The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 703
703 Leeds United’s First Asian Tour
At this moment, the transfer market is still bustling with winds and clouds.
Chelsea are desperate to renew Arjen Robben and even offer him a high salary, but have failed to keep the Dutchman. Arjen Robben is determined to join Real Madrid despite dissuasion.
Real Madrid spent 36 million euros on Peter Pan of the Netherlands.
After losing Holland’s Arjen Robben Jr., Chelsea immediately turned their attention to Leeds United, who wanted to move to Franck Ribery.
Even Chelsea Football Club are willing to offer £ 27 million for Franck Ribery, who is currently injured, and even Abramovich is willing to offer £ 30 million.
However, Zhong Cheng rejected Chelsea’s offer without hesitation.
Franck Ribery is not for sale at Leeds United and is a legendary symbol of Leeds United.
Having suffered a loss at Leeds United, Chelsea immediately turned their attention to the Frenchman, young winger Malouda of Lyon, who offered Lyon 20 million euros and Lyon agreed directly.
This was because a genius like Ben Alpha had emerged from the Lyon youth team. This was someone Zhong Cheng valued, and it could completely replace Malouda.
Therefore, Lyon did not even think about selling Malouda directly to the Chelsea man for 20 million euros.
At this time, Leeds United did not chase after the market.
They first brought in tall German right-back Jerome Boateng from Hertha Berlin for 1 million euros and then young defender Matz Hummels from Bayern Munich for 2 million euros.
At first, Bayern Munich were reluctant to play Matts Hummels, they still had some fantasies about Matts Hummels. But they knew they didn’t have time to groom Matts Hummels and wouldn’t dare to give young people the chance they did with Leeds United.
Matz Hummels is likely to be crippled on the bench if he stays at Bayern Munich.
At this time, Leeds United are willing to pay Matz Hummels, a young man who has just entered the first team but is unable to play, 2 million euros. The price is already very, very shocking.
Bayern Munich naturally agreed to a move from Leeds United.
Most importantly, Bayern Munich and Leeds United have reached an agreement.
Bayern Munich are keen to bring in Leeds United’s Ribery and Luca Toni this season, but neither of them seems to be for sale and Leeds United will certainly not agree.
However, if Leeds United did not agree, Bayern Munich would not be willing to send Matz Hummels out.
Thus, Zhong Cheng said that Leeds United are willing to sell Luca Tony to Bayern Munich. But Matts Hummels has to be sold to Leeds United.
Martz Hummels has no place for Bayern Munich now, he sells it and nothing else. Most importantly, they were able to bring in Luca Tony.
However, Zhong Cheng also made it clear that Luca Tony could not be sold to Bayern Munich this season, but they could sell Luca Tony to Bayern Munich next season.
Bayern Munich considered it and agreed to Zhong Cheng’s proposal.
Luca Tony is set to officially move to Bayern Munich next season for £ 15 million, making Matz Hummels a member of Leeds United.
At this point in time, Matz Hummels could be worth 2 million euros, and his value was very high. In Zhong Cheng’s memory, Matts Hummels joined Dortmund on loan in the middle of this season. He quickly settled into a regular position at Dortmund and made an amazing performance. A year and a half later, Dortmund spent 4.5 million euros on Matts Hummels.
The current Matz Hummels is a complete newcomer, and being worth 2 million euros is already very, very shocking.
So far, Leeds United have brought in Samir Nasri, Muhammad Sissoko, Jerome Boateng and Matts Hummels in the transfer market, and will welcome back a player on loan, Alexander Pato.
The effectiveness of this move is quite good.
However, this season, Leeds United is not over yet!
At this time, Zhong Cheng had taken a fancy to a player, a young player. A winger of impressive quality is Portuguese youngster Louis Carlos Almeida da Cunha!
Uh … yes, with such a long name, who knows who this guy is?
However, this fellow had a nickname that was very easy to remember. It was also a nickname that would move the world in the future-Nani!
Yes, Zhong Cheng is interested in Cristiano Ronaldo’s junior apprentice-brother Nani in the Portuguese Athletic Team Lisbon!
Nani is very young, but his strength is very strong. Zhong Cheng really wants to bring in this young player.
In the introduction of the young man, Zhong Cheng from Germany’s Red and White Allen Club brought in a young winger Marco Reus.
Marco Reus has just joined Leeds United on loan to League One club Leiden Orient.
Zhong Cheng’s main goal now is to bring in Nani. This move is crucial to the future of Leeds United.
