Football: Rebirth 04, I Create a Black Shop in Football

The English football world was crazy in the first half of June. After the English Football Association confirmed at the beginning of the month that the transfer window would officially open on June 14, new transfer news was revealed by the media every day. However, in this lively atmosphere, Li Shiguang secretly ran to Munich alone. Except for several players who had already negotiated the intention contract, almost all the other players he planned to buy in the summer window were settled in the first half of the month. Even Ribery, who was already a free agent, and Vardy, who was on trial with an unknown low-level team, had met Li Shiguang in Leeds. Now Li Shiguang's transfer target is only Lahm. Last week, Leeds United sent a 7 million euro offer to Bayern Munich. In fact, Bayern had loaned Lahm to Stuttgart for two years before, and he just returned to the club after the loan period expired this year. Bayern Munich's current main left back is the French veteran Lizarazu. Lahm is only Lizarazu's substitute in the plan for next season, so Bayern is not opposed to Leeds United's purchase.

But the problem lies with the player himself. Lahm is unwilling to leave Bayern Munich!

In fact, Li Shiguang has also thought about this. After all, in his memory, Lahm's entire career has been spent in Bayern Munich. Only these two years have he been loaned out by Bayern. He can be regarded as a model of loyalty among players.

So after learning that Lahm himself was unwilling to leave, Li Shiguang thought again and again and decided to come to Munich in person to talk to Lahm.

After making an appointment with Lahm's agent, Li Shiguang finally met this big boy who looked very shy in a cafe on Sebena Street.

In fact, when Lahm's agent notified him immediately when he received the offer from Leeds United, Lahm was actually a little moved when he first received the news.

He is very clear about his situation. Although Lizarazu has entered the end of his career, his rich game experience and skills are still incomparable to his current self, so even if he stays in Bayern next season, he will most likely be his substitute. If Leeds United wants to rent him, he will definitely agree immediately, but now he wants to transfer directly, which makes him entangled.

But this morning, the agent said that Li Shiguang, the owner and head coach of Leeds United, has come to Munich and wants to meet him for a talk. This surprised Ram. He didn't expect that the owner of a club would come to Munich for a young and unknown player. Out of courtesy, Ram agreed to Li Shiguang's request.

So there is this scene now.

Before coming, Ram heard from the agent that the owner of Leeds United is also a young man, but seeing Li Shiguang just now still surprised Ram. He didn't expect that the club owner in front of him, who looked amiable, actually looked only a few years older than himself, which made Ram's uneasy heart a little relieved.

"Good afternoon, Philip, I am the owner and head coach of Leeds United, Li Shiguang." He poured a glass of water for Lahm first, and then Li Shiguang introduced himself.

Hearing Li Shiguang take the initiative to greet him, Lahm, who was holding the water cup and preparing to take a sip, quickly put down the water cup and responded: "Hello, Mr. Li, I am Philip Lahm, and I am glad to meet you."

Li Shiguang looked at Lahm who was still a little nervous in front of him, and smiled and comforted him: "Don't be nervous, Philip, I am not a few years older than you, I believe we will get along well."

Seeing that Li Shiguang did not have the airs of a club owner, Lahm gradually relaxed, holding the water cup and carefully listening to Li Shiguang's introduction to Leeds United and the conception of the lineup for next season.

When Lahm heard Li Shiguang say that he would be the main left back in his lineup, his eyes suddenly lit up and he interrupted Li Shiguang in a puzzled tone: "You just said that I would be the main left back of Leeds United?"

Hearing Lahm's question, Li Shiguang said as if it was natural: "Of course, didn't your agent tell you? Since I made an offer to Bayern Munich, you have been in my main lineup plan."

Before Lahm came, his agent did not use Li Shiguang's promise to kidnap him, considering that he had deep feelings for Bayern, but wanted him to make a decision after hearing the news from Li Shiguang.

Now, after hearing Li Shiguang answer his question in an affirmative tone, Lahm's heart

He wavered again. Although he had deep feelings for Bayern, he was already 22 years old and had to consider his future. If he could play enough games at Leeds United, he would actually be willing to go.

Seeing that Lahm was moved, Li Shiguang also used his trump card: "Moreover, at Leeds United, except for Captain Milner, the first contract of all players is only 3 years. If you don't want to stay in Leeds United after 3 years, you can return to Bayern as a free agent. I will never stop you."

This sentence made Lahm completely determined. He smiled and stretched out his right hand and said, "Okay, coach, thank you for your invitation. I agree to join Leeds United."

····

After dealing with Lahm, Li Shiguang rushed back to Leeds without stopping, because the Premier League summer transfer window would officially open in a few days.

Early in the morning of June 14.

The two news updated on the official website of Leeds United fired the first shot of England's summer transfer.

"Sneijder transfers to Real Madrid for 28 million euros"

"Adebayor transfers to Arsenal for 29 million euros"

Although the news that Leeds United's main players were snapped up in the summer transfer window was widely circulated, since Li Shiguang and the club's staff never responded directly, these news were just rumors.

The two news updated on the official website today completely made the media and Leeds United fans explode.

The media that were still praising Li Shiguang a month ago showed their fickle side again.

"Proud and arrogant Li Shiguang"

"Letting go of the meritorious players, Leeds United is in a worrying situation in the new season"

"The odds of Leeds United being relegated again in the new season are ranked last"

"Is Leeds United satisfied with just one English Championship title? "

"Interview with Leeds United fans: worried about the current situation of the club"

In many evening newspapers, various news criticizing Li Shiguang began to appear.

Just when everyone was collectively condemning Li Shiguang, The Sun published an even more explosive news.

The title of the news was "Exclusive Interview with Ferguson: Manchester United is very eager to sign Tevez, and has already made an offer before the end of the season, but is now in the negotiation stage and has not made any substantial progress."

This made the already somewhat panicked hearts of Leeds United fans who saw this news fall to the bottom.

Could it be that the magical young boss is still going to sell Tevez? Does he want to give up Leeds United?
