Before we get into the details of Lim's new plans, let's take a look back at what he did before that of a deep football manager gamer with a penchant for running clubs.

At the beginning of 2018, he invested 6 million soft girls to acquire 29% of the shares of Beijiang Volcano Mingquan Football Club, which had just been promoted to the Tianjia League at that time. A year and a half later, through negotiations with the competent authorities, it joined forces with the well-known local company Ice City Beer to complete the full control of the club, until the end of 2022 to completely exit.

In the past four years, Li Mudi has recruited a lot of excellent foreign players for his hometown team who have not found a place in the mainstream European leagues but are not bad at all, and has also gathered many potential new stars in China (relative to the overall quality of Tianchao football). In the end, he realized the dream that he and many fans in Northern Xinjiang have insisted on for many years, that is, to let the hometown team rush and gain a foothold in the Tianchao League.

At the end of 2020, Volcano Mingquan successfully promoted to the stage of the top domestic league by winning the runner-up of Tianjia, and completed the relegation in the second year. Since 2022, the team's results have been moving towards the top of the standings at a rate of one step per year.

As of mid-May 2025, after the eleventh round of the league, Volcano Mingquan is temporarily ranked eighth in this season's Tianchao League with a record of 4 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses.

If it weren't for the incident of some people illegally laundering/money through the football industry in China, I believe that Li Mudi would not have easily sold his shares in order to avoid suspicion. However, even though he no longer has any connection with the club in reality, and has rejected the new chairman's proposal to let him be named as a technical guide, Li Mudi will still pay attention to his hometown team from time to time, and through the remaining scouting staff, he will help the team continue to occupy a huge advantage on the road of discovering excellent young players.

In the spring and summer of 2020, Coventry, an old British team founded in 1883, was bought by the company he co-founded with his friends and became another nail in the body of the Celestial Empire into the capitalist country.

It was only because Li Muddy soon took over the reins of Arsenal that his dream of taking charge of a European club did not materialise until the 2023-24 season. However, it was in less than ten months of experience that he completely figured out that his favorite and most suitable job position was to be a head coach, and he never thought about buying the team again, even though many friends and wealthy businessmen in China had wanted to invite the world's No. 1 coach to work together, but the answers he got were all polite refusals.

However, when British football closed the door to Celestial Empire players again, he couldn't think of any other good way for a while except to "return to the old business", so it was natural to start the plan to buy a new club a little vulgarly.

Fortunately, as mentioned before, the further widening of the gap between the rich and the poor in European football has caused countless small clubs to find it difficult to make a living.

Through the five or six years of the two clubs before and after the volcano in Northern Xinjiang and Coventry, Li Mudi already has a relatively stable lineup and a management team with excellent ability, most of which are compatriots of the Celestial Empire, which can be said to be very reliable. Coupled with the various connections made during his previous coaching time in Italy, England and Spain, no less than 10 ideal acquisition partners were quickly found.

In the end, after the screening and comparison of his big boss (in fact, he did a deeper understanding through cheating), and the first target was set as a club called Ebro Sports.

Ebro Sports, abbreviated as Ebro, the Western name is Club Deportivo Ebro, abbreviated as C.bro, because the front is very similar to the name of A Coruña, so it is mistranslated as Deportivo Ebro by many people in the Celestial Empire. As mentioned before, Deportivo means sports in Spanish, but it was used as an abbreviation by Laco, which led to this misunderstanding.

Founded in 1942, the club has no historical or geographical ties to A Coruña, which is based in the north-west of Spain, Galicia, while Ebro has been based in the north-east of Aragon, the capital of the region and the fifth largest city in the West, Zaragoza.

As for why the area is not named after the area as is customary in the football world, in addition to the fact that the other club in the same city was founded ten years before them and has already used the name of the city in advance, another important factor is that the name Ebro also has a distinct regional character.

The Ebro River is the longest, largest and most extensive river in Spain, with abundant water resources and numerous tributaries providing Spain with a powerful network of irrigation canals and 17% of the country's electricity sources, and its status in this country is equivalent to the Yangtze River in the Celestial Empire.

BC, the river also served as the dividing line between the Roman Republic and Carthage, as well as the Spanish frontier of the Charlemaine Empire and the post-Umayyad dynasty, and also occupies a significant place in European history. So it's quite majestic to be able to name the club after the river.

However, the name sounds lofty, but it has not helped the club's development or results, and since its founding in 1942, Ebro has not been promoted to La Liga for more than 80 years. In fact, they don't even know what the taste of the West B League is like, and they didn't appear in the West B for the first time until 2015, 73 years after the establishment of the team, which is really a bitter tear.

What's even more tragic is that the club has also suffered repeated setbacks in terms of management. It is located in the fifth largest city in the country, and there are no strong competitors in the vicinity except for Zaragoza, the sworn enemy of the same city, so according to common sense, life should not be particularly miserable.

It's just that no matter who the chairman and manager are replaced, it seems that this club is possessed by a poor god, and it just can't find a way out to live a good life.

In the early 80s, Ebro had a huge economic crisis, and finally managed to survive until 1988 with the support of the local council, and finally did not escape the end of bankruptcy and liquidation.

After a reorganization, the new Ebro was relaunched after a little over a year, but the club's hardware was so poor that the staff were even a member of the club. There is no office for the work, so the players' dormitory can only be divided into two rooms as zero-hour office space.

