The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 041

041 The Arrival of the Master Level Midfielder
Born November 15, 1985, in Capellan, Antwerp, Belgium, Thomas Vermaelen started his football career and is still playing for Real Zeminar Bill Schott at Antwerp.

The left-footed, knife-wielding defender is a strong man, the future captain of Ajax and Arsenal, who spent £ 10 million on Vermaelen before moving from Arsenal to Barcelona for € 19 million.

Vermaelen’s strength was very strong. At first, everyone was optimistic about him. Although he showed some outstanding performance, he did not reach the height everyone expected. In the later stages, he was completely destroyed by injuries and became a famous glass man.

However, Vermaelen still has a lot of potential and strength. Most importantly, he is a left-footed centre-back. Zhong Cheng was very interested in him and wanted to bring him to Leeds United.

Zhong Cheng clearly remembered that it was during this season that Vermaelen left Belgium for Holland and joined Ajax Club.

With £ 200, 000, Leeds United have taken care of Real Zeminar Bill Short.

The players were also very happy. Leeds United were a very good team for Vermaelen. The young guard’s reputation was still attracting a lot of young players.

Vermaelen happily signed the contract, which allowed Zhong Cheng to regain some confidence.

Having introduced Vermaelen to the defensive line, Zhong Cheng already felt that the defensive line was enough and there was no need to bring in any more players.

After introducing Vermaelen, Zhong Cheng loaned out Cholluka. The club he loaned out was Dutch side Ajax. Originally, Ajax wanted to buy Cholluka, but Zhong Cheng did not agree.

Zhong Cheng loaned Jorluka to the Dutch club Ajax for three years. After playing here for three years, Jorluka should be able to obtain a Dutch green card. In this way, he would be able to directly work for the Leeds United without applying for a labor permit.

Ajax felt that it was not bad either. He had bought Cholluka on loan for three years, which was equivalent to buying Cholluka at the same time.

For the three years, Ajax only paid Leeds 100,000 euros a year on loan and then paid Cholluka’s salary. That means Ajax will spend 300,000 euros to buy Cholluka for three years.

Previously, Giorluka had signed a six-year contract with Modric and Leeds United, so Giorluka went to Ajax for three years. Three years later, his ownership was still Leeds United.

After sending off Giorluca, Zhong Cheng was looking for a rotation player for Modric in the transfer market. Modric was still very young and there were too many Champions League games in a season. Modric would definitely not be able to work all the time and Zhong Cheng had to find a rotation player for Modric to prevent accidents.

Zhong Cheng turned his gaze to the veterans in the transfer market.

First of all, Zhong Cheng was interested in the famous Gua Tou Gua Diola.

Guardiola has devoted most of his career to barcelona, where he was a regular member of cruyff barcelona ‘s dream team who won the club’ s first champions league title and captained the club for the last four years.

Guardiola and Albertini of Italy, Redondo of Argentina and Paul Sosa of Portugal, also known as the “four geniuses”, have great international prestige.

In Barcelona, he has a lot of popularity and fame. He is a legendary Barcelona star who has played for the club for 17 seasons and won six La Liga titles, one European Cup of Winners, one Champions League title, two Spanish King’s Cup titles, four Spanish Super Cup titles and two European Super Cup titles.

Guardiola is called the “King” by Barcelona fans and is the absolute core of the national team and Barcelona.

In 2001, Guardiola and the club had many conflicts, and ultimately chose to leave and join Brescia. He joined Roma a year later and returned to Brescia in 2003. But Guardiola did not pass the drug test. In the end, he bid farewell to Apennines and went to Qatar for gold to join Al-Ahli. In his first season at Al Ahli, Guardiola won the title of Player of the Year.

Guardiola is still at Al Ahli.

Zhong Cheng remembered that next year, Guardiola would leave Qatar and join a Mexican team, much less football.

However, Zhong Cheng now believes that Guardiola still has the strength, still has the strength to play in the European mainstream league, they are hoping to introduce Guardiola.

After Guardiola came to the club, not only could he rotate with Modric, but he could also teach the young Modric, which was very helpful for Modric’s growth.

After learning that Guardiola was to be introduced, Trivo Burch personally stepped in.

Zhong Cheng did not take action because his mind was focused on the training of the team. Now, it was the most critical moment for the preparation of the new season.

Trivo Burch met Guardiola when he went to Qatar.

But negotiations have not gone smoothly, Guardiola has no intention of returning to European football and earns a good pension in Qatar.

This is mainly because Guardiola left Barcelona in the two years after his unsuccessful experience in Italy made him somewhat discouraged. So he turned down Trevor Burch’s invitation.

