Section 497 The Meaning of Friends
u8 Update Fastest Reading Network "Stephen, are you crazy? Buy back to Europe? Have you forgotten what he said about us last year? Garcia was immediately connected, and at this point, he seemed angrier than Carragher, "What have we become?" Traitor containment heart? What bastards want? If Ou can come back, then can I also go to Manchester United for two years and then come back to play! โ
His anger was still directed at Figo, but his words were shared by most people.
Ou is a traitor, this is the consensus of everyone. They don't care what others say, and they don't care about the reasons they find, no matter how good they look. For Liverpudlians, what they remember is Ou's sour words before Liverpool against their rivals and after Liverpool's title. Figo and the others have no pain with them, but Ou is the person they hate the most.
"Of course I know what he said, but he's repentant. He called me, apologized, and congratulated us on our win. After all, he is still the core of this team, he ......"
"He's a traitor. How can the words of a traitor be believed? Garcia immediately spoke, "He betrayed us, what else do you say to repent?" โ
"That's not right, you've only been in the team for a year, you can call yourself us, how many years has he played with us......"
"Have I done anything sorry for Liverpool? Did I say anything bad about Liverpool before a big game? I love this team, it's a short time, but I've given and received here, but he's not necessarily. Garcia immediately pushed back, "This has nothing to do with the year, some people just don't know what gratitude is by nature." โ
This summer, in fact, there are a lot of strikers who have been rumored with Liverpool, and Ou is also one of them, and the players are also ready to come with a newcomer, but Ou ...... No one thought about how to receive him.
The three people with the most scandals this year are Spain's Villa, Germany's Klose, and the other is Britain's Europe.
Of the three, Benitez favors Villa the most. He seems that Villa's strength level is enough to play in Liverpool, and other styles of play are also enough to play double strikers, which still has an unexpected effect on changing formations.
Villa, however, was adamant that he did not want to come. He's a player who comes from the bottom, he lives hard, and when he chooses, he's far more cautious than others. Playing abroad is a big challenge for him and he doesn't want to try. Moreover, in the Spanish team, he has a stable chance to play, and the team is willing to revolve around him and let him play the core, these things are also incomparable to others.
Therefore, he wisely chose to refuse Liverpool's solicitation: it is good to have pursuits, but it is equally important to do what you can.
After Villa rejected Liverpool, Liverpool also made an offer of eight million to Bremen in Germany to buy Bremen's striker Klose. But for this recruitment plan, Klose and Bremen have the same attitude: direct rejection.
This made Benitez a little unhappy as well. As a striker, Klose's ability is really outstanding. For example, his all-round xรฌng is enough to compete with Shepchenko, Henry and others, although it is slightly inferior to a purely tactical striker like Drogba, but it is indeed very comprehensive.
And his ability to continue to improve is also very admirable. According to Arsene Wenger's theory, after the age of 25, players basically do not improve. However, it is not easy for Klose to be able to develop from a striker with almost zero skill at his feet in his early years.
Although his goal rate is only 0.4, which is essentially different from Henry, Sheva and others, Benitez believes that if he is willing to come to Liverpool, Benitez will build tactics for him, with the help of Zhao Yaning, Gerrard, and Figo, he can definitely make Liverpool very strong.
However, he refused very simply, and the reason for this is actually very simple: the problem of money.
Klose is the starting striker of the national team in Germany, the absolute main force, and the darling of the league, the most eye-catching existence, and the advertising money earned is second only to Bayern's Ballack. Although he is in Bremen, it is difficult to win any championships, but he can have an annual salary of 3 million, a large number of advertising contracts, and at the same time because he is the main striker of the German national team and is sought after, for him, fame and fortune are all at his fingertips, and it is very cool to brush the data in Bremen, there is no need to go to other teams, compete for positions, and grab the main force, not to mention, Liverpool cannot give him a contract with a weekly salary of 85,000, there is no need for him to give up a large endorsement contract and a high salary to Liverpool for a championship.
This is also the reason why Bremen refused to let him go: although when they bought Klose, they took advantage of it, and Kaiserslautern mortgaged Klose to the bookmaker, so that when Bremen bought him, the transfer fee was only a measly 5 million euros. But the problem is that in order to get Klose to agree, they paid Klose more than 10 million euros in signing fees. The money given by Liverpool is not as high as Klose's signing fee, and of course they will not agree.
Benitez is also helpless about such a thing. Klose is a good striker, but he loves money. And he has no shortage of fame and fortune, whether it is a championship or a progress, it is the icing on the cake for him, he doesn't ask for these himself, let alone the Champions League, no championship can impress him.
And Michael Ou can't play in Real Madrid, and it is true that he wants to return to England, but there are many other transfer rumors related to him, Arsenal and Newcastle all claim to be interested in Ou, and Ou's agent still believes that Ou is a world-class striker.
Originally, everyone thought that if he had a little face, he would not run to Liverpool again, but obviously, people were thicker than they thought.
