This is the 26-member list of Leeds United this season. The list of 26 people is already quite a lot. Although many teams have a list of 32 people, in Zhong Cheng's view, these people are enough, and Many people still have more than one specialty, and Zhong Cheng decides that there is no need to introduce new players.

Zhong Cheng directly announced that the signing of Leeds United this season has been completed, and Leeds closed the transfer door.

After the news came out, everyone laughed at Zhong Cheng madly, claiming that Zhong Cheng's signings were all shit, and they laughed at Zhong Cheng, claiming that if Zhong Cheng used this lineup to play in the English Premier League In that case, Leeds United will lose nothing.

During this transfer period, Zhong Cheng spent about 4.6 million yuan. The most expensive signing was spent on Olich, £ 2 million. Then there was £ 900,000 for Huntelaar, followed by Modric and Joel Luca, who were packed for £ 1 million, then Zimbond £ 350,000, and Vermaelen for £ 200,000. 4.45 million pounds.

This is incomparable to a tens of millions of pounds in the Premier League. After the madman Mourinho joined Chelsea this season, it is even more expensive and cost hundreds of millions. This is naturally Zhong Cheng and Leeds. Unparalleled.

Moreover, the cost of Leeds United is not in the Premier League. Many English League teams this season have spent 10 million pounds to recruit, and tens of millions of pounds. The team is also very crowded.

Leeds United is really drizzle compared to these teams. Of course, Leeds are not too expensive in the transfer market, at least they are not the least expensive team among the Champions League teams.

However, they were rated by the British media as the worst cost-effective team. Bradley Wilson said that although Olic is a Croatian country, the value of 2 million pounds is really too high. His strength doesn't match, not to mention Huntelaar, Modric and the like. They all think that Zhong Cheng is spending money arbitrarily, which is to bring Leeds United into the pit rhythm.

Bradley Wilson also wrote in his column: "Crazy Loya has spent such a large price on the transfer market. All the players introduced have not proven themselves, and many players have not yet. The experience of the professional league are all fledgling boys. These guys can only be called ghosts if they can adapt to the English Champions League. In fact, from the help of Madman Loya, we can see that Leeds United is finished. , Loya is crazy about Leeds United! "

Bradley Wilson also pointed out: "Crazy Loya is a visa-free madness. We all know that after the acquisition of Leeds United, the crazy Loya has a huge debt on his back, but you do n’t need to deduct it Ah, in this transfer market, Loya Loya is a total of 9 players who are exempt from visas, and not counting 3 players from the youth team and reserve team. He has introduced a total of 15 players this season, of which Nine of them turned out to be visa-free, which is the craziness to do so? "

Bradley Wilson also said, "Almost all of these players are young teenagers, and several are amateurs. Of the nine people who were exempt from visas, only Albertini was over 25 years old. People, 32 years old, 25 years old, there are only three people, the youngest is 17 years old, the oldest is only 21 years old. With these visa-free young amateur players, where is the pride of Loya, who dares to claim to be a genius? The courage to come, dare to claim that you want to build Leeds United into a giant? Even ignorant lunatics dare not do so. Loya, the lunatic, is really crazy. "

Bradley Wilson hasn't let go of Zhong Cheng yet, he continued: "According to our statistics, there are only two players over the age of 30 in this Leeds United team, and 25 to 29 (including 25) players There are only 6 players, there are only 7 players between 20 and 25 years old (including 20 years old), there are 11 players between 16 and 20 years old (excluding 20 years old), and there are 2 people only 16 years old. This team is simply A group of kids, what can such a team do? Go to the English League and cry? "Bradley Wilson claimed:" This team with an average age of 21.35 is the youngest in the English League. Can such a team adapt to the high-intensity competition of the English Championship? You need to know, however, that the English Premier League is one of the most competitive leagues on the planet, relying on these non-grown hairs Boy, Leeds United want to mix in the Champions League, this is a big joke. "

Bradley Wilson said with a loud voice: "Seeing these statistics, can anyone dare to say that Leeds could succeed in relegation? In my opinion, Loya the lunatic is totally dead. Loya the lunatic is dead, Leeds are finished! "

Numerous media outlets have reprinted Bradley Wilson's report, and they have echoed it, claiming that Loya, the lunatic, is simply crazy, and he acts in accordance with the rules of football at all. Such a team, even if it goes You can't make it to the top ten in the youth league or reserve league, let alone the English League, the lunatic Loya is completely Hulai, trying to die.

The local media in Yorkshire also had great doubts about Zhong Cheng, and they questioned Zhong Cheng, calling for Zhong Cheng to get away, get out of Leeds United, and return Leeds United to the fans.

The fans of Leeds United are gathered together, madly cursing Zhong Cheng, burning various posters of Zhong Cheng, burning No. 0 jersey of Zhong Cheng, slamming Zhong Cheng outside the Leeds United club building every day, and there are even people Halfway to stop Zhong Cheng, smashing Zhong Cheng's glass.

Even when it was only two days before the new season of the English Champions League, some people issued death threats to Zhong Cheng on the official website of Leeds United, asking Zhong Cheng to resign and leave Leeds within 10 days, otherwise they would assassinate and tear up the votes.

This incident caused a great sensation. Numerous Leeds fans supported these terrorists. This shocked the fans in the British mainland. It turned out that the crazy Madame Loya was so unpopular in Leeds United.

Seeing this, Zhong Cheng was furious, claiming to dig out this group of garbage and bring it to justice.

━━━Split line ━━━

Leeds was noisy that day, very chaotic, and it seemed nothing like the season was about to begin.

Zhong Cheng is very annoyed recently. Long ago, Zhong Cheng implemented closed training to keep the Leeds players away from these hustle and seriously invest in preparations for the new season.

In the first game of the new season, Leeds United will face Derby County at their home.

This is a very good team, and there is still an irresolvable grudge between Derby County and Leeds United. This is mainly due to the grievances between the coaches of the two teams, Don Levy and Brian Croft. At that time, Don Levy's Leeds United and Brian Croft's Derby County were imposing. The team is the most direct opponent.

Don Levy's team lost a point to Brian Croft's Derby County and lost to the league champion. And during that time period, Brian Croft was madly attacking Don Levy, criticizing Don Levy's tactics for being too crude, violating sports ethics, a regression of football, and the cause of resentment between the two. As a result, the grievances of Derbyshire and Leeds came from this.

There was a movie that was written specifically for this thing, called "Devil's Alliance", also known as "Fucked Alliance".

Although the grievances between the two teams are not as fierce as those between Leeds and Liverpool and Manchester United, and not as fierce as those between Derbyshire and Nottingham Forest, this game will definitely be very hot. It is a legacy of the two teams.

For this game, Zhong Cheng has only one goal, which is to win.

The day before the game, Zhong Cheng was interviewed by Kyle Fox, a reporter for the Yorkshire Post. In this interview, Zhong Cheng expressed his determination to win.
