269. Benitez's dilemma

Xavi 61 Alonso transferred to Real Madrid for a transfer fee of 35 million euros.

As soon as this news came out, it shocked the entire European football world, and no one expected that Liverpool would let go of the core of the team's midfield and send it to Real Madrid, which is ambitious this year, which is jaw-dropping.

In everyone's opinion, Liverpool failed to defend the UEFA Champions League title last season, which can be called a less successful season, and in this summer, Liverpool should be aggressively recruiting to strengthen the team, so as to impact the UEFA Champions League title in the new season.

The Liverpool team has not yet brought in reinforcements, which has sent away the core of the team's midfield, what is the Liverpool team going to do this time?

This naturally caused the dissatisfaction of the Liverpool fans, they were very dissatisfied, on the team's official website and forums, the Liverpool fans were crazy to express their dissatisfaction, they need the Liverpool team to give an explanation.

This really gave Benitez a headache, he didn't want to send Xavi 61 Alonso away, but unfortunately Xavi 61 Alonso wanted to leave by himself, he couldn't keep it. The twisted melon is not sweet, send him away, Liverpool can still earn a part of the transfer fee.

It is rumored that Xavi 61 Alonso's transfer fee to Real Madrid is 35 million, but in fact, it is more than that, Xavi 61 Alonso's transfer fee reached 40 million euros. However, Real Madrid paid Liverpool 35 million first, and the other 5 million paid Liverpool half a year later.

40 million, that's a lot of money. Qiu Ze also nodded slightly after learning this, this is indeed earned. In Qiu Ze's memory, the transfer fee of Xavi 61 Alonso when he transferred to Real Madrid this summer was 30 million euros, and now it has increased by 10 million euros, which is indeed a big profit.

However, the money is earned, but where is the Liverpool team now looking for Xavi 61 Alonso's successor? In this position, there are very few players with the passing skills of Xavi 61 Alonso, and it is difficult to find a replacement for Xavi 61 Alonso.

At this time, Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez told Qiu Ze that he had his eye on Croatian midfielder Luka Modric for Tottenham Hotspur.

Luka 61 Luka Modric only moved to Tottenham Hotspur last year, and last season Modric made 34 appearances for Tottenham Hotspur in the league, scoring three goals and providing seven assists, and in four European games for Tottenham, scoring one goal and providing one assist.

Moreover, Luka 61 Modric's contribution is not only in the statistics of goals and assists, but he has also put Tottenham Hotspur's midfield in order and revitalized Tottenham Hotspur's attack. If it weren't for the inaction of Tottenham Hotspur manager Juan de 61 Ramos at the beginning of the season, Luka 61 Modric would have performed even better.

In Benitez's view, Luka 61 Modric is a typical number 10 like Qiu Ze. However, Qiu Ze is much stronger than Luka 61 Modric, and he is very aggressive, and the closer Qiu Ze is to the goal, the greater the threat.

Luka 61 Modric's aggression is not as strong as Qiu Ze's, his threat is a little farther away from the goal, the greater the threat, this guy's direct long-range shot is very threatening, it can be said that it is his signature move, signature attack.

There is also Modric's long passing skills, which is more suitable for the position behind the midfield, so that he can form a front and back attack combination with Qiu Ze, and Luka 61 Modric can just fill the gap after Xavi 61 Alonso leaves.

Qiu Ze also knows Luka 61 Modric very well, this Croatian is indeed very powerful, and he has a very sharp long-range shooting ability, in China, this guy is called the "magic flute" by fans, and his strength should not be underestimated.

If Qiu Ze thinks about it carefully, if this guy really joins the Liverpool team, this is definitely good news for the Liverpool team, so that Xavi 61 Alonso's departure can be reduced to a minimum.

However, at this time, can Tottenham Hotspur be willing to sell Modric? It is said that the old man of Manchester United also covets Modric, but Tottenham Hotspur just doesn't want to sell it, and Liverpool wants to bring in Modric, which is very difficult.

Luka Modric joined Tottenham Hotspur last summer for £18.5 million. Now Benitez directly offered 22 million pounds directly to Tottenham Hotspur, which is 3.5 million more than when Tottenham Hotspur introduced Modric.

However, Tottenham Hotspur rejected Benitez's offer outright, and in their words, Modric is the future of Tottenham Hotspur and they will not sell it. Just like Qiu Ze of your Liverpool team, that is a treasure at the bottom of the box, how can it be sold?

