Chen Yingxiong was not surprised when he heard Chen Xing said that he wanted to buy a team.Anyway, with this idea, it is not uncommon for big consortiums and millionaires to buy a team.Nowadays, everything is particular about playing, and it is too common to play with women, so some rich people started to play football.

Ordinary people without money can only enjoy the addiction of controlling the team in computer games like Football Manager, while rich people can play a real FM.

He thought that the team that Chen Xing bought must be a second-tier team in a second-tier league, maybe it was a team from the second division, the third division, or the first and second divisions.Anyway, there are no teams in financial crisis in those low-level leagues.

Considering Chen Xing's Chinese identity, it is also possible for him to buy a Chinese team to play.

So when he was unprepared, he was really taken aback when he heard the three words Chen Xing said in an inaudible voice.

He asked in surprise, "Which team?"

The sound was so loud that it immediately attracted the attention of other people dining in the restaurant.It’s a good thing he speaks Chinese, otherwise, the next day, there might be rumors that “Chen Yingxiong is also a mysterious figure, and he seems to be planning to quit” in newspapers in Naples and Italy the next day...

Chen Xing was startled by Chen Yingxiong's voice.

He almost pounced on Chen Yingxiong's mouth.

Fortunately, he restrained himself.Because thinking that no one else can understand the conversation between them.The low voice is purely a matter of habit - when people say something more private, they subconsciously lower their voice whether there are people around or not.

"Liverpool," he repeated.Fearing that Chen Yingxiong might not hear clearly again, he made his voice a little louder.

Chen Yingxiong stared at Chen Xing, and then laughed loudly: "This joke is really funny, Brother Chen!"

He felt that Chen Xing was joking with him.

If Chen Xing bought a Serie A or Serie B team to play, he thought it might be more reasonable.What kind of team is Liverpool?It's rich!Although they have been somewhat down and out in recent years, no matter how poor they are, they are still wealthy. As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

For a giant like Liverpool, does it mean that you can buy it if you buy it?

Besides, the English are very loyal to their team, can they accept a Chinese as their boss?
In the past, there was a lot of uproar when Manchester United wanted to change owners, and many people opposed it.Chen Xing has no official background, and his assets are not as rich as Murdoch's. How can he buy Liverpool?

When he thought about it, he felt that Chen Xing was joking when he said that he wanted to buy Liverpool.

"A joke?" Chen Xing on the opposite side also laughed. "You think I can't do it?"

Chen Yingxiong shook his head with a smile: "If you buy a low-level league team, I think it is entirely possible, but Liverpool..."

Chen Xing nodded: "How about we make a bet, hero?"

"What bet?"

"If I succeed in buying Liverpool, how about you come and play for Liverpool?"

Chen Yingxiong froze for a moment.

The bet is this, which is somewhat beyond his expectations.And...is it too much?
Seeing Chen Yingxiong's hesitation, Chen Xing smiled very happily: "What? Counseling?"

This is a radical method, but for single-celled organisms, it works well.

Chen Yingxiong patted the table.

"Damn! Who's the one who's the one? Who's the one?" He stared wide-eyed.

"Then let's take a gamble, dare you?"

"What are you afraid of?" Chen Yingxiong said with his head raised.

"Okay, then it's a deal, if I succeed in buying Liverpool, you have to agree..." Chen Xing quickly calculated, "Come to Liverpool next season!"

Chen Yingxiong didn't think too much: "As long as you can really buy Liverpool." Then he snorted twice, "But I don't think it's possible!"

Lu Ang next to him suddenly said, "Do you want to write a written agreement?"

Chen Xing waved his hand: "No need, can I still not trust my brother?"

Chen Yingxiong also rolled his eyes: "My words are hard to follow!"

Lu Ang was robbed by Chen Yingxiong, but he just smiled and was not angry.

Chen Xing slapped his hands, then raised the wine glass in his hand: "Okay, let this glass of wine be our witness! Haha!" He drank a glass with Chen Yingxiong.

