Just after 9 a.m., the Melwood training base was bustling with activity.

The players drove to Melwood one after another, and after parking the car, one by one did not rush into the locker room as usual, but wore civilian clothes and talked under the training building.

Outside the gate, a group of reporters were taking pictures of them, and this group of coquettish teenagers immediately posed all kinds of poses at them, and Davis even hid in a corner where no one saw him, secretly took out a mirror from his pocket, combed his head and whip violently, and even used saliva as hair wax, which was really superb.

It took him a few minutes before he felt satisfied and walked out again, only to find that the reporters had already finished taking pictures and were taking a breath, and no one was paying attention to him.

"Fuck!" Davis scolded indignantly.

Do you have to be handsome like Gerald, and a delicate little Zhengtai like Xiao Xiaoluo to have a market?

Is it because they are a little darker and a little shorter that they feel that they can't be reported?

Ya, a group of muddy balls with skin color discrimination and height discrimination!

Seeing Davis's expression, all the players immediately laughed, this guy is so superb, the whole team counts him as the most beautiful, what skin care products he wears all day long, and he also carries a mirror with him, and from time to time he has to take it out to sort out his eyebrows, bangs or something.

", I've been busy for a long time!" The Dutch beast cursed and walked back.

At this moment, Yang Cheng walked down the stairs with the coaching staff, and the group of reporters outside heard someone shouting, Caesar came, and suddenly everyone moved, and one by one they held up their cameras and shot at Yang Cheng inside the gate.

This made Davis feel devastated, how can there be such a big difference between people?

Of course, he didn't dare to question Yang Cheng's popularity, otherwise, fans alone would be enough to drown him with saliva, so he could only complain in his heart, besides, for Yang Cheng, Davis still has a lot of respect.

Joining Liverpool this season, Davies showed his near-peak state, Yang Cheng's use and trust in him, made him happy, coupled with Juventus's empty-handed this season, the outside world generally attributed Juventus's decline to Davies' departure, which greatly satisfied the Dutchman's self-esteem.

Sometimes he really wanted to make a phone call to visit Lippi and Moggie and taunt them.

Look, brother and I are like a fish in water in the Premier League, but the two of you are hard to hit walls everywhere in Serie A, retribution, God is a handsome guy!

Yang Cheng stood still in front of the players, and everyone lined up and stood neatly.

"Have you received your salary?" Yang Cheng smiled at the first sentence.

"Got it!" The players all laughed and replied.

Like all ordinary people, they will always complain about their hard work on weekdays, and only when they receive a salary will they find that their efforts have finally paid off.

This time, Liverpool is not only giving out salaries, but also championship bonuses.

"Very good, congratulations!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.

The players laughed too.

"A hard season is over, and you've all been rewarded, go and enjoy life, and you have the power to squander corruption during this time!"

Yang Cheng's words made everyone present couldn't help laughing, and there were a lot of meanings in it.

"Finally, I would like to thank you all for your hard work and hard work this season, thank you!" Yang said sincerely.

"Thank you, Chief!" The players replied in unison.

"Okay, I won't bother you, it's all gone, let's go back!" Yang Cheng smiled and waved his hand.

After getting Yang Cheng's approval, everyone immediately dispersed.

They all have to buy time for a few days off because many of them are going to Euros this summer.

With Liverpool's excellent performance this season, the number of internationals in the team has also increased.

England's internationals include Glen Johnson, Carragher, Carrick and Gerrard; Reina was also selected for the Spanish national team; Hamann was selected for the German national team; Smitchell and Baros were selected for the Czech national team; Ag enters the Danish national team; Henkoz was selected for the Swiss national team; Kuyt and Robben were selected for the Dutch national team; Ronaldo Jr. entered the Portuguese national team. ,

This brings the number of Liverpool internationals participating in the European Championship to 12, not including Riese, Murphy, Hyypia and other internationals who cannot participate in the European Championship finals, otherwise, Liverpool will have more internationals.

Today's Liverpool is a typical multinational team, but it is not like Chelsea at the beginning, at least Liverpool contributed four players to the England national team, of which Gerrard is the main player, Carragher and Carrick are very competitive, and Glenn Johnson is everyone's favorite successor to Gary Neville.

However, Yang Cheng has never cared much about this kind of thing, he is more concerned about Liverpool's strength.

…………

…………

After seeing off the players, Yang Cheng returned to the second floor with the coaching staff to hold the last coaching staff meeting of the season in the renamed boot room, while the management, including Rick Parry, also rushed from Anfield to Melwood for the meeting to set out Liverpool's plans for this summer's transfer market.

"After the settlement of our finance department and the decision made after the management consultation, our transfer budget for this summer has been tentatively set at around 20 million euros, and the club's proceeds from the sale of players can be used to invest in the transfer market, and we all hope that we can further strengthen the team through the summer operation." Rick Parry, the club's CEO, has a budget for this summer's transfers.

