Chapter 46 Promotion to a wealthy family

Sha's idea is good, but when the manpower is always exhausted, although he wants to get more trophies, but football games are always full of uncertainties, not to mention that he is 32 years old, his physical condition is not as good as before, and it is really unrealistic to imagine dominating the entire European football scene like ten years ago, all he can do is to win as many championships as possible.

During the summer transfer, not only did Marcio transfer to Inter Milan for 20 million pounds, but Mancini also bought Wither for 25 million pounds.

In addition, Ronald was unwilling to be a substitute again, and transferred to Fulham for 3 million. With no future in sight, Farley went to West Brom to give Leeds United £5.25 million back.

But the current "Young Guard", with the rapid growth of the younger generation, is really no longer weak, even if four players are sold, the team's record is still not affected, and even because the standing players of the first team have been reduced to 20, the team has become unprecedentedly united, and everyone is doing their best for the team.

In the 2025~2026 season, Leeds United's form has been very brave since the beginning of the season, and in the first game of the new season, Leeds United won the Community Shield with goals from Hojdenk, Shaq and Du Xiaoguang.

Later, in the European Super Cup, relying on Shaq's hat trick, as well as Brookman and Hojdenk's goals, he defeated Roma with a score of 5:1 and won the European Super Cup.

In the Club World Cup, Leeds United swept Japan's Kashima Antlers 7-0 in the semi-finals, and then defeated Sao Paulo 3-0 in the final, winning the third Club World Cup trophy in the club's history.

In the Premier League. Leeds United finally won 38 games, 35 wins, 3 draws, and accumulated 108 points unbeaten to complete the title defense again, completing the great cause of three consecutive victories in the Premier League.

In the FA Cup final, Leeds United defeated Manchester City 4-1 to complete the title defense, but in the third round of the League Cup, Leeds United's first League Cup game, the real Leeds United youth team lost 0:1 to Burnley. I gave up early.

Interestingly, when Leeds United reached the Champions League final again after beating Galatasaray, Atletico Madrid and Manchester City in the Champions League, they faced last season's final opponents Inter Milan.

This season, because of the Champions League runner-up at the bottom, and Leeds United is just constantly buying people, and has not made a single move in the transfer market, Inter Milan is very domineering in the transfer market, and Mancini has smashed 97 million euros, that is, 77 million pounds. At Leeds United, they got two big players here in Marcio and Wither, and bought Italian international central defender Ruggi from Valencia? Chiofre, coupled with Inter Milan's original team, this season's "snake elf" defeated Manchester United, Valencia, Barcelona and other three strong teams in the Champions League, and reached the Champions League final again.

Inter Milan, who have grown in strength and are bent on revenge, even suppressed Leeds United in the Champions League final, with a 55%:45% possession rate that is enough to show who is the one who has the initiative in this game.

It's a pity that Inter Milan's 10 shots on goal failed to break through Leeds United's goal. On the contrary, it was Shaq who roared a set-piece 35 meters from the goal in the 54th minute. The score was firmly locked at 1:0, and Leeds United completed the feat of defending the Champions League trophy!

This season, the 33-year-old has burst into his best form in the last six years, scoring 72 goals in 37 league games, 28 in the Champions League, plus 13 goals in the FA Cup, and goals in the Community Shield, UEFA Super Cup, Club World Cup and other competitions. Shaq has scored 121 goals in 59 appearances for Leeds United this season, something he has failed to achieve in his final three seasons at Barca.

The world is being amazed by another outburst by Shaq, Leeds United's "six crowns" this season, just one League Cup away from perfection, which is clearly directly related to Shaq's unsolicited outburst.

Summer 2026. It's time for the World Cup to bring joy to fans around the world, and people have already set their eyes on the World Cup, the most important event in football.

But the Leeds United chairman Glenn, who is almost forgotten? Oxley ran out to brush up his presence, he only announced one news, and it caused a sensation in the entire European football world: "Leeds United will invest 400 million pounds to completely renovate the Elland Road stadium, the whole process will last three months, after the completion of the renovation, Leeds United will have 80,000 seats, and have all the facilities of various modern stadiums such as roofs and floor heating, and Elland Road will become a state-of-the-art modern football stadium!" ”

As soon as this news was announced, European football exploded, and people knew what the team was like when Shaq bought Leeds United, and it has only been three years, even if Leeds United does not have any big expenses, it should not be able to come up with such a large amount of money all at once!

This news...... It can't be a gimmick, right!?

But then Glenn? After Oxley made public a financial statement and published the income and expenses of the "Young Guard" for the past two years, even Forbes was attracted because of ...... Leeds United have really made so much money in the past two years!