After he drank the wine, he said to Lu Ang next to him: "Now you can explain to the hero, Niang."

Chen Yingxiong was a little puzzled.explain what?What else is there to explain?

Lu Ang pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose and came out to speak. "In February 2007, two Americans, George Gillette and Tom Hicks, paid 2 million pounds to acquire Liverpool. George Gillette was the former owner of the American Harlem Basketball, and now Owns the Montreal Canadiens ice hockey team in Canada. Tom Hicks is the backstage owner of the Texas Rangers in Major League Baseball. At the time, this matter did not attract much attention because of the acquisition Very smoothly, very naturally, Liverpool changed hands. But now the two American owners of Liverpool are in trouble. They are tight on money and owe a lot of debt, so they urgently need to get rid of this big burden. Starting from April this year, They announced that Liverpool was open to the world and anyone who could pay what they were happy with could buy Liverpool. Moreover, since it had already been sold once, Liverpool fans didn't have much to say about the club's change of ownership. Contradictory ideas, even because of the two American bosses messing around, these fans are now looking forward to a reliable new boss, so as to give them new hope."

As soon as he introduced it like this, Chen Yingxiong understood.He couldn't figure it out before, because he was just a football player, and he might not know much about many things in it than an ordinary fan.He knows that Manchester United has been sold, but Liverpool...he really doesn't know very well.

He usually cares about Liverpool, and he still has to play against Liverpool. He cares about the opponent's lineup, because that is his opponent, and the degree of concern is not enough, it is purely perfunctory.Not to mention who is the boss behind Liverpool.

"Then you guys now..."

Chen Xing nodded: "Yes, we are going to buy Liverpool now!"

"This... is expensive, right?"

Chen Xing slapped his hands together: "I prepared this number."

"Five hundred million?"

"Oh, wrong!" Chen Xing retracted his thumb. "It's [-] million pounds. Luang will be the general manager of this acquisition. If the acquisition is successful, he will also become the general manager of the Liverpool club, and I will be the chairman and chairman of the club."

Seeing his full confidence, Chen Yingxiong suddenly regretted that he simply made a bet... Damn, I won't really go to Liverpool to play football by then, will I?Although it is said to be a rich family, but it is just a down-and-out rich family... and it has not been rich for many years!
Seeing the hesitant expression on his face, Chen Xing smiled: "What? Regret it?"

Of course, Chen Yingxiong, who was said to be the center of the matter, could not admit that he felt guilty and regretted it, so he continued to insist: "Who regrets it? It's nothing! After all, it's a rich team. You want to buy it for [-] million? Dream it. !"

After he said that, Lu Ang really frowned beside him, obviously considering the acquisition of Liverpool. Judging from his expression, I'm afraid this matter is not as optimistic as Chen Xing said.

Seeing Lu Ang's appearance, Chen Yingxiong laughed, as if he had already won.

Chen Xing ignored him, and changed the topic. Everyone talked about football, women, and making money. Generally speaking, the meal was quite enjoyable.

※ ※ ※

Chen Xing really just came to see the younger brother of the family who hadn’t seen him for a long time. He had a meal here and left the next day. Before leaving, he sent a text message to Chen Yingxiong, telling him to pay attention to the news and wait for his triumphant return good news.

"Liverpool welcomes you then, haha!"

His smug face was so vividly displayed through this text message that Chen Yingxiong seemed to be able to see Chen Xing laughing upright in front of him, as if he had a chance of winning.

Chen Yingxiong rolled his eyes and curled his lips.He didn't understand the capital operation of this club, but he felt that things would not go as smoothly as Chen Xing said.Because if something can go wrong...it will go wrong!
Of course, because he took part in a gamble, which is closely related to his own future, Chen Yingxiong still needs to understand it, so that he can know what he is doing.

After he learned this, he realized that the news about the sale of Liverpool has already spread. It is said that a Middle Eastern consortium and an American chaebol are interested in Liverpool. Some even say that Zhu Jun, the boss of Shanghai Shenhua in China, is also going to buy Liverpool. This incident has attracted a lot of attention from the Chinese media...

