Chapter 273 This is just another foothill

Sunshine's remarks at Liverpool's championship celebration set off a storm in the media across England and even Europe.

[Yang's ambition: seven crowns! ]

on the second day.

The title of Sky Sports uses large and bold black fonts, which adds enough visual impact.

The accompanying picture is a photo of Sunshine and Liverpool's two major trophies this season.

Such a layout.

Enough to attract attention.

All English media used Sunshine's words as the headline on their front pages.

Start from the end of the celebration.

In the UK, in Europe, on the internet around the world.

Fans are discussing Sunshine's ambitions.

Seven-time champion!

Win all the championships next season?

Such a goal is really too shocking.

The scale of this goal and the tone of this statement are unprecedented.

If Liverpool can win the league and Champions League double this season, which is still within everyone's understanding, then Liverpool will win all the championships next season.

That's a bit of a fantasy.

Take this season, for example.

That’s clearly been seen this season.

Liverpool has given up on both the League Cup and the FA Cup.

This is also normal.

Because Liverpool's bench is very weak.

They cannot afford to fight on too many fronts.

even.

This season.

Liverpool at the end of the season.

He was once plagued by injuries.

They also almost failed in the Champions League.

this means.

Liverpool are not invincible.

They can win the Champions League.

Of course it's due to strength.

but.

There is definitely an element of luck involved.

This is why.

There is a reason why no team has been able to defend the Champions League title since the reform of the Champions League.

because.

Win the Champions League.

It requires more than just strength.

And luck.

There's no telling what luck is.

Liverpool has been lucky this season.

But will they still be lucky next season?
For example.

Next season.

At the crucial moment of the Champions League knockout stage.

Liverpool suffers massive injuries to key players?

What can you do?
Or maybe Yang Guang is injured. Even if he is not injured, what if he is suspended?
Can you anticipate these unexpected situations?
You can't predict.

It is so difficult to defend the Champions League title.

Want to win all the championships?
is it possible?

basically.

Almost all fans and experts think it is impossible.

These are what Yangguang said when he was getting carried away with success. Don't take them seriously.

Even Liverpool fans.

In fact, I can hardly believe it.

They are actually very satisfied.

this season.

It was a pretty brilliant season.

Won the coveted Premier League title.

Broke the Premier League title drought.

And won the sixth Champions League trophy in team history.

In terms of the number of top league titles, there is only one title left for Manchester United.

In terms of the number of Champions League titles.

Liverpool had six and Manchester United had three.

When facing their arch-rivals Manchester United.

Liverpool fans are now full of confidence.

The comparison of the number of championships proves this.

They, Liverpool, are the top club in England.

As for whether Liverpool can continue to be so brilliant next season.
Although Liverpool fans are full of expectations.

But they actually know.

After reaching the peak, it is time for the decline.

This is the case for countless teams.

After reaching the peak.
It started to decline, and then started to rise again.

This is actually human nature.

The players' hunger will decrease after they win a championship and have a brilliant season.

This is inevitable.

That year, Inter Milan won the treble under the leadership of Mourinho.

结果
Inter Milan, the treble winner, performed poorly in the next few seasons.

Liverpool fans have gone through this [peak-trough-peak] cycle.

Sensible Liverpool fans.

For next season.

I won't have too much expectations.

they think.

Even if the team's form declines next season.

That's also normal.

But they didn't expect it.

Sunshine, actually has such big ambitions.

Sky Sports TV.

The invited guests are Gary Neville, Henry, Scholes and Carragher.

The topic of discussion was naturally what Yang Guang said at the championship ceremony.

Scholes is commenting: "I think he is too complacent. Don't forget the depth of Liverpool's squad. They can't afford to play on so many fronts. The result of wanting everything is that they get nothing."

"OK, then do you think Liverpool can win the treble next season? I mean the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup."

the host asked.

Scholes shook his head: "This is absolutely impossible. They have been very lucky this season. Can they have such luck next season?"

"It wasn't luck," Carragher retorted.

"It's just luck," Scholes said.

"I don't agree with this. Liverpool is the strongest team this season. Look at Yang's performance, is there anyone better than him? With such an outstanding Yang, isn't it a natural thing for him to lead the team to win the championship?" Henry said.

Several guests started arguing with each other.

In the end, he got so angry that he resorted to violence.

The show effect is amazing.

At the end of the show.

