717 There Are Always People Who Want to Dig a Corner
Shortly after Alexander Pato received his work permit, Leeds United welcomed a warm-up match.
Leeds United’s opponent in this match is a team from the League One and is very weak.
Zhong Cheng is now trying to fit in the squad and let the players find their form. He has arranged a full-fledged squad. Today, the starting lineup of Leeds United is as follows:
Goalkeeper: Zhong Zheng
Fourth Guards “Left to Right”: Patrick Aver, Pique, Compani and Sagna
Single waist: Muhammad Sissoko
Three avant-garde “Left to Right”: Samir Nasri, Luca Modric and Joaquin
Twin strikers: Luca Toni and Edinson Cavani
This is Leeds United’s starting line-up for the new season, and there has not been much of a change from last season. If there really was a change, it would be at the back, and it would be Muhammad Sissoko.
Samir Nasri was temporarily replaced by Samir Nasri because he was injured.
Frank Ribery is recovering well now. He should be able to recover from his injuries in one or two rounds before the start of the new season and after the start of the Blood Stage.
However, Zhong Cheng was still a little worried!
Because he had a system mission not completed last season, the penalty is that Leeds United will have two key players seriously injured. Ribery was seriously injured, but there was still one player who was not seriously injured. Zhong Cheng did not know who would be seriously injured?
If he wants to be seriously injured, hurry up and injure him now so that he can at least recover in the transfer window. It would be terrible for Leeds United to be seriously injured after the transfer window ends.
Therefore, Zhong Cheng was still rather worried.
In this match, the opponent’s strength was really not very strong. Zhong Cheng had used this match to find confidence for the Leeds United players. It was useless for tactical testing, and Leeds United dominated the game.
In the fifth minute of the first half, Leeds United took a 1-0 lead with Joaquin’s cross and Luca Toni’s header.
However, the opponent’s way of playing football was still rather savage. His movements were very big and also very fierce.
Seeing this, Zhong Cheng was truly afraid that Leeds United’s players would suffer serious injuries that would affect the new season.
In the 15th minute of the first half, Leeds United widened the score again, scoring Luca Modric, whose direct free-kick broke the opponent’s goal. Looks like Luca Modric has learned a lot from Albertini, at least with a free kick.
Luka Modric will be Leeds United’s first free-kick of the season.
The game was still going on, and Leeds United were firmly in control of the pace of the game. The opponents had no chance at all. Samir Nasri made a quick breakthrough on the side and after a series of phantom swings, he sent the reverse triangle back to the front.
Luka Modric, who was following behind, pretended to shoot long-range and suddenly stuffed the ball into the restricted area. The football rolled under the undefended Edison Cavani in the restricted area.
The players on the side raised their hands to indicate that Edison Cavani was offside, but the referee and linesman ignored it. It was a good goal.
Edison Cavani ignored all of this and shot the ball into the opponent’s goal, 3-0.
After the half-time game, Leeds United led 3-0.
In the second half of the game, Leeds United made a substitution. Matz Hummels, Robert Levandovsky, Alexander Pato and Azar were all substituted for the game.
Even with such people, Leeds United still held the initiative on the pitch, making it difficult for their opponents to do anything.
In the second half, Alexander Pato showed great strength, scoring twice in 10 minutes, helping Leeds United expand the score.
Robert Levandowski gave an assist, which was also a good performance.
In the end, Leeds United beat their opponent 5-0. However, the second half of the game was obviously a bit less control, it can be seen that there is still a gap between the Leeds United substitutes and the main force.
After this match, Zhong Cheng received several offers.
Among them, Chelsea Football Club have officially made an offer for Leeds United’s Frank Ribery because the Chelsea man has failed at Nani. Nani was still taken away by Manchester United, who spent £ 18 million to take the Portuguese away.
The price is much higher than Zhong Cheng remembered, it seems that Chelsea and Bayern Munich have been frantically raising their prices. However, Alex Ferguson was ruthless enough to agree to Nani even at such a high price.
Manchester United seem determined to take revenge this season. They are very sharp in the transfer market and have spent a lot of money.
Manchester United bought Argentine striker Carlos Tevez for around 20 million euros, Hargreaves from Bayern Munich for 25 million euros, Brazilian midfielder Anderson from Porto for 25 million euros and Nani from Sporting Lisbon for 18 million pounds.
Look at all four of them, Manchester United spent nearly 100 million euros!
It looks like Manchester United were hit hard by the reversal of their Premier League title last season by Leeds United, and Alex Ferguson is determined to beat Leeds United to win the Premier League title in the new season. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be so crazy in the transfer market.
