Chapter 424: The beginning

On August 6, Inter Milan's transfer manager Oriali, Leiden Oriental transfer manager Hilton, and Ronaldo's agent Martins met with three parties and signed their respective names on the contract.

After a period of bargaining, Leiden Oriental introduced Ronaldo from Inter Milan for 51 million euros, about 35 million pounds. It signed a contract for five years and had a salary of 4.5 million euros (the other million was paid by Nike). Various bonuses were calculated separately. At the same time, Leiden Oriental obtained half of Ronaldo's portrait rights.

After the contract came into effect, the official website of Leiden Oriental was the first to disclose the news. Then the Milan Sports News, Leiden Oriental and other major European sports media disclosed the transfer one after another. The Ronaldo transfer incident, which had been circulating since the end of the World Cup, was finally settled.

Like Figo's transfer, Real Madrid suffered a heavy blow in the transfer market again. The late-strike Leiden Oriental quickly signed a contract with Inter Milan and Ronaldo himself with a thunderous momentum to recruit the newly released World Cup top scorer and former world football player Ronaldo. This is the second World Cup top scorer introduced by Leiden Oriental after Davao Suk. At the same time, the existence of Ronaldo and Figo also increased the number of World Footballers in Leiden Oriental to two.

Ronaldo, who is still solving some personal affairs in Brazil, did not arrive in London to report as soon as possible. Leiden Oriental Club also explained as soon as possible that Ronaldo will report as soon as possible at the club on August 14, which means that he will definitely miss the Community Shield match, which has just been renamed on August 12.

In fact, Xiao Ming did not intend to put too much effort into this game. Most of the players who participated in the World Cup only started participating in the team's training camp in early August. In this game, Xiao Ming planned to send more players who did not participate in the World Cup to play.

At the same time, Ronaldo's transfer will definitely cause other changes to the team's personnel, especially on the forward line. After Ronaldo arrived, he seemed quite crowded. After Klose learned the news, he had already requested a transfer to the club. Xiao Ming agreed to his transfer application and allowed him to contact other teams. The name of this World Cup silver boot is no longer on the new season player list on the official website of Leiden Oriental.

However, Xiao Ming’s meaning is also very obvious. He wants to introduce Klose? No matter what team it is, there is no at least 15 million pounds, no talk!

15 million pounds, which is nearly 22 million euros, but as a young player who performed so well in the World Cup, it is quite normal for Xiao Ming to mark such a price.

Of course, there is still a long time before the transfer market is over, and Xiao Ming is not in a hurry. As the league champion last season, Leiden Oriental does not need to play in the qualifiers of the Champions League, so there will be no Pike Lose playing, which will make him unable to play in European competitions after the transfer.

At the Millennium Stadium on August 12, Leiden Oriental welcomed last season's FA Cup champion Arsenal in the Community Shield.

Most players who participated in the World Cup, Leiden East could only attack with a remnant lineup. The only complete one was the defense line, with goalkeeper Jass Kleinen, defenders Daniel, Heipia, Campbell, Ashley Cole, midfielder Marklele, Pirlo, Jinklaze, Glenshare, and forwards were Fanny and Phillips.

Compared with Leiden Oriental, which obviously uses the Community Shield as a training venue, Arsenal pays more attention to this game. Heyman, Henry, Pire, Vieira, Lauren, Gilbert and other main players who participated in the World Cup all played. In the end, Arsenal relied on the newly joined Brazilian midfielders Gilbert and Henry to defeat Leiden Oriental 2-1. The goal for Leiden Oriental was Jin Klaze. After a season of rest, Jin Klaze was in a very good condition.

Xiao Ming didn't care about this result, and Leiden East fans didn't care about it either!

Even after the game, several fans of Leiden Oriental said in an interview: "Let's give them the community shield champion, just leave the league champion to us!"

Although Leiden Oriental won the league championship last season after winning the Community Shield Cup, the previous statement that the Charity Shield Cup champion would lose the league championship has been deeply rooted in people's hearts, so Leiden Oriental fans used this to comfort themselves - Besides, our main players are not there. If Gerald Figo all play, can you still win the game? Let's let you have a game first...

In this game, the news off the court is more worth discussing - in this game, Fanny did not wear his No. 9 jersey from last season when he played, but the No. 18 jersey that was vacant because Klose wanted to transfer. At the post-match press conference, the reporter asked Fanny why he had to change the number, and Fanny replied with a smile. He thought Ronaldo was more suitable to wear No. 9. As for himself, he did not have any special requirements for the number, and No. 18 was also very good.

The reporters in the audience couldn't help but wonder if Xiao Ming had put some pressure on Fanny, but seeing the smile on Fanny's face was indeed from the bottom of his heart, without any slightest desire to force him, Xiao Ming smiled on the side, with an unfathomable look on his face.

