Episode [033]: Leeds United's New Standard King

Zhong Cheng is more honest, he didn't cheat De La Valle!

12 million euros, still let De La Valle earn 2 million euros.

For Zhong Cheng, 12 million is really not expensive. To be able to introduce Luca Toni, this price is indeed relatively cheap. After all, Toni scored 31 goals in the Serie A last season, which can be called abnormal.

After the introduction of Luca Toni, Zhong Cheng did not stop.

Now Zhong Cheng has his eyes on Joaquin, the winger of Real Betis. If Joaquin is brought to Leeds United, then Leeds United will really fly with both wings.

However, Joaquin is not cheap!

Now Joaquin is really a famous player all over the world, and there are many clubs that value Joaquin, indeed many. Only the Premier League has Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, and there is Leeds United. That goes without saying the teams from La Liga Bundesliga and Serie A.

Of course, this summer's Serie A is a bit special.

At this time, Ibrahimovic, the main striker of Juventus in Serie A, has already moved to Inter Milan, because Juventus has definitely been relegated, and the stars in their team chose to leave Juventus one after another. Went to a new club.

At this time, what Manchester United wanted was Juventus goalkeeper Buffon.

Now there are many clubs wanting to take Buffon away, but Zhong Cheng didn't join them because he knew Buffon's loyalty. He didn't choose to leave, but went to Serie B with Juventus , which disappointed a lot of people.

Zhong Cheng wanted Joaquin very much, and he made an offer to Real Betis.

For the first time, Zhong Cheng offered Joaquin 18 million euros. Obviously, Real Betis rejected Leeds United's offer, because the price was really too low, and they couldn't see any sincerity.

For the second time, Zhong Cheng directly quoted 20 million euros to Real Betis. This time, Real Betis did not reject Zhong Cheng, but only disclosed the news to Zhong Cheng that Valencia plans to use 22 million euros to introduce Joaquin.

Zhong Cheng knew that Valencia cared very much about Joaquin, and they were bound to win.

Therefore, at this time, Zhong Cheng knew what Real Betis was thinking, and he just wanted to use Zhong Cheng and Leeds United to raise the price.

Zhong Cheng remembers that Valencia should have introduced Joaquin at a price of 24 million euros. Therefore, Zhong Cheng's third offer to Real Betis is 24 million euros. Zhong Cheng wants to see if Valencia will give more money to introduce Joaquin.

Joaquin is really a very good player, but 24 million euros is already considered the top price, and any higher price would be inappropriate.

At this time, after learning of Leeds United's offer, Valencia hesitated a bit.

Yes, 24 million is a very high price. If it is higher, then it is unnecessary, and if you want to introduce other players. But they were a little hesitant. They wanted Joaquin and Vicente to form a two-wing lineup.

Vicente of the Valencia team is also fast, comparable to a 100-meter trapeze. The intention of Valencia to introduce Joaquin is obvious, that is to speed up and increase Valencia's speed to the extreme.

After careful consideration by the Valencia club, they made an offer again, and Valencia's offer was 24.5 million euros. Yes, they only added 500,000, because they also think that 24 million euros is the psychological price of Leeds United. If it exceeds this price, Leeds United should give up Joaquin.

However, it is clear that the Valencians have lowered Zhong Cheng's interest and love for Joaquin.

Zhong Cheng could see that Valencia only added 500,000 euros to show the bottom line of Valencia. It was impossible for them to add more, so Zhong Cheng made a direct move and made an offer to Golden Love Betis for the fourth time, quoting 25 million euros.

Yes, Zhong Cheng only added 500,000 euros!

However, the 500,000 euros became the last straw that crushed Valencia!

The Valencians gave up, gave up on Joaquin, and gave up on the magic wing combination of Joaquin and Vicente. Valencia's coaching staff hated Zhong Cheng to death. It was they who destroyed their vision. Angry, his face was very ugly.

However, Zhong Cheng himself was very happy.

He guessed right, 2,450 euros is the bottom line of the Valencia team, and Valencia can never get higher. At the same time, Zhong Cheng also heaved a sigh of relief, now there is no need to spend any more money in the world.

25 million euros, this is also the largest sum of money Zhong Cheng has spent in the transfer market.

This is also Zhong Cheng's first transfer of more than 20 million euros in the transfer market after accepting Leeds United.

Joaquin and his agent initially signed the deal with Rodgers in Spain. As long as there is no problem with Joaquin's physical examination, Joaquin will be a member of Leeds United.

━━━Separation line━━━

Zhong Cheng left England and flew to Germany.

Zhong Cheng went to watch the final of this World Cup, the match between Italy and France.

This game was held at the Berlin Olympic Stadium, and more than 70,000 fans poured in that day, including Zhong Cheng. Following Zhong Cheng were Christina and Julia Oliveira, while Isabella George had already flown back to China. Now the movie of [Zhong Cheng Films] is about to be released, and there are still many things waiting for Isabella George to go back to deal with, so she naturally went back.