20 million euros is a bit stingy for Liverpool, who has just won the league title, but when Yang Cheng held an executive meeting at Anfield, David Morse mentioned that the club needs to take out some funds to pay off debts, and at the same time invest a sum of 5 million euros in youth training.

Originally, the board of directors wanted to reduce the investment in youth training and ensure the transfer budget for the first-team recruitment, but then Yang Cheng considered the importance of youth training and his preliminary calculation of his transfer, so he decided to ensure the investment in youth training and reduce the transfer budget.

Of course, the first year will cost 5 million euros, mainly because Kirkby Academy is going to carry out a major overhaul, this plan Steve Highey has negotiated with Yang Cheng, and the coaching staff have agreed to his plan, so it involves some hardware construction and introduction, so it is a little higher.

When the hardware is perfected, it is expected that no more than 2 million euros will be invested annually in the future, but Liverpool will have a very scientific and modern academy with it.

That's an inexhaustible mineral treasure!

As for the transfer budget of the first team, 20 million euros, plus Yang Cheng is considering selling three players such as Barosch, Smitchell and Henkoz, and several other players who are not very valued by him are on the list for sale, it depends on who can afford the price.

In this way, Liverpool's transfer budget is not small.

Of course, it can't be compared with Manchester United and Chelsea, the Red Devils are said to have a net transfer budget of 40 million euros this season, which is twice that of Liverpool, and Chelsea is more, and it is estimated that it will be calculated in 100 million.

"Kirkland submitted a written request for a transfer and I agreed, the third goalkeeper hasn't had many opportunities this season and I think he should be let go, and I will send a third goalkeeper from the youth team to the first team when the season starts, but he will play and train with the youth team and be ready to be deployed!"

As Yang Cheng spoke, Paul Bair and the others wrote it down in their notebooks to avoid forgetting, and the same was true for Rick Parry, after all, the administration department he was in charge of was responsible for the specific operation.

"How's Vidic's transfer?" Yang Cheng asked Rick Parry.

The latter nodded, "It's already finalized, he'll be in the summer camp." ”

"Can I apply for a labor certification?" One of the important reasons why Vidic could not come to Liverpool before was that his labor certificate could not be passed, although he was selected for the national team, but he did not have enough appearances, so after Liverpool signed him, they paid close attention to him and continued to keep him in the Red Star Belgrade team to continue to hone.

"That's enough, fully qualified to apply for a labor certification!" Paul Beyer stepped forward and replied that he was responsible for that.

Yang Cheng knows in his heart that with Hyypia, Carragher, Ager and Vidic in the new season, Liverpool's central defender reserves can be described as full of talent, and the left and right wings have Reese, Layton Barnes, Finnan and Glenn Johnson, Yang Cheng is also very relieved, but he wants to promote another one from the youth team. ,

In this regard, Yang Cheng looked at Stephen Warnock, who has been on loan at Coventry City this season and has performed well in League One, the 22-year-old Liverpool academy player is an authentic youth player, joined Kirkby Academy at the age of 11, broke his leg twice, but always performed well, and Liverpool loaned him to Bradford and Coventry City respectively after Liverpool gave him a professional contract.

Last season, Yang Cheng specially examined this player, both offensive and defensive, is a left-footed player, has great potential, mainly plays on the left side of Coventry, but can also take care of the midfield, occasionally played on the right side, is a very good all-rounder, Yang Cheng decided to keep him in the team for the new season.

With nine defenders, a mix of young players and quality players, plus a lot of Premier League competitions and a reserve squad competition, there is simply no chance that these players will not be able to grind their games without a lot of experience.

And Yang Cheng always believes in a principle, that is, the fierce competitive pressure is the driving force to urge players to self-discipline and maintain continuous improvement, if the team's competition is too lax, the players feel that their position is firm, their hearts will also be relaxed, and the competitive state will be affected.

"When will Larsson's transfer be announced?" Rick Parry asked.

Previously, Yang Cheng was worried that the announcement of Larsson's transfer in the final sprint of the season would have an emotional impact on several players within the team, so he decided to hold it down for the time being, and Baroshe's outstanding performance in the last few rounds of the league also confirmed the wisdom of Yang Cheng's approach.

But it is clear that this is no longer necessary.

"You decide, you can do it at any time!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.

"It is estimated that as soon as the transfer is announced, Barcelona fans will scold you to death!" Paul Byer laughed.

Recently, Barcelona and Larsson have been very close, and even many Barcelona media have shouted ironclad that Larsson has worn the Barcelona jersey, but in fact, Larsson has signed a free transfer contract with Liverpool, in order to continue to play under Yang Cheng, all rumors about the outside world have confirmed that they are all wishful thinking of a certain team.

Up front, Drogba's position is unbreakable, Larsson's arrival is more of a reserve and a contender, Kuyt is a versatile player, and Barosh is the biggest influencer, so the Czechs will certainly be affected by Larsson's transfer.

"I'll announce Barosh at the press conference that you're going to stay in the team, so you can do it!" Yang Cheng said.

