This is Leeds United's 26-man squad this season, the 26-man roster is already a lot, although many teams have a 32-man roster, but in Zhong Cheng's view, these people are enough, and many people are still multi-skilled, Zhong Cheng decided that there is no need to introduce new players.

Zhong Cheng directly announced that Leeds United's recruitment this season has been completed, and Leeds United has closed the transfer door.

As soon as the news came out, everyone laughed at Zhong Cheng frantically, claiming that Zhong Cheng's reinforcements were all shit, and they all ridiculed Zhong Cheng, claiming that if Zhong Cheng used this squad to play in the Championship, Leeds United would lose scum.

In this transfer period, Zhong Cheng spent about 4.6 million, and the most expensive signing was spent on Olich, 2 million pounds. Then there is Huntelaar £900,000, then Modric and Joel Luka, who are priced at £1 million in a package, then Zimbond at £350,000 and Vermaelen at £200,000, adding up to £4.45 million.

This is incomparable with the Premier League's tens of millions of pounds at every turn, and this season, after the madman Mourinho took charge of Chelsea, he spent a lot of money and spent hundreds of millions, which is naturally incomparable to Zhong Cheng and Leeds United.

Moreover, Leeds United's spending is somewhat unranked in the Championship, and many Championship teams this season have spent tens of millions of pounds to bring in reinforcements, and there are also many Championship teams that spend tens of millions of pounds.

Leeds are really drizzling compared to these teams. Of course, Leeds United are spending a lot of money on the transfer market, at least they are not the least spendable of the Championship teams.

However, they were rated by the British media as the worst cost-effective team to recruit, Bradley Wilson said this, although Olic is a Croatian country, but the value of 2 million pounds is really too high, and his strength does not match, not to mention Huntelaar, Modric and the like, they all think that Zhong Cheng is spending money indiscriminately, which is completely to bring Leeds to the rhythm of the pit.

Bradley Wilson also wrote in his column: "Maniac Loya is spending so much money on the transfer market, bringing in players who have not proven themselves, and even many players have no experience in the professional league, they are all fledgling hairy boys, these guys can adapt to the Championship league is called a ghost." In fact, from the introduction of Loya the madman, we can see that Leeds United is finished, and the madman Loya has played Leeds United badly!"

Crazy Loya is simply a visa-free maniac, we all know that after the acquisition of Leeds United, Maniac Loya is saddled with a huge amount of debt, but you don't need to deduct it like this, in this transfer market, Maniac Loya is a total of 9 players who are free of sign, not counting the 3 players who came out of the youth team and the reserve team, he has introduced a total of 15 players this season, of which 9 are visa-free, what is this crazy to do?".

Bradley Wilson also said: "And almost all of these players in front of him are some young players, several of them are amateur players, only Albertini is over 25 years old among the 9 people who are exempt from his visa, 32 years old, only three people are 25 years old, the youngest is 17 years old, and the oldest is only 21 years old, relying on these young amateur players who are free of signage, where does the madman Loya come from, dare to claim that he is a genius, where does he have the courage to claim that he wants to build Leeds United into a giant? Even the ignorant and fearless madman would not dare to do this, and the madman Loya is really crazy to the point of madness.

Ridley Wilson has not let Zhong Cheng go, he continued: "According to our statistics, there are only 2 players over 30 years old in this Leeds United team of Madman Loya, only 6 players between 25 and 29 years old (including 25 years old), only 7 players between 20 and 25 years old (including 20 years old), 11 players between 16 and 20 years old (not including 20 years old), and 2 players are only 16 years old. Bradley

Wilson claimed: "This team with an average age of 21.35 years old is the youngest team in the Championship, can such a team adapt to the high intensity of the Championship?

Bradley Wilson said loudly: "Looking at these statistics, does anyone dare to say that Leeds United can succeed in relegation? Crazy Loya is dead, Leeds United is finished!"

Countless media have reprinted Bradley Wilson's report, and they have echoed it, claiming that Crazy Loya is simply crazy, and he does things according to the laws of football at all, such a team, even if it goes to the youth league or the reserve league, it can't reach the top ten, let alone the Championship, and the crazy Loya is completely nonsense, looking for death.

The local media in Yorkshire also had huge doubts about Zhong Cheng, questioning Zhong Cheng one after another, calling for Zhong Cheng to get out of Leeds United, and return Leeds United to the fans.

Leeds United fans gathered together, swearing Zhong Cheng frantically, burning Zhong Cheng's various posters, burning Zhong Cheng's No. 0 jersey, slamming and cursing Zhong Cheng outside the Leeds United club building every day, and even someone went to intercept Zhong Cheng halfway and smashed Zhong Cheng's glass.

Even, with only two days before the new Championship season, someone issued a death threat to Zhong Cheng on Leeds United's official website, telling Zhong Cheng to announce his resignation and leave Leeds United within 10 days, otherwise they would assassinate and tear up the ticket.

This incident caused a great sensation, and countless Leeds United fans supported these terrorists, which shocked the fans of the British continent, it turned out that the madman Loya was so unpopular at Leeds United.

Seeing this, Zhong Cheng was furious and claimed that he must dig out this group of garbage and bring it to justice.

━━━ Dividing Line ━━

Leeds had a tumultuous and chaotic day, and it didn't look like the season was about to start.

Zhong Cheng has been very annoyed lately, and a long time ago, Zhong Cheng implemented closed training, so that the Leeds United players can stay away from the hustle and bustle and seriously devote themselves to the preparation of the new season.

In the first game of the new season, Leeds United will take on Derby County at their home stadium.

It's a good team and there is a grudge between Derby County and Leeds United. This was mainly due to the feud between the two coaches Don Leevy and Brian Clough, during which Don Levi's Leeds United and Brian Clough's Derby County were in the limelight for a while, and the two teams were the most direct opponents.

At one point, Don Leave's side lost to Brian Clough's Derby County by one point to the league title. And during that time period, Brian Clough was madly attacking Don Rievie, criticizing Don Rivi's tactics as being too brutal, unsportsmanlike, and a regression in football, and the feud between the two was formed, and the feud between Derby County and Leeds United came from this.

There was once a movie dedicated to this event, called "Devil's United", also known as "Damn United".

Although the feud between these two teams is not as fierce as the feud between Leeds United, Liverpool and Manchester United, nor as fierce as the feud between Derby County and Nottingham Forest, this game will certainly be very hot, which is a historical legacy of both teams.

For this match, Zhong Cheng has only one goal, and that is to win.

The day before the race, Zhong Cheng was interviewed by Yorkshire Post reporter Kelly Fox, in which Zhong Cheng expressed his determination to win.
