Green Journey

Chapter 333 Early bird luck is generally good!

At 6:10 local time in London on June 0, the Premier League summer transfer window officially opened.

Leicester City is destined to spend this night on the go.

In the Leicester City club building, the lights were brightly lit. Today, people from various departments have reserved people to work overtime to welcome this destined to be an uneasy night.

After 0 o'clock, the fax machine specially used to receive quotation faxes in Leicester City creaked, and it was very clear in the quiet building, which immediately shocked people.

Not long after, Leicester City club sporting director Steve Walsh received the first batch of offer leaflets.

After flipping through it briefly, Steve Walsh slammed a stack of faxes of quotations from all over the world on the desk, cursed, and said, "Damn! These bastards are trying to hollow us out! !"

On the fax sheets scattered on the desk, the names of Kanter, Mahrez, Vardy, Drinkwater, Schmeichel, Huth and others are clearly visible.

From the front line to the defense line, almost all the players who have performed well this season have been targeted.

Even though they had announced to the outside world some time ago that Vardy and Mahrez had renewed their contracts with the team, they still couldn't stop the enthusiasm of these clubs.

Leicester City Club has recently started contract renewal negotiations with Huth, Morgan, Simpson, Shinji Okazaki and other players at the same time.

At present, most of the players expressed their reluctance to leave and stayed and continued to play for the team.

Of course, the weekly salary will definitely increase.

But every summer transfer period is long, and it is really difficult for him to ensure that those players who have completed contract extensions or are negotiating will not be persuaded.

But soon Steve Walsh realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly bent over and rummaged on the desk.

Because he didn't seem to have seen the faxed offer to Chu Zheng.

After a while, Katie, Steve Walsh's assistant, brought another batch of quotation faxes.

Steve Walsh quickly took it and continued to look through it, but miraculously, he still couldn't find Chu Zheng's offer.

For a while, his mind was a little confused, and thinking of Chu Zheng's predicament in the transfer market last year, he suddenly became a little uneasy.

It's not unheard of for hot stars to get a cold shoulder in the transfer market.

But soon he calmed down and realized that he was a little impatient.

Because the hotter the player, the later his offer is likely to come.

Because Chu Zheng's net worth has recently exceeded [-] million pounds.

This is not a small sum.

Such a blockbuster transfer project has always been extremely cautious.

Even if those clubs that are interested in Chuzheng have already completed the investigation and technical data analysis of Chuzheng in advance, they still need to consider their own budget to determine the quotation, as well as various assessments of the burden on the financial system after the introduction of Chuzheng.

In addition, these clubs need to know Chu Zheng's character, personality, and the remarks he usually makes on media and social platforms.

Although the Premier League has expressly stipulated that players under contract must not directly or indirectly contact another club without the prior written consent of the current club.

But the unspoken rules are basically to determine in advance whether the player has the intention to transfer, and then make an offer.

Everyone does this, and no one has the right to scold anyone.

Generally, as long as it is not too much, no one will expose this kind of matter to the public and expose it to the eyes of fans and the media.

Therefore, Steve Walsh believes that Wenger, Mourinho and Guardiola, who have already flown to China in advance, will never be so honest. Maybe they have already connected with Chu Zheng.

……

After 6:[-] a.m. BJ time, Chu Zheng, who ran four or five kilometers near his home in the drizzle, returned home to wash up and found that no one had woken up, so he went out alone to a teahouse in a nearby alley for breakfast.

"Hey, Zhengwazi, it's still so early today!"

"Come on, be with the uncle! Do you still recognize me?"

"Where are you going next season, tell the uncle secretly, and I promise not to tell those stick reporters!"

"..."

As soon as he entered the quaint tea house that looked like an ancient inn, the building was immediately full of uncles, making Chu Zheng dumbfounded.

They were all old neighbors who watched him grow up nearby, so Chu Zheng had no choice but to treat them fairly without giving anyone face.

Half an hour later, after Chu Zheng had eaten his fill, he sat quietly upstairs, looking at the gloomy sky outside the window, looking at the deserted alley, enjoying this rare tranquility.

But it didn't take long for the tranquility to be broken.

The phone in Chu Zheng's arms rang.

Seeing that it was Mario calling, Chu Zheng answered the phone.

But when Mario said on the phone that Guardiola was going to have an interview with him now, Chu Zheng was stunned. He didn't expect this guy to be so eager.

Guardiola, Mourinho, and Wenger all flew to China to meet him. To be honest, Chu Zheng felt extremely flattered and felt the sincerity of these three clubs.

After hanging up the phone, afraid that the bastard would not be able to find the teahouse, Chu Zheng sent another navigation to Mario.

Half an hour later, the person came, followed by another person.

Seeing Guardiola who made an appointment yesterday, Chu Zheng immediately stood up to say hello.

"Hey, Chu, I finally see you. You are the first player who made me wait so long in my coaching career for so many years."

After hugging Chu Zheng politely, Guardiola smiled very happily.

"I'm sorry!" Hearing Guardiola's words, Chu Zheng immediately apologized.

At this moment, some tourists on the second floor who also got up early recognized Guardiola and Chu Zheng, and boldly came over to ask for autographs.

