Episode [288]: Warm-Up Matches and Transfer Rumors
Yes, Kramer has a great hatred for Zhong Cheng!
Moreover, Cramer also felt the addition of poaching Zhong Cheng's corner. Last season, Huntelaar and others performed very well, especially Huntelaar, who is very strong, and he really deserves to be the Premier League Golden Boot.
This season, Cramer wants to poach Zhong Cheng's corner again.
Firstly, it can reduce the strength of Leeds United, secondly, it can increase the strength of Sheffield Wednesday, and thirdly, it can let out a bad breath.
Of course, the most important reason is the third!
Kramer just didn't like Zhong Cheng, he just wanted to take revenge on Zhong Cheng, and let Zhong Cheng know how much he offended Kramer.
The Sheffield Wednesday team made a long list of offers to Leeds United, including Pique, Kompany, Luka Modric, Yoan Gourcuff, Frank Ribery and Joaquin.
This is simply digging the backbone of Leeds United.
And this guy Cramer is very arrogant, I just have money, rich and rich!
Cramer didn't know where he heard Zhong Cheng's reply to Jose Mourinho and Arsene Wenger. He directly offered Pique and Franck Ribery both 40 million pounds, that is to say, Cramer wanted 80 million pounds to package Frank Ribery and Pique.
When seeing this offer, Zhong Cheng was a little confused.
This guy Cramer is simply more Abramovich than Abramovich, this is simply not money. Cramer is really awesome.
To be honest, Zhong Cheng was really moved when he saw this quotation.
However, Zhong Cheng quickly rejected the offer!
Even if Cramer really offered Pique and Franck Ribery 50 million pounds each at this time, Zhong Cheng would still refuse, because the new season is really coming soon. Sending away these absolute main players at this time, it is difficult for Leeds United to find someone to supplement them. Even if they find someone to come, it will take time to get used to it. Leeds United is running out of time now.
Zhong Cheng directly rejected Kramer, claiming that these players are not for sale from Leeds United!
Kramer was naturally very angry, but he didn't stop. He wanted to repeat the old trick. The last time they introduced Huntelaar, they got in touch with the player himself in private. From the player himself, they have a great chance to introduce these players.
However, Cramer soon suffered from Pique and Franck Ribery. The two never thought about leaving Leeds United, and even if they did, they would not choose to join the Sheffield Wednesday team.
If Pique really wants to leave Leeds United, his next home will obviously only be Barcelona. If it weren't for Barcelona, he really had no reason to leave Leeds United. And Frank Ribery will obviously look down on the Sheffield Wednesday team. If he leaves Leeds United, his next home will only be a wealthy club.
Unfortunately, your Sheffield Wednesday team is not a giant.
Cramer is naturally very angry, who is he? When had he been so angry? Cramer was very angry, and directly issued a death order to gather Leeds United this season. In the two rounds with Leeds United, Sheffield Wednesday must win all, and severely humiliate the damn Leeds United!
Although frustrated, Kramer will not give up just yet!
Cramer is still in contact with the players of Leeds United at this time. He believes that not all of them belong to Pique and Franck Ribery. Someone will lose resistance in the face of fame, wealth and power!
Cramer privately thought about poaching the corner of Leeds United, and at this time Leeds United ushered in another warm-up match.
Leeds United's opponent in this warm-up match is the Hammers from the British Championship to help West Ham United.
In this game, Zhong Cheng still has an all-main lineup. Zhong Cheng mainly focuses on running-in the lineup. Leeds United performed very well in this game, especially Luca Tony.
In this game, Leeds United defeated their opponents 5-1.
Leeds United finally conceded a goal in this season's warm-up match, and their golden body of clean sheet was pierced. But Zhong Cheng didn't care much, and to be honest, it wouldn't affect anything.
At this time, Jose Mourinho is making an offer to Leeds United again!
Jose Mourinho did not give up on Frank Ribery. His offer this time was 25 million pounds, a one-time direct price increase of 5 million pounds.
In Jose Mourinho's view, this time he is really very sincere, and Leeds United should let go. After all, Franck Ribery is not the Franck Ribery he was half a year ago, this guy is already injured.
After spending such a large price, he, Jose Mourinho, still has to take a very big risk.
It is said that at this time Chelsea had a falling out again, and Abramovich expressed strong dissatisfaction with Jose Mourinho spending so much money to introduce an injured. There was another major conflict between the two, which seemed to have affected the most fundamental thing between the two.
The outside media reported frantically, claiming that Jose Mourinho's time at Chelsea is not long, and that Jose Mourinho will be suddenly fired just before the start of the new season.
At this time, the Chelsea fans were naturally very angry and in a very bad mood. The new season is just around the corner, and there are still such contradictions within the team. In the new season, Chelsea will play or not, will they play or not?
