Chapter 232 Looking for a Guard
The winter transfer period has finally arrived. This is undoubtedly good news for the players who have been fighting for several months. Everyone can take this time to rest, recharge their batteries, wait for the game to start again, and make the final sprint for the champion of the off-duty schedule.

But unlike other leagues, Premier League players don’t have any special feelings about the winter break, because there is no winter break in the Premier League. As for the winter transfer market, that’s when clubs need to be busy, and Premier League players can only continue to fight.Of course, you can also look forward to Christmas coming sooner in your heart. After all, on Christmas Day, the Premier League will definitely have a truce.

"The Swiss must be leaving. God, you asked me to go there to find you a vacant seat that can make up for Henkez's departure during the short winter break." Parry looked at Benitez in front of him and couldn't help touching his forehead. He said with a headache.

"Hehe, I don't care about this. In short, Henkez's departure from Liverpool is already doomed. If the club does not introduce a strong central defender, I can't guarantee what will happen to Liverpool in the second half of the season."

Benitez said with a smile that Benitez was in a good mood during this period. Liverpool replaced the new chairman, which quickly stabilized the originally turbulent Liverpool. Under his leadership, Liverpool won various competitions.

If you lose the Charity Shield, you will lose it. It’s no big deal. Benitez knows very well that for his own Liverpool, perhaps the Champions League championship is not as important as the Premier League championship trophy. After all, Liverpool has not tasted the championship for a long time.

Although he kept winning, Benitez was not dazzled by the victory. On the contrary, as the team achieved better and better results, Benitez thought too much.With the advent of Christmas and the opening of the winter transfer market, Benitez urgently needs to introduce some players to strengthen the team.No, after finishing today's team training, Benitez rushed to Parry's office and talked with Parry about buying players.

"Hehe, Mr. Benitez, please don't say that. I believe you also understand how eager Liverpool are to win the league championship and the Champions League. I also understand some internal situations in the team at the moment. Now that you have found me, then tell me which player needs to be introduced. After all, I am the general manager of the team. I must plan carefully and save every penny for the owner and the club."

Regarding Benitez's request, Parry did not say anything, because Parry also understood that with Henkez's departure, and it is not yet known which players in the Liverpool team have contacted other clubs in private, so it is necessary to buy players.

"The Swiss are determined to leave, so I asked the club to introduce me a powerful central defender. This person must have good physical fitness, fierce defense, and at the same time not be short. Of course, according to the current situation of the team, Husky can't leave. I used to say that Husky can leave, but the situation is different now. Michael is very good, but his health is not good. Looking at the current situation, Michael is injured. If Hesky didn't come out, I'm afraid our Liverpool would not be able to achieve such a good result."

After thinking about it carefully, Benitez stated his request. Of course, this is only the most basic request. With the opening of the winter transfer market, there will definitely be people who will leave and others will come in.

"This is no problem. The team really needs to find a vacancy that can make up for Henkez's departure. I have no opinion on this point. In short, you are the head coach of the team. As for the selection, you are responsible. You just need to give me the list, and then I will ask someone to discuss player transfers. Of course, Emily is an excellent player, and I don't want Emily to leave Liverpool. Don't worry about this, I will take care of it."

Hearing Benitez's request, Parry nodded after careful consideration. After all, Benitez's request was not excessive at all. It was too simple and a necessary request.I am afraid that even if Benitez does not ask the club to buy a new defender to make up for the vacancy left by Henkez, the club itself will consider it.

As for Husky, although Husky's current status in Liverpool is a bit embarrassing, it has to be said that the existence of Husky is definitely of great benefit to Liverpool.At the beginning, Liverpool paid a lot of money to get Husky, and Parry himself would not be willing to let the club hand over Husky to other teams so easily.

"Since this is the case, let me talk about a player I observed. This player is called Mario Yepes. He is a Colombian player in South America. This guy has quick responses, good physical fitness, fierce defense, and strong body. He is undoubtedly the best candidate to make up for the vacancy left by Henkez. More importantly, this Yepes is only 26 years old this year. He is not very well-known at the same time. I believe that if the club makes a move, the price of 500 million US dollars can bring this guy from Nantes, France to Liverpool."

