Chapter 10: The first shot of a transfer this summer (the second one asks for a monthly pass)

Chen Yingxiong called Balotelli and said something like this.

Balotelli said that a trivial matter should be on his body.

The two talked nonsense about women again, and then hung up the phone.

Chen Yingxiong was waiting for Balotelli's response.

After waiting for two days, Balotelli called back and told him that he had already told Thornton. Thornton said he was very interested in Liverpool's invitation, and Liverpool could talk to him directly.

After Chen Yingxiong thanked Balotelli, he responded to Niang instead.

Niang was very happy to receive Chen Yingxiong's answer. He asked Chen Yingxiong for the contact information given by Balotelli, and then called Thornton.

Later, Niang realized that he didn't need to be so troublesome at all, so he went to Thornton round and round.

I just need to go to Thornton directly as the manager of the Liverpool club. Thornton is very interested in joining Liverpool. What he is worried about is whether he wants to go to Liverpool or not, but it is not a question of whether he wants to go to Liverpool.

Of course he really wants to go. Now in English football, how many players don't want to go to Liverpool?

This Liverpool team is full of vigor, with Chen Yingxiong, Bell, Sanchez, Suarez and other good players in their years. If the team's policy is stable, their glory is completely predictable.

Going to this team is obviously more promising.

However, at this time Niang still did not think that his team had become a sweet potato in the eyes of these players.

He also imagined them according to traditional thinking.

Anyway, Niang ran to contact Thornton. Thornton had no nonsense and said that he was very willing to transfer to Liverpool, as long as Liverpool could get the Newcastle United club.

In Thornton's view, the Newcastle United club may not be willing to release people. But in Niang's eyes, the problem is very simple. It is much easier to get the club than to get the players. As long as the players have the intention to join, there is no obstacle.

The two parties negotiated a specific personal agreement, initialed the contract, and only waited for Thornton's transfer to come into effect.

Then the Liverpool club formally applied to Newcastle United for Thornton's transfer.

Newcastle United naturally have to be hypocritical, saying that Thornton is their assistant full-back, and it is impossible to sell it to a competitor...

To put it bluntly, it means to raise prices.

Niang is also slowly grinding with Newcastle United. He knows that Newcastle United will not refuse to sell Thornton. Although Thornton is the main force in Newcastle United, there are some injuries. If Thornton can sell for a good price, Newcastle The United team will not hesitate. Thornton was not cultivated by Newcastle United’s youth academy, nor is it a peerless genius born in 50 years. Every professional football club understands that no player can be retained, so it is better to take advantage of it. It's true that you can sell him for money when you can afford it.

The two sides bargained, and finally reached an agreement at the price of five million pounds.

Niang discovered that Liverpool really had a tradition of digging full-backs from Newcastle United-now the team’s main left-back Jose Enrique was also transferred from Newcastle United, which cost Liverpool 6 million euros. .

Now another full-back has been dug from Newcastle United. If you continue to dig like this, maybe Newcastle United will become Liverpool's reserve team...

David Thornton became the first shot Liverpool fired in the transfer market this summer.

When last season ended, many teams couldn't wait to announce their signings, or signings in the plan. Only Liverpool has been standing still and has not disclosed in the media who they are interested in and who they have bought.

Many people thought Liverpool were very satisfied with their lineup and did not plan to adjust it.

However, Thornton's joining could not cause any sensation. What is the attraction of a player worth only 5 million pounds? Thornton used to be a genius long ago, but now after so many years of experience, he has already washed away his "genius" halo and became an ordinary player. His transfers happen every summer in the entire professional football arena, and they simply cannot attract people's attention.

Only Liverpool fans welcomed Thornton's arrival. They also know very well that this is a substitute for Enrique. Enrique performed well last season, but the absence of a substitute is always worrying-what if he gets injured?

It's all right now, with Thornton.

As for whether Thornton can adapt to Liverpool after he comes, that is Martin O'Neal's business, and it has nothing to do with them.

※※※

Thornton was the last to start the transfer offensive, but he became the first to come.

This shows that the transfer of Thornton is very difficult, and the transfer of Pepe and Goetze has been planned.

After dealing with Thornton's transfer, Niang turned around to deal with the transfer of Goetze and Pepe. Mainly Gotze.

Whether playing against Mendes in Brazil, or returning to Liverpool to buy Thornton, Niang has been paying close attention to the latest transfer rumors about Goetze.

Although Dortmund rejected transfer applications from a number of teams including Liverpool, the teams interested in Gotze have not decreased at all, and there is even an increasing trend.

The German media is full of news that Gotze might want to transfer to Barcelona, ​​might want to transfer to Chelsea, might want to transfer to Inter Milan, might want to transfer to Arsenal, might want to transfer to Juventus...and so on.

And some media said that Gotze seemed to be tempted to leave Germany to play.

When he was in Brazil, he was asked about playing abroad when he was interviewed by reporters. He did not express any objection: "Who knows the future? I am not responsible for predicting the future, but I am willing to accept new ideas. Challenge."

Gotze has not left Dortmund since the junior team. He has played for this team for many years and helped Dortmund get almost all the championships he can get. There are three Bundesliga champions and two in the German Cup.

