champions League qualifiers that were hard to get, and they were eliminated in August.

Compared to the two teams, Liverpool has too obvious an advantage.

However, Everton still looked arrogant before the game, and they expressed their confidence in the victory.

Liverpool naturally don't want to let their city rivals be arrogant, and Gerrard stepped up and said: "I've heard some of the Everton players say they're happy to come to Anfield with confidence, but I think we're more confident. We've had better results than them, we've had a lot of wins in recent times and I don't think they can take the points away at Anfield. We've been playing really well lately, we're all together, everybody is trying to be better, I'm happy to see the team like this, we're all working hard. I don't know about Everton, but I dare say they wouldn't have been so happy after the game. ”

In an interview, a reporter asked Zhang Tiehan's mood in the face of the first derby, Zhang Tiehan said, "I hate Everton, but in my opinion, this is just a league, they are not a very strong opponent, I don't think there will be any suspense in the game." ”

This is a complete disparage for Everton.

It was also Everton players, fans, and the media who supported Everton who began to fight back, and they criticized Zhang Tiehan for nothing, and some players even threatened Zhang Tiehan in order to express their anger.

"He's just recovered from his injuries, be careful!" Piston said this, but he also received a warning from the FA for the club and himself.

Zhang Tiehan shrugged, and he only shot back, "If I go to a boxing match, I will definitely beat him all over the ground looking for teeth, but it's a pity that this is a football match." ”

Liverpool FC was then fined £10,000 for this.

Zhang Tiehan immediately stopped talking.

He was a little worried that if he said that the ticket would be on his head, it would be a bit more than worth the loss, but he remembered the guy who threatened him, Piston? A tough guy?

It's kind of interesting. (To be continued......)
