The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 211

211 Labor Permits Are the Biggest Hurdle

China’s Guoqing lost to Germany with great regret, ending their trip to the World Youth Championship.

However, in this year’s World Youth Championship, the Chinese National Youth Team performed extremely well, causing many people’s eyes to shine, attracting countless attention.

There are a lot of European teams looking at the players in the Chinese National Youth Formation.

One of the Italian teams valued Chen Tao, the core midfielder of the China Youth Team. Chen Tao’s performance in this match was very outstanding and eye catching. He was the only player in the China Youth Team who scored three goals, and he also scored assists.

Most importantly, his organization in the midfield had managed the China Youth Team very well and was a very eye-catching player.

Moreover, last year, Chen Tao had only entered the first team of Liaoyang Jinde and had become the best new player in the Chinese Super League. Moreover, he had gone to the Belgian team Anderlecht for a week of trial training, played two games, scored five goals, and won Anderlecht’s praise. Anderlecht hoped to introduce Chen Tao, but Liaoyang Jinde’s bid was too high, directly scaring people away.

Now that an Italian team had taken a fancy to Chen Tao, Chen Tao should be starting his trip to Liu Yang.

However, Zhong Cheng was very clear that this was definitely a long-term disaster for Chen Tao!

Liaoyang Jinde wanted to pay an astronomical transfer fee, which made these European teams hesitate. In order to resist, the two sides broke up unhappily, and Chen Tao was injured, suspended from training, suspended from salary, and practically without a ball to play.

The last generation of Chinese geniuses was destroyed just like that.

Zhong Cheng’s heart ached when he thought of this. There was no shortage of talented players in Chinese football.

Zhong Cheng was thinking about what would happen this time. Would Chen Tao still be like what he remembered?

Apart from Chen Tao, the captain of the Central Youth Team, Feng Xiao Ting, has also attracted the attention of countless teams. Several teams from the Serie A League have expressed a strong interest in him, hoping to bring in this central defender.

Also, Gao Lin, Hao Junming and the others were valued by European teams.

Especially Hao Junming, who went to Chelsea Football Club in the Premier League on a trial basis before the Dutch World Youth Championship. Back then, Chelsea gave Hao Junming a good evaluation. Now that the World Youth Championship is not over, and the Chinese team’s match has just ended, Hao Junming received a second invitation from Chelsea Football Club, hoping that Hao Junming would go to Chelsea to train again.

Chelsea Football Club are clearly interested in Hao Junming and their biggest concern is the issue of labour permits.

Hao Junming has accepted Chelsea’s invitation and will be heading to Chelsea Football Club for another trial in the near future.

This year’s Chinese National Youth Team is indeed very good. If it wasn’t for some objective reasons, perhaps there would really be a few players who could have landed in Europe.

–Division Line–

The performance of the China Youth Team in this competition was indeed beyond the expectations of many people, especially Augusto Daniel’s expectations.

Augusto Daniel said to Zhong Cheng, “Boss, there are a few good players in this team. Do we also bring in one or two players from them? Just like the outside media said?”

Yes, the media reporters have already made a ruckus about this matter.

Because Zhong Cheng was sitting on the sidelines of the four matches of the China Youth Team. Wasn’t this to examine what the players of the China Youth Team were doing?

The Chinese media attaches great importance to this matter. They are very happy and excited. They claimed in the report that Zhong Cheng had already taken a fancy to a player. In these four matches, Zhong Cheng was examining the player. Very soon, everyone will be optimistic that there will be Chinese players joining Leeds United.

The Chinese fans were very excited and excited when they saw the news. Now they won in the brain. They were all guessing who would join Leeds United. Some thought it was Chen Tao. After all, Chen Tao was the best performer of the Chinese national youth team in this World Youth Championship, and he was also the most talented player.

Of course, there were also people who thought it was Zhao Xuri, because the Leeds United Club was lacking a defensive waist, which was the same type as Zhao Xuri.

Some people thought that Zhong Cheng was interested in Feng Xiao Ting. Feng Xiao Ting’s performance on the defensive line was very stunning. Now that he was a hot spot in the Chinese National Youth Team, it should be normal for Zhong Cheng to be interested in him.

Moreover, Leeds United’s current centre-backs are all young players. Feng Xiao is able to survive and compete with them for a place in the starting line-up …

In any case, at this time, the Chinese fans are very concerned about this matter, enthusiasm is high.

Augusto Daniel also felt that there were one or two players in the China National Youth Formation who were qualified to join their Leeds United Club. If they were properly nurtured, perhaps the future would be good. Moreover, the club’s boss, Zhong Cheng, seemed to be very optimistic about China’s national youth. He had watched all four matches, so Augusto Daniel wanted to ask Zhong Cheng a question.

Zhong Chengshi frowned slightly and said, “One or two of these players are not bad, but it is very difficult for them to get a work permit. There is really no point in bringing them in. It is very difficult for them to play for Leeds United.”