The most desperate thing is that until the current year of 2025, the FM system's evaluation of the club's office facilities is still only 2, and there has been almost no improvement in more than 30 years, which is really incredible.

Judging from the evaluation report given by professionals, the club's current total assets are negative 1.78 million, of which the majority is in arrears of bank loans, almost 3.4 million, benefiting from outrageously low wages and other expenditure indicators, with the current state of holding on for another three or four years will not seem to be a big problem.

However, since the 2020-21 season from the B3 group of La Liga B3, the team's four consecutive years of unsuccessful attempts to promote the club have failed, and the 71-year-old Mr. Navarro is no longer willing to continue in the role of club president amid the spitting of the fans. On the 30th anniversary of his reign in 1994, he announced that he would sell his entire stake and support the development of the team as a regular fan from now on.

However, even though he has put a very low price on these shares, no one is willing to take over this small club that looks like it has no future, so Navarro's retirement plan has been postponed until this summer, and Li Mudi and his team see the possibility of becoming a pick-up man.

After a short but extremely efficient selection, Ebro's advantage is naturally obvious to be able to stand out from hundreds of takeovers that can be easily started.

First of all, the fan base is very good, Zaragoza has a population of nearly 700,000 urban residents, at least a quarter of whom are fans, although it is not as big as Madrid and Barcelona, but it is an excellent condition for European countries with a generally small population.

And the strength of the city's rivals is not very strong, and the team of the same name in the city has not appeared in the top flight for more than a decade, and the appeal is far less than the previous peak, which is good news for any weak club.

In addition, the geographical location of the Autonomous Region of Aragon is also very good, right in the middle of Madrid and Catalonia, not far from the Basque Country, another strong football region, and beyond the Huesca region to the north is France, plus the natural environment and climatic conditions are easy to adapt to people in different regions, it is still very suitable as a springboard for players.

On the whole, as long as the right way to open is found, Ebro's development prospects are still worth looking forward to.

Coventry is a prime example of this, as long as the strength of the team can be immediately turned upside down, and the results will improve year by year, fulfilling the fans' desire to return to La B, and then continue to be promoted to La Liga, and even La Liga, it is natural to win a large number of fans and economic resources. With no decent rivals in the whole of Aragon and the surrounding regions, there is still a good chance of growing into the largest football club in the region.

It is precisely because of the many convenient conditions that Li Mudi and his team were able to complete the preliminary assessment so quickly, and basically completed the acquisition before June.

However, after the acquisition of Ebro, Li Mudi will not participate too much in the management of the club, but directly hand over all the affairs to the team that began to be formed during the volcano spring period and gradually absorbed various strongmen to improve in the future. As for the position of president of the club, Mr. Carol, the former director of the club, was also hired, in addition to calming the emotions of the fans, but also to stabilize the morale of the army within the club.

With players and coaching staff, scouting staff and even the medical staff all set to change beyond recognition before the new season, the new management team will have to deal with a backlash from the fans without an influential veteran staff in charge.

The main purpose of Li Mudi's choice to acquire the Ebro club is to provide a platform for Celestial Empire players to go abroad for training, but there is an obvious paradox in this, that is, the Spanish League does not allow non-European foreign players to play in the competition. According to the Spanish Football Federation, even La B League has the same terms and conditions.

Only after the team is promoted to La Liga and La Liga, after being able to obtain two and three non-EU players respectively, theoretically speaking, the restrictions on non-European players in the lower divisions of Spain are even more unfriendly than those in the United Kingdom, and it is not an ideal choice, and the old coach Xu Gengbao suffered in this regard, causing him to waste a lot of energy in vain.

However, for Limdoudi, who started his coaching career in the Iberian Peninsula, he still knows that there are many ways to get around these restrictions. For example, as mentioned earlier, since Spain also considers players from the nearly 100 member states of the Cotonou Agreement and the Cooperation Council of Turkic-speaking Countries to be part of European players, many teams will use the method of giving players a second nationality to qualify for plays, so that most of the world's players are not considered non-European players here, except for South American and Asian countries.

But this method naturally did not work for the Celestial Empire, which did not recognize dual nationality, so it had to choose another path.

The second rule that can make the Western Football Association make an exception is that if the player has the strength of an international player and has a record of playing in A-level matches for his country's national team in the past five years, he can qualify for the league, and it was through this treaty that Kimchi national players Kim Young-kui, Kim Woo-hong and Tianchao goalkeeper Gao Leilei were eligible to register in the Spanish Second Division B.

However, this article must not be applicable to the young players of the Celestial Empire, so Li Mudi had to resort to the last killer move, that is, to make a fuss about the belonging of youth training.

If a non-European player is considered to be an academy member of the club, he or she can qualify for La B before he reaches the age of 21, but there must be fewer than three players and it will not be valid for La B and below.

In other words, as long as they can be promoted to the third division as quickly as possible, then in theory, the Ebro team can register up to three Celestial Dynasty youngsters in the league, and this is why Li Mudi will start to make a big change immediately after buying the club.

For this reason, he gave the team a dead order, the task of promotion must be completed next year, and all the team's subsequent operations are also implemented to achieve this goal.

Let the name of Ebro Football Club appear in front of more people's eyes in the summer of 2025, and the movement is not small.
