When Yang Cheng and the four walked into the press conference one after another, the entire Anfield stadium press conference scene suddenly sounded a sound of flashing magnesium lights, and all the reporters stood up one after another.

Morse and Parry both looked at each other and smiled, Liverpool hadn't been on the radar of such a big battle for a long, long time.

Football is a very real world, when you succeed, journalists and media will chase you, but if you fail, all this will leave you, and they will not give you even the slightest mercy.

"Welcome to Anfield, ladies and gentlemen!" As soon as Yang Cheng sat down, he immediately opened a scene.

Everyone present immediately laughed, this should be the first time that Yang Cheng welcomed the arrival of these reporters and media as the lord of Anfield.

"Mr. Yang Cheng, welcome to the Premier League!" A journalist stood up.

"Thank you!" Yang Cheng smiled and nodded in response.

'We all wanted to know what made you give up on Chelsea in favour of Liverpool?' The reporter asked with concern, which is also a topic that countless fans are concerned about.

Yang Cheng smiled slightly, "Why do you think I should choose Chelsea?" ”

Everyone laughed, and the reporter hesitated, some of which he couldn't speak.

"Just because they're in London? Or do they have an endless amount of money to spend? Or do you think I can get a higher and better salary over there? Yang Cheng asked with a crackling smile.

The reporter was a little embarrassed, but fortunately Yang Cheng did not continue to ask, but calmly made a gesture towards him to sit down and gave him a decent step to sit down.

'I have a lot of respect for Liverpool, respect for the past of this team and the present, I came to Liverpool because I saw from Mr. Morse and Mr. Parry their love for this team, and it made me feel that it was a great pleasure to have their trust, so I was willing to give it a try.'

"Yes, everybody's right, Liverpool are in a bad situation right now, they can't play in the Champions League, they can only play in the UEFA Cup, our income has dropped a lot, we can't spend as much on the transfer market as our competitors, we can't buy top stars, but I want to say that we don't need all this!"

The reporters at the scene immediately burst into warm applause, all applauding Yang Cheng's self-confidence and passionate rhetoric.

"I've always believed that football is fair and that the title should belong to those who love it, so I believe that as long as all of our Liverpool players, from top to bottom, have a heart for the tireless pursuit of championship and honour, then sooner or later honour and pride will come to Anfield."

The applause was thunderous again, and I have to say that Yang Cheng's remarks are impeccable from any point of view.

"May I ask Mr. Yang Cheng, Owen's departure has had a huge impact on Liverpool's forward line, he is Liverpool's main attacker, and now leaving, will it affect your formation?"

Yang Cheng smiled, "First of all, I have to clarify that I respect Michael Owen's choice, he has dedicated his love to this club, he has the right to pursue the career he wants, but I always believe that Liverpool will not collapse because of the loss of Owen, because football is never a one-man game." ”

"Can you tell us what you think about the team? It's rumored that you're going to have a purge of Liverpool, is that true? ”

Yang Cheng shook his head, "I don't think there's anything fun about the Great Purge, what do you think?" ”

The crowd laughed again.

'Ferguson said, even if you come to Liverpool, the title of the new season still belongs to Manchester United, do you have any response to that? There was a reporter who stood up, and some were afraid that the world would not be chaotic to watch the play.

Yang Cheng smiled, "I believe he will soon regret saying this, because I came to the Premier League, he can no longer dominate, I came, just to give Manchester United a 4:0!" "At the end of the day, he looked incredibly confident.

"Well, well said!" Even David Morse and Rick Parry couldn't help but shout.

Ian Rush on the side applauded vigorously and applauded Yang Cheng's answer. , The reporters at the scene also applauded vigorously, feeling that Yang Cheng's answer really did not make their efforts in vain, and his answer could be described as-for-tat. "You can go back and convey it to Alex Ferguson and I will kick him and Manchester United off the throne of the Premier League!" Yang Cheng stood up, said with a smile, and then turned around and left.

…………

…………

"It's so enjoyable!" Rick Parry laughed in the office and praised, "Mr. Yang Cheng's words just now are so enjoyable, I guess Ferguson will be angry!" ”

"It's better to him off!" Ian Rush, who was Liverpool's chosen assistant to Yang Cheng, also heckled him along.

It is clear that neither of them has the slightest affection for Ferguson and Manchester United, and it is no wonder that Manchester United's rise can be said to be based on the decline of Liverpool, and the grievances and grievances provided by the ghost of setting sail between these two cities are so complex that they can really be described as a century-old grudge.

But Yang Cheng doesn't think Ferguson will be angry about this kind of thing, and even if he loses the championship, he won't feel that there is any problem, because if he really reaches their level, losing and losing the championship is not necessarily a bad thing.

The world of football is to put it bluntly, the strong are respected, if you lose, it can only mean that you are not as good as others, since this is the case, then what else is there to say?

Of course, a really smart person is trying to make up for his weaknesses, and then catch up with his opponent in terms of overall strength.

"Don't be happy yet, the team has a lot of problems right now!" Yang Cheng sighed.

When he took over Liverpool, he really took over a mess.

It's not that Liverpool's foundation is poor, but there are a lot of problems.

