Tyrant of green giants, signed Guardiola at the beginning

The FA's warning is not enough to deter extreme fans.

Otherwise there would be no notorious football hooligans in England.

It's just that during the Christmas holiday, the weather is freezing, and extreme fans don't want to cause trouble during the holiday and bring trouble to their families.

But they will definitely be wary of dishonest opponents' fans in the stadium.

West Ham United finished in the top six in the English Championship last season and fought their way through the play-offs to achieve promotion.

It can also be regarded as the return of a veteran Premier League team to the top stage.

He has more background than most unknown newly promoted horses.

The current ranking in the middle is the best proof.

Among the three newly promoted teams, Leeds United is the strongest and leads the Premier League.

West Ham United is second, ranked in the middle, and has no worries about relegation.

Sunderland are the weakest, bottom of the league and favorites for relegation.

Fleet Street also commented that this year’s newly promoted teams are rare and strong in history!

On December 12, a piece of news that caused a sensation in the Premier League early that morning was "West Ham United officially made an offer to Leeds United for Rivaldo!"

Hammers boss Alan Pardew is justified.

"As a world-class star, it is unbelievable that Rivaldo only earns a weekly salary of 2 pounds at Leeds United. He should receive higher treatment. At least West Ham United is willing to pay him a weekly salary of at least 5 pounds!"

West Ham United were previously in contention for Vieri, with Fleet Street already being hyped as targeting Leeds United.

Now there is an open attack on Rivaldo.

Whether successful or not, it is believed to have a great impact on Leeds United.

If it happens, Rivaldo will transfer and leave, and Leeds United's combat effectiveness will decline.

If it fails, Rivaldo learns that other teams are willing to give him a weekly salary of 5 pounds. Doesn't he have negative thoughts about Leeds United?

Rivaldo was originally considered a player with an eccentric personality. Once he is not handled properly, staying in the team may be a big hidden danger.

West Ham United launched an offensive here.

Middlesbrough followed suit just before midday.

Following the example of West Ham United, they also made an offer of 400 million pounds to Rivaldo.

McLaren also accepted an interview immediately and said: "Middlesbrough is willing to offer Rivaldo a weekly salary of 6 pounds!"

are you crazy?

No!

A weekly salary of 6 pounds is only 300 million pounds a year.

As long as the Premier League team successfully avoids relegation, it can get at least 1800 million pounds from the broadcast revenue.

Leeds United has already received 1225 million pounds this year and is expected to receive at least 1500 million pounds by the end of the season.

Spending 300 million pounds to raise a striker core will put no pressure on Premier League teams.

They just can't offer players a weekly salary of more than 5 pounds like Chelsea, with many players earning a weekly salary of 10 pounds.

There is a problem with Leeds United's wage structure.

The outside world will know it at a glance.

Too many max players.

Basically all old stars who have had brilliant careers are at this level.

Among the teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League, the median players with similar salaries basically earn around [-] pounds a week.

Therefore, Leeds United cannot raise the maximum salary.

At least not yet.

Middlesbrough and West Ham United took action openly, instantly making other teams excited.

In the afternoon, Everton also made offers for Rivaldo, Jamie Redknapp, Claudio Lopez and Candela.

Prices range from £300 million to £500 million.

It is not necessarily the case that Everton will take away all these players.

They are willing to give double the salary to anyone who is willing to come.

Simple, rude.

Moyes then spoke up.

"Leeds United is squeezing and exploiting the value of some old stars, which has seriously harmed the interests of the players. Either Leeds United should give them a salary increase, or Leeds United should allow them to transfer and leave."

Tottenham and Bolton subsequently joined the bidding war, with a strong intention to "dismember" Leeds United.

Whether any players have left is unknown to the outside world.

But it is an indisputable fact that Leeds United has become the public enemy.

...

Many media sent people to the Thorpe Arch training base.

They watched the Leeds United bus drive out of the training base normally.

Shen Hao was sitting by the window without closing the curtains. He looked normal and was not overwhelmed by the series of offers.

Just when the media were about to leave.

Suddenly, I saw a car approaching. The car stopped in front of the gate of Thorpe Arch Training Base. Someone got out of the car and went to the guard room to negotiate.

Paparazzi are naturally sharp-eyed.

Suddenly, it was discovered that the person in the back seat of the car was none other than Christian Vieri, who had been the focus of public opinion before!

The driver came back and said to Vieri: "There is no one in the club. The head coach has taken the team to play a game, and the doorman is notifying the club's CEO."

Vieri was stunned at first, he didn't expect there would be a game today.

He didn't even watch the Premier League schedule before coming.

I thought I just finished a game the night before yesterday and I should train today no matter what.

This Premier League schedule is really a bit anti-human.

Reporters surrounded the car.

