Episode【298】: Leeds United’s Legendary Striker

So far, Zhong Cheng has introduced a total of three players, spending a total of less than 15 million euros.

In other words, Zhong Cheng still earns a net profit of 180 million euros.

Of course, there are tax deductions and so on!

However, these ordinary fans and media are not paying attention. What they are paying attention to is the scary figure of 180 million euros. If you add in the bonus money Leeds United won from the Champions League last season, as well as the Premier League bonuses and TV broadcast sharing, etc., then Leeds United can be said to be the most profitable club this year.

Leeds United are so rich!

But even such a wealthy club can be so stingy!

Everyone originally thought that Leeds United was going to fight Real Madrid to get rid of Kaká, and add Zlatan Ibrahimovic to create a super luxurious Leeds United and create the strongest Los Blancos team in history.

Who knew that Zhong Cheng had no offer for Ibrahimovic at all, and he had no intention of competing with Real Madrid for Kaká!

Everyone imagines, where did Zhong Cheng take the money when he fell to the ground?

Of course, these are things that media reporters and fans see. What other clubs see is Leeds United's youth training. Leeds United's youth training is so good, no wonder they make money.

After selling these cultivated stars, they still have a lot of reserves to step up!

Now that Luka Modric and Yaya Toure have left, don't they still have Toni Kroos and Mesut Ozil, a loan player recruited from Leyton Orient?

Yes, Zhong Cheng's vision is so scary. He almost doesn't need to bring in any players, and they won't be short of any players.

Of course, everyone is now speculating whether Zhong Cheng will make any big moves this summer?

If Leeds United do want to bring in players, who will be next?

Will there be a signing that will shock the world?

Zhong Cheng doesn't pay attention to this now, because Zhong Cheng is now leading Leeds United to fly to South Africa for training in Africa.

Leeds United will play four games in Africa. First of all, they will attract their first opponent here, which is Ajax Cape Town. This is a satellite club of Ajax in Cape Town, South Africa. Every year, Ajax Jax will invest a certain amount of money in this club, and if there are any outstanding players here, they will be sent to Ajax.

Or many talented players will face selection by the Ajax club, and those who pass the selection will go to the Ajax youth training camp for further study, etc.

Anyway, the two clubs have many aspects of work exchanges.

Leeds United's second opponent here is the Ajax club from the Eredivisie. This can be regarded as a warm-up event held by the Ajax club.

The third opponent is the Internacional team from Brazil.

Yes, that’s Alexander Pato’s former club!

This club was also invited by the Ajax club and local tournament organizers in South Africa to play a few warm-up matches here.

Leeds United's fourth opponent is Stuttgart from the Bundesliga!

This was beyond Zhong Cheng's expectation, because Zhong Cheng had just introduced their backcourt player Khedira from Stuttgart, and they were playing against each other. It was really fate.

At this time, Zhong Cheng was actually still uneasy, certainly not because of the competition. But because of the team's contract renewal issue, some players' agents are really aggressive and want to increase their weekly salary by 150%-200%, and some even increase the price by more than 200%.

Now the team is arguing with the agents of these players!

Of course, Zhong Cheng reminded the players not to be distracted by this matter and not to pay attention to it. Players just need to play well and be ready for the new season. Let the teams and their agents discuss other matters!

Before leaving, Zhong Cheng took another look at Alexander Pato.

To be honest, Alexander Pato is really good at carrying it. He has just returned from a serious injury. However, he was injured again after only playing two games for the Brazilian national team. The situation was quite serious and he was unable to play football for several months. He would not be able to recover from his injury until September at the earliest.

Alexander Pato played a warm-up match for the Brazilian national team. In the first game of the Confederations Cup, he came on as a substitute. He did not play for long before he was injured.

Alexander Pato really has too much back this year.

Moreover, Alexander Pato will turn 20 on September 2 this year. I wonder if he can recover from injury before his birthday!

Zhong Cheng came to Alexander Pato's home, and Alexander Pato is currently recuperating at home. Of course it's his home in Leeds, but he's about to fly back to Brazil.

Now at home are the caregivers and doctors hired by Leeds United for Alexander Pato. They usually keep an eye on Alexander Pato here. Now Alexander Pato can no longer have any problems, otherwise he will It's really going to be reimbursed.

Zhong Cheng met Alexander Pato. Fortunately, this guy was in good spirits and not depressed.

Seeing this, Zhong Cheng felt a lot more relieved.

What Zhong Cheng is now afraid of is that Alexander Pato will become depressed and that he will be knocked down by injuries!

However, Alexander Pato's current situation is not bad, so Zhong Cheng is relieved.

Zhong Cheng asked: "How do you feel? Can you go to the ground?"

Alexander Pato shook his head slightly and said: "I don't feel it. I think I have to rest for two or three months. You tell me, I have too much back. I just came back and was injured. Oh my god, it doesn't seem to be me this year." It’s your birth year!”

Seeing the confused look on Alexander Pato's face, Zhong Cheng almost burst out laughing!

