Chapter 58 - Chapter 59 Entering the finals

Ferguson's phone call brought strong stimulation to Xiao Ming, but at this stage he could only keep his passion in mind. At the same time, he also knew that with Leiden Oriental's background and current foundation, it would not be possible to become a giant in a few years. Even Chelsea, after being injected with huge capital by Abram, developed rapidly and became one of the most powerful teams in the European continent in a few years. However, before Abram, Bates had laid a good foundation for Chelsea. Stars such as Gulit, Viali, Zora, Deselli and other stars gathered a lot of popularity for Chelsea. Before Abram took over, they had become one of the most powerful teams in England, so that they could develop rapidly. Manchester City in later generations did not have such a foundation, so even though the Arabs did not know how much money they invested, they could not change the image of Manchester City's mid-season team.

However, one thing that is beneficial to Xiao Ming is that the Premier League has only been more than two years since its results, and its sphere of influence has not been decided yet, and the strong team is just trying to grab the cake. Unlike when Manchester City received huge financial support, the Premier League semi-finals were basically controlled by Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool, and there is basically no room for the fifth strongest. Now, as long as you enter the Premier League as soon as possible, you are still sure to get a pie from the Premier League that has not yet divided the sphere of influence.

Shortly after Ferguson called Xiao Ming, two days before the transfer market closed, Manchester United announced the transfer fee to Everton, with unknown transfer fees.

There are rumors that Kancherski was transferred because he had a feud with Ferguson. Ferguson, who insisted that there was only one voice in the locker room, mercilessly transferred the outstanding winger who played more than 100 times at Manchester United and scored 28 goals. However, in Xiao Ming's view, Ferguson's move was more to pave the way for Beckham...

Xiao Ming did not tell Beckham that Ferguson called him, but seeing that he had more chances of playing at Manchester United next season, Beckham was more serious in training, and his performance on the court became more and more eye-catching. The young heartthrob is extremely looking forward to his performance at Old Trafford next season.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Ming could only sigh. It was already a luxury to make Beckham play for more than half a season. It would be better not to be too greedy. Besides, Leiden East really has no capital to be greedy now.

In the following period, Leiden Oriental continued to make great strides on all fronts. After defeating Preston and Carlisle United in succession, the two teams that had defeated their opponents in the first half of the season, Leiden Oriental's advantage in the league was no longer shaken. In March, Leiden Oriental, in addition to meeting another Premier League team in the fourth round of the FA Cup, was eliminated, and had already led the second place in Carlisle United by as much as 20 points in the league. With ten rounds left in the league, it had basically secured a promotion place.

In the Qualification Cup match, Leiden Oriental also reached the final of the South District, with its opponent being Carlisle United, ranked second in the English and C.

After tackling Carlisle United with a total score of 4-1 in two rounds, Leiden East entered the final of the Qualification Cup, and their opponent will be North District champion Birmingham.

This team, which later became famous in China because of a Chinese boss, is still at its own low point. Since they were reduced to the current English League Two in 1989, they have passed by the promotion three times in a row. However, they played quite well this season and have basically been qualified for the English League Two championship. They are likely to return to the English League One next season.

"This year's Qualification Cup final is quite interesting. The finals are played by Leiden Oriental, who is now basically locked in the English C championship and Birmingham, who is basically locked in the English C championship... Both teams have shown excellent form in their respective leagues. Leiden Oriental once set a record of 15 consecutive wins in the league, and is now more than 20% ahead of the second place Carlisle United. Even in the English C League, this is a very impressive number... Although Birmingham has not had such a long winning streak, they have an advantage of 11 points ahead of the second place Bradford with ten rounds left in the league. In terms of state, both sides are evenly matched. Now there are four weeks left before the final of the Qualification Cup.

