The Ball at Your Feet

After celebrating the Champions League victory, Liverpool officially entered the holiday, but the players are on holiday, which does not mean that the Liverpool team can rest. m*/.//*At this time, in the Liverpool team, the team’s owner Morse, manager Parry and coach Benitez are also discussing the transfer plan for the summer.

"We have a lot of money to spend this summer." Benitez pointed out the topic straightforwardly.

Champions League champions represent more than just an honor, and at the same time they bring a lot of money and benefits. For Liverpool, this money is simply a good thing like a long drought.

“Let’s talk about what we need to spend this year.” The club’s chairman Morse, manager Parry and coach Benitez are at the top of Liverpool. The cost of this money is also the three of them. The individual has the final say-in fact, Morse and Parry have the final say. But because Benitez has just won the Champions League and he has always made a lot of suggestions, Morse proposed to let him discuss together how the money should be spent.

"First of all, we have to pay the debt." Speaking of this issue, Morse said, "We owe about 30 million in debt, I think, this money must be paid first."

"We can still owe a while because of our credibility." Parry frowned.

"No, I have to pay it back." Morse refused. "You know, the Premier League boss needs a big investment now. I don't have much money. It's impossible to be the boss again. I won't be in this position again. How long have I been doing it. If possible, within a year or two, I will sell Liverpool. I want to find a rich boss for Liverpool, and then let him inject capital for Liverpool. Therefore, I don’t want to leave Liverpool debts, if Liverpool owes too much debt, there won’t be many people willing to take over, and...when we build the Stanley Stadium in the future, we have to pay back loans. Reputation is very important to us and we have to be careful."

In fact, Morse didn't tell the truth. He still has a little selfishness of his own. He doesn't want to leave Liverpool with a mess of debt. Although the new boss will not care, this will make him lose his position in the hearts of the fans.

Parry and Benitez also understand his careful thinking, but why bother to expose this kind of words?

"That's a lot of money..." Parry murmured, "Thirty million yuan is enough to buy several people."

"But this money has to be spent." Morse continued, "Also, we still have a few dollars that we can't save. First, we have to renew Stephen and Joey.. Give them a salary increase. The top level in the Premier League."

"You mean the top of the Premier League..."

"Stephen's weekly salary of 100,000 pounds, Joey increased to 90,000 pounds a week." Morse thought for a while before speaking, "We also have to follow Chelsea and Manchester United. Our players are not worse than them."

How do I feel that you are more like a nouveau riche... Benitez said to himself in his heart.

"This destroys the wage balance!" Parry immediately objected. "One of the reasons for Liverpool's success is that our wages are very economical. 80% of other teams' expenses are wages, and we only have 56%! This is our success. Place."

"Where do you see that Liverpool have been very successful over the years..." Benitez couldn't help but speak directly, "However, I also don't agree with salary increases. Our funds are not very rich, and Joey, Stephen said, they can understand."

"Yes, it is true, but when players should be rewarded, they have to be rewarded." Morse said, "Everyone like Chelsea pays high wages. I can't give it. It's too bad balance. . But I have to pay a weekly salary of 100,000."

"Then Zhao Yaning shouldn't raise his salary. He has only been here for a year, so he shouldn't raise his salary so soon. Moreover, he himself did not ask for a salary increase. This will encourage the players' greed!

"If you don't rise, you won't be able to keep people." Morse smiled bitterly. "We can't keep children like Michael. Now we have to pay to keep people. Greed or something, don't we? Wouldn't they be greedy if they didn't give a raise?"

"But why is he ninety thousand pounds, and Stephen is one hundred thousand..."

Benitez’s question was immediately interrupted by Morse. “This is necessary. The wages of local players are higher than those of foreign players. Chelsea’s Terry, Manchester United’s Ferdinand, Arsenal’s Campbell, are not all better than Robben, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Henry's salary is high?"

Benitez has nothing to object to this question: Isn't the highest salary in Madrid still Raul?

"Well, renewing the contract, repaying the debt, what other expenses are there?" Parry said helplessly.

"It's not just a few of them." Morse continued, "Harman, Traore, Kewell, Baroche, none of the ministers of merit in Istanbul can be let go. They all stay. Now we have money. , We can renew the contract, and we cannot let the team's meritorious servants leave the team like this."

This sentence made Benitez and Parry frowned together, "They all want to leave the team, they are useless, and..."

"The fans like them! And they have indeed contributed to the team! An Istanbul champion, how much honor did they bring to Liverpool? Do you have the heart to let such a person leave the club and live a life of upheaval? "Morse dissatisfied.

