Chapter 763 Two Superstars
Unlike the increasingly obvious competition for hegemony in La Liga, the Premier League has always been the traditional four-nation performance of the four. Second-rate giants Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa and other teams can also go crazy from time to time.
Since the crazy Li came to England four years ago, and then almost helped Newcastle, who was about to fall into the relegation zone, the pattern of the Premier League has become more chaotic.
In the previous two seasons, the former hegemon of European football, the Red Army Liverpool, has become a victim of a chaotic pattern. It has not entered the Champions League for several years in a row. The turbulence after Belitus's departure even made many people see the signs of the complete depravity of the former hegemony. Fortunately, with the club's change of owners and the past [King] Daglish's entry, a large number of Xiao generals, such as Portuguese midfielder Medles, [Rumyasu] Luis Suarez and [Bong Bear] Andy Carroll, slowly regained the upward momentum in the second half of last season.
The so-called prosperity and decline.
Compared with Liverpool's extreme, the upstart Newcastle slowly lost its previous domineering and strength with the passage of time. With the age of a large number of core players such as [Lightning Killer] Michael Owen and [Tough Guy] Alan Smith, the team's status inevitably entered a period of decline. The coach [Black Swan] Ricard tried his best to bring [The Magpie] into the European arena, and it was just the Europa League - in last season's Premier League, Newcastle failed to resist the attack of the aggressive Premier League upstart Manchester City, and lost the championship with the fifth place in the league. Military Cup qualification.
Losing the Champions League qualification for the first time in two years, putting Newcastle in all sides. The accusations of the media came like a huge wave. The stubborn club president John Henry was criticized, the team's head coach Rijkard was criticized, and the core players of the team, Owen and Alan Smith was inevitably questioned.
At this time, Newcastle inevitably entered a post-mad Lee with turbulence. Such a situation is absolutely unacceptable to the ambitious president of the club, John Henry. Therefore, in the bleak wind and rain, the reorganization of the club has been taken for granted.
Recently, news about Newcastle's signing and purge has been seen in the big and small media in England.
Adams, defender Richards and former Wolfsburg center Edin Dzeko, who lost power in Manchester City, all had an affair with Newcastle.
In terms of midfield, Inter Milan core Sneidel, Tottenham midfielder Maud Ritch, Van der Faart and others are also said to be John Henry's favorite players.
At this time, Newcastle is facing the most typical embarrassment of the post-mad Li era - losing the madman Li, the golden signboard, and losing the qualification for the next season's Champions Cup, which inevitably reduces the team's attraction to big stars, so that in terms of signings, the situation of high or low is repeated again and again - New Zealand Players who are favored by Castle and think they can bring qualitative changes to the team are not interested in Newcastle, but players who are willing to play for Newcastle lack enough fame and strength.
However, the dilemma in signing does not seem to hinder [The Magpie]'s determination to clean up players.
For a while, surprising news came from the major media - The Sun took the lead in breaking out the surprise in the latest report: "Newcastle, which is facing restructuring after the failure of the season, intends to clean up the club's logo star [Lightning Killer] Michael Owen..."
The news came out, which stunned the Premier League and even the whole European football world.
Countless people are unbelievable about the news that Owen was sold by Newcastle. But after careful consideration, I have to admit that the possible surnames, I don't know when, have become very big.
As the captain of the team, Owen has been playing in Newcastle for nearly six years. In addition to his poor performance due to injuries in the previous two years, he later flew to the sky under the madman Li's ** and burst into incredible brilliance. He scored goals in the national team and clubs, becoming the most popular in European football. One of the horrible super ace strikers. However, last season, the long-lost injury re-attacked [Lightning Killer]. Owen attended only 18 times in the whole season and scored 10 goals. He was completely recovering for more than four months in the second half of the season. According to the diagnosis of sports experts, Owen is a relapse of an old injury. Even if he comes back, he may return to 200. The glass man's state 7 years ago... Obviously, Owen's current situation moved the ambitious John Henry to sell out before the [Lightning Killer] depreciated too much, while introducing younger and more potential players.
Henry is different from his father Sir John Hall. He has always been a person who lacks humanity. In his previous experience as a successful businessman, he made Florentillo an idol. Everything has been dominated by commercial value. What's more, since the era of the madman Lee, the Newcastle Club has been cultivating youth by default. Steven Taylor, a loyal defender from the training camp, is the core of the team's future. After all, Owen is a transfer and can't represent Newcastle's tradition.
Under such circumstances, it is reasonable for Newcastle to take action on Owen.
