Chapter 231 Ali; Sissoko (October
Chapter 231 Ali Sissoko (Please give me a monthly vote in the tenth update!)
I have to say that Nion's moves are indeed fast. On June 11, both Liverpool and Fiorentina announced that Bochetti and Coates had changed their clubs, Bochetti officially joined Liverpool, and Coates went to Florence as the top player in this transfer deal.
When the news was announced, the media were a little surprised. They were not surprised that Bochetti went to Liverpool - the water flowed to the lower part and people walked to the higher part, and the foreigners also understood the truth. They were not surprised that Coates left Liverpool - there were signs of it long ago.
They just didn't expect that as the four-time champions last season, Liverpool did not lie on their credit book and enjoy the various benefits that so many championships brought to them.
Instead, he immediately entered the transfer market and launched a vigorous and decisive transfer action.
Bochetti's transfer to Liverpool itself is nothing worth writing about.
But the symbolic significance of this transfer deal is far greater than its practical significance. This means that Liverpool's ambitions next season have not diminished, and they have a bigger goal, at least they will continue to compete for the championship.
"...This is a signal, a signal from Liverpool to other competitors, telling them that Liverpool has not been filled with four championships, their appetite has not been satisfied yet, ** is endless! I think this is the most terrifying thing about this team!"
This is how a media commented on the transfer transaction.
Bochetti would not know that his invisible choice has become a symbol of Liverpool's lofty ambitions.

Nian Ke didn't have the leisure to see the media's comments on his transfer actions.
After taking Bocheti, he flew to Senegal without stopping, with the target character Ali Sissoko.
This left-back who has become a world-class left-back in Ligue 1 is Liverpool's latest prey.
It is much more difficult to win Sissoko than to win Bochetti.
Bochetti wants to come to Liverpool, and Liverpool has no competitors. Fiorentina's main central defender is not attractive enough to many giants. In addition, Bochetti is only 1.78 meters tall. As a central defender, this height is his shortcomings, and it also makes many giant teams not very interested in him.
But Sissoko is different. As early as Porto, he attracted the attention of many wealthy families. AC Milan once won him for 15 million euros. He was beaten back because he failed during the physical examination. At that time, the reason given by AC Milan was extremely ridiculous. Milan laboratory believed that Sissoko's teeth had problems because their teeth caused muscle inflammation and did not recover, which would affect his future performance. In fact, this was simply an excuse. The real reason may be that AC Milan thought it was too risky to spend 15 million euros to buy a young left-back who was only 21 years old, so they proposed to Porto that they hoped to rent Sissoko for one year for 1.5 million yuan, plus the priority acquisition clause. However, this requirement was rejected by Porto in the form of "sky asking price".
What team is Porto?
It is a famous black store in Europe after Lyon. Seeing that 15 million euros were about to arrive, it became a bubble for such nonsensical reasons. It would be strange if they could still agree to AC Milan’s request. Their goal is 15 million euros, and 1.5 million people didn’t take it seriously at all.
In this way, AC Milan missed the top left-back, and then Lyon picked up a bargain. Judging from Sisoko's current value and fame, Lyon has indeed been a bargain.
During these seasons in Lyon, he has made great progress and has grown into one of the few top left-backs in the world football world today. AC Milan later regretted that he wanted to bring Sissoko, who is already in Lyon, to the San Siro Stadium. But at this time it was not a mere 15 million euros to succeed.
They were ruthlessly rejected by Lyon, not to mention that AC Milan was in a financial crisis later, and there were constant news that their boss Berlusconi wanted to withdraw funds from selling AC Milan. Milan naturally had no time to pursue Sissoko again, although they really regretted it.
But who made them reluctant to leave even 15 million euros at the time?

