After a perfect season, Li Chengfeng felt that he could relax a little. He doesn't need to prove anything anymore, and he can collect points in both the CM world and the real world, which also makes him no longer have the pressure to survive. Maybe when the new stadium is built, it'll be time to enjoy life, and maybe you can retire early if you work hard.

Li Chengfeng has the idea of staying in Manchester City, and with a super platform like Manchester City, he can have a lot less pressure on points in the real world.

However, some things still made him give up the plan to renew his contract. There was a general manager who was unwilling to cooperate, which added a lot of trouble to his peace. Like Lewandowski's transfer to Bayern, forget it, after all, he wants a main position, which he can't get at Manchester City. But what do they want to put Suarez to Barcelona, to give back to the old master?

Li Chengfeng hurriedly came back from the holiday to stop the transfer, and had a big fight with Soriano and took back the transfer power. Li Chengfeng still wants everything this season, how can he agree to let go of the main players.

Li Chengfeng looked at the transfer plan provided by the transfer department, and was angry, this kind of introduction of less than 10 million euros is the person needed by a club of Manchester City's level? Or do they feel they have the ability to treasure with a golden eye?

That is, Sanir, who is a free agent, is not bad and can make up for Manchester City's lack in this position. The injury situation at the current stand-up right-back is so serious that City will need to bring in a player to fill his place.

However, that's all, Soriano doesn't want to spend money on Li Chengfeng at all, he still wants Pep Guardiola to come to Manchester City to coach, and Li Chengfeng's presence hinders his plans.

Li Chengfeng didn't want to stay anymore, so there was no need to give the other party a good face, and he would never be stingy with the money he should spend.

Lescott's contract expired and left, and Samba, who was on a physical flow, also had a downward trend. What's more, the core of the defence, captain Kompany, has a tendency to be a glass man, having missed more than two months due to injury in the past two seasons, and Li Chengfeng must make some preparations. In the end, Manchester City offered £32 million to buy Mangala, a popular defender in the transfer market, an unsurprising choice.

Then there is the position of Lewandowski, Li Chengfeng brought in Bayern's Mandzukiqi in return. Pep Guardiola doesn't like such a pure centre-forward, but Li Chengfeng thinks it's a good addition, at least at some times. For example, when facing Atletico Madrid in the Champions League last season, if there was such an air tyrant, it would be much easier to play, and long passes were sometimes very useful. Football doesn't have just one style, and being too insistent can sometimes hurt.

However, other positions are easy to say, but Royce is not easy to replace. Last season, Reus had his best season, with 23 goals and 18 assists in all competitions, a result that Li Chengfeng had given him many games off. Li Chengfeng originally thought that he, along with Neymar and Suarez, would become the best attacking combination in the world, but he did not expect to miss the World Cup after suffering an ankle injury in a warm-up match for the German national team and having to lie in a hospital bed for at least two months.

This is still secondary, he can recover from the injury after two months, but his injury number has soared to 13, and he has become a glass man, and even if he recovers, there is a high probability that he will miss the game.

There are now only three wingers left in the team: Eden Hazard, Neymar, and Di Maria, and one more must be brought in.

Reuss-level players are difficult to replace, Li Chengfeng took a fancy to Barcelona's Sanchez, but unfortunately the other party was unwilling to let go. As for Ronaldo, he went to Real Madrid. Salah? The Chelsea man didn't want to be an opponent and would rather have him on the bench.

In the end, Li Chengfeng bought young player Douglas Costa, a player who is good at fast breaking and cutting inside, is willing to pass the ball, and has good assist ability, but this scoring ability is much worse than Reuss. However, his positioning is only a rotation player, and he can't be too demanding, and Reus is not a replacement for anyone.

It doesn't matter, anyway, this is his last season at Manchester City, even if the "Sun" and other media broke out about his conflict with the club's senior management, and the news that he will leave after the season, he doesn't bother to refute the rumors, even if the team's results will have an impact, but with his achievements last season, no matter what kind of results he plays this season, it will not affect his status.

He's more concerned about where he's going next season. Led by Li Chengfeng, the foundation in which Emily and others participated bought Leeds United in the Championship.

Originally, they wanted to buy part of the shares of Aston Villa in the Premier League first, but the other party's offer was too high, and it actually cost 200 million pounds. Even if a team like Fulham in London is worth 150 million pounds, why is a team like Aston Villa that is relegated every year and loses money every year worth so much? Is it because their boss invested 300 million in this team? If you don't sell it, just wait for relegation, Li Chengfeng cursed the boss of Aston Villa fiercely.

