"Stephen, are you crazy? Buying Irving back? Have you forgotten what he said about us last year?" Garcia immediately interjected. At this time, he seemed more angry than Carragher, "What have we become? Traitor detention center? What bastards? If Irving can come back, then, can I go to Manchester United for two years and then come back to play!"

His anger was still directed at Figo, but his words were recognized by most people.

Owen is a traitor, this is the consensus of everyone.They don't care what others say, no matter how good the reason is, they don't care.For Liverpool people, what they remember is Owen's negative comments on Liverpool before Liverpool's strong opponent and Liverpool's sour words after winning the championship.Figo and the others had no personal pain with them, but Owen was the person they hated the most.

"Of course I know what he said, but he has repented. He called me, apologized, and congratulated us on winning the championship. After all, he was still the core of this team. He..."

"He is a traitor. How can you believe the traitor's words?" Garcia immediately said, "He betrayed us, so what confession?" [

"That's not right. You have only been in the team for a year, and you can call yourself us. How many years has he played with us..."

"Have I done anything to be sorry for Liverpool? Have I said anything bad about Liverpool before their big game? I love this team, it's been a short time, but I've given and received here, but he Not necessarily." Garcia immediately pushed back, "It's the end of the year, some people just don't know what gratitude is by nature."

This summer, there are actually quite a few strikers who have been rumored to be involved with Liverpool, and Irving is one of them. The players are also ready for a newcomer, but Owen...no one has thought about how to receive him.

The three people with the most scandals this year are Spain's Villa, Germany's Klose, and Britain's Owen.

Among the three, Benitez's favorite is Villa.In his opinion, Villa's level of strength is enough to play in Liverpool, and other styles of play are also enough to be able to play double forwards, which still has an unexpected effect on changing formations.

But Villa firmly expressed his reluctance to come.He is a player kicked out from the bottom. He has a hard life and is far more cautious than others when making choices.Going abroad to play football is a huge challenge for him, and he is unwilling to try it.Moreover, in the Spanish team, he has a stable chance to play, and the team is willing to revolve around him and let him play the core of the midfield. These things are incomparable to others.

Therefore, for Liverpool's solicitation, he wisely chose to refuse: it is a good thing to have pursuit, but it is equally important to do what you can.

After Villa rejected Liverpool, Liverpool also made an offer of 800 million to Bremen in Germany to acquire Bremen striker Klose.But this signing plan, Klose and Bremen have the same attitude: directly reject.

This made Benitez a little unhappy.As a striker, Klose's ability is indeed very good.For example, his comprehensiveness is comparable to Shevchenko, Henry and others. Although he is not as good as a pure tactical center like Drogba, he is indeed very comprehensive.

And his ability to continue to improve is also very admirable.According to Wenger's theory, after the age of 25, players basically have no progress.However, it is not easy for Klose to be able to train from a striker with almost zero skills in his early years.

Although his goal rate is only 0, which is fundamentally different from Henry, Sheva and others, but Benitez believes that if he is willing to come to Liverpool, Benitez will build tactics for him and have With the help of Zhao Yaning, Gerrard, and Figo, he can definitely make Liverpool very strong.

However, what he refused was very straightforward, and the reason was actually very simple: the problem of money.

Klose is the starting striker of the national team in Germany, the absolute main force, and the darling of the league, the most eye-catching existence, and the advertising fees he earns are second only to Bayern's Ballack.Although it is difficult for him to win any championship in Bremen, he can have an annual salary of 300 million, a large number of advertising contracts, and is sought after by people because he is the main striker of the German national team. For him, fame and wealth are all at his fingertips , It's very cool to brush up data in Bremen, there is no need to go to other teams to compete for positions and grab the main force, not to mention, Liverpool can't give him a contract with a weekly salary of 8, he has no For the sake of a championship, he gave up a large endorsement contract and a high salary to come to Liverpool.

This is also the reason why Bremen refused to let go: Although when they bought Klose, they took advantage of it, Kaiserslautern mortgaged Klose to the gaming company, so that when Bremen bought him , The transfer fee is only a mere 500 million euros.But the problem is that in order to get Klose to agree to that deal, they paid Klose a signing fee of more than 1000 million euros.The money Liverpool gave was not as high as Klose's signing fee, so of course they refused to agree.

For such a thing, Benitez is also naive.Klose is a good striker, but he likes money.Moreover, he is not lacking in fame and wealth, whether it is the championship or progress, it is the icing on the cake for him. He does not ask for these, let alone the Champions League, any championship can impress him.

And Michael Owen can’t play in Real Madrid. It is true that he wants to return to England, but there are many other transfer rumors related to him. Arsenal and Newcastle all claim to be interested in Owen. Owen’s agent still believes that, Irving is a world-class striker.

At first, everyone thought that if he had a little face, he would not go to Liverpool again, but obviously, his face was thicker than they thought.

