The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 557
557 This Was Going to Be Ripped off Again!
The Premier League this season is very intense, especially against three or four teams, countless teams rushed up, now it depends on who is unstable first.
However, Manchester United have been too strong this season. They are now firmly at the top of the table, five points ahead of second-placed Leeds United, eight points ahead of third-placed Leeds United and 13 points ahead of fourth-placed Arsenal. This result really makes many people dizzy.
Even Zhong Cheng was surprised to see Manchester United’s points.
Manchester United’s record so far was 13 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, with 41 points. This record was truly frightening. No wonder Manchester United were so arrogant and arrogant this season.
Manchester United have been in good shape this season, especially at the back.
The defence of Vidić and Rio Ferdinand is very solid. Now they have scored 32 goals and conceded only 10. It’s a terrifying result.
Manchester United have scored the most goals and attacked the most in the Premier League this season. They have lost less than second place and conceded less than Chelsea. Chelsea have conceded only seven goals so far. Both teams are very sharp. No wonder they are in the top two.
This season, Leeds United’s offensive strength was slightly lower than last season, and they conceded a lot of goals. This was mainly because Leeds United’s players were not in good condition this season.
Especially Ribery’s condition. His condition affected the quality of Leeds United’s counter-attack. There was a big gap between his substitutes and him along the way. Therefore, this affected Leeds United’s performance.
It seemed that Zhong Cheng needed to find a stronger substitute for Ribery, and at the same time, he was willing to play a rotating substitute for Ribery.
With less than a month to go before the transfer window opens, Zhong Cheng will be able to find a substitute for Ribery. Actually, Zhong Cheng hoped that Hulk would return, but Hulk still couldn’t get a labor permit.
Hulk has done well in Belgium and has played in the UEFA Cup this season. He has done well and has attracted the attention of many teams. However, it did not attract the attention of the Brazilian national team, because at this time, the Brazilian national team was on a downhill road, but it was relatively talented.
Hulk was not selected for the Brazilian national team, so he could only obtain Belgian citizenship after staying in Belgium for three years, thus obtaining European membership, so that he could directly play for Leeds United without applying for a labour permit.
Now that Hulk had only been in Belgium for a year and a half, Zhong Cheng would have to wait for Hulk for at least a year and a half before he could quench his thirst.
Therefore, Zhong Cheng is now asking the scouts of the team to come out. The transfer department of the club is taking action. Now, he is going to find a qualified substitute player for Ribery.
Zhong Cheng also knew that his favourite player, Oli ć, was getting further and further away from Leeds United. To tell the truth, Zhong Cheng really liked Olich’s enthusiasm on the court and his ability to force him to fight back.
Olich never seemed to know how tired he was on the pitch, running from the start until the end of the game.
Such a player, even if his talent is not high, but he is diligent and hard-working, no matter what, there will be a place for him. But now there’s Edison Cavani in the Leeds United formation. To be honest, the way the two played in the front court was quite similar.
Both of them liked to run in large areas, hoping that they would be forced to fight back in the front court, and that they would be even more active and tireless. But Edison Cavani is more than one step ahead of Olich in offense, shooting and so on. Moreover, Edison Cavani is younger and more worthy of nurturing. Therefore, Zhong Cheng’s heart gradually tilted towards Edison Cavani.
Edison Cavani’s chances of playing this season are much better than Olich’s.
Moreover, at this time, Olich himself had the intention to leave, because his chances of staying here were really low, and his space for survival was getting smaller and smaller. He liked Zhong Cheng very much, but he preferred to play with the ball.
Moreover, Olich was a very direct person.
Olich found Zhong Cheng and said, “Boss, I want to leave this winter.”
Zhong Cheng was surprised to hear Olich’s words. What surprised Zhong Cheng was not that Olich wanted to leave, but that Olich had said it so straightforwardly.
It could be seen that Olich’s words had been suppressed in his heart for a long time.
Zhong Cheng stared at Olich and said, “Ivica, you know, I admire you very much.” To be honest, I don’t really want you to leave. “Staying at leeds united is a good complement because you can play forward, play on the edge, play the front waist and, more importantly, your motivation. You are a very good player”
Olich nodded slightly. He naturally knew how much Zhong Cheng valued him, but this season, Leeds United had too many strikers, and they were all too strong. He didn’t have many chances.
