Revive Liverpool

Chapter 11 Interview with Li Nan
At noon on September 9, Li Nan arrived in Liverpool, had a meal outside, returned to the club, and began to deal with the work that had accumulated for two days. The team staff told Li Nan that Pochettino had already signed the contract, but he said that because the Spanish club needed time to go through the formalities and search for the head coach of the team after he left, he could not release it now, but it was expected that Pochettino would come to Liverpool to coach in October.

Li Nan felt that the development of things was similar to what he expected. When Hodgson completed the opportunity he wanted, it was almost time for Pochettino to take the stage.

The staff also asked Li Nan if the BBC planned to conduct an online interview with Li Nan on the night of September 9, and whether he agreed.

Li Nan thought about it and felt that this would be a good opportunity to express his work philosophy in Liverpool, and at the same time communicate with the outside world to make the transition of the team smoother.So Li Nan agreed.

Tonight will be the third round of the League Cup, the Red Army Liverpool sits at home against Northampton.

In the original time and space, Liverpool drew [-]-[-] with Northampton in regular time. In extra time, Liverpool and Northampton each scored a goal, and the battle was [-]-[-].In the final penalty shootout, Liverpool were eliminated by Northampton [-]-[-].

Now, the team is the same as the original time and space, sending a substitute lineup to play, because Li Nan does not pay much attention to the League Cup, causing Hodgson to care less about winning or losing the game than the original time and space, so Liverpool also entered the extra time with a score of [-] to [-], but did not score in the extra time, and Liverpool lost the game [-] to [-].

Li Nan didn't say anything about the team's failure. This is a League Cup, and winning or losing is not that important.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Nan discussed with the TV station staff the questions to be asked during the connection tomorrow night. Because the connection will be made tomorrow and time is tight, Li Nan has been preparing for this matter all morning.

After lunch, Li Nan was a little leisurely, so he found the phone book, called Keira Knightley, and wanted to talk on the phone.

It's a pity that Keira Knightley, who was giving herself a vacation, didn't want to talk to Li Nan on the phone, so she hung up the phone after chatting for a while, which made Li Nan feel a little regretful.Love is not going well, and work doesn't want to continue. Li Nan thinks it's better to play games.

In a blink of an eye, it was time for Li Nan to accept the interview. The connection was connected, and the host said to Li Nan: "Hello, Mr. Li Nan." "Hello, host." Li Nan replied.

The host asked: "We have always known that you are dissatisfied with the team's head coach Hodgson, but until now Hodgson is still sitting in the position of Liverpool's coach. May I ask why?"

"The team has just changed his boss, and it's already a bit turbulent. It needs some time to wait, to wait for a suitable opportunity. At the same time, I chose to give Hodgson a chance during the waiting process. He said in an interview, 'I have the ability to be the Liverpool coach, but I don't have enough time. I hope there will be more time,' so I also decided to give him some time." Li Nan replied.

The host then asked: "Then how many chances did you give him?"

"Three league games, and he lost the first game against Manchester United. If he can't win all the next two games, he will be dismissed, and I'm already looking for a new head coach of the team. As for who it will be, it is not convenient to disclose."

When the host heard what Li Nan said, he changed his mind and asked: "If the team's performance is still not satisfactory after the team changes coaches, will you change the coach again?"

Li Nan replied: "No, for Hodgson, he started coaching before the start of the league, and it is almost six rounds now."

"As for the new head coach, if the team's performance does not improve, I will fire him by then. But as long as the team's performance is good, I will give him another season, and the next season will be the season to decide whether he will stay or not."

"I don't want my arrival. The decision I made will bring a sense of turmoil to the team. I promise to the team's players that the team will retain all outstanding players and will not decide the player's stay because of my personal likes and dislikes. I hope that all players can work hard to fight for it. But in the future, the team will be stable over everything else!"

After the head coach asked the question, the host changed the subject and said: "You are the second Chinese owner of the Premier League. Yang Jiacheng, the first Chinese owner of the Premier League, expressed in an exclusive interview with us that he hoped that the Chinese owners who came to invest would "don't waste money"! He said: "Spending money indiscriminately will not make the Premier League team run well. "What do you think of it?"

Li Nan replied: "I think Yang Jiacheng is the owner of the Birmingham team, what he said is correct."

"As a team fighting for relegation in the league, you really don't want to spend money randomly, but Liverpool is different. Liverpool is a championship team. Even though it has been away from England's top league championship for a long time, our heart to win the championship has not been extinguished, so we have to invest, but it is not a waste of money."

The host asked again: "Then you commented on the two previous owners of Liverpool as businessmen, while you are a Liverpool fan. You both said that you want to reproduce the glory of Shankly's era. So what do you think is the difference between your treatment of Liverpool?"

Li Nan said with a smile: "As for me, I don't speculate in the short term, and I won't "borrow the east wall to make up for the west wall" like the previous two American bosses. I bought Liverpool to realize my wish, so I will focus on the development of Liverpool. Maybe after I get [-] million dollars from me, I will no longer belong to me. I will dedicate my life to Liverpool."

Li Nan paused and continued: "I also plan to meet with representatives of the Red Army fans next Monday (October 10)."

"Although the specific time has not been determined yet, and we have not discussed with the fan representatives, we have this plan and we are preparing for it. Maybe you can go to the scene to interview at that time."

"I hope that at this meeting, as the chairman and owner of the team, I will listen to and repair the crisis of trust between the club and the fans caused by the previous American owner."

"In addition, although I don't have much money left after investing in the club, I am different from the previous two American owners. I have fully repaid the club's bank debts to show my sincerity to all Liverpool people."

……

Although the online interview was not long, Li Nan had already expressed what he wanted to express.

I hope that I can be recognized by Liverpool fans and provide a good environment for the team's future development.

Li Nan called Keira Knightley and asked her if she had watched her interview. Keira Knightley replied: "Well, you are doing well." The two chatted again.