Vieri got out of the car and planned to walk into the training base to visit first.

At this time, reporters naturally surrounded him and asked him the purpose of his trip to the Thorpe Arch training base.

Vieri replied nonchalantly: "I'll come for a trial."

Whoa!

No one expected that Vieri was determined to join Leeds United!

A reporter asked him if he wouldn't consider West Ham United?

Vieri replied bluntly: "Not interested."

It was previously rumored that Manchester United was also trying to bring him in.

Vieri said bluntly: "Manchester United is nothing different. I just want to join Leeds United."

Over two months, Vieri learned a lot about Leeds United from Toldo.

Here is the "magic" that he values ​​most!

As a veteran, what he needs is to regain his glory.

Instead of joining a glamorous wealthy team, become a water dispenser keeper yourself.

Fleet Street reporters had mixed feelings.

Premier League hegemon Manchester United actually seems to be invisible to everyone in Vieri's eyes.

This is so... normal.

Vieri can also be regarded as someone who came from the Little World Cup era.

He has the inner arrogance of an Italian player.

At the same time, he also played for Inter Milan, AC Milan and other teams.

Will England's wealthy families be special in his eyes?

What's more, he had been paying attention to Leeds United before coming.

He knows that Manchester United and Leeds United are mortal enemies.

Now that Leeds United has been identified, what's the harm in offending Manchester United?

When he said goodbye to his teammates after terminating his contract with AC Milan, someone else said something to him.

"After going to Leeds United, beat Manchester United to death!"

Looking at AC Milan, the one who can say this must be Stam.

The Dutch defender who was kicked out by Ferguson at a Manchester petrol station.

The doorman opened the door and came out to invite Vieri inside.

Let him visit as he pleases.

15 minutes later, Tang Jinyu drove to the Thorpe Arch training base and received Vieri in person.

He had already spoken to Shen Hao on the phone on the way here.

Vieri took a general look at the training base and found nothing special.

When he was about to leave, Tang Jinyu asked in surprise: "Aren't you here to join Leeds United?"

"Yeah, isn't there no one here? How about a trial training?"

"The contract has been drawn up and if we have no differences it will be signed today."

Vieri was in a good mood instantly.

"Since there is no need for a trial training, there is no problem for me. As long as the contract is suitable, I can sign it today."

He was even more curious about Leeds United.

Leeds United are not afraid of hidden injuries in his body...so confident.

Little did he know that Shen Hao could make all his injuries disappear without a trace as long as he still had breath.

The contract given to Vieri is no different from other top-paid players.

Both have a weekly salary of 2, and there will be generous bonus terms.

Vieri knew about Leeds United's situation before he arrived.

Other teams do give more.

But he obviously didn't come here to earn a pension.

If you can regain your glory, are you still worried about not making money?

Night falls.

It's past midnight Chinese time.

At this time, the white-clothed headquarters group was boiling.

"Look at the official website, there is an updated transfer announcement, it is officially announced that Vieri has joined!"

"Wow! It's true, Vieri is here!"

"Hahaha, Bai Yi has another strong support!"

"Christian Vieri, 32 years old, Italian center, debuted in Serie A, played for Juventus, Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid, left Inter Milan in the summer due to a public conflict with Mancini and joined AC Milan, but in AC Milan Didn’t get many chances.”

"What I care about most is what kind of contract Vieri gets."

"The official website did not disclose it, but according to British media reports, Vieri also earns a weekly salary of 2 pounds."

"Haha, does this count as a slap in the face for teams like West Ham United? They can give more, so what? Vieri is only willing to play for us in white!"

Vieri's joining caused a wave of public opinion shock in England.

Leeds United attracted him more than money!

Although it is a bit absolute to say this, if other teams add 0 to the annual salary in their contract quotations, then don't think about it, Vieri will definitely sign immediately.

But when the gap is not particularly large, it is not enough to shake his belief in joining Leeds United.

Good news ahead of Leeds United.

When Shen Hao appeared at Upton Park, the bubble at West Ham United's home ground had not yet dissipated.

Before the game, West Ham United likes to place a huge bubble machine at their home court. The bubbles blown by the machine float in the stadium. Whether it is under the stars and lights at night, or under the sunshine in the afternoon, they are all beautiful. visual sense.

After the last extra-large bubble shattered and dissipated in the air, West Ham United fans began to cheer. Fans near the sidelines vomited sweet words to Shen Hao.

After all, during the Christmas holidays, cursing is not the mainstream.

In the visiting team's fans' stands, members of the Leeds special team deliberately stood on the seats on the edge of the aisle, arms folded across their chests, looking arrogant.

If any West Ham United fans want to rush over, they will naturally give the opponent a head-on blow.

Alan Pardew looked very serious when he entered the field.

The whole world knows that Vieri has signed for Leeds United.