The following situation confirms the reports of The Sun, including well-known English football media such as Times, Newcastle Post, Daily News, and authoritative football media such as French Team and German Transfer Market, all of which have reported that Newcastle wants to turn [Lightning Killer] around. News of the market, and Owen's brokerage company also admitted the news in an interview with reporters. They did receive a notice from Newcastle Club... For a while, many European clubs expressed interest in Owen.
However, there are some weak teams such as Everton, Sunderland and Blackburn. There are also teams outside England, such as Roma in Italy and Villarreal in Spain. The former wants to replace Vusinich, who is rumored to leave the team with Owen, and the latter wants to use Owen to make up for the possibility of leaving. Barcelona's Italian young player Giuseppe Rossi... Rich teams such as Manchester United, Arsenal and Inter Milan are not interested in Owen, a frequently injured and elderly striker.
............Newcastle, England is east of the city.
The Danicester Manor on the coastline is one of the most famous high-end communities in Newcastle. There are many celebrities living here, and most of the stars who play for Newcastle have also bought the industry here.
It is worth mentioning that [God on the side of the football field] madman Li also bought a villa here when he was coaching Newcastle.
Even if he left Newcastle later, Li Tongfan's villa has not been sold.
The villa area is bordered by the sea, surrounded by Newcastle's largest anti-sea dam. The tide rises and falls, and the sound of the waves is intoxicated. As long as you get out of the courtyard of the villa, you will face one of the most famous beaches in England.
Blue waves, white clouds, salty sea breezes, seagulls and distant ships... All this makes Danicester Manor not inferior to world-renowned people and resorts.
So this summer's family vacation place was selected here. In addition to Li Tongfan, Wang Qinghe and his parents, Li Tongxun also came here with his girlfriend. It is rare for the family to enjoy the wonderful time of the league members.
Because the private surname of the manor bath is better, and the secret work was also good when I came here before, even some of my best friends did not know that the madman Li came here.
Without being disturbed by the crazy paparazzi, Li Tongfan took a break and took two days to spend with his family and enjoyed the rare tranquility.
Two days later, Lao Li had to start the summer signing work.
The transfer market is strange. It is better to start first, and then suffer. If you want to introduce your favorite players, you are always facing competition from other teams, so any delay is fatal. Lao Li's first target is his neighbor.
............After the end of the season, Michael Owen did not fly to major resorts around the world to enjoy the sun, beaches and beauties like his teammates, but stayed at his home in Newcastle.
His villa is also getting up at Danicester Manor every day with the sun by the sea in the distance, running for up to 4 kilometers along the sea dam to maintain his physical competitive function. In addition, Owen also does all kinds of necessary fitness in the gym at home.
The news that the team wanted to clean up him has long been heard by his ears through the agent company. For this, Owen had no joy or sorrow. As early as last season, he felt the arrival of today. He knew very well what kind of person the club's chairman Henry was... Newcastle... It was time to say goodbye. It's time.
On the contrary, his wife Louise was very indignant about what her husband had encountered at St. James's Park. In three years, the husband scored 87 goals for [the magpie] and made great contributions. Unexpectedly, he turned against him. He was not affectionate at all. What's more, Owen is not old enough to be unable to play football?
"Michael, I think it's also a good choice to go to La Liga. Villarreal will enter the Champions League next season, at least better than Newcastle. This time they abandoned you, not you, the fans will understand you..."
In the living room, Owen, who came back from running, washed up and was having breakfast. His wife Louise couldn't help comforting her husband and tried to make suggestions.
"Eh, I have informed the agency that I will never stay in Newcastle. As for which club to accept the invitation, let's wait." Owen drank the milk from the quilt in his hand and smiled gently at his wife.
He and Louise have been together since they were 6 years old. In the ups and downs, they have been helping each other. In Owen's most difficult time, Louise has been staying by his side to comfort him. The two have created a rare childhood love fairy tale in this materialistic modern football world.
So even if Owen is in a bad mood, when facing his wife, he will always try to adjust his mood and keep smiling all the time.
The two of them were eating breakfast when a phone call came in.
Owen picked up the phone casually, listened to a few words, and his face darkened.
After hanging up the phone, Louise looked at her husband nervously and asked with concern, "Michael, did something important happen?"
Owen was silent for a moment, and then said, "The broker's phone number, Newcastle Club marked a transfer price of 20 million pounds for me. Villarreal and Rome thought the offer was too high, so they both gave up negotiations..."
"How can they do this?" Louise exclaimed, "These damn vampires... Damn John Henry, let him go to hell!"
