Tyrant of green giants, signed Guardiola at the beginning

1 month 3 day.

Today is game day.

Leeds United travel to Coventry in the afternoon.

Shen Hao had just arrived at the Thorpe Arch training base in the morning. Less than 30 minutes after being separated from Tang Jinyu, Tang Jinyu came to the sidelines of the training ground.

Upon seeing this, Shen Hao walked over from the venue.

"A team offered Redondo 300 million pounds."

Tang Jinyu gave Shen Hao a "critical blow" head on!

Shen Hao's eyes widened and he said in a deep voice: "Real Madrid is so shameless. Is Florentino so spineless?"

Tang Jinyu said: "Not Real Madrid, Liverpool, Bolton, Everton, Middlesbrough, Manchester City, Tottenham."

Shen Hao was stunned.

This...

"No Real Madrid?"

"No."

Shen Hao exhaled a long and deep breath.

He looked back at Redondo who was training seriously on the field.

“I didn’t expect him to be so popular, but I just looked at the Premier League rankings of these teams, and I guess they are trying to reach the Champions League.

Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester United are the favorites to compete for the championship and have widened the gap with other teams.

Competition for fourth place in the league is fierce. "

Shen Hao turned around and said nothing, letting Tang Jinyu go back to work first.

People always have a pessimistic view of veterans.

It comes from the fact that there is no tomorrow for veterans.

But now Redondo is so popular.

The reason actually has nothing to do with tomorrow.

What these Premier League teams are fighting for is fourth place in the league.

If it can reach the Champions League next season, the club's revenue will be over ten million pounds.

Therefore, it is actually understandable to spend 300 million pounds to introduce Redondo to strengthen the midfield.

Moreover, Redondo's performance in the British Championship is definitely up to the Premier League level.

Shen Hao called Redondo in front of him during a break in training.

"Fernando, a team has made you an offer."

Redondo's eyes suddenly turned fiery.

"Is it Real Madrid?"

"It is not..."

"Not interested in."

After saying that, Redondo left.

He didn't even bother to hear the specific team that made him an offer.

Shen Hao seemed to get some comfort.

Redondo doesn’t want to go anywhere but Real Madrid.

If it weren't for Real Madrid, he would have stayed at Leeds United.

A player with such firm belief did not choose to jump repeatedly between different clubs.

Shen Hao still admired it very much.

Leeds United rejected offers from several Premier League clubs at noon.

Rejection is cold.

Tang Jinyu said the same thing when he called back to the CEOs, coaches, or football directors of these clubs.

Redondo is not interested in a move outside of Real Madrid.

Shen Hao led the team to the away game to challenge Coventry in the afternoon.

Your uncle Tiantuan is back.

But other players who didn't take vacation were exhausted.

Shen Hao gave them a short vacation.

And now Leeds United's strongest configuration is the midfielder!

Redondo, Simeone, Guardiola, plus Jamie Redknapp.

So when Kelly, Kilgallon, Radebe and Lennon all stopped playing.

Shen Hao used Michael Gray as the left back and Carlisle played as the right back.

Gregan and Clyne played as double centre-backs.

All four main midfielders appeared.

Danny Pugh and Batistuta play as a double forward.

It can be regarded as a combination of one high and one fast.

Leeds United's performance in the away game highlighted a solid and hard performance!

The midfielder's ball control ability is close to the level of the Premier League giants!

Guardiola is the core playmaker, Jamie Redknapp is b2b, Redondo is the back-up player, and Simeone is dedicated to defensive sweeps.

The 4222 formation system allowed Coventry, a member of the relegation corps, to compete head-on but frequently encountered counterattacks.

When Leeds United's offense reaches the frontcourt, it is more like Italy's unilateral flying wing regional triangle coordination system.

Danny Pugh is closer to the wing and Batistuta is in the middle.

Jamie Redknapp comes in from behind.

If the quality of Danny Pugh's passing was not out of touch with the overall quality of the team, Leeds United could kill Coventry to a bloody river.

In the end, only three goals were scored on the road.

Batistuta, Jamie Redknapp and Redondo each made a contribution.

Leeds United won Coventry 3:1 away from home.

This is the end of the Christmas Devil schedule.

5 league rounds.

Leeds United handed over the answer sheet with 3 wins and 2 draws.

