Chapter 451 Chicken head or Phoenix tail? [The fifth update of the explosive liver, please subscribe to the monthly pass]

The Premier League has always been known for its tolerance and decentralization of coaches.

Because here, the head coach is called a manager, not a coach.

As the name suggests, a manager is like a project leader, responsible for all aspects of the competitive field, even transfers have considerable authority, which has led to more and more Premier League people calling for power restrictions in recent years.

For example, Chelsea, Mourinho's authority has been repeatedly restricted.

The reason is not difficult to understand, because since the beginning of the century, there have been news of the head coach collecting black gold in the Premier League.

Things like Ferguson's younger brother serving as a scout for Manchester United are even more aboveboard.

But in fact, except for Manchester United and Arsenal, other teams are basically gradually limiting the authority of the head coach.

But even so, the head coach is still the competitive core of a team.

Benitez is the core of Liverpool, and many of the coaching teams he relies on are from Spain.

For example, his number one assistant coach, Paco Yesterdan, is currently in charge of Liverpool's daily training, especially good at physical training.

And Yang Yang also noticed that when Gerrard introduced Paco Yesterdam to him, he especially emphasized, "Paco has always been the communication link between us and the head coach."

This also made Yang Yang pay special attention to this thin Spaniard who had a friendly smile on his face from the very beginning of the meeting.

He is very similar to Benitez in that both of them have bald heads.

Goalkeeping coach Jose Ochuto Reina, scouts Edu Aldo Macia and Frank McPalan, and fitness coach Giusto Lillo Diaz are all Spanish.

Among them, Yang Yang paid special attention to Justo Lillo Diaz. He is a young man in his early twenties. Eibar from La Liga Eibar just came over this season, but watching him talk and do things gave Yang Yang a feeling that he was not very reliable.

"Your body looks a little thin, and it may be difficult to adapt to the Premier League, but you can rest assured that under my training, I guarantee that you will soon be able to play your best in the Premier League."

Yang Yang smiled politely, but he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

Tactical analyst Dave McDonough is another of Benitez's right-hand men. He has been behind almost all of Liverpool's important games in the past two years.

According to Gerrard, there was another Paco Herrera in Liverpool's coaching staff, who was also a Spaniard, but this summer he resigned voluntarily and went to La Liga to serve as the football director.

This is also a very normal phenomenon of personnel turnover in European football. After all, Benitez has become famous in recent years.

……

After meeting with the coaching staff, Gerrard and Carragher took Yang Yang, Su Ye and Raiola around Melwood.

From the training ground to the players' lounge, to the gym, swimming pool and other places.

According to Gerrard's introduction, Liverpool's youth team is not in Melwood, which is exclusively for the first team.

"Frankly, I have heard your name from the club since more than a year ago, and I have always felt that a player like you should come to play for us at Liverpool."

Gerald said frankly to Yang Yang.

"I can't say what the strength and performance of the team is, but what I dare to say is that in the Premier League and Europe, we are the most united team. All the players who play here have only one idea, that is to play well and try our best to win. Our club, coaching staff, even Jamie and I, we will do our best to create such an environment and atmosphere for our teammates."

When Gerrard talked about this, he was quite proud and proud.

He is the captain and banner of Liverpool, but also the soul of the team.

Both he and Carragher were born and raised in the Liverpool youth training. Under their auspices, Yang Yang has indeed rarely heard news about conflicts in the Liverpool locker room.

Of course, there will definitely be minor problems, such as some players getting emotional when they can't play the ball.

Carragher also took up the conversation at this time, nodded and said: "Since you dared to wear my crotch last year, I think you are a tough guy. I like you. I believe that all Liverpool fans will like you too."

Raiola secretly winked at Yang Yang, and the latter understood.

Yang Yang did not express his opinion on the spot, but expressed his gratitude to Gerrard and Carragher for their reception, and left a phone call with Gerrard and Carragher.

"I am very much looking forward to fighting side by side with you!" Gerrard said sincerely.

"Me too." Yang Yang nodded.

During this trip, it was the first time for him to really feel the demeanor of Gerrard, the Liverpool captain.

…………

…………

After saying goodbye to Benitez, Gerrard and Carragher one after another, George Owen drove Yang Yang and others to leave Melwood for Liverpool John Lennon Airport and take a flight back to London.

Along the way, Yang Yang and Raiola exchanged views with each other.

"There is no doubt that Liverpool seems to be very sincere. Whether it is the head coach or Gerrard, they have shown a warm invitation. On this point, there is definitely no need to doubt it."