But Leeds United did not give him excessive treatment.

This makes West Ham United lose face.

If you give me more money, no one will come.

The obvious thing is to tell the world that West Ham United is far inferior to Leeds United in other aspects.

Shen Hao was actually very calm inside.

It's better if Vieri comes, and there's no point in being resentful if he doesn't come.

However, West Ham United and other Premier League teams have made offers to players such as Rivaldo and Jamie Redknapp.

It will indeed cause some trouble for him.

This is to tear down Leeds United and shake their foundation!

Shen Hao never underestimates the power of money.

Money is not everything, but nothing can be done without money.

As for the things that money cannot buy, they are like a drop in the ocean, elusive and hard to find.

It is even said in football circles: Money cannot buy championships.

Can’t you really buy it?

If money can't buy it.

Why did Chelsea win the first Premier League title in team history? It was also the first time in half a century that Chelsea won the top league title in England.

It's not because Abu is here.

If I have to say Chelsea haven't won the Champions League yet.

This is also far-fetched.

Because there are too many teams that have not won the Champions League.

Just because Leeds United doesn't give players super high maximum salaries doesn't mean they are stingy in their salary system.

In fact, Leeds United's current wage expenditure is expected to exceed 4000 million pounds this season!

If he wins the Premier League championship, this number will rise by at least 500 million pounds!

The expenditure among Premier League teams is definitely the highest among the Big 4 teams.

Shen Hao currently has no plans to change this salary structure.

If there is to be a change, it will be next summer.

At least when Leeds United is determined to enter the Champions League next season, it will have the confidence and capital to increase the cost of wage expenditures.

As for interference factors from the outside world.

It is not enough to influence him to change the planned matters.

In this regard, he is very clear-headed and cannot be influenced by the outside world.

Otherwise, the seeds of disaster will inevitably be planted.

Leeds United challenged West Ham United away.

Some of the main players have returned.

On the forward line, Ribery, Claudio Lopez and Mendieta form a trident.

Midfielder Jamie Redknapp was injured in the last game and was diagnosed and needed to be sidelined for 10 days.

Shen Hao expected that this time would be shortened to one week.

Seth Johnson, Davis, and Gregan started today.

Kelly is still working hard at the back line. Although the captain in white is not outstanding in assisting ability and his defense is not world-class, this diligence and dedication, as well as his perseverance, can be regarded as an important part of Leeds United's ethos.

Kilgallon, de Boer, Baines.

The goalkeeper is still Sullivan.

Even Leeds United fans can see from the squad that Shen Hao's holiday for veterans such as Rivaldo and Toldo is a privileged treatment.

These decisions must also be made by him as the coach.

Leeds United launched a defensive counterattack in the away game.

West Ham United naturally expects to beat Leeds United at home.

After the trial period at the start of the game, West Ham United began to gradually increase its offensive intensity.

Alan Pardew seems to be directing the game from the sidelines with a heavy psychological baggage.

Maybe he really wanted Vieri in his heart.

He also hopes to get Rivaldo through an offer.

But now Vieri, who is most likely to get it, has officially announced that he is wearing white.

And Rivaldo... Leeds United had rejected all offers from other teams before the game.

There was no response, verbal or written.

It’s just a simple rejection!

Leeds United's counterattack advanced to the frontcourt, with Ribery as the main attacking direction.

However, he was chased and intercepted by West Ham United and failed to threaten.

West Ham United's offensive play in the frontcourt created some threats and dangers.

But failed to score.

Hammers fans feel they can score Leeds United's goal at any time.

But five minutes before the end of the first half, the game suddenly changed!

Mendieta first shot a long shot from the top right side of the penalty area through Carroll's fingers.

Three minutes later, he and Lopez completed a small-scale pass and cut cooperation with the wall, and then broke into the right rib area of ​​the penalty area and sent the ball into the far corner of the goal with a low shot!

Scored twice in 4 minutes!

Helped Leeds United get a two-goal lead at the end of the first half.

West Ham United fans are extremely shocked!

"Mendieta...the best midfielder in Europe in the past is alive!"

"Fak, that's outrageous! Rivaldo is on Christmas vacation. How can Mendieta perform so dazzlingly as a substitute?"

"No wonder Valencia and Sevilla want him!"

Mendieta actually had a lot of bright performances after joining Leeds United.

It's just that they are all in competitions that don't attract much attention, such as the League Cup and the Europa League.

Moreover, he always fights with the substitute lineup, and he himself will be limited by the overall strength of the team and unable to exert his strongest strength.

Leeds United did not play all their main players today.

But after all, it is better than a pure substitute rotation.

Moreover, he still plays defensive counterattack, which is more conducive to performance in space.

Only at this time did Premier League fans have a visually stunning impact on Mendieta!