"He's my friend." Gerald was silent for a long time before he spoke, "Of course, maybe it's just my wishful thinking, but, after all, I've been a friend of all these years. He wants to come back and play for Liverpool. He begged me for help, could I say no? โ
No one in the room spoke anymore, and Gerald was right, after all, he had to say something for his friend.
"We're actually thinking about Europe as well." Benitez spoke, "I've thought about it, a counter-attacking striker is not redundant for us, and besides, the club is already negotiating. โ
It can be seen that the god of Benitez is not very good. He felt the same resentment and anger at the deal. But this is the decision of the club, here, after all, there are too many people who have a good relationship with Europe.
Benitez's words made everyone focus on him, "Does Real Madrid refuse to let go?" โ
"No, Real Madrid is willing to let go, but Real Madrid asked for a high price, and they asked for 20 million."
"When he left last year, it was 8 million, right?" After Garcia finished speaking, he remembered something and apologized to Nunez beside him, "20 million is too unreliable, since he wants to come back, then, let him help lower the price." โ
"He doesn't think it's professional." Jesterdam said slowly.
Although Ou has been shouting that he wants to return to Liverpool, Real Madrid will not let go of his mouth on the issue of transfer fees and insist on 20 million. Their argument is that Europe still has a three-year contract, which is different from last year's one-year contract, so it is natural to raise the price. But Liverpool is also unwilling to be wronged, sold for 10 million last year, a year old, and the bench will be doubled after a year, and Liverpool will naturally not accept this price.
Ou's own attitude is very unclear. When dealing with media interviews, he kept saying that he missed Liverpool, wanted to return to Liverpool, and regretted leaving Liverpool. However, for the negotiations between Real Madrid and Liverpool, he said that he is a professional player and refuses to do anything to help buyers lower prices.
This sentence made everyone present stunned, and then burst into an unprecedented burst of laughter. Gerald's face grew redder and redder as he laughed, but he still didn't say anything.
"He's unlikely to help us drive down the ......," Jesterdam continued, "and his agent is about to ask us for a high-paying contract, so he hasn't actually negotiated it with us yet." โ
"High salary?" Alonso was puzzled.
He asked for 110,000 a week's salary. You know, Stephen just went up to 100,000 ......."
"Stephen is an academy player, the team has not spent a penny on the transfer fee for him, and the salary should be higher, since he needs to spend money to buy, then why ask for a high salary?"
Although Ou is now more professional, he is also more professional. This 'professional footballer' did not hesitate to ask for a professional contract. His agent kept silent about how dirty Ou was when he left Liverpool, but just bitten the bite and decided that Ou was born in Liverpool's academy, Mr. Footballer, since Gerrard can get a big contract with a weekly salary of 100,000, then Ou should get a bigger one. And Ou now has an annual salary of 4 million, and he can't accept a salary cut - he doesn't mention it at all, Ou's high salary is obtained by pitting Liverpool and helping Real Madrid save transfer fees, plus La Liga's special low tax rate.
The team's youth training does not cost the team's transfer fee, so the salary will naturally be higher. And when Ou used to be in Liverpool, he also got a high salary. But since the player has left and now comes back, it will be regarded as a transferred player, and the team has already paid the transfer fee, so why should he still pay a high salary? And the weekly salary of 110,000 is the highest in the Premier League.
If Ou didn't transfer last year, he was still in the team, with his status as Mr. Football, he led the team to win the championship, and he didn't give up for many years, and it would not be too much to ask for a weekly salary of 110,000. However, people who have already left, can't get along abroad and come back, and still want a weekly salary of 110,000? Is Liverpool Europe's own club? Or is it that Liverpool can't do without him?
The room was extremely dissatisfied, but at this time, Benitez coughed, and then spoke, "This deal was agreed by the boss, and Mr. Parry is negotiating...... We will not agree to unreasonable demands, but don't think too much about him. โ
"All he really wants is respect." Gerrard spoke, "He was afraid that we would not respect him, he was not short of money, he told me that he wanted a high salary, but he was afraid that he would not have the Champions League and everyone would look down on him." โ
"Then why did he go to Real Madrid...... Garcia muttered in a low voice, "even if he comes, I won't respect him as much as I respect you." โ
"If you need to show respect to him...... Zhao Yaning understood the meaning of Gerrard's words, "I can give out the No. 10 jersey as a sign of welcome to him." โ
"That's great." Gerrard scrambled to speak, "I thank you for him and the club will thank you." I've been telling the club all the time, this year's Ballon d'Or, the club will do everything they can to help you. โ
"It's for you, not for him." Zhao Yaning made a special statement, "If it weren't for you to speak, I wouldn't be so easy to speak." And, do you really think it's worth it? You're the captain, we're the champion, it's the team that's the team, and if you win it, you'll be in the top five. โ
This time, Gerald hesitated for a moment before speaking, "There's still a chance." And, for the sake of friendship, it's worth it. If Michael comes back, then our future will be brighter. โ
"Our future must be bright, and there is no light for him." Garcia muttered, "As long as we're Liverpool, we're going to shine." Our brilliance does not need his help. โฯยท u(8) Update the fastest reading network