Yes, Zhong Cheng really did not intend to bring in Chinese national youth players. These were all speculations made by the media reporters.

The reason why he wanted to watch these four matches on the spot was mainly because he wanted to experience the atmosphere on the spot. He came as a Chinese football fan, not as president and head coach of Leeds United.

The 2005 World Youth Championship in the Netherlands should be considered a pinnacle of Chinese men’s football. After that, Chinese men’s football really did not make any achievements, making everyone extremely sad. In the later generations, Zhong Cheng was also a bad-hearted Chinese football fan, but he had never experienced such an experience, so he came.

Zhong Cheng said directly, “Don’t mention this matter anymore. Let’s observe the other players.”

–Division Line–

At this time, the Dutch World Youth Championship was not over.

On the contrary, the Dutch World Youth Championship is now at its most crucial moment, and it is becoming more and more exciting. Because the World Youth Championship had shockingly entered the top eight.

This year’s World Youth Championship had some superstars, but in Zhong Cheng’s memory, there weren’t many people who truly moved the world in this year’s World Youth Championship. However, there was a heavenly king-level figure, Leo Messi.

Leo Messi’s performance was excellent, but Zhong Cheng knew that Messi had no part to play. Messi is not for sale in Barcelona, and Messi is also very loyal to Barcelona, he will not leave Barcelona.

Zhong Cheng’s gaze fell on Nigerian starlet Mikel, who had performed so well in this year’s World Youth Championship that many even compared him to Messi. However, after he went to Chelsea, he did not reach the level that everyone expected.

However, Mikel has become a good player.

Zhong Cheng was confident that Mikel would be nurtured. He hoped to bring Mikel to Leeds United. However, Mikel also did not have a labor permit. This matter was more troublesome.

Of course, apart from these two people, there were also many new stars appearing. However, in Zhong Cheng’s memories, none of these novices had a good time afterwards?

Especially now the hottest Dutch football star in the World Youth Championship, Quincy Abed, who disappeared from everyone’s sight. Zhong Cheng naturally wouldn’t take a fancy to these players. What he cared about was that there weren’t many people.

Zhong said to Augusto Daniel, “Augusto, follow Nigeria and focus on Nigeria’s Taiwo and Mikel, especially Mikel!”

Hearing Zhong Cheng’s words, Augusto Daniel nodded and said, “I see, boss. Don’t worry, we will definitely complete the task you gave me!”

Zhong Cheng nodded. He believed in Augusto Daniel.

After sending off Augusto Daniel, Zhong Cheng was thinking about attracting reinforcements. The move now has to go ahead, as the build-up begins in mid-July to prepare for next season. At this time, he had to make things better.

First, Zhong Cheng had to find a centre-back to replace Boumsong. Even if Boumsong couldn’t leave, he wouldn’t give Boumsong any chance. Therefore, it is urgent to find a centre-back who can play in the game.

Of course, Brazilian centre-backs David Louis and Tiago Silva are far away and cannot quench their thirst.

Zhong Cheng still has to find these players in the EU member states, preferably England’s home centre-back, so there won’t be any labor permit problems.

However, it is very difficult to buy a strong local centre-back. There were very few good local players, and they were all hot sellers. Their status was often much higher than that of foreign players. Therefore, Zhong Cheng still hopes to find some strong central defenders from EU member states.

Apart from the centre-back, Zhong Cheng also needed a back two to replace the departing Davis.

When Davis left Leeds United, Zhong Cheng made it clear that he wanted Davis to move to Leeds United, which needed him badly. However, Davis still refused because he had already found a new home and was going to join Tottenham Hotspur this season.

There was nothing he could do. After Davis the wild boar lost, Zhong Cheng had to find a backside that could kick the main force as soon as possible. Only then would they be able to cope with a two-line battle.

At this moment, Zhong Cheng received bad news.

Tiago Silva is reluctant to join Leeds United.

And Zhong Cheng understands that Tiago Silva has been very unhappy at Portugal’s Porto side. After arriving at the team, he had no chance at all. He had always been in the youth team and reserve team, and had never played for the Porto Club.

Even so, Tiago Silva was not interested in Leeds United. Because he doesn’t want to stay in the youth team and reserve team anymore, he wants to play in the first team.

Diego Silva won’t get a work permit if he moves to Leeds United and he will only be in the youth team or reserve team. Of course, it would be best to rent it out. However, if he loaned out, it would be better for him to directly transfer to another team.

So Tiago Silva has rejected Leeds United’s offer to move to Russia in the near future.

Hearing this news, Zhong Cheng sighed helplessly.

What a good centre-back, but it’s a pity that there’s no fate with their Leeds United club. At this time, Zhong Cheng had no choice but to lash out at England’s damned labor permit system. How many talented young players would he want to keep out of the Premier League?
