"There is a saying among us Jews that if the world is very beautiful, nine points will be in Jerusalem!"

At dusk, Yang Cheng and Nata Lì finally climbed the Mount of Olives in the east of Jerusalem, and looked west, near the old city of Jerusalem, where they could see the ancient city wall, and on the farther side of the wall, the modern city of Jerusalem.

"If there is a great sorrow in the world, nine points are also in Jerusalem!"

Nata Lì said this, her head was resting on Yang Cheng's shoulder, with an indescribable attachment, "Do you know why you say that?" ”

Yang Cheng shook his head, he didn't have much feeling about this so-called holy city, in his opinion, it was probably just a city with a bit of history, and he didn't have as many emotions as Nata.

"Many people say that this is a city of sorrow, with strife and war, which has never subsided, so when I was very young, I wished that one day I would be able to come to Jerusalem and follow the cobblestone path, from the flogging hall to the tomb of Jesus, and relive the path of Jesus' crucifixion."

When he said this, Yang Cheng obviously felt a very sacred feeling from this girl's face.

At this moment, Nata's image in his mind has risen a lot, she no longer looks like the helpless little girl she used to be, and now he is a college graduate who knows how to think and knows many, many things.

"Tomorrow, come with me, okay?" Nata lì asked for a request.

Yang Cheng didn't think too much about it, nodded and agreed.

They can only stay in Jerusalem for 3 days, so Yang Cheng will try his best to meet Nata's request, who made him promise Nata's parents, will take a good look at this girl?

Seeing that Yang Cheng agreed, Nata lì took Yang Cheng's hand and overlooked the entire Jerusalem on the Mount of Olives.

She once had a wish to be able to walk this hard road with her beloved man, arm in arm.

She knew that if Yang Cheng learned of her wish, Uncle Cheng would definitely refuse, and even he would not hesitate to distance himself from her, so she deliberately hid it from everyone, including her parents.

Turning his head, he happened to see Yang Cheng's side face at dusk, which was extremely familiar.

Countless times when she thought about it, she couldn't help but recall the way they looked when they met in Leipzig, they were very small at that time, she thought that no one would care about her, especially when Yang Cheng left for so long and didn't come back, she thought she had met a fake kind guy.

Therefore, when Yang Cheng bought a ticket and came back and stuffed her with a warm sweater, her heart was really moved.

He is a good man, the best and best good man in the world!

This impression was like a virus, which quickly spread into her mind, swallowing up all other thoughts, even if she could see a lot of scandals about Yang Cheng from newspapers and magazines, about him hooking up with such and such a woman, she would take the initiative to make excuses for Yang Cheng.

Is it silly?

Maybe, but isn't it so stupid for a woman to fall in love with a man?

If I could, I would like to rely on him like this for the rest of my life, silently follow him behind, and accompany him silently, just to be able to call him affectionately, Uncle Cheng!

Liverpool is small, really small relative to a city.

Yang Cheng rented a three-storey villa in Prescott on the outskirts of the city, with the necessary swimming pool, sauna, cinema, five bedrooms and a spacious master bedroom facing the villa's vast garden.

It is surrounded by greenery and shade, which makes the villa very airy.

The only place that is more uncomfortable is probably the climate in the UK, where it is always difficult to see the sun and it rains a lot.

When Yang Cheng returned to Liverpool with Nata, Sienna was like a hostess, helping Yang Cheng decorate the villa.

Although Nata Lì and Sienna are very familiar, and she admires Sienna's taste and ability, it is still difficult to get close to her in her heart, because she always feels that there is something between Sienna and Yang Cheng.

Although it turned out that the two slept in separate rooms and did not have any too affectionate movements, the woman's terrible intuition told her that Sienna's eyes looking at Yang Cheng were not simple. ,

Otherwise, why didn't she have this intuition when she looked at the part-time worker?

If Yang Cheng learned of Nata's idea, he would probably cry in tears, he was not so hungry that he even swallowed the part-time worker aunt in his stomach.

