Lee Seung-bong was hoping to swap players, but he took a fancy to Real Madrid's Sneijder. Real Madrid has made a lot of money this season, they have introduced Cristiano Ronaldo for 95 million euros and Kaka for 65 million euros, plus Benzema for 35 million euros, Las Diarra for 20 million euros, Albiol for 15 million euros, and other bits and pieces of players, adding up to more than 250 million euros, which is really a crazy number.

However, the transfer of players is also crazy, one Ibrahimovic sold 70 million euros, plus 15 million euros of Huntelaar, 15 million euros of Negredo, and others, also recouped 120 million euros, if not cheap, they could have recovered more. Sneijder, the widow of former Real Madrid president Calderón, is also on the purge, and Real Madrid are willing to throw him out in a player swap.

However, Sneijder was reluctant to leave Real Madrid, stubbornly turning down all transfer offers in an attempt to impress new manager Manuel Pellegrini with his performances, and Real Madrid eventually paid cash for Las Diarra. Even so, Real Madrid were determined to clean Sneijder, taking back Sneijder's number 10 shirt and then his closet in the dressing room in an attempt to force him out.

Sneijder eventually gave in and agreed to leave Real Madrid and come to Inter Milan for 15 million euros. However, this was already after the start of the new season, and before that, in order to make up for Diarra's loss, Inter Milan bought Muntari from Portsmouth in the Premier League as a replacement for Mascherano. Inter Milan, who have completed the player changes, is stronger than last season, and what was lost last season, Lee Seung-peak wants to get it back.

In the real world, Cuomo also has some players leaving, and in addition to players whose loan has expired, Lee Seung-peak has also received several offers. Cuomo had a good season last season, and many of the players in the team were favored by the transfer market, but Lee Seung-bong will not sell players casually, and those potential rookies who can sell them for a higher price if they can train in Serie B for a year, he will not sell them for cabbage prices now.

However, it is not without satisfactory offers, such as the team's main striker, Jack Marriot, who scored 33 goals last season, and Derby County in the Championship are willing to bid £3 million to bring the youngster back to England who is not yet 24 years old.

However, this is not the highest offer, and a club from China has also taken a fancy to this striker who can score goals.

Since the beginning of this year, the country knew that there is such a Chinese owner-controlled team is expected to be promoted, the Como team has gained a certain amount of exposure in the country, Jack Marriot as the team's leading goalscorer, has also gained the attention of some Chinese clubs, they are very interested in this very goal-scoring striker, after Como locked the promotion place, their offer of 5 million euros is more than one million higher than the price of Derby County, which is very exciting for Li Chengfeng.

However, Li Chengfeng does not think that Mariott is suitable for Chinese football, and Chinese football clubs are more suitable for those South American players to pan for gold, they have better technical and personal ability, and can rely on individual ability to solve problems alone, which is different from European players who pay more attention to teamwork. A player like Mariott needs more team cooperation to play his fast and superb shooting skills, but in a football environment like China, his shortcomings in ball control will be exposed, and he is not the kind of player who can solve problems alone.

However, Li Chengfeng was still moved, and the difference of more than 1 million euros allowed him to buy a few geniuses who had not been discovered. And he is really short of money now, and he doesn't feel at ease enough to run a Serie B team without 7 or 8 million euros, even if he sells Jack, he can barely make ends meet.

Lee hesitated, monetically he should sell Mariott to China, but that could hurt his football career. Marriott's career was similar to that of Jamie Vardy, who was abandoned by professional teams in his early years, working his way up in the amateur league before establishing himself in the fourth tier. Lee Seung-bong brought him from England to Italy, paired him with the right team-mates, and with tactical support, he had a burst last season and is only now valued by teams in England's second tier.

A team that started in the amateur league, fought for several years, and was finally favored by the team in the secondary league, is it very similar to Vardy, the spiritual idol of Lee Seung-bong? Li Chengfeng couldn't bear to throw him into the football wasteland of China to suffer.

Lee Seung-bong finally decided to give the choice to Mariott himself to see what he would choose, is it the pursuit of money? Or do you follow your ideals?

In the end, Marriott chose to return to England, and he chose the ideal. Li Chengfeng felt both relieved and a little regretful about this, but since he had already made his choice, Li Chengfeng would only wish him good luck.

