The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 042

042 Find a Teacher for Modric
Leeds United are offering Albertini £ 10, 000 a week, the highest salary in the RUF, at around £ 600, 000 a year, a far cry from his previous contract of € 1. 2 million.

However, Zhong Cheng assured Albertini that as long as the team upgrades next year, the team and all the players of the team will receive a salary increase, and Albertini’s salary will rise significantly next year.

What Albertini valued now was the opportunity to play football, and what he valued more was the three-year contract offered to him by Leeds United. After all, after three years, he was already 35 years old.

Albertini knows that Premier League manager Arsene Wenger gives every year to veterans over the age of 30, regardless of who you are or how glorious your past has been. Leeds United could offer him a three-year contract at this time, and he could feel the surging sincerity from Leeds United.

Although Albertini is also worried about adapting to the style of English football, it seems that Italians have not done well in England in the past.

Zhong Cheng immediately used Zola and Vialli to reassure Albertini that Zola was the best foreign player in Chelsea’s history and lagged behind King Cantona in the Premier League’s top foreign player of the decade.

After dispelling all concerns, Albertini formally agreed to join Leeds United.

The next morning, Leeds United’s official website updated their transfer announcement. An Italian man with curly hair and Zhong Cheng stood in front of a backdrop covered in Leeds United’s emblem, holding the Leeds United white number four shirt.

Below the picture, there is a phrase: “Warmly welcome Italian Master level midfielder Demetrio Albertini to join Leeds United, I hope that Demi will usher in a new glory at Leeds United!”

After the news came out, the official website of Leeds United instantly became popular. Countless fans exclaimed in admiration as they browsed through the news. It was really Demetrio Albertini, one of the four hottest midfielders of the ’90s.

Many Leeds United fans were very excited. This news was exciting. Although Leeds United were still visa-free this time, they were still visa-free maniacs. But this is Albertini, Albertini!

But there were more opponents, so what about Albertini?

There are not many successful Italians in England. How many Italians have come to England to fight these years? How many Italian stars have come here? But how many have really succeeded? Who can guarantee that Albertini will succeed?

Most importantly, Albertini is already 32 years old. He is no longer young. It is obvious that such a person comes to Leeds United for retirement. It is useless for such a player to come to Leeds United. Albertini was here to dig out the foundations of Leeds United.

Obviously, Albertini was implicated by Zhong Cheng. If the chairman and head coach of Leeds United were not Zhong Cheng, the Leeds United fans would definitely applaud and welcome Albertini’s arrival. However, it was precisely because Albertini had brought him loyalty that he was endlessly criticized.

However, Albertini was not angry, which became his reason for striving. A year from now, he will be mocked by everyone who lowers their heads and kowtows to admit their mistakes.

–Division Line–

That afternoon, Zhong Cheng brought Albertini to the Leeds United training ground to meet his future teammates.

The young players at Leeds United were all very excited. This was Albertini.

Bendtner, Russ Diarra, Modric, and the others wanted Albertini to look at him with admiration. To be able to work with such a superstar, they felt that they were happy to die.

Modric and the others wanted to rush forward and make close contact with Albertini, but they were afraid of causing Albertini’s dissatisfaction, so they were afraid.

Only Ribery stood aside, his eyes fixed on Albertini.

Ribery did not pursue Albertini. He was very successful and great in Ribery, but he did not pursue and admire Albertini because he firmly believed that he would become such a person in the future.

Ribery clenched his fists and roared in his heart, “I, Ribery, must succeed. I must become a more successful man than Albertini. I must!”

Zhong Cheng smiled and introduced Albertini to his subordinates. “That’s right, this is your new teammate Demi. I hope you can get along well in the future.”

Bendtner immediately moved forward and arrived in front of Albertini. He said excitedly, “Hello Demi, I really like you. I never thought that I would be able to become a teammate with you!”

Albertini looked at the young man in front of him. He smiled warmly and said, “It’s a pleasure to be your teammate, little fellow!”

Seeing Albertini talking to him, Bendtner was so happy that he jumped up.

When the other youths saw Bendtner rush forward, Albertini was not angry, but rather very approachable. These youths immediately surrounded him.

