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

The new season is coming.

The 3:0 victory over Bordeaux is a good start for Leeds United in November.

This Sunday, the 11th round of the Premier League will be rekindled.

This round, Leeds United will go away to challenge Bolton.

Bolton has performed very well this season and is now ranked fourth in the league with a record of 6 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses.

Under Allardyce's training, they have done a good job on both offense and defense, and the combination of Anelka and Diouf on the front line should not be underestimated.

However, Li Shiguang didn't care about these. Leeds United is now on a winning streak, and the team's morale is high. He wants to continue to pursue a winning streak. He still played the same 4-3-3 lineup as in the last game. The only change was that Thiago Silva replaced the injured Kompany.

But the progress of the game was not as smooth as Li Shiguang imagined.

Allardyce did make a breakthrough this season, making Bolton's defense impregnable, making it difficult for Leeds United to open the situation, and Bolton occasionally threatened Leeds United's goal through counterattacks through the strong personal abilities of Anelka and Diouf.

After a hard fight, until the end of the game, Leeds United broke through Bolton's goal through Modric's extremely tricky long-range shot from the outside, and took away 3 points from the Reebok Stadium with difficulty!

After playing against Bolton, Leeds United, who gave up the League Cup, got a week of precious rest time. Then in the next three rounds of the Premier League, they won two games and drew one game against Charlton, Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur.

Not only that, in the Champions League group match against Eindhoven on the 23rd, Leeds United defeated their opponent 2:0, completely ensuring their status as the first team in the group to qualify!

After Leeds United finished the entire November schedule, people were surprised to find that Leeds United had barely entered the top 10 in the standings since the end of October, and quietly climbed to the third place in the standings with 27 points. What's more, Leeds United has one less game!

Now ahead of them, only Manchester United with 35 points and Chelsea with 32 points are left.

The day after the game with Tottenham, Li Shiguang and Leeds United once again appeared on the sports pages of many newspapers.

"Horrible record! Since defeating Manchester United in the 8th round, Leeds United has not lost a single game in the league! 》

《Chelsea and Manchester United's championship battle may be broken, Leeds United becomes the third? 》

《Li Shiguang: Winning the Premier League this season is just a small goal of mine! 》

《The real tough battle is still ahead, let's talk about winning the championship after the devil's schedule in December! 》

《Li Shiguang briefly talks about the seven league games in December, saying that the team is ready to meet the challenge! 》

This is the English media reporters. When the team's performance is not good, they add insult to injury, and when the team's performance is good, they praise it as a god.

Under this kind of almost flattering boasting, Li Shiguang's life has been too difficult these days. Every day, the entrance of Thorp Arch Base is blocked by reporters who want to interview him, which makes Li Shiguang very annoyed.

He has no mind to conduct these meaningless interviews now, because there are more important things waiting for him to do in the team!

····

After entering November, under the instruction of Li Shiguang, Allen began to negotiate contract renewals with the players in the team.

Leeds United is now doing well in the league and has reached the top 16 in the Champions League. Li Shiguang's personal charm is also there, and most of the players still have a strong sense of belonging to Leeds United.

Now Li Shiguang has money in his hands, so this time Allen raised their salaries by 2-3 times when negotiating contract renewals with the players' agents, but he also increased the new contract period to 4 years.

After a month, Allen's work went smoothly, and he successfully renewed contracts with most of his players, but he encountered difficulties when negotiating with Maicon's agent.

On Tuesday morning, Li Shiguang had just arrived in the office to change his clothes and was about to pick up his things to go to training, when Allen knocked on the door of the office.

"Boss, there is something I must report to you. The contract renewal between us and Maicon is not going smoothly."

Hearing this, Li Shiguang subconsciously frowned: "What's going on? Are there other clubs poaching players?"

After all, the winter transfer window will open soon, and the young players in the Leeds United team are all hot cakes. Some other clubs have already approached Leeds United.

Inquiries were made, and the most outrageous thing was that even Rivaldo had Asian teams asking Leeds United if they wanted to sell him!

Li Shiguang did ask Rivaldo half-jokingly, but Rivaldo himself didn't want to leave. He just wanted to retire in Leeds United and make use of his remaining energy, so the matter was left unresolved.

So when he heard that the contract renewal with Maicon was not going smoothly, the first thing Li Shiguang thought of was that other teams were poaching him!

It's not that he doesn't want to sell. If there is a club that can offer him a satisfactory price, he will definitely offer the players favored by these clubs with both hands! It's just that Maicon's position is a little awkward. Judging from Sun Jihai's recovery speed, he will have a chance to play in the game in March next year at the earliest, and whether he can be in good condition is another matter.

If Maicon is sold, the most critical thing is that Li Shiguang can't find a suitable replacement for a while!

Allen shook his head, but his tone was uncertain: "I haven't checked this yet, but after talking to his agent Antonio, I don't think so. He may just want a pay raise."

"Just raise the salary. I told you that every player's salary will at least double in this contract renewal. It's not like we can't afford it now!" Li Shiguang replied with a smile, and then walked to the door. He was still in a hurry to go to training.

I thought it was something else!

Hearing that Maicon just wanted a pay raise, Li Shiguang didn't care. Since he had a small goal in hand, he didn't think that any problem that could be solved with money was a problem.

But Allen still shook his head, and what he said made Li Shiguang feel a little outrageous.

"I don't know whether it was Maicon's own intention or his agent's intention. The salary this kid wants this time is 5 times higher than before!"

After saying this, Li Shiguang, who had already walked to the door, turned and looked at Allen again.

"How much does he want???"
