    (, second update, and one more) After defeating Everton, Liverpool had the longest winning streak in the club's history, which put great psychological pressure on its championship rivals Manchester United and Chelsea, and also put pressure on those who were preparing to acquire Liverpool.  Two Americans with great confidence.  As early as before the Merseyside Derby, the media broke the news that Liverpool's equity transfer had reached a verbal agreement. However, in fact, Morse, Gillette, and Hicks had no problems with the basic structure, but the details were still being negotiated.  After all, a ¡ê500 million deal is no small number.  However, Liverpool's victory in the derby made the two Americans quickly make up their minds, because at this moment, in everyone's eyes, Liverpool has a bright future. If they hesitate, there will be tycoons such as the Dubai Consortium to intervene.  They may not be able to buy Liverpool even if they pay more than 500 million pounds.  On the third day after the Merseyside derby, Liverpool officially announced the acquisition details to the stock exchange.  Gillett and Hicks successfully purchased 62.2% of the shares and became the club's largest shareholders on the premise that each of them contributed 50% of the capital investment.  Other large and small shareholders, including Morgan, which had previously made an application for acquisition, still have 21 days to respond to the Americans' invitation to acquire the remaining shares.  However, if American United successfully purchases 90% of the shares, it will have the right to forcefully purchase other shares and become the sole controlling shareholder.  The Premier League Liverpool Club announced on its official website, ¡°The club¡¯s board of directors has approved the acquisition plan by American sports tycoons George Gillett and Tom Hicks. The total transaction value will reach 500 million pounds, of which 2.5 billion will be used to purchase Liverpool.¡±  The remaining ¡ê215 million will be spent on the construction of Liverpool's new stadium and the repayment of the club's debt. I believe this will be a great step forward for Liverpool, its shareholders and all fans."  Gillette and Hicks were very excited about this successful acquisition. They also held a press conference on Tuesday afternoon local time. Gillette held a Liverpool scarf and issued a statement on the acquisition of Liverpool: "Starting today, Liverpool has opened a new chapter.  "Liverpool is a great club with a very glorious history and a very passionate fan base. We know and appreciate the unique heritage and rich history of this club and we will learn more about it in the days to come."  "Respecting the legacy of Liverpool, Moores and Rick Barry will continue to play a role in building the club. For us, the continuity and stability of the club are key to its future success."  Moores expressed his support for the American's takeover, saying: "This club is my motivation and it is a very important part of my life. After a series of careful considerations, I have agreed to transfer my shares in the club.  This investment (the acquisition of Liverpool by an American tycoon) requires my help in selling my shares. This investment will solve the problems of Liverpool's new stadium and team construction. I hope that other shareholders of the club can support this acquisition like me, because this (completed).  Club transfer), we can bring Liverpool back to its former peak." After the successful acquisition of Liverpool, Gillette and Hicks did not leave England immediately to return to the United States, but first went to Melwood to visit Liverpool's coaches and coaches.  Players, for a club, are their soul. Gillette and Hicks want their investment to appreciate, and gaining the trust and support of players and coaches is the most basic condition.  England is a country with a particularly developed media. The news that Gillette and Hicks were coming to Melwood spread early. There were many fans waiting outside the Melwood training base, waiting to meet the two American bosses.  .  These fans are of course not fans of the two American owners. They are all die-hard fans of Liverpool. They have many questions about this acquisition and hope to ask Gillette and Hicks in person.  When the Rolls-Royce of the two American owners arrived at Melwood, more than a dozen members of the Soul of Shankly fans group stopped their car.  Gillette and Hicks were not displeased by this. In order to show their people-friendly attitude, they asked the driver to drive away. While walking, they communicated with the chairman of the Shankly Soul Fans Organization.  The Soul of Shankly fan organization is not simple. They have a right-wing color and can even influence some of the club's plans and decisions to a certain extent. Their leader McKenna is the organizer of this fan organization and is also a loyal supporter of Liverpool and Shankly.  , he came to see Gillette and Hicks today, mainly to ask about the stadium and tickets. In addition, he also wanted to know when the two owners could bring Liverpool the first Premier League championship.  