Li Chengfeng looked at the bald middle-aged man in front of him, with a gentle smile on his face, and it could be seen in his deep eyes that he was a shrewd and wise person, very assertive. Although he has been away from the mainstream league for a year, he is still in good physical condition, and although he can no longer be the core of the big club due to physical reasons, he is also good enough to be a rotation player in the middle and lower teams of the Premier League.

Li Chengfeng said straight to the point; "Josep, I'm your fan, I've watched a lot of your games when you were in Barcelona. I think that the possession style of play with technical midfielders at the core is the mainstream of football in the future, and it is not the current situation where muscles are used to stifle technology, which is just opportunistic. Pushing the technique to the extreme, it is possible to restrain the muscles, like last season's AC Milan's four 10s in midfield, they successfully won the Champions Cup. ”

"Josep, you shouldn't be spending your time in the football desert of Asia. You should go back to Europe and let everyone know that you are still the elegant king and that the Barcelona tradition should be your style, the style where technique is king, not the muscle-flexing style of Louis van Gaal. ”

Guardiola was a little silent, he didn't want to say bad things about Barcelona, but he was also a little dissatisfied with Van Gaal, it was because of Van Gaal that he had to leave his beloved Barcelona club, at that time he was about to be 30 years old, and he was still the captain of Barcelona, but he was swept away in almost humiliation, which was a thorn in his heart. Van Gaal was out of class last year, and although Guardiola did not make a public statement, he was also a little happy in his heart.

Seeing that Guardiola did not have any special expression, Li Chengfeng threw out a new proposal, "Actually, I am fascinated by Barcelona's traditional pass-and-control play, and I have always hoped to implement this tactic in the team, but I have not learned Barcelona's style of play thoroughly enough." I think I've been playing for Barcelona for more than 10 years, and you must have a very thorough understanding of it at the heart of the pitch. ”

"Josep, you're 33 years old and you need to think about your future. I think you have all the qualities to be a good manager. You come to Sheffield Wednesday and you can take on a player-coach role. Let's work together to let people know that the future of football is the way to go, and let them realize that they are wrong with what they think now. ”

Pep Guardiola was impressed, and he was resentful of being swept away at the end of his prime, but the changing tide of today's football has left him skeptical that his technical midfielder is still suitable for modern football. Now hearing Li Chengfeng's words, he also has a fire in his heart, for Li Chengfeng said that the technical back is the core of future football tactics, although he still has some doubts, but Li Chengfeng's affirmation of him made him very moved. He thought that a player of his style was about to be eliminated by modern football, but he didn't expect Lee Seung-summit to value himself so much, and with this trust alone, Guardiola felt that he should not give up. And the idea of becoming a coach also makes Guardiola excited, thinking that one day he may be able to lead Barcelona as a coach to win one championship after another with a pass-and-control style of play, he feels a little excited, although the hope of this kind of thing is very slim, but it must be interesting to think about.

At this time, Guardiola would have thought that his dream would come true in the future, but Li Chengfeng achieved his goal. Pep Guardiola agreed to move to Sheffield Wednesday and even took the initiative to reduce his £15,000 weekly salary to £10,000 in order to show his sincerity. The Qataris did not set up obstacles for Guardiola's transfer, after knowing Guardiola's wishes, the wealthy Qataris agreed to the transfer without charging a penny of transfer fees, they are not short of money, but lack of connections, they also hope to be able to host the World Cup in their own country in the future, they are not stingy with such favors.

Sheffield Wednesday's boss was overjoyed to know that Lee had persuaded Pep Guardiola, and he specifically approved the move even though his salary demands broke the team's salary structure. Such a superstar, even if he has passed his prime, being able to come to Sheffield Wednesday can greatly increase the team's attention, increase the team's attendance and sales of jerseys and other peripheral products, so what's the big deal about breaking the team's salary structure for him alone? Will anyone still disagree with his status in football?

3 players have been introduced, and the team's transfer funds are still more than 800,000 yuan, and it is a little difficult to introduce high-quality players at this price, but Li Chengfeng still has a goal, that is, Aaron Lennon of Leeds United, the absolute main force of Tottenham Hotspur, a strong Premier League team in the future, and has been selected for the national team many times. It stands to reason that such a young talent will definitely not be worth the price, but Leeds United themselves are in big trouble. They failed to relegate last season and were relegated to the Championship, leaving Leeds United, who were mired in economic crisis, having to sell players to fill the hole. They even sold their home stadium this season, so you can imagine how serious their financial crisis is.

