The Ball at Your Feet

While Liverpool are preparing for the game, they also have another thing to do. January is here, and every team in the Premier League also needs to prepare for signings.

Liverpool's current main lineup can be said to be quite outstanding, and does not require much surgery. Although there was a problem with the midfielder, Liverpool could not find a new midfielder for a while. But even so, this half of the season has passed, there are still some adjustments that have to be made.

First of all, several people who have no place in the team want to leave: Smicer is one, and Kewell is another. In the summer, Liverpool had just won the championship. When everyone was happy, they were also willing to stay at Liverpool. But half a season later, they had no chance at Liverpool. Smicer was almost unable to play, and Kewell It was in a state of being injured on the field again, which made the two of them also made up their minds to leave.

The departure of the two of them can still bring some transfer fee income for Liverpool. Smicer and Ligue 1 clubs are willing to introduce him. His transfer fee has been set at around 3 million by Liverpool and he can leave. This is not a high value, and some teams are willing to introduce him. Kewell is more troublesome, his strength is higher, but because his injury is too big, few mainstream league teams are willing to take a gamble and buy a high-level player with a lot of injuries. . It is the Turkish players who are willing to spend about 7 million yuan to introduce him, but Kewell himself is not willing to leave the mainstream league. Therefore, their deals are always under negotiation.

In addition to their departure, Liverpool also decided to sign up. And now, the players with the most rumors with Liverpool are mainly forwards.

Several of Liverpool's forwards are actually not bad. Morientes and Milito are now playing very well, and although Fowler has not scored many goals in this half of the season, his state has also recovered. Therefore, in the eyes of many people, Liverpool does not need the addition of strikers.

But Benitez doesn't think so. He still wants to bring in another striker, and the biggest reason is that none of these three strikers are fast. If Liverpool need to counterattack, they will not be able to play a big role, and now they can only rely on Zhao Yaning and Gerrard, if there is a speed-type shooter, it will be a great help to Liverpool.

On this issue, Benitez quite agrees with the club's views: it is better to buy a native of England than a Spaniard. Although Spain has a lot of good players, but when it comes to speed, they are indeed not England's opponents. After all, the training focus of Spanish football is different. Comparing the body and speed with the guys in the Premier League is completely asking for trouble.

And no need to think about the best speed shooter in England. Everyone knows that it is Michael Owen. In the summer, after he officially broke up with Liverpool, now even Gerrard, who had the best relationship with him before, will no longer open his mouth to welcome Owen. That man is a forbidden sentence in Liverpool, and now no one will mention his name.

When it comes to other shooters who rely on speed to eat and fight back, the best, and the ones Liverpool can buy, should be Bellamy and Walcott.

If it comes to pure immediate combat power, Bellamy is naturally better: he is a lot older, born in 1979, with more mature abilities and more sophisticated style. Although Walcott is favored by the whole of England and touted as the star of tomorrow, he is still a little boy after all. In terms of immediate combat power, he is incomparable with Bellamy.

After all, Bellamy is a player who has been in the Premier League for many years, and he is much more mature than Walcott. In fact, in terms of his strength, it is completely no problem to be a substitute for a strong team in the Premier League. His speed, dribbling ability, ability to combine the ball and the ball are even higher than Irving-but his shooting and ball quotient are much worse than Irving, which also limits his level. But if a suitable tactic is arranged for him, he should be able to play a role.

But Walcott is another situation. He is a new star in England with great potential. His speed is amazing. The English media claimed that he didn't have any defenders to keep up when he drove the ball, and even said that his speed was the speed of track and field athletes. These things are watching. After he played football, it really made people think it was possible. But potential is only potential after all. Before being transformed into strength, it is difficult for him to be of much help to the team. If you buy him, he may not be able to play an immediate role.

After all, in all his abilities now, in addition to amazing speed, dribbling, passing, shooting and other skills, although they are considered good among his peers, they are not beyond the ordinary. Although many people think that he is the one who wants to become a star, it is difficult to say whether he can really develop. After all, the youth training tradition in England is not very good, and there are too many people here who have not developed. Having potential and exerting strength are two different things.

But if he develops, it will definitely be very scary. Such a player with strong ball ability under his feet and speed support, as long as he can open his mind, is an absolute value signing.

