Tyrant of green giants, signed Guardiola at the beginning

There is still a week until the Champions League final.

Exotic red colors have begun to appear on the streets of Istanbul.

The Rossoneri, AC Milan fans and Liverpool fans have gradually made the football atmosphere in Istanbul become fanatical.

At the end of the Turkish Cup final, Galatasaray's victory sent Istanbul's local fans into a frenzy.

Chen Hao saw the Frenchman named Frank Ribery in the Galatasaray celebration team.

He and Chris Jones deliberately followed him from a distance. When Ribery went home at night, he did not notice anyone following him in a car from a distance.

After confirming Ribery's residential address, Chen Hao and Chris Jones took turns watching from a distance.

They didn't see Ribery go out until noon the next day, so Chen Hao tidied up his appearance, and then came to visit with Chris Jones.

When Ribery opened the door with his shirtless body, Chen Hao smiled at him and said: "Hello, Frank, please allow me to introduce myself. I think you should know who Candela is. He recommended us to come to you. I represent Leeds United of the Premier League has come to invite you to join. If you are interested, you can invite us into the house to talk slowly."

Ribery was holding the phone, obviously a little agitated.

The joy of celebrating the championship yesterday disappeared without a trace.

He let Chen Hao and Chris Jones into the house.

"Candra? Vincent Candela? Does he know who I am?"

Chen Hao opened his mouth and came.

"Of course, he played for France for so many years and he looked at his compatriots and he strongly recommended you to us that we needed a striker and he was a full-back and he described to our coach how to partner with you on the left flank to attack the opponent. The beauty of the defense, his willingness to play support for you, to be honest, I am touched by his spirit, he wants to see you become the backbone of France."

Ribery was a little confused.

Am I so famous?

It is only in the past year that he has emerged in France.

In fact, he is not a young genius.

In the 03/04 season, he also competed in the French third-tier league.

He played well in Metz for half the season last season.

Then I arrived in Türkiye in January this year.

Everything was going to be fine.

However, it would be too much for Galatasaray not to pay him!

Ribery is now afraid of being cheated.

But when he heard Candela's name, his psychological defense lowered a lot.

Ribery sighed: "I am looking to leave. My agent told me that I can leave Turkey directly. Galatasaray's delay in arrears of my wages has invalidated the contract, but I want to return to France to develop."

Chen Hao smiled and said: "No, you won't go back to France. If you leave Ligue [-], don't go back. You want to go to a more competitive league. The Premier League is your best choice at the moment. There is Manchester United there, and there are Chelsea, there's Liverpool, the protagonists of the Champions League final a few days later, and there's Arsenal, where Henry, your predecessor, plays.

You have to go there to grow, improve, score goals, prove your worth, show your talent.

And our club, Leeds United.

Will give you everything you want.

By the way, these words were asked by our chairman and head coach Shen Hao to tell you. "

Ribery became passionate as he listened.

It seems that the Premier League is indeed more attractive than Ligue [-].

He asked tentatively: "What kind of treatment will Leeds United give me?"

When Chen Hao raised his hand, Chris Jones handed him a document.

"This is the maximum salary package for our club. In addition, if you can join Leeds United directly, we will also give you a signing fee of 200 million pounds."

Unlike those veterans who are in decline in the eyes of the outside world.

Ribery is on the rise.

Shen Hao would not pick up such a player for free.

Don't be stingy when it's time to book.

The 22-year-old Ribery was instantly shocked by Leeds United's handiwork.

In fact, other teams would probably give him a higher treatment.

But Leeds United are racing for time.

Target him first before other teams can react.

Ribery is actually quite anxious.

He was also afraid that Galatasaray would know that he was going to escape and use means to control him.

So his departure must be quick.

Decide on your next home and complete the transfer quickly.

"I need to talk to my agent and I don't know Leeds United at all."

Chen Hao smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, Batistuta, have you heard of it?"

Ribery nodded.

"Has Guardiola heard of our players, apart from Candela?"

"Ok?"

"Our players. Do you know Redondo?"

"what?"

"Still one of our players. Simeone, do you know him?"

"This?"

