Chapter 255
2016 is the year of the European Cup. Portugal's historic victory in the championship shocked the world, but in the transfer market, the two South American players attracted the most attention.

The first is that Neymar publicly seeks to leave Barcelona, ​​which makes many people somewhat incomprehensible.

In the eyes of most people, the Brazilian king has long been Messi's successor. When Messi gets old, he will 100% become the new leader of the Cosmos team.

But when the media released a video, everyone understood.

That was the scene after Barcelona's 6-1 reversal of Lazio. As the biggest hero of the reversal, Neymar, who shot 2 passes and made 2 penalties, looked around with tears in his eyes, only to find that all his teammates ran to Messi's place around.

Everyone let out a sigh.

As a player who has longed to dominate the entire era from the very beginning, Neymar is obviously not like Suarez, Iniesta, and Harvey, who are willing to act as green leaves for others for a long time.

On the one hand, Pique is still posting "he stays" on social media, but on the other hand, Paris Saint-Germain has already placed all liquidated damages on Neymar's account.

When Ronaldo raised the championship trophy with flushed face and teary eyes, Neymar finally made the final decision!

Staying in Barcelona will never make it!

He doesn't want to waste any more time!
On July 2016, 7, Neymar paid 1 million euros in liquidated damages and officially terminated the contract with Barcelona!

Ronaldo, who had just stood at the pinnacle of his life, was very depressed to find that the picture of himself toasting was instantly overwhelmed by the news of Neymar's transfer!

"The era of [-] million yuan has officially arrived!"
-
Neymar switched to Paris, and Barcelona naturally wanted to find his replacement. They quickly aimed at Coutinho, who played a world in Liverpool.

Compared with Neymar, Kubird's talent is obviously inferior, but it is the green leaf that Messi needs. He is short in stature, delicate in technique, good at long shots, excellent in the overall situation, and has a good relationship with another Barcelona striker...Suarez good.

Moore, the general manager of the Liverpool club, and Klopp, the head coach, once showed a tough attitude:

"Coutinho is our core player! Not for sale!"

"We haven't heard any offers!"

Lu Feng, who was renovating the house at home, was also asked this question by Yang Zhiyuan:
"What do you think about Coutinho's choice?"

Lu Feng threw away the design drawings in his hand:

"I respect the choice of any teammate. Barcelona is the top club in football and it is normal to want to play for it."

He said calmly:

"It's just that I hope he won't regret his choice in the future."

Someone immediately translated his answer into English and forwarded it to Coutinho. The Brazilian superstar showed a not-so-sunny smile:

"Why should I regret it? How could I regret it?"

Coutinho even sent a farewell message to Liverpool's group chat before leaving:
"Guys, I'm waiting for you in the Champions League!"
-
Compared with the farce in 2017 in history, Coutinho's back injury did not recur at this time, and he was not too sad.

The Liverpool club quickly approved his transfer application, and Barcelona paid a transfer fee of 1.3 million euros for this.

Coutinho's departure made Liverpool's midfield strength suddenly stretched. Only Henderson, Milner, Lallana, Wijnaldum, and Emre Can are the only players who can be used. As for Markovic, Grujic, and other young players, it is really difficult to meet Klopp's requirements.

Klopp once wanted to recall Gotze, the frustrated old player at Bayern, but was rejected by other high-level officials on the grounds that the German teenager was too glassy.

At this time, Lu Feng took the initiative to make suggestions to Klopp and the transfer committee:

"I hope to add a defensive midfielder, such as ... Leicester City's Kante."

Although he doesn't know how to defend, Lu Feng never underestimates defenders. If he can put Kanter behind him, he can charge forward without any scruples!
Of course, the club attaches great importance to his suggestion, but they have just begun to study it. Leicester City and Chelsea have reached an agreement:
On July 7, French midfielder N'Golo Kante moved to Chelsea for a transfer fee of about 16 million pounds!
The shot was too late, and Klopp could only look to other targets.

Wanyama at Southampton?

The fellow saints are no longer able to uncover the pot!

Udinese's Zielinski?
His defensive ability is not as good as Henderson!

Dortmund's Weigl?

The Hornet will not give Klopp, the meritorious coach, any face!

Instead, Joao Mario, Lu Feng's teammate at Sporting Lisbon, was cut off from Inter Milan by him!
Sporting Lisbon, who originally wanted to slap Inter Milan (4000 million + 500 million floating), only asked Liverpool for a transfer fee of 5 million because of the 3000 championships Lu Feng won for them. Jump off the building for a big sale.

Mario, who just won the European Cup with the Portuguese national team, is obviously the best organizer and passer around Ronaldo. His arrival can indeed help Liverpool's rough midfielders sort out their offense, but such a player who relies on dribbling for a living The players obviously cannot be wasted on the defensive end.

Transfer is an extremely complicated matter. You can’t buy all the players you want if you have a lot of money. After fighting openly and secretly for most of the summer, Liverpool still failed to poach any player with both fame and strength from the transfer market. lower back.

Except for the midfielder, Liverpool did not make any movement at the full-back. Instead, they sold the Spaniard Moreno who made big mistakes in the Europa League final-the once known as "Gerrard + Aaron". The "Xiaolongbao" of Suo Suo's successor returned to his hometown sadly.

With Skrtel's departure, Liverpool also relied on Klopp's connections to introduce two central defenders, Matip and Klavan, from the Bundesliga at a very low price, which can be regarded as strengthening the depth of the defensive bench.

Looking at the understaffed defense, a Chinese media couldn't help but make a suggestion:
"You can buy two defenders from China!"

Similar voices are actually not uncommon. For example, people often call for Zhang Linpeng to join Chelsea or Real Madrid, and must be given the main position. I don’t know how many peanuts these reporters have eaten...
-
When the time entered mid-July 2016, Liverpool's first-team roster was basically determined.

Goalkeepers: Mignolet, Karius, Manninger (new aid);

Defenders: Klein, Lovren, Matip (new aid), Klavan (new aid), Sakho, Gomez, Ilori;

Midfielders: Henderson (captain), Milner (deputy captain), Wijnaldum, Can, Lallana, Joao Mario (new aid);

Forwards: Lu Feng (returning on loan), Sturridge, Mane (new aid), Firmino, Origi, Ince.

Despite Lu Feng's thighs, Liverpool is still unattractive to most players.

First, they do not qualify for the Champions League or the Europa League;
Second, Liverpool's wages are not as good as those of Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Bayern, Real Madrid, and Barcelona;
Third, the city of Liverpool is not as developed as London or Manchester, and the climate conditions are even worse than Madrid and Barcelona.

Fourth, they have just gone through the acquisition, and all affairs in the team are not on the right track, and labor disputes are prone to occur.

On the first day of the training camp for the new season, Lu Feng looked at these teammates and didn't speak for a full three minutes.

Then he exhaled and smiled a little.

If at this time, he has gathered a full set of teammates from Salah, Ronaldo, Messi, De Bruyne, Kante, Robertson, Van Dijk, and Alisson, what is the meaning of the football world?
