Football’s First Defender

Chapter 352: Reinforcement and cleaning

At the time of Yang Feng’s wedding, Rogers had officially resigned from Swansea after the end of the Premier League season, took over the coach from Dalglish, and entered Anfield!

For the newcomer Rogers, he is destined to not have much vacation this summer.

The management of the Fenway Group gave Rogers a large part of the power to let Rogers go in the transfer market, acquire players that are more in line with his future tactical system, and streamline and clean existing players.

Of course, at the time Dalglish's proposal to retain Suarez, Gerrard, Henderson and Yang Feng on the team's existing central axis, Liverpool's senior management still relayed it to Rogers.

For Rogers, when deciding to take over Liverpool, Rogers had a detailed understanding of Liverpool's current lineup reserves.

Rogers is also very optimistic about this group of young people who have become the main force of the team except Gerrard.

As the flag of Liverpool and the captain of Liverpool, Rogers is worried about Gerrard's game state and whether his physical fitness can keep up with the team's new tactics, but Gerrard is definitely Liverpool's. An inevitable choice. For this, Rogers knows that no matter how much power the management gives him, it cannot be changed.

Of course, for a pure Liverpool man, he still desires the core of honor. Rogers also believes that there will be no problems with Gerrard's professional attitude.

For Liverpool's love, Rogers believes that Gerrard must be more profound than himself.

Although the European Cup opened after a short break of one or two weeks in the major leagues, many outstanding European players have struggled to show themselves in this cup.

In each cup, there will be good stars who will further increase their worth by being watched in the cup.

However, Rogers from the small club Swansea, even if the team gave a part of the budget, he did not spend a lot of money in the transfer market.

Rogers did not directly buy those who have already made famous players in the transfer market, proving his long-standing veterans.

Instead, take the initiative to choose some younger players who are still malleable and use their energy and desire for honor to contribute to Liverpool's future.

The European Cup is in full swing, but for those players who do not have the task of the European Cup, naturally there is no possibility of taking the opportunity to increase their value.

In his first week as Liverpool coach, Rogers compiled a list of available signings and the possibility of the team wanting to purge players in the future.

The reason why Dalglish ended his coaching career early, left Liverpool by resignation, and gave up the coaching position to Rogers, is to improve the team's current tactical arrangement.

Rogers is a coach with a clear focus on technical genre. Compared with England's traditional long pass and wide pass, Rogers's first step in Liverpool's transformation is to strengthen the team's ability to handle the ball.

The most important thing about the technical flow of playing is that the team can control the ball. For this reason, Rogers has decided to abandon most of the players who lack technical support from the team.

The signings and the purge of the players are all in Liverpool's offseason, and the transfer department is responsible.

While buyers still need negotiation skills to drive down offers, Rogers did a good job of cleaning up players as the first step.

Kuyt, a veteran who has dedicated to Liverpool for many years, chose to leave because of his own decline due to his age, so as to make more room for Liverpool's salary.

Kuyt's low-cost transfer to the Turkish Super League team is Liverpool's first-hand action for the new season.

Spearing, who had a good performance last season, chose to let go under Rogers' entanglement and loaned it to Bolton, the British crown.

Although Spearing used active running and pressing in the final stage of the last season, his performance was fairly good, but the problem of his lack of liveliness also limited his future embarrassment in Liverpool's technical football reform.

Of course, Rogers did not want to completely give up this active running, and is a midfielder trained by Liverpool's youth training, so he is only on loan instead of selling to Bolton.

Rogers hopes that Spilling can get enough playing time in the new team, so that he can accumulate more game experience, sharpen his football skills, and prepare for returning to Liverpool.

In the case of constant cleaning of players, Liverpool's signings, of course, dare not care too much.

Liverpool’s first signing was to bring Rogers’ direct Swansea player, midfielder Joe Allen, to Anfield for £15 million.

In response to Liverpool's current lack of ability to control the ball in the midfield, Rogers' acquisition target would have been dominated by midfielders.

Joe Allen was successfully seen by Swansea on the face of the transfer fee, and after being released, Liverpool's midfield strength has increased to a certain extent.

The player's departure continues. After Kuyt chose to transfer and leave because of his age ~lightnovelpub.net~, other veterans naturally could not win the attention of Rogers, who plans to promote youth storm.

Bellamy and Maxi have received clear instructions from Rogers that they are not in the team's plan for next season.

Bellamy, who still feels he can still play his remaining heat, chose to join Cardiff City at a low price.

And Maxi ended his many years of experience in Europe. At the age of more than 30, he returned to his home country of Argentina, joined the old boys team, and continued to work hard in the professional arena.

Perhaps the most tangled thing about Rogers now is Carol's position.

Rogers, who wants to implement technical reforms, naturally can't tolerate Carroll, a very traditional center who can only header and grab points.

But once Carroll's worth is too high, Liverpool is not reconciled to let 35 million pounds have been on the bench.

Secondly, as one of the best high forwards in English football today, the presence of Carroll also allows Rogers to occasionally try a simple high-altitude bombing when the team desperately needs to score.

In the end, after a ideological struggle, Carroll was still left by Rogers, but in order to implement his offensive ideas, Rogers bought more systematic offensive players on the offensive end.

In order to form his own tactics, Rogers went to Italy to buy Roma striker Borini.

And from Real Madrid, he was directly loaned to Shaheen, who had no performance last season.

In the end, they spent another 2 million pounds each to buy two young midfielders to "scratch the lottery."

The barracks beaten with iron, the soldiers flowed.

When Rogers took office, he carried out a proper transformation and upgrade of the team's lineup during the offseason. As for whether Rogers' tactical ideas can be achieved, then it has to be tested in the new season.