Looking at the entire first team, goalkeeper Dudek is 30 years old, and the goalkeeper's performance has always been average, if Liverpool is just an average Premier League powerhouse, it would be a little better, but as a giant team, Dudek is undoubtedly a little worse.

Of course, goalkeeper problems have always plagued the Premier League's biggest clubs, and even the England national team has a headache for it.

The backline is good, Liverpool conceded more goals in the Premier League last season than Manchester United and Chelsea, Hyypia's performances are among the top in the Premier League, consistent and reassuring, and what pleases Yang Cheng the most is his ability to read the game, although he is slow and slower, but he has excellent awareness, which makes him excellent in any situation.

However, Hyypia's partner is much inferior, and Yang Cheng intends to restructure the backline and let Carragher return to the middle to partner Hyypia, but in this way, the vacancy on the right side is let out.

It's okay for Riser on the left to drop back to play full-back, but he still needs a substitute, plus the central defenders are not enough for Hyypia and Carragher, Henkoz has a lot of injuries, and the substitute is also unstable, and another one needs to be introduced.

As for other players, Yang Cheng feels useless, such as Traore, almost retired Babel and others, Yang Cheng plans to push the transfer market, and then re-select the players he likes in the transfer market.

In midfield, Smitchell, Danny Murphy, Gerrard, Hamann, Aarau Diarra and others will stay, but Yang Cheng is not Houllier, he has to play attacking football, these players alone are not enough, you need to have two wings of attackers.

As for the front line, Michael Irving is gone, and it is useless for Husky to stay.

Houllier's best two-forward configuration is Husky and Irving, one high and one fast, Husky has been carved by him into a bridgehead, but the most important thing is that it is still a bridgehead that lacks shooting ability.

Speaking of Husky, Yang Cheng couldn't help but think of the jokes that England fans ridiculed him in his previous life.

Husky's efficiency is not lost to the two legends, how dare you be black again with such a shooter?

Huskey (England): 7 goals in 59 games; Iquita (Colombia): 8 goals in 68 games; Chilavert (Paraguay): 8 goals in 74 games.

And one more: what to do when you see Husky rushing over and trying to hit you?

A: Disguise yourself as a goal!

Someone even shouted, Husky is haunted, please stand in front of the goal to avoid being injured by mistake!

At that time, Yang Cheng almost didn't die of laughter when he saw these jokes, how much resentment should this have for them to make fun of Husky so much?

He has to admit that Hesky's shooting ability is indeed much worse than when he first debuted, and it is understandable that fans don't like him, but as a head coach, Husky is more important in terms of tactics. , Yang Cheng came to the Premier League, what he needed was a player who could be the fulcrum of the front court and be able to score points, Hesky had the former, but lacked the latter, so after Owen left, Hesky was destined to leave.

"We've spoken to Husky's agent and he's not short of buyers at the moment, Tottenham, Birmingham and many other teams are eager to get him, but the value is not estimated to be as high as last summer!" Rick Parry sighed.

In the summer of 2002, Husky was worth £15 million with a good World Cup performance, but now, with the Premier League teams generally shrinking their clothes and dieting, it is certainly not possible.

"Under £10 million, we won't sell!" Yang Cheng said.

10 million pounds is about 15 million euros, which is not expensive for a Premier League league with a local hukou complex, buying a national team striker at this price, after all, a tall man like Husky, as long as he partners with a fast striker, the role is still very large.

Rick Parry nodded in agreement, he felt that this value was still more reliable for Husky.

He was Liverpool's main player last season, but because he did not match Yang Cheng's coaching philosophy, he was forced to push into the transfer market, and the value of such a player will not drop much.

"Diouf should also go, and it is estimated that he will be able to recover around 5 million euros." Yang Cheng sighed.

Houllier's deal is really a big loss, 10 million euros to introduce Diouf, in just one year, it fell to 5 million, which is really a loser, which is why Yang Cheng has always tried to avoid introducing players who are hot in the big game, because their value always carries a lot of moisture.

Selling Diouf and Husky and recovering 20 million euros, plus Liverpool's previous 35 million euros, is indeed enough for Yang Cheng to operate in the transfer market, as for the other players in the team, such as Dio, Sherou, Biscayne and other players generally can't sell for a high price.

Although the transfer fee is too much, in fact, Liverpool needs to fill too many loopholes, and it still needs to be frugal to really operate, at least because Liverpool can't play the Champions League, so many top big-name stars don't have to count on it.

"By the way, Rick, what is Fulham's attitude towards Finnan's transfer?"

Rick Parry nodded, "It's basically all negotiated, 5 million euros, it's done!" "Yang Cheng heard a piece of good news, Finnan was the best right-back in the Premier League last season, and the defensive effort must be solid and solid, the problem is that he still has a lot of room for improvement, the key is to give him enough stimulation.

One thing Yang Cheng has to admire Benitez is his defensive construction.

Reese, Hyypia, Carragher and Finnan, this backline is definitely the best in Europe as long as it is well matched.

In the central defender position, Yang Cheng decided to keep Henkots, but the left, middle and right sides need to bring in a suitable substitute, and Liverpool's backline will be configured.

