Chapter 77 - Chapter 78 Big Day

"The new season is about to begin... Thinking about this time last year, I was looking forward to the start of the league with great anticipation, but this year, why do I seem to have no feeling anymore?"

Sitting in the visiting coach's seat at Bloomfield Road Stadium in Blackp, Xiao Ming thought with some emotion that Xiao Ming didn't care much about today's opponent Blackpin. You should know that in the League Cup last season, Blackpin was easily defeated by Leiden Oriental. Although he left three main players this season, Beckham, Carl and Ward, he added four strong players Stam, Pobosky, Jankoler and Solskjaer. Xiao Ming was confident that Leiden Oriental was much stronger than last season.

The starting lineup sent by Xiao Ming today is goalkeeper Hilton, four defenders Haji, McCassie, Stam and Bryn, midfielders Holland, Barack, Jinklaze and Poboski, and the two forwards are Jankoler and Solskjaer. In this lineup, in addition to the mediocre strength of the two full-backs, the other players are at least at the future Premier League level. Barack is even a superstar level. Using this lineup to play in the English League Two is really a bit like a cannon to beat the mosquitoes. There is also a top-notch Hackby in the English League One. In order to form this lineup, Xiao Ming spent about two million. Now it seems that these efforts are quite worth it.

Although the cooperation between the main lineups is not very tacit, after almost a month of training together, the cooperation between each other is OK. Barak controls the midfield, Jinklaze and Poboski fly together, and the middle lane with Jankoler's cover and Solskjaer's grabbing points, thinking about the power of this lineup is also quite terrifying.

Ninety minutes later.

Xiao Ming stood up from the visiting team coach's seat with his hands raised. Thousands of Blackp fans in the stands looked as if they were dead. They never thought that the team they supported would lose so badly at their home court.

Three to zero, Solskjaer and Pobosky, who represented Leiden East for the first time in the official game, shone brightly. Solskjaer scored two goals in the first half. In addition to directly assisting Solskjaer's first goal, Pobosky scored the third goal in the second half through a long-distance run.

Compared with their outstanding performances, Stam and Jankoler, the two giants in the first and second, seem a little quiet, but when they get a set piece opportunity in the frontcourt, they can always pose the greatest threat.

"Now we can expect that we will definitely be very successful in the league this season." Xiao Ming said to MacDonald beside him with a smile.

McDonald nodded. Blackpin was the tenth place in the League Two last season. He was easily defeated by Leiden Oriental, which proves that Leiden Oriental is definitely the best in the League Two. As long as you play well, it should not be a problem to enter the League One?

Three days later, in the first round of the League Cup, Leiden East swept another downstream team in the League Two, Sherus Berry, five-to-zero home. In this game, Xiao Ming rotated three players, Hackby, Wilkinson and Otno, three main players from last season, played the whole game. Xiao Ming, who was very at ease, replaced three young players in one breath after leading the big score, including Daniel, who had just entered the first team this season. However, after taking the field, Leiden East slowed down the offensive rhythm, and Daniel was honestly guarding in the backcourt. The only time he inserted an assist and made a cross was wasted by McGrady, who also came on the bench.

"It's already good to behave in a good manner for the first time when we play." Xiao Ming said to Daniel after the game: "I sent you to the game today just to let you slowly feel the atmosphere of the formal game... Our games will not be too few this season, and your chances will not be too few either."

Daniel nodded heavily, and a firm light shot out in his eyes.

On August 24, in the second round of the league, Leiden Oriental's first home game this season, facing Luton on Brisbane Road.

"This is a very interesting opponent..." Xiao Ming looked at a newspaper and laughed.

Last season, Leiden Oriental took over Luton, which was also the fourth official game since Xiao Ming took over Leiden Oriental. In that game, inspired by Xiao Ming's "even if he was relegated, he could not be relegated as the last one", Leiden Oriental, who had basically been relegated ahead of schedule, defeated Luton, who still had a chance to enter the top six. After the last game, although Leiden Oriental won, he was still relegated three rounds ahead of schedule. Luton, who lost the game, completely lost the opportunity to enter the play-offs. Luton, who was seriously injured, played a mess in the League Two last season and was almost relegated in the end. If you want to ask which team Luton fans hate the most, it is estimated that half of Luton fans will say it is Leiden Oriental.

Luton was also full of this emotion, so when Luton's team came to Walthamsto, their head coach claimed in the interview: "Although Leiden East is very powerful now, even in the away game, we will make Leiden East not get a satisfactory result in the first home court this season!"

The newspaper that Xiao Ming is looking at now publishes the words of coach Luton.

"This is really relaxing... What does it mean to not be a satisfactory result? If we want to defeat ourselves, why should we?" Xiao Ming left the newspaper. He didn't have time to pay attention to this ordinary team in his eyes. Today is a big day...

On this day, when the music of www.piaotian.comdowww.piaotian.comdows95, which Microsoft has been promoting for a long time, Xiao Ming really felt like crying.

People always have to make progress. Xiao Ming never left the computer almost every day in his previous life, but now he has been without a computer for more than a year. Speaking of which, he is not very good at using computers under the Dos system. With the release of www.piaotian.com, Microsoft will truly become the overlord of the software industry! The Microsoft stocks he owns can also appreciate rapidly, bringing him huge wealth.

Luton resisted extremely tenaciously on Brisbane Road. As their head coach said, no matter what, even if the strength shown by Leiden Oriental now almost exceeds the scope of the League Two team, they will not be so happy to win Leiden Oriental away!

