Compared with Manchester City, Liverpool is undoubtedly more attractive to Wensheng, Liverpool's new owner Henry is not short of funds after coming to power, and the support for the manager is also strong enough, the key Liverpool team is very easy to manage, as long as you catch Gerrard, Liverpool's dressing room problem will be more than half successful, the team's heritage is enough, it sounds good, although the salary is a little less to Liverpool, but at least there is more face!

Wen Sheng happily called Zahavi and said that Liverpool was a good opportunity.

Zahavi asked Wen Sheng rhetorically, "Are you sure it's okay if you don't lead the team to play in Europe next season?!" ”

Well, Wen Sheng then remembered that Liverpool is ranked eighth, and he won't even qualify for Europe next season!

Tottenham Hotspur is still a European game to play, but Liverpool, a great giant, can only play at home now, and the interest in Wensheng is not so high when I think of this stubble.

However, as soon as Dalglish got out of class, the bookmaker immediately offered the odds, and the possibility of Wen Sheng becoming the owner was far ahead.

The media also regarded Wen Sheng as the first candidate, which is really a strange thing, and the person concerned, Wen Sheng, knew that Liverpool had not made any action.

When Wen Sheng was connected to Guardian reporter James on the phone, he flatly denied that he would go to Liverpool, but this still could not resist the media's speculation about him.

Liverpool's management team is really not covered, and I don't know if they are influenced by public opinion or other factors, but they really make Wen Sheng the first candidate.

They were a little apprehensive, Liverpool's situation in the past two years was not very good, Wensheng signed them from a certain point of view, they were not sure, so the team soul Gerrard played.

At the end of the season, Wensheng began to take a holiday, and this summer due to Cheryl's pregnancy, they did not make travel plans, and at most they could spend some time at home in Bournemouth, and now he is at home in Croydon with his mother-to-be Cheryl.

This peaceful and tranquil life was shattered by a phone call on the 20th.

"Hi Daniel, I'm Steve. Gerrard! ”

Gerrard found Wen Sheng's contact information through Hodgson, although the two knew each other before, Wen Sheng also collected a Gerrard jersey, but the two did not leave a mobile phone number.

"Gerald?! Steve?! Wen Sheng was a little surprised, but he quickly came back to his senses.

For a giant club like Liverpool, superstars have a lot of influence, and sometimes they can directly influence the club's strategy, for example, in the direction of transfers, for example, in the selection of managers.

When a club is interested in a player, they may also use the influence of these superstars to convince the target player, and it is not surprising that a superstar like Steven Gerrard will go out on hand to convince the target player.

But their job is to convince the players, good guys, that all of them have come to me as a manager?!

Wen Sheng couldn't laugh or cry, you said that Gerrard played in person, he really didn't want to say immediately that he didn't plan to go to a team that couldn't play in Europe.

Gerrard is also embarrassed, but the management of Liverpool is not familiar with Wen Sheng and his agent Zahavi, and he happens to be English, Huo Taigong has coached him before, and everyone has a good relationship, and now Huo Taigong is coaching the national team, and he is immediately confirmed to be the captain of the national team, and the relationship between everyone is further, so the contact task is thrown on Gerrard's head.

Can Gerald refuse?! can't refuse, not to mention that he does have some expectations for Wen Sheng, this young marshal is hot after all, it is said that Chelsea has invited him more than once, and the fundamental reason for the popularity is still capable.

Wen Sheng asked a few words about the situation of the England national team, and Gerrard picked up what he could say casually, and finally explained his intentions in a twisted manner.

Gerrard also introduced the team's planning, the owner and management, and vowed to reassure Wensheng.

"Daniel, I've always admired your talent, and I'm not just representing the club, I'm representing myself! I can assure you that I will definitely support you as long as you come to the club! I know the team needs to be reformed now and you are the right person to be, and I can now guarantee that I will absolutely support any decision you make! ”

"In other aspects, such as your salary, the club's investment in transfer funds, the specific content needs to be negotiated with the club's management, but I will help, if you have any requirements, I can respond to the management! Anyway, please believe me, we are definitely here to invite you with sincerity! ”

Wen Sheng patiently listened to Gerrard's words, Gerrard is so sincere, Wen Sheng can only say sorry, compared with Manchester City and Liverpool, Manchester City's platform is more attractive, there is the Champions League to play, and in terms of personnel composition, Manchester City's plasticity is stronger than Liverpool.

Later, after Rodgers took charge of Liverpool, he led Liverpool to almost win the championship, but in Wensheng's view, it was already an extraordinary performance, and the media were lamenting Gerrard's slip, but that slip may not be the main reason why Liverpool failed to win the championship.

"Steve, I have to admit that it's an honour to be appreciated by you and Liverpool! I'm even more proud to have been invited by you! But there is one fact I have to tell you, now I am in talks with Manchester City, and I may go to Manchester City! To be honest, I'm thrilled with your invitation, but you're a little late! ”

Wen Sheng used such an excuse to reject Gerald.

Gerrard chuckled when he heard Manchester City's name, and it was clear that he knew that a team that could play in the Champions League was much more attractive than Liverpool.

Wen Sheng's choice was not surprising, but Gerard still planned to persuade Wen Sheng to think about it.

"Daniel, don't rush to make a decision! Why don't you get in touch with the club?! Maybe you'll change your mind, or not! I know we didn't qualify for the Champions League, but it's also an advantage for the league, the team can focus on the league, you're not too old, even if you don't play in Europe for a season, it's not too much of a problem, right?! ”

Can I say it's wrong?! Wen Sheng was slandered in his heart, but Gerald's statement made him a little moved.

"Well, you can talk to Pini and I'll send his number to your phone!" Wensheng made a decision.

Gerrard was very happy, and it worked well in person.

......

Wensheng had just promised Gerrard that he could talk to Liverpool, and the next day, Manchester City chairman Mubarak made an appointment with Wensheng through Zahavi, and the two sides met quietly in a restaurant in London.

Mubarak was accompanied by Manchester City CEO Phelan Phelan Murphy. Soriano, Director of Operations Brian. Malwood was not accompanied by a lawyer, and there were only two people on Wensheng's side, Zahavi and him, and the lawyer was not with him.

This was not a negotiation, but rather a meeting that Mubarak deliberately arranged to persuade Wen Sheng to become the team's head coach.
