Chapter 18, Steel Line of Defense

When Asensio signed his name on the contract, Kim Tiger patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "Mark, welcome to Manchester United, you will be the second Scholes."

"Thank you for the coach's appreciation for me. I will definitely grow into your number one person as soon as possible." Asensio said very politely.

"Okay." Jin Taige nodded, "You take a good vacation, see you in July."

Seeing the figure of Asensio turning and leaving, Jin Taige was very emotional. The future Real Madrid superstar has outstanding skills, broad vision, strong ball control, and can often score goals in big scenes. The future generations will be very important to Real Madrid and the Spanish national team. The euro was signed, so lucky.

Asensio successfully transferred, the transfer fee is 1 million, and now Jin Tiger has 42.2 million transfer funds to use.

Buy people, go ahead.

A spirited midfielder is here. Jin Taige was full of joy. He walked out of the club humming a song, and bought a copy of "Spanish Sport" on a whim. Although he didn't understand Spanish, Spanish was also an English language, so he still knew some words.

Woodward chose a five-star hotel, and then a few people took a taxi to the hotel and checked in. Several people rested in the room for a while. In the evening, Woodward went to the next door to call Jin Tiger for dinner. He saw that Jin Tiger was looking out of the window in a daze.

"What's the matter, Tiger, don't you want to leave this Spanish island?" Woodward said with a smile.

Kintag turned around and handed Woodward the newspaper in his hand: "Look at this news."

Woodward took the newspaper in confusion and looked at the football section. The most obvious piece of news that I saw just above the position is: Real Madrid spent 30 million euros to sign Malaga midfielder Isco.

Woodward said in surprise: "Isco? Is he the one you're looking for?"

Jin Taige smiled bitterly: "We're still late."

It turned out that one of the goals of Jintaige's coming to Spain was Isco.

Among these transfer targets that Kintiger has set his sights on, apart from Lewandowski, Isco is now the most famous. The young man trained by Valencia's youth training system moved to his hometown team Malaga in 2011. Surprisingly, in the 2011-2012 season, Isco actually led this small ball miraculously. The team reached the top four in La Liga and rushed into the UEFA Champions League; in the just past 2012-2013 season, Isco led the team to the sixth place in La Liga and reached the Europa League. Such an outstanding performance has attracted the attention of many giant teams.

Jin Taige originally thought that he would be the first to sign Isco, but he did not expect that Real Madrid would be the first to sign Isco.

Seeing Jin Taige's disappointed expression, Woodward comforted him and said: "Although this player is good, his worth of 30 million is also higher. Even if you buy him first, then the people behind your list will have no money to buy it. already."

Jin Taige thought about it, and it was true, and he felt a little better: "Woodward, you'd better arrange a seafood dinner to soothe my wounded heart."

"No problem!" Woodward agreed.

Although the target was snatched away, after this incident, Woodward took a different look at Jin Tiger. He has always been skeptical about the list of young players listed by Jin Taige before, thinking that these people are all small characters who are not in the mainstream. But he didn't expect that the person Jin Tiger was interested in was snatched by the La Liga giant Real Madrid in advance, which made Woodward admire Jin Tiger's vision.

The next day, Kintiger wanted to take a boat southwest to Malaga,

But because Isco was signed by Real Madrid, there is no need for him to go to Malaga. They temporarily changed their route and took the ferry all the way north to Barcelona, ​​Spain's second largest city.

On the way to Barcelona, ​​Woodward excitedly asked Jintaig: "Let's go to Barcelona this time, are you going to sign Messi?"

Hearing Woodward's words, Kim Tiger replied angrily: "As long as you can give me enough transfer fee, I will sign Messi."

Woodward shook his head vigorously: "Forget it. With Messi's current state, 100 million euros is not enough to sign him."

Hearing this, Jin Taige couldn't help feeling very emotional: In later generations, outstanding players were worth hundreds of millions. He still remembered that when Neymar moved to Paris Saint-Germain, his worth reached 220 million euros.

Jin Taige looked at the rippling sea outside the ship, and he smiled slightly: "Although I don't buy Messi, I am going to buy someone who can defend Messi in the future."

After arriving in Barcelona, ​​Kintiger and Woodward rushed to the Espanyol club non-stop to discuss transfer matters directly with the club. This time, they were very quick and agile, and directly signed the player that Jin Tiger looked at by paying the release fee - Eric Bailly.

With a transfer fee of 3 million euros, he got Manchester United's future second defensive core, and Jin Tiger was satisfied.

Alonso, Van Dijk, Bailly, Kimmich, these four people can at least support Manchester United's defense for the next 10 years, and a steel defense is completed.

Bailly successfully transferred, the transfer fee was 3 million, and now Jin Tiger has 39.2 million transfer funds to use.

Because of Isco's lesson, Kintiger didn't dare to delay any longer. He rushed to France directly from Barcelona, ​​because there were 6 players he was ready to sign!

After arriving in France, Kintiger went directly to Boulogne, a city in northern France.

On the way, Kim Tiger chatted with Woodward: "Ed, guess who I value most on this list?"

Woodward didn't think about it: "Of course it's Lewandowski."

"why?"

"Because he is the most valuable."

"Ed!"

"Haha, just kidding," Woodward said with a smile, "Let me guess, you said before that the goalkeeper needs a replacement, Ferdinand and Vidic need replacements, and full-backs also need replacements. . But I don't think those positions are the most urgent, the priority is the midfield position. Am I guessing right?"

Jin Taige nodded: "Yes, Manchester United's biggest problem now is not the back line and forward line, but the midfield. Since Roy Keane retired, Manchester United has not had a strong defensive midfield barrier. Therefore, in the past few seasons, with our strong striker combination and solid rear guard, although it is enough to conquer the Premier League, there is still a gap compared with the powerful teams in other leagues, so I will come to Boulogne this time. , is to make Manchester United's back stand up!"
