Chapter 793 Cooperation

Niang once said that he would tear down and rebuild the Liverpool empire. In fact, that was just an exaggeration. In any case, he could not tear down and rebuild the entire team.

Not to mention that he still attaches great importance to the opinion of the head coach now.This has just been signed. If there are things like ignoring the head coach's opinion and doing things against the head coach, I'm afraid it will be very bad for the future cooperation between the two parties.Maybe Martin O'Neill will resign and leave immediately?
So he has to discuss with O'Neal about whether the team needs to be rebuilt.

O'Neill has not been idle since he negotiated with Liverpool and waited to sign the contract. As soon as he entered, he began to collect all inquiries related to Liverpool. He paid attention to the reports about Liverpool in the media. This is also thanks to Chen Yingxiong, because There is such a person that the media likes, so Liverpool's exposure rate is quite high.

Coupled with the fact that Liverpool, as a traditional giant, is now in decline, people will continue to analyze this matter and try to find out the reasons for their decline.

In short, there are many things that O'Neill can understand just by reading newspapers and TV news.

But it is not enough to only listen to the media's one-sided opinion about some things. No matter how you say it, the reporters are not as professional as the head coach.O'Neill believes more in his glasses and brain.So he watched every Liverpool game live.

Because of so many detailed and meticulous preparations, even though O'Neal has just taken office, he already knows the team he is about to coach very well.

So when Niang came to him to discuss the purge and signings, he told Niang what he thought.

"In fact, there is no need for large-scale cleaning and signings for Liverpool." O'Neill said to Niang. "The framework of this team was established during Benitez's period. Generally speaking, it is not bad. Benitez's signings are a bit weighty rather than quality, but the framework has been set up, and then only partial adjustments are needed. That's it..."

"There is no need for a large-scale cleaning?" Niang was a little disappointed, but he was sharpening his knife to the pigs and sheep.

O'Neal nodded: "At most one person can be added to the forward line. This is the strongest part of the team. We have such an outstanding forward as Hero and Suarez, which has already made many teams feel envious... The midfielder is because The cause of the injury is a little tricky, but we have Shelvey and Henderson..."

Having said that, Niang interrupted O'Neal.

"That, Henderson, I'm going to clean up..."

O'Neal looked up at him.

"His strength is not up to Liverpool's requirements. His performance last season was too bad. Dalglish has completely destroyed his confidence..."

He thought that O'Neill would object, so he prepared a whole bunch of reasons to convince him.

Unexpectedly, before speaking, O'Neal nodded: "If cleaning is necessary, cleaning is fine. But I suggest that it is better to rent before renting and rent later." O'Neal could guess why the team's general manager insisted on Henderson had to be cleaned out because that was the player Dalglish insisted on buying, costing close to £1000m in cash plus a centre-forward.

As a result, Henderson performed very badly after he came. He was placed on the right winger by Dalglish for half a season.So it's quite normal to give up on him. O'Neill will not have any conflicts with Niang because of this person.

But he still wants to show his presence: "But if Henderson leaves, who do you plan to use in the midfield?" Gerrard is injured, Lucas is injured, Charlie Adam is injured, Liverpool's midfield Except for the young Shelvey is Henderson.

If Henderson is driven away, should Shelvey be the core of the midfield alone?This is obviously impossible.

Niang has already been prepared.

"I plan to introduce midfielders for the team." He handed his list to O'Neill, "What do you think of them?"

O'Neill glanced down, then raised his head again, and looked at Niang again.This time, there was more appreciation in his eyes.

He has always felt that the general manager of Liverpool is a person who messes around just to gain power, and he must not be as good as himself as the head coach in terms of professional knowledge.

But after seeing this list, he changed his mind.Because the person Niang wants to buy is also someone he is very interested in... It seems that this person is not as unprofessional as the outside says...

On Niang's list to O'Neill, there are many people he is interested in, from forwards to defenders.

O'Neill glanced at the midfield and recognized Niang's taste and vision.

In midfield, Niang suggested Sahin and Inle as replacements for Henderson and several other midfielders absent due to injury.

Sahin is a scheduler like Alonso. He performed very well when he played in Dortmund, otherwise he would not have been spotted by Real Madrid.But after going to Real Madrid, he was absent due to injury. He didn't play a few games throughout the season and played very little time. During the period, there were rumors that he had conflicts with Mourinho, saying that Mourinho had planned to sell this No performance Turkey kid anymore.