Seeing that Parry nodded in agreement, Old Bei named the player he liked.Like all head coaches, Benitez doesn't like to blindly pursue stars, and like a mad dog, he takes money in his hand and goes around throwing stars back.For Benitez, just like all head coaches, it doesn't matter how famous the player is, the most important thing is that this person must pass the physical fitness level, and it is enough to be practical.

"Yepes, I haven't heard of this guy, but you just mentioned the characteristics of this person, I thought of the defensive core of the Bundesliga Leverkusen team, the Brazilian Lucio, you know this Lucio is a very good player, how about it, coach, should you think about it."

After listening to Benitez’s words, Parry immediately expressed his thoughts. After all, Parry also knew during this period that Henkez’s departure from the team has become a foregone conclusion, so as early as Ham took over the Liverpool club and gave Parry all the rights, Parry had already started looking for a player who could take over the vacant position of Henkez.

"Well, sir, I also know the Lucio you mentioned. This guy is indeed a great player. If you can bring Lucio to Liverpool, then I absolutely welcome it. But as far as I know, Bayern Munich also has a lot of affection for Lucio. You know, compared with Bayern Munich, our Liverpool does not have much advantage. At the same time, according to my thinking, if you want to bring Lucio to Liverpool, you need at least 1000 million US dollars, or even more. In addition, there is a Bayern Munich Munich is eyeing it, and I'm afraid our transfer fee of 500 million US dollars will not be enough."

Hearing that Parry mentioned Lucio, Benitez couldn't help being taken aback, information about Lucio suddenly flooded into his mind, he thought for a while and expressed his thoughts.

"Well, what you said is indeed reasonable. I'm afraid it will not be an easy task to bring Lucio to Liverpool. But Lucio is indeed a good guy and quite capable. If I just give up like this, I will always be a little bit unwilling."

Parry also understood that Benitez's words were very reasonable, but he still spoke unwillingly.

Indeed, it is basically difficult for Liverpool to buy a super player and a defender at present.Under normal circumstances, players like these have long been mastered by major giants. It is obviously not an easy task for Liverpool to poach other giants, unless they learn from Real Madrid and spend huge sums of money on them.

However, Liverpool is not Real Madrid, and they are destined not to spend money like Real Madrid, so for Liverpool, it is really difficult to poach a star-level defender from other wealthy clubs.

Since the defenders of the rich teams have nothing to do, Liverpool can only turn their attention to other teams that are not rich, and find a good central defender from which teams.

And Lucio is undoubtedly the most suitable player at present. The first is that Lucio’s Leverkusen club is not a wealthy team, and the Bundesliga is covered by Bayern Munich. It seems that Leverkusen basically has no chance to win the championship. This is undoubtedly a serious blow to a professional player and a player who is eager to win the championship.

I dare not say anything else, at least a powerful player like Lucio is definitely a sweetie in the eyes of Bayern Munich. Even if Liverpool does not make a move, I am afraid that Bayern Munich will make a move and bring Lucio to the Olympic Stadium.

Compared with Bayern Munich, Liverpool has no advantage at all. In terms of strength and influence, Bayern Munich is the overlord of the Bundesliga and a top-notch club. It is very easy for Bayern Munich to win the Bundesliga championship. Unlike Liverpool, at least Arsenal and Manchester United are watching from the sidelines in the Premier League.

At the same time, Lucio has been playing in the Bundesliga for several years, and he is used to the life and Bundesliga games in Germany. If Lucio is allowed to come to the Premier League, Lucio will have to adapt to the games and life in the Premier League. For Lucio, it is definitely a problem.

But Bayern Munich is different, it is also the Bundesliga team, but also the overlord of the Bundesliga, Lucio going to Bayern Munich, not only can continue to fight in the Bundesliga he is familiar with, but also can follow Bayern Munich to win the Bundesliga championship, which is really a good thing for Lucio.

As for Liverpool, Lucio is neither familiar with the Premier League nor used to life in the UK, everything needs to adapt.What's more important is that in the Premier League, Liverpool is not the Bayern Munich of the Bundesliga, and you can't control the sky with your own hands. You must know that Liverpool has not won the Premier League championship for many years.

