The winter transfer window is finally here, and it's good news for players who have been playing for months as they can take a break to recharge their batteries and wait for the game to start again and make the final push for the title after work.

But unlike other leagues, the English players do not have any special feelings about the winter break, because the English do not have a winter break, as for the winter transfer market, it is a time when clubs need to be busy, and the English players can only continue to play. Of course, you can also hope that Christmas will come soon, after all, on Christmas Day, the English League will definitely be closed.

"The Swiss are definitely leaving, God, you asked me to go there and find you a vacant seat that would fill the gap for Henkez in a short winter break." Parry looked at Benitez in front of him, couldn't help touching his forehead, and said with a headache.

"Hehe, I don't care about this, in short, it is already a foregone conclusion that Henkz will leave Liverpool, if the club does not bring in a strong central defender, I can't guarantee what will happen to Liverpool in the second half of the season."

Benitez said with a smile, Benitez was in a very good mood during this time, Liverpool changed the new chairman, so that the original turbulent Liverpool quickly stabilized, and Liverpool under his own leadership, won all competitions, although the Charity Shield was eliminated, but that was also expected by Lao Bei, after all, in this world, it is difficult for any club to dare to fight all the way and compete for the championship of all competitions

If the Charity Shield is lost, it is not a big deal, Benitez knows very well that for his Liverpool, perhaps the Champions League title is not as important as the English League championship trophy, after all, Liverpool has not tasted the championship for a long time.

Despite his steady success, Benitez was not carried away by the victory. On the contrary, as the team's results get better and better, the more Benitez thinks too much. With the current Christmas approach, as the winter transfer market opens up, Benitez urgently needs to bring in some players to strengthen the team. No, after finishing today's team training, Benitez went to Parry's office. Talking to Parry about buying the player.

"Hehe, Mr. Benitez. Please don't say that, I believe you understand how desperate we are for Liverpool to win the league and the Champions League, and I understand some of the situation within the team at the moment. Now that you've found me, tell me what player you need to bring in, I'm the general manager of the team after all, and I have to be smart and save every penny for the owner and the club. ”

Parry didn't say anything about Benitez's request. Because Parry understands too. With the departure of Genkez, and it is not yet known which players in the Liverpool squad have been in contact with other clubs in private. So buying players is a must.

"The Swiss is determined to go, so I'm asking the club to bring in a strong centre-back. This person has to be physically fit and fierce defensively. At the same time, you can't be short. Of course, according to the current situation of the team, Husky can't go, I used to say that Husky can go, but now the situation is different, Michael is very good, but the body is not very good, look at the current situation, Michael is injured, if it weren't for Husky to stand up, I'm afraid we Liverpool wouldn't be able to go to such a good result. ”

After thinking about it carefully, Benitez said what he wanted, of course, this is only the most basic request, and as the transfer market opens up in the winter, there will definitely be people leaving and people coming in.

"That's fine. The team does need to find a place to fill the void in the space where Henkz has gone. I don't have a problem with that. In short, you are the head coach of the team. As for the candidates. You're in charge. You just need to give me the list. Then I'll call people to talk about where the players are going. Of course. Emily is a good player. I also don't want Emily to leave Liverpool. You can rest assured of this. I'll be responsible. ”

Hear Benitez asking. Parry thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement. After all, Benitez is not asking too much. It's so simple. It is also a necessary requirement. I'm afraid even if Benitez doesn't ask the club to buy a new defender to fill the vacant space where Genkz has left. The club itself will also think about it.

As for the Husky. Although Husky's position at Liverpool is a bit awkward at the moment. But it has to be said. Hess base exists. For Liverpool. It's definitely a huge benefit. Liverpool had paid a lot of money to get Husky. Let the club hand over Husky to other teams so easily. Parry himself wouldn't be willing.