The host asked the last question: "What is the probability of Liverpool winning seven titles next season?"

The four guests wrote down their answers on the whiteboard.

Neville: 0%
Scholes: 0%
Henry: 0%
Carragher was struggling for a long time.

Finally wrote down a number: 5%
"Really, do you really think there is such a possibility?" Neville sneered.

"It can't be 0 anyway, right?"

"Okay, let's make a bet?"

"Don't you dare?"

"Hahahaha"

The others laughed.

Carragher's face flushed.

The show was a huge success again.

The footage of this show has been circulating on the Internet.

Everyone was talking about Sunshine's words.

The vast majority of people also agree with the views of Neville, Scholes and Henry.

The probability of Liverpool winning seven titles is 0.

The news spread to the country.

Domestic media also woke up to the frenzy of reporting.

Even the Chinese fans who support Yang Guang the most.

Now it is divided into several factions.

Some people think that Yangguang was young and hot-tempered, and that what he said was just a flash of excitement and cannot be taken seriously.

Some people also think that since Yangguang has achieved all the goals he had set before, it won’t be impossible for him to fail to accomplish them this time, right?

There were also little chickens that had been suppressed for a long time and their black feet were exposed.

"Haha, don't you understand the principle that everything that goes up must come down?"

"When you are too proud, you will lose your composure."

"A player who beat up his teammates, is that worthy of your praise?"

"It's no use being a good football player if you don't have good character."

"If such a person can become a full-name idol, the world is going downhill and people's hearts are no longer the same as they used to be."

Domestic public opinion field.

It also became turbid because of Yangguang's words.

In such a heated discussion.

Yangguang posted a tweet in his social media trenches such as Weibo and Twitter.

The accompanying picture is a cartoon.

Liverpool's No. 9, holding two championship trophies, stood at the foot of the mountain and looked up at the top of the mountain.

With text:

"Some say this is the peak, but we are just standing at the foot of another mountain." He tweeted.

It quickly exploded on the Internet.

A large number of media accounts took screenshots and published them.

Liverpool's official Twitter account retweeted: We've just reached the foot of another mountain!
The fans rushed in like crazy.

All of a sudden.

This tweet, this blog post.

Millions of comments, reposts, and attention.

And Yangguang’s attention on social media is also rising steadily.

originally.

His level of attention on social media abroad is slightly lower than that of Messi and Ronaldo.

but.

This tweet was forwarded by many media outlets.

Sunshine's popularity is rising rapidly.

and
More than Messi.

Rapidly approaching the number of social media fans of Ronaldo.

At this speed.

It doesn't take long.

He will become the world's most followed football player on social media.

After the championship celebrations, the team had a day off.

The players went their separate ways.

Go on vacation and relax.

An intense season has passed, and for most of the players, this more than one month of vacation is quite precious.

This is also a time for the players to recharge.

Every season, time is quite tight for the players.

Especially the Premier League.

There is no winter break, it starts in August and runs until May next year.

Training, competition, competition, training.

The season lasts nine months.

The most they can do is take a break during the international match days - if they are international players, they won't even have this little break.

Therefore, after the season ends, it is a rare time of relaxation for the players in the year.

Go on vacation.

Enjoy the sun, the beach and the beauties.

Completely get rid of the fatigue accumulated over a season and completely relax the tense nerves.

after all.

They are human beings, not robots, and if they don't get rest for a long time.

Even if the body can bear it.
I can’t bear it psychologically.

But the players can go on vacation.

But for the club staff.

You also need to go to work during the off-season.

They have to prepare for next season.

Specific to the work of the sports department.

The most important thing, of course, is recruiting players.

We can't wait until the new season's training camp starts to hastily draw up a list of signings.

By this time, the daylilies are cold.

Specifically on Liverpool.

What is the guiding idea for the team's recruitment work in the new season?

What position should be strengthened?

How to strengthen it.

How much budget to spend.

These tasks were originally under the jurisdiction of the team's sports director Eduardo.

but now.

Because Klopp's team won the Premier League and the Champions League.

So, now, the job is between Klopp and Eduardo.

This is equivalent to dividing Eduardo's power.

But there is no way, who made Klopp so brilliant this season?
On the football field.

The winner is king.

There are these championship trophies.

Klopp will certainly have a greater say in the team.

In the team's sports director's office.

Two of the most powerful figures in Liverpool's sporting department.

Sitting face to face.

