Chapter 24: Niang's Means to Ask for the Moon
Chapter 24 Nian's methods (third update, please give me a monthly vote!)
Chen Yingxiong has always had a feeling during training, that is, the team's cross quality is very unstable, sometimes it's OK, and sometimes it's a mess. Moreover, Liverpool does not have a special person to be responsible for crossing, and their wing attacks are almost negligible.
Although Chen Yingxiong's current ability can help him get rid of the routine of relying on crosses from the side and then heading the ball in the middle to grab points. However, without crosses from the side, he still feels uncomfortable. After all, crosses from the side and heading the ball in the middle is really a very efficient scoring method. As a center, what we need to pay attention to is not whether the goal is beautiful, but whether the goal is all. Efficient scoring methods are naturally the most popular.
He discovered this in the warm-up match this summer, and Liverpool's cross was really just kicking the football into the middle.
He had to find this thing by himself, and he found it and grabbed it by himself, and basically he faced two people alone. He scored very few headers in the warm-up match, which was related to this.
His teammates did not pay attention to accuracy or advancement when crossing the wing. They were just crossing, which was completely different from his feeling in Naples.
In Naples, when teammates cross, they will see where Chen Yingxiong is and what his running route is, so that the crossing will be targeted. Moreover, in daily training, crossing is also a subject that wing players need to practice. At that time, Chen Yingxiong had to cooperate in running in the middle to receive crosses from his teammates. This practice is very targeted and is one of the reasons why Chen Yingxiong was able to score 51 goals in a season.
At Liverpool, Daglish did not arrange such special crossing practices to let his teammates understand Chen Yingxiong's running and receiving habits, so Chen Yingxiong naturally had no way of knowing the crossing habits of his new teammates. He still figured out Liverpool's crossing performance from so many warm-up matches.
He suddenly felt that such a cross was really a scam. Many times he ran to the space according to his experience and habits, but his teammates passed the football behind him. The next time he waited deliberately, but his teammates passed the football in front. He went to the back point, crossed it forward point, and he was at the front point, crossed the ball straight to the back point... If he hadn't known that his teammates didn't have this intention, he really doubted whether he was deliberately playing tricks on him.
Later he realized that Liverpool's crossing level was like this...
He felt like he didn't know what to say.
In Naples, the whole team's tactics are formulated around him, so meticulous that even the basic crossing technique needs to be practiced specifically, striving to allow every Neapolitan wing player to grasp the characteristics of Chen Yingxiong's running position and find a tacit understanding of cooperation, so as to accurately pass the football onto Chen Yingxiong's head.
Chen Yingxiong, who has adapted to this treatment, was unable to adapt to Liverpool's tactical style of playing wherever he thought of it.
Although he scored many goals in the warm-up match, if you want to say more, it was actually a hat trick against the Chinese national team, and other games were all one goal. There are special reasons for his big explosion in the game against the Chinese team and it cannot be used as a reference.
In fact, his goal efficiency is not high - yes, one goal per game, for Chen Yingxiong, this efficiency is really not high.
The reason why he is not very efficient in scoring is that he has not yet figured out Liverpool's style of playing on the wing, and later he found that he could not adapt. He can score one goal in one game, because of his strong personal ability, especially long shots and four warm-up matches, he scored three goals with long shots.
This is because everyone's defense is not very serious in the warm-up game. If they arrive in the official league, they will still rely on long shots to score, but it will be overwhelming.
At this moment, he noticed that his teammates were discussing new signings.
Tangning is coming?
He didn't know who Tang Ning was at first, but later he gradually knew this person amid everyone's discussions. It turned out to be a wing player. He was said to be very powerful in his early years, which made many people highly expect his future. He was also the best player for Aston Villa last season. Chen Yingxiong felt that "although I don't know what happened, it sounded so powerful"...
It's good to be a wing player. It seems that Daglish has noticed this problem, so he has nothing to worry about.
As for Tangning's level, he can't control this. He thinks that the person the "King" likes is not that bad, right? It's Liverpool. The giant teams naturally need to have players of the giant level. How can they come from any cat or dog?
You have to be a little capable person, right?

Nian's counterattack against Darglish was not directly on the table, so it would be a slap in the face and affect the unity of the club's management. Moreover, Darglish has a high prestige among the players and fans. Although many fans questioned the reason why he valued Darglish so much, overall, the KOPs still admired and supported Darglish very much. If they had a falling out with Darglish in person, they would be afraid that it would not be good for them and would increase the pressure on Chen Xing.
He decided to secretly cross Chen Cang.
He ignored the overwhelming rumors about Downing's transfer in the news media. Downing is not a player of Messi and Chen Yingxiong. Why did his transfer get so much attention from the media? He couldn't help but wonder if it was Downing's agent who received some instruction that he used the media to promote the transfer transaction, creating established facts, and let Liverpool not buy it. He had to accept the price they quoted.
