Gregory van der Wiel was once the target of many wealthy clubs, such as Inter Milan, AC Milan, and several Premier League teams. Before the South Africa World Cup, there were also heated rumors about a transfer between him and Barcelona.

But none of these ultimately materialized.

He chose to stay at Ajax.

Of course, by this summer, Ajax themselves knew that they could no longer keep this mainstay right-back of the Dutch national team.

Transfer rumors about him flew everywhere.

Many clubs expressed great interest in van der Wiel.

In the end, van der Wiel's personal wishes became the key.

His favorite team was Barcelona. Alves was his idol, but reason told him that if he went to Barcelona, he would face a situation where he had no playing time. Because in the right-back position, Alves was the absolute starter, and he certainly couldn't compete with his idol.

So going to Barcelona now was definitely not a good idea. What he needed now was a team that could give him more playing opportunities, and also have the opportunity to participate in Europe's top competition – the European Champions League. Preferably in one of the traditional Big Four leagues, such as the Premier League, Serie A, La Liga, and the Bundesliga.

In addition to that, of course, they also had to meet his personal salary requirements.

Nyang's method of attracting people to join the team was very simple – first, settle the club where the player was with the most appropriate price, and then start listing several reasons why the player had no choice but to choose Liverpool. Such as… Liverpool is a traditional powerhouse, and its reputation is definitely more attractive than the likes of Hamburg and Valencia. In addition, although Liverpool had been relatively颓废 (tuifei - decadent) in the previous few years, just like 打酱油 (da jiang you - a bystander) in European football, they had been strongly recovering since last season. The future of this team can be expected, and also because it is starting to recover, it needs to supplement players with strength in multiple positions. As long as you have strength, you don't have to worry about not having games to play. Third, naturally, playing the star card, Liverpool currently has Steven Gerrard, Chen Hero, Luis Suarez, Alexis Sanchez and Gareth Bale, these are all well-known figures in world football, especially Chen Hero, he is almost a guarantee of the championship, wherever he goes, the championship follows. When he was in Zenit, Zenit won the league championship for two consecutive seasons and also won the UEFA Cup with a record. When he went to Napoli, Napoli changed from a promoted team to a kingly division that won the league championship and the Champions League. Now that he has come to Liverpool, he brought back the League Cup for Liverpool in the first season, and Liverpool won the Europa League in the second season. Chen Hero alone scored thirty goals and won the Golden Boot in the competition. So what are you still hesitating about? Follow Chen Hero, and you'll have a feast!

In order to enhance persuasiveness, Nyang also cited examples: "You see, Bale and Sanchez chose to join the team for this reason... Such a powerful full-back with such great assisting ability, isn't it like adding wings to a tiger when paired with Chen Hero?"

In fact, Nyang didn't know that Bale joined really because Chen Hero was in Liverpool, he was just making it up casually. Anyway, the other party can't run to Bale and Sanchez to confront him now. As long as he can convince van der Wiel in front of him, what does lying matter?

Hearing this, van der Wiel was tempted.

Chen Hero is so famous. Especially last season, he scored thirty goals in the Europa League! Such a performance has shocked the entire European football world. How could van der Wiel not know? Even Dutch media often mentioned Chen Hero's name.

Chen Hero scores so crazily, if he gets assists from himself, how many assist opportunities would he get!

With these assists, his position in the Dutch national team would be more stable!

And... the Premier League is said to be the world's number one football league. Although La Liga has Messi and Ronaldo, the other teams are not enough to watch. Even if he goes to Real Madrid and Barca, he may not be able to become the main player.

Liverpool is really a good choice. He has opportunities to play, and this team has the strength to win the championship. And Liverpool doesn't lack money...

When van der Wiel thought about it this way, there was simply no one more suitable for him than Liverpool!

So the two sides hit it off.

※※※

In the end, Liverpool announced the signing of van der Wiel for a price of twenty-eight million euros.

Completing the third acquisition of the season.

Right-back now has Glen Johnson and van der Wiel, for O'Neill, this is enough. Real Madrid only has two right-backs, Ramos and Arbeloa, and Ramos is often a center-back, right-back is basically Arbeloa, didn't they still win last season's Champions League and league championship?

So two high-level right-backs are enough.

The problem now is to find a suitable rotation player for José Enrique in the left-back position.