"Leeds United players, we recently signed Edgar Davids, he left Inter Milan and just wanted to play for Leeds United."

Ribery:! ! !

Is Leeds United that strong?

Brains buzzing.

So many stars!

What a great reputation!

Chen Hao continued: "In addition to the Premier League stage, we will also compete in the UEFA Cup in the new season. The club will also have many exciting signings. We have ambitious goals and need outstanding young stars like you!"

Star? !

Ribery was even more dizzy.

Am I considered a star?

Chen Hao added: "We are all in a hurry. Why don't you call your agent over now and let's talk about the details. If possible, you'd better fly to Leeds tonight. If the fans know about your joining, they will definitely I’ll go crazy with joy.”

The confused Ribery subconsciously called his agent.

I muttered in my heart: Do I have fans in England?

Chris Jones looked on dumbfounded.

Mr. Chen's ability to coax and deceive was an eye-opener for him.

No wonder he is one of the three giants in white!

...

the next day.

Ribery and his agent came to Leeds.

They first issued a statement to Galatasaray.

If wages are in arrears for a long time, the contract will be void!

Galatasaray is indeed unable to pay wages due to financial reasons, so they can only accuse Ribery of taking him to court if he dares to leave the team without permission.

Leeds United don't care about that much.

Shen Hao has never been afraid of playing wild tricks.

When meeting Ribery at the Thorpe Arch training ground, the smile on his face was genuine.

Ribery's current ability is 149, and his potential is as high as 186!

What is this concept?

He is a man who has a chance to become a god!

Even though the potential cutoff for becoming a god is generally 190.

Looking at the Premier League, Henry's potential of 189 is a little short of it, but his performance has been explosive.

And that Cristiano Ronaldo, who was showing off while riding a bicycle at Old Trafford, has a potential of up to 193!

Among the active players currently known to Shen Hao, there is only one with higher potential than this.

That kid is setting records at all levels of Barcelona’s youth teams and has already made his first-team debut.

The potential is as high as 197!

terror!

But still the same.

Potential is potential, ability is reality.

If Ribery reaches the ceiling,

His strength also has a chance to become a god.

Just like Henry's potential is 189, but his ability has not changed in one year, it is still 184.

Perhaps in the past few years, the ability has only fluctuated around this value by no more than 1.

Players at this level, with a small improvement in ability, will have to work several times harder than in the past.

Shen Hao took Ribery to visit the training base, and then the two parties happily signed a five-year contract.

Leeds United happily gave him a signing fee of 200 million pounds directly.

This is the biggest sum of money Ribery has received in his career.

Don’t say anything, just go to Leeds to buy a house and a car.

Leeds United's cash on hand has turned into more than 3600 million pounds.

By the beginning of next month, there will be a reduction of £700 million.

Regarding Ribery's joining, Leeds United's official announcement was very brief.

Mainly because Ribery is technically a Galatasaray player.

But Galatasaray is paying attention to Ribery's movements.

After Ribery joined Leeds United, they immediately chose to take Ribery and Leeds United to court.

After accepting the case, the European Court of Arbitration for Sport sent notices of the court date to the parties and both clubs.

The FA was stunned.

I don't know what's going on.

Suddenly a Premier League team is involved in a lawsuit.

So they also sent inquiries to Leeds United.

Tang Jinyu went to deal with it.

Shen Hao doesn't care.

The raw rice has been cooked, how can we let Ribery run away?

When the court is in session, the court is in session.

It is not a lie that Galatasaray owed Ribery wages.

This matter cannot be justified anywhere.

For the new season's lineup, only Batistuta and Franck Ribery are currently confirmed on the front line.

Obviously not enough.

Shen Hao is still searching for a forward suitable to be introduced to Leeds United.

Suddenly there are Premier League teams recommending players to them.

Sit in the Elland Road pub and play cards in the evening.

Bates has been somewhat quiet of late.

He often falls into deep thought and wonders what he is thinking.

"Middlesbrough are really reckless! They spent 350 million euros to get Mendieta. It was really good for one year, but he was seriously injured last season. Now they want to send Mendieta away to reduce the salary pressure. Who wants to do that? Who wants it, Brother Hao, we can’t be taken advantage of."