During this period, both sides will play six rounds of league games. It is estimated that both sides have ensured to win the championship by then, and there will be a very rare competition between two champions of the two levels. However, although Leiden Oriental has much better results in the League Cup and the FA Cup this season than Birmingham, I believe they still have an advantage in this final. After all, there is a huge gap between the English C team and the English Birmingham team. Moreover, Leiden Oriental was relegated from the English Birmingham last season. Last season, Leiden Oriental lost twice at the feet of Birmingham. Birmingham first had a psychological advantage in this game. After all, the difference between English C and English Birmingham and English Birmingham is just like the difference between seventy kilograms and seventy-five kilograms in boxing matches."

"Is the final between the English C champion and English C champion?" Xiao Ming sneered and threw the newspaper into the trash can: "This reporter probably hasn't seen our performance in Anfield and White Hart Alley... What happened to the two losses to Birmingham last season? I haven't come yet when I lost to Birmingham! There are boxing games. I wonder if the bigger the Chinese Kung Fu movie, the lower the level of the lower the level?"

After despising this reporter, Xiao Ming began to prepare for the next league.

With ten rounds left, he was 20 minutes ahead of the second place. This point gap basically means he has won the championship in advance. So although he has not yet ensured his championship, Xiao Ming also plans to let the substitutes who are not usually on the court.

In the following game, Leiden East began a large rotation. In addition to the two players, Jinklaze and Barack, still many games, even the two unstoppable main players, Carl and Beckham, were replaced in turn. Xiao Ming wanted to prepare for next season's game. After all, it was basically impossible for Carl and Beckham to loan next season.

However, the result of the rotation made Xiao Ming a little discouraged. Although the team's substitute right-back Annan and substitute right-midfielder Morrison are quite good and are quite good among British-C players, they can't replace Carl and Beckham at all. But thinking about it, just find two players from the English-C level team to replace them. Then Beckham is a big deal.

After one win and two draws in three league games, Leiden Oriental is still leading Carlisle United, which is 18 points ahead of Carlisle United. In the next round, as long as they defeat Colchester at home, they will be able to win the league championship six rounds ahead of schedule - because their goal difference far exceeds Carlisle United!

On March 29, the day when the 40th round of the UEFA League C began.

At this time last season, it was also the 40th round. Xiao Ming watched the game on the spot for the first time as Chairman of Leiden Oriental. Leiden Oriental lost at home at Birmingham. After the game, the angry fan Sawyer threw an orange and hit Xiao Ming in the back of the head, making Xiao Ming the first chairman to be knocked out by fans just after watching the game on the spot. Leiden Oriental became the laughing stock of all teams in the English League Two. A year later, Leiden Oriental became the first team to advance to the English League Two, and Xiao Ming became the first chairman in Leiden Oriental to lead the team to advance to a higher round of the league as both the chairman and the head coach!

When Xiao Ming learned about the ticket sales situation in this game, he was a little stunned. Today, in addition to the more than 9,000 tickets, all of which were sold, he also sold 3,000 tickets! Almost all the gaps between the stands were filled with people, and even the four corners of the stadium that were not built were filled with people. Those who stood in the back row could not see the situation on the field, but they still bought tickets and stood there after entering the venue!

"Nothing will happen, right?" Xiao Ming asked MacDonald with some concern. McDonald shook his head indifferently: "What can happen? Our stadium is not a very old stadium. The quality of the stands is very good. Even if the fans in the four corners are crowded, nothing will happen. Moreover, there are many police nearby today, so it will not cause riots."

Xiao Ming thought about it and could only go with him. However, he began to deeply feel that the stadium was indeed relatively small. It seems that he should invest some money this summer to buy the factory building in the north, first make a large stand, and then wait until next season to demolish the north stand, so that the entire stadium can move dozens of meters north. In addition to increasing the area of ​​the south stand, it can also lengthen the length of the two stands east and west. In this way, there should be no problem to add six or seven thousand seats. In addition, if the four corners of the stadium are used, it will not be a problem to double the capacity of the entire stadium.

