Jay Spearing was the first to leave Liverpool in the new season.

His departure officially signaled the start of Liverpool's clear-out.

Nikola Kalinić followed closely behind. In fact, Kalinić still had a year left on his contract with Liverpool, but Liverpool allowed him to transfer for free. Because he didn't have to pay a transfer fee, his options would be wider, and at the same time, because he was getting the player for free, he would be able to get some compensation in terms of personal treatment.

Kalinić was very grateful for Liverpool's generous behavior. When he left Liverpool, he said that he would always be a supporter of Liverpool.

Then more and more Liverpool reserve team players left the team.

Evans, the center-back who had questioned Chen Hero at the beginning, chose to transfer to Nottingham Forest, the newly promoted Premier League team this season.

Forest had gone through all kinds of hardships before finally making it back to the Premier League. It was really not easy. Having returned to the Premier League, they naturally had to recruit troops and buy horses in a big way. The current Nottingham Forest has received funding from a Middle Eastern consortium and is no longer the dilapidated giant on the verge of bankruptcy it once was.

Buying an Evans for 1.5 million pounds is just a piece of cake for them.

The other players also had their own destinations.

Liverpool's clear-out is progressing smoothly.

Charlie Adam was the one that Nyon had to spend a little more effort on, because he wanted Charlie Adam to bring in more money for the team.

Liverpool is still spending more than they are earning this season.

The club has a new stadium construction project, so they are relatively tight when it comes to spending money. Therefore, they should try to lose as little as possible.

There are still many teams interested in Charlie Adam.

Including mid-table teams such as Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United.

So Nyon plans to take advantage of these teams.

That's right, Charlie Adam is a player we don't need, but we won't show that we are very eager. If you want to take Charlie Adam away, then show enough sincerity!

Anyway, he is not in a hurry.

Time flies, and by the time Chen Hero finished his busy business activities and returned to Liverpool, it was already the end of June.

Premier League teams have begun their training camps, and the players' vacations are over.

There are no major world competitions this year, so everyone doesn't have to wait until July to go on vacation.

The players who returned to Liverpool from all over the world met and talked about their vacation life, what they gained and what they saw.

Chen Hero is naturally the focus of the locker room.

Whether he is there or not, everyone's topic will always shift to him.

Everyone doesn't know how many commercial contracts he signed this summer, but everyone knows that he has successfully surpassed Messi and become the highest-paid player in football today.

Some people may feel that being on the same team as such an awesome player would be a lot of pressure.

However, the vast majority of Liverpool players don't think so.

When they saw Chen Hero, they clamored for him to treat them.

Especially Suarez. He even asked Chen Hero to treat them on the grounds that he had recovered from his injury and returned to the team.

Chen Hero never refuses such things as treating people to dinner.

He likes excitement, and treating people is not a financial burden for him, so he is happy to do things that bring people closer together.

And Suarez's recovery from injury is indeed something worth celebrating.

Before Christmas last season, Suarez tore his cruciate ligament and missed all the remaining games of the season. Liverpool's four championships had nothing to do with him.

When his teammates raised the trophy one after another, he could only be a spectator in front of the TV or in the stands of the stadium.

Now he is full of energy and wants to come back to prove himself and win championships for the team.

Although he has just recovered from his injury and there is still some time before he can really return to the field, at least he can train with the team, which is a remarkable improvement.

Martin O'Neill announced the team's goals for this season on the first day of the team's training camp.

"Our goal this season is... to win all the championships we can win and achieve the Seven Crown Championship!"

However, unlike the fussing reporters, these Liverpool players were not surprised.

After working with Chen Hero for several seasons, the Liverpool players have also been subtly influenced by Chen Hero.

Because Chen Hero has said various arrogant words countless times, but he has realized them every time.

At first, everyone was very surprised. But when they saw Chen Hero turning his "big words" into reality again and again, they gradually accepted this setting and no longer became easily alarmed.

They know better than those outside that no matter how incredible Chen Hero's words are, no matter how exaggerated the goals Chen Hero sets, he will definitely be able to complete them in the end.

In that case, why should we find it unbelievable?

Therefore, the players accepted the crazy Seven Crown Championship goal for this season without much doubt.