We will definitely not discuss specific signings today, who to buy and who to sell. This still needs to be resolved through specific data analysis and scouting reports. It is not a decision that can be made by the head coach or sports director on the spur of the moment.

Before.

Recruiting players may depend on personal connections, the attractiveness of the head coach, and the attractiveness of the team.

but now.

More and more clubs are realizing this.

Introduce a player who fits the team's tactics.

A more scientific approach is needed.

Establish a database and use big data for screening.

Finally, several candidates will be selected, and then the feasibility analysis of introduction will be conducted to determine the target price.
If there is no such system.

Recruiting players depends on the head coach’s connections to attract old teammates.

That will definitely cause big problems.

The issues that Klopp and Eduardo want to discuss are more about the general direction.

For example, the team's goals for next season.
Strengthening around the goal will be more targeted.

Eduardo spoke first: "Jurgen, what do you think of what Yang said?"

Klopp laughed when he heard this: "I'm not surprised at all, this is his style!"

"Do you remember what Sunshine said when he first came to the team? Who could have thought that Liverpool could win the Premier League title at that time? But on the first day he came to the team, he said that he would lead the team to win the Premier League and the Champions League. To be honest, even I didn't believe it at the time, but now? We have achieved our goal in the first season."

Klopp spread his hands: "So what else can we say? We have the best player in the world and the best player in history, so all we can do is support him and try our best to make his strength better play on the court. In this way, it will be easy for us to win any championship we want!"

Eduardo nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.

He absolutely agrees with Klopp.

After all, it was he who advocated the introduction of sunlight.

The more sunshine you show, the better it is.

The more it proves that he is doing an excellent job.

"If he says the target for next season is to win all the titles, then that's Liverpool's target!"

Klopp expressed his opinion in front of Eduardo that he supports Sunshine's point of view. Liverpool will launch an all-out attack next season and will not give up an inch on all fronts.

Eduardo frowned upon hearing this: "In that case, how much money do we need to invest to supplement the team's lineup? With the depth of our current lineup, we will definitely not be able to support the battles on all fronts next season."

“Are we very tight on budget for next season?”

Klopp asked.

Eduardo shook his head and said, "That's not the case. Our revenue this season is very good."

Liverpool has performed well this season.

Liverpool's revenue is also rising.

Because of the team's success on all fronts.

In terms of broadcasting fee revenue alone, the Premier League and Champions League combined have exceeded 200 million.

Plus the Champions League prize money is a whopping 80 million euros.

That’s 280 million.

Including various other income.

Liverpool's season revenue has historically exceeded 500 million pounds!
In addition, Liverpool's player salary structure is still under scrutiny.

Liverpool's total wage bill is not as high as that of Manchester City and Manchester United.

Ranked third in the Premier League.

and so.

This Liverpool now.

There is no need to worry about finances.

“I just wonder, how much would it cost to win seven championships?”

This is what Eduardo cares about most.

It’s still a question of cost-effectiveness.

Klopp smiled and said: "In fact, the team's assistant lineup does not need a large-scale update. We only need to make some necessary additions in certain key positions."

"First of all, the goalkeeper position, we need to bring in a top goalkeeper."

Klopp had this idea during the summer transfer window last season.

But you have to eat your meal one bite at a time.

Center forward, center back, goalkeeper.

These are the three positions that Klopp is most concerned about.

There is Sunshine as center forward and Van Dijk as center back.

Goalkeeper
Karius obviously can't match the previous two.

In this season's Champions League final, Karius' two mistakes proved that he is not a top goalkeeper.

If it weren't for the outstanding performance of Sunshine at the end.

Liverpool may have missed the Champions League title because of these two mistakes.

therefore.

Karius must be replaced.

"Except for the goalkeeper, we don't need to make too many changes in other positions. The more critical position is the left back. We need a left back who can play as a starter. As for other positions, we can introduce some supplementary players. It doesn't need to be too expensive."

Eduardo nodded.

"A goalkeeper, a left back, and a few substitutes. I think a budget of 200 million should be enough!"

Eduardo said.

Klopp was a little surprised.

Two hundred million?
That is indeed enough.

Eduardo smiled and said: "We will have a stronger team next season."

Klopp smiled.

He took out his cell phone.

Open Sunshine’s Twitter.

"See? We just walked to the bottom of another hill."

In that cartoon.

Premier League and Champions League trophies.
