fat man who can't play football

Chapter 158 A gift from the new boss

Steve squirmed to Radrizzani's office at a speed that was almost moving, and was about to knock on the door.

Suddenly I saw Salerno walking out of the corridor on the other side with several boxes of information boxes in his arms.

Steve, who wanted to say hello, raised his hand and put it down again.

One emperor and one courtier.

Swallowing the words that were about to come out of his mouth, Steve gently knocked on the door of the office of the new owner of Leeds.

A crisp "Come in!"

Steve wanted to tidy up his collar, but found that he was wearing a collarless tracksuit today, so he had to pretend to pat the dust on his clothes.

After Steve entered the door, he took a good look at the new boss, an Italian with thick eyebrows and big eyes, with a gentle appearance, and a bright smile on his face at this time, showing his big white teeth.

Steve had to admit that if he didn't know what Radrizzani had done before, he would have thought that the other party was a gentle and elegant Confucian businessman at first glance, after all, the other party looked so harmless to humans and animals.

"Steve, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Congratulations, Leeds played another beautiful game."

"Thank you for your compliments, which should belong to the players."

Radrizzani kept smiling and raised his hand to signal the fat man to sit down.

"Steve, I talked to a lot of people on the team about you before I met you.

I have to say that whether it's David as the doorman or the data analyst whose name I can't remember now, they are full of praise for you.

David has been at the club for more than 40 years. He said that the last time he was so full of expectations for Leeds may date back to the period of Don Levy.

You were not even born then. "

Hearing these fat people just nodded shyly and smiled shyly.

What is this Italian guy doing, what does he want to say in such a big circle?
Fatty's reaction made Radrizzani slightly embarrassed.

This fat man is not easy to fool.

"Steve, what I want to say is that Leeds United have been at the top of the league and I'm here to bring this team back to their former glory.

Steve, you are so young, you have only led the team for two years and you have led the team to a trophy.

From you, I see infinite possibilities. After all, your previous achievements were obtained with limited investment.

Now I want to give you more support!Covering all aspects, all-round support! "

The new Italian boss, who had hoped to see Fatty's gratitude, was disappointed.

Fatty looked calm, and only asked one question: "I want to know how much transfer budget the team will give me in this window."

"Well, the team is currently participating in the European war. I will give you as much support as possible on the premise of respecting UEFA's balance of payments."

"Uh..., then will I have the right to direct the transfer?"

"Steve, to tell you the truth. I am going to hire Victor Horta as the team's new director of football. I hope you can discuss the transfer issue.

It's best if you give a rough list and Horta will be in charge of the specific negotiations. "

"Boss, I understand. Although the team's current record is not bad, there are still a few shortcomings that need to be made up. I will have a good talk with Victor."

"I believe you will have a lot of common topics."

"Boss, the team still has a lot of things waiting for me to deal with. If there is no problem, I will go to work."

"Okay, Steve, go get busy."

Radrizzani looked at the back of the fat man who was slowly making news, and fell into deep thought.

After Horta dealt with the contract issue with Middlesbrough, he went to Leeds to take office.

Steve and Horta had an in-depth conversation under the lead of Radrizzani.

"Victor, I won't go around in circles. Since the club is playing on two fronts this year, my thinking is that the team also needs a left winger, a midfielder who can at least rotate."

"Uh...Steve, I see. Do you have any goals?"

"At present, there is one, and I specially asked scouts to inspect his performance on the court at close range.

A pretty good Portuguese lad, Bruno Fernandes, is currently playing for Udinese and has played in Serie A for three seasons.

The young man has the potential to become a first-class midfielder. According to the scouts who visited, Sampdoria is trying to introduce him.

We need to hurry up if we're going to make a move. "

"Uh……"

Judging from Orta's resume, he had worked with the "real FM master" Monchi (known as "Hawkeye", good at discovering high-quality and cheap young players, and also likes to carry out large-scale changes to the team) in Seville. Asia partnered.

After that, Horta also worked in the Russian local team Zenit St. Petersburg. After coming to the UK, he went to Middlesbrough to assist Karanka.