"He's my friend." Gerald was silent for a while before he opened his mouth, "Of course, maybe it's just my wishful thinking, but, after all, I have always regarded him as a friend these years. He wants to come back, wants to Playing for Liverpool. He begged for my help, can I say no?"

No one in the room spoke anymore, and Gerald was right in saying that, after all, he had to speak for his friend. [

"We are actually considering Irving." Benitez said, "I have considered this issue. A counter-attacking striker is not redundant for us. Moreover, the club is already negotiating."

It can be seen that Benitez's expression is not very good.For this transaction, he also felt dissatisfied and angry.But this is decided by the club. Here, after all, there are too many people who have a good relationship with Irving.

Benitez's words made everyone focus on him, "Is Real Madrid not willing to let people go?"

"No, Real Madrid is willing to let people go, but Real Madrid asked for a high price, and they asked for 2000 million."

"It was 800 million when he left last year, right?" Garcia remembered something and apologized to Nunes next to him, "2000 million is too unreliable. Since he wants to come back, let him Help lower the price."

"He thinks it's unprofessional to do that." Yesterdan said slowly from the side.

Although Owen has been clamoring that he wants to return to Liverpool, Real Madrid refused to let go of the transfer fee and insisted on 2000 million.They said that Irving still has a three-year contract, which is different from last year's one-year contract, so the price will naturally be raised.But Liverpool also refused to be taken advantage of. It was sold for 1000 million last year, and it was one year older. After being on the bench for a year, it would have to double. Naturally, Liverpool could not accept this price.

But Owen's own attitude is very unclear.When interviewing the media, he kept saying that he missed Liverpool, wanted to return to Liverpool, and regretted leaving Liverpool.But regarding the negotiations between Real Madrid and Liverpool, he said that he is a professional player and he would not do anything to help buyers lower prices.

This sentence made everyone present stunned, and then an unprecedented burst of laughter broke out.Gerrard, who was laughing, blushed more and more, but he still didn't say anything.

"It's unlikely that he will help us lower the price..." Yesterdan continued, "His agent is preparing to ask us for a high-salary contract, so in fact, he hasn't negotiated with us yet."

"High salary?" Alonso was puzzled.

"He asked for 11 a week. You know, Stephen just raised it to 10..."

"Stephen is a youth training player. The team didn't spend a penny in transfer fees for him. The salary should be higher. Since Owen needs to spend money to buy him, why should he ask for a high salary?"

Although Irving is now more professional, he is also more professional.The 'professional player' did not hesitate when asking for a professional contract.His agent kept silent about how dirty Irving was when he left Liverpool, but he just killed him and believed that Owen was from Liverpool's youth training. Mr. Football, since Gerrard can get a big contract with a salary of 10 a week , Then, Owen should get a bigger one.Moreover, Irving now has an annual salary of 400 million. He can’t accept a salary cut and he doesn’t mention it at all. Irving’s high salary is obtained by cheating Liverpool, helping Real Madrid save transfer fees, and adding the special low tax rate of La Liga. .

The team's youth training does not cost the team's transfer fee, so the salary will naturally be higher.When Irving was in Liverpool before, he also got a high salary.But since the player has left and comes back now, he will be regarded as a transferred player. The team has already paid the transfer fee, so why should they pay a high salary?And with a weekly salary of 11, this salary is the highest in the Premier League.

If Irving hadn't transferred last year and was still in the team, with his status as Mr. Footballer, he led the team to win the championship, and he would never give up for many years. It would not be too much to ask for a weekly salary of 11.However, those who have already left, who can't survive abroad and come back, still want a weekly salary of 11?Liverpool is Owen's own club?Or is it that Liverpool can't do without him?

Everyone in the room was extremely dissatisfied, but at this time, Benitez coughed, and then said, "The boss agreed to this deal, and Mr. Parry is negotiating... We will not agree to those unreasonable things." It is required, but everyone should not have too much opinion on him."

"What he actually wants is respect." Gerrard began to speak, "He is afraid that we will not respect him. He is not short of money. He told me that he wants a high salary. I'm afraid that if he doesn't have the Champions League, everyone will look down on him."

"Then why did he go to Real Madrid..." Garcia whispered, "Even if he comes, I won't respect him like I respect you."

"If it is necessary to show respect to him..." Zhao Yaning understood the meaning of Gerrard's words, "I can give up the No. [-] jersey as a sign of welcome to him."

"That's really great." Gerrard said in front of others, "I thank you for him, and the club will thank you. I have been talking to the club all the time. This year's Golden Globes, the club will definitely I will do my best to help you.”

"This is for you, not for him." Zhao Yaning made a special statement, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be so easy to talk to. Besides, do you really think it's worth it? You are the captain, our champion, yes If the team takes it, if you praise you, you can also enter the top five."[

This time, Gerald hesitated for a while before speaking, "There is still a chance. And, for the sake of friendship, it's worth it. If Michael comes back again, then our future will be even brighter."

"Our future must be bright, and this is his light." Garcia muttered, "As long as we are Liverpool, we will always be radiant. Our brilliance does not need his help."
