Comain pondered as he walked. Suddenly, he stopped and turned to stare at Qin Xiong for a long time without saying a word.
Qin Xiong felt a little uncomfortable being stared at and asked, "What's wrong?"
Comain hesitated for a moment and said, "I think you can try to play as the left winger. In that case, you can switch between the two roles."
Qin Xiong's mind turned quickly and he blurted out, "The attacking midfielder and the cutting winger?"
Comain nodded. In fact, his thinking was like this. Since Qin Xiong used the elimination method, it was impossible for him to play as the center forward and steal Torres's position. He would not play better on the right flank than on the left flank.
That left the middle and the left flank.
Now Comain was not willing to make drastic changes to the team. The failure in Valencia made him learn from the painful experience. He could not change too much!
In this way, Qin Xiong would definitely be placed in the left winger position.
So along this line of thinking, who were the best star players in the left winger position in the past five years?
There was no doubt that it was Ronaldinho and Ronaldo!
And it just so happened that the two players played different roles in the left winger position.
Ronaldinho was the attacking midfielder and Ronaldo was the cutting winger.
Qin Xiong could not play two roles in one position at the same time, but Qin Xiong's ability to read the game allowed him to switch back and forth between the two roles. His technical ability was enough to support him to do so.
In this way, Liverpool's technical and tactical system for the new season was finalized.
The basic formation was 4-2-3-1.
This was the current mainstream.
It was also obvious how the players would be placed.
Goalkeeper: Reina.
Defenders: Johnson, Carragher, Skrtel, Aurelio.
Midfield double defensive midfielders: Alonso, Mascherano.
Forward line: Kuyt, Gerard, Qin Xiong.
Striker: Torres.
Comain was quite excited after this tactical system took shape in his mind.
He chatted with Qin Xiong for a long time. He felt that such a technical and tactical system could make Alonso and Qin Xiong become the core of the front and back field.
Once it was fully formed, it would be able to unleash a tremendous amount of power.
The attacking triangle would be Qin Xiong, Gerard, and Torres.
The defensive strength of the midfield would also be incomparably strong.
Qin Xiong, Gerard, Kuyt, Alonso, Mascherano.
He was already tough enough!
After finalizing the team's technical and tactical system, Comain's next job was to instill his technical and tactical concepts into the entire team.
Liverpool's promotional poster for the new season was displayed on the big screen outside Anfield Stadium.
The five star players were arranged in a V shape in the poster, wearing the Red Army's new home uniform for the new season, exuding a wild fighting spirit, as if declaring war on the whole of England!
In the middle was Qin Xiong, the two behind Qin Xiong were Gerard and Torres, and the last two were Alonso and Carragher.
By the time the warm-up game arrived, Liverpool's new season family photo was also taken at the Melwood Training Ground.
The Liverpool First Team squad list for the 2009-2010 season is attached.
Goalkeepers: Reina, Cavalieri, Itanje.
Defenders: Johnson, Degen, Carragher, Agger, Skrtel, Martin Kelly, Aurelio, Insua.
Midfielders: Mascherano, Lucas, Alonso, Qin Xiong, Riera, Benayoun, Gerard.
Strikers: Torres, Kuyt, Ngog, Babel.
A total of 22 players.
.....
Liverpool invited local teams for the pre-season friendlies. There were no Premier League level teams, only Middlesbrough, Crystal Palace, Derby County, and Watford from the English Football League Championship.
On average, there was a warm-up game every three days. Comain was inspecting the team and usually replaced most of the main players in the first half of the game to give the substitutes some opportunities to be on the field for inspection.
The main lineup had been confirmed, with Qin Xiong as the left winger. They did not go on a killing spree in the warm-up game. The whole team was operating slowly in accordance with the technical and tactical concepts required by Comain. It took some time to adapt, and it also took time for the players to accept the changes.
The team used more ground routes and cut routes to reduce the number of long passes that were held high. Koeman also requested that the passes from the flanks should be mainly made with 45-degree high passes only when there was a counterattack or a quick attack.
The team's new core in the front field was confirmed to be Qin Xiong. When the attack did not go well, the ball would be handed over to Qin Xiong. Qin Xiong's personal ability would be used to tear apart the opponent's defensive line and create opportunities. This was exactly what Ronaldinho did in Barcelona.
The team's performance in the warm-up games was getting better and better, and they maintained a winning record.
Benítez also injected some Spanish technical elements and concepts into Liverpool, but it was not completely confirmed. After Comain took over the team, the transformation was not difficult. At least the players could accept his ideas.
After the warm-up game on August 11, Comain felt that the adjustments to Liverpool had been done to the best of his ability.
Now, the curtains of the new Premier League season could only be drawn on August 17!
On August 13, Qin Xiong drove to Liverpool's Renault International Airport. After waiting anxiously outside the airport for a while, he saw Sylvia coming out with Qin Ye in her arms. Next to her was his brother-in-law, George, pushing the luggage trolley.
Qin Xiong rushed over and held Sylvia in his arms.
"I missed you guys so much that I'm going crazy!"
Sylvia did not care about being in public. She took the initiative to give Qin Xiong a kiss and then sent Qin Ye into Qin Xiong's arms.
"We'll never be separated for so long again!"
Qin Xiong nodded fiercely and carried the child into the car. After putting the luggage in the trunk, Qin Xiong drove his family to his new home in Liverpool.
Qin Xiong's new home was in a high-end community about three kilometers away from the Anfield Stadium.
Sylvia walked into the villa and began to exercise her power as the mistress of the house. She put some furnishings in places that she liked and redecorated the bedroom. She even put the curtains that she did not like on the list to be changed.
Qin Xiong did not care. Sylvia had always been the one to worry about family matters. He just hugged his son on the sofa and interacted with him happily. He held his little hand and kissed him from time to time …
After bringing his family to Liverpool to settle down, Qin Xiong was able to completely stop being distracted and focus on the competition.
At the same time, Liverpool F.C.'s strategic plan to open up the Asian market was officially launched.
Tang Le was the representative to sign a cooperation agreement with Liverpool F.C.. Liverpool souvenirs and jerseys would be sold in QX series clothing stores in more than 30 cities in China.
Within the next year, Qin Xiong's personal net worth soared to 2.2 billion yuan.
Liverpool, on the other hand, relied on the rich profits from the Asian market and market expectations to put the new stadium plan on the table in a year's time.
A new era for Liverpool officially arrived on the opening day of the new Premier League season on August 17, 2009!