At the top of the list, No. 2 still has a 12-point advantage.

Even your uncle Tiantuan did not expect that Shen Hao, in the context of their absence, would actually have 2 wins and 2 draws in the previous four rounds of the most difficult league.

I admire Shen Hao's coaching ability even more from the bottom of my heart.

Next, the team will have some space to rest and breathe.

A week later they will face the first leg of the League Cup semi-finals.

But before that, the FA Cup begins!

Leeds United's signings are terrible.

The League Cup is a competition for teams from local four-tier professional leagues.

The FA Cup is open to all teams in England.

Even regional teams can sign up to play.

This tournament is considered to be the oldest competition in modern football and symbolizes the origins of English football as a modern football.

Therefore, the glory it symbolizes is much higher than the League Cup.

The scale of the event can also be called a feast of national football.

If you have strength and luck, non-professional teams may also encounter the Premier League giants!

However, Leeds United encountered Birmingham in the Premier League when they first participated in the FA Cup.

It's not that Birmingham is so strong that Leeds United are afraid of.

But the schedule is very unfriendly.

After the FA Cup, we will play the first leg of the League Cup semi-finals.

As long as Leeds United can be given a low-level league team, Shen Hao feels that reaching the FA Cup will not be a dream.

During the preparation period when the team reduces the intensity.

Shen Hao thought about how to arrange his troops.

His main team will definitely go to the League Cup semi-finals.

Then we can only send the team's substitutes and marginal roles to face Birmingham.

There are only two days left until the FA Cup kicks off at the weekend.

Leeds United have received a number of offers from a number of teams.

Atletico Madrid offers Simeone €150 million.

Shen Hao refused without asking Simeone for his opinion.

Redondo's transfer fee of 300 million pounds was personally promised by Shen Hao to Redondo.

His principle is to practice what he preaches.

But for other players, Shen Hao didn't need to ask him what he thought.

During their contract period, if the club doesn't want to sell, they can just refuse.

Players have ideas?

can.

Digest by yourself.

Manchester City's £200 million bid for Guardiola was also ignored.

Whether it is the Premier League team that once tried Guardiola, or Atletico Madrid, which did not offer Simeone an ideal contract extension, now they all have swollen thighs!

I saw these veterans going crazy at Leeds United.

They regretted that they wanted to make up for it.

While making an offer to Leeds United.

The other side is building momentum in front of the media.

It can also be regarded as using the public channel broadcast to invite.

After the afternoon training, the players left the Thorpe Arch training base one after another.

A large number of Fleet Street reporters had gathered outside.

This winter, Leeds United have become the focus of English football.

Because Premier League teams are going on the offensive against their players.

Kelly has received invitations from Everton and Bolton.

Against the backdrop of the club's rejection of the offer.

The players need to respond.

Simeone spoke directly to the media in Spanish: "I am currently living a good life at Leeds United. Thanks to Atletico Madrid for the invitation, but I have a contract and I must fulfill it."

Guardiola put it bluntly.

"I'm very happy in Leeds."

Kelly gave an exemplary speech.

"I just want to play for Leeds United."

As a loyal member of the team for 13 years, Kelly is undoubtedly the player with the most enthusiastic support from fans.

Redondo reiterated again.

"If I couldn't play for Real Madrid, I would rather retire at Leeds United."

Although this will make some Leeds United fans feel that their enthusiasm is feeding the dog.

But the reality is that as long as Real Madrid does not bid, Redondo will continue to play for them.

It's realistic.

Too many players want to go to rich clubs.

But the problem is that the wealthy families don’t want them.

Don't fans allow players to have dreams anymore?

As for Batistuta, he has received offers from some teams in Serie A and the Premier League.

His remarks to the media were completely true to his feelings.

"When I was in Qatar, no European teams still had expectations for me, but the boss brought me back to Europe. Here I have regained my feeling. I feel that I am in great shape and I want to play for Leeds. I will fight for Leeds United to repay the boss for his kindness to me. If Leeds United no longer needs me, I will retire and stop playing."

Different people, different mindsets.

Batistuta made no secret of his gratitude to Shen Hao.

What others saw was him regaining his glory on the green court.

Only he himself knows how many days and nights he suffered from the pain of injuries.

...

In the evening, Shen Hao, Tang Jinyu and Chen Hao played Texas in the Elland Road bar.