This game is the 33rd meeting between the two sides in history. In the previous 32 encounters between the two teams, Italy had 17 wins, 8 draws and 7 losses, scoring 75 goals and conceding 44 goals. Italy has the advantage.

In this game, the starters of both sides are the same as in the semi-finals!

Ribery still appeared in the game, and now Ribery is very powerful. Of course, Zhong Cheng also saw Luca Toni, who is about to transfer to Leeds United, in this game. He is the main center of the Italian national team.

In this game, both sides performed very well, especially Zidane.

Many people hope to see Zidane use a World Cup champion to draw a perfect end to his football career. In the game, Zidane performed very well, he was very active, he was also very active in running in the game, and created many opportunities.

Even in extra time, he even had a header from close range in the penalty area, the ball was very fast, but it was saved by the Italian goalkeeper Buffon, which was the French team's final match. Chance.

After that, the turning point of the game appeared. Materazzi angered Zidane with words. Zidane slammed his head on Materazzi's chest and knocked Materazzi to the ground.

The referee directly showed a red card and sent Zidane off the field.

The scene of Zidane and the Hercules Cup passing by has become an eternal sad memory in the minds of countless people.

The 120-minute civil war between the two sides became a zero-to-zero tie. In the penalty shootout, the Italian national team defeated the French team 6-5, and Ribery fell in the final.

The Italian national team won the World Cup.

After the game, what everyone discussed the most was not the Italian team's championship. Rather, what happened to Materazzi and Zidane during the game?

Zidane's sending off became a turning point in this game.

Everyone wants to know the story inside. At that time, both parties involved were silent about this matter, and they were unwilling to play it again. This has become an unsolved mystery!

The 2006 World Cup ended amid endless topics, and the Italian team, which was in a state of turmoil, won the World Cup championship, which was beyond the expectations of many people.

However, everyone still sent the most sincere wishes to the Italians.

As the final curtain falls, the major awards of the World Cup will also be announced. The winner of this World Cup is the Italian team, the runner-up French team, the third runner-up German team, and the third runner-up Portugal team.

The fair play award of this World Cup belongs to Brazil and Spain. The two teams are the team with the fewest red and yellow cards and the team with the least number of fouls. The two teams jointly won this award.

The award for the most entertaining team in this World Cup selected by the organizing committee was awarded to Portugal, the third runner-up of this World Cup. Sure enough, their attack was the most passionate, with Cristiano Ronaldo doing well and Figo doing well in his last World Cup. But full of regrets, he still failed to win the World Cup championship award, which is his lifetime regret.

Next is the individual awards that everyone is very concerned about. The biggest individual award is the best player in the World Cup, which is the World Cup Golden Globe Award.

This time the World Cup Golden Globe was not awarded to the players of the World Cup champion team. The organizing committee gave the Golden Globe to Zidane of the French team. Perhaps it is because, after the end of this World Cup, Zidane will retire. However, Zidane's performance in this World Cup is really outstanding. Everyone thinks that he can play for at least two or three more years. It is really a pity for the fans to retire so early.

The silver ball award of this World Cup belongs to the members of the World Cup champion team. This award was awarded to the captain of the World Cup, the central defender Cannavaro. This is really beyond the expectations of many people. It is really amazing that a central defender has won this award. This should be the first central defender to win this award. Cannavaro is amazing.

The bronze ball winner of this World Cup is also from the World Cup champion, he is the midfielder Pirlo. Pirlo's performance is really outstanding, he is the brain of the Italian team, without him there would be no Italian World Cup champion.

The next most important individual award is the award on the scorer list, the Golden Boot Award!

It is no surprise that the third-placed German forward Klose scored the most goals in this World Cup. Klose performed perfectly and was called the best striker in the World Cup. There are so many winners of the Silver Boot Award, because there are really too many people who rank second in the scorer list, there are as many as eight, and the representative figures are Luca Toni, Crespo, Ronaldo and so on.

Because so many people have won the Silver Boot, there will be no Bronze Boot winners in this World Cup.

The next more important personal award is the best goalkeeper. This award is without any surprises, that is, goalkeeper Buffon of the World Cup champion team Italy. Buffon is the goalkeeper with the fewest goals conceded in this World Cup. The goalkeeper who contributed the most saves, his comprehensive performance is very perfect,

The best rookie award in this World Cup was awarded to Ribery, a wide player of the French national team. Ribery performed very well in this World Cup, scoring two goals and sending three assists , very perfect,

And the last award, which is the best goal of this World Cup. This was the result of a popular vote, and the final recipient of the award was Maxi Rodriguez, who scored a goal against Mexico in the round of 16. Feixian ran the goal.

With the end of the awards ceremony, the 2006 World Cup in Germany came to an end.
