The gap in money is very large, and Li Chengfeng can solve some of it through loans, but Birmingham is not a giant like Arsenal, and he can borrow hundreds of millions, and the majority of them still have to rely on themselves to find a way.

Li Chengfeng's plan is that Birmingham will need to earn at least €5ooo a year to solve this problem, so that the annual expenses will be kept below 100 million euros. This is not too much of a problem, with his golden eye, Li Chengfeng believes that the team can make money while relegating.

The key is still the first year, we must build a young team with enough strength, and then the reinforcement will not cost too much, and even if you can enter the European competition, it will be easier.

Li Chengfeng first figured out a way from Como, he brought back two Englishmen, McNeil and Joshua Temon, as well as Chelsea academy Ola Eena, the arrival of these three people is not only a supplement to the strength of the team, but also can meet the number of youth players required by the English Football Association. Originally, there was also Manchester United academy Zhong Tasi, but Wenger admired him very much, Li Chengfeng did not insist, the professor's opinion should still be respected, this season Como lost a lot of players, Li Chengfeng can't do too much.

There are also Soucek and Semedo who went to Birmingham, and the Birmingham squad was immediately enriched, and Li Chengfeng was full of confidence in the relegation in the new season.

There is still an important position in Birmingham that has not been solved, and that is the position of a central striker, and Como himself is still lacking a strong striker. Li Chengfeng only brought in Moroccan international center En-Siri, a non-EU player, from La Liga, for 1ooo million euros.

Then, in order to make up for the vacancy of Tahith Chung's inability to come, Birmingham spent another 7oo0,000 euros to buy Paraguay international Matthias Rojas, who has a good long-range shot and set-pieces, a good dribble, and a strong ability to move forward.

Unfortunately, the offer for Harry Wilson was rejected, and Li Chengfeng is now reluctant to invest £1oo0,000 in a player who has no superstar potential, such as Karamoko Dembele, on whom Li Chengfeng spent £8oo0,000 to bring him from Scotland to Birmingham at the age of 18.

There's also two young Chelsea players, midfielder Billy Gilmer and right-back Reece James, who spent £1ooo million in total, well, James is the addition. Manchester City's 19-year-old young goalkeeper Bazunu has only spent £5oo0,000.

This is the spirit of a wealthy family, and if you don't need it, you won't delay the future of young people, if the player plays in the future, it doesn't matter, if you have money, you can buy it back. Just like Chelsea, buying and selling Matic and then buying and selling Matic, as well as the coquettish operation of buying and selling and then buying and selling Courtois, Manchester City's 8oo sale of Sancho is not too much, and Real Madrid used to have a team that fed back a European feat. This is called a wealthy family, if you want to buy it, you can buy the brightest star, and if you sell people, you are embarrassed to bargain.

Speaking of which, Li Chengfeng is going to criticize Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, how can they now embark on the road of scratching lottery tickets, although they are scratching high-end lottery tickets like Vinicius and Callum Odoi, but what do they do to let small and medium-sized clubs that are engaged in OEM processing completely disrupt the market, despised.

With these reinforcements, Birmingham's strength has swelled all of a sudden, and Li Chengfeng is confident that they will be relegated in the new season, but there are also many people who need to leave.

The Championship and the English are completely different worlds, and many of the main players in the squad last season could only be used as substitutes in the new season, or even did not play.

Young potential players don't have to worry, Li Chengfeng will not give up on them easily until he gets the most value from them, and he needs to deal with those players who have little potential and can't establish themselves in the UK.

Gardner, who was in his playing years, chose to leave, losing his place in the Championship last season due to the arrival of Grassi, and his chances will only be fewer when the team is promoted to the United Kingdom.

Also departing were Maxime Colin, Bramall, Josh Gordon and others, whose departures brought Birmingham around £7oo million, less than a fraction of Tonali alone. The gap between the rich and the poor in the football world is too big, which also strengthens Li Chengfeng's determination to cultivate future superstars, only in this way can he have enough income to build the stadium, so he will drop Ryan Gravenberg and other young people for nearly 7ooo million euros.

In fact, Li Chengfeng still has many goals, but there are too many black shops now, and even young geniuses have been speculated to a sky-high price, so Li Chengfeng can't bear it. Especially the Portuguese and Brazilians, it is even more black, and a potential player dares to bid 5ooo million. Li Chengfeng is not a giant like Bayern and Real Madrid, and he dares to smash 4,50 million on potential players. No matter how powerful the talent is, it can't compete with all kinds of accidents, maybe an injury can make a level of genius disappear from everyone, Li Chengfeng operates with a small capital, but he can't bear this risk, and being able to gamble 120 million on a talented player is already the limit, unless these teams under his command can stably enter the Champions League, he can have enough capital to squander.