And Chu Zheng and Guardiola also agreed to the requests of these extremely excited fans one by one.

But it was impossible to talk about things like this, so Chu Zheng asked the boss for a private room.

After entering the private room and sitting down, Guardiola couldn't wait to say: "Chu, I now officially invite you to join us on behalf of the Manchester City club."

After the words fell, Guardiola seemed a little nervous.

Because of his personality, this guy has never been very good at dealing with interpersonal relationships from player to coach, and of course he is even less likely to be a good lobbyist.

But who made Guagua lucky?

Chu Zheng, who had already made up his mind, hesitated for a while, and said with a smile: "I am very happy, Mr. Guardiola, I accept your invitation!"

After the words fell, Guardiola was a little dumbfounded. He never expected that Chu Zheng would agree so simply. He subconsciously asked the doubts in his heart, and said, "Don't you ask what kind of treatment we will give you? And you Future status in the team."

As soon as these words came out, Chu Zheng wanted to cover his face, and at the same time felt that this guy was quite cute.

"I believe that you came all the way to China to invite me to join Manchester City, absolutely not because you want me to sit on the bench." Chu Zheng laughed cheerfully.

He exchanged glances with Mario and said, "As for the treatment, I believe my agent will help me get the treatment I deserve."

Hearing this, Mario straightened his back immediately.

Here it comes again, Chu Zheng rolled his eyes vaguely.

Although the invitation went surprisingly smoothly, Guardiola was a little worried instead.

So next, he took Chu Zheng to explain the new tactical system he brought to Manchester City with great interest, and repeatedly emphasized the important position of Chu Zheng in his tactics.

The more Chu Zheng listened, the more frightened he became.

When it comes to Guardiola, many people will naturally think of Tiki-taka, which was popular all over the world in Barcelona.

Up to now, Tiki-taka is not just a tactical system, it is synonymous with a past era.

As the first No. 4 player promoted by Cruyff that year, Guardiola had an incomparable view of the overall situation and the ability to control the game when he was a player.

It is also this talent beyond ordinary people that makes Guardiola's achievements in the position of head coach surpass his player era.

In today's mighty trend of technical and tactical innovation in world football, Guardiola has come all the way, and he obviously does not intend to rest on his Tiki-taka's credit book for the rest of his life.

When coaching Bayern, Guardiola still continued his innovative research on football techniques and tactics, and devoted himself to the study of his football philosophy.

And tactical creation and innovation are sometimes reflected in changes to the overall football concept.

Just like the Tiki-taka back then, sometimes it is reflected in trying to change some details to affect the overall situation, and finally achieve the goal of improving the overall combat effectiveness of the team.

But in Guardiola's narration just now, Chu Zheng heard the bold tactical innovation of the world famous coach.

From Guardiola's narration just now, it can be heard that he is going to let the full-back players switch roles between the full-back and the midfielder during the game, so that he and De Bruyne have nothing to do. Don't worry about the future, you don't need to retreat frequently, so you can concentrate on organizing the attack and bombarding the opponent's goal crazily.

Thinking of De Bruyne's strength, Chu Zheng had a picture in his mind at this moment, and the picture was so beautiful that he didn't dare to imagine it.

Now Chu Zheng's feelings about Guardiola's tactics can be summed up in two words.

"crazy!"

But when he thought of the relationship between Guardiola and the famous lunatic coach Bielsa in the world football, Chu Zheng suddenly felt as if he was normal again.

The master is crazy, so the apprentice is crazy, there is nothing wrong with it!

"Sir, have you considered that if the opponent we face is a team that is very good at defensive counterattacks, such as Leicester City this season, it may be very dangerous if we play like this!" Chu Zheng After rehearsing Guardiola's tactics in his mind, he quickly discovered a very serious problem, so he asked it out.

As soon as the voice fell, the box suddenly became quiet.

In the next second, Chu Zheng and Mario saw a strange expression mixed with shock and ecstasy on Guardiola's face.

At this moment, Guardiola was shocked.

He never expected that Chu Zheng would be able to so keenly find out the defensive problem that he had only solved before after he had only briefly explained the new tactical system.

what does this mean?
This means that Chu Zheng has a keen sense of smell beyond ordinary people in terms of tactics, and has a super brain that is extremely smart like a head coach.

At this moment, Guardiola was beyond satisfied with Chu Zheng.

He felt that he had found the right person. This was the fleet commander he wanted, the soul player of the team.

As a result, Guardiola and Chu Zheng, who had already devoted themselves to the tactical discussion, started a new round of discussions, like a pair of friends who have forgotten each other.

On the side, Mario was dumbfounded when he saw Guardiola and Chu Zheng's excited looks that were hard to find.

"Two lunatics!" After a long time, Mario quietly got up and left the private room, and mumbled before leaving.

However, Mario is very happy to see such speculation between Guardiola and Chu Zheng, which is of great benefit to Chu Zheng's future in Manchester City.

Then it's his battle.

As soon as he thought of the extremely rich consortium behind Manchester City, Mario immediately felt motivated and wanted to negotiate with Manchester City immediately.