Zhong Cheng chuckled and said, "Do you also have the term "birth year" in Brazil?

Alexander Pato immediately shook his head and said: "No! We in Brazil don't have such weird things. Hey, but don't tell me, your Eastern mysterious calendar is really accurate!"

Zhong Cheng looked dumbfounded. When did this guy engage in these feudal superstitions?

Zhong Cheng asked: "Since you don't have it in Brazil, who told you this? Don't tell me you read it on the Internet!"

Alexander Pato immediately waved his hand and said: "Don't you know me yet? When I go online, I usually watch Japanese family action movies. How can I have the leisure to study your ancient and mysterious culture in the East! I feel a headache after just one look! "

Zhong Cheng chuckled and said, "You are honest. Oh no, you haven't told me who told you this!"

Alexander Pato said: "Who else could it be? Isn't it the talented top scorer of our club's U14 team?"

Hearing this, Zhong Cheng suddenly understood, smiled slightly, and understood.

It turns out to be this little guy Zhong Yan!

Yes, Zhong Yan is now the top scorer of Leeds United's U14 team, and the top scorer of the U14 league in the Northern Region of England. He is simply a perverted shooter. He has scored 51 goals in a season and is favored by countless scouts. He claims The next generation striker king for Leeds United.

However, Zhong Cheng really doesn't know how this little guy Zhong Yan has such a good relationship with Alexander Pato? You actually came to play with Alexander Pato when you had nothing to do?

Zhong Cheng immediately asked: "Why does he come to play with you so often?"

Alexander Pato immediately curled his lips and said: "Bah, you are not here to play with me, that is to show your courtesy!"

Zhong Cheng was stunned for a moment and didn't understand. He asked, "Why does Lister want to be so courteous to you? What reason did you have to catch him?"

Alexander Pato immediately shook his head, but he did not speak. Instead, he turned his head and stared at Zhong Cheng, wondering: "Don't you know, boss?"

Zhong Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then said blankly: "What do I know?"

Alexander Pato said: "Then you don't care too much about your genius brother!"

One hit!

Zhong Cheng was in a daze!

Alexander Pato talked a lot, but Zhong Cheng really cared little about his younger brother. Because there are usually too many things to be busy with. Even when they occasionally have free time to spend time with Zhong Yan and others, they mostly fight and make trouble, dominated by the little witch Zhong Yao.

Zhong Cheng really didn't have a good chat with Zhong Yan. Zhong Cheng really didn't understand Zhong Yan.

Although you can usually see some of Zhong Yan’s confidence from the Leeds United Club’s youth training camp report, this information is all digitized. Zhong Cheng really cannot fully understand Zhong Yan, and he has no idea of ​​Zhong Yan’s thoughts at all. , I don’t know what Zhong Yan will be thinking about now?

Suddenly, Zhong Cheng felt that he should find time to have a good chat with Zhong Yan.

To be honest, as a player who wants to pursue a professional career, Zhong Yan is not too young anymore. It only takes two years for him to embark on the path of professional football.

In two or three years, Zhong Yan will be 16 years old. Many young players in Leeds United Club have already entered the Leeds United first team and played for the Leeds United first team at the age of 16. There are even players who are playing for the Leeds United first team before they are 16 years old.

Therefore, Zhong Yan is considered too young now.

These two or three years are very critical for Zhong Yan. As Zhong Yan’s eldest brother and a professional in the football field, it is necessary for Zhong Cheng to have a good talk with Zhong Yan, help him properly, and give him more Professional advice so that he can have a greater chance of engaging in professional football.

Zhong Cheng looked up and stared at Alexander Pato, his face full of questions.

When Alexander Pato saw that Zhong Cheng really didn't know anything, he immediately said: "You are a football madman. This guy is about to crush the doorsteps of all the forward players of our Leeds United team. Every day. He keeps pestering us, asking us to give him all our secret skills. If you don't teach him, he will pester you until you teach him..."

Hearing this, Zhong Cheng was stunned!

Zhong Cheng really didn't expect that his little brother would be such a football fanatic. It seems that he is full of enthusiasm for football. He likes football from the bottom of his heart and wants to become a very professional player, even a very good player. A great professional player.

Zhong Cheng nodded slightly, feeling extremely proud.

Alexander Pato shook his head and sighed: "You are indeed a family, you are all so crazy! If you don't succeed, then the world will be unjust. I believe that Riester will become the legendary shooter of Leeds United!"

Alexander Pato is not flattering Zhong Cheng, but speaking out of emotion!

Zhong Cheng chuckled slightly and said: "This kid is a little smart, but he really wants to become a professional player. This guy still has a long way to go. What the future will bring, we really can't say, just Let’s see if this little guy can continue to be so enthusiastic!”

Zhong Cheng paused when he said this. He had one more sentence to finish, and he didn't say it out loud. He just said silently in his heart: "If he continues to be enthusiastic, he will definitely become the legendary shooter of Leeds United!"
