No. [178] round: The new season reinforcements have been basically completed

South Korea's Ji Seong-yong has joined Birmingham, much to the surprise of many.

Dongfang Chen really didn't expect McLeish to bring in Korean players? However, I still know a lot about Ji Chengyong Dongfangchen, and this guy's performance in later generations is still good, and he has a firm foothold in the Premier League.

Ji Chengyong is very similar to Gerrard's style, with comprehensive skills, accurate long and short passes, and a beautiful free kick and long shot, and the only thing that is almost bad now is the defense.

Of course, the current Ji Chengyong is still a fledgling, and naturally he is not as mature as later generations, but I have to say that this is a very potential player.

After the team introduced Ji Chengyong, Dongfang Chen also asked McLeish, how did he think of introducing Korean players?

"During the meeting with the chairman, the chairman put forward a great idea, he hoped that in the future, his team would be filled with players from China, Japan and South Korea, so that Birmingham would become the No. 1 home team in East Asia!" ”

Hearing this answer, Dongfang Chen was a little crying and laughing, and at the same time shocked by Yang Jiacheng's ambition.

It can be seen that Yang Jiacheng's purchase of the Birmingham team is not just a playful attitude, he really wants to build the Birmingham team into a giant club, and it is also a giant team that occupies a special position in Asia.

It seems that Yang Jiacheng is now eyeing the Chinese market and the Asian market.

Dongfang Chen frowned and said: "If so, will this affect the team's results in the new season?" If the team is relegated in the new season, it will be useless to fix all these things, right? ”

McLeish said: "Although Chairman Yang Jiacheng put forward such an idea, it is not for me to accomplish this goal all at once, this can be done slowly. However, Ji Chengyong's strength and potential are very good, and after another year or two of training, he can definitely become a defender at the top of the Premier League. ”

After the introduction of Ji Chengyong, Birmingham did not stop their footsteps.

Three days after the introduction of Ji Chengyong, the Birmingham team's optical network updated the news again, and the Birmingham team brought in South Korean international Lee Qinglong from Seoul FC for 2 million pounds!

Another Asian player, another South Korean international?

Everyone was shocked, what is the Birmingham team going to do? Do they want to make Birmingham a European South Korean team? Or maybe it's the Asian team?

Many of the Premier League's peers are really puzzled by the recruitment of the Birmingham team, is it because of an Asian president that the team has to make the team so strong in Asia?

Many people really can't understand the recruitment of the Birmingham team, so it stands to reason that even if you want to open up the Korean market, you just need to bring in one Korean player, so why do you have to bring in two?

Dongfang Chen was also very surprised, he didn't expect McLeish to pack the Seoul "Double Dragon", which was really surprising.

However, I have to say that Ji Chengyong and Li Qinglong are the two players with the most strength and potential in South Korea except for Park Ji-sung, and according to the experience of later generations, these two still mix well in the Premier League, and their strength is there.

Therefore, Dongfang Chen is not worried about the strength of these two, what he is worried about now is what Birmingham fans think about this matter?

When they saw the team's reinforcements for the new season, Birmingham fans were stunned, they didn't expect the team to come up with such reinforcements, they really couldn't understand it?

Is it true that the team is going to make the team all Asians just because it has an Asian chairman? Do you all think that Asian players are as sharp as Dongfang Chen?

Birmingham fans can't accept the team's recruitment strategy, they express their dissatisfaction on the official website of the Birmingham team, they think that Yang Jiacheng has not considered the team at all, this guy only cares about interests, and cares about the so-called Asian market.

Birmingham fans attacked the team's light net and expressed their displeasure.

At this time, the head coach of the Birmingham team, McLeish, stood up and said: "Although they have introduced two Korean players, which does mean to open the Korean market, they will not bring in two Korean players just because of the Korean market, these two Korean players are powerful, they are definitely capable of competing in the Premier League, these two players are also players I like, I hope you give them a little time." I don't think you have the idea of what you think about after watching them play. ”

Seeing the team's head coach McLeish say this, the Birmingham fans are not making a fuss, and they also know that they must now give the Birmingham team a relaxed preparation environment, and the team will have a better performance in the new season.

At this time, they all buried the dissatisfaction in their hearts, and they wanted to see if the truth was as McLeish said, if not, then they would give McLeish and Yang Jiacheng a good look.

The Birmingham fans stopped, but the outside media didn't. At this time, the outside media believed that the next reinforcement of the Birmingham team was likely to be Japanese, and the Birmingham team must have already formulated a strategy of "conquering East Asia".

At this time, the media in England are speculating about who will be the next Japanese player to be brought in by Birmingham.

At this time, those media have listed three candidates, one is Shunsuke Nakamura, the benchmark for Japanese players in Europe at this stage. Shunsuke Nakamura came to Europe at an early age and was very good, and he also played for Celtic in the Soviet Super League last season, and his performance was very good, and he even scored a free kick against Manchester United in the Champions League.

