Chapter 512

Liverpool finally changed hands!

Following the Red Devils Manchester United, the century-old Red Army was finally acquired by a wealthy businessman from the United States, and the purchase price was as high as 7000 million pounds.

This piece of news immediately aroused huge repercussions in Europe and even the world football.

After the Red Army had just defeated Barcelona [-]-[-] in an away game, a wealthy American businessman completed the acquisition, which made everyone in Liverpool, including former boss David Morse, extremely excited.

The die-hard Liverpool fan said with excitement that Liverpool will usher in a new era!

The two new bosses also quickly sent two heavy meeting gifts, that is, they promised to increase the transfer investment in the club, and at the same time they will build a new stadium that can accommodate [-] fans.

When Rick Parry was interviewed by the media, he said excitedly that this will allow Liverpool to reach a higher level in terms of ticket revenue and business operations.

Gerrard and Benitez have also accepted media interviews and publicly expressed their welcome to the two American investors.

It can almost be said that the whole city welcomes these two investors and places high hopes on them.

The Red Army is too eager for revival!

This team has been down for too long!
With teams such as Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal successively being funded by investors and their competitiveness soaring, Liverpool too much needs a sum of external funds to help the team improve its overall competitiveness.

From the previous Dubai consortium to the combination of Hicks and Gillett today, they are all products of this desire.

……

Liverpool's management and the team are indeed two different levels of operation.

However, after the management announced the success of the acquisition by American investors, not only the morale of the fans soared, but also the team's fighting spirit, because the new owner promised that as long as the team performed well, everyone would get a salary increase.

On the weekend, the team sits at Anfield Stadium to face Sheffield United.

Hicks and Gillett made their first appearance at Anfield and came to the dressing room before the game to meet the players.

Apart from Gerald, whom Hicks and Gillette had met a long time ago, it was Yang Yang who impressed Hicks and Gillett the most.

This is not just because Yang Yang is Chinese.

"In American media magazines, you can often see your news." Hicks boasted with a smile.

Yang Yang's first impression of this tall Texan can only be regarded as ordinary, he looks like a businessman.

Yang Yang's hometown in Quanzhou is the most active area of ​​private capital in China. Almost all the people are engaged in business. He has no prejudice against businessmen, but because of his personality, he doesn't like people who talk too much.

Hicks clearly falls into this category.

But no matter what, Yang Yang still maintained a friendly attitude, thanking him for his admiration.

Hicks and Gillett obviously also intended to impress the Liverpool players when they first met, so he took the initiative to mention the game bonus, but judging from a lot of details, they don't understand football.

However, it doesn't matter.

Members of the Glazer family don't understand football, but they can still run Manchester United well.

Everyone is full of confidence in Hicks and Gillett's business plan, especially after they decide to inject capital into the team, not only will Liverpool's player treatment be improved to a certain extent, but it will also become more competitive in the transfer market.

For example Mascherano.

This Argentine player with very complicated ownership had no way to transfer to Liverpool due to the high price. He could only come to the team on loan. However, after the arrival of the new boss, the team promised that as long as he performed well, he could be bought out immediately, which made him more motivated.

……

In the ensuing Premier League, Benitez rotated seven players in one breath.

Because a week later, the team will face Manchester United at home, and after the double red meeting, the team will usher in the second round of Barcelona's game, so he needs to rotate.

And the opponent Sheffield United in this game is not strong.

Benitez played a four-four-two formation, with Crouch partnering veteran Robbie Fowler up front.

As a result, in just 10 minutes of the opening, Crouch was kicked by the opponent's brow when he was fighting for the top, but Fowler calmly pushed and hit, opening the scoring for Liverpool.

Subsequently, Crouch bleeding, was replaced by Dirk.

Five minutes later, Gerrard set up Robbie Fowler for another goal, giving Liverpool a two-goal lead.

After changing sides to fight again in the second half, Liverpool took advantage of a corner kick and Hyypia scored a goal.

Three minutes later, Mascherano passed the ball, Fowler made a diagonal pass, and Gerrard scored with a strong shot, four to zero!
Liverpool won a complete victory at home!
This is a gift from Liverpool players to the two new bosses!
……

Yang Yang did not appear in the game squad, and Benitez arranged for him to rest, but he sat in the stands with Xavi Alonso and other players to watch the game.

He paid the most attention to Mascherano, because the Argentine midfielder performed very well in this game.

In this game, Gerrard and Mascherano partnered in the middle of the midfield. The former was the main attacker and the latter was the main defender. Mascherano performed almost perfectly and did not give Sheffield United any chance.