Back in Liverpool, Yang Cheng picked up the car and went out.

It's a 15-minute drive from Prescott to Anfield, less than 8 kilometres, so Liverpool is small.

When Yang Cheng arrived at Anfield Stadium, the security guard immediately opened the door and let Yang Cheng drive his Ferrari directly in.

Walking into the office, a staff member immediately greeted him and took Yang Cheng to a smaller conference room.

"Mr. Yang Cheng, you're here!"

As soon as he walked into the conference room, Rick Parry stood up and greeted him, and saw three players in civilian clothes sitting in the conference room, who were instantly recognized: the team's captain Hyypia, and the local core Gerrard and Carragher.

"I'll introduce you!" Rick Parry pointed to the three of them to make introductions.

Yang Cheng shook his head, "No need, Rick, this is Sammy, Steven, and Jamie!" ”

All three players reached out to shake Yang Cheng's hand, "Welcome to Anfield, Caesar!" ”

"You talk, I have some things, go out first, what do you need to call me!" Rick Parry smiled and walked out.

Yang Cheng found a place to sit down, and the three players also sat down.

"This should be the first time we've met!" Yang Cheng put his hands on the table and looked casual, "First of all, I have to clarify that in the current transfers we are currently making, except for the goalkeeper Reina, who is ready to bring in them on loan at Villarreal, from Barcelona, and my interest in Spanish midfielder Xavi Alonso, everything else is fake!" ”

Yang Cheng was very open and honest, he never felt that the manager needed to hide anything from the players, and besides, there was no conflict between these players and those present.

"Steven, as I said to reporters, you are not for sale in the team, I hope you can stay and make a statement to the outside world, publicly say that you will stay in the team, is it okay?" Yang Cheng used a consultative tone.

Gerald thought for a moment and nodded, "No problem, I never thought about leaving Anfield, never." ”

"Well, I can guarantee that it is definitely a wise choice to stay!" Yang Cheng smiled and nodded.

Turning around, he saw Hyypia, and the Finnish central defender kept laughing after seeing Yang Cheng, because Yang Cheng almost introduced Hyypia as early as Kaiserslautern, but in the end he failed to succeed, but it can also be seen from this point that Hyypia is very much in line with Yang Cheng's requirements for central defenders.

"Sammy, I want you to be the captain of the team!"

Yang Cheng's words made Hyypia nod continuously.

"In the new season, we will have some new teammates to add the 'Set Sail without Watermark' alliance, I hope that you and the two vice-captains can help these new teammates integrate into the team, Ian Rush will help you in this regard, if you have any questions, you can come to me directly, but I don't want any conflicts and disputes in my dressing room, can you do it?"

Hyypia obviously sensed the meaning of Yang Cheng's words, that is, there was infighting in the Liverpool dressing room last season, Murphy and many other players bombarded, and even almost attacked Houllier, which caused a lot of movement in the Premier League.

This may have something to do with Houllier's coaching, but Yang Cheng doesn't want such a mess in his locker room.

Without a united locker room, how can a powerful fighting force be condensed?

"Yes!" Hyypia nodded, he was a nice guy to work with.

Gerrard and Carragher also nodded successively, they are both youth training in the "Set Sail without Watermark" department, and were promoted to vice captain by Yang Cheng, so naturally they should also fulfill their duties as vice captain and take responsibility.

"One thing I have to say about Jamie is that the arrival of Finnan and Glenn Johnson is not going to shake your place in the team, and I have studied your game footage very carefully and I plan to try to play you at centre-back in the new season."

"Central defender?" Carragher was a little surprised. ,

"Yes, partner with him!" Yang Cheng pointed at Hypia and said with a smile.

Hyypia was still smiling, looking at Carragher and smiling.

"I'm sure you and Sammy will be a great combination, but of course, it's just an attempt!" Yang Cheng explained.

Of course, he couldn't have told Carragher straight that he would be at the top of his game at centre-back, who would believe it?