In fact, it was Fanny who took the initiative to ask Xiao Ming to change his jersey number. When Leiden Oriental's newspapers and websites were hyped up in the news that Leiden Oriental was going to buy Ronaldo, Fanny was the first to respond and said that he was willing to give up his No. 9 jersey. At first, Xiao Ming thought that Fanny was just talking, but when Ronaldo's transfer was finalized, Fanny took the initiative to find Xiao Ming and said that he wanted to give up his No. 9 jersey.

At first, Xiao Ming rejected Fanny's request. Although Ronaldo's wearing No. 9 was of great help in business, after all, the "r9" mark is already deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, this approach can easily make the outside world feel that Leiden East attaches too much importance to Ronaldo, and it is also easy to make Ronaldo a certain degree of hostility to others in the team. However, Fanny insisted on doing this and told other players that this was what he was willing to, which dispelled Xiao Ming's concerns.

Fanny did not make this decision because he did not pretend to be a pretentious move. In fact, he did not have any special requirements for the number. His idol when he was young, like most Dutch strikers, was Van Basten. However, although Ronaldo was the same year as him, Fanny also liked Ronaldo very much. After all, when Ronaldo became famous, he was just an ordinary C player. After that injury, Fanny always felt that he owe something to the club. This was the time for him to repay the club.

The reason why she wore the No. 18 jersey originally belonged to Klose was because in the past few days, Klose's agent had basically found a next home for him. In Germany, many media are calling on the Bundesliga team to bring Klose who was unfairly treated outside the country. Klose is one of the hopes of the old German team. He and Barack are the best German players. If such a hope star cannot play as the main player abroad, it will be a huge blow to German football. The Bundesliga team is actually not short of money, but they do not have the habit of spending money randomly. At least Bayern definitely has the financial resources. After gaining nothing last season, Bayern also wants to enhance confidence by introducing players. Although they have signed Barack, Klose is undoubtedly the player they need - Elber is already old and his performance last season was not very good.

On August 14, Leiden Oriental Club held a press conference to announce the joining of Ronaldo.

The night before, Ronaldo had arrived in London. Leiden Oriental had prepared an apartment for him. It was located in the suburbs of London, very close to Leiden and relatively close to central London. Early the next morning, Ronaldo came to Leiden Oriental Club to participate in the physical examination. At twelve o'clock noon, the physical examination was over.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Ronaldo appeared at the press conference. Journalists from all over the world gathered together, and countless people were looking forward to seeing the style of the World Cup top scorer as soon as possible.

Ronaldo still has Afu head in the World Cup. He seems to be in a very good mood after a successful transfer. When he took the No. 9 jersey with Ronaldo's name printed by Xiao Ming, the pair of big rabbit teeth flashed under the flash.

"I'm glad we were able to introduce Ronaldo. Since two seasons ago, Brazilian players have always been able to create outstanding results in Leiden Oriental. Edmundo helped us win the double championship in the league and the Champions League. Ronaldinho made us defend our league title successfully. Now we have Ronaldo again. Leiden Oriental will definitely create better results in the future." Xiao Ming said to everyone with a smile.

"I'm very happy to come to Leiden East. The achievements of Leiden East in recent years are obvious to all. I dare not say that I can definitely help Leiden East achieve better results than in history, but I will do my best to help Leiden East win, win the championship, and achieve glory." Ronaldo took over Xiao Ming's words. The victory of the World Cup made Ronaldo look new. He felt that now is the time to wash away the honors of his club. Leiden East was already strong enough, and now he has his own franchise... What's the saying, the Chinese saying that the boss said yesterday was like a tiger growing wings!

The tiger itself is already one of the most ferocious beasts on land. Now it has more wings, and even the sky can fly at will!

"I like this metaphor!" Ronaldo thought to himself.

Next, the reporters asked a few topics they were interested in, and Xiao Ming and Ronaldo answered one by one, showing patience.

Xiao Ming was very satisfied with this result, Ronaldo was very satisfied, and Nike was equally satisfied!

The "r9" brand can continue to maintain, which is a good thing for all parties and a win-win outcome.

After the press conference, Ronaldo came to Brisbane Road Stadium and began to show off his skills. Although it was not as good as the transfer to Inter Milan, countless people thought he was the savior, but thousands of enthusiastic Leiden Oriental fans expressed their welcome to Ronaldo.

On August 15, Ronaldo participated in the training of Leiden Oriental for the first time. Leiden Oriental players also expressed their welcome to Ronaldo. Seeing Pirlo here, the two former Inter Milan players also felt like meeting old friends in a foreign land.

