Episode [024]: Another Central Defender Is Dealt With

Brussels, Belgium.

The sky was so dark that it seemed to be covered with a layer of black gauze, and the bean-like raindrops rushed down and hit the ground saved by Qingshi Road, splashing everywhere.

Tick ​​tock tick tock!

When I first came to Brussels, it was raining, and it was quite heavy.

The whole world seems to have been washed away, and it looks extraordinarily fresh, and the air is filled with the factor of heart-cooling and heart-flying, which makes people feel refreshed.

Well, Zhong Cheng likes rainy days, at this moment he likes rainy days.

He sat in a corner of the coffee shop, looking out through the transparent glass, what he saw was not raindrops, but the melancholy of the literary youth slowly.

Well, Zhong Cheng is pretending!

However, he is bored, waiting here to return home!

In fact, it's not a returning person, but a predestined person he intends to meet!

Hey, it's not a predestined person, but someone Zhong Cheng values, a player, a Belgian player!

Zhong Cheng had already contacted him when he left Germany, and we will meet here today!

The player that Zhong Cheng valued is a Belgian player. He is now playing for the Belgian giant Anderlecht. Now he has attracted the attention of many wealthy clubs. This is a player with both strength and potential.

Zhong Cheng's meeting with this young player here today is not a private contact, because Zhong Cheng has already contacted the Anderlecht club, and Anderlecht's head coach Wellcott Wolf has agreed to Zhong Cheng's private contact with this young player. players.

In order to meet this player, Zhong Cheng offered Anderlecht 5 million euros.

Then, Zhong Cheng got a phone call from the player's agent from Wellcott Wolf. This agent used to be a Belgian international and a celebrity. Now he has become an agent. There are many Belgians under his banner. international.

Zhong Cheng couldn't help but looked up at the watch on his wrist, there was still half an hour before the appointment time. Zhong Cheng turned his head again and looked outside, the rain was still falling outside.

Julia Oliveira immediately said: "Boss, there is tea here, you can drink some, the weather is a little cold!"

Perhaps because of the rain, today is a little bit cold.

There is still a cup of coffee in front of Zhong Cheng as before. Of course, this coffee is not for drinking. Zhong Cheng is just such a quirk and cannot be changed.

Zhong Cheng quietly put down the spoon in his hand, and took the strong tea from Julia Oliveira with both hands. Zhong Cheng took a sip as soon as he raised his head, his whole body became hot in an instant, driving away the chill.

At this moment, the door of the coffee shop was pushed open, and two tall men walked in. One of them was a middle-aged man with short hair and a black suit. He was dressed very quietly and elegantly, but his figure and face were indeed a bit rough, and he couldn't tell that he was gentle at all.

The other man was much younger, with an immature face. And he is taller than the man next to him, with a bald head, a young bald head.

Seeing these two people come in, Zhong Cheng knew that the person he was waiting for had arrived.

Zhong Cheng got up immediately, and Zhong Cheng was also very tall. As soon as he stood up, he stood out from the crowd and was spotted immediately. The two men who walked in saw Zhong Cheng, nodded slightly to Zhong Cheng, then walked over quickly, and came to Zhong Cheng's side.

The middle-aged man came first, came directly to Zhong Cheng's side, and stretched out his right hand towards Zhong Cheng.

The middle-aged man said: "Mr. Loya, hello! It's a pleasure to see you in Belgium!"

Zhong Cheng stretched out his right hand, held the right hand of the middle-aged man, and said directly: "Hello, Mr. Jager, I am also very happy to meet you!"

Yes, the middle-aged man in front of him is Jager, former Belgian international Jager Lichtenstein.

Then the young bald man behind Lichtenstein also extended his right hand to Zhong Cheng, and greeted him, "Mr. Loya, hello!"

Zhong Cheng looked at the bald man in front of him with a smile, stretched out his right hand, and said, "Hello, Mr. Kompany, it's a pleasure to meet you here!"

Yes, the person Zhong Cheng asked to meet was the Belgian international Kompany, Vincent Kompany!

Kompany has just turned 20 years old this year, but he is already the main central defender of the Belgian giants Anderlecht. When he was 17 years old, he represented Anderlecht in the UEFA Champions League. At the age of 18, he was the main central defender of the Belgian national team, and in 2004, he had already won the Belgian Footballer of the Year. At that time, he attracted the attention of countless European football giants.

This young central defender has a height of 190cm and a weight of 82kg, but his movement speed is not slow, and he can also play a defensive midfielder, which is very comprehensive.

Zhong Cheng has his eyes on this guy, and Zhong Cheng also knows that Kompany left Anderlecht to join the Hamburg team this summer. Now Zhong Cheng wants to grab Kompany before Hamburg.

It can be seen that Kompany is more interested in Leeds United.

After all, Leeds United was the champion of the Premier League and the UEFA Cup last season. What's more, Leeds United's lineup is full of young players. They are the famous Young Guards. He went to Leeds United After that, there will be no headaches for playing opportunities.

