Chapter 027: The Reinforcement Ends

"Liverpool officially announced the official signing of Italian striker Mario. Balotelli, it is understood that Balotelli's transfer fee is around £15 million (about 19 million euros) and he will play for the Reds until at least the summer of 2017. Balotelli will be an important addition to Liverpool's forward line amid Sturridge's injury, with the Italian wearing the number 45 shirt. ”

This is a local pub in Liverpool, and at this time, sports news is playing on the bar's TV.

Speaking to the microphone, Balotelli, dressed in casual attire, said: "Liverpool are one of the best football clubs in England and the style of play is very pleasing to the eye".

And Liverpool manager Jurgen. Jurgen Klopp says Balotelli is a talented player and Liverpool are happy to sign him.

"Why this guy?"

"God, what are we going to do with this guy?" Liverpool fans shouted, "What can he do? Do you set off fireworks? ”

……

Obviously, this sudden announcement of the recruitment came as a surprise to Liverpool fans.

No way, although the Italian international left the Premier League before, he left too many legends in England.

The most famous was the fireworks incident, and three years ago, on Halloween, Balotelli, who was still playing for Manchester City, got so busy lighting fireworks in his bathroom. Unexpectedly, the fireworks were not controlled, and a fire broke out in his mansion, which was worth about 3 million pounds. Balotelli fled in confusion and even forgot to report the fire, but the neighbors noticed that something was wrong and quickly called the police. Although the fire was quickly contained, the Balotelli family's bathroom was completely burned to the ground. According to firefighters at the time, they had to wear breathing equipment while extinguishing the fire, calling it a "fairly large-scale" fire.

Liverpool fans are clearly puzzled that Jurgen Klopp, who is known for his strict management of the army, would choose Balotelli.

They were worried that this trickster would disturb the Liverpool dressing room when he came.

Liverpool fans did not welcome the arrival of Balotelli, and it was at such a high price of £15 million!

Soon, well-informed Liverpool fans got the 'accurate news' from Liverpool general manager Ian Murphy. Al has been pushing for Balotelli to join, and some angry fans are about to riot, and Stanley, one of the four leaders of the four fans in the Liverpool KOP stands, almost ran to the door of Melwood training base with a knife and shouted 'God damn stupid pig' - stupid guy, he actually got a time bomb, which will destroy Liverpool's newfound light.

……

In the afternoon of the same day, the media revealed that Balotelli's weekly salary was £90,000, and there was a weekly bonus of £40,000 (about £2 million a year) that would only be paid when he was "of good character", and if Balotelli was not honest, he would be greatly punished financially.

The bar burst into laughter from fans.

This can be there!

What they are considering, it seems that the club has already considered it, this is a stiffness on this guy's head.

"To be honest, this guy has good strength." Stanley put away his broadsword and said.

"The big guy is right, Balotelli is still good when he is not brainless."

Fans have selectively accepted Balotelli's arrival and are hoping that the Italy international will be disciplined.

Bashen is not only in Italy, but also in the world, and the news of Balotelli joining Liverpool soon spread across five continents and four oceans.

Chinese fans, who pay special attention to Liverpool's news because Jiang Chenxi is at Liverpool, quickly deciphered the reasons why Liverpool chose Balotelli.

Torres joined Liverpool at the age of 23 and a half and left at the age of 27 with a transfer fee of £50 million; Suarez joined Liverpool at the age of 24 and left at the age of 27 with £64.5 million; Balotelli also joined at the age of 24, and according to the equal difference, Liverpool will make 7,900 pounds when they sell him three years later - why Liverpool bought Balotelli, the reason is clear. ”

Of course, these are all fan jokes.

However, when a player joins a team, the fans are not talking about his ability, not how much he can help the team on the pitch, but giving rise to a lot of efficient jokes, which cannot but be said to be sad, of course, maybe Balotelli will not care about that.

……

Balotelli is not the only player to officially announce his move to Liverpool on the 31st.

The England transfer window officially closes at 11pm on 31 August 2018, as Liverpool have been struggling to find a reliable left-back.

Liverpool's first three rounds, although they won three in a row, the team's lineup is not without hidden dangers, especially in the left-back position, Klopp tried a number of wing configurations, Glen Johnson cameo left-back, left-back Jose. Enrique has also had chances, but none of them have satisfied Klopp.

Johnson's cameo at left-back can only be a temporary option.

As for the left-back Jose. Enrique, compared to three years ago when he first joined Liverpool, has declined very much, and cannot meet Klopp's requirements for the time being.

So, while Balotelli's transfer was taking place, Liverpool had been looking for a left-back in the transfer market.

Previously, Liverpool had negotiated a move for Moreno with Sevilla before the start of the World Cup in Brazil, a player handpicked by Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers, and both sides were close to reaching an agreement that Sevilla would allow Moreno to join Liverpool after the UEFA Super Cup.

However, after Klopp took charge of Liverpool, the transfer talks were interrupted.

Jurgen Klopp has decided to take a look at Liverpool's current squad before making a decision. Enrique remains observant and if the Spaniard can meet his demands, then Liverpool won't need to spend a fortune at left-back, as long as they can find a replacement for minimal effort.

……

However, it is clear that Enrique's performance disappointed Klopp, and Liverpool had to start the journey of finding a left-back again, but Liverpool quickly discovered how difficult it is to find a reliable left-back in the transfer market. Liverpool have poured most of the transfer funds on Jiang Chenxi, and it is difficult to spend a lot of money on the left-back position.

Turning around, Liverpool reluctantly found that it finally turned back to Moreno, and the Spanish player has been waiting for Liverpool to 'change his mind'.

Eventually, Liverpool restarted Moreno's transfer talks, which progressed quickly as they had a basis for negotiations.

At 19:45 on August 31, 2014, the official website of Liverpool FC officially announced the official announcement of Sevilla defender Alberto. Moreno's transfer agreement was reached for a fee of £10 million, and Liverpool's Spanish midfielder Luiz Moreno added to the transfer. Alberto moved to Sevilla for 5 million euros, the Spaniard had just joined Liverpool from Sevilla for 8 million euros a season ago, but there were few opportunities to play, and Klopp did not like Alberto and simply returned to Sevilla as a transfer add-on.

Subsequently, Liverpool officially announced that the team brought in 20-year-old Kevin from Tottenham Hotspur on a free transfer a month ago. Stewart has been sent on loan to Cheltenham City for workouts.

At the same time, Liverpool also officially announced that the team's recruitment and transfer of players in the 2014 summer transfer market has officially ended.
