Chapter 34 - Chapter 35 Ending of the signings ()

On the way back from Georgia, Xiao Ming's face was always smiling. To be honest, Xiao Ming, who had dealt with Brin, Holland and Hackby, the three future Premier League players, was not particularly happy, because with the English-Central team they are in, it was nothing to dig up these people, let alone Hilton took action. Although Xiao Ming was happy to deal with Barack, it was expected. After all, Barack is not even an amateur player now. As long as he finds him, it is not particularly difficult to dig up.

Now he is poaching a member of the national team! Although Georgia is not a strong team, they are part of the former Soviet Union. The level of Soviet football is also quite high. In the 1970s and 1980s, he also had the reputation of "world champion of friendly matches" (Khan, is this a reputation?). Being able to poach a member of the national team is a very remarkable thing in teams of the British and Cleveland level. At that time, Leiden Oriental's fame may increase a lot.

Although the value of players is reflected on the stadium, it is not only reflected on the stadium! Two players with similar levels may have much greater fame and treatment as national players - the world is snobbish, but no matter what industry it is.

On the court, Leiden Oriental's transfer move this summer can be said to have transformed the team. Think about it, a future German national team superstar, the main player of the Georgian national team, two future Irish national team main players, and a Premier League striker, these five people can completely form a strong central axis. Xiao Ming thinks that this lineup can achieve good results even in the English League One!

The only problem now is probably that the main lineup has been replaced by half, and a tacit understanding needs to be established again. At the same time, all the offensive cores will be new players, and it will take a certain amount of time to integrate into the team.

Jinklaze followed Xiao Ming to London. After seeing the training base of Leiden East, Jinklaze began to feel that his choice should be quite correct. It was obvious that Leicester training base was quite good, and even Dynamo Tbilisi, which Jinklaze had been to before.

After all, Georgia is a small country. They have only been independent for a short time. Although Dynamo Tbilisi was also a team in the Russian Premier League before, the Soviet Union's economic situation was very bad before Georgia's independence, and the team will naturally be affected. This is really not as good as the Leicester training base, which has invested a lot of funds to purchase facilities this summer.

"In the future, more things will be added to this training base! One day, Leicester training base will become a base that is no worse than any famous training base!" Xiao Ming said to Jin Klaze with great enthusiasm. Jin Klaze couldn't help but nodded. He believed this, and Xiao Ming had a convincing power.

After signing a four-year contract with Jinklaze, Xiao Ming ordered the club's staff to find an apartment for Jinklaze in Leiden and live with Barack. The other three new players are from the London area and they have their own place to live.

After returning to the club, McDonald recommended two more players to Xiao Ming. Although Leiden East is a mortal enemy of West Ham United, its relationship with Tottenham Hotspur in North London has always been very good. He can often loan some young players who cannot play for the game for the time being. This time, one of the recommended players by McDonald is an Irish player. Stephen Carr, who is less than 18 years old. This right back was promoted to the first team in the Tottenham youth team last season. However, Tottenham now has two right-backs who are right-back Austin and Kslake, who are legitimately playing, and cannot give him enough opportunities to play, so he wants to loan him out for exercise.

He is the future Irish national team player again. Although Carl has always been the substitute for Leeds legendary captain Gary Kelly in the national team, he has always been the main right-back in Tottenham. In 2002, the Irish national team had many outstanding full-backs, such as Kelly, Carl, Leeds' left free kick expert Hart and Liverpool player Finnan, both are excellent full-backs. It seems that during that period, Ireland's full-backs had a blowout.

"Can you buy it out?" Xiao Ming asked MacDonald. He was not very willing to use it on loan. Needless to say, if he played well, he would be trained for others...

"It may be difficult." McDonald shook his head: "The coaching staff of Tottenham Hotspur are unanimous and optimistic about Carl. If it weren't for not having time to let him play, he wouldn't have loaned it. If we didn't have a good relationship with Tottenham Hotspur, we wouldn't have loaned it to us. As long as Tottenham Hotspur spoke, even if there were many English League Two teams rushing to loan Carl."

"Damn, is it so exaggerated?" Xiao Ming murmured in his heart, but after two years, Carl played as the main player at Tottenham, and he played for six or seven seasons in one play. In the turn of the century, he was the most popular player of Tottenham. If he hadn't experienced a serious injury before the World Cup in 2002, he might have been able to live in Tottenham.

"Okay, then let's rent it out. We are a little weak in the full-back position, so it's good to make up for it." Xiao Ming nodded and decided to make up for the loan.

The other is Ashley Ward, a 24-year-old striker of the British Cliff Clut, a center who has been in the low league for a long time. He scored thirteen goals in the British Cliff last season, with a strong impact. Now Leiden Oriental strikers are young people in their twenties. He can bring rich experience. After understanding the situation, Xiao Ming also agreed to the signing.

"It's a pity that there is no good left-back. McCassy can only be said to be qualified. But forget it, this lineup is more than enough to play English and C. Now with Kim Klaze on the left, he only needs defense. Now Leiden East's lineup is a fantasy lineup. What's the point of upgrading? Even in the League Cup and the FA Cup, there is hope to make a comeback."

After MacDonald left, Xiao Ming thought complacently alone.

Before the pre-season training camp began, Leiden Oriental Club held a small press conference to announce their signings this season to reporters and fans.

Spurs loaned from Tottenham, Irish right-back Stephen Carl, 20,000 pounds from Gillingham, Irish central defender Gary Blin, 30,000 pounds from Crew, England striker Ashley Ward, 50,000 pounds from Lincoln, England striker Darren Hackby, free signings for Irish midfielder Matt Holland and German midfielder Michel Barak, 250,000 pounds from Dynamo Tbilisi, Georgia, Jozell Kinklaze!