In fact, Yang Cheng only knows the combination between Hyypia and Carragher, but how the two central defenders work together and how they assign tasks still needs to be observed in training and games.

Under normal circumstances, the double central defenders are generally one in front and one behind, one up and one in the defense, but how to cooperate, the details vary from person to person, these are not judged by video and experience, even if Yang Cheng is a traverser, there will be no help.

I have to say that the name of the person, the shadow of the tree, where is Yang Cheng's name, the players he has carved have all become talents, Carragher will not have too many doubts about Yang Cheng now, and he has repeatedly said that he is willing to cooperate with the head coach's idea to try to partner with Hyypia.

As for Hyypia and Gerrard, the two don't need to worry about their place in the team at all, especially Gerrard.

The Liverpool local star's ability to plug in after the ball and shoot from a distance after inserting is very good, which will be an important part of Yang Cheng's tactics, coupled with Davies's large-area interception coverage and midfield combing, as well as the deep advancement of the ball on the left and right wings, Liverpool's midfield will definitely not be bad as long as it can be run-in.

The only flaw is Xavi Alonso.

The reason why Yang Cheng wants to get the Spaniard, in addition to his combing midfield, good ball ability, and excellent positional sense, is that he has the ability to dispatch and transfer the ball in a wide range.

Medium and long pass transfer and scheduling, such players are really rare, Manchester United went to Real Madrid's Beckham, Chelsea's high-priced introduction of Veron, Inter Milan's Pirlo, the others are basically gone, Barcelona's Xavi is not particularly outstanding in this area at present, and the rest is Real Sociedad's Xavi Alonso, who is excellent in long, medium and short passes, as well as control and grasp of the rhythm.

Of course, without Xavi Alonso, Yang Cheng has already prepared another set of plays, but it still needs to be studied in training.

…………

…………

Meeting with the three players, Yang Cheng made good use of his fame and status in the football world, talked to them about the upcoming new season, and also got their commitments, and Gerrard even promised to hold a press conference the next day to announce that he would stay in the team.

In addition to putting forward his own requirements, Yang Cheng also patiently listened to the thoughts of the three players on the team.

Among them, they all mentioned one point, that is, the point that everyone criticized Liverpool the most last season, the single attacking method, which is why Liverpool scored the fewest goals of the previous teams in the Premier League.

For this, Yang Cheng directly responded with laughter, "Is my team scoring fewer goals?" ”

The three players thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but laugh, because Yang Cheng is not known for offensive football?

Gerrard smiled and was satisfied, but Hyypia and Carragher had mixed feelings, because the emphasis on offense meant that the pressure on defense increased, but on second thought, Yang Cheng's team didn't seem to defend badly.

Seeing off the three players, Yang Cheng walked out of the conference room with a smile on his face and walked directly into Rick Parry's office.

"You came at the right time, Mr. Yang Cheng, Reina's transfer is done, 1.5 million euros, he belongs to you!"

When Yang Cheng heard this, he immediately laughed, sat down opposite Rick Parry, and talked about Reina's transfer.

Reina's situation is somewhat similar to Eto'o's, but a little more complicated.

He used to be Barcelona's highly praised goalkeeper, and at that time they even shouted, Real Madrid has Casillas, we have Reina, and the board of directors of the "Set Sail without Watermark" department supported Reina to come to the stage, as if to use Reina to prove the youth training of the "Set Sail without Watermark" department, which is very similar to Real Madrid's Zidane + Pavon policy. ,

Reina's overwhelmed and erratic performances turned the policy into a complete joke, and he was also loaned to Villarreal on a two-year contract, which Villarreal could sign directly for €750,000 after two years.

Reina had an excellent first year at Villarreal, settling into the squad and showing excellent form, but Barcelona already had Valdés, who showed his quality quickly after a tragic performance against Inter Milan.

Therefore, when Reina received a call from Liverpool, coupled with Barcelona's approval, he successfully went to the Premier League and joined Barcelona's sworn enemy Yang Cheng to play.