But we are not a asylum center, so we can’t leave everyone behind... Benitez is a little helpless, "Some people have already contacted the next family. For example, Baros, Dior, Biscain, they have all contacted. There are other places to go. If we force to stay, one is unnecessary, and the other is impossible."

"Try your best to stay. Those who are willing to stay cannot be driven away. Those who are willing to leave must also be blessed."

Benitez nodded and agreed to this statement. Although he admired Morse's friendship with the players, Benitez himself, for the Liverpool club, also has his own ideas. This money, he was not going to let Morse spend it all on how to renew a bunch of useless people.

"Our youth training camp needs investment. Besides, Melwood needs investment. I need a new group of coaches and team doctors. Especially the team doctors. Our team doctors are just a bunch of... IMHO, amateurs." Nites said, "They shouldn't treat humans, not to mention Liverpool, any professional team shouldn't let them take care of the players. We need to spend a certain amount of money to build a new youth training base, and at the same time We must invite a group of new team doctors and training personnel to update our training equipment and medical equipment, and at the same time, to lay down the scout network for our team. I have already said about this issue a long time ago. This money cannot be Save it."

Morse and Parry were silent for a while before they spoke, "It is okay to find a team doctor, but the current team doctor cannot be dismissed. Liverpool has its own traditions, and we cannot violate the tradition... So, I want to stay. Just drop them and then introduce a new medical team and coaching staff."

This sentence made Benitez even more frowning, and Parry was unhappy, "This is a lot of money. It takes 30 million to repay the bill. The construction of the youth academy-the reconstruction of the Chelsea youth academy last year. , It cost 50 million pounds. I have read your report. We don’t need to go around like them to buy hope stars from various countries, but it also costs a lot of money. Medical equipment, training equipment, and more After re-laying the scouting system, which one does not need money? This way of spending money, our bonus of more than one billion is not enough."

"About how much money can be left?" Benitez asked.

Parry figured it out in his heart, "If you count it all, you will end up with a transfer fee of less than 20 million yuan."

These words made Morse and Benitez look at each other. 200,000 transfer fee?

Michael Essien, the hottest speculation in the transfer market, has a transfer fee of more than £200,000 per person!

Since winning the Champions League, Liverpool seemed to have returned to the top of Europe overnight. Now in Europe, there are so many players who wink like Liverpool. Walcott of Southampton claims to be a Liverpool fan and a new player in Argentina. Aguero, a generation of Maradona’s successor, also claimed to be a Liverpool fan. It seems that countless Liverpool fans have been added to the sky, but these people can't be brought in without a sum of money.

200,000, enough for what? With this little money, even a world-class star can't buy it.

"This money is a little bit less... what we need to bring in is: a substitute forward who can be said to share the pressure for Moreau and Diego, or grab the main position. A main midfielder, settled in the backcourt. One side. Midfielder, it's best to play on both sides, always ready to rotate. A main full-back, used to replace Finnan. A main goalkeeper, used to replace Dudek. It is best to have a good defender, you can be content to do I have been on the bench for two years, but the level is sufficient, because we need him to succeed Hypia in the future...about six positions, and our transfer fee is about...200,000." Benitez looked at the price and couldn't bear it. He took a breath, "The money is too little."

Buying a big brand is not enough money, but it happens to buy six players. Although Benitez estimated that for those who are going to leave, Baroche can still sell for a little bit, and in the end he should be able to make up 250,000 pounds, but the money is still a bit pitiful...

"Rafa~www.ltnovel.com~ I have no money." Morse lowered his head in embarrassment, "I can't give you much help. This 200,000 yuan, that is, all our transfer fees... …"

"Do I have the final say about the transfer?" Benitez interrupted him and asked, "I said that anyone can bring in, right?"

"Theoretically this is the case, but we'd better discuss it." Parry frowned. "If you want to spend a lot of money to introduce an unknown person, I would definitely not agree. Which player to introduce, you said. Forget it. But I’m responsible for the negotiation process. You know, sometimes the power of an agent will inevitably affect the signing of coaches. We do this to avoid unnecessary trouble."

"The total transfer amount of 200,000, what kind of big price..." Benitez mumbled, "Just let me be responsible for providing the transfer list, 200,000, I can always buy some people."

200,000 is a bit less, but you can't buy a sofa, you can always buy a stool. As long as I don't give me a lamp, I can always get the team on the right track.
