Gao Shen sat in the yard of his villa, staring at the dark night sky in a daze.
It's been a few days since the 15th, but the moon is still quite round tonight.
Gao Shen has been thinking about the Leeds United transfer.
In the past two or three months, he has been busy with Real Madrid and has no time to take care of Leeds United. As a result, when things come up now, he is a little unprepared and needs to deal with them carefully.
When doing advanced work, one always needs to be prepared with both hands.
This tradition has also continued to the Leeds United management.
If Leeds United sells, it means that there is already a suitable replacement in the team, or a successor has been found.
For example, Incardi is the team's leading scorer, but if he wants to transfer, Leeds United will still have Harry Kane or "veteran" Vardy.
Speaking of which, Vardy is playing more and more time now, scoring two goals in the Premier League and two in the cup.
He is currently the team's third forward after Incardi and Harry Kane.
This is truly a legend for the 26-year-old Vardy.
But he is still working hard and making progress.
If midfielder Jorginho leaves the team, there will be someone in the Leeds United team who can replace him, and that is Brozovic.
Under the guidance of Gao Shen, this player has been switching to playing as a deep-lying playmaker and has performed well.
Fabinho is also a suitable candidate, but for this defender who has always played on the right, it will take a while for him to transition to playing as a defensive midfielder. However, Gao Shen is very sure that he is a defensive midfielder.
If Paul Pogba leaves the team, then Leeds United will have Kondogbia.
Just in case, Leeds United also signed Rabiot from Manchester City, which is double insurance.
Gao Shen has also talked with Pochettino before.
The Argentinian has watched a lot of Leeds United game videos and intelligence materials in the past six months. He believes that Coutinho's most suitable position should not be on the left midfielder, but on the left central midfielder, or
He plays in the attacking midfield position.
He believes that the biggest benefit of doing so is that it can improve the impact of the team's two wings.
Especially when Kurzawa is likely to leave the team, although there is still Bertrand and Benjamin Mendy in France, Gao Shen has also asked the technical team to find a left back, but Couti should still be
Neo moved to the middle.
This is the conclusion I came to after watching the profound Real Madrid.
He believes that Leeds United should, like Real Madrid, insist on attacking from both sides and strengthen the control of the midfield.
Gao Shen feels that Pochettino's idea is also very interesting and may even bring unexpected surprises.
As for the defense, if Koulibaly really leaves, there will be Marquinhos, Stones and Maguire.
In addition, Leeds United had previously signed De Vrij and Van Dijk from the Eredivisie, but after signing them, they loaned them to their respective teams.
For now, Leeds United doesn't need to worry at all about its central defender reserves.
This is actually a strategy adopted by Leeds United in terms of transfer signings.
For example, in the goalkeeper position, the current main goalkeeper is Navas, and the Costa Rica international also performed very well, but Leeds United has already begun preparations.
As early as last summer, the team signed Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson on a free transfer from Ribeirao of the Portuguese Second Division.
After signing, Ederson was loaned to a Portuguese second league team to play for him, giving him more opportunities to practice in the game.
In addition, Leeds United also signed Alisson Becker from Internacional Brasil.
The 20-year-old Brazilian goalkeeper will move to Leeds United this summer, and the team will use the special talent clause for him because he is now a player of the Brazilian National Youth Team.
As for the 19-year-old Ederson, he continues to train in the Portuguese Super League on loan.
With these three goalkeepers, Gao Shen believes that Leeds United will not need to worry about their goals in the next few years.
It can be said that Gao Shen is now working hard to help Leeds United build a system to cope with the storm in the future.
But now, the storm is coming, and he is a little worried.
He really put a lot of effort into Leeds United.
…
"What's the matter?"
Su Qing walked out of the house, came to Gao Shen, and sat down next to him.
Her husband had not entered the house since he came back. He made a phone call and sat at the door thinking about something. She was also a little worried.
"Nothing." Gao Shen pretended to smile casually, "Where is the child?"
"Asleep, my mother-in-law and my mother are watching."
Gao Shen nodded.
Since having the child, his mother and mother-in-law basically live in Madrid, and even his father and father-in-law often travel, once or twice a month, just to see this precious grandson.
The whole family feels very sorry for this boy.
So much so that Gao Shen was a little worried, would he be spoiled?
Therefore, Gao Shen decided that when he reached the age, he would send this kid to the Real Madrid youth training camp and let him play football.
Su Qing is still the chairman of Leeds United, and she knows many things about the team.
Especially after giving birth to her child, she began to work remotely again, taking over various matters of the club, and her life began to become more fulfilling.
"Sometimes, when I talk to them, I always have a very strange feeling." Su Qing looked at Gao Shen and said gently.
