Green Dragon

Chapter 594 This is Anfield

2015 6 Month 20 Day.

Since Long Shute bid farewell to football due to injury... a full year later, he re-entered the public eye.

"This oriental face feels strange to me. The last time I saw him seemed to be a long time ago."

BBC Sport presenter Gary Lineker shook his head and sighed in his own show:
"I used to think that another unborn talent became a shooting star due to injury, but unexpectedly, he returned to the green field, and... he also came to England. This is really an exciting season."

But the special guest and former Manchester United captain Gary Neville poured a little cold water:
"For his return, everyone is actually happy. No one wants to see a talent leave the stadium prematurely, but we still have a little doubt about whether he can return to the top. After all, he has suffered such a serious injury. Injuries, and the Premier League ... seems to be the most physical league in Europe, I don't know if he can adapt to the style and rhythm here in the first place."

His words made sense, but another guest, former Liverpool deputy Jamie Carragher, laughed:
"Are you afraid, Gary?"

Neville raised his eyebrows, he knew that this old opponent was going to challenge him again:

"Why should I be afraid?"

Carragher looked at him without showing any weakness:

"Because he joined...Liverpool, as a Manchester United star, aren't you afraid?"

Neville shrugged:

"This is the Premier League, he will soon see the cruelty of reality!"
-
This is the Premier League and this is Anfield.

Long Shute once again stepped into this slightly old stadium.

Perhaps it is really a reincarnation.

Ten years ago, when he came here for the first time, his clothes were still blue.

Ten years later, he walked here again under the gaze of more than 4 red fans, but he has become one of them.

Three days ago, the Chinese consortium led by him spent nearly 10 billion euros to buy the entire Liverpool club from the American owner Henry, detonating the entire England.

Drawing on Milan's experience, Long Shute did not show himself in the public eye, but elected a representative from his partners as the superficial manager. As the big boss, he stayed behind the scenes and remotely commanded, and waited for the right time to come back. Make an announcement.

Three days later, when people were still discussing the background of this mysterious consortium, he signed a contract with the club with a high profile, ending a year without a ball to play.

"Welcome to Anfield!"

Head coach Brendan Rodgers smiled and gave him a hug before handing him a red jersey.

Of course he still remembers this young player he once coached, and that is also the top star he has cultivated in his coaching career!

"Thank you, boss."

Long Shute unfolded his jersey against the wind, and it was the number 8 he wore most often!
The former No. 8 player has left, leaving only a dazzling figure full of sighs.

Watching Long Shute put the jersey on himself, the stands at Anfield were a little silent.

Those diehard fans couldn't forget their captain so quickly. They looked at Long Shute with anticipation, but it was extremely complicated.

"A month ago, I celebrated my 25th birthday. From that day on, at least I am no longer a teenager."

Long Shute took the microphone from the staff and said to more than 4 fans who came to welcome him:
"Since the youth training period, I have been wandering around. In China alone, I changed two youth training schools, and then I was lucky to come to Liverpool, but it is a pity that when I was 15 years old, I participated It's the Everton trial."

"I was at Everton for three months and Mr David Moyes refused to keep me, even if I scored the winner in the last exhibition game, he didn't even look at me.

Mr. Rodgers gave me a chance to train at Chelsea, so I am especially grateful to him, but the good times didn't last long, and the great Mr. Mourinho fired me again. I can only go to the Netherlands to find a future.

Ajax, Bayern Munich, and AC Milan... I have won countless honors, and I have also created countless miracles and records. I even led the declining AC Milan to complete the treble.

I thought I had conquered all the difficulties, but this injury has completely woken me up.

There are more tasks worthy of me to complete, and higher dangerous peaks for me to conquer!

So, here I am, I'm here at Anfield! "

He raised his right hand slightly:

"I see doubts and expectations on your faces, and I understand your feelings, after all, I haven't played a game for a long time.

Now, you can put away the applause and cheers a little bit, and wait until May when the season ends, I will hear these voices! "
-
"It's a pity that I can't introduce you to your teammates in the first place."

After the fan meeting, Rogers said to Long Shute with a smile.

Long Shu shrugged:

"You still think about the summer transfer market."

A slightly embarrassed look appeared on Rogers' face:

"The matter of the transfer... was done by the committee before, and I actually didn't know it..."

Long Shute glanced at him:
"Now you are the manager, you have the final say."
-
As the acquisition had just been completed, many of the club's management had been taken away by Henry, and the agent selected by Long Special was not professional in the transfer market, so they simply let Rogers take full responsibility for the transfer, but when the final decision was made, To be reviewed.

However, Rogers did not show the efficiency of vigorous and resolute after he monopolized the power, but was a little hesitant.

Maybe he can't be blamed for this, after all, he still doesn't understand the style of the new boss, and he doesn't know how much budget he can get.

On June 6, Long Shute finalized at the internal board of directors that the upper limit of transfer funds this summer was 21 million pounds, and asked to clean up some old, weak, sick and disabled.

Rogers came to the transfer market excitedly, but he was dumbfounded.

When all the clubs heard that Liverpool wanted to buy someone, they immediately raised their prices by 50%!

The problems they are facing are exactly the same as those of Chelsea and Manchester City back then!
6000 million pounds, plus the 4900 million earned from selling Sterling, can only buy two or three first-team players...

3000万从德甲霍芬海姆买来他们的当家核心菲尔米诺，3250万从英超阿斯顿维拉买来比利时锋霸本特克、1300万从南安普顿挖来边后卫克莱因、500万引入伯恩利锋线小将因斯、自由签约前曼城中场米尔纳、这就已经花掉了接近8000万。

Later, Long Shute suggested that Rogers deal with the unaccustomed Borini and Malkovich, the old Kolo Toure and Lambert, and the seriously under-aggressive full-back Glenn Johnson in exchange for 2800 million yuan. .

After calculating the income and expenses, they were surprised to find that... the club has even made a profit of hundreds of thousands!
This is not possible. Long Shute, who was honeymooning with Emma in North America, immediately called and provided Rogers with a list of defenders: Bayern's Dante, Badstuber, Atletico Madrid's Alderweire Alder, AC Milan's Zapata, Constant, and Abate are all his former teammates...

But Rodgers started too slowly, and when Liverpool approached the assembly, he only managed one.

Because technology is not in the eyes of Guardiola, Bad Stuber, who has lost his position in Bayern, came to the Premier League at a price of 1500 million euros. For Bad Stuber who is healthy, this price is already very conscientious.

Rogers looked at the balance in his hand, and proposed to use 5000 million pounds to acquire Balotelli, the thigh of AC Milan, but was rejected by Long Shute without saying a word...

Are you kidding me?
I really don't feel bad at all!
-
Looking at the Liverpool lineup in his hand, Long Shute thought that was it.

Goalkeepers: 22 Mignolet, 34 Bogdan.

后卫：2克莱因、3、弗拉纳甘、4巴德、6洛夫伦、12戈麦斯、17萨科、18莫雷诺、37斯科特尔；

中场：7米尔纳、8龙殊特、10库蒂尼奥、11菲尔米诺、14亨德森（队长）、20拉拉纳、21卢卡斯、23詹、24乔阿伦；
前锋：9本特克、15斯图里奇、27奥里吉、28因斯、33伊比。

He suddenly felt that this lineup was... stronger than AC Milan at that time!
