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

The news of Howard's transfer began to spread.

That evening.

The local evening papers in Leeds began to report news about Howard's transfer.

The next day, the sports sections of major newspapers in England all mentioned that Leeds United had received a large number of offers for Howard, including from some Premier League teams, such as West Bromwich Albion.

However, Li Shiguang, the owner of Leeds United, also made it clear in an interview.

Howard is the biggest contributor to Leeds United's excellent performance this season, and the club will not consider any offer that does not trigger his liquidated damages for the time being.

In the office of West Bromwich Albion, Bates looked at the reply on the computer with a grim face.

Li Shiguang rejected his offer.

He even turned around and broke the news in the media that West Bromwich Albion had made an offer for Howard.

But how dare he say that Leeds United only accepts offers that trigger the penalty clause! Does he think he is selling Buffon?

When Juventus took Buffon from Parma, it did cost more than 50 million euros, but that was the world's number one goalkeeper!

Li Shiguang only spent 3 million euros to buy Howard from Manchester United, and you want to sell him for 15 million euros in just 4 months.

You might as well go and rob him! I won't buy it, okay!

Thinking of this, Bates closed the website depressed and was about to have a cigar to relax.

The assistant suddenly pushed the door open and rushed in in a hurry and said, "Boss, please check the club's official website. The fans already know that we have sent an offer to Leeds United, and are now leaving messages on the website to ask about the progress of the transfer."

"Fcuk, this Li Shiguang is so shameless."

Bates knew that if he didn't buy Howard this time, he might be drowned by the fans' saliva.

Saturday, match day

Elland Road

Live commentator Ere Geddie was shouting at the top of his lungs: "Timothy! Leeds United's savior, a wonderful save, he once again held the ball firmly in his arms."

The match between Leeds United and Sunderland has come to the injury time of the second half, and the score is still 0:0.

Now 23 rounds have ended.

Leeds United is at the top of the standings with 20 wins, 3 draws and 63 points.

And the opponent of this game is Sunderland, which ranks second in the standings with a difference of 2 points.

As long as Leeds United remains unbeaten in this game, they will win the half-time championship of the English Championship this season.

Howard just made another wonderful save.

Ere Geddie can't remember how many times he has repeated the words at the top of his lungs at Elland Road this season.

After he finished his roar, he picked up the water cup beside him, took a gulp, and then stared closely at Howard who had just kicked the ball.

This week, the whole of Leeds was full of rumors that Howard might be about to transfer.

As a loyal fan of Leeds United, he certainly didn't want the club to sell Howard who was in hot form. Judging from the game situation in the first half of the season, if Howard can still maintain his form in the second half of the season, he will definitely become the most reliable guarantee for Leeds United to impact the Premier League.

Ere Geddy has made up his mind that he will definitely ask Li Shiguang after the game. If no team triggers Howard's liquidated damages, he must not be sold in the winter window.

While he was distracted, a huge cheer broke out at the scene.

Leeds United scored!

Just after Howard made a save, he immediately launched a quick counterattack with a big kick. After half a season of games, the players of Leeds United can now be said to have mastered the essence of quick counterattacks.

From Howard kicking the ball to the striker who had been waiting near the center circle receiving the ball and then shooting the ball to score, in just a few seconds, Leeds United completed a textbook counterattack.

"A wonderful counterattack, cheers! My friends! Leeds United is the half-time champion!" Ere Geddy resisted the discomfort in his throat and roared again.

Looking at the Leeds United players celebrating wildly, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

And Li Shiguang, who came to the bench to watch the game today, also heard a voice in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the task: consecutive victories! ]

[System rewards will be issued after settlement...]

..................

In the VIP box of the Hawthorn Stadium, Bates

He turned his head and looked at the big screen in the stadium, which was showing a glaring score of 0:5.

There were still more than 10 minutes left for West Bromwich Albion to finish this game. Facing the powerful Liverpool, his team had no ability to resist.

He turned his head and looked at the big screen in the stadium, which was showing a glaring score of 0:5.

In the stadium, more than 20,000 angry fans shouted "Bates, get out!", "Buy Howard, you stingy ghost!" Such voices.

He just hung up the call from his assistant and knew that Leeds United had won.

Bates knew that he had to take action. He now had to create a positive news to appease these fans who had been overwhelmed by anger.

Thinking of this, he found Li Shiguang's number from the address book and pressed it hard.

..................

Li Shiguang is very happy now. The team has achieved good results and he has completed the system's task.

Suddenly, the mobile phone in his trouser pocket vibrated wildly. Li Shiguang took it out and looked at it. He was even happier because Bates's name was displayed on the screen.

"This old guy, it seems that he can't help it." Li Shiguang pulled out a wicked smile at the corner of his mouth and answered the phone.

"Good evening, Mr. Bates." Li Shiguang took the initiative to greet him in a relaxed tone.

Hearing Li Shiguang's frivolous tone, Bates resisted the urge to throw the phone away and said: "Congratulations, Li, Leeds United has achieved good results."

Li Shiguang also responded: "Thank you, Mr. Bates, I didn't expect you to take the time to pay attention to us in your busy schedule, so may I ask, what is the matter with you calling?"

Seeing Li Shiguang so direct, Bates no longer politely said: "Yes, about Howard's transfer, I want to talk to you again."

Hehe, old guy, really turned up his mouth!

Just when the Leeds United game ended, Li Shiguang also received a call. He had already known the news that West Brom was slaughtered by Liverpool. Bates is now under great pressure.

I thought he would contact me tomorrow at the earliest, but I didn't expect that this old fox would be so impatient and call me now.

Since you can't help it, don't blame me for being ruthless.

So Li Shiguang also slowed down his speech and said slowly: "Regarding this issue, Mr. Bates, I have made it very clear in the media before. Howard is not for sale in Leeds United unless you trigger his liquidated damages."

"You are robbing! Li, you only spent 3 million to take Howard away from Manchester United, and now you want to sell him for 15 million. I can't accept this price. 13 million, this is the highest price I can offer!" Bates responded with a low roar.

It sounds like Bates is a little angry.

Li Shiguang crossed his legs comfortably and continued to add fuel to Bates' anger: "Mr. Bates, did you choose to turn a blind eye to Howard's performance on the field? In fact, before answering your call, my assistant has already reported to me that other Premier League clubs have contacted him. You should know that starting tomorrow, Howard will become a hot commodity in the winter window."

Hearing that Li Shiguang still refused to give in, Bates' face turned red and he hesitated to speak. From the expression on his face, it can be seen that he is struggling fiercely.

After a short silence, Bates' cold voice came from Li Shiguang's phone: "Tomorrow I will arrange someone to send the formal offer to Leeds United. Li, I hope that after losing Howard, Leeds United can still maintain its current performance. In addition, I have a gift for you, I hope you like it!"

After that, he hung up the phone directly.

This old man, what other gift do you want to give me?

Could it be that? ·········

Li Shiguang looked at the hung up phone and shook his head, not wanting to think about it anymore.

After all, if this deal is done, the football black shop will be officially opened!