Yes, this goal seems more incredible, more exaggerated, and more unbelievable than any goal in the past.

But Chen Hero will definitely help them solve the problem.

As long as we have a hero, anything is possible.

Martin O'Neill didn't expect the players to accept this goal decision so easily.

But this is a good thing, so he doesn't have to waste his breath explaining, and so that everyone's hearts are not aligned.

Since everyone has accepted this goal, then it's easy. Just train hard and strive towards this goal.

So he clapped his hands: "Okay, guys. Since the goal is clear, then every step we take next must be thinking about this goal. The pre-season training may be very hard, and I hope you can persevere. I won't say that Liverpool's main lineup for the new season will be exactly the same as last season, I can only tell you that this month or so of pre-season training is very important. I will arrange your positions based on the state you show in training. Even someone like Hero, if his state is not good in training, he will have to be a substitute!"

Martin O'Neill pointed to Chen Hero.

Everyone laughed.

Chen Hero might be in bad shape? Isn't this a joke! Even when all of us are in bad shape, his state will not have any problems!

If even Chen Hero is in bad shape, it must be the end of the world!

Chen Hero himself was laughing, obviously he didn't believe that he might be in bad shape either.

Martin O'Neill himself didn't believe it either. He used Chen Hero as an example just to tell everyone his determination.

The capable go up, the incompetent go down.

This is his attitude.

He never wants the players to lie on their laurels from last season and sleep soundly. He must whip them. It is not okay to not give them a sense of urgency.

In fact, this season's pre-season training is very tense for Martin O'Neill.

Because the team is also going to Asia.

The team's financial situation is not as ideal as before, so in order to reduce the financial burden, they naturally need to go and make money.

Asia is a good place. The Premier League has a very high reputation in Southeast Asia, and Liverpool also has many loyal supporters there.

The club plans to take advantage of the momentum of winning the Four Crown Championship last season to pan for gold in East Asia and Southeast Asia.

The itinerary has been determined. There will be two games in China, one in Shanghai and one in Hong Kong. Then one in Singapore and one in Kuala Lumpur.

In a total of four games, Liverpool can earn a total of 10 million pounds in appearance fees from these four games.

This is just the appearance fee for four games.

Nyon, as the general manager of the club, has developed the team's means of making money to the fullest.

In addition to the games, every training session of Liverpool is open to the public, but tickets are sold for 200 yuan each. Even so, countless people are snapping them up, and scalpers have even炒 them up to a high price of 500 or 600 yuan per ticket.

The income from the training tickets is divided equally between Liverpool and the Chinese commercial competition operator. Optimistically, the training tickets alone can bring Liverpool an income of 1 million euros.

In addition, the situation is the same in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, where training tickets are sold to the public.

In addition to selling training tickets.

The Liverpool club also launched an activity called "Sparring with Superstars". As long as you pay, you can play a game on the field with superstars such as Chen Hero, Gerrard, Bale, Suarez, Sanchez, and Pepe.

This opportunity costs 500,000 yuan per person. People who pay for the qualification can put on jerseys and play football with Chen Hero and other players, enjoying themselves while also catching up with stars in a new way.

This trick is also considered unique. Because no club has ever done this when panning for gold. Playing football with world-class players and feeling the strength of the stars has always been just a fantasy for fans. But Nyon turned this matter into reality and charged money for it.

Some Chinese media criticized Liverpool for being crazy about money, but Nyon simply ignored their voices.

One is willing to pay and the other is willing to receive, so how can you say that Liverpool is drilling into the eyes of money?

You must know that many fans dream of playing with their idols, but they don't have this opportunity. They don't have this opportunity even if they have money.

Now Liverpool is providing this opportunity to them, so it is only natural to charge some money.

Liverpool has not forced them to spend.

Anyway, Nyon is really racking his brains to make money.

He doesn't care about the outside world's comments. If fame cannot be exchanged for money, then it is worthless. This is Nyon's philosophy.

Now that Liverpool has just won the Four Crown Championship, it is really the height of their popularity. At this time, coming to China and Southeast Asia to pan for gold may be able to make money.

Not only that, but he will come again next season when Liverpool wins the Seven Crown Championship. The next itinerary is estimated to include Japan as well, because the Japanese are also very rich...
