Proud Founder

Chapter 42

Leeds United offered Albertini a weekly salary of £10,000, which is currently the highest salary in Leeds United, and Albertini's annual salary is about £600,000, which is a lot different from Albertini's previous contract of 1.2 million euros.

But Zhong Cheng assured Albertini that as long as the team is promoted next year, the team will raise the salary with all the players in the team, and Albertini's salary will increase by a part next year.

And now Albertini is still interested in the opportunity to play, and he is more interested in the three-year contract offered to him by Leeds United, after all, he will be 35 years old in three years.

Albertini knows that the manager of the Premier League Arsenal team, Arsene Wenger, gives veterans over the age of 30 a year, no matter who you are, no matter how brilliant your previous experience is, all of them are signed once a year. Leeds were able to offer him a three-year contract at this time, and he could feel the surging sincerity from Leeds United.

Albertini was also worried about whether he would fit in with the style of English football, as it seems that the Italians did not mix well in England before.

Zhong Cheng immediately used the likes of Zola and Vialli to dispel Albertini's concerns, Zola is the best foreign player in Chelsea's history, and he is also closely behind King Eric Cantona in the Premier League's selection of the best foreign player of the decade.

After all his concerns were dispelled, Albertini officially agreed to join Leeds United.

The next morning, Leeds United's official website updated their transfer news, and an Italian man with curly hair and Zhong Cheng stood in front of a backboard full of Leeds United's crest, holding Leeds United's white No.4 shirt.

And under this picture, there is such a sentence: "Warmly welcome Italian master midfielder Dmitrio Albertini to Leeds United, I hope Demi will usher in new glory in

Leeds United!" As soon as the news came out, Leeds United's official website was instantly popular, and countless fans were amazed and browsed the news. It's really Demitrio Albertini, one of the four hottest midfielders of the 90s.

Many Leeds United fans are very excited, and the news is exciting, although this time Leeds United is still visa-free, and it is still visa-free. But this is

Albertini, Albertini! But there are more opponents, what about

Albertini? There are not many examples of Italians succeeding in England, how many Italians have come to England to work hard over the years, how many Italian stars have come here, but how many have really succeeded? Who can guarantee that Albertini will succeed?

And the main thing is that Albertini is thirty-two years old, he is not young anymore, such a person comes to Leeds United is obviously more like a pensioner, such a player comes to Leeds United for a fart. Albertini is here to make money, to dig the foundation of Leeds United.

Obviously, Albertini was implicated by Zhong Cheng, if the chairman and manager of Leeds United were not Zhong Cheng at this time, the fans of Leeds United would definitely applaud collectively and welcome Albertini's arrival, but because Albertini was loyal, he was also subjected to endless criticism.

Albertini, however, was not angry, and these became his reasons for fighting. A year later, he would all sarcastically lower their heads and kowtow to his people.

In

the afternoon, Zhong Cheng led Albertini to Leeds United's training ground to meet his future team-mates.

The young players at Leeds United are all very excited, and this is Albertini.

Bendtner, Las Diarra, Modric and others thought that Albertini had cast adoring eyes, and they felt happy to be able to play with such a superstar.

Modric and others wanted to pounce on Albertini and get up close, but they were afraid of causing Albertini's dissatisfaction, so they were timid.

Still, Ribery stood to the side, his eyes fixed on Albertini.

Ribery did not pursue Albertini, in Ribery's eyes, Albertini was successful and great, but he did not pursue and envy, because he firmly believed that he would become such a person in the future.

Ribery clenched his fists and roared in his heart: "I, Ribery, must succeed, must become a more successful man than

Albertini, must!" Looking at the group of emotional young men under him, Zhong Cheng smiled slightly and introduced Albertini to them: "That's right, this is your new teammate Demy, I hope you can get along well in the future."

Bendtini immediately stepped forward, came to Albertini's side, and said excitedly: "Hello Demy, I like you, I really didn't expect me to be teammates

with you!" Albertini looked at the young man in front of him, he showed a warm smile, and said: "It's a pleasure to be a teammate with you, little one!" Seeing Albertini

talking to himself, Bendtini jumped for joy.

When the other boys saw Bendtner pounce, Albertini was not angry, but was very approachable, and the little guys immediately surrounded him.

Zhong Cheng smiled slightly bitterly, coughed and said, "Okay, okay! This is not Demy's fan meeting, you all be honest, remember that you are players, give me good training, you know?"

