Chapter 357 The new season begins!
Chapter 357 The new season begins!
Chinese Olympic Games.
A feast for the world of sports.
The whole country celebrated together, and the wonderful opening ceremony amazed the world.
Shen Hao's attendance at the opening ceremony was just one of the many celebrities who came to embellish the event.
After the opening ceremony, he chatted a few words with the organizing committee.
The other party vaguely expressed that they originally wanted him to participate in recording the theme song of "China Welcomes You".
But for some unknown reason, he was kicked off the final list.
It's very sad.
Shen Hao didn't care.
I am afraid that the rottenness in my bones cannot be hidden in the eyes of some people above.
Anyway, he is coaching abroad, so try not to give him the burden of being a public figure in China.
To avoid suffering backlash in the future.
Li Fen, Shen Yao, and Vanessa Kirby were all in a position near the center during the opening ceremony, which was equivalent to a VIP seat.
Shen Hao didn't know anything about Li Fen's personal network in the imperial capital.
After all, Li Fen lives a simple life. Apart from better living conditions, her living habits are like those of ordinary people. It doesn't matter whether she is high-profile or low-key. She just lives a normal life.
So there is no need to rely on connections to do anything.
But for such a major event where the whole country works together, Li Fen gets obviously special treatment.
Shen Hao didn't think much about it.
After the opening ceremony, Shen Hao went to the airport alone that night.
Vanessa Kirby and Arthur stayed in China to watch the Olympic Games. With Li Fen and Shen Yao here, they would neither be lonely nor encounter trouble that was difficult to solve.
...
On the way back to Leeds by plane, Shen Hao was lying on the luxurious first-class bed, thinking about Ronaldinho joining Leeds United.
When he landed in the Imperial Capital, he received a call from Calderon.
He said he had already raised the funds.
Prepare to offer Robben to Leeds United for 8000 million euros.
Shen Hao did not agree to him because he said before that after mid-July, Robben is not for sale.
Calderon suddenly became anxious and said that although it was a little late, he sincerely wanted to buy it!
If it hadn't been for the meeting arranged by Assis later, Shen Hao probably wouldn't have sold Robben when he went back.
But the current situation forced him to re-evaluate.
Robben wants to go to Madrid and he is sure that has not changed.
Ronaldinho has insisted not to sign the contracts submitted by AC Milan and Chelsea in the past two months, just to join Leeds United.
One wants to leave, the other wants to come.
Between the two, from an emotional point of view, of course the latter is the better choice.
Now I am just worried that Ronaldinho's arrival in the team will not be able to stop the downward trend. If the decline continues, the impact will be very bad.
But since the other party also showed sincerity, Shen Hao was finally willing to give him a chance.
...
When Shen Hao returned to Leeds, Leeds United had a game that day!
Simeone left Leeds United in the summer and returned to his hometown in Argentina to stay for a while. At the same time, he planned to start a coaching career in South American football.
Therefore, the preparations for the Community Shield were presided over by Feiningan.
After getting into the car that Chen Hao came to pick him up, Chen Hao asked with concern: "Brother Hao, have you rested along the way?"
"It's okay. I lie down and sleep most of the time. Is there anything unexpected going on at the club these two days?"
"No, it's just that Real Madrid made a public offer today to buy Robben."
"how much is it?"
"8000 euros."
Real Madrid sold Robinho to Manchester City and recovered 4200 million euros.
Now the funds are sufficient.
Shen Hao called Tang Jinyu.
Soon Leeds United officially approved Real Madrid's offer.
Robben, who was originally preparing to go to London to play the Community Shield game in the afternoon, left the team directly and followed his father to Madrid for a medical examination.
Leeds United fans are confused!
"Robben is gone!"
"Why are you leaving the team at this time? You should leave early. Now that he's gone, we suddenly have one less main player!"
"Alas, I don't know what the tyrant is thinking. Our recruitment work this summer... to be honest, it failed!"
...
As Leeds United head to London.
A piece of news spread back to England from Spanish football.
"Leeds United officially made an offer to Barcelona for 2100 million euros for Ronaldinho!"
Fleet Street and Leeds United fans had an epiphany after receiving the news.
I bet Robben is gone and Ronaldinho is coming!
But what is surprising is that Barcelona agreed to the offers from AC Milan and Chelsea for Ronaldinho, but Leeds United rejected the offer for the same transfer fee.