And Trivo Burch understands that Qatar’s Al-Ahli has given Guardiola a high price tag. After all, this is the best player in the Qatar League last season, and the salary they paid Guardiola is extraordinarily high, something Leeds United cannot afford.

Trevor Burch had no choice but to return disappointed.

Seeing Trivo Birch return in disappointment, Zhong Cheng sighed. It was a pity that the great Gua Tu of later generations would not be able to connect with Leeds. Looks like it’s really difficult to find a good teacher for Modric.

After missing out on Guardiola, Zhong Cheng turned his gaze to the famous Dmitrio Albertini, another of the Four Talents.

This was also a well-known midfielder. His position was at the waist, but his organization and passing ability were very strong. Especially his accurate long pass and falling leaf ball were talked about by everyone.

This time, Zhong Cheng gave all the work in his hands to Ortega and Rogers. He and Trivo Burch flew directly to Milan, Italy.

That night, Zhong Cheng and Trivo Burch met the world-class midfielder in a Milan restaurant.

Demetrio Albertini had pitch-black curly hair and thick lips. He did not look handsome at all, but his smile was so approachable, and his body emitted an elegant aura from the inside out. His movements were quite grand.

Zhong Cheng had been observing this legendary World Master.

In future generations, The Serie A league was the first league broadcast by CCTV in five sets. Chinese fans and soccer players had a deep and unique feeling towards the Serie A league, and Albertini was also a genius midfielder in the Serie A league during that period. The vice captains of AC Milan and Italy were naturally loved by Chinese fans.

Zhong Cheng also had a deep impression of Albertini and knew him very well.

Dmitrio Albertini came from the AC Milan Academy and after making his debut he was on loan for the 1990-91 season. A year later, Capello took over the Rossoneri, then used Albertini to replace Carlo Ancelotti, and Milan won the Premier League for three consecutive years, setting an unbeaten record of 58 games.

Until 2002, Albertini was at the heart of Milan’s main midfield, and even later, he became the leader of the team and enjoyed a high reputation among the fans.

In his 14 seasons with AC Milan, he has won five Serie A titles, three Italian Cup titles, two Champions League titles and two European Super Cup titles.

In 2002, in the cycle of karma, Ancelotti, who was replaced and retired by Albertini, took over AC Milan. The first thing Ancelotti did was to change the core and kick Albertini out of the Rossoneri, which meant the end of Albertini’s 14-year career at Milan.

He was loaned to Atletico Madrid last year and Albertini was loaned to Lazio last year. Now that Albertini’s contract with Milan has expired, he is free.

Lazio are also said to have lost interest in Albertini at this time because they cannot afford to pay him a high salary. Albertini is still in a difficult situation. He hasn’t found a new home yet.

At this time, Zhong Cheng contacted Albertini’s agent, Brankini. This was also the reason why he had today’s meeting.

Zhong Cheng stared at Dmitrio Albertini and said, “Demi, I know where you are now. I don’t think you are at the age of a hero and you can still fight for your football career! Please don’t doubt the sincerity of our Leeds United.”

Albertini has yet to receive any invitations, and Leeds United was the first to do so.

Naturally, Albertini had no intention of retiring. He felt that he was still young and could play for a few more years. However, at this time, it seemed that many people did not think so, so much so that he did not receive any invitations before the Chinese man arrived in front of him.

Albertini could naturally feel the sincerity of Leeds United when he looked at the Chinese-British man in front of him. However, as far as he knew, the situation of the British Chinese in front of him at Leeds United was not very good. Was going to Leeds United the right choice?

Albertini looked at Zhong Cheng and asked, “As far as I know, you are in a very bad situation!”

Zhong Cheng smiled and said, “Demi, aren’t you in the same situation now?” “We have the same situation and circumstances, and we are all the same people. We will not admit defeat or admit defeat. I think we will be very compatible. We can use our actions and achievements to prove to everyone that this is our era, and you, Demi, are not old yet. You are still the great number four, the great quadruple!”

Of course, Zhong Cheng knew that Albertini could not be boiled up by his words. However, Zhong Cheng was very clear about the unwillingness in Albertini’s heart.

Sure enough, Albertini’s expression was very calm, and he was not charmed at all by Zhong Cheng.

However, Albertini suddenly asked, “Then, Mr. Loria, what is your position for me?”

Zhong Cheng smiled and gave his conditions.

Zhong Cheng did not guarantee Albertini’s starting line-up. Instead, he gave him a place to rotate. In the Champions League this season, he would split the starting position equally with Modric. He also gave Albertini the position of vice-captain, Leeds United’s top-notch annual salary and a three-year contract.

Albertini was tempted and immediately discussed with his agent before agreeing to join Leeds United.