Sissoko was once famous as a left-back in Porto. At that time, in the Champions League between Porto and Manchester United, he successfully frozen Cristiano Ronaldo and became famous in one game.
Later, when he was in Lyon, he met Real Madrid, and the whole game frozen Di Maria, and at the same time, he was not at a disadvantage in the two matches with Cristiano Ronaldo.
Sissoko's physical fitness is excellent, which is also the trait of many black players. He is 1.81 meters tall and weighs 75 kilograms.
As a full-back, defense is his job, and Sissoko is very tough in defense. This can be seen from his ability to freeze Cristiano Ronaldo at the peak.
But that's not enough. A good left back is at most an excellent left back. The real factor in determining whether he is a world-class left back is offense.
Modern football has many assist requirements for full-backs, and the offensive tasks of full-backs in the game are even heavier than defense.
A fullback who can't attack can't even sell at a price, while a fullback who can't attack is better than defense can easily sell at a sky-high price.
Sissoko's offensive talent is amazing, and his assists are determined and threatening. His good physical fitness allows him to easily cope with the back and forth sprints, so that he will not be unable to come back after attacking and lose his defensive position.
It is not easy for Liverpool to win such a top central defender.
A year ago, Nion had thought about it, but at that time Lyon had an attitude of not letting Sissoko leave without 40 million euros.
Naturally, Liverpool will not spend so much money for a left-back.
The reason why Lyon was so confident a year ago was that Sissoko and Lyon had a contract.
After a renewal, the contract between Sissoko and Lyon did not expire until 2016.
Now a year has passed and things have changed.
Sissoko and Lyon have one year left in the contract. If Lyon is not as short of both people and money as they have after the end of the season, they would better let Sissoko leave now, so that they can make a fortune. Sissoko's agent has refused to negotiate a contract renewal with Lyon. This news has long been spread throughout European football, and everyone knows that Sissoko is determined to leave this time.
He is already twenty-seven years old, and the golden age of his career has begun. If he continues to stay in Lyon, he will not make any contribution and he must go to the wealthy family.
So this time is different from last time. Sissoko was still young last time. Because of the transfer fee issue, it was still tolerant to staying.
But now, it is impossible to ask him to renew his contract with Lyon.
Lyon himself is also very clear about this. Sissoko will definitely leave this summer. But with Lyon's style, you can leave and give the club enough money before leaving!
For Liverpool this season, there may be a possibility of taking Sissoko away, but the price will be very high.
In addition, in addition to money issues, Liverpool will also face many competitors.
European giants, including Barcelona and Real Madrid, all extended olive branches to Sissoko.
Manchester United intends to buy Sissoko to replace the already aged Evra. Manchester City is rich and wants to introduce Sissoko. They had offered Lyon prices as early as the last chance.
In addition, after Ashley Cole retired, Chelsea also needed a top left-back, and Sissoko was naturally the best candidate.
Lyon is most happy to see so many wealthy families fighting for one person. He doesn't even have to raise the price by himself. It's enough to let these wealthy families compete for themselves.

Nian's strategy is the same. First, find the player himself and ask him about his wishes. If the player himself is not interested in your team at all, then it would be a waste of effort than going to a club.
If the player is interested, he will compete with other teams.
However, Sissoko is not in France, so he went to Senegal for vacation at the end of the season. This is also the reason why Nian flew to Senegal.
He had to talk to Sissoko in person so that he could show his respect.
Although Liverpool was the most successful team in European football last season, as Liverpool's general manager, Nian did not feel that he should be arrogant in front of the players and put on the airs of a giant manager.
This may be the reason why he can always do everything...
To impress players, it depends not only on the team's brilliant record and generous salary.
Sometimes, playing the favor card is quite effective.
For example, Chen Yingxiong...

In a resort somewhere in Senegal, Nian finally met Sissoko.
Of course, it was not so easy to see. He first met with Sissoko's agent Ali Bharat and also stuffed some money.
Only then did I meet Sissoko himself.
The two sides talked for an afternoon in a hotel in the resort.
Nian expressed Liverpool coach Martin O'Neal's interest in him to Sissoko, and then naturally promoted Liverpool to him, tactfully suggesting that Sissoko - following Chen Yingxiong has meat, the championship will definitely be weak. Look at this season... It's a clear proof!
In short, it means to know it with reason and move it with emotion.
It was like a weird uncle who seduced a little girl, hoping to get Sissoko back to his home.
But these days, Sissoko and his agents have obviously heard too many words like this, and they are not interested or believe it.
There was no way, Nion had to use his trump card.
He told Sissoko about Liverpool's goal for next season.
"Next season, our goal is to win all the championships!"
This sentence is indeed very shocking. As soon as it was thrown out, it scared the two of them.
