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

The new season is coming.

After 11 rounds of Premier League games, the standings have changed significantly.

Chelsea, which has won nine games in a row, and Charlton, which has also won recently, occupy the top two spots in the standings with 28 points and 22 points respectively, while Manchester United is 1 point behind Charlton and ranks third.

Leeds United, which was previously ranked fourth, fell to 11th place with 13 points, relying only on goal difference to suppress Liverpool, which also has 13 points. Just in front of them is Arsenal, which ranks ninth with 16 points.

In the first issue of November, The Times used the title "Lee's Time is No Longer Magical; Leeds United Returns to Mediocre" to describe Leeds United's performance throughout October.

The article reads: "Throughout October, a large number of injuries made it difficult for Leeds United to make any progress in the league. They only scored 5 points in the league. The intensive schedule arranged by the English Football Association made this young guard with extremely weak bench suffer. As the soul of Leeds United, head coach Li Shiguang seemed powerless in the face of such large-scale injuries... The Premier League schedule is not even halfway through. If Leeds United does not make a lot of reinforcements after the winter window opens, then in the second half of the season, the probability of their complete collapse will greatly increase, and Li Shiguang's goal of reaching the top four this season will become a joke!"

Li Shiguang also saw this report. It was a long analysis of Leeds United, and only the point that Leeds United strengthened in the winter window was recognized by Li Shiguang. As for the rest, he thought it was nonsense!

Although there were many criticisms of Leeds United during this period, the system has been showing a normal team status, letting Li Shiguang know that his players were not actually affected too much.

Moreover, as the main players gradually recover from injuries, even if they have to face three strong teams, Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham, in November, Li Shiguang also believes that Leeds United has the strength to fight.

If Leeds United's ranking decline is caused by the team's large-scale injuries.

Then Liverpool and Arsenal's current ranking is purely due to their mysterious game status.

In the Champions League, both teams have not tasted a defeat, and Arsenal has won 3 games and ranked first in the group, but in the league, Arsenal only achieved 5 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses in the first 11 rounds.

Liverpool is even more outrageous. Just at the beginning of October, Chelsea scored 4 goals at Anfield. The current record is 4 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses.

As the winter transfer period is getting closer, not only Li Shiguang, but other teams that need to strengthen their lineups have gradually begun to take action.

Early on Tuesday morning, Lina brought Li Shiguang the offer from Liverpool.

The new European champions introduced stars such as Reina and Crouch to enrich the lineup in the summer, but after the start of the league, they were not strong on both offense and defense. After 11 rounds of games, they only scored 8 goals in total, and conceded two more goals than they scored.

So after losing to Fulham before, Benítez proposed the idea of ​​recruiting players to the management, and among the players he was interested in were Chiellini and Deisler from Leeds United.

After Chiellini came to Leeds United, his performance has been very stable. He and Kompany, the young central defender combination, only conceded 6 goals in the first 11 rounds of the league, and Chiellini's strong air control ability, frontal physical confrontation ability, and excellent defense and position awareness are exactly what Liverpool needs now.

As for Deisler, people use "welcoming a new life" to describe his performance in Leeds United during this period. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that as long as Deisler is on the court, almost 80% of Leeds United's goals have him. In just over two months, Deisler has scored 1 goal and 6 assists.

Liverpool's offer for Chiellini was 5 million euros, and Deisler's was 9 million euros.

Both offers were far below Li Shiguang's psychological price, so he didn't think much and directly asked Lina to reject Liverpool's offer.

But Liverpool responded quickly. In the afternoon, Li Shiguang received a call from Liverpool's owner David Moores. Li Shiguang was quite surprised. He didn't expect that the old man was still impatient. He just rejected Liverpool's offer in the morning, and he called in the afternoon.

Before the start of the season, when the Premier League Committee was meeting, Li Shiguang and David Moores met once, and they just chatted for a few words at that time.

, leaving each other business cards.

After the call was connected, Morse simply talked about the past with Li Shiguang, and then went straight to the point.

"Mr. Li, I believe you must know the purpose of my call, so I won't talk nonsense with you. I want to know the most real thoughts of Leeds United on the sale of Deisler and Chiellini!"

In fact, Li Shiguang is not in a hurry to sell players, unless you pay too much!

Now Leeds United can basically make a net profit of 3-4 million euros per month. After Kappa announced the renewal of its contract with Leeds United last week, several companies have also taken the initiative to propose to become Leeds United sponsors. Allen has been busy with this matter recently.

So Li Shiguang didn't think too much and replied directly: "Mr. Morse, to be honest, we have no plans to sell any player for the time being, let alone Deisler and Chiellini, the two absolute main players. To be honest, before I answered your call, I was still planning to strengthen the team in winter."

Moors didn't believe a word of what Li Shiguang said. He specifically learned about Li Shiguang's history of success. Since he took over Leeds United, there has been no transfer window without selling players, and almost all the heroes who won the team's championship at the end of last season were sold at a high price. Now you tell me that you don't want to sell players, it's impossible!

So he said directly: "Mr. Li, let me put it another way. How much does Leeds United want to sell these two players? Give me a psychological price. If we think it is acceptable, we can continue to discuss this topic."

Hearing Morse's question, Li Shiguang exclaimed in his heart, "What a guy!" He is worthy of being a capitalist who has been struggling in the Premier League for more than ten years. He directly guessed what he was thinking.

Li Shiguang also knew that Liverpool's recent poor league performance had indeed put a lot of pressure on the club's top management. Otherwise, with Moore's rich experience in football, he would definitely not ask such a direct question. But after all, it was a business negotiation, and Li Shiguang would not hand over the initiative to the other party.

So, he asked back: "So, Mr. Moore, how much do you think it will cost to bring them to Anfield?"