Relatively speaking, there are still Argentina, Germany and the Dutch, and Li Chengfeng is more willing to do business with them. It's just that there are so many geniuses in this world, and there are more wolves staring, and it's not as easy as it was more than ten years ago to pick up leaks on Taobao.

But now is not the time to sigh, Cuomo lost half of the team at once, and it is not easy to replenish it, even if Grassi returns, Peterson is still a lot of people behind in exchange for Como, if you can't replenish the effective manpower as soon as possible, I'm afraid that the good-natured Professor Wenger will also turn his face.

Li Chengfeng first signed Real Madrid's Odegaard, as well as Russian Suleimanov. However, these two people are soft and short, and they still need to adapt as the main force.

Li Chengfeng brought in Brazilian Roger Guedes from China. Guedes was also a very promising young player, but when he arrived in China, he was not adapted. was originally a good winger, but Luneng wanted him to play as a striker at the front, but his technical characteristics are not the material of a striker, he needs someone who can help him attract defense in order to have a better swing, so he is regarded as a parallel import. Now that he has half a year left in his contract, Shandong Luneng is not ready to renew him, Li Chengfeng sent the veteran Utkiwicz over to make a lot of money, in exchange for Guedes's early joining, and then loaned it to Cuomo.

There is also Galeno, a Brazilian from Porto, Portugal, Li Chengfeng has been seducing him for a year, if it weren't for the fact that his contract would expire with only one year left, how could the Portuguese black store not only extort 5oo million euros. Although he does not have an EU passport, he has been living in Portugal for five years and is now applying for a Portuguese passport to be able to play for Como when it is approved.

The arrival of these people has alleviated the problem of Como's lack of people on the side because of the departure of Candreva, Karamo and McNeil, but Guedes and Suleimanov are both non-EU, and Cuomo can only bring in two non-EU players from abroad every year, and this year's quota Li Chengfeng has to be reserved for Chinese players, so Suleimanov was loaned to Norka, and the Russians are not considered non-EU in Spain, which is an advantage.

Another non-EU spot, Li Chengfeng, was given to Chinese teenager Jiang Shenglong, who is tall, has an excellent header, is fast and can play multiple positions. Although it is very difficult for him to gain a foothold in Serie A with his current ability, after all, he is a tall man who can run 11 seconds in 100 meters, and now there is a shortage of people in the middle and back of Como, especially air defense, Ranocchia is indeed old, and there are many injuries, Jiang Shenglong will have a chance to play.

It's a pity that he is not the only Chinese in the five major leagues now, and Wu Lei has broken the ice before he went to Espanyol. However, Wu Lei's age is already very old, and Jiang Shenglong is the hope of Chinese football.

As for the vacancy at full-back, Como brought in German youngster Vanmanman, thanks to Mislintaat, who had his eye on the youngster when he was at Arsenal and kept in touch until he finally picked a peach for only a few million euros.

As for the strikers, there are now only three young strikers in their early 20s left, and although they are all talented, the burden of scoring goals cannot be placed on those young people. However, the ideal target is not easy to find, and the old Li Chengfeng is not interested, and he is not willing to spend more than 2ooo pounds on a player like Abraham. It's not that he's not worth it, it's just that he can't make a lot of money, and Li Chengfeng thinks it's a loss-making business.

In the end, Li Chengfeng spent 1oo million euros to buy Kosovo high school striker Vedat Muric from Turkey to make up for the lack of height in the front court, Muric has an Albanian passport and does not occupy a non-EU place. As for the rest, Li Chengfeng is going to take a look, maybe a few young people will explode this season? And this season and last season, Como's tactics will change a lot, and the requirements for the striker's scoring ability are not so high.

Last season, Como's midfield was dominated by those who were good at making cakes, such as Candreva and Caramo in the wings of crosses, and Tonali and Jordan who were good passers, and the forwards needed to be good at eating cakes. But this season, there is only one Haldane left among the few good passers, and the added Galeno, Guedes and others are better at scoring goals, and the strikers need to do more work involving cover.

The requirements are different, Li Chengfeng has not introduced a strong striker, and he hopes that someone can play these youngsters, even if it is at the expense of a year's results. As for the team's results, relegation is good, it is not difficult to do it in terms of the strength of the team, the difference is just running-in.