Chen Yingxiong knows about Zhu Jun, because he used to play World of Warcraft.The agent of this game in the mainland was taken by Zhu Jun... At that time, as a qualified Warcraft player, he scolded Zhu Jun a lot.As long as the server is blocked, Zhu Jun must be using the server to make trouble...

Zhu Jun also wants to buy Liverpool?Chen Yingxiong curled his lips, just hyping himself, this person is quite good at hyping himself.Compared with Zhu Jun, he would rather trust Chen Xing.

But those middle eastern consortiums and American chaebols are also very strong...

That's right, how could Brother Chen buy Liverpool so easily?Do you really think that buying Liverpool is as easy as going to a luxury store to swipe your card to shop?

A few days later, he saw the news that "a wealthy Chinese man joined the battle for Liverpool". The rich Chinese man who appeared in the news was none other than his eldest brother, Chen Xing.

※ ※ ※

The matter of Chen Xing's acquisition of Liverpool is not listed for the time being. Although this matter may be related to Chen Yingxiong's future, it is still very early, and it is said that there will be no news until October.There is no rush.

His main job is still playing football.

This season's pre-season training is even more tiring than last season, because this season Mazari has planned to achieve good results on both fronts, especially the Champions League.The league guarantees to qualify for the Champions League next season, and of course the Champions League goes as far as possible.

In order to be able to cope with high-intensity two-line combat, it is necessary to work hard on physical reserves.Therefore, the intensity of the physical training this time was particularly high, and the time was extended for a few days.Make sure that the physical condition of the players can be at a high level after the start of the season, and last as long as possible.

Played a few warm-up matches, and Chen Yingxiong showed an excellent competitive state in these matches.

This made Mazari very happy.

Raul is still adapting to Italian football and Naples football.But after all, they have a solid foundation, which is different from when Chen Yingxiong joined the team, so he also scored two goals in the warm-up match, and his performance can be regarded as good.

Raul and Cristo are Mazari's two most important signings this summer. The other signings are mainly to increase the thickness of the bench, so there is nothing to introduce.The media also focused their attention on Raul, and even Cristo was left out. As for the other players who joined the team, who cares...

※ ※ ※

If the qualifiers are also counted as part of the Champions League, the Champions League has actually started on June 29 this year, but the Champions League qualifiers that Naples participated in will not start until August [-].

On August [-], Naples challenged their qualifying opponent Werder Bremen away.

Matches for qualifying rounds are also determined by drawing lots.

As the fourth in Serie A, the Bundesliga strong team Werder Bremen was drawn in the qualifying round, which is a bit surprising.But Naples is not surprised at all, because their opponent is UEFA... For this reason, it is not surprising to draw any opponent.If Barcelona also needs to participate in the qualifying round, Naples might really be able to draw Barcelona.

Without Chen Yingxiong and without Cassano, Naples went to the away game. Raul started the game and played 10 minutes. His performance was average.Only Hamsik scored an away goal for the team. In the end, Naples lost 1:3 to Werder Bremen in the away game.

This result made many Naples fans nervous.The opponent got a two-goal lead in the first round, and returning to their home court, this game may not be easy to play...

I thought it would be easy for Naples to pass the qualifying test, but I didn't expect that the whole Naples team fell into a big fall in the first round.

For a while, a tense air filled the sky over Naples.

"...It seems that Mazari doesn't need to think about when Chen Yingxiong will come back. Chen Yingxiong may be suspended until next season..."

"Without a hero, Naples played at the Weser Stadium, Werder Bremen's home stadium, and their performance was not at the same level as last season when they eliminated Real Madrid and forced Barcelona into a scramble. It almost killed the opponent's suspense. If it wasn't for Hamsik's For away goals..."

Chen Yingxiong was suspended for this game, so he watched it at his home, accompanied by Cabrera.Chen Yingxiong was very excited to watch the whole game, and kept patting his thigh and swearing.

However, his swear words did not help the team, and Naples was forced to a dead end.