The fans of the Chelsea team are also very divided. Some people support Jose Mourinho. It is very good to introduce Frank Ribery. His arrival can strengthen the strength of the Chelsea team. His strength is much stronger than Arjen Robben.
Arjen Robben has so much money, is it really nothing to buy a Frank Ribery now?
Of course, there are also many people who question Jose Mourinho. The Chelsea team can't afford to spend so much money to introduce an injured player and take such a big risk. Many people think that Jose Mourinho must have selfish intentions, maybe this guy will still take kickbacks.
It's been said since Jose Mourinho first arrived at Chelsea. Because Jose Mourinho can spend too much money in the transfer market, and almost all the players introduced are bought at high prices, which will inevitably make people feel that there is something tricky in it.
Now that Jose Mourinho is spending £25m to bring in a wounded player, it is even more questionable.
Anyway, Jose Mourinho's situation is really very, very bad now.
But these have nothing to do with Zhong Cheng. Zhong Cheng doesn’t care about Jose Mourinho’s situation. He directly rejected Jose Mourinho’s offer. Didn’t you see that Kramer didn’t agree to so many offers? Your offer from Jose Mourinho is really far, far away.
Zhong Cheng turned down Jose Mourinho and claimed Franck Ribery was not for sale.
This dissuaded Jose Mourinho from continuing to make offers, otherwise this guy would keep making offers.
At this time, Leeds United ushered in another pre-season warm-up match. The opponent in this game is the Valencia team from Spain.
The strength of the Valencia team is very strong, and there are some good players in their formation.
This game was regarded as Leeds United's strongest team in the personal competition at the beginning of the season. In this game, Zhong Cheng was naturally unambiguous and formed a full lineup.
Leeds United's lineup today is as follows:
Goalkeeper: Zhong Zheng
Back four [left to right]: Patrick Evra, Pique, Kompany and Sagna
Single midfielder: Mohamed Sissoko
Three strikers [left to right]: Samir Nasri, Luka Modric and Joaquin
Forwards: Luca Toni and Edinson Cavani
At the beginning of this game, Valencia firmly controlled the football. The Spanish team has exquisite skills at their feet, excellent passing and receiving, and strong integrity. Leeds United naturally put on a counterattack posture to welcome Valencia's attack.
Valencia's attack threatened Leeds United's goal many times, but Zhong Zheng was in a very good state, and the continuous saves saved the football. Then, relying on a quick counterattack launched by Zhong Zheng's strong hand throw, Leeds United broke through the opponent's goal in the 20th minute of the first half, 1-0.
The goal came from Edinson Cavani, who slammed into the Valencia penalty area after receiving a header from Luca Toni, and scored with a low shot.
Leeds United's counterattack efficiency is very, very high, and the Valencians really saw it this time.
The game continued, and Valencia's offense was still very sharp. David Villa on the front line performed very well. He suddenly turned around unexpectedly in the penalty area, passed the defender, and then shot. The football rolled into the goal of Leeds United.
Sure enough, it is David Villa!
There are many clubs chasing him this summer, such as the Red Devils Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Chelsea, but David Villa rejected these giants and chose to stay in Valencia and continue to play for Valencia.
This guy is really strong, and he has caused a lot of trouble for Leeds United.
One to one even.
However, Leeds United soon overtook the score again. It was a chance of a direct free kick in the frontcourt, Luka Modric stood in front of the football, and he directly broke the goal of Valencia with Albertini's stunt deciduous ball, 2-1.
In the first half, Leeds United led 2-1.
In the second half of the game, Leeds United made a lot of substitutions. Obviously Zhong Cheng didn't care about the final result of the warm-up match. What he cared about was the state of the players, so in the second half of the game, Leeds United replaced a lot of young players.
Leeds United's control has obviously dropped a lot, and the success rate of counterattacks has also dropped a bit. But the strength is still good, especially with Alexander Pato, the threat of counterattack is there.
Valencia's defense has also been greatly affected.
Both sides performed very well in the second half of the game. First, David Villa scored twice with a long-range shot from the front of the penalty area, and then Alexander Pato from Leeds United successfully reversed offside and scored a single-handed goal.
At the last moment, Valencia scored another goal with a corner kick to equalize the score.
In this game, Leeds United drew 3-3 with Valencia. Leeds United finally did not win the pre-season warm-up match.
Zhong Cheng didn't care about this, the results of the warm-up match meant nothing!
Now Zhong Cheng's eyes are on the upcoming Community Shield game, which is equivalent to the warm-up before the new season. This game is equivalent to the start of the new season, and Zhong Cheng attaches great importance to it.
Next weekend, England's Community Shield is coming!
