Chapter 282: Juan Mata's Spring

In the morning, the weather is clear!

When the warm sunlight poured in through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, the golden pillars of light behind the glass brought a slight heat, and the sun burned on the buttocks of a stuffy man who was sleeping profusely...... Hmm, it's hot!

Li Tongfan stretched out his hand and tugged at the quilt, wanting to cover his "delicate" ass and continue to sleep, who knows...... Hiss~~ A burst of soreness came from the limbs, and the little sleepiness left suddenly disappeared!

Lao Li rolled up from the soft bed, moved his arms, and watched the blue sky and waves outside connect to the distant sky, and the white seagulls sang and drew beautiful notes between the vast sea and sky...... A morning in the best mood!

Got up and came to the bedside, opened the glass, and a slightly cold sea breeze blew in with a salty taste, Li Tongfan remembered the crazy scene last night - last night!

When the team's bus came to the exit of the highway on the outskirts of Newcastle, the players were surprised to find that the large parking lot of the highway petrol station next to it was packed with vehicles and crowds!

The rain is still falling!

Seeing the bus with the Newcastle club logo slowly driving by, the silent crowd suddenly erupted into enthusiastic cheers, like the spring thunder in the early March, which was moving!

It turned out that Newcastle fans were waiting here for the return of the city's heroes!

It was around 2 o'clock in the morning, but the cold night rain could not stop the enthusiasm of the Newcastle fans, so that in the face of the crowd of supporters, the team had to hold a special fan meeting in the hall of the petrol station!

Flowers, beer, applause, champagne...... Everything necessary to celebrate the victory had already been prepared by the frenzied fans, and the loud cheers almost knocked off the roof of the gas station hall...... Although it was only a league victory, it won a crazier and more exciting event than celebrating the league championship!

However, the Newcastle people don't think it's too much!

Because the madman Lee maintained the dignity of the magpie with a hearty victory!

Before the game, they watched the entire broadcast with almost their hands folded and in the most devout gesture of prayer!

You know, Newcastle's poor record for most of the season has kept every fan awake at night, and people's biggest fear is that if even the invincible madman Lee can't win, then Newcastle is really hopeless...... Luckily, the man who came out of the myth and legend didn't disappoint the Newcastle people!

So, there's a reason to get excited!

There is a reason to be crazy!

And the enthusiasm of the fans is obviously infectious to the Newcastle stars, although they have already exhausted their energy in the game, and they are very tired at the moment, but every hammer is intoxicated by the exaggerated and somewhat sensual pursuit of the fans - "Hey, Michael, you are really our angel...... Haha, incredible senior hi!! If I had a daughter, I would have her marry you......" The old man with gray temples patted Owen on the shoulder excitedly, as if he was really looking at his son-in-law!

The unrestrained beauty lifted her coat and revealed her pink underwear: "Hi, Alain, look here, please sign for me here, you are really a macho man on the court......"

"Uncle Emre, I wonder why you can make a football dance on your lap?" The blonde little Shota in the small magpie uniform blinked his big blue eyes and asked the Turks adoringly!

…… In front of the window, the sea breeze is blowing!

Lee Tong-beom stretched out four teams, and even sang the Newcastle team song with the fans in the hall of the petrol station due to the rain last night...... It's crazy, it hurts all over my body today!

However, it hurts on the body, but the heart is extremely happy!

In his first game in charge of Newcastle, he met Tottenham Hotspur, a strong opponent, and the preparation time was less than three days, so that even after modifications, the players' abilities in reality have not fully increased to the limit...... Therefore, yesterday's battle of White Deer Lane was actually a big challenge for Lao Li!

Fortunately, Li Tongfan survived!

The opponents in the next few games are all weak teams, and Lao Li has plenty of time to improve the team according to his own ideas! Waiting for the final cascade of the league against giants like Liverpool and Manchester United, you will have a greater certainty!

So now, it's time to plan ahead for the team's future lineup!

Thinking of this, Li Tongfan took out the Hummer GO0-book, started FM2008 and loaded the archive, and began to study Newcastle's current lineup!

Forwards!

There are already Michael Irving, Ameobi, Viduka, and although Nicolas Bendtner is on loan from Arsenal and will go back after the season, it will be more than enough to survive the 07-08 season!

Therefore, the front line does not need to impress!

