legendary midfielder

Chapter 64

Just when Soros was full of ambition to win Zhang Xu, Zhang Xu's brilliant performances in a row not only conquered the Blade fans, but also attracted the attention of many clubs.

In order to make a comprehensive and accurate evaluation of Zhang Xu, many clubs arranged their scouts to come to Sheffield United to learn about Zhang Xu's actual situation and game status at close range.

Among these clubs, there are the English Championship, the Ligue [-], the Scottish Premier League, etc., and there are even Premier League teams and Bundesliga teams.

Among them, if anyone is the most active, it is probably the Crystal Palace team in the British Championship.Originally they were the one closest to Zhang Xu, but they gave up competing for Zhang Xu because they could not meet Zhang Xu's requirements for the main players.

But now it seems that Zhang Xu is indeed a rare treasure!

After joining Sheffield United for three months, he has already become the absolute main force of the team, and his ability is the best in the League One. Even in the Championship, he is a very good player. If you count the abnormal physical fitness, no Championship team will reject such an excellent player.

It's okay to have outstanding ability, but Zhang Xu's potential is really too great.From an amateur player, it took less than a year to grow to the point where he can gain a foothold in the English Championship. With such a growth rate, it is conceivable that he will definitely become a superstar in the top league in the near future. Even if he does not reach the level of Messi and Ronaldo, he will definitely not be far behind.

In addition, Zhang Xu has been firmly established as the main force in League One and has shown strong abilities. After contributing assists and goals for the team many times, his reputation has been completely popular in China, and there are hundreds of thousands of fans!Such a huge Chinese market, no matter which club it is, cannot be easily ignored.

Therefore, now Crystal Palace is so regretful that its intestines are green.

The 2011-2012 season is coming to an end. In line with the principle of first strike first, Crystal Palace was the first to inquire about Sheffield United.

However, Zhang Xu has become the star and absolute main force of Sheffield United. Neither the club chairman nor coach Wilson has the idea of ​​selling Zhang Xu, let alone to a team that is likely to be the opponent next season.

Therefore, Sheffield United directly replied to Crystal Palace that Zhang Xu was not for sale.

After Crystal Palace received the reply, they did not give up because of this. They no longer inquired, but sent scouts to closely observe Zhang Xu's performance, while directly asking Sheffield United for £100 million.

It took Zhang Xu less than three months to go from 50 euros to 100 million pounds!Of course, the £100 million is not Zhang Xu's real value.

Sheffield United once again dismissed Crystal Palace's offer and stated their attitude again.

Crystal Palace is keenly aware that this time Sheffield United's rejection is not as straightforward as the first time, and it seems that there is still hope.

But this time Crystal Palace is not in a hurry to bid, and he intends to whet the appetite of Sheffield United.

Let's not talk about how Crystal Palace stimulated the appetite of Sheffield United.Other clubs interested in Zhang Xu also started to take action.

On April 4th, the second day after Sheffield United beat visiting Bournemouth 8:3 at home, coach Wilson sat on an office chair with a tangled face, and the desk in front of him was full of various quotation forms.

On March 3, Crystal Palace offered £20 million to buy Zhang Xu;
On March 3, the British Championship Birmingham offered 24 pounds to buy Zhang Xu;
On March 3, League One Charlton offered £27 to buy Zhang Xu;
On March 3, the British Championship Bolton offered £31 million to buy Zhang Xu;
On April 4th, the Ligue 4 Lille team offered 100 million euros to buy Zhang Xu;
On April 4, Bundesliga Frankfurt offered 4 million euros to buy Zhang Xu;
On April 4, Bundesliga Dortmund offered 6 million euros to buy Zhang Xu;
On April 4th, the Celtics of the Scottish Premier League offered 7 million euros to buy Zhang Xu;
Just at 08:30 this morning, the club received another offer. It turned out to be Deportivo, who was still in West Second Division, and offered 120 million euros to buy Zhang Xu.

West Division team?So what if you were once a Super Deportivo?How could my disciple still go to the second-tier league to work hard?Wilson scoffed at Deportivo's offer.

However, so many offers really gave Wilson a headache.From this point of view, Zhang Xu's performance has attracted too many people's attention. I am a small League One, oh no, soon it will be a football club in the English Championship. It is very likely that I will not be able to retain this future superstar.

In fact, it is not impossible to keep Zhang Xu forcibly, but the club chairman will definitely not agree.Why?Very simple, at the beginning of the season, in order to ensure the normal operation of the club, the club chairman borrowed 3800 million pounds!
3800 million pounds!This is not a small number!

