Episode [285]: Mr. Mourinho's Call
Goal!
Mohamed Sissoko has scored!
Mohamed Sissoko's height is more than 1.9 meters, and the Japanese can only look at the ball and sigh.
Zhong Cheng gave the Japanese face again and replaced Mohamed Sissoko with Alexander Song. But when the game is about to end. Leeds United once again took advantage of a corner kick to break Gamba Osaka's goal. The goal was Pique, who was also over 1.9 meters tall.
Japan's Gamba Osaka team was overturned by Leeds United with a header.
Five to zero, Leeds United beat Gamba Osaka with five goals in Tokyo, Japan, and slapped the Japanese media in the face. The Japanese media was ashamed. Like the Korean media, they vented all their anger on Gamba Osaka, causing the players of Gamba Osaka to commit seppuku!
After the game, the Japanese media clamored very loudly!
The Japanese media believed that Gamba Osaka was mainly responsible for this loss. They were obviously able to play better, but they did not work hard in the game, which damaged the image of Japanese football. This group of people should be pulled out and shot.
The Japanese media also listed a lot of data, claiming that if Gamba Osaka went all out, the game would definitely not lose so badly. Gamba Osaka is a disgrace to Japanese football, it is this group of people who have discredited Japanese football.
These Japanese media still don't recognize the strength of Leeds United. They still think that Japanese football can defeat Leeds United, but Gamba Osaka can't.
Of course, there are still many people in the Japanese media who admit the facts.
The biggest difference between most of the Japanese media and the Korean media is this. They are able to admit failure and more objectively admit some facts.
Many Japanese media also claimed that the Japanese football team is really not the opponent of Leeds United. Leeds United is really too strong, even the Japanese national team can only lose if they face Leeds United.
They still praised Zhong Cheng, claiming that Zhong Cheng is the most powerful head coach in Asia, and even a world-class coach. Leeds United is very good under his training.
They also admitted their mistakes before the game, they were a little arrogant.
And such media are in the majority in Japan!
This is what is different from the Korean media. The domestic media in South Korea are still making sophistry. Claiming that Korean football is very strong, the loss to Leeds United this time was mainly due to the problems of the Seoul FC players themselves.
The South Korean media severely criticized Seoul FC, claiming that Seoul FC is simply a cancer of Korean football. It is they who have tarnished the glorious image of Korean football. This group of people should feel ashamed and should take the initiative to stand up and take responsibility!
Anyway, at this time, the Japanese and Korean media are making quite a fuss.
However, these have nothing to do with Zhong Cheng and Leeds United, and Leeds United's trip to Asia is completely over here.
━━━Separation line━━━
Zhong Cheng led the Leeds United players to fly directly back to Leeds, England. They wanted to take a few days off for the Leeds United players to rest for two days. Then the team will gather again, and then it is the final preparations for the new season, which is coming soon.
When the players were on vacation, Zhong Cheng did not.
Zhong Cheng has a lot of things to do now, the most important thing is signings.
Now Leeds United's signings are not over yet. Now they still need to introduce a right back, a midfielder, and a wide player.
At this time, the wide player Zhong Cheng is looking at is Christie Ronaldo's younger brother, Nani who is currently playing for Sporting Lisbon in Portugal!
However, there are many teams that are looking at Nani at this time, including Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Manchester United. Chelsea left Aryan Robben. Although they introduced Malouda, they felt that it was not enough. They took a fancy to Nani.
Bayern Munich originally wanted to introduce Franck Ribery, but Leeds United were unwilling to make a move at first. They only started Plan B, and Plan B was Nani of Portugal's Sporting Lisbon team.
Manchester United has always been very interested in Nani of Sporting Lisbon, because Cristiano Ronaldo of Manchester United has been clamoring for leaving Manchester United recently and wants to go to Real Madrid.
Because Cristiano Ronaldo has conflicts with Rooney and some players in the team, especially with Rooney. The conflict between them has long been open to the public. Although being suppressed by Sir Alex Ferguson, everyone seems to have forgotten that there is a grievance between the two, and these two are good friends. In fact, there has always been a pimple between them, which is why Cristiano Ronaldo always wants to leave during the transfer period.
Sir Alex Ferguson has been pressing Cristiano Ronaldo not to let him leave, because Alex Ferguson is really optimistic about Cristiano Ronaldo, and secondly, he has not yet found a suitable replacement.
At this time, Queiroz recommended another Portuguese to him. This person is not Quaresma, but Nani. Nani is indeed very similar to Cristiano Ronaldo. The same skills are gorgeous at his feet, he likes to excel, and his speed is also very fast. He really deserves to be Cristiano Ronaldo's junior.
