Episode [307]: The Poacher Appears Again

Sending away Sun Jihai is equivalent to sending away Zhang Ningpeng and Wu Lei.

Zhang Ningpeng is only 18 years old now, but he has already played in the Chinese League Two for one season, and this season he has also become the main player of Yunhai East Asia Club, playing in the Chinese League Two.

If Zhong Cheng remembers correctly, after the end of this season, Yunhai East Asia will win the Chinese League Two Championship and be promoted to the Chinese League One.

And next year, Zhang Ningpeng will take up the position of the main defensive midfielder, and also played as a full-back for a while. Finally, in the second half of the season, he will officially become the team's main central defender, the anchor of the team's defense, and also serve as the team's vice-captain.

At this time, he showed strength beyond ordinary people.

Moreover, the most important thing is that this young man is very hardworking, often giving himself additional training, exercising his skills and body, especially for physical exercise.

To be honest, although Zhang Ningpeng's physical fitness was good when he was young, he was not much better than his peers. But since the end of 2008, Zhang Ningpeng's body has been very strong, much higher than his peers, and he is simply a crushing existence.

This is the result of Zhang Ningpeng's continuous physical training!

This is a person who has a clear goal and knows how to work hard. His self-control is very strong, and he is a very good seed. If he had been properly guided since he was a child and allowed to come to Europe for training earlier, Zhang Ningpeng's future would definitely be much higher than he remembered.

To be honest, Zhong Cheng originally rewarded Zhang Ningpeng for bringing Leeds United's ideas.

Even, Zhong Cheng once wanted to buy a small club and build it into an internal satellite club of Leeds United, specializing in training some young players with potential who are very difficult to obtain labor certification.

Originally, Zhong Cheng planned to get Zhang Ningpeng to Leeds United, and then loan him to Genk Club in Belgium, so that Zhang Ningpeng could grow up in the League One for two or three years.

However, at this time, Sun Jihai came to the door, and Zhong Cheng had no choice.

Also, Wu Lei is also a very talented player.

Xu Genbao, the owner of the Chongming Island base in Yunhai, once said this: "The construction of the Chongming Island base cost me 30 million yuan, and a military base can allow me to recover all my investment. He is China's Maradona!"

Wu Lei is really very talented. He was born in November 1991. He is only 15 years old now, and he will not turn 16 in a few months. But he is now a professional player, and he has already played for the Yunhai East Asia Club in the Chinese League Two.

When Wu Lei made his debut in the Chinese League Two, he was only 14 years and 10 months old, setting a record for the youngest player to play in a Chinese professional league.

And in 2004, Wu Lei participated in the AFC U14 Divisional Competition. He scored six goals in the game, helping China's U14 beat Japan and South Korea to win the championship.

In the future, Wu Lei won the top scorer in the Chinese League One, helped the team upgrade to the Chinese Super League, and won the title of the local top scorer in the Chinese Super League for several consecutive years. In the future, he may have the title of invulnerability to the emperor alone, but his scoring ability is still good.

If Wu Lei can really solve his ability to play a one-handed ball, he can definitely compete with those star foreign players for the honor of being the top scorer in the Chinese Super League.

Moreover, in Zhong Cheng's memory, Wu Lei has attracted the attention of European clubs many times. Solskjaer, the famous Manchester United team, has repeatedly claimed that Wu Lei is a talented player.

Solskjaer has repeatedly asked Yunhai East Asia to buy Wulei, and even offered 1.5 million euros, but Yunhai East Asia has no choice to let him go. Because there is still a big difference between this and Mr. Xu Genbao's 30 million yuan, Wu Lei can only waste his talent in the Chinese League in the end.

Many people have done fake shots. If Wu Lei left Yunhai Dongya and became Solskjaer's disciple and accepted Solskjaer's training, what would Wu Lei look like in the end? At least, Wu Lei's scoring ability will be improved a lot, after all, this is what Solskjaer is good at.

Some even claimed that Solskjaer wanted to train Wu Lei as his successor.

Of course, this is just speculation by many people, but Wu Lei has indeed missed a very good opportunity to study abroad!

Now Zhong Cheng is also very clear that if he wants to take away Wu Lei, he will have to pay a very high price.

Mr. Xu Genbao is a very principled and standpointed person. If you really bid less than 30 million RMB, they really won't let you take away Wu Lei.

Therefore, Zhong Cheng basically gave up Wu Lei.

However, since Sun Jihai came to the door, let's push this guy to the Manchester City team and see what the Manchester City team does. Will it cost 3 million euros to introduce a young Chinese player who is only 15 years old?

After sending Sun Jihai away, Zhong Cheng didn't care about these anymore!

However, not long after seeing off Sun Jihai, Lao Zhongtou did come to Leeds United.

When Lao Zhong entered the office, he scolded Zhong Cheng directly, saying that Zhong Cheng was a prodigal. You have these players, why would you recommend them to Manchester City and not to Leyton Orient? Leiden Oriental is naturally still the property of the Zhong family, and the property of Zhong Yao!