Of course, if there are high-potential demon boys who buy one or two to come in, it is a good choice to make a long-term investment!

Among the midfielders!

Alan Smith, Emre and James Milner and Duff are all good, but there is only one orthodox winger, Duff, and the Irishman system is not very good, often injured, and Lao Li does not want to waste character points on Duff, who is already 28 years old, and must find one or two wingers with first-class quality!

Fortunately, Lao Li already has one in his heart for such a candidate!

Back position!

Although Joey Barton's strength is strong, but last night's brain-dead performance in White Hart Lane is making it difficult to vote for him with all the votes of confidence, once the red card is banned, Lao Li will have to face the end of not being able to stand up with his waist, so he must prepare in advance!

A potential substitute midfielder is essential!

As for the back line, Steven Taylor is naturally impeccable, but everyone else has to be replaced!

In yesterday's game, if it weren't for the low-level mistake of Czech central defender David Lozehal, "dashing brother" Berbatov would not have easily found such a good shooting opportunity in the Newcastle penalty area!

Taylor must be found a qualified partner as soon as possible!

As for the full-backs, the existing Jose Enrique and Charles N'Zogbia are barely enough to last until the end of the season!

But if they have to deal with more tough games next season, the two will still be eliminated!

Therefore, although the substitute candidate is not in a hurry, it is better to prepare early!

Goalkeeper Jiwen can rest assured!

It's a pity that the ability of another 32-year-old backup goalkeeper, Steve Harper, is a bit unsatisfactory!

For a head coach with a serious pedophilia like Lee Tong-beom, a goalkeeper demon with super high potential is indispensable!

…… After looking at the computer screen and evaluating Newcastle's current squad in the FM2008 system, Lee opened the FM2008 scouting tool and began to search for players who suited his needs according to the envisioned search criteria!

【Potential】!

[Current Ability]!

[Team listing price]!

[Player's personal wishes]!

The above four points are the key to searching with scouting tools!

So, every time he found the right candidate in the scouting tool, Lee Tong-fan would enter the FM2008 system and arrange for Newcastle's electronic scout to inspect the player!

In this way, you can know through the report of the electronic football world whether people are willing to come to Newcastle this acre of three-point land!

One...... Two...... Three...... After four full hours, Li Tongfan finally breathed a long sigh of relief and closed the notebook that had already recorded four or five pages of information!

Get it done!

The names represented by those subtitles in the notebook will be the capital of Li Tongfan to dominate the football world in the next few seasons!

Some of these players are still unknown, some are famous, some are at the lowest point in their lives, and some are just starting their football careers...... And what Li Tongfan has to do is to try his best to pocket them and lead them to climb to the pinnacle of glittering honor in world football!

Of course, in addition to the new demons searched in the FM2008 scouting tool, the demons who "tricked" into the [Shiny Red Star] brokerage company last year have also reached the season of "harvesting"!

After a year of development, if the demons signed by [Shining Red Star] have the ability to excel in the available talents, if the conditions allow and the players are personally willing, they must let him come to Newcastle!

It's good to be "your own person", no need to use it in vain!

Grunt~~~~ At this time, the belly of the stuffy man rang out uncontrollably!

Lao Li reacted at this time, he and uncle, Lao Tzu hasn't eaten breakfast today...... Turning his head to look at the alarm clock on the wall, the time flies so fast, it is already more than eleven o'clock at noon!

The team is on holiday today!

The canteen at Newcastle's Rigberton training base is closed!

Alas, Lao Li, a shameless bachelor, had to go out and make do with it!

Before going out, I gave Tolosi Tang Fei a phone call and discussed the itinerary for the second half of the day, and Li Tongfan quickly went to find a place to eat and drink to fill his stomach!

Because, after eating, Li Tongfan and his "dog-headed military division" will go to Manchester City and personally pick up someone back!

A man who has been struggling with despair for a long time!

…… Carrington Training Base - Where the world-famous Red Devils train for their biggest names!

Today is the first day after the game, so the Manchester United first team has been given time off because of the game just finished yesterday!

Therefore, the lively Wellington training base in Pingli seems a bit empty! Without the big names of the first team, Manchester fans wouldn't be here to watch the training!

In the huge base, only the young players of the reserve team and the Under-18s have a boring training session under the guidance of the coach!