Zhong Cheng smiled bitterly and coughed, “Alright, alright! This is not Demi’s fan meeting. All of you, be honest. Remember that you are players and train well for me, okay?”

The little fellows from Leeds United immediately stopped, all of them extremely serious and turned around to train.

Albertini was interested. He glanced at Zhong Cheng. They did not expect Zhong Cheng to have such prestige among these players. After all, Zhong Cheng was only 22 years old. He was very young!

Zhong Cheng suddenly shouted, “Luca, you stay!”

Modric looked at Zhong Cheng doubtfully, but he still stayed!

“Demi, this is Luca, a very talented midfielder, I hope you can teach him well,” Zhong Cheng said as he brought Modric to Albertini’s side.

Hearing Zhong Cheng’s words, Modric’s eyes shone with excitement.

Albertini glanced at this very young and tender little fellow in front of him. He was also slightly shocked. He did not expect that the person Zhong Cheng liked the most was actually the child in front of him.

Albertini saw the desire in Modric’s eyes. Albertini nodded and said, “Don’t worry, boss. I won’t disappoint you!”

Modric also jumped up in surprise.

Zhong Cheng rolled his eyes at Modric and scolded seriously, “Seriously, if you let me know that you’re not a good student, I’ll see how I deal with you!”

‘”Don’t worry, boss! I’ll definitely learn it well. I’ll definitely learn all of Master’s skills!” Said Modric excitedly.

Looking at Modric’s excited expression, Zhong Cheng and Albertini smiled at each other.

On the same day Albertini joined Leeds United, the official website of Leeds United updated the news later that Leeds United had spent £ 2 million to bring Croatian international striker Olic from the Russian CSKA Moscow.

Born on September 14, 1979 in Davos, Croatia, Ivica Olic first played for a small club in Croatia and joined Hertha Berlin in 1998 at the age of 19.

But Hertha Berlin was a nightmare for him, because he had only stayed here for half a year and had only played two games without scoring a goal, where he himself thought he was going to hell.

He then returned to Croatia, where he became famous as a teenager. Two years later, he joined Dinamo Zagreb, where his career had improved by leaps and bounds, becoming the league’s best striker of the year and joining the Croatian national team for the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan.

After that, he became a regular regular regular for the Croatian national team, and last year he moved to the Russian giants CSKA Moscow for a fee of 5 million euros.

However, he has not performed well for CCKA Moscow this season, and at this time, Leeds United are looking for CCKA Moscow.

Zhong Cheng was optimistic about this guy. Oli ć had speed and was very active. He ran tirelessly in the front court, and his consciousness of snatching back was very outstanding. This was very suitable for Zhong Cheng’s current tactics.

Zhong Cheng also knows that a few years later, when Oli ć left CSKA Moscow, he moved to Hamburg for 2 million euros. Then he joined Bayern Munich, where he reached his peak.

At first CSKA Moscow demanded € 4 m, but in the end the deal was negotiated and Leeds United paid £ 2 m for the Croatian international.

Oli ć is a Croatian state, so there is no need to worry that he will naturally be able to obtain a labour permit.

After joining Leeds United, Olich instantly became the standard-bearer in the transfer market this season.

England fans and Leeds United fans are not optimistic about Olic, although this guy is Croatia international, but so what? They all thought that Olich was not worth 2 million euros and mocked Zhong Cheng for being wronged.

The Leeds fans cursed at Zhong Cheng crazily, urging him to get out of Leeds. Leeds United fans found another reason to attack Zhong Cheng, attacking him crazily and humiliating him fiercely. Even Albertini and Olic were mocked.

–Division Line–

At this time, Leeds United’s third warm-up game of the season is coming. Leeds United’s opponent is Livingston from the Scottish Premier League. Last season, Livingston was ranked ninth in the Scottish Premier League, which is the bottom four in the league.

This opponent was not strong, but at least he came from Su Chao’s team.

Manchester Evening News reporter Bradley Wilson wrote in his column: “Don’t think you’re number one in the world after beating two low-level English teams. Leeds United are sure to lose against Su Chao’s team this time and Madman Loria will pay a heavy price for his madness.”

As soon as Bradley Wilson finished speaking, he was slapped in the face. In the third warm-up game, Leeds United beat Livingston 1-0 away, with Dutchman Huntelaar scoring.