If Real Madrid really intends to sell, Liverpool don't mind taking over.

The other Inle could see Niang's vision even more.

Inle is currently playing for Udinese, which is not a well-known team in Europe, but Inle's reputation is not great compared to other players, because he is neither handsome nor commercially valuable, and moreover Not the type of headliner who likes to get in trouble.

However, there are already many people who are optimistic about the Swiss midfielder in the coaching circle. In the summer of 2008, Arsenal, which lost Flamini, once hoped to get this midfielder, but because the price was not negotiated, Inle finally stayed in Udinese.

Later, Naples was also interested in him, but they finally chose the more famous De Jong.

In this way, Inle continued to stay in Udinese.

O'Neill thinks that Niang has a good eye, not only because Inle is not too well-known, but Niang can take a fancy to him.It's because he proposed to sign Inle is very targeted.It can be seen that he also knows Liverpool very well, so he can make such a suggestion.

Because whether it is Charlie Adam, Lucas, or Henderson, if these three people are accurately positioned, they are not strictly defensive midfielders. They are considered central midfielders, and so is Gerrard. .They can go up and down, very versatile.But omnipotent means not specialized in many aspects.

In terms of defense, the abilities of these few people are not very good, after all, they are not people who specialize in this.

Inle is different. He is a real defensive midfielder, who specializes in dirty work, and has a long-range shooting ability. He is not without anything in offense.

If he can come to the team, it must be a shot in the arm for Liverpool's poor midfield defense.Liverpool conceded goals frequently last season, which is also related to their weak midfield defense.

If there is Inle... I believe the conceded goals will be much less.

O'Neill was tempted by the proposal.

In his opinion, Sahin did not interest him as much as Inle.

He asked Niang: "Wouldn't Udinese ask for a lower price?"

Niang smiled: "I won't be taken advantage of." He said very confidently.

He is Italian, so he knows Italian clubs very well.

Udinese is definitely not the kind of club that treats Inle as something not for sale.And now Inle is not what it used to be, and he can still sell it at a high price.Because Udinese did not qualify for the Europa League and the Champions League last season, it naturally lacked an effective means of raising prices.

When Arsenal wanted to sell, Udinese offered too high a price, but they failed to buy it.Later, Naples asked about the price a little bit, and Udinese still offered too high a price, so Naples decisively went to find De Jong.

For Pozzo, the chairman of the Udinese club, no matter how valuable a player is, if he can't cash it out, he is worthless.

So no matter how high the price Udinese set for Inle, as long as they can't sell it, it's useless.Value is only meaningful if it is converted into money.

Niang is confident that Inle will be brought to Liverpool, he just wants to ask the coach for his opinion.

Sahin or something, O'Neill said that if it may be bigger, you can try it.Otherwise, don't worry about it, anyway, the current team's midfielders are enough.But Yinle must buy it.

Since the head coach is also interested, it will be easy to handle.

With the same goal, he doesn't worry about someone holding him back.

Why would Niang be willing to discuss the possibility of cooperation with O'Neill? Some people would say that if Niang cooperated with Dalglish in this way at the beginning, how could the relationship between the two be on fire?
The actual situation is like this, Martin O'Neill is a complete outsider for Liverpool, he has no foundation at all.Daglish is different. Even if he is not the head coach, he has a huge influence on this team. Whatever he says can have an unknowable impact on Liverpool.

This makes it impossible for Niang to cooperate with Dalglish, because Dalglish is the strong side, and Niang can only succumb to the opponent.This is obviously not the result Niang wanted.

Now the position between him and the head coach has been exchanged. Niang, who has been running Liverpool for one and a half seasons, has become a strong side, while the new head coach O'Neill has become a newcomer with no one to rely on.In the process of cooperating with himself, O'Neill must be the weak side, so that Niang's opinions can be more easily implemented, and there is no need to confront the head coach head-on.

The so-called fair cooperation has never existed, and one party must become the leader, while the other party will become a vassal.When Niang and Dalglish met, neither of them wanted to be the other's vassal, so naturally they would not stop dying.In the end, Dalglish was cleared out of the team, and Martin O'Neill was very correct about his position, which made Niang willing to cooperate with him, and the relationship between the two could be harmonious.
