Spaniards Pautista and Comesania returned to Spain, while Englishman Harry Dean returned to England for just over £1 million. As for the Germans Wenzheimer and Fabian Benchui, one went to the Bundesliga and the other to Croatia, and their development was almost at the end, and they still failed to gain a foothold in the top league after all, but it was good to be able to exchange it for 3 million euros.

In terms of reinforcements, the backline is naturally a top priority. The already poor defense line is even more miserable after Harry Dean left, even in La Liga, which is ordinary, not to mention that it is now La Liga.

Li Chengfeng bought Argentine centre-back Lisandro Martinez under the name of Birmingham and then loaned him to Norca, who will become the heart of Norca's defence. Martinez has all the qualities of a good centre-back, fast, defensive, accurate positioning, tough style, and the ability to kick the ball out of the line, able to attack from the back, is a very modern centre-back, except for his height. With a height of 1.78 meters and a not-so-outstanding bounce, he has weaknesses in the defense of high-altitude balls, which may be a hidden danger. But Li Chengfeng didn't care, if he didn't have such a defect, he would have been discovered by the giants a long time ago, and it would be Birmingham's turn. Besides, 6 million euros can get such a defense commander, what else is there to complain about, the problem of air defense, just find him a few good partners with good headers.

Other players Li Chengfeng are not so concerned, in addition to tapping those young talents, other reinforcements are mainly through loan Dafa. Even so, Li Chengfeng still wants to make a profit, he loaned some Mesozoic players who are far less valuable than their strength through loan and conditional buyout, and can sell them to make some money after they hit the price. There is no way, with Nolka's revenue capacity, it is simply impossible to maintain a La Liga-level team, Li Chengfeng doesn't want to subsidize too much on Norka, and Birmingham is still waiting for money to build a new stadium.

So Rivera, Facundo Garcia, Fernandez, Rodrigo Tallinn, Akimo and others came to Norca, all on loan plus buyout clauses. There are also goalkeeper Lunin and striker De Tomas on loan from Real Madrid, and Norka's recruitment has been completed.

Norka has also grown significantly after the loan and introduction of these powerful factions, although there is still no hope of competing for European qualification, but it is still a notch better than the relegation team, and the extent to which it can be done depends on the level of the manager. Although Li Chengfeng is not optimistic that Gao Feng can coach a La Liga team, but even if it is relegated, it is not a big deal, anyway, there is not much investment, most of those players on loan are conditional buyout clauses, relegation will be bought out, if relegation is not lost, when it comes to prostitution, the Spanish team has also done too much.

Como's transfer is not complicated, Semedo left this season, and the short life in England has made him miss the glamorous life again, and a town like Como is really not where he wants to be. And his conformity and excellent performances in recent years have also brought him back to the attention of the mainstream leagues. Li Chengfeng sold him for £8 million, which is far less than his normal value, which is also due to the bad reputation caused by his crazy behavior in the past. And the retirement of Ranocchia has left Como's backline with only Tonelli and Van Hesden, the old and the young, not counting Jiang Shenglong.

Como spent a non-EU spot to buy Brazilian defender Marco from Turkey and then recalled Lucas Mai to fill the vacancy at centre-back.

Cuomo has not left many of his main players this season, except for Semedo who is Bravo. Bravo's performances in the league and Europa League have been excellent in recent seasons and have attracted the attention of many big clubs.

Bravo is extremely fast, tough, both offensive and defensive, and has a dragon on the wing, reminiscent of Robert Carlos, who was also a small man in the past, and even better defensively. Of course, there is also a gap in offense, especially in finishing ability, which is quite different. Carlos's shooting ability is not something that ordinary people can do, just look at his thighs.

However, Bravo still showed extraordinary talent, especially after Arsene Wenger transformed him into a wing-back and arranged for someone to wipe his butt, and he performed like a world-class star, even after Como's results slipped last season.

In the end, Manchester United got him and paid £40 million to replace Luke Shaw, who was seriously injured again. Considering that a few years ago, when Li Chengfeng brought him from Argentina to Italy, he only spent 1 million euros, which is really more profitable than business.

The Como team also left the rotation of right-back Victor Garcia, the rotation of midfielder Grassi, and the main midfielder Jordan, the three of them combined for only 40 million pounds, and Bravo is more than one person, and people are really different.