This number is like a big mountain, firmly pressing on the hearts of everyone in Sheffield United, especially the club chairman. As long as he can make money now, he will try his best to do it.

Today, the quotations on Wilson's desk were brought here by the club chairman for the purpose of showing them to Wilson, and the meaning of them is self-evident.

And this is where Wilson has the most headaches.After Zhang Xu became the main force, Wilson was no longer worried about the instability of the defense for the first time. Now, in order to ensure the club's financial chain, he had to sell the most convenient players in Wilson's hands. This made Wilson feel like cutting his heart.

Well, since it's going to be sold, let's sell it at a high price!Otherwise, I am sorry for the special genius clause that the club used for Zhang Xu!

After making up his mind, Wilson was much more relaxed and no longer entangled with Zhang Xu's problems. Anyway, there is still a long time before the transfer market opens, which is enough for Zhang Xu to play all the games before the end of the season.

After happily signing "rejected" at the back of all the offers, Wilson threw the offers back on the table in a good mood.

Hmph, let's grab it slowly!I will not sell my precious Zhang to you so easily!

Of course, Wilson's refusal did not extinguish the desire of many clubs to compete for Zhang Xu. On the contrary, with Zhang Xu's performance, he became more and more eager.

On April 2012, 4, Sheffield United challenged Rochdale in an away game. Zhang Xu made his debut again and performed very well. He not only blocked all the attacks of Rochdale with his solid defense, but also assisted his teammates twice and scored a goal himself.

This goal was scored by Zhang Xu with his head. When Michael took a corner kick, he went forward at high speed from the edge of the penalty area, and then leaped high, overwhelming all the players to hit the football. The football flew into the net at once, and the opponent's goalkeeper only had time to raise his hands.

This goal once again demonstrated Zhang Xu's outstanding sense of grabbing points, superhuman jumping ability and strong desire to attack.

Everyone who saw this goal had to applaud Zhang Xu's outstanding performance.And the scouts of the major clubs also truly recorded Zhang Xu's dazzling moment, and sent back detailed information about Zhang Xu's game to their respective clubs.

In the end, Sheffield United beat their opponents 5:0 and won three points again.

On April 4th, Sheffield United played against Leyton Orient at home.

Zhang Xu continued his legend. With his unbreakable defense, Leyton Orient's offensive players had no choice but to look at Sheffield United's goal with regret.

In the end, Sheffield United beat their opponents 2:0.

On April 4, Sheffield United challenged Milton Keyes away.

Milton Case's performance this season is still good, and currently ranks fifth in points. If nothing else, he can also enter the promotion play-offs.

Therefore, this game is very important to Milton Keyes, and the whole team has a strong desire to win.

This put tremendous pressure on the away team of Sheffield United, especially Zhang Xu, who had to give up his desire to attack and devote himself to defense because of the stormy attack of the opponent.

With the efforts of Zhang Xu, Sheffield United withstood Milton Keyes' crazy attack, and finally the two sides shook hands 0:0.

After this game, Sheffield United's league points reached 93 points, ranking No.2.He is 1 points away from No.2 Charlton and 3 points away from No.6 Sheffield Wednesday.With only the last two games left in the league, Sheffield United has basically locked in the qualification for the Championship.

However, if Sheffield United does not win a game in the last two rounds, and Sheffield United wins two games in a row on Wednesday, then the two teams will have the same league points, so it is difficult to predict who can directly advance.

Therefore, the next 45th round of the league is particularly important.

However, at this critical moment, something unexpected happened.

On April 4, a news report shocked all Blade fans!

"Many clubs are asking for high prices, the Chinese Zhang is about to leave Sheffield United! "

This is a piece of news published in the "Sheffield Sports Express", which claims that, according to relevant personnel of Sheffield United, from March to April, a total of ten clubs have sent quotations to China Zhang.

The report also claimed that the club chairman and the team coach, Mr. Wilson, have reached an agreement to sell China Zhang at a high price this summer in order to obtain corresponding funds to repay the high loan.

As soon as this report was published, it immediately aroused strong reactions from Blade fans.

If we say who is in the most stable state of the team, who plays the most important role in the team, and who can help the team at a critical moment, then it must be "Warcraft" Zhang.

Under such circumstances, the club even wants to sell the "Warcraft" Zhang. Isn't this dismantling itself?

Although the fans didn't believe it, they couldn't help but not believe what the report said. Therefore, countless Blade fans came to the gate of the club to verify the authenticity of the report.
