Episode [156]: Finally Got a Deal!

Now the day when the winter transfer gate is closed is getting closer, and Leeds United are still working hard to introduce Bresciano.

Tim Collins came back and came directly to Zhong Cheng's office.

Sitting at the desk, Zhong Cheng stirred the steaming coffee in front of him as usual, and asked, "How is the situation?"

Tim Collins said with a serious face: "Boss, it is very difficult to buy out Bresciano directly. Palermo seems to have a lot of expectations for Bresciano. They are going to give Bresciano more time! "

Zhong Cheng frowned and said, "So, Palermo doesn't want to sell Bresciano?"

If Bresciano can't take it down, then the current situation will be bad. Zhong Cheng had to find another replacement in such a short period of time. But now time waits for no one, Zhong Cheng really doesn't know if he can find it.

Tim Collins immediately said: "Boss, but the players hope to come to Leeds United for a try. He almost joined Leeds United at the beginning, and now Leeds United is so popular, and there is also the Champions League. Bresciano is very good." Hope to join Leeds United!"

Zhong Cheng nodded slowly, and said, "If this is the case, then we still have a chance. You asked Bresciano how much is the liquidated damages?"

Tim Collins said directly: "Boss, Bresciano told me personally that the liquidated damages are 20 million euros!"

Zhong Cheng raised his brows, the liquidated damages are very high.

If it is 20 million euros to introduce Bresciano, Zhong Cheng has to consider it.

Bresciano is definitely not worth so much money. More importantly, he transferred to Palermo Fire this season. Bresciano has not played a few games at all. It stands to reason that his worth will only drop. Ten thousand euros are not enough.

Naturally, Zhong Cheng will not be taken advantage of by this. After all, many powerful players are now worth less than 20 million euros.

You can see that the French giants Paris Saint-Germain made an offer to Juventus not long ago. They wanted to introduce Trezeguet, and their offer was only 12 million euros.

Of course, this is mainly because Juventus is now in Serie B, and it is also because the players' minds are floating, and many people want to take advantage of the fire.

But this has already explained the problem. The introduction of Bresciano for 20 million euros is absolutely impossible.

Zhong Cheng shook his head and said, "The liquidated damages are too high, we can't be winners!"

Tim Collins also nodded. He also felt that the price was too high, so after Haas came back, their emotions were not high. The task entrusted to him by the boss has not been completed, and his mood is very low.

Zhong Cheng sent Tim Collins away. It seems that he has to find a replacement. If it doesn’t work, he will get the 16-year-old Hazard. With Hazard and Moussa Dembele, he should It can still withstand it, and there is still Gareth Bale, so there should be no problem.

In this case, Zhong Cheng had no choice but to give up Bresciano.

In the fourth round of the FA Cup, Leeds United challenged Watford in the English Championship at their home court. Leeds United and Watford still have a relationship. Zhong Cheng loaned Shadley to Watford Team, this game seems to have Shadley appearing in the starting lineup of the game.

Zhong Cheng let the main players of Leeds United rest for this game, and sent a starting list of half main players and half substitutes.

From the beginning of the game, Leeds United took the initiative and scored easily.

Leeds United scored a goal in each half and beat Walford 2-0. It can be seen that the Watford team does not attach much importance to this game. They have given up on this game. They are now focusing more on the league and want to impact the Premier League next season league.

Therefore, this round of the game, Leeds United played relatively easily and won the game directly.

This game did not consume a lot of energy for Leeds United, which reassured Zhong Cheng a lot. But Rogers and Di Matteo are very worried, because they are also preparing to give up this game, reducing the Leeds United's battlefield.

Unexpectedly, under such circumstances, they all won the game. Then Leeds United will be tied down by the FA Cup again, which will consume some energy.

More than half a month later, the fifth round of the FA Cup will be held. Leeds United's opponent is Ipswich Town, and the strength of this team is not very strong.

It is precisely because of this that Rogers and others are worried.

The opponent is too weak. If Leeds United wins again, should they give up when Leeds United falls to the ground? According to Zhong Cheng's personality, he probably won't give up.

Worried, very worried.

But now, Leeds United don't have that much thought to consider this matter. Their minds are now on the game against Arsenal.

This is the second leg of the semi-final of the English League Cup, and Leeds United challenged Arsenal away.

In the first round between the two sides, Leeds United lost the game 1-4. This time they want to reverse the Arsenal team, which is very, very difficult, even impossible.

At this time, the outside media all believed that Leeds United had been eliminated, and they simply had no way to reverse Arsenal.

Yes, the score difference of one to four is really too big, and Arsenal still scored four away goals. In other words, in this game, Leeds United's 3-0 score was not able to defeat Arsenal and advance to the final.

