Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 962 Asian Cup ([-])

In this winter's transfer market, Liverpool's actions are very small, almost none. After Klopp took office, he has not yet completed his understanding of the team's personnel composition. Of course, he will not be in a hurry to make any big moves. Difficult things, simple Who wants to lose their mainstay halfway through the season? !
Even if a large sum of money is in hand, there is little room for supplementation in the transfer market, and integration after the supplementation is also a big problem. According to everyone's consensus, it is better to spend in the summer transfer market than to make small troubles during the winter break. The earlier the action is, the effect will definitely be better.

So Klopp is not in a hurry, but after seeing Dele Alli's information, he has an idea. He wants this young man. Dele Alli is a central midfielder. He is young and has strong plasticity. The reason why Klopp was able to create such a great reputation in Mainz and Dortmund is that the training of young players is what he is most proud of.

Gotze, Reus, Lewandowski, etc. are all famous under his hands, and he is confident in training Dele Alli well.

Among Liverpool's current midfielders, there are not many offensive and defensive midfielders like Dele Alli. Can is more like a defensive midfielder. Henderson's ability is actually mediocre. Gerrard is old, and Joe Allen, Lallana and others are actually attacking midfielders, and their characteristics are not as comprehensive as Ali. If Ali can be trained under him, he will definitely be a key piece in the midfield.

Klopp has even thought about the future midfield configuration, Henderson, Can, Ali form the iron triangle in the midfield, Zhang Yuan, Coutinho, Sterling in the frontcourt.

The midfielder wins the world. Among Klopp's teams, the midfielder does not need to have a strong scoring ability, but there is one must have, that is, to be able to return to his own half in defense, and to be able to give when attacking. To provide the necessary support in the frontcourt, he must also be able to go up. The running ability needs to be very strong. Of course, his tactics basically have the set of high-position pressing. It is necessary for all players to be able to go up and down.

Now Ali’s situation is a bit wrong. Klopp also called Ali personally, explained Liverpool to him, said his expectations for his future and guaranteed playing time, but now Ali is more tempted by Tottenham Pochettino. .

Tottenham have a very good reputation among young people in recent years. Professor Wenger has almost become a thing of the past. They are very good at cultivating half-finished young people and are always willing to give young people opportunities, so they are very attractive to young players. big.

And their conditions are better than Liverpool's. It's not about the money. Tottenham's offer is 500 million pounds, while Liverpool's is 650 million pounds, but Milton Keynes still wants Alli to go to Tottenham, because Tottenham promised It can be said that Dele Ali rented them back for half a season. Milton Keynes is currently ranked fourth in the League One and is expected to reach the British Championship. Of course, they hope that the core players of the team can stay for half a season longer.

But Liverpool can't do it. Klopp will not rent back to Milton Keynes. He hopes that Dele Alli will report to Liverpool in the winter.

In addition, what Pochettino promised Ali was to give Ali the main position in the future, while Klopp only promised that he would give Ali plenty of playing time to help him grow. These two clubs are actually leading the battle for Ali. The reason is actually very simple. Tottenham have a tradition of cultivating young people. Although Liverpool was the runner-up of the Premier League last year, in fact, they performed poorly this season, internal turmoil, and facing reshuffle and reconstruction. Far away, with Klopp taking office, other positions may look different. Therefore, Dele Alli can fully expect to get enough room for growth in these two clubs.

On the other hand, like other teams in the Premier League, Chelsea has attached great importance to youth training many years ago, and their production is relatively high, but this season they are basically rented out. Mourinho does not have the patience to train young people. The frontcourt was overcrowded, Arsenal looked hopeless, Professor Wenger was not as amazing as he said, and the growth of Walcott and others did not meet the original expectations.

Dele Ali's agent will not be so stupid, of course he knows the best place to go. Of course, it seems that Pochettino seems to pay more attention to Ali at present.

Klopp’s boredom comes from this. Dele Ali is not Zhang Yuan. He has no reason to promise him the main position. The idea is an idea. Whether Dele Ali can reach the height expected by Klopp is when the idea comes true. , if not, then say hello.

When he privately learned that Alli's thoughts were inclined to Tottenham, Klopp still wanted to take the food, hoping that Zhang Yuan Gerrard could come forward to lobby.

Klopp even invited Dele Alli to visit Melwood, Liverpool. Ali would not refuse such an offer. However, there was one thing that disappointed Ali. He admired Gerrard when he was a child, and he had promised to see him. Gerrard's, but because there was a game the next day, Gerrard completely forgot the task of meeting Ali and took a nap!

Although Ali didn't say anything, he was undoubtedly disappointed in his heart. It goes without saying that his idol is just like him.

It's not easy for Klopp to accuse Gerrard of anything. Gerrard also thought of this incident afterwards, but he didn't say anything. Maybe it was a trivial matter in his opinion.

Time is getting tighter and tighter, so Klopp is asking Zhang Yuan for help!
"Boss, you know, I don't know this little guy at all! What should I say?!" Zhang Yuan said hesitantly.

"I don't know him either, I've seen his videos and know what a great lad he is! To be honest Steve doesn't give a damn about Dele's feelings, now I hope you can inspire confidence in his future at Liverpool! You have to Do it!" Klopp boldly became tough.

Aren't you rushing ducks to the shelves? !Zhang Yuan sneered wryly.

Holding Dele Ali's phone in his hand, Zhang Yuan sat on the bed and didn't make this call for a long time. What did he say? !
"Huh, what are you doing?!" Gao Jun came back and looked at Zhang Yuan sitting on the bed stupidly, "Haha, today is your wife and aunt!"

He knew Zhang Yuan very well, and the two of them also partnered to open a football academy in China, so sometimes they didn't shy away from anything.

"Go, your wife is your aunt!" Zhang Yuan scolded angrily, "Klopp asked me to be a lobbyist to persuade a little guy from England to join the team!"

"Hey, who is so awesome and needs you to come forward?!" Gao Jun kicked off his leather shoes, well, this guy is dressed like a dog when he goes out.

"Dele Ali!"

"I've never heard of it!" Gao Jun looked blank.

"I know you haven't heard of it, haha, in fact, I haven't heard of it either, it's just good to hear what Klopp said today!" Zhang Yuan laughed!
"Hey, I'm thinking about how to speak now, I'm not a psychologist!" Zhang Yuan said depressingly.

"It's not easy! If you have Qian Huan as the backstage, you don't have to worry about money at all. With you Zhang Yuan on the team, you are not afraid of not having a championship! Speaking of those years, brother, I also won a Bundesliga championship with you. This is my life. The most proud thing!" Gao Jun said carelessly.

"It makes sense, playing football is just for honor and money!" Zhang Yuan agreed, "Okay, just try this way, maybe the more I talk, the more open my mind will be!"

Zhang Yuan didn't shy away from Gao Jun, and directly called Dele Ali's home in front of Gao Jun. The person who answered the phone was Dele Ali's mother, to be more precise, his adoptive mother.

Dele Ali's family is quite special. His biological father is Nigerian and his biological mother is British. But the two divorced not long after he was born. As for his biological mother, the economic conditions are relatively poor, and she has experienced more than one marriage. Ali was not the only child he brought, and the family environment was not very good. In the end, Ali was fostered at the home of Harry Hickford, Ali’s former teammate, and became a member of Hickford’s family. The stage of Ali’s real growth is From the age of 13 to the present stage.

So Ali actually spent most of his time at his adoptive parents' home, and it is the same now.
