The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 675
675 The Mocker Is on the Move
Not long after sending Gary Kelly off, Zhong Cheng’s office welcomed new guests.
Zhong Cheng looked at Diaby who was walking in. He was a little surprised.
After Diaby came to Leeds United, he looked very calm. Usually, he rarely came to communicate with him, and he didn’t even communicate with many teammates around him.
This made Zhong Cheng worry about whether Diaby had any psychological problems and communication obstacles.
However, it seems that this is not the case now. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come to find him on his own initiative, right?
Zhong Cheng looked at Diaby and extended his hand to signal him to sit down. And motioned for Julia Olivera to give Diaby a cup of coffee.
Diaby nodded to Zhong Cheng and sat down generously, which was very different from the state he had shown this season.
Zhong Cheng stared at Diaby. He wanted to see what Diaby was going to do?
Diaby was stared at by Zhong Cheng without any restraint and sat there calmly. This made Zhong Cheng somewhat impressed. This fellow was indeed not the kind of obedient player. He was a very smart player.
To tell the truth, Zhong Cheng was optimistic about Diaby.
However, looking at Diaby’s current state, Zhong Cheng felt that he should be getting farther and farther away from Diaby. Obviously, Diaby had made his decision.
Zhong Cheng said, “Ah Bu, what are your thoughts on coming here? Can you tell me now?”
Abu Diaby said without any hesitation, “Boss, I want to leave Leeds United!”
When Diaby came in and saw his condition, Zhong Cheng had already guessed Diaby’s purpose. But when he said it himself, Zhong Cheng was still a little surprised.
To be honest, Zhong Cheng was really optimistic about Diaby. This guy was known as Vieira’s successor, and Zhong Cheng valued him very much.
However, this fellow wanted to leave now.
Zhong Cheng frowned slightly and said, “Why? Why do you suddenly want to leave?”
Diaby immediately shook his head and said, “No, no, boss. I didn’t want to leave all of a sudden. I’ve been thinking about it for a long time.”
Zhong Cheng nodded slightly. No wonder Diaby looked a little lonely before the team’s interior decoration. It turned out that he wanted to leave a long time ago, so it made sense for him to do so.
Seeing that Zhong Cheng didn’t say anything, Diaby continued, “Boss, I don’t have much chance to play in the Leeds United team. At the back, I was ranked behind Mascherano, Alexander Song, Yaya Touré and even Demi.” At the front waist, I was ranked behind Luka Modric, Joan Gourcuff and Yaya Touré, and my chances were really, really, really low. It’s a lot less than you promised us back then, boss!
Zhong Cheng nodded slightly. Sure enough, it was because of this.
Indeed, in the current Leeds United team, Diaby’s playing time is indeed relatively small, is indeed ranked behind these people.
Zhong Cheng said: “Yes, you don’t have many chances to play this season, but you will have many chances to play next season.” You should be able to sense how much we value you. Now that Mascherano has left and Demi has retired, we are ready to let you take their place and you will be one of the main players of our Leeds United team at the beginning of the season!
Hearing these words, Diaby was slightly absent-minded.
Although he has had few appearances this season, he can still feel the importance the club attaches to him. But Diaby still wants the chance to play. He doesn’t want to waste his time. He has made up his mind to leave Leeds United and has even made private contacts with some teams and reached verbal agreements.
However, at this moment, he heard that Mascherano had left the club.
Diaby was a little surprised. Mascherano is the absolute backbone of Leeds United this season. Why would he leave?
Albertini is retired and, to be honest, Diaby has a good chance of staying.
However, after a brief moment of daze, Diaby forgot about it. Even if these people left, he would be behind Alexander Song and Yaya Touré. Leaving this place and going to other teams, he was the absolute main force.
Diaby immediately said: “Thank you very much for the importance you attach to me, but I’m sorry, boss, I really want to leave, please fulfill!”
Zhong Cheng naturally could tell that Diaby had made up his mind.
Zhong Cheng frowned and asked, “Abramovich, you have already reached an agreement with another team, right?”
Diaby did not panic or hide anything. He nodded and said, “Yes, boss. A lot of teams have spoken to me privately and I have made a verbal agreement with a team.”
To tell the truth, Zhong Cheng was a little angry.
However, Zhong Cheng appreciated Diaby’s honesty and straightforwardness. This was really a headache for him.
Zhong Cheng took a deep breath and stared at Diaby. “Abramovich, are you really determined to leave?” He said.
Diaby became serious. He knew that his answer this time would determine his own fate.
Do you want to leave or stay?
It was in his own thoughts!