Looks like Alex Ferguson was stimulated by Zhong Cheng.
Manchester United’s frenzied approach has naturally attracted the attention of teams like Chelsea and Arsenal. They have also made a lot of offers, let alone Arsenal. They have already spent £ 60 million to £ 70 million on Leeds United, and they have invested a lot this season.
It is now Chelsea, who have so far spent just £ 2, 000 on Malouda and £ 5. 5m on Belletti from Barcelona, and have not had much to offer.
First, Abramovich tightened his pockets and refused to give Jose Mourinho money. Second, Jose Mourinho really can’t compete.
For example, Nani, Jose Mourinho is very, very important.
For Nani’s sake, José Mourinho even gave Zhong Cheng a call to withdraw from Nani’s competition, thus sending out a Glenn Johnson. Originally, he thought that with his Portuguese identity, he would be able to capture Nani first, but how could he have known that Queiroz would be the first to do so?
Not only did José Mourinho not get Nani, he also lost a Glenn Johnson.
José Mourinho was really pissed off at this time. He was pissed off.
Right now, José Mourinho could only change his target. He valued Franck Ribery in the Leeds RUF. Franck Ribery was very strong and after the introduction of him, Chelsea’s wings would take off.
José Mourinho’s first offer to Franck Ribery was £ 20 m. If it had been scum half a season ago, Franck Ribery would have been worth more than £ 30 m, or even £ 50 m.
But at the end of last season, Franck Ribery had a car accident and is still recovering. You know what’s going on in Franck Ribery? So to be able to give Franck Ribery a £ 20 m offer now would be a big risk.
José Mourinho was also forced into a helpless state!
This season, the Premier League is really investing too much, look at Manchester United, Arsenal, looking at Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur and Everton, which club’s reputation is expensive?
They are just short of Chelsea, and if Chelsea don’t bring in some players to strengthen their game, Chelsea will be very uncompetitive this season.
Therefore, José Mourinho had to take the risk, 20 million pounds, quoted an unknown case of injury, José Mourinho is also at risk.
However, when Zhong Cheng saw this offer, he sneered. Such a price was intended to be introduced to Franck Ribery? I still have to think about it even if I have to pay 50 million pounds!
Of course, if there was a team willing to bid £ 50 million for Franck Ribery, Zhong Cheng would definitely make a move on Franck Ribery.
However, this was clearly unrealistic. Even when Franck Ribery was not injured, there were few players willing to offer £ 50 million for Franck Ribery, let alone Franck Ribery’s current condition.
Zhong Cheng directly wrote back to José Mourinho. If he wanted to bring in Franck Ribery, he could do it for 50 million pounds, not a single cent. Otherwise, there would be no need to talk about it!
In addition to Franck Ribery’s offer, there was also Pick’s offer.
Zhong Cheng’s heart trembled when he saw that someone was bidding for Pick. Zhong Cheng looked carefully. Fortunately, it was not Barcelona. If it was Barcelona, then Zhong Cheng really had nothing to say. Barcelona’s attraction to Pique is fatal, as long as Barcelona want to buy Pique, Pique will not be determined, and will even take the initiative to seek a transfer.
Pique was offered by Arsenal, yes by Arsène Wenge, or perhaps by Thomas Vermaelen, and he has taken a fancy to Pique again. And he counted through Fabregas that Peeker, Fabregas and Peeker were both from the La Marcia Academy, and they were good friends.
Seeing the £ 15 million offer from Arsenal, Zhong Cheng did not want to reject it. Not to mention that Pique was not for sale at Leeds United, it was an insulting price. Take a look at how an infamous Pepe can sell for 30 million euros. Why would Pepe sell for just 15 million pounds? In Zhong Cheng’s heart, Pique is definitely worth more than Rio Ferdinand, at least £ 30 million. Your Arsenal offer is a joke.
Zhong Cheng’s direct reply to Arsène Wenge is £ 50 million and you can take Pick away. Not even a penny less!
It was obvious that Zhong Cheng was disgusting to Arsène Wenge, but at the same time, he also showed that Peeker was not for sale by Leeds United, and no one could buy it!
Zhong Cheng didn’t care what kind of expression Arsène Wenge had when he saw such a reply. This had nothing to do with him. There are also offers for Leeds United’s Luca Tony, Leeds United’s Kompani, Gary Cahill and others, as if they were happy to have Leeds United hollowed out.
Sheffield Wednesday’s team, Cramer, was also trying to dig a corner for Zhong Cheng.
