Chapter 648 Who Is The First Brother?
On the third day after Liverpool defeated Manchester City, Liverpool's local newspaper, the Liverpool Post, published an appeal from Benitez, hoping that all parties can put aside their disputes and work together to negotiate a summer transfer plan.

At the same time, the Liverpool city government also quickly came forward to put pressure on it, calling on the British Sports Department to intervene in Liverpool's management disputes as soon as possible, because the infighting between Hicks and Gillette has seriously affected the image of Liverpool's city.

"This is not just a matter of football. We must do something to maintain the image of our city."

The statement of the Liverpool City Government also quickly received support from all parties.

The cross-party football parliamentarian group in the British Parliament has publicly stated that it will once again investigate the acquisition of British clubs by foreign owners, including the Liverpool board crisis.

The chairman of the group, British MP Alan King, said, "England clubs have made great achievements in European football. This season we have won the top four seats in the Champions League. This is an unprecedented success. However, there are still many problems in the management of the club. This is a big problem related to the development of football."

At the same time, the Liverpool police also officially stated that they will urge Liverpool management to resolve conflicts as soon as possible.

"We've spent a lot of local taxpayer money trying to get rid of the anti-Hicks graffiti around Anfield, it's not Liverpool FC's business, it's the city's business."

……

The pressure from all walks of life forced Liverpool to respond.

The general manager of the club, Rick Parry, quickly met with Hicks and Gillette to communicate and coordinate the current situation of Liverpool, and then announced on the official website that the talks have made positive progress and will resolve disputes and contradictions in the near future.

At the same time, Rick Parry said that the team will work out a summer transfer plan as soon as possible, and at the same time try its best to retain many players in the current team, including Yang Yang.

But almost at the same time, the media in Catalonia, Spain broke the news that Barcelona officially made an offer to Liverpool, hoping to introduce Yang Yang this summer.

The British Sun newspaper also quickly followed up, saying that Barcelona did make an offer, but was rejected by Liverpool, because Barcelona's offer did not have the rumored 8000 million euros, but only 7000 million euros.

"Liverpool insiders revealed that it is impossible for Liverpool to agree to such an unrealistic offer."

…………

…………

In the two days after the team disbanded, Yang Yang still stayed in Liverpool to deal with some things.

When Barcelona sent an offer fax to Liverpool, Raiola also appeared in Liverpool for the first time and brought first-hand information to Yang Yang.

"The current situation is still very chaotic, complicated and not clear at all."

The Italian fat man is obviously also having a headache, because Liverpool is like a mess now, and it is impossible to figure out what is going on. It can only be said to be very chaotic.

The management is chaotic, the club can't come up with a clear transfer plan, and there is no way to start the summer transfer.

"I even suspect that if the trouble continues like this, it is estimated that this summer's transfer will not be counted on."

Raiola shook his head and smiled wryly.

Who would have thought that Liverpool would suddenly have so many problems in such a successful season.

Of course, these problems did not appear out of thin air, but accumulated in the past one or two years, and now they all broke out suddenly, such as the financial crisis of the two American bosses.

"What news did you hear?" Yang Yang asked with concern.

Raiola was able to become the agent of Yang Yang and Ibrahimovic, and he did it with ease. Naturally, he has his own unique way of survival and secret information channels.

Meet with him, talk to him, and reach a consensus, which is why Yang Yang still stays in Liverpool.

"I received news that Hicks promised to give Benitez a transfer fee of 3000 million pounds. In addition, the income from the transfer during the winter break and the income from the sales of the team this summer can be invested in the transfer operation, but there is a premise."

When Yang Yang heard this, he understood without thinking, "He wants Benitez to support him."

"Yes." Raiola praised with a smile.

Liverpool's performance in the past few seasons has been very good. In the past four years of coaching, Benitez has won two Champions League titles, one Premier League title, and several other cup titles. Especially in the past two seasons, after Yang Yang joined the team, the team's performance is even more outstanding, which also makes Benitez's status in the club reach a new height.

If Benitez publicly supports Hicks, it will undoubtedly make Gillette appear more vulnerable and passive on the board.

"Benitez didn't agree?" Yang Yang guessed.

If Benitez agreed, then there was no need for him to accept media interviews the day before yesterday to clarify the talks between himself and Hicks. The reason why he clarified was that he did not want to be misunderstood.

"Benitez is a football fanatic, but he is not an idiot. Getting involved in the disputes of the board of directors for no reason will not do him any good. What's more, he knows very well that even if Hicks agrees, how can he persuade Gillette?"