Gillette said with a smile: "Dear McKenna, I know that all Liverpool fans do not want to share the same stadium with Everton. I am also a Liverpool fan. I can guarantee that the new stadium will definitely belong to Liverpool. Everton  No one will get involved.  " McKenna said: "Thank you Mr. Gillette, thank you Mr. Hicks. I also want to know whether the new stadium will retain the name Anfield. Although the naming rights of the stadium are very valuable, the significance of this name cannot be measured by money.  , we hope to keep the Anfield name.  " Gillette smiled and said: "If selling the naming rights of the new stadium is enough to buy a world superstar like Chen Yu, of course I will consider doing so.  But it seems impossible now, so this is not yet on our schedule.  " McKenna did not dwell on this issue. He said: "Well, since the club is not ready to change the name Anfield yet, then I won't say more. I just want to remind you that the name Anfield  The significance may be more than you imagine. In addition, fans also want to know whether the ticket prices will be outrageous after the new stadium is built.  " Gillette smiled and said: "The operating costs of the new stadium will increase significantly compared to the past, which is likely to be ultimately reflected in the price of tickets.  This is a situation that is inevitable, but don¡¯t forget that fans can get a completely new experience in the new stadium from the past, I have no doubt about it.  Currently, the club's ticket prices only have two prices, and we plan to introduce more price levels in the future to give fans more choices.  Personally, I will definitely work hard to make every ordinary family able to watch Liverpool games in the new stadium.  "Hicks, who had been silent, said: "McKenna, I understand what you mean. You are worried that we will be like Manchester United's Glazer, but fans please rest assured that we have not borrowed money from banks.  Completed the acquisition, in the process of acquiring the club, we did not add any debt to the club. This is the biggest difference between us and Glazer.  To be honest, I'm not too concerned about Liverpool's financial situation.  I focus more on whether I can help the team win more wins, rather than whether I can squeeze milk out of here.  " McKenna finally showed a smile on his face, "Thank you both, I have one last question. This is also a question that fans who like Liverpool all over the world want to know, that is, when can we win the first place in the Premier League?  league championship.  "Hicks said: "Liverpool is not far away from becoming the best club in the world. It has every opportunity to become a dominant team. This is exactly what we need to pursue in the future.  As for the specific time, I can't guarantee it. It may be this season, or it may not be until a few years later, but one thing is certain, we will definitely win the championship, and we will work hard to provide Rafa and the players with all the resources they need to help Liverpool.  Overtake Manchester United and Chelsea as soon as possible and regain the glory of the year.  " McKenna was very satisfied with this conversation. Seeing that he was almost at the office building, he smiled and said: "Two gentlemen, I have finished asking my questions. Your answers make us very happy. On behalf of the fans of Shankly Soul,  Thank you to the fans of Liverpool. We will cheer for the team at the stadium and we will buy Liverpool products, but we will also see how you fulfill your commitments.  " McKenna finished speaking and dispersed with the fans. Hicks and Gillette looked at each other meaningfully, turned around and strode into Melwood's office building. In Benitez's office,  Chen Yu was talking to Benitez about the game the day after tomorrow. During the derby, Chen Yu played as a shadow forward, which worked very well, but this time Benitez also planned to play Chen Yu on the wing to create opportunities. Chen Yu  Come over and prepare to communicate with Benitez because he prefers to be in the middle, but before Chen Yu gets into the topic, Benitez Hicks and Gillette have already known it.  The two bosses were coming, but I didn¡¯t expect them to come so early. They arrived before the training started. ¡°Hello, Mr. Gillette, Mr. Hicks.  "Chen Yu stood up and said hello to the two American bosses, and then said to Benitez: "Coach, I'll go back first, you guys can talk.  " Gillette looked Chen Yu up and down several times and said, "It's Chen, right? You don't need to leave. I'm just here to meet you and chat about home affairs. There's nothing serious. Hicks and I have wanted to see you for a long time.  Just sit down and have a chat.  "Hicks also smiled and said: "Exactly, I also want to see up close what a forward who scored 19 goals in 13 rounds and led the team to 13 consecutive victories looks like.  " Chen Yu smiled and said: "One nose and two eyes, except for the black spots on the hair and yellow spots on the skin.  "With that said, Chen Yu returned to the sofa and sat down at the warm invitation of the two bosses to see what the two bosses' intentions were today.