The little guys of Leeds United immediately stopped, one by one very serious, and turned to train.

Albertini was interested, glanced at Zhong Cheng, they didn't expect Zhong Cheng to have such a great prestige among this group of players, after all, Zhong Cheng is only 22 years old, very young

! Zhong Cheng suddenly shouted: "Luca, you stay!"

Modric looked at Zhong Cheng suspiciously, but he still stayed!

Zhong Cheng brought Modric to Albertini's side and said to Albertini: " Demy, this is Luka, a very talented midfielder, I hope you can teach him well,"

Modric was very excited as he listened to Zhong Cheng's words.

Albertini glanced at the very immature little guy in front of him, he was also slightly surprised, he didn't expect that the person Zhong Cheng was extremely optimistic about turned out to be the child in front of him.

Albertini saw the longing in Modric's eyes, Albertini nodded and said, "Don't worry, boss." I won't let you down!"

Modric jumped in surprise as well.

Zhong Cheng gave Modric a blank look, and scolded him seriously: "You give me a serious look, if you let me know that you kid is not good at learning, see how I clean you up!"

Modric said very excitedly: "Don't worry, boss! I will definitely study hard, and I will definitely learn all the skills of the master!" Seeing Modric's

excited appearance, Zhong Cheng and Albertini looked at each other and smiled.

━━━ Dividing Line ━━━

On the same day that Albertini joined Leeds United, a little later, Leeds United's official website was updated with the news that Leeds United had spent £2 million to bring in Croatian international striker Olic from CSKA Moscow in Russia.

Ivika Olic was born on 14 September 1979 in Davor, Croatia, and initially played for a small club in Croatia before joining Hertha Berlin in the Bundesliga in 1998 at the age of 19.

But Hertha Berlin was a nightmare for him, because he had only been here for half a year, only played two games and failed to score a goal, and he himself thought he was going to hell.

He then returned to Croatia, where he returned to his old club, where he rose to fame at a young age, and two years later joined domestic giants Dinamo Zagreb, where his career progressed by leaps and bounds, becoming the league's top scorer that year, and making it to the Croatian national team for the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan.

After that, he was a regular regular member of the Croatian national team, and then last year he moved to Russian giants CSKA Moscow for a fee of 5 million euros.

However, he did not perform very well in CSKA Moscow this season, and at this time, Leeds United approached CSKA Moscow.

This product is Zhong Cheng's favor, Olic has speed, and is very positive, running tirelessly in the front, and the anti-robbery awareness is very good, which is very suitable for Zhong Cheng's current tactics.

Zhong Cheng also knows that a few years later, when Olic left CSKA Moscow, he transferred to Hamburg for 2 million euros, and then he joined Bayern Munich and reached the peak at Bayern Munich.

Initially, CSKA Moscow asked for €4 million, but in the end, Leeds United brought in the Croatian international for £2 million.

Olic is a Croatian country, so he can naturally get a labor certificate, so there is no need to worry about it.

After Olic joined Leeds United, he immediately became Leeds United's leading bidder in the transfer market this season.

And England fans and Leeds United fans are not optimistic about Olich, although this guy is a Croatian international, but so what? They all think that Olic is not worth 2 million euros at all, and they have sarcastically mocked Zhong Cheng as the wronged leader.

Leeds United fans cursed Zhong Cheng even more frantically, calling for Zhong Cheng to get out of Leeds United quickly. Leeds United fans found a way to criticize Zhong Cheng again, frantically attacked Zhong Cheng, humiliated Zhong Cheng fiercely, and even brought Albertini and Olich to be sarcastic.

At

this time, Leeds United's third warm-up game of the season is coming, Leeds United will face Livingston from the Scottish Premiership, who finished ninth in the Scottish Premier League last season, which is also fourth from the bottom of the league.

This opponent is not strong, but the bad guy is a team from the Soviet Super League.

Bradley Wilson, a reporter for the Manchester Evening News, wrote in his column: "Don't think you're top of the world by beating two of England's lower teams. This time against the team of the Soviet Super League, Leeds United is bound to lose, and the madman Loya will pay a terrible price for his madness.

As soon as Bradley Wilson's words fell, he was slapped in the face. In the third warm-up game, Leeds United won 1-0 away at Livingston, and the goal was scored by Dutchman Huntelaar.