Therefore, comparing Liverpool and Bayern Munich, even Parry and Benitez have to admit that for Lucio, Bayern Munich is obviously more attractive than Liverpool.

"Since this is the case, then you should try it and ask what Lucio and Leverkusen mean. Of course, according to my idea, we can't regard Lucio as our main goal, so we will act in two lines. While contacting Lucio and Leverkusen, we will go to Nantes to contact Yepes. In any case, before the end of the winter transfer period, the team must introduce a new defender."

Seeing Parry's unwilling expression, Benitez thought for a while and said.

"Well, since this is the case, let's try it on two lines. I really hope that God can give me good news, and I can see a free star player during the winter transfer period."

Listening to what Benitez said, Parry also understood that this is undoubtedly the best way, and nodded in agreement.At the same time, I keep praying, hoping to meet a free agent when the winter transfer market opens.

Hearing Parry's words, Benitez smiled and said nothing. Obviously, Benitez didn't have any expectations for Parry's prayer.Because it is almost impossible for a star to become a free agent during the winter transfer period, unless there is an irreconcilable conflict between the star and his club, otherwise, this situation will definitely not happen.

"Okay, sir, we need to hurry up on these things at the moment, so as not to be in a hurry. It's getting late now, so I'll go back first." Seeing that everything has been said, and after discussing with Parry, Benitez stood up and said.

"Oh~ good coach, don't worry, before the winter transfer market closes, I will definitely bring you a defender who will satisfy you." Seeing that Benitez was about to leave, Parry also stood up and shook hands with Benitez.

"Hey~ Damn, this kind of life is what I want." Watching Benitez leave, Parry immediately lay down on the chair, thinking with a satisfied face.

Parry is indeed very happy now. Compared with working under Morse before, Parry prefers his current life.Why, the reason is very simple, that is, the chairman of Ham does not care about Liverpool's affairs at all, and gives Parry all the power to take full charge of all affairs of the club.It can be said that although Parry is currently only the general manager of Liverpool, what he has done is indeed the chairman of Liverpool.How could such a life and work make Parry dissatisfied.

However, Parry is also very clear that after all, he is only the general manager of the Liverpool club. After all, he is just a player working for Chairman Ham, not the real chairman of Liverpool.

So Parry also understands that there are some things about the club, and he may be able to make decisions temporarily on behalf of Chairman Ham, but there are some things that absolutely cannot be decided by himself. Even if Ham has given Parry the power, Parry also understands, don't take yourself seriously, otherwise, I might receive a message telling him to get out that day.

Parry directly used the name of the Liverpool club to send a fax to Leverkusen in the Bundesliga. The content is very simple, that is, he wants to buy Leverkusen's defensive core Lucio.In the fax, Parry also vaguely mentioned that the transfer fee was 800 million.

In fact, Parry also understands that it is really difficult to bring Lucio to Liverpool for 800 million.But this transfer is the same as doing business, it is a matter of asking a lot of money, and finally taking a step back from each other.So Parry deliberately said 800 million, just to set the bottom line to death, and don't let Leverkusen ask too high.

Parry believes that if Leverkusen really wants to complete this transfer, although he currently offers 800 million, he will definitely have to increase the price in the future. At that time, he will increase it to 1000 million, or even 1000 to [-] million.

However, Leverkusen still disappointed Parry. Faced with Parry's proposal, Leverkusen directly refused, and even when Parry directly increased the price to 200 million, Leverkusen did not agree.Seeing this situation, Parry finally had to give up Lucio. (When Lucio moved to Bayern in 04, the transfer fee was only 200 million.)
Although he really wants to get Lucio, Parry doesn't want to be taken advantage of by Leverkusen and be ruthlessly slaughtered.So although Parry was not reconciled, he reluctantly gave up the idea of ​​introducing Lucio, and turned his attention to Yepes, whom Benitez said. At the same time, he also asked people to look for suitable players from all over the world, especially in the Brazilian and Argentine leagues.
