Chapter 1478, the young white army!
In the summer of 2016, a number of transfer deals that shocked European football continued to stimulate the nerves of fans.
Pogba parted ways with Laco and moved to Manchester United for β¬105 million. As a talented French midfielder who has already won everything in Laco, he hopes to return to the place where the dream began. After Pogba's transfer, Mkhitaryan also arrived at Manchester United for 42 million euros, and Manchester United's midfield this season is extremely luxurious.
Higuain joined Juventus for β¬90 million, a deal that, although expensive, but at the same time weakened rivals Napoli, the deal was well worth it.
After Pep Guardiola took charge of Manchester City, he started the rhythm of "buy, buy, buy". The β¬55 million price tag brought Chelsea target John Stones to the blue moon. Pep Guardiola, who attaches great importance to attacking players in the midfield, first aimed the direction of reinforcements at the backline. After Stones arrived, Guardiola once again spent 50 million euros to buy Schalke 04 talented star Leroy Sane, who is a technical talent that Guardiola likes very much.
Arsenal, which has paid off the stadium loan this summer, has also invested a lot of money in the transfer market, Mustafi and Xhaka have joined back, and Arsenal has spent more than 100 million euros this summer.
The Premier League's powerhouses have started to buy big players, and everyone is looking forward to which big-name stars will Leeds United buy?
But unexpectedly, Yunsheng did not bring big-name stars, but a group of young players came to the "White Army".
Monaco academy youngster Kylian Mbappe.
Southampton Dutch centre-back Virgil van Dijk.
Hull City's tall centre-back Harry Maguire and left-back Robertson.
Lyon's young midfielder Fekir.
Lille young right-back Pavard.
β¦β¦
Yunsheng bought more than a dozen young players in one go!
Soon, the English press blew up!
"Who are these people?" The Times has commented on Leeds United's recent transfer with an exaggerated headline.
And the Daily Telegraph is digging deep into Leeds United's youth team movements.
"In addition to these unknown youngsters, Yunsheng also personally bought a few younger lads and placed them directly in the Leeds United youth team."
"De Jong of Ajax, De Ligt? These two lads have just been promoted from the youth team to the first team. β
"Erling Haaland of Blaney in the Norwegian First Division? Did Yunsheng buy him because his father was the famous old Haaland? Or is it because Haaland Jr. was born at Leeds United and has more affection for it? β
"And Sancho, Foden and other little kids, I even have to dig through the information to find their personal information. I really don't know what Yunsheng is doing? What are these kids capable of? β
The Guardian also expressed confusion about Yunsheng's move in the transfer market.
"When Yun Sheng became the manager of Leeds United, he said that his goal this season was to win the domestic treble in the Premier League, but looking at his buying principle, it seems to be wrong?"
"With young signings like Mbappe, Van Dijk and Robertson, you want to compete for the treble? It's a joke! Or does Yunsheng think that the team is strong enough to play in the Championship, with players such as Bernardo Silva, Bruno Fernandes, N'Golo Kante and Riyad Mahrez, who won the Championship last season? Does he want to replicate Leicester's title-winning myth? Or do you want to regain your Bundesliga miracle at Cottage bus? β
"This is the Premier League, it's the number one league in the world! Even if Yun Sheng has proven his strength in other places, it does not prove that he will definitely be able to conquer England! β
"Judging from the transfer situation, I don't think he wants to compete for the title at all, he simply uses Leeds United as a youth training base! Leeds United fans' expectations may be disappointed. β
Criticism from the outside world continued, but Yunsheng still didn't care.
After buying young players in a row, Yunsheng finally brought in world-class players.
Yunsheng's Laco veteran Zhang Linpeng transferred to Leeds United for 50 million euros!
Zhang Linpeng's transfer made fans and the media a little relieved.
That's pretty much it.
Next, Yunsheng signed former Barcelona goalkeeper ValdΓ©s, who will become Leeds United's rotating goalkeeper in the new season.
And the main goalkeeper of the new season is still the main goalkeeper of the Championship last season - Huaguoren, Yan Junling!
A few years ago, Yunsheng ran the transfer of Yan Junling early, and he is already a veteran of this Leeds United team.
From the third goalkeeper and second goalkeeper at the beginning, to the main goalkeeper last season, Yan Junling has gained a firm foothold in this old powerhouse with his own efforts and diligence, and has made rapid progress.
What makes Yun Sheng most happy is that most of Yan Junling's growth is on his own, because he is not by Yun Sheng's side, Yun Sheng has few opportunities to cast spells on him, so Yan Junling's growth depends to a greater extent on his own efforts and talents!
The number one goalkeeper of the Chinese national team in the later generations, after getting the opportunity to stay abroad, gave full play to his talent!
There is another Chinese player in the Leeds United team, who came to Leeds United at about the same time as Yan Junling.
20-year-old young striker - Zhang Yuning!
This Chinese center forward, who was brought to Europe by Yunsheng early, has already gained a firm foothold in Leeds United with his excellent aura and running, and has become the top scorer in the Championship last season, and is the hero of Leeds United's promotion!
However, in the new season, it is really difficult to say how Zhang Yuning will perform in the Premier League, Yunsheng plans to let Zhang Yuning play as a substitute and introduce another main striker.
What Yunsheng wanted most was Tottenham's centre-forward Harry Kane, but the chase was unsuccessful. Benzema, Lewandowski and several other players have no possibility of transferring, Yun Sheng sighed secretly, after all, Leeds United is only a promoted horse, it is difficult to attract such a famous world-class star, and he has to consider bringing in a star who is not famous for the time being, and it is best to have Premier League experience.
In the end, Yunsheng brought in Salah from Chelsea for 18 million euros.
Originally, Salah had already negotiated with Roma for a price of 15 million euros, but Yunsheng suddenly bought someone and offered an extra 3 million euros. Coupled with Yunsheng's good relationship with Abu, this transfer is easy to negotiate!
In addition, Yunsheng decisively played an A-level [Lian Po is not old], pulled a veteran striker who was about to retire into the team, and persuaded him to retire a year later, and Leeds United helped him bring young forwards, especially Zhang Yuning.
37-year-old German veteran Klose, airborne Leeds United!
As a representative of the previous generation of center forwards, a player-oriented player, and a striker with outstanding character and professionalism, he has always been Yunsheng's idol!
Klose joined the team, and Yun Sheng did not hesitate to play another S-level [mentor and friend], so that Zhang Yuning and Klose could reach a master-apprentice relationship!
Being able to learn from Klose is a great luck and happiness for Zhang Yuning!
The future Egyptian football king has joined the team, the veteran Klose has joined the team, and the young center forward Zhang Yuning, in the case of no European competition in the new season, Leeds United striker line is worry-free!
According to Yunsheng's idea of building a team in the previous team, he will definitely vigorously promote and cultivate young players, Yan Junling, Zhang Yuning, and now Leeds United has two Chinese players, but for Yunsheng, it is not enough!
Soon, new Chinese reinforcements were in place, and the Huaguo Legion in the Laco team continued to expand!