Raiola tried to analyze his current situation with Yang Yang.

"There are not many choices you can make now. Arsenal has basically withdrawn. Chelsea's first choice is Shevchenko. Unless you are willing to wait until they operate Shevchenko, whether they will operate you again, otherwise, the Blues can only be ranked behind."

"Manchester United is very sincere to you, but you have to know that Manchester United can't give you what Liverpool can give you now, because in Manchester United, Ferguson also has Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo. No matter how optimistic Ferguson is about you, you can't compete with Rooney, or even Cristiano Ronaldo."

Yang Yang nodded, because Rooney is a local player in England and the hope of the future.

Raiola said this to Yang Yang, meaning to remind him that when he arrived at Manchester United, he would at most be on an equal footing with Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo, and even this equality may not be achieved.

Van Nistelrooy was put on the transfer market by Ferguson because of his quarrel with the Portuguese.

Yang Yang has always been very clear in his heart that a player needs to be in a suitable tactical framework to show his strength, but if there is a conflict between the roles of two players in a team, what should we do?
Then it depends on who has a higher status in the team, and those with a lower status have to compromise or even transform.

The most direct example is Real Madrid.

When the Galacticos introduced a large number of stars such as Ronaldo and Zidane, as the soul banner of the original team, captain Raul stepped down from the original forward position, and even retreated again and again, and finally had to switch to play as a midfielder.

why?

Superstar comes first!

If you are not a superstar, if you go to Real Madrid, you can only become a stepping stone for a superstar!
Van der Vaart is the best example.

So, if Yang Yang goes to Manchester United now, he can't compete with Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo at all.

Of course, the best situation is for the three to co-exist harmoniously and form a trident, but how to allocate specific tactical powers, how to allocate the right to fire and the right to hold the ball?

This is another question!
Yang Yang's ability to score so many goals in Ajax all depends on him gaining the trust of Ronald Koeman and having unlimited firepower.

This is something that other Ajax players don't have.

Because Yang Yang is the first brother of Ajax!
Chicken head or phoenix tail, there is no choice in professional football.

What's more, even if Manchester United is Phoenix, Liverpool is not grass chicken.

The Red Army has shown enough competitiveness in recent years, the only problem is the team's offense.

The arrival of Yang Yang is to solve this problem and realize the promise Benitez made when he coached Liverpool two years ago.

He will bring out a powerful Red Army with a balanced offense and defense in three years!

"From the current point of view, Liverpool is undoubtedly the most suitable team for you." Raiola said with certainty.

Yang Yang knew it well.

Back then, the reason why he chose Raiola as his agent was because he admired Raiola's negotiation skills and career planning for players.

Now, even Raiola thinks that he should join Liverpool, so Yang Yang basically has nothing to worry about.

Sometimes, the transfer is to do one's best and obey the destiny.

No one knows what will happen next, so it can only be rooted in front of the eyes.

"Okay, then you can talk to Liverpool." Yang Yang replied affirmatively.

Raiola said with certainty, "I will definitely help you negotiate a big contract, so that you can reach the level of European first-line players in terms of fame, strength, or salary."

Yang Yang has no doubts about Raiola's negotiating ability.

"During this period of time, you can arrange it freely, whether you want to go on vacation or go back to China to rest, it doesn't matter, but when you are interviewed by the media, you'd better keep your mouth shut and don't reveal a word."

Raiola reminded, "You can personally be invited to visit Melwood, which in itself has released the greatest sincerity to Liverpool, and then, you need the other party to show enough sincerity in terms of salary."

Speaking of this, the Italian fat man showed his iconic smirk, "Currently, the player with the highest annual salary in Liverpool is Steven Gerrard, who has reached a weekly salary of [-] pounds. After Gerrard first broke through [-] pounds a week last year, local players such as Ferdinand, Lampard and John Terry have also successively exceeded [-] pounds."

"As far as I know, Chelsea's contract for Shevchenko is as high as 12 pounds, so this time, Liverpool must show enough sincerity anyway, at least not too low."

The weekly salary of 15 pounds, according to the current exchange rate between the pound and the euro, is about 40.00 euros, after deducting the Premier League tax rate of [-]%, that is, about [-] euros after tax.

Yang Yang's after-tax salary at Ajax is [-] euros, which is about [-] euros after tax, which is completely within the range of Liverpool.

It just seems that Raiola is not just satisfied with doubling.
