Heroes of the Restricted Zone

Chapter 1183 The substitute is more important than the main force (the third monthly ticket is required!)

Pepe's joining Liverpool has caused a sensation in the world football.

Many people know that Liverpool is constantly recruiting stars to complete their great revival.

This is advertising at its best.

It is not easy to poach Pepe from Real Madrid, but Liverpool did it, which shows that their determination is firm, and at the same time they have some means. In the end, their financial situation is relatively good.

In fact, Liverpool is indeed quite attractive in the hearts of many players.

This team has just won the English Premier League championship. There are also good players like Gareth Bale, Sanchez, Suarez, Gerrard, and Chen Yingxiong in the team. These people ensure the competitiveness of the team.Especially Chen Yingxiong, he used his actual actions to prove to the world that there are heroes and there are champions!

Who doesn't want a championship, who doesn't want to be honored?
Why did Henry transfer from Arsenal to Barcelona?You must know that at Highbury, he is the king, he is supported by thousands of people, he is the captain of the team, and he is the unambiguous figure in the dressing room.Why choose the district of Barcelona?Because he wants a championship, he wants a Champions League championship, and his career is short of that championship.

Why did Cesc Fabregas follow in Henry's footsteps and move to Barcelona?Also because he wants a championship.

When a team has never won a championship, it is natural to transfer to a team with a greater chance of winning.

Water flows to low places, but people go to high places.

After Chen Yingxiong joined the team, Liverpool will have at least one championship every season.

This is really amazing, just like Mourinho, the team he coaches will have at least one championship every year, no matter what the championship is, there must be one anyway.

The same is true of Chen Yingxiong. After joining Liverpool, he brought Liverpool a League Cup championship in the first season, a Europa League championship in the second season, and a league championship in the third season.

Chen Yingxiong is already equal to the guarantee of the championship.As long as there is Chen Yingxiong, there will be a champion.

In this way, Liverpool is full of attractiveness for many players.

Transfer to Liverpool, fame and fortune, how wonderful!
Thornton is a typical representative of them.

As long as Liverpool calls, they will immediately swarm, scrambling to play for Liverpool.

This is especially effective for those who are not the world's top stars.

Therefore, Liverpool's transfer this summer has been very smooth overall.
Thornton is here, Pepe is here, and there are many other players who are rotation players.

Dirk is gone, Bellamy is gone, the team needs new aid on the wing.

They bought winger Michael Kelly (Michael_John_Kightly) from the Wolves, a winger who had a great reputation in the Wolves and attracted the interest of Manchester United.However, after suffering an injury, his performance was somewhat quiet.But generally speaking, he is still a qualified winger, and he can be the main force in some Premier League teams. In a giant like Liverpool, he can only play in rotation.

Although he is not a main player, Kelly himself is still very interested in joining Liverpool. Moreover, he has confidence in his own strength. He believes that with his strength and performance, he may not be able to compete with Sanchez, Bale, and Adam Johnson. .

Kelly is characterized by fast speed, cunning movement, smart passing, dare to kick and shoot, and has the ability to single-handedly change the game.

In addition, Gerrard is getting old, and he also needs a successor.

Shaheen proved to be ineffective and was about to be sent away. Gotze and Gerrard had different styles and could not be Gerrard's successor.

So the team still needs someone to replace Gerrard.

Liverpool fancy is playing for Wigan Athletic Irish midfielder James. McCarthy (James_McCarthy).He is an awakened British "Box_to_Box" player. From one penalty area to another, his ferocity on the defensive end and swiftness on the offensive end are impressive. He is accurate in long and short passes and knows how to score at the right time.

Although he is young, he has rich experience. When he was young, he had already completed [-] games on behalf of the Scottish Super League team Hamilton.

And this player has a good relationship with Liverpool.He came to Liverpool for a trial at the age of 15 and was so impressive that Liverpool youth coaches still remember the Irishman.And Liverpool sent an invitation to join McCarthy after the trial training, but he rejected Liverpool's invitation, preferring to continue his football studies in Hamilton.

Dalglish's evaluation of this player is - "New Gerrard".

It can be seen that such a person is simply a natural successor to Gerrard.

The only problem is that after McCarthy gradually showed his strength at Wigan Athletic, his worth has also increased.

Wigan Athletic only spent 120 million pounds to bring him from the Scottish Premiership. Now if Liverpool want to get him, I am afraid they will have to pay a lot of blood.Because the Liverpool family is not the only one who is optimistic about McCarthy.

Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool are all interested in him.

Although Liverpool and McCarthy once had a relationship, McCarthy was also full of gratitude to Liverpool for being optimistic about him when he was 15 years old, and he had a good impression of Liverpool.But first Liverpool have to get past Wigan Athletic.

Wigan Athletic set a price tag of £2000m for McCarthy.

This price is obviously too expensive, and Liverpool cannot accept it.

What's more, McCarthy does not have a "hukou book" in England, which will definitely affect his worth.

For him, Niang personally made a move, and finally after some bargaining, Liverpool and Wigan Athletic reached an agreement on a price of 300 million pounds, and got the opportunity to contact McCarthy.

McCarthy is also very interested in joining Liverpool. Of course he knows that Gerrard is his template. He also knows that Gerrard is old and Liverpool needs a successor. He also thinks that he can succeed Gerrard in Liverpool.

So he eventually rejected Chelsea and Manchester United and chose to join Liverpool.

※ ※ ※

There is another person who also needs a successor, and that is the team's old goalkeeper Reina.

Reina is 32 years old, no one knows how long he can maintain his state and ability, so it is better to plan ahead.

They have their eyes on two young and outstanding goalkeepers, one is the main goalkeeper Alex Smithies (Alex_Smithies) who plays for Huddersfield, and the other is Joseph Peter Joe Lewis who plays for Cardiff City (Joseph_Peter_'Joe'_Lewis).

Both goalkeepers are very good and have their own strengths.

Liverpool both offer, it depends on which side can agree.

Their offer is not high, because it is a substitute goalkeeper. If they spend a lot of money to buy him but let him sit on the bench, it will not be worthwhile.But to be the main force, what should Reina do?
Therefore, many teams choose a substitute goalkeeper, either from their own youth team, or choose those players who are cheap or simply transferred for free.

This saves a lot of money.

Cardiff City are dissatisfied with Liverpool's offer, and they hope to sell Joe Lewis for £500 million.This price is unacceptable to Liverpool. After repeated negotiations to no avail, Liverpool can only give up Joe Lewis.

Huddersfield, meanwhile, are doing quite well.

Liverpool initially offered 100 million, but Huddersfield disagreed. Later, the two sides bargained and increased it to 200 million.Liverpool told Huddersfield that this is their final offer, 200 million, and if they don't agree, forget it.

After Huddersfield thought about it, 200 million is logically a lot, and it's better than not getting a penny.Besides, Smithis is someone who can't be kept... He heard that Liverpool was interested in him before I met him, how happy was he?I posted several tweets in a row, and for a few days, I felt as if I was drunk, and I was floating...

Anyway, I can't keep it, so I might as well sell it for some money.

In this way, Huddersfield agreed to Liverpool's offer, and Liverpool bought Alex Smithis for £200 million as Leonard's substitute.

Although he is a substitute, Smithis is not discouraged. He firmly believes that when Reina grows old, he will become Liverpool's main goalkeeper. At that time, with this powerful Liverpool sweeping England, and going to Europa, he will achieve great feats .

This is the goal that a man should pursue!

※ ※ ※

These transfers are all aimed at enhancing the depth of Liverpool's bench. They may not be top players, they may have flaws, or they may not be mature enough, but as a team member, they can learn a lot, and at the same time they need to play. , they can also play an important role.

Therefore, Niang still attaches great importance to the introduction of these players.

It can be seen from his personal shot to help the team win McCarthy.

Liverpool almost collapsed last season because the bench was not thick enough, and the strength gap between the main lineup and the substitute lineup was too great.

So this summer, the introduction of suitable substitute players is also the focus of the team's transfer.

Niang didn't want something like that to happen again.

These few players will indeed enhance the strength of the team. Coupled with the players that already exist, Liverpool now has a faint atmosphere of a real giant.

This is the road to revival.As before, under the full suppression of Benitez, the team won a Champions League, but so what?After winning the Champions League, it has been worse than a year, and it has plummeted.It can be said that under Hodgson and Dalglish, Liverpool performed poorly, and there is a big reason why Benitez destroyed Liverpool's tradition and damaged Liverpool's foundation.Since then, it has been regarded as paying off debts to Benitez.

Niang hopes that Liverpool can continue to develop healthily and steadily, so the substitute is more important than the main force.