"What?" Gao Shen was very surprised.
"We all find it very strange. You give us a sense of urgency, as if you are racing against time."
Gao Shen was shocked.
"Just like last year's team transfer. In fact, we didn't have to worry about it like this, but you still decided to sell. Although none of us said it at the time, we vaguely guessed that you were planning to build a training camp.
base."
Gao Shen didn't say anything, so it was his acquiescence.
"Coming back to this summer, we have made historic breakthroughs in terms of league results and business operations this season. Our revenue this season can exceed 100 million pounds, which is an extraordinary achievement."
Over 100 million pounds, a large part comes from the Premier League broadcasting revenue.
Based on Leeds United's current performance and number of broadcasts, it is expected to receive at least 50 to 55 million pounds this year.
Coupled with the team's business operations and income, as well as ticket revenue, it is a high probability that it will exceed 100 million pounds.
If we look at such results, we can rank among the top 30 in European football.
But Leeds United's salary expenditure is very low in European football.
"Next season, the Premier League's new broadcast contract will be implemented, and the revenue will increase significantly. Our offices in North America and Asia will also increase efforts to attract investment, plus our training base naming contract with AXA, and
Training uniform sponsorship contract, £15 million per year.”
"We can foresee that the team's revenue can reach new highs. There is absolutely no problem with that."
When Su Qing said this, she looked at Gao Shen in confusion.
"We don't understand. It took us two or three years to build such a team, but why do you still give us the feeling that you are worried and time is running out?"
Gao Shen understood what Su Qing meant, and probably Fernando Lucas, Borrell and others also thought the same way.
In fact, if he were not a time traveler, he would definitely think so.
But as a time traveler, he knows very well that these are far from enough for Leeds United now.
If nothing else, if we want to become bigger and stronger, we must have a new stadium.
Even with the dilapidated appearance of Elland Road, no matter how much it is repaired or upgraded, it cannot satisfy the profound ambitions.
Does it cost money to build a new stadium?
Next, players' salaries and transfer fees will explode. If we don't control it from the source and let the team's salary skyrocket, in the end
The final result was that Leeds United was quickly finished.
Because Gao Shen simply does not have the financial resources of those rich people, he cannot afford to burn money.
Unless, he is willing to sell all his wealth, including all stocks.
But this is a bottomless pit.
If you really want to burn it like this, even the richest people in the world can't afford it.
Therefore, he must establish a self-financing operating system for Leeds United as soon as possible.
Whether it’s a new stadium, a lineup, or a business system, these all temporarily require the help of advanced time traveler advantages for primitive accumulation, but the advantages of advanced players will only last until 2021.
He must complete everything before 2021.
The new stadium cannot even wait until 2021 and must be completed within a few years. Otherwise, as soon as the UK leaves the European Union and the price of materials increases, the example of Tottenham Hotspur's new stadium doubling in cost is a profound lesson.
Gao Shen had no way of revealing the time traveler, but he told Su Qing with certainty that European football would see a trend of skyrocketing annual salaries and transfer fees.
In fact, many practitioners have foreseen it.
Especially in the Premier League.
Every time broadcast revenue skyrockets, players' annual salaries and transfer fees skyrocket.
There is also a new stadium. Gao Shen is very clear that Leeds United must prepare to build a new stadium. Only then can the foundation be laid.
Leeds United cannot survive on Elland Road alone.
"In the past few years, the Premier League has received a lot of foreign investment, but in recent years, from Manchester City to Paris Saint-Germain, to Monaco this summer, there will be more in the future, such as Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and even the United States.
and regional capital, they will all come in.”
"If we cannot strengthen ourselves before this, the final result will be that we will be regarded as a piece of fat by them and divided into pieces. Then Leeds United will always be their youth training factory, and even staying in the Premier League will be very difficult.
Disaster."
Gao Shen's words can't be seen yet, but Su Qing believes in his vision.
Because, in the past few years, Gao Shen has never missed a thing from buying a house to investing in the capital.
Su Qing even developed an almost blind trust in him.
"We need to raise funds and endure a few more years of hard work to build a new stadium." Gao Shen made up his mind.
"Are you sure Pochettino can handle it?" Su Qing asked with concern.
Gao Shen nodded, "On a competitive level, I believe that with me here and him as the head coach, relegation will not be a problem."
After gaining experience this season, Gao Shen is more confident.
"I understand." Su Qing nodded, "I will have a meeting with Fernando and Rudolf tomorrow."
"Don't worry, I will fully support you, and the same goes for both of them. We will obey your command no matter how you go!"
Gao Shen's heart moved.
From his wife's eyes and expression, he felt a deep sense of trust.
Even worship.
This gave him a sense of accomplishment and made him more motivated.
