398 The name of a man, the shadow of a tree

"There is a saying among us Jews that if the world is very beautiful, nine parts are in Jerusalem!"

At dusk, Yang Cheng and Natalie finally climbed Mount Olives in the eastern part of Jerusalem and looked westward. Nearby was the old city of Jerusalem, you could see that ancient city wall, and the further side of the wall was the modern city of Jerusalem.

"If the world has sorrow, nine parts are in Jerusalem!"

Natalie said this, her head leaned against Yang Cheng's shoulder, and her indescribable attachment, "Do you know why you say that?"

Yang Cheng shook his head. He didn't have much feelings about this so-called holy city. In his opinion, it was probably just a city with a little history. He didn't have as much emotion as Natalie.

"Many people say that this is a tragic city, with disputes and wars never quelled, so when I was very young, I hoped to come to Jerusalem one day, along the pebbled path, from the caning hall to the tomb of Jesus, and retrace the suffering of Jesus carrying the cross."

When talking about this, Yang Cheng obviously felt a very sacred feeling from this girl's face.

At this moment, Natalie's image in his mind was much higher. She no longer looked like the helpless little girl back then. Now he is a college graduate who knows how to think and knows a lot of things.

"Will you go with me tomorrow?" Natalie asked in a pleading question.

Yang Cheng didn't think too much, and nodded and agreed.

They can only stay in Jerusalem for 3 days, so Yang Cheng will try his best to meet Natalie's request. Who told him to agree to Natalie's parents and would look at this girl well?

Seeing Yang Cheng agreeing, Natalie was so happy that she held Yang Cheng's hand and looked down at the entire Jerusalem on Mount Olives.

She once had a wish to re-trace this painful path with her beloved man.

She knew that if Yang Cheng learned about her wish, Uncle Cheng would definitely refuse, and he would even alienate her relationship without hesitation, so she deliberately kept it from everyone, including her parents.

Turning his head, I happened to see Yang Cheng's side face in the dusk, extremely familiar.

When she remembered countless times, she would not help but recall the way they looked when they met in Leipzig. They were all very stupid at that time. She thought no one would care about her, especially when Yang Cheng left for so long and hadn't come back, she thought she had met a guy with a fake kindness.

So, when Yang Cheng bought a ticket and sent her a warm sweater, she was really moved.

He is a good person, the best and best person in the world!

This impression was like a virus, and it quickly spread into her mind, swallowing up all other thoughts. Even if she could see a lot of scandals about Yang Cheng in newspapers and magazines, and about his hookup with a certain woman, she would take the initiative to make excuses for Yang Cheng.

Very stupid?

Maybe, but isn’t it so stupid for a woman to fall in love with a man?

If I can, I would like to rely on him like this for the rest of my life, follow him silently, and accompany him silently, just to call him kindly, Uncle Cheng!

Liverpool is very small, compared to a city, really small.

Yang Cheng rented a three-story villa in Prescott on the outskirts of the city. In addition to the necessary swimming pool, sauna and cinema, there are 5 bedrooms and a spacious master bedroom. The master bedroom is facing the huge garden of the villa.

The surroundings are covered with shade from green trees, making the villa air very good.

The only place that is not suitable for is the British climate, which is always difficult to see the sun and it often rains.

When Yang Cheng took Natalie back to Liverpool, Sienna was like a hostess, helping Yang Cheng decorate the villa.

Although Natalie and Sienna are very familiar with each other and she admires Sienna's taste and ability, she still finds it difficult to get close to her in her heart because she always feels that there is something between Sienna and Yang Cheng.

Although it turns out that the two of them did not have any intimate actions when they slept in separate rooms, the woman's terrible intuition told her that Sienna's eyes were not simple when she looked at Yang Cheng.

Otherwise, why didn't she have this intuition when she looked at that hourly worker aunt?

If Yang Cheng learned about Natalie's thoughts, he would probably cry in tears. He was not so hungry that even the hourly worker aunt was swallowing it.

Back at Liverpool, Yang Cheng took the car and went out.

It is exactly 15 minutes' drive from Prescott to Anfield Stadium, less than 8 kilometers, so Liverpool is very small.

When Yang Cheng arrived at Anfield Stadium, the security guard immediately opened the door and asked Yang Cheng to drive his Ferrari directly in.

When he walked into the office, a staff member immediately came up and took Yang Cheng to a smaller conference room.

"Mr. Yang Cheng, you are here!"

As soon as he walked into the conference room, Rick Parry stood up and greeted him. He saw three players in casual clothes sitting in the conference room. He recognized them at a glance, namely the team captain Hypia, local core Gerald and Carragher.

"I'll introduce you!" Rick Parry pointed at the three of them and was about to introduce them.

Yang Cheng shook his head, "No need, Rick, this is Sammy, Steven and Jamie!"

All three players reached out to shake hands with Yang Cheng, "Welcome to Anfield, Caesar!"

"You guys talk, I have something to do, go out first, if you need to call me!" Rick Parry smiled and retreated.

Yang Cheng found a place to sit down, and all three players also sat down.

"This should be our first meeting!" Yang Cheng put his hands on the table, looking casual. "First of all, I have to clarify. In the transfer we are currently doing, except for the goalkeeper Renner who is planning to introduce them to Villarrell's loan from Barcelona, ​​and my interest in Spanish midfielder Xavi Alonso, everything else is fake!"

Yang Cheng was very open and honest. He never felt that the head coach needed to hide anything from the players, and neither of these players nor those present had any conflicts in positions.

"Steven, it's like what I said to the reporter that you are a non-sale product of the team. I hope you can stay and make a statement to the outside world, and publicly state that you can stay in the team. Is it okay?" Yang Cheng used a tone of negotiation.

