"We want to try Real Madrid's Jovic, but his salary is a big problem."

Edwards said truthfully, "In addition, Arsenal's Saka is also one of our goals. He is very talented and has Chinese nationality."

"It's just that Arsenal won't let people go easily."

Zhang Da nodded and asked, "Where's Bowen from West Ham? What do you think of him?"

"Bowen is very good, but unfortunately he can only play on the right side." Klopp said, "It's just that no one can replace Salah at the right winger position."

"Mr. Chairman, you also know that Salah's attendance rate is terribly high. In addition, there are players in the team who can play as right wingers such as Shaqiri and Nanye. I don't think it is necessary to reinforce the right wing. "

"Okay, I understand." Zhang Da nodded and said, "I probably understand the goal of the transfer. As long as it is within the budget, you can play to your heart's content."

"Now, I also want to talk to you about the team change."

"Mr. Chairman, actually, I also want to talk to you about this matter." Harrison said, "Currently, the average age of the team's main players is close to 28 years old."

"Especially in midfield, Henderson and Wijnaldum are over 30 years old. I think we need to gradually replace players."

"Our current transfer thinking is actually formulated based on the policy of player replacement." Edwards said, "After the introduction of Thiago last season, we will not introduce players around the age of 30 in a short time."

"Okay, I hope that the veterans in the team can play the role of leading the new." Zhang Da said, "How is the team's youth training? Are there any good seedlings?"

"Mr. Chairman, our youth training camp has signed many young players this year," said Thorpe, the director of youth training. "Talented young players such as Elliott have also been loaned to the Championship club for training."

"Mr. Chairman, I am going to let Elliott join the first team next season." Klopp added, "You may have seen him play, he is an extremely talented player!"

"I know, he has scored 5 goals in Blackburn this season!" Zhang Da said, "But, isn't he a right winger? With Salah here, does the lad have a chance to practice?"

"Mr. Chairman, I am going to transform him into a midfielder." Klopp smiled. "He has impact, speed, and passing vision. He is very suitable for playing as a central midfielder."

"Okay, I'm looking forward to his talent being fulfilled." Zhang Da laughed. "Finally, let's talk about cleaning up redundant players in the team."

Edwards pondered: "Redundant... Mr. Chairman, what do you mean?"

"Since the number of registered overseas players has to be reduced to 13, some players who can't play and can't be sold may as well terminate their contracts."

What Zhang Da was referring to was naturally the man who made a super super huge mistake in the Champions League final.

Karius.

Chapter 292 Rejection

The first day after the end of home isolation happened to be Sunday.

Zhang Da took Cheng Mingming home to have a meal with his parents, and then drove her to Xinjiekou.

After staying at home for a week, the two planned to go out for a walk.

Sitting in the co-pilot, Cheng Mingming seemed a little uncomfortable: "Poison's return rate is really high, it feels like everyone on the street is looking at us."

Zhang Da smiled casually: "It's good to get used to it, besides, you are still wearing a mask."

"Having said that..." Cheng Mingming rubbed his head, "I get used to it."

After parking the car in the underground parking lot of Kidd Plaza, Zhang Da led Cheng Mingming to the familiar Hermes store.

"Mr. Zhang, welcome!"

Even though Zhang Da was wearing a mask, the cabinet sister still easily recognized this big customer.

Zhang Da said: "Hi, I'll bring my girlfriend over to buy some clothes. If you have new jewelry and bags, show them to me."

"Okay, Mr. Zhang." The cabinet sister smiled at the two, "Hello miss, welcome to Hermes! May I help you?"

Cheng Mingming smiled and nodded at the cabinet sister: "Thank you, I want to see the new spring and summer."

"Ah, what a coincidence! You came at the right time. A batch of new models just arrived in the store two days ago! Please follow me."

The cabinet sister bowed with a smile, and then led Cheng Mingming into the shop.

Another cabinet lady also came forward and led Zhang Da into the store.

"Mr. Zhang, hello!" The store manager Yang who got the news also came to the front desk from the office, "What do you want to see today?"

Zhang Da smiled and said, "I don't have anything to buy, I'm here with my girlfriend today."

Store Manager Yang remained enthusiastic: "Would you like to sit down for a while, would you like tea or coffee?"

"Boiled water, thank you."

Not long after sitting down, Zhang Da's cell phone rang.

The caller is Joe Glazer.

Needless to say, he must have come to ask about the UEFA Super League again.

Zhang Da frowned slightly, raised his head and said to Manager Yang: "Manager, can you provide me with a quieter place?"

"No problem, Mr. Zhang, we have a cubicle here." Store Manager Yang said with a smile, "Please come in, no one will disturb you."

"Thank you."

After thanking store manager Yang, Zhang Da pressed the answer button:

"Hello, Mr. Glazer, please wait a moment, I want to find a quiet place."

Joe said, "Mr. Zhang, I'll be here anytime."

After entering the cubicle under the guidance of store manager Yang, Zhang Da put on the Bluetooth headset.

"Mr. Glazer, are you still there?"

"Of course, I've always been."

"Thank you for waiting." Zhang Da said, "You must have something very important to call late at night, right?"

"That's right, Mr. Zhang." Qiao said with a smile, "Although I don't want to rush you, it's time to make a decision."

"I hope to get a clear answer, you and the Liverpool team, do you want to join our reform?"

"Sorry, Mr Glazer, I think the idea of ​​a UEFA Premier League is too early."

Zhang Da left room to say, "If conditions permit in the future, I would still be very happy to see Liverpool join the UEFA Super League."

"Is that what you think? What a pity."