Seeing almost all the players from Luton retreating to their half-court defense, Xiao Ming remembered the famous saying in later generations: "They stopped the bus in front of the goal..."

However, Luton made the wrong plan. Now Leiden East is not afraid of the other party's strict defense.

Jinklaze and Pobosky were like two sharp knives, constantly cutting the opponent's defense from the wing, and then sent the ball again and again. Jankoler in the middle was majestic in front of the goal, and both central defenders could not stop his header and headed. Finally, relying on Jankoler's two headers, Leiden East easily defeated Luton 2-0 at home, and ranked first in the English League Two points table with the advantage of goal difference.

"The veteran British Second League team returns strongly, with one million and a half million transfer expenses aimed at the English League"

Looking at this report, Xiao Ming couldn't help but be happy. It seems that the media in the world are the same. He only won two games in the league. This title is very Sina.

However, in this world, there is everything. Among the 24 English League Two teams, Leiden Oriental has the highest investment before the start of the season. Four new players spent 1.2 million yuan in transfer fees, but if you think about selling a Ward, you will earn 700,000 yuan. In fact, Xiao Ming’s investment is not much.

After Windows 95 was listed, Microsoft's stocks began to rise rapidly, but Xiao Ming would not use this money for the time being. Since he knew that Microsoft's stocks would maintain a high growth rate until 1999, there was no need to sell them in panic. This means that in the next few years, what Xiao Ming could use is the current working capital in the club, and spending is absolutely enough. However, his plan to develop the Leicester training base and build this base into one of the best training bases in England will also be stranded.

Wenger used the money to sell Anelka to build the most modern Kearney training base in Europe, but Xiao Ming now has no 20 million, only 2 million. Arsenal built the Emirates Stadium at the cost of Wenger's five or six years of money to buy people. However, Xiao Ming is not able to do these things yet. The new stadium you want to build is not 20 million, but it can't be defeated by 200 million, and it requires 400 million, 500 million, or even more.

Before buying Microsoft stocks, Xiao Ming had worried, what if there was a deviation in the world? You should know that any small change may lead to different results. Microsoft also encountered extremely difficult times. Before Windows 95 was launched, they promoted it for more than half a year before it went public. Who knows if Microsoft encountered any problems at that time?

But now, everything is on track. What Xiao Ming has to do is wait until he thinks that Microsoft's stock price is at its highest before choosing to sell, or when he has a better investment target, such as Google, which was established a few years later... that's a gold mine.

Although Xiao Ming has no money at hand now, he has never relaxed in some aspects within his ability. A large gym has been built inside the training base, filled with various training equipment purchased. These inconspicuous things cost Xiao Ming almost one million. No wonder Kaft complained a while ago.

Fortunately, all the packages for Leiden Oriental have been sold in the new season. One package is 100 pounds, and two thousand copies are 200,000, and the expenses for the first team are also released.

As for team doctors, Xiao Ming had asked Wood to find several regular licensed doctors in the local hospital in Leiden. In the past, those team doctors were only responsible for helping with cleaning and other chores. He did not want Barack to be injured repeatedly because he came to Leiden East and retired in his twenties... This kind of thing has not been encountered in the previous England court.

"Mr. Tony, it's been a long time."

Xiao Ming and Tony Wood hugged. This old man rarely came to watch the game on site recently. Xiao Ming hadn't seen him for a long time. When Old Wood pushed open the door of his office, Xiao Ming felt a little guilty. He seemed to be a little bit like burning the bridge across the river...

"I am older and have poor energy. Some time ago, the doctor said that I had some heart problems and told me that I should not go to the live game, so I came less." Old Wood smiled kindly: "I am here today, I want to recommend someone to you... Is the team still lacking a team doctor? My friend recommended me an excellent team doctor."

"It's so scarce, why don't it be scarce? Now the three team doctors are too busy to massage the players after training. The former team doctors can't help much, so I dare not let them be responsible for the players' recovery and treatment." Xiao Ming sighed. There are so many players in a club, and the three team doctors are really too busy to be busy. Xiao Ming is definitely not in need than to be too careless in this regard. He is not willing to joke about the players' bodies.

"Haha, then I'll recommend someone to you." Old Wood laughed: "Do you know Gary Levine?"

Xiao Ming was stunned for a moment, then he thought about the name carefully in his mind and realized: "The Gary Levine, who has been a team doctor in Arsenal for nine years, is the famous sports therapist Gary Levine? Couldn't he recommend him?"

Xiao Ming remembers this name not only because Gary Levin has been a team doctor at Arsenal for nine years, but before the start of the 2002 World Cup in the future, a major event that caused a sensation in the world football world. In the Champions League game, the captain of the England national team Beckham was injured by Argentina's Argentine midfielder Dusher, and is likely to miss the World Cup. A part-time team doctor from the England national team cured Beckham's injury in time, allowing him to appear on the World Cup. In the 2007-08 season, Eduardo's terrible injury was also due to Gary Levin's treatment, which continued his football life...

"No, it's not him." Old Wood shook his head and poured cold water on Xiao Ming: "He is now Arsenal's chief team doctor, how could he come to us... I'm talking about his nephew, Colin Levine, a young man who is only 21 years old. He has just obtained the qualification of a licensed sports therapy physician and is also a member of the Association of Licensed Sports Therapy Physicians. Gary originally wanted him to join the Arsenal team doctor group, but I found him first."
