Football Modifier

The media and fans waited and watched and got a quick response.

On December 15, Crazy Li held a press conference at the Riggbottom training base to directly respond to the recent "Sakho incident" that has caused a lot of controversy.

That morning, more than a hundred reporters who braved the severe cold to go to the Riggbottom training base to 'step in' were lucky enough to get the opportunity to attend the press conference. However, those reporters who later received the news and rushed over after the press conference had ended, Beating my chest in frustration in the cold wind...

"...I will not force any player who wants to leave to stay in Newcastle, but since Mamadou Sakho thinks staying at St. James will make it difficult for him to breathe, it doesn't matter, he can find whatever he wants. A place where he can breathe easily!"

The above are the original words of Madman Li as reported by the Observer reporter after the press conference.

The reporter named David Chris wrote in the article——

"...Yesterday, at the beginning of the press conference, Crazy Li did not hide it at all, but went straight to the point. At least from the expression, the still smiling and extremely arrogant face seemed to be dissatisfied with the French central defender Sakho's remarks. Pao didn't care very much, or maybe he was hiding his anger... But obviously, in the heart of this crazy Chinese, no player is irreplaceable... I don't know why, I suddenly felt that maybe for Sa For Ko, a 'feat' like joining Real Madrid or Barcelona at the age of 18 only means a record. He may regret his choice today!"

The "Daily Express" used the headline "Newcastle sells rookie Mamadou Sakho for 20 million pounds" and reported in detail the scene of the press conference that day——

"...Crazy Li is willing to let Sakho leave. The Chinese's original words are: I know that many teams are interested in Sakho, if any of them are willing to pay a transfer fee of 20 million pounds for this player. , then in the first second when the door to the winter transfer market opens, it can acquire this promising French central defender..."

"Sunday Express": Newcastle has blocked the main defender, and the French super rookie is about to leave the team...

"The Sun": Obviously, the defection of the team's defensive core aroused the anger of Madman Lee. The extremely high price tag of Newcastle Club scared off many suitors. Now it seems that the career of the French super star may be Facing the first cold winter...

"The Times": Madman Li is quick to resolve the civil strife. Mamadou Sakho will be permanently transferred to the reserve team before his official transfer...

In addition to the above media, almost all newspapers of all sizes in the British Isles reported on this sensational incident——

"God on the sidelines of football is betrayed, Newcastle may fall into civil strife"

"Sacco: I don't regret what I said, it is my wish to escape the magpies"

"Alan Shearer: No one wants to see Sakho again at Newcastle..."

"The French rookie was attacked by fans and lost his front teeth, and his valuable sports car was smashed and scrapped"

"Sacco's agent Lola: This is naked persecution!" ! Newcastle is persecuting my client..."

"Revealing the reason for the conflict between Sacco and Madman Lee..."

…

"15 million? No, 20 million, not a penny less!"

Li Tongfan sat comfortably on a large swivel chair made of real mountain pigskin. Without even looking at Barcelona's offer for Sakho, he threw it back to the Catalan in front of him: "Very good." Sorry, if you want to take my players away from St. James, you must pay a transfer value that satisfies us. You must know that Sakho still has 5 years of contract time here..."

The foreigner from Barcelona in front of me shook his head...

"Li, 15 million is the limit of what we can pay. If you insist on 20 million, then we can only say goodbye..."

"Then...goodbye, I'm sorry to see you off so far!"

The Catalan stood up with a sullen look on his face and turned around to go out.

He deliberately whispered in his mouth: "Haha, you are really arrogant Chinese, then just wait until your players rot in the reserve team and stink. No one will be crazy enough to pay 2,000 for an 18-year-old central defender." Thousands of pounds..."

The sultry man smiled and said nothing.

…

"Sorry, Lao Ge, it's a friendship, but if you really want to use 10 million to take that bastard away, I can never agree... You know, I have to be responsible for the club!"

Grad seemed to have expected that the shameless guy opposite would say this, so there was no disappointment at all on his elegant face: "Haha, Li, I already knew that a cunning guy like you would say this... …But fortunately, I am only responsible for bringing Mr. Florentino’s words to you, and you can talk about the rest yourself…”

Li Tongfan breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, Lao Li really didn't expect that it would be his old partner Grede who came to discuss Sakho's transfer on behalf of Real Madrid.

If Grad really wants to show off his old friendship and insist on lowering the price, then he may have to buy some face for Lao Ge. After all, Li Tongfan's "first season" as coach was guided by this elegant Spanish man in front of him. of.

Although after that 'mythical season', people added all the halo and honors to themselves, Lao Li himself understood deeply that at the beginning, if there was not Grade, who was both a teacher and a friend, he might not be able to succeed in his career. I had already caused Real Madrid to lose several games before I really understood what a head coach should do...

That night, Li Tongfan Sheng forcefully took this 'guest' from Madrid, Spain, to his home. Ronaldo, Marcelo, Mata and others all accompanied him. The men drank and howled all night long...

