Chapter 291: How is it possible to refuse Liverpool?

The transfer news is playing on TV.

The new season hasn't started yet, and the fans are bored.

Some fans yawned, and at this time, only the news in the transfer market could cheer them up and pay attention.

Southampton boss Ronald Koeman said in an interview that the team will not have another big sale like last summer. The Saints made nearly Β£100 million last summer by selling the likes of Luke Shaw, Lallana, Lovren and Chambers, but even then there was no major decline in the team's performance under Koeman, who ended up missing out on next season's Europa League group stage by just four points, but the team qualified for the Europa League qualifying ......

On TV, Southampton manager Ronald Ronald Brown. Koeman faced the camera and said in an affirmative tone, "Yes, Klein's transfer was just an accident, no one will leave again, I repeat, Southampton is not a blood transfusion machine for some teams, we have our goals and self-esteem. ”

'However, as far as we know, United are close to signing Schneiderlin. A reporter asked.

'I haven't received the news and I haven't seen the transfer document you said, it's a rumor and I repeat, Southampton is not a supermarket of stars!' Ronald. Coman said in an unkind tone.

Well said!

The Southampton fans in front of the TV shouted cheers!

Liverpool fans talk about Southampton being Liverpool's 'second team home', which is proud in the hearts of Liverpool fans, but for Southampton fans, this must be a very hot thing.

Not only Liverpool, but also Manchester United and Arsenal are all eyeing Southampton, which has the Saints fans on the verge of panic.

……

Southampton's super hematopoietic ability has long attracted the attention of the English media, and in the media description, Southampton has a secret black box of theirs.

Southampton's 'Black Box' is housed in the leafy Hampshire village of Malwood, Southampton's Β£40 million Staplewood training centre. The room, which can only be accessed by Southampton insiders, is at the heart of the club's plans for the future.

"It presents us with a wealth of information in a clear, informative and structured way," the Daily Mail said, "The Black Box is a real-time database of data and video highlights from European leagues that clubs are watching. Its raison d'Γͺtre is simple: let Southampton identify the right players to sign. ”

The Daily Mail exclaimed: "This list is always changing and always up-to-date. ”

'Southampton can always know who they can sign in the next transfer window. At any one time, there are about 20 players being tracked at each position, with four or five main target shortlists for each position.

Scouts also take a deep dive into the character of the players – their personalities, training attitudes and even social media habits – to determine whether they can quickly adapt to the environment at Southampton and in the Premier League. ”

In addition, in the eyes of the media, Southampton's scouting system has another role, which is a system that diminishes the importance of the manager, ensuring that the team's performance continues beyond the tenure of any manager.

'The structure of Southampton is not going to be completely changed by any manager. This reflects their focus on making sure the manager adapts to their system, rather than having the club adapt to the manager. ”

This sentence is very awkward, and the "Daily Mirror" finally commented on Ronald in the most straightforward tone. Koeman's words: The club wants to sell people, you really can't stop it!

……

"I would never agree to that!" Ronald. Coman said, patting the table.

He has just been removed from the team's CEO Rice. Reid got the news that Liverpool are interested in Southampton's Senegalese player Sadio. Mane.

This can put Ronald. Coman was choked with anger.

Just poached Southampton's main right-back Klein, and it's only been a few days, and he actually attacked Southampton again!

It's too much of a deception!

Ronald. Koeman is full of resentment towards Liverpool and he does have reason to be angry.

Before the start of the league last season, Liverpool poached the team's main central defender Lovren, which directly hit Ronald. Coman was caught off guard, and in the end Southampton could only urgently loan Aldreveld who could not play at Atletico Madrid from Atletico Madrid, and had to admit that Southampton's scouting team had the vision of the scouting team, no, more precisely, Southampton's scouting team had goods in their pockets, and the Belgian defender on loan from Atletico Madrid had performed very well in Southampton this season.