Don't wait for Leeds United's reaction.
Assis, who has been paying attention to the news from Barcelona, directly gave Laporta an ultimatum!
"Barcelona wanted to let my brother go, and we agreed! We are not going to Real Madrid now, nor are we going to join Espanyol, why not let us go to Leeds? If Barcelona does not agree to Leeds United's offer, then fine, we will go nowhere. We won’t go, we’ll wait until the contract is over before we leave!”
Ronaldinho actually has no emotions about Barcelona listing him.
He has not performed well in the past two seasons, which is obvious to all, and he does not want to quibble.
But when it was time to break up, why couldn't we satisfy his only request?
Laporta looked at Guardiola in his office.
"If we don't make a decision today, we will be in the headlines tomorrow. If Ronaldinho can't go to Leeds, and if he does stay, it will bring strong resistance and interference to you in the dressing room, and it will bring great interference to the club. It will be a big loss, we have to pay him a salary, and we also have to face the possibility that he will leave for free when the contract period ends."
Guardiola scratched his head and suddenly realized that his hair loss seemed to be getting worse.
He really doesn't want...or is really afraid of Ronaldinho going to Leeds United!
Barcelona doesn't have the magic of Leeds United.
So Ronaldinho is described as a cancer by the current media in Barcelona.
But what if he went to Leeds United?
Will it still be a cancer?
Guardiola believes that his foresight is nine times out of ten correct.
But the difficulty is... Ronaldinho doesn't know what's wrong with his mind, he is determined to hug the thigh of the Leeds tyrant!
Guardiola gave a wry smile.
If he were Ronaldinho, he would probably also wish to have such a huggable thigh.
After all, the experiences of Ronaldo, Rivaldo and other former teammates are very enviable.
"Oh, agree. The new season is about to begin, and we need a quiet atmosphere to prepare for the game."
When Laporta saw that Guardiola no longer persisted, he became a little worried.
Think about the internal negative impact of Calderon selling Ronaldo and Helguera... He is also afraid that something similar will happen to him.
However, there is no other choice now.
...
New Wembley Stadium.
The sun is shining and the wind is beautiful.
Leeds United and Manchester United staged the Rose Derby again.
In the top arena, the battle between mortal enemies is like an eternal battle.
As long as they are still in the top league, they will continue to fight.
Shen Hao was absent from the pre-match press conference and Feining took over, so he didn't give much nutritious stuff to the outside world.
Ferguson, on the other hand, cheered for Manchester United.
We hope that the team can perform at its best from the start of the new season.
The cruelty of the Premier League championship has been vividly demonstrated in the past three years.
Manchester United did not make a big move in the transfer market this summer.
On the one hand, the team's lineup is relatively neat, and there are no major problems in the results.
On the other hand, the budget that the Glazer family can give Ferguson is not generous.
For example, Leeds United dared to offer real money of 1.2 million euros to buy Messi in the summer, which not only shows their financial abundance, but also reflects their ambition.
If you only see that Leeds United has only introduced Neuer, Walker, and Eriksen so far, the investment is less than 5000 million euros.
But it ignores that they were once willing to set a higher transfer fee record in world football to strengthen their ambitions, so this is obviously not objective enough to evaluate their transfer.
It can only be said that it reflects their harshness in signings from the side.
If there are no players in their prime who can recruit them, then they will not rush to the hospital to make up for their injuries.
United's investment so far this summer has been similar to Leeds'.
Berbatov was introduced from Tottenham, the only signing throughout the summer, costing nearly 3500 million pounds.
Leeds United's lineup today is not neat.
Robben left the team before the game.
Deisler, Modric, and Van Bronckhorst were given a longer rest by the team for the European Cup and were not included in the squad today.
Kompany and Thiago Silva both went to compete in the Olympic men's football team.
So Leeds United put up a 442 formation that made Manchester United look unfamiliar.
Goalkeeper: Neuer.
Defenders: Kelly, Helguera, Kilgallon, Baines.
Midfielder: Belletti, Seth Johnson, Rakitic, Candela.
Forward: Ma Kai, Ronaldo.
Manchester United also has many main players missing from the same lineup.
Ferguson doesn't want to overspend in the Community Shield.
But at the same time, he was also afraid of being beaten by Leeds United.
So the defense line is very complete.
Goalkeeper: Van der Sar.
Defenders: Gary Neville, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra.
Midfielder: Fletcher, Scholes, O'Shea.
