Chapter 3: Leeds city signings

"What makes Leeds fans happy is that the team’s beloved captain Lorenzo Esposito renewed his contract with the team for two years yesterday, and he personally stated in the press conference after the renewal, After the contract expires, he will retire in Leeds... The soap opera about whether the club will renew the contract with the captain finally came to an end at this moment. Anyway, we finally left the captain, which is a way for everyone Satisfying result……"
In the TV news footage, the club’s general manager Eric Dufy and Lorenzo Esposito stood side by side, thumbs up to the camera, and bright smiles appeared on their faces.
"If it weren't for you, Lorenzo would really be sold." Sam Randyll turned to look at Tony Clark and said. "It's really fickle, we were still discussing to sell him last season..."
Clark smiled: "Now and then, Sam. I think Lorenzo is old, but he can still be a useful addition to the lineup. After all, we will inevitably fight on multiple lines in the new season."
"Understand, understand." Sam raised his hands. "So we have brought in many players this summer. But there is a problem, Tony. We have brought in so many new players, but because of the World Cup, they have no way to tie the ball. The team has a good run-in... Hulai did not return to the team on the 6th, Jay did not join the team until the 10th. And Pete is even worse, he may not be able to return to the team until October..."
Clark raised his hand and motioned to Sam to stop reporting the bad news. He also had a headache, but what could be done?
The England team's World Cup tour did not go smoothly.
The first game of the group match failed to win the Czech Republic 0:0. Although the second game won Egypt 2:0, but in the final round of the group stage, they drew with their opponents 1:1 in a contest with Mexico for the group first. , Can only qualify as the second in the group.
In this game, Pete Williams came off the bench in the second half and performed well, which won the recognition of the national team coach Jason Riley.
So in the eighth-finals against the German team, Williams got the chance to start and squeezed out Harry Bernard, who was in poor physical condition after removing the meniscus.
Williams, who started the World Cup for the first time, was very excited and very active.
His outstanding performance made England commentator Matthew Cox full of praise, thinking that the young player trained by Leeds City will be the main force of England's future midfielder after the "captain midfielder".
As a result, at the end of the first half, he collided with German defender Patrick Eswein in a scramble, causing a fracture of the right fibula.
The injury caused Pete Williams to bid farewell to this World Cup in advance.
After fifty minutes, the England team followed in their footsteps and bid farewell to this World Cup.
Williams was injured this time. At first, the media predicted that he would take a two-month truce due to the injury. As a result, he would completely miss Leeds City’s pre-season training this season and a period of competition at the beginning of the season.
Later, after surgery, his absence was determined to be three and a half months. When he returned from injury and returned to the team, he could start training with the team and have the possibility of playing games. It was already in mid-October. Son...
As the team's core midfielder, Pete Williams' injury has dealt a considerable blow to Leeds.
Fortunately, the team bought Jay Adams from London Bridge last season.
Although the midfielder has changed from the midfielder to the midfielder, he can organize an offense anyway. It is not that the midfielder does not even have an organizer.
It's just that if Jay Adams comes to organize the offense, he needs to be reinforced in the position of the back midfielder.
Of course, even if Williams was not injured and Adams would take over for him, Leeds originally planned to strengthen the position of the midfielder.
In the Premier League last season, Leeds scored a total of 86 goals, the highest number of goals in the Premier League.
But at the same time forty-two goals were conceded. This number of goals conceded is not the most conceded in the Premier League. The bottom-ranked relegated Petersburg United conceded 75 goals. They are the team that conceded the most goals.
But forty-two goals conceded is the most among the top four in the Premier League.
This performance is hard to say that they should have won the Premier League title last season.
So no wonder there are people who think that Leeds City can win the championship because of good luck-not how well they performed, but the performance of several teams that normally compete for the league championship last season.
The Stan Park Rangers performed very well, but the game against Leeds not only lost the home game, but also suffered an extreme accident in which the captain Bernard was seriously injured.
It can be said that the Stan Park Rangers are out of luck, and Leeds City has a very good tone.
In the end, there was no one who could play, which allowed Leeds to win the Premier League trophy.
In the old Chinese saying, it is "there are no heroes in time, so that Zhuzi is famous".
Clark also knew that there were some unexpected factors for the team to win the championship last season, and his team's defensive performance was not good enough-although it was better than last season when it was relegated, when Leeds lost 67 of them in a season. The ball-so continue to strengthen the defense.
Jay Adams played well in the defensive midfielder position last season, but after all, he still has to take care of organizing offense, controlling the rhythm, and not defensively. And because he first stepped into the football game to train for the midfielder, so the defensive ability itself is not strong, his defense now depends on tireless running and tenacious will.