Now, Ronald. Koeman is urging the team to keep Toby, a centre-back on loan from Atletico Madrid. Aldreveld, the problem now is that Southampton can buy the Belgian centre-back for Β£6.8 million as teased in the loan deal, but there is also a release clause in the fucking clause that Atletico can lift the buyout clause for Β£1.5 million.

Given Aldreveld's stellar performances last season, it is entirely possible that Atletico Madrid will give Southampton Β£1.5 million and then choose to recall Aldreveld and sell the Belgian defender for a big deal.

Far from it.

If it weren't for Aldreveld to save the game, Ronald would have been able to save the game. Koeman's side started the season in a difficult start to the season, but they survived and held fourth place in the table for a long time, and then what?

Then, during the winter break, Liverpool poached Southampton captain Lallana, and after that, Southampton's results began to fluctuate, and in the end, they were unable to retain their fourth place in the league, only finishing seventh in the league.

Leaving aside the issues left over from history for the time being, let's just say that Liverpool has just poached Klein, and now there is a coveting of Mane, which is as deep as the sea.

……

Yes, after bringing in Klein, Liverpool are once again making a move on Southampton.

Liverpool have asked Southampton about the possibility of selling Mane.

In fact, Klopp had previously paid attention to the Senegalese player from Southampton, and when he was in Sterling's transfer trouble, Klopp considered Mane, and he also considered Sane of Schalke 04, and in the end, Sane's relatively low value contributed to Sane's transfer to Liverpool, while Mane's consideration was temporarily shelved.

However, now the scouting team has once again suggested a shot against Mane, which has made Klopp feel moved again.

Sane is still young and will need time to adapt to the Premier League environment, which is more of an investment in the future, and Mane, who is four years older than Sane, has been playing in the Premier League for a season and has been doing well.

Klopp was tempted.

His mentality is different now than it was when he was at Borussia Dortmund, where he wants to lead the team to good results, not develop young players.

If Mane can be brought in, so that there is Mane on the left, Salah on the right, and a Sane to rotate, then how sharp and dashing will Liverpool's two wings be?

Just thinking about it, Klopp was looking forward to it.

Yes, he is very optimistic about Sadio Mane.

Liverpool won the Premier League title last season, got a very generous broadcast share, and has money in their pockets, and the club's top management has also promised to invest in the transfer market.

So far, in addition to spending more than 10 million pounds on Klein's transfer, Liverpool has also spent on the introduction of Karius, and Liverpool really hasn't spent a lot of money on the transfer market.

Since you have two dollars in your pocket, why do you have to do multiple-choice questions? Why can't you hold both in your arms?!

In addition, the club's CEO has also been involved in the transfer talks, and he has made a suggestion that Mane could be brought in in with players and cash.

This proposal was endorsed by Klopp.

And, immediately in Klopp's mind, this player was in mind: Jordan. Abby!

That's exactly what he's going to do next in midfield.

Liverpool signed Jordan, who was only 16 years old at the time, in January 2012. Abby's.

At that time, the English media was very interested in Jordan. Abby had high hopes and hailed him as another Walcott.

In the 2013/2014 season, under Rodgers, Jordan. Abby started to get some playing time.

The ability to play on both wings makes this signing look very reasonable. His talent, energy and ability to pass well can provide ample support for Liverpool's attack.

However, Jordan. Abby has not been able to establish himself in Liverpool's first team and has been out on loan since the 2014 winter break.

Later, Jurgen Klopp took over from Brendan Rodgers in charge of Liverpool, and he studied Liverpool's existing players, including Abby, who unfortunately did not look down on him.

While there are a lot of advantages, if you want to be a better player, to be a player who will please Jurgen Klopp, the English player is still a lot behind. His biggest flaw is his lack of contribution to the defense. Despite being a threat in attack, Jurgen Klopp has studied Abby's games on loan, where we have rarely seen Abby chasing back or supporting his team-mates. This is something that Jurgen Klopp cannot tolerate, as he needs his players to assist the defence in order to minimise the attacking threat of the opposition and be ready to counter-attack quickly after completing interceptions.