…

During this period of time, the media has never stopped reporting on Sakho. News about teams bidding for this emerging French central defender has repeatedly appeared in the newspapers——

"Barcelona's £15m bid for Sakho rejected"

"Real Madrid's £10m bid rejected"

"Inter Milan has made inquiries to Newcastle regarding the transfer of Sakho"

"AC Milan wants to loan out Sakho, who is frustrated at Newcastle"

"Chelsea looking for Carvalho's successor!" 》

"Ferguson interested in bringing Evra's compatriot to Old Trafford"

Mamadou Sakho, who is bombarding the coach, seems to have become a hot commodity. Even many teams in the Premier League are interested in the central defender, but no one has actually made an offer of 20 million pounds...

At nine o'clock on a certain day, a French uncle with a well-maintained skin and tender flesh has become an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth like a mechanical puppet on a clockwork...

Jingle Bell……

The phone rings.

The Frenchman picked it up and took a look, and was overjoyed: "Hello, Mr. Dolotana? Regarding Sakho's transfer..."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lola, we have given enough sincerity, but if you and your players cannot convince Crazy Li to accept the transfer fee of 15 million pounds, we will have to give up..."

"Wait, can we...hey...hey?

Quareos Lola wanted to say something else, but the other party hung up the call directly before he could finish speaking.

Quareos lamented that Barcelona withdrew from the acquisition, which was really huge bad news for him and Sakho.

This must be what the damn Chinese did on purpose!

Quareos was furious to death when he heard Madman Li's arrogant face. He did not expect that the crazy Chinese would adopt such a lose-lose method... However, Quareos would never give in like this...

Because there are still many clubs interested in Sakho.

At this time, the phone kept ringing——

"Mr. Lola, we have decided to temporarily stop the acquisition of Mamadou Sakho. Newcastle's price has exceeded the limit we can bear..."

This is the voice of Valdano, the general manager of Real Madrid.

"...We are sincere in bringing in Sakho, but we hope you can cooperate with us in putting pressure on Newcastle to lower Sakho's transfer fee to about 12 million..."

This is the voice of Gula Daneh, head of Bayern Munich's transfer department.

"...We have decided to withdraw our interest in acquiring Sacco."

It's Seville.

"Feel sorry……"

It's Manchester United.

"Shit! It's all bullshit! Go to hell!"

This time, it was Quareos-Lola himself. The Frenchman slammed his cell phone against the opposite wall, shattering it to pieces.

"... This cannot continue like this. We must find another way to put pressure on Crazy Li. Otherwise, with a transfer fee of 20 million, no club will be willing to work hard to bring in Sakho!"

…

On December 15, the 17th round of the Premier League started.

J** Stadium.

"...Newcastle's away game against Wigan Athletic has begun. The visiting team Newcastle took the lead...Recently, Newcastle has received widespread attention from European football because of its internal player Mamadou Sakho. This 18-year-old French player He became famous in one fell swoop because of his criticism of coach Crazy Li. It is said that Crazy Li has blocked him. Judging from the starting list of this game, as expected, Mamadou Sakho, who had been the team's main center back, did not even start. He didn’t even make it to the big list... Crazy Li is indeed an iron commander who manages the army with iron blood!”

The commentator talked eloquently and expressed emotion.

Wigan Athletic, who had the home advantage, gave it a try, while Newcastle did not retreat at all because of the glory of being first in the standings. The two teams played offensive football, and the scene was full of sparks...

The game was carried out nervously in an anxious atmosphere.

"...Newcastle not only lost their central defender, but they have also been messed up recently because of the Sakho incident. Now it seems that although Crazy Lee decisively excluded Sakho from the first team, the morale of the team is not very high. They Behind the home team Wigan Athletic in terms of field advantage..."

Before the commentator finished speaking, a sky-shattering cheer came from the J** Stadium.

Wigan Athletic scored.

"...G——O——A——L!!! The goal was Hugo Rodariega! The Mexican forward has scored 5 goals for the team this season and is Wigan Athletic's number one Shooter! He received the through ball from his teammate Jordi and used his amazing speed to successfully counter the offside and score a single goal!"

"... Looking at this ball, Newcastle's new central defender combination really has a problem. Manzianni and Steven Taylor made mistakes in the cooperation... In the 24th minute of the game, the home team Wigan Athletic took the lead... 1 :0!”

Wigan Athletic actually took the lead?

This surprised many people. Is Newcastle really affected by the 'Sakho incident' and its combat effectiveness has declined? Many head coaches of Premier League teams felt secretly happy when they saw this scene...

And Quareos Lola, who was also paying close attention to this game, was even more ecstatic, rolling back and forth on the sofa in front of the TV excitedly: Great, without Sakho, the central defender really has no problems, as long as Newcastle If they lose this game, doesn't it mean that they can't do without Sakho?