But his honor is limited to this.

Out of Germany, he never won a championship, even though he was favored every time. However, the repeated encounters in the Champions League made him realize that no matter how strong Dortmund is, he can only play in the Bundesliga. This is not a problem for Dortmund, it is a problem for the entire Bundesliga. The competitiveness of the Bundesliga is slightly worse than that of the Premier League and La Liga.

If he wants to pursue higher honors, he should transfer and leave to go to those teams that can help him realize his dreams.

※※※

Niang saw the reports on Gotze in the media and knew that Gotze moved Fanxin and wanted to leave the team. The time is ripe.

When Dortmund realizes that it is impossible for them to keep Gotze, they will be willing to negotiate with other teams, and that is Liverpool's opportunity.

Liverpool has Shaheen, which is a weapon other teams do not have. In the past few years, Gotze has become an important player in the midfield organization of Dortmund. Although his assault is still sharp, his passing has gradually been cultivated. In Dortmund, he has grown into a passing belt. The all-around midfielder.

Therefore, in the Dortmund formation in the past few years, he has always served as the core midfielder, partnering with Shinji Kagawa, which disturbed the opponent's defense.

If Gotze is gone, Dortmund will lose a core midfielder, how to make up for it?

Liverpool sent Shaheen.

Shaheen was originally the core of Dortmund's midfielder, responsible for organizing the offense and controlling the rhythm. Perhaps the roles and characteristics are different, but they all play the same role.

If Gotze can't be retained, will the recall of Shaheen be a way to ensure the stability of the lineup and tactics?

Niang felt it necessary to remind Dortmund of the existence of Liverpool, and he once again made an offer to Dortmund. The price remains unchanged, 30 million euros plus one Shaheen.

Niang is not worried that Shaheen will not leave. In Liverpool, his performance last season was mediocre, not many games played, but many injuries. Shaheen himself knew that he didn't have much chance in Liverpool, so returning to Dortmund, which he was in urgent need of him, might be a chance to prove himself again.

※※※

A facsimile of facsimiles showing his love to Gridze, Zorke was annoying, and he rejected those clubs more than once, but he did not expect that they would take the trouble to ask for prices and make offers.

This makes Zorke very upset.

But what made him more disturbed was the remarks Gotze said in an interview with a German reporter two days ago.

He said he was willing to accept new challenges.

What does it mean?

Doesn't this mean that he has the intention of leaving Dortmund?

If Gotze himself had this intention, it would be tricky. Zork, who has been a Dortmund sports manager for 16 years, knows very well that if the player wants to leave, then almost no club can successfully stop him.

The meaning of this sentence is not trivial, and it caused some commotion among Dortmund fans.

He decided to ask to understand.

Gotze is preparing for the World Cup and he can't contact him directly, but it doesn't matter, he can contact Gotze's agent Strutz.

"Michelle, what are you nervous about?"

Because he was already familiar with Zolk, Gotze's agent Strutz directly called Zolk by his name in a relaxed tone.

Zolk was relieved when he heard his tone-it seemed that Gotze would not leave Dortmund yet.

Unexpectedly, the next second sentence caused him to be splashed with cold water. "I remember that we reached a consensus a long time ago that Mario is going to go out anyway... Last time we said that he would transfer to a foreign country when his contract expired. At that time, the contract expired this year. …It’s just that we renewed our contract later, but that didn’t change Gotze’s own thinking, Michel. Gotze really wanted to play abroad, don’t you know?"

Zorke hadn't listened to what he said after Trutz.

Because he knew that Gotze did have this plan at the time. At that time, there were many rumors about Gotze's transfer to Bayern Munich. At this time, Gotze stepped forward through his broker Strutz to refute the rumors and said that he would not go to Bayern. Munich plays, but he hopes to go abroad after the contract expires. At that time, his contract with the club expired in 2014.

Unexpectedly, when Shaheen left the team, Gotze’s status suddenly became important. Dortmund did not want Gotze to leave, or that he did not want him to leave so early. The two sides negotiated for a long time and finally renewed the contract, changing the contract period from It was extended from 2014 to 2016.

Zorke thought that as time passed, Gotze and his agent would dispel the idea of ​​going abroad to play football. But three years later, Gotze's wish has not changed.

Outsiders think that Gotze is unwilling to transfer to Dortmund because he hasn't grown up, just like he has been living in his mother's house and eating his mother's cooking. But Zorke knew that Gotze had left Dortmund from a very early age to go abroad.

He didn't want to go out at the time, not because he hadn't grown up yet, and he couldn't bear to have anything to do with his mother... It was just that he felt that he should have more experience in the country. And now he feels that his level has reached the highest level to be able to play in Germany, which is a bottleneck. If he can't make it through, he will be like many geniuses in China, such as Royce, such as Tony Close, and that's it, and there will be no progress. Any team in Germany, even Bayern Munich can play the main force. But Gezezhi is not here. He wants to become one of the few figures in the history of German football, which must go out and go to higher-level leagues and teams to accept experience and new challenges.

Gotze is far more mature than his appearance and age....

The next discussion is no longer necessary. Zolk leaned back in his chair, knowing that Gotze’s departure was unstoppable...