In the transfer market, Simon? In addition to the first season, Grayson only made 9 million pounds for the team because he also bought people in the transfer market, and in the second and third seasons, he was simply an iron rooster, and he didn't buy a single person, but he made 116 million pounds back by selling players in two seasons.

Coupled with TV rights, all kinds of huge sponsorships, championship bonuses, etc., Leeds United's total revenue in the season just ended has reached an astonishing 600 million!

Such an astonishing revenue capacity is completely comparable to Barcelona and Real Madrid, but the expenses of the "Young Guards" are not large, and the biggest annual expense in these two seasons is...... Dividends!

This cost was not paid in the first season, but from the second season onwards, the amount of this "distribution bonus" reached a staggering 383 million pounds per season!

No way!

Who doesn't know that Leeds United is owned by Shaq alone. But who would have thought that in just three years, Shaq's original investment has been recovered by 766 million, which is really jealous!

Despite the fact that Leeds United have made so much money back for Shaq, the club's operations have not been affected at all, with a whopping £600 million in the club's account. In Simon? There's £100 million left in Grayson's transfer fund account, and £400 million to revamp Elland Road Stadium is nothing.

Leeds United fans don't care how much money Shaq makes, as long as the team's results are good, as long as everything is normal for the club, they are already happy to not find the north.

When the "Three Lions" defeated Cameroon 5:0, defeated China 6:0, and defeated Bosnia and Herzegovina 4:0 in the World Cup in Mexico, and won the group without conceding a goal, "Forbes" also announced the latest edition of the World Football Club Wealth Rankings.

On this list. Barcelona continues to rank at the top of the list with a total value of 1.69 billion euros, but Real Madrid, which was originally ranked second, has dropped to third place with a value of 1.2 billion, and the "Young Guard" suddenly jumped from outside the top 20 to the second position, and the total value of the club is valued at 1.33 billion euros!

Overnight, the "Young Guard" has become a well-known "giant" in European football and even world football.

A reporter went to interview Shaq. As a result, Shaq was closed, and Shaq was going to lead the "Three Lions" to the World Cup. How can you take care of them!?

Today's England team, for Leeds United players such as Schak, the sense of honor is more than before, Deschamps, the Frenchman's style is really a bit radical, while seeing the great success of the "Young Guard", he also uses Leeds United as the skeleton of his own "Three Lions". Recruited Shaq and Ashley in one go? Hood, Jonny? Hausen, Nigel? Yebby, Knovels, Draper, Lens, Richardson, Bruckman, Westrac, John? Allen and eleven other Leeds United players.

Deschamps' madness proved justified by England's 15 goals in the group stage, 13 of which were scored by Leeds United players, Shaq 10, Lens 2 and Kenuvels 1. This is enough to show that the current Leeds United team has indeed assembled the best group of English players.

In a sense, the glory of the "Three Lions" has already been equated with the honor of the "Young Guard"!

Besides, running a club really has nothing to do with him, those are Glenn? Oxley's business, he, the boss, is the boss who is in charge.

I have to admit that although the coach of the England team is a little more radical, he is indeed on the most correct path, and the "Three Lions" built on the basis of as many as 11 Leeds United players are unprecedentedly strong under the tacit understanding of Leeds players.

After reaching the knockout stages, England's performance still reassured their supporters, beating the Netherlands 3-1, the United States 2-0 and Scotland 2-1 to reach the World Cup final.

This is the third consecutive World Cup final for the Three Lions since Shaq matured, and although England lost to France last time, this time ...... Even if the England team faced Brazil, the "Samba Kingdom", they still did not give the opponent any chance.

In the final, England led Brazil 2:1 in the first half with goals from Sparks and Knuvells, and in the 55th minute of the second half, Shaq stabbed a goal in the penalty area to seal the win for the "Three Lions"!

After eight years, England are once again world champions!

Shaq also became the top scorer in three consecutive World Cups with 15 goals, and Deschamps did not hesitate to praise Shaq after the game: "Shaq is the secret of my team's success, any team that can have a super scorer like him who has scored 15 goals in 7 games will become the champion!" ”

In the selection of players after the World Cup, the biggest winner is still Leeds United, Shaq won the World Cup best player and top scorer awards, Lens was named the best young player in the World Cup, and Westrak was named the best goalkeeper. Hood was selected as a substitute for the Dream Team.

It is not difficult to see from the selection of the World Cup dream team that the current "Young Guard" is indeed a well-known giant! (To be continued......)