Forwards: Nani, Tevez, Giggs.
Both teams have familiar faces.
There is nothing special to note.
After the game started, both teams were very cautious.
Shen Hao and Ferguson were not in a hurry either.
Manchester United's offense did not go well in the frontcourt today.
Leeds United's wing defense is too strong!
There are full-backs in the backcourt and midfield to intercept, and they all do their job.
Scholes has a lot to offer in the middle, but lacks more support.
The rhythm never picks up.
Leeds United's offense is even simpler.
If there is no perfect counterattack opportunity, pass the ball to the two forwards and let Ma Kai and Ronaldo do the work.
Just after the warm-up match and coming to the Community Shield, the overall state of the team still needs to be improved, coupled with factors such as team rotation, absence of main players, changes in techniques and tactics.
Leeds United's offense is basically a normal attack with no threat.
Ronaldo is in better physical condition than when he returned last summer.
However, the competitive status still needs to be improved.
The two teams went back and forth, and each other's offensive attacks were overwhelmed by the opponent's defense line.
Ferguson returned to the coaching bench and sat down, crossing his arms across his chest and looking serious.
Before today's game, I was both happy and worried.
Fortunately, Leeds United will sell Robben.
And it was Robben who Real Madrid bought!
He thought Calderon was crazy.
The outside world does not know that Manchester United, Ronaldo, and Real Madrid have signed a three-party agreement.
Manchester United has promised to let Ronaldo go next summer.
Ronaldo has promised to stay at Manchester United for another year.
Real Madrid promises to make every effort to introduce Ronaldo next summer.
This agreement is certainly not fair, and there are loopholes in it.
But thinking on the bright side, in the end all three parties fulfilled the agreement, then Ronaldo will land at the Bernabeu next summer.
Under this premise, Calderon still wants to buy Robben.
Ferguson thought that Calderon probably couldn't wait any longer.
He needs a breakthrough in the Champions League record to stay alive.
Now Ferguson hopes that Robben can show off his talents after going to the Bernabeu, and then next summer, Real Madrid may not have the need to buy Ronaldo.
But what worries him is... Everyone thought that the story between Leeds United and Ronaldinho was just unrequited love.
Unexpectedly, Ronaldinho's persistence would bear fruit!
Not only Ferguson, but the coaches of the other three teams in the Premier League's big5 are also paying attention to the progress of Leeds United's introduction of Ronaldinho.
Everyone has seen Ronaldinho's decline over the past two years.
But he's down, he's not rotten!
Otherwise, AC Milan and Chelsea would not be stupid enough to spend money to buy it.
It can only be said that he is no longer as good as he used to be.
And there is another variable here.
Once Ronaldinho went to Leeds United.
Will he continue to decline?
Leeds United made its fortune thanks to a group of old babies, starting from scratch without a visa to now actively recruiting.
The phenomenon of rejuvenation among veterans has almost become the norm for Leeds United.
Perhaps everyone will not be too surprised when Ronaldinho's strength rises instead of falling after joining Leeds United.
But this is a disaster for the Premier League big5!
Robben is very good, but compared to Ronaldinho in his peak period, he is not on the same level.
If we look at the longer term.
Leeds United's new stadium project has broken ground, which is naturally not good news for other teams.
Ferguson's heart was heavy.
If only the Premier League pattern has changed in the past three years, then from now on, the pattern that has occurred requires other big5 teams besides Leeds United to adapt.
They now have a common enemy.
White clothes!
The excitement of today's Community Shield was lackluster, but the confrontation was fierce.
After all, it is a battle between mortal enemies.
The attitude is there, but the competitive state and strength have not kept up.
Sometimes the scene will be chaotic, but it is difficult to pose a threat to each other.
The forwards of both teams struggled.
Insufficient support and poor condition. Either they can't cooperate to pose a threat or their personal control of the ball is intercepted.
Leeds United fans also want to see the performance of new aid Neuer.
Why is the young German goalkeeper so valued by the Leeds tyrant?
Not only did he spend 3500 million euros, but he also replaced Toldo in the starting lineup today.
Neuer also wants to make his debut.
But Manchester United has almost no threat to shoot, what can he do?
You can't let your opponent score a goal to steal the spotlight, right?
But soon, his chance came.
In the regular 90 minutes, the two teams were tied!
There is no overtime in the Community Shield, it is a direct penalty shootout!
