Returning to England from France, Yang Cheng returned to his busy pre-season preparations.

Although Ribery has been brought in on the wide bench at the moment, it is still not enough, and Yang Cheng wants to go further to get a wide attacker, as he tasted the dilemma of lack of substitutes on the wing last season, and for this wide player, he already has a fixed goal.

On the day Yang Cheng returned to England, Juventus' offer for Baros was raised to €25 million.

Obviously, Moggie is worried, because Trezeguet was lured by Wenger, lost the league title in the last minute of last season, Arsenal said that he was very injured, Wenger needs a heavyweight reinforcement to boost morale, and the French striker combination of Trezeguet + Henry has a very promising prospect.

Without Trezeguet, Juventus will undoubtedly need a suitable player to fill the void, and Baros is considered by Moggi to be a very suitable player, at least judging by his performances at the European Championships.

Yang Cheng has repeatedly emphasized that in the transfer market, a player's strength and fame are all secondary, and the most important factor, that is, the factor that really determines the value of a player, depends on how high the buyer's demand is.

Juventus and Chelsea need to get a goalscorer, so they're going to have to die, it's as simple as that!

Seeing that Juventus' offer was pressing, Chelsea finally directly split the invincible ruble offensive, directly calling the price to the sky-high price of 30 million euros offered by Liverpool, and Abramovich even shouted that he would do his best to win Baroshe.

30 million euros, which is really something that no one expected.

But when you think about Baroshe's highlights at the European Championships, and when you think about the fact that he is only 22 years old and has a bright future ahead of him, it's easy to see why they are all looking for him.

As soon as Yang Cheng returned to England, he negotiated a move for Baros with Rick Parry the next day, and Liverpool immediately replied to Chelsea with an agreement that they would start making contact with the player.

In Yang Cheng's view, maybe if it continues to grind, Chelsea may offer a higher price, but what if not?

There are countless examples of such a basket, and it is only those who are greedy who will suffer, but Yang Cheng stopped in moderation and did not continue to pursue higher, to put it bluntly, Baros and Rooney cannot compare, the latter is younger, and he has a local household registration in England, which invisibly enhances his value.

The overall situation has been finalized, and the specific operation is that Rick Parry will be in charge, Yang Cheng will be in charge of the first team's training on the one hand, and he will go to Kirkby on the other hand.

Putting Kekby in jeopardy, especially when it comes to retooling the scouting system.

In the past, when Houllier was there, he had two or three scouts of his own, but now those scouts are gone with his departure, which makes Liverpool in a state of pause in scouting, even after Yang Cheng came to power, and because of the conflict between him and Steve Highey, the formation of the scouting system has been in a very slow state.

But now, with Yang Cheng's emphasis on youth training, he has rebuilt Liverpool's scouting system.

Any team's youth training and scouting system is a matter of merit in the present and in the future, Yang Cheng has experienced a team, he hopes to be able to leave something of his own to this team, so that all fans in the future can miss it, and can say his contribution to a team.

He has never been a man who only cares about the present and the future, from Kaiserslautern to Inter Milan to Liverpool, he has always stuck to his own way of doing things.

Looking at the nostalgia of Kaiserslautern fans today, the treasure trove he left to Kaiserslautern is still inexhaustible even now, so that Kaiserslautern can at least remain at the forefront of the Bundesliga for a long time and always be competitive.

Instead of winning the championship like everyone else, and leaving behind a mess.

Therefore, although many people think that Yang Cheng's rectification of Liverpool's youth training is a bit stupid, he still thinks it is worth it, because as long as you think that many years from now, Liverpool fans will miss him as much as Kaiserslautern and Inter Milan fans do today, it will be worth it.

Isn't the greatest achievement of a person's life being to make everyone remember him forever? This season, with the team's funds in place, Kirkby's rectification is also in full swing. Steve Highey still holds the title of Kirkby director, but many youth coaches have been terminated by Yang Cheng for various reasons, and some youth coaches who are in line with Yang Cheng's philosophy have stayed, and at the same time, through the relationship between Moniz and Mulensteen, several experienced youth coaches have been introduced from abroad.

The entire Kirkby's youth training style suddenly took on a new look.

Steve Highey is in charge of Kirkby's youth system, and Paul Johnson, who was poached by Yang Cheng from West Ham United, has become the head scouting director, and is also Liverpool's chief scout, he is the chief scout who can take charge of West Ham United, Tony Carr's most effective assistant, and even many people think that he is better than Tony Carr in terms of scouting players, but he has always played at West Ham United.

Since West Ham's relegation, the club's budget has been in trouble this season, and Paul Johnson finally decided to leave his hometown of London, and Steve Haway recommended the scouting director to Yang Cheng, and the two sides hit it off.

In addition to Paul Johnson, the chief scout, the second in command of the scout is also a character, that is, Malcolm Elias, a scout from Southampton, who single-handedly unearthed Bridge, Jones and other Premier League stars, and as soon as he came to Liverpool, he immediately offered a generous gift.

