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

The two sides have been in a state of panic, and the two sides have been in a state of panic.

Morse was stunned, and immediately responded: "Mr. Li, Gerrard is not for sale, there is no doubt about that, I can't use Gerrard to exchange Deisler with Leeds United!"

Hearing Morse's answer, Li Shiguang also realized that his previous sentence was a bit general, and immediately explained: "No, no, no, Mr. Morse, you misunderstood, I don't want Gerrard, I want to exchange Xabi Alonso with you."

The reason why Li Shiguang agreed to Deisler so readily was largely because he had set his sights on Alonso.

After introducing Modric, Li Shiguang has always wanted to copy Real Madrid's "ceremonial three midfielders", but now Kroos and Casemiro are too young after all, so after Deisler said in the morning that Liverpool wanted to buy him, Li Shiguang suddenly had an idea and thought of Xabi Alonso in Liverpool's lineup.

Alonso, who was called the three giants by fans after retirement, is exactly the player Leeds United urgently needs now. Although he is not good at scoring, he has a broad vision, excellent ball control, and is good at long-distance passes. The most important thing is that his strong defensive sweeping ability can complement Modric.

With the further development of modern football, in a few years, the position of attacking midfielder will gradually become blurred on the football field. Even in the future, in the mouths of fans, the position of classic attacking midfielder will completely withdraw from the world football stage with the retirement of Riquelme, so letting Deisler go for Alonso is definitely a sure win, not to mention that there is a 90% chance that Deisler will be lame in half a year.

Hearing that Li Shiguang didn't want Gerrard, Morse was slightly relieved, but Alonso was still a problem. When Benítez bought him, he told him that Alonso was the hope of Liverpool's revival! It was not an easy task to convince him to exchange Alonso for Deisler.

Then, the two of them had another fight, and later Li Shiguang couldn't stand it anymore, so he proposed 1.5 million euros + Deisler in exchange for Alonso, which ended the negotiation.

In the next two days, after getting Li Shiguang's affirmative answer, Deisler's mental state really returned to normal, so Li Shiguang finally put him in the starting lineup against Tottenham.

In the last week of November, the 14th round of the Premier League officially started.

Leeds United welcomed the challenge of Tottenham Hotspur at home.

Tottenham encountered the same weak forward situation as Liverpool this season. After the first 13 rounds of games, they only scored 14 goals in total. Now they are ranked 8th with 5 wins, 6 draws and 2 losses and 21 points.

Of course, Leeds United is even more bleak now. In the last round, they tied with Arsenal and only got 1 point. Now they are ranked 13th.

In this game, Li Shiguang still used the starting lineup in the last game against Arsenal.

On the Tottenham side, the most eye-catching should be their main striker Robbie Keane. Like Ferdinand, he was also a member of Leeds United before, but Leeds United did have too many bad debts in those years, so in 2002, Keane was sold to Tottenham at a low price of 7 million.

Today is also the first time Keane has returned to Elland Road since leaving Leeds United. When Eddie Gray introduced the players, he heard Keane's name and the fans at the scene gave him warm applause, which made him very happy.

But 90 minutes later, the score of 3:2 hanging over the Elland Road Stadium made Keane's mood reversed.

Although Keane had tried very hard in the game, he still scored two goals in the second half when Tottenham was 3 goals behind, but he still couldn't stop the team's defeat. Falcao's condition today was too good. Nebet and Ledley couldn't stand his impact at all. In the first half alone, Tottenham was scored 3 goals by his head and feet.

Seeing that the victory was already decided, because the next game would face a stronger Liverpool, Li Shiguang also made substitutions one after another after 65 minutes.

But after Modric and Mascherano left the field, Leeds United's control in the midfield gradually declined. In the last 10 minutes, Keane seized the opportunity to score 2 goals, which made Li Shiguang stand on the sidelines and curse for a while. Fortunately, after being scolded, Leeds United's defense line withstood Tottenham's counterattack and finally won the game 3:2 at home.

All taken

After 3 points, Leeds United's points rose to 17 points, and the ranking once again reached the top 10.

During the week of preparing for the match against Liverpool, after the daily training, Li Shiguang did not leave Thorp Arch immediately, but took a thick scout report in the office, and combined with his memory to keep looking for signings.

Now the only signing who has been completely finalized in the winter is Rivaldo. Morse has not given a positive answer to Alonso, but Li Shiguang thinks that there should be no big problem.

Leeds United now has sufficient reserves in the defensive midfielder position. After Alonso came, there are 4 genuine defensive midfielders, not to mention Yaya Toure and Milner who can guest play.

But Leeds United still needs to strengthen the forward line.

A week of searching is not in vain. A scout report from Germany made Li Shiguang pat his head, annoyed that he didn't think of this person, that is, Podolski who is still in Cologne!

Podolski, who is only 20 years old now, has gradually shown his talent. I remember that Bayern Munich will bring him to the Allianz Arena next year. Now is a good time to intercept him.

Moreover, Podolski can not only play as a left winger and a left midfielder, but even if he is placed in the center and shadow forward positions, he can also perform well.

Li Shiguang can see from the system that, except for the speed that Podolski is comparable to Bale, the other panel attributes are higher than Bale, and the most important thing is that his current value is not expensive! It should be possible to get him within 10 million euros.

Since he did not know anyone from Cologne, after making up his mind, Li Shiguang immediately asked Lina to arrange someone to contact the Cologne club and let them follow the regular quotation process.

The final result also satisfied Li Shiguang. After several days of negotiations, Cologne finally agreed to sell Podolski for 9.5 million euros.

So far, the third goal of the winter window has been completed!
