Chapter 519 Signing and cleaning before the season [2]

Rijkaard's answer scared Li Tongfan almost to have a heart attack!
Because the targets of this shameless guy were Essien of Chelsea and Pirlo of AC Milan. Seeing Lao Li's eyebrows bouncing up and down after he said the answer, [Black Swan] said shamelessly again: "Of course, Li, you know, I'm a good talker. If you can bring Xavi from Barcelona and Mascherano from Liverpool, then I have no objection..."

Li Tongfan squinted his eyes, he realized that he was indeed a bit used to this 'hateful' Dutchman...

……

The transfer situation in European football continues to change again and again.

Real Madrid is still coquettishly leading this summer's transfer market. On June 6, the crazy Florentino completed another jaw-dropping transfer feat - 22 million pounds to introduce the head of the Red Devils Manchester United, C-Ronaldo!

As soon as the news came out, the whole world was shocked!

The Portuguese's super high net worth made him the most expensive player in the football world in history. Even Zidane, a generation of art masters, had to come second. In comparison, the 6500 million euros created by Kaka just paled in comparison...

The grand blueprint of the second generation of Galaxy Battleship has already begun to take shape!

This crazy move by Real Madrid is like a volcanic eruption erupting on the bottom of the Indian Ocean, which fully attracted a super tsunami in the transfer market in 09, followed by the Premier League upstart Manchester City——

On June 6th, Blue Moon’s money, which was almost too much to hide, finally conquered his first object. Manchester City’s official website announced that Carlos Tevez, the Argentine beast, was transferred from his rival Manchester United at a price of 24 million pounds!

Red Devils fans originally thought that Godfather Ferguson would buy out Tevez's loan contract after getting a huge sum of 8000 million pounds from the sale of C-Ronaldo. Who knew that Manchester United's stinginess caused the striker to switch to the arch-rival, and Old Trafford suddenly sounded dissatisfied...

Huge transfer news came continuously.

On the afternoon of the 24th, the official website of the Newcastle club announced that German midfielder Lukas Podolski transferred to Bayern Munich for 3000 million euros, realizing his second entry into the palace in his personal football career.

Just before the Newcastle fans digested the news, the news of the transfer hit again. Russia's [tsar] Andrei Arshavin joined the Gunners Arsenal, one of the traditional semi-finals of the Premier League, for 1800 million pounds...

Newcastle's new coach Rijkaard said in an interview with reporters that the team's transfer work is not over yet...

Some Premier League media believe that the departure of Podolski and Arshavin is surprising, because both of them made indelible contributions to the Quadruple Championships last season. After the resignation of Madman Lee, the new coach Rijkaard is working hard to build his own dynasty. Regardless of whether Newcastle will have new amazing moves in the next transfer market, the magical wings of the Madman Lee era have left St. James forever...

Some European media believe that the departure of Shevchenko, Podolski, Arshavin and others was not Rijkaard’s will. The person who operated behind the scenes was Crazy Li himself, and this is exactly what Crazy Li is.

In any case, Newcastle fans are already a little worried that the team will face multi-line battles in the upcoming season. It is definitely not a wise move to sell the main players like this...

……

A restaurant somewhere in Newcastle.

"Lucas, Andre, I am very glad that we had an unforgettable cooperation experience. I don't think anyone will forget the glory you brought to this city. I hope you can achieve more brilliant results in the new team..."

Li Tongfan raised his glass with bright red wine, sitting opposite him were Podolski and Arshavin who were about to leave Newcastle.

Clearly, this was not a very pleasant farewell party.

Podolski and Arshavin were very calm. Since they knew that the boss had resigned as the head coach, the two had already begun to think about their career choices...

Although the new coach Rijkaard was already famous in the Barcelona era, in the eyes of the players, the Dutchman does not have the invincible magic of Madman Lee. It is obviously a bit difficult to continue the glory of Newcastle last season, but they have already achieved half the fame, and the salary they get in Newcastle is not high.

Bayern's call made Podolski tempted. As a German player, Bayern's attraction is unstoppable. Moreover, the unpleasant experience in Bayern once made Podolski full of motivation to prove himself again. This is a win-win transfer!

As for Arshavin, it can only be said that after Li Tongfan left the team, Professor Wenger's affinity was too strong. The Frenchman personally lobbied many times in a row, and finally persuaded the [tsar] to let Arshavin accept Arsenal's offer...

Facing the guilty boss, the two were a little embarrassed. With the sound of clinking goblets, the two drank the red wine in the glasses, and their fate with Newcastle ended...

