The biggest fanatic in football

"Dear Director Li, do you finally have time to care about your own industry?"

Standing in front of a busy construction site, Mike Taylor joked.

It’s no wonder that he was a bit eccentric. After all, it wasn’t until the fifth day after returning to the UK that Lee Polo remembered that he had a large project under construction between Wimbledon and London with a total value of several hundred million!

After nearly half a year of construction, Wimbledon's new stadium has basically completed the foundation work. Even a layman like Lee Polo can roughly see that the prototype of the entire underground garage has been developed.

Club manager Powell, the project manager, the person in charge of the construction company, the person in charge of the supervision company and other people gathered around him and took the trouble to answer Lee Polo's unprofessional questions, which even lacked some basic common sense.

"Fortunately, we started construction early. In the past month, international steel prices have increased by more than 20%!"

After finishing the work on the stadium, Mike took Boss Li to another factory area a few kilometers away:

"According to the plan we discussed before, this medium-sized clothing factory is also ours. In the future, we can even produce Wimbledon peripheral products here, such as ordinary training clothes, scarves, hats, commemorative shirts, and team flags.

Mascot dolls and the like.”

As he spoke, he sighed with regret:

"It's a pity that we didn't succeed in advancing this year!"

Li Polo nodded silently.

Under the leadership of head coach Neil Ardley, the Crazy Gang had ups and downs this season, eventually ranking 6th in the English Championship. Although this ranking allowed them to enter the promotion play-offs, they were defeated by Harder, who was ranked 5th.

Schiff defeated by the advantage of away goals. The hot momentum of consecutive promotions in the previous two seasons came to an abrupt end here. It failed to create England's "Miracle of Kaiserslautern" and could only make a comeback next season.

Fortunately, due to the good impact of their excellent results in recent years, the club has secured several good sponsors, which prevents their financial deficit from continuing to expand.

Lee Polo and Mike had already reached an agreement that they were not prepared to increase investment until the new stadium was put into use.

After all, with the old stadium having only more than 6,000 seats, even if it successfully enters the Premier League, ticket prices will increase significantly, and even if every game is 100% full, it will not make much money per game, but it will face huge pressure to avoid relegation.

Although if you stay in the Premier League, you can count on your money, and the broadcast revenue alone is close to 100 million per season, but this money is not easy to earn at all.

What's more... having good and safe stadiums, training grounds and other infrastructure is itself an entry requirement for a Premier League team!

If the current Kuang Gang really enters the Premier League, the first thing they have to do is change their home stadium. Even if they rent out other places, they will not be able to continue to use the King's Lawn Stadium!

Otherwise they will be expelled from the Premier League in minutes!

After visiting the bustling factory assembly line, the two came to Wimbledon's most famous private golf course.

Originally he thought it was just for a casual play, but as soon as Li Poluo changed into sportswear, he saw four golf girls with bulging fronts and backs appearing in the venue...

"this?"

He turned to look at Mike, who looked unperturbed:

"Don't tell me that you haven't entered a similar private golf course?"

Li Polo unconsciously held his waist and slowly shook his head.

[In addition to the crazy training and competition every day, his most precious vacation is almost spent with Lisanna! 】

Mike looked like "I understand", took out a black card from his wallet, and stuffed it into Boss Li's hand without any explanation:

"Membership card, if you live in London for a long time in the future, you can come here to play ball anytime!"

The following is the playing time.

Too watery, omit.

…

…………

-

"Guys, thank you for your help in the past year, and we will see you again!"

“Welcome to Germany as a guest!”

"Next time we come to Barcelona, ​​we will be our opponents!"

As the transfer period approaches, people in Valencia's group chat are bidding farewell to their teammates one after another.

The earliest ones are Jones, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Tuanzebe, Llorente, Torrea and Munir.

And those players with formal contracts soon appeared in the farewell team.

"Guys, in the past three years, thanks to everyone's help, I have had a great time in Valencia and made enough progress. If you have the opportunity to travel to Turin, please be sure to inform me..."

The first person to leave Valencia was the Portuguese full-back Joao Cancelo, who had been playing for three years.

This absolute main force of the Bat Corps, after being selected into the best team of La Liga, moved to join Serie A class leader Juventus.

In order to get this all-around winger who can play both offense and defense, the Old Lady spent 45 million euros - but it was paid in installments.

Following closely behind is left back Jose Gaya. Affected by injuries and the return of big brother Bernat, he can only gradually become a substitute player this season.

With a worth of 25 million, he transferred to French Ligue 1 champion Monaco.

