Episode [258]: Premeditated Signings and Asian Tour
Arsene Wenger's heart is bleeding!
After the deal with Thomas Vermaelen, Arsene Wenger didn't even have the heart to talk about Nicholas Bendtner and Diaby, because he cared about money.
Originally, he thought that packing the three would be about 25 million pounds. How do you know that Thomas Vermaelen alone spent 21 million pounds.
Arsene Wenger is in pain!
Thinking about the 10 million pounds for Nicholas Bendtner and the 15 million pounds for Abu Diaby that Zhong Cheng said before, he will spend 46 million pounds on these three!
My goodness, this is absolutely unacceptable.
However, Arsene Wenger is very optimistic about these two people and really hopes to introduce them. Especially Nicholas Bendtner!
As Zhong Cheng said, in Arsene Wenger's eyes, Nicholas Bendtner is Denmark's Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and he really hopes to introduce this young man.
Although there is Adebayor in their team now, Arsene Wenger has already sensed that Adebayor is an inefficient lamp, and he will definitely be a lion when he renews his contract with the team in the future. Open your mouth, when the time comes, they may not be able to keep this guy.
So, now he is preparing for the future.
Nicholas Bendtner is very good, but 10 million pounds is still a bit expensive, very expensive.
Although Nicholas Bendtner is also the champion of the UEFA Cup and two consecutive Premier League titles, he is not the main force, and he is a substitute. Last season, he was the fifth striker on Leeds United's front line. Although the efficiency of scoring goals in few opportunities is very good, 10 million pounds is really too high.
Moreover, they were the ones who almost signed Nicholas Bendtner back then, and Nicholas Bendtner was cut off by Zhong Cheng. They all came to London to go to the Arsenal club for a physical examination, but they were cut off by Zhong Cheng on the way.
Thinking about it now, Arsene Wenger was really vomiting blood with anger.
Back then they were able to bring in Nicholas Bendtner almost for free, but now they have to spend 10 million pounds to bring in Nicholas Bendtner.
Thinking of this, Arsene Wenger widened his eyes, staring at Zhong Cheng with murderous eyes.
Zhong Cheng smiled indifferently, and then said: "Mr. Arsene Wenger, don't look at me with such eyes, I will be shy!"
Arsene Wenger snorted coldly, and then said directly: "10 million pounds, pack Nicholas and Abramovich, if you agree, I will take them away. If you don't agree, forget it!"
Zhong Cheng shook his head directly and said: "For 10 million pounds, you can only take away one person! I think you should just take away one person, Nicholas Bendtner or Abu Diaby, you choose one!"
Arsene Wenger naturally saw the determination in Zhong Cheng's eyes.
Arsène Wenger's heart skipped a beat, this guy Zhong Cheng has really become determined after eating the weight. He was going to bluff Zhong Cheng, but now it seems impossible.
Arsene Wenger is still very interested in these two, but according to Zhong Cheng's quotation, he has no way to introduce them.
Zhong Cheng said: "You don't have to think about letting the players put pressure on me, because you know my temper. If it really gets to a certain point, maybe they will be the next Elavi!"
Arsene Wenger raised his brows and felt shocked. This damn guy is indeed a tyrant. What a tyrant!
Arsene Wenger said: "To be honest, I am very interested in these two people. But the price you gave for these two people is really too expensive. How about 12 million pounds to pack these two people? What do you think?" ?”
12 million pounds, which means 6 million pounds per person. To be honest, this price is acceptable to Zhong Cheng. After all, it is 2007, and these two are also substitutes in Leeds United's substitutes. It is very good to be able to sell this price. It is already a very dark shop. Black shop.
However, Zhong Cheng is obviously not satisfied, he naturally hopes to sell as many as possible. But Arsene Wenger is not stupid, he certainly will not spend 25 million pounds for these two.
Now, Arsene Wenger is bargaining with Zhong Cheng, and it can be seen that he very much hopes to bring in these two players.
Finally, after several rounds of bargaining, Arsene Wenger is willing to pack Nicolas Bendtner and Abu Diaby with a price of 15 million pounds.
After buying these two, Arsene Wenger had a headache, because they should have been introduced by Arsenal. If they had done it earlier, they would have cost around 2 million pounds. Now they are But it cost 7.5 times the price to introduce these two people. Arsene Wenger really wanted to cry.
As soon as the two men settled, Arsene Wenger left Leeds without hesitation.
Arsene Wenger really doesn't want to stay here any longer, damn it!
Arsene Wenger hates Zhong Cheng as a piece of trash. This guy has cheated him so badly this time. He has given Zhong Cheng £36 million now.
The thought of losing £36 million just like that made Arsène Wenger really terrified.
Arsene Wenger is already a little thankful now, thankful that he didn't propose to buy more people, otherwise, he would definitely bleed heavily.
Black, Leeds United is really a big black shop!
Arsene Wenger left with endless anger and curses on Zhong Cheng.