If Leeds United wants to eliminate Arsenal, they must beat Arsenal by a score of more than four to zero. Of course, four to one is also possible, and the two sides will enter overtime, or even a point war.

However, it is clear that no one thinks that Leeds United will have any chance.

Leeds United are now screwed, utterly screwed.

There are also disagreements within the Leeds United team regarding this game. Some people think that with the score, Leeds United should just give up and just concentrate on playing well in the league and the UEFA Champions League. There is no need for this match It took too much energy to fight against Arsenal in the game.

They believe that the current Leeds United simply don't have that much energy to cope with so many games, and it is very necessary to selectively give up.

Of course, many people also feel that they are very unwilling to give up just like that, because the next round of the game is the final of the League Cup, and they are so close to the championship, how can Leeds United give up?

Although we are now one to four behind, but our Leeds United may not have the chance for you to reverse it?

Yes, there are big divisions within Leeds United. However, there is no civil strife, because only Zhong Cheng has the right to make decisions within Leeds United. As long as Zhong Cheng makes a decision, everyone has to follow his decision.

To be honest, Zhong Cheng is not willing to give up.

What happened to one to four?

Liverpool can perform the miracle of Istanbul on the stage of the UEFA Champions League, why can't our Leeds United perform the miracle of London's Emirates Stadium?

Zhong Cheng will not give up, this game is to fight against Arsenal.

However, Zhong Cheng still had a lot of questions to think about. If there is a deadlock with Arsenal, what about the league match between Leeds United and Liverpool three days later?

The league is the most important thing for Leeds United. Liverpool's ability to beat the league's No. 1 Manchester United shows that their strength is very strong. Just after Leeds United had a stalemate with Arsenal, they went to face the Liverpool team who were waiting for work. Isn't this courting death?

This is also an important reason for those who propose to abandon the game.

At this time, Zhong Cheng has to seriously consider whether he should pay more attention to the league or the League Cup. This is difficult for Zhong Cheng. These are all caused by injuries. If there were no injuries of those players, Zhong Cheng would not have considered these issues at all, and directly fought Arsenal and Liverpool to the end!

Now I really have to think about it carefully, how will this game be played?

And at this time, Tim Collins found Zhong Cheng. Regarding the arrival of Tim Collins, Zhong Cheng was a little puzzled, what happened?

Zhong Cheng looked up at Tim Collins and said, "What's wrong? Has there been a new change in the transfer?"

Tim Collins nodded excitedly and said, "As expected of the boss, you guessed me before I even spoke. It's really amazing, very amazing!"

Zhong Cheng gave Tim Collins a blank look, and said directly: "Okay, don't flatter me. Just tell me, what kind of change is this time falling to the ground?"

Tim Collins said immediately: "Boss, it's still Bresciano's business."

Zhong Cheng was slightly startled, sat up straight, and said, "Could it be that Palermo is willing to let him go, how much? As long as it's not too outrageous, we'll take Bresciano directly!"

Tim Collins shook his head slightly and said: "Boss, Palermo is willing to let people go. But they still don't want to sell Bresciano, they think Bresciano is still very promising."

Zhong Cheng's index finger knuckles kept tapping on the table, making a rhythmic sound. Tim Collins stood quietly, staring at Zhong Cheng, without speaking.

It took a while for Zhong Cheng to say: "You mean, Palermo is willing to loan Bresciano to us?"

Tim Collins nodded directly and said: "Yes, boss! Palermo proposed this way, and they proposed that the loan fee only need to be given a symbolic amount. The main reason is that we have to bear Bresciano's salary in the second half of the season. !"

Zhong Cheng nodded slightly. Palermo is really good. Let Leeds United train players for Palermo, and let Bresciano come to Leeds United to look for status. It is really possible.

However, Leeds United really needs Bresciano now, and Palermo must have spotted this. Zhong Cheng asked, "What's the situation with Bresciano's salary?"

Tim Collins said directly: "Boss, we have already learned about it. Bresciano's current annual salary is 1.2 million euros. This should not be a big problem for our club!"

Zhong Cheng frowned slightly. They would have to pay Bresciano 600,000 euros in half a year. How dare your Palermo club ask for a loan fee?

Zhong Cheng directly replied: "Reply to Palermo, we can lease Bresciano and pay his salary, but there is no rent fee. If you agree, you can sign the agreement directly. If you don't agree, then it's all over." !"

Tim Collins nodded directly, indicating that he understood. Then he turned around and went to deal with the matter. Tim Collins' efficiency was still very high. The next day Tim Collins brought Bresciano directly to Leeds United for a medical examination.

As long as he passes the medical examination, Bresciano is a member of Leeds United.

The physical examination was very fast. Bresciano's body did not have any problems. He passed the physical examination and passed the test directly. In this way, Bresciano officially rented Leeds United and became a member of Leeds United.
