Chapter 69 - Chapter 70 I don't care

Xiao Ming's arrival in the Czech Republic this time seemed to be very smooth, but in fact he put a lot of effort into the early stage. He began to prepare to find a successor for Beckham when he knew that Beckham would not be able to stay. Although Hackby can also play in the right midfielder, his best position is still in the forward position. At this stage, Pobosky is the best candidate.

At first, Xiao Ming thought Pobosky was in Sparta Prague or Slavia Prague, because in his impression, the candidates for the Czech national team that was successful in the 1996 European Cup almost all came from these two teams. However, after getting the first-team list of these two teams, he did not find Pobosky's name. It was not until he checked the player list of all teams in the Czech two-tier league that he found that Pobosky, the Czech international, was actually in a second-tier team.

However, the preparations at the beginning were not useless. Xiao Ming found Jankoler's name in the first team roster of Sparta Prague. After the season, he found that Jankoler did not seem to be favored in Sparta Prague. However, it is no wonder that Sparta Prague is playing very exciting ground-cutting technology. Although Jankoler's feet are good, it is not in line with the offensive rhythm of Sparta Prague, so it is normal to not be favored.

If Xiao Ming wanted to buy a player like Nedved who had become the main player in Sparta Prague, Sparta Prague would definitely not agree. No one is a fool. The Czech Republic will participate in next year's European Cup. If he performs well, the value of these players may have a leap. I'll sell people now? Unless they have their brains in their minds.

What about players like Jankoler who have not yet been selected for the national team? It doesn't matter. Anyway, the club is not the main player, and there is no possibility of being selected for the national team. Besides, he is now twenty-two years old and doesn't seem to have any future development. If this English club wants him, then sell it to them.

This is not short-sighted by the management of Sparta Prague. In fact, it is already a very wise decision that they are determined to resign the main players of Nedved and other clubs and national team members at this time. However, after all, people cannot see the future. Who would know that this big man will become the best player in the foreign league in the future except for a few people such as Nedved and others?

When Jankoler learned that an English club wanted to introduce himself, he was also a little surprised. After confirming the authenticity of the matter, he agreed to sign with Leiden Oriental very readily. He is already twenty-two years old and is not young. After transferring to Sparta Prague last season, he thought he could get opportunities in this Czech champion team. As a result, he played few times in a whole season, and it is also a good choice to be able to change the environment.

After signing Jankoler, Xiao Ming felt very satisfied. Although he didn't know whether Jankoler could adapt to the style of English football, players like him who are outstanding in height and good at fighting against outstanding players are very popular in England, and he is not completely a center who only knows how to use his head, and his feet are also quite good. This is where he beats many English centers.

Jankoler spent 300,000 pounds on Xiao Ming to introduce Solskjaer, Pobosky and Jankoler to spend 1 million. This is half of the liquidity on Leiden Oriental's books. If it weren't for the 700,000 pounds from Ward, Leiden Oriental would have a financial crisis - but all this is worth it. Xiao Ming believes that in the past one or two years, this million investment may be exchanged for more than 10 million yuan, and perhaps more than that.

After the breakthroughs between Jinklaze and Pobosky on both wings, there were Jankoler's competition for the top and Solskjaer's encirclement in the middle. The power of this offensive lineup is not something that the English League Two teams can block. There is no problem with offense now, and defense... There are still no good candidates for the two full-backs, but in the position of the central defender...

"Sir Ferguson, Sir Ferguson, since you have dug two of your people, you don't care about digging one more, or you don't do it. If you want to do it, just make a big deal."

On the flight back to London, Xiao Ming thought complacently.

This time Xiao Ming’s goal is another future Manchester United superstar, the main hero of the triple crown, Dutchman Japi Stam.

This is one of the players Xiao Ming thinks is most confident. After carefully reviewing the list of players in all levels of the Netherlands last season, Xiao Ming was surprised to find that the Dutch Giant defender has not yet gone to Eindhoven, but has played for a team named Kampul. You don’t believe it. Last season, Kampul worked hard in the Netherlands fourth-level league. Thinking about a future world-class central defender who is already 23 years old in such a small club, I would be sorry for myself if I don’t take action.

This time, Xiao Ming did not come to the door by himself, but sent Hilton and two members of the transfer department to the Netherlands to handle Stam's transfer matters. Even if the level of the Eredivisie is not much worse than that of the Premier League, now Leiden Oriental is a team in the third-level league, so it is still easy to poach a person from the fourth-level league team...

This time, Xiao Ming's four targets were not English, so he didn't care about this. Although Leiden East had basically been mainly English players in the past, he didn't care about this so-called tradition - although he now has British nationality, he was not an Englishman in his bones.

Besides, where are the cheap and good English players going to find? Irving? He officially signed with Liverpool at the age of fifteen, and was favored by Liverpool, played for Liverpool at the age of seventeen and scored goals, and made a genius in the World Cup at the age of nineteen; Gerald? This tough midfielder is only fifteen years old now, and Liverpool club's attention is also on Irving. He did not notice Gerald, who is one year younger than Irving, but this future Red Army captain is Liverpool's most loyal fan. As a member of the Liverpool youth team, his loyalty to the club is even more than Irving. It is not difficult to poach him.

Besides, how many outstanding players are there in England at this stage? How many are there now that Xiao Ming can use them now? Any talented young player in England is hidden by the club like a treasure. It is better to have an idea about English players than to focus on foreign players who are easier to succeed like Professor Wenger.

What about Rooney Lennon Walcott's, now they are still runny little kids, what are you doing? Besides, with Leiden Oriental's current youth training level, don't waste these kids.

The tradition of Leiden Oriental? A tradition that can only work hard in the low-level league? If this is the tradition, it would be better not to.

