Episode [244]: A Club with Feelings

Another morning, Zhong Cheng was sitting by the window, enjoying the breeze.

The air in the early morning in summer is very fresh, Zhong Cheng has the habit of getting up early.

Julia Oliveira, who was wearing a white silk nightgown, handed over a cup of steaming strong tea, then sat charmingly in Zhong Cheng's arms, gave a sweet kiss, and asked: "Dear Boss, you are in a daze early in the morning, can you tell me what you are thinking?"

Zhong Cheng shook his head slightly, did not speak, but just stared out the window preoccupied.

Julia Oliveira was taken aback for a moment, she knew that the only thing that could make Zhong Cheng like this was the team's business. However, Leeds United has just won the Triple Crown and it is at its peak, so there shouldn't be any problems, right?

Julia Oliveira speculated: "Could it be that a team poached a corner?"

Zhong Cheng turned his head and glanced at Julia Oliveira, and stretched out his hand to caress the plump and towering jade peak on his chest, which caused Julia Oliveira's face to turn red, her brows bright, and she said coquettishly: "No one is serious. shape!"

After finishing speaking, Julia Oliveira took the initiative to send a sweet kiss.

The passionate two started their morning exercise again!

Afterwards, Julia Oliveira's bumpy body lay in Zhong Cheng's arms, staring at Zhong Cheng with a springy face, and asked: "My dear boss, there is a problem with the team. ?"

Zhong Cheng chuckled and said, "Why do you ask that? Why must there be a problem with the team?"

Julia Oliveira snorted proudly, got up straight away, put on a white nightgown, and said as she walked to the bathroom: "In your case, only the team's affairs will make you so distracted!"

Zhong Cheng frowned slightly: "Am I out of my mind?"

Julia Oliveira suddenly turned around and gave Zhong Cheng a coquettish look, and said, "Although you haven't lost your mind, you have a lot of things on your mind!"

After finishing speaking, Julia Oliveira walked directly into the bathroom without even closing the bathroom door, and there was the sound of dripping water in the bathroom.

Zhong Cheng nodded slightly, he was really preoccupied recently.

There are really many things about the team now, more than Zhong Cheng himself imagined.

The first is the retirement of Albertini and Gary Kelly. To be honest, Zhong Cheng still doesn't really want these two to retire like this. Judging from the FA Cup final, the two are in very good condition, and they can continue to play for two seasons.

However, it is clear that both Albertini and Gary Kelly are determined to leave. However, the good thing is that Albertini is willing to stay at Leeds United and become a member of the team's coaching staff. In fact, this season, Albertini is more engaged in coaching work, which is familiar to him .

Zhong Cheng is still worried about Gary Kelly. Zhong Cheng really hopes that he can stay in Leeds United and become a youth training coach of the team. will attract more people.

However, according to Gary Kelly, he seems to want to take a while away from football.

Zhong Cheng is going to talk to Gary Kelly again to see if he can keep the legendary player of the Leeds United club.

In addition to this, of course it is the club's transfer and signings.

Originally, Zhong Cheng was very optimistic about Mascherano. In the middle of the season, he had to negotiate with Mascherano's agent, but he almost signed the contract. However, Mascherano's agent later repented, a bit greedy.

However, generally speaking, Leeds United has a great advantage.

Zhong Cheng is planning to completely buy out Mascherano this summer, but Mascherano was seriously injured at the end of the season. What Zhong Cheng didn't expect was that before he had time to talk to Javier Mascherano's agent, the news had already come out that Javier Mascherano no longer belonged to Leeds United, nor did he belong to Javier Mascherano. Celano's brokerage firm, Mascherano's ownership was bought by Liverpool.

Zhong Cheng heard the whole process from Mascherano's agent.

Originally, Mascherano's agency was asking for 35 million pounds, while Liverpool was only willing to pay 28 million pounds. Just when the two sides were deadlocked, Mascherano was seriously injured. The situation took a turn for the worse. In the end, the Liverpool team won the ownership of Mascherano at a price of 22 million pounds, and Mascherano became a member of the Liverpool team.

There is also Carlos Tevez, this guy is clamoring to leave England and return to South America to play for the guy who just accepted the offer from the Red Devils Manchester United not long ago, at a price of 1,500 pounds from his agent. Ya Jurabchian bought the right to use Tevez for two years, and two years later, as long as Manchester United make up 30 million pounds, Carlos Tevez can be completely bought out.

It is said that the transfer of Carlos Tevez to Manchester United is very complicated. Some people say that Manchester United spent 15 million pounds on loan for Carlos Tevez for two years. Some people say that Manchester United spent 15 million pounds to buy him. Partial ownership of Carlos Tevez...

