Chapter 709: Selling the captain? Isn't that Arsenal's tradition?
Tencent Sports News.

"On November 11, Beijing time, according to the British Daily Mail, the management of HYS, a subsidiary of Hermès, had close contact with the management and coaching staff of Liverpool in the morning local time. Sources revealed"

As the acquisition progresses, the things that fans at home, in England, and even overseas are most concerned about are arranged in order.

It is hard to say whether they are more concerned about T9's transfer or the fact that the head coach who led the team with poor results will stay.

But the top issue is undoubtedly Gerrard's transfer issue.

And this became the main topic of the meeting after the two sides reached an agreement through communication.

The old coach Roy Hodgson met Xiangyang and Axel at a very clever time.

It can even be said that he made the right bet.

Now that the decision has been made to acquire the club, there is only one thing left for Xiangyang, Axel, and even the current club management Ian Ayre.

That is to find out whether it is the lineup or the coach that caused the Red Army to fall to this point in a short period of time.

"Dear Mr. Xiang, may I express my opinion?"

Roy Hodgson said what he thought. In his opinion, the first thing to be resolved right now is his position as coach.

Wanting to buy himself some time, he hopes to gain the support of his new boss.

At least, don't let him be kicked out of Anfield right after the acquisition is announced.

"of course."

Xiangyang glanced at the old man. He really wanted to hear what touching words this English coach who could lead Liverpool to the relegation zone could say.

You don't tell me, based on the information collected by Bi Shaffer.

This coach is really valuable right now.

If the head coach were to be fired rashly, his salary and compensation would total around 800 million pounds.

All in all, it is almost close to the annual income of Mourinho, the highest-paid coach today, at Real Madrid.

"I hope to have your support. It will take time to turn the current situation around. This is a major challenge for me. I don't want to give up in the current situation."

Facing Xiangyang's gaze, Roy Hodgson took a deep breath and said what he wanted to say.

The reason why the results this year are so poor is that the club suffered too much player loss during the summer transfer window.

Due to financial problems, the recruitment of players in various positions has not been done properly.

To be fair, Joe Cole, whom he insisted on signing, once shined, had an exceptionally good performance, and also revitalized the team's offense.

But then, in the strong dialogue, it showed signs of fatigue.

It's a scheduling issue.

When Liverpool first came up this year, they faced Arsenal in the first round, and then faced Manchester City and Manchester United away from home.

The players lost their morale after a series of defeats.

In addition, there were such big problems in the internal links, people’s morale was low and it was difficult to lead the team.

"Then I want to know what Coach Hodgson thinks of Torres's desire to seek a transfer. As far as I know, many players want to leave Anfield now, including many players you have introduced this summer."

Xiangyang listened patiently and asked with a smile.

"." After a moment's pause, Roy Hodgson rolled his eyes.

This question is really difficult to answer.

He is playing the victim simply to secure his position as coach and get more funds for signings in the winter transfer window.

Xiangyang's words not only hurt his lungs.

He also posed a difficult question to him.

Should Torres be sold or not?

Those players who want to leave, let them go or not.

Once the supermarket is opened, there will definitely be criticism from fans. Will he be willing to take the blame?
damn it!
Isn’t it said that Asians don’t understand football?
For a moment, Roy Hodgson had to reorganize his words and looked at the young Chinese man in front of him with strange eyes.

"Torres can be sold. For other players who are willing to leave, our coaching staff will make specific assessments." Roy Hodgson answered truthfully.

Although, Torres is very important to the current club.

But his heart is no longer here.

Instead of forcing them to stay, it is better to exchange for transfer funds.

Xiang Yang admired the old coach's understanding of the times. He nodded and asked, "What about Gerrard?"

"Ah!" Roy Hodgson looked at Xiang Yang in surprise. Liverpool's captain, is he going to be sold too?

This is not possible!

Liverpool is Liverpool!
Not Arsenal!
There is no tradition of selling out captains!

If Gerrard was really sold, how could he have the nerve to stay in the coaching position at Anfield? How could he have the nerve to meet Dalglish who persuaded him to save the team?

You know, Steven Gerrard is the soul of the team in the eyes of fans.

Even if the entire team was torn down and rebuilt, they couldn't touch him.

At Liverpool, the change of captain has a different meaning.

After taking over the captain's armband from Sami Hyypia in 2003, the player has been making great contributions to the club.

"But he couldn't help you control the locker room, right?" Xiangyang grinned, signaling Roy Hodgson not to be so nervous.

"Any player is a commodity in my eyes. You can give them special meaning, but they all have a price tag. I don't have the time and energy to judge who really wants to stay in Liverpool, and I'm too lazy to speculate.

If Liverpool means something to them, then I can guarantee the players that they will get what they deserve."

"As for you personally, Coach Hodgson," Xiang Yang looked at his watch and added, "I'm afraid you don't have much time left to prove yourself."

"Champions League?"

Roy Hodgson hopes that the Asians in front of him will not be too difficult.

Xiang Yang shook his head.

Of course the Champions League is important.

But what is more important is to first solve the club’s internal problems and form a reliable system.

Will I be scolded next season too?

Roy Hodgson, who couldn't grasp Xiang Yang's true thoughts, had to ask: "When do you plan to meet with the players?"

"Let's wait until the Asian Games opens. I hope we can achieve good results in the competitions during this period."

In Xiangyang's opinion, participating in the Asian Games is much more important than Liverpool.

About 20 minutes later
Back in the main conference room, the conversation here was coming to an end.

As usual, a dinner party is held.

As soon as they entered the room, everyone's eyes were on Xiangyang.

After sitting next to Axel for a few minutes, everyone stood up and walked out. Axel asked as he walked:
"How was it? Communicating with your new employee."

"He is too old." Xiang Yang's words directly sentenced Roy Hodgson to death.

After the conversation, the old coach did not leave any deep impression on him.

"Paying an extra 800 million is nothing." Axel said with a smile that they had to pay a huge sum of 6 million pounds, so Xiangyang shouldn't care too much about such a small matter as 800 million pounds.

"There's no rush." ​​Xiang Yang said, and suddenly stopped.

He turned his head to look at Axel and blinked.

If I become the CEO of the reorganized HYS Sports Investment, can I get an extra salary?

The salaries of the people under me are all so high.
Thinking of this, Xiangyang glanced at several Oaktree Capital executives who were having a great conversation with the Bank of Scotland.

Their salaries are not low either, they are all in the tens of millions of dollars.

"Hahaha." Axel was amused by Xiangyang's sudden jealousy.

But don't say, the new contract is ready.

Xiangyang, your salary will indeed increase.

"I need to tell my wife about this good news first." Xiangyang smiled happily when he heard that his salary had really increased.

Working people have their own happiness.

This happiness is quite pure.

"By the way, I need to call Berlusconi back first." Xiang Yang took out his cell phone and suddenly remembered something more important.

Roy Hodgson was right about one thing.

Selling captain.

Isn't that Arsenal tradition?