"I don't need to make any other transfers other than Xavi Alonso!" At least not this season.

Liverpool have a good squad at the moment, with Dudek and Reyna in goal, Reiser and Leighton Barnes at left-back, Hyypia, Carragher, Henkoz and Ager in the middle, and Finnan and Glenn Johnson on the right.

In midfield, Smitchell, Davies, Hamann, Steven Gerrard, Arau Diarra and Essien are on the wings, Robben and Cristiano Ronaldo on the wings, as well as Murphy and Kuyt, two versatile players, and Yang Cheng left speed striker Baros and a monster Drogba in the front.

It is not difficult to see from this whole set of lineup that Yang Cheng will change his previous delicate technical style of play in the new season and begin to run in a set of techniques and tactics that are more suitable for the Premier League.

Follow the local customs, Yang Cheng wants to do well in the Premier League, he has to do this!

Of course, this is only this season, and when he is familiar with this set of tactics and establishes the team's style of play, I believe he will continue to make detailed adjustments to Liverpool, as well as personnel changes.

After careful analysis, Yang Cheng's lineup just spent about 50 million transfer fees, but the entire lineup of Liverpool has been completely refreshed compared with before, and the overall strength has also been greatly improved.

However, in the eyes of the outside world, after the restructuring of Liverpool in the new season, they let go of Diouf, Heskey, Biscayne and other Premier League stars, but introduced some rookies and veterans, which made them a little pessimistic about Liverpool's prospects for the new season, especially when competitors have brought in a lot of reinforcements.

…………

…………

Arsenal is very poor, so Wenger's reinforcements this season are all aimed at good quality and low price, such as Dortmund's goalkeeper Lehmann, 3.5 million euros, Swiss central defender Sendros 2.5 million euros, Arsenal spent 6 million euros on reinforcements, but Wenger's fame for luring Xiao Zhengtai also began this season, seducing Clich, Fabregas and other 5 Xiao Zhengtai into the Gunners' academy.

According to Yang Cheng's experience, among these young players, Cesc Fabregas has reached the height, Klich is considered to have played, and the others have been wiped out.

Manchester United's recruitment is not small, Ferguson brought in Brazilian defender Kleberson for 9 million euros, it is obvious that he wants to strengthen the team's midfield, and he is still preparing to bring in a right-sided player, there is news that he has his eye on Feyenoord's Van Persie and Monaco's Gyuli, as well as Leeds United's Australian star Colwill, but there is not much progress and news.

As the most uplifting team in the European transfer market this season, Chelsea have brought in more than a dozen players in one go, including Crespo, Ambrosio, Sullivan, Duff and Bridge, all of whom cost Chelsea a total of 150 million euros, almost each of which is worth more than 10 million euros.

But that's not all, Chelsea's ruble storm continues, and they are still working on bringing in Claude Makelele and AC Milan's Andriy Shevchenko, which will cause renewed turmoil in the European transfer market.

If nothing else, let's talk about Duff, a person's transfer has brought Blackburn 17 million pounds, equivalent to a transfer fee of 25 million euros, and Blackburn has exchanged for Amoruso, Emmerton, Reid, Barry Ferguson and other powerful players, which has greatly improved Blackburn's competitiveness this season.

In the Premier League's transfer spending list, Liverpool is only behind Chelsea with 50 million euros, becoming the second largest Premier League team in terms of recruitment spending this summer, but in terms of net expenditure, due to the sale of players such as Owen, Heskey and Diouf, the team recovered 46 million euros, making Liverpool lag behind Manchester United, Arsenal, Birmingham, Manchester City and other teams in net investment.

This also makes the outside world worried about Liverpool's combat effectiveness in the new season, especially the introduction of Yang Cheng.

The Premier League media have generally questioned whether Caesar's vision can still be as sharp as before.

In this atmosphere, Liverpool closed the transfer curtain and began their pre-season training camp...... ）