In addition to her lack of contribution in defence, Abby's physicality is also at a disadvantage in the Premier League, which is full of strong men. On loan at Derby County last season, Abby was just 25 per cent successful in aerial duels and 41 per cent in tackles throughout the season. Despite his sharp breakthrough on the wing, Abby's ability to fight and his success rate really made Klopp shake his head.

So despite the fact that at the moment Jordan. Abby has returned from a loan spell at Bournemouth (on loan at Derby County in the first half of last season and Bournemouth on loan after work), although some members of the coaching staff believe that Abby is fast, sharp in his breakthroughs, and has good skills at his feet, which can enrich Liverpool's attack, and can be used as a substitute for Salah at worst, Klopp does not look down on Abby, who is not in his plans.

Jurgen Klopp was already thinking about purging the England player, and at this time, Liverpool CEO Peter Brown. Moore offered Southampton a player-and-cash bid for Mane and immediately won Klopp's approval and he decided to add Abby to the deal.

"We can't always poach Southampton, we also want to help our good friends." This is Liverpool CEO Peter Brown. Moore's words, Liverpool want to help Southampton with technology, send Abby, an excellent attacker with an English household book, to Southampton, and take the Senegalese lad.

……

Mane was surprised.

When he learned from his agent Ismane that he was being favored by Liverpool, his eyes widened and his mouth opened wide, and he looked very surprised.

This expression seems to say: Liverpool can take a fancy to me?

Don't be funny, old iron!

Yes, this is Mane, a very simple black lad, he never thinks about things that are too far away, it is not that this man has no ambitions, he only thinks about doing what is in front of him.

Eight years ago, he was a poor boy in rural Senegal, and in order to play football, Mane left his hometown to come to the capital Dakar to receive formal football training, and he could only play football with a pair of sneakers with cracked soles and a pair of unfitted autumn pants, which was already Mane's best equipment.

Mane was selected by the local academy for his outstanding talent, so he successfully landed in Ligue 2 in 2011 and came to the European arena, and Mane signed his first professional contract at the age of 19.

Mane will never forget the first photograph he took when he arrived in France, and he will never forget the tears of joy that brought him to his mother, who was far away in Senegal, received his photo.

At that time, a Chinese journalist met Mane outside the training ground while interviewing a talented Chinese player at the time at Metz and asked the Chinese journalist to help him take a picture.

Unbeknownst to Mane, the Chinese journalist also had a deep impression of the incident and documented it, saying that the young black man "bowed 90 degrees when he saw everyone and asked the reporter to take a picture, which he wanted to send to his mother." When the reporter asked Mane for his email address after the photo, he only gave the club's address, and finally asked if it was free.

It was this honest young man who eventually made a name for himself in Metz with his hard work and talent, and finally joined Austrian champions Red Bull Salzburg, scoring 19 goals in all competitions in his first season, even winning the league and cup double with the team the following year, and then joining Southampton to complete a hat-trick in three minutes.

Sadio Mane was happy with his current situation at Southampton, the fans liked him, earned more than he could have dreamed of before, and he didn't think about leaving.

However, now his agent suddenly told him that Liverpool had taken a fancy to him!

That's Liverpool!

Liverpool, who have just won the Premier League and the FA Cup, and become the new double!

That's Liverpool with a superstar Jiang.

The agent, Ismane, did not speak, and when Mane came to his senses, he asked him, "What do you think?" ”

"Go!" Mane said.

Ismane was stunned, he thought about persuading Mane to transfer, and at this moment, he suddenly held it in his throat, it was uncomfortable.

"Why?" Ismane asked, "Didn't you say you were happy at Southampton?" ”

"Southampton is very good." Mane's eyes widened, "But, that's Liverpool, it's Liverpool with a superstar like Jiang." ”

Then, he looked at his agent and asked, seemingly incomprehensibly, "Why should I refuse?" ”