Now that Shunsuke Nakamura's contract with Celtic has expired, it is said that Shunsuke Nakamura is reluctant to return to China and wants to continue to play in Europe.

However, Shunsuke Nakamura is old and his physical confrontation is very weak, so it may be difficult for him to mix in the Premier League, and he will not even get a few opportunities to play.

The second candidate is Endo Hohito, who plays in Japan, this is last year's Japanese Footballer of the Year, this year's Asian Footballer of the Year candidate, the strength is not bad, it is said that he also has the intention of going abroad to stay abroad, which is a good choice for the Birmingham team.

The third candidate is Keisuke Honda, who is now playing for Fenoh in the Eredivisie, and has been very active in the Netherlands, even sending a dominant table, and it is said that the three teams of PSV Eindhoven, Ajax and Feyenoord are now competing for the Japanese player.

These three Japanese players should be the only ones that the Birmingham team can look at this time, so the outside media are speculating at this time which Japanese player the Birmingham team will bring in at this time?

At this time, the official website of the Birmingham City club was updated again, and the Birmingham team used Manchester City to bring in England's young talented striker Sturridge for 6 million pounds.

Daniel Sturridge is very young, just over a month away from turning 20, but his quality is very good, and his performance in the Manchester City team last season was also very good, but because the Manchester City team has a big consortium in the ownership, they are spending a lot of money to buy people, and it is difficult for a young man like Sturridge to get a chance against Manchester City next season.

At this stage, Sturridge needs to play to train himself and grow rapidly, and Sturridge is naturally reluctant to stay in the Manchester City team.

In fact, at this time, the Birmingham team was not Sturridge's first choice, because the Chelsea team valued Sturridge and hoped to bring in Sturridge.

When McLeish approached Sturridge, Sturridge came close to signing for Chelsea.

McLeish immediately persuaded Sturridge to join Birmingham. McLeish told Sturridge that it's still hard to get a chance when you go to Chelsea, and Chelsea is also the kind of team with deep pockets and too many strikers, and you don't have many opportunities when you go.

McLeish also told Sturridge, but you come to Birmingham City differently, although he McLeish can't guarantee that Sturridge will get the main position, but he gives Sturridge the opportunity to compete for the main team, and at the same time ensures that Sturridge will get at least 15 games or more playing time this season.

Birmingham and Chelsea are naturally not comparable, and Chelsea can beat Birmingham in seconds.

But now is not a good time for Sturridge to go to the big clubs, all he needs is game time, and after much consideration, Sturridge decided to join the Birmingham team and eventually became a part of the Birmingham team. ,

When someone comes, someone leaves, and Doyle chose to leave in the goalkeeper's position, knowing that he would not have any chance of staying here, he went to a League One team, while Krysak went to the reserves.

Pierce, Nafti, Gaddy, Mutz, Augustin and many others have left the team for a new club.

The departure of these people is still very sad for many of the Birmingham players, after all, they have been together for so long, but they are all professional players, these things are so common, they can all understand.

At this time, the outside world is still arguing about which Japanese player will be brought in by the Birmingham team next? Now that the outside world is arguing a lot, they think that it is more likely that it will be Shunsuke Nakamura, after all, they have still achieved success in Europe.

However, at this time, RCD Espanyol announced that they had reached an agreement with Japanese star Shunsuke Nakamura to join RCD Espanyol in the new season.

At the same time, Endo also announced that he has renewed his contract with the Japanese club, and he will not leave Japan now.

The English media are now on target, and the next target for Birmingham City will certainly be Keisuke Honda, who plays for Fenno in the Netherlands.

At this time, Birmingham FC updated the news again, Birmingham FC brought in German midfielder Kevin Prince Boateng from Tottenham Hotspur for 3.75 million pounds, which is the same Boateng who was a smash hit in the Rossoneri in the future.

Birmingham have brought in nine players so far, with the highest cost being £6 million for Sturridge and the lowest being a few free signings, with the nine players costing the Birmingham team a total of £15.55 million. It cost half of the 30 million provided by Yang Jiacheng, but at this time, the Birmingham team's squad has been almost strengthened.

To tell the truth, McLeish is really a master who is not very good at spending money, this guy directly spends a small amount of money to do big things, and the whole plastic surgery is not strong, and now he is thinking, should he come up in a certain position to be super not strong, and introduce a player of about 10 million to take charge?

Yes, although it has been strengthened now, there are young and old people in the team, and it is Dongfang Chen who can really make McLeish have the bottom. At this time, McLeish actually still wants to bring in a strong central defender, after all, Senderos is not enough to convince him, so he is ready to bring in a 10-million-level central defender.

Just as McLeish was thinking about it, a piece of news caught him off guard disrupted his plans.