Previously, Alex Ferguson did not introduce Nani immediately because Nani was still young. He hoped that you could experience another two years in Sporting Lisbon and grow up before introducing him.
Now it is obviously the opposite, Alex Ferguson hopes to introduce Nani.
However, at this time, there are already many clubs that have taken a fancy to Nani, including Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Leeds United. Manchester United has many, many competitors.
Alex Ferguson is also very nervous at this time, Nani is very important to them.
Now these teams are chasing Nani.
Zhong Cheng told Di Matteo to talk about Nani, Zhong Cheng is still more optimistic about Nani.
However, Leeds United may not really need Nani.
Because there are still many wide players in the Leeds United team, such as Samir Nasri, Joaquin, Shao Jiayi, Eden Hazard, De Bruyne and the injured Frank Ribery. The reason why Zhong Cheng wants to introduce Nani is that Frank Ribery is currently injured, and Eden Hazard and De Bruyne are really too young, so they need a wide player.
However, if it is really impossible to introduce Nani, it is not a big deal for Leeds United.
However, Zhong Cheng still hopes that Leeds United can go all out to negotiate Nani's affairs.
Being able to poach the corner of Manchester United can weaken the strength of the opponent. Such a thing should naturally be done by Leeds United.
━━━Separation line━━━
When Leeds United was aggressively pursuing Nani, Zhong Cheng received a call.
Zhong Cheng picked up the phone and looked at it, frowning slightly, he really didn't expect him to call.
After Zhong Cheng connected, he immediately said: "Mr. Mourinho, it's really rare. I never thought you would call me!" Yes, it was Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho who called Zhong Cheng.
Everyone thought that after the end of last season, Jose Mourinho, who had many conflicts with Abramovich, would leave Chelsea and be fired. But what I didn't expect was that Jose Mourinho is still sitting in the position of Chelsea's head coach.
This surprised even Zhong Cheng, what was going on?
Jose Mourinho immediately said: "Okay, Mr. Loya, there is no need to exchange pleasantries between us. I only called you for one thing today!"
Zhong Cheng frowned slightly, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Jose Mourinho did not beat around the bush, and said directly: "I hope Leeds United can give up Nani. Your club will only take half a season to introduce Nani. After Frank Ribery recovers from injury, there is no place for him at all!"
Zhong Cheng really didn't expect that Jose Mourinho would call him because of this matter.
Zhong Cheng said with a chuckle: "We don't need Mr. Mourinho's relationship with Leeds United's signings. We have our own plans!"
Jose Mourinho immediately said: "Your club's introduction of Nani is really hurting him. Your team has too many wide players. There is no chance for him to go. And I think he is also unwilling to go to your Leeds United team!"
Zhong Cheng chuckled and said, "Since you think he doesn't want to come to our Leeds United team, why did you call me?"
Jose Mourinho immediately said: "It is good to have one less competitor, and I hope you will stop raising your price!"
Yes, Jose Mourinho does not want Leeds United to raise the price again.
Although Jose Mourinho is still sitting as the head coach of Chelsea this season, he is no longer trusted, so his transfer fee this season is not much, not like when he first took over Chelsea.
Zhong Cheng chuckled and said, "Why would I do this? Mr. Mourinho?"
Jose Mourinho seemed to have expected Zhong Cheng to say this, and he immediately said: "I heard that your club is now looking for a right back, and I can recommend one to you!"
Zhong Cheng was slightly taken aback, as if thinking of someone.
Zhong Cheng immediately asked, "Who is it?"
Jose Mourinho also did not sell off and said directly: "Glenn Johnson of our club!"
Sure enough, as Zhong Cheng imagined, it was Glenn Johnson. Glenn Johnson is a very talented right back, but after being bought out by Chelsea, his performance in Chelsea was unsatisfactory. He gradually lost his main position and even became a marginal man of Chelsea.
In Zhong Cheng's memory, Glenn Johnson seems to have left Chelsea this season and then moved to Portsmouth.
Glenn Johnson is a very characteristic right back. His assist ability is very strong and his speed is very fast. But his defense is relatively rough, and it is precisely because his defense is a bit poor that he is not in the eyes of Jose Mourinho.
However, Zhong Cheng knew that this guy had matured all of a sudden after he went to Portsmouth. His defense had made great progress, and his assists became more and more sharp. Two years later, he joined the Red Army Liverpool, and he also had a good performance in Liverpool.
Zhong Cheng still likes this player, and now Leeds United also needs such a player, so Jose Mourinho's proposal Zhong Cheng is very tempting.