Spain's defensive midfielder Jose Vieira is a true defensive midfielder, but his problem is that his speed is too slow, the frontal interception ability is acceptable, and once he is breached, he will be finished. It's okay to be a substitute, expect him to play the main force and cover the entire midfield to defend... It's really unsatisfactory-the opponent has already moved the football before the other person has reached the position, then he can only be exhausted.
The signings in the position of the defensive midfielder have become the top priority of the club's signings this summer. In the end, the club spent 25 million pounds to buy the team's main defensive midfielder from the Bundesliga Gossen United. The Ghanaian international Salif Sedou.
I hope the arrival of this midfielder's iron gate can improve Leeds City's defense in the midfield.
At the same time, the transfer fee of 30 million pounds is also the "standard king" of Leeds so far-not only the current season, but also the most expensive player in Leeds history.
Sedou played in the Bundesliga Berlin Gerson United for seven seasons and has always been the main player. He was also selected as the best team of the Bundesliga for the season five seasons ago. His strength is naturally beyond doubt.
This is why Leeds City is willing to spend 30 million pounds for him.
In addition to the midfielder, the signings on the front line are also the top priority.
Because Lorenzo has embarrassed the task, the position he let out needs to be filled.
Although Hu Lai was the top scorer in the Premier League last season, he must also consider that the defensive pressure on him must be unprecedented in the new season, and he must find someone to share the pressure with him.
During the World Cup, Leeds City and the Polish Warsaw Club reached an agreement to introduce the team's young talented striker Dominic Laski with a transfer fee of 25 million pounds.
The 23-year-old Polish striker is 1.84 meters tall and well-proportioned, but he is definitely not strong.
Compared with Lorenzo, he is most outstanding in his skills at his feet. In the Polish league, he can often stage the wonderful scenes of one person holding the ball from the encirclement of two or three people.
The technology is comprehensive, capable of shooting and transmitting. Last season, he finished third in the Polish Premier League's scorer list, scoring 18 goals and assisting 10 times.
Scored assists in double figures, showing his versatility in passing.
And this performance is also an important reason Leeds fancy him.
There are many ways to share the defensive pressure for Hu Lai, one is to score the goal in person, and the other is to attract the opponent's defensive force and pass the ball to Hu Lai who is empty.
What this requires is good scoring ability and ball making ability.
It just so happens that Lasky has it all.
He is different from Lorenzo's type of strong center who relies on his body to protect the football and then plays for Hulet. He relies on excellent foot skills to control the football and then divide the football.
In fact, Laski is also a rising supernova in Polish football, and has long been stared at by major European teams, among which there are many more famous giants than Leeds.
But why did Laski choose Leeds in the end?
On the one hand, Leeds City is willing to give money, 25 million pounds is about 30 million euros, to buy a 23-year-old young player, other giants may not be as clean and neat as Leeds City pays—not to mention others The giants are not rich in Leeds, but they think Laski may not be worth thirty million euros.
On the other hand, Leeds City promised to give Laski the main position.
This is the decisive factor.
Leaving the Polish domestic league to go to the real mainstream stage of European football, Laski, as the top representative of young Polish players, certainly has his own ambitions.
What's the point if you go to those wealthy clubs but you can only serve as water dispenser watchers?
Although he is a young player, he can't say how young he is at twenty-three.
If you spend another season or two on the bench, your career achievements may be lower by more than one or two levels.
At this point, Lasky, the young man, has a maturity and foresight that does not match his age.
So he rejected those big names, and didn't keep the drinking fountain in order to satisfy his vanity.
Instead, he chose to join Leeds, who just won the Premier League title "by luck".
For him, no matter what, this is also the Premier League champion.
Even if it is not a giant, no one would think that the transfer of the third player in Poland to join the Premier League title is considered "condescending."
※※※
Sedu and Laski are the two major signings for Leeds this season, in addition to other positions Leeds also made reinforcements.
For example, in response to the lack of manpower on the side, they spent 18 million pounds to introduce Liverpool United’s Welsh right forward Jack Walsh. This Welsh international can play on both sides, with good speed and a certain assault ability. , Is a wide player. He will compete with Charlie Water for the starting position on the right.
In addition, Leeds City also has supplements in multiple positions such as full-backs and central-backs.
Some are recruited through transfers, some are on loan, and some are promoted from their own youth team and reserve team.
As a result, the number of registered players in the first team in Leeds has reached as many as 30.
These are all arrangements made to cope with the new season's multi-line combat ~EbookFREE.me~ and it was just different from the former only being in England. This time, Leeds City will participate in the UEFA Champions League as a Premier League champion.
In this football game that truly represents the highest technical content on the planet, they will compete with the giants and strong teams from Europe.
They may be a blockbuster, or they may be beaten up and see the cruelty on the game table of the rich.
But in any case, this is already a great leap for their team that was still worrying about relegation two seasons ago.
After all, being able to sit at the poker table and dance with those big guys who could only look up to before is already amazing.