Someone wanted to join their game, but all three refused.

Playing cards is second, and the most important thing is recreation and relaxation.

After all, it will be a little awkward to have a stranger come.

Tang Jinyu's phone rang suddenly.

After answering the phone, he chatted for a few words and then gave the phone to Shen Hao.

After Shen Hao answered the phone somewhat unexpectedly, the voice of Arsenal coach Wenger came from the phone.

"You want Lennon? Give me a price and I'll hear it."

"Two million pounds? Arsene, you are not the only one who knows how to train players. You want to pick up the bargains and go to your hometown of Ligue 200 to dig for gold."

"I'm just telling you the reality. This is not to offend you. I don't want to waste time. For 200 million pounds, let alone Lennon's leg, you can't even buy him a hand that he only uses to wipe sweat on the court."

"That's it, goodbye."

Shen Hao returned the phone to Tang Jinyu.

Chen Hao suddenly asked: "Brother Hao, what do you mean, do you plan to sell Lennon?"

Shen Hao sighed softly.

"Promoting to the Premier League requires signings, signings require money, and debts must be paid off, 700 million pounds! Lennon must leave. Selling one person can solve all problems. It is much better than selling a lot and then making up for it."

Tang Jinyu remained silent about this.

First, Shen Hao is an expert in lineup construction.

Secondly, this is also a reality. Leeds United’s lineup is already thin.

If you want to expand the lineup, you will definitely have to spend money.

Even if you sign a free agent player, you still have to pay a salary!

Which one doesn't cost money?

After about half an hour.

Tang Jinyu's phone rang again.

Tang Jinyu handed the phone to Shen Hao again.

Chen Hao joked: "Maybe Wenger has raised the price."

After Shen Hao answered the call, he felt helpless.

Liverpool coach Benitez!

"Raphael, I have sent away Wenger, so I want to be more honest. Don't think that Leeds United is a team in the British Championship and our players are not valuable. In the offensive wing position, Lennon is better than all Liverpool wingers." Players must be outstanding, and you must recognize this in your heart, so before making an offer, respect reality."

"alright, bye."

Tang Jinyu asked: "How much does Liverpool pay?"

Shen Hao took a sip of wine.

"Scared away."

Chen Hao threw the chip into the center of the table and said with a smile: "Brother Hao, don't smash it in your hand at the end."

Shen Hao glared at him.

"Crow's mouth."

Most Premier League teams do business with Leeds United through direct quotations.

I thought there wouldn't be much of an obstacle.

Because the cash flow on Leeds United's books is indeed tight.

But those powerful clubs in the Premier League know very well that this is not how business works.

So before making a formal offer, contact us privately to chat.

If there is an opportunity, we can talk.

Then lock people in with an offer, and then see how the players react.

If the players respond positively, the next step will be easy.

The game is over.

Shen Hao and the other three planned to go back to the hotel to rest after a glass of wine.

Tang Jinyu's phone rang again.

Shen Hao laughed.

Bet with Chen Hao.

"This call must still be for me."

Chen Hao shook his head and said: "It's so late, it's impossible."

"£20."

"Mr. Tang, answer the phone."

After Tang Jinyu answered the phone, as expected, he handed the phone to Shen Hao.

Before answering, Shen Hao smiled and extended his hand to Chen Hao.

Chen Hao paid 20 pounds to Shen Hao and muttered: "I seriously suspect that Mr. Tang's phone contains Brother Hao's phone card."

Shen Hao picked up the phone and put it to his ear.

"Ferguson? Sorry, please speak slower. I can't hear your Scottish accent."

"Lennon? Before we talk business, let me break the news to you. The offers from Arsenal and Liverpool have been rejected by me."

...

Ferguson sat in silence at home holding the phone.

The world is like this. As long as talented players enter the professional arena, it is difficult not to be discovered.

Why don't other Premier League teams bid?

can not afford!

They are very self-aware.

An offer like Wenger's 200 million pounds was purely because he felt that Leeds United had never seen the money.

"How much do they offer?"

"Arsenal £200 million."

"Hahaha, Arsene is still so petty, 200 million? It's less than Henry's salary for a year. What about Liverpool?"

"£750."

Ferguson's expression became serious again.

"You refused?"