Bang bang ~~~~ The sound of the football hitting the net or the goalpost keeps coming from inside the base!

In the base, all the players who were lucky enough to wear the Red Devils shirt are working hard for their future, silently bleeding and sweating!

And among the many players in Manchester United's reserve team, there is one person who has always made Li Tongfan feel a little guilty all along!

He was suppressing the despair in his heart and running at the Wellington training base, sweating and working silently!

Juan Mata, a young Spanish player!

A little guy who seems to have been abandoned by fate!

19-year-old Juan Mata feels that his fate during the year is nothing short of a long-form satirical drama with strong black humor!

Yes, sarcasm!

A year ago, he was still calling for the glory of European football's holiest stadium at the Bernabéu Stadium in Real Madrid, enjoying the title of one of the top ten supernovas of 2007, the media tides and the deafening cheers of the Galacticos fans...... It tastes so wonderful!

However, after a year, everything has changed!

In rainy and humid England, he quickly became one of the top ten parallel signings in Manchester United's history, like an abandoned concubine who was beaten into the cold palace and had no way out, waiting for a few poor opportunities to play at Old Trafford...... And even if he got the chance, he was greeted by an overwhelming stream of shrill boos from the discerning Red Devils fans!

It's 19 years old!

For an ambitious professional footballer, how many 19-year-olds can be left to their splurge? If it goes on like this, sooner or later it will be buried on the training ground!

…… Receiving a careless pass from a teammate, Juan Mata shoots directly from a distance of more than thirty meters from the goal!

Sou!

Like an airplane that has finally lost its gravity, the football crosses the goal high and smashes weakly on the wire fence in the distance!

This shot, like his development in the last year, is frustrating and desperate!

That's when ...... "...... Hey, Juan, come here, Mr. Jean has something to do with you! "Reserve director Lelitus shouts out to Mata from the sidelines!

Jean?

Juan Mata was stunned!

Jean is the head of transfer signing at Manchester United, how could he come to him?

Are there clubs that are interested in them?

Or did the club finally decide to give up on the contract?

Juan Mata is a little numb!

That's good!

Anyway, no matter where he goes, as long as he can get out of the sad place of Manchester as soon as possible, it is a good thing for Juan Mata to ask for!

…… 20 minutes later!

Manchester United's transfer head Jean's office!

Juan Mata looked at the contract in front of him and the smiling face of Li Tongfan on the sofa opposite, and was stunned and couldn't believe it!

Happiness came so suddenly!

The contract is clear in black and white: Newcastle are willing to take ownership of Juan Mata on a short-term loan for the next three months, with half of Mata's weekly salary paid by the Magpies...... If Juan Mata's performances in the closing stages of the season can earn Newcastle club approval, the Magpies are willing to buy him out for £2 million!

This is a short-term loan!

According to the rules of the Premier League, after the transfer market is closed, teams can get players by holding loan contracts to solve their own staffing dilemma!

Mata didn't hesitate to sign his name on the contract!

It doesn't matter if it's Newcastle or whatever, even if it's the second and third divisions of England...... As long as it is a player coached by Crazy Lee, Juan Mata is willing to join!

It's a kind of blind worship!

“…… Plan your itinerary and report from Newcastle in two days' time...... Lee Tong Fan stood up and patted the excited Juan Mata on the shoulder: "If you're in good shape, maybe you can still make it to the next round against Fulham!" ”

This sentence is almost assuring Juan Mata that as long as you come to my territory, you will definitely be the main player!

Manchester United's transfer director Jean and development director Lelitus look at each other and smile! Buy such a player to play in the main team for Newcastle?

The madman Lee is really dizzy!

But it's good that Manchester United can finally get rid of this baggage! Although the transfer fee of 10 million pounds has been lost, Manchester United can save half of the salary expenditure of up to 40,000 pounds per week! The only thing that worries them is that if Juan Mata doesn't perform well at Newcastle and is not bought out by the Magpies, the £2 million transfer fee will be gone!

In the office, Juan Mata didn't have the heart to observe Jean and Lelister's relieved expressions!

There was a burst of warmth from the palms of the "teacher" Li Tongfan on his shoulders, and the sunlight outside the window suddenly became much clearer!

It was an unforgettable afternoon!

2008 is about to enter April, and spring is coming!