Zhong Cheng laughed loudly in his office, he really made a miserable profit today, this is simply the best profit ever, beautiful. A glass man sold for 21 million pounds, that's nothing, Zhong Cheng is definitely the best.
And the most important thing is that these people should all belong to Arsene Wenger, but now Zhong Cheng has made a lot of money from Arsene Wenger, and he is very happy. At this time, there is no longer the unhappiness and anger of being poached, and some are only happy.
Now Zhong Cheng is still thinking about whether there are better things, for example, will Chelsea buy Gary Cahill or David Lewis from them at a high price in the future?
This kind of money is really easy to earn, Zhong Cheng is going to embrace a group of little monsters, and then wait for the wrinkle to sell for money.
Of course, what Zhong Cheng has to do now is to find new aid. Because Leeds United left a lot of people this season, although there is no injury, but if they want to maintain competitiveness, Leeds United will supplement.
Now the position of the defensive midfielder needs to be supplemented, because this season has already left several defensive midfielders, including Albertini, Diaby and Mascherano, they must be supplemented.
Now the defensive midfielders that Zhong Cheng wants to introduce are not the BtoB midfielders. He wants the sweeping midfielder. The interception ability must be strong and the defensive midfielder must cover a large area. He doesn't even need it. This kind of midfielder participates in the attack, just like Las Diarra before.
However, there are not many such sweeping midfielders anymore.
The current trend of midfielders is moving closer to the organizational midfielder and the BtoB type of midfielder. There are a lot of such midfielders. However, there are very few powerful sweeping midfielders, and each one will be very expensive. Zhong Cheng needs such a defensive midfielder in his tactics, so it is still difficult to find someone now.
However, in Zhong Cheng's memory bank, there are still a lot of candidates, such as Mohamed?
However, some of them are not yet mature enough, so they cannot directly play the main force.
The one who can directly serve as the main force now should be Mohammed? Sissoko, which is Zhong Cheng's first choice now. Mohamed Sissoko is now at Liverpool. However, Liverpool has just introduced Mascherano, Mohamed? Sissoko has no place.
Zhong Cheng's first goal for the midfielder is Mohamed Sissoko. This guy's defense in the midfield is very fierce, giving people a super sense of oppression, his running ability is very good, and his physical fitness is so good Explosion, interception ability is good, sweeping ability is also very strong.
However, sometimes this guy just can't control himself, he presses too hard, his movements are a bit big, and he is easy to get a card. And sometimes, this guy's sense of position is not very strong, but now this last problem has been improved a lot.
Moreover, Zhong Cheng is confident that he will be able to train Mohamed Sissoko successfully.
Therefore, Zhong Cheng's first task for the transfer department is to test the information of the Liverpool team to see if Mohamed Sissoko is in their plan.
Zhong Cheng firmly believes that Benitez's plan does not include Mohamed Sissoko.
In Zhong Cheng's memory, Mohamed Sissoko seems to have left Liverpool this summer and moved to Juventus, a giant that has just been promoted back to Serie A.
Obviously, Zhong Cheng wanted to cut off the Hu and win Mohamed Sissoko.
Zhong Cheng is very fond of this kind of black and hard powerful midfielder, which is commonly known as the beast waist. He appreciates this kind of midfielder very much. Didn’t he introduce Lars Diarra and Wild Boar David before? Are these people? This shows Zhong Cheng's preferences.
In addition to Mohamed? Sissoko, Zhong Cheng is also very interested in Wanyama. However, the current Wanyama is still quite young and immature, so he may not be as powerful as later generations. Therefore, when introducing this person, Zhong Cheng still hesitated.
Because after Wanyama came to Leeds United, he may not have too many opportunities to play.
Instead of letting him come to Leeds United to sit on the bench, it is better to just play outside and grow by himself.
However, Zhong Cheng still told the cronies of the transfer department about these people and asked them to secretly investigate the current situation of these people.
It is necessary to investigate secretly, because Zhong Cheng's eyes on young people are too scary now. If many clubs know Zhong Cheng's goal, they will be happy to cut him halfway and take a gamble. Therefore, these things have to be done in secret, and only Zhong Cheng's heart knows.
After Zhong Cheng handed over these matters to his assistant, he was ready to go back to China.
Because in China, Zhong Cheng has a lot of activities to do, and he also has to promote their company's film, and he will also make a guest appearance in a film. Similarly, Zhong Cheng is planning to establish a football school under Leeds United in China to contribute a little to Chinese football.
Anyway, Zhong Cheng has a lot of things to do when he returns to China this time.
And this year, Leeds United's pre-season warm-up matches are all held in Asia. Leeds United will hold an Asian tour this year. They will play one game each in Thailand, Hong Kong, China, Japan and South Korea. , Leeds United’s opponent is the Thai national team, Hong Kong’s opponent in Hong Kong is the Hong Kong South China team, the opponent in China is the Beijing Guoan team, the opponent in Japan is the Urawa Red Diamonds, and the opponent in South Korea is the Seoul FC team. The strength of the team is not very strong. Leeds United is going to attract fans and open up the Asian market.