He was silent and then started his own action - you, Daglish, can buy and sell players, and so can I!
I am the general manager of the team. Is there no such little power yet?
He is interested in Adam Johnson who plays for Manchester City.
Compared with Downing, Johnson has no advantage in speed, but his skills are good and he is also an English player. The most important thing is that although he is a left-footed player, he can still play on the right and can be competent on both sides. Moreover, his fame is not as big as Downing, and the price can be cheaper.
In addition, Nian also learned that Manchester City is seducing Arsenal's Nasri, who is mainly playing on the wing. After he comes, there will definitely be no Adam and Johnson's position. Last season, Adam and Johnson were the main player at Manchester City. They played 31 league games in one season, but his situation this season may not be like last season.
Nian plans to start from now on, take out Nasri to convince Adam Johnson and let him switch to Liverpool. Although Liverpool has never had a championship in recent years, and his fame and number of overseas fans have also shown a downward trend, in England, Liverpool still has a great influence. Liverpool and Manchester United are the two teams that English players are most willing to join, old giants and former overlords of English football. That majesty is still there.
The only difficulty for Adam Johnson to switch to Liverpool is that Nian believes that at Manchester City club, Manchester City may not be willing to sell players to competitors in the league.
For this reason, he has authorized others to conduct public relations privately or personally.
He didn't tell anyone about this, unlike Daglish's yelling all over the world, wishing everyone knew that he was going to pay 20 million pounds to buy Tangning as the sucker of Kaizi.
What Liverpool is interested in Adam and Johnson is announced by Manchester City Club.
They said Liverpool asked the club for Adam Johnson's offer.
Nian was not afraid of this incident being exposed, it would be fine if it was exposed. It was obvious that it would be much better to pass some hints to Daglish through Manchester City clubs and the media than to push himself to the forefront.
But when Daglish heard the news, he was a little surprised - although he had said that Adam Johnson had not asked Manchester City for the price within his considerations, he was still focused on conquering Downing.
What's going on?
※ ※ ※
Daglish ran to find Nion.
"Ah, that's right, Kenny. We don't think we can't put all the eggs in one basket. If Downing can't talk about it for a long time, we can't even introduce a wide player, right? So we try to contact Manchester City and ask if they are willing to let Adam and Johnson leave. Because we know you have also expressed Adam and Johnson can also consider..." Nian moved out what Darglish once said, and he did say that if Downing really doesn't work, Adam and Johnson can do it too.
After all, Nian seemed to be considering himself, right? But why did he just feel unhappy? He felt that he was offended...
"That's right, but Lu. Downing will definitely come back to Liverpool, there is no problem at all! He himself has a strong desire to join the team, and the offer proposed by Aston Villa is not too high. They just demand 20 million pounds. There are almost no decent players in today's football world, let alone an excellent player like Downing! I am working hard to contact Aston Villa. As long as we raise the offer to 20 million pounds, I believe an agreement will be reached soon! Downing himself also said that he is willing to come to Liverpool." He still expressed his dissatisfaction. "And, I think the club intends to contact other teams. When purchasing a certain player, it is best to discuss it with me. You must know... I have the final say in the team!"
Kenny Dalglish is worthy of being the "king" of Liverpool. He is full of aura when he speaks such domineering words.
Nian didn't want to have a conflict with Daglish directly, so he just smiled and did not refute him.
※ ※ ※
After teaching Nian a lesson, Daglish left.
The fact that Nian bypassed him to contact Manchester City made him feel the need to speed up his contact with Aston Villa.
Isn't it just 20 million pounds? Although the club's transfer budget this season is only 20 million pounds left, he still plans to throw it all on Tangning.
He is the head coach of a Premier League team, and he has the right to do so. If he is the head coach of a Serie A team, he would not have the least say anything about this.
※ ※ ※
Daglish intends to speed up negotiations with Aston Villa, while Nian is also stepping up poaching people from Manchester City.
He also sent someone to privately contact Adam Johnson, inquire about his words, and see what he thought about leaving Manchester City to come to Liverpool.
This summer, Liverpool has a perverted scorer like Chen Yingxiong, which has indeed increased the appeal for many players, because it shows that Liverpool really plans to do something, and their new boss still has ideas, unlike the two previous American bosses who planned to make money with Liverpool...
Nian's people told Adam Johnson directly that Liverpool now has high center forwards like Chen Yingxiong, so we need to have the ability to pass football on the wing to his head. And you Adam Johnson is exactly what we need. Come to Liverpool and you will definitely guarantee you the main position!
This is a bit shameless because the person who can ensure the main position is the head coach, not the team's general manager.
But Adam Johnson didn't know the conflict between Nian and Darglish, and just thought Nian was talking to him on behalf of Darglish.
Manchester City's pursuit of Nasri is coming to an end. It seems that they are going to succeed, and once Nasri comes to the team, he will lose his position, which is for sure.
So... maybe changing places is really a good choice?
