Chapter 576
“Of course, this is also a sport that tests your physical coordination and precision.”
"Many football and basketball players also like to play golf, such as my most famous crazy enthusiast Gareth Bale. I heard that Curry also likes to play golf and is quite good at it."
Barnett found it fun to think of Bale. Bale could even give up training time to play golf. If the club allowed, Bale would definitely hope to spend 24 hours out of 25 hours a day playing golf.
Barnett wanted Lin Chen to invest. Lin Chen's income was already very high now, but if the money was just left there, Lin Chen's expenses would eventually run out.
For example, the maintenance of a private sports car or a luxury home includes some additional expenses.
"I've asked around, and there are quite a few people who want to buy it, but as long as you want to buy it, I can guarantee that you can get the right to buy it."
"Its original owner wanted 68 pounds. I can help you negotiate it down to 60 pounds, but you will have to spend money to improve the surrounding facilities, including parking lots, snack shops, etc. The final estimated cost will not exceed 100 million pounds."
"If the benefits are good, it will take five years to get your money back. After five years, everything will be profitable. If you take into account your celebrity benefits, I estimate that it will take about three years to get your money back."
Barnett and Lin Chen were still discussing this matter during dinner. After listening to it, Lin Chen thought it was feasible and looked at Maria, who also nodded.
"No problem, I'll take it. If I lose money someday, you'll be responsible."
Lin Chen smiled and patted Barnett. Barnett always thought of him first when it came to good things like this.
The original owner had to move away from England for personal reasons, so he decided to sell it, and this opportunity was seized by Lin Chen.
Soon, 60 pounds were transferred to the former director's account. Lin Chen bought a golf course covering an area of about 100 square meters. At the same time, Lin Chen began to hire people to build a parking lot with parking spaces and four snack shops.
Lin Chen retained all the original employees of the golf course and increased their salaries by 10%. This move instantly won Lin Chen, the new owner, the support of all the original old employees!
As for the name of the golf course, Lin Chen directly named it after himself. Perhaps in the future Lin Chen will acquire a second or third one to create his own golf course chain!
After completing the acquisition of the golf course, Lin Chen immediately began preparing for the League Cup final.
On March 3th, Liverpool's second final of the season arrived, the Carabao Cup final against Chelsea. Chelsea was plagued by injuries, especially in the center position, and was very short of people!
Therefore, Chelsea fielded a small forward lineup in this final. The young Hudson-Odoi started on the left wing, William was still on the right, and Hazard replaced him as the center forward.
In the middle is Chelsea's new signing Jorginho, partnering with Kante and Kovacic!
The left back is Emerson, the central defenders are Rudiger and Christensen, the right back is Azpilicueta, and the goalkeeper is the young and handsome Kepa.
In the latest Spanish national team list, Kepa was selected as the third goalkeeper.
He had seen Lin Chen giving a speech like a big boss in the locker room. After returning to the club and seeing Lin Chen again, Kepa only hoped that his own defense line would not leave any shooting space for Lin Chen, because he knew how terrifying this guy was.
On the day of the final, the competition officially started at 8 pm England time.
Liverpool played with their strongest lineup. After the game started, Chelsea, who were plagued by injuries, took the initiative to play a defensive counterattack and did not have a strong desire to attack.
When attacking, Chelsea mostly chose to pass the ball on the ground, hoping to create opportunities from the ground using the breakthrough ability of the three small stars in the frontcourt.
Hazard, Odoi and William frequently tried to break through!
But apart from Hazard's one-on-one advantage, Hudson-Odoi and William did not get any good opportunities on the wing. Instead, Liverpool got more opportunities thanks to the excellent form of Salah and Mane.
The 18th minute of the game!
"Mane was in very good form in this game."
"Azpilicueta was passed!"
"Kante chased after the interception and collided with Mane!"
Mane was almost knocked down, but he withstood Kante's interception and then passed it to the middle.
"Firmino collided with Rudiger while trying to score!
"foul!"
"Firmino committed a foul in his attack. This time Firmino didn't touch the ball, and Rudiger's defense was very decisive!"
Rudiger has become an important member of Chelsea's defense, while his good partner David Luiz did not start.
Young Christensen started the game. Chelsea's new coach Sarri was impressed by Christensen's running ability.
"Chelsea recently got a new manager, with Sarri taking over after Conte left."
"Sarri is also one of the advocates of the passing and controlling tactics, but he has been trying to combine the pure passing and controlling tactics with his own new tactical concepts, which has also led to the fact that the passing and controlling characteristics of Sarri's team are not distinct enough!"
"It's strange. Do coaches who like to play passing and controlling the ball like to think of new football tactics themselves?"
"It was the same with Guardiola and it was the same with Cruyff in the past."
Scholes believes that Sarri's passing and controlling tactics are not obvious enough, which is also a point that Klopp wants to take advantage of in this game.
Chelsea's backcourt was indeed insisting on passing and controlling the ball. Sarri was chewing tobacco in his mouth and directing the players' passing routes.
Liverpool did not press high at the beginning, until Firmino was called for an offensive foul, Liverpool began to press, but it was not the high-pressure pressing that the fans were familiar with, but a completely new pressing tactic!
Chelsea players still insist on short passes, but they don’t know what new type of running and pressing they will face next!
After research, Klopp and his assistant coach prepared a new pressing tactic for Sarri's Chelsea!
Driving-type running and scrambling pressure!
