Chapter 615 Internal and external difficulties

On the afternoon of December 22, Anfield Stadium.

In the No.18 Premier League round, before the home game against Portsmouth, Liverpool fans came to the stadium earlier than usual.

Because they know that before the game, the team will hold a special celebration.

Yang Yang, who has just received the World Footballer of the Year from the Zurich Opera House in Switzerland, will show all Liverpool fans the World Footballer of the Year trophy he just won, as well as the European Ballon d'Or trophy at the Anfield Stadium.

Liverpool fans are also full of expectations for this, everyone came to the stadium early.

Before the game, before the referee led the players of the two teams into the stadium, Yang Yang, holding a trophy in one hand, accompanied by the club's general manager Rick Parry, came out of the player tunnel and came to the middle of the stadium.

In an instant, the entire Anfield stadium burst into thunderous applause, and more than 5 fans cheered in unison.

This is the first World Player of the Year in the history of the Premier League and even England's top league. This honor will always belong to Liverpool, just like Irving was the first to win the European Ballon d'Or for England's top league.

All this is the glory of Liverpool, recorded in the history of the club.

Although it has been three days since he won the award, Yang Yang still looks very happy. He raised the trophy with both hands high in the stadium and swung it towards the fans in the stands, showing the results of his hard work in the past season.

The Liverpool fans cheered and applauded continuously for a long time.

The commentator of the stadium also kept introducing Yang Yang's contribution to the team in the past year, as well as the honors and championships he has won for the team since joining the team, which made the fans in the stands even more excited.

Fans began to call out the league champion one after another, and more and more, the momentum was getting bigger and bigger.

In the minds of Liverpool fans, the Premier League championship has extraordinary significance.

In fact, in the eyes of the Premier League team, the weight of the Premier League champion is not lost to the Champions League champion.

Of course, this is not to say that the Champions League is not important, but because the Premier League champions have a very large harvest, and the income is not even lost to the Champions League. In addition, local fans attach great importance to the Premier League, so to a certain extent, the weight of the Premier League champions is not lost to the Champions League.

But for Liverpool, the league championship is not just a matter of money, it is also related to Liverpool's revival.

When more and more fans shouted for the league championship, many fans also unfurled banners telling the Americans to get out, which made Rick Parry's expression very embarrassing.

Liverpool's recent financial situation is not ideal, and the two American bosses have basically stopped coming to Anfield.

The reason for all this is that, not long ago, Wachovia Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland announced separately that they would temporarily suspend a loan plan of up to [-] million pounds for Liverpool's two American bosses for as long as one year.

In other words, before [-], the bank will not approve the loan plan of Liverpool's two American owners.

As early as February this year, the two American owners acquired Liverpool with a loan of 6000 million pounds from the Royal Bank of Scotland. At the same time, they announced that they would spend [-] million pounds to build a new stadium that can accommodate [-] fans.

But half a year later, after layers of disclosure by the media, especially after the US subprime mortgage crisis, everyone gradually discovered that the two American bosses simply did not have that much money to operate such a large project.

Especially after this bank loan of up to [-] million pounds was put on hold, Liverpool was caught off guard.

The project approval for the new stadium has come down, but the loan cannot be approved, especially after the media digs deeper, it is found that the two American owners have gone bankrupt before and are not financially well off at all, so the bank is not at ease with them.

It is said to be on hold, but in fact it is almost impossible to approve it.

Just like the relationship between Manchester United and the Glazer family, the two American bosses are in financial crisis, and Liverpool is also not much better. According to the current debt situation, Liverpool will have to pay up to 3000 million pounds in interest every year since [-], which will bring heavy operating pressure to Liverpool.

Even, with the arrival of the winter break transfer, the outside world has been rumored that Liverpool will not rule out selling a group of players such as Crouch and Riise in exchange for considerable funds to improve the club's operating conditions.

As Liverpool's most valuable player, the outside media has been rumored that if Liverpool receives a suitable offer, Yang Yang will not be ruled out to be put on the transfer market, but Liverpool must get a transfer fee of at least 8000 million euros.

Even before the media revealed that Liverpool rejected Barcelona's offer of 6000 million euros.

In this case, not to mention the fans, even team captain Gerrard was very annoyed, because he had welcomed the two American bosses with his hands before, but who would have thought that the final result would be like this?

……

Rumors from the outside world are disturbing, and the Liverpool team is also panicking.

As the team's number one star, Yang Yang is also duty-bound.

Just this morning he had talks with Rick Parry, Benitez, Gerrard and Carragher at the Hope Street Hotel.

