Newcastle have indeed brought a surprise to European football!

On the afternoon of January 1, Newcastle, AC Milan and Chelsea announced a three-way transfer that shook the world - "The club has decided to terminate the loan contract of Ukrainian striker Andrey Shepchenko, and we thank him for his contribution to the team until then......"

"Newcastle player Nicolas Gigi joins the club on loan until the end of the season for a loan fee of €1 million and the club pays Gigi 100% of his weekly salary...... "This is the announcement on the official website of AC Milan. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Russian international Yuri Zherkov has joined the club, and the price we paid for this is £13 million and the ownership of Ukrainian striker Andrei Shepchenko, the club firmly believes that Zherkov is the kind of person who can make a difference in the team, and thanks Shepchenko for his contribution to the team over the past two years, and wishes him even better in his new environment!"

This is the official announcement of Chelsea Football Club.

"Today, we will have a great striker who will bring a revolutionary change to the team - Andrey Shepchenko, the greatest striker in the history of Ukrainian football, joins Newcastle !!"

This is the announcement on Newcastle FC's official website.

…… Shepchenko is on the verge of joining Newcastle!!

As soon as this news came out, it immediately shook the whole of Europe!

Judging from the whole process of this transfer, it is clear that Newcastle has dominated it from beginning to end!

Being able to complete a complex transaction involving three giants in such a short period of time makes people have to sigh once again at the efficiency of the madman Li!

It's just that before that, almost no one could have imagined that the first target of the madman Lee this winter was actually Ukrainian striker Shepchenko.

If it had been two years ago, such a transfer would have become the envy of all major clubs, and Shepchenko at that time still had the peerless lethality of a nuclear warhead, and could do anything to conquer cities wherever he went...... At that time, there was not a club on earth that did not want to have a striker like him!

But, now, it's long gone!

Two years at Stamford Bridge proved to be a failed journey, and after returning to his former club AC Milan, he also maintained a degraded arc of gravitational acceleration...... Obviously, in just 720 days, the Ukrainian nuclear warheads, which everyone used to chase, have become nuclear waste ...... with infinite regret...... In the case of already having Owen, Ronaldo, and Crespo, the madman Lee actually introduced Shepchenko again, and two or three years ago, such a risk configuration can definitely be called the world's No. 1 and absolutely fantastic lineup...... But now, I have to wonder about the recruitment strategy of the madman Lee, does he want Newcastle to become another retirement home in European football? ”

BBC TV's chief football commentator and determined Mike Donald said sarcastically in a TV talk show: "The Ukrainian's experience at Stamford Bridge has long proven that he is not suitable for the Premier League, and the three-way deal that the madman Lee painstakingly completed has only brought a high-paying bench to the team......

In European football, there are quite a few people who share the same views as Mike Donald.

Germany's "Kicker", "Bild", France's "Team", Spain's "As", "Marca", "World Sport" and other well-known media, almost none of them are optimistic about Shepchenko's transfer ...... "The largest parallel goods in the history of the Premier League to join Newcastle"

"Shepchenko and Newcastle, an elusive transfer combination"

"Ukrainians' Premier League Parallel Journey, Next Stop - St. James"

"The fan plot of Crazy Lee broke out again, sacrificing the interests of the team for a parallel product"

"Ukraine's nuclear waste has won a new owner, a few people are happy and a few people are sad"

Shepchenko, is it the beginning of a nightmare, or the rise of another Michael Owen? 》

"Crazy Lee's crazy and crazy moves, trying his best just for a waste person"

This time, even Paul Coentrão, the editor-in-chief of the English newspaper The Observer, who had always sided with Lee Tongfan, commented on Shepchenko's transfer with concern in tone and wording - "...... The transfer of Yuri Zerkov does not worry Newcastle fans because at St James, they also have Marcelo and Gareth Bale, two younger baseball boys......"

“…… The Russian's departure has brought St James £13 million, which he was worth just five million six months ago, and in that respect the madman Lee has once again made a clever deal that will appeal to all club presidents......

"But Shepchenko, I'm sorry, I don't think he'll be able to get back to peak form at Newcastle, knowing that the Ukrainian is almost 32 years old this year......"

And it seems that the opinion of the Observer seems to represent the general opinion of the English media.