In this way, he can change from passive to active in the next tug-of-war!

J** Stadium.

After being scored first by the opponent, Newcastle launched a crazy counterattack.

Wigan Athletic, on the other hand, under the command of head coach Jewell, gave up the offensive since the beginning and defended across the board. They wanted to use the iron barrel formation to hold on to a one-goal advantage and win an epic victory. …

Although it is extremely difficult to defeat Crazy Li, it is like a fatal poppy for every head coach, exuding an irresistible temptation...

but……

75th minute.

"...Ronaldo...Ronaldo...Ronaldo!!! YES!!! He did a fatal dance in the penalty area! It's incredible...It's incredible, in such a dense crowd, he dribbled continuously after dribbling A very sudden kick from the foot that beat Wigan Athletic goalkeeper Colerain's goal..."

"GOOOOOOOOOAL!!! Newcastle equalized the score. They did it. There are less than 20 minutes left before the end of the game. Can they score the go-ahead goal and maintain their unbeatable record?"

The fans at the J** Stadium fell into a period of time where seconds seemed like years and their hearts were beating with fear.

In the 84th minute, Alan Smith shot a long shot from outside the penalty area, and the football flew off the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line. Wigan Athletic fans screamed in exclamation...

In the 88th minute, Owen received a header from Juan Mata's corner kick and missed it by a hair...

In the 90th minute, Juan Mata took a free kick near the arc of the penalty area. After a wonderful arc, Newcastle once again missed the goal...

"...The fourth official played the electronic card of injury time..."

"Oh oh oh oh, there is only 1 minute of stoppage time. This time Newcastle is really hanging on. They need to score within 60 seconds to continue their unbeaten record, and the 11 players of their opponent Wigan Athletic are almost Everyone will be within our restricted area and defend with all our strength!”

time flies.

Although it was just a draw, Wigan Athletic people were already satisfied. How many wealthy and famous coaches had no choice but to get Crazy Li. Now it seems that they can break this myth...

"Ten...nine...eight...seven..."

The crowd in the stands was thunderous, and the home team fans were counting down the seconds for their miracle.

In front of the TV, Quareos had already opened a glass of fine red wine with a smile on his face, poured himself a nice glass, and waited for the referee to blow the whistle before toasting in celebration!

Although Newcastle did not lose the game as he had best imagined, a draw was enough to illustrate the problem!

Now that Newcastle cannot win without Sakho, doesn't this just illustrate Sakho's ability and importance? And Crazy Li's stubbornness prevented the Magpies from winning. This hat, once put on it, was enough for him to drink a pot...

Quareos-Lola smiled proudly.

But soon, he stopped laughing. He rolled his eyes and stared straight at the TV, like a goldfish fished out of the water, with its cheeks puffed out and struggling for death...

because--

"... GOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!! Something even more incredible happened. At the last second of the game, midfielder Alan Smith scored a ground-breaking direct free kick!"

"...Newcastle's direct free kicks are usually taken by Juan Mata or Pastore, but this time they deceived Wigan Athletic, Juan Mata feinted a shot, and Alan Smith closed in Following the brute force, the football tore through Wigan Athletic's defense like lightning..."

"2:1!!! The Magpies overtook the score. In the last second of the game, Newcastle killed the miracle. J** Stadium was counting down loudly just now, but now it is silent..."

force--

The referee blew the whistle immediately after Alan Smith scored and ended the game.

Wigan Athletic goalkeeper Colerain surprisingly ran to the sidelines and hugged Lee Tongbeom.

He was thanking Lao Li for recruiting him into the national team after coaching the Three Lions and fulfilling his 'international football dream'. Although he did not get the chance to participate in the European Cup, Jiaochlan was already very satisfied...

…

The next morning.

Rigbotton training base.

Quareos showed up in the head coach's office with a smile on his face.

Although he had just broken up with Li Tongfan not long ago, and hid behind his back and said a lot of bad things about Lao Li to the media... However, for an agent like him, shame is something that has long been lost. Where did it go.

As long as there is enough money, he is even willing to kneel down and hug a stray dog ​​and call it his father...

"Li, look, I think there should be room for discussion between us about the matter of Sakho... After all, if things get too awkward, it will not be a good thing for both of us..."

Quareos tried to make his tone more tactful.

To be honest, he is really afraid of this madman in front of him. This method of mutual loss, on the one hand, marked an absurdly high price, on the other hand, ruthlessly banned Sakho at the cost of ruining the team's record...This move is really too good!

"Oh?"

Li Tongfan looked up at the Frenchman who was still alive and kicking a few days ago, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Lola, I only have less than three minutes to listen to you now, so tell me, is there any room for discussion between us?"

Damn it!

Quareos-Lola suppressed the anger in his heart and quickly began to organize himself in his brain. If he couldn't convince this madman within three minutes, Sarko would be finished...

Apologize to the brothers again!

I'm sorry.
