Football irons are burning

Chapter 407
Corret also said afterwards: "We are very happy to sign Li Tie. His contract is for 3 years and his annual salary will reach 4000 million euros. He will become a legend of the Espanyol team!"

With 4000 million euros, Li Tie's salary is still the first in the world!

For a small club, this is undoubtedly very bold!

The next day, major media also commented on this.

Daily Sports Daily: The superstar came to Barcelona, ​​but not Barcelona, ​​but the Espanyol team. The arrival of Li Tie will undoubtedly enhance the competitiveness of the Espanyol team. With his slightly bloated body, can he still exert his former energy?Everything is waiting to be seen!
Marca: La Liga has finally ushered in the superstar Li Tie, but unfortunately, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona are indifferent. The Espanyol team picked up a big deal. Although the 3000 million pounds will damage his image, he will definitely surprise people this season!

Aspen: Li Tie is undoubtedly still a superstar. Even if he exerts half of his strength, it is enough to transform the Espanyol team. Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid will definitely regret it.

Gazzetta dello Sport: I am very happy to see Li Tie come back and join the Espanyol team. His ability has always convinced us that he will lead the new club to glory.

Photo: Li Tie will still prove himself in the new league. He has never let me down, and this time is no exception. Congratulations to the Espanyol for winning the 2006-2007 La Liga championship!

The evaluations of the major media are still relatively optimistic about Li Tie and the Espanyol team.

Bild even humorously congratulated the Espanyol team for winning the new season's championship ahead of schedule, and obviously has great confidence in Li Tie.

Everything created by Li Tie in the past is hard to doubt.

Although Li Tie has not recovered to his best condition yet!
The Espanyol club's ticket sales work is also progressing smoothly. All the package tickets are sold out overnight, and the price of the tickets has also increased a lot, which has also improved the club's financial situation a lot.

Sponsors also flocked in quickly. Several companies of the Chinese team quickly signed stadium advertising sponsorship contracts with the Espanyol. Although the amount varies, the highest has reached 3 million euros for 5000 years!
With such a huge income, why worry about not getting back the money invested in Li Tie?
And soon, Li Tie's 'unlimited charm' skills took effect, and some players even volunteered to join the Espanyol.

Portugal veteran Figo free transfer Espanyol, which also set off another round of fan storm.

Figo used to play for Barcelona, ​​then moved to Real Madrid, and now he has come to the Espanyol. This is a bit of what Zhang Fei scolded Lu Bu.

Figo, who is about to be 34 years old, still has mature skills, and he will help the team.

Hildebrand, who has announced his retirement, also made a comeback, but his old club Manchester City still has a contract with him.

After some negotiations, Manchester City actually agreed to let him go, and the Espanyol team only needed to pay 2000 million pounds to take it away. Naturally, the Espanyol team was overjoyed, and immediately paid the transfer fee and brought Hildebrand to Barcelona.

With a reliable goalkeeper and the Espanyol's defense, it must be on the next level.

England striker Owen also came here especially. He is also a free transfer. He used to be a chasing boy and is now 27 years old. Leaving England this time is also a challenge.

However, he was lucky to meet Li Tie, and it is very likely that he will have a second life here.

A series of free transfers of stars have driven club chairman Corret crazy. Obviously, the joining of these players will definitely bring the club's reputation to a higher level.

Neither Irving nor Figo spent a transfer fee, so their salaries are relatively high, with an annual salary of almost 1000 million euros. This point, if the Espanyol team manages properly, they can still afford it.

Subsequently, Li Tie's agent company recommended Serbian defender Vidic to the Espanyol team. The club spent 1200 million euros to bring this undervalued central defender to Barcelona.

The 17-year-old Chinese player Wu Xi also defected to Li Tie from the Boys Club for 1000 million euros. He was the best player in the 2005 World Youth Championship and was also selected for the 2006 World Cup squad. Unfortunately, he only played for a few minutes at the last moment.

His arrival has also further strengthened the Chinese elements of the Espanyol team.

He came with Chilean teenager Sanchez and Polish teenager Lewandowski, both worth 1000 million euros.

The two have played in the Chinese Super League for a year and a half, and their strength has also been recognized. Therefore, this time, together with Wu Xi, they both left the Little Boys Club. The club has also cultivated a lot of talents. It is considered by the outside world to be China's Ajax.

The club's other foreign aid, Llorente, was also sold to Atletico Madrid. The 21-year-old Spanish high center scored 41 goals in one and a half seasons in the Chinese Super League. Atletico Madrid was willing to spend 2000 million euros for this.

The 18-year-old Brazilian amateur player Diego Costa also joined the Espanyol team. This player has been watched by Li Tie's agent for a long time, and this time he was also recommended to the Espanyol team.

The price paid by the Espanyol team is also quite low. For capable players, the club is naturally willing to accept it.

With so many new players joining, many players have also been purged by the club. Although these players are second-rate in strength, they are still very marketable in the middle and lower reaches of La Liga. More or less, they can also exchange some money for the club.

The Espanyol subsequently announced that it had closed the transfer window, and the team also began closed training.

During training, because Li Tie's body has not yet recovered to its best condition, his position is basically fixed at the front midfielder.

He can't run fast, but his passing, dribbling, breakthrough, and long-range shots are still very sharp.

On the training ground, wonderful cheers came from time to time.

The young coach Pochettino is also very satisfied. After he retired from the Espanyol last year, he was righted by the club and served as the club's head coach.

The introduction of Li Tie was also his suggestion. Otherwise, how could a mid-range team like the Espanyol be willing to spend 3000 million pounds?
Seeing the team's training situation now, Pochettino is very proud. With such a team, he will go all out this season and strive to win at least one championship in La Liga, UEFA Cup and Copa del Rey!
At that time, Pochettino, like Mourinho, Ancelotti, Mancini, Conte and others, will become a well-known young coach!

"Run faster, Michael, don't stick to the ball on your side, pay attention to the ball with one kick, or shoot more decisively!"

"Louis, don't stand and wait for the ball, you have to run, pay attention to Li Tie's running position, and keep a distance of about 2 meters from him!"

"Tamudo, be more decisive with the header and don't hesitate about the angle!"

After today's training, the main lineup of the team is basically leaking clues.

In the position of goalkeeper, Hildebrand is impeccable, of course he is the starting goalkeeper.

On the front line, Owen and Tamudo compete fiercely. Both of them are relatively fast and flexible, which makes Pochettino a headache.

Uruguayan striker Pandiani is also in good condition. Although he is 30 years old, he still maintains a high scoring rate.

And Lewandowski and Sanchez should not be underestimated. This season, the team's striker has a total of 7 forwards. There is no need to worry about it, it is enough.

In midfield, Pochettino puts more emphasis on Wu Xi, Figo, Rufete and Riera.

Pochettino put Wu Xi in the right midfielder position, which is also due to Wu Xi's skills, especially when he puts in an assist, people are always eye-catching, and the speed of cutting inside is very fast.

Of course, Li Tie must be unique. He is still the most threatening in the midfielder position.

On the defensive line, Vidic has already integrated into the team, and his cooperation with Zabaleta has become increasingly tacit, which even made the team's original captain Jalke be placed on the bench.

But if you play a three-back system, then Jalke will also be useful.

And Li Tie also took the time to exchange the Champions League title in the 2004-2005 season for skills.

This time I was lucky, I actually got an S-level breakthrough skill, and Li Tie directly used it for the young general Wu Xi!
In the future, Wu Xi must have a bright future.

Soon, Wu Xi demonstrated his superhuman breakthrough ability during training, which made Pochettino feel that this deal is really a stroke of genius!
