Born to be a coach [soccer]

Chapter 122

According to Sir Dalglish, after watching the game against Birmingham City, he couldn't sleep at night.In the end, for the sake of his health, his wife Marina took him out to relax, so the two drove together and traveled aimlessly in England.

When they arrived in Newcastle, the "King" suddenly remembered that Sunderland was nearby, so Marina drove Dalglish here.

The King of Liverpool is a well-known figure. When he came to Guangming Academy, the front desk didn't dare to stop him. He hurriedly invited him into the reception room, and the other side rushed to inform Anton.

Anton, accompanied by Martin, came to the reception room together.He made a cup of tea himself, handed it to the king, and asked in a low voice, "How are you today?"

Dalgliesh shook his head blankly, then took a sip of tea, then raised his head to stare at Anton, his whole body seemed quite sober.

"Is it the debt maturity date?" Anton asked softly.

Anton had already had a premonition: because in the virtual world of "Green Life", he had suddenly encountered a crisis of the club's "salary arrears".

But since it is a "mirror image" task, this must be the deterioration of Liverpool's financial situation in reality, which is "reflected" in the virtual world.

Dalglish nodded: "They talked to the bank about the extension of the loan, but the negotiation broke down. The bank asked them to provide part of the shareholder's loan to ease the debt pressure, otherwise Liverpool will be declared bankrupt and liquidated..."

Originally, Martin was at a loss when he heard Anton's question, but Dalglish's extremely brief explanation instantly made Martin understand: "You...you mean that the shareholders of Liverpool do not agree to provide shareholder loans?"

Dalgliesh nodded absently.

It was the first time Martin heard about the inside story of "Two Bears of Blood". At this time, his eyes were full of disbelief, and he exclaimed, "Isn't this... the legendary... one hairless?"

The king lowered his head, and at this moment, he seemed extremely regretful: If he knew this, before the board of directors convened three years ago, he would definitely work with all shareholders to stop this transaction with all his strength.It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in this world.

Anton said at this time: "To prevent Liverpool from entering the liquidation process, there is another way..."

Before he finished speaking, Dalglish continued: "I have already discussed with the bank."

Martin looked around: he was still a little dizzy, Anton and Dalglish only spoke half of what they were talking about, he... couldn't understand!

At this time, the king turned his head slightly, looked at the dizzy Martin, and explained clearly: "Mr. Bain, please forgive me for not explaining in advance, I am from Scotland, and the relationship with the Royal Bank of Scotland is not bad. During the crisis, the bank asked me many times to actively mediate and find a solution."

"But the problem is that the FA has already expressed its attitude. If the Royal Bank of Scotland uses equity to offset debts and acquire shares in the club, Liverpool will be deducted 9 league points."

This is what Anton did not expect.

A mid-level team in the Premier League only scored [-] or so points in a whole season, and the impact of being deducted from the league points is too great. It is impossible to guarantee that Liverpool will not fall into the relegation zone this season-this is full of history for this team. For Glory's veteran giants, it was unacceptable.

"I've been thinking about it this morning," Dalglish said, suddenly gave a wry smile, and sighed in a low voice, "If the team now has 9 points that can be deducted, it's a good thing..."

After four rounds of the league, Liverpool has one win, one draw and two losses, accumulating 4 points. If 9 points are deducted, it will immediately become negative.This is simply unheard of.

What Dalglish complained about was not only the "two bears of blood", but also Hodgson, who was outdated in tactics, unable to motivate players, and was throwing the blame everywhere.

As soon as Anton thought about it, he told Dalglish: "These are two issues, one is the club's financial issue, and the other is the team's performance issue. They should not be confused. The most urgent task for the club now is to urge the owner to negotiate with potential buyers. , the team can avoid this penalty only if a new buyer takes over immediately and agrees to use shareholder loans to repay debts that are due soon."

Dalglish said with a sigh: "The team has received an offer, but the two major shareholders are still dying. They disagree with the price that the club chairman Sir Brighton and the 'Transfer Committee' have communicated with potential buyers, and Threatened to take the whole board to court. But in my opinion, that price is too cheap for those two guys."

Anton thought for a while and said, "In my opinion, Gillette and Hicks are both businessmen, they only chase immediate profits, and they will leave as soon as their psychological price is reached. Now this kind of threat sounds more like leaving. I threatened to make more money before, hoping to get more money, even if I can't get it, I will make everyone sick..."

Dalglish reached out and took a heavy shot on the table: "That's right!"

"King" said that he was almost disgusted.

"I suggest that you don't worry too much about this part of the work and hand it over to the club's legal department. You have to believe that the club's legal staff will be more experienced than the American lawyers of the American owners for British laws and courts... ..." Anton comforted Dalglish.

