Carragher looked at Li Wei with a serious expression, and said, "Is this the club chairman's persuasion?"

Li Wei sighed and said, "Actually, you don't need to think so seriously. I hope the atmosphere of the conversation is like a normal conversation between two friends."

Carragher shook his head and said: "I don't want to retire. I feel that I am still young. Although I am almost 34 years old, Ferdinand, who was born in the same year as me, is still playing the main force at Manchester United. Scholes is 36 years old. I also returned to Manchester United to play football. Maldini didn’t retire until he was close to 41! And I don’t know what else I can do besides playing football.”

After a pause, Carragher said: "If I don't want to retire, will the club clear me?"

Although Carragher is 34 years old, he is also a well-known iron guard in English football.At the national team level, Carragher was also selected for the 2010 England national team squad and participated in the World Cup in South Africa with the team.

Some Premier League relegation teams are still willing to introduce the older Carragher and let Carragher's experience help them relegation.

Moreover, Liverpool does not necessarily want Carragher to transfer at all. Liverpool can accept Carragher on loan at a low price or even free of charge. They only need to rent out the team to bear Carragher's salary, which can attract more teams willing to introduce Carragher.

Li Wei was silent for a while, and said: "No, unless you want to play in another team, the club will fulfill the remaining one and a half years of your contract."

Carragher felt very uncomfortable.

He understands the meaning of Levi's words. In view of his loyalty to Liverpool for nearly [-] years, Levi will not take the initiative to clean up Carragher, but he will not renew his contract with Carragher.In the remaining year and a half, Carragher may not play many games, which is equivalent to his free salary, but these are Liverpool's compensations for him.

Carragher sighed, feeling very depressed: "I understand the club's decision, but...it was too sudden."

Levi made a phone call gesture to Carragher, and said: "I understand, when you think about it, call me when you think about it. I'll go first, goodbye!"

Carragher nodded numbly, forgetting even the basic etiquette of sending Levi out.

Li Wei doesn't mind either, he can understand Carragher's mood, but football is so cruel.Except for a few players, few players can die well in the giants, even Gerrard, the soul of the team, didn't he fail to retire in Liverpool in the end?
It can even be said that if Zidane hadn't chosen to retire when he was a highlight, his ending would probably be similar to Raul's, and he would be sold to other league teams by Real Madrid.

…………

After handling these transfers, Liverpool soon ushered in the first round of the FA Cup. Liverpool played against the low-level team Oldham at home.

Oldham is now in League One (third level). The last time they played against Liverpool was 18 years ago, that is, before 1993, when Carragher was still in the Liverpool youth team.But in this game, Oldham beat Liverpool in an upset.

However, this game was held at Oldham's home court, and Oldham's victory at Anfield Stadium dates back to almost 100 years ago-1914.

As long as Liverpool correct their mentality in this game, they will never lose. The strength gap between the two sides is too great!

Levi also played against Oldham with a training mentality.

Benatia, who had just transferred, got the starting position, and he partnered with the young local defender Stones.

The goalkeeper is Liverpool's second goalkeeper Mattia Perrin, and the left and right full backs are young players.

Midfielder Henderson, Motta, and Lallana, among the three, Motta is an old player. Even the old player Motta just returned from injury in mid-December, and is not the main force.

Both Bell and Neymar took turns on the striker, and Li Wei gave them two days off to let them have a good rest.

On the striker, Levi played Sterling, Klose and Griezmann.

…………

Although Oldham decisively chose the iron barrel at the beginning of the game, but facing the stronger Liverpool, Oldham is not Liverpool's opponent at all.

Oldham's iron barrel formation only defended for 10 minutes, and Motta broke through Oldham's iron wall with a wonderful free kick, rewriting the score to 1:0.

No. 40 minutes, Liverpool rewrite the score again.Flanagan made a pass from the side, which caused a chaotic battle in the penalty area. First, the Oldham players made a mistake in making a clearance. The football fell to Klose's feet. The German shot decisively, but because he was too hasty, the football was played very squarely. Hitting the Oldham goalkeeper's foot and bouncing back into the penalty area, Sterling finally played his small and quick features, grabbed a point and poked the football, rewriting the score to 2:0.

Liverpool, leading by two goals, played more openly, but this gave Oldham a chance.

No.405 minutes, Oldham player Visolovski made a long pass and found forward Robbie Simpson, who dribbled the ball to 25 yards and made a decisive volley with his left foot. The football hit the right post and went into the net However, Italian teenager Mattia Palin has nothing to do with this kind of world wave.

At halftime, Levi replaced three players in one breath, replacing Danny Rose, replaced by Gary Cahill, Flanagan pushed into the midfield, leaving only Stones, Benatia and Gary Cahill, Levi played a back three in the second half.

Motta off, Nainggolan on.

Griezmann is off, Benteke is on, Sterling retreats to the full-back position, Levi is playing 3-5-2, leaving Benteke and Klose on the front line as two empty forwards, Liverpool is changing to play a long pass.

When Liverpool is getting stronger and stronger, more and more Premier League teams choose to play against Liverpool.There is no doubt that Li Wei is practicing how to break the dense defense on Oldham.

The back three is also an opportunity for Oldham to fight back. He needs to see the ability of Benatia and Gary Cahill who have just joined.

If they can't even withstand the counterattack of a low-level league team like Oldham, Li Wei needs to think carefully about whether to give Varane and Papastathopoulos more opportunities.

…………

Oldham came out of the locker room and saw that Liverpool replaced three players in one go, and even put on a three-back formation against them, and immediately became angry!

This is too underestimated!
At the beginning of the game, Oldham stepped up its offense.

Liverpool's defense was once in turmoil, and the Liverpool fans at the scene were all sweating.

Li Wei sat on the coaching bench with a calm expression. He was not afraid that the team would be eliminated by Oldham.To put it bluntly, the FA Cup is actually not in Levi's plan. Now that Liverpool are fighting on the third front, the pressure is very high.After January, although the Champions League is not so dense, Liverpool's opponents have also become stronger.

In the group stage, there was a big team like Genk Football Club, which made it to the Champions League knockout round. To put it bluntly, even if it was the well-known Greek Athletic, Li Wei didn't think it was easy to deal with.

You must know that APOEL qualified first in the group stage, beating Zenit St. Petersburg, Porto and Shakhtar Donetsk. Although these teams are not giants, they are all familiar Champions League regulars.No matter how weak the Greeks' competitive strength is, Levi doesn't think that Liverpool can easily win the opponent.

What's more, in the Champions League draw, Liverpool drew the Serie A upstart Naples.

Levi is not willing to put too much energy in the FA Cup.

On the contrary, using the opportunity of the FA Cup to train and discover Liverpool's weaknesses, in Levi's view, it is a big profit!