Anyway, this matter is very complicated, and neither Manchester United nor Carlos Tevez have come forward to explain this situation.

After learning about this, Zhong Cheng felt very uncomfortable.

The reason why Carlos Tevez wanted to leave Leeds United was that he was adapting to the English way of life. He missed his hometown very much. He must leave here and never England again.

Well, it's only been a few days? Not only did this guy not return to South America, but he directly joined the Red Devils Manchester United.

Zhong Cheng was really speechless, Carlos Tevez played such a conspiracy.

At the beginning, when Carlos Tevez and Mascherano were on loan, Zhong Cheng reached an agreement with the brokerage company behind them, and Leeds United had the right of first refusal.

Well, now this right of first refusal turned out to be useless as a decoration.

Zhong Cheng really felt that this economic company was really lacking in standards and integrity. Of course, Zhong Cheng also knew that Zhong Cheng couldn't afford the price these two sold.

It's not that Zhong Cheng has no money, it's that he doesn't think these two people are worth the price.

Of course, Mascherano may not be bad, but since Mascherano himself doesn't want to stay, what else can he miss?

Now, the season has just ended, and Leeds United has already lost four players, and they are all relatively important players. Is Leeds United going to make another big change this season?

This is what Zhong Cheng is worried about now!

━━━Separation line━━━

Leeds Stables Training Base, Head Coach Office.

Leeds United has not actually disbanded yet, because Leeds United still has one game left to play. This is Zhong Cheng's farewell performance specially prepared for Albertini and Gary Kelly.

To be honest, this game was only finalized in the last few days.

The opponent was Leyton Orient from the English First Division, the legendary five-pound club.

In 1995, Tony Wood, the chairman of the Leyton Orient Club, lost his voice in growing coffee because of the civil war in Rwanda, causing economic problems. At the same time, his body also had problems, and he was unable to support the Leyton Orient Club anymore, so his friend Barry Hearn took the Leyton Orient Club for five pounds.

At that time, this incident caused a great sensation in England. Channel 4 of England also filmed a documentary [Oriente: Five Pounds Football Club], which reported that Leyton Orient was on the verge of bankruptcy and the team was traded. Lord's business.

They were promoted to League One last season, but this season, they ranked twentieth in League One and were almost relegated back to League Two.

The chairman of this team heard that Leeds United wanted to hold a farewell match for Albertini and Gary Kelly, so they took the initiative to contact the Leeds United Club and were willing to play a warm-up friendly match with the Leeds United Club.

Because decisions were made in a hurry at that time, and it was difficult to find an opponent at that time. The Leiden Orient Club suddenly came to the door, which solved Zhong Cheng's current troubles. Zhong Cheng naturally would not refuse, accepted the game, and at the same time was very grateful to Leiden Orient.

Leyton East threw an olive branch to Leeds United, and a friendship was gradually established between the two teams.

Now, the players of Leeds United are staying in Leeds, waiting for the arrival of this last game. To be honest, the players of Leeds United also attach great importance to this game, because they are saying goodbye to their big brothers.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the office, and Zhong Cheng immediately said, "Please come in!"

The office door opened and Gary Kelly walked into the head coach's office.

Gary Kelly said: "Boss, I heard you are looking for me?"

Zhong Cheng nodded and motioned for Gary Kelly to sit down. Julia Oliveira brought a cup of hot coffee and went out.

Zhong Cheng said: "Gary, have you really considered leaving football?"

Gary Kelly guessed that Zhong Cheng's finding was in this regard, and he immediately said: "I am very grateful to the boss for his importance to me. To be honest, I have deep feelings for Leeds United, and I also hope to stay here. However, these Over the years, I have put all my energy and emotion into the team, which made me neglect my family and children. I feel that I owe them a lot. Now I think I should give some time to accompany them. I hope you can understand that ,boss!"

Zhong Cheng nodded, Gary Kelly had already talked about this, and it was hard for Zhong Cheng to keep him.

Zhong Cheng said: "I respect your decision, Gary. However, I still reserve a position for you as the coach of the youth team. When you want to come back, come back. The door of Leeds United will always be open to you!"

Gary Kelly was very grateful, got up straight away, gave Zhong Cheng a big hug, and said, "Thank you, boss, thank you very much!"

Zhong Cheng smiled slightly and said: "I should be thankful, thank you for your dedication to Leeds United over the years, you will always be a member of our Leeds United, forever!"

Gary Kelly was really moved to tears.

Gary Kelly knew that his dedication to Leeds United over the years was not in vain, although he never thought of getting anything in return. However, the rewards Leeds United gave him far exceeded his imagination, and the decision he made was not wrong.

Gary Kelly was very excited in his heart and kept nodding.

Leeds United is a very affectionate club!
