Football: Rebirth 04, I Create a Black Shop in Football

The new season is coming.

It is April, and the 41st round of the English Championship is about to start this week.

In this round, Leeds United will face the challenge of Derby County at home.

In the previous 8 games, Leeds United won 4 wins and 4 draws, and now ranks first in the English Championship with 100 points.

Sunderland, ranked second, also won 5 consecutive victories after 3 consecutive draws, and even narrowed the points gap with Leeds United to 3 points, reaching 97 points.

Derby County, with 86 points, surpassed Wigan Athletic, which was ranked third before, and came to third place.

With 5 rounds left in the league, if Leeds United can get 3 points in this game, then they will definitely enter the Premier League in advance!

Therefore, in the first two rounds of games, Li Shiguang arranged for the starters to take turns to rest and make adequate preparations for this week's games.

In addition to leading the team in the game, Li Shiguang was also busy in other aspects.

Early this morning, Li Shiguang, who had just arrived at the office, took advantage of the time before the training session started to think about the previous plan.

First of all, the previously planned signings.

The first to respond was from Yaya Toure.

On the second day after the staff arrived in Donetsk, they called and said that they had negotiated a contract of intent with Donetsk Metallurgical. Before departure, Li Shiguang's highest price for Toure was 1.6 million euros. Later, during the negotiation, they lowered the price to 1.45 million euros, and then negotiated a personal contract with Toure according to Li Shiguang's regulations, 3 years, and a penalty of 43 million euros.

The second reply was from the scouts he sent to Argentina. In mid-March, they called to report. After arriving in Argentina, they inspected two games of Falcao and Mascherano.

As Li Shiguang said, they are two extremely talented players, and their current strength has reached the level of landing in Europe.

Although I don’t know whether they can gain a foothold in the Premier League, I believe that under Li Shiguang’s training, they should adapt to the British football environment quickly.

Later, Li Shiguang also told them on the phone that they could make an offer to River Plate and try to reach a letter of intent with River Plate at the lowest price.

After hanging up the phone, Li Shiguang complained in his heart and couldn’t help sighing that it seems that the fine tradition of flattery is not only in the East, but also in Europeans!

And yesterday they sent Li Shiguang a letter of intent template, and River Plate has agreed to sell Falcao and Mascherano for 3.5 million euros and 6 million euros respectively.

In terms of personal contracts, continuing Li Shiguang’s old rules, both are signed for 3 years.

Falcao’s penalty is 47.5 million euros, and Mascherano’s is 59 million euros.

Like Bale, the two young people now can’t figure out why their new boss thinks they are worth that price!

The three planned signings were quickly settled.

Only Berbatov encountered difficulties.

Berbatov has scored 14 goals in Leverkusen this season.

After receiving Leeds United's 10 million euro offer, Thomas Hitzlsperger, who had just replaced Skibe as Leverkusen's head coach, immediately expressed his attitude to the club management. Berbatov is the most important part of his team and must not be lost!

Seeing Hitzlsperger's firm attitude, Leverkusen's management also rejected Leeds United's offer.

In their view, Berbatov's condition is getting better and better, and there will definitely be more giants who will pay attention to him in the future, and he should be able to sell at a higher price at that time.

Seeing that Leverkusen directly rejected his offer.

Li Shiguang was not in a hurry. Anyway, there was still some time before the summer window opened. At worst, he would wait for the players in his hands to make a move, and then he would go to Leverkusen in person.

Then there is his youth training plan, which Li Shiguang has put a lot of effort into. After all, the cost of players trained by his own youth training is much lower than that of purchased players.

In the winter window, since he did not have much money, he only brought Bale to the youth training.

Last month, he also looked at Bale's attribute panel and found that after several months of training, the comprehensive evaluation has risen from the previous D+ to C+, and in the speed/fastest speed, Bale, who will only turn 16 in July this year, has reached 82/86.

He is indeed an S+ talent. At a young age, he is terrifying.

That's right!

Next season he plans to promote Bale to the first team, and believes that under his training, his attributes should increase faster.

After more than two months of efforts by his scouts, all the young players on the list given to them before were successfully plundered by Li Shiguang.

Now in Leeds United's youth training camp, in addition to Bale, he also brought in 15-year-old Hazard, 14-year-old Courtois, 13-year-old Lukaku, and 15-year-old De Bruyne from Belgium.

If it were before his rebirth, the current youth training camp has basically gathered the main framework of the golden generation of Belgium.

As for the remaining future talents in the plan, he plans to take them one by one after the club's financial situation improves.

Looking at the satisfactory results, Li Shiguang drank a sip of tea, took some of his tactical splints and walked towards the training ground.

Who knew that just when he went downstairs, he saw Allen running towards him quickly.

Seeing him like this, Li Shiguang joked: "Good morning, Alan, is there a dog chasing you? You're running so fast."

Alan panted and rolled his eyes at his boss. After a short rest, he said: "Boss, I just received another offer for Adebayor in my mailbox."

Li Shiguang is no longer surprised by the news of Adebayor's offer.

Adebayor's performance in the Championship during this period can be said to be phenomenal. As long as he plays, he will score goals, which has attracted the attention of many clubs, including some giants.

Glancing at Allen, Li Shiguang said unhappily: "This is not the first time we have received an offer for him. Why are you so anxious? Didn't I say before that as long as his penalty is not triggered, we will reject it!"

Alan paused: "But this time, it was Arsenal who made the offer, and they raised the offer directly to 20 million euros."

Hearing what Allen said, Li Shiguang was delighted. There was still some time before the summer window, but he didn't expect Arsenal to make a move. Judging from this price, Wenger should really want to bring Adebayor to Highbury Stadium.

But on second thought, I know that Arsenal has not been financially well-off in the past two years because of the construction of a new home stadium, but you are such a big club, can't you even afford 9 million euros?

Adebayor's penalty is 29 million euros, and Arsenal's offer of 20 million euros is still far from Li Shiguang's psychological price.

Thinking of this, Li Shiguang's mouth corners once again pulled up a sly smile.

Want to pull with me, right?

Then I won’t make you numb!
