Revive Liverpool

Chapter 304 Coach
Speaking of the "UEFA Financial Fair Play Act", let's talk about how Lampard's transfer bypassed the Financial Fair Play Act.

Although fans pay more attention to the team's compliance with the Financial Fair Play Act on the team's transfer fee, of course, the salary of the players is actually a big part of the team's consumption, even more than the transfer fee.

Taking Manchester City as an example, from the capital injection of the Abu Dhabi consortium to the present, the total annual salary has more than doubled the transfer fee.

Moreover, the Financial Fair Play Act also has restrictions on the salary of the club, which must not exceed 70% of its total income.

This is roughly the salary cap in football.

However, the high-value sponsorship contract between Manchester City and Paris was reduced by UEFA due to "exceeding fair value", so Manchester City's work quota is obviously about to reach the salary cap.

Moreover, because of the violation of the Financial Fair Play Act, one of the penalties imposed by the Financial Fair Play Act on Manchester City this season is this: "The salary expenditure of the 2014-2015 season cannot exceed that of the 2013-2014 season."

Therefore, Manchester City's salary this season is very tight.

And because Lampard's free agency will not bring transfer fees.

However, its weekly salary of up to 19.5 pounds will still greatly increase the pressure on Manchester City to deal with FFP.

New York City, as Manchester City's non-European satellite club, bought Lampard at a high price and assumed the salary, while Manchester City used Lampard for free on loan.

Through this operation, Manchester City's wages have not increased, and they can pass UEFA's financial fairness review.

Either way, it's an unmitigated disservice to New York fans who have bought Lampard's jersey and more than 16000 season tickets.

From New York City FC's official website, MLS official website to ESPN's comment section, from Twitter to INS and other social media, fans vented their anger with words like "fraud" and "MLS joke" and collectively demanded jerseys and season tickets.

The impact of Lampard's incident on Gerrard is to make him more determined to retire after the end of this season.

It's not because he is worried that he will be loaned by a major league team in the United States to a top European league team. After all, such a thing requires the player's own consent.

So this is not something that Gerrard is worried about. Although Gerrard found out that he is actually the same as Lampard after communicating with Lampard, he still wants to continue to play in the top league and wants to challenge more.

But Gerrard thought about it and gave up. He didn't have Lampard's decisiveness. After winning his first Premier League title and becoming a hero of Liverpool, his desire to challenge himself also faded a lot.

Although this matter has been bothering Gerrard, but after hesitation, Gerrard chose to stay in Liverpool.

After deciding to stay in Liverpool, Gerrard also made plans for his future life.

After retiring, Carragher did not choose to stay in Liverpool to become a coach, but became a football commentator.

This profession is very suitable for him. You must know that he also has the title of "Big Voice", so becoming a commentator is really suitable for his personality.

But what about Gerrard?Judging from his personality, it is obvious that he is not a person who can be a football commentator.

He is a man of few words. If he wants to continue to engage in football-related careers after retiring, coaching may be a career he can consider.

For a retired football player, the only ones who can engage in football-related careers after retirement are commentators and coaches.

The rest of the profession is still somewhat difficult for football players.

They also have to relearn to master a skill.

(Of course, this item is generally only aimed at professional players, but there are players who have saved too much money after their careers are over, but this is the scenario that many football players will face.)
It is also possible for some football players to be a boss, which requires their own family to have money or earn enough money in their careers.

Finally, in addition to these lucrative jobs, there is another job that these football players will choose to retire, and that is politics.

Generally, football players will probably enter UEFA and FIFA for many years after retiring.

But the one most worth mentioning is former AC Milan superstar Weah.

However, this route to politics is different from the regular route of ordinary football players after they retire, and it is also more legendary.

Although it is possible to go from CCTV5 to CCTV1, deeds like Weah's are more legendary.

And Gerrard chose a coach among these occupations, and Liverpool was also very happy to hand over a youth team to Gerrard for training.

Although Gerrard will be the head coach, professional coaches are still responsible for the youth training of these young players.

What Gerrard can do is to conduct on-the-spot command and team tactical arrangements.

And because the tactical arrangement of the youth team is generally the same as that of the first team, Gerrard has little effect on the tactical arrangement of the team. On-the-spot command during the game is his biggest job.

……

Back to the match between Liverpool and Leicester City.

Because Gerrard has just announced that he will retire after the end of the season, Klopp made Gerrard start in this game.

In the following Liverpool games, Klopp will also increase Gerrard's playing time a little.

After all, there may be a lot of Liverpool fans watching the game just to see Gerrard in the Liverpool game after this.

Take a look at their former captain.

And if Klopp doesn't give Gerrard some playing time, wouldn't it be meaningless for the fans to come here?
In the 16th minute, Morgan blocked Sterling's low pass after he was offside. The referee whistled and awarded Morgan with a handball. Liverpool won a penalty.

Slow motion showed that the ball seemed to hit Morgan's head, so the result of the referee's penalty is open to question.

But as Liverpool's first penalty shooter, Gerrard is ready to take the penalty kick.

Subsequently, Gerrard took a penalty kick and won it overnight, one to zero!Liverpool take the lead!

In the 39th minute, Liverpool scored another penalty.Coutinho dribbled continuously from the left and made a pass. The ball hit Simpson's arm, and the referee again awarded a penalty.

Gerrard took the penalty again, and the ball hit the bottom left corner into the net, [-]-[-]!
Gerrard scored twice from the penalty spot in this game.

The first half started [-]-[-], Gerrard scored twice, everything was perfect.

But in the second half, the situation changed suddenly.