Leeds United is not like those rich clubs, those young talents have to wait for opportunities on the bench even if they are capable. Many talented players have been worn out on the bench and lost their former glory.

Now what Kompany wants is the opportunity to play, and what he wants is the opportunity to play at a high level.

Now, it is impossible for Kompany to improve while staying in Belgium, which is the reason why he transferred and left. He wants to see a wider stage, to get in touch with more powerful football, to improve his vision and strength.

Kompany naturally knows that many wealthy clubs are interested in him, but he is also very clear that going to these wealthy clubs will only serve as a backup for some people. In the wealthy clubs, he can only wait for the future, not the present.

Kompany is smart and he knows the high level of play he needs now to train himself. Therefore, the first choice is not a wealthy club, but a club that can play games.

Therefore, Kompany's current goal is the second and third tier teams in the five major European leagues.

And Leeds United is definitely the top strength among the second-tier teams in Europe, and their influence is extremely huge. What's more, this team is young and he has plenty of opportunities to compete.

Therefore, for Kompany, Leeds United is the best choice.

When he received Zhong Cheng's call, Kompany was very excited, this is really pie in the sky!

Kompany's agent, Jage Lichtenstein, also agrees with Kompany's opinion very much. He is very supportive of Kompany's transfer to Leeds United, so they are so eager to see Zhong Cheng. Today, they met here.

Kompany and the two came here nearly half an hour earlier, which shows their urgency.

However, when the two came here, they saw Zhong Cheng, the chairman and head coach of Leeds United. Zhong Cheng came here before them. Both of them were a little excited. Desperately want to see them.

After greeting Zhong Cheng, both parties sat down.

The two sides went directly to the topic, yes, without any warm-up, directly to the topic. Jager Lichtenstein asked: "Mr. Loya, if Vincent really returns to your club, what is his role?"

Zhong Cheng also made no secrets, saying directly: "If Vincent joins our Leeds United team, as long as there is no problem with his condition, he will be our club's starting central defender."

By saying this, Zhong Cheng is not fooling Kompany and Lichtenstein, this is the truth.

For one thing, Leeds United's main central defender, Dinghaishenzhen Pique on the defense line, has not recovered from his injury, and it will take at least more than a month before he can resume training. As for the state after recovery, it is hard to say. Zhong Cheng is looking for a The main central defender will temporarily replace Pique.

Secondly, Leeds United conceded a lot of goals last season, mainly because of problems in the defense line. Pique's injury is on the one hand, and Vermaelen's problem on the other. Vermaelen is an excellent central defender, but he still looks very young and immature and frizzy, and there are often some problems in defense.

In the new season, Leeds United will definitely encounter resistance from more clubs, and they will definitely be crazily studied by their opponents. Zhong Cheng must improve the strength of Leeds United. Then Vermaelen is a very important part, so even if Pique finds his form after recovering from injury, Kompany can replace Vermaelen.

Looking at the expressions of the two people on the opposite side, Zhong Cheng said with a slight smile: "And next season we will have a lot of games for Leeds United, including the league, the League Cup, the FA Cup and the UEFA Champions League. With so many games, you guys Are you still afraid that Vincent will not play?"

Both Kompany nodded. English football is known for its many games. There are so many games in England that there is no winter break, and it is a very busy league.

But this is a good thing for young players, so that they can get more games and exercise.

Kompany nodded, and they agreed with Zhong Cheng's statement.

This problem is what Kompany is most concerned about. In fact, after this problem is solved, there will basically be no major problems in the future.

Then Zhong Cheng was Kompany's agent Jager Lichtenstein and began to discuss Kompany's contract. Zhong Cheng hopes that Kompany can sign a five-year contract, but Kompany and his agent are reluctant because the five-year contract is really too long.

The most important thing is that they are not particularly confident in Leeds United. He is afraid that five years is too long, and he will have to play in the English Championship in the future, which they are not willing to accept.

Kompany and Jager Lichtenstein mean that it is best to sign for three years.

For this, Kompany and Lichtenstein are willing to give up part of their annual salary. It can be seen that they have a very clear purpose. The two must have discussed it for a long time before coming here.

Zhong Cheng thought about it carefully, and then he thought it was okay.

However, Zhong Cheng still made one point, that is, after the end of the three-year contract, Leeds United must have the priority to renew the contract. Yes, Zhong Cheng didn't want Kompany to leave so easily. He was very optimistic about Kompany's future.

Kompany and Jager Lichtenstein had a brief discussion and decided it would work.

Then, Zhong Cheng discussed some details with Kompany and Jager Lichtenstein, and then the two parties initialed the agreement, and Kompany was taken by Zhong Cheng.

As long as Kompany can pass the medical examination, then Kompany is a member of Leeds United.

Of course, there should be no problems with Kompany's physical examination. Kompany now belongs to their Leeds United team. With Kompany, Leeds United's defense is awesome, and it will be a combination of Pique and Kompany in the future.

After finishing Kompany, Zhong Cheng flew back to England directly.
