Chapter 152 Harvey. Alonso

Just as Don Jack is constantly 'working', the head coach Benitez is also busy.

The match between the warm-up match and the Italian team has not been shown much, but the match between the first round of the Premier League and Tottenham Hotspur has exposed many problems for the whole team, and now Benitez has to solve the biggest problem: the weakness of the midfield.

In the media's comments, the strongest Liverpool lineup is the defender line, and the weakest is the front line. There is not much mention of the midfield. But when Benitez came to Liverpool, he found that the team's midfield is really not very good. The most important problem is that Liverpool's midline is too defensive!

Looking at Liverpool's several midfield pillars, Cowell and Harman's offensive ability is really limited. Although Cowell is also a little famous, in fact, this guy's performance on the side is really not very good. He gives the team limited support in the attack. He seems to have performed well, but does not contribute much.

As for Harman, although the veteran is reassuring, the veteran is only experienced, but his performance is not good. Last season, Harman played 25 times in England, playing for a total of 2,215 minutes, but only scored two goals. This efficiency is really not flattering.

Liverpool can be said to be empty on the right side. In the last game, Fennan was pushed out to the right to play as a winger. Fennan was the main defender last season, but he came to play as a winger. Benitez is really unavailable.

In addition, the team's main central defender Jamie. Carragah is also very good at playing the back, but of course this guy is also better at defense... It is also for these reasons that the media and commentators think that Liverpool's defense is the most stable.

The only thing that is satisfied is Gerrard. Gerrard is the only player who can take a game in Liverpool. Whether it is offensive or defensive, his performance can be said to be the best. He is completely the soul of Liverpool. But football is a sport of eleven people, and it is still a little difficult for Gerrard to lead the whole midfielder alone.

At the top of the matter, Benitez feels that the most important thing for Liverpool at present is to find a middle attacker to replace Harman as a central defender. In this way, the team's formation is really stable. This central forward's shot can be bad, and there can be not many goals, but the passing ability must be outstanding, so as to give the front line and Gerard more shooting opportunities to ensure Liverpool's continuous energy to score.

He approved Harvey, who plays for La Liga Royale Sociedad. Alonso!

Harvey. Alonso was born in Tolosa, a small town in the coastal city of San Sebastian in northern Spain. He is only 23 years old this year. His father is a professional player who played for Real Sociedad and Barcelona.

Under the influence of this background, Alonso began to be exposed to football when he was young, and often went to the park with his brother to practice dribble and pass the ball. When he was a teenager, Alonso's calm personality and excellent skills doomed his potential to become a star.

After spending the first six years of his life in Barcelona, he moved back to San Sebastian and began to play for the LaConchabeach team in the city. Before signing a contract with the Royal Society with his brother, he started his career in Antiguoko.

In the 1999/2000 season, Alonso played for Real Sociedad for the first time. In this season, he made a total of 14 appearances. The following year, Alonso was loaned to the second division team Iba in the first half of the season. In January 2001, when Real Sociedad was in the relegation zone, the new head coach recalled former Liverpool star John-Toshack.

The 2002/2003 season was a turning point for Alonso's rise to become a star. He became a key figure in Real Sociedad, and with an excellent striker combination, he helped the team win the second place in La Liga, second only to Real Madrid, which was full of stars at that time. Previously, Real Sociedad could only struggle for relegation. He scored 8 goals in 34 games this season. Alonso is famous in La Liga for his superb skills, atmospheric midfield organization and extremely tricky shots.

In the next 2003-2004 Champions League, Alonso entered the Champions League for the first time and won the group's top 16 with 2 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss in the group matches with Juventus, Galatasaray and Olympiacos. However, in the 1/8 knockout match with Lyon, he lost 0:2 in two rounds and failed to go further.

It is definitely impossible for such an excellent player to stay in the club all the time. This summer, many big clubs have thrown olive branches to Alonso, such as Real Madrid and Manchester United. Unfortunately, his transfer has become a hot topic for a while. Unfortunately, these clubs are not ideal choices, and Real Madrid's offer of 7 million pounds makes the Royal Society feel insulted...

Originally, Harvey. Alonso has planned to stay at Real Sociedad this season. On August 17, Real Sociedad received a new transfer application from Liverpool in England.

Benitez has always been very concerned about Alonso's transfer. He saw the defeats of Real Madrid and Manchester United. In this way, the two teams failed to take Alonso from Real Socied. How could Liverpool take it away?

It requires sincerity!

I have to say that Benitez is still very charming. On the third day of the team's training, Benitez went directly to Spain and found Harvey directly with 'absolute sincerity'. Alonso himself. This made Don Jack roll his eyes, but he thought he could also look forward to it. After all, Benitez's approach was only for him and Alonso.

So, the strength of Alonso is worth affirming.

Fortunately, Liverpool and the Royal Society remained silent. The reporters did not receive the news. Benitez's 'home' trip was very smooth. No reporter harassed him. The two dated in a cafe. No one knew what Benitez and Alonso said, but the next day Aaron When the Spanish national team prepared for the friendly match against Venezuela on Wednesday,

Real Sociedad coach Amoritu was interviewed by reporters about Alonso's transfer deal, he said: "At present, Real Madrid has raised its offer, and Liverpool is also very sincere. We have not reached an agreement with any club. However, although the deal has not been concluded, it is not far from reaching it. This week we will prepare for the war without him, and we must start to adapt to the days without him.

The next day, Alonso insisted, "I never wanted to go to Real Madrid, which is the most prestigious club in Spain. I think I still have a long way from there..."

In fact, there is a reason for such a consideration. Real Madrid is chasing three strikers this summer, and Vieira's transfer has not been reached, but Owen has gone to Bernabeu. In the Real Madrid lineup, even Owen can't find a place. There are too many stars in their lineup, and the striker is even more It is congested. No media will think that Alonso will be a good choice to go to Real Madrid. After all, he is still very young and has great development potential. Although Liverpool is also half a giant, at least Liverpool needs him to increase the strength of the team, not to do business promotion.

Soon, Alonso's agent Ibanez confirmed: "Alonso is looking forward to the conclusion of the transfer deal, and he is paying close attention to the possibility of playing in the Premier League next season." Ibanez revealed that Liverpool has clearly reached the acquisition intention from Real Sociedad and Alonso himself, and Real Sociedad is studying Liverpool's bid, "I hope everything will be final in the next few days."

In the end, the two clubs negotiated the transfer value.

Alonso's contract with Real Sociedad is still three years left. Spanish media reported that Liverpool's offer reached 15 million euros, 3 million more than Real Madrid's original offer of 12 million euros. It is reported that Real Madrid may launch another acquisition of Alonso after failing to sign Vieira, which is one of the reasons why Liverpool's offer is much higher than Real Madrid's original bid.

"We don't talk about it in the past or in the future. For the present, Alonso does have the possibility of joining a great club like Liverpool." Ibanez is very confident in the deal. He said that as long as the two clubs can reach an agreement, there is no problem for Alonso and Liverpool to reach an agreement on personal treatment.
