Chapter 296: The First Buying and Selling

With a 7-1 win at home to Aston Villa, Newcastle have climbed up one place in the league table to sixth in the Premier League table.

Because, West Ham United actually lost!

Although the Hammers and Magpies have the same points, Newcastle's back-to-back big wins in the last month or so have allowed Newcastle to pick up enough goal difference to be in seventh place.

The final round against Reds Liverpool is seven days later.

The team is temporarily on a truce.

…… In the next few days, in addition to paying attention to the introduction of Crespo and other favorite players, Li Tongfan spent a lot of time on the very important matter of "tuning" Gigi.

Gigi, unlike Spanish genius Juan Mata, can't take the way of pulling seedlings to help grow!

Because the half-breed rice bucket is very mediocre in terms of [potential ability] and [current ability], and the age is only seventeen years old, so for the sake of safety, Gigi's "ripening plan" cannot be directly implemented in one step like Mata, but must be taken slowly.

So the night after the match with Aston Villa, Lee Tongfan began to cheat for the first time - in addition to making a detailed training plan for the little guy based on the data queried from the FM2008 system's database, he also spent only 20 character points in the first FM-MM modification for Gigi, slightly increasing Gigi's [potential] from 100 to 150, and at the same time reducing Gigi's injury tendency to a certain extent.

150 potential!

This level of potential is not low for a professional footballer, but it is obviously tantamount to a fool's dream to rely on this value to become an international superstar.

Lao Li's plan is very simple, as long as Ji Ji can fully digest the 150 potential points through scientific hard training, Li Tongfan will not hesitate to cheat this mixed-race rice bucket for the second time! On the contrary, if the mixed-race rice bucket can't even digest the 150 potential, then Lao Li will not be stupid to waste more character points on a player who does not know how to enter.

Maybe even Lee Tong-fan himself didn't realize that this was the first time in his history that he had "harshly criticized" a player when using the FM system to cheat, perhaps because the stuffy man had much higher expectations for Jiji than anyone before!

The greater the expectations, the higher the requirements!

…… In the next few days of training, Gigi was really silent a lot, but he became even harder than before!

Even after the team's training, he often pulls the Dutch teenager Balachite to stay for additional training!

Because, the fifteen-minute Premier League debut made Gigi deeply experienced the cruelty of professional football, those players who seemed to be kind and friendly off the field and talked and laughed, once they stepped on the green field, they immediately turned into a flood of beasts, trying their best to ravage the opponent from the spirit and **, two days ago at St. James' Park Stadium The mistaken minute encounter made Gigi feel like he was in purgatory...... A nightmare feeling!

The first time I experienced a professional football game, Gigi was left with not beauty but pain.

However, the love of football made this seventeen-year-old boy even more determined and determined to become a night player after the game, and if he wanted to become a strong man on the green field, he had to double his blood and sweat in training to meet those enemies who constantly provoked him!

Jiji's change made Li Tongfan, who had been secretly observing, very satisfied.

So, for a long time, in the twilight and sunset of the rigber training base, there were always two figures, tall and short, who continued to train after the other team members drove away, accumulating energy for their bright future!

…… Golden sunset.

"Hey, Nasser, swear in the name of Mr. Rice Bucket's Newcastle greatest striker of the century, I, Gigi, am going to make a brutal breakthrough against you, get ready to cry"

The thin figure shouted arrogantly!

Under the setting sun, the tall man of 1.94 meters puffed up his chest and provoked disdainfully: "Come on, Gigi, let you see Mr. Rice Bucket's favorite, the most offensive and defensive attacking super great midfielder, the Dutch emperor superstar Nasser Balaqi's ......"

Every time I see two little guys talking and laughing, the old Sean, who has guarded the door of Rigburton for Newcastle for 38 years, will always smile happily, Newcastle's infinite scenery in the Premier League in the past month or two makes the old Xiaoen feel that he is dozens of years younger.

…… Three days later, there was good news from Newcastle's transfer department that the transfers of Ronaldo and Marcelo had been completed.

In fact, when the Newcastle staff offered Real Madrid 10 million euros to pack Ronaldo and Marcelo according to Li Tongfan's request, they basically didn't have much hope. After all, although these two stars can't play the main force in Real Madrid, their strength and fame are there, and many giant teams in European football are chasing them, among which AC Milan's pursuit of Ronaldo is the most fierce, Galliani's 15 million offer Ronaldo was rejected by Florentino, and now the madman Li actually wants to pack two people with 10 million?

Isn't that self-inflicted?

But...... Less than an hour after Newcastle's request was faxed, Real Madrid responded with what is estimated to be the fastest ever response!

"Hi Danny, look, Real Madrid's reply fax page ......"

