Football: Rebirth 04, I Create a Black Shop in Football

Chapter 398

Compared to Chelsea.

Li Shiguang is actually more concerned about the results of the game between Manchester United and Arsenal.

Manchester United's game kicked off 20 minutes earlier than Leeds United's game.

When today's referee Clattenburg blew the whistle to start the game at Elland Road, Rooney had just helped Manchester United take the lead away from home.

And when Adriano finally helped Leeds United take the lead in the 64th minute, Manchester United had already led 3:0, basically locking in the victory!

Fortunately, Leeds United did not make the same mistakes as in the previous game after taking the lead.

In the end.

They kept the score of 1:0 until the end, and comfortably got these three points at home! As long as Arsenal does not beat Portsmouth by more than nine goals tomorrow, then this half-time championship will be won by Leeds United!

And Li Shiguang and Ferguson are indeed the luckier ones.

The next day.

Arsenal, playing away, was stubbornly tied by Portsmouth at Fratton Park and only got one point.

Leeds United successfully won the half-season championship of the Premier League this season.

Manchester United surpassed Arsenal and jumped to the second place in the league standings!

After finishing the game with Newcastle United, they only rested for one day.

Leeds United once again welcomed Aston Villa, who tied with Chelsea 4:4 the day before yesterday, at Elland Road.

This game was also the final battle of Leeds United in 2007.

Before the game, Li Shiguang promised.

If he could win this game.

Then he would give all the players a big red envelope on New Year's Day, which is the Western New Year, according to the custom of celebrating the New Year in his hometown!

Under the motivation of this real money, Leeds United did not repeat Chelsea's mistakes and defeated Aston Villa 3:0 neatly, marking a perfect end for the club in 2007!

Although they got the big red envelope promised by Li Shiguang.

But three games in seven days still made the players of Leeds United feel extremely tired.

Li Shiguang and his two assistants discussed it.

The next round of matches against Liverpool was scheduled by the English Football Association on January 3.

After two days of recovery training, the players were given two days off starting from the 31st, so that they could go home and spend a good New Year with their families.

····

After having a romantic dinner for two with Shakira and spending a wonderful and happy New Year's Eve together, time came to January 2008. With the official opening of the winter transfer window of the 2007-2008 season, the atmosphere of the entire European football world began to become visibly hot.

After having lunch at home, Li Shiguang took Shakira, who had nothing to do, to Thorp Arch for a stroll. First, he gave red envelopes to colleagues in various departments who were still working overtime on New Year's Day. After the stroll, he finally came to Allen's office and gave his loyal subordinate a final red envelope!

Allen took the red envelope from Li Shiguang with a smile and wished Li Shiguang a happy new year using the poor Chinese etiquette he learned online. Then he sat back at his desk and pointed at the computer screen and said, "Boss, did you read the news this morning?"

"What news?"

Li Shiguang was hanging out with Shakira the whole morning and didn't pay attention to any news at all.

Allen smiled, his tone full of ridicule: "Abrahimovic has made a move. After being silent for the whole summer, the rubles in his bag finally couldn't help but jump out."

"Oh? Who did Chelsea buy again?" Li Shiguang also had a smile on his face, and started the mocking mode with ill intentions: "But it's normal. Chelsea has been surpassed by Liverpool. If they don't strengthen, they will probably only play in the Europa League next season! I'm not saying that Avra ​​Grant is a rotten fish and shrimp. Abramovich has the nerve to let him compete with me, Ferguson, Wenger and Benitez..."

Alan laughed secretly behind the computer. Knowing Li Shiguang's character, he didn't go up to flatter him, but read the news on the computer screen: "They announced three signings in one go. They dug Alanka from Bolton for 19.8 million euros, introduced a defender named Branislav Ivanovic from Lokomotiv Moscow for 14.6 million euros, and finally spent 5 million euros to buy a 19-year-old young player named Di Santo from Argentina."

Ivanovic?

Damn, how could I forget him! ?

This guy is a versatile defender, he can play both center back and right back!

In Li Shiguang's impression, Ivanovic is a defender with a sturdy build, accurate positioning, solid defense, and good goal-scoring ability!

Attention!

It's the goal-scoring ability, not the offensive ability! This SerbianThe Asian defender can head the ball, shoot from a distance, and even has the ability to grab points in the penalty area like a center forward!

And when playing on the wing, Ivanovic can cross the entire field in seconds!

If Toure and Pogba are the representatives of all-around midfielders in recent years, then in Li Shiguang's view, Lahm and Ivanovic are the representatives of all-around defenders!

So when he heard Allen say this name, Li Shiguang slapped his thigh suddenly, and even Shakira, who was sitting next to him playing with her phone, was startled.

Allen also heard the noise and quickly stuck his head out from behind the computer. "What's wrong, boss?"

"Damn, what a pity!" Li Shiguang shook his head, a mask of pain instantly appeared on his face, and his tone was full of regret. "I forgot about the player Ivanovic, otherwise how could I wait for Chelsea to pick up this bargain! It's less than 15 million euros, what's the difference between this and giving it away!?"

Although he couldn't see Li Shiguang's facial expression with his back to him, Allen could hear Li Shiguang's unwillingness from his tone.

This rarely happens!

You know, Li Shiguang has always been at the forefront in buying and selling players. I only heard that he cut off others, and almost no one could snatch the players he liked!

So Allen asked tentatively: "Boss, is it Ron's problem? If so, I will warn him!"

"It's none of their business." After calming down, Li Shiguang shook his head slowly, "I forgot it myself, but you have to remind Ron when you have time. I remember that Ivanovich played very well in Moscow Lokomotiv. The scout report of such a player was not sent to my desk. I should be criticized!"

"Well, I will tell him."

Although he was talking to Allen, Li Shiguang's mind was searching for various news about Ivanovich in his previous life. He still didn't want to give up this excellent defender.

After a while.

Li Shiguang suddenly put his thoughts on Chelsea's head coach, Grant.

If I remember correctly.

In fact, Ivanovich's start at Chelsea was not smooth.

Grant used his physical condition to meet the requirements of the game as an excuse, and even used Essien as a guest right back, and was unwilling to let Ivanovich play. It seems that it was not until the second half of this year that Ivanovich won the first chance to play in the Premier League.

From joining to playing.

There is such a long time in between.

This may be good news for Li Shiguang!
