football dynasty

Speaking of which, Sunderland is still Levi's old rival. Last season, Robbie Keane coached Sunderland. For this reason, there was an influential war of words between Levi, who was once the representative of Manchester United and coached Manchester City at the time. , but the result ended with Robbie Keane being slapped in the face.

Although this is the case, this does not affect Levi's purchase of Black Cat Sunderland players.

This time Levi's target is future Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson.

Jordan Henderson has entered the youth training camp of Sunderland Football Club for football training since he was 7 years old. He has experienced all levels of youth teams of the Sunderland club. During this period, he helped the Sunderland youth team win the U18 Youth League Championship. -In the 2006 season, he entered the first team of Sunderland and became a player of the first team. He was loaned to Coventry in the British Championship in the second half of the last season, and had an outstanding performance in Coventry. For this reason, Hender this season Sen quickly became the team's main midfielder.

The black cat Sunderland did not refuse to sell Jordan Henderson, but they refused to sell the team's main players during the winter transfer period, at least when the price was not in place, they refused to sell.

For this reason, their price tag for Henderson was as high as 2000 million pounds!

Although Liverpool received 340 million pounds this winter through the sale of players, they had already spent 700 million pounds to buy Lallana and Lambert.What's more, Levi doesn't think the current Henderson is worth the price.

Just at this time, among the players recommended by the scouts, there was a midfielder who caught Li Wei's eyes.

Arturo Vidal!

The 22-year-old Arturo Vidal made his debut in the Chilean team Colo Colo. In three and a half years, Vidal played 56 times and scored 5 goals, helping the team win two Chilean Spring League championships and one The autumn league champion, and thus attracted the attention of European giants scouts.

In the summer of 2007, Vidal moved to Leverkusen in the Bundesliga for 1100 million euros. Membership records.

On August 2007, 8, Vidal, who missed the first round of the Bundesliga due to injury, played in the second round, but Leverkusen lost to Hamburg in the away game. In the third game of Leverkusen, Vidal He scored his first goal in the Bundesliga.

2008-09赛季比达尔在德国杯半决赛中首开纪录，帮助勒沃库森4比1击败美因茨足球俱乐部打进决赛。不过在最后的决赛中勒沃库森0比1不敌云达不莱梅，屈居亚军。

It is not easy to get this Leverkusen main midfielder, especially in the middle of the season.

Fortunately, at this time, Bayern did not know why they received the news, and he also stepped in to buy Vidal.

Leverkusen immediately seemed to be excited like chicken blood, but this excitement was not the excitement of joy, but the excitement of meeting an enemy.They firmly disagree with the transfer of players to Bayern, especially to join the sworn enemy in the league.

However, it is not easy for them to keep Vidal. Many fans know that the Bundesliga is no less attractive to Bayern than the back garden.In China there are Tsinghua University and Peking University, but in the Bundesliga there is only Bayern Munich!

Li Wei seized this opportunity and immediately raised the offer, 300 million euros plus 200 million floating bonuses, up to 500 million euros in transfer fees!
Leverkusen knew that selling him at a high price was undoubtedly the most appropriate choice when he couldn't keep the player.

After an afternoon of tug-of-war, the two sides finally reached an agreement.

Liverpool will pay Leverkusen 500 million euros, which is equivalent to 150 million pounds. In addition, there is a floating bonus clause of 300 million in the contract. The maximum Liverpool will pay Leverkusen is 800 million euros.

On the morning of January [-]th, Liverpool officially announced the introduction of the main player Arturo Vidal from the Bundesliga giants Bayer Leverkusen.

And yesterday, Levi returned to Liverpool from Germany, and now he has to direct the game against Reading tonight.

This is the FA Cup rematch. In the last FA Cup match, the two sides fought 1:1. For this reason, the head coach of Reading, Brian McDermott, also made a lot of nonsense and wanted to eliminate Liverpool at Anfield.

Many people would think that Li Wei would use a strong attacking formation in this game, but Li Wei only sent a substitute formation.

Among them, there are not many players who belong to the main force, only goalkeeper Reina, captain Gerrard, and Spanish forward Torres did not even make the 18-man squad and sat in the stands.

The most important task for Torres now is to heal his injuries, so Levi is not going to overuse him.

Replacing Torres up front was a forward duo of Loic Remy and Griezmann.

Behind them is a diamond-shaped midfield composed of Gerrard, Lallana, Lucas and Plessis.Gerrard's position is delayed, both defensive and offensive, and even more organized.

Lucas and Plessis defended with all their strength, especially when Gerrard advanced forward to attack, they needed to fill the defensive holes left by Gerrard's departure.

Lallana is an engine that can't run to death. Of course, Lallana's ball-holding skills are also superb. In addition to becoming an important core of the frontcourt pressing, he will also help Gerrard share part of the organizational tasks.

Just looking at Li Wei's formation, it makes people feel that Li Wei is preparing to defend and counterattack.

But it is different in the game. Loic Remy and Griezmann played very well in the frontcourt, especially Griezmann has very good skills at his feet. After Remy's pass, the first time he didn't shoot, but passed the ball with his heel. Gerrard rushed up and bombarded the goal with a heavy kick.

Because Remy compressed the defense, the defenders concentrated in the penalty area, so when Gerrard blasted the goal, there was no one around him.

In the 207th minute of the game, Liverpool finally broke the deadlock.

At that time, Lallana had the ball, and he made a breakthrough, but he hit the middle of the road and Gerrard came up.

Remy's players immediately became nervous. They could only tremble under Gerrard's heavy bombardment before, and Gerrard almost scored a goal once.

It's a pity that the football hit the post, and Remy's defensive players reacted quickly and made a clearance before Luac Remy touched the ball, otherwise the numbers on the scoreboard at Anfield would have been rewritten.

For this reason, Reading's defensive players took the initiative to rush out this time, trying to block Gerrard's heavy artillery with their bodies.

Gerrard is very smart. When he saw the action of the Reading player, he immediately changed the action of his feet. He raised his foot high, then lowered it gently, and kicked the football. He passed the player and jumped with his back, ready to block Gerrard. A Reading player with a German shot.

The Reading players did not expect that Gerrard would not shoot, but chose to break through, and let Gerrard break into the right side of the penalty area by surprise.

At this time, Gerrard was not polite, he directly volleyed the near corner of the goal vigorously.

The football angle is actually not very good, it is within the range of the goalkeeper to save, but Gerrard's shot is too powerful, and there are too many players in the penalty area.

When Reading's goalkeeper Federici saw the football and wanted to make a save, it was too late!

Reading's Federico could only twist his body, and then defend the football with his eyes, secretly praying that Gerrard's ball hit the post again, and it would be even better if it flew out of the sideline.

It's a pity that God is not on Reading's side this time. Although Gerrard's shot angle is not tricky, it just happens to make the shot angle hit the goal frame.

"Whoosh!"

The football rubbed against the net, making a crisp sound.

"gooooooooooooooool!" The TV commentator was very, very excited. "Stephen Gerrard! Gerrard!! Gerrard!!! The eternal captain of the Red Army, he has proved with his own strength that he will always be the one most worthy of entrustment!"

After the goal, Gerrard was very excited and ran on the sidelines.

Li Wei's celebration was not bad either. He roared and ran to the sidelines to applaud the fans.

I have to say that the stadium design of the Premier League is good. There is no such thing as a runway between the stands and the stadium.The stands are very close to the stadium, which also allows the players to interact well with the fans.