——Yes, this season’s Ligue 1 champion is Monaco.

——As Valencia’s own youth training player, the club did not raise the transfer fee. 25 million is somewhat low.

Paris Saint-Germain cannot bear to be robbed of the league title by Monaco.

Therefore, they will never allow Barcelona to snatch their own midfielder Verratti, but instead use a more arrogant attitude to snatch Neymar!

This farce lasted for nearly three months, starting in early April and finally coming to an end in late June.

Since he was ridiculed by Li Polo for "faking an injury to visit relatives" in March, the conflict between Neymar and the Barcelona club has long been irreconcilable. Compared with the attempts to hide it in history, the two sides in this world have directly torn their faces.

Neymar bought out his contract with his own money!

Looking at the 220 million transferred from the account out of thin air, Barcelona could only let him go!

The 25-year-old Neymar, the flag-bearer of this generation of five-star Brazil, has joined Paris Saint-Germain with the aura of being the most valuable person in history!

Neymar's transfer, in addition to feeding the world's sports media, also dropped an unprecedented blockbuster on the entire European football transfer market!

With a huge sum of 220 million in hand, Barcelona urgently needed to fill the vacancies, but they unsurprisingly became the "taken advantage of" in everyone's eyes!

Everyone knows they have money! And it’s cash!

[Want to buy someone from us? No problem, first increase the price by 50%! And refuse to pay in installments!]

Barcelona, ​​which encountered obstacles in the transfer market, finally spent 100 million euros from Dortmund to buy the 20-year-old French teenager Dembélé...

As soon as this operation was announced, Barcelona became a joke in the entire European football world!

The management of the Bundesliga Hornets almost renovated the Weststadt with laughter!

But... Valencia really can't laugh.

Because Barcelona changed hands and poached their midfielder DePaul from the Bat Legion for 50 million!

Iniesta Lampo is old, and Barcelona's midfielder needs to be replaced. Since Verratti is not available, DePaul, who is both offensive and defensive, is also good!

——Poaching people from the new European champions is better than poaching people from the Chinese Super League overlords, right?

——A 50 million Champions League champion midfielder is better than a 40 million Paulinho, right?

After learning the news, Li Poluo was really surprised, because DePaul just renewed his contract last year, and the contract has at least three years left.

He immediately sent a message to this teammate and asked him what he thought.

DePaul’s answer was very factual:

"Barcelona has paid me a high salary and promised me enough appearances, and... I want to play with Messi."

Looking at the last item, Li Polo could only nod.

As a newcomer to Argentina, is it wrong to want to play with the big brother of the national team?

Cancelo, Gaya, DePaul, and Valencia were sold to only 3 people, and the bank account received 120 million!

And their transfer fees at that time were less than 30 million in total...

After De Paul, his Argentinian compatriot Perez also chose to leave.

It's just that Enzo Perez, who is 31 years old, cannot be sold at a high price. Considering that his contract is only in the last year and he is returning to Argentina with a glorious return, Valencia only received a friendly price of 7.5 million from River Plate.

Diego Alves, who just won the best goalkeeper in La Liga, also returned to the old Brazilian team Flamengo at a very low price. At the age of 32, he also has to consider retirement.

Most of Valencia's starting 11 were gone in the blink of an eye!

When the European transfer window was turbulent, Li Polo, who was on vacation with Lisanna, finally received a call from his agent:

"Alan?"

Allen's voice rang:

"Hey, Polo, I'm afraid you need to take some time to prepare to meet them."

Li Polo raised his eyebrows:

"Do you need to meet?"

Allen's voice was a little excited:

"This is a major event that determines your career. We can only fight for you, but we cannot decide for you."

Li Polo is still satisfied with his service attitude:

"Okay, any time is fine. Who am I talking to?"

Just listen to Allen's answer:

"The first one is Arsene Wenger. Although I think Arsenal is impossible, Mr. Wenger still strongly requests to meet with you. I can only agree to arrange it for him."

After hearing the name, Li Polo scratched his chin:

"What else?"

"Ed Woodward, Peter Moore, Marina Granovskaya."

Li Polo was stunned for a moment:

"Who was that Marina at the end?"

Why among a bunch of big men, a name that is obviously a woman’s name got mixed up?

Allen answered him seriously:

"As a female director of Chelsea, you can understand her as the most influential person in the Chelsea club after Abramovich."

Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea...

Except for Manchester City, who look down on Lee Poirot's skills, the top four traditional players in the Premier League have all gathered together.

Li Polo took a sip of lemonade:

"Then let's decide as soon as possible."