Chen Hao was holding a cigarette in his mouth, feeling a little moody recently.

He went to Turkey and completed the task assigned to him by Shen Hao, with pride written all over his face.

Bates said to Shen Hao at this time: "There is no need for Leeds United to bet on Mendieta after a serious injury."

In the past, Leeds United may have been suspected of grasping at straws.

It doesn’t matter whether people can come or not, as long as they can come, I will use it.

But in Bates's eyes, the current Leeds United can almost be said to be completely different.

There's really no need to take risks on team building.

Mendieta’s salary is high!

Even if Leeds United wants a weekly salary of [-] pounds, they may not be able to negotiate.

In case the bet fails, the cost per year is at least 200 million pounds, if signed for 3 years.

At least 600 million pounds was wasted.

Some clubs just have too many losers and are killing themselves.

Shen Hao looked at the cards on the table and muttered to himself.

"Two-time UEFA Midfielder of the Year, a player like this should be turned away?"

Bates sighed softly when he saw Shen Hao's look.

This tyrant always does things unexpectedly.

It looks like Middlesbrough sent him a bomb, but he wanted to accept it.

Can't figure it out!

At the end of the card game in the evening, when Shen Hao and his party left, Bates looked at Shen Hao's back outside the bar, his eyes becoming cloudy and uncertain.

...

"We can only give Mendieta a weekly salary of 2 pounds. If he is willing, he will come. If he is not willing and you still want him to come, then give him the difference in salary reduction. Otherwise, Forget this deal."

Shen Hao gave Middlesbrough coach Steve McLaren an ultimatum.

Steve McLaren actually likes Mendieta, but the problem is that he was frustrated in Serie A and just showed improvement after moving to the Premier League, but he was seriously injured for most of the season.

At the age of 31, can he still be expected to return to his peak?

In order to free up salary space and recruit new players, McLaren could only recommend Mendieta to Leeds United, who were recruiting new players.

Obviously, no other team will want Mendieta.

After all, what strength did Mendieta have after being seriously injured?

who knows?

But Leeds United really dared to ask for it.

McLaren is not afraid of Leeds United's conditions, but he is afraid that Leeds United are not interested.

As for the conditions.

It’s okay to talk.

Leeds United have a tough attitude here.

Mendieta is unlikely to receive more than the maximum salary.

So McLaren did both.

One side is Mendieta, who hopes to move to Leeds United.

The other party is your own boss.

Make some compensation to Mendieta.

So soon the three parties reached an agreement.

Middlesbrough compensated Mendieta 150 million pounds, and Mendieta reported directly to Leeds United.

For Middlesbrough, which competes in the Premier League, it frees up a salary space of 200 million pounds per year, and McLaren can make targeted signings.

One in and one out, in the long run, the business should do well.

But there is a premise.

The premise is that Mendieta becomes a useless person.

It is no longer possible to show off in the Premier League.

The tall Mendieta has a cold temperament, and his blond hair seems to show his pride.

Maybe he is just quiet and withdrawn, but his lack of enthusiasm can always be mistaken for arrogance.

Shen Hao only asked him one question before signing the contract with him.

"Will you work hard to get back to the top?"

Mendieta didn't answer, but nodded.

"I don't like silent responses, tell me the answer loudly and clearly."

"I will for sure!"

"Okay, starting today, you are a Leeds United player, and I will make you return to the top!"

Mendieta signs for Leeds United!

Headquarters group in white.

"The fourth pick this summer, Gazca Mendieta!"

"It feels like I haven't heard from him in a while."

"Yes, he was once the core of Valencia. A few years ago, at the right midfielder position, Figo was the breakthrough player and Beckham was the passer. Mendieta was a combination of the two!"

"No, losing two consecutive Champions League finals must have been the biggest regret in his career for him."

"Gezca Mendieta, a 31-year-old Spanish midfielder, capable of playing right midfielder and all positions in the center. He played for Valencia for eight years in La Liga, the flag of Mestalla, and moved to Lazio that summer. The third highest transfer record. Unfortunately, he failed to adapt to Serie A after the transfer. He played for Barcelona and Middlesbrough in the past three years and was retired last season after a serious injury."