"Well, I told Benitez that at this price, he could buy Lennon a leg at best."

"Are you really planning to sell Lennon for 2000 million pounds?"

"Old Redknapp is such a big mouth!"

"Let's get down to business, Lennon. Make an offer."

"Didn't you just say that?"

"Don't have to talk?"

"I've made an offer."

"Do Manchester United have the players you want? Cash plus players for Lennon."

Shen Hao fell into silence.

Apparently, Ferguson really wanted Lennon.

Simply put, it is difficult for Ferguson, the godfather of dominating the Premier League, to be unattractive to a typical England-based outstanding wide offensive player.

Especially now that Lennon is only 17 years old and has shown talent and strength in the Championship.

Given time, and it doesn't take too long, maybe Lennon can become a top star on a bigger stage.

Ferguson is naturally sincere.

"Alex, you are making things complicated. I want Rooney. Even if you are willing to change, he is not willing to come to Leeds United. Are you testing my greed or do I have self-awareness?"

Ferguson laughed at home.

99% of Manchester United players will not go to Leeds United!

It has little to do with the mortal enemy.

The main reason is the status gap between clubs.

"Maybe you can give me a name and I'll do the player's ideological work."

"Okay, I'll give you a question. For 2000 million pounds in cash, you can take Lennon away directly. Option two is that Pique plus Rossiya plus 500 million pounds in cash for Lennon. Option three is that Cristiano Ronaldo is exchanged for Lennon. .”

"I will think about it and contact you again. Good night."

Shen Hao hung up the phone and fell into deep thought.

His hand holding the phone suddenly became tighter and tighter.

It is impossible for him to ask for Ruud van Nistelrooy, Rooney, Scholes, Ferdinand and other players from Manchester United.

Mediocre players may help Leeds United gain a foothold in the Premier League in the future, but they will slow down Leeds United's progress towards the top.

Therefore, we can only focus on those young players with extremely high potential.

The three young players he just mentioned.

Pique of Spain, Rossi of Italy, Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal.

Shen Hao knows their potential very well.

All are above 170.

And Cristiano Ronaldo even has a potential as high as 195, which is rare in the world!

Of course Shen Hao wants them.

But after the words were spoken, Ferguson hung up the phone decisively, which made him suspect that he had been tricked.

Ferguson's home.

He stood in front of the study window, muttering to himself.

Constantly repeating the three names Shen Hao mentioned just now.

Manchester United's young players naturally have a bright future.

Those without potential will basically not even be able to get into the first team.

The bigger the club, the lower the chance of making a mistake.

It's just that the final height of a player's growth may deviate from expectations.

Pique and Rossi are players that Manchester United does not have the time and space to give opportunities.

But Cristiano Ronaldo has given Ferguson some headaches recently.

Last season, he won applause for his flashy performance.

This season, even Manchester United fans are a little disgusted with his flashy skills!

And this also caused conflicts within the team.

Van Nistelrooy has begun to complain about Cristiano Ronaldo's inability to perform his duties as a wide player in crossing the ball.

Ferguson can't help but wonder whether the Portuguese superstar is suitable for Manchester United.

In the league competition, Manchester United not only lags behind Arsenal, but the counterattack storm set off by the rising Chelsea has become the new protagonist of the Premier League.

The tussle between Manchester United and Arsenal over the past few years has been broken.

more competitive.

The situation is becoming increasingly cruel.

Ferguson's sense of crisis became even stronger.

Lennon at Leeds United is good.

Ferguson wanted it.

But the price of 2000 million pounds is still a bit high for Manchester United at present.

After all, Lennon was too young.

How much did it cost him to bring in Cristiano Ronaldo?

1200 pounds.

Ferguson looked at the night in Cheshire and said to himself: "Young marshal from China with vicious eyes... Is Cristiano already worth 2000 million pounds in your eyes?"

Shen Hao may not have realized that when Manchester United fans and the media began to criticize Cristiano Ronaldo for his useless and flashy skills on the field.

During his brief phone call with Ferguson, he increased Cristiano Ronaldo's worth!

Will any team spend £2000 million on this Portuguese genius now?

Maybe, but most teams will definitely be cautious.

Why did you buy it?

See him dribbling, riding a bicycle, pulling the ball and playing tricks on the court?

and then?

Can he assist or score goals?
