The transfer fee is still a big deal.

After confirming Podolski's transfer, Li Shiguang opened the system and started to calculate the account.

Now the funds in Leeds United's account have reached 17 million euros.

First of all, in terms of income, according to normal development, there should be about 3 million euros of income this month, and then there is Chiellini's 10 million euros transfer fee.

Then in terms of the expenditure of introducing players, Rivaldo's transfer fee was finally negotiated to 4 million euros, plus Podolski and Alonso's, a total of 15 million euros.

In this way, by the end of December, Li Shiguang had 15 million euros of liquid funds.

In Li Shiguang's consideration, the team's only right winger is Ribery and Deisler, but Deisler is about to leave the team.

Although Milner can play as a guest, it is necessary to introduce another right winger for rotation, preferably one who can play as a right winger, because once Alonso is confirmed to join, Li Shiguang wants to change the team's style of play in the second half of the season and try more 4-3-3 formations.

But since there is no very clear goal now, Li Shiguang temporarily put aside his thoughts and seriously prepared for the game against Liverpool.

At Melwood Base, Benítez, who had just finished training, walked towards Moore's office in a righteous manner.

Benítez has been in a bad mood in recent days, especially when he saw Alonso pass a beautiful through pass during the confrontation training, and then Morientes shot a cannon after receiving the ball, his mood became even worse.

In the last round, Liverpool beat Manchester City by 1 goal away from home, which was a happy thing, but a small victory could not cover up the difficulties the team is facing now. After the game, Liverpool's weak forward situation in recent months was caught by some media for criticism, saying that even against a mid-stream team like Manchester City, they could only score one goal, and if they did not strengthen in the winter, they would probably get nothing this season. These news had already made Benítez upset.

But as soon as he arrived at the Melwood training base on Tuesday, the boss Moores called him to the office and told him that he planned to use Alonso to exchange for Deisler of Leeds United. This made Benítez, who always regarded Alonso as the cornerstone of his team building, very uncomfortable. After thinking about it for a few days, he couldn't help it after the training today and decided to communicate with Moores again.

He couldn't figure it out, why must he change? Can't he just buy it with money? Leeds United is a small club, isn't it short of money now?

After knocking on the office door, seeing that Morse had nothing to do, Benítez didn't hesitate and went straight to the point: "David, I don't agree to exchange Alonso for Deisler. Deisler is very good, and I have been paying attention to his performance. Uh... I mean, why don't we just buy him? I don't think it would cost too much to buy him directly, right?"

After listening to Benítez's words, Morse shook his head and replied: "Rafael, do you think I haven't thought about it? I first proposed to buy him, but Li Shiguang disagreed. He only accepted the transaction in the form of Alonso in exchange."

"But... Alonso, I have always cultivated him as the core of Liverpool. With him..."

"No buts." Benítez was interrupted by Morse before he finished speaking, and he picked up the newspaper at hand and threw it in front of Benítez. "Rafael, Liverpool has only one core, that is Steven. You know very well that what we need now is an attacker who can organize and score goals in the frontcourt. Look at these newspapers. Even if we win the game, we are still being criticized, aren't we?"

Benitez blushed. He didn't know how to refute Moores. After a long silence, Benitez could only nod helplessly and leave Moores' office.

Time quickly came to Sunday. Yesterday, the entire Leeds United team had already arrived in Liverpool. Unlike the last game, almost all the media were more optimistic about Leeds United's ability to take away a victory in the away game before the game.

In the last round, they tied with Arsenal. After the game, Li Shiguang found that the entire Leeds United team triggered this temporary event of high morale when checking the system. Now all the players' data have a 5-point bonus, so Li Shiguang also believes that they can win this game today.

At this time in the locker room, he was telling the players: "During this period of time,

Everyone is in good shape, I see it, I believe we can take away a victory today. But I still want to remind everyone, this is Anfield after all, there are more than 40,000 fans sitting around to cheer for the opponent, Liverpool is not a weak team, so I hope you will not be disturbed by the outside voices! Play what we usually train, if we can score before the opponent, then this game will be won 80%! "

Ten minutes later, the players of both sides walked into Anfield Stadium with the passionate melody and the soul-stirring "You Will Never Walk Alone". More than 40,000 passionate fans gathered into a magnificent red ocean. They wore the Red Army jerseys, sang the team song, and the sound was like a tide, full of passion.

And on the south stand, a huge TIFO It pushed the whole scene to a climax. This carefully designed pattern seemed to announce to the world: This is the holy land of Liverpool!

Li Shiguang stood on the sidelines, deeply shocked by everything in front of him. He felt the unparalleled atmosphere on the scene, and a strong impulse surged in his heart. Looking at this magnificent and charming stadium, and then comparing it with his team's slightly shabby Elland Road Stadium, he secretly made up his mind: he must work harder to make money and achieve the goal of expanding the Elland Road Stadium as soon as possible, so that his team can also have such a shocking home advantage!

Since Leeds United will play a total of 6 games in December, the physical requirements of the players are very high, so Li Shiguang slightly adjusted the starting lineup today.

Today he arranged a 4-3-3 formation. Deisler was placed on the right winger today, and the other two forwards were on the right. The forwards are Falcao and Berbatov, Modric and Javi Garcia are double defensive midfielders, Li Shiguang sent Yaya Toure to the central midfielder position, and because Maicon was suspended for a red card, Li Shiguang arranged Chiellini to play as a guest right back on the defensive line, and Silva and Kompany were used as central defenders.

On the Liverpool side, Benítez still used the winning lineup in the last game, which made him very helpless. After winning the Champions League last season, Liverpool did not fail to recruit players, but the attackers headed by Crouch were not as good as Cisse and Morientes, so he finally agreed to Moore's plan to introduce Deisler.

Coincidentally, Deisler also started in today's game, and he could also see his performance on the spot. If he was not satisfied, he could ask Moore to consider it again........