Horta's place of stay perfectly bypassed the Apennine Peninsula. Although he had played a lot with Italian teams, but the fat man suddenly mentioned such an unknown player, and Horta was instantly amused.

What?Didn't you say you're going to have a big fight?The new boss is waving the checkbook for you to splurge, and you, that's it?
The fat man gave Horta a positive and confident look: Believe me, that's right.

Horta, who was full of doubts, still took his assistant to Udinese. After all, he just started working with Steve, and basic respect is still required.

Horta quickly found out that Fernandez hadn't been included in Portugal's Euro Cup preliminary squad, and he basically watched his home country win the championship in front of the TV.

To put it simply, the Portuguese is too ordinary to see any commercial value. Horta suspects that the fat man is making a fuss. Can such a player help the team?
The bid from rival Sampdoria also made Horta unable to arouse his desire to fight-rent first and then buy, and the buyout price is 600 million euros.

Horta reined in the galloping horses in his heart, and knocked Udinese unconscious with a share of 800 million euros.

On the other hand, in order to better prepare for the second round match against Astra, Fatty decided to send a full substitute lineup to play against Shrewsbury.

Unexpectedly, the bench players were extremely competitive. Not only did they block their opponents in 10 minutes, they also relied on Mr. Tony's diving to the top to advance to the top.

Sister Angel always makes Fatty roll back and forth in lucky and bad times.

Before he had time to savor the joy of qualifying for the League Cup, Fatty got bad news.

Because Udinese leaked the news of Fernandez's transfer, a halfway interception was triggered.

This time it was Chelsea, which has the title of "taxi" in the youth player trading market (the Blues always like to pursue young talents within the family and then rent them out, and most young players end up as vouchers).

When Chelsea sent an offer of 1500 million euros for Fernandez, the fat man felt that it was not easy.

Chelsea's offer was unmatched by Horta. The newly appointed director didn't want to be treated as an idiot by the boss, so he could only choose to retreat under Chelsea's gold dollar offensive.

Chelsea's shot made the fat man smell a strange smell. Is this just a simple accident or is "Kimchi" Zidane starting to trade?

Fatty decided to test Darney.

Before Steve could figure out what to do, a private message came to Kung Fu Man's account.

"I've already said that unless the secrecy of your transfer is so perfect that I can't do it, I will definitely stop it. This is just a small surprise.

If it weren't for your reminder, I wouldn't have remembered how good Fernandez performed at Sporting Lisbon. "

When the fatty saw this, he seemed to have discovered something.

Wait, in my past life memory, didn't Fernandez just join Manchester United?

Uh... the original time-space cut-off point of this stick is earlier than me, it seems that this will be my chance.

What worries the fat man even more is that "Kimchi" Zidane seems to have a certain say in Chelsea's transfer matters. How did he get rid of sister no (Blue Army CEO Granovskaya, this woman is best at Just procrastination, and then retaliatory consumption before the transfer deadline)?You must know that this woman's desire to control the transfer is simply abnormal, and even Mourinho can't get cheap in her hands.

Zidane will not pay a price, right?It is said that Sister No is definitely having an affair with Abu. This plot is so exciting that Fatty dare not think about it.

Under the watchful eyes of the new owner, Leeds United won the Astra 2-1 at Elland Road Stadium without bloodshed, and successfully advanced to the Europa League group stage.

In the game, Cook scored a super long shot. In the new season, the Leeds captain is in a hot state and has scored four goals in all competitions!

It seems that being out of England's European Cup list has aroused Cook's competitiveness, and he wants to prove that he is no worse than anyone else!
There are also things that make Fatty feel bad: Golini missed a non-threatening shot from the opponent and the Italian goalkeeper conceded goals in all the games he played in the new season, and his performance was disappointing.

This made the fat man have to have a name in his mind-Joe Hart, who has been scolded to pieces by England fans, the current situation of England's national team is extremely bad.

Manchester City just bought Barcelona goalkeeper Bravo for 8 million euros on August 25, which also indicates that Joe Hart has completely lost his position in Blue Moon.