I have the impression that Lennon will join Tottenham Hotspur for a transfer fee of 1 million pounds next season, and now he is transferring a year in advance, and Lee Seung-peak feels that 800,000 pounds is enough to impress Leeds United. However, Leeds United actually rejected the offer of Sheffield Wednesday, they sold many key players this season, but the economic crisis has only eased slightly, and there is a possibility of bankruptcy at any time, and only promotion to the Premier League can be brought back to life. For the sake of this goal, they also cannot empty the team's home base. And they have already sold James Milner to Newcastle United for £5 million, and they hope Lennon can fill the void on Milner and help them get promoted to the Premier League.

Knowing that he had no chance to pick up the leak now, Li Chengfeng gave up. In the real world, Leeds United also failed to be promoted to the Premier League this season, and the financial crisis intensified, before finally selling Lennon to Tottenham Hotspur for a low price of 1 million pounds.

However, for now, Lee is not prepared to keep the transfer funds, and Sheffield Wednesday is still understaffed, and there are still many positions to be filled. As for Lennon's transfer fee, in the real world, Leeds United also insisted on the final stage and finally failed in the promotion play-offs, and at that time it was a matter of next season to buy it, and it was a waste to keep this money. However, it is necessary to think carefully about who needs to be bought, and some positions that cannot buy suitable players also need to be solved through loans.

In the new season, Lee Seung-peak decided to switch to the left-back position of Antonini. Antonini plays the position of central defender, there has always been a problem with the marking defense, and he has a strong desire to attack, and he also has a good attacking power, which is very in line with the team's requirements for fullbacks, but the team lacked a central defender before, so it had to be placed in that position, and now the team has signed Caldwell, plus Gary Cahill, enough to cope with the Championship, as long as a few more substitutes with enough strength of the central defender, Li Chengfeng feels that he does not need to worry about the defensive line.

Lee Seung-peak also has a goal in mind, and when he went to Manchester last season to observe the training of Manchester City and Manchester United, he found two young people with potential, but at that time there was a lack of transfer funds. These two players may not be able to play a regular role in a strong team, but they have the potential to develop into a Premier League-caliber rotation. Last season, neither man got any chances at their home side, and Lee felt it didn't take much money to get them.

That's exactly what happened, with Sheffield Wednesday spending just over £500,000 on Manchester City's Onuoha and Manchester United's Speckott. Lee Seung-peak is very satisfied with the success of these two players, in the real world, Onuoha can already get the opportunity to rotate in the Manchester City team this season, and even if he immediately plays the main team in the Championship, there is no problem. Although Speccote's current ability can only play as a substitute, he can play all positions in the back line is very satisfactory to Li Chengfeng, with him, Li Chengfeng does not need to introduce players in multiple positions at all, he can do it all, including the back position as a substitute for Guarin and Guardiola.

In the frontcourt, Ribery, Braten, Ederson and Cherci can share the position of three forwards, but there is a shortage of manpower, and in the forward, Holt's strength is not enough to serve as the main force, although Braten and Cherch can also play forward, but in general they still need to add 2-3 talents. However, such a person cannot be bought with Sheffield Wednesday's financial ability, and a situation like Pep Guardiola's is unattainable after all. After thinking about it, Lee Seung-feng decided to sign Belion on loan from Manchester United, and the two sides worked together very happily last season, and Bailion, who could not get a chance at Manchester United, quickly agreed to join Sheffield Wednesday on loan.

Lee Seung-bong also signed David Bentley on loan from Arsenal, who is also a talented teenager who can play on the right and in the middle, but he can't get a chance in a big team like Arsenal and has to leave in disgrace. Bentley didn't refuse to come to Sheffield Wednesday for training either, desperate to get a chance to play, and in the real world, he left Arsenal next season because he couldn't play.

With the addition of these two strong players, Sheffield Wednesday's team is also complete, except for the position of the substitute goalkeeper is difficult to find, Li Chengfeng decided not to bring in new players first, and fully prepare for the new season.
