Episode [295]: Alternative Midfielders

Two to one, Leeds United defeated Chelsea and won the Community Shield!

This is the first championship won by Leeds United in the new season!

Of course, the weight of this championship is not very large, but he is also a champion, which is a good start for Leeds United's new season.

However, Leeds United also showed many problems in this game.

The players of Leeds United have not reached their best condition, and the cooperation between the newly joined players and the players of Leeds United has not reached an absolute tacit understanding.

To be honest, a tactic like Leeds United has very high requirements for the integrity of the team. Zhong Cheng is asking these players to integrate into the team as soon as possible, and the start of the new season is imminent.

However, at this time, Leeds United must still sign up.

That is the position of the midfielder. This season, Leeds United left Mascherano, Albertini and Diaby, and only one Mohamed Sissoko came. Although there are Alexander Song and Yaya Toure in the position of the midfielder, the three seem to be enough, but they are not.

In the new season, there are still a lot of Leeds United games!

This requires a lot of players to rotate, so as to guarantee the performance of Leeds United.

Secondly, Yaya Toure will still be used more as a rotation candidate for the midfielder. Because Zhong Cheng doesn't want to stifle his offensive talent, this guy will do a good job in the midfielder position, and he has more prospects.

Zhong Cheng remembers this guy's excellent performance in the midfielder position in the late Barcelona and Manchester City periods. Although many people now call him "New Vieira", he has indeed not reached Vieira's height in defense, but he is far ahead of Vieira in offense.

Therefore, Zhong Cheng mainly positions him as a front midfielder, and of course he will occasionally appear in the position of a defensive midfielder, or even appear in the position of a central defender.

Therefore, the position of the defensive midfielder must be complemented by someone, especially a defensive midfielder.

Zhong Cheng now values ​​many people, such as Marchisio from Juventus, Luis Gustavo from Brazil, Felipe Melo from Racing Santander, Mbia from Rennes, Samir Khedira from Stuttgart, Fellaini from Standard Liege and Seydoux Keita from Lens, etc.

These midfielders are all good midfielders, especially some of them have very strong defensive strength, which is very suitable for the current Leeds United.

Zhong Cheng is now asking Leeds United's transfer department staff to contact these people.

In fact, regardless of the long list on this list, there are not many people who Gong Zhongcheng chooses. First of all, Luis Gustavo and Felipe Melo from Brazil have no chance, because they are from South America, not an EU country, and they have not been selected for the Brazilian national team, so they cannot get a labor certificate at all, and it is impossible to use special talent regulations.

Because of this season, Leeds United's special talent regulations have been given to Alexander Pato.

Therefore, the two Zhong Cheng had no choice but to give up.

Samir Khedira of Stuttgart, Zhong Cheng has contacted the Stuttgart club of the Bundesliga, and they are not for sale. And the player himself does not want to leave Germany, so this player cannot be obtained.

Next is Marchisio. This player has been a Juventus supporter since he was a child. He has trained in the Juventus youth academy since he was a child, and was once the captain of the Juventus youth team. When Juventus was relegated to Serie B last season, Marchisio got the chance to play for the first team, and his performance was good. However, this season Juventus has exhausted a large number of stars and squeezed the living space of Marchisio and other young players. These young players are going to be loaned out.

However, Zhong Cheng does not want to rent, but hopes to be able to introduce!

Marchisio's defensive ability is very good, and his sweeping ability is very strong. He is a strong defensive midfielder. But his ability to play the ball is also good, he can complete the defensive task very well in the midfielder, and he can also choose the best timing and direction to play the ball.

Therefore, the introduction of Marchisio is actually good.

However, Juventus may not choose to give up Marchisio. They still have hope for the players who have come out of their youth team.

However, Zhong Cheng knows that even after Marchisio returns to Juventus on loan, he will not be Juventus' first and second choice. In Zhong Cheng's memory, after he returned to Juventus on loan, he waited for half a season and Marchisio got a chance after the team's No. 1 and No. 2 midfielders were injured.

Therefore, Zhong Cheng feels that he should be able to persuade Marchisio, but it is difficult to persuade Juventus. Juventus may not choose to sell Marchisio!

Therefore, Marchisio can put a question mark here.

Then there are only three people, Fellaini, Mbia and Seydu Keita.

These three people seem to be relatively reliable, and they have a great chance to be introduced. First of all, Mbia and Seydoux Keita, both of whom play in France, are naturally very happy to let them transfer to the Premier League.

Although these two men are from Africa and are not members of the European Union, they are the absolute main force of their respective national teams and can obtain labor certificates.

The introduction of these two people is very realistic.

