Liverpool did not treat Willard badly, the salary was calculated in pounds. Converted to euros, it would be around 7 million euros, which is only 1 million less than Paris Saint-Germain. The sincerity is very high.
Perhaps this is also related to the fact that Liverpool has not been able to win the Premier League championship for many years and has an increasing demand for the Premier League championship. Coupled with competition from other teams, Liverpool has offered a very competitive salary.
The salary is sufficient, and with a talent like Klopp ready to use him as the core of the team to tailor free agent tactics, Willard has no reason to refuse, even if he did not initially consider Liverpool.
Because Liverpool directly used liquidated damages to take away Velarde, they didn’t need to worry about what the Hurricanes thought. On January 1, 2016, when Velarde’s liquidated damages clause came into effect, they could just pay 50 million to the Hurricanes. .
Klopp asked Willard to deal with his personal affairs in Argentina as soon as possible, move here quickly, settle down, and then join the team's daily training. After the official transfer on January 1 next year, he can directly participate in the game.
Willard is naturally impatient. He is eager to join Liverpool's training as soon as possible and start tactical training as a free agent as soon as possible. After the official transfer next year, he can lead Liverpool to victory as soon as he participates in the game.
Back in Argentina, Christina and others were on vacation from school. They all helped Velard pack his luggage and then flew to England to settle in his new home.
On December 19, after Krisina celebrated her 19th birthday, on December 22, Willard officially entered Liverpool's first-team training base, Melwood Base, and officially began training with the Liverpool first-team.
Before the training officially started, Klopp asked Velarde to introduce himself and then asked him to join the team. Then Klopp began to mobilize before today's daily training.
"We lost again in the last round, and we lost 0-3. It was a disastrous defeat."
"Although it is an away game, it has been proved that there are problems with our current lineup and tactics."
"I have informed you in advance that after Willard joins the team, new tactical training will be conducted with him as the core."
"Now I will tell you the specific tactics. After Willard joins the team, he will serve as a free agent with his abundant physical fitness and all-around offensive and defensive capabilities."
"Our formation will generally be fixed at 433. Velarde's playing position is central midfielder, but in the game, Velarde does not have a fixed position. He will go wherever there is need."
"From now on, we will begin to train total offense, total defense and high-position pressing tactics with Willard as the core of the free agent."
"Even though Willard will not be able to play until January 1 next year after he officially transfers to the team, we will still play with this formation during the Christmas games."
"You may not understand, but everyone must strictly implement my tactics and the training plan formulated by the coaching staff."
"Although there are more injured people now, if anyone dares to slack off, I don't mind letting him report to the reserve team."
As Klopp explained loudly and sternly, the players were a little surprised.
Although it has been hinted in advance, Willard will serve as the core of the team after joining the team. However, everyone does not know that Willard will play the free agent position.
Anyone in the football industry knows how high the requirements of free agents are. Although Velarde has shown a very versatile offensive and defensive strength in Argentina, can he really adapt to the free agent's style of play and requirements?
Everyone was skeptical.
But Klopp has just taken over the team, is in the honeymoon with the club's senior management, and has the courage to make the most of the new official. If anyone dares to disobey him and fail to implement tactics and training according to his requirements, I'm afraid he will end up badly.
As Klopp said, even if the team is full of injuries, he does not mind sending disobedient players to the bench or even the reserve team.
Then follow Klopp's request and start training to see what Willard is like.
Nothing much could be seen from the first day of training. Velarde just performed some basic adaptation training. After all, after more than a month of vacation, Willard also needs to adapt again.
But starting from the second day, everyone gradually discovered that Willard's strength was really beyond repair. The hexagonal warrior with a full attribute of 90 has almost no weaknesses. Whether on offense or defense, Velarde has shown extremely strong abilities, which shocked and impressed some players.
Of course, as a newcomer who has just joined the team, he has to serve as the core of the team. It is impossible to convince everyone, and he can only rely on competition.
As Willard enters Liverpool's training base and begins training with the new team, many Liverpool fans are full of expectations for Willard.
There are also comments in the media from time to time about whether Willard can adapt to the Premier League and whether he can integrate into Liverpool. But no one knows the positioning and tactical play of Willard as a free agent.
It is a pity that Willard has not officially transferred to Liverpool, the upper limit of attributes has not been unlocked, and the basic experience of daily training has been changed to the Premier League's starting price of 100,000. This means that the experience of starting a game or scoring a goal in a Premier League game will be as high as 1 million, and the experience of a European game will be as high as 10 million, which is the same as the national team game.
In the two games before New Year's Day, Liverpool had good luck, winning 1-0 in both games, and reached 7th place in the half-way points ranking.
On December 31st, Uruguayan authoritative media "El Nacional" announced the results of the selection of the 2015 South American Footballer of the Year. Alan Velarde won the 2015 South American Footballer of the Year as expected. The National newspaper will select another time for the Uruguayan Footballer of the Year. Ladd presented the award.
Velarde's performance in the 2015 Aerie A, Copa Libertadores, and Copa America earned him the South American Footballer of the Year award.
As the New Year bell rings, time officially enters January 1, 2016.
Velarde's liquidated damages clause at Hurricanes Athletics officially took effect. Liverpool brought Velarde from Hurricanes Athletics to Liverpool with a liquidated damages clause of US$50 million. Velarde officially became a member of the Red Army Liverpool.
"The time has entered 2016, the European winter transfer window has officially opened, and the high-profile transfer incident of Alan Willard has also come to an end."
"Argentinian star Alan Velarde has just won the honor of South American Footballer of the Year. The liquidated damages clause with the original club Atletico Huracán has also officially come into effect. The Red Army Liverpool directly took away Velarde with a liquidated damages of US$50 million."
"Villard has officially become a member of Liverpool, and other major clubs can only unfortunately pass by Willard."
"But whether Willard can adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League, whether he can adapt to European football, and whether he can fully demonstrate his strength in Argentina remains to be tested."
"Willard has been training with Liverpool for a few days."
"With only a few days of training, there may not be much gained. On January 2, Liverpool will challenge West Ham United in the 20th round of the Premier League. I don't know if Willard will get a chance to play."
"let us wait and see."
