Chapter 15: Substitutes are more important than the main force (the third time is the monthly vote!)

Pepe's joining Liverpool has caused a sensation in world football.

Many people know that Liverpool is constantly recruiting stars to complete their great rejuvenation.

This is the best advertising.

It is very difficult to poach Pepe from Real Madrid, and Liverpool actually did it, which shows that they are determined and have some means, and in the end, their financial situation is relatively good.

In fact, Liverpool is indeed quite attractive to many players.

This team just won the English Premier League championship, and there are also good players like Gareth Bale, Sanchez, Suarez, Gerald, and Chen Yingxiong. These people ensure the team's competitiveness. Especially Chen Yingxiong, he used his practical actions to prove to the world one thing - there are heroes and champions!

Who doesn’t want a championship, who doesn’t want to win honors?

Why did Henry transfer from Arsenal to Barcelona? You should know that in Highbury, he is the king. He is supported by thousands of people, the captain in the team, and the one-on-one character in the locker room. Why did he choose Barcelona? Because he wants a championship and a Champions League champion, his career is just that champion.

Why did Fabregas follow Henry's footsteps later and also transfer to Barcelona? Also because he wanted a championship.

When a team never wins a championship, it is natural for a team with a greater chance of winning the championship.

Water flows to the lower part, people walk to the higher part.

After Chen Yingxiong joined the team, Liverpool will have at least one championship every season.

This is really amazing. Just like Mourinho, the team he coaches will have at least one championship every year. No matter what the championship it is, there must be.

Chen Yingxiong is the same. After joining Liverpool, he brought Liverpool a League Cup championship in his first season, the second season was the Europa League championship, and the third season was the League championship.

Chen Yingxiong is already equal to the guarantee of the championship. As long as there is Chen Yingxiong, there is a championship.

This makes Liverpool attractive to many players.

It’s great to transfer to Liverpool and win both fame and fortune!

Thornton is a typical example of them.

As long as Liverpool calls out, they will immediately flock to play for Liverpool.

This is especially effective for those not the world's top stars.

So Liverpool's transfer this summer is generally very smooth and smooth

Thornton is here, Pepe is here, and there are many people who are rotating players.

Kuyt left, Bellamy left, and the team needed new players on the wing.

They bought winger Michael Kelly from Wolves, a winger who was once famous and attracted Manchester United's interest. However, after an injury, his performance was quiet. But overall, he is still a qualified winger and can be the main player in some Premier League teams. In a giant like Liverpool, he naturally can only play rotation.

Although he is not a main player, Kelly himself is still very interested in joining Liverpool. Besides, he is confident in his strength. He believes that with his strength and performance, he may not be able to compete with Sanchez, Bale, and Adam Johnson.

Kelly is characterized by fast speed, cunning running position, smart passing balls, daring to kick and shooting, and having the ability to change the game alone.

In addition, Gerald is getting older and he needs a successor.

Shahin was proven to be unsuccessful and was about to be sent away. Gotze and Gerald's styles are different and cannot be Gerald's successor.

So the team still needs someone to replace Gerald.

Liverpool's favourite is the Irish midfielder James McCarthy who plays for Wigan Athletics. He is a wake-up British "box_to_box" player. From one penalty area to another, his fierceness on the defensive end and his rapid offensive end are impressive, with accurate long and short passes and knowing how to score in time.

Although he is young, he is experienced. At the age of 18, he had already completed 100 games for the Soviet Super League team Hamilton.

Moreover, this player is quite destined to be with Liverpool. He came to Liverpool for trial training at the age of 15, and it is impressive. Now the coach of the Liverpool youth team still remembers this Irish boy. After the trial training, Liverpool was like McCarthy sending an invitation to join, but he rejected Liverpool's invitation and was more inclined to continue his football study in Hamilton.

Daglish's evaluation of the player is - "New Gerald".

From this we can see that such a person is simply the natural successor of Gerald.

The only problem is that McCarthy's net worth is also rising after Wigan Athletics gradually showed his strength.

At the beginning, Wigan Athletic only spent 1.2 million pounds to bring him from the Scottish Premier League. Now if Liverpool wants to get him, he may have some blood. Because it is not only Liverpool who is optimistic about McCarthy.

Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool are all interested in him.

Although Liverpool and McCarthy had a relationship, McCarthy was full of gratitude for Liverpool when he was fifteen years old and had a good impression of Liverpool. However, Liverpool had to pass the Wigan Athletics first.

Wigan Athletics priced McCarthy 20 million pounds.

This price is obviously too expensive and Liverpool cannot accept it.

What's more, McCarthy doesn't have a "household account" from England, which will definitely affect his value.

For him, Nian took action himself. After some bargaining, Liverpool and Wigan reached an agreement on the price of 13 million pounds and gained the opportunity to contact McCarthy.

McCarthy is also very interested in being able to join Liverpool. Of course, he knows that his template is Gerald. He also knows that Gerald is old and Liverpool needs a successor. He also thinks he can successfully replace Gerald at Liverpool.

So he eventually rejected Chelsea and Manchester United and chose to join Liverpool.

There is another person who also needs a successor, that is the team's old goalkeeper Reiner.

Reiner is thirty-two years old, and no one knows how long he can maintain his condition and ability, so it's better to prepare for it.

They have a crush on two young and excellent goalkeepers, one is the main goalkeeper Alex Smithies who plays for Huddersfield, and the other is Joseph Peter Joe Lewis who plays for Cardiff City.

Both goalkeepers are excellent and each has their own strengths.

Liverpool both offer prices, it depends on how they can agree.

Their offer is not high because they are substitute goalkeepers. If they buy it for a lot of money and let him sit on the bench, it would be too unpaid. But what if they want to be the main force, what should Reina do?

Therefore, many teams choose to substitute goalkeepers, either to draw from their youth teams, or to choose players who are cheap or simply free transfers.

This can save a lot of money.

Cardiff City was not satisfied with Liverpool's offer. They hoped to sell Joe Lewis for 5 million pounds. This price was unacceptable to Liverpool. After repeated negotiations failed, Liverpool could only give up Joe Lewis.

At the same time, Huddersfield's side was quite smooth.

Liverpool initially offered a price of one million, but Huddersfield disagreed. Later, both sides bargained and increased to two million. Liverpool told Huddersfield that this was their final offer, two million, if they didn't agree, it would be fine.

Huddersfield thought about it and it was not too good to say two million, and it was better than not being able to make a penny. Besides, Smithis was a person who could not keep... Before he met, he heard that Liverpool was interested in him, so happy? He posted several messages on Twitter, and for several days he was like drinking high, and he was drifting...

Anyway, it’s not enough to keep it, so it’s better to sell it and exchange it for some money.

In this way, Huddersfield agreed to Liverpool's offer, and Liverpool bought Alex Smith for two million pounds as a substitute for Renard.

Although he is a substitute, Smith is not discouraged. He firmly believes that when Renner gets old, he will become Liverpool's main goalkeeper. At that time, with this powerful Liverpool sweeping across Britain and fighting against Europa, he will achieve unparalleled achievements.

This is the goal a man should pursue!

These transfers are aimed at enhancing the thickness of Liverpool's bench. They may not be top players, they may still have flaws, and may not be mature enough. However, as a member of the team, they can learn a lot, and at the same time when they need to play, they can also play an important role.

Therefore, Nian attaches great importance to the introduction of these players.

It can be seen from his personal help to help the team take down McCarthy.

Liverpool almost collapsed last season because the bench was not thick enough, and the gap between the main lineup and the substitute lineup was too big.

So this summer, introducing suitable substitutes is also the focus of the team's transfer.

Nian doesn't want anything like that to happen again.

These players will indeed enhance the team's strength. Coupled with the players already there, Liverpool has a real look of a giant today.

This is the road to revival. As before, under the full suppression of Benitez, the team won a Champions League championship, but so what? After winning the Champions League championship, it immediately became worse and worse every year and plummeted. It can be said that under Hodgson and Daglish, Liverpool's performance was poor. There is a big reason for Benitez to destroy Liverpool's tradition and damage Liverpool's foundation. Since then, he has been paying off his debts to Benitez.

Nian hopes that Liverpool can continue to develop healthily and steadily, so substitutes are more important than the main players.
