Chapter 1 Everton's Transfer Period

June 10, 2007 is an extremely important day for Li Yu. Today, a hearing on the labor certificate will be held in London.

Moyes, the head coach of Everton Club, accompanied Li Yu to London. This was the first time that Li Yu had seen his future head coach. The middle-aged Scotsman with a warm smile said that the Scotsman was hot, but Moyes' first impression on Li Yu was kind.

Moyes accompanied by the legal adviser of the club. This time, it mainly depends on him to help Li Yu win the labor certificate. In the whole process, as long as Li Yu answers a few questions, the rest of the work needs to be completed.

Premier League teams have been criticising this labor license policy. According to the regulations of the British Department of Labor, non-EU players introduced by British clubs must participate in 75% of the country's national team's international A-level matches in the past year, and the country's FIFA ranking is in the top 64.

According to this regulation, players like Li Yu definitely can't play in Everton, and Everton wants to apply for the 'Special Genius Clause' for Li Yu.

The club applies to the Ministry of Labor to hold a hearing. The Ministry of Labor will select a six-person jury for different labor certificate application cases. After listening to the club's statement, it will decide whether to issue a labor certificate.

Everton Club used the opportunity to have only one place a year on Li Yu.

The special genius requires the player to prove his ability in other European leagues, prepare his materials and provide a favorable witness, and then hold a hearing.

It's ridiculous that the Golden Boot of the Coppa Italia that Li Yu did not receive at all is his most powerful proof material at present, proving that the person has not appeared yet, but Everton has been contacted early in this regard and is definitely a heavyweight figure.

......

The whole hearing went very smoothly. Everton has made a lot of preparations in public relations, especially the proof person. No one expected that Moyes invited the current Manchester United head coach Alex Ferguson. Li Yu is also deeply honored to be such a heavyweight figure as a certifier. The last obstacle labor certificate of Jade Landing to the Premier League now seems to be no longer a problem.

When Li Yu answered the review questions, the reviewer did not ask any sharp questions at all, but just asked why he transferred to the Premier League. What attracts you the most about the Premier League?

After answering a piece of soup, Li Yu had nothing to do. Originally, she thought it would be like the Hong Kong series. She had to go to the witness stand to be questioned or something. A judge wore a cloak and a white wig, but the picture did not appear as expected. Li Yu was nervous for a long time.

The hearing lasted for more than 2 hours, and the results of the hearing will not be known until a week later.

However, everyone at the meeting can feel that Li Yu is about to become a full member of Everton.

As soon as I walked out of the hearing, I was immediately surrounded by various local media in the UK. In the United Kingdom, where football media is the most developed, any news about players will be reported by the media. There is no way. The people's love for football makes the media spare no effort to report. There is often some blockbuster transfer news. It is always disclosed by the British media, but it is often fake news, but there are also a lot of real inside stories about transactions in this way of reporting. The British media also has a unique skill that is to brag. Many local young players have been blown away early. This kind of fighting power is not available in any country's media. Great Britain.

"Mr. Moyes, what is the reason for buying Li Yu?"

"If this hearing is not successful, will this transaction continue?"

"Everton has been careful in the transfer market. Does the introduction of Li Yu mean that the club has changed in this transfer?"

"Li Yu was permanently abandoned by the national team. Will this affect the team's future signing work?"

There are all kinds of questions. Li Yu finally realized the power of the British media. If you don't do something in Italy, the media will not take the initiative to interview, but now many media have put forward requests for interviews. Li Yu politely refused one by one, "It seems that it is very important to deal well with the media in the UK!"

......

After basically solved the problem of Li Yu's labor certificate, Moyes shifted his energy to other transfers and began to figure out how to do the signing work for next season. No club in Europe started the transfer after the transfer door was opened on July 1. This season, the club's board of directors gave 1200W. The transfer fee of the pound has cost 500W just for the introduction of Li Yu. For the next transfer of players, Moyes had to pay careful calculations.

Arsenal are famous for being an iron rooster in the Premier League and will only buy some young players who are not worth it. Then Everton is synonymous with careful calculation. The opening stage of each season's transfer is the most painful period for head coach Moyes. The small transfer fee is better than to lack it. Moyes can only do it early. Start your own Taobao.