"Since that's the case. So I'll talk about one of the players I observe. This player is called Mario Yepes. is a South American Colombian player. This guy reacts quickly. Good physical fitness. Fierce defensively. The body is strong. Undoubtedly, the best person to fill the vacant space in the departure of Henkz. What's more, this Yepes is only 26 years old this year. At the same time not very famous. I'm sure the club will do it if they make a move. $5,000,000 land price. to be able to bring this guy from Denantes, France, to Liverpool. ”

Seeing Parry nod in agreement. Lao Bei said that he liked the player. As with all landlord managers. Benitez also doesn't like to chase stars. Like a mad dog, take the money in your hand and smash a star everywhere and come back. For Benitez. Just like all landlord managers. It doesn't matter how famous a player is. The main thing is that the person must be physically qualified. Just be practical.

"Yepes. I haven't heard of this guy. But you just talked about this human characteristic. I think of the heart of the Bundesliga Bayer Leverkusen team's backline. Lucio, Brazilian. You know, Lucio is a very good player. What do you think. Instructor. Isn't it a thought about it. ”

After listening to Benitez's words, Parry immediately said his thoughts, after all, during this time, Parry also knew that the departure of Henkez's departure was a foregone conclusion, so as early as after Ham took over the Liverpool club and gave Parry all the rights, Parry was already looking for a player who could replace the vacant position of Henkez.

"Well, I know what you said about Lucio, this guy is a great player if you can bring Lucio to Liverpool. Then I am absolutely welcome. But as far as I know, Bayern Munich also has a lot of affection for Lucio, you know, compared to Bayern Munich, we really don't have much advantage for Liverpool. At the same time, according to my thinking, it will take at least $10 million to bring Lucio to Liverpool. And even more. In addition, there is also Bayern Munich eyeing the side, and I am afraid that the transfer fee of 15 million US dollars will not be enough for us at that time. ”

Hear Parry talk about Lucio. Benitez couldn't help but be stunned, and the information about Lucio suddenly flooded into his mind, and he thought for a moment and said what he thought.

"Well, it does make sense, I'm afraid I want to bring Lucio to Liverpool. Not an easy task. But Lucio is really good, and he has a lot of strength, so if he gives up like this, I'm always a little unwilling. ”

Parry also understood that Benitez's words were very reasonable, but he was still a little reluctant to say it.

Indeed, at present, it is very difficult for Liverpool to buy a level player, and it is still a defender. In general. Players like these have long been mastered by the major giants. Liverpool want to dig into other giants, and it is obviously not an easy task. Unless you learn from Real Madrid, you will spend a lot of money on it. Maybe maybe not.

However, Liverpool is not Real Madrid, and it is destined not to be like Real Madrid. Therefore, for Liverpool, it is indeed not easy to poach a star-level defender from other big clubs.

Since there is no way for the defenders of the big teams, then Liverpool can only turn their attention to other teams that are not giants, and find a good central defender from which teams.

And Lucio is undoubtedly the most suitable player at the moment, the first is that Lucio's Leverkusen club is not a giant team, and the Bundesliga is covered by Bayern Munich, Leverkusen basically has no chance of winning the championship, which is undoubtedly a serious blow to a professional player and a player who is eager to get the championship.

Don't dare to say otherwise, at least a powerful player like Lucio, that is definitely a fragrant bun in the eyes of Bayern Munich, even if Liverpool doesn't make a move, I'm afraid Bayern Munich will also make a move and bring Lucio to the Olympic Stadium.

Compared with Bayern Munich, Liverpool has no advantage at all, compared to strength and influence, Bayern Munich is the overlord of the Bundesliga, is the top club, Bayern Munich wants to win the Bundesliga championship, it is easy very, unlike Liverpool, at least Arsenal and Manchester United are eyeing on the sidelines in the UK.

At the same time, Lucio has been playing in the Bundesliga for several years and has become accustomed to life in Germany and Bundesliga games.

Bayern Munich is different, it is also a Bundesliga team, and it is also the overlord of the Bundesliga, Lucio goes to Bayern Munich, not only can continue to play in the Bundesliga that he is familiar with, but also can follow Bayern Munich to win the Bundesliga championship, which is really good for Lucio.