Dalglish stared at Anton, and suddenly asked: "But the potential buyers... are also Americans! Anton, I think you should know each other!"

Anton understood that what the king in front of him was worried about was that Liverpool had just left the "bear" den and entered the wolf's den.He had no choice but to tell the truth: "Mr. Dalglish, the potential buyer...in fact, you and I both know each other."

Dalgliesh was stunned: Even I...know him?

Anton nodded: "I can assure you that this buyer will not only pursue the immediate short-term interests like 'Two Bears', but the current buyer will focus on long-term interests. After it takes over, its primary goal will be It's the renaissance of the team."

Dalglish probably heard this kind of words too much, so he immediately asked: "How can you see that?"

Anton rolled his eyes slightly, and said, "Because this buyer once invested in the development of the best football management simulation game in the world. This game has been in development for two years, and there is no prospect of listing it. But This buyer is not in a hurry, and only hopes that the developer can make this game perfect, and once it is released, it will shock the world."

Dalglish immediately understood: Sure enough, both Player A and Player K know each other—the developer of the "Green Life" simulator is indeed the current potential buyer of Liverpool—the game development company under Starway Group. .

Thinking of this, the expression of "King" really relaxed.Anton's simple words had already moved him.

Anton comforted Dalglish, but changed the subject and asked softly: "Let's look at the team's performance again. I heard that you accepted the position of head coach of the Liverpool club's youth training team some time ago?"

As soon as he heard the word "coach", Dalglish frowned and nodded slightly.Martin sitting beside him pricked up his ears.

"In your opinion, if you take over the team from Hodgson, it will definitely inspire the fighting spirit of the whole team in the short term." Anton expressed his wishes.

Dalgliesh looked up at Anton, but said nothing.He only looked at the young man with a very high EQ in front of him quietly for a while.Martin next to him was suddenly blessed, and when he realized it, he instinctively wanted to turn around and hug Anton's arm beside him:

—Hold on to my head coach!

Anton knew that Dalgliesh still had that thought in his mind, so he first opened his mouth to block the "king"'s words-at this point in time, Anton would never abandon Sunderland and come forward to save Liverpool.

Thinking of this, Anton suddenly felt guilty towards the "King": I don't know if it was because he performed so well in "Life in the Greenery" that Dalglish placed such high hopes on him.But virtual and reality should not be confused after all.Simulator - just a virtual means to fulfill one's wishes.

That's why he urged Dalglish to take that step bravely, take over Liverpool and turn the tide.He believes that the other party can do it.

"Just four rounds of the league, it's too early to say these things now..." After a while, Dalglish said, "It's not fair to Roy to change the coach now." Roy is Hodgson's name .

Although he can't understand Hodgson's tactical command methods and various comments, Dalglish still strives to be fair and said something fair for Hodgson-four rounds of the league requires the team to reach the expected state, that is really a head coach This position is a plug and play electrical plug.

Martin heaved a long sigh of relief beside him. He kind of felt Anton's mood when he heard that Ferguson came to inspect Henderson this summer.

At this moment, the lost Dalglish took out his mobile phone from his pocket, "Both, I'm sorry, my wife is probably worried about me."

Upon receiving Marina's call, the "King"'s complexion softened immediately, and he turned aside to answer the phone in a soft voice.Leaving Martin and Anton behind, Martin secretly stuck out his tongue at Anton, and then patted his heart.

At that moment Dalglish hung up the phone: "My wife came to pick me up, I'm going back to Liverpool. Anton, thank you for listening to me. You must know that these words can be uttered quickly, which is really better than any medicine." Works."

Dalglish, who had confided his heart to Anton, regained his spirit at this time: "Liverpool's problems must be solved by the Liverpool people themselves." He shook hands with Anton heavily: "Thank you, Anton. You said I have remembered everything I said about Starway Group, and I will make the board of directors meet with the boss of Starway... In terms of law, I will also try my best to persuade them to use the best people at all costs!"

"As for this season," the king's eyes were full of light when he mentioned the football game this season, "I hope to have the opportunity to compete head-on with the black cat!"

When Dalglish left and left, Martin's eyes lit up with excitement: "Anton, Anton, I didn't expect you to reject the 'king' of Liverpool, you are the one who rejected the king—"

Anton thought to himself: But this is not the first time.

He pleaded guilty to Martin: "I still need to make a phone call."

In the next phone call, Anton disclosed to his friends in the United States the threat of a lawsuit by the "bloody two bears" and raised the issue of the conflict and jurisdiction between the British acquisition process and American law.After hanging up the phone, Anton let out a long sigh of relief:

If all goes well, it won't be long before his team in "Life in the Green" will no longer have to face the problem of wage arrears.