Now all Xiao Ming wants is to bring Leiden East to the top league as soon as possible. As for the others, he doesn't care at all.

Looking at the list of players in front of him, Xiao Ming let out a long sigh.

Compared with the earth-shaking changes in the first team roster before the start of last season, the changes in the player roster this season are not much. Except for Beckham and Carl who returned to their respective clubs, Ward transferred to Birmingham for 700,000 pounds. Defender Warren, midfielder Garland and forward Larkin were sold to several English-C teams by the club, other players were retained and bought Stam, Pobosky, Jankoler and Solskjaer. The first team members were reduced to twenty-three.

Last season, Leiden Oriental said that it was going to play rotation, but in fact, the gap between substitutes and main players can be said to be quite large. This trend will not change much this season. Stam, Pobosky, Jankoler and Solskjaer will become the main players. Last year's substitutes will basically be substitutes and will not have any impact. Just like Leiden Oriental's changes will not have any impact on world football.

Last season, Manchester United capsized in the gutter. Blackburn still won the league championship after losing the last round of the league. The two consecutive championships were terminated. In the Champions League match, Ajax defeated AC Milan, who was in full swing with a shocking blow from the talented teenager Cruivit to win the championship of the Champions League. This was the beginning of the collapse of the AC Milan dynasty. In addition to failing to defend the Champions League, Serie A's three consecutive championships were also ended by Juventus. However, no one expected that Cruivit's goal actually became the peak moment of his career. After that, he spent a failed season in AC Milan and went to Barcelona. Although he scored a lot of goals in Barcelona, ​​he unfortunately won only two league championships. The protagonist of those two league championships was not him, but Rivaldo.

Cruivet's performance seems to be a microcosm of Ajax. They lost to Juventus in the Champions League final next season, and since then, the team has never reached the final of the Champions League, or even the semi-finals.

Ajax is the most impressive example of the victims of Boseman's transfer rules.

In the early days of the implementation of Boseman's transfer rules, major clubs were not used to this method of easily plundering talents from clubs without money. They were still exploring slowly. However, when they adapted to the new transfer rules, Ajax, known as the star arsenal, became the first target to be plundered - Van der Sar, Koku, Frank de Boer, Ronald de Boer, Orvimas, Litmanin, Cruivett...

After plundering from the Netherlands and France has become a habit, the clubs of the four major leagues have begun to turn their attention to other less famous leagues. Before the 1996 European Championships, teams such as Belgrade Red Stars in Yugoslavia, Belgrade Guerrilla, Bucharest Stars in Romania, Porto of Portugal, Benfica, Malmö of Sweden, Panasinacos of Greece, and Bruges of Belgium have all entered the finals of the Champions League and even won the championship. However, after 1996, as the four major leagues began to start around the world

With desperate poaching, the Champions League has become the game of these three major leagues. In addition to Porto and Monaco entering the Champions League finals in 2004, all the teams in the Champions League finals came from the teams in the four major leagues after 2006. This is also the biggest reason why Platini was able to become the chairman of UEFA with an overwhelming advantage after attacking the giants and winning over small and medium-sized teams. However, although he used all means to suppress the monopoly of the four major leagues over the Champions League, the advantages of the four major leagues in the Champions League are still unshakable.

This is the best time, this is the worst time.

Fans can see a super giant team composed of world-class stars in all positions. This is a team that makes all fans look enthusiastic about it. However, the consequence is that the living space of a large number of small and medium-sized clubs is compressed, and countless teams are facing financial crises, while large clubs can burn huge sums of money in the transfer market every season.

This is the age of wisdom, this is the age of stupidity.

Manchester United, who seized the opportunity, began to surpass Liverpool and became England's greatest club. Nottingham Forest, who failed to keep up with the times, struggled in the Premier League for a while and then relegated to the League One, and never came back; Bayern began to establish his position as Hollywood in the Bundesliga, but Dortmund was in a slump due to a series of business mistakes; Real Madrid and Barcelona began to truly dominate La Liga, and the decline of Valencia and La Coruna made La Liga enter the era of duo. After you finished singing the three top three in Serie A, Roma and Lazio gradually became mediocre after winning a league championship in an overdraft manner.

This is also an era of the rise of heroes. Chelsea, which has little historical heritage, has begun to become a giant that no one dares to ignore. Sevilla used his smart management methods to become the third corner of La Liga. Lyon created the great achievement of seven consecutive Ligue 1 titles. Before that, they had not even won a Ligue 1 championship. Hoffenheim completed a miraculous seven-level jump in 20 years.

From 1996 to 2006, within the past ten years, the impact of Boseman's transfer rules gradually subsided, and the pattern of European professional football gradually became clear. After that, there will be no surprises in the three major leagues. Every year's championship competition is just a game between those few teams, and the others are just studying with the prince.

This is a spring of hope, and this is a winter of disappointment.

Xiao Ming did not want to stop these things from happening. Although the European football world after the 21st century was much less exciting than in the last century, this was the general trend and could not be stopped by human will. This was not something that anyone could stop. Any behavior that wanted to stop the wheel of history would be crushed by the speeding wheel like the mantis blocking the road.

Of course, Xiao Ming didn't want to be that mantis. He wanted to be the one who divided the cake, and he also had to get the largest piece of cake.

This is of course very difficult for Leiden Oriental, but the implementation of Boseman rules has brought Leiden Oriental opportunities. If the current transfer rules are the same as before, a club can only have three foreign players, no matter how good Xiao Ming does, he will not be able to bring Leiden Oriental to the top teams in a few years.

Since God has given me this opportunity, no matter how slim it is, I have to do this!

Maybe this is the worst era for many teams, but for me, it is the best era!
Chapter completed!
