song of the saints

Chapter 81

The next morning, Chen Zhun and his team left Manchester and returned to their familiar place.Because there is still a week before the next game against Middlesbrough, Chen Zhun decided to take a two-day holiday to let the players have a good rest.I also need to accomplish some things.

It was late at night when Chen Zhun returned home. He watched the videos of all the goals conceded by Southampton this season at the base, hoping to draw conclusions from them. The protection outside the line is not enough, and the second point of defense in the penalty area is almost non-existent.These fatal defensive loopholes are pinched together, Chen Zhun now thinks that he is really lucky to be ranked in the top ten.Chen Zhun also knew in his heart that he was far from being able to solve these problems. The most important thing was to increase the coaching team, but Chen Zhun's favorite Hierro had not retired yet, so he had to pin all his hopes on Reid.As for Reed's future use, Chen Zhun naturally asked him to return to the appropriate department, that is, the youth training system. He hoped to use Reed to create a different youth training system in England, no longer the backward British youth training in the past, He only focused on body and speed, and lost the most important technical and psychological qualities.Of course, the road is long and arduous.

Another sunny day!Chen Zhun immediately felt happy in his heart, sat up straight, put on his tracksuit and went for a run.Although it has entered winter and the weather outside is getting colder and colder, it can't stop people's enthusiasm for sports.It was just after six o'clock, and the athletes who came and went could already be seen running towards their respective spots on the street, and Chen Zhun also joined the ranks.Some of the runners recognized Chen Zhun, but they just smiled at Chen Zhun and continued to run, unlike Chen Zhun's homeland, where swarms of bees surrounded you, and they probably explained here today.

Chen Zhun was already out of breath after only running three kilometers today. Looking at his body with a little belly through the mirror, Chen Zhun wondered in his heart at this moment whether the real body of this body would be so unappreciative of his beautiful body. What kind of expression.Chen Zhun shook his head with a wry smile. After taking a shower and eating breakfast, he went directly to the training base. Although the players had rested, he was very busy these two days. He knew that Ferguson would definitely make a transfer offer to him today. , and what he can do is to hold back Ferguson, and after he has settled the new goalkeeper, he will give Niemi to Fulham and let Manchester United get nothing. In fact, Manchester United will not be greatly affected. The starting goalkeeper of the team will be the prey of Manchester United, and Ferguson prefers that one when I see it.Chen Zhun knew that the consequence of doing so would be that Ferguson would hold a grudge against him. After all, he let go of the best coach in the Premier League, so he also thought of a countermeasure.

The training base was extremely deserted. Ruddick and Arnesen were both outside doing their own business. Today, Chen Zhun and them contacted by phone to decide on the transfer.

As soon as Chen Zhun sat on the chair in the office, he received a fax of Manchester United's official transfer offer. Looking at the fax, Chen Zhun thought that Ferguson was really impatient. impatient.

Chen Zhun took the transfer offer from the fax machine and put it in the trash can. He didn't want to pay any attention to Manchester United's offer, because he deliberately let Ferguson take the bait to buy Niemi.Now he had nothing to do but wait for good news or bad luck to come from the front from Ruddick or Arnesen.

Dingling, the ringtone of the phone, Chen Zhun picked up the phone and saw that it was Rudick calling.Chen Zhun looked at the phone with hope in his eyes, took a deep breath, and connected the phone.

"How? I hope it's good news."

"One good news and one bad news? Listen to that?"

"bad news."

"Fulham are not interested in Niemi, they are going to use substitute goalkeeper Crossley."

"What about the good news?"

"Fulham have agreed to Liverpool's offer of £300 million, Edwin van der Sar has also agreed to transfer and has gone to Liverpool for a medical examination."

Chen Zhun pondered for a moment, then said quietly: "It's not bad, the rest is up to Arnesen!"

Rudick said optimistically over there: "Now the Manchester United team may have started to fantasize about Niemi wearing a team uniform to guard the gate, haha."

Twenty or ten minutes later, Ferguson was still waiting for Southampton's reply in the office. Although there was no news at all, the seasoned Ferguson was not in a hurry and was still looking at the team information step by step.

After a while, Arneson called.

"Hey, Frank, I don't want to hear bad news! You know it!" Chen Zhun said jokingly. He knew that the Parma team, which was in deep financial crisis, would not reject such a transfer offer, but now it's up to Parma. What chips would Ma ask for.When Chen Zhun thought of the Parma team in his previous life being punished to the lowest level of the Italian league due to bankruptcy, he felt embarrassed.Pulling back to reality, Chen Zhun was waiting for Arnesen's answer.

"As you wish! Parma agrees with Christian's transfer, but they require Niemi to be included in the transfer chips. I'm here to ask your opinion."

Chen Zhun is now secretly glad that Fulham did not want Niemi, otherwise the development of the matter would not be in his own hands.

"Agreed, you tell the Parma club now, Nemi plus 200 million euros!" Chen Zhun said confidently.

After Arnesen hung up the phone, he received a text message from Arnesen 3 minutes later, in which there were only two words, a deal.

Chen Zhun was relieved when he saw the word transaction. Although Christian Frey is not yet a top goalkeeper and his positioning is always full of problems, the current Christian Frey is indeed suitable for Southampton.Chen Zhun formally sent the official transfer offer to the Parma club through a fax machine.

At the same time, Ferguson sent a transfer offer to Southampton for the second time, and called Chen Zhun's office, but no one connected or replied. At this time, Ferguson felt a little weird in his heart. I was trapped inside.

Two minutes later, a fax from Southampton confirmed Ferguson's intuition. The fax said the transfer was cancelled, and Niemi had other transfer arrangements, sorry.

Holding this fax, Ferguson's hands trembled with anger, and he kept scolding Chen Zhun's parents. In the end, he even tore the fax into pieces, and scattered it all over the ground like heavenly maidens.But get angry, Ferguson understands that this is a common thing in the transfer market. It has happened before that players temporarily change their minds and switch to another team, so there is no one to blame, who made himself too careless.Ferguson is still comforting himself like this now, he didn't expect Chen Zhun to deliberately put Manchester United together.