More importantly, Olich wanted to play elsewhere. Most importantly, he was no longer young. He was now 27 years old. If you can’t go to a team that can play in the main team, it’s really going to be over.
Olich said, “Boss, I know how much you value me. Thank you very much!”
Zhong Cheng nodded and said, “Of course, I also know that it is irresponsible for you to force you to stay here. You can really play in other teams now. Do you have any goals now?”
Olich was shocked. He didn’t expect Zhong Cheng to be so easy to talk to. He thought that he would only be able to leave if the ink had a good chance. Olich was both happy and bitter in his heart. He was happy that he could really leave and play for another team. The bitter thing was that it seemed like Leeds United really did not have a chance to survive.
Actually, when he saw Edison Cavani’s style of play, Olich realized this. He just didn’t expect Edison Cavani to grow so fast.
Olich immediately said: “There are a few teams who have taken a fancy to me now. They have contacted my agent!”
Zhong Cheng frowned slightly and asked, “Do you tell me which teams they are?”
Olic nodded and said bluntly, “Of course, there are teams like Hamburg and Bremen in Germany, Sheffield in England on Wednesday and Juventus and AC Milan in Italy.”
Zhong Cheng was still a little shocked. He didn’t expect that the Italian giants would actually fall for Olich.
Juventus are lucky to say that they are playing in the Italian Serie B and that there must be a starting place for Olic. However, after Juventus upgrade next season, it is hard to say whether Olic will have a regular place in the squad.
AC Milan are in a very bad situation this season because of the Calciopoli scandal. They started the season with less than 10 points and are still struggling in Serie A. More importantly, their club lost their front line to stop Shevchenko in the summer, and Inzaghi suffered serious injuries, they have been looking for guns.
They have brought in Brazilian striker Ricardo Oliveira over the summer. Ricardo Oliveira has had a brief reign in both Brazil and La Liga and has even been described by the Marca as “a flawless striker!”
The Rossoneri had high expectations for the La Liga top scorer when they introduced him, hoping he could fill the gap left by Andriy Shevchenko.
The AC Milan man gave him a lot of chances and patience, but his performance was terrible and it was a failed deal.
Therefore, the Rossoneri are still worried about their second gun hunt. For some reason, they are eyeing Olic, who can’t play at Leeds United. Perhaps it was Olic who did a great job last season, always scoring important goals for Leeds United at critical moments.
Perhaps AC Milan are not replacing Andriy Shevchenko with Ricardo Oliveira, or perhaps they are hoping to spend the second half of the season with Olivier and look for guns again next summer. Or Oli ć could be introduced as a rotating substitute.
Obviously, the Serie A giants are looking at Olic’s aggressive front court, tireless running and decent shooting.
German teams such as Hamburg and Bremen should have seen Olich’s wonderful performance at the World Cup in Germany and remember him very well. They want to bring in this player of extraordinary strength.
As for Sheffield Wednesday’s team, Zhong Cheng didn’t even need to think about it. This was definitely a moth created by this damn Kramer. This fellow seemed to be fighting against Leeds United. As long as he could dig a corner of Leeds United, he would be very happy, very happy.
However, not long ago, Sheffield Wednesday’s head coach Van Gaal publicly praised Olich, as if he had also taken a fancy to Olich. It turned out that this guy had taken a fancy to Olich a long time ago.
In his previous life, Zhong remembered that when Olich moved to Hamburg in the summer of 2007, the transfer fee was only 2 million euros. At present, this time and space, this price was obviously impossible. This price could only buy Olich’s leg.
Olic was last season’s Premier League and UEFA Cup double winner. And he was a very important rotation player, with a very shocking performance. Moreover, Olic’s performance in the last World Cup was also very experienced and was the best striker on the Croatian national team. And his help to the Croatian national team is not only as simple as scoring goals, but also at the tactical level.
Therefore, in Zhong Cheng’s opinion, Olich’s current status is worth at least 10 million pounds, less than the price of interviews.
‘”Ivica, since you’ve decided to leave, I won’t stop you. But you need to find a team that is willing to pay at least £ 10 million for you, you know?” Zhong said straightforwardly.
Olich heaved a sigh of relief. As long as Zhong Cheng agreed to his transfer, it would be fine. Olich nodded in agreement! Although 10 million pounds is a bit more, indeed very beneficial to the United Black Shop, but Olich still believes that there are clubs willing to bid 10 million pounds for him.