Theo Walcoat and Gareth Bale are two of Elias' gifts, with Steve Highey and Paul Johnson keeping an eye on Southampton's youth players.

In Kirkby, Yang Cheng sat in the conference room with everyone and negotiated the situation in Kirkby's academy.

'I've spoken to Rick Parry and we've all agreed to invest more in the academy, so the academy can get a €10 million investment for the new season, but I need to see the results, so you have to send me the best plan in the shortest possible time.'

At the meeting, as the number one real power faction of the club, Yang Cheng was very strict in the youth training, and even he had very high requirements for the introduction of every piece of equipment and the construction of the venue.

Steve Haway nodded in agreement, after he went abroad to investigate, he really found that the outside world is really too different from England, and some people have suggested that he go out before, but he felt that it was unnecessary, but after he really went out, he felt that he was backward.

After returning, he immediately submitted a plan, hoping to let Liverpool's Kirkby College have more experience in communicating and playing with the outside world every year, and at the same time arrange for some coaches to study abroad as much as possible.

"The scouting system needs to be up and running as soon as possible, you don't need more scouts, but you must be professional, love the job, love football, and then arrange to go to different areas to cultivate a good network as soon as possible, you confirm it as soon as possible, and then submit a list and plan to me!"

Everyone recorded this again.

After this reorganization, Yang Cheng's influence on Kirkby has penetrated into all aspects, and everything is arranged according to Yang Cheng's wishes, such as the selection criteria of the academy, Yang Cheng has put forward three criteria, ball quotient, technology and body, that is to say, the most valued body in England's selection, Yang Cheng put him last.

If he hadn't experienced this half-year trip to Europe, Steve Highey would definitely be the first to stand up and express his doubts, but after looking at the youth training systems of other countries, he really felt that Yang Cheng's three standards were reasonable.

Arsenal's youth team was good before, but when they met Spain's Barcelona youth team, they were directly slaughtered by others, that is, in that game, Wenger fell in love with Cesc Fabregas.

Manchester United's academy is not bad, but when it encounters teams from other countries, it is still beaten by others.

But the youth camps of these two teams are in England, which can only show one thing, England's youth training is behind closed doors, Yang Cheng was not wrong with his criticism at the beginning, it is the frog at the bottom of the well, and he will always only see a big piece of the sky.

Yang Cheng's arrival allowed them to jump out of this dry well, and also let them see the outside world. ,…………

…………

For a whole afternoon, Yang Cheng held a meeting at Kirkby's side, discussing every detail, and even the turf of the academy he had to go over and inspect it in person, and he was satisfied with it, and those aspects of drainage and geothermal heat were even more concerned, because England itself is a place with abundant rain and snow in winter. Back at Melwood Training Base, the evening training session has begun.

Adhering to Yang Cheng's summer training standard of three practices a day, Yang Cheng hated to train them all to the ground.

According to Liverpool's plan, after two weeks of intense training locally, the team will travel to the United States to participate in a European Club Champions Tour initiated by a sports operation company in the United States, inviting all the top teams in Europe, as last season's Premier League champions, coupled with Yang Cheng's appeal in the United States, the other party has given enough sincerity and appearance fees.

In addition to Liverpool, there are Chelsea and Manchester United in the Premier League, Roma and AC Milan in Serie A, Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, Celtic in the Soviet Super League, and Porto in Portugal and Galatasaray in Turkey.

Liverpool will play in three of these games, against Bayern Munich, Celtic and Roma, on July 25, 28 and 31 respectively, and after playing these three warm-up games that should be of high quality, Liverpool will be invited to participate in the Amsterdam Cup, which is the second consecutive year that the Reds have participated in this competition.

Speaking of the reason, last year, it was mainly Manchester United that paid attention to the American market and rejected Ajax's invitation, so it chose Liverpool, but this season, as the Premier League champion, Liverpool was invited.

However, the level of the teams participating in this cup this season is not very high, River Plate and Panathinaiks, the latter is a fish belly team, the former is very good, so Yang Cheng also listed this event as an important preparation for the early season along with the United States tour.

That is, because there are a lot of things to prepare before the season, and Yang Cheng has to get everything done by Kirkby and Melwood as soon as possible before the trip to the United States, so he has been working overtime at Melwood these days.

When he was about to leave Melwood, he found that the lights were still on in one corner of the training ground.

Xiao Xiaoluo is diligently practicing the dribbling training that Yang Cheng and he bet on before, and after a year, his results have always remained inconsistent between 18-21 seconds, and occasionally a little better can reach 17 seconds, but rarely.

Don't underestimate 1 second, for players whose technical level and speed have reached a certain level, from 18 seconds to 17 seconds, the difficulty is definitely dozens of times from 26 seconds to 18 seconds, or even more than 100 times, because the latter is an improvement within the scope of technology, which can be achieved by hard work and thinking, but the former is the improvement of the body, the use of technical movements, and the control of all aspects of the player.

