Chapter 117: Finalizing the Transfer
The matter of Leeds United's transfer to Lu Feng was basically confirmed after a conversation with Zhao Lang.
The rest of the matter is not a big deal.
Originally, the biggest difficulty for Lu Feng to transfer from Santos to Leeds United was that Lu Feng himself was unwilling, but now that Lu Feng is willing, the rest will be simple.
After Leeds United proposed to put the transfer of Land Breeze in the winter transfer window, Santos agreed without hesitation. What they want is money, as long as Lu Feng can sell it at a high price, even if Lu Feng leaves two years later, they are willing. Of course, in terms of transfer fees, Santos has added a little more.
However, this is not a big problem for Leeds United, who have agreed to Santos' request for an increase in the transfer fee.
In the end, because of the successful conversation between Lu Feng and Zhao Lang, it became a situation where all three parties were happy. Leeds United got the Land Breeze, Santos got the money, and the Land Breeze got the high salary and the opportunity to stay in Brazil and fight Bemi.
And Land Breeze transferred from Santos to Leeds United for a transfer fee of 560W euros. This price makes Lu Feng at least one of the second-tier players in terms of value. As for wages, compared to Lu Feng in Santos, it has increased by at least ten times.
Of course, throughout the transfer process, at the strong request of Lu Feng, Santos and Leeds United remained silent and did not make the news public.
Therefore, when the Brazilian media was still boiling speculation about the transfer of Land Breeze, Santos officials finally belatedly issued an official statement.
The first is the announcement of two transfers that have already been confirmed. One is Silva's transfer to Championship side Leeds United for 10 million euros, and the second is Alberto's transfer to Eredivisie side PSV Eindhoven for 700,000 euros.
As for the transfer of Lu Feng and other Santos players, Santos officially refuted all rumors.
There is not much belief in Santos's official refutation of rumors. After all, in the transfer process, it is already the norm for the club to hide from the fans and the media, and if the club can believe what it says, there will not be so many sensational transfers in world football.
In the afternoon of the same day, a blockbuster news about the transfer of Land Wind also broke out, which was also a local website called Hot Football in Santos.
"Surprise! Landwind 500W euro sky-high transfer to Leeds United
The hot football website mentioned in the transfer news that Leeds United originally planned to directly package Santos and Silva and Land Breeze for 1,500W euros. Santos has accepted the offer, Silva has also agreed to join Leeds United, while the remaining Land Wind is reluctant to join Leeds United.
However, Lu Feng's own will did not have much effect. Lu Feng's beautiful agent, Annina, has long been bought by Leeds United. Lu Feng's agent Anina and Santos Club put pressure on Lu Feng, coupled with the lure of Leeds United's high job price, Lu Feng had no choice but to agree to the transfer.
However, at present, the two sides are still divided on the status of the team after Lu Feng joined Leeds United, and the transfer is still some time away from being finalized.
Others have witnessed Leeds United's mysterious Chinese boss meeting with Lu Feng and his agent, believing that the two sides are genuinely exchanging views on the issue. Perhaps, because the Leeds United boss and Lu Feng are both Chinese, the two sides can quickly reach a tacit understanding and quickly finalize Lu Feng's transfer.
The last time the hot football website reported the news of the transfer of Santos Silva and Alberto, many people thought that the website was just grandstanding, how could a player like Silva join a Championship team. But in the end, after the official announcement of the transfer, the hot football website instantly became popular in Brazil.
This time, the hot football website continued to report the news of Lu Feng's transfer, and also attached several photos of Lu Feng and Zhao Lang entering and leaving the same café, which made many people believe the news.
As a result, this transfer news was reprinted by various domestic media in Brazil, and the transfer news of Landwind, which had already begun to cool down, was hyped up again.
At the time of the domestic speculation in Brazil, some Chinese media that paid attention to Lu Feng also reprinted the news in China. For a while, rumors about Land Wind's transfer to Leeds United intensified, and many people believed the news.
At this time, Lu Feng, as a party concerned, had to come out to refute the rumors. Lu Feng first denied his transfer to Leeds United, and said that his contact with Leeds United boss Zhao Lang was only a personal contact, and he did nothing else. At the same time, Santos also helped Land Breeze refute the rumors, denying accepting Leeds United's offer, and the rumors of Land Wind's transfer finally calmed down a lot.
The next day, Santos, who were plagued by transfers, ushered in an important match, away to Cruzeiro.
Cruzeiro is not weak and has been in good form recently. Santos, on the other hand, has been plagued by transfer news recently, with many players out of shape. Due to Santos' recent strength, many people hope that Santos will lose, but many are unsure whether Cruzeiro can successfully snipe Santos' good momentum at home. It's hard to say how this game will be won or lost.
..
On the day of the race, the temperature was very low and there was a drizzle in the sky. During the warm-up, many of the players who took off their coats were shivering from the cold. On Santos's side, the players were cowering from the cold, and the warm-up movements were slowly swallowed, and assistant coach Pedro yelled for everyone to fully warm up.
If you don't warm up enough, you will be prone to injury in the game later, and everyone understands this truth. It's just that if it's too cold, everyone doesn't want to move.
It was easy to warm up, and when the game started, the players still felt very cold.
A whistle blows, and the game begins.
Cruzeiro won the right to pick the edge and Santos got the kick-off.
However, some of the pre-match media predictions seemed to have come true, with Santos' players clearly out of shape after the opening kick-off, and the first attack came to an end in a hurry.
The absence of the Santos players was felt the most by the Cruzeiro players at the stadium. Both offensively and defensively, the Santos players seem to be a beat slower.
In the 9th minute, Cruzeiro took the lead in the scoring.
This goal was not because of how beautiful and smooth the coordination between the Cruzeiro players was, but more because of the mistakes of the Santos players. When the opposing striker Lielong was running, the captain of the central defender, Anderson and Alex, subconsciously thought that the opponent would defend, but Cruzeiro striker Lielong easily received the ball without being marked and hit the ball into the goal.
Cruzeiro's Estadio Mineiro instantly became a sea of jubilation.
On the sidelines, Curry's brow furrowed, muttering to himself.
"It seems that the form of these players has really suffered."