Yang Yang smiled. The Americans underestimated Benitez too. Do you really think that empty words can trap the Spaniards?

"I also received information that the relationship between Benitez and Gillette has always been good."

Yang Yang nodded, "Yes, at first Gillette wanted to acquire Liverpool alone, so he was the first to contact Rick Parry and Benitez. The relationship between them has always been good, but these two Americans are not the same."

In the face of huge interests, both Hicks and Gillette are profit-seeking businessmen, but relatively speaking, Gillette will be relatively more friendly to Liverpool. On the contrary, Hicks is desperately trying to maximize his own interests, even at the expense of Liverpool's interests.

"You are right. In this matter, whether it is the club's general manager Rick Parry or the former boss Morse, they have all been fooled by them." Listening to Raiola's tone, he seems to appreciate the empty-handed white wolf operation of the two American bosses.

The reason why they were deceived is that the two Americans set up a special holding company in order to acquire Liverpool. Through this holding company, they borrowed a large sum of money from the Royal Bank of Scotland and spent 2000 million pounds to successfully acquire Liverpool from David Morse.

To say that Rick Parry and David Morse are not idiots, they are both die-hard Liverpool fans, naturally know how to protect the team, so in the contract documents for the acquisition of the club, it is very clearly stated that the debt is a matter of the two American owners and has nothing to do with Liverpool.

Simply put, the American's debt has nothing to do with the club.

And if according to the plan of the Americans, as long as they can successfully borrow again, not only will there be no problems with the debt of the holding company, but even the team's new stadium plan can be implemented as scheduled.

However, the subprime mortgage crisis broke out in the United States, the assets of the two American bosses shrank sharply, and the credit of the bank tightened. They refused to lend them any more money, so when the debt was restructured, they had to dig money from the club to pay high interest.

The relationship between the two American partners also broke down, and the club also suffered a heavy debt burden.

Originally they could be sold to the DIG consortium in Dubai to cash out, but Hicks was obviously not greedy enough and wanted to make more profits, and eventually rejected the DIG consortium, which caused the current predicament.

……

"Barcelona did send an offer, but it was only 7000 million euros. Laporta is also very cautious about this transfer, because Barcelona's finances are not very rich, but they are really interested in you."

Raiola said with certainty.

"Ronaldinho really wants to go?"

"Definitely go." Raiola said, and then he said what he got, about Barcelona's internal struggles in the past two years, and Ronaldinho.

"According to the information I have received, the interior of Barcelona is not stable. You said that they treat Ronaldinho like this now, and they have treated Cruyff, Maradona and Rivaldo in the same way before. What about you?"

Yang Yang kept nodding his head, this is indeed a problem.

"This is only part of the problem. If you really go to Barcelona, ​​how to partner with Messi is also a problem. Who will be the core of the team's attack?"

That's the real big problem.

The offensive core is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface, but a tilt of the team's internal resources.

Just like in Liverpool, Yang Yang has the right to fire, Crouch will play for Yang Yang, Dirk Dirk will defend Yang Yang, and other players will provide services for Yang Yang to ensure that Yang Yang plays in the most relaxed environment.

Because Yang Yang is the number one star of Liverpool, he is the first brother!
In the past two years, Barcelona has been vigorously supporting Messi and wants to replace Ronaldinho with Messi, but if Yang Yang goes, what is he?
Some things can only be obtained by one person. If they are given to Yang Yang, Messi will not have them. If they are given to Messi, Yang Yang will not have them.

So in the end, will Barcelona give Messi, who is a direct descendant of youth training?Or will he introduce Yang Yang with a lot of money?

This is also a problem that must be clarified. If he is not careful, Yang Yang's good situation will be ruined.

For example, if he transfers to Barcelona, ​​but the Barcelona management asks him to help Messi, will he obey?Still disobedient?

Furthermore, clubs can only push one award like World Footballer of the Year, so when the time comes, will they push Messi?Or push Yang Yang?This is also a problem.

"In addition, I got two pieces of news from Spain." Raiola said pretending to be mysterious.

"what?"

"First, Mourinho almost signed a coaching contract with Barcelona, ​​but because of Cruyff's clear objection, the two sides temporarily put it on hold."

Yang Yang frowned after hearing this. He never thought that Cruyff would have such influence in Barcelona.

"Second, Florentino is secretly planning to return to Real Madrid and reorganize the Galacticos!"