As for Liverpool, Lucio is neither familiar with the English game nor used to life in the UK, everything needs to be adapted. More importantly, in the mile, Liverpool is not the Bayern Munich of the Bundesliga, you can't just do it, you must know that Liverpool has not won the English League for many years.

Therefore, compared with Liverpool and Bayern Munich, even Parry and Benitez have to admit that for Lucio, Bayern Munich is obviously more tempting than Liverpool.

"If that's the case, then you should also try it and ask Lucio and Leverkusen what they mean. Of course, in my opinion, we can't make Lucio our main target, so we act on two fronts. Lucio and Bayer Leverkusen on the one hand, Nantes and Yepes on the other, in any case, the team must bring in a new defender before the end of the winter transfer window. ”

Looking at Parry's unwilling look, Benitez thought for a moment and said.

"Well, in that case, let's go on both sides and hopefully God will give me good news that I can see a free agent in the winter transfer window."

Listening to Benitez's words, Parry also understood that this was undoubtedly the best way, and nodded in agreement. At the same time, I kept praying that I could meet a free agent when the winter transfer market opened.

Hearing Parry's words, Benitez smiled and didn't say anything, it was clear that Benitez didn't expect much from Parry's prayers. Because it's almost impossible for a star to become a free agent in the winter transfer window, unless the star has an irreconcilable conflict with his club.

"Okay, sir, we need to hurry up for these things at the moment, so as not to be in a hurry, it's not too early now, I'll go back first." Seeing that everything had been said and talking to Parry, Benitez stood up and said.

"Oh Coach, don't worry, before the winter transfer market closes, I'll definitely bring you a defender that will please you." Seeing Benitez preparing to leave, Parry also stood up, shook Benitez's hand and said.

"Oh, that's what I want." Watching Benitez leave, Parry suddenly lay down in his chair and thought with a satisfied expression.

Parry is indeed happy now, preferring his current life to his current life compared to his previous work under Morse. Why, the reason is very simple, that is, Ham, the chairman, does not care about Liverpool's affairs at all, and gives Parry all the power and is fully responsible for all the affairs of the club. It can be said that although Parry is currently only the general manager of Liverpool, what he has done is indeed the chairman of Liverpool. With such a life and work, how can Parry be dissatisfied.

However, Parry also knows very well that after all, he is only the general manager of Liverpool Club, and in the final analysis, he is only a player who works for Chairman Ham, not the real chairman of Liverpool.

So Parry also understands that there are some things in the club, he may be able to make decisions on behalf of Chairman Ham temporarily, but some things can never be decided by himself, even if Ham has given Parry the power at present, but Parry also understands that don't really take himself as such a thing, otherwise, he may receive a message that day to let him go.

Parry sent a fax to Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga directly in the name of Liverpool FC, the content of which was simple, that is, he wanted to buy Leverkusen's defensive core Lucio. In the fax, Parry also vaguely mentioned that the transfer fee was eight million.

In fact, Parry also understands that it is really difficult for eight million to bring Lucio to Liverpool. But this transfer is the same as doing business, it is a matter of sky-high prices and finally taking a step back from each other. So Parry deliberately said eight million, which is to set the bottom line to death, don't let Leverkusen offer too high.

Parry believes that if Leverkusen really wants to complete this transfer, although he is currently offering 8 million, he will definitely increase the price later, and when the time comes, he will increase it to 10 million, or even 12 million, I believe that Leverkusen will be embarrassed to let himself continue to pay the price.

However, Leverkusen still disappointed Parry, and in the face of Parry's proposal, Leverkusen directly refused, and even when Parry directly increased the price to 12 million, Leverkusen did not agree. Seeing this, Parry eventually had to give up on Lucio as well. (When Lucio moved to Bayern in '04, the transfer fee was 12 million.) ）

Although he really wants to get Lucio, Parry also doesn't want to be wronged by Bayer Leverkusen and be slaughtered. Therefore, although Parry was unwilling, he reluctantly gave up the idea of bringing in Lucio, and set his sights on Yepes, who was in Benitez's mouth, and also called people around the world, especially in the Brazilian and Argentine leagues, looking for suitable players.