……

……

Time is gradually moving towards July, and the preparations for the major teams have entered a fierce battle. Newcastle has undergone a series of transfer operations during this period——

The French teenager Moussa Sissoko, who became famous last season because of Li Tongfan's virtual and new tactics, was loaned to Serie A Florence!
The Mexican striker Carlos Vela, who returned from the French Ligue [-] loan contract, did not conquer Rijkaard and embarked on the road of loan again. This time he was loaned to the La Liga Osasuna team...

Teenager Michel Manzienni does not seem to be in Rijkaard's plan either. He was loaned to the Premier League Wolves in order to get more opportunities to play...

Argentine teenager Javier Pastore has been loaned to Serie A club Palermo.

……

A series of leases made Li Tongfan almost leave the Rigburton training base for the future little monsters that Li Tongfan worked so hard to collect in the previous year!
The reason for this is simple -

Rijkaard doesn’t have anything like FM in his hands. He knows what kind of terrifying pressure he will face after taking over the position of Crazy Li. Therefore, starting from the team’s record, [Black Swan] can only vote for those old players who have proven themselves in the top league and have rich experience.

And Li Tongfan is unwilling to sell these little monsters at a low price before they have fully grown up. Therefore, renting is the most reasonable way to deal with them. It can not only allow the little monsters to get training in competitions, but also maintain ownership, which is up for sale!

……

In a blink of an eye, it was July, and Real Madrid did another big thing——

Florentino made another stab at Ferguson's heart. After snatching away C-Ronaldo, Real Madrid seduced Manchester United's prey-Ligue [-] star Benzema. Benzema became the fourth superstar to visit the Bernabeu this summer after Kaka, Albiol and C-Ronaldo!

Seeing that Real Madrid spent so much money, Manchester City finally couldn't sit still. Mark Hughes set his sights on the two restless boys in the Gunners Arsenal team-[Little Warcraft] Adebayor and central defender Kolo Toure!

However, before Manchester City could handle the two, Newcastle announced an amazing news-the introduction of Brazilian defensive midfielder Felipe Melo from Fiorentina for 2000 million euros!This transfer is the first purchase of a single player of more than 2000 million euros after Madman Li became the owner of the Magpies. It is rare for the Magpies to make a big deal!
But soon, after being generous, Newcastle quickly returned to the prototype of "small family"——

7 month 4 day.

Newcastle's official website announced that the team signed the 35-year-old Finnan central defender Sami-Hyypia (Sami-Hyypia) from Liverpool on a free transfer.This move is considered by many media as Rijkaard's move to deepen the depth of the bench. Hyypia has rich experience and can serve as a qualified substitute for Taylor and Senderos...

7 month 6 day.

Hernan Crespo, who was regarded by the media as a favorite to leave the team, finally found his next home. The Argentine striker joined the Red Devils Manchester United for 700 million euros.Ferguson took a fancy to the efficiency of Crespo's scoring off the bench, and used it to replace Tevez, another Argentine who left after the transfer!

7 month 8 day.

Newcastle has another new player. The Dutch midfielder van der Vaart, who was included in the purge list by Real Madrid, landed in England for 800 million euros and arrived at St. James' Park Stadium!

The arrival of midfielder van der Vaart means that [Black Swan] Rijkaard's required staffing is basically in place, and Newcastle has adjusted the team's focus to pre-match training and friendly matches!
7 month 10 day.

The newly joined players met with the news media in St. James, and showed their skills to the fans. Accompanied by the head coach Frank Rijkaard, they said a series of routine compliments to the new club and the outlook for the new season, which basically marked the closing of Newcastle's transfer window...

During this period of time, Li Tongfan has been reclusive and rarely appeared in front of the media. During this period, he also did one thing, which is to persuade [alien] Ronaldo, who wants to return to the Brazilian league to spend the last days of his career, to stay in Newcastle for one more season...

"...The new team needs your help, Ronnie, although I am no longer the head coach of the team, I still hope that you can stay in Newcastle at this time, even if only for one season!"

Ronaldo, who obeyed Li Tongfan's words, did not hesitate and agreed to Lao Li's request.

……

7 month 14 day.

Newcastle played their first warm-up match against Serie A team Fiorentina at home.

This game is a clause required in Moussa Sissoko's loan contract. Fiorentina sent all the main lineup. At the press conference before the game, Rijkaard expressed with confidence that the team will inherit the tradition of winning in the era of Madman Lee and dedicate a wonderful game to the fans...

At 17:00 in the afternoon, the heat of the sun dissipated, the referee whistled, and the game officially started in the anticipation of the fans! ——
Newcastle's lineup changes before the season, I spent a little time introducing them.

Because the next story will involve several new players.

This season should end soon. Lao Li's first job after returning to the position of head coach is the coach of a certain national team. You can guess that he can participate in the World Cup in South Africa!
I still want to thank the brothers for their strong support these days.