However, Aston Villa still have value, as the most popular team in England's second largest city and one of the few teams in the Premier League that have not been relegated, and have a good fan base. If the boss of Aston Villa can be sensible and ask for less than 150 million pounds, maybe there is still something to talk about, but now, he can only change the target, and Li Chengfeng does not have much time to waste.

With little chance left for the Premier League teams, Li Chengfeng could only turn his attention to the Championship teams, and Leeds United, the only professional team in England's third largest city, came into their sights. Leeds United also had a glorious time a few years ago, but the step was too big to be an egg, and finally went bankrupt and was relegated to League One one after another, and only returned to the Championship three years ago.

Leeds have a better fan base, a better academy and everything is fine except that it is not a Premier League team. Of course, if it is a Premier League team, Li Chengfeng can't afford it.

In the end, Li Chengfeng spent £20 million to buy the ownership of Leeds United, but this is not all, he also needs to take on the 24 million pounds of debt owed by the team to the original owner, Gulf Financial Corporation, although this is more than the debt can be deferred until the team is promoted to the Premier League. In addition, the Elland Road Stadium, which was sold due to debt problems, also needs to be repurchased, which is around £16 million.

The £60 million total investment is high for a Championship team, but for a team that can keep more than 30,000 players playing even in the Championship, the potential is huge, and it would be a huge reward if they can be promoted. As for whether it can be promoted, an unprecedented six crowns can be done, can't it lead a Championship team to promotion?

This time, Li Chengfeng raised 75 million pounds, of which Li Chengfeng contributed more than half, reaching 40 million pounds.

followed by Emily, who has 20 million pounds, in her words, she will hand over all her life savings to Li Chengfeng, and if she loses it, she can only let Li Chengfeng support her. Of course, this is a joke, with her current coffee position, she can earn it back in just two years.

Lin Chiling also invested 10 million pounds. The original plan was to invest 5 million pounds like Liu Yifei, but I don't know why, when she knew that the investment target was Leeds United, she added another 5 million pounds. She doesn't understand football, is the reason for this is because Leeds United's Chinese name and her name Lin Chiling read very similar, thinking too much? Or is Li Chengfeng thinking too much? Is it possible for two people to start over? So what about Emily?

Let's go with the flow, Li Chengfeng gave up all kinds of distractions and began to dominate everything behind the scenes. There are now nearly £40 million to use, and considering that Leeds United are still in a situation where they are still unable to make ends meet, the amount of money that may be available is only £30 million. Li Chengfeng is ready to reduce his expenses, and those who should leave will leave.

Li Chengfeng's first deal was to send Championship top scorer McCormack to Premier League relegated side Fulham for £11 million. I have to say that the layman's money is easy to cheat, a top scorer in the Championship who has no potential can sell it for 11 million pounds, and most of the money to buy back the stadium is solved in an instant.

Striker Noel Hunt, who is too well-paid, was also let go for free, at least saving a salary. Former general manager Haig's operation was terrible enough, otherwise Leeds United would not have ended up in this situation.

Old defender Adam Drury retired, midfielder Paul Green was sent away for free, old goalkeeper Patrick Kenny, veteran Stephen Warnock, etc., or sent away at a low price, or terminated, Li Chengfeng emptied most of the team, leaving only a few people, and a few young people who were promoted from the youth team, and the team's expenses dropped all of a sudden.

Then, it's time to buy people. Leeds United's transfer operation is much easier than Li Chengfeng's transfer operation in the real world, he only needs to look at the resumes of the expensive stars of the Premier League teams in the real world, see which of them have not yet made a career at this time, and buy them as much as possible.

Around this, Li Chengfeng can buy a limited number of future stars, one is the non-EU reason, those future non-EU stars have not yet obtained a labor certificate, and the other is because Leeds United is only a Championship team, and people who are already famous are not willing to come. If it's the Premier League, there's more room to manoeuvre.

However, Li Chengfeng has already scavenged some future stars, such as future Manchester City's main goalkeeper Ederson, who is still playing in Rio Ave in the Portuguese Super League, and Li Chengfeng bought him for only 500,000 euros.

There's also League One's Milton's 18-year-old Delai Alli, who threw £8 million on him to snatch him from Tottenham's mouth. Tottenham were only willing to pay £5 million, a gap of £3 million enough to feed a League One side for a year, and Milton agreed to Leeds United's offer without any hesitation. It's a risk to spend so much money on an 18-year-old, but Li Chengfeng knows what he's worth.