Yang Cheng doesn't underestimate Cristiano Ronaldo, but he feels that if the Portuguese can reach 17 seconds, it will be enough for him to elevate himself to the level of a top star, and as long as the technique is used properly, he will definitely be able to achieve the same achievements as in his previous life.

Of course, if he wants to be better, he needs to work harder.

Bypassing obstacles again and again, repeatedly dribbling and speeding up again and again, and the physical energy was consumed very quickly, Xiao Xiaoluo fell down not long after.

Yang Cheng saw all this in the window of his office, and he felt that this guy didn't look like he was training, but like he was venting, which reminded him of the appearance of Xiao Xiaoluo crying in front of the camera after Portugal lost to Greece in the final of the European Championship.

Sighing, he felt that the Portuguese were too obsessed with victory, that is, too competitive.

It's good to be competitive, which proves that players will be self-disciplined and will always be full of fighting spirit, but if they are too competitive, they will eventually become a tendency, that is, when things are going well, they will be like a bamboo, and when they encounter difficulties, when they encounter trouble, they will start to become agitated and become savage.

Yang Cheng himself has read psychology and knows that this kind of personality problem is difficult to persuade, because if you persuade him, the effect is not good, and it is easy to provoke Xiao Xiaoluo's disgust, so Yang Cheng has never persuaded him and let him continue his personality.

But now, he's hit a wall, and it's time for him to step up.

…………

............, Yang Cheng is actually not very familiar with the streets of Liverpool, because the streets of the city are very narrow, and he doesn't like to turn into some roads that are too narrow, so he comes and goes on those main roads.

I still remember the last time I took Yang Cheng's car, they were also going to Isola Bella from Melwood, and it was also this car, when Xiao Xiaoluo was like now, looking out the window, the scenery kept flying away, and Liverpool did not have too busy nightlife at night.

It's a cold, dilapidated industrial city! Maybe he felt that there was no sound in the car and was a little bored, so Yang Cheng opened the CD and listened to the songs.

Avril Lavigne's [Bell of Freedom], the latest single, is said to have sold crazy in the United States, and her MV is still directly based on the passionate shots of some of the Inter Milan games coached by Yang Cheng, and Yang Cheng appeared in it, as a result, this single won the first place on Billboard's HOT100 singles chart as soon as it appeared.

This is the first time for Avril, and she defeated the previously very promising Arthur Kid, which made many people interested in this hit list song, and after careful analysis, they also feel that most of it has a lot to do with the promotion of the record company and the hot European Cup this summer, after all, the football elements in this song are very rich, and there is also a thunderous Yang Cheng in the football field.

At present, this song has also won the championship in HOT100 for several weeks, the advantage is very obvious, and the sales of the album are also rising, with a super high sales of 1.5 million copies in the first week.

Avril also made a special phone call to thank her for this matter, and said that Yang Cheng arrived in the United States in the summer, and she must thank him well, and the record company hopes to have the opportunity to continue to cooperate.

The song is very long, and Isola Bella from Melwood to Dale Street is exactly the right thing to listen to.

The two got out of the car and went in to order something to eat.

Yang Cheng didn't say anything during the whole process, just casually chatted with Xiao Xiaoluo about family life, such as whether he had bought a house near Liverpool, whether he planned to pick up his family, or whether he had a girlfriend or something.

Although Yang Cheng is the head coach, he is actually not yet 32 years old, and many ideas are still up to date, and he is not the kind of serious man who is hard in private, so he chats with Xiao Xiaoluo very well, but this kid is very wary and doesn't like to talk too deeply, and he always stops in moderation.

After eating a meal, Yang Cheng sent Xiao Xiaoluo to his door again.

The Portuguese kid got out of the car, and didn't seem to have the idea of keeping Yang Cheng in for a while, while Yang Cheng was sitting in the main driver's seat, waving to him, ready to leave, it's not good that people don't welcome you, do you have to go?

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Xiaoluo finally leaned on the window again.

"Thank you, Chief!" He said a word, turned and left.

Yang Cheng shook his head and smiled, this kid still has this temper, but he is still a little happy in his heart.

At least he knows how to say thank you, proving that he knows Yang Cheng's intentions.

To deal with this kind of person, the most important thing is not to use any reason or power to change him, but to let him know that you care about him from the bottom of your heart, you want him to be good, and only when he understands this, he will make changes himself.

Just like last Christmas, Xiao Xiaoluo also went through a period of training, and then was enlightened by Nedved and others, before accepting Yang Cheng's suggestion, and his style of play changed a lot.

But more needs to be done to completely change him as a person.

"Take your time!" Yang Cheng looked at Xiao Xiaoluo's back, laughed, stepped on the accelerator deeply, and the sports car sped out and went home, he had to rush out tomorrow to inspect a player...... ）