"By the way, Yang Cheng, we have informed Hyypia, Gerrard and Carragher that they will return to Liverpool as soon as they finish their vacation, and we will arrange for you to meet them at that time." Rick Parry said.

Hyypia is currently the captain of the team, while Steven Gerrard and Carragher are the team's home academy players after Owen's departure, and in a traditional Premier League that values the tradition, Yang Cheng must have their support if he wants to take control of Liverpool more quickly.

"Okay, call me then!"

Yang Cheng agreed, but he remembered another thing.

"What is Juventus' price tag for Davies now?"

Lippi's attitude towards the Dutch midfielder is clear to everyone, the wild boars were in a hurry to leave in the summer of '02, but then they were suppressed by Moggi and Lippi for a season, and now he still wants to go, but lacks a suitable buyer.

It's not that no one really fancies Davies, but because he has only one season left on his Juventus contract.

After the two sides fell out like this, everyone knew that the possibility of renewing the contract was zero, the 30-year-old Davies was eager to get a chance to play, and Juventus also wanted to be able to recover a little money from Davies, but for buyers, it remains to be seen how Davies is in shape, it is better to wait a while and get him for free.

Yang Cheng has just come from Serie A and knows Davies very well. This is a very well-rounded midfielder, not a midfielder, because he not only has a huge coverage of the defensive ability, but also can organize long-range shots, but he is also a winger with excellent speed and ability to push the ghost forward with the ball.

The 30-year-old may not be at the peak of his career, but at least he is in his late prime.

And after a season of banning, this guy's temper should at least be a little restrained.

"Rick, just give Moggie at Juventus a call and ask about the price of Davies." Yang Cheng sat on the rotating office chair and said.

"Now?" Rick Parry asked.

"Now!" Yang Cheng smiled affirmatively.

Rick Parry smiled, immediately picked up the phone on his desk, found Moji's phone, and dialed it.

As members of the G14, the top management has a close relationship with each other, and it is normal to have each other's phone calls.

"Ha, hello, Luciano, how are you doing?" As soon as the phone call, Rick Parry opened with a greeting.

"Hello, Rick!" The phone was on speakerphone, so everyone could hear it clearly.

"I want to know, Edgar Davis, how much does it cost?" Rick Parry asked.

"You want?" Mo Ji was a little surprised, but when the old fox thought about it, he smiled, "I guess Yang Cheng asked for it, why didn't he call me personally?" ”

Yang Cheng shook his head and laughed after hearing this, he would never call Moji's bastard.

"In a word, Luciano, give me a price!" Rick Parry didn't dwell on the subject.

Moggie has also been having a headache with Davies' problem recently, this Dutchman is really troublesome, the strength must be there, but it's just too difficult to do, after being banned for a season, it's still so troublesome, God knows what he wants to do?

"You should know very well, Rick, that there are a lot of people who want to get Davis right now!" Moggie habitually wants to blackmail him.

Yang Cheng casually grabbed the paper and pen next to the phone, immediately wrote a line on it, then turned it around for Rick Parry to see, and then pointed heavily, obviously asking Rick Parry to do so.

"Luciano, let's stop playing officially, in a word, 3 million euros, come if you want, don't forget it!"

"What? 3 million euros? Rick, are you kidding? If it's really that cheap, how much is Gerald and Hyypia? Moji looked like he was enraged.

Rick Parry also made an impossible expression towards Yang Cheng, Davis is also a top midfielder in the past, although he has been banned for one season and has one year left on his contract, it is difficult to be cheap to this extent.

Yang Cheng didn't copy the paper and pen again, quickly wrote another line, and then turned it around.

Rick Parry watched it, but he didn't know what Yang Cheng was doing.

"You think about it again, Luciano, there are not many teams that want to get Davies now, I am still going to talk to Bayern about Jeremes, he is also a player handpicked by Caesar, I don't have much spare time to continue to play tricks with you, in a word, to sell or not to sell?"

Moggie on the other side of the phone was obviously a little hesitant, it should be said that with one year left on his contract, Davis's transfer was really passive, which is why so many people waited and saw and did not make an offer.

After hesitating for a while, Moggie spoke: "Add a little more, 4 million euros!" "It's a big loss, last summer Rome paid 11 million euros, but as a result, Moggie didn't do it, it was rotten in his hands, *** loss.

Yang Cheng shook his head, and Rick Parry immediately replied, "You better think about it again." ”

Just as he was about to hang up the phone, Moggie sighed slightly, nodded and said, "Okay, you arrange for someone to come to Turin to talk, but Davis's side you have to handle it yourself, I can't handle him!" ”

"Of course, thank you, Luciano, for coming to Liverpool when you're free, and I'll treat you to dinner!" Rick Parry laughs.

"Okay." Mo Ji replied, but added, "This call should have been taught by Yang Cheng to make you, right?" ”

"Fuck, everyone's gone, still down there, bastard!" Moggie scolded and laughed.

It can be seen that although he is an opponent, his perception of Yang Cheng is still very good. (To be continued) [This text is provided by the Ghost of Sailing]