Gerald thought for a while and nodded, "No problem, I never thought of leaving Anfield, never."

"Okay, I can guarantee that staying is definitely a wise choice!" Yang Cheng nodded with a smile.

Turning around, he saw Hypia. The Finnish central defender kept laughing when he saw Yang Cheng, because Yang Cheng almost introduced Hypia in Kaiserslautern, but he failed in the end. However, from this point, it can be seen that Hypia is very consistent with Yang Cheng's requirements for the central defender.

"Sami, I hope you can better play your role as a captain of the team!"

Yang Cheng's words made Haipia nod continuously.

"In the new season, we will have some new teammates joining. I hope you and the two vice captains can help these new teammates integrate into the team. Ian Rush will help you in this regard. If you have any questions, you can come to me directly, but I don't want any conflicts and disputes in my locker room. Can it be done?"

Hypia obviously noticed what Yang Cheng said, that was, there was an internal strife in the Liverpool locker room last season, and many other players were bombarded by Murphy, and even almost attacked Hollier. This incident caused a lot of noise in the Premier League.

This may be related to Hollier's coaching, but Yang Cheng does not want such chaos in his locker room.

How can a strong combat power be condensed without a united locker room?

"Yes!" Hypia nodded. He was a very easy person to get along with.

Gerald and Carragher also nodded one after another. They were both club youth training and were promoted to deputy captain by Yang Cheng. Naturally, they should also perform their duties as deputy captains and assume responsibilities.

"I have to say about Jamie that the arrival of Finnan and Glenn Johnson will not shake your position on the team. I have studied your game video seriously and I plan to try it out for you to play in the new season."

"Central defender?" Carragher was a little surprised.

"Yes, partner with him!" Yang Cheng pointed at Haipia and smiled.

Hypia was still laughing, looking at Carragher and laughing.

"I believe that the combination of you and Sammy will be very good. Of course, this is just an attempt!" Yang Cheng explained.

Of course he couldn't tell Carragher straightforwardly that he would reach the peak of the central defender position, who would believe it?

In fact, Yang Cheng only knows the combination between Haipia and Carragher, but he still needs to observe in training and competitions how these two central defenders cooperate and how to assign tasks.

Under normal circumstances, double central defenders are usually one in front and one behind, one behind, one on the other, but the details vary from person to person to cooperate. These cannot be judged by video and experience. Even if Yang Cheng is a time traveler, he will not be of any help.

I have to say that the names of people, the shadow of trees, and where Yang Cheng's name is placed, all the players he has carved have become talented. Carragher now does not have too many doubts about Yang Cheng. He has repeatedly expressed that he is willing to cooperate with the head coach's ideas to try to partner with Haipiya.

As for Hypia and Gerald, they don't need to worry about their position in the team, especially Gerald.

The Liverpool local star's ability to dribble the ball and the long shot after inserting it is very good. It will be an important part of Yang Cheng's tactics. In addition to Davis' large-scale interception coverage and midfield sorting, as well as the dribbling of the left and right sides, Liverpool's midfield will definitely have a good strength as long as it can be run-in.

The only shortcoming is Harvey Alonso.

The reason why Yang Cheng wanted to get Espanyol was not only because he had the ability to sort out the midfield, good ball output, and excellent position, but also because he had the ability to dispatch and transfer balls on a large scale.

There are really few such players in medium and long pass transfer and dispatch. Manchester United went to Real Madrid's Beckham, Chelsea's high price to introduce Veron, Inter Milan's Pirlo, and Barcelona's Xavi is not particularly outstanding in this regard. The rest is Real Sociedad's Xavi Alonso. He is excellent in long, medium and short passes, and he also has control and grasp of the rhythm.

Of course, without Harvey Alonso, Yang Cheng has prepared another set of playing styles, but it still needs to be studied during training.

…………

When meeting with three players, Yang Cheng made good use of his fame and status in football to talk to them about the upcoming new season and also received their promises. Gerald even agreed to hold a press conference the next day to announce his stay in the team.

In addition to making his own requests, Yang Cheng also patiently listened to the three players' ideas about the team.

They all mentioned one thing without exception, that is, the point that everyone criticized Liverpool the most last season, and the offensive methods were single, which is why Liverpool's goals were the least among the top teams in the Premier League.

Regarding this, Yang Cheng directly laughed, "Have my team scored fewer goals?"

The three players thought about it and couldn't help but laugh, because isn't Yang Cheng known for offensive football?

Gerald smiled and was satisfied, but Hypia and Carragher were mixed. Because of the importance of offense, the pressure on defense increased. However, after thinking about it, Yang Cheng's team seemed to have never been defensive.

After seeing off the three players, Yang Cheng walked out of the conference room with a smile and walked directly into Rick Parry's office.

"You came just right. Mr. Yang Cheng, Reina's transfer has been completed. 1.5 million euros, he belongs to you!"

When Yang Cheng heard this, he immediately laughed. He sat down opposite Rick Parry and talked about Reiner's transfer.

Reina's situation is a bit similar to Etoo, but it is a little more complicated than Etoo.

He was once a goalkeeper promoted by Barcelona. At that time, they even shouted, Real Madrid has Casillas, we have Reina, and the club's board of directors has promoted Reina to the stage, as if to use Reina to prove the club's youth training, which is very similar to Real Madrid's Zidane + Pavin policy.

Reina was overwhelmed and her performance was abnormal, which completely turned the policy into a joke. He was also loaned to Villarrell, with a contract of two years. Two years later, Villarrell could directly sign him for 750,000 euros.