Rick Parry solemnly promised on behalf of the club management that the club currently has no plans to sell players, except for Mohamed Sissoko, because this player has long wanted to leave the team.

The general manager of the club also appeased Yang Yang, saying that the team would never sell Crouch, which was a false rumor in the media, and also did not receive an offer from Barcelona, ​​because according to the rules, the club should notify the player's agent after receiving the offer.

If no offer is received, the player will naturally not be sold.

Rick Parry also solemnly promised that the club's finances will not affect the team's operations. Even if the team's performance is better this year and they can perform in both the Premier League and the Champions League, the club will spend a considerable amount of financial income on the summer transfer market to continue to strengthen the team's overall strength.

As for the winter break, the club is in full swing to finalize a central defender.

Of course, with Liverpool's current situation, it is impossible to break into the first-line central defenders of the four major leagues.

To put it simply, it is to continue scratching the lottery.

After introducing the club's operating conditions, Rick Parry also hopes that Yang Yang, Gerrard and Carragher can play a role in stabilizing the players in the locker room to ensure that the team's performance on the court will not be affected by the outside world.

Rick Parry also veiledly revealed that the club is negotiating an acquisition with a DIG consortium from Dubai. This consortium had been interested in acquiring Liverpool as early as February, but lost out to Gillette and Hicks in the competition.

Now, Liverpool are in financial trouble and they are making a comeback.

……

Yang Yang is also quite helpless about Liverpool's situation.

Capital operation is a major feature of the Premier League, not only for Liverpool and Manchester United, but also for Arsenal and other teams. Unless they get a big money like Chelsea, but even so, Abramovich also tightened his money.

This is the case for the rich teams, and the other teams are even more unbearable.

For example, Everton in the same city, they even mortgaged Rooney to the bank before, in exchange for funds to run the team.

Yang Yang is neither familiar nor interested in this kind of capital operation.

The current situation of Liverpool was something he did not expect when he joined that year, because at that time he did not know that Liverpool would be acquired by the Americans, nor did he know that there would be a subprime mortgage crisis in the United States, which would cause the assets of the two American bosses to shrink sharply.

But in any case, now that the team has encountered this situation, it can only continue to move forward.

Whether it is public or private, Liverpool cannot be chaotic.

It's really messed up, it's not good for the club or Yang Yang himself.

But what's worse is that Yang Yang's physical condition has not been good for the past two days.

There is no injury, but the state feels a little unmotivated.

…………

…………

This pre-game celebration, which seemed like a false prosperity, was actually an undercurrent.

But under the auspices of Yang Yang, Gerrard and Carragher, Liverpool's dressing room is as stable and harmonious as ever. Even Mohamed Sissoko, who is determined to leave the team, still trains and prepares for games as usual every day.

In the No.18 round of the Premier League, Liverpool's opponent is Portsmouth.

The Pompeii Legion have won one and three draws in the past four games, remaining unbeaten, and Redknapp's team has played fairly steadily.

Benitez also played the main force in this game.

In the 13th minute of the opening game, Yang Yang dribbled the ball into the penalty area, picked up a pass and hit the goal, followed by a goal, opening the scoring for Liverpool.

Three minutes later, Liverpool was in a quick counterattack. Yang Yang took the ball from the front of the penalty area and hit the goal directly.

No. 307 minutes, Mascherano steals the ball in the midfield and makes a direct pass. Yang Yang enters the penalty area from the left and passes back to the middle in an inverted triangle. Crouch keeps up with the push and hits, [-]-[-]!
After securing the victory, Liverpool began to play more safely.

Everyone can also clearly see that the club's financial crisis has little impact on the performance of the players on the court.

Yang Yang also played very hard in the game, trying very hard to find opportunities. After he contributed two assists and created an own goal, he even tried hard to score a goal.

Because he has scored goals in every game except the first round of the league so far this season, and he hopes to continue this state.

But until the No.70 minute of the second half, when Benitez replaced him, Yang Yang failed to score.

But the Liverpool fans at the scene still gave him warm applause and cheers, shouting his name.

Although he didn't score a goal, but with two assists, Yang Yang's performance was very eye-catching.

After Yang Yang went off the field, Portsmouth scored a goal, and Liverpool also made another goal by Gerrard. In the end, they defeated Portsmouth [-]-[-] at home.

But Yang Yang's momentum of consecutive goals was interrupted.

　Sorry, something happened at home in the morning, so it's too late to update, please forgive me!