Tracht, a Newcastle transfer staff member who was standing in front of the fax machine, couldn't wait to pick up Real Madrid's reply and read it aloud: "...... We agree with your offer and are willing to accept the request for 24 months instalments...... As for the treatment and wishes of the two players, it is not within the scope of our services, please talk to their agents in detail......"

Reading and reading, Tracht involuntarily grew his mouth.

And the middle-aged man named Danny, who is the temporary head of the Magpie's transfer department, was stunned after listening to what Tracht read: "Woo, God! How is this possible? Damn, did you get the bid offer wrong and write it as 20 million euros? ”

Tracht hurriedly took out the original fax page from before and examined it carefully: "God testify, Danny, yes! Our previous offer was indeed 10 million euros......"

The six people in the office looked at each other, and involuntarily thought of one person at the same time - the madman Lee!

This miracle transfer that is destined to shake world football can only be handled by former Real Madrid coach Maniac Lee, how lucky are Newcastle people to have such a manager?

A moment later, there was a huge cheer in the office of the transfer department, and everyone was flushed with excitement and full of energy. Because, what happened just now made them understand that they are going to work miracles with the madman this summer!

…… In addition to Ronaldo and Marcelo, Newcastle's first offer Crespo and Podolski have all been difficult. Bayern Munich responded a little better, offering a negotiated price of 15 million euros, while the Blues Chelsea rejected it outright, for exactly the same reason as Lee Tong-beom had guessed - unwilling to sell the player to a competing club!

The crazy performances of Li Tongfan and Newcastle at the end of the season have already panicked many clubs, and as the manager who has played against the crazy Li twice, the madman Mourinho deeply understands the horror of this Chinese! That's why the stupid thing of "feeding the tiger with his body" is not going to be done by the Portuguese madman.

It looks like even if Crespo is put in the reserves and leads the high-paid bargain, the madman will not be sold to future rivals Newcastle...... However, Lao Li had expected such a situation a long time ago, so he had already prepared - since you Mourinho don't eat firewood, rice, oil and salt, then don't blame Lao Li for directly bypassing your old man's house and going directly to Mr. Abramovich, who can really call the shots!

And for the huge amount of money in Russia, Li Tongfan has enough confidence to make this uncle with a shy smile nod!

You must know that the cunning Russian uncle has been transferring his assets and trying to break into the upper class circles in Britain for political reasons in Russia, but the efforts of several years now do not seem to have achieved the results he is seeking. On the other hand, Newcastle now has one of the top nobles in the British high society circle, Sir John Hall!

Just let John Hall play the "bait" to bargain with Abramovich, hehe, absolutely done!

"Well, Lee, I'll grant you, but I hope you're really for Newcastle, as you say, or else............ Hum! ”

The old Sir Uncle Hall, who felt that he had always been being shot by the madman Lee, beat Lao Li with a stupid "threat and intimidation" after being moved by the shameless stuffy man with the reason of "Newcastle righteousness", and reluctantly agreed to use his connections to "conquer" Abramovich.

That way, there should be no problem signing Crespo!

As for the remaining German striker Podolski, Newcastle began to quarrel endlessly with Bayern Munich. Under the instructions of Lee Tong-beom, Newcastle's transfer department began to refuse to raise the offer again after raising the maximum offer to 12 million euros!

Because although Bayern Munich has repeatedly covered it up, Lao Li has long known through the FM2008 system that the only club that offered Podolski at the same time as Newcastle is the Bundesliga elevator Cologne, and the Cologne team is only willing to pay a transfer fee of 10 million euros for their go, and it is paid in installments...... There is a cheat like FM2008, even if you want to be the big boss!

In addition, the Newcastle transfer department also made a tentative offer to the Argentine Riquelme under the instructions of Li Tongfan, but although the yellow submarine Villarreal did not refuse, it asked for a sky-high price of 35 million euros...... 35 million euros?

Lee Tong-beom decided to give up Riquelme for the time being!

…… There are many head coaches who are in and out, and there are many head coaches who have the same calculation as Li Tongfan that "early birds eat worms".

After Swede Eriksen rolled up and got out, new Manchester City boss Mark Hughes was very interested in Joey Barton, who managed to limit C. Ronaldo on the night at Old Trafford, and asked Newcastle for a price. And Lao Li's answer made Manchester City tangled - 20 million pounds!

However, Joey Barton joined a year ago for £11 million, and has performed well this season since the arrival of Crazy Lee, and the £20 million price is not outrageous, but the bad boy's habit of red cards from time to time is a bit prohibitive. After hesitating, Mark Hughes turned his attention to another defensive midfielder who had risen to prominence under the promotion of Crazy Lee - Gareth Barry, a defender of Aston Villa!

Lao Li laughed at this!

Nowadays, there are only a handful of good backs in football, and today's Joey Barton is definitely a strange commodity to live in, and he doesn't have to worry about having no home!

In addition to Barton, many players in the Newcastle team have been seduced by other clubs because of their excellent performance in the second half of the season.