Joe was stunned for a while before he said in disbelief, "Mr. Zhang, is it rare that you haven't realized that joining the UEFA Super League is beneficial to Liverpool and has no disadvantages?"

Zhang Da pondered: "I don't think our clubs alone are enough to shake UEFA."

"You are too cautious." Joe persuaded again, "To be honest, many wealthy clubs have already made the decision to join the UEFA Super League."

"In the Premier League BIG6, except you and the owner of Tottenham have not yet made a decision, the other three teams have joined us. At the same time, the top three in La Liga have also agreed to join the UEFA Super League."

"You should know how shrewd Mr. Florentino, the chairman of Real Madrid, is. Now even he is optimistic about the UEFA Super League. What worries do you have?"

"Besides, as long as the UEFA Super League starts, you can get at least 5 million euros in bonuses! Think about it, 5 million! In this environment, how long will it take your team to earn 5 million in profits?"

Zhang Da asked back: "Mr. Glazer, have you consulted the fans, players and coaches about their thoughts?"

"For the purpose of confidentiality, not yet." Glazer asked puzzled, "But why should we ask their opinions? Or, why should they object to the UEFA Super League?"

"As long as there is a UEFA Super League, players and coaches can get higher salaries and exposure, and fans can enjoy more exciting matchups. Why should they object?"

"Mr. Zhang, it's too late to regret it now, join us! We are confident that the UEFA Super League will be a grand event that will not lose to the Super Bowl!"

Zhang Da still refused: "Mr. Glazer, thank you for your invitation...but I'm sorry."

"Well, Mr. Zhang, I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future." Qiao took a deep breath, "In addition, please continue to abide by the confidentiality agreement."

"No problem, we will not do anything that would break our promise." Zhang Da said, "Goodbye, Mr. Glazer, thank you for calling late at night."

"Goodbye, Mr. Zhang."

After finishing the call, Zhang Da did not rush out of the cubicle.

He sent an e-mail each to Edwards and Harrison, relaying his refusal of Joe Glazer's invitation.

In fact, not joining the UEFA Super League is also the result of many discussions among Liverpool's top management.

Unlike Citigroup, which is sparsely populated, people living in Europe obviously pay more attention to domestic "community".

Unlike knockout matches like the UEFA Champions League, transnational leagues like the UEFA Super League are difficult to accept.

What's more, UEFA, which has been passive in its money bag, will definitely fight desperately with the UEFA Super League.

Although 5 million euros is tempting, it also needs to be "deserved flowers"!

...

Citigroup, in the offices of the Glazer brothers, Joe shook his head at his brother.

"He refused?" Afram said unexpectedly, "What's the reason?"

"He thinks we're not UEFA's opponents," Joe said dissatisfied. "God, this guy is too cautious."

"Then start a backup plan and invite another Serie A team to join the UEFA Super League," Afram said. "As for the timid Zhang, he will regret it."

"Yes, as long as the UEFA Super League starts, we will have a steady stream of income." Joe said confidently, "The Super Bowl and the NBA have both proved the feasibility of this high-level league. Afram, we It will go down in football history!"

"Yes, as the initiator of the UEFA Super League, this is the treatment we deserve."

Afram laughed, "Find Liverpool to replace Liverpool as soon as possible. I can't wait to end UEFA's monopoly!"

Chapter 293 The first day of returning to work

When Zhang Da walked out of the cubicle, Cheng Mingming had already fallen into the difficulty of choosing.

"Zhang Da, look at these three clothes, which one looks better?"

"And these two bags, which one do you think is better?"

Zhang Da looked at them twice, and said, "I think they're all good, I'll just buy them all."

"Eh?"

"Hey, what, you didn't bring any luggage. If you stay for a long time, you must not have enough clothes, right?"

Zhang Da laughed, "Besides, the house is so empty, I have to buy something to fill it up."

Cheng Mingming stepped forward and whispered in his ear, "But, didn't you say you were going bankrupt?"

Zhang Da said softly: "Yes, just now someone offered me 5 million euros, but I had no choice but to refuse, which is uncomfortable."

Cheng Mingming rolled his eyes, turned to the cabinet sister and said, "Hello, let's buy the two trench coats I tried on earlier."

The cabinet sister smiled all over her face: "Okay, Miss Cheng!"

After paying 91 yuan by card and asking store manager Yang to deliver the goods to his new home, Zhang Da left the Hermès store with his girlfriend.

Strolling in the mall, Zhang Da asked casually, "What do you want to see next?"

Cheng Mingming looked around and said, "Go to Prada and Burberry. I want to buy something for my uncle and aunt."

"Okay..." Zhang Da nodded, then turned his head and asked, "Although, but, aren't you going to buy me something?"

Cheng Mingming joked: "You don't even think about 5 million euros, little girl, I really don't know what to buy to get into your eyes, Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Da said with a smirk: "It's okay, I like everything you bought."

As long as he is wearing the N95, he will not feel embarrassed.

Cheng Mingming pretended to be disgusted and said, "Hey, why are you getting oily?"

Zhang Da squinted and said, "Why do I get oily, you still don't know?"

Cheng Mingming paused, and decided to activate the mutual harm mode.

She suddenly grabbed Zhang Da's arm, and said softly, "I just don't know."

Zhang Da: "..."

After a long silence, he spoke again: "Be honest at work tomorrow."

Early the next morning, Zhou Geng drove the two to Mingda Group.

Zhang Da took Cheng Mingming to the top floor by elevator, and finally walked into the office.

As soon as the two sat down, Tang Haitao knocked on the office door.