During the training interval, Ronaldo, who had already learned that Van Nicht took the initiative to give up his No. 9 jersey, gave his favor and expressed his gratitude to Van Nicht. He was unwilling to have an unhappy fight with the original main shooter because of the number. After all, this happened when he was in Inter Milan before, because he gave up the No. 9 jersey to Ronaldo, Chilean scorer Zamorano added a plus in the middle of his No. 18 jersey, making it "1+8"...

Although that number has also become a good story for Inter Milan, if Fanny is not willing to give up the number and put a plus sign between 18, then Ronaldo will be very embarrassed in the team.

Because he returned to the team at the latest, Ronaldo trained alone. The data during his physical examination had been sent to the desks of the Leiden Oriental coaching team and medical team. According to his current physical condition, the first thing to do is to recover. Moreover, Ronaldo's knees are a little tired and his calf is a little injured. Both Pintus and Levin pointed out that letting Ronaldo participate in the game now is not a good choice.

Xiao Ming had no intention of letting Ronaldo play immediately. After all, he has been recuperating for nearly three years. From his injury to now, Ronaldo has only played less than half a season. He only played ten times in the Serie A game last season, and played seven games in a intensive schedule in the World Cup. Ronaldo's current physical condition is definitely not very good. If he immediately rushed to play for the so-called commercial value and satisfying the appetite of fans, it would definitely be a killing chicken to get eggs.

Historically, Ronaldo only started playing for Real Madrid in October after transferring to Real Madrid, because he was familiar with La Liga.

What Xiao Ming wants is a healthy Ronaldo, rather than a so-called alien who hastily fought one game and two injuries.

Restoring the body, accumulating physical fitness, starting from a substitute, gradually increasing playing time, and gradually allowing him to adapt to the Premier League's playing style, which will allow Ronaldo to perform better in Leiden East and have a longer game life.

Before the start of the Premier League, Xiao Ming sent Jessica away. Jessica, who had been resting for nearly a year, finally got a film contract. Universal Pictures is preparing to launch a low-cost youth singing and dancing inspirational film called "Sweetheart Dance". Jessica's agent won her audition role. The budget for this film is only 17 million US dollars, and Jessica's competition will not be too big.

Jessica is also full of expectations for this movie. This is Jessica's first contact with the big screen after "I Love Beckham". Although this kind of youth inspirational film is not very invested, the box office is often good, and it can also make the starring actor an idol of young people.

Xiao Ming had watched this movie in his previous life, and it was a very easy movie. Jessica performed quite sweetly and cutely in the movie. At the same time, Xiao Ming still remembers a behind-the-scenes - before filming this movie, Jessica had not even attended a dance class, and could be said to be a complete layman, while Jessica made rapid progress during the filming process. Although it included the contribution of her dance coach Lauraline, Jessica's own efforts were equally important - in fact, Jessica is indeed an actor with extraordinary perseverance, but unfortunately, people regard her more as a vase - sometimes it is not a good thing to be too beautiful.

When he was sending the plane, Xiao Ming smiled and said to Jessica: "I killed my fortune for you yesterday. You will definitely get this role. This movie will also be very famous... Don't forget, they all called me the prophet Xiao Ming."

Jessica smiled happily, but in fact Jessica was very sure of getting this role. She also knew the director of this movie. Bill Woodruff, who was once the director of Britney's MTV music album. Jessica believed that she could conquer this director who was famous in the music industry but was only considered a newcomer in the film industry. After kissing Xiao Ming's cheek, Jessica turned around and walked into the boarding office.

Waving to Jessica, Xiao Ming walked out of the airport hall. It was only two days before the 2002-2003 Premier League season was about to begin! Jessica has her career, and he also has his own career. The new season will be the beginning of Leiden Oriental's restructuring and rushing for honor.

On August 17, in the first round of the Premier League, Leiden Oriental played against Blackburn away.

Last season, Leiden Oriental defeated Blackburn away in the semi-finals of the League Cup, but this season Blackburn seems to be stronger than last season. Following Andy Cole, another member of the former Manchester United Blackwind Twins, Dwight York, also joined Blackburn, replicating Manchester United's super forward line. The midfielder Duff, Gillespie, former Manchester United defender Borg on the defense line, Turkish national team member Yunsal, former Liverpool's main right-back Bjoneby and US goalkeeper Friedel, has given Blackburn a very outstanding lineup - although most of these players are no longer in their peak form, they are still powerful.

In this game, Leiden Oriental sent a lineup basically the main lineup, with goalkeeper Jass Cranen, defenders Daniel, Deselli, Campbell, Ashley Cole, midfielder Marklele, Gerald, Figo, Jinklaze, and the forwards were Ronaldo and Van NY, Ronaldo, Pirlo, Glenshare, Deselli and Paul Gerrard sitting on the bench.