The price is 20 million pounds?
Even if she doesn't know much about the mystery of the football transfer, Louise also knows what the value of 20 million means to Owen in the current state. Under normal circumstances, basically no ball will accept such a value. The abandonment of Rome and Villarreal is the best proof. That damn greedy John Henry is clearly going to blackmail. Most of the time, there is only one result - that is, to constantly waste Owen's good transfer opportunities. In the end, Newcastle will reduce the price based on the sale and casually deal with Owen to some bad teams... For a person who has joined '30 The player's last transfer in his career is obviously the last move. The important surname is self-evident. Newcastle Club's practice is simply to treat Owen as a money-making goods and live on the road to death.
"If they go too much, I'd rather retire!"
Owen's surname is soft on the outside and rigid on the inside. Once he is aroused, he would rather bend than bend. Louise stood up and kept her beloved husband tightly from behind. From the violently undulating chest, she could feel her husband's anger.
At this moment - Ding Dong Ding Dong Ding Dong!
The doorbell rang.
...Ten minutes later.
After sending away the most unexpected guest, Louise excitedly hugged her husband and walked around the same place. She couldn't help laughing and shouting, "Michael, you're going to Spain, you're going to Real Madrid!! Oh, hahaha, it's hard to imagine. It's wonderful! Honey, God must be blessing us, right?
Owen's eyes also flashed with an excited figure.
Through the window glass, he could also see the black figure. Four years ago, the man saved himself in despair. Four years later, this scene happened again incredulously. The golden light of the sunrise on the Newcastle coastline sprinkled over, and the fading figure was plated with half of the gold... Owen hugged his wife tightly and nodded: "Yes, honey, you're right at all. [God] has been blessing us all the time!"
... With an affirmative reply from Owen, the next work of this transfer has become very simple. With all the transfer power of Real Madrid and a transfer fee of 200 million euros, Li Tongfan spent 20 million pounds to introduce Owen, which is easy.
The next thing is for the club to talk to Owen about personal treatment.
Li Tongfan breathed a sigh of relief.
The reason why I chose the [Lightning Killer] is, on the one hand, of course, that I have been in love for Owen for a long time. My personal fans are emotionally, and I don't want the most talented superstar in England to be destroyed by injury; on the other hand, of course, there are also considerations for the formation of the team - a new team and the introduction of a direct It is that every coach can do things. The relationship between Owen and Lao Li has always been very good, and in recent years, he has been in a hot state and famous enough to be worthy of Real Madrid. Most importantly, Owen's playing style and tactical characteristics have always been the most needed candidate for Lao Li's tactical system.
What's more, Owen had a previous experience with Real Madrid, which may be able to integrate into Spanish football culture more quickly. Lao Li also hopes that [Lightning Killer] can complete the conquest again after entering the palace for the second time, so that those who laughed at him last time can pay the price and stand up again in the place where he fell with the dignity of a man!After finishing the [Lightning Killer], Li Tongfan carried out the next step of rebuilding Real Madrid in an orderly manner, and the [Dogheaded Military Division] skillfully avoided the attention of the media with Torothy Tang and drove to London, the capital of the United Kingdom.
Where is there, there is another player that Lao Li thinks can bring qualitative changes to Real Madrid - Arsenal midfielder Sesk Fabregas.
The young Toshihiko, who debuted at the La Masia Youth Training Camp in Barcelona and became famous in Arsenal Arsenal, is recognized by the world as the most likely to become another major midfield control master after [spirator] Harvey - in fact, in the past few years, Fabregas has long proved himself that he has He is recognized as a world-renowned top midfielder.
Unfortunately, Arsenal have not won the championship for years, which has worn out the last patience of the young player who longs for honor. This summer, the Spanish young player made it clear that he would leave Arsenal, and his godfather Wenger also promised not to be entangled as early as last year... Under such circumstances, Fabregas became a transfer city. The super celebrity on the scene.
Although Barcelona expressed its willingness to introduce the scattered 'pearl' two or three years ago, and the grateful Fabregas has repeatedly publicly before that Barcelona will be his first choice, the pursuit of several consecutive seasons has been fruitless, and the high transfer fee has made the wanderers return home. The wish has never been realized.
In this transfer period, although Barcelona still claims that Fabregas is one of their important signing targets, Li Tongfan, who holds the FM system, knows that the young top midfielder is getting farther and farther away from Barcelona.
Crazy Li saw the opportunity.
There is no doubt that bringing Fabregas to the Bernabeu will be a fatal blow to the team's main opponent next season.
