Reborn Liverpool

Chapter 189 Salah and Robertson

The 8th round of the Liverpool League against Manchester United was played on Tuesday. October 10 is the weekend, and the Red Army will also usher in the 23th round of the league-against West Brom at home.

5 consecutive victories and first place in the league made the atmosphere of the club extraordinarily warm. The first-team players were all happy, and the training became less boring and tiring.

Of course, except for the Brazilian Coutinho, he is still in a cold war with the club and has not bowed to Klopp.

After Friday's pre-match training, Zhang Mai was called to the office by Klopp, and unexpectedly met Walsh.

Liverpool, who were not short of money, and the ambitious Klopp, have never stopped signings to strengthen the existing lineup.

Old Walsh, as the most famous god of "Taobao" in the Premier League, naturally became a guest of Klopp and Liverpool.

When Uncle Zha was talking with Old Walsh, Zhang Mai flipped through the player information brought by Walsh, and was quickly attracted by the two names.

Andrew Robertson and Mohamed Salah, the sharp striker and left wing of the Red Army's heyday in memory.

Zhang Mai met Robertson in the sixth round of the league and was impressed by the 6-year-old Scottish left back.

Excellent offensive and defensive skills, good breakthrough and shooting skills, has a precise pass, fierce and strong, even dare to attack Zhang Mai, who is famous for his fierceness.

how to say?It can be said that he is a Vardy-type player on the left wing. He is very proactive on the court and can run and press the whole court without hesitation.

And because he is a Scottish player, his fierceness comparable to that of a polar bear is better than Vardy.

Um!This is a young player who particularly meets Klopp's tactical requirements. Besides, Klein's current performance is mediocre. I guess Uncle Zha has already been tempted.

"Zhang Mai, what do you think of the Scottish left back from Hull City?"

It just so happened that Klopp had finished talking with the elder Walsh, and he came back to ask Zhang Mai for his opinion.

"You are the coach, and you are most aware of the team's reinforcement requirements, but I think this kid can improve the bloodliness of the Red Army on the field. My suggestion is to do whatever it takes, sooner rather than later!"

Zhang Mai expressed his opinion without hesitation:

"And I think the next player is even more important."

Zhang Mai handed over Salah's information again.

Mohamed Salah, 24 years old this year, is an Egyptian striker with fast speed, good technique, and strong breakthrough ability. He has the ability to change direction and get rid of in a small space like Messi.

Joining Chelsea in January 2014, Salah didn't have many opportunities to play in the car. Most of the time he sat on the bench. Throughout his Chelsea career, he only played 1 times in various competitions and scored 19 goals.

On February 2015, 2, Salah, who was unable to play at Chelsea, was loaned to Serie A Fiorentina by Chelsea as a transfer addition to Juan Cuadrado.

2015年8月7日，意甲罗马从切尔西租借萨拉赫，2015-16赛季，萨拉赫代表罗马出场42次打进15球。

In the summer of 2016, Roma bought Salah from Chelsea for 1500 million euros.

"Salah is very suitable for your tactical requirements. It can perfectly fit Liverpool's striker. If you want to win all the championships of the season, Salah is indispensable!"

Zhang Mai, who understood Uncle Zha's wild ambitions, also deliberately emphasized his tone.

"But why did Wooden Bird, who was still in Chelsea at the time, look down on the Egyptians?"

历史上渣叔是被萨拉赫2016-17赛季在罗马出场41次、19球和15次助攻的战绩打动的，此时还没有把眼光放到在意大利打拼的埃及人身上。

"Mr. Woodbird's iron-blooded blue team can only use Drogba-style Warcraft center forward, not to mention Salah, Mane and Aguero will look down on him!"

Zhang Mai remembers very clearly that after his friend Lukaku from Everton went to Manchester United next year, he was also forced to gain weight by the wood bird, intending to transform into the second "Warcraft".

“我能保证利物浦的1-0、2-0，萨拉赫能让比分变成3-0、4-0，这是一只不知疲倦的沙漠骆驼。”

What Zhang Mai said touched Klopp's heart. The German's "full-court pressing and high-speed running" tactics need exactly this type of player who can't run to death at all costs.

Klopp has already considered in his heart how to introduce these two players as soon as possible, preferably in the winter window.

"Then please Zhang Mai, work harder and try to get a good result at the end of the season, so that I can speak to the board of directors."

Uncle Zha has fully approved Zhang Mai's opinion.

"Andrew Robertson can be brought in as soon as possible. The left side of the team can hardly be supported by Klein alone. Under your training, Arnold on the right will definitely become the best right winger in the Premier League!"

Zhang Mai simply told Klopp:
"There is no need to worry too much about Mohamed Salah. One is that there is no European competition for Liverpool this year. Mbappe, Mane, Firmino and I are enough to deal with domestic competitions in the UK; the other is that we can slowly observe Egypt. How has he performed this season in a Roma team with a Liverpool-like tactical style?"

"You're saying that Salah's performance at Roma might be..."

Klopp was a little confused by Zhang Mai's words.

"No! The Egyptian's performance in Roma this season will only be better and stronger, so that by the end of the season, Salah, with his strong confidence, will be worthy of the new Premier League title and the upcoming European competition!"

Zhang Mai firmly believes that the tempering of Serie A will only make the Egyptian pharaoh stronger, and then pointed out Klopp's worries:

"With the greed of Italian clubs, Salah's value will definitely double, but with Liverpool's financial resources and the characteristics of 'only buying the best' signings, is there a difference between doubling and tripling?"

Klopp heard the best signing plan from Zhang Mai's answer, and then discussed other new signings with Walsh.

In the end, Klopp left Zhang Mai alone, saying that he needed Zhang Mai's help.

"Zhang Mai, what do you think of No. 1 goalkeeper Karius?"

Klopp looked a little nervous and anxious.

"Karius is a good goalkeeper, he has talent, he is young but he has a lot of experience."

Zhang Mai first sent the original words of Uncle Zha's evaluation of the German compatriots, but the expression on Klopp's face did not relax.

"But he is a bit like Davies, the culprit who drove me out of Everton. Sometimes he doesn't concentrate and makes mistakes on the court."

Zhang Mai also had a bit of a headache about Karius' performance on the field, and felt that Klopp, who strongly advocated the introduction of the German goalkeeper, should be under more pressure.

"I know that my former opponent is because of his young ambitions, off-court life and personal hobbies are too rich. I don't know that Karius is..."

Zhang Mai turned around and asked Uncle Zha.

"The same is true! When Karius worked hard at Mainz, his skills improved a lot. I also took a fancy to his characteristics and brought him to Liverpool, but now this kid is swollen. I only remember fighting for positions, hanging out with models and Internet celebrities off the court, and throwing myself into modern rock! To be honest, I am now a little worried about whether he can take on the important task of guarding the gate of Liverpool."

Klopp began a bitter complaint.

"Then what can I do for you?"

Zhang Mai couldn't understand what Uncle Zha was thinking. Isn't it your head coach's job to spur your compatriots?
"You young people have something in common. Isn't this asking you to beat this kid in terms of making friends and music? Anyway, you crush this kid in other aspects except height, and he doesn't dare to stab you!"

All right!Uncle Zha said such a troublesome thing, and it seemed to be a compliment to Zhang Mai.

"I'll try my best!"

As soon as Zhang Mai remembered Karius' two low-level mistakes in the 17/18 UEFA Champions League final in history, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.