The first thing that needs to be added is the players in the midfield position. Moyes has circled several players.

The most sure of these players is the Danish Gravisen, the midfielder of the Scottish Premier League Celtics. The bald player, known as the "mad dog", is thick and thin. He is not only strong and has excellent running ability, but also has good passing and dribbling skills. Once in Everton, Graveson was the absolute core of the midfield. He not only took on most of the team's defensive tasks in the midfield, but also actively intervened in the attack and used passes to create threats.

After transferring from Real Madrid to the Scottish Premier League Celtics for a year and a half, Graveson has only played 29 games. It is said that the team no longer wants to pay a high salary for a substitute player. Moyes is ready to bring the veteran back to Everton, and he is not going to spend a one-point transfer fee. He has to complete this on loan. In the deal, Everton paid only 60% of Gravisen's salary at the Scottish Premier League Celtics.

Although Graveson is not at his peak now, it is still a good substitute for the team's current midfield.

There is also a player, Moyes, who is also ready to be introduced on loan, that is, South African international Stephen Pinar in the Dortmund team. Pinal was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, and can play in multiple positions as a striker, winger or winger.

He is an excellent player from Ajax's South African training camp. On February 24, 2002, he played for the domestic league for the first time on behalf of Ajax. A total of 8 goals were scored in the 2001-02 season. In the 2002-03 season, Stephen Pinal firmly occupied the core of Ajax's midfield and was selected to the South African national team for the Korea-Japan World Cup in 2002.

In 2006, Stephen Pinar announced that he would no longer renew his contract with Ajax and join Dortmund. The club hopes that he can replace Rosiccii, who transferred to Arsenal, as the core of the Yellow and Black Legion. However, the South African international's performance was disappointing, making 25 appearances in the Bundesliga throughout the season, with no goals and only one assist.

Moyes has actually observed for a long time. He sent scouts to observe Pinar's game many times and found that Dortmund made great mistakes in using Pinar, which directly led to his unsatisfactory performance in the Bundesliga. It was not Pinar's poor skill, but Dortmund's complete use of Rosiki's core battle in tactical arrangements. Pinar and Rositzki are fundamentally different. The Czechs are better at breaking through the ball and peripheral long-range shots, while Pinar is light and moves frequently, and has a strong ability to catch fighters in front of the door. He is especially good at light shooting. He is a smart front-court attacker, but his body is slightly thin and is defending against the opponent. Players often suffer losses in confrontations.

Moyes seized this opportunity and has now reached a consensus with Pinard to help him get rid of the shadow of the Bundesliga. The only obstacle is Dortmund's attitude, but Pinard is a free transfer, and Dortmund should not set up too many obstacles.

As a midfielder, Moyes has been careful to the extreme, but the defender online players are not making much progress well. The value of other famous players in the league is too high. It's not bad to buy a 1200W transfer fee. Such a transfer fee can only allow him to choose a young defender in the United Kingdom. Originally, several players The more promising players are either too high or won by the four giants. In fact, there are not many people to choose from in England, and the value of English players is generally high. It is not easy to find a player with reasonable price and outstanding ability.

In terms of player transfer, the team's No. 2 striker Beatty is now discussing the transfer. The player, who spent 600 million pounds on Everton's transfer fee, only scored a poor 2 goals in 33 games last season, and he did not want to play as a substitute, so he only has the option to transfer. Fortunately, the Football League Championship team Sheffield United is interested in introducing the player who forgot to bring shooting boots. The two clubs are discussing, but the transfer price must be much different from the transfer fee he originally joined.

Richard Wright was a substitute goalkeeper for a season and only played once. After his contract expires at the end of June, he will automatically terminate the contract and find a team that can give him more opportunities to play.

Fernandez's loan expired and has returned to the Portuguese Super Benfica.

The transfer of these players does not have much impact on Everton's combat strength. Biti's departure from Everton has bought Li Yu. The substitute goalkeeper can be visa-free or a player can be transferred to the reserve team. It can be said that so far, Everton's signing work has progressed relatively smoothly. On July 1, Li Yu can officially add At that time, there should be no problem for Graveson and Pinal.