Baros is only 22 years old, still at the age of rookies,

This text is provided by the fool of Qihang Xuan'er

Therefore, Yang Cheng announced that there is no problem with Baros staying in the team, and even if Baros is stayed, Liverpool's forward line is only 4 strikers, which is not much.

Rick Parry knew Yang Cheng's thoughts, and they had already made an appointment, and the guns should be unanimous to the outside world.

'I'm going to continue to make the right reinforcements on the wing, and we need to find a contender for Carrick.

It has not yet been determined who will be the reinforcement on the wing, but it is clear to everyone that the competitor for Carrick that Yang Cheng is talking about is Xavi Alonso of Real Sociedad.

He's been chasing the player for a year now.

"What do you think?" Yang Cheng looked at Benitez.

The Spanish fat man nodded, "I think we should make a move depending on the situation!" ”

Everyone listened to it and thought that Benitez's words were pertinent.

'Carrick has been really amazing in his half-season with the team, he has integrated into the team very quickly and he has performed very well, whether it is passing, organising, scheduling, combing the midfield and protecting the backline, he can do it very well, I think he can establish himself in the team.

This is indeed something that Yang Cheng and others did not think of when they decided to introduce Carrick.

Originally, they brought in Carrick more because the team needed a central midfielder who could control the tempo and provide the team with mid-to-long-range passes, and the selection of Carrick was just a compromise.

But Carrick's performance was eye-catching.

In the final analysis, Yang Cheng feels that it is Liverpool's overall tactics that are working.

Passing and positional sense are Carrick's strengths, although he has credit for controlling the rhythm, it is more about the team's cooperation around him, and it can be said that this set of tactics formulated by Yang Cheng is creating his excellent performance.

Otherwise, he went to the England national team and was directly beaten back to his original form, unable to control the rhythm at all, which are two completely different performances from in Liverpool. ,

This also proves Yang Cheng's point of view that the rhythm is not controlled by one person, but by the whole team together.

Therefore, Carrick's outstanding performance at Liverpool and surprise Yang Cheng and others can be seen as the progress he has made after integrating into Liverpool's overall tactics, but it is not enough to have one Carrick.

"Aarau Diarra, after more than a year of practice, has proven that he is more of a Vieira-style midfielder, and although he has some playmaking ability, he is completely unable to adapt to Carrick's role, so I agree with Yang Cheng that we should bring in a competitor for Carrick, at least as a substitute."

After hearing this, Rick Parry nodded repeatedly, "We will continue to wait and see, but as you know, Xavi Alonso is currently under the radar of many teams, Real Madrid is determined to win him, Manchester United has been chasing him, and now even Juventus, Roma, Chelsea and other teams have joined them." ”

Speaking of this, Liverpool's CEO looked at Yang Cheng and shook his head with a wry smile, "All this should depend on you!" ”

"Rely on me?" Yang Cheng thought it was funny, how could this be possible?

"The whole world knows that you are a Caesar buyer and you almost never buy a missing player, so when they hear that you are chasing Alonso, they immediately treat Xavi Alonso as a player of the level of Redondo, Pep Guardiola and Pirlo."

"Say, in this case, can the Spanish midfielder not be worth much?"

Hearing Rick Parry's rhetorical question, everyone burst into laughter.

Yang Cheng himself smiled bitterly, he didn't expect that Sheng Ming would bring this to him, he really couldn't laugh or cry.

'Actually, I think Xavi Alonso came to Liverpool to play Carrick's role at best and he needs time to settle into the team. Paul Beyer thought for a moment and analyzed.

Everyone nodded in unison, but did not speak, allowing Paul Beyer to continue.

"We have Carrick now, and another Xavi Alonso, isn't it a bit of a luxury?"

After Yang Cheng listened, although he liked Xavi Alonso very much, he couldn't help but nod.

With the current value of Xavi Alonso, there is no 15 million euros that cannot be taken down, if you meet Manchester United and Real Madrid again, the value will rise in a straight line, if it is urgently needed, then Yang Cheng will buy it when he drops his underwear, but the problem is that there is already a Carrick, and then the introduction of Xavi Alonso at a high price, is it worth it?

'I've been told that Chelsea are interested in giving up Veron, but the Argentine's salary is too high for anyone to care about, so it's likely to go on loan and then take part of the salary!' Paul Beyer suggested.

After listening to Paul Bayer's words just now, Yang Cheng's brain is now active, "This can be tried, but I think, do we try to introduce a midfielder with a different style and characteristics from the existing players?" ”

The tactical changes of a team are more arranged according to the technical characteristics of the players, so the technical characteristics of the midfielders are different, and the combined tactical effects are completely different.

The introduction of Veron should be to copy Carrick's model, but if you can bring in a player who is not currently available in Liverpool's midfield, it can bring some new changes to Liverpool, and maybe this will save Liverpool's life at a critical moment.

After listening to Yang Cheng's words, everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up, and they all felt that this attention was good.

So, a group of people began to discuss the selection of candidates again...... ）