In the opinion of many, bringing in Shepchenko should have been a strategic decision by the madman Lee in building the Newcastle brand, rather than considering the competitive value of the Ukrainians...... After all, although the value of competition has been reduced, Szepchenko's influence in European football cannot be ignored...... An old star who has gone out of fashion is eager to find his last leg in the big five leagues, while a rising new force wants to establish its influence around the world...... The two hit it off, and it seems that simple as that, that's all!

Of course, there are not all doubts, and there are a few people who are optimistic about Shepchenko's transfer.

Former Newcastle legend and now owner of the winery, David Girano, was asked by reporters about his opinion on the transfer at an awards ceremony at a wine tasting conference, and Girano replied without hesitation: "Crazy Lee is always good at doing miracles, and I look forward to him bringing Shepchenko back to his top form...... To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that I'm so 'old', maybe I would have begged the madman Lee to re-sign me......"

…… The controversy in the media continues.

To Lee Tong-beom's relief, Newcastle fans expressed their support for the transfer. Less than four or five hours after the transfer news was announced, more and more fans were already leaving messages expressing their support for the club's decision on the club's official website.

"Boring media, these bastards don't think about it, have Mr. Rice Bucket made a mistake in his decision? Ha ha! ”

"As a staunch Newcastle fan and an avid madman Lee fan, I, Krikra, an ordinary fruit retailer, look forward to Shepchenko returning to the top like Beckham and Ronaldo, and expecting the Ukrainian nuclear bomb to bombard all opponents at St. James!"

"...... [Flying Magpies] fan club will organize fans to prepare for Shepchenko's joining ceremony, and ask the craziest 'magpies' to call xxxxxx and let the Ukrainian superstar feel the enthusiasm of the Newcastle people!!"

“…… According to the grapevine, Shepchenko will wear the No. 99 shirt to fight for Newcastle, and the store will take the lead in launching the Shepchenko jersey pre-sale event, which is not to be missed, on a first-come, first-served basis, and there are mysterious gifts...... Remember, order phone - xxxxxxx!! ”

…… Time passes in the hustle and bustle.

According to the plan, in five days, Shepchenko will come to Newcastle for a medical examination, and if there is no big problem after the medical examination, the Ukrainian striker will officially sign a contract to join Newcastle.

The tide of controversy and criticism from the outside world could not shake Li Tongfan's determination in the slightest.

At this time, Sendros's agent Shakman has begun to work hard for his client to join Newcastle, and he must first meet Li Tongfan's requirements - persuade AC Milan to 'return' Senderos to Arsenal before Newcastle can make an offer to the Gunners, otherwise everything is empty talk!

At this time, the quality of a real broker is revealed!

Shakman did not do the same, as the stupid Frenchman Quareos Rolla did, by deliberately creating contradictions and making players betray the club.

In fact, Lao Li doesn't know what method the 50-year-old man with gold wire glasses has adopted, anyway, the result is: Senderos broke up with AC Milan and returned to Arsenal on January 2, 2009, the day after the transfer market opened!

"Arsenal's parallel goods were returned by the Rossoneri"

"Sendros, the fall of a former defensive genius"

"Even if they return to Arsenal, there is no place for the Swiss international"

"Gunners secretly sell Swiss internationals to clubs, former geniuses are now unwanted"

"Senderos, a defective product from the Arsenal"

There have been many media reports about Senderos and Arsenal clearly do not want to keep the Swiss nation at the Emirates Stadium...... However, Li Tongfan did not make an offer to Arsenal at this time.

Because Li is not sure whether Wenger will once again refuse Newcastle's offer on the grounds that "players cannot be sold to competitors".

In Li Tongfan's view, the most sure way should be to wait until Sendros is really 'rotten to the pot' and no one cares, then is the best time to make his own move!

Sendros's agent, Shakman, did not urge Lao Li to make an offer immediately, and it was obvious that this shrewd man with gold wire glasses also understood the joints.

In addition to the transfer of players, there is another very important thing to do for Lee Tong-fan in this transfer period, that is, to be invited to participate in the 2008 World Footballer of the Year award ceremony.

Due to a number of other reasons, the World Footballer of the Year award, which was supposed to be presented at the end of '08, was postponed to January 5, still at the Big Brother Theatre in Zurich, Switzerland!

Although before that, the Manchester Post and The Times have sworn that Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo has locked up the World Footballer of the Year crown ahead of schedule...... However, many people prefer to believe that this World Footballer of the Year selection is definitely the most suspenseful in the past decade!

Such suspense is mainly due to the existence of one person - David Beckham!