If the top six people don't feel strange (one loan, two free transfers, three players bought from the English-Central team), then signing an international player is definitely an amazing move for a English-Central team!

"Although most of the main players were let go, the joining of Jinklaze alone was enough to increase the strength of Leiden East to a higher level!" The Leiden Evening News began to vigorously build momentum for the local team after the press conference. However, except for the Walthamsto area, other regions may not agree with this view - for the English who are accustomed to being arrogant, is there football there?

July 27th is the day when Leiden Oriental's pre-season training begins. All players who have obtained the club's new contract will concentrate on that day. Although the 20-day training time is not very long, it is impossible for teams in low-level leagues to find a sunny resort to start training, because the expenses will be too high.

"Stephen, how is the summer?"

David Morrison had just run to the front of the training base and saw a familiar figure standing in front of the training base. Hearing his greetings, McGrady turned around and said, "It's not bad. I'm training myself every day. I must play as the main player in the new season!"

"Kelly and Rean have both left, you should be the main force." Morrison looked at McGrady with a little enviousness.

"Caso has left, maybe you will be the main player too! But I just don't know if the new head coach will bring other players here." McGrady nodded. For young players like him, even if they performed well last season, they would have to strive for the main player position in the new season.

"Seventeen first teams last season left. Yesterday, the press conference said that seven players were introduced, a total of twenty-four people. I don't know if there was a little less." Morrison calculated based on his fingers and said hesitantly.

"Isn't it good to have few people? You're stupid." McGrady looked at the junior brother who was one year younger than him: "The fewer first-team players, the more opportunities we can play games? Like last season, there were too many people, and we would laugh at the bench."

"Yes." Morrison was excited: "The boss is wise, the first team doesn't have so many people."

The two of them walked into the base while talking, and the old guard Green opened the door for them: "Stephen, David, it's so early for you."

"Good morning, Uncle Green." The two greeted Green: "Are we the earliest ones?"

Green laughed: "The new German and Georgians are half an hour earlier than you, so you should come!"

"No?" The two young men screamed, waved goodbye to Green and ran to the first team's training ground immediately. They can't be compared by these newcomers!

Xiao Ming stood in the training ground and looked at the twenty-four players who had arrived with satisfaction.

The first day of training started at 9:00 in the morning, and it is only 8:30 now, and all the players have arrived.

"Good morning, gentlemen." Xiao Ming coughed dryly and took a step forward: "I'm glad you were here so early today, which shows that you are full of confidence in the new season... Let me introduce myself, Xiao Ming, chairman of Leiden Oriental Club, you probably already know this title, but what I want to tell you now is that in the next season, I will become your head coach and fight with you for the qualification of the English League Two."

"Wow!", except for Jin Klaze who already knew this, other players showed surprise. Several new players had never encountered the chairman as the head coach before. When the old players saw MacDonald standing aside, they thought MacDonald would continue to be the head coach...

"I know this may surprise you, but that's the truth." Xiao Ming looked at the expressions of the players with satisfaction and said with a smile.

The players who experienced the last stage of last season accepted it after a while. After all, they played very well in the last month of last season. Xiao Ming has been directing the coaching bench. A person who can lead them to victory, no matter what his identity is! The new players have not yet figured out the situation, so naturally they will not express their opinions casually.

This is the benefit of a small team. If you change to a Premier League team, someone will definitely have questions.

"This season we have left many players and transferred six players... Now please stand up and introduce your identities to your teammates." Xiao Ming continued.

Six new players stood up, Xiao Ming pointed at Jinklaze: "Jozeel, come first."

Jin Klaze, who is already a member of the Georgian national team, will naturally not be frightened. He is also the most famous player among Leiden Oriental now: "Jozel Jin Klaze, a Georgian, can play in all positions in the frontcourt."

After saying this extremely awesome, Jinklaze stood back.

"Michal Barak, German, midfielder." Barak said it simply. Although he has been learning English recently, he can only have simple conversations.

"Gary Bryn, an Irish man, was born in London, central defender." Bryn is a tough white guy.

"Mat Holland, Irish, midfielder." Holland's words were also very simple. He was from the West Ham youth training camp and had a certain understanding of the enemy relationship between Leiden East and West Ham United.

"Darren Hackby, born in Nottingham, is a striker. I hope to help Leiden East return to the League Two as soon as possible!" Hackby, who looks a bit like Vieri, is obviously very simple, and he says the most.

"Ashley Ward, forward, is very happy to come to Leiden East." The twenty-four-year-old Ward is the largest player to this transfer and speaks very skillfully.

"Stephen Carl, the Irishman, right-back, came on loan from Tottenham Hotspur." Carl, who was only seventeen, still had a hint of shyness on his face. Although he was a month older than Barack, compared to the calm Barack, he was like a child.

After all the newly joined players introduced themselves, Xiao Ming waved them back to the middle of the players: "There are eight fewer first-team members than last year, with only twenty-four people, but the decrease in number does not mean that the competition will weaken. There are only eleven players who can play, and there are only sixteen players on the bench, and there are still eight players who will sit in the stands. The performance of last season is a past tense. I will only look at the state you show on the training ground now. Whoever is in good shape will be the main force. It's that simple. In my team, no one will have privileges. If you are in poor condition, I will let you sit in the stands. It's that simple."

Hearing this passage, Jin Kraze did not feel that he was deceived by Xiao Ming. He had absolute confidence and his ability was definitely the best. In the team, privileges were achieved by relying on himself.