The same is true for Fellaini. He is from Belgium and is a member of the European Union. He does not need to consider the issue of labor certification at all. Obviously, the Premier League is much more attractive than the Belgian League, and Fellaini is definitely willing to come to Leeds United.

Moreover, the Standard Liege Club cannot resist the capital entry of Leeds United.

At this moment, what Zhong Cheng had to consider was which one of the three would be more appropriate to introduce?

To be honest, these three Zhong Cheng are more optimistic, and they all think that these three can help Leeds United and make Leeds United's defense sharper.

Mbia is tall, but his physical flexibility and speed are very strong, his physical fitness is very abnormal, he is fierce defensively in the midfielder position, and his ability to sweep and intercept is very good. He is a typical defensive midfielder, and he can also play as a central defender.

In Zhong Cheng's memory, Mbia later went to play in the Chinese Super League, which made many Chinese people know about this player.

In fact, this player is also very famous in European football.

His most commendable achievement is that he joined the La Liga Sevilla club in 2013 and helped the team win the UEFA Europa League (UEFA Cup) for two consecutive years!

At that time, he was still the absolute main force, his performance was very good, he was the absolute hero of the Sevilla club, and his strength was very strong.

For this player, Zhong Cheng is still very optimistic, and he will definitely come to Leeds United Club to play a rotation main position.

The current Mbia is only 21 years old, very young, and the future is promising!

And Seydu Keita is also very powerful. The current Seydu Keita is 27 years old, and he is in his prime! In Zhong Cheng's memory, Seydu Keita also played for the Chinese Super League, and even caused a sensation in the Chinese Super League. Of course, his most commendable achievement is after he joined the La Liga giants Barcelona in 2008.

After joining Barcelona, ​​Seydu Keita became the champion reaper, the absolute main force of Barcelona at the peak, and the absolute hero of the glory period of the six crowns.

Sedu Keita's physical fitness is very amazing, very strong, his running ability is very good, and his interception ability is even more powerful. The most important thing is that his football awareness and foot skills are very good, which is the key to Barcelona's value of him.

Although Seydu Keita is a defensive midfielder, his skills are very comprehensive, and his defensive skills and strength are very, very powerful, which is very suitable for Barcelona.

And Sedu Keita's offensive ability is also very strong, especially he has a left-footed heavy artillery shot from a long distance. And Sedu Keita is also very comprehensive, able to play multiple positions in the frontcourt, and even a forward.

However, when he was in Barcelona, ​​​​the attacking talent in Barcelona was too much. Therefore, Sedu Keita's offensive ability is also suppressed, and the Barcelona club only needs his defense. Therefore, during the Barcelona period, Sedu Keita's defensive ability was very strong and was highly valued.

Such a player is also very much needed by Leeds United.

More importantly, the current Seydu Keita has not yet entered the Barcelona team's sight.

Sedu Keita entered Barcelona's sight after he moved to La Liga Sevilla this summer. He performed very, very well in Seville that season, and then he was valued by the Barcelona club.

After joining Sevilla for one season, Barcelona introduced Seydu Keita from Sevilla for 14 million euros. You have to know that a year ago, in the summer of 2007, Sevilla only spent 5 million euros when they introduced Seydu Keita from the French club Lens.

In just one season, Seydu Keita's worth has increased by nearly 10 million euros, which shows how powerful Seydoux Keita is, and it also shows that Seydoux Keita has matured, and it is the period when his career is at its peak.

Leeds United introduced Seydu Keita at this time, and as soon as Leeds United Club can compete with Mohamed Sissoko for the main starting position.

Therefore, Zhong Cheng attaches great importance to Saidu Keita.

Among these three people, the one Zhong Cheng hopes to introduce most is naturally Sedu Keita, followed by Mbia, and finally Marchisio. Because it is almost impossible to introduce Marchisio, the Juventus club is not stupid.

Moreover, Zhong Cheng's perverted discovery of young people's eyes recently shocked the whole world.

How could a club like Juventus let Zhong Cheng take advantage of it? This also shows that in the future, it is almost impossible for Zhong Cheng to recruit some young players in wealthy clubs.

Because these wealthy teams know that their young players are favored by Zhong Cheng, the "bole", and the future will definitely be very good. They will all choose to let this person stay, and they will definitely not sell to Leeds United. Therefore, Zhong Cheng can only go to those small teams to find good goods.

The current Marchisio is a very good Leeds. Even if Juventus can't use Marchisio now, they will definitely not sell Marchisio to Leeds United. Of course, the lease will definitely agree. Juventus will definitely want to see how Zhong Cheng uses Marchisio, and they can easily copy and use it in the future!

Therefore, Zhong Cheng did not have much hope for Marchisio.