When Bale debuted, he played as a left-back, but he couldn't always play well as a left-back. Although he had talent, his expression was not satisfactory. Finally, under Harry Redknapp, he was transformed into a left winger and left winger, and that's how he made it.

Therefore, Bale cannot be regarded as a left-back. A left-back still needs to be found.

However, the whole world is looking for excellent left-backs, so good players in this position are not easy to find.

Therefore, Nyang is not in a hurry. She thinks that Liverpool's current lineup is already very strong, especially the joining of Şahin and Bale, which makes up for the team's shortcomings.

This team should be able to compete for the league title and officially launch a challenge to their deadly enemy, Manchester United.

This summer, Liverpool mainly bought these three players, and at the same time retrieved Shelvey, who had been on loan from outside. This season, this talented young man, who was once highly anticipated, will follow the first team to play in the Premier League. Martin O'Neill hopes that he can learn a lot from it, after all, Shelvey's talent is recognized by everyone.

In addition, this summer, Liverpool did not clean up the original players, which also guaranteed the stability of the lineup and the stability of the people.

This was a decision made by Martin O'Neill after discussing with Nyang, and he also told the players at the beginning of the season's training camp.

This season, although Liverpool flew around to play games, the overall preparation plan was still very targeted.

Chen Hero officially lifted his header seal at the end of last season, after which O'Neill asked him if he would suddenly not use headers again, Chen Hero shook his head and said that such a thing would not happen again. Because his right foot shooting ability is already much stronger than before, he is now working hard to practice his left foot, which requires two powerful weapons.

O'Neill welcomes Chen Hero's decision.

Then Liverpool's tactics for the new season are very easy to determine - it's the wing! Wing! Except for the wing, it's still the wing!

Bale, Adam Johnson and Sanchez, these three outstanding wingers, will continuously transport shells to Chen Hero.

If Chen Hero is restricted by his opponents, O'Neill is not afraid, because he also has talented players like Suarez, as well as Gerrard.

Among them, Chen Hero's header will be made to Gerrard, and Gerrard's long-range shot is also the offensive routine that O'Neill focused on practicing this summer.

Today's Liverpool, in terms of offense, can already compete with the top European giants.

The problem lies only in defense, but this problem cannot be solved overnight.

O'Neill's idea is to use a powerful offense to suppress the opponent and not give the opponent too many opportunities to contact Liverpool's defense. In most games, they directly use goals to solve their opponents. The first thirty minutes of the game are very important for Liverpool. They must take the lead with at least one goal, so that the game will enter their rhythm.

Therefore, this Liverpool team will be very particular about efficiency and blitz tactics. Chen Hero is the best key to opening the opponent's door. As long as he is there, Liverpool has the hope of scoring first, forcing the opponent into a dead end, and allowing Liverpool to have more tactical flexibility.

So Liverpool's offensive tactics are all formulated around Chen Hero.

After two seasons, no one in the current Liverpool team will question this point anymore. Suarez, Chen Hero's biggest competitor at the beginning, has now become Chen Hero's good friend, and is willing to assist him. The others have nothing to say, if anyone is dissatisfied, it's simple, let him score seventy-five goals in a single season, if he can't complete it, then don't make any noise.

Of course, no one would be foolish enough to think that they can score more than seventy goals in a season like Hero and Messi, so naturally no one will question Chen Hero's tactical core position.

Everyone has reached a consensus - as long as they do their job well and follow Chen Hero, they will definitely not lack honors! Because Chen Hero has a natural hunger for honor, he seems to never be full.

Everyone doesn't have to worry about Chen Hero taking the championship and then retiring. When it comes to the championship, he has basically won all the honors that a professional player can get in the club, but look now, he is still hungry for those championships.

Gerrard is Liverpool's spiritual leader, but in fact Chen Hero is the power tower of this team, the source of power. He uses his hunger for the championship to lead the team to constantly launch冲击 (chong ji - attack) on the championship.

No wonder Dalglish wanted to hand over the captain's armband to him in the first place, and believed that he was the only one who could重新执起红军大旗 (chong xin zhi qi hong jun da qi - raise the Red Army banner again).

Although the coaching performance, Dalglish is not very satisfactory, but in finding a successor to Liverpool's spiritual leader, he still has unique insights.

Although his season at Liverpool was not good, Liverpool people should still thank their king for ultimately leaving such a valuable fortune for Liverpool.