Tahith Chung also went to Birmingham, where he was an Academy graduate for Manchester United, and in the context of Brexit's policy, where he could sell for a higher price, Li Chengfeng decided to bring him to Birmingham to gild and let the Premier League side see his ability up close.

Of course, other people in Cuomo have also received offers, but now that Li Chengfeng's vision is high, unless it is an irresistible price, or the potential has been exhausted, he will not sell.

Overall, there have been few changes to Como this season, with a few additions to be brought in, and with the development of young players in the squad, there is hope that the new season will be ready to make a splash at Europe.

Birmingham are not complicated either, with the exception of two key rotation players, Pautista and Komesanha, who returned to Spain on loan, and the main player, Ola Ena, who was poached. Chelsea failed in the race for Bravo and then poached their former Academy players from Birmingham City for £26 million.

Li Chengfeng's position quickly changed in front of 26 million pounds, 26 million pounds is enough to find a few more replacements, and a few more such deals, the construction of a new stadium will only be completed.

The arrival of Tahith Chung also left veteran Joe Lawley with fewer opportunities to play, with Lee letting him go and recovering £3 million. Mustafa Kapi lacked opportunities and also went to Norka to train, and the Turk's lack of a non-EU place in Spain is an advantage.

As for other people's offers, Li Chengfeng refused. Birmingham's overall performance last season was not good, and the players had not yet played their value, so Li Chengfeng was reluctant to release him cheaply. This group of players basically has a few years left on their contracts, and Li Chengfeng is not worried that they will risk leaving cheaply.

After some unknowingly operated operations, Li Chengfeng found that he had a balance of more than 200 million pounds, and the cost of building the stadium had been solved by half. And in terms of loans, with the club's ticket revenue, it can solve a 10-year low-interest loan of 100 million pounds, and only needs to repay less than 15 million pounds a year.

£15 million, it's not a problem at all, as long as Birmingham can stay in the Premier League, they can earn it back with just the shirt. Li Chengfeng has reached a sponsorship contract with a domestic brand, and Li Ning will become the jersey supplier for Birmingham, Como and Norka, and will receive 10 million euros of sponsorship from Li Ning every year. Combined with the income from jersey advertising, it adds up to more than 20 million euros per year, and as the results improve, there are bonuses.

In addition to these, these three teams can bring at least 250 million euros in annual revenue such as broadcast fees and tickets, of which Birmingham account for 150 million, which is much more than the other two combined, and the Premier League teams have a strong ability to attract money.

Of course, the cost is also huge, with several teams adding up to 150 million euros in salaries and other expenses alone, and it will only increase.

The Emirates Stadium in Arsenal took three years to build and cost almost £500 million. Although Birmingham is not as expensive as London, it is not much less expensive to take into account inflation. In this way, I am afraid that not only will I not be able to invest in the next year, but I am afraid that I will have to sell people to maintain it, and the pressure on relegation will be too great.

And as Li Chengfeng, who is inspired to build a black store, how can he have the opportunity to sell people without spending money to buy people. If you don't buy in the combat power, you can produce results only with young talents? It's impossible, it's not a game, Monaco almost played this way and was relegated. What's more, there is still a risk of injury, and once Birmingham fails to be relegated, it means that everything is over, Li Chengfeng doesn't want to let his years of hard work go to waste because of some accidents, and he can't help but be uncautious.

However, Li Chengfeng still has the means, he can make him one or two hundred million by taking out loans to develop old stadiums and do real estate business, just like Arsenal did a few years ago.

Li Chengfeng pondered for a long time, repeatedly reviewed the plan for the new stadium, and finally decided to give it a go. He used the property development plan of the old stadium to make a 10-year low-interest loan to get 100 million pounds, and although the loan was more than 10 million pounds a year, he hopes to complete the construction of the new stadium while strengthening the team and doing his job as a black shop. He doesn't believe that with his golden eye ability, as well as the coaching ability he has developed in the CM world, he can't even do this, not to mention that Birmingham FC is also one of the best youth training institutions in England, and also has one of the best youth directors in England, Karl Hooper.

Once the determination is made, Li Chengfeng feels relaxed, and perhaps making a decision is the most difficult thing.

Although the risk is very high, once successful, the benefits are even greater, and the income from the match day alone may be tens of millions of pounds more per year, and it will not be a problem to feed a Norka.

In addition, Birmingham, as the second largest city in England, has only two Premier League teams, Birmingham and Wolves, without a giant, which is also incredible, and Birmingham has the opportunity to become the only giant in this big market.