Diaby took a deep breath and said, “Yes, boss, I want to leave Leeds United. Thank you very much for the importance you attach to me. Thank you very much!”
Diaby, this is goodbye!
Zhong Cheng felt a little uncomfortable, but he admired Diaby more.
Diaby looked at Zhong Cheng with some apprehension. He did not know what kind of response Zhong Chenghui would give. He was afraid that Zhong Cheng would not let him go. After all, he still has a contract with Leeds United and his penalty stones amount to £ 15 million.
There are not many teams willing to spend £ 15 million on him at this time, and even the team that made the verbal agreement with him would be reluctant to pay a £ 15 million buyout fee for him.
Zhong Cheng saw through Diaby’s thoughts and asked, “Can you tell me which team made the agreement with you?”
Diaby pondered for a moment and then said, “But it’s Arsenal! Professor Ars è ne Wenger admires me very much and has given me a place in the first team!”
Holy shit!
Zhong Cheng was furious. Damn Arsene Wenger, he actually dug into my place. He really is a ghost.
Looks like Ars è ne Wenger has always had a grudge. Nicholas Bendtner and the others that he had stolen from him back then, but now this fellow had actually dug up Diaby. He was truly a scheming fellow.
Zhong Cheng was truly speechless. First, Alex Ferguson poached Carlos Tevez, then Ars è ne Wenger poached Diaby. Looks like he would have to pay him back sooner or later!
It was Ars è ne Wenger who initially favoured Diaby, but he never expected that he would still be obsessed with Diaby. Looks like Arsene Wenger is right this time, he won’t be able to keep Diaby.
Zhong Cheng said, “Well, now that you have thought it through, you have to leave. Well, I can send you away. But you should know that the penalty for breach of contract between you and our club is £ 15 million.”
Hearing this, Diaby’s heart skipped a beat.
If Zhong Chengzhen insists on £ 15 million, he really can’t get out of Diaby. Diaby was a little nervous and nervous.
“We don’t want £ 15 million now,” Zhong said. “If the club you have an agreement with can offer £ 10 million, you can leave.”
Diaby heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Zhong Cheng did not die.
Ten million pounds is still a bit expensive, but compared to 15 million pounds, ten million pounds is still within reach.
Zhong Chengshi continued, “If there is no team willing to bid 10 million pounds for you, you will have to stay at Leeds United. Also, there will be no place for you in my squad. Work hard!”
After saying that, Zhong Cheng stood up and left.
Diaby instantly felt the pressure as he thought of Leeds United goalkeeper ShaunAllaway, who had changed careers earlier. Back then, Zhong Cheng said that he would let ShaunAllaway sit on the reserve team bench, but ShaunAllaway forced him to sit on the bench. In the end, he had no choice but to change his profession and leave professional football.
Zhong Cheng did what he said. Now Diaby felt a lot of pressure. He had to talk to Arsenal about this. Otherwise, his career would be over.
Diaby was very anxious. He stood up and quickly left. He wanted to discuss this matter with Arsenal. It was their fate.
Ten million pounds. Zhong Chengzhen made a profit. In his memories, Arsène Wenge was introduced to Diaby in 2006, when he spent just £ 2 m. Last year, he snatched Arsène Wenge from Diaby. This time, he would earn 8 million pounds. Speaking of which, he earned it loyally.
Perhaps now that Arsène Wenge has spent £ 10 million to bring in Diaby, he will be happy because he has also dug a corner of Zhong Cheng and taken revenge.
However, for Zhong Cheng, this was what he should be happy about. Not only did he dig up a corner of Arsène Wenge, but he also changed hands to make so much money. Zhong Cheng was going to secretly laugh.
However, it didn’t take long for Zhong Cheng to get angry. He was extremely angry.
It was because he had received news that another member of the Leeds RUF wanted to leave. And it was Arsenal’s Arsène Wenge who inspired him!
Zhong Cheng was extremely angry that Arsène Wenge had actually secretly provoked Nicholas Bendtner!
Yes, not long after Diaby left, Nicholas Bendtner also found Zhong Cheng and suggested that he wanted to leave Leeds United. He was willing to be like Diaby, his chances of playing in Leeds United were really too few.
Nicklas Bendtner was ranked behind Luca Tony, Edison Cavani, Darren Bent and Carlos Tevez, with few chances, but his goal efficiency was good, which made them unwilling to be a fifth forward.
Therefore, Nicklas Bendtner wanted to leave.
Ars è ne Wenger came looking for him again and the two of them hit it off before Nicklas Bendtner thought of leaving Leeds United.
Upon receiving this news, Zhong Cheng was extremely angry. Damn Ars è ne Wenger, he actually dared to dig a corner of my wall!
