Football’s First Defender

Chapter 372: Spend small money on big things

   In Yang Feng’s memory, he only knows that the season will be the season in which Liverpool will kill all quarters in the original history, and it will be Liverpool’s closest season to the Premier League championship trophy. If it were not for the key return error of the Jie team...

The equally powerful Liverpool relies on the team’s terrifying offensive firepower. The 3s combination showed extremely terrifying scoring capabilities that season. Sterling was omnipotent on the wing, while Suarez played with Sturridge's 2s striker dominated the Premier League gold and silver boots.

   As for the later Coutinho, Liverpool at the time can only be said to be the icing on the cake, really blooming his own light, or wait until Suarez leaves the team.

   However, the 3s combination is powerful enough to become Europe's top striker.

   Suarez's ability to get rid of the penalty area, as well as superb shooting skills, was originally one of the top forwards in world football, and then moved to Barcelona at a high price. It is also the msn combination and the absolute killer in the penalty area.

Not to mention Sterling. Although young, he emerged in Liverpool. In just two seasons, he has evolved into Liverpool’s "thigh". Although he has always been weak in shooting, his strong breakthrough ability still allows Manchester City spent a staggering 49 million pounds, earning it the highest value for an English player.

   If anyone's career is unsatisfactory, I'm afraid Sturridge is still suffering from injuries.

  Perhaps for many players, all the honors that Sturridge has pursued in his life have already been obtained when he was young.

   Throughout his career, he has also been filled with various club honors on his brilliant resume.

   However, so many honors are rarely won by Sturridge as a main force, and more are achievements made as a substitute player.

   The development trajectory of his entire career, the biggest opponent, or injury, is his "glass man" attribute.

   However, the glory of at least one season is the most real.

At the beginning of this season, when Yang Feng saw the list of Liverpool signings for the new season, he found that there were no Sturridge and Coutinho, these two Liverpool players who were very important next season, he thought he appeared. Has changed history.

   Now it seems that Sturridge joined in the winter window, so there is half a season of running-in. Liverpool's competitiveness in the next season may be stronger than in history because of Yang Feng's joining.

   But where did Coutinho go? This is also what Yang Feng is very concerned about.

Although in the current strength comparison, because Yang Feng is supporting the team's defense, even if there is no Coutinho who is still a new player, as long as there is a combination of 3s, Liverpool's team strength is definitely better than the original history. Be stronger.

   But how can Kubird be a big-name football player in the future. If he can join Liverpool according to the original trajectory, it will also be a huge addition to Liverpool's current lineup.

   After rushing to finalize the transfer of Sturridge, Rodgers's supplement to midfielders is also groping in the transfer market.

   The first choice is to look at the Premier League.

   It's just that, in the rough style of the Premier League, it is not easy to find players with strong skills and excellent technical skills.

   It’s not like there are players who can be competent in the midfielder position like Liverpool, but they are basically monopolized by other giant teams.

   A technical midfielder that can adapt to the Premier League is inherently a scarce product. In this era of fierce competition for the Champions League and Champions League qualifications, no one will "get enemies" in the middle of the season.

   As for the middle and lower teams, there are only a few midfielders that Rogers can see, but they are all well-deserved midfield cores of each team.

   If you say Xia Chuang, it may have been sold at a high price, but in the winter window, if you sell your core players, and you can’t complete the relegation, if you sell your core players, the club will lose a lot.

You know, the current quota of a Premier League place is calculated in "100 million pounds." The transfer fee of 10 million pounds given by Liverpool is compared to the loss if they are relegated. Many teams really don't see it. Upper eye.

   In terms of midfield signings, he was extremely unfavorable from the beginning, which caused Rogers a headache. However, the speed of Sturridge's integration into the team also made Rogers very pleased.

   During the game on January 3, Sturridge had just joined the team and only had one day of training, so Rogers did not include him in the big list for this game.

Rogers won Shaheen, who wanted to leave the team, and Suso, who did not perform well, placed the offensive formation of 4,231. Downing and Sterling, who had not played in multiple rounds, were separated from the left and the right, and were centered. He became Henderson, and then placed Gerrard and Lucas in the midfielder position.

   With such a tactical change, the offensive effect received was pretty good. Abandoning a certain amount of transmission and control to enhance the breakthrough ability of the side lanes, it quickly achieved results.

   Sterling hit the goal after breaking through the inside cut from the wing, and set the first record for the team.

   In any game where Liverpool's offensive can quickly produce results, Liverpool's performance throughout the game is actually guaranteed.

   After the game, Liverpool, who had more control over the initiative, scored twice by Suarez and fixed the score at 3-0, successfully defeating the "Black Cat" Sunderland at home.

   Counting the league victory over qpr before the new year, Liverpool, which finally won a winning streak once again, ended the difficult Christmas schedule with a record of 6 points.

   And the FA Cup game three days later is the moment when Rogers will test Sturridge.

   After several training sessions, familiar with Liverpool's tactics, and the corresponding players, the third round of the FA Cup will be Sturridge's debut in Liverpool.

   Rogers, who originally planned to take a rotation, also sent all the starting players in this game for the first time to test Sturridge's ability to integrate into the team in actual combat.

   3 to 2, Liverpool took the game at home without any risk.

  The fatigue of the team's continuous battles is undoubtedly obvious. Facing the opponents in the lower leagues, Liverpool has put in the main force and has not shown the dominance it deserves.

   However, the most striking thing is Sturridge's performance.

   In his first show, he scored a goal and contributed an assist. With his outstanding performance, Sturridge conquered Rogers, conquered the audience, and perfectly integrated into the Liverpool team's tactical system.

   The cost of 12 million pounds is absolutely not lost.

   And taking advantage of the FA Cup as a buffer ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ the Premier League has to wait a week, Rogers dedicated all his energy to personnel adjustments.

   Carroll is still let go, leaving on loan for West Ham United. No surprise, as long as Carroll can perform in the second half of the season, West Ham will complete the final transfer in accordance with the preemptive right of 20 million pounds.

   Shaheen left England to go to the Bundesliga team Dortmund, which is more suitable for his rhythm.

  Other youth training and reserve team players left on loan, so Rogers doesn’t need to worry more.

   Even though Henderson performed well in the two games where he was promoted to the main midfielder, Rogers still wanted to find a potential midfielder to complement the team's bench depth.

   8.5 million pounds, Rogers quoted Coutinho on the bench of Inter Milan.

  Since the Premier League is not suitable, Serie A, which also has a certain defensive strength, is Rogers' second goal.

   Rogers, who has witnessed Sturridge's talent fulfilled, has set his sights on this young player who has become famous and is now depressed.

And Inter Milan also happily let go. After all, compared to the original investment, Inter Milan sold Coutinho who had no chance to play in the team at this time and earned a price difference of several million pounds. By the way, he cleared a redundant player. .

   12 million pounds to buy Sturridge, 8.5 million pounds to buy Coutinho, Rogers this winter, the only two-handed operation, perhaps in the future, fully proves what is meant by spending small money to do big things...