Benitez was disappointed when he learned of this answer, and now he has in his mind that the next two and a half men who can replace Xavi 61 Alonso are Modric, Cesc Fabregas of Arsenal and half of Everton's Mikel Arteta.

Among them, Modric has no hope, and Tottenham Hotspur has no intention of selling people at all. And Arsenal's Fabregas is even more daring to hope, Wenger has already spoken, if you want to get Fabregas, please use Qiu Ze in exchange.

How is that possible in exchange for Qiu Ze? Arsene Wenger certainly knows this, and he just says this to mean that it is impossible to buy Cesc Fabregas.

Cesc Fabregas and Luka Modric are Benitez's favourites, but unfortunately it is impossible to bring them in.

Now there is only half of this Zuihou left, and the reason why Arteta is half of the favorite is mainly because this guy is not yet as good as Xavi 61 Alonso. He's a capable midfielder, but he's not at the top of the game.

Mikel 61 Arteta is a well-known 'prodigal son' in Spain and, unlike most Spanish players who are accustomed to playing at home, has spent most of his career overseas.

Arteta is an outstanding representative of Barcelona's academy. He was spotted by FC Barcelona at the age of 15 and started his career in 1999 with FC Barcelona. But he never played for the Barcelona first team.

He then went on to play for Paris Saint-Germain in France, Glasgow Rangers in Scotland, Real Sociedad in Spain and Everton in England, where he grew into the heart of Everton.

Mikel Arteta joined Everton in January 2005 but the man won over the Toffees fans in just four months, and Everton finished fourth in the league under his leadership and qualified for the Champions League. This is the first time since the inception of the Premier League that Everton have surpassed local rivals Liverpool.

Arteta won the Everton team's best player in the next two seasons, and in the 06-07 season, Arteta beat Cristiano 61 Ronaldo to become the best midfielder in the Premier League, and last season, Arteta approved the team's number 10 shirt and became an indispensable soul of the team's midfield.

Originally, Arteta was in the Everton team, which was the sworn enemy of the Liverpool team, the sworn enemy of the same city, and it was impossible for the two teams to have a transfer exchange on the player, but now it is the critical moment for Arteta and Everton to renew the contract, at this time, the Liverpool team still has a good chance to win Arteta.

Without Luka Modric and Cesc Fabregas, Benitez has set his sights on Mikel Arteta, who he hopes will join Liverpool to fill the void left by Xavi's 61 Alonso's departure.

However, Arteta is still hesitating, this is England, and if he turns his head to the team's sworn enemies like this, he will be in very big trouble. So, at this time, Arteta is hesitating.

Arteta's agent certainly wants Arteta to go to Liverpool, so Arteta's salary and popularity will rise in everything, so it's a good opportunity. Moreover, at the competitive level, Arteta will also have higher pursuits and more honors, and perhaps he can enter the ranks of first-list stars from now on.

Arteta's agent has been blowing in Arteta's ears for a long time, and he wants Arteta to move to Liverpool. However, Arteta finally thought about it and decided to renew his contract with Everton.

After all, his success comes from the Everton team, and he has a lot of affection for the Everton team. Also, now he is the core of the Everton team, if he moves to Liverpool, he will definitely not be the core, he will become the green leaf of the other side, he is a little unwilling.

So, after much consideration, Arteta rejected Benitez and chose to stay with Everton. He is now under the hesitation of manager David Moyes and he will not leave Everton at this time.

Well, now the Liverpool team doesn't even have this half of the candidates, and Benitez is really sad. Who would have thought that a club as Liverpool would be so strong that a team capable of winning the UEFA Champions League could not find good players?

Benitez is in a hurry now, and he knew he wouldn't have let Xavi 61 Alonso go. Even if you want to let Xavi 61 go, Alonso will have to find a suitable replacement before letting him go. At this time, Benitez really regretted it.

In the evening, Benitez called Qiu Ze, and he complained to Qiu Ze. In fact, this is telling Qiu Ze in disguise that it is not that their Liverpool team is inactive, but that they have made a move and no player wants to come.

Hearing such an answer, Qiu Ze was also surprised, no one in a team like Liverpool would want to come, which was really beyond his expectations, really. In Qiu Ze's view, no matter how you say that the Liverpool team is a European-style giant, and it has also entered the hottest giants in European football, and the most haode giants with the most achievements, which can definitely attract many players.
