Chapter 524: Team reinforcement

For Suarez’s 81 million euro transfer fee, Liverpool is asking for a buy-in price and does not accept installments.

Barcelona will directly release the money.

As for Liverpool, originally in the new season’s transfer window, there are tens of millions of funds for reinforcement. After all, the disadvantage of insufficient personnel on the bench has already emerged, plus the 80 million giant who sold Suarez. For the money, Liverpool want to make a stronger supplement to the entire team.

Although some people are worried, Liverpool will trade a big king for a bunch of "3, 4, 6, 7" like last year's Tottenham.

However, single-point reinforcement in today's football era, easily breaking through the 50 million era, can not buy people, Liverpool can only choose to buy more reliable and capable players.

And Rodgers was able to turn stones into gold and found that Sturridge and Coutinho's talents, Liverpool management decided to still believe in Rogers' vision.

Purchase a group of capable players and wait for the appreciation.

Only this time, Rogers' buyers began to focus more on the local Premier League.

After all, the style and rhythm of the Premier League game are different from other leagues.

Liverpool's goal this season is to fight for the team to defend the Premier League title, so the team can't afford to waste time waiting for new players to adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League.

By directly choosing players who are familiar with the rhythm of the Premier League, the team can form combat effectiveness as quickly as possible without delaying Liverpool's team goals for the new season.

Utilizing abundant funds, Liverpool is just inhumanely taking money directly into the face, digging into the corner of the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League.

It's just that although Manchester United is down, but the remaining power still exists.

Even though Liverpool are the Premier League champions, but in terms of soft power, there is still a huge gap compared to Manchester United, which has dominated the Premier League for 20 years.

Perhaps Manchester United's own buyers prefer more talented players in other leagues, but in the Premier League, some teams are still afraid of Manchester United's influence and do not choose to negotiate with Liverpool's offer.

After encountering a lot of soft nails, the giants also guarded against Liverpool's poaching. Only Southampton was open to Liverpool's buyers.

The team performed well in youth training and achieved great results. The Southampton boss chose to cash out very wisely.

On the one hand, the players want to leave and the club can’t keep them. On the other hand, even if they force to stay, the club is there and there is no hope of winning.

However, Liverpool completely regards Southampton as its youth academy.

A gesture of not bad money, buy, buy, buy. Attacking midfielder Lallana for 31 million euros, central defender Lovren 25 million euros, forward veteran Ricky Lambert 5.5 million euros.

Liverpool directly bald the fat sheep of Southampton and became the biggest buyer of Southampton in the summer.

If it weren't for Manchester United's early contact with Luke Shaw, early signing, and Liverpool, who also needs full-back reinforcements, would really rush to spend 100 million transfer fees on Southampton.

It's a pity that Luke Shaw, who performed extremely well last season, wants to play for Old Trafford.

After hiring three players from Southampton, even if the Premier League team has personnel for sale, it does not matter to Liverpool.

With the first shot, Liverpool, which has just won the championship, has been boycotted by many teams. Liverpool does not want to buy people at a premium, so it can only shoot two.

With no suitable players in England, Rogers still had to go to the international market to find reinforcement targets.

The first thing to solve is the problem of full-backs. Even though the combination of Glen Johnson and Flanagan performed well in the second half of last season, Liverpool still has to reserve enough personnel in this position to deal with possible injuries. Illness.

However, the position of full-back was originally a scarce item in international football. If the price is raised too high, it will definitely suffer a loss, and the high price will not be given. The general team is not willing to release people.

In the end, Liverpool spent 18 million euros to buy left-back Moreno from La Liga "black shop" Sevilla to enhance the team's own side attack and defense.

Although Moreno's height is a major hidden danger for Liverpool's air defense, his speed and excellent offensive ability will be a huge supplement to Liverpool.

After solving the problems of the lack of center back personnel after Carragher and Agger left the team, and the insufficient reserve of full back personnel, Rogers can concentrate all his energy on the construction of the team lineup in the midfield.

How important Suarez is to this Liverpool team, Rogers knows best as the head coach.

What Liverpool let go is not only an efficient forward who can contribute 30+ goals in a season, but also a vital offensive link in the team's frontcourt.

In today's era when all major giants are preparing for war and superstar transfers are not easy, it is simply unrealistic to buy top forwards directly to replace Suarez. Rogers can only try to find players similar to Suarez.

At first glance, Rogers hit Balotelli.

Become famous when young, ""

The highlight moments in the European Cup made the Italian striker familiar to the world.

However, unlike the super talent in football, the low EQ performance in the world and the chaotic off-field life are gradually ruining this new era forward who is optimistic by countless people.

From Manchester City to AC Milan, Balotelli has not made great progress, and is even worse than his performance when he debuted at Manchester City.

After thinking about it, Rogers gave a 20 million euro offer to take over the hot potato in the hands of AC Milan~lightnovelpub.net~ He hopes to transform Balotelli into an outstanding striker comparable to Suarez and make up for Suarez’s departure. Liverpool’s offensive line lacks firepower.

Of course, Rogers has enough funds, it is impossible to put all the treasures on Balotelli alone.

With sufficient funds, Rogers continued to cultivate his own plan to attack the little monster.

Coutinho's success allowed Rogers to choose to train another player of the same type. Benfica's new star Markovic, who was able to win, became Rogers's signing target.

For 25 million euros, Liverpool spent a lot of money on this young player who is less than 20 years old to allow him to come to Anfield.

In addition to the enhancement of the attack line, Rogers spent 12.5 million euros from Leverkusen to purchase Emrejan, who has already shown his prowess in the Bundesliga, for the team with only one defensive midfielder.

In the end, because 150 million euros of signings were still surplus, Rogers bought his young striker Origi from Lille, based on the principle of saving money.

Originally Origi was also a player Rogers wanted to buy in the early days, but although Lille intends to sell, he still wants to rent for at least a year to save money on repurchasing strikers.

When the negotiations were put on hold, they finally accepted Lille's negotiation requirements due to Liverpool's remaining funds.

Liverpool bought it and then leased it to Lille for a year, and Origi will not be able to report to Liverpool until the summer of 15 years.

After that, it was Liverpool's patchwork of the lineup.

The substitute goalkeeper position and the filling positions of other big lists are almost free of visas to get players, except for Suarez and the departure of Ager, Liverpool's main lineup last season was retained.

The new battleship of Liverpool in the new season, set sail...