You, a brother, don't help your sister?

Zhong Cheng was really speechless, he really didn't know where the old clock got the news, and he came to Leeds United so quickly.

Zhong Cheng said directly: "Leyton Orient don't need these players, because they are from China, and they can't get labor certificates now. And even if they are allowed to play for other teams in Europe for three years, they can't get a second nationality, because China doesn't have multiple nationalities! Therefore, there are only two ways for them to get labor certificates, one is the special talent regulations, and the other is the rigid regulations of labor certificates!"

Old Zhongtou's brows were also tightly frowned, what Zhong Cheng said made a lot of sense.

Zhong Cheng continued: "These two are very difficult things for Chinese players. Therefore, although these two players are very talented, they will not be able to join Leyton Orient for a while, but the future is not impossible. Maybe when you Leighton Orient upgrade to the Premier League, you may be able to introduce them!"

Leyton Orient's fastest upgrade to the Premier League will be two years later, that is, the 2009-2010 season. In that season, Zhang Ningpeng may be able to obtain the Premier League labor certificate, because at that time Zhang Ningpeng should be able to enter the Chinese men's national football team and reach a certain amount of playing time.

Hearing what Zhong Cheng said, Lao Zhong had no choice but to let Zhong Cheng go.

Zhong Cheng was very speechless, and immediately asked: "Old Zhong, what do you want to do when you come to our Leeds United this time?"

Old Zhongtou said unequivocally, "Of course I hope to bring in players, how about this. Loan De Bruyne and Hazard from your club to us. We will loan them for two seasons. After two seasons, they will return to your Leeds United!"

Zhong Cheng's eyes widened in an instant, I'll go, Lao Zhong, your heart is not small!

Hazard and De Bruyne are the treasures of Leeds United. This is the cornerstone of the future of Leeds United. How could Zhong Cheng loan these two to Leyton Orient?

Zhong Cheng shook his head directly, and said: "These are all the damn bastard Brandan who instigated you to come here!"

Old Zhongtou waved his hand directly and said: "Don't worry about who started this matter, you can just say whether you rent it or not!"

Zhong Cheng glanced at the old clock, and then said: "Leeds United is very optimistic about these two young people. I hope they can stay in the Premier League and adapt to the Premier League earlier. After a season or two, they will be able to play for the first team of Leeds United, and even secure their main position. Going to League One will hardly help them. I don't want them to waste time in League One!"

Old Zhongtou immediately said: "What they need at this age is competition, not accumulation of experience on the bench. I think you should send them out and let them hone their guns for a while. It's like shooting a gun. You keep letting them watch from the sidelines. Even if you watch the Olympic champion shoot for ten years, if they don't go up to touch the gun or go up and shoot twice, they are still useless and don't understand anything!"

Zhong Cheng frowned slightly, he naturally knew this.

Zhong Cheng said: "With us, they still have the League Cup and the FA Cup to play. They can watch, learn and practice at the same time!"

The old clock interrupted Zhong Cheng with a wave of his hand and said, "How many games can they play in that season? After going to our Leyton Orient, they will play at least 30 to 40 games a season. Is this what your Leeds United can give? Hurry up and loan these two guys to us!"

Hearing this, Zhong Cheng was a little moved to be honest!

However, Zhong Cheng felt that this was a bit of an overkill. Boys who are only 15 or 16 years old play the main force in the adult team. Will this affect their growth and cause any unexpected damage to their bodies?

Old Zhongtou saw Zhong Cheng's worry, and said directly: "How can you grow without going through wind and rain? They will always go through these situations. If you go through it earlier, you will have more time to adapt. I think it's good!"

To be honest, Zhong Cheng was persuaded by Lao Zhongtou.

However, Zhong Cheng did not immediately agree!

Zhong Cheng said: "Hug like this, Comrade Zhong. I'll call these two little ones over, and let's ask them what they mean. Let's see how they choose. If they choose to go with you, they will loan you Leyton Orient for a season, but you must ensure that they will play at least 30 games without injuries. If they can't, then they might as well stay in our Leeds United team!"

Old Zhongtou immediately said: "Don't worry, Brandan is very optimistic about these two boys!"

Zhong Cheng also said: "If neither of these two people is willing to go to your Leiden Oriental, then forget about it!"

Old Zhong nodded slightly and said: "A twisted melon is not sweet, I know it!"

Then Zhong Cheng called Hazard and De Bruyne to the chairman's office, and Zhong Cheng explained the matter clearly in front of the old clock. Staying at Leeds United, they also have the opportunity to play, but there should not be many opportunities, that is, sporadic playing time in the League Cup and FA Cup, but after going to Leyton Orient, although it is League One, their playing time will reach more than 30 games.

After all, League One is also a professional league, and the level is still very high, at least much higher than that of the reserve team or the youth team.

After Zhong Cheng explained these things clearly, he didn't say anything more, and let the two of them think for themselves and make their own choices.