In fact, as an England player, even if he can't play a very good level, as long as he is not seriously injured and has this speed as a guarantee, he still plays in the Premier League. He is definitely worth not losing too much. . Even if he can't come out, the journey of gold-plated giants is enough to allow Liverpool to regain some when he leaves.

Which is better to buy-this is Liverpool's distress.

If you buy Bellamy, you are betting on this season. Such a player, for one thing, will definitely not make much progress in the future, and secondly, his character has not always been very good, and it may not be possible to stay on the team for a long time. But fortunately, his price is cheap. Even if it is a winter transfer, he can buy it with about 5 million. Secondly, Liverpool this season is indeed worth a gamble. If his arrival really helps Liverpool win the championship, this deal will be a great value.

But the team has other considerations: Figo is old after all, and he should retire after playing for at most three years. Even if he doesn't retire, he should also consider finding a place to take care of the old. He will definitely not be able to adapt to the demands of the rich. Liverpool has to find someone to play on the right side, and Walcott's age, properly trained, may be able to play Liverpool's wing in the future.

And what makes the Liverpool management more heart-warming is that Walcott himself is a Liverpool fan, and such star players who have a good impression of his team are rare.

And Walcott became a Liverpool fan, not because he is a Liverpool native, or Liverpool's diehard. The reason why he became a Liverpool fan is an interesting story: He was shot by Chelsea and West Ham at the same time, and they all wanted to buy him. In order to attract him to join, the Chelsea team invited him to watch a Chelsea game, hoping that the demeanor of the Chelsea superstar in that game can impress him. And that game happened to be Chelsea against Liverpool. And after watching this game...Walcott became a firm Liverpool fan

The two of them, which one to buy is the biggest problem for Liverpool.

And before Benitez had not considered this issue, Parry had already found it, "We have already thought about the candidates for the winter signings-we are going to buy Walcott from Southampton for 12 million. Don’t be too happy, just treat it as my gift to you."

Who said I was happy... Benitez said something in his heart, but at this time, he still had another question.

"Why are you so generous this time?"

"I've always been like this... well, I did it for a reason. Walcott has other people besides us also."

After asking, Benitez understood why Parry was so generous. It turned out that Southampton told Liverpool that Wenger had also quoted Walcott, and now Walcott has more than one choice.

If it was someone else's quotation, Parry might not think there was anything, but since it was Wenger's quotation, Parry was moved. Wenger's vision is well known in the world. Can the player he fancy is worse?

"I snatched this person from Wenger. Although it costs a little more, it is still worth it. Is there anything wrong with someone that Wenger values?"

Parry was very happy that he could **** someone from Wenger. This season, Liverpool is finally getting richer. As soon as the Asian market brought by Zhao Yaning opened up, Liverpool's income increased by tens of millions in half a season-and even so, it was accused that Liverpool did not know how to use commercial advantages. Under such circumstances, Parry naturally decided to splurge, even if he bought a star like Walcott, he didn't feel distressed.

"This is indeed a very good addition to the team." Benitez can only agree to this signing. "And if the club's funds are relatively rich, it's best to pay more attention to the left. Signs at the guard position. Traore and Warnock are not the ones who can play at this position~www.ltnovel.com~ We still need to pay attention to the players in this position. Riise's playing method is very good. The physical fitness requirements are very high. I think his peak period may not be too long. We have to prepare early for this position."

This made Parry hesitate for a while before speaking, "Why didn't you say this early? If you said it earlier, I would pack Southampton's left back Gareth Bale. As a result, you said it too late. He has been Wenger bought it. But don’t worry, we will definitely have other goals to focus on. Manchester United are also thinking about buying a left-back. They are staring at Evra in Monaco, or else we rob them?"

"Evra is a bit old. If he comes, he will inevitably have some overlap with Riise in his peak period. The two need to seize the opportunity. This is not good for the atmosphere of the team. It is difficult for us to predict whether there will be conflicts. . We should pay attention to younger people. Moreover, we don’t have to be here now, we don’t need him now, we can use it after a while."

"Ok."

When Parry finished saying this, he still couldn’t help his excitement, “It’s okay, you can just let me take care of this matter. We are rich now, and our reputation is back. Arsenal have grabbed people, and we still have our best half-time result in such a long time-now, what we are worse off is a champion. Anyway, take the champion down!"
