Revive Liverpool

Chapter 28 Talking with Torres
Li Nan returned to Liverpool, and Keira Knightley also returned to Liverpool with him.

It's almost December, and Liverpool flew directly to Romania after the game in London to face Steaua Bucharest on the road.

In this game, Sterling, Ngog, Martin Kelly, Flanagan and other young players all got the chance to play, but the team's main players Torres, Carragher and others did not go out with the team, got a rest and stayed in Liverpool.

And Li Nan also stayed in Liverpool, wanting to take advantage of the current opportunity to communicate with Torres.

On the morning of December 12, Li Nan had a conversation with Torres in the team's office. Li Nan said to Torres: "Today I want to have a heart-to-heart talk with you. What we will say next will be treated as if you haven't said it after you leave this door. So don't worry about it. I hope we can have a real communication."

"I want to ask you, do you have any plans in this winter transfer period? Or do you plan to leave Liverpool?"

Torres thought about it, saw Li Nan's sincere eyes, and didn't want to hide anything, so he decided to tell Li Nan honestly, "If the team doesn't spend a lot of money on signings during the winter transfer, then I plan to transfer and leave the team during this winter transfer period."

"As for the current state of the team, it doesn't look very good to me."

"Although the team's performance has improved a little after changing the team's head coach, I think that with the current results, Liverpool is still not enough to win the championship. I hope to reach a team that can win the championship. I think you can understand."

Li Nan nodded.

Torres went on to say: "In addition, I am not very optimistic about your performance as the chairman of the team. I don't think you are a person who can lead the team to revival."

When Li Nan heard Torres say this about himself, he wanted to ask what shortcomings he had?
Torres went on to say: "I am not a manager of the team, and I don't know how the team should be managed."

"First of all, you have no experience in management. You were just an ordinary person who won a $[-] million jackpot. Of course, this is not the most important thing."

"The most important thing is that I think you have some problems in the management of the team during this period. First of all, you seem to be a little too anxious."

"For example, the team's youth training work. Although Liverpool's recent youth training work has not produced as many talents as before, there are obviously some problems."

"But in my opinion, the changes you made to the youth training are a bit too hasty. The structure of the team's youth training and the coaching staff have all changed at once. I doubt whether the team's youth training can adapt to such a big change all at once, whether it can continue, and whether there will be a generational problem."

"Secondly, I think you also have problems with the management of the first team."

"In terms of your management of the first team, I think it is good that you have intervened too much in specific affairs. After selecting the head coach, you will hand over all team affairs to him. There are no laymen to direct the experts."

"But did you really make the best choice in the selection of the head coach? I'm not going to question the current team head coach. His current team leadership performance is not bad, but isn't there a better choice?"

Li Nan heard Torres say this, and replied: "I know you may have some doubts about the head coach I chose, and I think his coaching qualifications are not strong. I didn't explain anything to everyone about this. I am glad that his coaching performance is good. You are also very cooperative. You did not express dissatisfaction with this in the team training game, so the media did not question my decision."

"But now that you've asked me about it, I'll explain it to you."

"First of all, it is my decision that Pochettino is now coaching the team, and the reason why I chose him as the head coach is because I saw some things I wanted in his previous coaching career, such as daring to use new players, etc. In short, I chose him after careful consideration, and I have also watched his games."

"The second point is that he will not stay in the team's head coach position forever. In the future, either he will request to resign, or the team will not renew his contract after his term ends. In short, he is only a temporary firefighting head coach, but it may take a little longer."

"As for the decision I made in the team, I will use the youth training you mentioned to explain, in my opinion, although the problem may not be particularly serious.

But I think the team's youth training structure has fallen behind compared with other teams' youth training, and most of the team's youth training coaches were replaced during the Benitez period, and it was from that time that the team's youth training talents began to be in short supply.

Obviously, the coach of the team now has some problems, so it is understandable to make a replacement. It's just that the two changes are carried out together, which seems a bit hasty, but there is nothing wrong with it. "

"About the issue of winter signings, I can't guarantee you that the team will definitely have big-name signings, but I can guarantee that the team will invest a lot of money in signings, probably around 4000 million euros."

"But I know that if I say the next paragraph, you may express dissatisfaction with the team's signings, but since we are talking heart-to-heart, I don't want to lie to you."

"The 4000 million euro investment is when the transfer is successful. If the team's transfer work is not successful and the players they want cannot be brought in, Liverpool may only have very little capital investment this winter.

That's all I can promise, I don't know if that investment will keep you at Liverpool. "

When Torres first heard that the winter transfer team would invest 4000 million euros, he thought Li Nan was okay, but he shook his head when he heard what Li Nan said later.

Torres thought to himself, sure enough, he is still a bit selfish, and he doesn't want to invest all his money in Liverpool. Although he has already invested a lot of money in Liverpool, he still doesn't want to invest all his belongings.

Torres thinks it is also understandable, always leave yourself a way out, although I love Liverpool, but I can't end up leaving myself clean.

So Torres said: "Let me see again. If the team has not signed in during the winter transfer, and I get a good invitation, I may transfer and leave!"

Li Nan heard what Torres said, and thought it was okay, as long as Torres didn't have to leave, there was still hope for everything.

Li Nan said: "Okay, then you can wait for the good news from the team!"

In the evening, Liverpool faced Steaua Bucharest in an away game. The Red Army has many young players in this game. They all hope that they can have a chance to play in the team, so they are working tirelessly.

As a result, Ngog gave the team a one-to-zero lead in 19 minutes, and the score remained until the end of the first half.

However, in the 61st minute of the game, Steaua Bucharest equalized the score and kept the score until the end of the game.

In the end, Liverpool, who did not have all the main players to play, scored a one-to-one draw in the away game and scored one point.