As for adding a floor of stands above the stands, it’s better to wait for a while. At least you have to wait until you enter the Premier League. Until the League One, the stadium with a capacity of nearly 20,000 people is almost enough.

After setting up tactics in the locker room, Xiao Ming walked into the stadium while thinking about his thoughts. When he sat down on the coach's seat, a huge chorus suddenly sounded behind him: "Don't give us a chance! Don't give us a chance! Chairman and head coach, don't give us a chance!"

Hearing this song, Xiao Ming couldn't help laughing. Without turning around, it must be Saoyan's group of guys singing behind the back. These guys have always occupied the stands behind the home team's coaching seat. Every time they are home games, they will use such a song to remind Xiao Ming - if the team plays a garbage game, Saoya will give Xiao Ming a punch!

Xiao Ming was a little unhappy when he first listened to this kind of singing, but later he got used to Xiao Ming and began to like these guys. At least, with them, the atmosphere of the stadium on Brisbane Road gradually became a bit "devil's home court". Due to their passionate performance in the stands, other fans in the stands have begun to shout like them, using dirty words and middle fingers to deal with the visiting team. This small group of fans, which originally had only more than 100 people, is now gradually growing and growing, almost reaching a scale of nearly 1,000 people.

Xiao Ming stood up, then turned around and saw the most conspicuous Jack Sawyer in the crowd.

As the leader of this group of people, Sawyer is always so passionate. His arms raised and roared can stimulate the fans in several nearby stands, making them roar crazy together. Moreover, his loyalty to Leiden East is beyond doubt. This forty-year-old former shot put thrower was held by his father before he was weaned to watch Leiden East's ball. The whole family is a loyal fan of Leiden East - and the most loyal type. Except for Leiden East's game, no other super team can watch it!

You should know that in England, even the lowest-level teams will have their own loyal fans, they often like other teams. For example, the fans of an amateur team may like Manchester United and Liverpool. These two likes do not conflict because the two teams they support are almost no chance of meeting!

But Sawyer is not such a fan. He only supports Leiden Oriental! Even when he challenged Liverpool away, he would hold his middle finger high in Anfield stands and roar loudly: "Damn Liverpool, go to die!"

If Liverpool is replaced with teams like Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Newcastle, he will do this without hesitation.

"Soya, you are in good spirits today." Xiao Ming tilted his head and looked at the energetic Soya with a smile.

"Nonsense, after being demoted by you, the bastard, we finally returned to the English League Two. How could I be unhappy!" Saoya shouted loudly, and the fans next to her burst into laughter. Of course, they knew that Saoya was stubborn, and Leiden East was relegated to Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming was not angry either and smiled and said, "Okay, what if we can enter the League One this time next year? What would you do?"

"Then I'll let you punch again!" Sawyer shouted loudly.

"No need, how about treating me to a drink?" Xiao Ming replied.

"Okay, I'll call my daughter Chris to drink with you!" Sawyer pointed to his side. Xiao Ming then realized that today Sawyer was not surrounded by his two best friends Michael and John, but a beautiful girl wearing a baseball cap, a white T-shirt and jeans.

This beautiful girl has slightly curly blonde hair, milk-like fair skin exudes the brilliance of youth, her upright nose, and a slightly fat face make her look so cute, with a healthy blush and a few drops of sweat on her face, which is obviously the traces left by the loud cheer just now.

"A very cute girl." Xiao Ming exclaimed in his heart, one word: cute, two words: cute, three words: kawaii...

He did not stare at the girl and looked at her hard. He had seen more beautiful women in his previous life. He only looked at her twice before showing a look of surprise: "Soya, are you sure this is your daughter? It's a biological miracle... By the way, she looks very much like her mother, right?"

Saoya opened her mouth and laughed: "Yes, she looks better than her mother... Bastard, are you saying I am ugly?" Saoya, who came to her senses, began to wave her fists at Xiao Ming.
