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

Chapter 3

At the same time in London, an old man with thick round-framed glasses and silver hair was sitting in his study, reading the Yorkshire Post carefully. He was Bates, the former owner of Chelsea who had proposed to Li Shiguang's father to acquire Leeds United. After selling Chelsea, he did not give up his investment in football, but turned around and acquired West Bromwich Albion, wanting to continue to make a big splash in football. As a shrewd football businessman, Bates, who already owns a Premier League club, has a keen sense of Leeds United's financial crisis. He realized that this was a great opportunity to acquire Leeds United at a lower price. Originally, he was about to enter the substantive negotiation stage, but it was temporarily shelved due to the sudden death of Li Shiguang's father. As a shrewd football businessman, Bates, who already owns a Premier League club, has a keen sense of Leeds United's financial crisis. He realized that this was a great time to acquire Leeds United at a lower price. He was about to enter the substantive negotiation stage, but it was temporarily shelved due to the sudden death of Li Shiguang's father. His idea is that after the acquisition is successful, he will not rush to invest a huge amount of money immediately, but take over the club first and keep the status quo for a while. He knows that in the future British football market, clubs like Leeds United with a large fan base will become popular investment targets. At that time, he plans to resell it at a higher price and make a huge profit again.

But now looking at the newspaper in his hand.

Bates couldn't help laughing: "Hahahaha, this Li is really a person who knows nothing about football."

It seems that the team's main force has lost too much, which made him desperate and actually signed a famous butter hand. This transfer operation is extremely stupid in Bates's view.

But for Bates, it made him give up the idea of acquiring Leeds United before the start of the season.

The English Championship will officially start next weekend. With Leeds United's current lineup and low morale, it is impossible to achieve much good results in the new season.

If I make a move at that time, wouldn't it be like picking it up for nothing?

········

At this time, Li Shiguang was concentrating on studying the system interface.

Suddenly, he received a call from his assistant Allen.

"Boss, the offer you arranged before has been accepted by all clubs. I will arrange personnel to negotiate personal contracts with the players as soon as possible."

Hearing this news, Li Shiguang breathed a sigh of relief.

The new season is about to begin, and the goal of promotion to the Super League cannot be achieved with only one goalkeeper.

On the way to Manchester, Li Shiguang had already made a list and instructed the club staff to send offers to the clubs of these players.

They are Adebayo, Chiellini, Tevez and Sneijder.

The current value of these future stars is still relatively low, but he knows that they will play high-light performances in the future, so their value will skyrocket. When the time comes, he will resell them and should be able to completely solve the club's financial crisis.

After removing Howard's 3 million euro transfer fee, he still has a budget of 17 million euros left, and he must be frugal to hold on until the winter window opens.

Thanks to the strength of the system and the advantage of his own rebirth, as long as the financial crisis is resolved and the first transfer funds are available, Li Shiguang can always ensure that his team is full of future talents.

Now that Leeds United's offer has been responded to, the next step is to focus on negotiating personal contracts with the players.

After the players' problems are solved, it's the coaching issue.

Li Shiguang felt sick when he thought of Blackwell's round face with a fake smile. This old man dared to stab me in the back. Let him jump around for two more days, and I must find a reason to get rid of him.

August 7, 2004.

Elland Road Stadium.

Leeds United VS Derby County

The first game of the new season for Leeds United is about to start.

The players of both sides have warmed up on the court.

The live commentator Ere Geddy is introducing the starting lineups of the two teams.

When Howard was introduced as the starting goalkeeper of Leeds United.

The fans at the scene burst into a huge boo.

"We don't need a butter hand!"

"Leeds United is finished, this Oriental guy doesn't understand football at all, how could he sign a goalkeeper who can't even hold the ball."

"Oh, my God, is Blackwell old and confused? How could he put Howard in the starting lineup?"

"My cousin works at the club. He heard that it has nothing to do with Blackwell, but that damn Oriental guy. He actually agreed to Howard's requirement to start the game and even wrote it into the contract!"

"We can't let this Oriental guy harm Leeds United anymore! Where's Bates? Isn't he going to acquire Leeds United? Why hasn't he taken any action yet!"

"Let this

Get the oriental guy out of Elland Road, Leeds United does not welcome him! "

The fans of Derby County, who came from afar, were laughing at the huge electronic screen on the field.

Seeing Leeds United's starting lineup, there should be no problem with a good start.

At this time, Bates, as Leeds United fans call him, was sitting in front of the TV watching the game.

When he heard that Howard was on the starting list, he also laughed with gloating.

In his opinion, Leeds United should be playing badly in the new season.

It's good that way. The worse Leeds United's performance is, the greater the advantage he has when proposing the acquisition, and the more support he can get from the fans.

After the warm-up, the players returned to the lounge one after another to listen to the coach's final tactical arrangements.

Then, under the leadership of the referee, the players of both sides entered the field.

The players of Leeds United had heard the huge boos from the fans in the player channel before.

Originally, the transfer The turmoil in the team during the meeting had already made the players panic, and the huge boos and abuse at Elland Road at this time brought them great pressure.

Howard, who had endured most of the abuse, lowered his head and took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner waves, secretly thinking that he must concentrate after the official opening, and must not make low-level mistakes like in the previous training.

At this time, above their heads, in the VIP box exclusive to Leeds United, Li Shiguang stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the box, looking at his team calmly.

Although he was just watching from a distance, he could also feel the players' morale gradually declining under the boos of the fans on the scene.

Especially when the live director gave the picture to Howard, it caused the fans to abuse even louder.

Li Shiguang quickly called out the system.

"Peak Buffon Template Experience Card (Duration: 4 months), start."

"Please host select the applicable object."

"Applicable object, Timothy Matthew Howard. ”

About two or three seconds later, a blue font popped up on the system panel: Template startup completed!

Immediately afterwards, Howard's brand new panel appeared in front of Li Shiguang.

[Timothy Matthew Howard] (Peak Buffon template loaded, 4 months remaining)

[Age]: 24

[Offensive Threat]: 37

[Defensive Strength]: 97