Not to mention the wide range of running, there are also several very beautiful interceptions, which have made great contributions on the defensive end and ensured the stability of the team's defense. At the same time, he is not the pure defensive player as rumored by the outside world.

For the team's fourth goal, Mascherano passed the ball to Fowler, and Fowler assisted Gerrard to score. This pass showed Mascherano's organizational thinking.

"He belongs to the typical Argentine midfielder, similar to Redondo." Harvey Alonso is obviously full of praise for his partner's debut.

Of course, Yang Yang knew that Redondo, the former main midfielder of Real Madrid, was once the world's top midfielder, and he was named with Guardiola.

As for Redondo, Yang Yang's impression mainly comes from the media and other people. They all say that he is an elegant organizational midfielder, but Harvey Alonso obviously doesn't think so.

"They are a controlling deep midfielder."

"Control type?"

"Well, Redondo's defensive ability is actually very strong, and many small moves are relatively dirty, and there are even some rough moves, but at the same time he has very good organization and passing ability."

Speaking of this, Xavi Alonso pointed to Mascherano on the field, "Javier Mascherano came from the football school of the Solari family. His characteristics are very similar to Redondo. You can see him."

The Solari family is rich in stars. For example, Solari, who once played for Real Madrid and Inter Milan, is their second generation. Their family runs a football school in Argentina and has trained many players. Mascherano is one of them.

Redondo married the daughter of the Solari family, and Yang Yang vaguely remembered whether it was the cousin or cousin of Solari from Inter Milan.

"I think Benitez will like him." Yang Yang said softly.

Mohamed Sissoko is indeed very good, but his feet are rough and his awareness is not enough. On the contrary, Mascherano has a very good defense, but at the same time he has quite good technical skills and ability to organize and pass the ball.

Javi Alonso nodded: "Remember that pair in Valencia?"

"Albelda and Baraja."

"Yes, this pair is known as the strongest double defensive midfielder in Europe, and it is also Benitez's favorite."

When Yang Yang heard this, after thinking about it for a while, he immediately understood.

In Valencia it was Albelda and Baraja, but in Liverpool it was Xavi Alonso and Mascherano?
These two pairs of midfielders and double defensive midfielders are definitely a combination with strong control ability. Although they are slightly different, they are very balanced on the whole, and they have great impact on both offensive and defensive ends.

And Yang Yang has a feeling that if, instead of Mohamed Sissoko, but Javier Mascherano on tonight when playing Barcelona, ​​then the first goal will not be conceded at all, and even Liverpool can create a bigger score.

Of course, this is just a feeling.

"It seems that you have to get used to your new partner." Yang Yang laughed.

Harvey Alonso shrugged, "I don't need to run in with him."

Even if some players have never cooperated before, they are born with the potential to attract each other and call each other.

…………

…………

Liverpool beat their opponents by four goals again!

After the game, the Red Army was unanimously affirmed by the outside world, especially after the team rotated seven main players, they were able to win a big victory, which shows that the overall strength of the Red Army has been recognized.

Veteran Robbie Fowler scored twice, which made him a lot of recognition.

With the joining of Yang Yang and Dirk, coupled with Crouch and other players occupying the main position, Robbie Fowler did not get too many opportunities, but this veteran is not willing to be a substitute, so he is likely to leave the team this summer.

Gerrard was elected as the best player of the game. After partnering with Mascherano in this game, he can do his best to let go and attack. This is regarded as the key to Liverpool's four-goal victory.

And everyone has also appealed, hoping that Benitez can release Gerrard's attack power to the fullest.

The outstanding performance of the new aid Mascherano is to let everyone see the possibility of the team's stable midfield, but to replace Mohamed Sissoko, Mascherano still needs a little time and opportunity.

After all, Sissoko also performed quite eye-catching in the away game against Barcelona.

While Liverpool defeated Sheffield United [-]-[-] at home, Manchester United also had no danger in their away game against Fulham. Although they were scored by their opponents first, goals from Ryan Giggs and Cristiano Ronaldo helped Manchester United reverse Fulham [-]-[-].

Arsenal relied on Diaby's goal to narrowly beat Aston Villa [-]-[-] away.

Chelsea beat Manchester City [-]-[-] thanks to Lampard's penalty.

After 28 rounds, Manchester United leads the Premier League standings with 66 points, Liverpool is three points behind, Chelsea is 55 points, and Arsenal is fourth with [-] points.

As for the Premier League scorer list, Yang Yang still scored [-] goals, Drogba scored [-] goals, and Cristiano Ronaldo followed with [-] goals.

In this case, the second double red game of this season will come again as promised.