However, it will be very difficult to bring in Nani as Manchester United have also taken a fancy to him.
Chelsea and Bayern Munich have also taken a fancy to Nani. Chelsea have left Arjen Robben and need to be supplemented. Bayern Munich have been hampered by the move to Ribery and are looking for a replacement, Nani.
So now Leeds United face competition from Manchester United, Chelsea and Bayern Munich.
It is very difficult for Leeds United to win Nani.
Meanwhile, the Leeds United players had gathered in England. Of course, the coach who took over was DiMatteo and the others. Zhong Cheng was waiting for them in China.
After the Leeds United team assembled, the team immediately flew to China and began their Asian tour before the new season. The first stop of the Asian tour is Malaysia. After the Leeds United team assembles in China, they will fly to Malaysia.
After Liz United arrived in China, Zhong Cheng saw a few new recruits. Among them, Matz Hummels, Jerome Boateng and Mohamed Sissoko were all big men, taller than Zhong Cheng. They were simply a team of elders.
Zhong Cheng was very satisfied with the arrival of these players. Of course, Leeds United’s new season was not over yet. Now, Leeds United’s goal was to bring in at least one right-back and one defender.
Of course, both the right-back and the waist have the ability to rotate.
With the addition of these players, the season for Leeds United is coming to an end. Of course, the premise was that there would be no more players leaving the Leeds United team. If there were any players who wanted to leave, that would be another matter.
And this time, there were also Hulk, David Louis and the others who had come to gather at Leeds United. They had all come to gather at the team.
While in China, Leeds United’s players were naturally warmly welcomed by the fans. This summer, Leeds United will have two matches in China, one against South China in Xiangjiang, China, and the other a warm-up match at the Yunhai and Beijing National Security Club in China.
However, these two matches will take about ten days.
After staying in China for two days, Leeds United flew straight to Southeast Asia, where they had two games to play. First in Malaysia against Malaysia, then flying to Thailand to play against Thailand.
When they arrived in Malaysia, Leeds United was shocked by the weather. It was really too hot. Moreover, there were many showers, and it was unknown when it would rain. Moreover, the rain came and went quickly. But it was hot. The rain evaporated just after it rained. It was like a steamer.
The Leeds United players want to get out of here and out of Malaysia as soon as possible.
Leeds United did not pay much attention to the game against Malaysia because Malaysia was a semi-professional and semi-amateur team with very few professional players.
One could imagine the strength of such a team.
Zhong Cheng’s squad was also mainly composed of substitutes. The starting line-up was as follows:
Goalkeeper: Simon Minolet
Fourth Guards “Left to Right”: Gareth Bale, Matts Hummels, David Louis and Sagna
Single waist: Yaya Toure
Three avantgarde “from left to right”: Azar, Gourcuff and Khurk
Twin strikers: Edison Cavani and Alexander Pato
This line-up was not something the Malaysian national team could withstand. Although the weather was very bad and had a great impact, Leeds United’s performance was very good. They directly defeated their opponents 3-0.
In the second half of the game, Leeds United were also a few of the main players, allowing the Malaysian fans to see the figures of Leeds United’s stars at close range. The Malaysian fans were naturally very happy and excited.
Leeds United left Malaysia the same day they played the game. The weather is really bad.
The weather in Thailand is not much better. The weather here is hotter, but the rain is a little less and it is dry and hot. The Leeds wanted to flee Southeast Asia as soon as possible.
At this time, Leeds United’s transfer office was attacking Nani in the hope of bringing him to the club. Of course, there were still a lot of troubles.
Now that Leeds United have begun their second Asian tour in Thailand, the Thai national team is stronger than Malaysia, but not much better.
Zhong Cheng’s starting list was as follows:
Goalkeeper: Simon Mignolet
Fourth Guards “Left to Right”: Gareth Bale, Matz Hummel, Gary Cahill and Jemro Boateng
Single waist: Alexander Song
Three avant-garde “Left to Right”: Samir Nasri, Yaya Toure and Hulk
Twin strikers: Robert Levandovsky and Alexander Pato
Such a lineup did not perform well in the first half of this match. There were still some problems with everyone’s cooperation. But they were still much stronger than the Thai national team, leading 1-0 in the first half with a header from Robert Levandovsky and a goal from Alexander Pato.
Leeds United scored two goals in a row after changing some of their main players in the match and won the same 3-0 win over the Thai national team.
In both matches, Leeds United had reservations, but the fans from both countries were very satisfied and were very happy.
