Volume 1: The Red Sun Rises Chapter 17: The Farce (End)
Asked by reporters about the line-up at the post-match press conference, Benitez said: "When I decided on the 11 players to start, I had full confidence in them, we have four strikers in the squad and today I sent Cisse and Baroshe. ”
Pressed by reporters if Owen will still be a Liverpool player, Benitez said: "I can't predict the future, I'm just focused on the present and how we perform tonight, Owen is still one of the four strikers in our team so far, I don't want to say anything else. ”
Zhao Yuyu really asked Gerrard in private, and Gerrard was also helpless at the time: "No one has talked to me about Michael, outside of the two giants of Manchester United and Arsenal, seeing that Mourinho has turned Chelsea into a behemoth with a lot of pounds, of course I hope Owen stays to ensure our competitiveness!" Michael told me that he would sign a contract, but now?! ”
Looking at Gerard who was helplessly spreading his hands, Zhao Yuyu really felt the weight of a captain!
Zhao Yuyu was unexpectedly stopped by several Chinese reporters after the game!
"I'm talking big brothers!" Zhao Yuyu looked surprised: "You are too dedicated, you all chased to Austria!" ”
"That's what we do!" Zhu Wei preemptively replied, as Zhao Yuyu's news consultant, although it was secret, he also needed to control the direction: "Yuyu, do you know that you have set several records?" ”
"Records?" Zhao Yuyu was really a little confused, and looked at the excited group of reporters: "What a record!" ”
"The record of the youngest player to appear in the Champions League, and China's first person in the Champions League!" Someone in the reporter group rushed to answer, although he was trained many times by this little guy who is not easy to deal with, but these reporters really couldn't help their excitement, although they usually dare to make up anything in order to attract attention, but this kind of real achievement is undoubtedly more exciting!
The record is held by Nigeria's Babayaro, who was 16 years and 86 days old when he made his Champions League debut for Anderlecht in November 1994. The eyed brother was about to break his voice: "You are only 16 years and 61 days old today, and you have undoubtedly broken this long-standing record!" ”
"Oh, that's it!" Zhao Yuyu didn't feel anything to be proud of: "Thank you for the reminder, this feels good!" ”
"A lot of fans in China want the national team manager Ali Khan to recruit you to the national team to participate in the World Cup qualifiers, what do you think about that?" Zhu Wei saw that Zhao Yuyu's interest was not very high, so he decisively changed the topic!
Although others are still unsatisfied, this topic is also very interesting to everyone, everyone has also learned Zhao Yuyu's character, when you don't want to be interviewed, you just don't accept it, you dare to make it up, it is really a bloody sue to the end, completely blocked!
The most important thing is that you can't make up news, you can make up comments! It's all eye-catching, so that's it! Speaking of which, it is also an evil sect, Zhao Yuyu is abroad, but no matter what kind of partial media fabrication, he can know it for the first time!
"Playing for your country is an exciting goal, but it needs to be considered by Mr. Ali Khan and I am personally very much looking forward to the World Cup qualifiers!" Zhao Yuyu answered very affirmatively!
"Fans are looking forward to your "Chinese derby" with Sun Jihe, do you have any connection with Sun Jihe? "I finally caught this guy, so I can ask more!
"After arriving in the UK, I contacted Brother Sun, but unfortunately Brother Sun has returned to China to participate in the Asian Cup, so I haven't had a chance to meet yet! As for the "Chinese Derby", of course Brother Sun is fine, but I don't know if I can play, so it's too early to say so! Zhao Yuyu patiently dealt with this group of excited guys: "If you don't have any questions to ask about this game, I'll leave!" ”
Turn around and leave!
"Alas, and you are ...... in Liverpool" The reporters asked unwillingly, but there are many lessons from the past, and they dare not stop them!
"I'm happy at Liverpool!" Zhao Yuyu replied from afar!
……
After returning to Liverpool, the team still can't prepare wholeheartedly, and the farce of Owen's contract renewal continues! In addition, the new signings that the club needs are not yet finalised!
Although the offer for Alonso has been officially launched, although 10.7 million pounds is not high, it still has a certain attraction for Real Sociedad! You can't blame Liverpool for picking and searching, after all, Cisse's transfer fee of 14 million euros is already Liverpool's historical champion!
It may be that Liverpool is only willing to give him 85,000 a week's salary - 85,000 is already the highest salary in the Premier League! Owen refused to sign a new contract with Liverpool, and when Real Madrid did start making contact with him, Liverpool issued an ultimatum to Owen to either renew his contract with the club or start transfer talks with Real Madrid.
After receiving the club's ultimatum, Owen's father John Terry and agent Tony Stephens rushed to Madrid to negotiate with Real Madrid, with whom Owen is expected to sign a five-year contract with a weekly salary of £100,000.
According to Owen's friends, Owen chose to negotiate with Real Madrid not for money, but because he believed that Real Madrid would give him the best chance of winning the highest honors.
Zhao Yuyu felt very strange: Didn't Owen say that his best friend was Gerrard?
In the end, Real Madrid finally managed to buy Owen for 8 million euros plus 25-year-old midfielder Nunez, which is Florentino's fifth superstar in the fifth year, and he continues the transfer policy of one superstar per year.
Zhao Yuyu noticed that Gerald's mood was a little gloomy: "Steven, I'm still sad about the betrayal of my friend!" ”
Gerrard's face was stunned: "What a mess, I'm worried about how to hit the championship, Manchester United Arsenal is difficult enough to play, Chelsea has a "special one", they have spent more money this year than the sum of other teams!" ”
As he spoke, there was a real look of envy on Gerrard's face: "Our club owner David Morse is a good man, but he doesn't have enough financial resources, and it is said that the club has been listed, if only the new owner had financial resources like Abu!" ”
"Oh," Zhao Yuyu didn't say more, "at least our new stadium plan has been approved!" ”
"That's really good news!"
……
In the face of media interviews, Gerald didn't say anything bad about Owen! He just took the opportunity to encourage Cisse!
Gerrard: "We were all shocked by Michael's departure. It looked like he was going to stay, but Real Madrid eventually stepped in and everyone knew how hard it would be to refuse. ”
'Nobody blames Michael for leaving, he's been so good for Liverpool, the players make their own decisions, he's gone, we've lost him,' said Gerrard. ”
……
The biggest advantage of Owen's departure is that Liverpool has a little money, although it is only a shabby 8 million pounds, but Alonso's transfer will be finalized quickly!
