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

The person who came in was Lina Ulysses, the assistant that Allen hired for Li Shiguang last week.

After Li Shiguang talked with Allen last time, he seemed to put the matter of recruiting an assistant for himself first. Within two weeks, he brought himself a beautiful assistant.

But now Li Shiguang has no mood to appreciate the beauty standing next to him.

First, he took a quick look at the report of the medical team. It was not much different from the system. Kompany, the least injured among the players, needed to rest for at least a week before he could resume training, and it would take at least half a month before he could play; Bale, the most serious one, was estimated by the team doctors to be out for two months.

Li Shiguang, who already knew the answer in advance, did not show much change on his face after reading it. He just frowned slightly and picked up the scout report on the table.

This scout report summarizes some information about potential players collected by Leeds United's scout team in leagues around the world in the past two months. In the morning, Li Shiguang asked Lina to notify the scout supervisor to sort it out, and he would read it after he arrived at the base in the afternoon.

The scout report, which is almost 2 cm thick, lists the basic information of nearly 40 players. In addition to some young talents that scouts think have potential, there are also some players who have become famous but are frustrated in the club for various reasons.

After flipping through it for a while, a name caught Li Shiguang's attention, that is Rivaldo Ferreira.

Although Li Shiguang has some knowledge of this player, one of the heroes who won the World Cup in Brazil three years ago, to be honest, not much.

After winning the World Cup, Rivaldo and Barcelona had some conflicts over salary. Later, when his "old enemy" Van Gaal joined Barcelona, ​​Barcelona directly terminated his contract with him one year in advance. Later, Rivaldo went to AC Milan, but he was unlucky to meet Rui Costa in his prime and Kaka who was improving rapidly, which made him, who was already 30 years old, always at a disadvantage in the competition for the main position. Later, he seemed to leave AC Milan not long after leaving. Li Shiguang didn't pay attention to where he went after leaving.

Now if it weren't for this scout report, Li Shiguang couldn't imagine that the former World Footballer of the Year is now playing in the Greek league!

Li Shiguang didn't set the age range for the scouts to choose players, so this report appeared on his desk. After thinking for a while, Li Shiguang turned to Lina and said, "Ms. Lina, please notify Ron to come to my office. I have some questions to ask him."

After Lina went out, Li Shiguang quickly opened the system. He wanted to take a look at Rivaldo's current specific attributes first.

[Rivaldo Ferreira]

[Offensive Threat]: 86

[Defensive Strength]: 45

[Body Balance]: 72

[Short Pass Accuracy]: 92

[Shooting Accuracy]: 87

[Talent]: S+

[Potential]: No potential to be developed at present

[Current Match Status]: Average

[Player Evaluation]: A former World Footballer of the Year who is full of spirit on the field. Although his overall strength is not as good as before with his age, his rich experience and superb skills can still become the magic weapon for the team to win.

[Overall Assessment]: B-

Looks pretty good. Although he is older and has some decline in physical fitness and physical confrontation, from a technical perspective, he has not declined too much. Maybe he will become more and more powerful as he gets older.

After a while, Ron, the head of scouts of Leeds United, appeared in Li Shiguang's office. After he sat down, Li Shiguang handed him Rivaldo's information first, and then asked: "Ron, who submitted this report?"

After glancing at the scout report in his hand, Ron put it on the table and replied: "Boss, I made the information myself. I was in Greece last month and watched Rivaldo's three games live."

Li Shiguang raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Do you think we can bring him in?"

"Well, I think we can consider renting him, and if the price is right, we can also buy him! When I was in Greece, I talked to Rivaldo's agent. From what he said, Rivaldo is not very satisfied with his current salary. Moreover, next year is the World Cup year, and returning to the mainstream of Europe is not a good thing.

The league will also help him to be selected for the Brazilian national team. "

After hearing Ron's answer, Li Shiguang began to tap the table again. He needed to measure the return on this investment.

If it is just a loan, it should not cost much money. Even if Rivaldo does not perform well after coming, it will not be a waste of money. With such a veteran in the team, while improving the depth of the bench, he can also use his rich experience to help the young players in the team grow faster.

After making up his mind, Li Shiguang asked Ron to contact Rivaldo's agent again. Leeds United can give a salary increase of no more than half of his current weekly salary, and if he can maintain his condition, Li Shiguang will Light will also give him enough playing time.

Ron is very efficient and rushed to Greece that afternoon.

On Wednesday morning, Li Shiguang, who was still on the training ground, received a call from him in Greece. Rivaldo's agent said that if Leeds United can fulfill its promise, Rivaldo will be happy to join.

After the player was settled, the only thing left was to connect with Olympiacos. After throwing the matter to Allen, Li Shiguang did not continue to pay attention to it. Anyway, even if the deal was reached, Rivaldo would not be able to join until the winter transfer period opened at the end of December.

After entering October, the mood of Leeds United fans also It was an exciting roller coaster ride following the team's performance.

Leeds United played a total of 4 Premier League games and 1 League Cup in October.

In the 8th round against Bolton and the 9th round against Newcastle United, Li Shiguang, who had no one available, even arranged Vardy and Milner in the left and right forward positions.

Of course, the final result was not very good. In two consecutive home games, Leeds United failed to win the opponent and only achieved a record of 1 loss and 1 draw.

After two rounds of games, many media have begun to sing the bad news about Leeds United. Under this rhythm, fans have also begun to worry about the status of their own team.

Round 10 Going to the away game to challenge Aston Villa, Berbatov, who was injured the earliest, recovered and returned to the starting lineup, but because he had to play in the League Cup in 3 days, Li Shiguang did not send out the full main lineup for this game.

Facing Aston Villa, which was only ranked 15th after 9 rounds of games, Leeds United, which basically played with all substitutes, did not score a goal until the 77th minute by Vardy, taking away 3 points from the away game.

Facing Watford in the League Cup, Li Shiguang played all the main players and finally defeated the opponent 3:0 cleanly, but just when the media and fans thought that Leeds United had recovered.

Leeds United, who returned to their home court, was tied by the visiting Fulham again!
