Chapter 236 Do you want to come to Liverpool?
Although Anfield has a rich history, it cannot be concealed that Anfield is still an old stadium. Even after several renovations, it still cannot be compared with a modern stadium.
When Arsenal set up a project to build a new stadium, they really envied them, but there is no way, Anfield is not bad, and there is not much need to build a new stadium, so the financial pressure on the club is too great.
But a League One team like Notts County is about to have its own modern stadium, which makes Liverpool extremely resentful.
Hundreds of millions of pounds!
Liverpool really can't get it out!
Even if you sell all the players, you can't sell them for this price!
So they can only envy now.
"Hey, no matter how good the stadium is, it's useless if the team is not strong. Even if an amateur team has a modern stadium with 8 people, they can only fly kites in it, which is meaningless!"
This is what the Liverpool players comforted themselves, although it sounds sour.
When the two sides were warming up on the field, Gerrard watched the opposite Notts County training a little absent-mindedly, his eyes always focused on one person.
The person Gerrard focused on was Alonso.
As Liverpool's banner mission, Gerrard has never been considered by Liverpool in his mind.
In recent seasons, Liverpool's performance has gone from bad to worse. Don't look at winning a five-time crown that sounds good, but it cannot conceal the fact that the Red Army's competitiveness has declined.
Looking at the current staffing of the team, although it is considered good in the Premier League, apart from himself and Irving, which player is worthy of the status of a giant!
This is no longer a simple problem!
Since Notts County's rise to fame in England, Gerrard has often followed this magical team for no other reason than to observe Alonso's performance.
In the Premier League, which does not pay attention to rhythm control, Alonso, a controlling technical midfielder, has been well received. His excellent scheduling ability and relatively mature rhythm control are what the current Premier League teams lack.
If a player of Alonso's type can come to Liverpool to help him, will Liverpool's midfield be much stronger?
Imagine, the B2B self, the organizational Alonso, plus the defensive Hamann, the three together are enough to dominate the midfield, even facing the Manchester United midfielder led by Keane and the Arsenal midfielder led by Vieira. Will not be left behind.
In this way, will Liverpool's competitiveness rise sharply, and may it get involved in the Premier League championship trophy that has never been won?
Gerald couldn't help looking forward to it.
When the players from both sides returned to the locker room after warming up, Gerrard deliberately delayed a little, moved to Alonso, and greeted generously.
"Hello, Harvey!"
Alonso was a little baffled, he didn't know why Gerrard came to him at this time, was it just to say hello?
Smiling and nodding, Alonso felt it was better not to say too much, even if it would be impolite.
"Please forgive me for being direct, what I want to ask is, do you have any idea of joining Liverpool?" Seeing that Alonso didn't seem interested in chatting with himself, he quickly asked his own question.
Brother Long was taken aback, stopped in his tracks, looked at Gerald in surprise, and didn't react for a while.
Usually it is the club's business to invite players. Why did a player from the other side invite me?
"I'm sorry, I have no idea of joining Liverpool. I'm doing well in Notts County!" After politely rejecting Gerrard, Alonso wanted to hurry back to the dressing room, and Loew still had to give a pre-match speech. , as the captain, he can't be late.
Seeing that Alonso directly refused, Gerrard was a little anxious, "Please believe me, if you can come to Liverpool, then we will be able to create the most powerful midfield combination immediately, and the Premier League title and the Champions League title will become possible. Do you want to create brilliance and miracles with us?"
Alonso stopped again, turned his head, and stared at Gerrard calmly.
create a miracle?
I am very interested!
But sorry!
I've done wonders with my team-mates in Notts County!
So, wealthy, I am not rare!
It is destined that one day, Notts County will also become a wealthy family!
Seeing Gerrard's expectant gaze and expression, Alonso smiled and shook his head, turned and walked into the player tunnel, leaving behind Gerrard who couldn't hide his disappointed expression.
"What did you talk to him about? I think you seem very disappointed!" Owen asked Gerrard in a low voice just after entering the locker room.
Gerrard shook his head with a wry smile, and said with regret: "I was just now inviting Alonso to join our Liverpool, so that our midfield will be stronger and we will have a chance to challenge for the championship, but I was rejected!"
Owen was a little surprised. Although the two have been friends since the youth team, and both are talented players from the Liverpool youth training camp, it seems that Gerrard's Red Army genes have always been purer, and it can be seen from this. The game is about to come, and it is a bit unimaginable to invite opponent players to join the Red Army.
"Alonso? Is that the organizational midfielder in the Notts County team? Well, this player is indeed very capable, and this kind of controlling player is indeed rare in the Premier League. What you did was right. Yes, if he can really come, I think our strength will be improved to a higher level!"
After pondering for a while, Owen said affirmatively.
Not only because Alonso is an organizational midfielder, Owen has to think more.
In the England national team, the reason why Owen can often score single-handed goals for thousands of miles to the meeting is because behind him there is a Beckham who can deliver shells for him and has extremely accurate long passes.
And Alonso is also a player with long pass skills. In the transition between offense and defense, he can even directly find the forward players with long passes without scheduling. In this way, wouldn't his speed be even greater? Play space!
But Gerrard has already said that Alonso refused, which made him quite disappointed.
Well, well, since Alonso is not willing to come, then we will defeat Notts County cleanly in this game to show the strength of the Red Army. Perhaps Alonso will be impressed by Liverpool's strong strength, Crying and shouting to come to Liverpool to play football!
I have to say that Owen is still very imaginative.
However, both Gerrard and Owen ignored the fact that how much salary Alonso got in Notts County.
If they knew that Alonso's salary was a bit higher than the two of them, I'm afraid they would be so indifferent!