After finalizing the transfer of Marriott, Li Chengfeng has more than 7 million euros at his disposal, plus about 4 million euros in the broadcast share of Serie B next season, which is barely enough to run a Serie B team, but it is difficult to strengthen the team. The cost of a Serie B team is much higher than that of a Serie C team, and Li Chengfeng understands why Coach Xu Genbao wants to give up Norka, and it is too difficult to maintain the cost of a team purely by personal investment. However, we must not strengthen the team, otherwise relegation is a matter of chance at the end of the season.

Li Chengfeng started the introduction of players early, but the results were not great, especially in the competition for free agents, Como contacted many players, but unfortunately most of them failed. A Serie B promotion horse is not attractive, and Li Chengfeng does not have the financial resources to smash people with money, and he can't look down on those who can't do it, so he can only try to pick up the leaks.

For example, 29-year-old Croatian left-back Hvoye Milic, who played for Napoli in Serie A last season but failed to get a chance to play and was unable to get a new contract when his contract expired, is still hesitating.

There is also the 21-year-old former Bayern youngster Gaudino, who moved to Chievo in Italy last year but was unable to gain a foothold. He has potential and ability, but he has a fatal flaw, his body is too poor to fight. It is not without such players before, such as Marco Marin, who is also a German, although Marin can only play in the second division now, but Como is only a Serie B team. For the sake of his potential, Li Chengfeng was still moved, and he sent an invitation to Gaudino.

Also in a similar situation is 25-year-old Spanish centre-back Derek Osed, whom was recommended by Lee's partner in the UK. His contract with Championship Bolton Wanderers expired this summer, and he was tired of being relegated every year and did not opt to renew his contract. However, he would prefer to return to Spain to find a La Liga team willing to accept him, and some do not look down on Como, a promoted team from Serie B. However, Li Chengfeng does not want to give up yet, free and powerful players are not easy to find, he pays attention to the movements of Osside to see if there is a chance.

There is also Chinese teenager Li Tenglong, who was spotted by chance in Milan by chance, when he was trying out for the Milan Under-17 youth team, but could not stay. He has potential, better than the vast majority of Chinese players, but not to the standards of AC Milan, so Li Chengfeng kept him on an academy contract.

Li Chengfeng, who was busy for Como, received an unexpected call at this time, from the old handsome Xu Genbao. On the phone, he asked Li Chengfeng if he was willing to take over the Norka Club, as long as he paid a symbolic 1 yuan.

Li Chengfeng was shocked, even if Norka was relegated from La B A, there would be no problem selling millions of euros, even if the club still has hundreds of thousands of euros in debt, it will not be to the extent of giving it away in vain. What happened made Xu Genbao desperate to do this.

From the mouth of the old coach, Li Chengfeng learned that Xu Genbao's transfer of the Norka club was interfered with by the Norka government, and several transfers were unsuccessful, until finally a local businessman was willing to bid 250,000 euros to buy the relegated club.

But Xu Genbao didn't want to, he was cheated so badly by the Norka people, they still wanted to pick up cheap, how could they bear it, so he asked Li Chengfeng if he was willing to take over, as long as 1 yuan.

Li Chengfeng hesitated, his funds didn't seem to be enough for him to operate two clubs, especially if there was also a second-tier club. Even if Jack sells for a high price, even if the broadcast share of the two clubs is added, the total budget of 12 million euros is indeed a little less, maybe a little savings can be maintained, but there is little room for maneuver to strengthen the squad.

But it's a great opportunity, and probably the only chance to get a club like this at such a low price. In addition, although the football environment in Spain is not as good as that of England and Germany, it is still much better than Italy.

On another note, he also needs a team like Tao Qianglong, Jiang Shenglong, and Li Tenglong, who are not capable of playing at the level of Serie B, and their non-EU status also prevents them from playing for Como.

Unlike Italy's lower leagues, which do not allow the introduction of non-EU players from abroad, Spain's professional leagues allow each team to field three non-EU players in the tournament, and there are no restrictions on the amateur leagues, and the matches that Norka and his second team can play in La B and La C are just the right time for them to practice.