This is an excellent opportunity to buy the bottom!

Fatty quickly contacted Horta and made a request to introduce Joe Hart.

This deal is stuck on Joe Hart's high salary, Hart's current weekly salary has reached 13 pounds, which is a figure that Leeds cannot afford.

Guardiola does not appear to want Hart joining a Premier League side either.

But Horta did not give up. The stubborn Spaniard also did not want the boss to feel that he was an idiot, and was looking for an intermediary to conduct emergency negotiations with Manchester City.

On August 8, Leeds United drew the "Saints" Southampton 28-1 away in the third round of the league. The Saints' attack power dropped sharply after losing Mane.

It was still Cook who contributed to Leeds. He scored a penalty kick created by Belotti in the game.

The fat man was thinking on the sidelines: It would be great if such a Cook could be seen by that little angel.

After the game, Fatty got good news.

Manchester City finally agreed to loan Joe Hart to Leeds, but with an avoidance clause, Leeds United will bear 60% of Hart's salary during the loan period.

Steve also found a home for Gollini. The Italian goalkeeper was sent back to Atlanta in his home country. As part of the deal, Fatty asked Atlanta for a young player who just joined the team this summer—Kulusev Sky's ownership.

The young man was born in the youth training in Bromma Pokana, Sweden. He just came to Atlanta this summer and is currently training with the U17 team.

The fat man didn't want the transfer fee, but asked for such an unknown player instead, which not only puzzled Horta, but even "Kimchi" Zidane couldn't figure it out.

Could it be that he is determined not to save money for the new boss?

The last piece of the puzzle of the new season that Fatty conceived was set on a player who is enough to surprise, and the secret negotiations continued until the deadline of the summer transfer window.

This is also a precise counterattack given by Fatty to Dane!
What Steve wants to win is South Korea's superstar Sun Xingmin!It's just that the current Korean looks like a failed investment for Tottenham.

In his debut season in the Premier League, Sun Xingmin was suppressed by the Argentine Lamela. He only started 28 times in 13 league appearances and scored only four goals.

It looks like the £2150m that Tottenham paid for South Korea's Oppa is going to be for naught.

Son Heung-Min took the risk of participating in this summer's Olympics in order to avoid the damn military service.This not only means that Sun Ouba will miss the entire pre-season training of Tottenham, but may also cause him to completely lose his position in the Tottenham team.

After all, in order to compete for the league championship trophy that they missed last season, Tottenham recruited a lot this summer and spent 1700 million pounds to introduce the Eredivisie golden boot Vincent Janssen. For France international Moussa Sissoko on the winger, the competition for a frontcourt position has never been fiercer.

Sun Ouba's Olympic experience was not good either. The South Korean team, which beat Germany in the group stage and qualified first in the group, lost to Honduras in the quarter-finals.

Sun Xingmin, who missed the Olympic medal, once again lost his chance to be exempted from military service. The 24-year-old Sun Ouba cried so much on the court that he burst into tears.

Sun Xingmin, who rushed back to Tottenham non-stop, did not get even a minute of playing time in the third round of the league's strong dialogue with Liverpool, and the hearts of the Koreans were about to break.

When the fat man talked with Horta about Sun Xingmin as his last transfer target, Horta suspected that the fat man in front of him was going to bankrupt his new boss. Normal people can’t do this without drinking ten bottles of beer— — This is equivalent to throwing money around for fun.

In order to fulfill their commitment to fully support Fatty, Radrizzani and Horta spent 2150 million pounds at the last moment before the transfer window closed to introduce Korean international Sun Xingmin!
Leeds also gave Sun Xingmin enough respect and gave him the same treatment as when he was at Tottenham-a weekly salary of 8.5 pounds, which is the absolute maximum salary in the Leeds team. The two parties finally signed a four-year contract.

"Kimchi" Zidane also smashed the keyboard in his hand after seeing a private message from Werther.

"Stop playing tricks on me, or I'll let your national idol rot on the bench!"
